We saw Rayan Cherki at the weekend, once again causing havoc in the opposition defence since joining Manchester City. The Frenchman toys with defenders, twists and turns with the ball, pulls off tricks and does things that few footballers in the Premier League, or even in Europe, can do with a ball at their feet. And yet he is not even City’s most effective dribbler. In fact, he will not even be among the top three at the Etihad, because City have just unveiled Iliman Ndiaye. When Liverpool blocked Cody Gakpo’s departure, City reacted expertly, taking advantage of Richarlison’s intervention that scuppered Tottenham’s deal with the Senegalese forward, and luring one of the Premier League’s best dribblers to the Etihad. Everton’s coffers have now been boosted by a fixed 70 million euros, with the Toffees able to earn another six million euros in bonuses.He’s here 🤩🇸🇳 pic.twitter.com/MhVNGqt7cI— Manchester City (@ManCity) September 1, 2026 And now we can talk about Manchester’s dribbling ..

Things are falling apart left, right and center, while Lille are once again smiling and rubbing their hands, having fleeced the English for the second time in five days! Last Thursday, Manchester City splashed the cash on the club from northern France, paying as much as 95 million euros for Moroccan midfielder Ayoub Bouaddi, making him Lille’s biggest-ever outgoing transfer. But that wasn’t the end of it. Now it was Newcastle’s turn to get fleeced — Matías Fernandez-Pardo for 60 million euros. Newcastle were testing the waters, initially approaching the Ligue 1 side with an offer of 45 million and receiving a negative response. It was too little for the Belgian forward, who can play anywhere across the front line. Lille were asking for as much as 70 million, but they didn’t quite get that much…We are delighted to announce the signing of Matias Fernandez-Pardo for an undisclosed fee.The 21-year-old Belgium international forward joins on a long-term contract and becomes the club’s eight ..

Retaining the Embobut-Embolot Ward Gavana wa Raia title is no longer Masete FC’s ultimate ambition.Download our Mozzart Sport App for more newsThe club, founded in 1984, stormed to the men’s football title in the last edition of the tournament, while Embobut Saints claimed the women’s crown.With the fifth edition of the tournament just around the corner, it would be easy to assume that Masete are gearing up to defend their crown and go all the way to the Elgeyo Marakwet County level in pursuit of the ultimate prize.##NAJAVA_MECA_9928328##However, the Jacob Komen-coached side insists that dominating the regional tournament is merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to its ambitions.What Masete players yearn for most is an opportunity to have Harambee Stars head coach Benni McCarthy, his U20 counterpart Gilbert Selebwa and other national team technical officials attend their training sessions, friendly matches and tournament fixtures.Such exposure, they believe, could give them a cha..
