Celtic have completed a double signing from South Korea by bringing in Yang Hyun-jun and Kwon Hyeon-kyu.

The signing of 21-year-old winger Yang from Gangwon was confirmed before the club announced they had also wrapped up a deal for 22-year-old midfielder Kwon from Busan I-Park.

Both players have signed five-year contracts and will link up with compatriot Oh Hyeon-gyu.

Former Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp has announced he will speak with Nwankwo Kanu in a bid to help save the club.

The Fratton Park outfit could face extinction with administrator Trevor Birch setting a deadline of August 10 for the club to solve their chronic financial problems.

Kanu is claiming he is owed 3 million pounds in unpaid wages but Redknapp, who brought the Nigerian striker to the club in 2006, will attempt to persuade him to compromise on a settlement.

Israeli defender Tal Ben Haim is in a similar situation and claims he is owed 2.5 million pounds from the club.

I will be ringing Kanu today to see if there is anything I can do, Redknapp told ESPN. I signed him for Portsmouth on a one-year contract and Tony Adams told me: You must be mad…

Lyon captain Nabil Fekir could be leaving the club at the end of the current campaign, according to his official representative.

The 24-year-old was handed the captain’s armband last summer and he has since enjoyed a very productive campaign, scoring 16 goals and setting up another 5 in 24 Ligue 1 matches.

With top European clubs hot on his trail, a summer exit is a realistic possibility, and the player’s agent has also opened door to a move away from the club.

“If eventually at the end of the season, and this is not the case today, there was a decision to be made, we would sit down with president Aulas and we would find the right solution,” agent Jean-Pierre Bernes told Dauphine Libere.

“You know very well that at some point, we may be able to…

Javier Hernandez punished Chelsea s wastefulness to secure a 1-1 draw for West Ham at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

The Mexican whipped home a fine strike just four minutes after stepping off the bench to secure a precious point in the Hammers  fight for survival.

How David Moyes side were even in a position to salvage something from the game will give Antonio Conte sleepless nights, given his side s total control until that point.

Eden Hazard and Willian were in mesmeric form from the outset and led the Hammers defence a merry dance throughout, but Chelsea s dominance was not reflected in the scoreline, with Joe Hart enjoying a fine game in West Ham s goal.

Alvaro Morata saw goals ruled out in either half for offside, while Willian missed a host of gl…

Diego Simeone did not feel Atletico Madrid were any better against Barcelona on Saturday than in previous meetings, with Lionel Messi s absence instead the decisive factor.

Atletico have had a poor record against Barca in Simeone s time at the club, going 20 without a win in this fixture before their 1-0 success in 2020-21.

But they have now gone three without conceding to the Blaugrana in LaLiga for the first time, having drawn 0-0 at the end of last season and won 2-0 on Saturday.

Barca had 70.4 per cent of the possession but created only nine shots worth a combined 1.0 expected goals at the Wanda Metropolitano.

New Paris Saint-Germain signing Messi had scored 26 goals in 30 LaLiga games against Atleti – only managing more against Sevilla (30) and Val…

Liverpool forward Danny Ings has joined fellow Premier League club Southampton on a season-long loan with the deal including an obligation to buy.

Ings had been deemed surplus to requirements by Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, but looked set to stay on at Anfield after a reported switch to Crystal Palace failed to materialise.

However, Southampton moved for the former Burnley man on Thursday, with the paperwork completed in time to beat the deadline, and Ings joins on a one-season loan ahead of a permanent transfer next year. 

The England international became Southampton s fourth transfer of the window and manager Mark Hughes is thrilled to have secured the 26-year-old.

There was significant competition for Danny, with a lot of clubs keen to complete a d…

A partnership led by American businessman Bill Foley has completed its takeover of Premier League side Bournemouth in a deal reportedly worth more than £100million.

Previous owner Maxim Demin has sold his 100 per cent stake to Foley s Black Knight Football Club, ending his 11-year stewardship of the Cherries.

Foley, who owns NHL ice hockey franchise the Vegas Golden Knights, is the club s new chairman and is backed by a minority ownership group that includes American actor Michael B. Jordan.

I have tremendous respect for the passion and support the Bournemouth community shows for this club and believe that connection to the community is the foundation for success of any sports team, Foley told Bournemouth s official website.

We will move forward with…

Simone Inzaghi praised his Inter players for not losing their heads after they came from behind to beat Venezia 2-1 at San Siro on Saturday.

Thomas Henry had put Venezia in front against the run of play with an excellent header, before Nicolo Barella ensured Inter went into the break level.

The reigning champions looked like they would drop points at home in Serie A for only the third time since October 2020, but Edin Dzeko sealed an important win in the 90th minute.

The result lifted the Nerazzurri five points clear of Milan at the Serie A summit, with Inzaghi citing his players  ability to remain calm after Venezia s opener as the key to their success.

The team believed to the end. The lads did so well considering we were coming off the Atalanta game…

Brendan Rodgers is eager to return to the Premier League one day but is in no rush to leave the best job in the world at Celtic amid reports of Arsenal identifying him as a potential successor to Arsene Wenger.

Following Wenger s announcement that he will step down at the end of the season after 22 years in charge, Arsenal have been linked with several candidates.

Luis Enrique, Massimiliano Allegri, Patrick Vieira and Mikel Arteta are among those touted, but Rodgers has emerged as one of the frontrunners having already coached extensively in the Premier League, including narrowly missing out on the title with Liverpool in the 2013-14 campaign, and on the back of a second successive league triumph at Celtic.

And although Rodgers likes the idea of returning to the …
