Nick Woltemade has been discussing his living arrangement since completing a transfer to Newcastle, with the German striker being joined on Tyneside by one of his best friends. Neither has an issue with their shared accommodation as they remain single and ready to embrace an exciting new challenge with Premier League giants in the north of England.
Newcastle's successor to Isak
After being heavily linked with Bayern Munich, as they look to find a long-term successor to Harry Kane in their No.9 berth, Woltemade made his way to Tyneside after being chosen by the Magpies as the man to fill the void created in their attack by Alexander Isak’s departure to Liverpool.

How much did Woltemade cost Newcastle?
A club-record £65 million ($89m) deal was pushed through late in the summer transfer window, with Woltemade severing ties with Stuttgart. He made an immediate impact on his Newcastle debut, with a match-winning goal being recorded against Wolves.
Woltemade drafts friends in alongside him
The 23-year-old frontman is already feeling settled in new surroundings, with familiar faces being drafted in alongside him to help aid that process. Woltemade told : “My friends are here with me, so I get a lot of support. One of them is even moving in with me permanently. We're very good friends and have always joked that if I ever move abroad, we'll go there together. Neither of us has a girlfriend, so we're pretty free in that regard.”

Feeling at home: Woltemade settling quickly
Newcastle have been doing their bit to ensure that Woltemade feels at home, with the Germany international adding on his discussions with Magpies boss Eddie Howe: “He makes me feel good; I have one-on-one conversations with him every day. They're mostly about topics that have nothing to do with football, like my move or how my family is doing. It's a great working culture here.”
Aaqib Javed will take over as interim coach for the two-match Test series against South Africa

Jason Gillespie and PCB: a relationship which has continually fractured over the past few months•AFP via Getty Images
Jason Gillespie has resigned as head coach of the Pakistan Test side, according to the PCB. This was officially confirmed after a few days of lingering uncertainty, culminating in Gillespie refusing to board his flight to join the Pakistan Test team in South Africa. Gillespie’s scheduled flight to South Africa was at 6AM Adelaide time on Friday, but he informed the PCB he had no intention of boarding it, deciding instead to walk away as relations between the coach and the board hit an all-time low. Aaqib Javed will take over as Test coach on an interim basis for the series in South Africa; he is currently the interim coach of both white-ball sides.ESPNcricinfo had first reported that Gillespie’s days as head coach of Pakistan were done last month, and that Aaqib would take over across formats. At the time, the PCB responded by refuting that story, insisting Gillespie would be coach for the two Tests against South Africa, while pointedly declining to commit to stating that he would see out his contract. However, the relationship between the board and the coach only went from bad to worse, and Gillespie would not take charge of another Test for Pakistan again.As ESPNcricinfo first reported, Gillespie was left particularly angered after the PCB decided against renewing high-performance red-ball coach Tim Nielsen’s contract, and had been left considering his options. Gillespie was offended he wasn’t consulted, or even told, before that decision was taken, and is understood to have left a lack of respect on part of the PCB. Nielsen told ESPNcricinfo he was happy to continue, and fully available for Pakistan’s Test series in South Africa and at home against the West Indies next month, but he was informed his services would no longer be required.Related

