Liverpool announce star striker Darwin Núñez will take No. 9 shirt
Liverpool's Darwin Núñez will wear the No. 9 shirt for the club during the 2023-24 season. The Uruguayan striker opted for the iconic number that was left vacant after the departure of Roberto Firmino, who left the Premier League club after his contract expired earlier this summer. The club has announced that fans who have already purchased new 2023-24 home and away jerseys printed with the striker's name and his previous number - 27 - will be personally reimbursed by Núñez with a like-for-like exchange for a shirt with his new number.

Dele Alli praises ‘best manager’ Mauricio Pochettino for ‘caring about me as a person’
Dele Alli praised Mauricio Pochettino for caring about him as a person, as he opened up to Gary Neville in an emotional interview. The former Tottenham Hotspur star discussed the profound challenges he endured throughout his childhood and the long-lasting effects of trauma on his football career as he spoke on a powerful episode of The Overlap. “Mauricio Pochettino was the best manager and I couldn’t have asked for a better manager at the time,” Alli, 27, said of his time at Spurs. “It wasn’t like a footballer and a manager relationship. It was deeper than that, I felt. He was just so understanding of the decisions I was making, and he was guiding. He cared about me as a person before the football, which is what I needed at that time.”

Vandals set fire to and destroyed a seminal artwork by one of Italy’s most famous living artists on Wednesday 12 July. By the time flames were doused, all that was left of the installation by Michelangelo Pistoletto was a charred frame. Mr Pistoletto’s artwork, titled “Venus of the Rags” had been on display outside Naples’ City Hall since 28 June. It featured a large plaster neoclassical nude Venus, inspired by Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen’s 19th century “Venus with Apple,” picking through a mountain of rags. Pistoletto told the Corriere della Sera daily newspaper that there could be many reasons for the attack.
