Javier Hernández, a high-scoring Mexican striker who had been rumored to be heading to Major League Soccer for years, finally arrived in the league on Tuesday. The Los Angeles Galaxy, who lost the scoring and outsize personality of striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic when his contract expired after last season, announced Tuesday that they had replaced him […] More

KYRIL Louis-Dreyfus vowed to rebuild Sunderland after slamming his predecessors for “asset-stripping” the League One club.
Heir to an estimated £4billion fortune, the new Black Cats owner, 23, acquired a majority stake from Stewart Donald last week.

Donald, along with Juan Sartori and Charlie Methven, are no longer directors but will retain a minor shareholding.
Sunderland fans despaired as young stars like Josh Maja were sold on the cheap and Louis-Dreyfus hit out at the “cost-cutting” that has seen the club down the leagues since relegation from the top-flight in 2017.
The Swiss said: “It is a fresh start. It has been many years now where the club had no real long-term vision and also cost-cutting at its forefront, which basically led to an asset-stripping in almost all departments, which required rebuilding from the start.
“It will be a long-term plan – hopefully we can take it forward together and bring better times to the club.”

New manager Lee Johnson is looking to get the Wearsiders out of League One at the third time of asking.
Their 2-0 win over Fleetwood on Tuesday leaves them sixth after three straight victories.
But Louis-Dreyfus, whose late father Robert owned French giants Marseille, insisted he will not panic if they fail to reach the Championship.
And he warned of a bumpy road before the good times are back at Sunderland.

The new chairman added: “I believe there is a big underdeveloped potential, which I hope to achieve.
“However, it is a tough climate we are in – the next few months will be challenging.
“There are pandemic-related losses which will require investment from the ownership, but we are confident that over time we will get out stronger and get success.

“It’s very important in football not to panic. For example a key moment will be this season, where I truly believe we can get promoted.
“We’ve got a very strong squad, a good manager and the league is still open.
“However, we need to follow our long-term plan – we cannot panic if we fall short.”

TOMMY FURY has vowed to “END” YouTube boxing by taking down KSI and Jake Paul. The 2019 Love Islander handed social media star-turned prizefighter Paul his first defeat in February.

But the American, 26, opted to forgo a rematch to instead return on August 5 in Texas against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38.
So Fury, 24, and KSI, 30, have decided to turn their attention to each other with talks ongoing for the two to fight.
Paul has claimed he will look to rematch his celebrity boxing rival next February, exactly one year on from his split-decision loss in Saudi Arabia.
So that falls right into Fury’s 12-month plan to KO the new school crossover boxing era which has divided opinions.

He told Sky Sports: “Everybody knows what’s next for me, it’s being teased at the minute.
“Hopefully we can get this KSI fight over the line and I’ll knock off another YouTuber.
“That’s my plan for this year. I want to end YouTube boxing within 12 months.
“So that’s my plan. So we’ll see. I don’t know. I just take it one fight at a time. All these guys are the same to me.

“There’s not one that stands out from the rest. They’re all about the same. So anyone can get it. I’m not bothered.
“I’m used to, growing up fighting against proper boxers. These guys are a bit of a joke.”
KSI was last in the ring in May in what turned out to be a no-contest after an accidental but illegal elbow knocked out Joe Fournier, 40.
He went face to face with Fury afterwards and both camps have confirmed that a deal is imminent.
Fury said: “I’ve said my hitlist. Jake Paul’s already been struck off, KSI is next.
“Then from what I’ve seen the other day Jake Paul wants it again in February. Listen, I’m happy. I’m happy keep these fights rolling in.”

WAYNE ROONEY has been tipped to be the next Everton boss as doing an ‘out of this world’ job at Derby.The Toffees are getting ready to sack under-fire Rafa Benitez with chiefs holding an emergency meeting after Saturday’s shock loss to Norwich.

That left Everton with just one win in their last eleven games, sliding from fourth in the Premier League to fifteenth.
Fans voiced their discontent during the 2-1 loss at Carrow Road and, with the writing seemingly on the wall for the former Liverpool boss, a return for hero Rooney has been a hot topic.
Rooney, 36, has impressed this season in charge of Championship crisis club Derby, in his first managerial role.
And Jamie Redknapp reckons the former England captain might be the man for the job at Goodison.
Speaking as a pundit on Sky Sports, Redknapp said: “People are talking about Wayne Rooney, the job he is doing at Derby is out of this world.
“The fact that he’s even got them in the position to stay up, this would be the greatest escape of all time.

“Whether he’s the right fit, I don’t know, but these are the options they will be looking at.”
Local lad Rooney started his senior professional career with the Toffees back in 2002, after playing for the youth team.
Writing himself into club folklore, he was youngest ever goal scorer for both Everton and the Premier League.
Going on to win the league five times and play nearly 400 games for Manchester United, Rooney returned to the blue side of Merseyside for a second stint at Goodison Park.
Entering a managerial career with Derby County, Rooney was appointed at the start of last year.
Despite a 21 point deduction this season, the Rams are only eight points from safety.
They would be in eleventh place if not for the deduction.
Meanwhile, Benitez is expected to be sacked as Everton owner Farhad Moshiri held an emergency board meeting on Saturday night.
This came after the Toffees lost to Norwich in a shock defeat with the Canaries scoring two early goals to mark the end for the Spanish gaffer.
