Highest paid players in the world
Although Bundesliga players, specifically Bayern stars, earn impressive sums of money, they fail to make it onto the list of the top five highest-paid players in the world.
The list is completely dominated by Saudi Pro League players, with arguably one of the greatest forwards to play the game, Cristiano Ronaldo, sitting at the top.
Meanwhile, his former Real Madrid team-mate Karim Benzema follows him in second place.
Moving on, Riyad Mahrez comes in at number three, followed by Senegalese internationals Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly.

WHAT HAPPENED?
Per The Sun, Vardy is being eyed by MLS clubs ahead of the summer transfer window. Leicester were relegated at the weekend after their defeat to Liverpool, and the 38-year-old is now awaiting clarity from the club over his future. It is unclear if the Foxes will look to move him on; the veteran has a contract until the summer but he is undecided over whether he wants to remain at the King Power Stadium.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Vardy has still contributed effectively this season, scoring seven Premier League goals. He has plenty of experience of the Championship but the veteran may decide to head stateside as he looks to bring the curtain down on a glittering career.
DID YOU KNOW?
Leicester still have five games of the season to play and it appears the striker will discuss his future then. It is unclear which MLS teams are interested in signing the striker, but there is said to be a willingness from both the forward and his wife, Rebekah, to head to America.

A potential exchange deal could be on the cards for Arsenal as we move towards the January transfer window, with manager Mikel Arteta and co reportedly weighing up the possibility of signing another winger.
Arsenal without Bukayo Saka until March after injury update
As recently confirmed by Arteta, star forward Bukayo Saka is set to be out for more than two months, meaning he won’t return till around at least March in what is a real blow to the Gunners’ Premier League title hopes.

In some better news for Arteta, Raheem Sterling’s knee injury isn’t as bad as first thought, but there is still no official timeline for the Englishman’s return, with Arsenal deploying Gabriel Martinelli on the right against Ipswich Town on Friday.
“The news with Raz, I think it’s better,” said Arteta on Sterling’s condition compared to Saka.

“We have to see this week how he evolves. But we expected the knee injury to probably take longer than actually the way the knee is evolving in the last few days. So, hopefully that’s good because we need him.”
In the meantime, Arsenal continue to monitor potential new wide options for January, as Saka’s presence will be very hard to replace – even if the likes of Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz can play in the Englishman’s position.
The likes of Barcelona’s Dani Olmo, PSG outcast Randal Kolo Muani and Bayern Munich forward Kingsley Coman have all stood out as wingers linked with January moves to Arsenal in the last week, with new potential transfer targets emerging on almost a daily basis.
Now, a report by MilanLive has mentioned Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze as an option.
Arsenal could offer Jakub Kiwior in swap deal for Samuel Chukweuze
The Italian news outlet claims that Chukwueze is of serious interest to Arsenal, and he would command a price tag of around £17 million if the Gunners wish to strike an outright permanent deal.
However, there is also an opportunity to sweeten the move by offering defender Jakub Kiwior in a potential swap deal.
The Poland international did a solid job filling in for Gabriel Magalhaes when the Brazilian was out injured, but he’s since been relegated back to the bench for Arsenal’s last three Premier League games.
MilanLive claims the Rossoneri are big fans of Kiwior, and that we should watch out for a “possible cross-deal” involving the 24-year-old and Chukwueze.

“He’s positive, he believes in what he does. He understands what the team has to do on the pitch. He’s a quality player,” said former Milan boss Stefano Pioli on the Nigerian attacker.
“I’m very happy for him because he’s been through a difficult time. From the outside looking in, everything seems rosy but the boys are experiencing significant pressure. He believed in it and worked hard, which pleases me, the club and the team.”
Kiwior has been called a “sensational talent” during his time at Arsenal, often doing his job when required, but it is hardly a secret that he’ll struggle for minutes ahead of the likes of Riccardo Calafiori, William Saliba and Gabriel.

