Galatasaray Signs Victor Osimhen From Napoli For £64.8 Million: What It Means For The Team.

The news has caused a big buzz not just in Istanbul, but around the whole football community: Galatasaray have officially signed Nigerian star player Victor Osimhen from Napoli for a huge fee of £64. 8 million (€75 million). This isn't just a record-breaking transfer for Turkish football; it's a monumental statement of intent, a declaration that the Turkish champions are ready to ascend to the next level, both domestically and on the grand European stage. Osimhen is staying at Galatasaray permanently after a very successful loan period during the 2024-25 season. He helped the team win the Super Lig and the Turkish Cup, scoring an amazing 37 goals in 41 games across all competitions, including 26 goals in the league, marks the culmination of a protracted transfer saga. It's a move that underscores Galatasaray's ambition, their financial muscle, and their ability to convince one of the world's most coveted strikers to commit his prime years to the Süper Lig.

Chelsea contacted Leicester City about a deal for Kiernan Dewsbury.-Hall

According to The Athletic, Chelsea have approached Leicester City about signing midfielder Kieran Dewsbury-Hall.

Chelsea wants another midfielder and has set their sights on the 25-year-old, who impressed in the Championship last season with 12 goals and 14 assists in 44 league outings.

Dewsbury-Hall is also considering leaving his boyhood club for Stamford Bridge. Chelsea will most certainly have to pay a substantial fee for the midfielder, whose contract runs until 2027.

However, the London club has demonstrated that it is willing to pay exorbitant fees for players it wishes to sign.

Chelsea believe Dewsbury-Hall is the ideal tactical fit for manager Enzo Maresca, who worked with him last season.

The Leicester City Players' Player of the Season might play in Maresca's 4-3-3 formation with Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.

Chelsea fans will be wondering what Dewsbury-Hall's arrival means for Conor Gallagher's future.

The club has been attempting to sell the 24-year-old England international for some time to balance their books, and signing Dewsbury-Hall could hasten his departure.

Chelsea has wasted no time getting down to business this summer, while failing to address the actual weaknesses in the first team.


 They have reportedly signed Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa for £19 million.

The transfer has sparked widespread interest, as the England youth international was previously unknown.

Estevao Willian has also joined Chelsea's almost endless chase of youthful talent. Tosin Adarabioyo joined Chelsea after leaving Fulham.

The Blues are close to signing Barcelona teenage attacker Marc Guiu, while also attempting to finalize a deal for Boca Juniors' Aaron Anselmino.

Chelsea's quest for a striker to compete with Nicolas Jackson continues, and numerous uninspiring possibilities have been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.

They also need to fill voids at left defense, left wing, and goalkeeper.

Canada's confident performance led to a historic away victory over the USA.

On Saturday, two North American rivals met, and Canada defeated the United States 2-1. One team was still riding high off their fourth-place result at Copa América 2024, while the other was a blend of young talent attempting to discover their identity under an interim coach. With such a significant contrast in confidence, the visiting Canucks defeated the Stars and Stripes on their home turf for only the second time in history. Canada dominated the first half, with 11 shots to one, and the first of two blunders resulted in the opening goal. A turnover gave the ball to Jonathan David, who sent it wide to Jacob Shaffelburg. The 'Maritime Messi' blasted with his left foot into the far right corner, beyond goalkeeper Patrick Schulte. 23 - Canada defeats the United States Men's National Team on American territory for the second time, and the first since 1957. The victory stops the USMNT's 23-game home unbeaten streak against Canada, the longest against any opponent in team h...
