England will look to sign off from international duty with a much improved performance against Senegal this week.
The Three Lions take on Senegal in an international friendly on the back of an unconvincing win over Andorra at the weekend. Harry Kane's second half goal was enough for all three World Cup qualification points, but Thomas Tuchel was critical of the display afterwards.

Senegal, 'the Lions of Teranga' warmed up for this friendly with a 1-1 draw against the Republic of Ireland on Friday. They were staring defeat in the face until Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr equalised inside the final 10 minutes.
Just a second ever meeting between the two nations awaits as Tuchel looks to extend his perfect winning record as England boss to four games.
Date, kick-off time and venue
England vs Senegal is scheduled for a 7.45pm BST kick-off on Tuesday, 10 June, 2025.

England vs Senegal team news
England expect to have Bukayo Saka fit after a minor fitness issue kept him out of the win over Andorra. The fact that the Arsenal star was present for the pre-match media conference was the first good sign regarding his availability.

Meanwhile, Tuchel has said he will name a much-changed team on Tuesday so that could see the likes of Declan Rice, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Eberechi Eze and Anthony Gordon all come into the starting line-up.
Senegal came through their friendly against the Republic of Ireland with a clean bill of health still intact and head coach Pape Thiaw could had starts to Sarr, Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson and ex-Blues pair Edouard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly.

England vs Senegal prediction
For the first time in Tuchel's short reign as England manager, a tough test awaits. Regardless of the performances against Albania, Latvia and Andorra, the Three Lions delivered victories having been overwhelming favourites for all three fixtures.

This clash is a bit more harder to call as Senegal are in good form and have players to cause England problems. Still, a step up in opposition should see an improvement in performance and a slender win.

Klopp praises Liverpool's record Wirtz deal in simple message
Jurgen Klopp's Verdict on Florian Wirtz Sums Up Liverpool's Bold New Era Florian Wirtz arrives as Liverpool's new centrepiece Liverpool's summer transfer window has exploded into life with the arrival of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, a £116 million acquisition that does more than just break British transfer records. It marks a shift in tone, a signal of intent, and a reaffirmation of ambition from a club freshly crowned Premier League champions. Advertisement While Arne Slot prepares for his second season at Anfield with the trophy already tucked under his arm, it is this move for Wirtz that may define what comes next. Jurgen Klopp, watching from the wings, sees something special. When asked for his thoughts on the transfer, he needed only three words: 'It will be really, really great.' And then, just to ensure no one misunderstood, he added: 'I'm sure of it.' Photo: @LFC Klopp's legacy and Liverpool's evolution Klopp may no longer be patrolling the Anfield touchline, but his influence lingers in the DNA of this club. The German's verdict on Wirtz was more than a polite nod to his countryman's talent. Speaking to RTL, he said: 'It's very difficult to strengthen them when you're champions. But Liverpool have managed that. They've signed an exceptional talent in Florian Wirtz.' Advertisement It is a glowing endorsement, and from a man who knows exactly what it takes to thrive on Merseyside. Klopp saw the evolution coming. He spoke often of leaving the club in a position of strength. That Liverpool can now attract a player courted by Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid is evidence of that vision bearing fruit. Wirtz chooses Liverpool over European royalty The magnitude of this move cannot be overstated. Wirtz, only 22 but already a 31-cap Germany international, had his pick of Europe's giants. Yet the call of Anfield proved irresistible. 'I just thought that it was the right point in my career to make the next step and of course I wanted to get to a club that is from the top three in the world, and in my opinion Liverpool was one of them,' Wirtz explained. Advertisement That conviction did not emerge overnight. It was shaped by conversations and trust, a process that began quietly but quickly grew persuasive. 'Yeah, I just saw myself in the best hands in Liverpool. I was really convinced by the people here, by the idea, and everything what the club offers me was really good. And in the end [it was] also easy to be excited for me to come to Liverpool.' He acknowledged the difficulty of turning his back on German football, but the persistent clarity of vision at Anfield won him over. 'Every time I spoke to one of the people from the club I felt like, 'this is the place I want to be' and so in the end I was really 100 percent convinced I want to join Liverpool and it was the best choice.' More than a transfer, it is a statement There will be questions, naturally. Can Wirtz live up to the £116 million price tag? Will he thrive in the Premier League's unforgiving tempo? But those feel secondary to the bigger picture. This move is not reactive, not scattergun. It is measured, ambitious, and rooted in belief. Advertisement Liverpool, with Arne Slot at the helm and Klopp's words still echoing, have placed their faith in a footballer with the intelligence, flair and maturity to become the new axis of their midfield. The price may be headline-grabbing, but the strategy behind it is anything but impulsive. And in the background, with a quiet smile and those three telling words, Jurgen Klopp watches on.

