Club World Cup: Five exciting young talents to watch
The FIFA Club World Cup begins this week as the expanded tournament takes to the United States this summer. FIFA's relaunch of the competition offers intrigue and there's plenty of talent on show. Ahead of the first fixture this weekend, we've picked out five exciting young talents to watch. Club World Cup: Five exciting young talents to watch Estevao Willian – Palmeiras Estevao Willian will head to Europe after the tournament having agreed to sign for Chelsea last year. The 18-year-old is regarded as one of South America's biggest talents and will hope to wave farewell to Palmeiras with a strong summer. Advertisement At just 16, he helped the Brazilian side to a Serie A league title in 2023 and was named the best player in the league in 2024. Earlier this month, he started Carlo Ancelotti's first game as Brazil manager and has already won five senior caps. Excitement levels around Estevao are understandably high and he is targeting a breakout tournament on the world stage. Rodrigo Mora – Porto Rodrigo Mora's step up into the senior side at Porto has been a seamless transition. The teenager was the top scorer in the UEFA Youth League in 2023/24, before leading last summer's u-17 European Championship for goals. Handed his first-team chance, Mora took it with both hands. Advertisement The attacking midfielder scored 10 goals and created four more in the Primeira Liga, despite starting just 16 times for Porto. Plenty of eyes will be on the 18-year-old this summer. He looks likely to bank one of Europe's best selling clubs a windfall in the near future. Wesley – Flamengo Wesley continues to be touted with a move to Europe and a strong Club World Cup could consolidate interest in the defender. A traditional Brazilian full-back with a desire to join the attack, the 21-year-old has racked up 130 senior appearances for Flamengo and made his senior debut for Brazil earlier this year. In 2024, he was named in the Team of the Year for both the Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil. Franco Mastantuono – River Plate Real Madrid have won a transfer tug-of-war with Paris Saint-Germain to land Franco Mastantuno, another South American starlet set for Europe after the tournament. Advertisement The 17-year-old broke into the River Plate team last year and has continued to thrive for the Buenos Aires giants. This season, he's scored seven times in 20 appearances, including a fantastic free-kick in the Superclásico against Boca Juniors. He became the youngest River player ever to score in the fixture and will soon link up with a superstar cast of talent in Madrid. Kenan Yildiz – Juventus Kenan Yildiz came of age in a Juventus shirt last season with the playmaker a positive in an up-and-down campaign for the Turin side. Yildiz scored seven times as Juventus secured Champions League qualification and was named in the Serie A Team of the Season. Advertisement The Turkey international inherited the club's famous number 10 shirt last season and does not appear to be wilting under the expectation.

Deloitte report: European football revenue grows to €38 billion
Liverpool players celebrate on the open-top bus during the Premier League winners parade in Liverpool. Danny Lawson/PA Wire/dpa The European football market has grown by another 8% to a record €38 billion (€43.5 billion) in the 2023-24 season, according to the Annual Review of Football Finance published on Thursday by professional services company Deloitte. England's Premier League leads the way again as the top five leagues in Europe contributed €20.4 billion, a rise by 4%, the other being Germany's Bundesliga, Italy's Serie A, La Liga in Spain and Ligue 1 in France. Advertisement The 96 clubs achieved an operating profit the second straight season, of €600 million, according to the report which does not include transfer income. Deloitte said that additional commercial revue was the main driver, which in England reached €2 billion for the first time and €8 billion across the five leagues. Broadcast rights revenue remained the biggest source with €9.4 billion. England led the way again with €7.354 billion in total revenue, a rise of 8%, far ahead of Germany (€3.797 billion) and Spain (3.764 billion). The Bundesliga figure was a 1% decline from 2022-23, as matchday and commercial revenue went down 2% each while broadcast rights income rose 1%. Advertisement Deloitte named as the main reason for the drop the relegation of Schalke and Hertha Berlin, clubs with big stadiums and fan bases. Stefan Ludwig, head of Deloitte's Sport Business Group in Germany, said he expects the big five leagues to top €21 billion in 2024-25, but then stagnation because done broadcast deals show that none of the leagues managed a significant increase. In general, he added: "The pressure on clubs is increasing. They have to generate additional income and at the same time cope with rising costs in order to remain competitive."

