Chelsea Seal Record £71.6m Kepa Deal

Chelsea have broken the world record transfer fee for a goalkeeper by signing Kepa Arrizabalaga from Athletic Bilbao for £71.6m on a seven-year deal.
The 23-year-old arrives on the eve of Thibaut Courtois' departure from Stamford Bridge, with the Belgian set to be unveiled at Real Madrid on Thursday after he undergoes a medical.
Having activated Kepa's release clause earlier on Wednesday, Chelsea's £71.6m deal surpasses the £67m Liverpool spent to bring Alisson Becker to Anfield earlier this summer.
Kepa will train with his new team-mates for the first time on Thursday, and will be available for their Premier League opener against Huddersfield on Saturday.

Ian Wright worries for England after Three Lions went ‘into their shell’ when Nigeria changed formation

Image
      Harry Kane and Gary Cahill scored England’s goals.          Ian Wright admitted England’s performance against Nigeria was ‘worrying’ despite the fact the Three Lions came away with a win.                       England beat Nigeria 2-1 at Wembley in preparation for the World Cup and were two goals to the good at half-time. But a change in formation caused confusion among the England players as Nigeria opted to match their opponents man for man.         Nigeria scored early in the second half in part thanks to England dropping back, and Wright said that was a ‘worrying’ sign heading into the finals in Russia.         What was really worrying was when they changed their shape and we went into our shell a little bit.