Ramiz on Kirsten's departure: 'Not going to be easy for Pakistan to hire international talent'
Aaqib Javed set to replace Gillespie as Pakistan head coach
Kirsten resigns as Pakistan's white-ball coach
This appears to have been the final straw for Gillespie. ESPNcricinfo understands he communicated his intention not to travel under present circumstances to the board. Whether the PCB have made contact with him to persuade him to travel is unclear; a source close to Gillespie said the PCB had made no contact with him over the past day.Either way, a relationship which has continually fractured over the past few months reached breaking point. Gillespie was hired by the PCB to great fanfare alongside Gary Kirsten in April, with chairman Mohsin Naqvi saying his “stellar track record” preceded him. But since October, the board has cooled on the Australian, initially removing him from the selection panel for the Test side. It left him believing he was merely a “matchday analyst” pointing out it wasn’t what he signed up for. He is believed to have had negligible input on the selection of the Test squad for the tour of South Africa, and was out of the loop for the decision not to extend Nielsen’s contract.There was limited communication between Gillespie and the board since the end of Pakistan’s white-ball series in Australia, where he coached the side on an interim basis after Kirsten quit. The PCB did initially ask Gillespie to take up that position until the Champions Trophy, but without an accompanying financial offer to reflect the increased scope of his role. It was another factor that led to relations between the board and the head coach being strained.Gillespie’s anger is understood to partly stem from what he felt was a great rapport Nielsen had developed with the players, a point he had made more than once in public. It is believed both Gillespie and Nielsen consider the fact that Nielsen is not based in Pakistan as the reason his contract hasn’t been extended, though, as Nielsen confirmed, he would have been available for the upcoming two tours in their entirety.While it is understood the PCB has not yet made a decision on any potential replacement for Nielsen, the current administration has sought to replace overseas coaches it appointed earlier in the year with Pakistan-based ones. Aaqib, who took over the white-ball teams on an interim basis next month, now becomes the all-format coach, and is also on the selection panel.Gillespie resigning potentially spares the PCB from paying out the entirety of the remainder of his contract, as they would have needed to if they had decided to sack him. It was believed to be a consideration in Gillespie’s initial reluctance to quit, even as it became clear the PCB no longer wanted him there.Pakistan play the first Test in Centurion on December 26, with the second in Cape Town starting on January 3.
Cricket Australia will consider avoiding Marvel Stadium until later in the summer in future BBL seasons, as Melbourne Renegades great Aaron Finch called for the club to weigh up abandoning the venue for Geelong.Finch was among those to be scathing of the venue on Tuesday when the Renegades’ Monday-night win over Perth Scorchers was overshadowed by a patchy-looking outfield. The pitch also proved difficult to bat on after the roof was closed for two days due to wet weather, with Scorchers struggling to score early.Related

Rogers, middle order help Renegades edge past Scorchers despite late hiccups
The issue came just two days after similar issues at Sydney’s Engie Stadium where large parts of dirt didn’t have any grass covering during the Sydney Smash.Both grounds are multi-purpose venues with Pearl Jam concerts having headlined a raft of events to have fallen between the AFL and BBL seasons. An annual RMIT university graduation was also held at Marvel Stadium last Wednesday, before Monday’s match.”Marvel was shocking last night. I was out on the ground and it was slippery,” former Renegades and Australia white-ball captain Aaron Finch said on ESPN’s . “There has to be questions, are Marvel Stadium serious about hosting cricket.”Because each and every year the first couple of games the same thing happens there. If they’re not interested in hosting cricket, take it somewhere else. Take it to Geelong, they’ll have it.”BBL boss Alistair Dobson also admitted on Tuesday he was “disappointed”, conceding the ground was “presented poorly”.”By and large they present good outfields and good wickets, particularly as we get further into the season,” Dobson said on SEN. “That [multi-purpose aspect] does come with some trade offs, but we don’t expect it to be the size of the trade off we saw last night.”Dobson said his organisation was open to not scheduling BBL games at Marvel Stadium until close to January in the future, if it would ensure a better surface. But in reality that would cause more issues with the MCG also offline in the lead up to and during the Boxing Day Test.”Last night would certainly give us cause to reflect on that and whether we schedule in a different way going forward,” Dobson said. “The trade off on that though is you end up with a lot of games of BBL in a short period. It’s a balance between the best possible preparation and spacing games out to give fans a chance to go.”The other concern for CA is the way the poor outfields showcase the BBL overseas, in a summer where crowds and TV ratings are up by 30 percent domestically.AAP has been told Finch’s proposed full-time Geelong move is unlikely, given officials believe Melbourne needs two teams to service it both on and off the field.Dobson also rejected any suggestion the Renegades should abandon Marvel Stadium and join Melbourne Stars at the MCG.”We have two clubs in Melbourne that have different identities and different fan bases and different history,” Dobson said. “The Melbourne Stars are iconic to the MCG and the Renegades are keen to have a point of difference on that.”
Tottenham Hotspur have now opened talks to sign an “incredible” forward, and Thomas Frank thinks he’s “ideal”, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed.
Tottenham set sights on new winger following Son exit
With Son Heung-min moving to LAFC, and James Maddison suffering an ACL injury, football finance expert Dan Plumley believes Tottenham could be in line to make two more additions to their attack this summer.
Plumley said: “They have signed Kudus, but he’s a bit more of an out-and-out winger, but I think they’ve probably now got to be looking at right, we’ve lost Son, that’s a big gap to fill.
“But also, we’re now without James Madison for the season, and that’s another gap to fill. I think they’ve got to go and spend in the market off the back of those two things.”

