      Jhon Duran set for medical ahead of £65m Al-Nassr transfer in move that KO’s Arsenal’s Ollie Watkins bid

      ASTON VILLA striker Jhon Duran is set for a medical with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr.The Colombian has reportedly agreed personal terms ahead of a £65million blockbuster move to the Saudi Pro League.

The Gunners tabled an audacious £60m bid for the Villa forward on Wednesday afternoon. According to The Athletic, Duran has penned a five-and-a-half-year deal in Saudi.The 21-year-old – who joined Unai Emery’s side from Chicago Fire in 2023 – only signed a new contract in October.READ MORE ON FOOTBALLIt kept the fan-favourite at Villa Park until 2030. Duran has netted 12 goals in 29 appearances for Villa this season, with the majority of his action from the subs bench.

He then stopped Rayan Ait-Nouri in a one-on-one in the 84th minute.MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY – 6Was having another fine game before being the victim of one of most ludicrous red cards in Prem history. His cynical trip was worthy of a yellow and nothing more.WILLIAM SALIBA – 7Arsenal just look so solid with him in this backline. A welcome return from a minor hamstring injury. Kept Cunha at bay.GABRIEL – 7Led from the front and put his body on the line. Constantly headed away from danger.JURRIEN TIMBER – 6Hit with some nasty challenges that required treatment – including one that had Joao Gomes sent off – but carried on playing and was resolute.DECLAN RICE – 7More of a goal threat than in recent weeks and stood up when Arsenal needed him.THOMAS PARTEY – 7Steady Eddie for most parts back in his favoured midfield position after spells at right-back this season. Displayed his importance to this side once more.ETHAN NWANERI – 6Unfortunately made way at half-time as a sacrificial lamb following Lewis-Skelly’s sending off. Was a lively, creative spark in the first-half.LEANDRO TROSSARD – 5In the absence of Bukayo Saka, the Belgian is on corner-taking duty, but his deliveries were woeful. A quiet afternoon that sums up why he is in and out of the team currently.GABRIEL MARTINELLI – 6Was lacking that clinical edge in the first half, but came up with the cross after the break that led to Arsenal’s vital opener.KAI HAVERTZ – 7Missed two glorious first half chances with his head and another in the second half, but worked tirelessly on his own – especially with Arsenal down to ten.SUBS:RICCARDO CALAFIORI (NWANERI, 45) – 8The sort of goal that keeps title dreams alive. Added real height and danger aerially, as well as a sweet volley from a tough angle.KIERAN TIERNEY (MARTINELLI, 87) – N/ADuring his time with the Bees, Watkins said: “Yeah, that’s the dream, to play for Arsenal one day. “But, you know, it’s a long shot.” More

      Meet Mathys Tel, the teenage prodigy dubbed the ‘next Anelka’ who is sparking transfer scramble by Premier League clubs

