      Arsenal and Chelsea want Spain Euro 2024 hero Nico Williams transfer.. but agent Lamine Yamal could give Barcelona edge

      by

      ARSENAL and Chelsea are set to fight it out for Spain star Nico Williams this summer – but Barcelona already have an edge over the Premier League sides.Athletic Bilbao forward Williams, 22, scored two and assisted one for Luis de la Fuente’s men at Euro 2024.Nico Williams, right, shone for Spain at the Euros and is now being chased by Arsenal and ChelseaCredit: GettyWilliams was one of the best players at this summer’s EurosThat included the opening goal in Sunday’s final against England as Spain triumphed 2-1 to clinch a record-breaking fourth European Championship.Williams’ stellar Euros comes off the back of a superb campaign for Bilbao which saw him contribute eight goals and 19 assists in 37 appearances.According to The Athletic, signing the winger would require paying the LaLiga club his £49million release clause up front.Williams is at the front of Arsenal’s list of priorities, but it is understood Mikel Arteta would need to sell players to finance the deal.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThe Gunners are linked with selling the likes of Kieran Tierney, Aaron Ramsdale, Reiss Nelson and Eddie Nketiah.Chelsea also remain keen on Williams having monitored him for some time.However, they do already possess a number of options on the flanks – Mykhaylo Mudryk, Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke and Raheem Sterling to name a few.And they are also aware Barcelona appear to be the front-runners to sign Williams.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSLamine Yamal, who occupied the other flank for Spain at the Euros and assisted Williams’ goal in the final, is keen for the Bilbao man to join him at the Nou Camp.Barcelona president Joan Laporta has also made it clear they could pursue Williams.Lamine Yamal accidentally shows world his naked Spain team-mates in live social media blunder after England win He told radio station Catalunya Radio: “Today Barca could cope financially with a signing like Nico Williams.”But it remains unclear whether Laporta’s claims are legitimate as it is widely known Barcelona remain in a difficult financial position.Inside the baffling, brilliant story of Lamine Yamal – from being bathed by Messi to doing homework while taking Euros by stormLAMINE YAMAL has confirmed his status as football’s next superstar at Euro 2024 – but has only been playing 11-a-side games for four years, write Jack Rosser.Spain’s incredible 16-year-old bent home the goal of the tournament so far against France as La Roja sealed the spot in the final.But his first five years in Barcelona’s academy were spent playing seven-a-side football, up until the age of 12 in 2020 when he finally got a crack at 11-a-side games.Yamal’s story is baffling, brilliant and barely believable in equal measure.He is a boy born to a Moroccan father and a mother from Equatorial Guinea, who turned 17 the day before the Euros final, and was cradled by footballing royalty at just six months old.Staggering pictures of Yamal as a baby being held and bathed by Messi, taken for a Barcelona charity calendar 16 years ago, resurfaced this week.He did not restrict his brushes with greatness to Barcelona either, with footage of Yamal as an academy player walking as a mascot with Spain and Real Madrid icon Sergio Ramos at an El Clasico in 2016.There is a touch of fate about this gem, Spain’s “little MVP”, as team-mate Nico Williams has dubbed him.Yamal has been doing homework in his spare time and received exam results during the tournament. He passed, obviously.Now he’s the youngest ever goalscorer at the Euros, also becoming the youngest player to ever start a major semi-final – claiming that title from Pele.But it’s Yamal’s humble approach on and off the pitch that most impresses everyone he meets.And France star Adrien Rabiot probably felt quite embarrassed as he boarded his plane back home from Germany.He had tried to intimidate Yamal ahead of their semi-final clash – telling Yamal he “needs to do more.”Was this good enough, then? Yamal responded with a goal for the ages and a man of the match performance.A season which started with a pre-season game against Tottenham where Yamal excelled but was overshadowed by Oliver Skipp scoring a brace will end on the biggest stage European football has to offer on Sunday.From being outshone by Skipp to eclipsing Pele’s records is not a bad year’s work – just imagine what he will do when he grows up.Read all about the incredible rise of Lamine Yamal in full… More

      Chelsea fans can’t wait for new season as video of training session emerges – but some fear ‘we’re revealing too much’

