Liverpool Football Club has reached an agreement in principle to sell their captain, Jordan Henderson, to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq for a deal worth £12 million, with additional add-ons.

Although Henderson traveled with the Liverpool squad to Germany for their training camp, he was not involved in their recent friendly match against Karlsruher. The England midfielder, aged 33, still has two years left on his contract at Anfield.

Interestingly, the move to Al-Ettifaq comes after Al-Ittihad made a £40 million offer for fellow Liverpool midfielder Fabinho last week. Like Henderson, Fabinho did not join the squad in Germany as his future at the club is being resolved.

The transfer to Al-Ettifaq marks an increasing trend of high-profile players moving to Saudi Arabia this summer. Other notable players who have made similar moves include Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante.

Jordan Henderson's journey with Liverpool began in June 2011 when he joined from Sunderland for £20 million. Throughout his time at Anfield, he has made a total of 492 appearances, scoring 33 goals and providing 57 assists.

Henderson has been a key figure for Liverpool, serving as captain during significant triumphs, including the Champions League victory in 2019, followed by the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup titles in the same year. He also played a vital role in securing Liverpool's long-awaited Premier League title in the 2019-2020 season.

Despite his illustrious career at Liverpool, Henderson's potential move to Saudi Arabia has raised concerns among LGBTQ+ campaigners. Same-sex sexual activity is illegal in Saudi Arabia, and the player has previously shown public support for the LGBTQ+ community.

Bjorn Borg's son Leo celebrated his first ATP Tour win with a straight-sets victory over Elias Ymer on clay at the Swedish Open.

Borg, 20, was handed a wildcard entry and beat Swedish compatriot Ymer 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 at the Bastad Tennis Stadium.

Ranked at a lowly 437th, Borg plays mostly on the ITF Tour, the lowest level of the men's professional game.

"I've worked so hard for this, so many years, and some days you get results and today I got a win," he said.

Borg will play Argentina's Federico Coria, who is the world number 113, in the last-16 stage of the tournament.

Bjorn Borg was one of tennis' greatest ever stars and won 11 Grand Slam titles - including five back-to-back Wimbledon titles - in the 1970s and early 1980s before he retired aged only 26.

Nigerian 100m hurdles world record holder Tobi Amusan has vowed to "fight" after being charged with missing three doping tests.

The 26-year-old will miss the World Athletics Championships in Budapest next month if the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) upholds the charge.

The double Commonwealth Games gold medallist denies taking performance-enhancing substances.

Amusan set a new world record in 100m hurdles at the World Championships in Eugene, Oregon in July 2022, crossing the line in 12.12 seconds.

Athletics works to a 'three strikes' rule and it is alleged Amusan missed that number of doping tests in the space of 12 months.

World Athletics' anti-doping rules state any athlete failing to declare their whereabouts for a doping test on three occasions over a 12-month period is ineligible to compete for two years, subject to a reduction to a minimum of one year depending on the degree of fault.

Amusan won the Diamond League meet in Silesia on Sunday, her second win in the series this season after a victory in Stockholm.

The World Athletics Championships will be held in the Hungarian capital from 19-27 August.
