Here are our 2025 Women's Kopa Trophy nominees! ⤵️ Michelle AgyemangLinda CaicedoWieke KapteinVicky LopezClaudia Martinez Ovando#ballondor — Ballon d'Or (@ballondor) August 7, 2025 However, she became a household name at this summer's Euro 2025 after scoring equalisers against Sweden and Italy in the knockout stages of the competition and was named Young Player of the Tournament.

Enzo Maresca shares plan for promising Brazilian teenager following transfer
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has called for restraint from supporters regarding the highly anticipated arrival of Brazilian prodigy Estevao Willian. The 18-year-old's £29 million transfer from Palmeiras was initially agreed in May 2024, but he remained in Brazil for a year, even finding the net against his new club during a Club World Cup encounter in the United States in July. Having netted 27 goals and provided 15 assists across 83 appearances for Palmeiras, Estevao finally completed his move to west London this week. Widely regarded as one of Brazil 's most promising young talents, Maresca is keen to ensure that expectations surrounding Estevao are tempered ahead of the upcoming season. 'We need to pay a little bit more attention, because first of all he's from the other part of the world and also he's very, very young,' he said. 'So we need to pay attention. 'As I said, (he is) not under pressure, give him happiness, give him time, he needs to adapt. Hopefully we can give him minutes, so he's even more happy. But for sure, he's a talented player. 'For me, the biggest mistake we can do with him is to put him under pressure. He's very young, he needs to adapt. 'I met him for the first time in the USA when we played against Palmeiras. He's a fantastic player, he's very young, he's a happy boy. He's always laughing, typical from a Brazilian guy, and we need to keep him happy.' Estevao is one of six summer signings expected to be part of Maresca's squad this season. And with 10 departures it has been another summer of change at the club's Cobham training base. Maresca has previously said he expects players to be able to play in a number of roles and wants at least two players for each position. Nominally a winger, Estevao is likely to be deployed across Chelsea's attacking line. 'He can play everywhere,' said Maresca. 'He's so good. For me, he's like Cole (Palmer), in terms of – careful – he is like Cole in terms of his position. 'He can play outside, he can play inside, he can play everywhere. In our five attacking positions, for me, he can play everywhere.' Maresca confirmed that defender Levi Colwill is a doubt for the start of the new Premier League season. The Blues kick off at home to Crystal Palace on August 17 but after picking up a knock in training the 22-year-old could miss out, possibly opening the door to new defensive signing from Ajax, Jorrel Hato. 'We had a problem the last two days with Levi Colwill, that we don't know how long he is going to be out,' said Maresca. 'So for us, we will see, hopefully not too long, but for sure it's a problem for us. We need to wait, we don't know yet.'

Arsenal have spent over £200million on Gyokeres and Co but still look like one-trick ponies — the pressure is on Arteta
There are precious few signs of Arteta ditching his methodical style of attacking play that has frustrated plans ART OF WAR Arsenal have spent over £200million on Gyokeres and Co but still look like one-trick ponies — the pressure is on Arteta Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BEING pessimistic comes with the territory at Arsenal - more than 20 years without a Premier League trophy has cemented that. When Mikel Arteta arrived in the managerial hotseat in 2019, he was left with the task of turning around a team going nowhere. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Mikel Arteta has completed a host of summer signings and expectations are high Credit: Alamy 6 Arsenal finally have a natural centre-forward in Viktor Gyokeres Credit: Getty 6 But the signing of Noni Madueke from Chelsea has proved less than popular with supporters Credit: Getty 6 There are fears that signings like Christian Norgaard will simply plug gaps in midfield Credit: Alamy Play Dream Team now!

Following the instant FA Cup win, just two Community Shields have followed in the six-years at the Emirates since. Two consecutive seasons in a row finishing second came before this year, as the agonising wait for that first league trophy in two decades rumbles on. Arteta has been handed £200 million to spend already this summer, splashing out the third most behind champions Liverpool and Chelsea. So far, it's been a mixed pre-season for the Gunners, winning twice and losing twice as they prepare for the big kick-off. However, concern is creeping in already amongst a large portion of the Arsenal fanbase over what 2025-26 will bring. The North Londoners were devastated by injury in the second half of last season, being forced to play midfielder Mikel Merino as a striker for months. After that, the owning Kroenke family decided to back their manager, giving him depth from the bench his squad has never had before. But the major concern from pre-season has been the style of play, again, and is it good enough to topple their title-chasing rivals? BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK The squad is clearly talented, the manager is as well, but has the ceiling been reached for what can be achieved between the two? Their summer business seems to have been more reactive to the injury issues than proactive to what they might need to go that one step further and win the league. Viktor Gyokeres is announced at the Emirates for the first time ahead of Villarreal friendly Six players have come in, including a much-needed striker in the form of Viktor Gyokeres for nearly £60m from Sporting Lisbon. Martin Zubimendi also came in alongside Christian Norgaard in the midfield, totally £60m-odd, and Kepa in goal from Chelsea for just £5m. Youngster Cristhian Mosquera was also bought in defence and Noni Madueke was a shock near £50m purchase from rivals Chelsea. Some clever purchases, but is Arteta filling squad gaps rather than diversifying the way Arsenal play for the upcoming season? 6 There are high hopes for Euro 2024 winner Martin Zubimendi Credit: Getty 6 Arsenal were accused of being over-reliant on set pieces last season Credit: PA The notion that Arsenal are a set-piece team is just plain wrong, but there is a fear they have become very one-trick outside of that. They are very methodical in their build-up, creating space through their inverting midfield full-backs and trying to get Bukayo Saka the ball as much as possible. There's not much X-factor though, partly the reason Madueke was purchased in the first place. That was evident in their pre-season home defeat to Villarreal earlier in the week, a disappointing return to the Emirates. You should never take away too much before the season starts, but it was clear Arteta plans to play a very similar way to years gone by. And that has proven they aren't quite good enough to win the Premier League, what makes them think this year is different? The Arsenal boss is under huge pressure to deliver a trophy this year, and it may have to be a major one at that. If the Gunners start the campaign poorly, serious questions are going to be asked by the club's fanbase, and who can blame them? ARSENAL TRANSFER NEWS LIVE: All the latest rumours from the Emirates
