      Wamangituka told Stuttgart he had been living in fear since leaving the Democratic Republic of Congo to play for French club Ales.
      He revealed that his real name was Silas Katompa Mvumpa and his birthdate was a year earlier, making him now 22 instead of 21.
      The striker said his personal information had been changed by an agent in Belgium who had put pressure on him before a trial with Anderlecht when he was 18.
      He told Stuttgart’s website: “I have lived in constant fear in recent years and was worried about my family in the Congo. It was a very difficult step for me to reveal my story.

      “I only dared to do this with the support of my new consultants. I realised I should no longer have to be afraid and that we could put everything out on the table.
      “I wouldn’t have dared do this if VfB Stuttgart hadn’t become a second home for me where I feel safe.”
      Silas – as he is now known – also now has a valid Congolese passport with corrected personal details.
      Stuttgart have released a statement that throws their support behind their player – who was recently crowned Bundesliga Rookie of the Season.

      The club’s sports director Thomas Hitzlsperger said: “We took all measures immediately and alerted all necessary authorities after Silas told us.
      “We make this case public to underline that we are proceeding in a transparent way.”
      Sven Mislintat added, as reported by Bild: “I think if you use the heading ‘human trafficking’ to describe it, you get relatively close to the topic.”

      And Dortmund ace Haaland, 20, is among their top priorities.
      Talks have already taken place regarding a possible switch to Stamford Bridge for more than £150million.
      However, The Times state the West Londoners may be tempted to try and include Abraham in any deal.
      They value their academy graduate at around £40m.
      So offering Abraham would both reduce the transfer fee Chelsea must pay as well as giving Dortmund somewhat of a replacement No9.
      The 23-year-old has struggled to convince Thomas Tuchel since the German replaced Frank Lampard in January.
      He made just seven appearances totalling 230 minutes and managed just one goal – the winner in the 1-0 FA Cup win over Barnsley.
      His last Premier League goal came on Boxing Day with a late consolation at Arsenal.

      Abraham was left out of the squad for the FA Cup and Champions League finals and has also been linked with Newcastle.
      Chelsea see Haaland as their No1 target with Tottenham unlikely to sell Harry Kane to their London rivals and Romelu Lukaku happy at Inter Milan.
      Haaland smashed in 41 goals in 41 games this season and is being chased by the two Manchester clubs as well as Barcelona and Real Madrid.
      But it is the Blues making headway towards a transfer.
      Former Norway striker turned pundit Jan Aage Fjortoft said: “Chelsea working intense (sic) to get Erling Haaland.
      “He is seen as the ‘missing’ player to make them challenge for the PL title next season.
      “Fee very high, but confidence that this can be solved. The main obstacle could be the wage structure at Chelsea.”
      Chelsea and Dortmund have a history of doing business together, with Christian Pulisic arriving from the German outfit in 2019, a year after Michy Batshuayi headed the other way on loan.

      GERMANY’S stars gave Manuel Neuer a guard of honour as he earned his 100th cap for the country.The goalkeeper made his debut against UAE in 2009 and has gone on to become one of the top shot-stoppers – inside and outside the box – of his generation.

      The Bayern Munich star has remained first-choice for club and country for over a decade and lifted the World Cup in 2014.
      Before Die Mannschaft’s game against Latvia on Monday, he donned a special pair of ‘100’ gloves to mark the occasion.
      And the Neuer was warmly welcomed into Dusseldorf’s Merkur Spielarena as he captained his country for the landmark.
      No keeper from the men’s national team had reached 100 caps for Germany before the 35-year-old, with 1970s star Sepp Maier coming closest on 95.
      Silke Rottenberg and Nadine Angerer have both achieved the feat for the women’s side.
      Joachim Low said ahead of the game: “From the first moment he was with us, I had the feeling he would go on to be one of the world’s great goalkeepers.”

      Neuer is expected to be first-choice for Germany’s Euro 2020 bid, with Kevin Trapp and Arsenal’s Bernd Leno also in the squad.
      And he watched on as his team-mates dismantled Latvia having drawn with Denmark in their other warm-up friendly.
      Ilkay Gundogan and Serge Gnabry were both on the scoresheet as Low’s men led 5-0 by half-time before Timo Werner and Leroy Sane made it 7-1.

