'A lot of speculation'

BBC News5 hours ago

Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock is uncertain on Harvey Elliott's Reds future despite him shining for England Under-21s at the European Championships. Elliott has made 147 appearances, scoring 15 goals, in his six years at Liverpool since joining from Fulham as a teenager.The 22-year-old made 18 league appearances under Arne Slot last season, but his only two starts were when Liverpool had already won the league."There's a lot of speculation about 'will he be at Liverpool next year?'," said Warnock. "That's not easy."There will be phone calls with his agent. It's very much a rollercoaster as the tournament goes on."Because of the amount of games he has played for Liverpool, and the impact he had coming in, I think we all thought he would catapult and play for a long time in the first team."But he has a World Cup winner in Alexis Mac Allister in front of him, Ryan Gravenberch had an unbelievable season and Dominik Szoboszlai was brought in for big money."He has got great quality - but you just feel you want him to do it more consistently."

EFL stadium kitted out with £7m of equipment from the Millennium Dome with kids' play area turned into training centre

AN EFL stadium is packed to the Gills with trinkets from the Millennium Dome. Priestfield Stadium has been home to Gillingham since the club's formation in 1893. 3 3 3 Former Gills chairman Paul Scally grabbed a selection of bargains after the infamous London project was phased out in 2001. The government auctioned off thousands of items following the Dome's demise. Scally - who bought Gillingham for £1 in 1995 - spotted an opportunity. And the 69-year-old got carried away with his bidding at the auction 23 years ago. Scally estimates the club received up to £7million worth of equipment after shelling out just £750,000. The purchases helped Gillingham refurbish a new Priestfields stand at a knock-down price. While the club megastore boasted £250,000 of fittings bought for just £5,000. Scally explained to Sky Sports: "It was a case of being in the right place at the right time. "I've bought tea trolleys, ovens, fire extinguishers, 300 sets of bone china, glasses and all sorts on top of the bigger stuff. "This has allowed us to move the club forward quicker than I had envisaged. We just kept going back to the site for more gear. Abandoned EFL stadium left to rot with pitch covered in weeds just five years after hosting final match "I bought a seven-and-a-half ton lorry to transport everything and we must have made 100 trips to Greenwich. "I've had to borrow a 10,000 sq ft warehouse off a mate because there isn't enough room at the ground for everything." Scally also managed to get his hands on a new indoor training centre. Valued at £1.5million, the Gills chairman converted an 80m x 40m play area from the Dome for just £70,000. Scally gained control of the club in 1995 for a nominal fee of £1, but also took on its £1.5m debt. He sold his controlling stake to US property magnate Brad Galinson in December 2022, while continuing as a non-executive director. Scally was voted off the club's board last year. Gillingham are currently in League Two, having bounced around the third and four tiers for the past two decades. They spent five seasons in the Championship from 2000, but have not returned since relegation in 2005.

Who is Matteo Berrettini's ex-girlfriend Melissa Satta?

