Tottenham Hotspur have joined the race to sign Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, rivalling Premier League counterparts Aston Villa, according to the Daily Mail. Xabi Alonso, Unai Emery and Roberto De Zerbi are at Stamford Bridge, Villa Park and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, respectively.
Stamford Bridge executives have placed a £65m price tag on the 25-year-old forward, who spent last season on loan at Bayern Munich.
Spurs have prioritised strengthening their attack in the closing weeks of the summer window, having already reinforced other areas. The North Londoners have now turned to Jackson despite their interest in Cody Gakpo, who is currently not for sale by Liverpool.
Spurs will face stiff competition from Aston Villa, where manager Unai Emery is leading efforts to reunite with Jackson. Emery previously coached the striker at Villarreal and values his direct running, pressing energy, and versatility as ideal qualities to strengthen Villa's forward rotation alongside Ollie Watkins. Villa have already held preliminary talks with Jackson's representatives following Morgan Rogers' departure.
From Chelsea's perspective, the Blues are open to sanctioning a deal if their £65m threshold is met. Jackson scored 11 goals in 34 matches across all competitions last season, but returns to Stamford Bridge facing intense competition for places following the arrivals of Danny Welbeck and Emegha, adding to a striker group that already includes Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, and Marc Guiu. With Chelsea aiming to streamline their squad and generate transfer capital, a permanent departure remains a strong possibility.

Grading Yankees trade deadline 2026: How New York fared with deals for Luis Garcia Jr., Heliot Ramos originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New York Yankees are always under a microscope, and that's especially the case during the trade deadline.
With fans expecting a World Series every year, the Yankees are usually under pressure to make significant additions to their roster. With Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger all on the injured list, the Yankees had a bunch of holes on the roster that have been pretty noticeable.
Ahead of the 2026 trade deadline, New York made a few moves to upgrade its offense and reshuffle its bullpen. Whether those moves will be enough depends on how the new additions play down the stretch, as the Yankees fight for the AL East crown.
Here's a look at how the Yankees did at the trade deadline.

Liverpool face another important decision in the final weeks of the transfer window, with Cody Gakpo's future becoming a talking point after interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
The Dutch forward remains highly valued at Anfield, but reports of Spurs making contact have raised questions over whether Liverpool could consider a major offer for a player who has been an important part of the squad since arriving from PSV Eindhoven.
Speaking on Anfield Index's Media Matters podcast, David Lynch joined Dave Davis to discuss the situation, explaining that Liverpool are not actively looking to sell Gakpo but would consider their position if Tottenham were to make a significant financial offer.
Liverpool's current position appears to be that Gakpo is not available, with Lynch explaining that the club are not looking to push the forward towards the exit door.
However, the journalist suggested that almost every player has a price, especially when clubs receive offers that force them to reassess their plans.

Tottenham are interested in signing Cody Gakpo, with Sky Sports reporting the Liverpool forward is among the club's attacking targets this summer.
New Spurs head coach Roberto De Zerbi is keen to add at least one wide forward after strengthening his midfield and defence, but Liverpool are reluctant to sell the Netherlands international unless they first secure a replacement.
They also report Liverpool are expected to make a formal move for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola, although the France international would command a huge fee, with PSG valuing the 23-year-old at around £145million.
Gakpo, who has four years remaining on his Liverpool contract, is regarded as one of the more experienced attackers in Andoni Iraola's squad and can also provide cover through the middle while Hugo Ekitike continues his recovery from an Achilles injury.
Spurs are also keen on signing Manchester City winger Savinho.

The MLB trade deadline keeps sending shockwaves through the league, and the Yankees just made the biggest splash. New York secured Luis García Jr. from the Nationals to fix a lineup that has struggled without its stars. This deal brings a massive offensive boost right when the team needs it most. The Yankees are clearly buying now, and García is the centerpiece of that strategy.
Manager Aaron Boone knows the roster needs depth, especially with Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Giancarlo Stanton out. García Jr. leads the National League with a .560 slugging percentage, a stat that screams power for the short porch in right field. He will not just fill a hole; he will change how the offense attacks every pitcher. This acquisition is a direct response to the team's lackluster production this season.
ESPN's Jeff Passan broke the news that the Yankees sent a package of four prospects to Washington for the infielder. MLB.According to reports, the roster features pitchers Ben Grable, Yovanny Cruz, Jack Cebert, and Jake Bird. That is a heavy price in young arms, but the return on a hitter with García's current form makes sense. The Nationals will get these four players to help their future, while the Yankees get immediate help for their playoff push.
Somerset teammates saw Jack Cebert say farewell during a match versus the Richmond Flying Squirrels, signaling his departure from the system. In 104 games this season, García Jr. has hit 23 home runs, a career high, along with 20 doubles and five triples. He is batting .283 with an .873 OPS, proving he can drive the ball consistently. A wRC+ of 134 proves he ranks among the National League's top hitters currently.
García doesn't walk much, sporting only a 4.While his walk rate sits at 3 percent, he maintains a high enough hit frequency to reach base adequately. This season's 93 games at first base have caused a logjam involving Ben Rice and Paul Goldschmidt. He also played 129 games at second base last season, where Jazz Chisholm Jr. currently sits. Jack Curry of YES Network observed that García should mainly fill first base or DH roles against right-handers to boost his effectiveness.

When Jacoby Brissett returned to full practice reps earlier this week, following the conclusion of his contract negotiation saga, he immediately elevated the first-team offense. Head coach Mike LaFleur even acknowledged that practice on Friday, July 31 was the best that his group has looked since training camp began.
But two days later, Brissett and the Cardinals' offense took a step backward.
Most notably, Brissett finished the day with two interceptions. Both resulted from poor reads. On the first, he threw directly at cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting, who undercut an out route from Michael Wilson. On the second, he never saw linebacker Cody Simon gaining depth in the flat, where he stepped in front of Marvin Harrison Jr. on another out route.
With Brissett struggling, Harrison finished the day without a single catch on just one target. Wilson caught one ball on his two targets. The lone bright spot for the starting offense was Trey McBride, who caught all six of his targets, including a touchdown during red zone work.
The biggest silver lining, though, came from the backups. Carson Beck had his best day of training camp, with a few standout throws. On one, he layered a perfect pass over a linebacker to hit Simi Fehoko over the middle. On the very next play, he stepped through a muddled pocket to find Xavier Weaver for a touchdown. Later, he went back to Weaver on the goal line, with a well-placed ball where only Weaver could catch it.

Liverpool and Leeds meet at Soldier Field in Chicago in a rematch of last season's entertaining two Premier League matches. A wild 3-3 draw in December was settled only by a Leeds stoppage-time equalizer from Ao Tanaka and a tighter 0-0 stalemate the following January.
The clash also marks an early test for Andoni Iraola's first year in charge of Liverpool, who bring a squad blending experience and youth on their U.S. tour, headlined by Dominik Szoboszlai, Federico Chiesa and Cody Gakpo.
Leeds, now in Daniel Farke's fourth season at the helm, counter with a mix of Premier League veterans and fresh faces, led by Dominic Calvert-Lewin up front and Ethan Ampadu marshaling the midfield. Wilfried Gnonto and Daniel James add pace to Farke's attack.
With both sides still shaping their squads before the new campaign, Chicago offers a chance to build momentum ahead of the season opener later in August.

The New York Yankees were only seen as a fringe contender for ace pitcher Tarik Skubal before his deal to the Los Angeles Dodgers, but the Bronx Bombers could be losing out on a much more attainable target as well.
Skubal was dealt to the Dodgers in one of the biggest MLB trades in years, the first time since 2023 that a reigning Cy Young winner was dealt during the season. While the Yankees appeared to be fading in the Skubal sweepstakes, the team was seen as potential frontrunners for closer Mason Miller — before the tides turned on him as well.
The San Diego Padres were seen as reluctant sellers for their closer, who had just joined them on a major trade last season. Any lingering hopes the Yankees may have harbored to land Miller seemed to fade on Saturday, however.
As MLB.com reporter Cody Stavenhagen noted, the Padres made a seemingly decisive call on Miller's future.
"Another sign Mason Miller almost certainly isn't going anywhere: Two days before the trade deadline, Padres manager Craig Stammen has summoned his star closer for a five-out save attempt against the Giants," Stavenhagen noted. "Miller last went more than three outs on June 23, when he recorded a two-inning save versus the Braves."

