What clubs might want the duo this summer?

2 weeks ago | bvmsports.com | Eduardo Tansley

Ollie Watkins. Ivan Toney. Are Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa next? When club captain Ivan Toney left Brentford for Saudi Arabia's Al Ahli for £33million ($44.12m) plus add-ons last summer, manager Thomas Frank turned to players already at the club. With 38 Premier League goals this season combined, Mbeumo and Wissa have filled the Toney void brilliantly, contributing heavily to Brentford's highest goal tally in the Premier League (65).

4 weeks ago | nytimes.com | Eduardo Tansley

Chelsea became the fourth Women's Super League team to go unbeaten in a season, and the first to do so in a 12-team, 22-game campaign, after a 1-0 win against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Despite disappointment in the Champions League, crashing out to Barcelona with an 8-2 aggregate loss in the semi-finals, it could still be a perfect domestic campaign for the Londoners if the FA Cup is added to the WSL title and the Subway Cup secured earlier in the year.

The man commonly hailed as the greatest footballer of all time could also be the most exhausted by the end of a two-week spell which, if he fulfils all his obligations, could see him clock up almost 10,000 miles and play four games for his club, Inter Miami, and the Argentina national side. But Messi is not alone. It is 18 months since FIFA told the world of its finer details for a new Club World Cup.

It might not be a surprise to you that some soccer players like to buy jewellery. They are some of the highest-paid athletes in the world. Yet, a niche in the jewellery industry, supplying players with commemorative pieces, is a concept that is a long way from reaching its potential. Soccer players compete for various pieces of silverware every year. They can achieve individual records, team records, or dramatically escape relegation. All of these moments can be worthy of celebration.

Despite the Champions League continuing to elude them, Chelsea remain on track for a treble-winning season. Chelsea were soundly beaten by Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final on Sunday, losing 8-2 on aggregate to end their hopes of lifting four trophies, but manager Sonia Bompastor - the only person in the women's game to have won the Champions League as both a player and manager - remains on track for a remarkable campaign in her first season in charge.
