Chelsea sign Strasbourg's Mamadou Sarr on eight-year deal
Chelsea have completed the signing of Mamadou Sarr from Strasbourg on a contract through to 2033. In January, the clubs reached a €14million (£11.9m; $14.4m) agreement for the centre-back to move at the end of the season. The France Under-20 international has been signed in time to be included in Enzo Maresca's squad for the Club World Cup. Ligue 1 club Strasbourg and Chelsea are owned by BlueCo, the multi-club ownership group. Welcome to Chelsea, Mamadou Sarr! 🔵 — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) June 9, 2025 The 19-year-old defender has signed an eight-year deal at Chelsea after making 28 first-team appearances in 2024-25 for Strasbourg, who qualified for next season's Conference League through their seventh-place league finish. Sarr spent six years in the Lens youth academy before spending six seasons at Lyon and spending the 2023-24 campaign on loan at Belgian side RWD Molenbeek. Analysis by Simon Johnson Chelsea rate Sarr highly and always wanted him to join up with the squad as soon as possible. He will be part of the senior group that is going to USA to play at the FIFA World Cup and it gives him an opportunity to learn Enzo Maresca's methods as well as getting to know his new team-mates. Advertisement There are obviously other centre-backs at the club ahead of the 19-year-old in the pecking order. He is still relatively inexperienced and has to adapt to English football. But after considering loaning him back to Strasbourg at one point, Chelsea now look keen to have him involved. The squad will come under greater strain next season now that they are back in the Champions League. While Chelsea have not ruled out buying another centre back this summer, they do not feel under pressure to do so and Sarr is one of the reasons why. (Sathire Kelpa/Eurasia)

Adam Sandler to cast Ravens RB Derrick Henry in movie if he rushes for 2,000 yards in 2025
We've seen plenty of sports stars make movie cameos throughout the years, from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 'Airplane!' to Dan Marino in 'Ace Ventura: Pet Detective' and finally Michael Jordan and a plethora of NBA stars in the iconic 'Space Jam.' And we could see another one soon thanks to a bet between Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry and actor Adam Sandler. Henry, who is a self-professed superfan of Sandler's work, agreed to a wager during an appearance on 'The Dan Patrick Show' where if he reaches 2,000 rushing yards in the 2025 season, Patrick would get the running back in a film alongside Sandler. Henry agreed to the proposal and the veteran sportscaster reached out to his friend Sandler. In response, the 'Uncut Gems' and 'Happy Gilmore' star sent a personal video for Henry which was shown to the 31-year-old at practice. 'Yo, Derrick, I just woke up. You know that, that's why I look disgusting, on top of the fact that I am disgusting, but I love ya. Congrats on everything, baby,' Sandler said to Henry. '2,000-plus (yards) this year not only gets you in a movie, but we'll have a nice dinner together and talk about Dan Patrick's facial hair and how hard it is for him to grow it.I love ya and keep it up.' Henry replied to the video on social media afterwards, saying: 'Dan you're a real one! Adam Sandler is da (GOAT)!! I appreciate the extra motivation!' Henry has already surpassed the 2,000 rushing yards mark in a season before, doing so in 2020 when he ran for 2,027 yards while with the Tennessee Titans. Last season, Henry finished just 79 yards short of 2,000 yards, finishing with 1,921 in his first season with the Baltimore Ravens. He is one of just nine running backs ever to reach the milestone and would become the first ever player to do it twice if he was to do it again. Earlier this offseason, Henry signed a two-year, $30 million contract extension with the Ravens. And despite being one of the older running backs in the league, he says he's not concerned about his age. 'I want to be great,' Henry told. 'No matter how good it is or how bad it is, I'm always focused on me trying to get better each and every day and each and every way I can. I think, for you to be great, you have to focus on being consistent. You got to outwork everybody and that's the approach I have to take. 'I love football. I love playing. I know people look at the age, but I don't really try to focus on that. I just focus on: how can Derrick Henry be better? How can Derrick Henry help the Ravens get to where they want to get to?'
