      WHEN it comes to wanting a booking at the most sought-after restaurant last minute, tickets for the upcoming Tyson Fury fight, or a personal shopper, FirstLuxe are footballers’ first port of call.A concierge service like no other, they have become the one-stop shop for Arsenal stars Ben White and Emile Smith Rowe, England international Kalvin Phillips, West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen, Olympic legend Usain Bolt and more.

      The business was conceived by school friends Steven Haziza Metta and former Hull City defender Calaum Jahraldo-Martin around four years ago.
      Members can pay £1,080 a year for exclusive experiences in London’s finest hotspot, which can be accessed by the FirstLuxe app.
      Or, they can upgrade to a platinum membership for £2,400 a year which includes bespoke travel – with a planned expansion to incorporate sports star havens Marbella, Mykonos and Dubai in the near future.
      This also gives them access to a company-hired personal shopper, who takes clientele around the likes of Harrods, Selfridges or Harvey Nichols for Dior trainers at £890 a pop to a full-styling experience which can run into the thousands.

star White claims Neville and Carragher criticism helped to inspire him
      SunSport sat down with Haziza Metta and Jahraldo-Martin, who told us why they launched FirstLuxe.
      “Calaum and I were best friends through school, and always wanted to set up a business together,” Haziza Metta revealed.
      “With his contacts in the football and celebrity world and mine in the high net-worth world, we thought we were best-placed to do it. And there was a market for it.
      “We also found ourselves acting as a concierge service for friends so it seemed a natural thing to do.

      “What people really want is something where you know the person you’re speaking to knows the market.
      “You are speaking to a human within minutes, knowing essentially that that person is a one-stop shop all your local needs.”
      FirstLuxe’s most popular membership for high-earners and football’s elite is their platinum offering.
      Haziza Metta told SunSport: “That gives you access to all our services, bespoke travel, and even preferential rates on things like hotels.
      “And all these travel benefits we have – we do it on a global scale, including chartering private jets and hotels and villas, which we do globaly.
      “Where we separate ourselves from competition is we provide a much more localised approach.
      “So restaurant bookings, bars, a personal shopper, chauffeurs, tickets for events, even investment properties, we tend to do that currently in London and Paris.
      “We know we’re not an expert in everything. But what we’ve done is taken time to shortlist the right businesses and people to be aligned with.”
      As Jahraldo-Martin explained, the service they provide allows footballers to concentrate on their game and not their social life.

      “A lot of footballers will have a family member or a friend who can do all these things for them,” he said.
      “But they may be reaching out to three or four people. That’s time consuming for players, when they’ve got to be focusing on games or training.
      “And are they getting the best prices? Do they have time to negotiate for better deals?
      “A footballer recently told me that it takes them more time to do it themselves, so they would rather go on the app, talk to us directly on our chat option, and whatever they want would be sorted quicker.”
      FirstLuxe prides itself on being able to deliver an A-list life to clients, where normal civilians might struggle to get a restaurant booking or entry to a club.
      “Calling the mainline of a popular restaurant is often not going to get you what you want,” Haziza Metta said.
      “The demand is so high. And unfortunately there are certain doors that can be opened by having certain relationships.
      “So, we’ve personally built relationships with senior level people at high-end establishments.
      “And we’re very confident to say, if we can’t do it it can’t be done.”
      Already, FirstLuxe are taking orders for events – from seats on centre court at Wimbledon to front row at the Tyson Fury’s fight against Dillian Whyte next month.

      While they are consistently on the phone to Mayfair’s incredibly exclusive Novikov ensuring their clients get a table for posh nosh.
      “Most footballers want to be seen in the best spots,” Jahraldo-Martin explained.
      “When they have a day off from their busy schedules, they want to let their hair down and have a good time.
      “This is something we can obviously facilitate.”
      For the moment, FirstLuxe are happy to stay in their lane. But they certainly see growth in their future.
      They want to engage in more event-planning – from engagements to birthdays.
      Bespoke hampers, sourcing perfect pieces of jewellery to even supplying personal chefs during the busy Christmas period are also soon to be in the offing.
      Haziza Metta and Jahraldo-Martin are still to secure their dream client – both name-checked rapper Drake.
      They want to expand to the artist side, but it will remain a strict process to be accepted into the FirstLuxe client database.
      “We have an approval process and are selective with clients,” Haziza Metta divulged.
      “We don’t necessarily approve everyone, we see who they are and see if they fit the brand. We have a waiting list of over hundred users but we can’t approve any until we’ve done our due diligence.”

