Another Wanderer heading to Scotland
Zac Sapsford is set to go head-to-head with his former Western Sydney Wanderers teammate Nicolas Milanovic in the Scottish Premiership after joining Dundee United.
Sapsford has signed a three-year deal with the Tangerines for an undisclosed transfer fee.
The 22-year-old attacking weapon scored nine goals in 26 A-League appearances for the Wanderers last season, and was part of impressive forward line that also included Johnny Warren Medal winner Milanovic, who joined Aberdeen last month for a deal that landed Western Sydney a club-record transfer off about $800,000.
Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin said the acquisition of Sapsford was a 'terrific piece of business' for the Tangerines.
'He's a dynamic forward with a killer instinct in the final third off both feet or with his head, and also has the awareness to intelligently bring his teammates into play,' Goodwin said.
'We feel he's someone that will get our supporters out of their seats and we can rely on in big moments given his mentality and track record in those situations.
'Zac immediately bought into our vision for him and his development. I'm looking forward to closely monitoring his progression during his time in tangerine.'Meanwhile, teenage Sydney FC midfielder Wataru Kamijo has signed a new four-year deal with the Sky Blues.
'This club has given me my opportunity and I feel like I'm in the right place to grow and develop into a first-class midfielder,' Kamijo said.

Askou is new Motherwell manager
Motherwell have appointed Jens Berthel Askou as their new manager. The 42-year-old Dane was most recently assistant manager at FC Copenhagen and has had spells in charge in his homeland, Sweden and the Faroe Islands. Advertisement "Having spoken extensively with members of the club board, it was clear from the outset that our ideas, ambitions and morals align," said Askou. "We are all ambitious people, and we're all hungry for success. I can't wait to arrive in Scotland and begin planning for the season ahead. There is a lot of work to be done, but it's highly exciting." With the move subject to the approval of a work permit, Motherwell say they hope Askou can start next week. He replaces Michael Wimmer, who left Fir Park in late May to join German third-tier side Jahn Regensburg. Wimmer won five and drew three of his 12 matches as Motherwell finished seventh in the Scottish Premiership. Advertisement Askou has won promotion to the Danish top flight with both Vendsyssel and Horsens. In between those jobs he won a league and cup double in the Faroe Islands with HB Torshavn. In June 2023, he took over at Gothenburg for a year before joining Sparta Prague as an assistant coach. In January, he took up a similar post at FC Copenhagen working under manager Jacob Neestrup. "We had a high number of impressive applicants, but we were really drawn to Jens," said Motherwell chairman Kyrk Macmillan. "His track record of working with big clubs, delivering success and developing young players matches up with all our philosophies. Advertisement "He has handed 26 teenagers debuts in five-and-a-half seasons, which I think is evidence of Jens implementing his ideas and morals. "The data and numbers impressed us, but more importantly, after speaking with Jens a number of times, he is a really ambitious character and a leader who was extremely keen to get the role here at our club." More to follow.

Asia benefits from World Cup expansion as AFC qualification delivers thrills
Jeddah is more relaxed and laid-back than Riyadh. Tony Popovic should know. On Tuesday, for the second time in his coaching career, he left Saudi Arabia with a big prize, though back in 2014, it had been a far more fierce fight. Then, Western Sydney Wanderers went to the capital to defend their 1-0 first leg lead in the Asian Champions League final and, despite the best that Al Hilal could throw at them, held firm amid the storm for the most unlikely of trophy wins. This week, however, there was a five-goal cushion by the Red Sea, meaning there was only ever going to be one outcome: a seventh World Cup appearance. After successive playoff qualifications, to advance directly to North America is a welcome change and to do so with wins against Japan and Saudi Arabia is especially pleasing. Related: Socceroos taken from brink of disaster to automatic World Cup 2026 qualification | Joey Lynch Advertisement It may have ended calmly, but this campaign has been a real rollercoaster. When Australia joined the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) in 2006, the basic selling point was that it provided bigger, better and more tests at all age levels. At the senior level, the past few months have certainly provided that. Group C showed that – Japan apart – it can be debated whether the traditional powerhouses on the continent are developing as they should, but those a little lower down the rankings are grabbing hold of the ladder and looking up with determination. Take Indonesia. The goalless draw with the Socceroos in Jakarta in September feels like a long time ago now. It followed a 1-0 loss at home to Bahrain, meaning that the opening two games against the supposed weakest teams in the group had brought just one point. It also brought the resignation of Graham Arnold. In came Popovic but after 45 minutes of the next home game against China, whose fatalistic fans claimed they are actually the weakest team in the group, Australia were a goal down and in real trouble. They came back to win 3-1 and while it wasn't a done deal, a corner had been turned. There were no more defeats. The competitiveness of the group helped in some ways too. It turned out that a draw in Jakarta was not a bad result, with only Japan managing to win and the other three teams losing. The rapid naturalisation of European-born players, mostly Dutch, has brought a rapid improvement and while this may be seen as an easy route, it is not guaranteed. China would attest to that. In past campaigns Saudi Arabia had capitalised on Australian stumbles but not this time. There will be easy narratives about how the influx of foreign talent has stifled domestic opportunities and development. Roberto Mancini complained about this before getting his marching orders, but the Italian would still have been in a job had Salem Al-Dawsari not missed a penalty against Indonesia in September that would have turned a draw into a win. The team would probably have made the top two had the same player – deservedly named the Saudi Pro League player of the year – not missed another against Bahrain. Advertisement But the Green Falcons have at least fallen into the safety net that the fourth round of qualification now provides. There are concerns that expanding the 2026 World Cup from 32 teams to 48 in North America will dilute quality at the tournament. That remains to be seen, but Asia now having 8.5 places has brought a new dimension to qualification. The four spots in the past were more often than not taken by the usual suspects leaving little for the other 40-plus AFC members to get excited about. Now though, four extra places mean that many more can dream. Being in Amman for the final games was testament to the expanded excitement. Jordan qualified for the first time, taking one of those six spots, as the city went into party mode. Final day opponents Iraq, led by Graham Arnold, were disappointed not to make it into the top two but at least know that there will be more opportunities. With the top two spots in Group B filled, the new format meant that there was still something to play for and the big game in Asia on the final matchday was, incredibly, Palestine against Oman, also in Amman. The 'home' team – King Abdullah II stadium is located in the eastern part of the Jordanian capital and close to the largest Palestinian refugee camps – needed to win. The excitement around the camp was palpable, as was the tension. Oman too, one of the friendliest national teams in Asia, were unusually grim-faced, knowing that a big prize was within reach but could be snatched away in just a second. And so it was, from Palestine, as Oman scored a dubious 97th minute penalty. Australia's journey is also over, but there are still six teams with much to play for. Some will have awoken on Wednesday morning disappointed, others may have been so excited that they didn't sleep at all, such is the thrill of World Cup qualification in Asia.
