Arsenal handed boost in pursuit of Benjamin Sesko
Arsenal have been handed a major transfer boost in their pursuit of RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko. According to Simon Collings, the Slovenians' 'preference and priority' would be to continue playing his football in Europe despite approaches from Saudi clubs.
Two clubs from the Saudi Pro League have made approaches for Sesko in the past month but the 22-year-old, who scored 13 goals and provided five assists in 33 Bundesliga appearances, has no intention of switching continent if he was to leave RB Leipzig this summer.

'At his age, he shouldn't go. If someone from there is interested, it's a form of recognition,' Slovenia manager Matjaz Kek told Nogomania, via The Standard.
Sesko has a contract with RB Leipzig until 2029 but is likely to depart the club after their failure to qualify for European football next season. As reported by our colleagues at Get German Football News, any potential suitor must pay the reported €80m exit clause.

Saints learn dates as EFL confirm Carabao Cup info with unusual new round
A general view of the Carabao Cup Trophy ahead of the 2025 Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium, London. (Image: PA) SAINTS will enter the Carabao Cup first round to be played week commencing Monday, August 11, at the start of the 2025/26 season. But a new preliminary round will be played for the first time a week earlier, due to nine Premier League teams being involved in European competition. Advertisement The format of the Carabao Cup will be amended to introduce a four-team preliminary qualifying round, to reduce the number of qualified clubs. Those European-competing clubs will then join the competition in the third round, as they did last season, with a total of 32 clubs remaining. The preliminary round will consist of the two promoted clubs from the National League (Barnet and Oldham Athletic) and the clubs finishing in 21st and 22nd place in League Two (Accrington Stanley and Newport County) last season. The ties will be regionalised North and South as they are in round one, with Accrington playing Oldham and Barnet playing Newport County. Advertisement The Carabao Cup round one draw will take place live on Sky Sports News at 4:30pm on Thursday, June 26, as part of the EFL's fixture release day.

Christian Pulisic defends USMNT absence, hits back on 'out of line' criticism
More than two weeks after Christian Pulisic asked U.S. men's national team coach Mauricio Pochettino for permission to skip this summer's Concacaf Gold Cup, the AC Milan star finally opened up about his decision – and revealed that he wanted to be with the USMNT for it's two pre-Gold Cup friendlies, a request that was denied by Pochettino and his staff. "Obviously, it sucks for me to miss out with the team," Pulisic told former U.S. players Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Tony Meola on Thursday on their CBS Sports podcast. "I want to be a part of the team always. "Towards the end of the season, my body just started talking to me, and my mind, and then I started to think 'what is going to be best for me leading into next year and going into the World Cup?'," he continued. "Was that to play eight more games and then get no rest at all, go straight into preseason [with Milan] and then grind another year and go straight into the World Cup? That's not what I felt was best for my body." But Pulsic was willing to join the USMNT for FIFA's June international window, during which the U.S. hosted European foes Türkiye and Switzerland, the world's 27th and 20th-ranked teams, and then take a break after that. Pochettino could've used him. "I did want to be a part of at least the two friendlies," Pulisic said. "I did speak with the coaches, and then I asked, and I wanted to be a part of the team and whatever capacity I could. And they said no. They said they only wanted one roster. "And that's the coach's decision," he added. "I fully respect that. I didn't understand it, but it is what it is." With Pulisic watching from home, the Americans lost both matches, including a 4-0 drubbing by the Swiss in Nashville on Tuesday. "The results have been tough, for sure," he said. "It was difficult to watch the last game." Pulisic struggled with soft-tissue injuries early in his career, but he has played 100 games for the Rossoneri over the last two European seasons. He said that his desire to be at his peak next June, when the U.S., Canada and Mexico host the first 48-team World Cup, influenced his thinking about this summer. "I had to make the best decision for myself and, in the long run for my [national] team," he said. "Even though, clearly, some people haven't seen it." Pulisic has faced significant criticism for skipping the Gold Cup, partly because he hadn't – until Thursday – provided an explanation himself. Some of that blow-back has come from former national team players, most notably Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey, the joint-top scorers in USMNT history. Pulisic's father even responded publicly to Donovan, who is now an analyst with FOX Sports. "It's tough because I looked up to those guys growing up," Pulsiic said. "Some of these guys were my idols, and I respect them so much as players. And it's tough, especially when you know some of them as well. Privately, the way they talk to me and clearly want to show support, and, be your friend and everything. And then they say something slightly different publicly. And that's, that's fine. It doesn't hurt me. Am I surprised by it? I don't know, not really. People are always going to have their opinions." Still, he took issue with anyone who is skeptical of his dedication to the USMNT. "To question my commitment, especially towards the national team, in my opinion that's that's way out of line," Pulisic said. "I've never missed a game in all my years in the national team due to anything but an injury. I want to be there at all times. Sometimes you have to make decisions. "This is the right decision, like I said, for myself and for the team. At the end of the day, people will see that."

Former PSG midfielder Marco Verratti set to join Al-Duhail
Two years after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, Marco Verratti (32) is on the move again – but staying in Qatar. According to Foot Mercato, the Italian international will join Al-Duhail on a free transfer after two seasons with Al-Arabi. The ex-PSG midfielder, who amassed 416 appearances for the club between 2012 and 2023, scored four goals and provided four assists in the Qatari top flight this season. However, his contributions were not enough to lift Al-Arabi higher than 9th place in the 12-team league. Advertisement Verratti will now join the reigning Qatari league runners-up, Al-Duhail, where he'll link up with fellow European exports Benjamin Bourigeaud (formerly of Rennes), Luis Alberto, and Hakim Ziyech. Christophe Galtier, who coached Verratti briefly in Paris, recently left Al-Duhail after declining to extend his contract. Verratti spent over a decade at PSG, making 416 appearances, scoring 11 goals, and lifting nine Ligue 1 titles. He was present at the Champions League final won by his former club, covering the match for Italian TV. GFFN | George Boxall
