Manchester City are close to signing the 17-year-old Brazilian player Kayky from Fluminense. The two clubs agreed a fee of €10m plus add-ons as well as 20% of any future sale in February and the deal is now expected to be confirmed by all parties.
The forward, who has been described as “the new Neymar” in Brazil, will arrive in June 2022, when he will be 18 years old. He is considered one of the best young talents in South America and has two goals in seven appearances in the Brazilian top flight this season.

Aaron Mooy gently agonises over every one of his answers for 10 full minutes before eventually confirming what was already long suspected. “I’m not much of a big talker around the room,” he says quietly, inviting supportive laughter. “Everyone that knows me knows that.”
The midfielder, seated at a press conference table in front of a dozen journalists, had just been reminded of his relative seniority compared to many of his World Cup teammates and asked if he was providing a strong guiding presence in the dressing room.

Eric Ramsay was looking ahead to Minnesota United’s most difficult run of games since he was appointed head coach in March. A road trip featuring games in Colorado and Los Angeles in the space of five days, before returning to Minnesota, posed a logistical task as well as a sporting one. Tight schedules and travel have caught out many newcomers to MLS, but the former Manchester United assistant coach was keen to embrace that side of the league.
“Part of the appeal of this league to me, and part of the reason I wanted to take my first steps here as a head coach, was because some of the things we’re having to deal with are things you wouldn’t necessarily have to deal with at home,” Ramsay says.
“Altitude, …
The fourteenth-ranked Missouri softball team is playing today’s game against South Carolina under protest after players claim an “unjust investigation” is taking place against the program. Details are sparse-to-nonexistent, and even Missouri Tigers blogs aren’t sure yet exactly what has prompted the protest. Coach Ehren Earleywine is in attendance at the game and is coaching; he was suspended one game in February for a minor NCAA infraction. The ESPNU broadcast did not mention the protest or its reasoning in the intro or beginning of the game. …
The Minnesota Vikings wrote a letter in support of Michael Floyd’s defense motion arguing that he did not violate his probation by consuming alcohol, because all the alcohol consumed was in a few bottles of kombucha, according to a report from the Pioneer Press. Vikings chief operating officer Kevin Warren reportedly wrote the letter, which was forwarded to a Scottsdale City Judge presiding over a motion calling for Floyd’s house arrest to continue to its scheduled conclusion without a show-cause hearing related to the alleged kombucha-related hiccup: “I am writing to request Mr. Floyd not have his court mandated requirements negatively impacted since he did not know the kombucha he ingested contained alcohol,” Warren wrote in the June 21 letter, which was cc’d to Vikings pre…
Some people are fans of the Los Angeles Chargers. But many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many more people are NOT fans of the Los Angeles Chargers. This 2018 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Your team: Los Angeles Chargers. Your 2017 record: 9-7. And if you thought the Chargers were gonna somehow shed their penchant for late-game dick-shooting in the course of moving to LA, you must be a member of the Spanos family. In their very first game, they had a game-tying kick whistled dead after the Broncos froze the kicker, and then had the subsequent kick blocked. In their second game, the kicker missed ANOTHER field goal right at the very end that would have won it. They also lost to the Patriots after their returner fielded a punt at the 11 and somehow tu…
Rob Gronkowski, who will bleed Grey Goose if you cut him, had quite a year. After the Patriots won the Super Bowl, Gronk was shirtless, twerking, and shirtless while twerking.

Some people are fans of the Kansas City Chiefs. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Kansas City Chiefs. This 2012 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read the other Why Your Team Sucks 2012 previews here. 1. "Let's hire the Battletoad!" When you're evaluating a potential head coaching prospect who has a career record of 26-41, it's usually best to not focus on a single victory that came out of that otherwise horrible record. I think it's very sweet that the Chiefs managed to buck up and foil the Packers' unbeaten season last December, but you don't go planning your goddamn FUTURE around that one serendipitous moment. Romeo Crennel was a good coach that game. For the other 66 games in his career, he's been a …
Every year, I do a fantasy football preview with Andy Behrens of Yahoo. We usually do this as a podcast, but my equipment crapped out this year and so you get a written preview instead. So let’s get right to it. As always, the goal of Behrens and me is to give you as much relevant information about each team as we possibly can going into your draft. And that’s badly needed this season because so many players changed hands in such a short period of time and I am fucking CLUELESS. I didn’t know who Daniel Thomas was until two days ago. I feel like the average Peter King reader. THESE NEW NAMES FRIGHTEN AND CONFUSE ME. We’ll do this in two parts, with a breakdown of each team’s changes and how they might impact your draft strategy. The rest is in your hands. First up, the AFC: …
data-mm-id=”_dec1bcv71″>The Big Ten is no longer a collection of dust from three-yard gains. All manner of newfangled offensive schemes have come and gone and the scoreboards have reflected a more uptempo, freewheeling game. And yet, deep down in the soul of everyone from Cedar Rapids to Happy Valley who is of a certain age, there's a certain nostalgia for steel-curtain defense on sun-starved and frozen brown fields. The ship has arrived for that sect of fans. The nation's four top scoring defenses reside in the conference. Wisconsin is holding opponents to 7.3 points/game while Penn State is just behind at 7.5. Iowa is at 8.5 and Ohio State at 8.6. It's beautiful. Michigan State, which may have the most fearsome unit of all, is 14th at 15.0. The Spartans join Wisconsin,…
