Lewis family source drops exciting 5-word update after £100m Spurs investment

Tottenham’s majority owner ENIC, which is run by the Lewis family Trust, has injected £100million of new capital into the club.

The announcement on Thursday morning is the latest statement of intent by the Lewis family Trust, which invited Daniel Levy to step down as chairman on September 4 in an effort to achieve more on-field success at Spurs.

Three expressions of interest in buying a stake in Premier League club Tottenham have been “unequivocally rejected” during the last month by the Lewis family Trust and further funds are available to help Thomas Frank, the PA news agency understands.

A source close to the family gave PA an exciting 5-word update that implies further investment is on the way.

They continued: “As the club’s management decides what’s needed to deliver success, more money will be available. The Lewis family is committed to backing the club to be successful.”

A statement on the official club website claimed “this equity injection will further strengthen the club’s financial position and equip the club’s leadership team with additional resources to continue the focus on driving long-term sporting success”.

New Spurs boss Frank has made a strong start to life in north London, winning six of his opening 11 matches in charge and guiding the club to third in the Premier League going into the October international break.

Peter Charrington, who was named non-executive chairman in the wake of Levy’s sudden departure, said: “As I stated a few weeks ago, our focus is on stability and empowering the management team to deliver on the club’s ambitions.

“I know the Lewis family are also ambitious for the future. Today’s capital commitment reflects that ambition and I would like to thank them for their ongoing support.

“We will continue to do all we can to ensure that Vinai (Venkatesham, CEO) and his team are supported in the best way possible to take this club forward.”

الجيش الملكي: بعض الجماهير تعمدت مضايقة الأهلي.. ونتوقع عقوبات من كاف

أكد نافع الرفاعي المتحدث الرسمي باسم الجيش الملكي المغربي، إن إدارة النادي اتخذت قرارًا بإيقاف الفئة التي أحدثت شغباً أمام الأهلي في دوري أبطال إفريقيا.

وكان الأهلي قد تعادل مع نظيره فريق الجيش الملكي بهدف لكل منهما، في الجولة الثانية من دور المجموعات من بطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا.

وقال الرفاعي في تصريحات على راديو ميجا إف إم: “الجيش الملكي يعاني من التحكيم هذا الموسم في دوري أبطال إفريقيا، وتعرضنا لظلم تحكيمي واضح أمام يانج أفريكانز التنزاني في الجولة الأولى”. 

وأضاف: “نتعجب من عدم تواجد تقنية الفيديو في دور المجموعات بدوري أبطال إفريقيا، ونتمنى تطبيقها في المباريات المتبقية من دوري أبطال افريقيا”.

وتابع: “قدمنا اعتذارًا مباشراً إلى الأهلي عقب المباراة، وإدارة الاهلي تفهمت ذلك الأمر ونتمنى عدم تطبيق عقوبات ضد الجيش الملكي من كاف أو تكون عقوبات خفيفة”.

وواصل: “اتخذنا قرارا بمنع الجماهير التي أحدثت الشغب في مباراة الأهلي والجيش الملكي، ومنعهم من دخول المباريات، وهؤلاء دخلوا لمضايقة النادي الأهلي ولكن الأمور سارت على ما يرام”.

تحدث مدحت عبد الهادي، لاعب الزمالك السابق، عن رأيه في أداء الأبيض تحت قيادة أحمد عبد الرؤوف المدير الفني.

وقال مدحت عبد الهادي، عبر قناة “MBC مصر 2”: “أحمد عبد الرؤوف غير مقنع بالنسبة لي، والزمالك يحتاج إلى مدير فني أجنبي”.

وتابع: “عبد الرؤوف نجح في فترته المؤقتة، لكنه غير قادر على إدارة فريق كبير مثل الزمالك في بطولة إفريقيا والمباريات المقبلة لا نريد أن نظلم، لأن في النهاية المظلومين هم جماهير الزمالك”.

وأكمل: “أما عن إيقاف رمضان صبحي بسبب المنشطات، فقبل أن تكون هذه ثقافة اللاعب، يجب أن تكون ثقافة الجهاز الفني أو الطبي المسؤول عن اللاعبين، وبالأخص الطاقم الطبي بالكامل”.

