Aston Villa boss Emery confirms interest in Villarreal star
Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery has confirmed that his side are interested in bringing in Villarreal star Juan Foyth before the month is out.
The name of defender Foyth has of course positioned itself front and centre in the media chatter in Spain and England alike over the course of recent days.
This comes after word was forthcoming that, after missing out on a deal for Sevilla standout Loïc Badé, the aforementioned Aston Villa had turned attentions towards the Argentine.
Speaking to the media in the aftermath of his side's 1-1 draw with West Ham United on Sunday, it therefore came as little surprise when the subject of Foyth's potential arrival was put to Unai Emery himself.
And the Spanish tactician was not shy in confirming his hopes of reuniting with the talented stopper, following their time spent together at Villarreal:
'Of course, I know Juan Foyth because I know him and one player with his quality, he can play with the performance we want to add to the squad.'

How the Giants' social-media team, online sports space trailblazers, keep and grow audience
Always on the go, bouncing from platform to platform, the San Francisco Giants ' social-media department is a little bit of everything, a creative whirl constantly keeping fans informed and entertained. For a discipline so relatively new, though, the Giants' social-media team is borderline venerable. It was among the first in pro sports to jump into interactive spaces on the internet and has a trail of defunct or obsolete sites to prove it: Giants Tumblr. Vine. Foursquare check-ins. 'We put Lou Seal on MySpace as a rogue,' Giants vice president of brand development and digital media Bryan Srabian said. 'MLB quickly shut that down.' Srabian started off as a one-man online band in 2010 after the team realized that several departments had social media accounts but nothing that represented the Giants as a team. MLB signed off on a test run. 'We knew we needed to be on social media because Twitter is down the street and our fans were maybe more tech-savvy than some,' Srabian said. 'We really were the first team, so I was tasked with kind of figuring out: what does that mean? 'It was a fun period of people making their brands seem fun. I felt like, 'Well, this is the next generation of connection to the team — and maybe their first connection is through social media.'' The Giants joined Twitter, then Facebook and Instagram. 'I think there were five people working at Instagram at the time,' Srabian said. 'It was a lot of trial and error, but there was this feeling of you don't want to miss out because the early adopters saw a lot more success.' It didn't hurt that the Giants were beginning their run of three titles in five years at the same time. With fan engagement skyrocketing — Twitter's Jack Dorsey attended the Giants' first tweetup — and sponsors requesting cross-promotions on the team's official accounts, the social-media department doubled in size by 2013 — to two people. Now Srabian runs a department of seven that flourishes on a dozen platforms, including X, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and SnapChat. The Giants' social-media team is behind the scenes at every home game and almost every road game, providing video snippets and packages, interviews, news, the occasional meme and — now and then — ticket discounts. View this post on Instagram A post shared by San Francisco Giants (@sfgiants) 'We've moved beyond the point where it's a luxury — it's beyond that,' Srabian said. 'It's a necessity.' Teams don't just generate interest and resulting ticket and merchandise sales via social media, they also collect valuable data that helps to tailor ads and offers to individual fans, and the reach is international. For Spanish-speaking fans, the Giants have three Gigantes accounts, and Jung Hoo Lee 's interpreter, Justin Han, helps with social media posts for the Korean audience. @sfgiants Follow Jung Hoo Lee around for a day in the life at Spring Training #MLB #Baseball #DITL ♬ original sound - San Francisco Giants The department's work spans marketing, community relations and public relations and weaves in aspects of journalism, history, comedy and visual arts. Social media might be the most creative and most adaptable department in the organization as well as the most collaborative, working with the Giants' team photographers, Suzanna Mitchell and Andy Kuno, graphics, design and SFG Productions. Dreams the way we planned 'em If we work in tandem — SFGiants (@SFGiants) May 21, 2025 Across a dozen platforms, the Giants strive for a consistent voice, which can be tricky given the many accounts and the larger staff size. There are some guidelines — keep things positive, light, conversational — but nothing is too onerous. 