Arne Slot 'very happy' with Liverpool squad as speculation continues over Alexander Isak
Arne Slot refused to be drawn on speculation continuing to link Liverpool with a big-money move for Newcastle forward Alexander Isak as the manager declared himself happy with his current squad. The 25-year-old has been linked with a British transfer record move to Liverpool after failing to feature in Newcastle's pre-season preparations. Liverpool have reportedly seen a £110 million bid for Isak rejected, with Newcastle apparently asking for £150m. Isak's future at Newcastle now hangs in the balance after the Swedish striker was reportedly told to train apart from the rest of the squad. Isak missed the Magpies' trip to Singapore and South Korea, citing a minor thigh injury, and instead flew to Spain to train at former club Real Sociedad. He has since returned to Tyneside. Premier League champions Liverpool have invested huge sums in the market this summer with a club-record deal for midfielder Florian Wirtz headlining a group of new signings that also includes forward Hugo Ekitike, left-back Milos Kerkez and right-back Jeremie Frimpong. But they have continued to pursue Isak as they seek a replacement for Darwin Nunez who is closing in on a £46m move to Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal. Asked about Isak on Friday, Slot said: 'As you know, from me and I think every manager works like this, you never talk about players that are not yours. I can talk about Hugo, who we have signed and who has done really well until now. 'We are very happy with the squad and have every reason to be happy because we won the league last season. OK, players left but we brought players in as well and youngsters are doing good. 'At this moment of time, Darwin might leave, indeed, but things are not signed so we need to wait a few days until that is completely done but there is indeed a chance he is going to leave.' Liverpool's spending spree of almost £300m has not included a central defender despite the sale of Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen. During pre-season midfielders Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo, as well as full-backs Andrew Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas, have all filled in. But Slot does not see it as a lack of depth. 'Unfortunately, (Joe Gomez) has a minor injury at the moment but he will be back with the team very soon,' he said. 'We have numerous options who can play there. But as always, it's the same boring answer as players we may bring in or not, I am really happy with the players we have.' Slot is preoccupied with other tasks as well. Liverpool take on FA Cup winners Crystal Palace in the Community Shield on Sunday before beginning their Premier League title defence against Bournemouth at Anfield the following weekend. Liverpool are eyeing a 17th Community Shield title, with their latest coming in 2022. 'It's nice if you can start the season by winning something. We have a chance at the beginning of the season. We face a difficult Crystal Palace side. They have shown how hard it is to win a one-off game with them,' Slot said. And while the focus is on new signings, one player who has grabbed the limelight during pre-season has been 16-year-old winger Rio Ngumoha, who has registered three goals and two assists this summer with some eye-catching efforts – the most recent coming against Athletic Bilbao on Monday. 'That is sometimes also difficult and you never know how an individual handles the situation,' Slot said. 'A year ago, Trey Nyoni scored a goal against Sevilla when he was 17, very young. They have an incredible chance to work and be around players like Virgil van Dijk, Mo Salah and all these incredible players every day and see what they do to be ready to perform every three days … 'It's been a promising start for him and Trey Nyoni because Trey also played a very good game at Anfield four days ago.'

