Kylian Mbappe says he is "very happy" with his performances for Real Madrid and that he is not phased by the criticism that comes his way.

Mbappe joins Real Madrid from PSGHad solid if unspectacular start so far"Very happy" with Los Blancos displaysWHAT HAPPENED?

Following the 25-year-old's switch from Paris Saint-Germain to Madrid earlier this summer, the forward has scored three goals in five games. Despite scoring in their UEFA Super Cup win over Atalanta, some have been somewhat underwhelmed by his start for Los Blancos. However, the France international has shrugged off any criticism, saying he "can't please everyone" and is "very happy" with his displays so far.

AdvertisementWHAT KYLIAN MBAPPE SAID

He said: "I don’t know what the critics think, I don’t notice it anymore, I come, I play, what people think is the least of my worries. We can’t please everyone. My time at Real Madrid is going very well and I’m very happy. We’ve already won a trophy. It’s getting better and better. Everything’s going well."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

While Mbappe has not been as prolific as he was for PSG to date, the Frenchman is playing as a number nine – rather than in his favoured left forward role. He has only played a handful of games and a player of his pedigree is likely to bag a hatful of goals this season – especially with the players around him at Madrid.

• WHAT HAPPENED?

  Orlando Pride General Manager and Vice President of Soccer Operations Haley Carter has filed a grievance with FIFA against the Football Association of Zambia on behalf of new signing and midfielder Grace Chanda, according to reports.

  The NWSL is filing the grievance due to "failure to provide a reasonable standard of care for player health and safety," according to African media outlet Bolanews.

  Chanda signed with Orlando on May 30 and was set to make her first appearance with the club following the Olympics. With the 27-year-old suffering a ruptured quadriceps tendon against the U.S. in Zambia's opening match, she is out for the season.

  Chanda's injury robs the first-place Pride of an addition they were counting to build upon an impressive season. Chanda has scored 19 goals in 31 appearances with the national team.

  "[Chanda was asked] to continue training and play in the opening match post-injury," Carter posted on X.

  Carter also added the following via a statement earlier this month to ESPN: "We are incredibly disappointed for Grace at this injury and how it occurred….Fortunately, she is under the best possible care with our medical and performance teams here at the club and through Orlando Health. While her debut in purple will be later than planned, it's imperative we prioritize her health and welfare through a safe and responsible return to the pitch."

After a faltering start against India and Sri Lanka, a honest meeting reminded Australia of how they wanted to play

