Is Nypan ready for the Premier League?
Sky Sports News has reported Man City are now in advanced negotiations to sign Nypan, following interest from Aston Villa late in the season.
So is Nypan ready to make the move? Of course he is.
While the prospect of moving to the Premier League would be daunting to most 18-year-olds, it will not faze Nypan.
If he does not take to it immediately, he will work tirelessly until he is ready.
Vikvang added: “We had U16s and we had U19s, the U19s is also the second team for the senior side. Quite early, he went from U16s to U19s. At the age of 14, he played U19 youth league.
“He had a terrible experience. We lost 10-0 away on his debut.
“We were really outplayed. But what impressed me was after the match, he said ‘Wow, they have good players, I have to go back home and train harder to compete at that level.’
“There was no excuse that he was three or four years younger.
“He was only thinking about the level of the play and he wanted to be competitive.
“If you go on the pitch, playing against 18 or 19-year-old players, his mentality was to be competitive. His mentality is something special.”
So would the Premier League be any different? His former academy boss does not think so.
“No. He will deal with that no problem. He is so mature and has really good social skills when he goes into a new group.
“That will be no problem. I am not worried. Spain or England, it doesn’t matter.
“When he makes his decision, the club that signs him is very lucky. He is something special.”

As QB Will Howard begins new chapter with Steelers, he’s still ‘the guy’ in Ohio: ‘I’m always going to have a home here’
PICKERINGTON, Ohio — Will Howard is from Downingtown, Pennsylvania, and is starting his pro football career in Pittsburgh with the Steelers.But the 6-foot-4, 236-pound quarterback is larger than life in the next state over.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAlmost five months after helping Ohio State win its first national championship in 10 years, Howard returned to the Buckeye State last weekend, following the conclusion of the Steelers' mandatory minicamp. Through FlexWork Sports, Howard hosted a camp in Pickerington for kids ages 6-16.Howard walked onto the Pickerington North football field Saturday morning — the old home of his Ohio State and Steelers teammate, defensive end Jack Sawyer. He did so to the tune of The McCoys’ “Hang on Sloopy,” which is performed in a marching band arrangement at the end of the third quarter of every game at Ohio Stadium. The song was met with a […]
Travis Kelce challenges his own Chiefs teammate and turns the team’s practice into a show
In a striking moment atKansas City's mandatory minicamp, Travis Kelce reaffirmed his identity, not just as a top-tier tight end, but as a cultural icon who refuses to tone down his flair for the sake of conformity. His bold celebration directly clashed with Harrison Butker's recent advocacy for subdued, respectful post-touchdown conduct. Essentially, the moment on the practice field wasn't just another catch; it was Kelce making a statement.The tension simmering in the locker room stems from two very different philosophies. Butker, the Chiefs' dependable kicker, recently voiced concerns about excessive celebrations. Without naming names, he questioned whether players would still celebrate if "our Lord was playing" and wondered if touchdown dances might be over the top. His pointed comments sparked curiosity: Would this more restrained mindset permeate the rest of the team?Kelce, never one to kowtow, delivered his response […]
Kapitán na MS klubů nepodal soupeřům ruku. Byl jsem zmatený, omlouval se
Fotbalisté si ruce před začátkem zápasu podávají prakticky vždycky. Jde o tradiční gesto fair play. Proto bylo chování norského obránce nepochopitelné nejen pro hráče River Plate, ale i pro jeho spoluhráče, kteří se se soupeřem běžně pozdravili.„Zapomněl jsem podat ruce, protože celá situace byla jiná než obvykle. Byl jsem zmatený a soustředěný na sebe a nepochopil jsem, co máme dělat. Proto jsem odešel bez podání ruky,“ vysvětloval po zápase na sociálních sítích třicetiletý Hoibraten.Zdá se, že jde o pouhou lacinou výmluvu. Pravdou ale je, že na mistrovství světa klubů v novém formátu došlo i k určitým změnám při nástupu hráčů na hřiště. Přicházejí jednotlivě po vyvolání svého jména a staví se i do jiné pozice, než bývá obvyklé. Je proto možné, že bývalý hráč Bodo/Glimt a Lillestromu pod tlakem okamžiku udělal chybu, za kterou se pak omluvil nejen soupeřům, ale i fanouškům argentinského velkoklubu.„Vypadá to, že mi na vás nebo na […]

Arnette most recently played for the Houston Roughnecks of the UFL, racking up 18 tackles and an interception in the recently completed season.

It’s Official: Stephen A. Smith Admits He Hates LeBron James — and It’s Obvious
After a viral spat surrounding Bronny James just a few short months ago, top ESPN basketball personality Stephen A. Smith admitted that he simply does not like LeBron James. This is an instance of two stars quite literally colliding. James is the best basketball player of this generation — a fact that hasn’t been up for debate for the last decade. Smith is one of the highest-paid sports personalities in history and has reshaped the way sports conversations happen on television. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Smith admitted that he does not like James — and that James doesn’t like him either — and accused LeBron of using the Bronny story as an excuse to go after ESPN’s top talker. “I don’t like him, and he don’t like me. He’s one of the greatest players who’s ever lived. […]