      Money Kicks told Sky Sports: “I never thought I would ever fight Floyd. He is the best fighter ever.
      “When I was young, I would collect his ‘The Money Team’ caps.
      “Mayweather’s team asked my team for a meeting. We thought: ‘No way will this happen!’
      “The same day of the meeting, I saw Mayweather saying, ‘I would love to fight Rashed’.
      “He is serious. It is an honour that he has called me out. I thought: ‘This will go viral!'”
      Those talks have since stalled, but Mayweather is still keen to bag the fight in Dubai.

      On Instagram, Money Kicks has over two million followers. He lives in a mansion in the UAE that has its own private zoo filled with over 500 exotic animals.
      Because of that, the son of construction mogul Saif Ahmed Belhasa, worth around £4billion, can count the world’s greatest footballers and sports stars as his friends, including Mayweather.
      Inside the private zoo, you’ll find lions, tigers, panthers, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, and even bears.
      Hilariously, he has even named some of them after A-list celebrities and cartoon characters.

      There’s two giraffes named after Sesame Street’s Bert and Ernie.
      While there is a monkey called Paris Hilton, who incidentally has visited Belhasa.
      Other celebrities including Ronaldo, Jackie Chan, Rihanna and Mariah Carey have also had animals named after them, as well as made the pilgrimage to the astonishing grounds you need a go-kart to negotiate around.
      Footballers come in their droves, wowed by Belhasa’s wealth and the opportunity to feed a beast they’d never encounter otherwise.
      Jesse Lingard, John Terry, David Luiz, Luka Modric and more have all fed a tiger or a cub some milk for a photo op.

      Even boxers Anthony Joshua and Floyd Mayweather have gone toe-to-toe with some bears and orangutans.
      The zoo itself can be seen from the lavish home’s living room and was featured on Channel 4’s World’s Weirdest Homes back in December.
      Belhasa revealed that the zoo isn’t open to the public, the family don’t make a profit from it and the animals aren’t badly treated.

      “We take care of all our animals,” he said.
      “When I went to Kenya, I see a lot of lions dying because they eat once a month and here they eat every single day.”
      Because of his wealth, Belhasa rubs shoulders with celebrities who make him their first port of call when they arrive in Dubai.
      “They all want to spend time on our family farm and see our tigers,” he told Dubai’s English-speaking newspaper, The National.

      “Wiz Khalifa is my friend. Steve Aoki is my friend. They have all come to our farm.
      “But sometimes I have to say no to celebrities who want to come here. I don’t have the time and it is tiring.”
      Alongside being heir to a home zoo, Belhasa also boasts an incredible trainer collection worth around £800,000 that he loves to show off to his sporting mates.
      In fact, he has an entire room dedicated to his shoes – that include limited editions Yeezys, Bapes and Air Jordans kept in secure cases so they’re well preserved.

      It’s all part of Belhasa’s masterplan, to eventually open his own trainer store in Dubai.
      “Whatever I make from my clothing line and YouTube ads, I put into buying sneakers,” he revealed.
      “But this isn’t just me wasting money, this is a serious business investment.”

      Man Utd manager target Erik ten Hag lives above supermarket, studies Guardiola’s teams and loves Van Gaal and Cruyff

      by

      ERIK TEN HAG famously lives above a supermarket in Amsterdam, but the only shelf he wants to stack is his club’s trophy cabinet.The Ajax boss, who is reportedly a manager target for Manchester United, has won two Eredivisie titles with the Dutch giants.

