That's how we grow and explore." Representing Africa with pride Kanzari has called on his squad to "rise to the occasion" when they face Flamengo, Chelsea and Los Angeles FC in Group D."Representing Esperance, Tunisia and the African continent is a huge responsibility," he told the BBC."We know that the eyes of the fans will be on us, and we will give our utmost to demonstrate a level befitting African football."The four-time African champions will take part for the first time since 2019."Appearing in a tournament of the calibre of the Club World Cup is a dream for every player and coach," Kanzari Ahly, meanwhile, will face Lionel Messi's Inter Miami in the opening match (Sunday, 00:00 GMT) before games against Brazil's Palmeiras and Cairo giants appointed Jose Riveiro shortly after winning their 45th Egyptian title, and have strengthened by signing Egypt forwards Trezeguet and who will miss out on next season's African Champions League after finishing third in the Moroccan league, open up their Group G campaign against Manchester City before facing Juventus and UAE outfit Al Ain.

Rangers-linked star 'set' for transfer to European giants
The former Ballon d'Or winner will leave the Bernabeu after this summer's Club World Cup in the USA. The Croatia captain - who was tentatively linked with a sensational move to Rangers last month - is set to join AC Milan. That's according to Fabrizio Romano, who states that a medical is organised. The transfer guru wrote on X: "Luka Modrić to undergo medical and complete formal steps of AC Milan move after the Club World Cup. "No signature/official steps before that as Modrić wants to focus on Real Madrid at the best level possible until the end." Read more: Modric has nearly 600 appearances to his name for Real, winning a staggering six Champions League trophies in that time since his transfer from Tottenham in 2012. The links with Rangers arose when Davide Ancelotti was believed to be in the running to become the next head coach of the Ibrox club. However, after whittling down their candidates, the Rangers board opted to offer the position to Russel Martin, who has been in the post for a week. Ancelotti has re-joined his dad's backroom staff, now at the Brazil national team.

Arsenal make final decision on Viktor Gyokeres transfer after agent meeting
Arsenal are now set to move quickly to wrap up a deal to sign Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres, according to reports in Portugal. Gyokeres' relationship with Sporting has turned sour this week with the Sweden international now desperate to secure a move away from the Portuguese capital. Arsenal held fresh talks with the striker's agent on Wednesday to discuss a move to bring him to the Emirates. The Gunners have explored moves for both Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko this summer with reports now suggesting the former may now be their prime target. Arsenal officials met with Gyokeres' representative, Hasan Cetinkaya, with A Bola reporting the Premier League side are now ready to move forward with a concrete offer. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. During the meeting, Arsenal discussed terms with Cetinkaya and the fee it will take to sign him with a formal proposal expected 'in the next few hours'. A Bola also claim Arsenal are 'in a hurry' to conclude the deal with Gyokeres also keen on the move to north London. Arsenal must now agree a fee with Sporting with club president Frederico Varandas yesterday accusing Gyokeres' agent of trying to 'threaten and blackmail' the Portuguese champions. Despite having a €100million (£84m) release clause, it has been widely reported Sporting will allow him to leave him for €60m plus €10m in add-ons (£50m plus £8m) this summer, stemming from an apparent agreement between the club and player's representatives last year. Varandas however insisted there was never any agreement over a final number, ruling out the possibility of Gyokeres leaving for that cut price fee. 'One thing you should already know is me better,' Varandas said. 'Threats, blackmail and insults don't work with me. I can guarantee that Viktor Gyokeres will not leave for 60+10 because I never promised him that. More Trending 'This game that the agent is playing only makes the situation worse. [Are there offers for 60 million?] To this day, Sporting has not had an offer for Viktor Gyokeres, neither today nor last season.' Arsenal also remain in talks with RB Leipzig over a move for Sesko. Sporting director Andrea Berta believes a deal can be done for around £75m but so far there has been no major breakthrough. Manchester United and Juventus meanwhile remain interested in the former Coventry City star. Ruben Amorim has been eager for a reunion with his former striker in Manchester but a lack of European football on offer at Old Trafford next season could prove to be a decisive blow to those plans.