      by

      CHELSEA fans can’t wait for the start of the new Premier League season after exciting footage of Enzo Maresca’s training sessions emerged.The Blues are finally ready to kickstart their campaign under the Italian after he took over from Mauricio Pochettino at the start of the month.Enzo Maresca has taken charge of his first Chelsea training sessionsCredit: GettyFans were left delighted as the Blues boss got stuck inCredit: GettyMaresca hopes to bring success to Chelsea by changing two key thingsCredit: GettySome fans fear the Blues are giving away too much information to opponentsCredit: GettyMaresca led Leicester to the Championship title playing a swashbuckling style of possession football.And with his first week at Cobham under his belt, the tactician has already been implementing his ideas amongst Chelsea’s star-studded squad — which currently includes one forgotten ace.The Blues put out some amazing footage compiling some of Maresca’s training sessions during his first seven days.And fans were left gushing at the results, although some feared Chelsea are already “revealing too much’ ahead of their opening day clash against champions Manchester City.READ MORE ON CHELSEAMaresca’s sessions indicated a heavy focus on technical and tactical play, a sharp contrast to the physical running style of predecessor Poch.And he first got the ball rolling by putting on his own pair of football boots before taking to the turf.The former City Treble winner then started passing drills, instructing stars like Noni Madueke and Mykhailo Mudyke to just take one touch on the ball.Maresca was heard shouting “move it quicker” as he stood in the centre of the players, giving him a 360 view of the exercise.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSAs the video continued, aces like Benoit Badiashile, Raheem Sterling and Christopher Nkunku came into focus.While returning loanees including Armando Broja were seen taking on board instructions from

star-studded squad at his disposalCredit: GettyMaresca was not shy on the training groundCredit: GettyThe Italian soon whacked on a bib himself and joined in another passing drill.This time, he told players to “pass and move” before hugging a laughing Madueke.The next session saw Maresca bask in the grey skies above Cobham as he joked: “Very fresh!”He showed he still has a graceful touch by practising some keepy-uppies.But the serious work quickly started as he embarked on some positional play.Maresca joined in as he put on a pair of football bootsHe dished out instructions to players including Raheem SterlingThe Italian closed down players during drillsThe likes of Armando Broja were given personal instructionsMaresca yelled “move together” before explaining he wanted constant short exercises swapping between tactical and physical work.Young Brazilian duo Andrey Santos and Angelo were both seen in the background following their loans at Chelsea’s sister club Strasbourg.But also notable was the presence of forgotten man Tino Anjorin, who last featured for the Blues three years and spent last term at Portsmouth.Maresca then observed some of his coaches leading the drills, with the number of passes between players being loudly counted.The tactician shouted: “Quick one touch, if you need two, take two.”Maresca donned a bib before passing the ball aroundHe shared a laugh and joke with Noni MaduekeMaresca charged around Cobham with great vigourThe players were made to undergo a fitness testBut Madueke fell foul of the exercise as Maresca continued: “Noni, two touches, three touches, too much!”He also instructed players to “make the space bigger” as the day ended with a training game.Later in the week, Chelsea resumed with a bleep test to measure levels of fitness, with right-back Malo Gusto coming out on top.Maresca then showed his dedication by getting a number of footballs ready by himself in heavy rain.The Italian also gave more insight into his tactical style, telling stars to lure their opponents close before pinging off a diagonal pass to a team-mate.The bleep test saw Malo Gusto come out on topThe players enjoyed short games in front of the coachesThey even practised their finishing skillsThe players ended the session with a smile on their facesMaresca noted: “Quality passes, short, drive a little bit.”He then got hands-on by physically moving Nkunku into the space he wanted the Frenchman to occupy.And after some 4vs4 matches, Maresca ended things with finishing drills.And he then sat players down before telling them: “Now is the moment we need to work, every day, every day, every day.”Chelsea’s stars certainly appeared invigorated by the new approach as they hugged each other with smiles on their faces.Fans were also left gushing over Maresca’s training methods.One said: “We are f*****g buzzing. We have a coach that’s actually going to teach these players high-level positional and possession-based football.”Another declared: “I totally believe we’re going to win a trophy this season.”One noted: “We’re cooking next season.”However, some fans felt Chelsea were giving too much information away to opponents.One said: “Aren’t we revealing a bit too much? Haven’t seen City or Liverpool show this much.”READ MORE SUN STORIESAnother boomed: “Stop posting, it will be easy for opponents to deal with us.”One added: “I hope this is not exposing our strategy of playing.”Meet Pep Guardiola disciple Enzo MarescaENZO MARESCA is considered among the most exciting young coaches on the planet.Born in Italy in 1980, he managed to guide Leicester to the Championship title in his first season as Foxes boss.His management career started at Italian minnows Ascoli before he was snapped up by Man City in 2020 to manage their Elite Development Squad.He guided the youth team to the Premier League 2 title in his one season working for the Citizens – with Cole Palmer in the side.His first senior job was with Parma but he was sacked after just a few months after failing to impress.Despite the team playing in Serie B and Maresca having an impressive squad he was unable to get them on course for promotion.He returned to Man City and worked as one of Pep Guardiola’s assistants for the 2022/23 season as they won the Treble.He took over relegated Leicester last summer and made an immediate impact, with the Foxes winning the Championship title.Maresca showed his dedication to the job by living at the training ground for the first two months after his appointment.He’s considered something of a Pep disciple and has said: “For a coach, it’s important to have the mentality of a chess player.”During his playing career he played under Carlo Ancelotti and Marcello Lippi – and alongside ex-Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi.

