‘Donnarumma and Raiola have cost Milan €100m’ The fitness guru, who spent two-and-a-half years as the head of fitness and conditioning with Liverpool, is said to have been handpicked by Arsene Wenger himself. Burgess will join up with the Gunners in July, but he will return to Australia later that month to oversee the Port Adelaide’s performance programme at the end of the current campaign. Furthermore, if Adelaide make it into the AFL Finals, Burgess will return to the club for the duration and then be back in October and November to make plans for the club and help find his successor....

Before FromSoftware’s Dark Souls and Demon’s Souls games, one of the studio’s main focuses was on its long-running series of Armored Core mecha games where mercenary pilots take their hulking machines into battle on behalf of corporations and private enterprises. Throughout the series, the gameplay has generally revolved around the player undertaking various missions and using the income to purchase new components to customize their mechs. Customization is critical to success, as each mission and opponent calls for different configurations of parts, ranging from details like generators and heat sinks to missiles, cannons, and melee weapons....

Jan Ullrich, the only German winner of the Tour de France, said in an interview published on Wednesday that he was not surprised at Lance Armstrong‘s downfall because he “made too many enemies”. “Normally I don’t wish bad things on people, including Armstrong,” the rider, who was himself convicted of doping violations last February and stripped of his career results back to 2005, was quoted as saying by Sport-Bild....

The WWE Hall of Famer discussed the TLC 2010 pay-per-view on the latest episode of his ARN podcast. That event ended with John Cena picking up a victory over the leader of The Nexus, Wade Barrett. Many fans and people involved in WWE around that time have questioned the booking of the John Cena vs. The Nexus storyline. Anderson, who worked as a producer for many of Cena’s matches, is among those who felt the story should have been told differently....

“I couldn’t have imagined getting the pop I got on that night,” Anderson, who will be at Starrcast IV this weekend in a series of appearances, told Sporting News. “The fact that the newer fans know who I am means I left a lasting impression on their fathers, their mothers, and their grandparents when they were watching me on television or at the arena.” Join DAZN to watch Logan Paul vs....

According to Oddschecker, the Northern Irishman arrives at the Bay Hill Club and Lodge as a 9/2 favorite to take the tournament for the second time in three years. McIlroy shot an 18-under-par 270 to finish three shots ahead of Bryson DeChambeau in 2018 and has finished no worse than fifth in each of his six starts so far. Since missing the cut at the Open Championship in Northern Ireland in July last year, the four-time major winner has finished outside the top 10 just once in 10 starts....

If he does run, a great campaign ad will be crucial to overcoming voter resistance to a candidate who kills with his hands. NEWSWEEK recently visited Schwarzenegger’s office, spoke with him on the Warner Brothers lot and put together this potential script, based entirely on real scenes and interviews: Voice-over: He was born in a small town in Austria… … but he’s as American as an M-16! He built a career on nothing but willpower and protoplasm....

The home side played out a goalless draw at Famalicao in their previous league outing, meaning they are just two points above the relegation zone. Porto have opened up a six-point lead at the top of the standings, thanks to a 15-game winning run in the league currently. They secured a 2-1 win over Maritimo in their previous outing and are the only side without a defeat in the Portuguese top-flight at the moment....

With uncertainty over Arsene Wenger at Arsenal, Rodgers has emerged as a possible replacement should the long-serving Frenchman leave the Emirates Stadium. Rodgers – who also managed Swansea City – is no stranger to English football, having fallen agonisingly short of the 2013-14 Premier League title during his time at Anfield. But the 45-year-old is in no rush to move back to the Premier League as he seeks to claim back-to-back Scottish Premiership crowns and a fifth trophy as Celtic boss....

Whilst this fixture didn’t produce the kind of manic goalfest it did last time - 10 goals between these sides in two league encounters in 2017/18 - it, however, did produce several nervy moments at either end as Arsenal and Liverpool both came close on several occasions throughout the game, but it was a case of missed chances. The result leaves the Merseysiders provisionally at the top of the table, while the Gunners are up to fifth now....

Arsenal are reportedly planning a siege on fellow Premier League side Southampton with three potential targets lined up, according to the Express. Arsene Wenger has identified a trio of players who can make the difference at the Emirates of next season, as the Frenchman looks to build on a trophy-winning season for the first time in nine years.

