Sheffield Wednesday players release statement amid club's financial turmoil
Sheffield Wednesday players have issued a statement saying that they are 'extremely concerned' at the lack of clarity around the club's financial situation. Players and staff at the Championship club have had to deal with late wage payments for three months in a row as a consequence of the club's financial issues, with the players deciding to withdraw from a planned friendly against Burnley last week. Wednesday have previously been placed under transfer embargo for payments owed to HMRC, while the EFL imposed ' a three-window fee restriction after exceeding 30 days of late payments between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2025'. And the statement from the members of the squad highlighted how 'players and staff are now feeling real, practical impacts in their professional and personal lives', adding that they want to make sure that 'decisions taken like the one not to play at Burnley are avoided in the future'. 'As has been well publicised, players, coaching and club staff groups at the club have all been impacted by delayed and overdue payment of salaries,' began the statement. 'This has been a worrying time for us as players but, whist we are often the ones in the spotlight, we are not the only ones involved. We stand together in support with all our colleagues employed by the club who have been affected. 'The decision taken by the players to withdraw from the planned friendly with Burnley was not taken lightly or without consideration. We are fully aware of the added concern this will have caused supporters but trust there is a real understanding of the difficult position we have been put in,' it added. Naturally, the decision to not play the match against Burnley has led to concerns as to what action the players could take as the league season gets underway, with the Owls set to face Leicester City in their first match of the new Championship season. But the players explained that they 'want to reassure fans that there has not been, and will not be, any 'downing of tools' by any of us on the training ground, and we are all working as hard as we can'. 'However, we, like you, want our focus to be fully on what happens on the pitch and the new season ahead. This is proving to be really challenging and we have made it clear to the club that we want this situation to be addressed as soon as possible so decisions taken like the one not to play at Burnley are avoided in the future. We can then all move forward together as a club,' it added. The Owls's pre-season preparations have been thrown into chaos with the transfer embargo, the departure of Danny Rohl and the closure of the North Stand at Hillsborough, and there are doubts over whether they will be able to fulfil their first game of the season. That match comes against Leicester on Sunday, 10 August, with fans planning a protest against owner Dejphon Chansiri, who is under mounting pressure to sell the club.

Arsenal to make significant loss as they begin talks to sell £35m flop
Arsenal are reportedly in talks to sell off an unwanted player, with Mikel Arteta prepared to take a major loss on the £35million flop. After three consecutive runner-up finishes in the Premier League, Arsenal are going all out this summer transfer window in an attempt to end their two-decade long wait for a league title. So far the Gunners have spent just shy of £200m on six new players, including Martin Zubimendi, Viktor Gyokeres and Noni Madueke. More could arrive at the Emirates before deadline day, with the likes of Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze and Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet linked. But in order to pursue these deals, Arsenal need to cash-in on several unwanted stars who have failed to make the grade under Arteta. In The Mixer: Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every week – click here and sign up before Friday to make sure you don't miss the first edition. This includes Fabio Vieira, who was tipped for big things when he signed from Porto three years ago but has since made just five Premier League starts. Injuries, the form of Martin Odegaard and the emergence of Ethan Nwaneri, saw the attacking midfielder slip down the pecking order, and he was sent back to Porto on loan last season. But despite making 42 appearances across all competitions, the Portuguese giants have opted not to re-sign the 25-year-old. The midfielder did not go on Arsenal's pre-season tour of Asia due to his participation at the Club World Cup with Porto earlier this summer, but it has long been know that his future is not in north London. However, Vieira has now been offered an escape route, with The Athletic reporting that Stuttgart have approached Arsenal and are working on a deal for the player. Appearances: 49 Goals: 3 Assists: 10 Trophies: Community Shield (2023) Vieira has two years left on his contract and it has been previously reported that Arsenal would be willing to accept an offer of around £17m – half what they signed the Portuguese for. More Trending Stuttgart finished ninth in the Bundesliga last season but can offer Europa League football after winning the German Cup. Now back from their Asia tour, Arsenal have two more pre-season friendlies, where Vieira's involvement or lack thereof could confirm the transfer speculation. The Gunners take on Villarreal on Wednesday and Athletic Bilbao on Sunday – both at the Emirates – before kicking-off the new Premier League campaign away to Manchester United on August 17.

Head coach Regis Le Bris signs new long-term deal with Sunderland
Sunderland head coach Regis Le Bris has signed a new long-term contract until summer 2028. The 49-year-old Frenchman was appointed as Black Cats boss in June 2024 following his departure from Lorient. Le Bris led Sunderland to promotion in his first campaign at the helm, a 2-1 win over Sheffield United in the Championship play-off final in May marking the club's return to the Premier League after an eight-year absence. Sunderland AFC is delighted to announce that Régis Le Bris has signed a new long-term contract at the Club! ❤️ — Sunderland AFC (@SunderlandAFC) August 4, 2025 'The connection I have with the staff, players, and supporters has been natural, and we shared many great moments together,' said Le Bris, whose side open their 2025-26 campaign at home to West Ham on August 16. 'The collective ambition is there to see and now, there is a desire to become stronger. I can feel the energy and intent to push forward, and we need that in the next challenges we will face. 'In every part of the organisation, everyone has their own part to play, and we are all aligned.' Sunderland finished fourth in the Championship last term before earning a dramatic play-off semi-final victory over Coventry to seal their spot at Wembley, where Tommy Watson's winner sent the Black Cats back into the top flight. The club have since been busy over the summer transfer window with eight new signings arriving on Wearside, including former Arsenal and Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Granit Xhaka. Sporting director Kristjaan Speakman said: 'Like every Sunderland supporter, I'm delighted we are announcing this contract extension for Regis. 'It provides clarity going into the Premier League season, but more importantly it recognises his contribution and continued commitment to the club. 'Regis has an unrelenting desire for progression that matches our own and we look forward to continuing our partnership throughout the upcoming season, as we move forward with aligned objectives that reflect our shared ambition.'
