According to Ben Jacobs, Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk still wants to remain in the Premier League this season as he prepares to leave Stamford Bridge on loan.
Leeds United have made two offers to sign the Ukraine international, but both were rejected. Chelsea reportedly do not intend to consider another bid from Leeds.
Orlando City superstar Antoine Griezmann showed off his passing technique with a perfect deep ball to a receiver during a break from soccer, prompting fans to wonder whether the French forward could try out for an NFL team.
The World Cup champion, who has played for Atlético Madrid and FC Barcelona, has the charisma, personality and presence to command attention wherever he appears—whether representing France, competing in Europe, wearing Orlando City’s violet or throwing a football like a veteran quarterback.
Griezmann did not arrive in Orlando to learn how to handle big matches. The Atlético Madrid and FC Barcelona legend has spent his career performing in high-stakes situations.
He is a World Cup winner with France, Atlético Madrid’s all-time leading scorer and a player who has scored more than 300 club goals. Mentioning “Grizou” brings to mind a footballer accustomed to stages where the pressure weighs differently.
Yet reducing Griezmann to statistics would miss the essence of the player. His charisma, personality and unmistakable aura make him impossible to ignore, whether he is playing for France, competing in Europe or now wearing violet in the Americas.

Jose Mourinho is taking a cautious approach to Aurelien Tchouameni’s return to the Real Madrid team.

Former Ferrari race engineer Rob Smedley has praised Audi’s Formula 1 power unit headquarters, describing the German manufacturer’s engine department as “second to none”.
Speaking on the High Performance Racing podcast with host Jake Humphrey and former Alpine team principal Otmar Szafnauer, Smedley assessed the progress made across the F1 grid during the first half of the season.
Audi has faced a steep learning curve since taking over the Sauber operation and entering Formula 1 as a works team. However, Smedley highlighted the scale and quality of the manufacturer’s investment in its powertrain programme.
“Sauber, I mean, they were pretty desperate these last two or three years. They were just awful, there’s no other word for it,”
the former engineer said.
Szafnauer argued that Audi already owned the team at that stage, meaning it had strong financial backing and decent infrastructure. Smedley responded by pointing to the company’s facilities in Germany.
“They’ve always had a very good wind tunnel, or have for a long time. But now, if you look at their facility in Germany, the engine facility, the power unit facility, that is second to none, and they’re still building and still going on it.

“So, this is a huge project for them. Hinwil as a Formula 1 facility leaves maybe a little bit to be desired. But they’re expanding that, and there are plans of where they want to go with it. So, this is a really important project for them.”
Audi retained Sauber’s 2025 driver line-up of Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto. After 12 rounds of the 2026 season, the team is eighth in the constructors’ championship with 16 points.
Bortoleto is 14th in the drivers’ standings with 10 points, while Hulkenberg is 15th with six points.
The 13th round of the season, the Italian Grand Prix, will be held at Monza from 4-6 September.