وأتم: “الجهاز الطبي عليه وعي كبير جدًا بالنسبة للاعبين، فاللاعب ليس ملك نفسه”.

Newcastle now hold strong interest in Elliot Anderson amid Tuchel comments

Newcastle United now hold strong interest in signing Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, who has received high praise from England manager Thomas Tuchel.

Alan Shearer recently spoke about just how happy he is Anderson has been able to kick on since leaving his boyhood club due to PSR issues, saying: “It was the best thing. Although it was tough for Newcastle and it wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for PSR.

“But it was the best thing that happened to him, to get out and play. He wasn’t going to get in Newcastle’s midfield. You’ve got to give him credit. He wouldn’t be far away now [from getting in Newcastle’s midfield], I agree with that.”

With the likes of Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes to choose from, Eddie Howe has some quality midfielders at his disposal, but it will no doubt be frustrating to have lost their academy graduate, who has since gone on to attract attention from a number of Premier League clubs.

The likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United have all been credited with an interest in the Whitley Bay-born midfielder, and reliable reporter John Percy has now dropped an update on his future at Forest…

Newcastle hold strong interest in signing Elliot Anderson

According to Percy, Newcastle now hold strong interest in signing Anderson, but would-be suitors will have to spend big to get a deal done, with the Tricky Trees looking to hold out for over £100m, including installments.

Sean Dyche’s side are unwilling to sanction a departure this winter under any circumstances, meaning a move will have to wait until next summer, at which point the central midfielder will be in high demand, with Man United also very keen.

The Telegraph report also relays comments from England boss Tuchel, who said: “Anderson is a key player for us at the moment,

“He is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, that’s why he is with us and starting for us.

“He is an elite player with the right attitude and a lot of talent.”

The 23-year-old has emerged as an important player for the Three Lions as of late, recently putting in a solid display as Tuchel’s side cruised to a 2-0 victory against Serbia in their penultimate World Cup qualifier.

As such, while it will sting to shell out around £100m for a former youth player, Newcastle should definitely pursue Anderson next summer, particularly considering there are now doubts over Joelinton’s future…

Juan Soto's Record-Setting Contract With Mets Blows Jason and Travis Kelce's Minds

Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce have made a significant amount of money in their respective careers—about $176 million combined in salary.

And yet! Even they couldn't help but gawk during Wednesday's episode of their podcast at the 15-year, $765 million contract the New York Mets handed to right fielder Juan Soto this past Sunday.

"Arguably the most ridiculous f—ing contract I've ever heard of in my life," Travis said.

Both Jason and Travis were shocked by the longevity and sheer size of the deal, with Jason calling it "a big gamble."

The ex-center then called on NFLPA to step up its game.

"The baseball union… I don't know how they've finagled this stuff, but wow. NFL union's gotta get their stuff together," Jason said.

The Kelce brothers have a number of baseball loyalties, having pledged allegiance at points to both their hometown Cleveland Guardians and their respective NFL teams' city-mates.

Soto's heroics against the Guardians didn't stop Travis from praising him, however.

"Congratulations, Juan Soto," Travis said. "That dude is a f—ing beast."

Starc rips apart West Indies' top order with triple-wicket burst

It was only the second time in Test cricket (since ESPNcricinfo’s ball-by-ball data is available) for a bowler to take three wickets in the opening over of an innings

ESPNcricinfo staff14-Jul-2025

Mitchell Starc struck on the first ball of the innings for the fourth time in his Test career•Associated Press

