🎥 Ghana, anything but football: Belgian champion is the anti-Bale
Golf is a popular change of pace for many footballers. If you ask Gareth Bale, it probably goes far beyond that. However, for Ousseynou Niang from the Belgian champion Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, it might be better for everyone involved if a ban were issued. His game in the tee box is not entirely safe and not at all royal. For his colleagues, but also for his own well-being. Maybe chess or fishing would be a better choice.

Newly promoted Burnley are close to signing Kyle Walker from Manchester City. An agreement for the 35-year-old is not completed but Walker began his medical on Friday before a permanent transfer. He is expected to sign a two-year contract, and the deal is likely to be a free transfer initially, but with bonuses that could be worth up to £5million for City. The England international is keen to work with the Burnley head coach Scott Parker, whom he played alongside during Parker's two years at Tottenham Hotspur, between 2011 and 2013. Walker spent last season on loan at AC Milan, where he made 16 appearances, but the Italian club did not take up their option to buy him permanently. Walker's contract with City is due to expire in 2026. Walker will add experience to the Burnley squad, having won 17 trophies during his eight years at City. Burnley signed Axel Tuanzebe on a free transfer from Ipswich Town last week, while Bashir Humphreys (Chelsea), Marcus Edwards (Sporting), Jaidon Anthony (Bournemouth), Quilindschy Hartman (Feyenoord), Max Weiss (Karlsruher) and Zian Flemming (Millwall) have all joined the club on a permanent basis. They have also been trying to sign Andy Diouf from Lens, although it is not clear at this stage if the deal will progress.

The 27-year-old joined Leeds in January 2023 from Red Bull Salzburg and has made 28 appearances for the club.

Hoffenheim signs Japan defender Koki Machida from Belgium's Union Saint-Gilloise
SINSHEIM, Germany (AP) — German team Hoffenheim has signed Japan defender Koki Machida from Belgian champion Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. The 27-year-old Machida, who has played 17 games for Japan, signed a 'long-term contract' at Hoffenheim, the Bundesliga club said on Friday without elaborating. Kicker magazine reported Hoffenheim agreed to pay around 4.5 million euros ($5.3 million) for the player, possibly rising to over 5 million ($5.9 million) with bonuses. 'In Koki Machida we've found a central defender who brings exactly the qualities we were looking for in this position,' Hoffenheim sporting director Andreas Schicker said. 'He has international experience as a Japanese national team player and was an absolute key part of Royale Union Saint-Gilloise's championship-winning last season. Koki is an uncompromising defender who never shies away from a challenge.' Machida initially joined the Belgian team on loan from Kashima Antlers in 2022, earning a permanent switch the following year. Altogether he played 114 games for Union. 'For me the step to Hoffenheim and in the Bundesliga is the next in my career,' Machida said in a Hoffenheim statement.
