Brewers in trade pursuit of Mets' $26M starter after missing out on Tarik Skubal originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Milwaukee Brewers are expected to buy at this year's trade deadline, but they missed out on the biggest prize in Tarik Skubal, who went to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Now, the Brewers are exploring the other starting rotation options this summer, with their sights reportedly set on one pitcher from the New York Mets. But it's not Freddy Peralta after he was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays.
According to Joel Sherman of The New York Post, the Brewers are among the many clubs pursuing a trade for New York Mets starting pitcher Clay Holmes.
"Clay Holmes of the Mets is drawing a lot of attention in the market," Sherman reports. "The Brewers are among those pursuing."

PHILADELPHIA — Eagles rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon was suited up and participated in individual drills Monday but did not take part in team periods during Philadelphia's first padded practice of training camp. Lemon was not listed on the team's pre-practice injury report, and the Eagles did not immediately provide an explanation for his absence from competitive drills. His status will bear monitoring when Philadelphia returns to the field.
The team announced that outside linebacker Keyshawn James-Newby would not practice because of an ankle injury. Offensive linemen Micah Morris and Jaeden Roberts were sidelined by shoulder and calf injuries, respectively, while safety Cole Wisniewski remained out with a hamstring issue.
Right tackle Lane Johnson missed his second consecutive practice because of an excused, non-injury-related absence. Second-year offensive lineman Cameron Williams was listed as limited while working through a knee contusion.
Lemon's omission from the report distinguishes his situation from those absences. He completed positional work before stepping aside when the offense moved into team periods, suggesting the Eagles were controlling his workload for a reason that had not been disclosed. Philadelphia selected Lemon after a productive career at Southern California. He dealt with a hamstring issue during the spring but participated in summer workouts organized by Jalen Hurts and was active during the opening practices of camp.
Lemon is competing for a role in a deep receiver room led by DeVonta Smith. Missing team repetitions can slow a rookie's development, particularly while learning multiple alignments in Sean Mannion's offense.

Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Roman Reigns ended his feud with Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens returned in a big way at WWE SummerSlam on Sunday.
Reigns successfully defended his World Heavyweight Championship against Rollins in the main event on Sunday.
The match paid homage to Reigns and Rollins' storied history starting with their time together as iconic group The Shield. Reigns and Rollins performed each other moves and even maneuvers from missing Shield member Dean Ambrose, who now wrestles for AEW as Jon Moxley.
Reigns won the match after he was able to dodge a top rope Stomp from Rollins followed by three Spears to earn the three count. Afterwards, Reigns and Rollins performed the signature Shield fist ****** p in the middle of the ring.
Kevin Owens, who has been out of action for over a year due to injury, was added to the No. 1 contender's match between Sami Zayn and Finn Balor. The bout was turned into a Fatal 4-Way by SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis, who also added Gunther into the mix.

The offseason is officially over. As of now, all 32 teams have reported for training camp. The Cleveland Browns started their 2026 campaign last week when the team practiced for the first time under 1st-year head coach Todd Monken. This offseason, the team underwent multiple changes, but the one that everyone will pay close attention to is the quarterback situation. Deshaun Watson will try to salvage his football career, while Shedeur Sanders will try to prove he can be a long-term starter in the NFL, while Dillon Gabriel and Taylen Green are also on the depth chart.
The last time Watson played, the tape he put up was atrocious. As for Sanders, the tape wasn't great; he showed small flashes, but it wasn't enough to outweigh the bad. Watson or Sanders will get a fair opportunity to win the job, but which quarterback will the team benefit from if they were to get the nod? GM Andrew Berry and Monken both have said it's all about production, but will the decision be more nuanced than that?
For Watson, it's his last chance to prove he can play in the NFL. Since being traded to the Browns in a blockbuster deal, he hasn't been anything close to the Pro Bowl play we saw during his tenure with the Houston Texans. An argument can be made that Watson's first full year as the starter, after missing half of the season due to his suspension the year prior, showed signs of competency. The layoff was evident, but as the 2023 season went on, Watson showed signs of the old Watson at times.
However, injuries hampered the QB relatively quickly; then he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury, but the team managed to get to the postseason despite that. Watson came back in 2024, but he was a shell of himself before tearing his Achilles. His decision-making looked worse, his athleticism began to dip, and his arm strength started to diminish. Watson didn't play the entire 2025 season as he recovered from his Achilles tear.
In terms of benefits, Cleveland gets little to no benefit starting Watson mainly due to the fact that the team is in year two of a rebuild. If winning games was the priority, and Watson won the job by a decent margin, his starting would make sense.