Tuchel used to work a bar job before coachingRangnick decided to save Tuchel's careerUrged the new England boss to return to footballFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
Former Manchester United boss Rangnick has always been a very respected coach in the German footballing scene who is often looked up to by younger managers. One of those managers was Tuchel, who played under the Austrian at SSV Ulm, where the German retired at the age of just 25.
AdvertisementAFPTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Tuchel feared that his time with the sport of football was over after his retirement as he took up work behind a bar. However, Rangnick, who noticed Tuchel's suitability for management during his time at Ulm, decided to urge the German to get back into the sport as a coach.
Getty ImagesWHAT RANGNICK SAID
Speaking to BBC Sports, Rangnick said: "We got to know each other back in 1998 when I became head coach of Ulm in the third division. At the time, I think Thomas was 25. Unfortunately, he had problems with his knee. What was obvious was that he was a very bright, intelligent kind of person for a football player.
"Being smart, bright, asking questions, always trying to get better, to improve. When you become a head coach, you can pretty precisely tell which player could become a coach. So when I found out he was working in a bar in Stuttgart, I called him and said to him 'What are you doing?', and he said, 'I have to earn my living there'.
"I said to him, 'Thomas, please, why don't you come to us to Stuttgart and work as a youth team coach?' We brought him together with the academy director at the time and that's how his coaching career started. For me, it was clear that he could become a very good coach. To foresee that he would become one of the best coaches we ever had, at that time, was difficult."
WHAT NEXT FOR TUCHEL?
The former Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss has been doing well as a coach and was signed as England's boss. He is now set to undertake his first match as Three Lions boss later tonight against Albania.
Walter, Critchley stage belligerent rearguard following on to frustrate Northamptonshire
ECB Reporters Network30-Apr-2022Paul Walter and Matt Critchley staged a belligerent rearguard action to frustrate Northamptonshire’s hopes of claiming a morale-boosting victory at Chelmsford.The fourth-wicket pair came together at 58 for 3 shortly before tea and were still there at stumps having put on 91 valuable runs as Essex fought to save the LV= Insurance County Championship match.Essex, eventually dismissed in their first innings for 193, with Ben Sanderson finishing with 4 for 32, were asked to follow-on by Northamptonshire. By the close on day three they were 149 for 3, requiring another 48 to make the visitors bat again. Walter was 40 not out, Critchley 44.That Essex are still in the game was largely down to Shane Snater, who almost single-handedly ensured the calamitous batting of the previous evening – when they were reduced to 83 for 8 – did not become even worse. However, his career-best unbeaten 79 could not prevent Essex going straight back in again, 197 runs in arrears.Snater dominated stands of 69 for the ninth wicket with Mark Steketee and 41 for the last with Sam Cook. More importantly for Essex, in their attempt to avoid back-to-back Championship defeats, his stoic resolution took a session out of the equation.The Zimbabwean-born Dutch international shone with a series of hooks, pulls and drives that were as effortless as they were exquisite. He accounted for the majority of the 98 runs scored for the loss of the last two wickets in an entertaining morning session.When Snater dabbed down to the vacant third-man boundary for the ninth of his ten fours, it carried him not only from 47 to 51 but to both his highest score for Essex (previously 48) and his highest in first-class cricket (50 not out for the Netherlands).Northamptonshire’s tactics seemed a little awry on a pitch that returned to its earlier placid state, and it was 70 minutes before front-line bowler Gareth Berg was finally introduced. To underline what his absence might have missed, with his fourth ball he had Steketee playing all around a full-pitched delivery and losing his off-stump.Still, Snater motored on regardless, capping his 94-ball knock with a towering straight six off Rob Keogh. His fun was curtailed, though, when Cook pushed forward to the off-spinner on the dot of lunch and was snaffled at slip.Without a moment’s hesitation Essex were asked to bat again. They were breifly in trouble losing three wickets in 14 overs. Sir Alastair Cook went for 19, caught at first slip off Tom Taylor, who had just been hit for three back-foot, off-side boundaries in an over by the former England captain.Tom Westley was next to go, pinned in a muddle of indecisiveness on his crease by Luke Procter, before Nick Browne wafted at Keogh and became the latest victim to a slip catch.Browne’s wicket went down in the midst of a sequence of 38 dot balls as Essex bustled along at a rate of barely two an over. There was another spell of five successive maidens that epitomised the Essex approach as Walter and Critchley effectively shut up shop after tea.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are looking to extend the contract of an “incredible” £60,000-a-week star, according to a new report.
The Midlands side’s four-game unbeaten run came to a crashing end over the weekend, as a 4-2 defeat to AFC Bournemouth means they remain in the bottom three. It has been a struggle for Gary O’Neil so far, but the hope will be he can get to January in a fairly good position and then can strengthen the team.

