He doesn't need to complicate the game or think he always has to pass or make a play. He just needs to play the game. He owns a good shot. He has shown us that he can fire a puck; he needs to shoot it and play the game. He doesn't have to overanalyze it or overpass. He just has to go and play.

The Blues' hierarchy believe they already possess sufficient depth and quality in both positions. The decision shows a growing confidence in their current goalkeeping trio of Robert Sanchez, Filip Jrgensen, and Mike Penders. Despite frequent speculation linking Chelsea with new goalkeepers in recent windows, the club have no plans to make changes between the posts. Chelsea have complete faith in their goalkeepers

He could rather easily wind up getting lost in the rotation shuffle, especially if sophomore swingman Pelle Larsson can make a big leap. For now, though, Miami is positioning Jaquez for a breakout by including him in its starting five for its first two preseason contests. It's a sensible approach given the Heat's lack of playmaking and desire to pick up the pace, but there aren't many arrows pointing toward an actual turnaround.

Jayson has been incredibly loyal to Duke since the day he committed, and this evolution represents the next step in how we connect The Brotherhood to the future of our players. Jayson is the ultimate professional. His ability to inspire, motivate, and guide our student-athletes is unmatched, and I could not be more excited to see the impact he will have on our team and our culture.

I've played in a few different places now and each one has brought different challenges for me, says Eaton-Collins, who also spent time in the US college system and had a short spell back in England with Leicester. Sporting in particular has been a big learning curve for me in terms of the technical side of the game because I'm surrounded by very smart, technical players every day and that's helped bring out a different side to my game.

There is potential for a loan move away. West Ham do need 18 or 20 players in their squad, and he is still young. He is a good player, and I'm sure he'll play in all the cup games, but I'm not sure right now if he's at the level that Diouf is. Nuno would like to send him out on loan; it'll be good for his career to play in the Championship. Hopefully, he'll do very well.

"I think what I would say is that we need to figure out ways to improve the team and that could take a number of shapes," Breslow said. "Every team gets better if you can bring in a starter or develop a starting pitcher that could pitch at Garrett Crochet's level, right? "There's no running from that and we'll be as aggressive as we can in chasing that down while also ensuring that we're doing everything we can to develop our players internally."

Ulrich Chomche. He has a unique name; he's a unique player and he's taken a unique path to the NBA, being both the youngest player selected in the 2024 NBA Draft at age 18 and the first player selected out of the Basketball Africa League. Even though he missed about one third of his first professional season with apartialMCL tear in his right knee, Chomche showed tantilizing flashes throughout his time with the Raptors 905 last season.

Paul Toboni speaks and acts like a modern president of baseball operations, with a first-day swagger and commitment to building a " scouting and player development monster." He said everything he should have said Wednesday morning, when he was introduced as just the third head of baseball in Washington Nationals history. Take him at his word, and it's easy to fall in line behind him and believe he'll update the front office and develop a thoughtful, organized, clear structure

The Minnesota Wild squeaked into the playoffs by clinching a Wild Card spot with one point to spare, but the team faced yet another first-round exit, leaving some unasnwered questions as we approach the 2025-26 season. Can the Wild's young players continue trending in the right direction? The greatest reason for optimism for the Wild is definitely its young squadron of skaters at all positions.

As the January transfer window draws closer, speculation around the futures of many young stars begins to increase, and Real Madrid's Arda Guler is no exception. The Turkish international has been the subject of admiration from several of Europe's elite clubs, eager to test Madrid's resolve. Yet, despite the noise, Real Madrid remain unwavering in their stance, Arda is not for sale.

Hearts roared to the top of the Premiership on Saturday with a dominant 3-0 win over Falkirk to maintain their unbeaten start to the season, a game where left-back Milne lined up on the right side of midfield. Head coach Derek McInnes spoke pre-match about his side's lack of options for that position, but said Milne had impressed when dropped into the new role in their recent 2-0 win over Rangers at Ibrox.

I was very inexperienced in both football and life, he tells FourFourTwo when quizzed about his arrival in north London. I feel that the UK made me an adult and a professional, experienced player. Most of my growth happened in London. I was really lucky that the years I spent there, I had great team-mates and coaches, and opportunities to play top-level football. That was probably the most important part of my development as a person and as a player.

"I'm honored to be back with the team and working with the coaching staff, management and players," Chara told reporters at Warrior Ice Arena on Friday. "It's definitely something new, something that I know I can bring a lot. But at the same time, I will be learning a lot, too."
