West Ham United appear to have received a major boost in their efforts to sign Troy Parrott. The London club is reportedly still in a strong position despite recent speculation linking the striker with Real Betis.

Joaquin Seys is valued at £30m by Club Brugge (Photo: Getty) Club Brugge manager Ivan Leko admits he is ‘proud’ to see Joaquin Seys linked with a big money transfer to Manchester United and Arsenal. And Leko has conceded that it would be ‘hard to say no’ to selling his star defender this summer, if the right offer was made. Seys has been tipped to move to the Premier League following an excellent 2025/26 season, in which he won the Belgium Pro League and reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Porto and Benfica have also been linked with the highly-rated 21-year-old who is valued at £30million by Brugge.

Signing a new left-back is now Man Utd’s top priority until the end of the transfer window, though Flemish outlet Het Nieuwsblad claim that they are yet to make a formal approach for the player. With Patrick Dorgu now viewed as a winger by Michael Carrick, Luke Shaw is the only natural left-back in the squad and surely cannot be relied upon for a full season with Champions League football given his injury history. After selling Christos Tzolis to Arsenal for £34m earlier this summer, do not want to lose anymore of their prized assets including Seys and Barcelona target Nicolò Tresoldi. Seys impressed at th World Cup for Belgium (Photo: Getty) Nevertheless, Leko is happy to see his players linked with Europe’s top club, admitting as much in an interview ahead of Brugge’s 3-0 win over Oud-Heverlee Leuven on Saturday. ‘In fact, I’m proud that my guys are being linked to those clubs,’ he said. ‘We chat about it every now and then. How much of those rumours is true? I don’t know. But we all have eyes in our heads: their potential is incredible. Seys was in action for Club Brugge over the weekend (Photo: Getty) ‘On the other hand, they remain consummate professionals and are happy here. The focus is entirely on OHL.’ Leko previously claimed Seys was destined to play at the top of the Premier League and believes there is a chance he will move on before deadline day. ‘If there’s a lot of money on the table, it’s obviously not easy to say no,’ He added. ‘The board’s aim is still to build a team that’s even better than last season. ‘The right time to leave will come.

Manchester City take on Arsenal in a blockbuster match for the 2026 FA Community Shield final. Manchester City and Arsenal meet at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff for the 2026 FA Community Shield final, with kickoff set for 10:00 a.m ET. The match doubles as a milestone occasion for City, marking Enzo Maresca’s first competitive match in charge of the club since replacing Pep Guardiola in the dugout. Arsenal qualified as reigning Premier League champions after their title-winning campaign last season, while City earned their place by winning the FA Cup in May, beating Chelsea at Wembley for their eighth FA Cup title in club history. Recent history slightly favors City in this particular fixture, with two wins in the last five head-to-head meetings between the sides. Arsenal, however, hold the more recent edge in the Community Shield specifically, having won the last time these two clubs met in this exact competition back in 2023, on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Both sides arrive with contrasting preseason form. Arsenal posted a mixed 2-2-1 record in their warm-up matches, including defeats to Real Betis and Borussia Dortmund, though they did beat Girona 4-1. City, meanwhile, looked sharper in their own preparation, beating Atlético Madrid 3-1 in their final tune-up, with Omar Marmoush scoring twice in that win. Just one week to go until the FA #CommunityShield 🤩Who will start their season on a high, @Arsenal or @ManCity? 🏆 pic.twitter.com/T8NcfFyx6Q— Emirates FA Cup (@EmiratesFACup) August 9, 2026 What happens if Manchester City beat Arsenal A win would hand Maresca a trophy in his very first match at the helm, giving City an ideal start to the new era and a psychological edge heading into the Premier League season opener. It would also snap Arsenal’s recent run of success in this exact fixture, avenging their 2023 Community Shield defeat to the Gunners. What happens if Manchester City and Arsenal draw The Community Shield doesn’t allow for extra time. Any match still level after 90 minutes goes straight to a penalty shootout to determine the winner, with both teams still credited with a draw on the official record despite one side lifting the trophy. What happens if Manchester City lose to Arsenal A loss would see Arsenal successfully defend the Community Shield and continue their recent dominance over City in this fixture, while also handing Maresca a defeat in his first game in charge — an inauspicious start to his tenure, even if the Community Shield itself carries more symbolic weight than competitive significance heading into the new season.

Samu Costa scored on his Al Nassr debut in the win over Al Fateh and dedicated the victory to Cristiano Ronaldo, who was absent from the match. Samu Costa marked his Al Nassr debut in style, scoring in a 3-0 win over Al Fateh in the club’s Saudi Pro League opener on August 15 — his first appearance since joining Cristiano Ronaldo‘s side. The Portuguese midfielder found the net alongside goals from Joao Felix and Angelo as Al Nassr began the new season with a statement victory. Speaking after the match, Costa reflected on the win and made a point of including Ronaldo in his praise, despite the Portuguese superstar not featuring in the squad. “A good start. We worked hard and deserved the three points. I dedicate the victory to my family, my teammates, and Cristiano Ronaldo,” Costa said. Ronaldo’s absence from the matchday squad was a deliberate call by new head coach Ange Postecoglou, who only recently took charge at Al Nassr. Ronaldo had rejoined training just two days before the match, having spent recent weeks away from the squad following his marriage to Georgina Rodriguez. With Ronaldo sidelined for the opener, it was Angelo, Costa and Felix who stepped up to deliver the win, giving Postecoglou an encouraging start to his tenure in Riyadh. All eyes will now turn to when Ronaldo is expected to make his own season debut for the club. First game. First win. First celebration 🤩💛Samú Costa gets the full Nassr welcome pic.twitter.com/pZE3T9oj9K— AlNassr FC (@AlNassrFC_EN) August 15, 2026 Ronaldo eyeing return for matchday 2 It was to be expected that Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn’t feature at the start of Al Nassr‘s 2026-27 Saudi Pro League campaign, having missed every training session with the squad and sat out the entire preseason. According to reports out of Saudi Arabia, the captain is also expected to miss Al Nassr’s King Champions Cup opener against Diriyah Club on August 18, with his return now targeted for matchday 2 of the Saudi Pro League against Al Riyadh on August 21.
