Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says Croatia defender Joško Gvardiol is undergoing a medical at City and could complete his transfer in a matter of hours

New Orleans Saints all-time sack leader Cameron Jordan has agreed to a two-year contract extension that could keep him with the club that drafted him for 15 seasons

Transgender women will not be allowed to compete in the women's category of British Rowing events, the sport's UK governing body has announced ahead of a change in policy due to come in later this year.

England boss Gareth Southgate says he understands the criticism Jordan Henderson has received for joining Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq but feels the midfielder’s beliefs have not changed. Henderson’s move to the fast-growing Saudi Pro League came under scrutiny due to his long-time support for the LGBT+ community and the Premier League’s Rainbow Laces campaign. Homosexuality is illegal and punishable by death in Saudi Arabia, while the state stands accused of a host of other abuses including placing harsh restrictions on women’s rights and the right to political protest. Pride in Football, a network of LGBT+ fan groups, said the England midfielder had “lost the respect of so many people who valued and trusted” him but Southgate says it is not a black and white matter. “It’s not for me to judge any individual whether they’re in football or in any other industry,” Southgate told talkSPORT. “I don’t think he’s changing his view on what he believes in. So now we’re in a really complex world where, what are we saying, nobody should go to Newcastle? Should nobody work for companies that the Saudis own in London or should nobody buy oil from the Saudis? “I think it’s very complicated, I completely understand the argument of, you know, you’ve supported the LGBTQ community and I can understand why they would have a really strong view on it. “I think it’s so difficult to say, you know, is Henderson saying he doesn’t support that community anymore? Well no, he isn’t, but of course people are going to say his actions are the reverse of that.” Henderson will be making more money than he ever has before, with a reported £700,000 per week salary, but the standard of football in the league may affect whether his England career continues. Southgate revealed the 33-year-old sought assurances about the prospect of being overlooked if he were to move. The England boss added: “I spoke to him in the summer, the question he wanted to know was, ‘If I move here, are you going to automatically rule me out?’. “We would be stupid to do that. Why would we rule anyone out based on where they are playing? We have got to see how they are playing. “We have an idea of what that league will look like but we won’t know until we actually start to see the games. “If you asked me three months ago what that league would look like, I’d have a very different idea to what it is looking like as more and more players decide to go there. “Big-name players but not so many that are in the prime of their careers but not players past their sell-by date. “I think that whole project is fascinating for where it is going to head and what that might look like over the next few years. “But Henderson won’t be playing in the Premier League. He won’t play in the Champions League, which is the easiest assessment for the level he is playing at.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Iain Henderson backs Ireland wing Jacob Stockdale to fight for World Cup spot Ewan Ashman sets sights on Scotland starting spot at World Cup England hoping Tom Curry will feature in World Cup build-up despite ankle issue

Xabi Alonso has extended his contract as coach of German club Bayer Leverkusen through to 2026 after a strong first season led to speculation linking him with some of Europe’s top teams

Pep Guardiola has vowed to do everything in his power to make sure Kyle Walker and Bernardo Silva stay at Manchester City as he concluded it would be very difficult and expensive to replace both. Walker, who only has one year left on his contract, has attracted the attention of Bayern Munich while Silva, a long-term target of Barcelona, has had an offer to join the Saudi Arabian Pro-League. But Guardiola, who has already lost Riyad Mahrez to Saudi Arabia and captain Ilkay Gundogan, believes it would cost a fortune to find successors to Walker and Silva. “They are so important players for us, we are going to do everything,” he said. “It’s not like Gundogan where he finished a contract. We want him to stay because he wants to stay because they want to stay. “We will do everything because to replace these two players is so difficult. We lost two incredible players for us in Ilkay and Riyad for us who were massively important for us in big important games with goals and assists. To lose Kyle and Bernardo would be so difficult, that is why we are going to do everything to keep them.” City have brought in Mateo Kovacic to take over from Gundogan in midfield and are close to completing a £77 million deal for defender Josko Gvardiol but Guardiola is conscious his transfer budget will be depleted if he has to get players of the calibre of Walker and Silva to take their places. “When we lose those players we have to go to the market for these players and they cost more than £50 million,” the City manager said. “We need that money to reimburse on other players to make the team as strong as possible to defend the crowns that we won and win games for our people.” Guardiola hopes the transfer to bring in the Croatia international Gvardiol from RB Leipzig will be completed on Friday or Saturday. “He’s doing a medical test, everyone knows he is here and hopefully we can finish the deal in the next hours,” he said. Guardiola has also brought Juanma Lillo back to the Etihad Stadium and explained: “Juanma is the best assistant you can find. You have to find people in the bad moments. Juanma, beyond his knowledge of football, is a massive human being.” City face Arsenal in the Community Shield on Sunday when Declan Rice is likely to make his Gunners debut. The former West Ham captain chose to join Arsenal rather than City in a £105 million deal. “All the best,” added Guardiola. “He’s a really important player. He’s a really nice guy and for the national team, is and will be important. Arsenal bought an incredible player.” Read More Pep Guardiola wants to keep ‘irreplaceable’ Kyle Walker at Manchester City Why Wrexham can’t bank on another Hollywood ending Chelsea confirm Axel Disasi signing to cure defensive woes Why Wrexham can’t bank on another Hollywood ending Chelsea confirm Axel Disasi signing to cure defensive woes Women’s World Cup LIVE: Latest news and updates as England prepare for last-16