Jack Grealish had been named as a potential option for Spurs earlier in the transfer window, but widespread reports suggest the Manchester City winger is now closing in on a move to Everton.
With Eberechi Eze also edging closer to Arsenal, the Lilywhites have now set their sights on a different Premier League forward, according to Romano on X.
The transfer expert states that Tottenham have now opened talks over a deal for Man City winger Savinho, and there is a feeling the Brazilian would be “open to the move” if a transfer fee can be agreed.

The forward is regarded as “ideal” by Frank, but it could be difficult to get a deal over the line, given that City are eager to keep hold of him, having set a relatively high asking price.
"Incredible" Savinho could be ideal replacement for Son
Man City were far from their best in the Premier League last season, but the winger enjoyed an impressive debut campaign, recording ten assists, while also proving himself to be a very impressive dribbler of the ball.

Much like Son, the starlet has predominantly featured at left-wing throughout his career to date, indicating that he could be a like-for-like replacement for the South Korean, should the youngster be able to improve his goal tally.
The City forward scored just one Premier League goal last term, but he is still very young and has plenty of time to develop, and Pep Guardiola waxed lyrical about him last season.
Savinho could be a suitable replacement for Son, but it could be difficult to get a deal done, with City hesitant to sanction a sale.
Sheffield Wednesday have rejected “multi-million pound” offers from two big clubs this summer, according to reliable journalist Miguel Delaney.
Pedersen "very proud" after Sheffield Wednesday win
An extremely young and depleted Owls side beat Bolton Wanderers away on penalties in midweek, reaching the second round of the EFL Cup in the process. New manager Henrik Pedersen had nothing but praise for his Wednesday players after the victory, speaking of his pride at the result.
“I’m very, very proud. We had many academy boys in the team, many debutants too. Before the game we spoke and said yes, we have a very young team but also with some good senior players around. But the way they performed I am very proud of them.
“I think there are many things with this performance, we were much more aggressive in our pressing, we won more balls high up the pitch and we also had energy to play some transitions, especially in the first half.
“We kept coming back from the draw and didn’t stay in the situation, it was all about the next action, the next action and the boys showed each time Bolton scored, we went up quickly and made a new goal more or less every time.
“They stayed together, kept going and this belief and confidence I really liked to see the young guys do this. Another aspect for me was seeing how happy the senior players were. You could see they were all together.”
Wednesday find themselves in a hugely worrying situation currently, with the future of the club under threat because of financial woes, but despite this, a bid for a player has been rejected.
Sheffield Wednesday reject offers for "excellent" hero
According to Delaney on X, Sheffield Wednesday have turned down “multi-million pound” bids for goalkeeper Pierce Charles from both Rangers and West Ham, with “bafflement” from some at the decision:
“Sheffield Wednesday reject multi-million pound bids from West Ham and Rangers for Pierce Charles, leading to bafflement from some within the club given their financial situation.”
Pierce Charles.
Charles is a big player for Wednesday, so there is some sense in them wanting to keep him, but there will surely be some looking at the bigger picture and wondering if he should be moved on.
The the 20-year-old is among the Owls’ most prized assets currently, being hailed as “excellent” by Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill, which means they can earn millions for him, as Rangers and West Ham have shown.
Unless those at Wednesday are confident about the club’s financial issues suddenly easing, they should consider accepting the next bid that arrives for Charles.
It would be a huge shame to lose such a talented young player with a bright future in the game, but if his sale helps save the club, that clearly takes precedence.

