Japans Ritsu Doan shines on Eintracht Frankfurt debut in German Cup
Berlin, Aug 17 (AP) Japan forward Ritsu Doan scored twice on his Eintracht Frankfurt debut in a 5-0 win at fifth-tier FV Engers in the first round of the German Cup on Sunday. The underdogs managed to hold Dino Toppmöller's team for most of the first half until Jean-Matteo Bahoya and Doan scored in quick succession before the break. Doan scored again after it, and Elye Wahi and Paxten Aaronson both scored late to complete the rout. Doan joined Frankfurt 10 days ago from Bundesliga rival Freiburg, his arrival compensating for Hugo Ekitiké's sale to Liverpool. Frankfurt was without Mario Götze, who is still working his way back from injury, and goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, who is expected to join Paris FC following its promotion to the top division in France. Frankfurt is expected to sign Michael Zetterer from Werder Bremen as Trapp's replacement. Zetterer cried as he appeared to bid Bremen fans farewell following the team's loss at Arminia Bielefeld on Friday. Frankfurt starts its Bundesliga campaign against Bremen on Aug. 23. Also Sunday, second-division club Paderborn defeated third-tier Viktoria Cologne 3-1. Borussia Mönchengladbach faced fifth-tier Atlas Delmenhorst and Schalke was visiting Lokomotiv Leipzig among the other games to be played later.

Manchester United vs Arsenal Live Score, Premier League: Arteta's Arsenal take on Amorim's United to start new season
Manchester United FC vs Arsenal FC Live Score Updates, Premier League: Arsenal and Manchester United go head to head in the first big ticket clash of the new Premier League season with both sides desperate to get their campaigns on the right foot. Arsenal have been the most consistent team in the last 3 years, finishing as runners-up in all the previous 3 editions. They, however, are pretty short on the silverware count since Mikel Arteta took over in 2019 with just one FA Cup to show. With the Gunners finally signing a proper No.9 in Viktor Gyokeres, the pressure will be on Arteta to deliver this year United under Ruben Amorim, meanwhile, will be looking to arrest the slide they are on since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2012. Since then, United have played hosts to a revolving door of coaches who have failed to spark them to life. Last season, they finished a lowly 15, their worst since the advent of the Premier League era. Super 6: How Arsenal's six recent transfers might finally take them to the promised land L-R: Viktor Gyokeres and Martin Zubimendi are two of the six new major signings by Arsenal. (Credit: Arsenal Media) 'I always want to score,' might sound like a relatively run of the mill quote from new Arsenal signing Viktor Gyokeres but it might be a warning shot by the Gunners to the Premier League as they get set for another crack at winning the elusive league title as well as Champions League silverware. At long last, they have a No.9, the first out and out striker since 2022 when they brought in Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City. After that signing underwhelmed, Arsenal had to do with playing Kai Havertz and Mikel Merino up front, which severely limited their goal scoring chances. The Gunners are currently on a warpath in the transfer market, already signing 6 players before July has even ended. The closest they got to this transfer spree was back in the 2022/23 season when they snapped up Fabio Viera, Marquinhos, Matt Turner, Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko. That year was supposed to be their season but they finished second in the league.

Nick Woltemade Transfer: Claudio Pizarro Explains Why Bayern Munich After After 'Special' Stuttgart Forward
The Nick Woltemade to Bayern Munich transfer rumours might be progressing with the same steam but there's still some room left before the deal can be called 'dead'. Though Bayern aren't willing to match Stuttgart's asking price for the young striker, things can change before the transfer window concludes. While Bayern's interest in the young German is concrete, some critics haven't managed to wrap their heads around the extravagant interest from the Bundesliga champions. Before the start of the German Super Cup in Stuttgart, former Bayern striker Claudio Pizarro was asked about what makes Woltemade such an interesting player for Bayern. Pizarro is one of the top-scoring players in Bundesliga history, spent the finest period of his career with Bayern. Being a Peruvian in the Bundesliga, Pizarro is well aware of the dearth of traditional No. 9s in Germany. Seeing Woltemade who incredible promise, Pizarro knew that Bayern would not want to miss out on the opportunity of signing such a talent. "First for Bayern that he's German, of course, when a German player is doing well then Bayern is like okay the satellites are on. I know him really well, I played with him when he was 17 in Bremen and I could see how he improved and I think that's something special. He was learning a lot in the first year and then suddenly last year he did a great job and I think there's still space that he can learn more for that, so I think he's a good player," Pizarro said. When asked about the lack of top quality strikers in Germany in recent times, Pizarro sees a potential in Woltemade that can finally bridge this gap. "We see the history, the German strikers were always tough, big guys scoring a lot of goals and in the last years you didn't see that much, so I think it's going to be something special to get a player like that again in the German team. He has to learn still because he's really big, but sometimes he doesn't use his body like he used to or score many goals with the head, but as I said, he still needs a little bit of time to improve in some things, but I think he's a great player," Pizarro
