'He will have opportunities' - Mike Dodds praises Wycombe's record signing
Wycombe Wanderers head coach Mike Dodd has praised the attitude of record signing Magnus Westergaard, as he continues to adapt to English football. The 27-year-old, who joined the Chairboys from Danish side Viborg in January for fee close to £1 million, has played two of the club's three games this season, starting on both occasions. These were in the opening day 2-1 away league loss against Bradford City, where he played 81 minutes, and in the 1-0 away league cup victory at Leyton Orient 10 days later. In the latter, he featured for the whole 90 minutes – the first time he has done this since joining Wanderers. It was only his 10th appearance for Wycombe since his unveiling earlier this year, and Dodds believes he will have 'opportunities' to show off his talents at Adams Park this season. Westergaard is a box-to-box midfielder whose main attributes include his strength and reading of the game. Speaking after the victory against Orient on August 12, Dodds said: 'I have had this conversation with Mags because he had a difficult period last season. 'He came into a squad that was so big, it was performing to a point, he then picked up a serious injury, returned from his injury and then picked up an illness. 'It was a clunky period for him. 'I have a good relationship with myself as we speak quite often. 'With him, I have never questioned his technical ability, as it was mainly his physicality and ability to show us what he can show us in particular. 'The last 20 minutes in particular, he looked so strong and powerful. 'I have had open and honest chats with Mags, as League One is a very powerful league because if he does that side of the game, he will have opportunities at this football club. 'He has answered most of those questions, and when we go through the clips, there will, of course, be things to iron out. 'Overall, I like Mags as a guy and a footballer, and we'll see as the door is open for him.'

PSG begin French title defence as Pogba returns home and Paris FC step up
Paris Saint-Germain will be hoping a severely curtailed summer break does not come back to bite them as the Ligue 1 season begins this weekend, headlined by the newly-crowned European champions and featuring the return to France of Paul Pogba. It is just the second time that the French top flight has boasted the Champions League winners among its ranks, with PSG's success against Inter Milan in May following Marseille's triumph in 1993. Luis Enrique's team added the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday as they came from two goals down against Tottenham before winning on penalties. The nature of that success was made all the more remarkable given they had just a week's pre-season training under their belts, and no friendly matches. That is after they went all the way to the Club World Cup final in the United States, their 3-0 defeat against Chelsea on July 13 bringing the curtain down on a marathon 65-game season. That did not take the shine off their achievement in winning the Champions League, but those exertions risk having an impact on Luis Enrique's players further down the line. "What we did last season had been the objective for all PSG supporters, for the whole club, and for everyone who played for the club," PSG's coach said this week. "Now we want to keep on making history, and that means winning consecutive Champions Leagues, so that is our objective. That is the dream." Put another way, continued European success is the priority over winning a 12th domestic title in 14 years. PSG are nevertheless overwhelming favourites to do that as they attack the season having added goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier from Lille to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma, and Ukrainian centre-back Illia Zabarnyi from Bournemouth. - Lyon back from brink - French football has been mired in crisis due to difficulties finding a domestic broadcast partner willing to offer the kind of money needed to help teams beyond PSG compete with their European counterparts. At the end of last season, the French league pulled the plug on a cut-price deal with streaming platform DAZN. Instead it has launched its own platform, a bold step which may succeed in the long run but for now means clubs have no guaranteed television income. Seven-time champions Lyon's woes almost led to them being relegated -- they were initially demoted to Ligue 2 by French football's financial watchdog before successfully appealing that punishment. However, they were told they would have to cut their wage bill and transfer budget for this campaign and the future still looks uncertain -- key players such as Rayan Cherki, Alexandre Lacazette and goalkeeper Lucas Perri have all departed. Marseille and Monaco completed the podium in Ligue 1 last season and surely have the best chance of challenging PSG this time. Monaco have signed Pogba on a two-year deal, giving the 2018 World Cup winner a chance to revive a career that has been stalled by injury and an 18-month doping ban. - Capital derby returns - Pogba is now 32 and has hardly played in three years, but Monaco are hopeful he can help them make a real push at the top of the table. "The next step for us is to have a team that is mentally stronger, that really believes it can go far in the Champions League and challenge Paris," said Monaco CEO Thiago Scuro. Pogba has never previously played in France having left Le Havre for Manchester United as a teenager. Fellow 2018 World Cup winner Olivier Giroud, meanwhile, has returned to Ligue 1 aged 38 to join Lille. It remains to be seen what impact he might have, and whether Paris FC can feature prominently following promotion. They have big ambitions after a takeover last year by the Arnaults, one of the world's wealthiest families. It is the first time since 1990 that two Parisian teams have featured in the top flight, and the rivalry between them will be stoked by the fact Paris FC will play home games at the Stade Jean-Bouin -- a stone's throw from PSG's Parc des Princes. Paris FC have already invested significant sums in the transfer market but will probably have to wait before seriously challenging their neighbours. "Everyone is eagerly looking forward to the derbies, but we know very well that the gulf between us is huge. They are on another planet," said Paris FC president Pierre Ferracci. as/pi

INSANE transfer chain ends with Alexander Isak joining Liverpool
An absolutely ridiculous transfer chain should end with Alexander Isak joining Liverpool. Watch this space. Liverpool want to sign Alexander Isak. The player, too, wants to head to Anfield but Newcastle United are really hoping to win this transfer battle. They don't want to lose their star player, even if the Reds are willing to put up a record-breaking amount of money. Isak is essentially irreplaceable and no amount of money will improve on him. LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! But when a player pushes like this, it's incredibly difficult to hold onto him. Especially when he's threatening to never play for the team again. Newcastle will feel all the pressure imaginable to sell - though, there's one reason a deal simply can't go through yet. While the Magpies won't replace Isak with a player of similar quality, they still need a striker. Callum Wilson also left Newcastle this summer, after all, leaving them particularly short. But perhaps that will soon change. Alexander Isak at the end of the chain Ben Jacobs reports that Bournemouth are now closing in on a deal for Amine Adli from Bayer Leverkusen. So what does that have to do with Isak and Liverpool? Well, if that goes through, Brentford can sign the Cherries' Dango Outtara. Again, that doesn't appear to have too much to do with Liverpool but that one would allow for Yoane Wissa to sign for Newcastle. With that, the Magpies would have a striker to actually play for them. Losing Isak is suddenly a lot more palatable - potentially enough for a deal to actually go through.
