🚨 And now a record deal: ex-Bayern star brings in his son as coach
That's exactly what he's done now in his role as head coach of PSV Eindhoven. As the Eredivisie club announced today, van Bommel's son Ruben was signed from AZ Alkmaar. According to 'Sky', PSV is paying 15.8 million euros, which would replace Hirving Lozano, who came from Naples in 2023 for 15 million, as the record transfer.
However, with Ruben van Bommel, PSV is not getting a tenacious midfielder and destroyer like his father was as a player. The 20-year-old, who also played for Eindhoven in his youth, is a winger and is more known for his pacey dribbling and goal threat, rather than uncompromising tackles and hard-earned red cards. Last season, he scored ten goals and provided six assists in 34 games across all competitions.

Rangers warned Dor Turgeman comes with a 'fairytale' transfer fee as Igamane interest surges and a mentor steps in
Rangers have been told by Maccabi Tel Aviv boss Zarko Lazetic it would take a "fairytale offer" to sign Dor Turgeman this summer. Record Sport first revealed the striker is a target for the Light Blues as Russell Martin looks to strengthen his frontline with the new era at Ibrox set to officially start with his first competitive game in Champions League qualifying against Panathinaikos. Turgeman has reportedly already made his position over an exit clear with the Scottish Premiership named as his preferred destination - but there has been little movement in recent weeks.

He told Sport 1: "He is a football beast, only a fairytale offer would tempt the club to sell the player. £4million will not be enough." A deal is said to be on hold until after the Scottish Premiership side can offload either Cyriel Dessers or Hamza Igamane. Interest is rising in the Morocco international amid reports Lille are "struggling" to seal a deal with the Light Blues' standing firm on their £15million valuation. Everton and Udinese are said to be chasing a deal while Feyenoord have registered their interest. Voetbal Primeur report that the Dutch side could fund a deal for the 22-year-old by selling El Bilal Toure to Atalanta. Luuk de Jong is also reportedly on Rangers' radar as he looks to have brought his time at PSV Eindhoven to an end. The 34-year-old has seen his No. 9 jersey handed to Ricardo Pepi while the Eredivise champions have signed Borussia Monchengladbach forward Alassane Plea as a successor. During the German training camp this week, boss Peter Bosz admitted: "We owe a lot to Luuk, but we have to move on." PSV and Netherlands' legend Willy van de Kerkhof has urged De Jong to hold a last-ditch summit with Bosz before walking away from the offer on the table. He told ED: "The chances of him signing with PSV before September 1 are getting smaller and smaller, that much is clear. "I was 35 when I was faced with the decision to add another season after fourteen years at PSV. I myself was in doubt just like Luuk. "There were nice offers, for example from Go Ahead Eagles and a few other clubs. I would have liked to do something else, but changed my mind pretty quickly after a good conversation with Guus Hiddink. "He made me see how I could be of value as an older player, without playing a huge amount. I would like to give that to Luuk as well. "I had a wonderful last season, without much pressure. As an older player you can be so important with your experience and that gave me a lot of satisfaction."

Arsenal completes signing of Spain U21 defender Cristhian Mosquera
LONDON (AP) — Cristhian Mosquera became Arsenal's fifth signing of the off season on Thursday after completing a move from Valencia. The Spain Under 21 defender cost a reported 13 million pounds ($17.5 million) and signed a five-year deal with the option of a further 12 months. 'We identified Cristhian as one of the strongest young defenders in European football, and he is an important signing for our future,' Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta said. Arsenal, which has finished runner-up in the Premier League for the last three seasons, has been active in the market this summer. The move for Mosquera comes after deals for midfielders Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard, forward Noni Madueke and goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. The London club is also widely expected to sign a striker, with Viktor Gyokeres a reported target. The 21-year-old Mosquera was born in Spain and is also eligible to play for Colombia. He won gold at the Paris Olympics with Spain last year. 'He is a young player with exciting talent and enormous potential, who will fit well into our squad as we continue to prepare for next season,' manager Mikel Arteta said. ___ AP soccer:
