Just as deadline day was about to slam shut, Leeds United surprised many by signing winger, Wilfried Gnonto. Anyone familiar with the 18-year-old Italian however, will be aware of the brilliant business done by Jesse Marsch to bring him to England for as little as he did.
✍️ #LUFC is pleased to confirm the signing of Italian international Wilfried Gnonto from FC Zurich
Managers shaking hands has been a hot topic in the Premier League this week after Chelsea’s Thomas Tuchel and Tottenham’s Antonio Conte got into a heated cat fight on Sunday. One week later, a potential Jesse Marsch Tuchel handshake is making headlines after a quote from the American manager.
Una nueva estrella adorna se suma al firmamento del LA Galxy. El ex Barcelona Riqui Puig fue presentado oficialmente por el club y en su primera conferencia de prensa plantó un jardín de elogios dedicado a Chicharito Hernández.

Following Manchester United’s dismal opening-day defeat at home to Brighton, United’s fans have made their frustration and anger known online. For quite some time the fanbase has been upset with the club's ownership, but a recent movement on Twitter is hoping to use social media to send a public message.

During Chelsea's USA Tour, Complex invited Christian Pulisic and Ben Chilwell over to their popular show "GOAT Talk" where they ask celebrities to crown their all-time greats, whether that's food, music, vacation spot, cars, etc.
Because they are athletes, it was expected for the show to deliver questions that would be interesting to see.
The first question, though, followed with some almost heart-wrenching comments from Chilwell – saying he has no clue who Landon Donovan or Clint Dempsey are.
And so it begins. On Sunday, Erling Haaland made his Premier League debut for Manchester City and scored two goals during his 78 minutes on the pitch.
History says this is largely what we should expect from the 22-year-old. With Borussia Dortmund, Haaland averaged a goal every 86 minutes (62 in 5,388) while his career average in the Champions League is one every 77 (19 goals in 1,463 minutes).
Guardiola said it best after the match: "He was born to score goals."
Mauricio Pochettino has delivered his first public comments since being fired by Paris Saint-Germain on July 5 and immediately replaced with Christophe Galtier. The 50-year-old Argentine came out firing, questioning the point of a project that can't even generate enthusiasm around a league title or follow any sort of longterm sporting plan.
Summer vacation is over. If you've been avoiding the heat by staying inside and relaxing on the couch in front of the TV with a selection of your favorite processed foods, the idea of whipping yourself into shape for the fall can certainly feel daunting.
But whatever your soccer goals, fitness ambitions or workout plans are, your best intentions can be sabotaged by failing to recognize the importance of nutrition, hydration and recovery in your daily training regimen.
