Football: Reims president admits Keito Nakamura looking for transfer
AMIENS, France (Kyodo) -- Japan attacker Keito Nakamura is seeking to leave French Ligue 2 club Reims this summer, their president said Monday. But Jean-Pierre Caillot was adamant the future of the 25-year-old, who scored 11 goals in the top-tier Ligue 1 last term, lies at his club. "He's under contract with us," Caillot said after Reims drew their season opener 2-2 away to Amiens, where Nakamura was not in the matchday squad. "I don't know (about offers from other clubs). Either way, he will stay at Reims." Nakamura, who joined Reims from Austrian outfit LASK in the summer of 2023 on a five-year contract, became the first Japanese player to score in five consecutive games in a major European league last October. Reims were eventually relegated, however, after they finished 16th and lost in the promotion-relegation playoff. Nakamura was also absent from Reims' preseason tour of Japan through Aug. 2, in which they lost to J-League second-division club Montedio Yamagata 1-0 and top-tier side Kashiwa Reysol 2-1 before beating J1 Gamba Osaka 2-1. Back in May, Nakamura told Kyodo News he was determined to "survive" the battle to make the Japan squad for next summer's World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United Sates. "It's the stage I've been dreaming of since I was little. What I have in front of me now really is the biggest chance," he said. "I want to score at the World Cup finals."

PSG vs Reims live stream: How to watch 2025 Coupe de France final online for FREE
On Saturday night, Reims could win their first major trophy in 63 years and qualify for the Europa League in the process. On Wednesday, they might be relegated to Ligue 2. It's an extraordinary situation, and although the Coupe de France final could set PSG on their way to a quadruple, they have a distraction of their own. You can watch PSG vs Reims live streams from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free. The PSG vs Reims live stream takes place on Saturday, May 24. ► Time: 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. BST / 5 a.m. AEST (Sunday)• FREE STREAM — France TV (France)• U.S. — Fox Soccer Plus via Fubo• U.K. — Prime Video (FREE TRIAL)• Australia — beIN Sports (FREE TRIAL)• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free Wigan, Birmingham and Ipswich are proof that the lesser-spotted Europe-relegation combination isn't out of the realms of possibility, and Reims have a very respectable record against PSG. Five of their last six meetings have ended all-square, with Les Parisiens last getting the better of the Grand Est outfit back in 2023. The fixture tends to bring out the best of Keito Nakamura in particular. Novice coach Samba Diawara, however, only took over from Luka Elsner in February, a fortnight after Reims' latest PSG encounter. Having slipped into the relegation playoffs in stoppage time of the final game of the season, they only managed a draw against promotion hopefuls Metz in midweek, setting up a tense reverse fixture back at the Stade Auguste Delane. Luis Enrique has completely re-engineered PSG this season, turning them from gaudy underachievers into a relentless winning machine, but he has a challenge in his hands here. PSG may well have half an eye on next weekend's Champions League final, the biggest game in the club's history, a game they need Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembele for. However, while both sides have arguably more important games in the near future they will have to ensure they are fully focused at the Stade de France as they look to win France's oldest soccer competition.

Nakamura scores priceless pair in Reims win at Lens that eases relegation fears
LENS, France (AP) — A goal in each half from Keito Nakamura gave Reims an historic 2-0 win at Lens in Ligue 1 on Friday. It was Reims' first league win against Lens since 1977 and a personal triumph for the Japanese winger. Nakamura got the first after 33 minutes when he side-footed home from close range. Nhoa Sangui did the hard work for the clincher, three minutes from time, taking the ball the length of the field before laying it off to Nakamura to curl the ball in from an angle. Lens was unfortunate to leave empty handed in a match where it had most of the possession and chances and where Reims goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf was elected man of the match. The result lifted Reims out of the relegation playoff spot and into 14th. Lens was ninth. ___ AP soccer:
