David Moyes targets Kyle Walker for new Everton era
Kyle Walker has emerged as a serious target for Everton as they look to build David Moyes's squad heading into their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. Moyes is in the market for a right-back following Ashley Young's departure from the club at the end of the month, with Walker among the candidates they are willing to explore. Walker, 35, was not taken to the Club World Cup with Manchester City and will be allowed to leave the Etihad Stadium having spent eight years at the club, winning six Premier League titles and the Champions League. He was loaned out to AC Milan for the second half of the 2024-25 campaign and returned this month, although is not expected to be returning to Italy for a second spell at the San Siro. While he is assessing his next options, Everton could be an attractive destination in terms of location and their ambitious plans as they start next season in a brand new ground after leaving Goodison Park. Moyes played Jake O'Brien at right-back but is looking at options to provide competition in that area, with the Republic of Ireland international also able to play as a centre-back. The club released Young along with Abdoulaye Doucouré, Joao Virginia, Asmir Begovic, Mason Holgate and Neal Maupay at the end of their deals this summer. Walker was at fault for one of Senegal's goals in England's 3-1 defeat at the City Ground, although Thomas Tuchel, the head coach, defended him by insisting he was out of rhythm after a recent shoulder injury.

'I think at the moment you see a lack of rhythm. Because he did not play the last matches, not many minutes for AC Milan,' Tuchel said. 'And after his broken elbow he lost his rhythm, that's what you feel in camp. I saw him very composed. 'I saw him very open. I saw him absolutely happy to be in camp and proud to be in camp. He trained very well. Every single player who played today deserved it, over two camps or in this camp, to play, to start, to come in. That counts also for Kyle. I feel a lack of rhythm in his game.'

McIlroy first to qualify for Team Europe at Ryder Cup
June 16 (Reuters) - Rory McIlroy became the first player to qualify for Europe for the 2025 Ryder Cup, the team announced on Monday, with the Masters champion set to make his eighth consecutive appearance in the biennial event. McIlroy sealed his spot through the European Points List, a qualification pathway based on performances in DP World Tour and co-sanctioned events, as the Northern Irishman has enjoyed four victories so far since last August. The 35-year-old completed a long-sought career Grand Slam at Augusta National in April, on top of victories at the Dubai DP World Tour Championship in November, the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and The Players Championship. A top-20 finish at the U.S. Open over the weekend was enough to mathematically guarantee his place on the team. The 2025 Ryder Cup will be held at Bethpage Black in New York from September 26–28, with European captain Luke Donald set to round out his 12-man squad later this year through six automatic qualifiers and six captain's picks. "It's always a huge honour to represent Europe in the Ryder Cup, so it means a great deal to have qualified for my eighth in a row and to be part of Luke's team again at Bethpage," McIlroy said. "Winning a Ryder Cup away from home is one of the biggest challenges there is in golf. We know it is going to be tough in New York, but we are all looking forward to that challenge in September and the opportunity to potentially do something special." McIlroy has been a Ryder Cup mainstay since his debut in 2010, helping Europe to five victories in seven appearances.

PEDRO NETO clashed with a host of Los Angeles FC players as tempers flared in the Club World Cup. The Chelsea star was held back by teammates at half-time of the Group D clash in Atlanta. 3 3 3 Neto gave the Blues a deserved lead with a well-taken goal just before the break. But he was on the receiving end of some lip from Los Angeles players as Chelsea headed to the dressing room. The Portuguese forward appeared to exchange words with LAFC's Denis Bouanga after the half-time whistle was blown. Neto pretended to plant a kiss on the Frenchman's cheek. The pair began shoving, despite the assistant referee trying to move Neto away from the situation. Chelsea players were forced to get in between the pair to avoid any escalation. Both Neto and Bouanga were able to avoid any punishment from referee Jesus Valenzuela. THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