Is Mikel Arteta's intensity wearing Arsenal down?
Arsenal's transformation under Mikel Arteta has been undeniable. After finishing eighth in the Premier League in his first two seasons following his appointment in December 2019, Arteta guided them to fifth in 2021–22 and then to three consecutive runner-up finishes. In 2024–25, the 43-year-old Spaniard also led Arsenal to their first Champions League semi-final since 2009, where they were beaten 3–1 on aggregate by eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain. Advertisement Like many top managers, Arteta is known for his intensity. But after another season of missed opportunities where Arsenal's league form tailed off late on, is that intensity wearing his side down? This was one listener's question that Ian Stone, Adrian Clarke and Art de Roché delved into on the latest episode of Handbrake Off. A partial transcript has been edited for clarity and length. The full episode is available to listen to via the Handbrake Off feed on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Ian: This question is from Richard (listener) who asked, 'Do you think Mikel Arteta's intensity has led to squad fatigue? They can't even have a relaxing dinner together without a pickpocket stealing their things.' If you don't know the context of that, you really need to look it up. But Adrian, do you think his intensity has led to squad fatigue? Adrian: I wouldn't say that's an issue, although mental fatigue is a thing. I do think that if you have an intense manager and someone who does a lot of talking, you do need to have something tangible at the end of it sooner rather than later. So there is a bit of pressure now on Arteta to deliver trophies because if you're listening to the same guy giving you team talks year in and year out, but you're not winning stuff, sooner or later there is a danger that some might stop listening. Or they may stop listening as intently, and not have that same level of buy-in, so there is a threat of that. But I don't see it as being a problem in the here and now. That's why it's so important that you refresh the squad each year with new faces, and faces that are really into what the manager is saying. That can then be really infectious, and it rubs back off on the players, and together as a group they maintain that total buy-in. That can be the same with staff members, because certain managers who stay at clubs for a long time do refresh their backroom team. That's something maybe to consider if not this year, next year, just to have a fresh voice. I do think that's important, especially if you haven't got over the line yet and you haven't climbed that mountain. But we don't know what goes on behind the scenes. I'm pretty sure that they get plenty of downtime and can also have a laugh. I'm sure Arteta's not always on them, we don't see all of that, but I'm sure they have plenty of laughs and time off. Advertisement Ian: Art anything to add to that? I agree with you Adrian that we don't know what's going on behind the scenes. There's no doubt Arteta's intense, and Ethan Nwaneri touched on that when you spoke to him Art, but it's not like he's on them 24 hours a day. I remember Man United's young players talking about when Sir Alex Ferguson was on the phone asking, 'Where are you? Why aren't you home yet?' And all that stuff. But that's what you need, you need full focus. It's not like we haven't played great the last few years, we're just trying to get over the line. Art: Yeah definitely, and what Adrian said about refreshing things is quite interesting as well. The manager that actually came to my mind was Sir Alex Ferguson when Adrian mentioned the backroom staff. I remember he changed his assistant manager every few seasons, and it seemed to work quite well. But also if we talk about just general fatigue in terms of fitness, I think that's where the squad building comes into it as well. Because if you look at the last couple of seasons, and I know we've spoken about it before, the knock-on effect of having one injury means that one player might have to play a lot more than expected. We've seen it at right-back with Ben White and Jurrien Timber, where Timber's ACL injury meant White had to play a lot more minutes than expected that season, and it came back to haunt him. Ian: So you think that affected him the year after with the injury? Art: Yeah potentially because he ended up playing pretty much all the minutes, so all of that factors into it too. There's physical fatigue alongside mental fatigue as well. But hopefully, a lot of these players without the Club World Cup and no real men's international tournament this summer get a good rest.