Roma continues to push for Givairo Read.
As Matteo Moretto recently reported on Fabrizio Romano's YouTube channel, the Giallorossi initially showed interest in Sporting's Ivan Fresneda, but subsequently decided to focus on the Dutch full-back from Feyenoord.
Read has already said yes to Roma, and there's a principled agreement between the player and the club: now all that's missing is an agreement between the two clubs.
The initial offer of around €25 million wasn't enough to convince Feyenoord, but contacts between the clubs are continuing unabated.
New discussions are planned between today and tomorrow to try to make a definitive move and present a potential relaunch that could shake the Dutch club.

Cardiff City midfielder Alex Robertson says missing out on a place in Australia's World Cup squad was "tough to take", but insists his full focus is now on helping the Bluebirds build on last season's success.
Twelve months ago, Robertson's Cardiff future appeared uncertain. The 23-year-old was left out of the matchday squad entirely until late October and faced a battle to establish himself under manager Brian Barry-Murphy.
Fast forward a year and the midfielder looks set to play a leading role as Cardiff prepare for their Championship return.
"I'm playing. I'm involved. This time last year I wasn't," Robertson said.
"So obviously things have changed. I just want to give my best for the club, the team and the staff that put so much work in every day."

Texas A&M's 2026 season is just a month away, as the Aggies will open the new campaign against Missouri State on Saturday, Sept. 5, which also means the 2028 recruiting class will begin to take shape, including a long list of priority prospects visiting the Aggies during one of seven games in Kyle Field.
Under coach Mike Elko, who is entering his third season at the helm, the Aggies are close to locking up the No. 1-ranked 2027 recruiting class, even after missing out on landing five-star running back Landen Williams-Callis, who committed to Texas on Saturday night. So far, A&M's lone 2028 commit is four-star Edge Chance Archangel, while the Aggies are heavily predicted to land blue-chip five-star quarterback Donald Tabron III.
Other names to watch include four-star running back and Aggie legacy Ian Thomas, while fellow A&M legacy and four-star wide receiver Dillon Mitchell has also been predicted to land with the Aggies. This weekend, Rivals insider Adam Gorney revealed that Texas A&M and third-year coach Mike Elko are making strides with four-star California-based athlete Zion Anderson.
"His cousin is Miami commit Donte Wright. His super close friend is UCLA pledge Juju Johnson. So that could play an influence for the Long Beach Poly standout but Texas A&M is coming on strong with Cal, USC, Alabama, Nebraska and others."
Zion Anderson is one of the top-ranked athletes in the 2028 cycle, playing wide receiver and cornerback during his 2025 junior season, reeling in 19 receptions, 381 yards, and 4 touchdowns, combined with 16 tackles, an interception, and 5 pass breakups. At 6'0" and 160 pounds, Anderson looks like a corner at the next level, but could easily play either position given his speed and versatility, while also thriving as a punt returner.

One final 'Summer Series' outing, one final pre -season run out in the States before a return to Europe and another encouraging display for Regis Le bris before attention turns to Lens and Stade Rennes in our final pre-season tests.
The team news provided the first talking point of the evening, with Robin Roefs replacing Melker Ellborg for his first appearance after returning from the World Cup, as well as Habib Diarra and Noah Sadiki coming in for Alan Browne and Enzo Le Fée with Le Fée missing out with a knock — hopefully just a precaution.
Wrexham, meanwhile, made seven changes to their side that narrowly lost to Liverpool, with commentators suggesting that the team was expected to be close to that which will start against Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup next weekend.
From the first whistle Sunderland looked sharper, quicker and a far more cohesive unit.
The first chance arrived inside the first couple of minutes, when Trai Hume clipped a lovely ball down the line for Diarra, whose cut back found the oncoming Romaine Mundle. However, good pressure from the defender meant Mundle sliced his effort wide on his weaker foot.

