Marcus Rashford scores his first goal for Barcelona with cool finish as Spanish side thrash Daegu 5-0
has got off the mark for Barcelona, scoring in Monday's 5-0 friendly win over South Korean side Daegu. The English star joined the LaLiga giants on a season-long loan from Man United two weeks ago with the club having with an option of signing him on a permanent basis for £30.3m at the end of the season. He made his debut in the 3-1 win over Vissel Kobe days later before grabbing his first assist in the 7-3 triumph over Seoul. And he now has his first goal for his new club, producing a cool finish in the second half against Daegu after being teed up by Eric Garcia. The Spanish full-back picked up the ball on the right hand side of the area before squaring it to Rashford, who swept it first time into the bottom right corner. Gavi bagged a brace on the day while Robert Lewandowski and Toni Fernandez also got themselves on the scoresheet. Speaking at his unveiling as a Barcelona player, Rashford expressed his excitement at signing for the Spanish giants and said it will be a 'joy' to play for the club. 'I am very excited, I think it's a club where people's dreams come true,' Rashford said. 'What the club stands for means a lot to me as well and it feels like I'm at home, and this is a big factor in my choice. It's a family club people are comfortable here and it's a good place for people to show their skills. 'I try to make decisive actions and fast dynamic plays and I always like good football so I've always been a fan of watching Barcelona from a young age. 'It's going to be a joy for me to play here and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it.' 'I am definitely full of excitement and hunger to go out and try an help the team win. 'They won so much last year and I can see the ambition is to do better than last year. 'As a player that's what you want to hear, it keeps you improving year on year and that's what you need to be the best version of yourself.'

Tottenham fans will only appreciate me when I am gone, says Daniel Levy
The Tottenham chair, Daniel Levy, believes he will get credit for his time in charge only when he leaves and is confident Thomas Frank can help the club to 'compete at the highest level'. In a rare interview, Levy described the construction of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as his 'greatest achievement' and hit back at fans who have blamed him for the club's failure to win more trophies. 'I think it's one of those situations [in which] when I'm not here I'm sure I'll get the credit,' Levy told Gary Neville on his Overlap podcast. 'This stadium is a symbol of Tottenham Hotspur on the global map. I think it's fantastic for the local community – the employment that we're creating because of this stadium. 'The fact that other clubs are now trying to copy what we're doing, that should be a sign that maybe we did do something bold, and something right.' The Europa League triumph last season was Tottenham's first trophy since 2008 and came just before the end of a Premier League campaign in which they finished 17th after a record 22 defeats. Levy sacked Ange Postecoglou 16 days after the victory against Manchester United in the final in Bilbao and he is hopeful that Frank can help the club to challenge for trophies on a more consistent basis. 'Whenever you appoint a coach, you always believe it's right,' Levy said. 'You need a lot of ingredients for it to be right. Thomas is a highly intelligent individual, a fantastic way about him in terms of communication. I think he will be great at both developing young players and older players and making them better. He gets the style of football we want to play. He understands that Rome wasn't built in a day. We haven't said to him: 'You've got to win the league this year.' We just want to compete at the highest level.' Levy was critical of the Premier League for the time it has taken to conclude the case involving alleged breaches of the league's regulations by Manchester City. The club, who deny wrongdoing, were charged with more than 130 breaches in February 2023. 'I think it would be really unfair of me to talk about another club in the Premier League,' Levy said. 'All I would say is that it's going through a process which I think has gone on for far too long. It needs to be brought, for the good of the game, to a conclusion one way or another.'

Everton push again for Dibling with £40m offer and target Chelsea's Dewsbury-Hall
Everton have raised their bid for Tyler Dibling to about £40m and opened talks with Chelsea over signing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall as they attempt to ease David Moyes's transfer frustrations. Southampton have rejected two offers from Everton for the 19-year-old Dibling in recent days, of £27m and £35m, but the Merseyside club have returned with a third package worth iabout £40m including add-ons. The England Under-21 international, who is believed to be open to joining Everton, has two years on his contract and Southampton value him at more than £40m. Moyes has missed out on several wide options this summer, including Francisco Conceição, who joined Juventus from Porto, and RB Leipzig's recent signing from PSV, Johan Bakayoko. Everton also have interest in Lyon's Malick Fofana but the 20-year-old would prefer to join a club offering Champions League football. The Everton manager also wants to strengthen in central midfield and Dewsbury-Hall is a longstanding target. The 26-year-old started only two Premier League games last season after his £30m arrival from Leicester and was deployed more often in Chelsea's Conference League campaign. Everton have opened talks over a permanent deal, with Chelsea looking to recoup their outlay. Everton have completed four signings this summer – Carlos Alcaraz, the striker Thierno Barry, goalkeeper Mark Travers and young left back Adam Aznou – but 11 players have left, including nine members of last season's first-team squad.