Mitchell Starc came in red-hot with the pink-ball in the fourth innings of the Kingston Test between Australia and West Indies.Taking the new ball, he struck in the first ball of the innings, and then proceeded to take two more to leave West Indies 0 for 3 after six deliveries. It was only the second time (since ESPNcricinfo’s ball-by-ball data is available) of a bowler taking three wickets in the first over of an innings. This is how our ball-by-ball commentator described the spell of play.
caught behind first ball! 137kph, perfect length and line, angled into off, it nips away off the seam, John Campbell has to defend on the front foot, gets a thin nick as it veers off the seam and it’s a simple catch for Inglis.
139kph, bouncer way down the leg side. Athletic take from Inglis.
good length, angled way wide of off, 139kph, he leaves
good length, middle and off, he defends on the front foot
plumb lbw! No shot offered and it would have hit middle. Anderson walks. No he doesn’t. He reviews at Louis’ urging. He knows this is out. Full, swinging back into middle, he was early to leave thinking it would veer across and it swerved back into the front shin. Ball-tracking has it hitting the middle of middle. No idea why Mikyle Louis encouraged that review. That was ridiculous. Anderson knew the moment it hit him that the dismissal was plumb.
bowled him! Three in the over! 143kph, swinging back, inside edge onto leg stump! Another beauty right on the money. Perfect length, shaping back into off, he has to play and drives hard at a length that’s not full enough to drive, it swings back sharply, catches the inside edge and crashes into leg.

جرافنبيرخ: سنسأل لاعب ليفربول عن إيقاف مبابي.. والجمهور حُر في تعامله مع أرنولد

ظهر ريان جرافنبيرخ، لاعب فريق ليفربول، في مؤتمر صحفي اليوم للحديث عن مباراة يوم الثلاثاء ضد نظيره فريق ريال مدريد، في بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا.

ويستضيف ملعب “الأنفيلد” مباراة فريقي ليفربول وريال مدريد، في إطار منافسات الجولة الرابعة من دوري أبطال أوروبا، موسم 2025/26، مرحلة الدوري.

وقال جرافنبيرخ، في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “ليفربول إيكو” الإنجليزية: “تسجيلي الأهداف؟ أستمع لوالدي أكثر، دائمًا ما يقول لي (سدد أكثر، سدد أكثر)، وهذا ما فعلته ضد أستون فيلا، يشاهد كل مباراة، أستمع إليه كثيرًا، كل مباراة مهمة، الفوز على أستون فيلا كان جيدًا لنا، وسنتعامل مع كل مباراة على حدة، ونركز غدًا على ريال مدريد”.

وأضاف: “رد الفعل تجاه أرنولد؟ لا أعرف كيف سيكون استقباله من جانب الجلماهير، ولكن عندما أراه فهو صديقي، لم أتبادل معه الكثير من الرسائل بعد”.

وواصل: “ريال مدريد؟ إنهم يقدمون أداءً رائعًا هذا الموسم، الفريق بأكمله، مبابي، فينيسيوس على اليسار، علينا أن نكون في قمة أدائنا غدًا، إيقاف مبابي؟ إيبو (كوناتي) يعرفه جيدًا، لذلك يجب التحدث معه، مبابي لاعب من الطراز الرفيع، يجيد اللعب خلف المساحات، ويصل إلى الكرة، لن يكون الأمر سهلًا علينا، لكننا سنحاول إيقافه”.

واسترسل: “تجديد عقدي؟ من الواضح أنني سعيد هنا، عليك أن ترى، لم نتحدث بعد، سنرى ما سيحدث، سلوت؟ بالنسبة لي هو مهم، لقد منحني فرصة أن أصبح لاعبًا أساسيًا وأظهر قدراتي، أنا سعيد جدًا”.

واستكمل: “مباراتي ريال مدريد ومانشستر سيتي المتتاليتين اختبارًا لموقف ليفربول؟ سؤال جيد، ينبغي أن يكون تركيزنا على مباراة الغد وليس مباراة نهاية الأسبوع”.

وما إذا كان اللاعبون الجدد يجعلون الأمر مختلفًا بالنسبة لهم في خط الوسط، قال: “ليس تمامًا، نحاول أن نفعل الشيء نفسه، فالأمر ليس سهلًا دائمًا بالنسبة للاعبين الجدد، فهم ينضمون إلى فريق جديد ومدرب جديد، ومبادئ لعب جديدة، ليس من السهل التواجد هنا وتقديم كل شيء بأفضل شكل ممكن”.

وشدد: “يستغرق الأمر وقتًا، لا يمكنك تحقيق النجاح من اليوم الأول، لقد أمضوا شهرين هنا وقد قدموا أداءً جيدًا بالفعل، وسنرى ما سيحدث في الأشهر القليلة المقبلة”.