      The quiet Dutchman, fairly unknown across the continent after a 13-year playing career in Holland, has revived the glory days at Ajax with a vibrant young team.
      In 2019, with a side that featured homegrown talents like Frenkie de Jong, Matthijs de Ligt, Donny van de Beek and Hakim Ziyech, he reached a Champions League semi-final.
      Ten hag, a keen golfer with a high-pitched voice, worked wonders given Ajax had not even competed in the knockout stages since 2005-06.
      Having already surpassed par, Ten Hag is becoming a Master. That’s why he is a serious contender for the Old Trafford hot-seat.
      AJAX ICONS
      On the wall of his modest office at the club’s De Toekomst training ground hang photos of Johan Cruyff, Rinus Michels and Louis van Gaal.
      In an era when Ajax are surrounded by financially beefed up opponents, he has ensured the club have stayed competitive. This season, they were narrowly beaten by Benfica over two legs to exit the Champions League in the Round of 16 stage.
      So how has the former centre-back from a rural town in Twente transformed their fortunes?
      Ten Hag’s education in coaching goes some way to explain.
      In 2013, having spent his entire career in Holland, he moved abroad to work with the master of management.
      At Bayern Munich, ten Hag cut his coaching teeth with the reserves while watching closely as Pep Guardiola revolutionised the German giants’ style.
      “Every day I get to work with him, I look forward to it. He inspires me,” he gushed.

      And his approach to training shows ten Hag is a disciple of Guardiola, such is the obsession with detail.
      He has a particular focus on the character of a player.
      Ten Hag will note down how each individual responds to minor errors, losing the ball or committing a foul, and works out the mentality of his team to suit their opponent.
      Before being appointed at Ajax in 2017, these skills helped him guide Utrecht into the Europa League.

      DEVELOPING YOUTH
      Ten Hag suited Ajax due to his ability to nurture young talent into stars.
      Frenkie de Jong, 21, joined Barcelona in a deal worth £65million in 2019. Matthijs de Ligt, 19, joined Juventus for the same fee – boosting the club’s coffers.
      Ten Hag played a key role in the development of players like Memphis Depay, at PSV, and Marko Arnautovic, at FC Twente.
      He transformed Depay from a central midfielder to a wide position, with the coach’s focus constantly on attacking and attractive football.
      Yet, Ten Hag is also able to identify what his team needs.
      Among his youthful stars, are seasoned veterans including former Man United man Daley Blind and ex-Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic.
      Both were brought in 2018 by Ten Hag to redress the team’s inexperience.

      The Dutchman has spoken of his lofty ambitions to manage a bigger club.
      And with Ajax now firmly established back as one of Europe’s big guns under ten Hag, he might feel his work in Amsterdam is done.
      Could a new challenge in the Premier League with Man Utd await him? More

      Meet Chelsea youngster Derrick Abu, who is juggling a promising football career with becoming a rap star

      by

      IT’S the teenage dream to be a music star or footballer… but Chelsea youngster Derrick Abu is planning on doing both.The promising talent has been a regular for the Blues U18 side and has starred in their FA Youth Cup run.

      The 18-year-old has provided stability and versatility at the back for Ed Brand’s team, playing in a variety of positions including right back, right wing-back and centre-half.
      Off the pitch, Abu is just as diverse – pursuing his very own rap career under the moniker Cho$en.
      He recently released his debut single Life’s Changing, and is planning on a second with new track Real Love.

      Twin passions
      Growing up in West London, German-born Abu had a love of both football and music.
      Influenced by his Nigerian parents, he was a regular church-goer, where he sang in the local choir.
      He wrote his first song when he was just 11, around the same time he joined the club.
      Abu revealed: “I have been making music as long as I have been playing football, going to church with my mum and being involved with the church choir. My love for music only grew from there.

