Sky Sports: Burnley ‘Reach Agreement' to Sign Chelsea Forward
Burnley Closing In On Chelsea Striker Broja Agreement According to Sky Sports News reporters Dharmesh Sheth and Adrian Kajumba, Burnley and Chelsea have reached a broad agreement on many aspects of a deal for Armando Broja. The 23-year-old Albania international appears to be edging closer to a move to Turf Moor, with talks continuing over the structure of the agreement. Personal terms are not expected to be an obstacle, with the player reportedly set to agree to a five-year contract. That length of deal shows Burnley's intent to build their Premier League future around young, promising talent. Ambition Shown In Early Transfer Window Moves Broja, who has battled for game time at Chelsea amid intense competition, has long been admired by a number of Premier League clubs. Burnley's emergence as the leading contender highlights their readiness to compete at the top level following promotion under Scott Parker. 'Personal terms on a five-year contract are not expected to be an issue,' Sky Sports News report, indicating the mutual interest between player and club is strong. Photo: IMAGO Such decisiveness in the market can send a message across the league, particularly when it comes to attracting players with top-flight experience. Player Profile And Potential Impact Broja's pace, power and direct style could provide Burnley with a much-needed focal point in attack. Standing at 6ft 3in, he offers a physical presence but also the technical quality to link play and exploit space in behind. Chelsea, meanwhile, may view this as a chance for the striker to flourish with regular minutes after a frustrating spell on the fringes at Stamford Bridge. For Burnley, this represents a strategic investment rather than a short-term gamble. Strong Foundations For Premier League Survival A player of Broja's profile fits with Parker's likely approach of organised defensive shape, quick transitions and aggressive pressing in advanced areas. Given Burnley's need for goals and top-level experience, this deal could be central to their survival hopes. Fans will be encouraged that the club is moving swiftly and ambitiously in the market. Securing a long-term commitment from a striker of Broja's calibre before the season begins could prove vital in ensuring Burnley remain competitive throughout the campaign. Our View – EPL Index Analysis As a Burnley supporter, this is the type of signing that makes you sit up and think, 'We really mean business this season.' Coming back into the Premier League under Scott Parker, the first thing we all wondered was how we would strengthen the squad to handle the step up in quality. Seeing us close in on a deal for Armando Broja is exactly the sort of move that gives hope. Broja has pace, strength and a hunger to prove himself after limited chances at Chelsea. You can see him fitting into our system, running at defenders, chasing down every lost cause and giving us that extra bite up front. We have been crying out for a striker who can stretch the game and take on defenders one-on-one, and Broja ticks those boxes. The five-year contract speaks volumes. It is not just a loan to survive, it is about building something sustainable. The thought of Broja linking up with our wide players and getting service into the box is exciting. If this deal gets done quickly, we can head into the season with momentum and belief.

‘NUTMEG!' Brings ‘Balatro'-Style Retro Football Manager To PC In 2026
Most football supporters of a certain age — those in their mid-30s and older — know the thrills of two things: collecting stickers, and losing years to football management games. NUTMEG!, landing on PC in 2026, promises a mixture of the two and elements of Balatro, so they can once again kiss goodbye to their free time. Developer Sumo Sheffield and publisher Secret Mode have pitched NUTMEG! as a card-based football management game that draws on the heady days of English league football from the 1980s and 1990s, long before the Premier League was even a thing — when you could park your car on the touchline, have a cigarette or five during the game, and don a replica of some of the most questionable kits in history. Who doesn't want WANG on their bright yellow shirt? NUTMEG! puts players in charge of a Fourth Division team, and you need to guide them through two decades of competition as you play for promotion to the top level, while securing legendary players before anyone realizes just how good they are. Success is a balancing act: management duties unsurprisingly include transfers, training, ticket pricing, and PR, but the meat on NUTMEG!'s bones is with its deck-building mechanics. Cards are earned through training and deployed in fast-paced, strategic battles at key moments on the pitch. Along the way, NUTMEG! promises to keep things exciting in the longer term, unlocking new teams, tactics, and abilities along the way. All the while, both die-hard football fans and newcomers alike will get the chance to relive the game's most iconic eras through classic kits. Who doesn't want PLEASURE ISLAND on their fever dream shirt? NUTMEG! also proudly follows in the footsteps of classic International Superstar Soccer games with its evident lack of licensing. All teams that aren't straightforward place names (e.g. Newcastle, Oxford) are a little more creative, meaning that Arsenal become Artillery, Nottingham Forest are Sherwood FC, Tottenham Hotspur transform into North London, and Everton are Mersey Blues. If anything, it gives it even more retro charm. This sideways glance at the soccer management sim may not arrive until next year, but fear not — Kevin Toms Football Star Manager, a faithful remake of the very first Football Manager game from 1982, lands on Steam in mid-August, and you'd better believe that I'll be taking Hartlepool United all the way to the top of the English football pyramid.

Should Benjamin Sesko choose Manchester United or Newcastle United?