'They want us erased': Weightlifting mother resists plans to ban hijab in French competitive sport
Sylvie Eberena has built her life around sport. A single mother of four and a national champion in her category in Olympic weightlifting, she trains five times a week and competes internationally. But now, the 44 year old fears her athletic career might come to an abrupt halt. A draft law banning the veil in sporting competitions is expected to be voted in at the National Assembly. Backed by President Emmanuel Macron, it was adopted by the Senate in February and would effectively bar Ms Eberena from competing in official events. Speaking to The National in a gym near her home, 60km north-west of Paris, Ms Eberena said the legislation reflects a broader attempt to sideline Muslim women from public life. "They want to erase us, because if people see us they're going to say 'there's no problem'," she said. "If there is a ban, then I will keep practising my sport but I will not be able to show all my progress on the competition floor." Ms Eberena, now one of France's most outspoken critics of the law, converted to Islam in 1999 while studying business. At the time, France had not yet implemented its now-notorious ban on veils in state schools. "My personal journey is very simple. I became a Muslim at 19 on my own," she said, speaking in near-perfect English picked up at business school. "I'm the same person. I still love the same things. I still hate the same things. I just have one thing more that I wear." Supporters of the bill claim it protects secularism and guards against extremism in grassroots sport. But critics, including human rights groups, argue it discriminates against Muslim women and violates their right to freedom of religion, health and access to sports. Sorry I forgot to be oppressed Sylvie Eberena, weightlifting champion France does not collect official data on religion, making it difficult to know how many athletes would be affected. But rights advocates warn the ban will discourage young hijabi women from participating in sports altogether. Personal choice While legislators cited concerns about "radicalisation" in sport in their justification, a year-long 2022 study commissioned by the Sports Ministry contradicted claims that Islamist extremists are prevalent in grassroots sport. The veil has been the subject of repeated restrictions in France and tension intensified when the country barred female athletes from wearing it at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Though Ms Eberena initially encountered little resistance wearing the veil in the corporate world, she now views her earlier optimism as "naïve". Focusing on the hijab, she says, has become a way for politicians to avoid discussing deeper economic and social problems. "As Muslim women wearing the hijab, we are used to this obsession from French governments," she said. After a divorce, Ms Eberena returned to sports – a childhood passion rekindled through CrossFit and weightlifting. Today, she coaches others and shares her love for fitness with her 14-year-old daughter, who has also chosen to wear the hijab. But rising Islamophobia worries her, especially after a fatal stabbing at a mosque in southern France in April. Ms Eberena insists her veil is a personal choice and not imposed by male relatives – a stereotype she says is all too common. "Sorry I forgot to be oppressed," she recently quipped in an Instagram post to her 44,000 followers, overlaid on a video of her training. Yet motivation has become harder to maintain since the Senate approved the bill. Shortly afterwards, she addressed the law publicly. "Will we be banned from breathing soon?" she asked. While she posts mostly about fitness and health, she also raises funds for humanitarian causes linked to Palestine. There is a clear pattern of demonisation of Muslim communities and disregard of Muslim women and girls Monica Costa Riba, Amnesty International In a speech at the Senate, France's Delegate Minister for Gender Equality and Fight against Discriminations, Aurore Berge, defended the law, saying it did not stop women from taking part in sports. Defence of secularism Rather, "it is those who impose on women to have a different outfit from sportswear who do it", she said, in an apparent reference to the Islamic veil. "Freedom is secularism. Secularism is emancipation, in particular the emancipation of women." The ripple effects are already being felt. This year, Ms Eberena said her image was removed from podium photos shared by her sports federation. When she complained, officials reportedly cited political pressure. Though The National has been unable to verify her claims, it mirrors incidents documented by Amnesty International. The organisation has warned secularism is being used "as a pretext to block Muslim women's access to public spaces in France." "So I compete. I'm a performer. I have results and I'm not allowed to appear in pictures," Ms Eberana said. Monica Costa Riba, senior campaigner for women's rights at Amnesty International, told The National there is a pattern of "demonisation of Muslim communities and disregard of Muslim women and girls." "It's linked to high levels of Islamophobia and a toxic narrative put out by certain politicians telling Muslim women what they should and should not wear," she said. "It's very common in France." Questioning Macron The issue gained national prominence in May when Mr Macron was asked about it during a live prime-time TV interview. The question came from Ms Eberena herself. In a video, she warned the law would isolate women who wear the hijab. The French President said he supports banning the veil in competitions, in line with the Olympic Charter, but added that "pragmatism" was needed at federation level – in effect leaving room for them to choose. Yet several federations, including football, basketball and volleyball, have already introduced a ban. Amnesty International has documented cases of clubs losing public funding when trying to push back. Also, arguing that the Olympic Charter bans the veil is hotly contested. While the charter prohibits religious propaganda, it also forbids religious discrimination. France was the only European country to ban the veil at the Olympics last year. In a letter to Amnesty, the International Olympic Committee said while the Olympic Charter states that religious discrimination is banned, athletes also act within their national context, and France considers its elite athletes to be civil servants that must respect the principles of secularism and neutrality. In his answer, Mr Macron "was trying to evade the issue", Ms Eberena said. She remains committed to speaking out and says people see her as someone who is talking for other women who are Muslim or wear the hijab. "That's the reason I'll keep doing it."