Alexander Zverev has arrived at the 2026 Canadian Open as the top seed, headlining a depleted field with Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, and Carlos Alcaraz missing from the draw. Amid the discourse stirred by Djokovic and Sinner's decisions to withdraw, Zverev pinpointed why neither financial incentives nor ranking penalties would have influenced the 24-time Grand Slam champion's move.
After Sinner and Djokovic announced their decision to withdraw from the ATP Masters event in Montréal, tournament director Valérie Tétreault and Tennis Canada CEO Gavin Ziv suggested that "adjustments are needed" and revealed they are in discussions with the ATP to help ensure top players participate in important events.
During his pre-tournament press conference at the Canadian Open, Zverev was asked whether handing out bonuses to participants while imposing penalties on absentees could help address the issue.
However, the German pointed out that such a system already exists, as players who compete in eight of the nine Masters 1000 events receive a share of the ATP's multimillion-dollar bonus pool.
"That's the way it is right now. I mean, it's not rocket science. We get bonuses at the end of the year if we play all nine Masters," he said.

If Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer had one goal ahead of this year's trade deadline, it was to add the type of starting pitcher that a team in win-now mode needs and deserves. And on the eve of the trade deadline, we can now say that he has done just that. The Chicago Cubs landed one of the best rentals on the market Sunday, acquiring right-hander Kevin Gausman from the Toronto Blue Jays for prospects Brett Bateman and Ty Southisene.
Gausman, 35, checks a lot of boxes for the Cubs, who have also acquired pitchers David Peterson and Aaron Civale in recent weeks. Not only is Gausman the type of frontline starting pitcher that Chicago's rotation has been missing, but what's more, for a team looking to go deep into October, he has the postseason pedigree that is sought after by every contender.
Chicago's newly acquired right-hander is 5-10 with a 4.38 ERA in 23 starts this season, but his 3.51 FIP would suggest that he has been a bit unlucky thus far in 2026. In his postseason career, Gausman has a 3.83 ERA with 56 strikeouts across 56 ⅓ innings.
There might not be a team in baseball that has been hit as hard by injury as the Chicago Cubs this year. And most of that has come in their starting rotation. After right-hander Cade Horton was lost to season-ending elbow surgery, left-hander Justin Steele hit a setback in his rehab and has yet to pitch this season. Right-handers Ben Brown and Edward Cabrera are also currently on the 15-day IL.
Nonetheless, the Cubs have shown they aren't messing around in their quest to make noise the rest of this season as they try to get back to the playoffs. They designated right-hander Jameson Taillon for ****** ignment on Monday after his struggles continued. He has since been traded to the Blue Jays for a player to be named later or cash.

Manchester United are keen on signing Newcastle United's Lewis Hall according to reports.
The Red Devils have been interested in bringing in a new left back to provide cover to Luke Shaw ahead of the new season with United having a much more full fixture list.
According to journalist Andy Mitten in The National, the club are interested in signing the defender with a feeling that the England international would be open to the move.
The main stumbling block would be the price with United missing out on preferred midfield candidates this summer in a bid to keep transfer expenditure low. Indeed, Newcastle will not be happy to sell having already seen Sandro Tonali leave this summer with Bruno Guimarães expected to follow.
Any move would also likely see an exit for teenager Harry Amass who has featured in pre-season so far and has featured seven times for the senior side previously.

Hearts head coach Wouter Vrancken admitted he will likely have to bring in further defensive reinforcements after several key players were struck down by injury in the opening three games of the season.
Vice-captain Stephen Kingsley, new centre-back Malachi ***** an-Walcott and right-back Christian Borchgrevink all picked up knocks in the Champions League qualifying double header against Sturm Graz, which ended in a 6-0 aggregate defeat.
Club captain Craig Halkett is already missing after rupturing his Achilles in the third-to-last match of the previous campaign, while fellow centre-half Stuart Findlay is out for next week's league match after his red card in the opener against Aberdeen.
Vrancken has already utilised four centre-back pairings, with midfielder McEntee filling in next to Findlay in the 2-1 loss at Pittodrie.
Jordi Altena and Harry Milne are the only fit full-backs, while Jamie McCart and MJ Kamson-Kamara, who is yet to play a competitive game for Hearts, are the fit centre-back options. New signing Laurent Mendy could also fill in further back.

Countdown to kickoff is back! USC will kick off its 2026 football season on August 29 when the Trojans host San Jose State at the Coliseum. In this series, we will be counting down the days until the season opener by highlighting a notable Trojan who wore each number.
With 27 days to go, today we look at former USC cornerback Ajene Harris.
Position: Cornerback
Years played at USC: 2014-2018
Career highlights: Although he played quarterback in high school, Harris switched to wide receiver when he arrived at USC in 2014. As a true freshman, he caught four passes for 38 yards, before missing the entire 2015 season with a hip injury. Following his return to the field in 2016, Harris changed positions again, this time converting to cornerback.