'We're always trying to find the balance between super funny, cutting-edge stuff and staying true to the Giants' brand, which is very classy,' said Travis Hall, the team's senior social-media coordinator and TikTok authority. Unlike some teams, the Giants prefer not to tweak or antagonize their opponents much. When they do, it tends to be subtle. After the Dodgers took the lead in the NL West in 2021, for instance, MLB posted a fireworks graphic and 'we pocketed that one,' social media director Jen Eisenmann said. 'Once we won the NL West at the end of the season, we copied the graphic pretty much exactly and posted it.' 'It was one of those 'if you know, you know' moments,' Srabian said. Even with less snark than many other sports social-media accounts, the Giants' team must deal with the negative aspects of the internet. Official team accounts make obvious targets for rival fans, or, in the case of the A's, the team's own former fans. The Giants never have turned off comments, as the A's did after announcing their planned move to Las Vegas, but there is still enough ugliness among the responses that it can take a toll. 'The first few years, that bugged me, but there's nothing we can do to change it no matter how nice or friendly we are,' Hall said. 'Even when you're winning, you'll still have people who are negative — but the good thing is you'll see in comment sections that fans will police themselves.' 'We don't feel that every negative comment or troll has to be acknowledged,' Srabian said. 'The joke in social media is when someone doesn't like something, it used to be 'fire the intern' and now it's 'fire the admin! ' So there's a lot of that, but the fans always come first and you want to make sure you're listening to your fans if they have legitimate concerns.' One thing that the social-media department strives for is invisibility, trying to glide through the dugout and around the field without getting in anyone's way or in any camera shots. They keep joshing tabs on co-workers' inadvertent appearances on postgame shows or newspaper photos. Hall heard about it the most when a reddit forum confused him for Buster Posey after a game ('That was bad,' Hall said, 'but at least I was dressed nice.') Chris Bowersox, the team's social-media manager and YouTube ace, used to be mistaken for former GM Scott Harris. Giants players quickly grow to trust the social-media staff, who spend time with the team during the spring and go on the road during the season. Patrick Bailey OK'd a 'Day in the Life' segment with Hall for TikTok and Instagram. Lee, Mike Yastrzemski and Luis Matos went out for Korean barbecue together — with Han interpreting — for a YouTube feature. Players and coaches played a 'Flip Cup' game on TikTok for Hall this spring, 'and that's the hardest I've ever laughed behind a camera,' he said. @sfgiants No matter how many failed flip cups life throws at you, keep flipping until you succeed #LifeLessons #FlipCup #Determination ♬ original sound - San Francisco Giants For inspiration, the department keeps an eye on what other pro teams are doing with their accounts, especially if something goes viral, but the Giants just as likely to draw ideas and references from pop culture or fashion, art or food trends — or social influencers, many of whom the team welcomes to the park during the season. 'I think the best, most well-rounded social media people aren't only baseball fans,' Eisenmann said. 'If you have other interests, that's a great way to attract a different audience. 'The baseball fan is already going to follow the Giants and is engaging with our content. We want people who might not otherwise be coming to games to see our posts and say, 'Oh, that looks like fun!

