Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez attracting overseas transfer interest

Darwin Nunez is attracting interest from AC Milan and Al Hilal, with Liverpool reportedly willing to sell the striker for the right price. Liverpool recently signed Hugo Ekitike for £69m and had a £110m bid for Alexander Isak rejected by Newcastle. Nunez, Liverpool's club-record signing in 2022, scored only seven goals in 47 appearances last season, often featuring as a substitute. AC Milan has raised funds from player sales, potentially enabling a move for Nunez, following an earlier bid from Napoli. Liverpool is set to raise significant transfer funds this summer, with Tyler Morton nearing a £15m move to Lyon and West Ham and Wolves interested in Ben Doak.

Toto Wolff speaks out about Lewis Hamilton amid Ferrari woes

Toto Wolff, Mercedes boss, has expressed confidence that Lewis Hamilton can still win an eighth Formula 1 world championship, despite his current struggles at Ferrari. Hamilton recently described his performances as "useless" after finishing 12th in Hungary, having not secured a podium finish in the current season. Wolff praised Hamilton's "emotional transparency" and affirmed that he remains the "GOAT" (greatest of all time) with "unfinished business" in F1. Wolff suggested Hamilton's current difficulties are linked to the car not providing the feedback he desires, similar to recent Mercedes vehicles. He believes that new car designs and power units for next year could enable Hamilton to perform better and achieve his championship goal at Ferrari.

Futures Bet: England are 5/2 outsiders to win The Ashes in Australia later this year - as Brendon McCullum's side look to put Monday's dramatic fifth Test loss to India behind them

In what was one of the most dramatic, thrilling and intense finishes to a Test match in recent memory, India defeated England by six runs on Day Five at The Oval to draw the series 2-2. England were heavily favoured to get the job done on the final day of the series - with Brendon McCullum's side having four wickets in hand and needing just 35 runs to win. India's Mohammed Siraj had different ideas however - as the talented quick took three of England's final four wickets en route to a memorable victory for the visitors. With us just a day removed from England's collapse in the fifth Test - attention immediately turns to how Ben Stokes and Co will fare in The Ashes in Australia later this year. They aren't tipped to win back the urn when looking at the betting lines - with England 5/2 outsiders to reign supreme Down Under. Meanwhile, Australia are odds-on favourites at 1/2 to claim their fourth straight Ashes series win on home soil. Lastly, for those anticipating a drawn series, that is the widest result in the market at 7/1 odds. Sky Bet odds to win The Ashes (2025-26): Australia 1/2 England 5/2 Draw 7/1
