JUDE BELLINGHAM ADDRESSES KYLIAN MBAPPE'S RUMOURED REAL MADRID MOVE - 'HE'D TAKE US TO ANOTHER LEVEL'

-

 Real Madrid have just won their sixth European Cup in 10 years, but Jude Bellingham believes that they can get even better if the rumours of Kylian Mbappe's imminent arrival are true. Mbappe, who struck 44 goals in 48 games for PSG in his final season in the French capital, announced back in May that he would be moving on this summer. All reporting points towards the Frenchman heading to Madrid.


He said: "A player like him...you see tonight I think it's the only little thing that maybe we're missing in terms of that clinical nine and I think if he was to come and give us that, we'd be in a really, really great place."

The only true centre forward in Madrid's squad is former Stoke City striker Joselu. The Spain international is not without his own qualities but is not even technically a Madrid player as he is on loan from Espanyol.

For Bellingham, the injection of Mbappe's qualities would provide significant impact.

He said: "He'd take us to another level."

Given that Real Madrid have won six of the last 10 Champions Leagues, the notion that this group of players could yet improve is a frightening one for their rivals.

But, as Bellingham pointed out, Mbappe is "one of the best players in the world, clearly."


Mbappe scored 44 goals in 48 games this season, before announcing in May that it would be his final campaign in the French capital.

As an international, Mbappe won the 2018 World Cup and 2021 Nations League while also reaching the World Cup final again in 2022. He has contributed 46 goals and 27 assists, and has already equalled Pele with 12 World Cup goals. At the age of 25 he is only four goals behind Miroslav Klose's all-time record.

Iain’t answering no Caitlin Clark questions.' Chennedy Carter mum on hard foul on Fever star.

   INDIANAPOLIS – After the Indiana Fever’s 71-70 win over the Chicago Sky, the topic of discussion is the altercation between Sky guard Chennedy Carter and Fever guard Caitlin Clark at the end of the third quarter.  Carter made a jump shot with 15.8 seconds left in the quarter, then prepared to guard Clark, who was set to receive the inbounds pass. Before the ball was thrown into play, Carter lodged her right forearm into Clark’s back, sending Clark to the floor. The play was ruled an away-from-the-play foul due to it happening before the inbound, but it wasn’t upgraded to a flagrant or technical foul. Clark made the free throw to give Indiana a five-point lead heading into the final period. The full exchange began nearly 20 seconds earlier when Clark appeared to say something to Carter after the Fever recovered a loose ball and scored on offense. Carter came down and got the bucket before knocking Clark over. When initially asked about the interaction in postgame media...

Nigerian footballers will have to learn the words to the new anthem Some Nigerians have expressed outrage after the country's national anthem was changed with little consultation. President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday signed into law the bill to revert to Nigeria’s old national anthem which was dropped by a military government in 1978. The newly re-adopted anthem, which begins "Nigeria, We Hail Thee," was written by Lillian Jean Williams in 1959 and composed by Frances Berda. Speaking on his first anniversary in office, President Tinubu said the anthem symbolised Nigeria's diversity. But many have questioned his priorities amid the cost-of-living crisis. Reacting online, some Nigerians said the country had more pressing problems such as insecurity, rising inflation and a foreign exchange crisis. X user @Gospel_rxx posted: “A new na...

  Israel has continued its assault on Rafah, ignoring a draft resolution to the UN Security Council to “stop the killing” in the city in southern Gaza. New air attacks were reported across the southernmost city on Wednesday morning, hours after witnesses and a Palestinian security source said Israeli tanks had penetrated the heart of Rafah. People are currently inside their homes because anyone who moves is being shot at by Israeli drones,” resident Abdel Khatib said. Israeli air strikes targeted various parts of the city, including the vicinity of the Badr camp and the Zourob roundabout west of the city, according to Palestinian news agency Shehab. A complete shutdown of telecommunications and internet services throughout Rafah is also reported.
