    However, the North Londoners are already planning ahead and are set to seal the goalkeeper’s future at the Emirates at the turn of the year.
    According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, a deal to complete the Spain international’s move in 2024 is “all guaranteed”.
    The Premier League giants will complete the switch by triggering the 28-year-old’s £27million release clause.
    Raya has already penned a “potential long-term contract” with Arsenal that comes into effect in June.

    Brentford have also accepted the structure of the deal due to Financial Fair Play regulations.
    This poses as a major boost for Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, who rates his fellow Spaniard very highly.

    So much so that Arteta established Raya as his new No1 almost immediately after his arrival at the Emirates last summer.
    The Spanish tactician has received plenty of criticism for his decision to omit Aaron Ramsdale as his starting keeper.

    A series of errors by Raya also fuelled protests from fans demanding the return of Ramsdale to the starting line-up.
    However, Arteta doesn’t look set to budge any time soon now that the Spanish shot-stopper is ready to commit his future in North London.
    That could force Ramsdale out of Arsenal as he will need consistent first-team football to seal an England call-up for the summer’s Euro 2024 finals in Germany. More

      Lionesses star ‘hugely hurt’ that fans cannot buy shirt with her name on back for Women’s World Cup 2023

      by

      Earps’ remarks come seven months after Fifa named her the best women’s goalkeeper in the world at a glitzy Paris ceremony where she chatted with World Cup winner Emi Martinez.
      The long-sleeved tops worn by her, Ellie Roebuck and Hannah Hampton and in England games are not currently manufactured for retail sale by Nike.
      The Lionesses’ vice-captain, 30, said: “It is hugely disappointing and very hurtful.
      “It is something that I have been fighting behind closed doors, I have been trying to go through the correct channels as much as possible.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      “This is why I have not spoken on it publicly, even though I have been asked a lot about it over the past few months because I have been desperately trying to find a solution with the FA and with Nike.
      “On a personal level, it is obviously hugely hurtful considering the last 12 months especially – and also I think there has been an incredible rise in goalkeeping participation over that year.
      “I have discussed it with Ellie Roebuck. She is incredibly disappointed. As a whole goalkeeper union, we are all tremendously disappointed.”
      Earps, who plays for Manchester United, made history in May when she became the first shot stopper to keep 50 clean sheets in the WSL

      And Red Devils’ goalkeeper jerseys emblazoned with her name are said to be a popular-selling item at the club. 
      The England star, who has more than 665,000 TikTok followers added: “My shirt on the Manchester United website was sold out last season. 
      “It was the third best-selling shirt. That was my frustration and I ask, can there be any solution? Can there be a replica shirt that can be sold to young people?
      “I am not talking about adults respectfully, adults are important in this situation, but it is the young kids I am most concerned about.
      “They are going to say ‘mum, dad can I have a Mary Earps shirt’ and they say ‘I can’t but I can get you an Alessia Russo 23 or a Rachel Daly 9.’ 
      “And so what you are saying is that goalkeeping isn’t important, but you can be a striker if you want. 
      “That is why I am so passionate and have been desperate to change that narrative. Big businesses don’t do enough in my opinion.”
      This Saturday Earps will take to the field at Brisbane Stadium in Australia when England face Haiti in their first match of the World Cup.
      The duel with the Group D minnows comes almost a year after she became the first England keeper to lift a Women’s Euros trophy. 
      Other women’s national sides whose official goalkeeper shirts do not appear to be available for sale via their merchandise stores include the United States,
      The national kit for the four-time World Cup-winning giants is also produced by Nike who were contacted for comment.

      Earps added: “I think [discussions with other federations] may happen post-World Cup. I would love to hear their views.”

      And it will be aired on DAZN PPV, priced at £26.99, which sparked outrage amongst fans.
      Joshua’s last bout – against Jermaine Franklin – was included in DAZN’s regular monthly subscription which costs between £9.99 or £19.99.
      Whereas Whyte’s PPV bout to Tyson Fury in 2022 – which ended in a knockout loss – cost £24.95 on BT Box Office.

      “It is always around £24, £26, pay-per-view is pay-per-view. We have been there a million times.
      “This fight is pay-per-view on any platform. The fact that it is on DAZN, it will be available on Sky as well and obviously, talkSPORT will be carrying it.

      Hearn added: “The rivalry runs deep and there is something about these two where they will never back down from each other.
      “It is an absolute must-win for both. Get ready for fireworks.”

      eToro Football Investment Report reveals elite club secrets for success

      by

      IT’S no secret that football and big business go hand-in-hand. Behind the scenes, there are huge sums of money at stake.Investment platform eToro has published an in-depth report that reveals the buying, selling and investment habits of Europe’s elite clubs over the past few years.
      eToro has published a report that takes a deep dive into the world of European club investments and transfers

      You don’t need to be a football fan to know that player acquisition isn’t just about winning matches – it’s about bottom-line profits, too.
      Just as important as scouting for rising, small-league stars is knowing the right moment to let go of established names to generate the maximum profits.
      This report from eToro offers an absolutely fascinating windowpane into the business dealings of clubs including Premier League treble-winners Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund, Benfica and dozens more.
      There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to elite club success – each team’s methods and priorities vary. Some strategies are long-term, some short-term.
      Perhaps the one thing Europe’s titan football clubs have in common is that they’re all operating in an absolutely ruthless big-bucks industry.
      As former England midfielder and BT Sport pundit Joe Cole comments on in his foreword to the report: ‘The way that football clubs approach transfers and talent development has never been more important.
      ‘The margins at the top of the game are so small that any edge a team can find can be the difference between success and failure. Getting it right has never been so important.’
      Most read in Football
      We’ve read the report and have listed some of its most compelling findings below.
      Key findings: the eToro Football Investment report
      The Football Investment Report was created by eToro along with the German football site Transfermarkt.
      It draws from multiple variables of data across time frames of either 5 or 10 years.

      The club to generate the highest profits from transfer sales was Benfica, which made a cool £625.4m in player sales, and a £312.3m profit in transfer activities. 
      ‘Buy low, sell high’ is a business adage as old as time – and it’s Borussia Dortmund who saw the highest return on a player: it bought Ousmane Dembélé from Stade Rennais for £30.7m, before selling him to Barcelona for £122.8m.
      The most profitable player as a whole, again, goes to Benfica, who sold João Félix to Atlético Madrid for £111.6m in 2019/20. Interestingly, the next two – Ruben Dias and Éderson – were both sold to Man City.
      Ousmane Dembélé delivered the biggest profit after just one season  – but it’s worth mentioning that Benjamin Mendy ranks at number 5 on the list: he was signed from Monaco to Marseille for £11.4m in 2016/17, and then was picked up by Manchester City in 2017/18 for £50.4m.
      In terms of UK clubs, it’s Tottenham Hotspur who has added the most value to their team. It ranks at number 3 in the list with an increased value of £281.4m.

      For a deep dive into these stats and how they compare against rival clubs, we highly recommend you read eToro’s Football Investment Report for a deep dive.
      If you’re passionate about football and you’re thinking of getting into investing, the 27-page report is essential reading – you can head to the eToro site and download the PDF.
      Since 2018, eToro has been a major sponsor of the Premier League, and since 2020 has also sponsored teams across the top European leagues.
      Next season, they will sponsor the men’s, and for the first time, the women’s teams of Arsenal, Everton, West Ham and Crystal Palace in the PL and WSL