      by

      MATHYS TEL is Bayern Munich’s record-breaking French prodigy who could be on the move to the Premier League. Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham have been circling around the 19-year-old whizkid, with Blues fans even hailing him as the next Nicolas Anelka. Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel may be on the move to the Premier League in the transfer windowThe youngster wants out from Bayern in this transfer window, with him sitting on the bench in the club’s last three games. And since Michael Olise’s arrival, Tel has made just seven Bundesliga appearances this season – with two of them being starts. Chelsea are reportedly ready to loan Christopher Nkunku as part of a deal to land Tel, with a fee of £58million being mooted. Man Utd and Spurs are said to be interested, as are Arsenal, with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus injured.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThe next Nicholas Anelka According to BILD, Tel has made it clear that he doesn’t want to go to Chelsea – because the competition for places there is just as big as in Munich. But Tel does want to move away from Bavaria because he is hungry for game time. That will be a major blow to Chelsea fans’ dreams of landing the next Anelka. One supporter wrote on X: “When I see Tel, I see a young Anelka.”Most read in FootballSUN BINGO GET £50 BONUS & 50 FREE SPINS TODAYNicolas Anelka starred for Chelsea during his spell in West LondonCredit: PA:Empics SportTurns out the teenager has previously shared how he idolises the former Blues striker. When asked why he wears the number 39, Tel said: “Because I already had it at Rennes and also because Nicolas Anelka wore it. I like Anelka, he was a really good player.”Man Utd stars hit Ruben Amorim as he runs birthday gauntlet in training… and is left holding his backRetired French ace Anelka, who played at Chelsea between 2008-2012, won the Premier League, FA Cup twice and Community Shield as a Blues player. Where it all began Tel was born in a Northern suburb of Paris called Sarcelles, playing as a youngster for local clubs Villiers Le Bel, Paris FC, ASJ Aubervilliers and Montrouge FC as well as spending time at the renowned Clairefontaine academy. Tel actually started out as a centre-back but it soon became clear that he would be better used as a forward due to his exceptional dribbling and finishing skills. As a fresh-faced 15-year-old he signed for Rennes, where he went on a meteoric rise. In August 2021, Tel became the youngest player ever to turn out for Rennes when he came on for the final five minutes of their 1-1 draw at Brest. He was just 16-years, three-months and 19-days-old when he made his competitive debut and was already 6ft tall. Tel was captain of the France U17 team when they lifted the Euros trophy in Israel in the summer of 2022. The forward played a key role in the push towards Euros glory, with three goals and an assist in the group stage before scoring in penalty shootout wins over Germany and Portugal. He lifted the trophy as captain following a 2-1 success against the Netherlands in the final on 1 June.Tel burst onto the scene as a 16-year-old at RennesCredit: GettyRecord breaker Tel is already a record-breaker, after becoming Bayern’s youngest-ever goalscorer when at 17-years-old and 126-days he was on target in his side’s 5-0 DFB Cup triumph against Viktoria Cologne in August 2022. He beat the club’s previous record holder, Jamal Musiala (17 years, 205 days).It didn’t take long for him to then make his full Bundesliga debut against VfB Stuttgart on 10 September, toasting the occasion with his first top-flight goal.The Frenchman got off to a blinding start to last season, with five goals in his first eight games as Thomas Tuchel showed faith. He laid down a huge marker, notching an impressive two goals – both match-winners, against Manchester United and Copenhagen – and one assist in eight Champions League matches. The glittering campaign prompted Bayern to extend his contract through to 2029. Tel quickly made an impact upon his 2022 Bayern switchCredit: GettyHigh praise His Bayern team-mate Thomas Muller said: “You can see that he wants to score goals – that’s a great quality. “Thinking back to when Arjen Robben was playing, we used to think he should have been looking for the pass, but he was so focused on scoring and he scored a lot. “Mathys should keep doing his thing: firing shots in on goal. He’s a superb finisher.”He’s only 18 and is making the most of it at the moment. He’s always positive, always has a smile on his face and has great finishing in training and in matches.”Former Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann added: “He’s a very young, talented player who can play different positions. “He’s very quick, strong with his body. He’s good at defending the ball with his back towards the opponent’s goal… I have the vision that he could score 40 goals [in a season like Robert Lewandowski] one day in the future.”Thomas Muller is among those to have offered high praise of TelCredit: GettyWho would he suit?Having initially played up top for Bayern during the 2022-23 campaign, Tel has mostly been selected on the wing in the years since.A right-footed forward, Tel likes to drift into an inside-left position.At Chelsea he would likely come up against the likes of Jadon Sancho, Pedro Neto, Joao Felix and Nicolas Jackson for minutes, so may not get the regular game time that he craves.Man Utd may be a good landing spot, although the Red Devils may have to flog one of Marcus Rashford or Alejandro Garnacho to make the deal happen.Tottenham, meanwhile, could almost certainly offer the game time, having been crippled by injuries this season.READ MORE SUN STORIESAnge Postecoglou’s side are still fighting on four fronts, which would give Tel plenty of opportunities to shine.Attackers Dominic Solanke, Timo Werner, Brennan Johnson and Wilson Odobert are all missing through injury, while Son Heung-min and Richarlison will need their minutes carefully managed – although Spurs are also claimed to be trying to sign Brentford’s Yoane Wissa.

It read: “Manchester City FC can confirm that there has been a fire in one of the outside merchandise kiosks, located near the entrance to the Colin Bell West Stand.”Emergency services are present at the scene and the fire has now been extinguished. “The safety of all attending the match tonight is our top priority, and as such all events planned for West Stand reception have been cancelled, including the welcome event for new players, and the first team arrival.”Most read in FootballA spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said: “Just before 6pm this evening (Wednesday 29th January), two fire engines from Blackley and Philips Park fire station were called to reports of a building fire involving an outbuilding on the car park of the football ground on Rowsley Street, Manchester.“Crews arrived quickly at the scene.