وأخيرًا، عن كونه لاعب وسط دفاعي، قال: “الأمر ليس سهلاً، كنت ألعب هذا الدور سابقًا، لذلك كنت أعرف ما ينتظرني، عندما جاء المدرب تناقشنا حوله، أركز فقط على دوري وأبذل قصارى جهدي”.

'You need the consistency' – Enzo Maresca tells Chelsea squad they must find consistency if they are to challenge for Premier League title after dismal Sunderland defeat

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca urged his players to find consistency if they are to compete for the Premier League title this season. The Blues suffered a surprise 2-1 defeat against Sunderland at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, bringing an end to their four-game winning run and leaving them five points adrift of leaders Arsenal ahead of Sunday's clash with Crystal Palace.

After securing victories over Benfica, Liverpool, Nottingham Forest and Ajax in all competitions, Chelsea headed into the match against Sunderland in fine fettle. Maresca’s men got off to the perfect start when summer signing Alejandro Garnacho scored his first goal for the club following his move from Manchester United, but they were soon pegged back by Sunderland forward Wilson Isidor’s close-range finish. Winger Chemsdine Talbi then popped up with a 94th-minute winner to stun Chelsea, with Sunderland moving up to second in the table following their last-gasp victory.

The result leaves Chelsea five points off Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, who lock horns with Palace at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Maresca’s side are also two points behind Pep Guardiola's Manchester City ahead of their trip to Aston Villa on the same day, with Chelsea now hoping results go their way in order to stay in touch with the league’s two main title contenders.

AFPMaresca conceded Chelsea were 'not good enough' against Sunderland

Following Chelsea's defeat against Sunderland, Maresca said in his post-match press conference: "I think we were not good enough in general. We know that in the moment you drop a little, we dropped a little bit, you can lose points against any team in the Premier League. That is so difficult."

When asked if he expected more from his substitutes, Maresca said: "No it’s always difficult for the ones that they go inside. At least they tried. But again, overall we were not good enough.”

Italian also left frustrated as Chelsea fail to maintain consistency

And when speaking to Maresca expressed his frustration at his side's inability to maintain the level they had shown in recent weeks, adding: “If you want to be up there you need the consistency. We won four in a row and yesterday we could have shown that, but because we lost points we didn’t show that.

“If we can have that level and this level, probably it is better to have something in between, to be consistent always in the same way, rather than like this. But I think overall, since we started, we have performed much better compared to Saturday’s game (against Forest).

“Before this game we had exactly the same points as last year after eight games, but we dropped points yesterday. But we are still in October, we need to improve many things, and see where we are in March, April, May.”

Birmingham City tried to sign "unbelievable" Celtic player at the 11th hour

Birmingham City’s hopes of signing an attacking player from a huge club fell through right at the end of the summer transfer window.

The Blues were beaten 2-0 away to Leicester City last Friday, suffering their first defeat of the season in the Championship, following a good start to the season.

Birmingham manager Chris Davies was a frustrated figure after the game, failing to hide his disappointment at the performance his team produced.

In terms of deadline day dealings, the boss wanted two new wide players, with Sunderland winger Patrick Roberts sealing a late move to St Andrew’s.

But the Blues’ other target fell through at the final hurdle.

Birmingham suffer late blow with Celtic u-turn

Writing on X, journalist Raman Bhardwaj has reported that Birmingham missed out on signing Celtic attacker Hyun-jun Yang at the eleventh hour on deadline day, just before the window slammed shut.

Not signing Yang was an undoubted blow for the Blues, who know they need as much quality as possible in their efforts to secure back-to-back promotions and return to the Premier League.

The South Korean could have proved to be an excellent addition for Birmingham, with Celtic teammate Arne Engels speaking positively about him in the past.

“It was just unbelievable. I’m really happy for him. Yang is always training at 100%. A really amazing performance from him.”

Still, Davies should be in positive spirits about Birmingham’s hopes of impressing this season, having made some significant summer additions, from Kyogo Furuhashi to Marvin Ducksch.
