Aaron Rodgers channeled his inner late-30-something after playing in his first preseason game for the New York Jets on Saturday night.

Tottenham have given Harry Kane permission to fly to Germany to complete his proposed move to Bayern Munich. The England captain is set to undergo a medical ahead of a reported £95million switch to the Bundesliga champions. The PA news agency understands reports that Spurs had refused the 30-year-old permission to fly out to Munich are false. But there could still be some small conditions to change in the deal to prise the striker away from the Premier League. Kane is about to enter the final year of his Tottenham contract, meaning he would be free to leave for nothing in 12 months’ time. Chairman Daniel Levy is believed to value the striker closer to £120m, but the risk of the club’s star asset departing for nothing in under a year has underscored negotiations with Bayern. Kane had reportedly been keen to stay in England in order to pursue Alan Shearer’s all-time Premier League scoring record of 260. He has scored 213 goals in the top flight since making his Spurs debut in 2012. Kane was the subject of interest from Manchester United earlier in the summer, but they opted instead to target less costly alternatives in a bid to stay within their transfer budget. Spurs supporters sang “we want you to stay” during Sunday’s 5-1 friendly victory over Shakhtar Donetsk, new manager Ange Postecoglou’s first home game in charge. The north Londoners begin their Premier League campaign away to Brentford on Sunday.

Neco Williams has backed his former Nottingham Forest team-mate Brennan Johnson to thrive at Tottenham and keep Wales in the race for Euro 2024 qualification. Johnson completed a £47.5million transfer to Spurs in the final minutes of deadline day and has not yet played for his new club. But Williams said the 22-year-old forward celebrated the move by taking several of his Wales team-mates out to dinner in London and picking up the tab. Johnson is, perhaps unfairly, considered the direct replacement for record Spurs goalscorer Harry Kane and the man to fill the boots of retired Wales great Gareth Bale at international level. “A lot fans will say that, but at the same time Brennan is not Gareth Bale or Harry Kane,” Forest full-back Williams said ahead of Wales’ vital Euro 2024 qualifier in Latvia on Monday. “He’s his own player and he has got his own style. He wouldn’t want to be compared to them or be seen as their replacements to step in. “He has got the potential to reach the highest of levels. But at the same time he’s only 22 and still very young. “He has proven it in the Premier League and now he has to prove it at what you’d say is a top-six team and do it in the Premier League again. “He’s got a move for big money and you can see that his confidence has taken him to the next level. “Hopefully he can take that with him into this Wales camp and win us some games.” Johnson met up with some of his Wales colleagues in London after joining Tottenham before arriving for international duty. “We celebrated with a little drink and some nice food,” said 22-year-old Williams. “It was a little meet up and a chance to say congratulations to Brennan on his move. To be fair, he got the bill as well. “Everyone was buzzing for him. It was last minute but we are all very pleased for him. “I’m just not looking forward to seeing him come back to the City Ground!” Johnson and Williams both started on Thursday as Wales drew 0-0 with South Korea in a Cardiff friendly. But the Latvia game represents the important part of the September double-header as Wales attempt to revive their Euro 2024 qualification bid. Defeats to Armenia and Turkey in June have left Wales playing catch-up in Group D and there is no margin for error in Riga. Williams said: “When we look back on it, the goals we conceded, we know we can do so much better than that. “As a team, that just wasn’t us. You can pinpoint so many things. “The gaps were too big from the strikers to the defenders, it just wasn’t a good performance all-round. “We’ve got top teams in our group and knew it wasn’t going to be easy from the start. “But we’ve got plenty of games to put that right and get as many points as possible to qualify.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live George Ford masterclass earns 14-man England an opening World Cup win New Italy boss Luciano Spalletti denied first win as North Macedonia fight back Talking points ahead of Republic of Ireland’s crucial clash with Netherlands
