Chelsea sign Brazil forward Joao Pedro from Brighton
Brazil forward Joao Pedro has joined Chelsea from Brighton to continue the London giants' lavish spending under American owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital. Joao Pedro cost a reported $A125 million and has signed a contract through to 2033. "Everyone knows this is a big club with a great history," Joao Pedro said. "They had brilliant players in the past and have brilliant players now. So I am excited to join and you know when you are a Chelsea player you must think one thing - win." He has joined up with Chelsea's squad at the Club World Cup in the United States and is eligible to play in Friday's quarter-final against Palmeiras. Joao Pedro is Chelsea's fifth major signing this offseason after previous deals for Liam Delap, Dario Essugo, Kendry Paez and Mamadou Sarr. The boy from Brazil. 🇧🇷 — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) July 2, 2025 Under Boehly and Clearlake, the six-time English Premier League champions have spent well in excess of $A1.53 billion on transfers, including British record fess for Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo. Joao Pedro's arrival comes as Chelsea prepares for a return to the Champions League after a two-year absence. Bayer Leverkusen have signed defender Jarell Quansah from English champions Liverpool in a £35 million deal. The 22-year-old centre-back has joined the German Bundesliga club on a five-year contract. Quansah was part of the England side who won the European Under-21 Championship by beating Germany in the final on Saturday. His move is the third deal between the clubs this summer after Liverpool signed midfielder Florian Wirtz and defender Jeremie Frimpong.

2025 Club World Cup quarterfinal predictions: Who will reach the final four?
The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup has entered the quarterfinal stage and there are some huge teams, and some surprising teams, remaining in the competition. MORE — Prize money list for Club World Cup Will the favorites advance? Or will we see more shocks like we've had throughout this tournament, but especially in the last 16? MORE — Club World Cup schedule, bracket With four superb quarterfinals ties coming up this holiday weekend, below we reveal our Club World Cup quarterfinal predictions. 2025 FIFA Club World Cup quarterfinal predictions Friday, July 4 Fluminense 2-3 Al Hilal — This feels like it's going to be one heck of a game between two teams who weren't expected to reach the quarterfinals and will go all-out to reach the semis. Simone Inzaghi's Al Hilal showed against City that they will go for it and are so dangerous on the counter. Fluminense should have scored more against Inter Milan but gave up big chances too. This has all of the ingredients to be a classic and Al Hilal's extra depth should make the difference. Palmeiras 1-3 Chelsea — Enzo Maresca's Chelsea have improved as this competition has gone on and even without the suspended Moises Caicedo they should have more than enough to get past Palmeiras. Up top Liam Delap will likely be key and new signing Joao Pedro (a Brazilian international) is available to play right away. Palmeiras have been solid and steady but Chelsea are a big step up from the teams they've faced so far in this competition. Saturday, July 5 PSG 3-2 Bayern Munich — This is going to be a lot of fun. PSG press high and create so many chances but they're also vulnerable on the counter. That is where Bayern Munich thrive and there will be a lot of goals in this game. PSG have the extra depth and with Ousmane Dembele returning in attack that gives them the edge. Just. Don't be surprised if Bayern take the lead and if this goes to extra time. Real Madrid 2-1 Borussia Dortmund — A clash between two teams who both play a 3-5-2 and despite Real Madrid having the superior talent, don't sleep on Dortmund. Niko Kovac has done a great job to turn things around for the German giants and Serhou Guirassy is in fine form up top. But Real Madrid have been improving each game under new manager Xabi Alonso and getting Kylian Mbappe back from his stomach issue could be the difference in this one.

Diamondbacks ban loyal season-ticket holder after repeated interference incidents
The Arizona Diamondbacks have finally had enough with one of their most loyal fans. Dave McCaskill is a season-ticket holder for his beloved D-Backs and owns an Advantage Membership account, which grants him access to specific events, early postseason ticket access and discounts throughout the ballpark. However, after being involved in yet another fan-interference dilemma, the Diamondbacks banned him for the remainder of the year and terminated his membership account. "This particular fan has been involved in multiple offenses at Chase Field…" the team said in a statement. "This fan will have the opportunity to return to Chase Field in 2026 so long as he meets certain terms and abides by our Fan Code of Conduct." McCaskill reached for a ball that was off the bat of San Francisco Giants third baseman Christian Koss. The ball just missed the outstretched glove of left fielder Tim Tawa. Center fielder Alek Thomas appeared to exchange words with McCaskill, who tossed the ball to Thomas. Thomas then tossed it back up. Koss was initially ruled out, but after review, he was awarded a double, and McCaskill was booted from the ballpark. Recent videos of McCaskill making plays on borderline home run balls resurfaced on social media shortly after the D-Backs' announcement. "I'm a D-Backs fan. I would never want to do anything to hurt the D-backs or to have them lose the game," McCaskill told Fox 10 Phoenix. However, he admitted to being "ejected three times." (He later corrected himself to "technically… twice.") "I caught the ball, came right down, and you see my glove hit the yellow, the top. So I think the ball would have bounced on top and gone over," McCaskill explained. Fans are not allowed to reach over the wall, or the imaginary line directly above it, to catch a ball. But, it is fair game once the ball crosses said imaginary line. Jomboy Media pointed out a total of four instances, with other social media accounts saying he's been involved in five such reviews. "What I can comment on is last night, the play happened, I want the play to play. I want the play to be played out… I want plays to be made by the players," Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. McCaskill, according to the New York Post, said he has "followed" notorious ballhawk Zack Hample, who has garnered plenty of controversy throughout his game-attending days. Hample has caught over 10,000 baseballs. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