Daniel Brettig23-Mar-2020″We just need to make sure we’ve got soul in this group.” It was Ellyse Perry who delivered this critical message to the Australia Women’s team when they stood on the brink of elimination from the T20 World Cup they would go on gloriously to win, the national team coach, Matthew Mott, has revealed.Australia’s campaign culminated in a wondrous night at the MCG where Meg Lanning’s team defeated India to raise the trophy in front of more than 86,000 spectators. Mott described how, as well prepared as they were beforehand, the Australians struggled mightily with the weight of expectation.It had them nervous and getting away from their natural, aggressive instincts in the tournament opener against India at the Sydney Showgrounds, and took them near to elimination in the following game against Sri Lanka in Perth. After Lanning and vice-captain Rachael Haynes had fashioned a partnership to get them home, team leaders called a batting meeting at their hotel to discuss how to change things – at this point, they needed to win four matches in a row to claim the title.”Traditionally what happens in cricket, and this is only in my experiences, but because you share so much information about bowling and batting is more of an individual pursuit, we rarely have actual batting meetings, they’re normally part of the full meeting,” Mott said. “But we actually called a batting meeting, we just opened it up and said ‘how do you think we’re going, what do we need to do to actually be the best we can be, and be true to ourselves’ and the honesty around that was incredible.”Players admitted ‘I’m nervous, I haven’t been playing like I normally play, I should be doing this, I should be doing that’. Ellyse Perry was at that meeting because she goes in both meetings as an allrounder. She says ‘to be honest, we just need to make sure we’ve got soul in this group, and we look out for each other, be a little bit more overt with our body language and maybe the odd fist-bump and something like that when someone has hit a good boundary’. I think if you look back to us in the first two games compared to the last few, you definitely saw a greater appreciation of a partnership, and I reckon that was pivotal.”Perry’s message, combined with the batting of Lanning and Haynes, gave the Australians the reset they desperately needed to play more freely, as demonstrated by subsequent wins over Bangladesh, New Zealand, South Africa amid Sydney’s showers, and finally India in the tournament decider. Perry, of course, was to miss the last two games with a hamstring injury, but her experience and wisdom were tellingly kept on board right up to the finish line.Alyssa Healy got Australia off to a big start•Getty Images”We talked about it a lot before the tournament,” Mott said. “The beauty of this team was we actually realised that we didn’t react well in the first game and we were nervous, I was nervous, so I can imagine what the players were like. There was so much expectation and build-up, and we knew there was a lot at stake. For us to turn out at the MCG was potentially a game-changing moment for not just cricket but women’s sport. So there was absolutely a burden there.”How we internalised that and actually helped each other out sort of happened after Perth and that partnership between Rach [Haynes] and Meg [Lanning]. I think you always look back and say what a great final, but we had no right to be there unless that partnership happened, and that just changed our whole philosophy for the tournament. It was almost like a lightbulb moment of ‘if we keep playing scared and timid we’re going to get these results’. So I was really pleased with the batting group in particular that they galvanised and formed a unit and said ‘we’re going to commit to this. If it doesn’t come off, it doesn’t come off, but we’re going to make sure we go down swinging at least’.”Mott, who began his coaching career as an assistant to Trevor Bayliss with the New South Wales state team, also spoke about the parallels between Australia’s women taking on the task of winning a home World Cup and England’s men’s team trying to win their first-ever global tournament, also on home soil in 2019.”Even the way England, after their disappointment in 2015, tried to change the game up and take the game on,” Mott said. “It didn’t always come off, sometimes it doesn’t look great, and you’re always judged on your results. There are certain times where it doesn’t come off, but if you stay true to it, I think Alyssa Healy’s the perfect example of that, if you’ve got that rare talent that not many players have, [it does reward you].”As coaches and support staff you’ve just got to keep fostering that when the results aren’t coming, because you don’t want game-changers to start second-guessing themselves. We had to hold the faith and there was a lot of people talking about ‘how are you going to play’, there was never a doubt in our team that at some point she [Healy] was going to hurt someone and I think she did it a few times, ably supported by Beth [Mooney]. A different role, a bit more consistent over time, but they’re just a perfect foil for each other.”

Leeds United will be aiming to pick up yet another Championship win this calendar year when they travel to Coventry City, knowing that first-team stars such Crysencio Summerville will have to play to the peak of their powers to get the better of the Sky Blues.

The hosts will still have aspirations about breaking into the playoff picture with six games of the whirlwind regular campaign left to tick off, with Mark Robins hoping his side can spoil Leeds' high spirits at the CBS Arena.

Staggeringly only on £15k-per-week, according to Capology, the dynamic Dutchman will surely hope his wages get a boost at the end of the season even if his team don't end up winning promotion.

Leeds will be wary about handing out excessive pay packets, however, regardless of Summerville's 18 goals this season, remembering how costly former flop Helder Costa became.

Helder Costa's wage at Leeds

Costa wasn't instantly seen as a misfire when he first entered Elland Road, having amassed four goals and six assists during his debut season under Marcelo Bielsa in the Championship.

It was the step-up to the Premier League that saw the Angolan talent's significance to the Whites first-team start to wane, going on to make 23 appearances over the next two seasons – with six goals and assists for his troubles – before being offloaded for good at the start of this campaign.

Having been loaned out twice to Valencia and Al-Itthiad in recent years to get freshness into his legs, the former Wolverhampton Wanderers man was put out of his misery as a Leeds player finally by Farke last October when he was released from his contract.

There would have been some relief that the high earner was off the wage bill too, with Costa raking in £32.5k-per-week for the Whites as recently as the 2020/21 season.

That was remarkably £2.5k-per-week more than Kalvin Phillips at the time, and looking at the present state of affairs in the Leeds camp, Costa was earning double that of Summerville.

Helder Costa's wage compared to the current Leeds squad

Summerville has staggeringly bettered Costa's entire numbers at Elland Road this season alone already, onto 27 goals and assists from 40 games compared to Costa's weak 19 goals and assists from 71 appearances.

Regardless, Costa ended up earning more than double what the standout Leeds ten earns now even when he ended up featuring just 22 times for Bielsa's side during the 2020/21 campaign.