‘Medical Arranged' – Arsenal Transfer Set to be Completed
Jorginho Set for Flamengo Switch as Arsenal Midfield Reshuffle Begins As the summer transfer window kicks into gear, Arsenal fans can begin to bid farewell to one of their more experienced midfielders. Jorginho, the Brazil-born Italian international, is reportedly 'set for a medical' with Flamengo on Friday 6 June ahead of a free transfer move, according to a report from De Globo. Advertisement The 32-year-old midfielder, who joined the Gunners from Chelsea in January 2023, will leave the club on 30 June when his contract officially expires. His departure marks the start of an expected overhaul in midfield as Mikel Arteta reshapes his squad in pursuit of Premier League glory. Flamengo Beckons for Jorginho De Globo report that Jorginho is expected to fly to Rio de Janeiro in the early hours of Friday morning and will undergo a medical shortly after. Once completed, the veteran midfielder is anticipated to sign a contract with Flamengo, where he will wear the number 21 shirt. Photo: IMAGO This move brings Jorginho's time at Arsenal to an end after 79 appearances and two goals. While his signing raised some eyebrows initially, the experienced Italian played a steadying role in a young Arsenal side pushing for the title. Advertisement Though not a headline-grabber, his ability to control the tempo, retain possession and offer tactical intelligence made him a trusted figure for Arteta in key matches. That said, Arsenal's ambitions have clearly outgrown the need for a player nearing the twilight of his career. Zubimendi the Likely Successor With Jorginho out, the Gunners' attention turns to long-time midfield target Martín Zubimendi. The Real Sociedad midfielder has reportedly verbally agreed to join Arsenal and is seen as the ideal replacement. The 26-year-old Spaniard, known for his composure under pressure and elite passing range, is widely tipped to take over the role Jorginho leaves behind. Arsenal are expected to activate his €60 million (£50.6m) release clause. Advertisement Zubimendi, however, added a note of caution earlier this week. Speaking while on duty with the Spanish national team, he said: 'Of course there are options, but it's true that it seems like it's going to be a different, long summer, and I don't know how it will end. I don't think thinking about it right now is my priority. I'm here with the [Spain] national team, which I think is already quite demanding, and if I have to say something, then I will.' While this doesn't confirm a move is off, it does suggest the transfer may not be as imminent as some fans might hope. Arteta's Midfield Puzzle Jorginho isn't the only midfielder whose future is in question. Thomas Partey's deal is also due to expire, although talks are ongoing to extend his stay at the Emirates. Arteta reportedly wants to retain the Ghanaian, possibly as a depth option alongside any new additions. Advertisement In addition, Arsenal have already confirmed the exits of Kieran Tierney, Raheem Sterling and Neto, which further highlights the club's intent to refresh the squad ahead of the 2025/26 campaign. This planned midfield evolution is strategic. With Zubimendi targeted and Declan Rice already central to Arteta's plans, the Gunners want to ensure their engine room is durable, dynamic and press-resistant — qualities needed to topple Manchester City and go one better than last season. Our View – EPL Index Analysis As an Arsenal supporter, the news that Jorginho is set to leave isn't shocking — but it does invite reflection. There's a certain respect due to players like him who, despite limited time, brought professionalism, leadership and experience to a young side. He might not have had the legs for a full-throttle Premier League campaign anymore, but he undoubtedly had the brain. Advertisement His move to Flamengo feels fitting, offering a return to his roots and perhaps a final chapter with silverware in South America. But the bigger picture here is Zubimendi. If Arsenal can land him, this feels like a significant upgrade. He's composed under pressure, reads the game intelligently, and has the technical quality to help Arsenal dominate in possession. Yet there's a niggling worry. Zubimendi's comments show he's in no rush. Could another club swoop in? Are Arsenal once again risking a delay that could cost them a key target? The club must move decisively. Losing Jorginho is manageable — but missing out on his successor could destabilise Arteta's entire midfield project.

Official: Barcelona duo start for Spain U-21 against Ukraine
With the Under-21 UEFA European Championship set to kick off in under a week, Spain are finalising their preparations for the big tournament with a friendly against Ukraine tonight. And, manager Santi Denia has named two Barcelona youngsters in the Spain U-21 starting lineup for the game at Santo Domingo in Alcorcon. Advertisement Indeed, Pablo Torre and Gerard Martin are both in the starting XI for the Under-21 Spanish national team tonight and will be hoping to cement their places in the lineup ahead of the Euros. Torre has been a regular presence in Denia's squad for Spain U-21 despite his lack of minutes at the club level for Barcelona. With a summer exit likely, the young attacking midfielder will be hoping to showcase his qualities on the international stage. As for Martin, this will be the U-21 Euros first taste of a major international tournament for the left-back and he will be eager to prepare with a strong showing against Ukraine tonight. Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez had initially been named in the Spain squad for the U-21 Euros this summer but was withdrawn after deliberations so that he could get some rest after a heavy workload over the past year.
