European Darts Grand Prix 2025: Schedule, results, start time, stream, TV channel for huge tournament in Germany
SOME of the world's best throwers head to Germany for the return of the European Darts Open!
It was an unforgettable moment last year for Gary Anderson as the Scotsman secured his first European tour title since 2014 by defeating Rob Cross 8-6 in the final.

And the defending champion is back for more, hoping to defend his crown in front of a loud Glaspalast crowd.
However, Anderson will certainly have his work cut out as several household names are set to feature.
This includes reigning world number one, Luke Humphries and three-time world champion, Michael van Gerwen but Luke Littler will not compete at this tournament.
Remarkably, there have been as many as nine different winners in ten editions, so there is every chance someone new could be on the throne by the end of the tournament.

Steve Clarke owes Scotland only one thing and if he can't guarantee it then he should walk away
It doesn't mention it in the manual and they don't hand it out with the coaching badges either. But, somewhere along the line, in order to even want to be a manager these days, it seems as if nursing masochistic tendencies is almost a prerequisite. Really, why else would they put themselves through it? Why would Russell Martin, for example, have stalled for so long on taking an easy life at Leicester City in order to throw himself into the lion's den at Ibrox? Martin hasn't even clocked into Auchenhowie for his first day in the office but he is well aware already there are Rangers supporters out there who would prefer that he didn't bother. The same goes for Steven Pressley at Dundee even though he's currently celebrating his 25th wedding anniversary in Vietnam and has still to set foot back in the city he once called home. He's about to discover a far more arduous marriage awaits. Barry Ferguson, meanwhile, is relaxing with the family in the Greek sunshine but probably still simmering a little inside at the manner with which he was waved off to the airport by Kevin Thelwell and Gretar Steinsson. Ange Postecoglu will be hitting a beach too with a big fat redundo cheque in the back pocket of his togs, after doing the impossible and winning a trophy for Spurs and getting sacked off by them for his trouble. And then there's the curious case of Steve Clarke - the man who ushered Scotland back in from the wilderness years - but who now stands accused of botching the job with the most talented group of players the country has assembled in decades. It all feels a little bit like touch and go right now for Clarke ahead of the friendly in Liechtenstein - on the back of a pride crushing defeat at home to Iceland on Friday night. Any more missteps at the Rheinpark Stadium and he'd be better off hiding out in Vaduz for the summer rather than returning to Glasgow Airport on Scotland's team charter, where only misery and malevolence will be waiting for him at arrivals. It won't happen, of course. No matter what side Clarke cobbles together - and even if the unfortunate Cieran Slicker remains in goal - Scotland will still have enough about them to get out of town with a win against the Lilliputians of the European game. And it will mean absolutely nothing in any case. Because there are Scotland fans out there who have decided that Clarke's time ought to be up. That he's taken this team just as far as he can. Perhaps, that some of the star performers in his team have outgrown him along the way. And, in all honesty, all of the above may well be correct. But here's the thing about Clarke. After leading Scotland to successive European Championships he owes us almost nothing at all. Nothing, that is, apart from complete and utter honesty. If deep down he truly believes he's still the man for the job and that these players of his are receptive to his messaging and instructions, then he has more than earned the right to have a crack at taking them to the next World Cup before bowing out from the position. If, however, he is experiencing any self doubt or feeling as if he's got little more to give, then he should walk away from it with his held high and with a nation's gratitude for the tournaments that he has delivered. It really is as simple as that where Clarke and Scotland are concerned. If he wants to continue in the job one last campaign then he should be allowed to do exactly that. But he has to be certain. And he must be honest to himself. Because the squad he has nurtured and brought to this point cannot be hindered or hamstrung by the man in charge nor can it have its growth stunted at this moment in time, when it feels as if it should be capable of trading blows with the giants. If Clarke is feeling jaded or fatigued by it all, after six years in charge, then he should step aside immediately and let someone else have a go while the likes of Kieran Tierney, Andy Robertson, Scott McTominay, Billy Gilmour, Lewis Ferguson and John McGinn are operating at the peak of their powers. These players deserve to be paraded on the biggest stage of all and it's not inconceivable that the likes of Postecoglou or even former Rangers interim Ferguson might connect with them and accelerate their collective development. But that's all down to how Clarke sees things. And rightly so. He gets to decide his own fate where this gig is concerned. Sadly, the same cannot be said for new Rangers boss Martin who is already a hostage to fortune in terms of his job security, even though he's not even started working with his players on the training ground yet. Martin is an articulate, highly intelligent and very likeable young manager. That he has such an ardent and clear view on how he wants the game to be played is another admirable trait. If it works, then he could have the kind of transformational impact on Rangers that Postecoglou had across the city at Parkhead. Let's not forget, a large section of Celtic's supporters were also completely underwhelmed by the big Aussie's appointment when he was rushed into the position after Eddie Howe had taken cold feet at the eleventh hour. But that's where the similarities end. Postecoglou had a track record of trophies and triumphs behind him before he arrived in Glasgow. Martin has the wreckage of a relegation season with Southampton still smouldering in his rear view mirror. All of which means the new man will start next season under the cosh with a support which already suspects the worst of him. Unlike Clarke and Scotland, Martin has deposited nothing whatsoever in the bank of goodwill so - in order to build up some early credit - he will have to be absolutely immaculate in the manner with which he goes about his work over the first few weeks and months of the season. And, given the woeful state of the squad he is inheriting, the chances of that happening seem remote at the very best. Martin must truly believe in himself, in his philosophy and in his staff, or else he wouldn't have touched this task with a bargepole. And that courage in his convictions is to be respected, especially considering the offer he had to slip back down into the quiet life of England's Championship at the King Power. Instead, he has chosen to step into a furnace. All of which just adds weight to the theory that you don't have to be a masochist to be a football manager. But it certainly seems to help.

