      ‘One day someone is going to die’ – Fans concerned as struggling Uruguay star forced to take OXYGEN 4km above sea level

      by

      FOOTBALL fans were left stunned after seeing a Champions League star need the support of an oxygen mask to breathe during a game 4,000km above sea level.The scenes were an unbelievable sight during a World Cup qualifying clash between Bolivia and Uruguay.Jose Gimenez was seen breathing heavily near the end of Uruguay’s clash with BoliviaHe needed an oxygen maskThe match was being played at a stadium more than 4km above sea levelIn the final few minutes of the game, Atletico Madrid star Jose Gimenez was seen breathing heavily before walking off the pitch to pick up an oxygen mask.The 30-year-old is then seen breathing into the mask to combat the difficult conditions he was playing in at the Villa Ingenio stadium in El Alto.The stadium sits a staggering 13,615 feet or 4.1kilometres above sea level.The Bolivian FA remarkably decided to move to this venue last October to help them qualify for the World Cup in 2026.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLBolivia have always been tough to beat at home due to their traditional home, La Paz, sitting 11,940 feet above sea level. But three defeats in five games in World Cup qualifying left them in dire need of a result and prompted the switch to the venue 2,000 feet higher.At the height of the new venue, total air density decreases to around 0.82 grams per litre of which there is only roughly 0.17 grams of oxygen per litre.Less oxygen means more difficulty breathing, which naturally is counterproductive in a sport like football when players are constantly on the move.Most read in SportThe Bolivia clash ended 0-0 with Uruguay defender Gimenez able to complete the match, but fans on social media were disgusted at the risks being taken for the match.One fan on social media said: “One day someone is going to die.”Argentina players celebrate humiliating rivals Brazil in World Cup qualifier A second said: “Crazy!!”A third added: “South American football is something else.”The plan has not exactly gone to plan for Bolivia either, failing to win either game at home since the move.

      Arsenal target £60m Hugo Ekitike, 22, as transfer alternative to Isak but face battle with Premier League rivals

