Club Brugge forward Kamal Sowah warned Champions League rivals to watch out for us after an impressive 4-0 away thrashing of Porto.

It was the Belgian side s joint-biggest away win in the competition, with Sowah getting on the scoresheet with a 47th-minute goal, his first for the club since signing in 2021 from Leicester City.

Also in the goals was 17-year-old substitute Antonio Nusa, whose 89th-minute finish made him the youngest player to score on a Champions League debut, as well as the second-youngest player in history behind Ansu Fati to net in the competition.

Brugge s victory means they top Group B and have won consecutive Champions League games for only the second time, and Sowah says the team must be taken seriously.

It was a great moment to sco…

West Ham United have suffered a blow in their bid to sign Hans Vanaken from Club Brugge in the summer transfer window. According to , West Ham are interested in signing the 28-year-old attacking midfielder before the window closes next week and have made an offer of £13 million. However, Belgian club Brugge have turned it down and want a larger transfer fee for their club captain.

Vanaken has been on the books of Brugge since 2015 and has a contract with the Belgian club until 2024. The Belgium international has scored four goals and provided two assists in seven Jupiler Pro League games so far this season, according to . The 28-year-old has also played in the Champions League and the Europa League with Brugge.

West Ham have made a mixed start to the season. After losi…

According to a recent report from Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma captain Alessandro Florenzi is still very much open to the possibility of leaving the club – but he would like to remain in Italian football as opposed to joining Lyon or going over to China, both of which are offers that are currently on the table. 

Roma are slowly but surely attempting to claw their way back towards relevancy at the top of Serie A, but it’s going to take a couple of windows for them to do so. 

Florenzi’s departure has been telegraphed for quite some time, and at the age of 28, the next move for him could prove to be vital in his development as a world class defender. 

Fiorentina and Inter Milan have both been linked in the not so distant past, but when the January transfe…

Lyon defender Castello Lukeba has everything like Josko Gvardiol, according to team-mate Dejan Lovren.

Ex-Liverpool man Lovren returned to Lyon in January after almost 10 years away and has already been impressed by some of his new colleagues.

Lukeba, who only turned 20 in December, was promoted to Lyon s first team in 2021 and has formed a strong partnership with Lovren so far in 2023, starting the last four Ligue 1 games together.

Lovren said: It s good, we communicate well. He understands what I ask of him.

Frankly, he s a very, very, very good player with the qualities to one day be one of the best defenders.

France Under-21 international Lukeba has made 56 appearances in all competitions for Lyon, including 23 in the league so far this sea…

Cody Drameh will leave Leeds United at the end of the season, according to . The report has claimed that Drameh’s camp expect the England Under-21 international full-back to leave Leeds for good in the summer transfer window.

Drameh joined Leeds in August 2020 after leaving Fulham. The youngster was expected to be massive for Leeds, but he has struggled to play regularly for the first team. The 21-year-old had a loan spell at Cardiff City last season, and he moved to Luton Town on loan in the January transfer window for the rest of the 2022-23 campaign.

During his loan spell at Luton so far, Drameh has given two assists in 13 Championship appearances. Luton are third in the Championship table at the moment with 74 points from 42 matches, five points behind second-plac…

Former England captain Terry Butcher believes the Three Lions could benefit from scaled-back expectations at the World Cup after enduring a torrid Nations League campaign.

Gareth Southgate s team are the only nation to reach the semi-finals at each of the last two major tournaments, having been beaten by Croatia in the last four at the 2018 World Cup before losing the Euro 2020 final to Italy.

Despite their strong tournament record in recent years, England arrive in Qatar in poor form after being relegated from Nations League Group A3 following a winless campaign in the competition.

However, Butcher believes England may replicate their feats from four years ago by springing a surprise in Qatar.

I think a lot of people will see them as less looking like …

Aston Villa blew the chance to go top of the Premier League and needed Nicolo Zaniolo’s late goal to rescue a 1-1 draw against struggling Sheffield United.

The substitute levelled in stoppage time just as Cameron Archer’s 87th-minute strike looked to have given the Blades a stunning smash and grab win.

Villa needed victory to go top but now sit second, behind Arsenal on goal difference.

Inter Milan are interested in signing Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea in the summer transfer window, according to . The report has claimed that the Italian club have made contact with the Premier League outfit and have registered their interest in the 23-year-old, who can operate as a central defender or as a defensive midfielder.

The report has claimed that if Chelsea give permission, then Chalobah would be keen on holding talks with Inter. The Nerazzurri won the Serie A title under former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte in 2020-21 and will play in the final of the UEFA Champions League this season.

Chalobah made 18 starts and seven substitute appearances in the Premier League for Chelsea this season. The 23-year-old also made four starts and two su…

Wales are back in Euro 2024 qualifying action away to Turkey on Monday.

Rob Page’s side are bidding to recover from their shock home defeat to Armenia on Friday against the Group D leaders.

Here, the PA news agency looks at the main talking points surrounding the crunch game in Samsun.

Page must strike right balance

This time last year Wales boss Page was basking in the glow of guiding Wales to their first World Cup for 64 years. How times have changed.

Wales have won only once in 11 games and Page’s tactics have come under intense scrutiny.

Reverting to three at the back and playing two holding midfielders in front of them might provide Wales with the solidity they have so woefully lacked over the past 12 months.

Counter-attack best for…

Kenedy concluded an implausibly nightmarish performance by having a stoppage-time penalty saved as 10-man Newcastle United drew 0-0 at Cardiff City.

The on-loan Chelsea winger failed to complete a pass during a first half when he should have been sent off for kicking out at Victor Camarasa.

Newcastle belatedly had their numbers reduced when Isaac Hayden s 66th-minute foul on Josh Murphy was adjudged worthy of a red card by referee Craig Pawson.

Cardiff captain Sean Morrison handballed substitute Yoshinori Muto s cross to give Kenedy a 96th-minute shot at redemption, but Neil Etheridge guessed correctly to save from the spot as he did in the Bluebirds 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth last weekend.

FULL TIME: 0-0 !