      What is Cole Palmer’s ‘cold’ celebration? England & Chelsea midfielder’s goal salute explained

      by

      COLE Palmer is an England hero after scoring the only goal for his team in the Euro 2024 final against Spain.But some fans have been left wondering how his “cold” celebration came about and what it means.Cole Palmer does his ‘cold’ celebration during the Euro 2024 finalCredit: ReutersPalmer celebrates his goal against Luton in 2023Credit: GettyWhat is Cole Palmer’s ‘cold’ celebration mean?England footie ace Cole Palmer’s “cold” celebration has caught the eye of fans.Every time he scores a goal, the Chelsea star rubs his arms as though he is chilly or cold.The reason for this move is because Palmer is nicknamed “Cold Palmer”.He earnt the nickname – which is a play on his real name – because of his cool composure when scoring a goal.READ MORE ON COLE PALMERPalmer has since explained that he took the celebration from Morgan Rogers, who performed it after scoring in a game against Middlesbrough.He told the Chelsea football club’s website: “My boy Morgs did one for Middlesbrough, so I told him I’d do it too if I scored.”I saw the keeper come out and took it round him. “Once I’d taken it round the keeper I thought the defender on the line was going to come across fast, so if I waited a second I’d have time to put it in. Most read in Football”I was just telling myself to think and keep my composure.”Palmer debuted his ‘cold’ celebration at Chelsea in December 2023, in a match against Luton.Euro Player Rankings 2024It came when he scored a goal for his team in the first 12 minutes of the match.After Palmer mimed feeling cold to celebrate, hordes of gleeful Chelsea fans took to social media.One wrote: “Cold Palmer, my oh my, I have missed you.”While a second gushed: “Cold Palmer is the best English player in the Premier League.”A third swooned: “MORE LIKE COLD PALMER.”And a fourth posted: “Cold Palmer and a Cold celebration.”Another added: “ICE COLD PALMER STRIKES AGAIN.”Fans were then thrilled once again when he did his “cold” celebration again when he scored another goal later on in the match.How else does Cole Palmer celebrate goals?Palmer is also known to shrug when he scores a goal – but only if it is against his old club.When he scored against his former club Manchester City, he was seen shrugging, which annoyed some fans who labelled it a “savage” move.However, defending the shrug Palmer claimed afterwards that he simply “didn’t know what to do” in the moment.He told reporters: “I spent 15 years at the club. “I can’t really go and celebrate how I would usually celebrate if I had scored a 95th-minute equaliser because it would have been disrespectful. The 21-year-old plays up to his nicknameCredit: AFP”So I just decided to do a shrug. I don’t know why.”Palmer joined Chelsea from Manchester City in a £42.5million summer 2024 deal.He quickly endeared himself to the Stamford Bridge faithful, despite his team’s struggles under Mauricio Pochettino.READ MORE SUN STORIESPalmer also attracted the attention of Gareth Southgate and was part of the England squad at the Euro 2024 tournament.He scored the only England goal against Spain in the tense final, and of course did his “cold” celebration.Maybe Kane really is cursed as trophy drought goes on… he may never get a better chance with EnglandIT now seems as though he really is cursed. Along with the rest of us, writes Charlie Wyett.Tragically, unbelievably, Harry Kane’s agonising search for a trophy still continues and you know have to wonder whether he will ever actually manage it.Certainly for England, in any case.Kane has now suffered defeat in three major club finals and two finals of the European Championships.Last night, the Three Lions captain was so ineffective that he was replaced by Ollie Watkins just after the hour.Like much of this tournament, he really struggled to make the impact when England needed him, not that he had much service.He had one shot in the first half and that was Rodri, who subsequently injured himself and went off at the break.When Cole Palmer struck that brilliant equaliser, Kane was off on his feet from the bench, only for the national team to get another kick in the bo**ocks at the end.Kane was substituted in both the games against Switzerland and Holland which England went on to win but on this occasion, he could only witness a gut-wrenching twist just when it looked as though Gareth Southgate’s team had dug their way out of trouble.The Bayern Munich striker suffered the World Cup 2018 semi-final loss against Croatia, endured heartbreak against Italy in the Euro2020 final and then missed from the spot in the World Cup 2022 quarter-final against France.He really thought that this was his time, even though England did not play well in Germany.Kane will know that he will have more opportunities with England. But not many more.The World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico seems a long way away and it will surely be under a new manager. Will England be better than they are now? Probably not.And we are all left to wonder how much better England would have been with a fit and firing Kane at his very best.Read the full verdict on the curse of Harry Kane…Or check out all of Charlie Wyett’s Euro 2024 stories… More
