Arsenal beaten by Tottenham as Viktor Gyokeres makes debut
Gyokeres was named on the bench by Gunners boss Mikel Arteta days after being able to seal a big-money transfer to the Premier League club. Arteta turned to Gyokeres with 14 minutes left of the friendly and with Arsenal behind after Pape Sarr's long-range effort on the stroke of half-time, but Swedish forward Gyokeres was a largely isolated figure and failed to stop a 1-0 loss. After a flurry of early Arsenal set-pieces in the first north London derby to be played outside of England, Spurs' Pedro Porro hit the post in the ninth minute direct from a corner. Outrageous from Pape Sarr 😮💨 Don't miss the action – watch the second half live on SPURSPLAY 📺 — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) July 31, 2025 Wilson Odobert and Richarlison also struck the woodwork for Tottenham during a first half which seemed destined to end goalless until Sarr's sublime intervention. Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya raced out to pass to Myles Lewis-Skelly, who was dispossessed and Sarr was alert to chip into the empty net from close to the halfway line in the 45th minute. Chances were few and far between in the second half before Arteta turned to his bench after Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz and summer recruit Martin Zubimendi had been wasteful in front of goal. Gyokeres was introduced for Havertz in the 76th minute and while he fashioned a late missed chance for Zubimendi, the former Sporting Lisbon attacker's first appearance for Arsenal ended in defeat.

Newcastle's anger with Liverpool grows after Alexander Isak's latest move
Alexander Isak is training alone at former club Real Sociedad as he attempts to force his way out of Newcastle and towards becoming Liverpool's latest big money signing Newcastle United are growing increasingly frustrated with Liverpool as the Alexander Isak transfer saga rumbles on without development. The Toon are yet to receive a bid for their leading goalscorer despite Isak making it clear that he is keen to leave St James' Park amid supposed interest from the Premier League 's reigning champions. Sweden star Isak, 25, was not taken on tour to Asia by Eddie Howe, though the club said it is because he has a thigh injury. Yet it turns out that Isak is now in Spain, training alone at the facilities of his former club Real Sociedad, while he waits for his future to be sorted out. Liverpool are one of few clubs capable of affording Newcastle 's £120m asking price for one of the game's most prolific centre-forwards, whose current salary is also £120,000 per week. However no formal submission of interest has been lodged and that has left Isak's current club irritated, according to their local media. Liverpool have already usurped Newcastle to the signing of France Under-21 striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt but if Isak digs his heels in Eddie Howe's side may be left with no other option but to enter negotiations with the Reds. Arne Slot has seen his dressing room boosted by signings worth close to £300m already this window, though there is an expectation that further departures must take place before an Isak bid is sent. Luis Diaz departed this week in a £65m deal to Bayern Munich, following Jarrell Quansah and Caoimhin Kelleher out the door. But Darwin Nunez, Harvey Elliott and Federico Chiesa are also being linked with moves away in transfers that will offset the club's high spending. Newcastle, meanwhile, continue to show an interest in Brentford star Yoane Wissa - suggesting that they are already putting plans in place for life without Isak. The Bees are reluctant to sell another forward, however, having seen Bryan Mbeumo head to Manchester United in a £65m switch.

The CEO of Jaguar and Land Rover is retiring after two years in the top job
In a recent interview with Autocar, Mardell revealed that he had driven the new GT and said it was the "most fun I've had" in his time as JLR boss. "It was stunning in terms of its speed, its acceleration, its performance, but also how it delivered the power with a real sense of character," he said. "The chassis team are really excited about the possibilities of the vehicle.' Speaking more generally about Jaguar's prospects as an all-electric luxury brand, Mardell said he was "certain we will have wait lists which are significant relative to the volumes we aspire for with the first product'. He continued: "In today's market conditions, I don't see anything which is going to concern me about the success of the new Jaguar in this new world at all, actually.' Mardell leaves JLR in a position of far greater stability than that it was in when he took the top job, but the company still faces strong headwinds. Chief among those is the imposition of new tariffs on foreign-built cars in the crucial US market, which accounts for a huge proportion of sales of JLR's most profitable models. The UK recently secured a trade deal that reduced the US import tariff on its exported cars from an initially mooted 25% to 10%, which is good news for the Solihull-built Range Rover models and the Halewood-produced Range Rover Evoque and Discovery Sport. But that levy only applies to the first 100,000 cars shipped to the US in a year, meaning any JLR models shipped above that number are liable to attract the higher 25% fee. Similarly, while the EU has now struck a deal with the US, cars shipped from the region to North America will still attract a 15% tariff, which will have significant implications for the Defender and Discovery, both built in Slovakia. Mardell's eventual replacement will also have to negotiate JLR's inevitable shift to a pure-electric line-up over the coming years, in the face of waning global demand for premium EVs.