As a true freshman, he caught four passes for 38 yards, before missing the entire 2015 season with a hip injury. Following his return to the field in 2016, Harris changed positions again, this time converting to cornerback.

Penn State's 2026 season will feature a completely overhauled roster following an offseason of significant transition. A coaching change led to a flurry of activity in the transfer portal, which led to a number of new faces on the program. We have taken some time to profile each player on the roster this season, but now it is time to dig a little deeper on the 25 players who will play the largest roles on the roster.
We shift our focus today to the defensive side of the football with one of the most important players coming back to the Nittany Lions in 2026; linebacker Tony Rojas.
A promising 2025 season was cut short early in the 2025 season for Tony Rojas. Coming off a stellar sophomore season in 2024 that was recognized with an honorable All-Big Ten mention, Rojas started four games for the Nittany Lions before missing the remainder of the year with a quad injury in a loss to Oregon. The loss of Rojas was felt immediately the following week when Penn State's defense was shredded by UCLA in a shocking loss that set in motion the eventual firing of head coach James Franklin. In his four games played, Rojas racked up 25 tackles with 4.5 tackles for loss and two sacks.
Rojas, a native of Virginia, was thought by some to be a potential player to follow Franklin to Virginia Tech during the offseason transfer window, but Rojas has remained committed to the Nittany Lions as Matt Campbell and his staff take over the program. His return is a key one for the defense and the team overall given his potential star power.
Is Tony Rojas back to full speed? That will be the main question for the star linebacker entering this season. Rojas said previously he expects to be cleared to go full speed in fall camp and once the season begins, as he was making good progress in his recovery plan entering the spring.

Eintracht Frankfurt have officially announced the signing of Raphael Onyedika from Belgian champions Club Brugge, with the Nigerian international becoming the club's new midfield anchor ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
The 25-year-old has signed a long-term contract after Frankfurt reached an agreement with Brugge following weeks of negotiations. According to reports, the transfer package is worth up to €21 million, making Onyedika one of the club's biggest signings in club history: he is as expensive as Jonathan Burkardt and Ritsu Doan and is therefore sharing rank 4 in Frankfurt's most expensive signings with them.
Frankfurt had identified Onyedika as their top target for the defensive midfield role thanks to his physical presence, ball-winning ability, and extensive Champions League experience. The Nigerian made 183 appearances for Club Brugge, winning two Belgian league ******* les as well as the Belgian Cup and Super Cup during his four-year spell in Belgium.
The Eagles beat competition from several clubs, including teams from Saudi Arabia, to secure Onyedika's signature. His arrival is expected to give head coach Adi Hütter a commanding presence in midfield as Frankfurt aim to return to European competition after missing out last season.

England's netballers were beaten 68-50 by world number one side Australia in their quest to win bronze at the Commonwealth Games.
The day after Saturday morning's frustrating semi-final loss to New Zealand, England tried to rally themselves to get on the podium but came up against a Diamonds team recovering from one of the biggest shocks in the tournament's history.
Australia - who had previously been in every Commonwealth final and won the tournament four times - were stunned by Jamaica on Saturday afternoon, giving them less time to recover for the bronze-medal match than England.
The crowd responded to a lively start as great pressure from Roses captain Fran Williams led to Australia shooter Kiera Austin missing a shot with the score at 5-5, and Liv Tchine neatly slotted the ball in to open up a lead at the other end.
England worked hard to shut down the Diamonds' forward-passing options, forcing them to play sideways, but the team in green and gold found their rhythm with devastating consequences, overturning a 9-7 deficit to lead 19-11 in a bruising seven-minute first-quarter spell for the Roses.

Cristian Chivu has made it clear that he still wants another winger or wing-back before the end of the summer transfer window, but says that he is pleased with what he saw from the Inter squad after defeating Manchester City in a pre-season friendly earlier this weekend.
The Nerazzurri stopped off in Hong Kong on their way over to Australia while on their summer tour, defeating Manchester City on penalties after a 1-1 draw following goals from Divin Mubama and Benjamin Pavard.
Talking to the media after full-time in South East Asia, Chivu said that the most important thing was that his players came through their test injury free, but admitted that he is still at least one new player in the wide areas.
"If you do the counting, you get the same results as us," Chivu told reporters after full-time against Man City (via La Gazzetta dello Sport).
"It depends on how you look at it. Maybe we're missing one on the left. We have three wingers at the moment, or rather three and a half because Carlos (Augusto) can play there as well. And depending on how we look at Luis Henrique, who can play on the right or left, we're still missing one. There's still a long way to go in the window, we need to be patient and choose well."

