Frankfurt signs Japan winger Ritsu Doan for its Champions League return
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Eintracht Frankfurt has signed Japanese winger Ritsu Doan to strengthen a squad depleted by the sale of Hugo Ekitiké as it prepares to return to the Champions League. Doan joins on a five-year contract from fellow German club Freiburg, where he was top scorer with 10 goals as the team placed fifth in the Bundesliga. 'I'm very happy and honored to be here,' Doan said in a translated video message to Frankfurt fans. 'I can't wait to play in front of the supporters.' Frankfurt is heading back to the Champions League this season after a third-place Bundesliga finish but will have a new-look attack after striker Ekitiké was sold to Liverpool for a fee of 69 million pounds ($93.5 million). The 27-year-old Doan will be expected to team up with another new signing for Ekitiké's center-forward role, ex-Mainz striker Jonathan Burkardt. Doan won the Dutch Cup with PSV Eindhoven in 2022 and has played 57 games for the Japanese national team. That includes all of its games at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and a role in securing qualification for next year's World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Doan could make his Frankfurt debut Aug. 17 in a German Cup game against fifth-tier Engers. Frankfurt's first Bundesliga game of the season is six days later at home to Werder Bremen. ___

Jurgen Klopp Cup Hero has Returned to English Football after £10m Liverpool Exit
Derby County Secure Loan Deal for Bobby Clark Derby County have added another former Liverpool player to their ranks, confirming the season-long loan signing of midfielder Bobby Clark from RB Salzburg. The 20-year-old, who once lifted the Carabao Cup under Jurgen Klopp in 2024, returns to English football seeking regular first-team opportunities in the Championship. Familiar Liverpool Links in Derby's Summer Business John Eustace's side have been active in the market, attracting several players with Anfield connections. Left-back Owen Beck has arrived on loan after an impressive season with Blackburn Rovers, where Eustace also worked. Striker Rhian Brewster has joined on a free transfer from Sheffield United, aiming to revitalise his career after persistent hamstring injuries stalled his progress. Clark now becomes the latest addition, offering creativity and energy in midfield. His move comes after a challenging spell in Austria, where he joined RB Salzburg for £10 million last summer. Despite the promise of the transfer, his time there did not unfold as planned. Photo: IMAGO Bobby Clark's Journey from Liverpool to Derby Clark made his Liverpool debut as a substitute in the remarkable 9-0 victory over Bournemouth in August 2022. Over the next three seasons, he featured 14 times in senior competition, scored once against Sparta Prague in the Europa League, and was part of Klopp's 2024 Carabao Cup-winning squad. However, after assistant coach Pep Lijnders departed RB Salzburg, Clark found himself out of favour. Opportunities became scarce, and he dropped out of matchday squads entirely towards the end of the campaign. The desire for consistent football led him back to England and into Derby County's plans. Clark's Determination to Make an Impact Speaking to RamsTV, Clark expressed his motivation for the move. 'Once I found out Derby were interested, I had a chance to speak with the manager and the staff. With his goals and the way he is aligned with me, it seemed right,' he said. 'I think he [manager John Eustace] knows that I'm at a point where I want to prove people wrong, and I'm hungry to play football again, especially being back in the UK. It's a great league and I just want to kick on here.' Derby County supporters will hope Clark's arrival adds quality and drive to their Championship campaign. For Liverpool fans, it offers another reason to keep a close eye on events at Pride Park, where one of their former prospects is ready to reignite his career.

Thomas Müller ends 17-year Bayern stint with MLS move
Legendary Bayern Munich attacker Thomas Müller has put an end to a lucrative 17-year senior career at Allianz Arena, putting pen to paper on a two-year deal with MLS outfit Vancouver Whitecaps. The German made his debut for the club in 2008 and has since racked up a staggering tally of 250 goals and 276 assists in over 700 games with the Bundesliga giants. In the nearly two decades with Bayern, the 35-year-old won 13 Bundesliga titles, two Champions Leagues, six German Cups, and eight German Supercups. Müller joins a Vancouver side in need of stardust after their red-hot start to the 2025 MLS campaign cooled off significantly in the early months of summer. Speaking after the signing was announced, Whitecaps FC CEO and sporting director Axel Schuster said, "Thomas is a world-class player – the ultimate Raumdeuter; interpreter of space – known for his elite chance creation, unmatched spatial awareness, and relentless off-the-ball movement. "He not only brings a winning pedigree and exceptional football intelligence, but also a tireless work ethic that will elevate the entire team. Thomas is a natural leader whose passion for the game is infectious. "This is a statement signing by our club and our ownership – a transformative moment for our club and our city. We are proud to welcome Thomas to Vancouver." 📸 Alexander Hassenstein - 2022 Getty Images