      My day with Amir Khan had me floored, what I saw is a million miles from the flash, cocky character fans think he is

      by

      TO some Amir Khan is just another flash, multimillionaire boxer… but I saw the real side of him only minutes after we met.Having raked in a whopping £60MILLION just from fighting, he’s been able to afford a life that few can even dream of.Amir Khan knows how to spend his well-earned cashCredit: Instagram / @amirkingkhanHe lives a life of luxuryCredit: Instagram / @amirkingkhanBut the father-of-three is a doting dad and family manCredit: Instagram / @amirkingkhanKhan earned £60m from his world title-winning careerCredit: News Group Newspapers LtdKhan’s been pictured behind the wheel of fast cars, welcomed cameras into homes as big as hotels and loves to wear expensive jewellery.On his rise to becoming one of British boxing’s greats he would also trash-talk opponents.With his beautiful, successful wife on his arm, it’s little wonder some boxing fans find it hard to relate to the cocky boy from Bolton.So I was floored when I met him.READ MORE IN BOXINGI spoke to the British legend in Dubai – where he now lives with his family – while he was supporting his protege Haider Khan – of no relation – in his MMA fight.The last time I interviewed Khan was in Saudi Arabia last February – albeit briefly – about a potential comeback and the legacy he’s left.A year on, and not much changed as I quizzed him on similar topics.But this time I got to see the kind-hearted nature fo Khan, who single-handedly revived Great Britain’s Olympic boxing hopes in 2004.Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSKhan agreed to leave his VIP cageside seat to speak to me, while I sprinted from the press area to ensure I didn’t miss my one-to-one opportunity.But as I tried to take Khan backstage to find a quieter place to talk – security stopped me in my tracks.Amir Khan reveals talks with KSI’s camp and opens door to shock fight after controversial Wayne Bridge bout collapsesThey failed to recognise who the former light-welterweight champion of the world was – refusing to let him backstage without a media pass.I feared my interview chances would be KO’d there and then – but Khan showed his humanity and laughed off the snub.The boxing great – one of the best and most recognisable to ever come out of our shores – was far too humble to tell the jobsworth security who he was.If I wasn’t in such a rush to get interviewing Khan, I would’ve explained to the staffer that he was talking to the man who won Olympic silver aged just 17.The legend who lifted world championships at 22 and retired with one of the best records of the modern era.But, we were against the clock so luckily a member of staff with security clearance brought Khan through.And just as I thought we could get the interview underway, a member of the Coca-Cola Arena team – originally from Manchester – recognised Khan.Khan won Olympic silver aged just 17Credit: PAHe was already a star by the time he turned proCredit: Kenny Ramsay – The Sun GlasgowKhan became world champ at just 22Credit: News Group Newspapers LtdAnd again, the down-to-earth 38-year-old was asking this super-fan all about her life, why she now lives in Dubai, why she left England.Sensing my precious time with Khan was slipping away, I did finally manage to get our chat underway.But still, I was left stunned with the lack of ego he had shown in just the short period we had rubbed shoulders.Khan helped keep funding for Team GB alive after medalling in Athens before turning pro a year later as an already household name.And before even winning his first world title in 2009, he was a pay-per-view star making huge amounts of money.Khan then took his career to America and that’s when he really made the big bucks.And outside of the ropes, Khan has made waves.Khan married Faryal Makhdoom in 2013Credit: ¥The couple’s relationship has been under the spotlightCredit: Instagram / @amirkingkhanBut they seem happier than everCredit: Instagram / @amirkingkhanHe married Faryal Makhdoom in 2013 and their relationship has been under the spotlight ever since.It’s something the couple at times courted, having taken part in three seasons of reality TV series Meet the Khans: Big in Bolton.Khan has been accused of cheating on Faryal several times over the years – causing them to almost split.But the boxer has hailed New York-born Faryal as “very forgiving” after admitting to doing “silly things” in his past.The couple now appear happier than ever and share three children, Lamaisah, ten, Alayna, six and Muhammad Zaviyar, four.They are also living in Dubai after leaving the UK in the wake of Khan’s horrifying gunpoint robbery.Khan had a £72,000 watch snatched off him by a masked gunman on the streets of East London in April 2022.Khan relocated to Dubai after leaving the

