TRENDING RUMORS

– Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are looking at West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen, according to Football Insider. The 28-year-old is reportedly receiving attention from both Premier League sides, but the Hammers would only be prepared to consider letting him go if they receive an “irresistible” offer. Bowen’s future at the London Stadium remains secured until the summer of 2030 after the England international signed a seven-year extension in 2023.

– Manchester City still hold interest in Real Madrid winger Rodrygo. Fabrizio Romano says that the 24-year-old Brazil international is appreciated by City manager Pep Guardiola, but any move is more likely to take place in the summer and would cost around €80 million. Despite reports of interest emerging from Chelsea, it is reported that the Blues aren’t currently exploring a move for Rodrygo, though his future at the Bernabéu remains uncertain due to a difficult competition for minutes, with just two starts in LaLiga so far this season.

– An approach for Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton is being lined up by Chelsea, reports TEAMtalk. The Blues are reported to have placed the 21-year-old at the top of their shortlist and believe he has the potential to be a future cornerstone for the club, but they are unlikely to make a move in January due to the expected transfer fee of over £100 million. Como midfielder Nico Paz, 21, has been identified as an alternative to Wharton, who has also been linked with Manchester United, though they are very different types of players.

– Barcelona are interested in Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane, according to The Guardian. The LaLiga club have reportedly made the 32-year-old their No. 1 priority amid their search to find the ideal successor to 37-year-old Robert Lewandowski, who is set to be out of contract in June. Kane’s impressive form has seen him score 23 goals in 16 matches across all competitions this season, and a clause in his contract allows him to be signed for a fee of around €65 million in the summer.

– A battle between Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Chelsea is expected to take place for the signing of Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz, per Gazzetta dello Sport. It is reported that contract talks have stalled after a recent meeting, with the 20-year-old looking for an offer worth in the region of €6 million-per-season. The Bianconeri have now paused talks with Yildiz’s representatives, but they will demand a transfer fee in excess of €100 million if they are unable to sign him to an extension as several clubs are monitoring the situation.

“We met with numerous doctors and specialists around the country in collaboration with the entire Clippers medical staff over the last few days, and came to the decision unanimously that the surgery will allow Brad to have a full and complete recovery,” Mark Bartelstein of PrioritySports told ESPN.

Beal joined the Clippers on a two-year, $11 million contract in the offseason after two seasons with the Phoenix Suns and 11 years with the Washington Wizards. He was expected to add some extra depth to the roster with James Harden and Kawhi Leonard.

Less than 18 months into her tenure, athletic director Anne McCoy was fired by Washington State on Wednesday.

McCoy, who has worked at Washington State since 2001, served in the AD role on an interim basis until she was promoted in spring 2024 by former president Kirk Schulz, who retired earlier this year and was replaced by Elizabeth Cantwell.

“Anne has provided steady leadership through one of the most complex and pivotal periods in the history of Cougar Athletics,” Cantwell said in a statement. “She built a strong foundation for the program’s future grounded in integrity, academic success, and care for our student-athletes. We are deeply grateful for Anne’s decades of service and her unwavering commitment to Washington State University.”

Jon Haarlow, the chief operating officer for WSU athletics, has been named interim AD until a replacement for McCoy is found.

The reason for McCoy dismissal wasn’t immediately clear, but the move was not for cause, sources told ESPN.

McCoy helped guide WSU through a turbulent period as the school weathered the collapse of the Pac-12 and its rebuild ahead of the 2026 season. She was responsible for hiring football coach Jimmy Rogers, who is in his first season, and men’s basketball coach David Riley, who has just started his second season.