      by

      ARSENAL are targeting Eintracht Frankfurt star Hugo Ekitike — as an alternative to Newcastle’s Alexander Isak.Toon hero Isak, 25, is the most sought-after striker in world football and the Gunners may be priced out as the Carabao Cup winners hold out for £150MILLION.Arsenal want to sign Frankfurt striker Hugo EkitikeCredit: AFPAlexander Isak may prove to be too expensive as Newcastle slap a whopping price tag on the SwedeCredit: GettyFrenchman Ekitike, 22, has caught the eye of a number of Prem clubs — who have asked to be kept informed of his potential availability.German side Frankfurt are expected to demand around £60m for a player who boasts 19 goals this season.Ekitike was a target for Newcastle in January 2022 — when the forward rejected a move to St James’ Park — before Magpies chiefs signed Swede Isak in the following summer window.The France Under-21 international, who hit a hat-trick against Lee Carsley’s Young Lions on Friday, has shone in the Bundesliga after joining from Paris Saint-Germain permanently last summer following a loan spell.READ MORE ON ARSENALHe also has eight assists in all competitions for Frankfurt this season.During the 5-3 win over England U21s, Ekitike scored twice from close range — including one back-heeled finish — as well as chipping the ball over keeper James Beadle.Having impressed in the Bundesliga and Europa League, the ex-PSG man is now keen to step up and wants a move to a Champions League club.Ekitike does not have a release clause but is expected to move this summer as a number of teams seek a new No 9.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSThe striker will have a chance to impress English suitors as Frankfurt face Tottenham in a two-legged Europa League quarter-final on April 10 and 17.Mikel Arteta is in need of a hotshot as Arsenal look set to finish second in the Prem for a THIRD year on the spin.Hugo Ekitike shows off his football skills at Reims training Ekitike has been in fine form for his club and France’s U21sCredit: EPAThe Gunners boss has been left short in attack with injuries after failing to sign a forward in the past two windows.Arsenal have drawn ten Prem games compared to champions-elect Liverpool’s seven and scored 16 fewer goals — 69 to 53 — than the runaway leaders.Arteta has been forced to use midfielder Mikel Merino as an emergency striker with Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka all sidelined.But Emirates chiefs are likely to face competition from a number of Premier League rivals.Chelsea are desperately looking to add a No 9 to their squad amid Nicolas Jackson’s struggles and injury this season.Manchester United like Ekitike as an upgrade on Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, too.Sporting star Viktor Gyokeres — another potential Gunners target — is also tipped to be reunited with former boss Ruben Amorim at United.Ten strikers who could be on the move this summerANDREA BERTA begins at Arsenal with a puzzle facing almost all top sporting directors this summer.The Gunners’ incoming transfer guru will be tasked with finding the striker many think can take Mikel Arteta’s side over the line to win a title. But it is not only Berta searching for a new No 9.Mikel Arteta has been forced to play Mikel Merino up front latelyCredit: AlamyPremier League rivals Chelsea, Manchester United and champions-elect Liverpool are on the hunt for a new marksman in a very limited market.Alexander Isak sits at the top of almost everyone’s list but Newcastle are adamant the 25-year-old Swede is going nowhere.That tough stance will be tested if the Toon fall short of Champions League football but the Magpies’ eye-watering £150million valuation looks likely to prevent any deal.Premier League financial rules are partly the reason Isak is still at St James’ Park as even the biggest clubs have to make sure the sums add up before splashing huge fees.The same issue applies to any club looking to bring former Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez back from Atletico Madrid. The Argentinian would cost £100m-plus.Most clubs will have to identify the best alternative to those two.One industry source said: “Isak is the best No 9 in the world on form at the moment but he is too expensive and PSR [Profit and Sustainability Rules] is proving a problem for many clubs.”Eintracht Frankfurt star Hugo Ekitike, Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres and Liam Delap, leading the line for struggling Ipswich, are all being tracked by top clubs ahead of what could be a fine summer if you happen to be a striker keen on a change of scenery.Plenty of clubs are after Viktor Gyokeres of SportingCredit: GettyLiam Delap is likely to be in the Premier League next season… even if Ipswich are notCredit: GettyRB Leipzig hitman Benjamin Sesko looks set for a Prem switch, while Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic could be considered if other deals fail.All of those looking to move will hope a club has the bottle to spend big on a new leading man.Signing a centre-forward can be a tricky business. West Ham have made a sport out of signing duds up top, burning through 33 of them since 2010.There are not many about, they command the biggest fees and arrive under great pressure.It has become such a tricky practice that managers are often scared to make a wrong step and buy no one, as Arsenal did in January.Managers want to be careful and know a bad signing could result in them being shown the door down the line.But you do not win anything in football through caution and overthinking about adding the right character — prioritising nice lads over lethal finishers.At some point the Gunners, and their rivals, are going to have to take a risk. Especially if they cannot afford the ready-made Isak.While United and Chelsea are in a similar boat to Arsenal when it comes to finding a forward.The Red Devils have bungled their business when it comes to signing No 9s in recent years.Join SUN CLUB for the Arsenal Files every Friday plusin-depth coverage and exclusives from The EmiratesNeither Rasmus Hojlund or Joshua Zirkzee were ready to step in as a the one to lead the line and are a cause for embarrassment in the corridors of power at Old Trafford. Their failures make the pressure on the next addition even greater.Ex-Coventry man Gyokeres, another Swedish sensation, at Sporting appears to be a sure thing with six goals in his last four league games.But there remains the risk of signing a player who, despite impressing in the Champions League, is untested in the Premier League.Gyokeres is likely to be high on Ruben Amorim’s wish-list considering he scored 66 goals in 68 games under the United boss.But Sporting will demand north of £60m and given Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s assertion United could have run out of money by Christmas, there is concern they cannot splash significant cash come the summer.Any clubs operating on a budget will have checked out Lille’s Jonathan David, available on a free transfer.While there will be no transfer fee involved, any deal is expected to still cost around £20m once agency fees and a signing-on bonus are taken into account.Chelsea do have the funds to bring a striker in and are monitoring the progress of Tractor Boys talisman Delap as they look for an upgrade on Nicolas Jackson.Their ability to attract the best will hinge on whether Enzo Maresca can get the Blues to the promised land of Champions League qualification.Miss out and they may have to get clever or take a gamble that someone like Frenchman Jean-Philippe Mateta can continue his impressive form for Crystal Palace on a bigger stage.READ MORE SUN STORIESAny ambitious club could look into the possibility of luring England captain Harry Kane back to surpass Alan Shearer’s Premier League 260-goal record, once he has broken that trophy duck with Bayern Munich.Whether it be Berta at Arsenal, the duo of Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart at Stamford Bridge or Jason Wilcox at United, all sporting directors and, more significantly their managers, will be staking their reputation on a striker this summer.Harry Kane knows a thing or two about scoring at the EmiratesCredit: GettyJean-Philippe Mateta has been a revelation under Oliver Glasner at Crystal PalaceCredit: GettyBenjamin Sesko may be on his way to the Premier LeagueCredit: Getty More

