Brighton Secures Lewis Dunk with Contract Extension until 2026

Brighton's esteemed captain, Lewis Dunk, has agreed to a contract extension that will keep him at the club until 2026. The 31-year-old central defender has been a mainstay at Brighton since his debut in League One back in 2010, accumulating an impressive 416 appearances.

Manager Roberto de Zerbi expressed his delight at the news, stating, "It's great news for both Lewis and the club. I'm truly thrilled that he has signed this new contract."

Brighton had a remarkable season, finishing sixth in the Premier League, securing their first-ever qualification for European competition.

Dunk, who earned his sole England cap during a friendly triumph over the USA in 2018, was recently called up for the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia. Unfortunately, he had to withdraw due to injury.

Having been appointed as Brighton's club captain in 2019, Dunk continues to be a pivotal figure in the team's success and will now continue his journey with the club until 2026.

In contrast, Banda emphasized that the players' attention is firmly fixed on their upcoming tournament opener against former world champions, Japan, scheduled for July 22.

"I'm not in a position of answering that because I'm just a player, my job is to be on the pitch, not on the technical side," said Banda.

"Mostly, I think as players our mind is just on the pitch, the rest we leave to the management and whatever comes up it's up to them. Our job is just to work on the pitch."

One female player, who did not want to be named, told The Guardian: "If he [Mwape] wants to sleep with someone, you have to say yes.

"It's normal that the coach sleeps with the players in our team."

July 11, 2023 Tottenham Secure Signing of Winger Manor Solomon from Shakhtar Donetsk

Tottenham Secure Signing of Winger Manor Solomon from Shakhtar Donetsk

Tottenham Hotspur has successfully completed the signing of winger Manor Solomon from Shakhtar Donetsk on a five-year contract.

The 23-year-old Israeli talent had an impressive loan spell at Fulham last season, scoring five goals in 24 appearances.

Solomon becomes Tottenham's fourth acquisition of the summer transfer window, joining the ranks of winger Dejan Kulusevski, goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, and England midfielder James Maddison.

After finishing eighth in the Premier League last season and missing out on European qualification, Tottenham's latest signing brings a fresh dimension to their attacking options. 

The winger's journey to Fulham began when he exercised a FIFA rule allowing Ukraine-based players to suspend their contracts. This rule, introduced by the world governing body following the invasion by Russia, allowed players who are not Ukrainian nationals to explore loan moves elsewhere.

Solomon's impactful performances at Fulham caught the attention of manager Marco Silva, who expressed a keen interest in retaining the winger.

Solomon's international career has also shown promise, earning 35 caps for Israel and scoring seven goals since making his debut in 2018. 

As the new season approaches, Tottenham fans eagerly anticipate Solomon's debut in the club's colors. His arrival adds depth and quality to the squad, offering a glimpse of the exciting possibilities that lie ahead.

Pulisic Close To £20m Move From Chelsea To Inter Milan

 

In a significant development, USA forward Christian Pulisic is on the verge of finalizing a £20m transfer from Chelsea to AC Milan.

Pulisic, aged 24, has found himself surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge and is scheduled to undergo a medical examination in Milan later this week.

The talented player originally joined Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund in 2019 for a fee of £57.6m, which made him the most expensive North American player at the time.

During his tenure at Chelsea, Pulisic showcased his skills and netted 26 goals in 145 appearances. He notably played a crucial role in Chelsea's triumph over Manchester City in the 2021 Champions League final.

His imminent move to Serie A will reunite him with former Chelsea teammate Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who also recently joined Milan during this summer transfer window.

Meanwhile, Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana, aged 20, has sealed a season-long loan switch to Union Berlin in the Bundesliga. The Ivorian forward had made only four first-team appearances for Chelsea since his arrival from Molde in January.

This summer has seen Chelsea part ways with several established first-team players, indicating a period of transition and new opportunities for both incoming and outgoing talents.