Entering his third season as Texas A&M's head baseball coach, Michael Earley's journey to College Station was as a volunteer, unpaid hitting coach, but thanks to a 2022 lawsuit filed by multiple college baseball coaches alleging that the NCAA violated federal antitrust laws by restricting their compensation to zero, Earley, and many others are in line to benefit from a $49.3 million settlement for these coaches, offering long-overdue compensation.
After three seasons as one of Texas A&M's key ******* istants and ace recruiters, former coach Jim Schlossnagle's dramatic decision to leave the Aggies for the Texas Longhorns led Trev Alberts to make his first significant coaching hire during his first full year as A&M's Athletic Director, choosing to give Michael Earley a shot given his strong relationship with the incoming 2025 roster and background as a hitting coach.
Earley has plenty of advice to bestow upon younger players, including his own son, urging future players during his appearance on the Chasing Baseball Dreams podcast with Bobby Minor to "compete, not compare" and focus on improving instead of looking at the player ahead of them who may possess certain athletic traits or experience that has yet to be gained.

The body of a 10-year-old girl who went missing after being swept into New Jersey's Passaic River was found July 31 after a two-day search, officials said.
Passaic Mayor Hector Lora said crews recovered the girl's body in the river south of the Market Street Bridge shortly before 7 p.m. Friday, July 31. The child was identified as Milian Dulan, according to PIX11.
The discovery came after emergency crews searched nearly 9 miles of the Passaic River using boats, sonar equipment, drones, helicopters and cadaver dogs. The search began July 29 after three children entered the water near a boat ramp at Pulaski Park in Passaic, New Jersey, and were swept away by the current.
One child, an 11-year-old girl, was able to get out of the river on her own, officials said. The bodies of her 10-year-old brother, identified by PIX11 as Michael Klenk, and Dulan were later recovered, officials said.
Authorities were preparing to end the search for the night Friday when a couple living near the Market Street Bridge reported seeing something in the river from their apartment window, CBS News reported.

Tarik Skubal, winner of the past two American League Cy Young Awards and one of the finest pitchers in the rich history of the Detroit Tigers, is being traded to the Dodgers, ending an epic tenure in the Motor City while giving a significant boost to the Dodgers' World Series three-peat chances.
ESPN's Jeff Passan was the first to report the deal.
Going back to Los Angeles are outfielder Zyhir Hope and right-handed pitchers River Ryan and Brady Smith, per Passan.
Skubal, 29, will become a free agent after this season and is expected to command a record-setting salary for a pitcher, an asking price the Tigers likely would not be willing to meet. He's already set a record for an arbitration-eligible pitcher with a $32 million salary this season, and now the Dodgers will be responsible for the last $9 million for the remainder of the season.
But oh, what a potential payoff: After missing 45 days due to elbow surgery, Skubal has roared back to top form, posting a 1.95 ERA and 50 strikeouts to six walks over a half-dozen starts. It's a level of efficiency approaching his past two seasons, when Skubal posted a 2.30 ERA over 62 starts, struck out 10.9 batters per nine innings and won a pair of Cy Youngs, the latter in unanimous fashion.

For the first time since training camp opened on Wednesday, fans were in attendance for Day 3 of camp for the Washington Commanders. The day began with some injury news, as head coach Dan Quinn revealed tight end John Bates was dealing with a strained hamstring and would miss "a couple of weeks."
But there was some good injury news: after missing only one practice with a sore foot, wide receiver Treylon Burks was back.
Quarterback Jayden Daniels had his best practice of the week so far, making multiple excellent throws. Daniels and Burks connected for an impressive conversion during third-down drills. Overall, though, it was another day where the defense held the upper hand.
So, which players stood out on Day 3? We look at four standouts from the third day of Washington's training camp.
Every day, it seems like a running back is making this list. Rachaad White is off to a fast start, and so is Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Jeremy McNichols, the 30-year-old, 10-year veteran, said, "Don't forget about me."