      Inside axed F1 star Liam Lawson’s glamorous life with stunning model Wag as he’s set to be brutally replaced by Red Bull

      by

      LIAM LAWSON has had nothing short of a nightmare start to life at Red Bull this year.After a strong debut replacing Daniel Ricciardo at VCARB in 2023 and then again in 2024, the 23-year-old started out his first race with the team by failing to finish the Australian Grand Prix. Liam Lawson is set to be axed by Red Bull after a horror start to his F1 career thereCredit: AFPBut Lawson leads a glamorous life off the track with girlfriend Hannah St. JohnCredit: INSTAGRAMShe is often seen accompanying him to race weekends around the paddockCredit: INSTAGRAMThe couple have been dating for two yearsCredit: INSTAGRAMThey happily share loved-up snaps togetherCredit: INSTAGRAMHannah graduated from Arizona State University after studying biological and biomedical sciencesCredit: INSTAGRAMHe then followed this up with an even more embarrassing weekend in China as he qualified dead last in both Sprint and normal qualifying while failing to score any points for his team.But for Lawson, who revealed his parents had to sell their house to fund his Formula One dream, his Red Bull nightmare is set to come to a close before the next race at the Japanese Grand Prix.The New Zealander is on the verge of being swapped to sister team Racing Bulls in favour of Yuki Tsunoda, who was the main rival for the Red Bull seat alongside Max Verstappen before Lawson landed it.However, despite his F1 career starting out in horror fashion, Lawson can be thankful for a glamorous lifestyle away from the circuit with stunning girlfriend Hannah St. John.READ MORE IN F1The pair have been dating one another for two years and are often seen sharing loved-up images with one another on Instagram.Hannah typically splits her time between her home city of California and London while also studying at Arizona State University.While there she studied biological and biomedical sciences, graduating back in December, but has carved out a fledgling career as a social media influencer and model.The beauty has already amassed over 40,000 followers on Instagram.Most read in MotorsportBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKShe treats her fans to her epic lifestyle, which included being back stage at Luke Combs’ Nashville concert last January.Hannah also shares plenty of bikini snaps online, showing off her enviable figure.Meet F1 2025 rookies including star gifted first go-kart by Michael Schumacher and Brit teen who’s already a millionaire To top it off, she enjoys travelling – most recently, she went on a glam ski strip to Deer Valley in Utah.She has also been a constant presence in the F1 paddock whenever Lawson, who started out his career in the motorsport with a string of substitute appearances, is there.With one million followers of his own on Instagram, Lawson is no stranger to the buzz of social media and often posts snaps from day-to-day life.Whether that is his time at the track or jetting around on holiday with Hannah or even hitting the gym.One pic shows him hanging out with stars from the Los Angeles Rams NFL team, a second shows him driving a more than £100,000 Shelby while another features him on the front cover of GQ Magazine.Despite the lavish lifestyle, Lawson has a relatively modest salary compared to his rivals.He earns £800,000 a year, though that value could decrease once his demotion to Racing Bulls is complete, with Tsunoda in turn getting a pay rise.Tsunoda, 24, said he would happily swap seats for his home race.However, Lawson bit back by saying: “He can say whatever he wants. I’ve raced him for years, raced him in the junior categories and beat him.”If I look back over our career, I was team-mates with him in F3 and I beat him. In Euro Formula, I was team-mates with him in New Zealand, and I beat him there.”And then in F1 last season, I think honestly, if I look at all the times he got promoted instead of me in those early years, then no. He’s had his time. Now it’s my time.”Despite Lawson’s claim, he was out-qualified by Tsunoda 7-2 when the pair were team-mates during the closing stages of last season. It was also 4-2 in the Japanese driver’s favour for the five races Lawson subbed in for Ricciardo during the 2023 season.The driver swap decision has reportedly left main man Verstappen frustrated, with the four-time world champion having previously sang Lawson’s praises.READ MORE SUN STORIESHe said: “That Racing Bulls car is easier to drive than ours. I notice that when I talk to Liam. Last year the difference between him and Yuki wasn’t that big, I thought.”Otherwise the team wouldn’t have made the choice to put Liam in at Red Bull.” More
