Crystal Palace: Eberechi Eze release clause expires on August 15 amid Arsenal interest
Eberechi Eze's £68million release clause at Crystal Palace expires on August 15. Standard Sport understands the release clause remains active until that date, when the Premier League season begins with Liverpool hosting Bournemouth. Arsenal are aware of the situation and hold an ongoing interest in Eze, who is said to be happy at Palace but open to a move to the Emirates if the opportunity close to the situation believe Arsenal may need to make space in the squad by selling before moving for the England international. There has been interest from elsewhere in Leandro Trossard — who plays in similar positions to Eze — and suggestions that he could leave. The Gunners held talks with Eze's representatives earlier this summer and value the versatile forward at less than his £68m release clause, so would negotiate with Palace. The Eagles are expected to retain that £68m figure as their valuation of the 27-year-old after the clause expires. Eze was previously on Arsenal's books as a youngster until being released at the age of 13. Arsenal have already had a busy summer with six new signings through the door for combined fees in excess of £200m. Most recent additions Viktor Gyokeres and Cristhian Mosquera made their debuts on Thursday during a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham. Noni Madueke is set to join the squad for training next week following leave after the Club World Cup. In further good news, Ethan Nwaneri has signed a new long-term contract with the club, ending speculation over his own future.

Scottie Scheffler Shows His Edge Amid 'Ridiculous' Ryder Cup Questions
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Scottie Scheffler is known for his calm demeanor, laser focus, and a game that rarely flinches under pressure. But amid his BMW Championship run, the World No. 1 showed a different side, one that had clearly run out of patience. On Thursday, after being pressed repeatedly about the upcoming Ryder Cup, Scheffler finally snapped after being asked how the crowd at Bethpage Black might compare to the atmosphere at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome two years ago.

(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images) More Getty Images "I love answering questions about the Ryder Cup, but this is ridiculous," the Texas native answered during his pre-tournament press conference. "We're at the BMW Championship. The Ryder Cup is over a month away." He added, "If you want to talk about this week, let's talk about this week. If not, I've got practice to do. I'm getting ready for a golf tournament." Scheffler, while not hostile, was firm and unmistakably fed up after facing six consecutive questions about the Ryder Cup. His reaction mirrored frustrations Rory McIlroy has voiced throughout the season. Most notably, McIlroy skipped all four media sessions at the PGA Championship in May, choosing silence over scrutiny after his driver failed a conformity test, an issue that was leaked to the press despite being confidential. While Scheffler's similar situation remained under wraps, McIlroy became the headline, prompting him to avoid the spotlight and sidestep a barrage of repetitive questions. The World No. 1, however, has remained present throughout the season. His frustration wasn't about the event itself but the timing of the questions. And to be fair, the excitement is understandable. With the final Ryder Cup roster set to be announced after the Tour Championship on Aug. 27, anticipation is building. That said, fans and media alike are eager to dissect every pairing, every captain's pick, and every hint of strategy. But amid that, Scheffler's point stands: The BMW Championship is a pivotal leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, and he's there to win. On Thursday, Scheffler opened with a 4-under 66 at Caves Valley Golf Club, placing him in solo third behind Robert MacIntyre's scorching 62. He birdied three of his final four holes after a rain delay, taking full advantage of softened greens and cooler conditions. "Golf course definitely got a bit easier," Scheffler told reporters after his Day 1. "Did a good job of taking advantage of the holes I had left." As of Round 2, the four-time major winner tees off at 1:38 p.m. ET, paired again with McIlroy. With four wins this season, including the PGA Championship and The Open, he remains the FedEx Cup points leader and a lock for Team USA. He's also confirmed to play the Procore Championship in Napa, a warm-up event as planned by captain Keegan Bradley to keep players sharp ahead of the Ryder Cup.

Bryson DeChambeau's LIV Golf Status Sidelines Him From Ryder Cup Warm-Up
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Bryson DeChambeau has been one of the most dominant American golfers this season. With a win in Korea, seven top-10 finishes on the LIV Golf circuit, and top-five performances in three majors, he's earned his place on Team USA, as confirmed by Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley after The Open.

(Photo by) More Getty Images It will mark DeChambeau's return to Ryder Cup action after being left off the 2023 squad by former captain Zach Johnson. But while his spot on the team is secure, his path to preparation is not. Earlier this summer, Bradley announced his intention to get his team to tee it up at the Procore Championship, a PGA Tour event in Napa, which is scheduled to take place just two weeks before the Ryder Cup. The idea was to keep the players sharp, build chemistry, and avoid the rust that plagued the Americans in Rome two years ago. "No one is required to go," Bradley clarified to Sports Illustrated. "But the boys feel like this is the best course of action to be ready to play at their highest level at Bethpage". Scottie Scheffler, who leads the Ryder Cup standings and shot a 66 in the opening round of the BMW Championship this week, has already committed to playing in Napa. "Outside of some extenuating circumstances, I'll probably be playing in Napa," Scheffler told reporters on Thursday. "It's important for me to get out and get some competitive reps before the Ryder Cup. I felt like last time was maybe a bit too much time off." But for DeChambeau, that door is closed. "Well, he's suspended," Bradley stated on Thursday after teeing at the BMW Championship. "And that's out of my control." As a LIV Golf member, DeChambeau remains ineligible for PGA Tour competition. A Tour spokesperson confirmed to Sports Illustrated that he "is not eligible for PGA Tour competition." Even with a sponsor's exemption, he would need formal permission from the Tour, something that appears unlikely. "I thought the Ryder Cup sort of transcends all of this," Bradley added, as per reports. "And really, the last thing on my mind is the PGA Tour-LIV stuff." Additionally, DeChambeau's agent, Brett Falkoff, told Sports Illustrated that "Bryson plans to participate in every team gathering that he is permitted to attend." With just days left between the end of the LIV season and the Ryder Cup, DeChambeau may seek competitive reps elsewhere. The DP World Tour's Irish Open, held the week before Napa, is a possibility, though he'd need an invitation. Currently ranked No. 5 in the U.S. Ryder Cup standings with 10,774.98 points, DeChambeau is projected to qualify automatically. He also holds the No. 17 spot in the Official World Golf Ranking, despite LIV events not awarding OWGR points. Bradley remains optimistic about DeChambeau's readiness. "It's sort of been on Bryson to come to us," he said as quoted. "And he's been great about that. Bryson is going to keep himself ready. That's who he is."
