Struggling former Real Madrid striker and son of Chelsea favourite considering leaving Gent for Preston or Utrecht
The 23-year-old Gudjohnsen joined Gent from Danish side Lyngby, where he had scored an impressive 15 goals in 33 games. Gudjohnsen spent time as a youngster in the Real Madrid academy. In 2022 he left Spain for Sweden to play for IFK Norrkoping. Yet the striker failed to take off in the Allsvenskan, scoring just one goal in 33 games.
For Gent, Gudjohnsen struggled to nail down a starting spot. Despite this the 23-year-old played 46 games across all competitions, scoring five goals. Perhaps a change of scenery, either in England with Preston or the Netherlands, will be enough for Gudjohnsen to rediscover his Danish form.

Thomas Frank toasts perfect start to Premier League life at Tottenham
Thomas Frank toasted the perfect start to life at Tottenham in the Premier League after a 3-0 win over Burnley, but joked Richarlison already had their goal of the season. Frank's managerial debut for Spurs on Wednesday almost ended with silverware, but Paris St Germain fought back from two down late on to clinch Super Cup success on penalties. Former Brentford head coach Frank had warned newly-promoted Burnley would pose a stern test and yet a double by Richarlison secured a first league win since April 6. Richarlison steered home the opener after 10 minutes before his second goal on the hour mark was a superb volley from a Mohammed Kudus cross and Brennan Johnson added another – six minutes later – on a tough top-flight return for Burnley boss Scott Parker at his old club. 'Perfect start or dream start,' Frank reflected. 'We all know we need to follow up on it. Today I will just enjoy it and I hope the players, the club and the fans enjoy it because that is important. 'I think overall it was a good performance, not through the roof. A good performance against a difficult opponent. 'It's never easy in the Premier League – we know that – and after the very short turnaround against PSG. 'Big positive; our medical department and performance department did a top job to make sure the players were ready to go. I think we had eight starters again so that I am happy with.' Richarlison impressed in a 2-2 draw with PSG before Spurs lost on penalties and retained his place with £65million forward Dominic Solanke only recently fit again after an ankle issue. After a largely injury-affected three years at Tottenham, Brazil international Richarlison may have left this summer if a suitable offer was tabled but remains part of the squad and Frank is excited to get more consistency out of the 28-year-old. He added: 'Fantastic he is scoring. The first one is definitely easier to score without being easy, but I have a striker that takes those two chances and helps us win the game. 'He deserves a lot of praise. He was very good against PSG and today he was exceptional, with his work-rate, driving the team, link-up play, hold-up play, just dominating and then the two finishes. 'So happy on his behalf and again, performance department, medical department did a top job to build him. 'Second goal 17 passes in the team I have been told, every player touched the ball and finished with two top actions. 'First from Mohammed Kudus and then second, an exceptional finish by Richarlison. I'm a little disappointed that so early we have goal of the season – but must be a contender.' Spurs boss Frank revealed Yves Bissouma, who was dropped for the Super Cup for repeatedly being late for training, missed this fixture due to injury. Burnley had created a number of first-half chances, but were punished for a lack of clinical edge in both boxes. 'It's really fine margins of the Premier League and that's probably the main thing to come out of it today,' Parker admitted. 'The clinicalness of the Premier League, they produce an outstanding, world-class finish to see the game away from us, but I saw some real positives. 'We're disappointed because we came here to try to get a result, but overall there were some really pleasing things.'

TreVeyon Henderson scored another preseason touchdown for Patriots, leaving Mike Vrabel speechless
Another week, another preseason touchdown for Patriots rookie TreVeyon Henderson. After returning the opening kickoff in New England's preseason opener last week, Henderson found the end zone on the ground in preseason game No. 2 against the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday afternoon. Henderson capped off New England's second possession of the game with an 8-yard scoring run. Henderson found a hole as he burst up the left side, bounced off one would-be tackler, and then shed another tackle as he churned his way to paydirt to put New England on top, 7-0. Even head coach Mike Vrabel couldn't believe Henderson's speed and power on the touchdown scamper. Henderson carried the ball four times on New England's second possession and picked up 20 yards on the ground. Two of his rushers went stopped for no gain, but he also ran for 11 yards on a third-and-10 to keep the drive alive for the Patriots. His touchdown capped off a nine-play, 52-yard drive for the Patriots offense. The second-round pick out of Ohio State had a strong preseason debut against the Washington Commanders, when he caught three passes for 12 yards and picked up 18 yards on his lone carry of the night. That came after he started the preseason with a bang, when he returned the opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown. There has been a lot of hype around Henderson after the Patriots took him with the 38th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and he's lived up to during training camp and the team's preseason slate. Henderson appears poised to make some big plays for the Patriots in a number of ways during his rookie season.
