Women's Euro: England crowned European champions
The Women's Euro delivered its verdict on the evening of Sunday, July 27, 2025. England have been crowned European champions, overcoming Spain in the final.
Just like the last Euro final and the World Cup, England (the European champions) and Spain (the world champions) faced off in this blockbuster Women's Euro final—a true clash at the pinnacle of women's football.
Spain lived up to their billing by taking the lead in the first half. It was Caldentey who broke the deadlock before the half-hour mark (25', 1-0). In the second half, England found their answer. Russo netted the equalizer (57', 1-1).
With the score level at full time, the match headed into extra time. But once again, neither side could find the breakthrough, and it all came down to the nerve-wracking penalty shootout. In this ultimate test, Mead and Williamson missed their spot-kicks for England, while three Spaniards faltered: Caldentey, Bonmati, and Paralluelo.

Liverpool Are Prepared To Launch A Fresh Move For This Crystal Palace Defender: Should Slot Snap Him Up?
In a recent interview with Football Insider, former scout Mick Brown revealed that Liverpool are prepared to launch a fresh move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. Brown said, 'All of the talk at Liverpool has been about Isak at the moment. 'But from what I'm told, Marc Guehi is still very much on their radar and I'd expect them to make a move before the end of the window. 'I think they regard Guehi as just as important as Isak in terms of the benefit to their squad. 'They're not totally convinced about Konate, he makes too many errors and could be on his way out when his contract runs out next year. 'They've let Jarell Quansah go, and Joe Gomez isn't going to be the long-term answer at centre-back. 'If they're going for every trophy available to them, they can't afford to take chances at the back, and Guehi would represent a very good addition for them. 'He'd be a top signing and I expect they'll be ready to make a move at some stage.' Guehi's Excellent Form In The Premier League Last Season Guehi had a great season at the London club recently as he put in a lot of influential displays for them on the defensive end of the field. The England international played in 44 matches for the Eagles in the previous campaign, netting three goals and securing two assists across all competitions. The 25-year-old gave a good account of himself when defending inside his half after he made 61 tackles, 55 blocks and 28 interceptions in Premier League football. He was even careful when distributing the ball from the back, as evidenced by his pass success rate of 83.5% in the English top tier (stats via LONDON, ENGLAND – FEBRUARY 15: Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace looks on prior to the Premier League match between Crystal Palace FC and Everton FC at Selhurst Park on February 15, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) Should Liverpool Boss Arne Slot Snap Guehi Up This Summer? Guehi is a good tackler of the ball and doesn't mind clearing the danger when needed. He can scan the danger well to make some crucial interceptions for his side on the defensive third of the pitch. The English sensation can even play his way out from the back. He is currently one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League. Therefore, it will be a great move for Liverpool if they can lure Guehi to Anfield this off-season. Guehi would no doubt enhance the quality of Arne Slot's defence. He could even go on to form a solid partnership with Virgil Van Dijk at the Merseyside club. At 25, Guehi will only get better in the coming years. Thus, the Reds should focus on snapping him up before the end of this transfer period.

