Leo Hjelde's exit to Belgian Pro League side KV Mechelen has sparked the conversation at BBC Radio Newcastle around his cult hero status. The Norwegian centre-back featured 19 times for Sunderland in the Championship in 2024-25 on their way up to the Premier League, before going on loan to Sheffield United last season. While the 22-year-old missed out on playing in the top flight, football commentator Nick Barnes believes Sunderland fans can agree that without his contributions towards the end of their promotion campaign, they may never have made it back up in the first place.
Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi (Picture: Getty) Chelsea and Real Madrid have expressed interest in Martin Zubimendi after Arsenal signed Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United. Mikel Arteta bolstered what was already a strong and deep Arsenal midfield with the £75m signing of Guimaraes. The Brazil international emerged as a top target for Arteta earlier in the summer and Arsenal finally made a breakthrough in transfer talks after weeks of negotiations. Guimaraes strengthens a Premier League title-winning midfield which already includes the likes of Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, Eberechi Eze, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Zubimendi.

Zubimendi made a superb start to his Arsenal career following last summer’s £60m move from Real Sociedad but lost his place in the team towards the end of the campaign. Lewis-Skelly started ahead of Zubimendi during the run-in and the Spain international was benched for Arsenal’s Champions League final against PSG. Zubimendi was included in Spain’s triumphant World Cup squad but barely featured for Luis de la Fuente’s side, making just one appearance during the tournament. Zubimendi holding the World Cup trophy (Picture: Getty) The 27-year-old could face an uncertain future at Arsenal given he was already struggling for minutes before Guimaraes’ arrival, with Chelsea and Real Madrid reportedly expressing interest in securing his signature. New Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso worked with Zubimendi at Real Sociedad and tried to sign him last summer during his spell in charge of Real Madrid. Reports in Spain said Madrid were ‘gutted’ to miss out on a deal for Zubimendi and the La Liga giants are said to be interested in reviving their interest if Arsenal indicate he could be sold. Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso (Picture: Getty) But Arsenal have ‘no desire’ to offload Zubimendi this summer, according to the Daily Express, and still view the Spaniard as a key member of Arteta’s squad. It is claimed Arteta also intends to keep hold of Zubimendi despite Guimaraes’ arrival as he plots a Premier League title defence and another Champions League challenge. While Arsenal appear determined not to sell Zubimendi, the report adds that ‘every player has his price’, with the club willing to change their stance should an ‘exorbitant fee’ arrive on the table. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYwnlGpNRnI/?hl=en Last week reports in Spain said Arsenal valued Zubimendi, now a World Cup, Premier League and European Championship winner, at around 90m euros (£77m). Amid speculation they could target Zubimendi, Chelsea have been offered the chance to sign his Arsenal teammate Lewis-Skelly. Chelsea have rejected the opportunity but should press ahead with their pursuit of Zubimendi, according to former Blues defender Glen Johnson. Chelsea were offered Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly (Picture: Getty) ‘I think he would be a brilliant signing for Chelsea,’ Johnson, who won the Premier League at Stamford Bridge, told SeatPin. ‘I’m not sure why Arsenal are even signing players to replace him when he was so influential for them last season. ‘He has worked with Alonso before at Real Sociedad, so Xabi must really like the player to be pushing to re-sign him at Chelsea. ‘He’s now a Premier League winner, so he’s only going to be a better player than what he was when they last worked together. ‘I’d be surprised if Arsenal let him go to Chelsea, but if they do, more fool them. He was brilliant last season and knows what it takes to win in the Premier League, which is exactly what Chelsea need. ‘He could be the backbone of Chelsea’s midfield next season, and if Alonso wants him as badly as being reported, then the club should do everything they can to sign him.’ Arsenal begin their Premier League title defence against newly-promoted Coventry City a week on Friday.

Newcastle United left-back Lewis Hall has reportedly decided that he wants to be allowed to join Manchester United this summer.

