Anderlecht target talented young Rosenborg winger
HLN are reporting that Anderlecht are targeting young Rosenborg winger Marius Broholm. The 20-year-old made his debut for the side at the age of 17 and currently has a contract until the end of the 2026 season. Anderlecht are said to have already scouted Broholm extensively and are now wanting to make a move for the winger.
The Norwegian league has only just begun, yet Broholm has already made his mark. The winger has scored once and provided an assist during the opening three matches. Rosenborg were once one of the premier sides in the league but have seen their title challenges waiver in past seasons. During the 2024 season the side finished fourth, having been as low as ninth during the 2023 campaign.

Broholm was not with the side for the 2023 season. Instead he was loaned out to then second tier side Kristiansund. In 28 games for the side he scored seven goals, with the club finishing fourth and being promoted via the play-offs. Broholm returned to his parent club for the 2024 campaign and was a standout player. In 29 games he scored eight goals for the club. He is also a full international for the Norwegian U21 side.

After suffering a fractured leg on the eve of Manchester City's 24/25 campaign, the Norwegian international only made 4 appearances in all competitions last season. He also played one game for Manchester City's EDS side. Bobb will be hoping that the FIFA Club World Cup can be a springboard for him to set himself up for the 25/26 season. But will Oscar Bobb be a Manchester City player for next season? Esteemed Kompany sources have discovered that a host of Premier League clubs have an interest in signing Bobb on loan for next season. Despite this, it is hard to see Manchester City sanctioning a loan move for Oscar Bobb given his homegrown status and obvious talent and potential.

Esteemed Kompany sources have learned that five Premier League clubs have an interest in signing Oscar Bobb on loan for next season.

New Angel City coach Alex Straus sees communication as key to building winning culture
New Angel City coach Alex Straus said he values strong communication with players as he pushes to succeed. (Al Seib/For The Times) Alexander Straus was fewer than two weeks from his first training session as Angel City FC coach. Yet, Angel City president and co-founder Julie Uhrman wanted to see her new manager at work. She flew to Portugal, where Straus was completing his three-season stint as FC Bayern Munich coach — a club the 49-year-old Norwegian led to three consecutive Frauen-Bundesliga titles and a 57-7-2 league record. Advertisement As Uhrman watched Straus coach Bayern Munich at the inaugural World Sevens Football tournament, she already was familiar with his technical acumen that was on display en route to a championship victory over Manchester United. That was not a surprise. But what caught Uhrman's attention was Straus' relationships with his players. Angel City coach Alex Straus speaks to reporters during his first news conference while club president and co-founder Julie Uhrman looks on and laughs Wednesday in Thousand Oaks. (Al Seib/For The Times) 'What I saw was something that you don't get in an interview process and you don't read on the [curriculum vitae,]' Uhrman said. 'The connection he had with his teams was palpable. The way that they would celebrate him, the joy that they brought him, and vice versa, was just something you can't learn in an interview process and it's something that's so critical to Angel City.' Advertisement So, when Straus, reserved and quiet until he opened his mouth, began to speak during his introductory news conference Wednesday morning as the third Angel City head coach in four seasons since inception — with Uhrman and sporting director Mark Parsons bookending him at the podium — he leaned on his beliefs. How Straus wants Angel City to play on the pitch, is the same as how he wants to interact with his players in the locker room — and the state-of-the-art performance center on Cal Lutheran University's campus. 'My philosophy is centered around people,' said Straus, who asked the media to 'bear with' his English after spending four years in Germany. 'I'm here to facilitate for our players to be able to go out on a pitch, have a clear plan and know how to execute it.'

So how can I get the best out of Sarah Gorden or Christen Press or Riley Tiernan or Alyssa Thompson? How can I get the best out of them?' Earlier in his career, Straus said he overly cared about trophies, medals and success. In 2018, he said his worldview shifted. Straus — who said he considered previous coaching opportunities in America, but didn't feel the timing was right — realized he needed to craft bonds and relationships with his players to cultivate a positive team culture, one that could lead to championships. Uhrman saw the bonds on display in Portugal while Straus was still with Bayern Munich and Parsons has watched the baby steps Straus is taking with Angel City in his first few days as official coach. 'Through this process, Meeting 1 to Meeting 3, I just didn't think this person existed,' Parsons said, adding that during the coaching search he spoke to Straus' former players and staff. 'I really mean that I didn't believe this type of quality existed, and I couldn't be happier that we've got him here.' Advertisement Read more: Not done yet: Christen Press embracing her role as Angel City's elder stateswoman What stood out to Parsons, he said, was that even players who didn't play much under Straus — who may have left for better opportunities — would still speak positively about the clarity, confidence that Angel City's new coach provided them. Straus — and the Angel City backroom staff — are well aware that winning isn't an overnight process. The club sits in seventh place in NWSL standings with a 4-2-4 record. In some matches, Angel City has exerted control and played the style Parsons said he wants to see asserted. But in other matches, such as recent defeats to Bay FC and Racing Louisville, Angel City has faltered — often losing despite controlling possession. Uhrman stressed she wanted a coach who could help the team bounce back from defeat, or setbacks. She and Parsons believe Straus can do that. He doesn't take falling short lightly. When pushed on his UEFA Women's Champions League record since 2022 on Wednesday during a side media session, Straus spent six-and-a-half minutes breaking down why Bayern Munich fell short in the quarterfinals or group stages, adding what he learned from each losing experience. Advertisement Straus said he's always open to talking. Angel City players, however, will have only a few more days to get to know the new coach before Straus takes the touchline Saturday at BMO Stadium against the Chicago Stars. 'One thing is to win one year, one game,' Straus said. "But it needs to be consistent, and it needs to be built on a foundation where you are always the ones that have been spoken about when it comes to challenging for winning the championship.
