Bayer Leverkusen finalize terms of Ernest Poku transfer, enter into negotiations for Loïc Badé
Kicker and all other major German footballing media sources report that Bayer Leverkusen have wrapped up negotiations for the transfer of AZ Alkmaar winger Ernest Poku. The 21-year-old is due in Leverkusen for a medical ahead of a €10m move to the Bundesliga. All German sources claim that Poku will sign a four-year-contract with Germany's red company team. In other Leverkusen-related personnel news, Sport Bild reports that Leverkusen stepped up their efforts to acquire Sevilla centre-back Loïc Badé. Negotiations are underway with a transfer fee in the €20m to €25m range being discussed. The German tabloid does note that the Bundesliga club faces stiff competition from AFC Bournemouth, who are prepared to pay €30m for the French international. Leverkusen continue to scramble to increase their undermanned squad ahead of the forthcoming Bundesliga campaign. The recent confirmation of longtime keeper and captain Lukas Hradecky's move to AS Monaco now leaves head coach Erik ten Hag with only 23 professionals with which to work. Hradecky's loss is at the very least expected to be rectified shortly by the signing of German keeper Janis Blaswich away from RB Leipzig. Blaswich will serve as the back-up to new club No. 1 Mark Flekken. GGFN |

Browns QB Shedeur Sanders causes AFC North exec to look inward
Following his impressive preseason debut, Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders is already turning heads among NFL executives. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, an anonymous executive from an AFC North team was taken aback by Sanders' performance. The executive's text message to Schultz simply read, "It's early, but wow. Actually shocked at how good he looks." This feedback is particularly noteworthy given the pre-draft narrative surrounding Sanders. The former Colorado standout faced criticism for what some viewed as arrogance and entitlement, leading to his surprising fall to the fifth round of the draft. However, Sanders's poise and execution in his first professional action have begun to rewrite that narrative. He finished the game with 147 total yards, a QB rating of 106.8, and two touchdowns. Between those stats and the "eye test," the football world saw the young man demonstrating the accuracy that stood out on his tape at Colorado. While it is only the preseason, the comments from a divisional opponent suggest that Sanders' performance was more than just an ordinary rookie outing. His ability to impress those who have spent countless hours scouting him and his peers is a significant step in his young career and further fuels the burgeoning quarterback competition in Cleveland.

Browns HC Kevin Stefanski gives assessment of Shedeur Sanders' debut
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski offered a measured yet positive assessment of rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders' performance in his preseason debut against the Carolina Panthers. When asked by ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi about the rookie's outing, Stefanski praised Sanders' command of the offense and the team's execution. He continued, emphasizing the room for growth: "I'm pleased with Shedeur, pleased with the offense... Again, not perfect, plenty that we can work on. But I thought the guys did a really nice job. Shedeur and operating. The guys' making plays, so again, a ton to teach on." Sanders, who finished the game with a stat line of 14-of-23 for 138 yards and two touchdowns, with 19 rushing yards, had given himself a self-critical "C+" grade immediately after the game. Stefanski's comments echo the rookie's own sentiment of not being perfect but also highlight a solid foundation to build upon. The coach went on to say, "He'll get a ton of reps next week as well," as sourced by Camryn Justice of News 5 Cleveland. Despite Sanders' impressive debut, this is just the beginning of his development in Cleveland, and with the team traveling to play the reigning Super Bowl champions next Saturday, his hardest trials are surely ahead.
