Celtic sign 'highly rated' striker Osmand from Fulham
Striker Callum Osmand has joined Celtic from Fulham, with the Premier League club confirming that the "highly-rated" 19-year-old had rejected the offer of a new contract. Osmand, who has signed a four-year deal with the Scottish champions, has been at Craven Cottage since the age of 13 and has represented both England and Wales at youth level. Advertisement Last season, Osmand scored 18 goals across all competitions for Fulham's Under-21 side. The teenager revealed he received advice about the move from Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Matt O'Riley, who was a Fulham trainee before a successful spell at Celtic Park. "He was telling me about how big the club is, how amazing the fans are and it's a new life really," Osmand told Celtic TV. "So, 'excited' is definitely the word for me. It feels unbelievable. It's a massive move and I can't wait to step out at Celtic Park in front of all the fans. "When I spoke to the manager, he was really positive. The plan and pathway he has set out for the club is top." Advertisement Osmand becomes Celtic's fourth first-team addition of the summer following the arrival of fellow forward Benjamin Nygren from Nordsjaelland and the return of defender Kieran Tierney from Arsenal and goalkeeper Ross Doohan from Aberdeen. Fulham will be due a development fee from the Glasgow club. Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers told his club website: "He's a quick and powerful striker and I'm really looking forward to working with him. "I'm sure he can be really successful with us. He is a highly-rated, talented young player."

Liverpool's Trey Nyoni signs new long-term contract with the club
Trey Nyoni has signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool. The central midfielder turned 18 today, and the new deal rewards the impression and impact he has made since his arrival from Leicester City in September 2023. He signed his first professional contract in October 2024, having been training regularly with the senior squad. A special birthday for Trey! 🌟🎈 — Liverpool FC (@LFC) June 30, 2025 Upon signing the new deal, the teenager said: 'It means a lot, obviously supporting the club from young as well, so it's a great feeling. Now I have to go out and show why I've earned this contract. 'It's just step-by-step, day-by-day, just becoming better every day, improving as a player. I'm still young. You know, there's a lot of improvement. That's the most important thing.' After impressive performances in several different age groups in Liverpool's youth academy, Nyoni made his debut in the same campaign as a late substitute in the FA Cup fourth round victory over Southampton in February 2024, becoming the fourth youngest debutant in the club's history. He has also impressed head coach Arne Slot, as he was involved in pre-season and made five senior appearances last season — including in the Champions League against PSV, becoming the club's youngest-ever player in a European competition (17 years and 213 days). Advertisement Nyoni has also represent England at every youth level from undder-16 to under-20. A new contract for Nyoni is great news for him and Liverpool and underlines the faith the club have in his potential. The 18-year-old has been turning heads since he arrived at the academy and has been fast-tracked through the age groups because of his talent. The gifted midfielder has technical quality in abundance. He is calm in possession and is versatile, capable of playing in multiple midfield roles. The hope is he is the next gem to emerge from the academy that has seen a number of players come through and play first team minutes. It remains to be seen what Liverpool decide is best for his development this season, but the ambitious midfielder will no doubt be hoping to make another strong impression in pre-season and form part of Slot's first team plans.

Qatar targets 2029 Club World Cup despite winter fixture chaos
Qatar Eyes 2029 Club World Cup Bid Amid Winter Switch Concerns Qatar signals intent for 2029 Qatar has emerged once more on the international football stage, expressing interest in hosting the 2029 Club World Cup. The ambition is clear. Following the high-profile staging of the 2022 World Cup, Qatar is bidding to bring another marquee tournament to the Middle East. According to The Guardian, conversations have already taken place between senior Qatari officials and FIFA figures during the ongoing edition of the Club World Cup in the United States. Advertisement The proposition offers familiarity and infrastructure. Qatar's nine World Cup stadiums remain in place, with six actively used in the Qatar Stars League. The appeal is logistical efficiency: reduced travel, lower operational costs and, crucially, the chance to market the event as carbon-neutral. In contrast to the sprawling 2025 tournament hosted across 11 US cities, Qatar presents a compact alternative. Photo IMAGO But with summer temperatures frequently soaring above 40°C, the tournament would almost certainly have to be moved to a winter window, just as the 2022 World Cup was — a move that would reignite tensions between FIFA and European domestic leagues. Climate and calendar collide The concept of a December tournament has already surfaced in informal discussions. But such timing would generate significant resistance from European leagues, especially the Premier League, where the festive period marks one of the busiest stretches in the domestic calendar. Advertisement This isn't theoretical concern. It's already happening. Summer football in the United States has struggled with erratic and extreme weather, as illustrated by Chelsea's weather-delayed clash with Benfica. Head coach Enzo Maresca labelled the two-hour suspension 'a joke', reflecting broader frustrations with the tournament's current conditions. Photo IMAGO The players' union, FifPro, has also raised concerns about welfare, citing relentless fixture congestion and playing conditions as urgent issues to be addressed. A winter Club World Cup, squeezed into an already congested calendar, would only deepen these concerns. Legal pushback and quiet club support FIFA already faces legal challenges from European Leagues and FifPro over what they perceive as a lack of consultation in Club World Cup planning. Hosting the 2029 edition in Qatar, and particularly in December, would further fuel this discord. Advertisement But while league bodies rage against the machine, individual clubs may be more pragmatic. With a $1 billion prize fund on offer, financial logic begins to outweigh logistical discomfort. Manchester City, for instance, earned $51.7 million for reaching the last 16 and could pocket a further $74.1 million by winning the tournament. Compare that with PSG's Champions League windfall — for a longer, tougher route to the final — and the economics of participation become harder to ignore. Clubs know where the money is flowing. And increasingly, it flows through FIFA's hands. Formal bidding to follow Unlike the 2025 edition, which was handed to the US without a contest, FIFA is expected to open a formal bidding process for 2029. Interest is growing. Brazil has already announced its candidacy, with Spain and Morocco also declaring intent ahead of their joint hosting duties in 2030. Advertisement Qatar's bid, though, carries the weight of proven delivery. The infrastructure, the experience and the ambition are all there. But the question remains: can global football, already stretched and strained, absorb another winter World Cup-scale disruption? For all the familiarity Qatar offers in venue and staging, the debate will be fought over the calendar — a battleground as contested as any football pitch.
