Defending champions Liverpool hauled themselves out of trouble for the second game week running with a late winneras they edged Newcastle 3-2 at St.James Park. Teenager Rio Ngumoha was the hero for the Reds, becoming their youngest ever league goal scorer with his 100th minute winner.

The visitors took the lead through Ryan Gravenberch, with the Dutch medio’s shot taking a slight deflection off Fabian Schar and into the bottom corner on 35 minutes. Hugo Ekitike doubled Liverpool’s advantage immediately after the interval-he was the first to the rebound after Cody Gakpo’s initial effort had been blocked.

Newcastle then lost Anthony Gordon to a reckless red card, but fought back to make it 2-2. Their first goal saw Bruno Guimaraes nod home from a Tino Livramento cross, while Willliam Osula netted the second after Liverpool failed to deal with Nick Pope’s long kick.

The Magpies also lost influential players Sandro Tonali and Joelinton to injury, but were cruelly denied a well-deserved point by Ngumoha. The move was an excellent attacking one by Liverpool, with Dominik Szoboszlai’s well-timed dummy the icing on the cake as the 16-year-old fired home deep into stoppage time.

Liverpool have another tough opponent coming up in the form of Arsenal this weekend while Newcastle will square off against Leeds.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have officially completed the signing of defender Jackson Tchatchoua from Italian outfit Hellas Verona. The Cameroon international has moved for a reported fee of around 12.5m euros and has put pen to paper a five-year-deal at Molineux, with the option of an additional year also built into the deal.

Tchatchoua was the fastest player in Serie A last season, hitting a top speed of 36.3 km/h in the Italian top flight for Verona. The 23-year-old was born in Belgium and came through the ranks at Charleroi before sealing a loan switch to Verona in 2023, a move that became permanent the following year.

Tchatchoua is primarily a right back by trade, but is also capable of playing on the left side if required. He is expected to fill the void left by Nelson Semedo’s departure to Fenerbahce. The Midlands outfit were earlier interested in Marc Pubill and Juanlu Sanchez, but opted for Tchatchoua when deals for the former didn’t materialise.

Wolves played Dutch international Ki Jana Hoever in Tchatchoua’s position in their season opener against Man City over the weekend. The home side eventually lost 4-0 to Pep Guardiola’s side.

The Midlands outfit’s next game is an away trip to the Vitality Stadium to take on Bournemouth.

Tottenham are set to step up their efforts to sign Crystal Palace attacker Eberechi Eze, with negotiations expected to advance significantly over the next two days. The two Premier League clubs have been in talks since earlier this week, and sources indicate that discussions are progressing well, with growing confidence at Spurs that an agreement is within reach.

Although his release clause – previously set at £60 million plus £8 million in add-ons – has now expired, Tottenham are aiming to agree a fee slightly below that figure.

Newcastle United have reached an agreement to sign midfielder Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa in a deal worth £43 million. The Magpies will pay £39 million upfront, with an additional £4 million in performance-related add-ons.

Ramsey, 24, is set to sign a five-year contract at St James’ Park and will undergo a medical on Thursday night ahead of the move.

Ramsey has made over 160 appearances for Villa since his debut in 2019 and was a regular under Unai Emery. Despite injury setbacks, he remains highly rated for his ability to operate between the lines in midfield.

The move marks another major addition to Newcastle’s squad as they prepare for the new Premier League season.

Paris St-Germain pulled off a thrilling late turnaround to capture the UEFA Super Cup, ruining Thomas Frank’s hopes of winning silverware in his debut as Tottenham manager.

Spurs looked set for victory with a 2-0 lead by the 84th minute, thanks to goals from Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero. But PSG clawed their way back Lee Kang-in fired in a long-range strike, and Goncalo Ramos headed home an equaliser deep into stoppage time.

With no extra time, the game went straight to penalties. Vitinha missed PSG’s opening attempt, but Tottenham couldn’t capitalise, as both van de Ven and Mathys Tel failed to convert. Nuno Mendes sealed the win for PSG with the decisive spot-kick.

The match marked Frank’s first in charge since taking over from Ange Postecoglou, who left the club shortly after their Europa League triumph in May.

Atletico Madrid have officially announced the signing of forward Giacomo Raspadori. The Italian striker moves to the Spanish capital from Serie A outfit Napoli, and Los Colchoneros have paid a reported 26-million-euro fee for his services. He has put pen to paper a five-year contract at the Vicente Calderon.

Raspadori started his youth career with Sassuolo in his native Italy and his performances for them caught the eye of Napoli, who initially signed him on loan with a view to making the deal permanent later.
In his three-year stint in Naples, Raspadori made over 100 appearances across all competitions for the Partenopei. He scored six league goals last season as Napoli were crowned Serie A winners.
The 25-year-old Raspadori has been capped by Italy at various youth levels and was also a part of their senior Euro 2020 winning squad, with the Azzurri beating England at Wembley to lift the continental trophy.

Atleti have invested heavily in the transfer market, signing the likes of Alex Baena, Johnny Cardoso, David Hancko and Thiago Almada in this widow. Raspadori is their third acquisition from the Italian league this summer after Juan Musso and Matteo Ruggeri (both from Atalanta)
Atleti will start the new league season away at Espanyol this weekend.

Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, 24, was left out of Friday’s squad against Bayer Leverkusen after agreeing to leave this summer. He trained alone amid Newcastle interest following their failure to sign Benjamin Sesko. The move suits both parties, with Chelsea having added Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.

Liverpool have reached an agreement with Al-Hilal over the €53m (£46.3m) transfer of striker Darwin Núñez.

Al-Nassr have signed João Félix from Chelsea for an initial £26.2m, potentially rising to £43.7m with bonuses. The Portuguese forward joins on a two-year deal.

AC Milan, Newcastle, and now Aston Villa are all interested in the former England striker. Calvert-Lewin scored just three goals in 26 games last season for Everton.
