NFL free agency 2026 LIVE: Latest signings, trades, free agents and news ahead of 2026 season

How much pressure is Rosenior under?

Your Site News' Kaveh Solhekol on the Premier League Show:

"Liam Rosenior is under serious pressure. The minimum requirement for him now is to win the FA Cup and to qualify for the Europa League. I don't think they're going to qualify for the Champions League.

"If they don't qualify for the Champions League, it will be three years in four where they haven't qualified for it under the new owners. A club the size of Chelsea, considering the money they've spent, have to be there.

"The Chelsea hierarchy are not going to give a running commentary on Liam Rosenior's future but my personal opinion is if they don't finish in the Champions League places and they don't win the FA Cup - which is difficult as they'd need to beat Man City - he would be under serious pressure.

"Chelsea will say in private, if asked, we fully back the manager even if he doesn't qualify for the Champions League, he will still keep his job. But if you're on this kind of run, and it carries on, then you're probably going to lose you're job."

Slot expected to continue at Liverpool next season

Arne Slot is expected to continue as Liverpool head coach next season, Your Site News understands, as the club close in on Champions League qualification. 

Any doubts about the Dutchman's future appear to be subsiding rapidly as a seven-point gap has opened up between Liverpool in fifth place and Chelsea in sixth. 

Fifth place will secure Champions League football next season after Arsenal's progression to the semi-finals - and Liverpool's form has picked up while Chelsea are slipping.

Jamie Carragher said on Monday Night Football that the "noises I am hearing is Slot will be the Liverpool manager next season if they can secure Champions League qualification, which they look like doing right now."

Your Site News also understands that is the case after a season of increasing speculation over Slot's future, as a transitional season at Anfield has borne frustrations on and off the pitch.

Slot is set to retain the support of the hierarchy ahead of a summer in which more work is expected to be done to the squad following the announcement Mo Salah will be leaving. 

Your Site News understands RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande is among their top targets for a new forward while several other positions are also being looked at.

Arsenal teenage star signs pre-contract agreement

Teenage defender Marli Salmon has signed a pre-contract agreement with Arsenal. 

The agreement will see him sign a first professional contract with the club when he turns 17. Salmon has made four first-team appearances since his debut in December's Champions League tie against Club Brugge. 

Salmon made his first start in last month's FA Cup fifth-round win at Mansfield and Arsenal have announced he will sign a professional contract with the club when he turns 17 on August 29.

"It's a very big moment for me, for my family as well," said the defender, who saw fellow 16-year-old star Max Dowman sign a pre-contract deal in January.

"I'm very proud. I've been at the academy since I was nine and I just want to give everything to the club. I'm an Arsenal supporter and I've had some great memories so far.

"I'm so proud to have made my debut this season, I just want to keep pushing on still, keep my levels high and try to get as much experience as I can in the first team."

Guardiola coy on John Stones' future

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has remained coy on the future of both John Stones and Vitor Reis

England international Stones is back in training ahead of the all-important title race run-in, but is out of contract in the summer. 

Meanwhile, Brazilian Reis has been out on loan at Girona this season and has made it public that he would like to return to City to fight for his place next season.

"The only thing I can say is that he's [Stones] back for already two or three weeks," said Guardiola.

"On Monday he's training with us. And this is the best news."

On Vitor Reis:

"From my info in Girona, it was unbelievable. He's played. The reason why he went there was because of his age and maybe there were not so many chances to play here. 

"He grew up as a player. People in Girona are so pleased, happy. The decision is going to happen. We are going to take it at the end of the season."

Blackstenius signs new Arsenal contract

Arsenal forward Stina Blackstenius has agreed a deal to extend her stay at the north London club. 

The Sweden international joined Arsenal from BK Hacken in 2022. 

Since joining the club, the 30-year-old has scored 64 goals in 152 appearances for Arsenal. 

Blackstenius has won all four of the finals shes contested as an Arsenal player, and counts two League Cup titles and a FIFA Champions Cup winners medal among her club accolades, alongside that Champions League win.

Stina also found the net in each of those League Cup wins and finished as our top scorer in each campaign.

Bournemouth appoint Rose as Iraola successor

Your Site' Mark McAdam looks at why Bournemouth have appointed Marco Rose as Andoni Iraola's successor.

Smart appointment? Why Rose is ideal replacement for Iraola

Marco Rose comes with pedigree from the Bundesliga but most importantly, brings an aggressive brand of football that not only fits Bournemouth but made Andoni Iraola an admirer long ago, explains Your Site' Adam Bate. 

An example of a smart appointment

Bournemouth appoint Rose as Iraola successor

Bournemouth have appointed Marco Rose as Andoni Iraola's successor.

Rose will officially take charge in the summer on a three-year contract, but the deal has been made to allow both the new boss and club to plan for next season after Iraola confirmed he would be leaving the club.

'Man Utd keeping close eye on Real Madrid's Tchouameni'

Manchester United are keeping close tabs on Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, according to the Telegraph.

The report suggests the 26-year-old is among the midfield options being considered alongside the likes of Elliot Anderson, as interest in Newcastle United's Sandro Tonali recedes. 

Tchouameni had been linked to a move to Old Trafford before he moved to Real in 2022. 

The France international reportedly has two years left on his current deal at the Bernabeu.
