Monday's briefing: Arsenal sign Zubimendi but no Vardy party at Rangers yet
Arsenal have signed midfielder Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. The Spain international, 26, moves to the Emirates Stadium on a long-term deal after the Gunners reportedly triggered his £51million release clause. Euro 2024 winner Zubimendi had previously been a target for Liverpool and was also linked with Real Madrid. Zubimendi told the club website: 'This is a huge moment in my career. It's the move I was looking for and one I wanted to make. As soon as you set foot here, you realise how big this club and this team are. 'I set my sights on Arsenal because their style of play is a good fit for me. They have shown their potential recently and the best is yet to come.' Forward Lauren Hemp insists England know what is at stake when they play the Netherlands on Wednesday as they bid to keep their European title defence alive. The Lionesses' backs are against the wall after suffering an tournament-opening 2-1 defeat to France to set up what is already being billed as a 'must-win' meeting with 2017 champions the Netherlands. 'This team, a lot of the time, we thrive under pressure,' said Manchester City forward Hemp. 'Obviously it's one of those situations. Every game we go into, we want to win. 'From how we acted in the last 10 minutes (against France), we know what's at stake, and obviously we want to get as far as we can. 'We are reigning champions. It is important to remember that and gain confidence from that.' Russell Martin refused to be drawn on reports linking Rangers with a move for former England and Leicester striker Jamie Vardy. The 38-year-old forward, who has seen a move to Genoa fall through, has now been heavily touted for a switch to Ibrox after leaving the Foxes at the end of last season. Recently appointed Rangers boss Martin remained coy but refused to dismiss the prospect, when asked after his side's 2-2 pre-season friendly draw at home to Club Brugge on Sunday if Vardy was a target. 'I think I've been asked about so many players,' he said. 'Some miles away, some on the money. So basically, I'm not going to give you an answer on that. 'But I guess you'll find out who's real and who's not in the next few weeks.'

Aitana Bonmati back with Spain Euros squad after treatment for viral meningitis
Bonmati, who has won the Ballon d'Or for the past two years, was absent for her country's 3-1 friendly win over Japan on Friday as she received treatment at a Madrid hospital. She was discharged on Sunday. The Spanish Football Federation shared photos on social media of the 27-year-old arriving at the team hotel late on Monday. 🌜 Y cuando creíamos que el día lo había dado todo de sí…@AitanaBonmati 𝘀𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮 𝗮 𝗹𝗮 @sefutbolfem 𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗶𝘇𝗮. 🙌 ¡Qué alegría tenerte de vuelta, Aita! 🙌#WEURO2025 | #JugarLucharYGanar — Selección Española Femenina de Fútbol (@SEFutbolFem) June 30, 2025 A post on X read: 'And when we thought the day had given its all… @AitanaBonmati trains again with @sefutbolfem in Switzerland. What a joy to have you back, Aita!' The arrival of Bonmati, who has scored 30 times in 78 matches for her country, will be a big boost for the world champions, but it remains to be seen when she will be available to play. Spain begin their Euros campaign in Bern on Thursday with a Group B fixture against Portugal. They will then face Belgium in Thun on Monday before concluding the group phase against Italy back in Bern.
