Things then got even worse when he was sent off just after the hour mark.Woodgate played just 14 times that season, before a loan move to Middlesbrough effectively ended his Real Madrid career.After signing permanently for Boro, Woody earned a move to Tottenham in January 2008. He won the League Cup barely a month later, and remains the last Spurs player to score a winning goal in a cup final.Following spells with Stoke and back at Middlesbrough, Woodgate retired in 2016.He has since gone into coaching, managing Boro and Bournemouth.Woodgate, 45, returned to Middlesbrough once again in 2022, where he works as a first team coach under Michael Carrick.JUDE BELLINGHAM (2023-present)England superstar Bellingham sealed a blockbuster £115m transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid in the summer of 2023.The move has been a resounding success, with the midfielder immediately excelling in Spain.Bellingham scored on his debut, and went on net five times in his first four LaLiga matches.The image of the 21-year-old with his arms outstretched has quickly become an iconic one.Birmingham’s finest has already won LaLiga and the Champions League during his young career.And with Alexander-Arnold now alongside him, Bellingham will feel that he can add plenty more to his already impressive trophy tally.England play a friendly against Senegal at Nottingham Forest’s ground three days later.Liverpool fans were fuming about losing a world-class player for free, even booing their homegrown star against Arsenal last month.Alexander-Arnold was given a more warm goodbye on the final day of the season, before breaking down in tears after 20 years with the club.Read More on The SunHe now departs Anfield after 354 appearances and 23 goals for the club, winning eight major honours.Trent won two titles, the Champions League, Fifa Club World Cup, Uefa Super Cup, FA Cup and two League Cups with his boyhood side.

      Real Madrid interested in Lewis-Skelly free transfer next summer with Arsenal star’s contract talks ‘not going well’

      by

      MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY is being eyed for a stunning transfer by Real Madrid, according to reports. The youngster has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign under Mikel Arteta at the Emirates, playing 39 games for the Gunners and chipping in with one goal and three assists.Myles Lewis-Skelly could leave Arsenal on a free transferCredit: GettyLewis-Skelly had a breakthrough campaign this seasonCredit: APReal Madrid could land a second England international on a free transferCredit: APHowever, having signed his first professional contract in October 2023, the 18-year-old could already be set to move away from north London and end a decade-long association with the club.That’s because with just one year left on his contract, Real Madrid are now “sniffing around” the situation as they possibly eye another free transfer for an English star.According to The Guardian, negotiations between the player and Arsenal over new terms are “not going well.”And this has left Spanish giants Real on red alert to sign the England international full-back.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThe La Liga club have already landed Liverpool’s own English international full-back in Trent Alexander-Arnold, with a £10million fee agreed to allow him to play at the Club World Cup next month.Combined with Jude Bellingham already at the club, it means Xabi Alonso’s new-look Madrid team could feature as many as three English stars at the Bernabeu.But ultimately, the player’s future could depend on where he is seen as playing long-term.Lewis-Skelly played as a midfielder during his days in the Hale End Academy, but has primarily starred as a left-back – often inverting – since breaking into the Arsenal first-team.Most read in FootballBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKHowever, Arteta has hinted at a possible switch into midfield from next season for the teenager. He said: “He is very intelligent, very willing and very physical. If you have those three ingredients and you have a personality that can go through blips — it can happen — that is Myles. That is what he has done.Arsenal wonderkid Lewis-Skelly’s mum reveals he’s ‘still on washing-up duty’… and how she nearly missed Man City goal”He can do as a 6 and an an 8. It will depend a lot on the relationships and the chemistry with other players, how this evolves within the team.”And football, which direction it goes , what demands of certain positions as well. He is certainly a player that can play a in lots of positions.”Lewis-Skelly was selected in Thomas Tuchel’s latest England squad.Tuchel deployed him as a full-back in his last two Three Lions’ appearances, World Cup qualification clashes against Albania and Latvia in March, the first of which Lewis-Skelly scored in.Losing him to Los Blancos, who have also been long-term admirers of William Saliba, would be a bitter blow to the Gunners long-term transfer plans.Arsenal are also in negotiations with fellow starlet Ethan Nwaneri.Read More on The SunIn terms of incomings this summer, Arsenal have submitted an offer to land Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres but have been joined in the pursuit by Chelsea.However, the Blues being boosted after news emerged that Liam Delap wants to join them may give the Gunners a clear shot at the former Coventry ace.Join SUN CLUB for the Arsenal Files every Friday plusin-depth coverage and exclusives from The Emirates More