Manchester United and Newcastle United have made substantial offers to RB Leipzig for striker Benjamin Sesko. Newcastle's first bid of €75million (£65.5m; $86.9m) plus €5m was deemed insufficient but they increased their offer on Monday night to at least €80million. Then, on Tuesday, Manchester United proposed a deal worth €75million plus €10m in add-ons. Advertisement Leipzig are yet to accept or reject the latest bids but if both are deemed sufficient, it will come down to which club the 22-year-old prefers to join. Manchester United are the global giants and believe Sesko wants to join them, but they finished 24 points behind Newcastle in the Premier League last season, missing out on European football entirely while Eddie Howe's side qualified for the Champions League. Here Mark Critchley, Jacob Whitehead and Sebastian Stafford-Bloor weigh up which move makes most sense — or if he might be better off staying at Leipzig for another year. Perhaps the only compelling football-related attraction is Manchester United's stature. Even after a decade of underperformance and mediocrity, players are still drawn to the prestige of being a Manchester United player. Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, Manchester United's senior-level summer signings, both cited their childhood memories of Sir Alex Ferguson's sides — watching the team dominate English football or wearing a shirt with Cristiano Ronaldo's name on the back — as their reason for choosing Old Trafford. Sesko was still 10 days short of his fifth birthday on the night of the 2008 Champions League final, when United beat Chelsea on penalties, so his memories of the Ferguson era are unlikely to be as vivid. Almost two decades later, United's status as one of the biggest clubs in world football has endured, and for many players, the challenge of restoring the club to those heights is enticing. Mark Critchley The most important is Howe. Newcastle United's head coach has a track record of improving players, even big-money signings — look at the development of Alexander Isak, Bruno Guimaraes, Anthony Gordon, and Joelinton. All have gone up in value since joining Newcastle — how many players can say the same at Manchester United? Advertisement Sesko is also guaranteed opportunities. Newcastle's message all summer is that Isak is not for sale but it is easy to see how Sesko's arrival could allow Isak to move to Liverpool, meaning the Slovenian's only strike rival would be the even rawer Will Osula. He could also continue playing Champions League football. Throw in the slightly lower-profile spotlight in the north east, where he would likely be afforded a few more months to adapt to the league and take on Howe's instructions, and there are far more reasons to believe that St James' Park represents a greater chance of success than Old Trafford. Jacob Whitehead Sesko needs only to look at last season's Premier League table. Manchester United's 15th-place finish was their lowest in 51 years. Combined with losing the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur, they will be without European football this season for the first time since the 2014-15 season. Newcastle can offer top-tier Champions League football this season, yet it is far from guaranteed that Ruben Amorim's side will return to Europe's elite soon. If Sesko picks Old Trafford, he will be signing up to a project that has shown scant evidence of sustained progress, under a head coach who has little margin for error and has publicly entertained the prospect of leaving. An optimistic mood and some positive performances on Manchester United's pre-season tour of the United States suggest all that could still change for the better. Amorim will spend his first full season in charge with time to work with his squad on his 3-4-2-1 system. For a young striker, these are uncertain times to walk into a turbulent club. Mark Critchley Recruitment has been difficult for Newcastle this summer. Anthony Elanga and Aaron Ramsdale have joined but several other high-profile targets have publicly turned them down. An already thin squad will face more matches in the Champions League, leaving concerns over whether Newcastle have the depth to compete on multiple fronts. Manchester United's larger revenues also mean they can afford higher salaries than Newcastle, helping explain why Mbeumo spurned the chance to move to the north east. Newcastle's strict wage structure limits their top-end dealmaking and the commercial profile of playing for Manchester United offers more money-making opportunities. Jacob Whitehead The centre-forward who has performed best under Amorim is undoubtedly Viktor Gyokeres, who scored 43 goals in 50 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign at Sporting CP, their only full season together. Plenty of those goals came via Gyokeres latching onto through balls and using his speed in the channels to dart behind defences. Advertisement Possessing a rare blend of size, speed and athleticism, Sesko could perform a similar role and make the most of Bruno Fernandes' direct, ambitious style of playmaking. That said, Amorim has repeatedly insisted he wants United to learn how to play slower and with more control during this pre-season, so Sesko would also need to be comfortable dropping to link up play. Mark Critchley Ultimately, Sesko is not Isak. Howe had his perfect striker already. Sesko works well out of possession and has the versatility to split wide in attack, traits that the head coach admires. Like Isak, the raw physical traits are there — the doubt is whether Sesko can unlock them. Howe has previously demonstrated the ability to polish this type of player. His main focus would be increasing the number of 'scrappy', poacher goals, which was the major development in Isak's game over the past two years. Jacob Whitehead If the club's size and stature remain a pull factor, those factors go hand-in-hand with a level of scrutiny matched by few other sides in world football. Sesko would likely replace Rasmus Hojlund as Amorim's first-choice striker, only two years after he joined from Atalanta for a similarly large initial fee of £64.2m. After showing some early promise, particularly in Champions League games, Hojlund suffered several barren spells in front of goal and by the end of last season, his confidence was sapped. He scored just four times in the Premier League last term. Sesko would not be doomed to the same fate but the spotlight on whoever is playing as United's No 9 is bright and unforgiving. That can prove difficult for young strikers, but it is a challenge Sesko will have to rise to if he decides to accept it. Mark Critchley There are competing kinds of pressure at play. At Manchester United, the size of the club and the scale of the rebuild are imposing, but joining Newcastle would also present challenges, especially given he would very possibly be cast as Isak's replacement. He might not be expected to immediately reproduce Isak's 27 goals in all competitions from last season but even reaching 15 goals would be a significant ask. At Newcastle, his signing would have to work, while Manchester United's financial superiority means they can eat failures and move on without torpedoing entire summers of spending. Advertisement It is natural for a player to back their own ability — but it is a flight of fancy to imagine that Sesko will be eased into any situation. Jacob Whitehead Very much so. Sesko is still developing and while he performed reasonably in the 2024-25 season, he has not proved he can really dominate the Bundesliga. Partly, that's owing to the team around him — Leipzig have endured a difficult, transitional few years since he joined — but it also reflects that he has work to do individually. He needs to develop physically, score more frequently and could benefit from a further season at a lower level. Leipzig are confident for the season ahead. Ole Werner has been appointed as head coach and has impressed everyone during the summer, while the additions of Johan Bakayoko and Yan Diomande have reshaped a squad that Sesko could do worse than to be part of.
