Historic transfer: Son Heung-min signs with Los Angeles until 2027
MLS: Son Heung-min joins Los Angeles FC for two seasons! Son Heung-min / @ After intense negotiations, the American club Los Angeles has officially announced the signing of South Korean superstar Son Heung-min from Tottenham. This transfer becomes the most expensive in Major League Soccer history. At 33 years old, Son has signed a contract running until the end of 2027. The American club reached an agreement with Tottenham to buy out the remainder of the player's contract for $26 million, surpassing the previous record held by Ivorian Emmanuel Lâté ($22 million). Tottenham expressed its gratitude to their Korean international on the platform (X): "We can never thank you enough, Sonny." This transfer marks the end of a decade at the "Spurs" for Son, who played 454 matches and scored 173 goals, highlighted by the Europa League triumph last May. Son's final match in Tottenham colors took place against Newcastle United, during a friendly played in South Korea on August 3, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Jeremiah Trotter Jr., Kelee Ringo and more Eagles players to watch vs. Bengals
The Philadelphia Eagles are bringing back the majority of their starters from last year's Super Bowl team, but there are still plenty of players battling for playing time and roster spots for the 2025 season. While the Cincinnati Bengals plan to play their starters, don't count on the Eagles' top guys to see any action. Here's a list of Eagles players to watch in tonight's preseason opener against the Bengals. Philadelphia's linebacker unit has been the talk of training camp. On paper, the Eagles are loaded at the position. Zack Baun, an All-Pro in 2024, returns as one of the team's starters. Nakobe Dean had a breakout 2024 season, but he's working his way back from an injury, which means a starting spot is up for grabs on the top-ranked defense from last season. If he remains healthy, rookie Jihaad Campbell will likely be starting next to Baun in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys. The South Jersey native didn't participate in Philadelphia's offseason program as he recovers from a torn labrum in his shoulder. But Campbell began training camp practicing with the team, even though there was a chance he wouldn't join the Eagles until August. He'll be the No. 1 player to watch if he suits up against the Bengals. Second-year linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. is competing with Campbell for the starting job alongside Baun. Trotter Jr. mostly played on special teams in 2024, but he's also had a strong training camp. Campbell and Trotter Jr. have each rotated with the first-team defense in practice. Rookie Smael Mondon Jr. will be another linebacker to watch. He'll likely fill Trotter Jr.'s role from last season in 2025. The Eagles have a hole to fill at safety after trading C.J. Gardner-Johnson, as the starting safety spot alongside Reed Blankenship is up for grabs. Rookie Andrew Mukuba and Sydney Brown are the two favorites to win the job, but neither has separated from the other so far in camp. Both Mukuba and Brown have taken reps with the first-team defense. Mukuba missed multiple days of camp with a shoulder injury. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio told reporters this week that Mukuba "probably" won't be available to play against Cincinnati. Brown is entering year three with the Eagles and his second year under Fangio. He's dealt with injuries since being drafted, but Fangio said he's "making real good progress" in camp. With Mukuba likely not playing, Tristin McCollum and Andre Sam will be names Eagles fans should watch in the battle for the starting safety job. Staying in the secondary, the Eagles are looking for another starter on the outside next to Quinyon Mitchell. The Eagles made a move at cornerback this week, acquiring Jakorian Bennett from the Raiders. Kelee Ringo and veteran Adoree' Jackson are currently battling for the starting job, but neither has taken hold of the reins. With the Bengals set to play their starters, the two will get tested against Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Fangio also has praised rookie cornerback Mac McWilliams in camp, but he's dealt with an injury, so it's unclear if he'll play Thursday night. Behind A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson, the rest of the team's wide receivers are fighting for spots on the depth chart. So far in training camp, Elijah Cooks and Terrace Marshall have each had strong performances, which could bode well for each of them trying to earn a roster spot. Cooks entered the NFL in 2023 as an undrafted free agent with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he played 11 games over two seasons. In his final college season at San Jose State, Cooks caught 69 passes for 1,076 yards and 10 scores. Marshall, a former second-round pick in 