The Bucs dealt with a lot of injuries in 2025, and several players are ready to turn the page and see others perform the way they know they can. From Baker Mayfield to Cody Mauch to Bucky Irving, a lot of those players looking for a bounceback are on offense. In fact, two of those names were connected this week after one spoke to the media.
Mauch is coming back from a season-ending knee injury and has a chip of his own on his shoulder. He spoke to the media on Friday and shared how several Bucs are itching to prove themselves, but especially Baker Mayfield.
He explained it while talking about the contract issues between Mayfield and the franchise, saying, "It sucks to see him go through this and whatnot, but it's not going to change his mentality, the way he plays. . .he's going to go off."
Mauch will play a big part in Mayfield having the year he expects. The offensive line being hurt led to some issues with Mayfield and his health. If both parties are healthy and there for each other on the field, then the results will likely speak for themselves.

August is kicking off with a bang as WWE hosts SummerSlam across two nights this weekend in Minnesota. It marks the second time WWE has shifted its second-biggest PLE of the year to a two-night format, and the show has big shoes to fill after last year's surprise-filled show.
As usual, the Uncrowned Horsemen — Kel Dansby, Robert Jackman, Drake Riggs and Anthony Sulla-Heffinger — are here to break down the entire event, answer burning questions and make predictions for the 12-match card. Let's ride!
CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship headlines Night 1.
Kel Dansby: I haven't been genuinely excited for a Roman Reigns ****** le match in a long time, so Cody Rhodes vs. CM Punk wins by default.
It has everything you want in a SummerSlam main event: two of WWE's biggest stars, a strong story, and several believable directions depending on who leaves as champion. Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins, on the other hand, feels like it's leaning heavily on Shield nostalgia. If we're being honest, we're right back to Reigns relying on Bloodline interference to keep the ****** le. At this point, it doesn't feel like Rollins has much of a chance to dethrone him.

WWE SummerSlam 2026 emanates from Minneapolis, Minn. this weekend, and betting odds suggest that most WWE champions will walk out of US Bank Stadium with their ***** les in tow—with the exception of one champion.
Chad Gable is a heavy favorite to dethrone Penta and win his first WWE Intercontinental Championship in his hometown of Minneapolis at WWE's biggest show of the summer. Gable is set to compete on Night 2 of SummerSlam where he will join fellow Minnesotan Brock Lesnar as amateur wrestlers with a hometown advantage, though Brock will compete against Oba Femi on Night 1.
Gable has enjoyed a redemption arc ever since coming up short in the 2026 Match of the Year against El Grande Americano (Ludwig Kaiser) at El Noche de los Grandes for the right to don the sacred mask and namesake. Gable's performance jumpstarted his up-and-down career, and was even replayed on Netflix following the June 1 broadcast of WWE Raw. With his heel persona behind him, and after conquering the dark arts of lucha libre, an unmasked Gable has made amends with Alpha Academy and former lucha opps like Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee and Penta, whom Gable will challenge for the IC ***** le after winning a No. 1 Contender's Gauntlet on WWE Raw.
Gable finds himself as the biggest favorite of Night 2 with -1500 odds per BetOnline, while Lesnar is the biggest underdog of either night with +900 odds to topple Oba Femi (-3000) in their rubber match inside ***** in a Cell.

MLB teams won't get another look at a potential trade candidate before Monday's trade deadline.
The Detroit Tigers scratched Casey Mize from Friday night's scheduled start against the Athletics, according to The Athletic's Cody Stavenhagen. Mize is healthy, and the Tigers have no deal in place for the 29-year-old, but they'll skip him as a precaution.
Mize is now scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Of course, that hinges on him staying with Detroit through the deadline.
Mize has followed a 2025 All-Star campaign with even better results this season. The right-hander has registered a 2.70 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and career-high 24.9 percent strikeout rate in 16 stellar starts.