Dani Ceballos reached out to Roberto De Zerbi to explain his decision to reject Marseille's offer as the midfielder opted to stay at Real Madrid. The French side approached the Spaniard late in the transfer window and even reached a deal with Madrid, with De Zerbi eager to make him a key player following Adrien Rabiot's exit.
Why Ceballos' move to Marseille never materialised
Madrid splashed lavishly in the transfer market, signing the likes of Alvaro Carreras, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen and Franco Mastantuono. New head coach Xabi Alonso reportedly demanded a midfielder, too, but the Spanish heavyweights didn't sign one. As the transfer window approached its end, speculation surrounding Ceballos' future started to intensify. After rumours of a return to Real Betis, all signs pointed towards Ceballos calling curtains on his Madrid career by writing "Last dance" on his Instagram story. This action was followed by Marseille ramping up their efforts to close a deal to sign the ex-Arsenal loanee. An agreement worth €15 million (£13m/$16m) had been finalised between Marseille and Madrid, but Ceballos' last-minute change of heart and hesitation to leave Madrid led to the deal collapsing.
AdvertisementAFPDe Zerbi receives apology from Ceballos
In the wake his decision to reject the offer, the 29-year-old personally called Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi over phone and asked for forgiveness, reports. The Italian coach had gone to great lengths to sign him and had convinced Ceballos that he would be central to his plans at Stade Velodrome. Nevertheless, the Spaniard opted to remain part of Alonso's team.
“The Dani Ceballos situation stays between us. He is a great player. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out and he missed out on playing for a special club," said De Zerbi on Monday.
Ceballos could still be crucial to Alonso and Madrid
With Alonso eventually confirming that Ceballos would remain a part of his roster for this season, expectations were that he would struggle to find regular playing time. Aurelien Tchouameni has already been described as the "pillar" of Madrid by Alonso, Fede Valverde remains a guaranteed starter and Arda Guler has become the team's chief orchestrator. It became increasingly difficult to see where Ceballos would fit in, but Alonso has given him reason to be optimistic.
Ceballos clockied 68 minutes as a starter against Real Sociedad at the weekend after making three appearances off the bench. Given how congested the calendar is, Ceballos will fancy his chances of carving out an important role in midfield as the season progresses.

Whether he keeps his place in the starting XI for Tuesday’s Champions League clash hinges on whether Valverde is fit enough to start. The Uruguayan was left out of the starting XI after personally requesting a rest from Alonso, citing fatigue from the international break. Ceballos put in a solid performance against Real Sociedad on Saturday and will likely be the obvious choice if Alonso decides to give Valverde another game off.

Newly-promoted Burnley have made an audacious approach to sign a Chelsea big-name this summer, with Enzo Maresca and BlueCo looking to trim their bloated squad before deadline day on September 1.
£80m Chelsea star tells agents to find him new club after becoming "unhappy"
He’s keen on leaving Stamford Bridge.
ByEmilio Galantini Jul 25, 2025
Their £87.5 million financial windfall from winning the Club World Cup, alongside their estimated £100 million raised through player sales already, has put Chelsea in very good stead when it comes to the PSR threshold – even with their £145m splash on Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens and Joao Pedro.
However, Chelsea do still have to sell, mainly because of their recent pact with UEFA.
“Last week they came to an agreement with UEFA that basically said that if they want to register new players for the Champions League next season, they have to make sure that their transfer spend this season is balanced out this summer by the players they sell as well,” said Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol earlier this month.
“So they’ve signed players like Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. That means they also have to sell players.”
Chelsea were fined around £26.7 million by UEFA for breaching their FFP laws, and they could be slapped with an additional £51.2 million penalty if they fail to comply again in the next four years.

