Newport CountyNewport County completed their pre-season preparations with a 4-1 friendly defeat against Italian giants AS Roma at a raucous Rodney Parade. Goals from Mario Hermoso, Thomas Castro, Kostantinos Koulierakis and Matias Soule ensured the Serie A side bounced back from their surprising 4-1 defeat to Newport's Welsh rivals Cardiff City last weekend. County, who were only 1-0 down at the break, scored a consolation goal five minutes from the end when summer signing Kyle Cameron headed home from Harrison Biggins' free-kick.
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai says he has "cleared" the situation with team-mates Curtis Jones and Kostas Tsimikas after a video emerged last week showing the trio seemingly arguing over the captain's armband. The incident came after the 1-0 pre-season win against Wrexham at Yankee Stadium in New York. Following the full-time whistle Jones, Szoboszlai and later Tsimikas argued with each other as the team walked across the pitch to applaud supporters.
Cologne are favourites to sign Mikey Moore on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, with talks at an advanced stage amid interest from several clubs for the 18-year-old winger who spent last season with Rangers. Hull City are set to beat Rangers and Cardiff City to sign 20-year-old midfielder Jens Hjerto-Dahl from Tromso.
New manager Hayden Mullins admits Newport County are "three or four" players short with just a week to the start of the season. The Exiles have appointed the former Crystal Palace, West Ham and Portsmouth midfielder as their new boss after the shock departure of Christian Fuchs at the end of June. The Austrian left after County had signed six players - Harrison Biggins, Christian Doidge, Cameron Norman, Dan Sassi, Shaquille Gwengwe and Yahya Bamba - and they added Kyle Cameron and Kieron Evans while owner Huw Jenkins picked his next manager.
Inter Milan are still interested in Curtis Jones and have indicated through intermediaries they would be willing to pay up to 35m euros (£29.9m) for the Liverpool midfielder. The Italian side made a verbal offer of 25m euros (£21.7m) last month and that was rejected, with Liverpool valuing Jones at at least £35m. Jones was involved in a heated argument with Dominik Szoboszlai after Liverpool's 1-0 win in a friendly over Wrexham in New York on Wednesday, which seemed to be related to the fact that Szoboszlai handed the captain's armband to Kostas Tsimikas instead of Jones.