Liverpool's latest transfer thinking appears to have turned towards Bradley Barcola, with the Paris Saint-Germain winger emerging as a major target as planning continues for life after Mohamed Salah. The idea is easy to understand on talent alone. Barcola is young, quick, refined in possession and already seasoned at elite level. Yet once the excitement settles, the shape of the move becomes more complicated.
Liverpool are preparing an opening bid for the France international, who is valued by PSG at around £145 million. With performance-related clauses reportedly capable of taking the package to €150 million, this is the sort of deal that alters the landscape of a window. It would not be a speculative addition or a market opportunity seized on a whim. It would be a declaration, one that places Barcola at the centre of Liverpool's attacking future.
That is precisely why the positional debate matters so much. Salah's departure at the end of last season left a structural absence as much as an emotional one. Replacing his goals is one challenge, replacing his function another. Liverpool lost a right-sided forward who shaped the geometry of every game. The question now is whether Barcola answers that need, or whether he solves a different problem entirely.
There is no dispute over the player's ability. Jamie Carragher made that clear when discussing the move, saying: "He's a great player, there's no doubt about that – I'd love to get Barcola at Liverpool,". But his wider concern goes to the architecture of the squad. Liverpool, in his view, are better stocked on the left than they are on the right, which makes a huge investment in Barcola feel curious unless it is part of a broader redesign.
That concern has substance. Cody Gakpo offers a reliable option from the left, Rio Ngumoha remains one of the club's more intriguing younger attackers and Víctor Munoz has also been added. In isolation, signing another left-sided player of elite pedigree sounds attractive. In practical terms, though, elite squads still require a certain balance. Too much accumulation on one flank can create a shortage elsewhere, particularly when the outgoing player was as singular as Salah.

CHICAGO - Did these last two days on the South Side alter anything in the Yankees' trade deadline strategy?
In dropping a pair of extra-inning games to the White Sox, ending with Thursday afternoon's 2-1, 11-inning loss, it was all about the Yanks' inability to gain any offensive traction.
That's been a team theme since mid-June, and there are four shopping days left to improve this lineup – now missing the injured Cody Bellinger (hamstring), in addition to Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton – before Monday's 6 p.m. MLB trade deadline.
The Yankee front office's response will shadow over everything this weekend at Wrigley Field, as the Yanks continue their Windy City week with three games vs. the Cubs.
And these last two games couldn't have gone worse against the White Sox, with the Yanks' failure to fully support their starters, and a relief corps on fumes.

SummerSlam 2026 is set to kick off this weekend with CM Punk and Cody Rhodes headlining Night 1 of the two-night Premium Live Event.
Punk heads into the match as the Undisputed WWE Champion following his return and win over Sami Zayn.
Zayn is now competing in a No. 1 Contender match on the same PLE, taking on Finn Balor, with the winner of that bout set to get a ***** le shot against the winner of Punk vs Rhodes.
At present, it is looking more likely that whoever does emerge victorious out of Sami and Finn will be challenging CM Punk for the ***** le at some point down the line.

It took a while, but the Blue Jackets finally have their coaching staff in place for the upcoming season.
More: Columbus Blue Jackets plan to hire Don Granato as NHL **** istant coach
The team announced July 30 that former Buffalo Sabres head coach Don Granato was hired to join a staff led by head coach Rick Bowness, a move that's been pending for a month. The Blue Jackets also announced the hiring of San Jose Sharks **** istant video coach Cody Ward to head their video staff.
Granato, 58, and Ward, 28, join **** istant Trent Vogelhuber, **** istant Jared Boll, goaltending coach Niklas Backstrom and **** istant video coach Cam Briere.
"I am very excited about the staff we have put together," Bowness said in a statement.