Wenger: I know my future The Spaniard wasn’t included in the Gunners squad to face West Brom on Saturday and the club confirmed that Perez, along with German international Mesut Ozil, didn’t travel due to both players suffering thigh and hamstring injuries respectively. Perez, who is determined to be included in the Spain squad for the 2018 World Cup, has struggled for game time at Arsenal this season and Goal revealed last month that the 28-year-old will look to leave Emirates Stadium this summer in search of regular first team football....

The incident occurred in the final minute of Monday’s title game, with UNC trailing by one point; Bacot collapsed to the floor and turned the ball over on a scoring attempt. That allowed Kansas to take over possession and forced Bacot to hop on one leg to the other end of the floor. Officials stopped the game after he crossed midcourt so he could leave the floor for treatment. North Carolina ultimately lost 72-69 to the Jayhawks without Bacot on the court for the game’s final moments....

The unique story of a man from Egypt with no hands. Ibrahim Hamato was invited as an honour guest of the ITTF President Adham Sharara to visit and enjoy the ZEN-NOH 2014 World Team Table Tennis Championships in Tokyo, Japan. “I had an accident when I was 10 years old, but I loved table tennis,” he told the International Table Tennis Federation. “Three years after my accident I wanted to play again holding the racket under my arm, but it didn’t work out....

The center will provide resources and support for soldiers who are victims of sexual assault or have had suicidal thoughts. It will also provide training on how to prevent suicide, substance abuse and sexual assault and harassment, as well as how to respond to assault allegations. Lieutenant General Gary Brito, the Army’s deputy chief of staff for personnel, said Thursday he hopes the center will provide “a very cordial, comfortable environment, responsive to any soldiers and victims, in a coordinated location, with experts that can also assist in other areas as well,” the AP said....

The 20-year-old defender is reported to be drawing plenty of admiring glances ahead of the summer transfer window. Tottenham, Monaco and RB Leipzig have also been credited with holding an interest in the France U21 international. ‘Arsenal must sign big players’ Toulouse, though, are understandably reluctant to part with a prized asset and the Ligue 1 side are adamant that no official approaches have been received for Diop. A statement released by the club on their official website read: “Toulouse Football Club formally denies any contacts that have been reported in the press over the last few days as regards the players that make up our defence....

Arsenal led through Alexandre Lacazette’s header at Emirates Stadium on Thursday, the visitors having been reduced to 10 men in the 10th minute by Sime Vrsaljko’s second yellow card. Coach Diego Simeone was also sent to the stands but Atletico - whose goalkeeper Jan Oblak was in brilliant form - claimed a priceless away goal through Antoine Griezmann’s late strike. Danny Welbeck was hustled out of possession, Laurent Koscielny fell under pressure from Griezmann and Shkodran Mustafi compounded the error by slipping as he tried to stop the France forward converting after David Ospina blocked the initial shot....

Arsenal appeared to be heading towards a shock defeat after Josh Murphy’s clever finish in the 34th minute put the Championship side ahead at Emirates Stadium. Arsenal 5/6 to beat Swans to nil But Nketiah made a stunning contribution from the bench, scoring less than 60 seconds after his introduction for Reiss Nelson in the 85th minute to open his account for the senior team Nketiah then secured Arsenal’s passage in the sixth minute of extra time, leaving Wenger baffled by Chelsea’s decision to let him leave their academy as a 14-year-old....

Haunted Wenger running into nemesis The full-back, 31, has been a member of the team that exited the Champions League due to an embarrassing loss against Bayern Munich and has seen their Premier League title hopes fade since the Christmas period. Since the beginning of February, the Gunners have lost four of seven fixtures, recording wins against non-league opponents Sutton and Lincoln in the FA Cup, as well as relegation-threatened Hull....

The left-back has agreed a long-term deal with the Gunners, bringing to an end their summer-long pursuit of the 22-year-old. Arsenal saw two previous bids for the Scotland international rejected, however they have finally got their man ahead of Thursday’s 1700 BST deadline for Premier League clubs. The reported fee of £25million is the highest received by a Scottish club for a player, eclipsing the £19.7m Lyon paid the Hoops for Moussa Dembele a year ago....
