Tim 'The Dream' Ream shuts out Chelsea's new-look team with perfect block to deny a goal

LONDON — Chelsea's British record signing Enzo Fernandez got his first taste of Premier League football in a 0-0 draw against his new club's visiting neighbours Fulham in a lively but ultimately disappointing Friday night derby.

The World Cup-winning midfielder, who cost Chelsea's American owners nearly $128.98 million from Benfica, looked comfortable and showed touches of class, spraying pinpoint passes and timing his tackles well.

Liga MX: Los refuerzos que cerraron el mercado de pases del Clausura 2023

El mercado de pases del Clausura 2023 es historia y la verdad es que a la hora de las incorporaciones, la Liga MX, no logró volarle la cabeza a nadie.

Cruz Azul coqueteó con goleadores de renombre como Luis Suárez y Radamel Falcao, pero al final la ventana de transferencias solo dejó un par de bombitas en manos de Tigres, que sacó del Pachuca al goleador Nico Ibáñez y que repatrió a Diego Lainez desde el Real Betis.

¡Pff!

Pese a esto, hay que reconocer que las últimas horas del mercado de pases igualmente dejaron un par de movimientos más que interesantes.

¿Se va o no se va? ¿Qué pasó con el traspaso de Julián Araujo al Barcelona?

Julián Araujo dio el OK, LA Galaxy dio el OK y la MLS dio el OK. Sin embargo, el traspaso del lateral mexicoamericano al Barcelona es muy probable que quede en nada, luego de que los papeles del acuerdo llegaran a las oficinas correspondientes 18 segundos después del cierre del mercado de pases invernal.

Sí, 18 segundos.

Kazuyoshi Miura will continue his professional career in Portugal at the age of 55 after the former Japan striker joined second-tier Oliveirense on loan from Yokohama FC, the Portuguese club said on Wednesday.

¿Cuándo puede debutar Diego Lainez en Tigres?

La llegada de Diego Lainez a Tigres fue sin dudas uno de los traspasos más mediáticos de la Liga MX en el mercado invernal.

Luego de fracasar en el Real Betis y el SC Braga, el extremo mexicano decidió retornar al fútbol local con la intención de relanzar su carrera.

Se olvida de Tigres: Le champion du monde, Florian Thauvin, encontró nuevo club

Florian Thauvin llegó a Tigres en 2021 con el cartel de haber sido campeón del mundo con Francia en el Mundial de 2018 y con un salario de 5,8 millones de dólares por temporada, el más alto de la Liga MX.

Veinte meses después, sin embargo, Thauvin es historia.
