USA's Folarin Balogun set for Premier League move with Everton: Report
United States striker Folarin Balogun is set to head to Premier League team Everton on a transfer from Monaco, British media reported on Monday. The transfer fee offered by Everton is reported to be in the range of 40 million pounds ($54 million) on a four-year deal, the British Press Association said. It said personal terms had yet to be worked out before the deal could be completed prior to Tuesday's transfer deadline. The 25-year-old Balogun, who had two years remaining on a contract at Monaco, gained attention this summer scoring three goals for the United States as it reached the knockout stage of the World Cup. He was the top scorer for the U.S. team. He also made headlines after drawing a red card and a one-game suspension in a 2-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina in a round-of-32 match. The one-game suspension was deferred by FIFA after U.S. President Donald Trump intervened, allowing Balogun to play in the round of 16. Balogun eventually played in the 4-1 loss to Belgiu

Spain great Xavi Hernandez was hired as Netherlands coach on Wednesday, becoming the first foreign-born leader of the national team in nearly 50 years. Xavi was a member of the Spain team that beat the Dutch in the World Cup final in 2010, marking their third defeat in the title match. The 46-year-old Xavi, who has been out of work since leaving his job as Barcelona coach in May 2024, takes over from Ronald Koeman after his departure following the World Cup. The former midfielder said he felt a special connection to Dutch football after coming through a Barcelona academy influenced by Johan Cruyff and Rinus Michels. You could say that I am a bit of a son of Dutch football, said Xavi, who has signed a deal through to the 2030 World Cup.

Chelsea Signs Spanish Player Pep Chavarria on a Five-Year Deal Until 2031
London, August 12: Premier League club Chelsea has announced the signing of Spanish player Pep Chavarria from La Liga team Rayo Vallecano. The 28-year-old has signed a five-year contract. Chavarria has committed to Chelsea until 2031 and will begin working with his new teammates at Cobham. In an official statement, he expressed his excitement, saying, ... Read more Chelsea Signs Spanish Player Pep Chavarria on a Five-Year Deal Until 2031
Highlights Chelsea have agreed a 16.3 million deal, plus 1.7 million in add-ons, to sign Rayo Vallecano left-back Pep Chavarria. The 28-year-old replaces Marc Cucurella, who left Stamford Bridge for Real Madrid this summer after winning the World Cup with Spain. Chavarria didn't make his La Liga debut until he was 24, and was sent off on his European debut three years later. Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Rayo Vallecano left-back Pep Chavarria for an initial 16.3 million, with a further 1.7 million available in add-ons, according to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano. The 28-year-old will undergo a medical before completing his move to Stamford Bridge, where he's expected to compete with Jorrel Hato for the left-back spot vacated by Marc Cucurella's move to Real Madrid. It's not the kind of signing Chelsea have built a reputation on in recent years. There's no wonderkid hype, no long-term sell-on value being banked on. Chavarria is 28, has four seasons of top-flight experience, and only started playing regularly in Spain's Segunda Divisin in his mid-twenties. Who is Pep Chavarria? Chavarria is a Spanish left-back who spent years working his way up from outside Spain's top two divisions. He joined Real Zaragoza on a free transfer in 2020 after arriving from third-tier side UE Olot, and didn't make his La Liga debut until he was 24 years old. Two years later, Rayo Vallecano signed him from Zaragoza for a reported 1.8 million. His rise since then has been steady rather than explosive. Andoni Iraola, Rayo's manager at the time, brought him in for his overlapping runs down the left; his more recent coach, Inigo Perez, has helped him add range to his game, including operating in midfield rather than purely as an out-and-out wing-back. Chavarria has called Perez the best coach he's worked with. Why are Chelsea paying 16.3m for him now? Because Xabi Alonso needed a direct, ready-made replacement for Marc Cucurella, and because this summer's transfer strategy at Stamford Bridge has leaned toward experience over potential. Chavarria's arrival follows the signings of 35-year-old striker Danny Welbeck from Brighton and 36-year-old midfielder Jordan Henderson from Brentford both moves aimed at adding senior figures to a squad that's previously been criticised for lacking them. He's also Chelsea's third defensive signing of the summer, following right-back Marco Palestra from Atalanta and centre-back Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace, as Alonso rebuilds the back line around fewer long-term projects and more players who can contribute immediately. What does Chavarria actually offer on the pitch? More than his goal return suggests. He scored only once last season a long-range strike against Atletico Madrid and picked up more red cards than goals across the campaign, including one late on against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. But the underlying numbers tell a fuller story: across 44 appearances in all competitions, Chavarria racked up over 2,000 touches in La Liga and ranked among the division's most productive players for both crosses supplied and crosses blocked, a dual profile that points to a full-back doing defensive and attacking work in roughly equal measure. He started for Rayo in last season's Conference League final, a rare European final for a club of Rayo's size, where they lost 1-0 to Crystal Palace. Chavarria's path to Chelsea 2018 Joins Olot (Spain's third tier) as a free agent 2020 Joins Real Zaragoza as a free agent 2022 Signed by Rayo Vallecano from Zaragoza for 1.8m Age 24 Makes his La Liga debut Age 27 Sent off on his European debut, against Sweden's Hacken 2025-26 season Starts in the Conference League final; Rayo lose 1-0 to Crystal Palace 2026 Signed by Chelsea for 16.3m plus 1.7m in add-ons What's the case for the signing, beyond the numbers? Mentality, according to the people who've worked with him. Jose Ramon Rodriguez, who coached Chavarria at Zaragoza, has pointed to his attitude as the real reason clubs kept believing he'd go further than his age or route through the leagues suggested. There are players who develop later than others, Rodriguez has said of him. Team-mates and coaches who've worked with Chavarria describe someone who trains at full intensity regardless of results and never uses form or circumstance as an excuse qualities that are harder to put a transfer value on than crosses or clean sheets, but ones Alonso will be counting on all the same. Whether that's enough to make the step up to the Premier League remains the open question. Chavarria has never played outside Spain, and English football's physical demands, particularly around set pieces, are untested territory for him. His old coach's answer to that is simple: at every level he's been asked to play at, he's found a way to meet it.