rob and possession of an imitation firearm.Bana was jailed for nine years and eight months – while Campbell was locked up for seven years and nine months.The watch was also returned by police – but Khan was too fearful to remain living at home.He told us: “Look, I can walk around wearing anything, doing anything.”I can leave my car door open, it’s just so much safer here. I think the law is much more strict, I think people like us need that.”Khan still enjoys the finer things in life, posing in supercars, showing off his collection of luxury watches and settling down in a huge mansion.Khan runs his own humanitarian foundationCredit: Scott Hornby – The SunHe has helped construct schools and orphanages and provided disaster aidCredit: Scott Hornby – The SunKhan most recently helped victims of the Gaza attacksCredit: Instagram / @amirkingkhanHe also gives back.Khan runs his own humanitarian foundation, helping construct schools and orphanages in Africa and providing disaster relief in Pakistan, Nepal and England.More recently, Khan has been helping victims of the Gaza attacks, providing food and supplies to those affected.He also helps mentor young fighters, like Adam Azim and Tal Singh, which keeps him in the sport.But Khan is no longer a fighter – as of now anyway – having retired in 2022 after finally facing nemesis Kell Brook.It was a rivalry born from their amateur days and spanning nearly two decades by the time they shared the ring – admittedly past their primes.Khan was stopped in six rounds and hung up his gloves afterwards – doing so with no regrets and a new pal in Brook.This is the moment Kell Brook ended Khan’s careerCredit: Richard Pelham / The SunThe grudge match had been brewing for nearly 20 yearsCredit: Richard Pelham / The SunKhan retired with no regretsCredit: GettyHe said: “I had to do it for the UK fans, the British fans.”They wanted to see that fight and even though I knew I was done, I still had to give them that UK fight between me and Kell Book.”I mean we’re friends now, we were never friends. Sometimes it takes punching each other in the face to become friends.”Khan fought a who’s who across four different weights, from greats of the past and present.But it is only now in retirement that he gets the flowers he truly deserves.He said: “When you retire, that’s when you realise you was a great champion for Great Britain.”I put some great fights on television at home. I had great times, UK fans, I do love them and they were amazing.”The boxing legend is still the star of the show wherever he goesCredit: GettyKhan starred on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!Credit: Rex FeaturesKhan and Faryal had their own BBC reality showCredit: BBCYou’d think with his multiple charities, looking after the next crop of fighters and being such a family man, Khan would stay happily retired.But his name continues to be called out by the new-wave of celebrities-turned-boxers such as KSI.And he grinned: “Look we’re prize fighters, we talk numbers.  “If the numbers match then yeah, it’s a fight, but if not, then if it’s all just hype and talk, it’s not gonna work.  “But look, yeah there was talks about it and they asked me a question, if I’ll be up for it.”Yeah, I mean, I’m a fighter. Every fighter is up for a fight so yeah, let’s see.”Khan – who has boxed since the age of 11 – has achieved everything there is to win in boxing.READ MORE SUN STORIESBut while returning for just one more bout against a prankster-turned-prizefighter would earn him another handsome payday, it also comes at the risk of ruining his reputation.And as I found out first-hand, that is a well-deserved reputation of a legend inside and outside of the ring, who I will always thank for letting me meet up close and personal.Khan was all smiles talking to SunSport More

      Man Utd flop Antony could be joined at Real Betis by fellow Red Devils outcast as they target loan transfer