      “I think I had a natural talent and the most important thing is I enjoyed singing so from there it just became a hobby.”
      Managing his time
      Alongside the demands of playing for one of the world’s leading football academies, Abu manages to find time to get to the studio and work on his music.
      Speaking to Chelsea’s website, he is keen to stress that he is willing to work hard to achieve success in both worlds.
      He said: “Firstly, I want people to know that I have always wanted to do both, so I made sure that I was committed to both and ready for the workload of both as I do not want one to suffer at the hands of the other.
      “I want to do both at a high level. It has been relatively easy because I have put my mind to doing both. I believe if I am putting in performances and developing as a footballer, there is no reason I cannot develop as a music artist too.”
      Abu, who has featured for England’s U17s, claimed he gets the full support of his team-mates who love his tunes.
      “My team-mates always tell me what they like about my music and that also gives me confidence as they are believing in something that I have made” he said.

      Life’s Changing
      Abu’s debut single, Life’s Changing, is out now and available to listen to on streaming sites including Spotify and Apple Music.
      According to Spotify’s records, it has been listened to over 18,000 times – while he has attracted over 2,000 monthly listeners.
      Calling himself Cho$en, he plans on releasing follow-up Real Love on April 7.
      But it’s his first song that defines his journey so far.
      “It’s an old song which I picked out of the archives and made a couple of changes to, but it has turned out well,” Abu divulged.

      “It has such a cool beat and that helps me get across the message of the song.
      “The song talks about how I am basically living two dreams at the same time and how I will keep working hard to make sure that I continue along this path.”
      With such dedication, you wouldn’t put it past Abu succeeding in both. And maybe then, it’ll be his music that’s blasted out from a Chelsea star’s dressing room speakers. More

      The team to beat, they finished top of their group ahead of USA and Mexico.
      And they did it without star man and Bayern Munich ace Alphonso Davies, who has been out of action with a Covid-related heart issue since the turn of the year.
      That has forced the left-back to stream himself watching qualifying games onhis Twitch channel, breaking down in tears on Sunday at his country’s latest success.
      But while David and Davies may have played their part, it’s an unsung British coach that should also get the plaudits.

      Herd mentality
      Canada are led by Englishman John Herdman, who had a spell as a development coach at Sunderland until 2001.
      The 46-year-old started his coaching journey when he was a student and part-time lecturer at Northumbria University.
      After moving to New Zealand in the early noughties, Herdman joined their national association football programme where he took on roles including coach education manager and director of football development.

      In 2006 he scored his first management role – when he was named head coach for the New Zealand women’s national team.
      He excelled in the job, guiding them to World Cups in both 2007 and 2011.
      Canada’s women’s national team hired Herdman as their boss in 2011, and he wasted no time by winning a gold medal at the Pan American Games the same year.
      After a successful Olympic qualifying campaign, Canada’s women’s team would compete in the 2012 Games in London, where they would eventually scoop bronze.
      Four years later, Herdman’s Canada would retain bronze at Rio.
      His successful reign saw him bumped up to men’s national team coach, as well as men’s national director, with responsibility for all age groups from under-14s upwards.
      It signalled a new dawn for Canadian football – and within four years years they climbed the world football rankings from 72nd to now 33rd, the highest ever for the country famed for its ice hockey teams.
      Next, he will take his charges to Qatar for the 2022 World Cup.

      David & Goliath
      A potential breakout star in the Middle East could well be their explosive forward, 22-year-old Jonathan David.
      Born in New York City, he moved to Haiti when he was a baby but then emigrated to Ottawa as a six-year-old.
      His epic rise saw him go from youth football in Canada to moving abroad to Belgium, where he starred for Gent.
      Within seven months of joining, David made his debut – scoring an injury time equaliser to rescue his side. A star was born.
      Across two seasons as a teenager, he would score 37 goals in 83 games.
      It was enough to encourage Ligue 1 giants Lille to pay £25million for his talents, where he has continued to go from strength-to-strength.
      This season he has been at his most prolific – finding the net 17 times in all competitions, despite the club’s struggles in the league.
      Growing up, he idolised Thierry Henry and is believed to be a top transfer target for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.
      With Lille expected to sell in the summer, he could already be a Premier League star when he appears at the World Cup.