A Liverpool fan apologised to Jurgen Klopp after causing him to swear while he was signing a shirt. The manager was asked for his autograph during the club’s pre-season tour of Singapore while he was in a rush to get away. The moment took place after Liverpool’s defeat to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, with the Premier League side losing 4-3. Klopp was asked by a fan to sign a shirt when the team coach was leaving, and he replied: “Very quick yeah, I don't have the time actually.” However, the fan clearly wasn’t holding the shirt in the right way. After a pause, he then added: “And you have to hold the f***ing shirt properly.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The fan could then be heard apologising to Klopp before his finishing with the autograph. @mathewatics HAHAHAHAAH IM NEVER GNA FORGET THIS #jurgenklopp #festivaloffootball2023 #liverpoolfc #liverpoolbayern #liverpoolsingapore At least Liverpool fans know what to do if they ever want to ask him for a signature in the future… The club are currently finishing off their pre-season tour of Germany, with a game set to take place against Darmstadt on Monday (August 7) before the Premier League gets underway. Meanwhile, it was revealed earlier this year that Klopp enforced an unusual rule during his time as Liverpool manager which bans some of his own players from touching the famous Anfield sign. In his early days at the club Klopp imposed a rule that Liverpool stars could only do so once they had lifted a trophy. "I've told my players not to touch the 'This Is Anfield' sign until they win something," he said at the start of his reign at Anfield,” he said at the time. “It's a sign of respect."

England goalkeeper Mary Earps hailed “mastermind” Sarina Wiegman whose system switch-up stirred the Lionesses to life and ensured they launched themselves into the World Cup’s knockout phase with a perfect record. Wiegman’s move from a 4-3-3 to a 3-5-2 formation in the absence of injured midfielder Keira Walsh inspired a 6-1 victory over China to conclude the group stage and set up a last-16 meeting with Nigeria in Brisbane. And there was more hopeful news for Lionesses fans on Friday morning after it was revealed Walsh stepped up her recovery from the knee injury she sustained against Denmark, and was following an individual programme whilst her 22 team-mates trained together at the Central Coast Stadium. Asked if the new system had been in the works for a while, Earps replied: “No, not really, I mean obviously Sarina is the mastermind behind all the tactics and the formations, so yes, we just do as we’re told, we get in formation, do our job to the best of our ability and it paid off for us.” The European champions, ranked fourth in the world, got off to a much nervier campaign than most expected after eking out a 1-0 win against Haiti, 49 places below them, while Lauren James’ first goal in a World Cup was the only scored by either side as England beat Denmark. Tuesday’s China encounter saw the Lionesses turn over a new leaf as the attack came alive with five different goalscorers, including a brace for Chelsea’s James. Earps agreed England were growing into the tournament, saying: “The proof is in the pudding. The proof is what happens come game day, and the most important thing is that we’ve won three out of three. “I know that maybe the results haven’t been as maybe people would have wanted, but we’re playing at a World Cup at the end of the day. “This is the creme de la creme, this is the top, so I think that we know what we’re capable of, we’re just focused on one game at a time and getting the job done. So yes, that’s what we did.” Whether Walsh will feature again in this World Cup is still up in the air, but in her absence, England and Wiegman have added unpredictability to their arsenal of weapons, unlocking the ability not just to dominate but also discombobulate their future opponents. Should the Lionesses get the job done against 40th-ranked Nigeria on Monday it will be one of Colombia or Jamaica in a Sydney quarter-final, a test England at least on paper look perfectly primed to pass. A place in the final four could see them face debutants Morocco, defying the odds ranked 72nd in the world, tournament co-hosts Australia or a formidable French side who sit only one place below them in FIFA’s rankings. Earps feels England are capable of beating them all. She added: “I don’t think we fear anyone in general anyway. I think our qualities have shown through in however many months and years we’ve been playing together, so I think we’re in a good spot. “As long as we’re keeping the wins on the board, then no complaints here.”