2021, has yet to live up to his draft status, but Brown had high praise for the former LSU wideout early in camp. Marshall recently returned from an injury, so it's unclear if he'll play against Cincy. Johnny Wilson and Ainias Smith — the team's 2024 draft picks at wide receiver — are also battling for roster spots. They could each have the edge over players like Cooks and Marshall because they were drafted by the Eagles. The Eagles added edge rushers Azeez Ojulari and Joshua Uche after losing Josh Sweat to free agency and Brandon Graham to retirement following the 2024 season. But both Ojulari and Uche have had quieter camps. Ojulari and Uche practicing against the best offensive tackles in the NFL might be a product of that, but the Eagles will likely want to see more from their rotational edge rushers in the weeks to come. Fangio said Ojulari and Uche have had better practices lately. Still, the Eagles could look to add a veteran edge rusher if the team doesn't feel good about the group behind Nolan Smith and Jaylx Hunt heading into the season. Tanner McKee, Jalen Hurts' backup, has shone in the preseason since the team drafted him in 2023. Now, rookie quarterback Kyle McCord will get a chance to do it as well. McCord, a St. Joe's Prep product who was picked in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL draft out Syracuse, will likely get a good amount of playing time against the Bengals. McCord is competing with Dorian Thompson-Robinson to become Philadelphia's third-string quarterback. The Eagles acquired Thompson-Robinson in a trade that sent Kenny Pickett to the Cleveland Browns. Philadelphia will likely want to see McCord follow the same developmental path that McKee has gone down the last two seasons.

US Open will offer the largest purse in tennis history at $90 million
The champions of this year's US Open are set to enjoy the biggest payday in tennis history. Tournament organizers announced on Wednesday that the men's and women's singles champions will each earn $5 million at this year's tournament, a 39% increase on the $3.6 million awarded in 2024. Overall, the tournament's prize purse will top $90 million – the largest in tennis history and a 20% increase on last year, which stood at $75 million. There will also be sizeable increases in pay for those who progress to the latter stages of the competition, with singles finalists earning $2.5 million (a 26% increase), semifinalists $1.26 million (a 26% increase), and quarterfinalists $660,000 (a 25% increase). For the first time at the tournament, winning teams in the men's, women's and mixed doubles will receive $1 million in prize money. The increase in prize money comes after some of the world's top players reportedly sent a letter to organizers of the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open requesting a 'substantial increase' in prize money. 'The US Open has made a deliberate and concerted effort to ensure double-digit percentage increases from 2024 in all rounds of all events for all players, while at the same time significantly increasing the percentage of prize money for athletes playing deep into the singles draws,' said a press release on the US Open website. Organizers have also set aside $5 million to put towards player expenses, including a $1,000 travel stipend for each player and two hotel rooms at the official player hotel (or $600 per day for staying at alternative accommodation). Qualifying for this year's US Open begins on August 18, with the main singles draws getting underway on August 24 and concluding on September 7. Sweeping – and controversial – changes have been made to the mixed doubles competition this year, which will now be staged on August 19 and 20 and include some of the biggest names in the sport. Among some of the all-star pairings will be Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu, Jannik Sinner and Emma Navarro, Casper Ruud and Iga Świątek, and Aryna Sabalenka and Grigor Dimitrov. The rationale is that top players will then be available to appear in the mixed doubles, attracting more fans and allowing broadcasters to spotlight the competition before main draw singles play begins. However, defending champions Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori called the format change a 'pseudo-exhibition' and 'profound injustice' which 'disrespect(s) an entire category of players.' Eight pairs of the 16-team field have been selected based on their combined singles ranking, while eight are wild-card entries. The US Tennis Association told CNN Sports that the new format will 'elevate mixed doubles with a bigger spotlight and provide a greater opportunity to inspire more people to play and grow the sport.' It also said in a press release that 'the world's best players will have the opportunity to compete for this title and the multi-million dollar purse without having to juggle mixed doubles with their singles and doubles commitments.'