The 2026 football season for the Auburn Tigers is on the horizon. As we anticipate the start of the season, let's introduce you to a key member of the 2026 roster.
Auburn defensive lineman Saint Farrior shares a similar story to fellow lineman Cody Sigler. Like Sigler, Farrior received little attention during the high school recruiting process, transferred to a Sun Belt program after originally signing with a lower-level program, and made his way to Auburn as an upperclassman.
Farrior joins Auburn's roster after spending last season at Appalachian State, and the two years prior at Hampton. He played in just 173 snaps over 14 games in his two seasons with Hampton before trying his luck with another program. The decision to transfer worked for him as he participated in 261 snaps over 13 games with Appalachian State in 2025, a year when Farrior would triple his career total in tackles. His best game during his time as a Mountaineer came against Marshall on Nov. 22, when he logged a career-high five tackles and his first career sack.
He will spend the 2026 season as an Auburn Tiger, where he hopes to see his career continue to flourish. He will work to enter a strong defensive line rotation headlined by Chris Murray. As one of the eldest members of the position group, Farrior has a steady chance of making an impact on the Plains.

ESPN | Jorge Castillo: The two New York teams are expected to have wildly different trade deadlines, with the Yankees presumed to be buyers and the Mets perhaps the biggest sellers. While there's a couple possible deals to be had between the two clubs — ****** o, Luke Weaver? — the largest possible splashes for the Yankees look like they could come from the West Coast. The San Diego Padres offer two relievers that could reinforce the bullpen, and the Angels feature both Zack Neto and Reid Detmers as alluring trade targets.
FanGraphs | Jay Jaffe: With Cody Bellinger out 4-6 weeks with a hamstring strain, the Yankee lineup and outfield are starting to look pretty bald. The team is already suffering significantly without Aaron Judge in the lineup, and while they still have a chance to win the AL East, they need someone to step up and start hitting, or they have an increased need to bring in an impact bat before the Trade Deadline.
Front Office Sports | Eric Fisher: As a longtime lover of MLB.tv, I get to benefit from what might be sports' best livestreaming experience. From what I've heard from New York locals, the Gotham Sports App has not been a very good livestreaming experience. The platform has repeatedly had playback, UI, and general quality issues over the past two seasons, and it seems it is being sunsetted by the YES and MSG networks. Streaming service DAZN is being tapped as the replacement for Gotham Sports, and I'll keep using MLB.tv.
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: The Yankees announced who will be coming back to the Bronx on August 8th for the 78th edition of Old-Timers' Day. Hall of Famers Joe Torre and Mariano Rivera lead the way, and they'll be joined by Monument Park honorees Ron Guidry, Willie Randolph, Bernie Williams, Tino Martinez, Paul O'Neill, Jorge Posada, and Andy Pettitte. The first-time Old-Timers are Dellin Betances (born in 1988, gulp), Todd Frazier, David Weathers, and Adam Ottavino (who just pitched last year). Check out the full list!
TSN: If you know me, you know I'm a born hater. I want Shohei Ohtani to grow old and die warm in a bed surrounded by loved ones and I hope he has a rock in his shoe every single time he steps on a baseball field. Yesterday was a win for the haters, as Alek Manoah was released by the Angels. One imagines Gerrit Cole opened a particularly special bottle of wine last night's game with the White Sox.

Columbus jumped out to an early 4-0 lead then held on to preserve the victory Tuesday. Leading the way was Ralphy Velazquez, who snapped out of a short funk by going 2-fo-4 with a massive 415-foot three-run home run in the first inning while also doubling.
In his first game back in Columbus, Daniel Schneemann was perfect at the plate, going 1-for-1 with three walks. Cooper Ingle went 2-for-5 and Angel Genao went 1-for-3 with a walk while Kody Huff homered and George Valera doubled.
Starting pitcher Rorik Maltrud danced around four walks to toss 4.1 innings while allowing one run on three hits with four strikeouts.
All three relievers Steven Perez, Carlos Hernandez and Cody Heuer allowed one run in their appearances.
Akron's offense erupted on Tuesday, scoring 12 runs on a whopping 19 hits with everyone getting in on the action.
