Palace's Eze on verge of Arsenal move as he misses European tie
Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze appeared to be moving closer to a transfer to Arsenal worth a reported £60 million ($81 million) after the England international was left out of the Eagles' team for their European tie on Thursday. There was no place for Eze in either the starting 11 or on the substitutes bench selected by Palace boss Oliver Glasner for the Conference League play-off at home to Fredrikstad. The 27-year-old attacking midfielder may now miss out on a final farewell to the Selhurst Park faithful for whom he is a hero after scoring the winning goal in Palace's FA Cup final triumph over Manchester City at Wembley in May -- the first time the south London club had lifted a major trophy. Tottenham Hotspur appeared to be on course to sign Eze during the Premier League's ongoing summer transfer window but that deal seems to have been scuppered by their arch north London rivals Arsenal. Were Eze, released by Arsenal as a 13-year-old, to join the Gunners he would become their seventh signing of the window and take their spending in this transfer period to beyond £250 million, with striker Viktor Gyokeres and midfielder Martin Zubimendi among those to have already made recent high-profile moves to the Emirates. The Gunners' interest in Eze intensified this week following a knee injury suffered by Kai Havertz. The Germany international came on as a second-half substitute in Arsenal's 1-0 win over Manchester United in their opening Premier League game of the new season last week and completed the match. Havertz, however, but did not feature in the club's open training session at the Emirates on Wednesday. It is unclear how long Havertz will be on the sidelines but Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta appears keen to strengthen his squad regardless as he bids to lead the Gunners to their first Premier League title in 22 years, having finished runners-up to Liverpool last season. Spurs, by contrast, ended the campaign in a lowly 17th place, although they did win the Europa League final. Arteta is due to speak to the media on Friday to preview Arsenal's league match away to Leeds on Saturday. jdg/pb

Northwestern reaches settlement with football coach who was fired amid hazing scandal
CHICAGO (AP) — Northwestern University has reached a settlement with former longtime football coach Pat Fitzgerald two years after he sued the prestigious school amid a team hazing scandal, attorneys and the school announced Thursday. 'Though I maintain Northwestern had no legal basis to terminate my employment for cause under the terms of my Employment Agreement, in the interest of resolving this matter and, in particular, to relieve my family from the stress of ongoing litigation, Northwestern and I have agreed to a settlement," Fitzgerald said in a statement through his attorneys. Details of the settlement weren't made public. The private university in the Chicago suburb of Evanston has been reeling from the scandal that rocked the athletic department. Former football players filed the first lawsuits in 2023, alleging sexual abuse and racial discrimination on the team. Similar allegations then spread across several sports. Fitzgerald was initially suspended then later fired after an investigation. The school concluded that he had a responsibility to know that hazing was occurring and should have stopped it. Fitzgerald denied wrongdoing and sued for $130 million. He alleged the school illegally terminated his employment and damaged his reputation, among other things. His case was set to go to trial in November. Last year, a judge consolidated his complaint and the student lawsuits for the discovery process. Dozens of students provided testimony that was used for both cases. The school settled lawsuits brought by former football players earlier this year. Fitzgerald said Thursday that the 'rush to judgement' following the lawsuits caused his family stress, embarrassment and reputational harm. 'I have engaged in a process of extensive fact and expert discovery, which showed what I have known and said all along — that I had no knowledge of hazing ever occurring in the Northwestern football program, and that I never directed or encouraged hazing in any way,' he said. On Thursday, Northwestern echoed the same sentiment. 'The evidence uncovered during extensive discovery did not establish that any player reported hazing to Coach Fitzgerald or that Coach Fitzgerald condoned or directed any hazing,' the university said in a statement. 'When presented with the details of the conduct, he was incredibly upset and saddened by the negative impact this conduct had on players within the program.' Northwestern hired former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch in July 2023 to lead an investigation into the culture of the school's athletic department. The school says it has since taken steps to improve, including adding more anti-hazing training requirements for athletes and additional steps to report hazing.