ByKelan Sarson Dec 3, 2024 Wolves transfer news
The January transfer window provides teams like Wolves the opportunity to make changes to their squad as they look to have a much better second half of the season and avoid relegation to the Championship.
Central defence has been a concern for O’Neil all season, as they didn’t find a suitable replacement for Max Kilman and have since had several injury concerns in that area of the team. So, signing a centre-back will be at the top of the agenda for the New Year, and a recent report has stated that Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Nico Elvedi is of interest to Wolves.
Wolves transfer target Nico Elvedi
As well as looking at a defender, Wolves are also interested in signing Diego Lopez from Spanish side Valencia. The La Liga side have struggled this season, and given their financial woes, they could have to sell key players like Lopez. The winger is currently worth £29 million, but that could increase if he continues to impress for Valencia.
But as well as looking at possible targets for January, Wolves are also keen on retaining a key player and are looking at offering him a new contract, as transfer interest continues to grow.
Wolves desperate to extend “incredible” Matheus Cunha’s contract
According to Football Insider, Wolves are looking to extend the contract of Matheus Cunha, as he continues his excellent start to the campaign. The 25-year-old originally joined the Premier League side on loan in January 2023 from Atlético Madrid.
Matheus Cunha
Cunha, who has been labelled “incredible” by O’Neil this season, has made a very impressive start to this season, despite Wolves’ struggles. The Brazilian has scored seven goals, two of which came last week against Fulham, and recorded three assists in 13 league games.
The forward still has over two years left to run on his contract at Molineux, but Wolves are keen to extend that further. The Premier League side are looking to fend off transfer interest in Cunha, as teams from England and abroad are interested in a possible deal. Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with moves most recently.

The 2022 Ranji Trophy will be held over two phases, between February 10 and June 26, in nine venues across India.The first phase of the tournament – the league stage – will feature 38 teams and 57 matches, between February 10 and March 15. The knockouts will be held after the conclusion of IPL 2022, and will have seven matches between May 30 and June 26.In a letter sent to members of the board, BCCI secretary Jay Shah explained that the revised schedule was made to “mitigate any cross-transmission risk while also ensuring bio-secure bubbles are not overburdened.”Related

