Brighton sign Belgium defender De Cuyper
De Cuyper, 24, helped Brugge win the Belgian Pro League in 2023-24, and the Belgian Cup last season. He made his Belgium debut in June 2024, and has earned 10 international caps, scoring three goals.
"He has a great reputation for creativity and has shown his ability across different positions, although we primarily see him challenging for a left-back spot with us," Brighton coach Fabian Huerzeler said in a statement.

‘Forever 20': Liverpool to commemorate Diogo Jota with fan mosaic, memorial sculpture and shirt patch
LONDON, July 26 — Liverpool players will wear a 'Forever 20' emblem on their shirts and stadium jackets this Premier League season in memory of their former forward Diogo Jota who died in a car crash in Spain three weeks ago. The club also announced today a special commemoration including a fan mosaic and a minute's silence ahead of Liverpool's opening game of the season against Bournemouth on August 15. Thousands of flowers, scarves, banners and other tributes have been laid outside Anfield since Jota and his brother Andre Silva died. A picture of Liverpool's Portuguese football player Diogo Jota stands next to flower tributes, after Jota died in a car crash near Zamora, Spain, outside Anfield Stadium in Liverpool July 3, 2025. — Reuters pic The club said they have been removed over the past week and stored, while the floral tributes will be composted and used in flower beds across club sites, including Anfield, the AXA Training Centre and AXA Melwood Training Centre. The remaining artefacts will be recycled and used to create a permanent memorial sculpture that will become a focal point of remembrance at Anfield. Liverpool had already announced after consultation with Jota's family that his number 20 shirt will be retired across all levels of the club, including the women's and academy teams. Supporters can have 'Diogo J. 20' printed on shirts in club stores, with profits going to LFC Foundation, the club's official charity. The Foundation has committed to creating a grassroots football programme in Jota's name. A floral tribute will be also laid before kickoff at pre-season games in Hong Kong, Tokyo and at Anfield. — Reuters

Amorim prepared to reintegrate exiled Man Utd players if valuations not met
MANCHESTER UNITED manager Ruben Amorim has said he is prepared to reintegrate the club's exiled players into his squad if they cannot be sold for fees that match the valuations expected by the former Premier League champions. Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia have been excluded from the squad that has travelled to the United States for the club's pre-season tour with the quartet seeking transfers away from Old Trafford. But while they have had to work separately from the first team squad since United returned for training ahead of the new season, Amorim acknowledged he would be prepared to accept the players back into his squad should they not be sold. 'Some players have to find a new place to have more space in the team and other players clearly show they want a new challenge and want new teams,' Amorim told reporters in Chicago ahead of Saturday's pre-season meeting with West Ham United. 'We are just allowing these players to have time to think and to decide. If we reach a point where they have to join the team, they will join the team because they are our players. 'I'm ready to receive the players. They have more competition, more competition if you want to play in the World Cup next year, you need to play. 'So I'm really happy with that because I have more options. If they have to fight each other to play, for me it's perfect.' United have signed Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo so far in the transfer window, while England winger Marcus Rashford has left to join Barcelona on loan as Amorim's side looks to bounce back from a lowly 15th place finish in last year's league table. The club's financial situation is such that United need to sell players if they want to add to their squad. Chief Executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox are charged with finding buyers for their 'bomb squad'. 'I know for a fact these people - Jason, Omar and the club - have a number for these players,' said Amorim. 'If they don't reach that, they will be Manchester United players, no doubt about that. 'I understand the (interested) clubs are waiting for the last minute but they can have a surprise.' - REUTERS
