Confirmed: Per Mertesacker will become the new Managing Director of Sport at DFB GmbH & Co. KG on January 1, 2027, succeeding Andreas Rettig, whose contract expires at the end of 2026. Mertesacker will be responsible for the national teams and the academy .

Plenty of impressive stats around Christos Tzolis, but this one from Opta surely music to the ears of Nicolas Jover... Of his 135 chances created for Club Brugge in the league last season, 52 were from set pieces.

Tzolis: “I’m a direct player, I go for goals or assists. That’s my point of view as an attacker, as a winger. “I’m always hungry to score or to give the final pass to my teammates. And I can say I work hard for the team, also in the defensive part.”

Rangers are set to formalise their interest in Brighton winger Amario Cozier-Duberry. Anderlecht had a £5m bid rejected. Hull, West Ham, Paris FC & Red Bull Salzburg keen on the former Arsenal academy graduate. Brighton want him to sign a new deal. www.thesun.co.uk/sport/394158...

Hamburg board member Eric Huwer, via German newspaper Hamburger Morgenpost, on Fabio Vieira: “We’ve also backed up our interest with Arsenal with financial figures. “If Arsenal says yes, we’ll be happy to have Fabio; if they say no, we’ll be happy to have someone else.”

Deal in place for Christos Tzolis to join Arsenal for €40m. Good timing as he’s been in pre-season training with Club Brugge and already played friendlies, so can hit ground running. Clearly some risk with signing a player outside the PL, but impressive numbers last season.
