Kalidou Koulibaly completes move to Al Hilal from Chelsea

Kalidou Koulibaly has joined Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal after just one season at Chelsea. The Senegal defender has put pen to paper on a lucrative deal in the Middle East, bringing the curtain down on a short stay in England. He becomes Al Hilal's second high-profile signing this month after they added Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves to their ranks. Al Hilal had hoped to bring in Lionel Messi but he has instead opted to head to MLS side Inter Miami. Koulibaly signed for Chelsea during the summer 2022 transfer window, widely seen as their successor to Antonio Rudiger after he joined Real Madrid. He quickly endeared himself to fans with a superb volley to open the scoring in a 2-2 draw with rivals Tottenham on the second weekend of the 2022/23 season.

MotoGP riders agree MotoGP track limits “easy” to overstep at Assen

This follows Brad Binder’s demotion from third to fifth in today’s sprint race, after the KTM rider ventured just a fraction onto ‘the green’ exiting the right-hander at Stekkenwal. Due to the penalty being issued so late in the race, three seconds were added to his finishing time in lieu of a long-lap penalty.  Asked if the circuit has always been difficult from a track limits perspective, race winner Marco Bezzecchi said: “For me, it’s always been difficult. If you check where we go over track limits , it’s always Turn 8 [Stekkenwal] and the last corner. Normally when you exit a corner, you go straight, but there the [kerb curves inwards].  "So it’s difficult to control the bike, but it’s a characteristic of the track , so we have to adapt.   “I hit the green many times during the practice sessions! So it was difficult to manage in the race.”  Reigning world champion Francesco Bagnaia, who finished second behind Bezzecchi, added: “These are fast ...

Tottenham reach agreement to sign Dejan Kulusevski on permanent deal from Juventus

Tottenham Hotspur have agreed to sign Dejan Kulusevski from Juventus for a €30m fee, sources have told 90min . The Sweden international has spent the last season-and-a-half on loan at Spurs and is set to continue his stay in north London.

Business is booming again for the American Hockey League More than 10,000 fans filled the Hershey Bears' home arena on Tuesday night to watch the oldest American Hockey League franchise take on the newest, the Coachella Valley Firebirds, in the Calder Cup Finals. It was the third consecutive game in the AHL championship series to be sold out and pushed total playoff attendance for the NHL's top developmental league above half a million fans. That's a record for the nearly 90-year-old league that also set a new high water mark for revenue, which president and CEO Scott Howson estimates is 15% to 20% above pre-pandemic levels. Three years after canceling the playoffs and two years after gutting through a shortened season with almost no fans in arenas and a few teams opting out of playing entirely, business is finally booming again for the AHL. “We’ve just recovered so quickly,” Howson told The Associated Press this week. “It’s a testament to our product. It’s a testament to...

Facebook parent Meta explores plans for Twitter rival

Facebook and Instagram's parent company, Meta Platforms, is working on a text-based social app, com Pet ing with Twitter and Mastodon. "We're exploring a standalone decentralized social network for sharing text updates. We believe there's an opportunity for a separate space where creators and public figures can share timely updates about their interests," a spokesperson told BBC. Meta is aiming to take advantage to fill the gap created by Twitter's continuous ongoing chaos, which has lost users' faith in the platform.