      by

      REAL BETIS are reportedly ready to offer Tyrell Malacia an Old Trafford escape. The Red Devils have already sent Antony on loan to the LaLiga club for the remainder of the season.Tyrell Malacia has been linked with a loan move away from Manchester UnitedCredit: GettyThe Dutchman could be teaming up with Antony at Real BetisCredit: GettyAntony has endured a miserable time in the North West since signing for £85.5million in September 2022. He joined Betis – currently 10th in Spain’s top tier – last Friday, but didn’t play in a 1-0 win over Mallorca at the weekend.Malacia has also struggled at Old Trafford after becoming Erik ten Hag’s first signing in June of the same year. He has appeared in just 25 games across the last three seasons, failing to notch either a goal or assist. READ MORE ON MAN UTDMalacia only returned to first-team football last November after serious knee surgery. The 25-year-old was sidelined for 15 months but has since been unable to nail down a place under Ruben Amorim.According to The Mail, Betis are preparing a late loan bid for Malacia before Monday’s deadline. The full-back is desperate for regular minutes, with United hoping to bring in Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu. Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSShould Dorgu join United before the deadline, Malacia would be pushed further down the pecking order.He has appeared only seven times this season after making his triumphant return from injury.Which Manchester United stars should stay and go?All of those appearances have been off the bench, including in United’s dramatic 2-1 Europa League win over Rangers last week.Malacia told United’s official website prior to his return: “I always want to play good games, so it doesn’t matter against who. “I feel sharp and I feel ready. All I want to do is to play football. “It’s been a long time so I’m happy to be back.”MAN UTD PLAYER RATINGS: Maguire puts in superb defensive display but Garnacho caught running into blind alleysMANCHESTER UNITED secured a hard-fought three points against Fulham.Lisandro Martinez’s deflected strike proved to be the difference in what was the Red Devils’ only shot on target all game.Harry Maguire impressed but Alejandro Garnacho once again failed to impress in what could have been his Man Utd farewell amid rumours linking him with Napoli and Chelsea.Here is how SunSport rated the individual performances.Andre Onana – 7Good save low down to his left to keep out an Alex Iwobi shot early doors.Other than that he was barely tested but no glaring errors mean it is a step in the right direction for the Red Devils No1.Diogo Dalot – 6Had a difficult time in the first half up against Iwobi who was Fulham’s main attacking threat.Switched to the left flank in the second half and supported Garnacho without posing much of a threat.Matthijs de Ligt – 8Another strong showing at the back from the Dutchman. Without his support for Dalot, Fulham may have created a goal down United’s right-hand side.Harry Maguire – 9A superb defensive display from the England star who has been one of United’s best players since Amorim took charge.Pulled off a brilliant header at the back post to deny Rodrigo Muniz a certain goal.Lisandro Martinez – 8Superb last-ditch tackle to prevent Emile Smith Rowe from shooting as he burst through on goal.His goal had a big slice of luck as it was deflected past Bernd Leno but credit to him for having the audacity to shoot.Noussair Mazraoui – 7Solid at the back and tried to get forward when he could. United looked more balance with him on the left and Dalot on the right, although the pair swapped at half-time.Manuel Ugarte – 6Showed some nice touches and was a bit of a menace in the middle – in a positive and negative sense. Kept a close eye on Smith Rowe and allowed him no time on the ball.Booked for a foul on Adama Traore and was taken off shortly afterwards with an injury.Bruno Fernandes – 5Not at his best. Barely saw the ball in the first half and was not very effective when he did get it.Amad Diallo – 6Looked bright on the ball and United’s only real outlet going forward.He worked tirelessly and pressed really well – his hard work paid off when he found the back of the net in stoppage time but his effort was chalked off.Alejandro Garnacho – 3Was cautious on the ball and ran into blind alleys too often. Final ball let him down on the rare occasion he did manage to beat a defender.Rasmus Hojlund – 4His hold up play is nowhere near good enough for this system or for a club like United.He was too gung-ho at times and his erratic nature meant linking up with Amad and Garnacho proved difficult.Hauled off before the hour mark which says it all about his performance.Subs:Leny Yoro (for De Ligt, 58mins) – 6A more assured display given his shaky start to life in the Premier League.Joshua Zirkzee (for Hojlund, 58mins) – 5Like Hojlund he had a difficult time holding the ball up but United improved with him on the pitch.Toby Collyer (for Ugarte, 76mins ) – 6Solid display again from the youngster who was often in the right position to clear, including one on the line to stop a Joachim Andersen header from going in.Kobbie Mainoo (for Garnacho, 80mins) – 6Provided energy in midfield and shored things up alongside Collyer.A brilliant one-two with Amad set up the winger to score before VAR ruled Amad offside.Tyrell Malacia (for Mazraoui, 80mins) – 6Brought on in an unfamiliar right wing-back role but did what was needed to see out the clean sheet.United are hoping Antony can rediscover the form which made him one of Europe’s most exciting wingers at Ajax.READ MORE SUN STORIESSince joining almost three years ago, the Brazilian has made 96 appearances but only contributed 12 goals and five assists.Antony has picked up 14 yellow cards during this time – more than the amount of goals he scored.
