Bayer Leverkusen battle Bournemouth for Sevilla's Loïc Badé
Kicker reports that Bayer Leverkusen have agreed to personal terms with transfer target Loïc Badé. The German publication reports that the French international is very keen on moving to the Bundesliga. There's still a potential snag. Badé's La Liga outfit have also received a €30m offer for the centre-back from Bournemouth. Such news counts as something of a bombshell as Leverkusen are currently debating whether or not to allow Bournemouth to purchase their own attacker Amine Adli. Germany's red company team wants at least €30m for Adli. Everything can either fall into place neatly or completely fall apart. Badé receives the chance to play Champions League football with Leverkusen and further enhance his French national team prospects. The 25-year-old actually earned his first French senior team cap against Germany in a June Nations League fixture. Leverkusen got the start of competitive play in the 2025/26 rolling with a 0-4 away win against SG Sonnenhof Großaspach in the opening round of the DFB Pokal on Friday night. New B04 head coach Erik ten Hag has been running a 3-4-3 system that already features three qualified centre-backs. Leverkusen still need a squad far larger than 25 players to compete internationally. GGFN | Peter Weis

Sky Sports pundit ‘amazed' Eze is still at Crystal Palace – and says Spurs should go all out for the ‘world class' attacker
Sky Sports pundit and former Tottenham and Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp says he is 'amazed' that Ebere Eze is still at Crystal Palace. Tottenham are in talks to sign the attacking midfielder, but he was included in the Palace squad to face Chelsea on Sunday despite reports he was set to be left out while negotiations with Spurs are ongoing. Arsenal have also been keen on the 27-year-old, though it appears their north London rivals are leading the race to sign him. And speaking to Hayters TV at Sky Sports' launch event for the new Premier League season, Redknapp says Spurs should commit to spending big on Eze. 'You've lost James Maddison so when they played against PSG, there were predominantly three defensive midfield players,' he explained. 'They need someone that's going to be able to unlock the door. If they were to get maybe Eze, I think he'd be magnificent. 'I'm still amazed that he's not left Crystal Palace and someone hasn't paid up. Whether it's Arsenal, whether it's Tottenham. He is a world-class player. He's so talented. I'm amazed that nobody has gone and spent the money on him. 'They wouldn't regret it because he's got that lovely confidence when he plays. He's one of the best players to watch and I think he could play for any side in the world.' Spurs got their new Premier League campaign off to a winning start under boss Thomas Frank and Redknapp, who spent three years at Tottenham, has backed him to improve the side, though says patience will be important too. 'They couldn't be less competitive,' he said. 'They were really disappointing. 'I watched the game on Wednesday night and I thought they were brilliant against PSG. They were aggressive, they were fast, they got after them, they were very well organised. A lot of the things that we didn't see last year with defensive set-pieces and attacking set-pieces. 'So Thomas Frank will do a really good job there. He's a good guy, he knows what he's doing, but I think you still have to be a bit patient here. I think there's a lot to do.'

Nelly Korda Sounds Alarm as Catfishing Scam Targets Fans, Female Golfers
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Over the past five years, LPGA players have repeatedly raised their voices against a disturbing trend of catfishing scams that impersonate female golfers, lure fans into fake relationships and drain them of thousands of dollars. Despite public warnings, the scams persist. And now, they've pushed former world No. 1 Nelly Korda to speak out with urgency. TROON, SCOTLAND - JULY 27: Nelly Korda of the United States looks across the 10th green during the final round of the ISPS HANDA Women's Scottish Open 2025 at Dundonald Links Golf Course on July... TROON, SCOTLAND - JULY 27: Nelly Korda of the United States looks across the 10th green during the final round of the ISPS HANDA Women's Scottish Open 2025 at Dundonald Links Golf Course on July 27, 2025 in Troon, Scotland. (Photo by) More The latest eye-opening moment came from The Athletic, which created a fictitious Instagram account under the name Rodney Raclette, a 62-year-old Indiana native and self-proclaimed LPGA superfan. Within 20 minutes of following a few verified accounts, Rodney received a message from what appeared to be Nelly Korda herself. "Hi, handsomeface, I know this is like a dream to you. Thank you for being a fan," read the DM from @nellykordaofficialfanspage2, per report. Of course, it wasn't Korda. And Rodney doesn't exist. But the scam was all too real. In the real world, a fake account impersonates a golfer, initiates contact, then quickly shifts the conversation to Telegram or WhatsApp. From there, the scammer offers exclusive perks, VIP access, autographed gear, and even romantic promises in exchange for untraceable payments via cryptocurrency or gift cards. Once the money stops, the scammer vanishes. This forced Korda to raise her voice. "It's been taken out of my hands being able to communicate freely with fans," Korda told The Athletic. "Because I don't really know their intentions." Korda has pinned a warning to the top of her Instagram profile, but the scams are evolving faster than she can report them. She says she used to flag 20 fake accounts per day. Now, they multiply by the hour. "You're just put into a situation you really don't want to be in," she said as quoted by The Athletic. "You feel bad, you feel guilty for people going through this. It's the last thing you want. It's not only putting the players in danger, in a sense, but it's putting all the fans in danger." This is not the end, though. In one case, a Pennsylvania man drove four hours to Liberty National Golf Club believing he had a VIP dinner planned with Rose Zhang. He had sent her $70,000 over a year. Zhang's agent had to break the news that it wasn't her and that he had been scammed. Even The Athletic's fictional fan made up for the story was asked for ID and offered a "Fan Membership Card" for $700. When he hesitated, the fake Korda threatened to end the conversation until she sent an AI-generated video of the real Korda, altered to address him by name. Security experts say the scams are difficult to trace and nearly impossible to prosecute. Most perpetrators operate overseas, and the FBI rarely intervenes unless the financial loss crosses a high threshold. All said, the problem persists. The day after Rodney's account was created, the scam page that messaged him was deleted. When Rodney emailed the fake Korda to ask why, she replied, "I deactivated the account because of imposters, and the FBI are working on catching them." That, too, was a lie.
