Report – Inter Milan To Miss Out As Sevilla Star Set To Join Bayer Leverkusen
Inter Milan are set to miss out on the signature of the Loic Bade, with the Sevilla defender set to join Bayer Leverkusen. This according to German broadcaster Sky Sports Deutschland, via FCInterNews. Loic Bade is one name that has emerged in Inter Milan's search for a defender. The Nerazzurri have already missed out on major targets such as Koni De Winter and Giovanni Leoni. However, there is still a sense that Inter could sign a defender late in the window. Particularly if Benjamin Pavard is to leave. Therefore, Inter have been sounding out other targets. Including Sevilla and France defender Loic Bade. Inter Miss Out – Loic Bade To Join Bayer Leverkusen MADRID, SPAIN – DECEMBER 22: Loic Bade of Sevilla FC looks on during the LaLiga match between Real Madrid CF and Sevilla FC at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on December 22, 2024 in Madrid, Spain. (Photo by) In the meantime, however, German club Bayer Leverkusen have also made Bade a priority target. Inter had hoped to swoop in and hijack Leverkusen's deal for the 25-year-old, reports suggest. And Bade himself had reportedly stalled on a move to Leverkusen. If there was a possibility to join Inter, that would have been the France international's preference. However, according to Sky Sports Deutschland, Leverkusen are close to getting the deal over the line. The 2023-24 Bundesliga champions will pay a fee of around €30 million for Bade. Unless Inter are to make a quick move to sign bade ahead of Leverkusen, Sky Deutschland anticipate that the Frenchman will complete his move early next week.

Hurzeler verdict as Albion concede late leveller to Fulham
Fabian Hurzeler said he was pleased with Albion's performance as they were held to a draw by Fulham. But he was less happy about their work leading up to a late goal for the visitors. Rodrigo Muniz fired home from a corner deep in added time to cancel out a Matt O'Riley penalty. Th goal came from a flag kick after Jan Paul van Hecke had been forced to deflect a shot wide. Asked whether his side did enough to have opened the season with a win, Albion boss Hurzeler said: 'No, otherwise we would have won it. 'I think we defended really well, 96 minutes, and then there was one corner. 'I think it's not the corner, it's more the throw before and then the consequence after the throw in the corner. Latest from Albion.. ALBION 1 FULHAM 1: Seagulls concede in stoppage-time after O'Riley penalty 'I think that was the only shot they had during the game. I think that's something we have to do better, but overall I'm pleased with the performance. 'Of course, the team will get judged by the results, but we really should focus on the performance. 'We did so many things, caught so many positive things, and that's my main focus for the following week. 'Then I'm sure the results will come.'

Richarlison brace helps Tottenham win season opener against Burnley
Richarlison netted a brace, including a superb scissor kick, as Thomas Frank picked up a first Premier League win in charge of Tottenham with a 3-0 victory over Burnley. Frank was without injured pair James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, but Richarlison's double helped Spurs secure a first league win since April 6. Mohammed Kudus twice set up Richarlison for his goals, firstly in the 10th minute before he supplied a cross which the latter volleyed in on the hour mark. Brennan Johnson added another six minutes later to wrap up the win for Tottenham on a tough top-flight return for Burnley boss Scott Parker at his old club. Newcastle missed the presence of Alexander Isak as they shared the spoils in a goalless draw with 10-man Aston Villa. Isak was left out by boss Eddie Howe as the Sweden international tries to force a move away from St James' Park this summer. But the Magpies could have done with their star man as they failed to find a way past Villa, who had Ezri Konsa sent off in the 66th minute. Sunderland marked their return to the Premier League in style after they swept West Ham aside with a 3-0 win at the Stadium of Light. Following an eight-year absence from the league, the Black Cats went ahead just after the hour mark through Eliezer Mayenda before Dan Ballard's header doubled their advantage. Substitute Wilson Isidor came off the bench and put the cherry on top of a perfect afternoon to wrap up three points in Sunderland's first Premier League appearance since May 2017. Rodrigo Muniz struck deep into stoppage time as Fulham snatched a 1-1 draw from under the nose of Brighton at the Amex Stadium. Brazilian forward Muniz pounced six minutes into added time after Brighton failed to deal with Harry Wilson's corner. Albion had looked on course to make a winning start to the season when Matt O'Riley tucked home a 55th-minute penalty after Sander Berge brought down Georginio Rutter.
