Euro 2025 a ‘fresh start' for youthful England, says James
THE Women's Euro 2025 campaign will be more like a fresh start than a title defence for England with the team full of young players looking to prove themselves on the big sage, forward Lauren James said. James, who made her senior international debut just over a month after England won the European title in 2022, has recovered from the hamstring injury which sidelined her since April in time for next month's continental campaign. 'A fresh start, a bit like a new era ... hungry girls wanting to do well,' the 23-year-old told The Guardian. 'It's not really about defending a title because it's a completely different team. This team's got a lot of youth in it and this will be some people's first big tournament,' added James, who has scored seven goals in 27 appearances for England. England begin their Group D campaign against France on July 5, followed by games against Netherlands and Wales. The tournament runs from July 2-27.

Liverpool sign Bournemouth's Kerkez in £40m deal, eye long-term Robertson successor
LONDON, June 27 — Liverpool on Thursday announced they had completed the £40 million (RM232 million) signing of Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez. The 21-year-old, who has penned a five-year deal, is the third major signing of the transfer window for the Premier League champions following the arrival of Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz. Germany midfielder Wirtz was signed for a club-record fee that could reportedly rise to £116 million. With Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili joining next month in a deal done 12 months ago there will be more than £200 million of new talent present when pre-season training starts. Left-back Kerkez is viewed as the long-term successor to 31-year-old Andy Robertson, who is a target for Atletico Madrid. 'I'm really happy,' said the Hungary international. 'It's a real honour for me, a privilege to come to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world, the biggest club in England. I'm just really, really happy and excited. 'After this, I'll go home and in my hometown enjoy a few days, and then I can't really wait to come back and put the training kit on and start to train and prepare for the season.' Kerkez made 74 appearances for Bournemouth after joining from AZ Alkmaar two years ago, scoring twice. 'I just want to thank everyone for really showing me big love, even before it will be announced.' — AFP