Gary Lineker surprised by Arsenal transfer stance after £30m man completes move
Arsenal are in the market for a new striker this summer and Gary Lineker was surprised the Gunners did not appear to target new Chelsea signing Liam Delap Gary Lineker has expressed his surprise that Arsenal overlooked Liam Delap in their quest for a new striker. The 22-year-old forward recently joined Chelsea from Ipswich Town. The Gunners have identified signing a new number nine as a priority in the summer transfer window, with discussions underway for RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko and links to Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres. Manager Mikel Arteta will hope that signing a centre forward will be the key to ending the club's over two-decade wait for a Premier League title. While Arsenal are in the process of bringing in a striker, Chelsea swooped in to activate the £30million release clause in Delap's Ipswich contract. Praising the move, Lineker thinks the forward should have been a top target for Arsenal. "Delap to Chelsea, interesting one," Lineker said on The Rest Is Football podcast. "I thought maybe Arsenal would go for him. Perhaps they did, I don't know, but Chelsea have got their man. "We'd said, didn't we, many times that Chelsea needed backup for [Nicolas] Jackson up top or an alternative. I think he's a young, exciting centre forward. I saw someone, I can't remember who it was, said they saw a bit of a young Alan Shearer in him. "I think that's the only thing that Chelsea were missing. I mean, Jackson's got something in him, but his finishing is not as good as it could be. And if Delap does realise his full potential, then that might just be the missing ingredient." While Lineker discussed what Delap could bring to Chelsea, it mirrors the qualities Arsenal have been lacking in equal measure. Lineker likened him to a young Shearer, and the Newcastle United legend commended the new Chelsea man's style of play. "I think he's a bit old-fashioned. He's like a throwback from what a centre forward was maybe 20, 30 years ago, where they were all in fashion," Shearer said. "He's always like aggressive, horrible to play against, doesn't mind mixing it up, and obviously scores goals. "I mean, the number of goals he scored in a really struggling team, that is only going to get better. I think at his age, the ability he's got now, I think he's got a really bright future and I like him." The 22-year-old netted 12 league goals for an Ipswich side that suffered relegation, finishing 16 points behind Tottenham Hotspur in 17th place. Meanwhile, Sesko, who is the same age as Delap, bagged 21 goals in all competitions for a Leipzig side that competed in the Champions League and narrowly missed out on the European places in the Bundesliga. The Slovenia international has played in European competitions for the last four seasons and scored 39 goals in 87 games during his two-year spell with Leipzig. Given his more established record for a side in one of Europe's top five leagues, combined with his potential to improve, it's far from unreasonable for Arsenal to have opted to target him over other options. However, any potential deal for Sesko could break Arsenal's £60m transfer record, currently held by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The 22-year-old forward was previously linked with a move to the Gunners in 2024 but signed a new contract last summer, thus increasing his market value. The absence of a consistent goalscorer at Arsenal was glaringly obvious this season. Kai Havertz led the scoring charts with just nine league goals despite a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to injury. This lack of a prolific striker played a significant role in finishing 10 points adrift of Premier League champions Liverpool.

Donnarumma's agent has already ruled out one transfer as Man Utd talks emerge
Paris Saint-Germain star Gianluigi Donnarumma has been linked with a sensational summer switch to Manchester United and his agent has already offered his thoughts on a switch Gianluigi Donnarumma's agent has already dismissed one potential rival to Manchester United by ruling out a switch to Napoli. The Italian goalkeeper faces an uncertain future with European champions Paris Saint-Germain. He has just a year left on his deal with the French giants and despite PSG chiefs attempting to tie him down, an agreement has yet to be found. That has opened the door to United, rivals Manchester City and Real Madrid. Reports have also suggested that that Donnarumma has been discussing the prospect of a move to the Premier League with his Italian teammates. Meanwhile, Donnarumma's agent Enzo Raiola has already denied that talks have been held with Serie A champions Napoli, who were also credited with an interest. Speaking to Radio CRC via Calciomercato, he said: "It's pure fantasy. I've an excellent relationship with Director Giovanni Manna at [Napoli], but we've never discussed Gigio. "It's an obvious question; many would like him, but only a few can afford him. He feels good in Paris, we're at the European champion club, so we have no complaints. We are working on a renewal [with PSG]." He added: "His mother is a huge Napoli fan, and she gets anxious watching their games. Gigio is connected to that.' Another side who have been linked with Donnarumma is former club AC Milan. The 26-year-old originally left the club to complete a free transfer to PSG in 2021. And Raiola has claimed that he would be open to a return to the San Siro. He said: 'I have never ruled out interest from the top Italian clubs, but there has never been a negotiation, let's see. He is still young, I have to squeeze him for at least another 10 years. 'At the moment, however, it is very difficult to see Donnarumma in the Italian championship, I'm not just talking about numbers but also about the sporting project. In Italy, beyond Inter who reached the Champions League final, there are Milan and Juve who are struggling, they are in the process of reorganizing: these factors are fundamental. "A return to Milan? Why not? We took Pogba from Manchester United to Juventus and then back to Juventus. There are no impossible things. Milan, even if it is not at its best, is always a very respectable club, which Gigio will always thank. They pampered and raised him, so Gigio will always have an important affection and gratitude towards the Rossoneri.' Donnarumma has already spoken out on his own future and refused to commit his future to PSG. He said: 'New deal or leaving? We will see what happens… I don't know. It's time to enjoy this magic season now. I will go on holiday and then we will see.'
