Brighton’s transfer strategy keeps delivering eye-catching returns.
Figures highlighted by LiveScore show the Seagulls making huge profits on stars including Ben White, Alexis Mac Allister, Moises Caicedo and Joao Pedro.
Now Jan Paul van Hecke joins the list after a reported £52m move to Tottenham, having arrived for just £1.8m. The club’s recruitment model continues to set the benchmark today.
PSG captain Achraf Hakimi will face a rape trial, a French appeals court ruled Friday, over a 2023 accusation from a then-24-year-old woman in Val-de-Marne. Hakimi, who denies the claim, said he’d been waiting for this moment to finally speak out. No trial date is set yet. The accuser says she only wants the chance to be believed.

Chelsea won’t have to leave London for their first SIX Premier League fixtures next season 🏟️❌
A dream start for Xabi Alonso ✅
Chelsea fans, take note — the Blues won’t have to step outside London for their opening six Premier League fixtures next season, a dream start for new boss Xabi Alonso.
According to LiveScore, Chelsea face Fulham away, host Brighton, travel to Arsenal, welcome Hull City, head to Brentford, then host Bournemouth — all London-based clashes to kick off the campaign.
It’s a soft landing for Alonso as he begins his Stamford Bridge reign, with London derbies dominating the early schedule and minimal travel disruption for players settling into a new system.
Six games, zero road trips outside the capital — about as gentle a start as a new manager could hope for.
Thomas Tuchel was not happy with the photography set up at the World Cup. This led to some choice words where he expressed displeasure saying “I have to tell you something. I’m begging FIFA to change the position of the photographers in the national anthem, because I could not see my team. It was a very special moment, and I was standing in front of a wall of 50 photographers and I could not see one single player.
Because the stadium surface had to be raised 1.2 metres to accommodate a regulation football pitch, crucial touchline space was severely compromised. This logistical constraint forced a swarm of roughly 50 media professionals directly into the manager’s line of sight, entirely blocking his view of the squad during a deeply sentimental moment.
FIFA heard those complaints and are now changing their stance on how photographers should set up in future matches. Goal reports that in response to feedback from the England boss and several other tournament officials, FIFA swiftly introduced a compromise structure previously utilised at alternative international tournaments. Under the revised guidelines, photographers will be tightly huddled closer to the halfway line rather than sprawling across the technical areas. Furthermore, coaching staff are no longer restricted to their dugouts during the anthems, allowing them to shift laterally for an unobstructed view of the centre circle.
A 1-0 win was enough for Mexico to secure their place in the next round. A Luis Romo goal was enough to confirm El Tricolor’s spot for the knockout phases.
A Jonathan David hat trick was the highlight of the day as Canada romped Qatar 6-0 for their highest World Cup win ever. Ismaël Koné suffered a leg break which would rule him out for the rest of the tournament.
Jonathan David extended his lead at the top of Canada men’s football scoring charts and is justifying his inclusion in the starting line-up after drawing a blank in his first match.
South Africa gave themselves a chance with a draw against the Czech Republic, depending on favors from other countries they could make it out but would have to win their final match to give themselves a fighting chance
Chelsea are closing in on Andrea Cambiaso to replace Cucurella, with Nicolas Jackson emerging as a potential makeweight in the deal. Brown’s gone to Bayern, Grimaldo’s heading home to Spain — leaving Cambiaso as priority No.1 for Alonso’s left-back puzzle.
Barcelona are watching too, but Chelsea look out in front for now.
Gerard Pique isn’t holding back on Marc Cucurella’s £52m switch to Real Madrid. The ex-Barca legend says a La Masia graduate joining the Catalan club’s biggest rivals “hurts even more,” insisting true Barca fans never forget where they came from.
Cucurella’s signed until 2032 and links up after Spain’s World Cup opener against Cape Verde.
Lawyer Sara Araba Tettey, 26, suffered a cardiac arrest while celebrating Ghana’s last-gasp win over Panama, collapsing during post-match celebrations in Bomso. Despite 45 minutes of resuscitation efforts, she passed away shortly after.
It’s the second World Cup tragedy this week — Scotland fan Donny Strathie, 76, died in Boston before he could watch his team play, prompting fans to plan a tribute applause.
Marcus Rashford’s heart is still set on Camp Nou — even with Anthony Gordon now in the building. Man Utd want a permanent sale, Barca want a centre-forward first, but Rashford’s willing to wait out the window. Flick’s happy with him, but the €30m price tag remains the sticking point.
Thomas Tuchel begged FIFA to move the photographers after a wall of 50 snappers blocked his view during the anthems ahead of England’s 4-2 win over Croatia. FIFA listened — photographers now huddle near the halfway line, and coaches can move freely to watch the centre circle.
The FA’s still seeking more clarity before England’s next clash.