That being said, the threat of a reduced Champions League squad list is even more pressing, especially as Chelsea try to upgrade further with potential deals for both Ajax defender Jorrel Hato and RB Leipzig playmaker Xavi Simons (BBC).
Christopher Nkunku, Raheem Sterling, Renato Veiga, Axel Disasi, Carney Chukwuemeka, Lesley Ugochukwu, Armando Broja, Tosin Adarabioyo, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Nicolas Jackson, João Félix, Trevoh Chalobah, Benoit Badiashile and Alfie Gilchrist have all been named as Chelsea players who could leave this summer and make room for new additions.
Chelsea will be particularly keen to offload left-back Ben Chilwell, who’s on around £200,000-per-week, and journalist Simon Phillips has an update on this.
Ben Chilwell set to leave Chelsea with Burnley approach made
The left-back once captained Chelsea but has suffered from crippling injury problems in the last few seasons, with BlueCo looking to part company.
Chilwell was never in Maresca’s plans right from the off, and was omitted from the squad last summer with Raheem Sterling, later joining Crystal Palace on loan for the second half of 2024/2025, where he impressed in flashes.
Now, Phillips reports that Burnley have made an enquiry about signing Chilwell from Chelsea, but Scott Parker’s side may only want a loan as things stand.
“Ben Chilwell will leave Chelsea this summer after spending last season on loan with Crystal Palace, which is considered a successful spell for the former England left back who was signed for Chelsea by Frank Lampard,” wrote Phillips.
“Chelsea want to sell him permanently, but most recent enquiries that have come in lately have been for a loan move only.
“SPTC sources have heard Burnley have made an enquiry to Chelsea for Chilwell to understand any conditions of a deal to sign Chilwell this summer.
“We are unclear what kind of deal Burnley would offer, but sources expect it to be some sort of loan deal. The ball will then be in Chelsea and Chilwell’s court in terms of what deal they will accept.”
Tottenham Hotspur’s business in the transfer market over the last couple of years has been seriously impressive, helping the club end the 17-year wait for any form of silverware.
Attention has been turned to investing in younger talents, buying them at bargain prices and allowing them to develop and improve to reach their full potential in North London.
The likes of Pape Sarr and Lucas Bergvall are just two examples, with the pair featuring in a combined tally of 100 outings between them despite their tender ages.
Both have shown the rewards their current recruitment focus could yield if done correctly, with Thomas Frank needing to continue such a trend ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
However, they’ve also spent big in the past, as seen by Mohammed Kudus’ £55m transfer from West Ham United this window, with other big-money additions also being lined up.
The latest on Spurs’ hunt for Morgan Gibbs-White
Two weeks ago, Spurs triggered the £60m release clause in Morgan Gibbs-White’s contract at Nottingham Forest, with a deal expected to progress after such a move.
However, that switch swiftly ground to a halt after Reds owner Evangelos Marinakis raised an issue with the transfer, claiming that the Lilywhites made an illegal approach for his signature.
Morgan Gibbs-White 2024-25 stats (timeless)
No one even knew that the England international had an option in his current deal, entering talks with the player and his agent without the approval of his current employers.
It had subsequently been reported that the 25-year-old remained keen on a move to North London this summer, although the latest developments appear to suggest otherwise.
Having travelled with the Forest squad on their pre-season tour of Portugal, the former Wolverhampton Wanderers man has since quashed any speculation after penning a new deal with the Tricky Trees.
The playmaker has committed his future to City Ground until 2028, with journalist Fabrizio Romano outlining that a move to Spurs is now “off”.
The Spurs player who’s already worth more than Gibbs-White
With Gibbs-White undoubtedly one of the hierarchy’s main targets this summer, other options will likely be drawn up as a result of his decision to stay put in Nottingham.
Morgan Gibbs-White for Nottingham Forest.
However, trust should be placed in the recruitment team to make the right call, something which they’ve done as seen by their recent success rate in the market.
As previously mentioned, with the likes of Bergvall and Sarr, the club have got it right in previous times, just like they have with winger Brennan Johnson, who’s excelled at the club in recent months.
The Welsh international arrived in a £47.5m deal from Forest back in the summer of 2023, with such a price tag appearing a huge chunk given he’d only had one prior year of top-flight experience.
However, a couple of years on from his transfer, it appears to be a shrewd piece of business, racking up a total of 23 goals within his 85 appearances for the club.
18 of which came in the most recent campaign, subsequently proving all of his doubters wrong after he was forced to deactivate his social media accounts following abuse from supporters for his lack of impact.
The 24-year-old is also responsible for one of the biggest moments in the club’s recent history, scoring the winner in the Europa League final – topping off a dream campaign for the youngster.
As a result of his rise in the last few months, Johnson, who’s been labelled “unbelievable” by international teammate Aaron Ramsey, is now valued at a staggering €75m (£66m) by CIES Football Observatory.
His subsequent value is higher than that of Gibbs-White, who’s deemed to be worth £60m due to his release clause, showcasing the phenomenal rise he’s endured during his time at the Lilywhites.
