August 8, 2023 West Ham Set To Sign Ajax & Mexico Midfielder For £35m

West Ham Set To Sign Ajax & Mexico Midfielder For £35m

Mexico midfielder Edson Alvarez will have a medical today ahead of becoming West Ham's first signing of the summer.

Alvarez has been the subject of interest from the Hammers for some time and an agreement has been reached with Ajax over a deal thought to be worth around £35m.

A central figure in the Mexico side that won the CONCACAF Gold Cup in the United States this summer, the 25-year-old is viewed as a replacement for Declan Rice, although his attributes are mainly as a defensive midfielder.

Providing there are no issues, formal confirmation of the transfer is expected on Wednesday.

Alvarez has just returned to Ajax for the start of pre-season training.

The news of Alvarez's impending arrival will come as a relief to Hammers manager David Moyes, who has struggled to bring in reinforcements this summer since Rice's transfer to Arsenal.

West Ham have also made bids for Manchester United pair Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay, although there is no guarantee they will be able to conclude a deal for either player.

August 7, 2023 Tacha Calls Out Biggie For Not Disqualifying Ilebaye

Tacha Calls Out Biggie For Not Disqualifying Ilebaye

Controversy Surrounds Biggie's Decision: Tacha Demands an Apology

The organizers of the Big Brother Naija reality show are facing backlash for their handling of Ilebaye's physical attack on fellow housemate CeeC during a recent Saturday night party.

 Many viewers expected Ilebaye to be disqualified following the altercation.

Surprisingly, Biggie chose to be lenient, issuing Ilebaye 2 strikes and announcing that she would face further punishment during the week. This decision didn't sit well with some viewers, especially considering how Tacha was disqualified during the Season 4 Pepper Dem edition for her violent behavior towards Mercy Eke in 2019.

In response to Biggie's decision, Tacha expressed her frustration on Sunday via her Twitter handle. She demanded an apology from the show organizers for her disqualification in 2019, calling them a "bunch of jokers" and hinting at possible consequences if she doesn't receive an apology before the next day.

The situation has left fans divided, with some supporting Biggie's approach to discipline, while others stand with Tacha, demanding fairness and consistency in handling housemate behavior. As the controversy unfolds, the show's organizers may find themselves under increasing pressure to address the concerns raised by both viewers and former contestants like Tacha.

Daniel Evans Beats Tallon Griekspoor To Win First ATP 500 Title.

Britain's Dan Evans won the first ATP 500 title of his career by beating Tallon Griekspoor in the Citi Open final in Washington DC.

Evans, now the world number 21, triumphed 7-5 6-3 against the Dutchman after a 90-minute rain stoppage.

"To do the work I've done and to stick with it and come through is [amazing]," said Evans.

American 19-year-old Coco Gauff beat Greece's Maria Sakkari 6-2 6-3 to take the women's title.

"It was really tough a couple weeks ago," said world number seven Gauff, who was knocked out in the first round at Wimbledon last month but did not drop a set in the Citi Open. "We were all feeling it and I'm glad that I was able to bounce back."

British number two Evans, 33, required four break points to take the opening set, before play was suspended at 2-2 in the second because of rain and lightning.

After the restart Evans cruised through his remaining service games until he saved four break points in the penultimate game of the match.

He is the first Briton to win the tournament since Tim Henman in 2003.