      Chelsea undertaking ‘intense’ work to reach transfer deal with Erling Haaland, says ex-Norway striker Jan Aage Fjortoft

      by

      CHELSEA are hard at work formulating a deal to sign Erling Haaland, according to reports.Thomas Tuchel has delivered the Champions League to Stamford Bridge and is being given a huge transfer fund to plot a Premier League title bid.

      A new striker is among their targets with Romelu Lukaku and Harry Kane joining Haaland in being linked with the Blues.
      According to former Norway striker turned pundit Jan Aage Fjortoft, the Borussia Dortmund star is the number one priority.
      Chelsea are working ‘intensely’ to beat Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester City to the 20-year-old, it is said.
      However, Haaland’s wage demands are reportedly the biggest stumbling block in the deal.
      It had already been noted that Borussia may demand as much as £172million for their star forward – yet Fjortoft insists the Prem giants are confident of working around that.
      Instead, the Chelsea wage structure may end up being blown apart if the club is not careful in personal terms negotiations with the Norwegian’s agent, Mino Raiola.

      SunSport revealed earlier this year that Haaland may cost £600,000-a-week in wages, on a five-year contract which would surpass £150m on its own.
      Any prospective buyer may have to wait until next summer to complete a deal, when his release clause is rumoured to drop to £63m.
      And the marksman appears to be in no rush to leave Germany having smashed 41 goals in 2020-21.
      Haaland recently told NENT: “I have a contract for a couple of fine years, so I am respectful towards my contract.”

      Sancho had a sensational 2019-20 season, prompting United’s interest by scoring 20 goals and assisting another 20 in 44 appearances for Dortmund.
      His numbers dropped off slightly the following campaign, but he still managed an exceptional 16 goals and 20 assists in all competitions.

      RB Leipzig’s Sorloth begs fans of ex-club Trabzonspor to ‘stop calling me’ after he’s bombarded with 3.4MILLION messages

      The bizarre social media flood occurred when ex-Crystal Palace forward Sorloth, 25, uploaded a photo three days ago.
      The picture simply showed the striker training with Norway at a camp in Marbella, Spain.
      But Sorloth’s snap was soon swamped by millions of comments, with Trabzonspor fans begging him to return to Turkey.
      Sorloth became the club’s all-time leading foreign goalscorer with 33 strikes in 49 games during a year on loan in the 19/20 campaign.

      Sorloth, who was still owned by Palace at the time, was eager to make his move permanent after becoming an instant Trabzonspor legend.
      But he was instead sold to Leipzig for over £17million after they met Palace’s asking price.
      Sorloth managed just six goals in his first season with the Bundesliga side.
      And after missing out on the Turkish title to Istanbul Basaksehir by just four points this term, Trabzonspor die-hards hoped to convince Sorloth to return by bombarding him with a social media campaign.

      However, the hitman has now pleaded with fans to stop sending him messages and comments, saying ’Enough is enough’.
      In a tweet that appears to have since been deleted, Sorloth wrote: “I appreciate your love and support but please stop calling and sending me messages.
      “It makes my life very stressful. Enough is enough.”

      The Athletic report that talks are underway again between United and the German outfit.
      And the Old Trafford side hope they can sign him for less than the £108million asking price last summer.
      The Red Devils were desperate to land Sancho last summer.
      But Dortmund’s previous asking price proved to be more than United were willing to pay.
      Bundesliga side Dortmund are reportedly holding out for £80m plus another £20m in add-ons.
      SunSport previously reported that United have ‘mostly agreed’ personal terms with Sancho over a £77million move this summer.
      And Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc admitted the club will not stand in the winger’s way if a suitable offer comes in – but they won’t be so open to fellow target Erling Haaland leaving.

      He told ARD: “We already had a gentlemen’s agreement with Jadon last year that he can switch under certain conditions.
      “He’s been with us for a couple of years. However, this agreement does not exist with Erling.”
      Marcus Rashford got Man Utd fans excited with his latest tweet.

      He posted a picture of himself with Sancho in England training ahead of this summer’s Euros with the caption ‘little bro’.
      One fan said: “Can’t wait to watch you guys play every game this coming season together. Tears in my eyes.”
      And another remarked: “Agent Rashford”.