      All without Davies
      It’s on the left-side where Canada are at their most frightening.
      Working in tandem with David, who likes to drift to that side, is the lighting-quick Alphonso Davies.
      Born in a refugee camp in Ghana after his family fled the Second Liberian Civil War, he overcame adversity to reach the top.
      Back in 2021, he was recorded hitting a top speed of 22mph in a Bundesliga match for Bayern Munich.
      Two years prior, he exploded on the scene after signing from MLS club Vancouver Whitecaps for £9million.
      However, since January Davies has had to watch his country’s historic campaign from the sidelines, or better still his own living room.
      An inflammatory heart condition following a bout of coronavirus hasn’t seen the defender play this year, although now back in training he’s hopeful of playing for the Bavarians in the near future.
      In his spare time, he’s taken to his Twitch channel that’s grown to 271,000 followers.
      When he’s not showing off his skills on FIFA 22, he was streaming himself cheering on Canada’s international games.

      On Sunday, he filmed himself reacting to their epic win over Jamaica in an emotional video.
      Breaking down, Davies tearfully cheered the moment while collapsing to the floor.
      You can bet many proud Canadians will probably be doing the same when they get to see their side in Qatar this December. More

      England star Harry Kane’s very British car collection, as he favours driving a Range Rover, Jaguar and Bentley

      by

      TRUST our Harry.England captain and Spurs star Kane, 28, really does wear his heart on his sleeve when it comes to his country, putting in some inspired performances on the pitch for the Three Lions.

      And if you look closely at his car collection, you’ll see he likes to keep it British too.
      The Spurs striker believes the best is ‘Made in England’, preferring to ride in cars made by Range Rover, Bentley and Jaguar – all made on our shores.
      Family man Harry loves to travel in comfort and style in a sporty Autobiography from Land Rover worth around £99k, and also drives a roomy F-PACE which starts at a modest £35k.
      But when he feels the need for speed, his Continental GT Supersports costing around £212k is just the ticket to get him to and from training at the blink of an eye.

      “Just to be associated with that British stamp is something that I’m proud of,” Kane said.
      “I pretty much love that Jag. It’s not too big, not too small, it fits our little daughter and the dogs.
      “It’s a family car with a sporty edge. It’s not like you’re embarrassed to drive it as a dad. You’re happy to drive it. It looks nice and it’s not too expensive. It’s been great for me so far.”
      After a hard session on the training ground, most footballers prefer to stretch their legs in a comfy SUV.
      Harry confessed he was no different and the extra space is crucial.
      After a game or training, Kane loves to ride in a spacious SUV
      “After a game or training, you just want to get in a nice car and chill.
      “I had a Range Rover Sport before that. Loved that. I just wanted the bigger version. And I’ve just bought a Bentley Supersports.
      “I thought I’d treat myself to a sports car. I was looking at most of them really, but because I play golf I wanted something with a bit of room, nothing too low, something a bit different.
      “They are only making 710 of them. I’ve gone for white with black wheels. It’s a beautiful, beautiful car. It’s my first real sports car.

      “Down the line, maybe if I win a few trophies, I can treat myself to a Ferrari or a Lamborghini.”
      For club and country, Harry formed a formidable relationship with Dele Alli.
      The pair have starred for Spurs and England over the years, with their play often telepathic at times.
      That might explain why they both bought the same car!

      “Dele’s just bought a Supersports as well,” Kane revealed.
      “I’ve come in with my Supersports and he’s said, ‘I don’t believe it. I’ve just ordered that as well’. He’s got a black one and I’ve got a white one. It keeps the partnership going!”
      On the pitch, Harry is often getting clattered by opposition defenders, who target him for a kicking. Off it, he’s had a couple of car collisions in his time.
      “On the day of my first Premier League start for Spurs, I crashed in the car park at Costco,” he admitted.
      “I knew I was starting and I was nervous and I wanted to get out of the house. So I took the missus to Costco and did a bit of shopping.

      “You know what those places are like, manic, cars everywhere, and it was raining.
      “I was reversing out just as someone was coming out of the space behind me and we bumped. That was embarrassing.
      “But we went on to beat Sunderland 5-1 that night and I scored. It was a fantastic night. The day didn’t start so well but it’s one I’ll always remember.”