Olympic Champion Remco Evenepoel Signs With Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe For 2026
Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel will join Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe next season after reaching an agreement with his current team, Soudal-Quickstep, to release him from his contract. The 25-year-old Belgian was contracted with the team until the end of 2026. 'Representatives of Remco informed the team's management that he did not wish to discuss an extension of his current agreement,' the team said in a statement. 'After taking some time to consult with our sponsors and partners, the team's ownership and management have decided that it is in the best interest of everyone to agree that Remco can move at the end of the current 2025 season.' Evenepoel turned pro and signed with Soudal-Quickstep in 2019. He developed into one of the best riders of his generation during his seven seasons with the team, excelling in the time-trial discipline, where he is the two-time defending world champion. Evenepoel showed his abilities as a Grand Tour general classification contender by winning the 2022 Vuelta a España and finishing third at the 2024 Tour de France. He has also proven himself in one-day races, winning Liège-Bastogne-Liège, one of cycling's five Monument races, twice. Last summer, he became the first male cyclist to win the road race and time trial at a single Olympic Games. 'Remco stands for ambition. He doesn't just want to ride—he wants to shape cycling,' said Ralph Denk, the CEO of Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe. 'He brings not only exceptional athletic talent but also a remarkable mindset. His determination, professionalism, and relentless drive to succeed are truly inspiring.' Evenepoel was one of the favorites for the third spot on this year's Tour de France podium behind Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and Jonas Vingegaard (Team Visma Lease-A-Bike). However, Evenepoel's preparation for the season was derailed in December when he crashed during a training ride. He returned to competition in April and won the stage five time-trial at this year's Tour de France but abandoned the race on stage 14. Later, he revealed on social media that he had been riding with a broken rib. Evenepoel's departure from Soudal-Quickstep has been one of the biggest transfer window rumors of the last several seasons, though Evenepoel denied any speculation that made its way to him. This year, the links between him and Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe grew stronger after the Tour de France as sports director Rolf Aldag parted ways with the team and was replaced by former Belgian national coach Sven Vanthourenhout. 'Evenepoel's arrival marks more than just a milestone for Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe, it is a clear signal,' the team said. 'With renewed confidence and bold ambition, the team is setting its course to become one of the most attractive forces on the international cycling stage in the years to come.' Evenepoel's move will undoubtedly strengthen the Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe squad, though it could also create a power struggle among the team's top riders. The team's statement makes it clear that Evenepoel will be a centerpiece of the team's long-term goals and one of its main leaders. But five-time Grand Tour winner Primoz Roglic is still under contract with the squad, as is former Giro d'Italia winner Jai Hindley and podium-finisher Dani MartÍnez. The team is also home to 24-year-old Florian Lipowitz, one of the breakout stars of this year's Tour de France. Lipowitz won the white jersey as the race's young rider classification and finished third, delivering the first Tour de France podium-finish in team history. With only three Grand Tours on the men's WorldTour cycling calendar, at least one will see their general classification opportunities limited and may even be called on to work in service of one of the team's other general classification leaders. Meanwhile, though Soudal-Quickstep supported Evenepoel's Grand Tour general classification bids, it is expected to return its focus to one-day classics next season. The team started the transfer season, which opened August 1, by signing Milan-San Remo winner Jasper Stuyven to a three-year contract. The team also retains Tim Merlier, one of the strongest sprinters in the current peloton and two-time stage winner at this year's Tour de France.

Update On Tottenham Hotspur And Their Pursuit Of This Atletico Madrid Ace: Good Option For Frank?
In a recent report, Fichajes offered an update on Tottenham Hotspur and their pursuit of Atletico Madrid ace Conor Gallagher this summer. It is understood that Spurs are prepared to launch a €50m move to sign the English midfielder this summer. Gallagher's Decent Form In La Liga The 25-year-old enjoyed a good campaign at the Wanda Metropolitano recently after he produced a series of eye-catching displays at the heart of Diego Simeone's midfield. Gallagher found the back of the net four times and earned six assists in 50 appearances for Atletico Madrid last season in all competitions. The English talent offered decent protection for his teammates at the back as he made 45 tackles, 23 blocks and 20 interceptions in La Liga. He was even tidy when distributing possession from midfield, based on his pass completion rate of 85% in the top tier of Spanish football (stats via Gallagher's current contract at the Spanish club will run out in the summer of 2029. Thus, Spurs would have to make a convincing offer if they want to get a deal done for him. MADRID, SPAIN – MARCH 16: Conor Gallagher of Atletico de Madrid reacts during the La Liga EA Sports match between Atletico de Madrid and FC Barcelona at Riyadh Air Metropolitano on March 16, 2025 in Madrid, Spain. (Photo by Florencia) Is Gallagher A Good Option For Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank? Gallagher is a solid tackler of the ball and can sense the danger well to make some important interceptions for his team at the centre of the park. He doesn't mind putting his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the front foot and is a good passer of the ball as well. The English talent can even chip in by scoring and creating his fair share of goals from midfield. He has got plenty of experience in the Premier League and is well-equipped to make an immediate impact at the North London club. Gallagher would bring more energy and dynamism to Tottenham boss Thomas Frank's midfield. He is more than capable of securing a regular first-team spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season. At 25, Gallagher has his best years ahead of him, which makes him a good option for Spurs to consider in this transfer window. Therefore, it makes sense for Frank to try everything in his power to lure him to North London ahead of the new Premier League campaign.
