Juventus offer Chelsea three players in Jorginho swap and Jude Bellingham transfer admission

Chelsea offered three players in Jorginho discussions

  Chelsea have reportedly been offered three players in some form of swap deal for midfielder, Jorginho, who is wanted by former Chelsea and current Juventus manager, Maurizio Sarri.

Per Catalan newspaper Sport, Juventus have offered Chelsea a pick of Douglas Costa, Adrien Rabiot and Federico Bernadeschi in place of Jorginho, all of which are not set to be a part of Sarri’s plans in Turin.

Chelsea might be most interested in Costa as they look set to lose Willian and Pedro in the summer as the veterans’ contracts expire at the end of the season, however Rabiot, at just 25, offers the greatest long-term value and could fill the midfield hole that Jorginho leaves behind.

Jorginho, meanwhile, excelled under Sarri at Napoli and then followed the Italian to Stamford Bridge in 2018. However, with N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic and now Billy Gilmour manning the central midfield positions, Frank Lampard may look to offload Jorginho in an attempt to bolster other positions.

Black Adam Can Be The DCEU’s Wolverine

The upcoming Black Adam movie could position its title character as DC's equivalent to Wolverine. Though Black Adam has taken quite a long time to get rolling, the first day of DC FanDome gave a peak at what audiences can expect, from name-dropping several Justice Society of America members who make appearances to Dwayne Johnson stressing the harsh origins of the title character. Johnson's description of Black Adam himself also may offer a sense of just what role he'll occupy in the world of the DCEU. Johnson would place particular emphasis on Black Adam having been a slave who achieves his freedom after being granted power from the gods and who now seeks to unleash his own brand of justice on the world. Aside from the moral ambiguity of Black Adam, Johnson has also repeatedly spoken of him as a game-changing figure in the DCEU with the power level that he operates at. Meanwhile, with the way Black Adam is being presented as a character, he could carry some notable parallel...

Epic Games asks court to stop Apple's 'retaliation' after App Store ban

Epic Games said late on Friday that it has asked a court to stop what it saw as Apple Inc's retaliation against the "Fortnite" creator after the iPhone maker terminated Epic Games' account on its App Store. Epic Games filed for a preliminary injunction that would put its game back in the App Store and restore its developer account. The filing was made in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. It argued that Epic Games is "likely to suffer irreparable harm" in the absence of a preliminary injunction and that "the balance of harms tips sharply in Epic's favor". The filing described the iPhone maker as a "monopolist" that maintains its monopolies by "explicitly prohibiting any competitive entry". Late last week, Apple terminated Epic Games' account on its App Store amid a legal battle over the iPhone maker's in-app payment guidelines and accusations they constitute a monopoly. Apple sa...

Who will be the next James Bond? Eight candidates for 007 after No Time to Die

Helen Barlow considers the chances of the actors mentioned as potential successors to Daniel Craig, considered the best incarnation of 007 since Sean Connery James Norton, who tells her he likes to explore ‘the inner conflict’ of his characters, and Outlander’s Sam Heughan, a Scot, are the current favourites The announcement of which actor will next play James Bond is still some way off, but that hasn’t stopped the speculation about who it will be. Daniel Craig leaves big shoes to fill after his fifth and final turn as the British special agent in  No Time to Die.   Whether the lucky actor will be well known or a surprise pick, as Craig was, remains to be seen. Age is another factor, given that actors can spend a decade playing 007. As we wait for news, it is interesting to cast our minds back to a time when the film series was in the doldrums – before Pierce Brosnan came along it had been failing, propelled downwards by Timothy Dalton’s  License to Kill  (1989), the least successful o...