Michael B. Jordan is joining in on the joke after social media users likened his go-to red-carpet stance to a waiter preparing to take an order.
It's not the first time the actor's poses have become a talking point online, either, with his resurfaced Calvin Klein campaign also fueling plenty of online commentary a few months ago.
Michael B. Jordan proved he can laugh at himself after fans roasted one of his most recognizable red-carpet habits. Bustle shared an Instagram carousel highlighting years of photos showing the Oscar winner standing with his hands folded in front of him, alongside a viral post comparing the stance to a restaurant server asking, "Y'all ready to order yet?"
Rather than ignore the teasing, Jordan jumped into the comments with laughing and facepalm emojis, embracing the internet's latest observation. The Bustle admin added to the fun by joking that Jordan could "take my order anytime."
The lighthearted exchange follows just months after The Blast reported on another instance when Jordan's poses became part of a heated online conversation. A resurfaced Calvin Klein campaign he ran in 2023 ignited a wave of reactions as fans praised the actor's physique and confident modeling. A handful of critics were less impressed, though, with one dismissing the images as "not cute."

Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby is among the great players in the NFL at his position. Last season came with its share of challenges for Crosby, but that has not diminished the esteem that he is held in among his peers.
CBS Sports ranked Crosby No. 5 overall in their edge defender rankings this year.
"Crosby excels as a run defender and pass rusher, has a motor that never stops and basically never leaves the field. His competitive edge is exactly what you want from a face of the franchise."
Myles Garrett (No. 1), Micah Parsons (No. 2), Will Anderson Jr. (No. 3) and Aidan Hutchinson (No. 4) were all ranked above Crosby.
Crosby recorded 10 sacks, an interception and two forced fumbles last season. The veteran edge rusher also recorded 28 tackles for loss in 2025. He was the bright spot on the Las Vegas Raiders' roster last season, and despite the team finishing with the worst record in the league (3-14), and missing two games on the year, was still one of the most relentless edge rushers in getting after the quarterback.

The New England Patriots finished up their three-day stretch of consecutive practices in pads on Saturday.
With Sunday scheduled as a day off, the team took a more conservative approach to Day 7 of training camp. Granted, there was still a competitive period of practice, but multiple veteran players either rested during the period or left early.
The offense had the edge through the first two practices in pads, but the defense put up more of a fight in Saturday's session. If anything, the competition between the two units felt more even with the defense notching takeaways from quarterbacks Drake Maye and Behren Morton.
Here are the five standouts from Day 7 of training camp:
Patriots kicker Andy Borregales was a perfect 5-of-5 kicking field goals on Saturday. He obviously doesn't need training camp competition to light a fire under him. The second-year specialist has been red-hot through training camp, missing only two kicks to this point. His max distance was around 55 yards at practice.

Celtic have revived their interest in Farès Ghedjemis after fresh reports placed the Algerian winger back near the top of the club's shortlist. According to The Herald, the Scottish champions have reopened talks after narrowly missing out on the 23-year-old during the January transfer window, when Frosinone convinced him to remain and help their promotion push from Serie B.
Transfer Feed carried comments from Martin O'Neill, who admitted Celtic hold a "very, very strong interest" in Ghedjemis. While he stopped short of suggesting an agreement is close, O'Neill revealed discussions are progressing well. He added that he could not confirm whether Rangers are actively pursuing the winger despite recent speculation linking the Ibrox side with the same player.
The report states that negotiations for Real Oviedo's Haissem Hassan have slowed, making Ghedjemis a more realistic option. Frosinone are understood to value the Algeria international at around £8 million (€10 million) after a remarkable campaign that transformed his reputation across Italian football.

Statistics explain the growing interest. Ghedjemis finished the 2025/26 Serie B season with 15 goals and three ***** ists from 37 league appearances, playing 3,024 minutes as Frosinone secured automatic promotion by finishing second. His form carried into the international stage, earning regular Algeria call-ups before appearances during the country's run to the FIFA World Cup round of 32.

Patriots rookie outside linebacker Gabe Jacas made his NFL practice debut Saturday.
After starting training camp on the active/non-football injury list, Jacas passed his physical and returned to the practice field.
"We'll get Gabe back today," Mike Vrabel said Saturday morning. "He'll be out there in a limited role. We've talked to you about the return to play protocol that we have, and so now he gets handed over to the coaches, and that'll be in a limited role. He won't be involved in the team reps, but hopefully Monday, we'll see him back out there."
The beginning of Jacas' Patriots career has been turbulent after being drafted in the second round of the NFL Draft this spring.
After missing the offseason workout program following a knee procedure, Jacas was one of the last draft picks in the league to sign his rookie contract — a deal that included an uncommon injury waiver.
