Newcastle United complete first summer signing — and loan to Champions League rivals
NEWCASTLE: Sporting director Dan Ashworth has revealed that Newcastle United’s first confirmed summer signing forms part of a wider transfer strategy aimed at making the Magpies a long-term force. Newcastle completed a near $7.5 million deal for Gambian forward Yankuba Minteh from Danish side Odense Boldklug on Monday, the first move they’ve made in the market since their top-four Premier League finish. And while the temptation would usually have been to throw the 18-year-old straight in the first-team mix, Newcastle have sent the player automatically out on loan to Feyenoord for the whole of the 2023/24 season.

Inter players arrive for Nations League duty with Italy
ROME: Inter Milan's contingent of players arrived for Italy duty on Monday ahead of their Nations League semi-final against Spain two days after their Champions League final defeat. Roberto Mancini's side take on Spain in Enschede, the Netherlands on Thursday. The five Inter players called up -- Nicolo Barella, Alessandro Bastoni, Federico Dimarco, Francesco Acerbi and Matteo Darmian -- arrived at the Italian team's national training centre at Coverciano, near Florence, after losing the Champions League final to Manchester City in Istanbul. "The focus is now on Thursday's game," defender Acerbi told a press conference. "There is respect for Spain, but no fear: we know their strengths and their weaknesses." European champions Italy are looking to bounce back after failing to qualify for a second consecutive World Cup. "Not qualifying for the World Cup was probably our fault. Now there's this Nations League, we want to win it, we're going to give something extra to make it happen," he added. Mancini paid tribute to former AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi, who died Monday morning at the age of 86. "It's a sad day for everyone because Silvio Berlusconi is a man who has meant so much to Italy," said Mancini.
