Reece James hoping to make it a family affair on the England scene this summer
Reece James is hoping to make it a family affair on the England scene this summer. The Chelsea defender wants to pin down his place in Thomas Tuchel's side in the upcoming games against Andorra and Senegal while his sister Lauren has overcome injury to be named in the Lionesses squad for Euro 2025 in July. James is delighted for his younger sister and knows the siblings are making their parents proud. 'I'm delighted for her,' the right-back said. 'She obviously got injured with England at the back end of the season, and I'm happy she got selected to represent England going into another Euros. 'I've spoken to her briefly yesterday, I know she's focused on training and trying to get her body right for the tournament. 'The family are very much happy. Both of us representing our country, they're proud.'

The 25-year-old has had an excellent campaign for Chelsea, leading them to Europa Conference League glory and Champions League qualification, with the chance of more silverware to come with the start of the Club World Cup later this month. He believes he is going in the 'right direction' and is not fazed by competition for places. 'I had a difficult two or three seasons, always being injured and coming back and breaking down again, and it was tough,' he admitted. 'It takes a lot out of you when you have so many setbacks.

Arsenal given green light over £60m transfer following fresh discussions
Arsenal are looking for a striker this summer and have money to spend to give Mikel Arteta what he wants, and the Gunners have held fresh talks with RB Leipzig over £60million-rated star Benjamin Sesko Arsenal have held further discussions over a £60m move for Benjamin Sesko. And RB Leipzig ARE ready to sell the 22-year-old Slovenia striker if they get the right offer this summer. Sesko is on Arsenal's shortlist and they have sounded out his representatives and RB Leipzig about a deal with the German club ready to talk business if they can reach agreement. Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta also has Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyökeres on the shortlist while Newcastle's Alexander Isak looks impossible with the Toon Army refusing to sell. The Gunners came close to getting Sesko last summer but he decided to stay in Leipzig for another year rather than move to the Premier League. But as Arsenal wade through the options, the fact that Arsenal have held further talks over Sesko may point to them moving in that direction. Leipzig are planning to sell both Sesko and Dutch attacking midfielder Xavi Simons to rebalance the books and fund a needed rebuild this summer, after missing out on European qualification during a chaotic 2024-25 campaign. On the other side of the coin, Gyökeres would prefer a move to Arsenal over other Premier League clubs and also interest from Spain and Italy. Sporting are ready to sell the Sweden international who hit 95 goals in 100 appearances for the Portuguese club who will allow him to leave if a club comes in with just over £60m this summer. Gyokeres knows English football from his time at Brighton and Coventry but he really made his name in Portugal but is ready for a new challenge. Gyokeres himself has been tight-lipped on his plans. Asked about his future after Sporting's final game of the season, he said: 'Let's see. It's hard for me to say, because yeah it is football and you never know what's going to happen in the summer. "So for me to say anything else than that is impossible.' Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim is also keen on a No.9, knows all about Gyokeres from their time together at Sporting and is waiting in the wings to pounce, having lost out on Liam Delap to Chelsea.