Moreover, glancing over the extensive Whites wage bill now, Costa would find himself earning more than other regular first-team stars such as Illan Meslier, Wilfried Gnonto and Glen Kamara – and not just Summerville.

Described as being "frustrating" by ex-Leeds player Noel Whelan when the 30-year-old winger was loaned out to Spain, the Angolan attacker now finds himself without a club and is nearing towards the end of his bumpy career.

£70k per week

2. Georginio Rutter

£70k per week

3. Junior Firpo

£60k per week

4. Daniel James

£50k per week

5. Pascal Struijk

£50k per week

His excessive wage wouldn't see him quite break into the top five earners at Elland Road at the moment, but there's no doubt some regret on Leeds' end about the fact they splashed £16m on Costa and ended up giving him a handsome salary for so long.

Costa might well even consider hanging up his boots soon if he can't regain his mojo when a new club comes calling, whilst Leeds continue to go from strength to strength with Summerville integral to their promotion chances.

Graeme Souness absolutely savaged Bruno Fernandes for throwing "the towel in" during Manchester United's 7-0 loss to Liverpool.

• WHAT HAPPENED?

  Fernandes has been a pivotal figure for United since he joined the club and was appointed captain by Erik ten Hag, taking over the role from Harry Maguire. However, despite his impressive performances on the pitch, the Portuguese has been scrutinised for his behaviour and attitude during games – as he has allowed growing frustration to get the better of him on several occasions.

  WHAT SOUNESS SAID

  Souness, speaking on the new podcast "Three Up Front," expressed his concerns about Fernandes' conduct during United's humiliating loss to Liverpool in the 2022/23 season. He felt that Fernandes lacked leadership and determination in the face of adversity and believed that the skipper gave up too easily, which is unbecoming of a captain.

  “When you look at leaders in the modern game, one example is at Manchester United which is one of the biggest institutions in world football,” Souness said. “The club captain is Bruno Fernandes. When they were 3-0 down against Liverpool a couple of seasons ago, he just threw the towel in… he’s the captain! If anything, he should still be contributing, running around with enthusiasm and helping his teammates.

  “I don’t think Fernandes can change that aspect of himself – it’s part of him. When he’s shrugging his shoulders and throwing his arms around, that’s just him.”

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  This is not the first time that Souness has come down on Fernandes. The former Scottish international had earlier slammed Fernandes for going "missing" in crucial games and insisted that his leadership qualities are "unattractive".

  Speaking after the 7-0 defeat, Souness stated: "He is obviously not a leader, it's as plain as the nose on the end of your face he is not a leader. His attitude when they went 3-0 down at Liverpool was appalling. Fernandes you'll see be a star when they are on top, when they are on the front foot and he is creative, he's a real talent, but he showed a side to him [during the 7-0 defeat by Liverpool] that day at Anfield which was very unattractive. The manager United have right now is willing to overlook that because he is going to win them games moving forward."

  WHAT NEXT?

  As the 2024/25 Premier League season approaches, Souness' comments have reignited the debate about leadership at United. While Fernandes remains a key player for the Red Devils, his ability to lead the team effectively during crunch moments will be under scrutiny.

Arsenal are on the march in the Premier League and Champions League this season, and after a few years of intelligent acquisitions in the transfer market, look set to challenge the top sides for several campaigns to come.

Alongside adding quality throughout, Mikel Arteta and Edu Gaspar have trimmed the squad where necessary, and it's probably time they sanctioned the exit of a certain big-name player: Thomas Partey.

The decision to do so could be made much easier thanks to the development of a terrific Hale End gem who could form a brilliant partnership with Declan Rice in his place.

Why Thomas Partey should be moved on

The Gunners completed the £45m signing of Partey in October 2020, and it would be fair to say that when he's played, he has generally been one of the club's best players. However, therein lies the main problem: he doesn't play enough.

In the three and a half seasons he has been at the Emirates, the Ghanaian international has missed a grand total of 72 games for club and country, which averages out to around 18 games a season. He has already missed 26 this year alone, and based on his record, it wouldn't be surprising to see him miss more.

Now, if the club had no one to replace the 30-year-old, it might be worth persisting with him next year, but with the club's £105m man playing the six role at such a high level this season, that seems pointless.