The former England full-back is back in the Championship after 12 years away, hoping to lead Wolves out of itWhen the question inevitably comes, Kieran Trippier is happy to set the record straight. Fresh from training, head to toe in Wolves kit – vest, shorts and club-branded sliders – he walks into a suite at their Compton Park base, conversation soon shifting to an episode that rocked supporters and stopped outsiders in their tracks: three days after signing, the manager Trippier cited as a significant driver behind his decision to drop into the second tier, Rob Edwards, had been sacked. All the while, a deal for his replacement, César Peixoto, was being accelerated.“I’m not going to sit here and lie, I wasn’t expecting it,” Trippier says. “But it’s the club’s decision. I had good chats with Rob, of course, but I’m here to play for Wolves. There are many surprises in football and that certainly was a surprise, I’m not going to deny that. But I just cracked on, I was with my kids on holiday, training in Mallorca and just looking forward to day one in pre-season.” Continue reading...
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY WILL PICKWORTH: For most players, an injury that meant they were unable to play a part in Wrexham's tour of the US would have been enough to get them down.
Elliot Anderson lifted the lid on his conversation with Manchester United icon Ryan Giggs Elliot Anderson has confirmed that Ryan Giggs tried to make him change his mind on joining Manchester City during a chance meeting on a golfing trip earlier this summer. Giggs’ beloved Manchester United were one of a host of elite clubs to target Anderson in their hunt for midfield reinforcements. But while the Red Devils’ pursuit of Anderson stretched back over a year, the Old Trafford giants would prioritise overhauling their misfiring attack instead last summer, capturing Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo in a £200million spending spree. It allowed City to muscle themselves into pole position for Anderson before this year’s transfer window opened for business, with the then Nottingham Forest star making it clear he favoured a move to the blue half of Manchester. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. Talks progressed at a pace over the following weeks and City officially confirmed that they had completed a club-record £116m deal for the 23-year-old England international last month. Anderson has put pen to paper on a five-year contract at the Etihad, tying him to the eight-time Premier League champions until June 2031. He is yet to feature in any of City’s pre-season games on the back of a gruelling World Cup with the Three Lions, but could be in line to make his debut in the side’s Community Shield showdown with Arsenal on Sunday. The England midfielder has signed a five-year deal at the Etihad (Picture: Getty) Maresca could hand Anderson his debut in the Community Shield (Picture: Getty) ‘I’m over the moon. It’s my first day of training today and the lads have welcomed my really well,’ Anderson told reporters during a meet-and-greet at City’s club shop on Wednesday. ‘Training went well and I’m just getting to grips with everything. It’s good. ‘I had a bit of work with him [Enzo Maresca] today and you can see the detail that he goes in to and I’m really looking forward to that.’ On the possibility of making his debut in Cardiff this weekend, Anderson added: ‘To have the chance to win a trophy in your first week is quite good so hopefully I can get some minutes there and show what I can do.’ City broke their transfer record to sign Anderson from Nottingham Forest (Picture: Manchester City) Given the size of the fee City spent to sign him, Anderson is desperate to get started and showcase ‘what he does best’ on the pitch. ‘I want to show everyone what I can do and try not to focus on that [price tag] too much,’ he explained. ‘But I’m sure over the next season I can show people what I do best.’ Giggs told Anderson to snub City for United (Picture: Getty) Earlier this week, former Manchester United defender Phil Bardsley revealed that he and club legend Giggs had tried to persuade Anderson into moving to Old Trafford while on holiday in Portugal. Asked about the chance meeting, Anderson let out a laugh and replied: ‘Yeah, I was just golfing over in Portugal and bumped into a few of them. ‘We had a nice chat and stuff like that but I had a decision to make and I chose City.’ {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Maresca says it's a 'privilege' to follow Pep in first press conference as City manager","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/07\/24\/8715965047297391107\/480x270_MP4_8715965047297391107.mp4","description":"he former Chelsea boss has replaced Pep Guardiola at the helm after serving as his assistant coach during the Treble-winning 2022\/23 campaign.","duration":"T10M41S","height":270,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/07\/24\/15\/110232073-0-image-m-71_1784901871683.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-07-24T15:04:07+0100","width":480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that s

Why - outside newly promoted teams Hull City, Coventry and Ipswich - are Sunderland once again among the bookmakers' favourites for the drop? While results and where you finish in the table are ultimately all that matter, Sunderland's underlying statistics from last season suggest repeating their success might not be so simple. While Aston Villa and Sunderland made a mockery of xG by finishing much higher in the table, the majority of sides finished mostly in line with their underlying numbers, showing those two overachievers were more the exception that proves the rule.