A 9-year-old football player was carrying the ball during a youth game in Wisconsin when an adult ran onto the field and deliberately tripped him.
The man was not another player, coach or official. Police identified him as a 41-year-old father whose child was playing for the opposing team.
The incident occurred on August 22 during a 10-U game between the Case Eagles and Milwaukee Colts at Case High School in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin. Video shows the young Eagles player running with the football before the man entered the field and extended his leg into the boy’s path.
The child fell to the ground but apparently escaped injury. He got back up and continued playing.
By the time Mount Pleasant police arrived, the man and the boy had both left the area. Another parent followed the father’s vehicle and helped officers locate him.
According to police, the father admitted that he had tripped the child and acknowledged that his actions were wrong. Bodycam footage from the encounter reportedly shows him attempting to explain his reaction by expressing concern about bigger children playing against his own child.
Authorities considered whether the incident could qualify as physical abuse of a child under Wisconsin law. However, police said the requirements for that charge were not met because the boy suffered no bodily harm.
The Racine County District Attorney’s Office was consulted. The 41-year-old father was ultimately cited for disorderly conduct and released.
Case Eagles coach Channing Schultz called it “the most cowardly act I’ve ever seen” and said the consequences could have been far more serious, including a significant leg injury.
The father was banned from attending games for the rest of the season. Schultz has called for a lifetime ban.
The boy was physically unharmed, but the video captured an unsettling moment in which an adult interfered with a 9-year-old during a football play.
Sergio Perez says he remains committed to Cadillac despite his management holding talks with rival Formula 1 teams about a possible move for the 2027 season.
Reports had linked Perez with Williams if Carlos Sainz decided to leave the team. However, Sainz signed a multi-year contract extension with the Grove-based outfit, removing that potential opportunity.
The Mexican driver was also associated with Alpine, although the team is expected to retain Franco Colapinto for 2027 after the Argentine improved during his first full season with the Enstone-based squad.
Despite the speculation, Perez told Formula 1’s Beyond the Grid podcast that he wants to remain part of Cadillac and help the American team develop beyond its debut season.
“For me, nothing has changed,” he said. “Of course, we’ve had conversations with other teams and here and there, a few teams have been calling and stuff, but for me, nothing has changed.
“I see this as my project and I want to be part of Cadillac. I really believe [in it].
“I don’t think this is a one-year project. I think this is a long-term project that I want to be part of. Obviously, there will be some discussions, but this is where I want to be and nothing has changed from my side.”
Perez said he wants to see Cadillac make further progress and is also keen to assess the impact of new team principal Marcin Budkowski. Budkowski replaced Graeme Lowdon, who was released by Cadillac during the summer break.
For Perez, improving Cadillac’s results will require more than simply increasing the car’s on-track performance. He also highlighted the team’s operational work, including pit stops, race strategy and tyre management.
“I want to see more progress. Closing out the gap to the teams ahead of us,” he said. “I don’t know who’s ahead at the moment, I don’t know if it’s Williams, Aston seems to have become part [of the midfield] and being able to mix with them more in the races.
“Being able to close that gap will only allow us to start next year in a much better shape. And that’s something I want to see. Obviously, I’m looking forward to work with Marcin and see his leadership.
“I think there’s a lot of room for improvement. Not just on performance, operationally, pitstops, strategy, tyres.
“There’s so much still – we’ve only done the 11th race in our history. So there’s a lot of things. But I want to see much more progress. Closing out the gap and then I think that will give us a massive boost to start next year.”
BTS’ two-night return to Chicago may be over, but the group appears to have left Soldier Field with personalized souvenirs commemorating their ARIRANG World Tour concerts.
All seven members were reportedly seen with NFL-style footballs featuring their names and the dates of BTS’ Chicago shows. The unusual keepsakes surfaced online after the group attended soundcheck before its second concert on August 28.
Photos shared by fans appear to show individual red-and-white footballs customized for each BTS member. The designs feature “BTS: WORLD TOUR” across the white section, with “AUGUST 27 & 28, 2026” printed underneath. Each football also includes the name of one member.
Although fans have speculated about where the items came from, the images provide a clear view of the personalized designs. One photo shows a member holding a football inside Soldier Field, while another offers a closer look at the lettering and concert dates.
The footballs arrived during a significant moment for BTS and its fans. The group performed at Soldier Field on August 27 and 28, marking its first Chicago concerts in seven years.
More than 60,000 members of ARMY gathered at Soldier Field for the opening concert, with fans traveling from across the United States. BTS-themed meetups, merchandise lines and other fan activities also took place throughout Chicago during the concert weekend.
The shows gave many fans the opportunity to see all seven BTS members perform together again after the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted the group’s planned 2020 world tour. BTS’ subsequent hiatus also included the members’ staggered mandatory military service in South Korea.
Chicago’s concerts highlighted the enduring connection between BTS and ARMY. Fans have frequently credited the group’s music and message with helping them through difficult periods, while BTS has addressed themes such as self-acceptance, mental health and personal growth.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker recognized the occasion by declaring August 27 and 28 “BTS Days” in honor of the group’s global influence and its performances at Soldier Field.
Against that backdrop, the customized footballs serve as fitting mementos of BTS’ Chicago return. They combine the group’s concert experience with a distinctive piece of American sports culture, while the individual names give each souvenir a personal connection to one member.