Moreover, with the CIES Football Observatory valuing the Krobo Odumase-born star at just €15m – £13m – Arsenal should look to offload him as soon as possible in the summer before that value plummets further, especially as a Hale End gem could take his place in the team and form a longterm partnership with Rice.

Why Charlie Patino could replace Partey

The young Hale End graduate in question is Englishman Charlie Patino, who has thrived with the youth teams and impressed out on loan.

The Watford-born gem made 47 appearances for the U18 and U21 sides before joining Championship outfit Blackpool on a season-long loan last year.

In his year with the Seasiders, the 20-year-old played in 37 games, scored three goals, provided four assists, and left a big impression on the fans and his teammates. Former Blackpool forward Jerry Yates described him as "sensational" and predicted that "he'll be a top, top player" in the future.

Unfortunately, the Tangerines were eventually relegated, and so this season, the Gunners sent their young prospect on loan to a stronger team in Swansea City, where he has made 31 appearances thus far, scored four goals and provided four assists.

Something else the "golden" gem, as talent scout Jacek Kulig dubbed him, has up his sleeve is his versatility. Last year, he played 18 games as a central midfielder and 13 as a defensive midfielder. In contrast, this season, he's started as a central midfielder nine times and an attacking midfielder six times while filling in off the bench wherever needed in his other 16 appearances.

This ability to play anywhere in the midfield would be incredibly beneficial if he were to replace Partey and form a partnership with Rice. He could come in as the six and allow the former West Ham man to bomb forward, or he could do the attacking as his senior teammate sits back and shields the back four.

Ultimately, with the Ghanaian playing a minimal role this season and thus proving he is not an essential player anymore, Arteta and Edu should move him on in the summer, especially with Patino waiting in the wings for his chance in that midfield.

Longer-term, she will hope to inspire a new look Juventus side to a first Serie A title since 2022 following two seasons of domestic dominance from Roma.

Mikel Arteta and Arsenal weren't able to make any additions to their first-team squad during the January transfer window, with the club hamstrung in the market by the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules. The money was available, but Arsenal would have risked exceeding the limit if they'd spent it.

Heading into the summer, though, there are plenty of positions Arteta could look to address. A striker is expected to be high on the wishlist, and they may strengthen their attacking options further with another winger too.

Bukayo Saka has started all but one game this season and Gabriel Martinelli has made the line-up for 19 out of 23, while Leandro Trossard has offered an option both out wide and through the middle. Reiss Nelson, however, hasn't started a single top-flight match this term, and youngster Marquinhos has been recalled from a loan spell at French club Nantes, where he only started one Ligue 1 game.

Beyond that, Arsenal might also try to sign a left-back, and there's a possibility that they pursue multiple options in the centre of midfield too. One of those, it seems, could be Leicester City's Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

Dewsbury Hall could be on Arsenal list

Speaking to GiveMeSport, transfer insider Dean Jones shared Arsenal's transfer priorities for this summer. He's learned that the Gunners are considering a new wide man and, as for central targets, he says Dewsbury-Hall could be a candidate.

He said: "Dewsbury-Hall, a player that's creative, definitely somebody that I could see that would be on their radar. I know for a fact that as well as being open to signing a new striker, they also feel like they might need another wide player.

"I think a creator like Dewsbury Hall who can be versatile and who can bring a spark to games. It's not very often these players become available. I don't think he'd be top of Arsenal's list to be honest, but he's certainly somebody that would fit what they're trying to do under Arteta."

Dewsbury-Hall won't come cheap after stunning season

Dewsbury-Hall is enjoying a standout season at Leicester, who are on course to be promoted back to the Premier League at a canter after their relegation last term. With 16 games to go, they sit 11 points clear at the top of the table, albeit having played a game more than Southampton.

25-year-old Dewsbury-Hall has helped to power that promotion push by reaching double figures for both goals and assists, a feat only one other player – Southampton's Adam Armstrong – has achieved. He's scored the eight-most in the league and set-up the third-most, ranking inside the top three for overall goal contributions.

Inevitably, this form hasn't gone unnoticed in the top tier, with Brighton bidding £20m for the Englishman during last month's window. Leicester rejected that offer because it was "considerably below" their valuation for a crucial homegrown player, and it remains to be seen how much they'll demand in the summer when, in all likelihood, they'll be back in the big time.