WIMBLEDON finalist Matteo Berrettini's love life has often caused quite a stir, none more so than his most recent ex-girlfriend. TV presenter and professional WAG - there's a lot of gossip about her online, but who is Melissa Satta? 5 Who is Matteo Berrettini's ex-girlfriend Melissa Satta? Melissa Satta is a multi-talented dual national, holding both Italian and American citizenship. Satta was born to Sardinian-native parents in Boston, America, on February 7, 1986. She has a passion for sport, competing in karate and football to a high level. The 39-year-old now resides in Italy and has worked as a guest presenter on Sky Sport Italy's football show Calcio Club as well hosted the Ryder Cup when it was hosted in Italy for the first time ever in 2023. She was also a host of the talent show Missione Beauty and boasts an impressive 4.8 million followers on Instagram as of June 2025. 5 Why did Berrettini and Melissa Satta break up? Melissa went public with professional tennis player and compatriot Matteo Berrettini in January 2023. They first met at a dinner in Miami, staying in touch after they swapped telephone numbers. She followed him on parts of the ATP Tour and was there to watch him crash out of Wimbledon against Carlos Alcaraz in the Round of 16 in 2023. 5 5 It is believed that the couple separated amicably but the Italian stallion admitted that there were difficulties. After their breakup, Berrettini shared: 'Melissa Satta and I are no longer together. 'What I can say is that we had a beautiful, intense relationship and we have great respect for each other. 'I won't go beyond this, I don't like sharing my private life too much. Nothing special happened." He added: 'I must thank her for this period we lived together very intensely despite all the difficulties.' Who are Melissa Satta's exes? Christian Vieri (2006-2011) In her long dating history, Melissa was in a relationship with former Italy and Inter Milan striker Christian Vieri. They dated for five years between 2006 and 2011, but allegedly, her infidelity meant the spark between them died out. Kobe Bryant (2011) After this, Melissa started an affair with the late Kobe Bryant, which was the catalyst for the LA Lakers legend's wife to file for divorce. Melissa continued her collection of sports star romances when she married former Barcelona star Kevin-Prince Boateng in June 2016. Kevin-Prince Boateng (2016-2020) Melissa is no stranger to a public relationship, having dated and had affairs with some of the biggest names in the sporting world. 5 The couple met in 2011 and the eventual marriage resulted in them having a son, Maddox Prince, who is now nine years old. The marriage failed, however, after they divorced in 2020. Their sex life hit headlines after she and her ex-husband overshared about what goes on behind closed doors. After only one year together, Melissa said: "The reason Kevin is injured so often is because we have sex seven to ten times a week. "I hate foreplay, I want to go straight for it. I prefer to be on top so that I can be in control." There is little known about Melissa's current dating adventures, and it is believed she is currently single.

Former Man Utd star, 53, looks unrecognisable as he reunites with two Treble-winning former team-mates

MANCHESTER UNITED Treble winners Jaap Stam and Wes Brown reunited with an unrecognisable former Red Devils star. Legendary defender Stam shared a picture of the trio posing with the Treble trophies to his Instagram page. 4 4 The Dutchman, 52, captioned his post: "Great to meet up again with these two great personalities to share thoughts about the future and dwell on the past!" Stam was an integral part of Man Utd's Treble-winning campaign, playing 51 games in all competitions as Sir Alex Ferguson 's side became the first ever English club to lift the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup all in the same season. Brown, 45, had only recently broken through from the academy at Old Trafford, but played 21 games in the Treble campaign, before going on to become a mainstay at the club until 2011. However, the third member of their party, now 53, looks completely different to his playing days with Man Utd. The former winger used to be instantly recognisable with his flowing long hair and clean-shaven look. He signed for the club in a deal worth £3.5million immediately following a stellar tournament for Czechia at Euro 1996, where the country finished as runners-up to Germany. However, the growing prominence of the Class of '92's David Beckham in his position meant he became more and more sidelined. Overall, he stayed in England for one and a half seasons, leaving to sign for Benfica in December 1997 after making 48 appearances and scoring six goals. The name of the star in question... Karel Poborsky. For his reunion with Stam and Brown, he had ditched his long locks for a shorter cut with noticeably darker hair. Man Utd legend Wayne Rooney lands new job working alongside fellow Premier League icon He has also added some facial hair to his face, and he was also seen wearing some shades. Poborsky never won the Treble with Man Utd, but did leave with a Premier League winners' medal for the 1996/97 season. After leaving Man Utd, he stayed with Benfica until 2000 before starring for Lazio, Sparta Prague and Dynamo České Budějovice and retiring in 2007. He also earned 118 caps for his national team and is ranked second behind Chelsea icon and goalkeeper Petr Cech for most appearances for the Czech national team. Poborsky is perhaps most well-remembered for his stunning chip goal at Euro 1996 against Portugal. Since retiring, he has taken up punditry work and has appeared on Canal+ Sport in his homeland while also appearing in the odd charity game, including the Man Utd Legends of the North game in 2022. 4 4