Overall, the tournament will have 64 matches played in 62 days, with teams divided into nine groups – Eight Elite and one Plate. The Elite group will consist of four teams, and the Plate Group will have six teams. During the league phase, each team will play three matches; Elite teams will face all the other sides in their group, while the Plate teams will play only against three sides from theirs.The BCCI also said that the top seven teams amongst the eight Elite Group toppers would qualify directly for the quarter-finals, while the lowest ranked team would play a pre-quarterfinal match against the Plate Group topper.A BCCI official told ESPNcricinfo that the ranking order of the eight Elite Group toppers is likely to be decided based on points, followed by outright wins, followed by the quotient. It is likely that the quotient could be the determining factor in figuring out which team plays the pre-quarterfinal, since with only three games to be played, several teams could be tied on points and wins. The quotient is determined by dividing the team’s batting average by their bowling average. A higher number is better.*The pre-quarterfinal will be played during the league phase, which will end before the start of the IPL on March 27.The Elite Group matches will be held across Rajkot, Cuttack, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Trivandrum, Delhi, Haryana and Guwahati, while all the Plate matches will take place in Kolkata.The Ranji Trophy was originally scheduled to start on January 13, but had to be postponed indefinitely because of rising Covid-19 cases in India. When making the decision to hold the Ranji Trophy, Shah said that recovery rates from the third wave of the pandemic were encouraging, but the BCCI would continue to have bio-secure bubbles for the tournament to mitigate any risks.”Ever since the decision on postponement was made, the board was working on several models to ensure that the tournament takes place as soon as the environment is safe and conducive,” Shah had written in a letter to state associations. “We will continue to have bio-secure bubbles to mitigate any potential risk. The board is committed to providing a healthy and secure environment and seeks your support in ensuring a safe tournament for all our key stakeholders.”Last season, the pandemic played spoilsport as the BCCI only held the two men’s white-ball tournaments – the Vijay Hazare Trophy and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. As a result, the BCCI paid 50% of the earlier match fees as compensation to all first-class cricketers who had endured financial losses.*This copy was amended to include the ranking criteria for the Elite Group teams at 4.00pm GMT.
Still over a week until Arsenal can hurl themselves back toward the ascendency in the Premier League. The international break has taken centre stage, and the best that fans across the world can do is watch various Gunners perform for their countries.
Not all within Mikel Arteta’s squad have jetted off to compete for their nations for the third of such pauses since the season began three months ago – almost to the day.
In fact, some pretty salient names have been kept back.
Why Arsenal stars have stayed in north London
There’s been a degree of frustration within the Three Lions camp concerning the spate of absences in the build-up to the November international break. Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice are among those to have opted against the call-up, citing injuries.
Elsewhere, Martin Odegaard made his anticipated comeback last time out and proved crucial in the draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, arcing the delivery for Gabriel Martinelli’s opener.
However, after such a long layoff, the skipper’s decision to stay in north London, instead of linking up with the Norwegian national team, was one of great prudence.
Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard
As the dynamic midfielder recuperates, another Arsenal star has found an opportunity to step up this week and put in a top showing ahead of the next round of gruelling domestic action.
Indeed, Mikel Merino ran the show for Spain.
Mikel Merino's stats for Spain
Arteta was bound to have taken note of Merino’s display against Denmark on Friday evening. Arteta, after all, is Spanish, and his compatriot is starting to grow into his skin after an injury-affected start to life in the English capital.
Mikel Merino in action for Spain
Merino joined the north Londoners from Real Sociedad this summer in a deal worth £32m but found himself languishing in the infirmary until October, having picked up a shoulder injury before he could make his competitive debut.
The 28-year-old has since completed nine appearances and scored during the draw against Liverpool. His combative and silky style brings much to Arteta’s squad, and he showcased such qualities superbly on the international stage this weekend.

Not only was Merino one of the steeliest figures on the field, winning a whopping nine ground duels and making three tackles, but he also completed four of five attempted dribbles, highlighting a mobile edge that, when enforced under Arteta’s wing, keeps things fluid for Arsenal.
Spain defeated Denmark to extend their lead in League A Group 4 of the Nations League, of which they are the holders, and Merino’s performance was crucial – especially as he was performing in another man’s boots, so to speak.
Indeed, Barcelona superstar Pedri was left on the bench for this one and introduced for Merino with ten minutes left to play. It was a big show of faith from Luis de la Fuente, whose team needed to avoid defeat against the Danes to secure top spot and confirm a place in the title play-offs.
Pedri, 21, has been hailed as “one of Europe’s best young players” by journalist Sam Dean, and despite suffering adversity throughout his fledgling career, the £67m-rated talent is one of the most promising players on the globe.
His technical prowess wasn’t preferred to Merino’s dynamic command of the central circle, however, and Arsenal must rejoice at the quality of midfielder they have brought in this season.
A long season stretches ahead, and duel-winning stars like Merino could make all the difference when the business end draws near.