The Business of Football: Why Tottenham have not been bought, and how much are Wrexham worth?
Among the many things this column is waiting for — a result in the Manchester City vs Premier League cage fight, Fenway Sports Group to buy a Spanish team, Gianni Infantino to give a press conference — none has been imminent for quite as long as a takeover at Tottenham Hotspur. Much like soccer has been the fastest-growing sport in the United States for half a century, Spurs have been the next big English club on the block for a decade. Advertisement In that time, Spurs have built the best multi-purpose stadium in Europe and sold lots of shirts, but won only one trophy. During the same period, the Premier League has become majority-owned by American billionaires and Tottenham's billionaire former majority-owner, British businessman Joe Lewis, has put his shares into a family trust, pleaded guilty to insider trading, and celebrated his 88th birthday. This is a fruit ripe for picking and every investor, private-equity firm and sovereign wealth fund looking for a prize asset in the world's most popular domestic football league has kicked the tyres at Spurs, taken the tour and run the numbers. So, why hasn't anyone bought them yet? Well, one big reason is that the club has been run by Lewis' business partner, Daniel Levy, since 2001 and he owns just over a quarter of the club's shares. Most experts believe Spurs are worth about £3billion ($4bn), or perhaps a bit more now that they are back in the Champions League and the likes of Beyonce are filling the stadium over the summer. But Levy wants £3.75billion, another $1billion at today's exchange rate. Quite the gap, then, but not so wide that you cannot start haggling, which is why the Spurs takeover story re-emerges every few months and will continue to do so until someone hits Levy's number, which may have to come down a tad when Joe Lewis' family decide they want their inheritances. None of this is particularly shocking and has been widely reported, but The Athletic has been told by several potential suitors that there are two under-reported factors which may influence where this meeting of minds will come. The first is that not everybody sees the same potential in Tottenham — the north London district, not the club — that Levy and Lewis did. Spurs are by far the biggest attraction in an area that has not seen much gentrification. It is also usually an hour's taxi ride from the West End hotels and restaurants that the Premier League's overseas ownership class enjoy. Advertisement And the second is the £775million in private placement notes that Levy used to refinance the cost of building the stadium. The size of that debt is not the problem, as the additional revenue from the club's new home is more than meeting the interest payments. The issue is that Levy, thanks to his good timing and great salesmanship, got a sweet deal when those notes were sold to asset managers, investment firms and pension funds in 2021. Spurs issued nine tranches of notes, with a range of repayment dates from 2035 to 2051 and interest rates between 2.49 per cent and 3.02 per cent. According to the club's most recent accounts, Spurs had total borrowings of £851.5m at the end of June 2024, at an average rate of 2.79 per cent and average maturity of almost 19 years. This means Spurs are paying an interest rate that is lower than inflation. So, in financial terms, they are not really paying any interest at all. This is great for Spurs but terrible for everyone who holds that debt, which is why they are all hoping for a takeover, too, so they can exercise their change-of-control clauses, get their money back and do something else with it. The club's new owners would have no problem finding other people — and perhaps even the same people — with whom to refinance the debt. It will just cost them about £20million a year more at the current rates, which adds up over 19 years. However, neither of those two issues — Spurs' location or Levy's luck with the interest rate cycle — are permanent or insurmountable. London is a city of villages that have ebbed and flowed in appeal over the centuries, and any extra interest payments could be covered by a naming rights deal. Interest rates are also meant to be coming down. So, sit tight, takeover watchers. Spurs will be bought by someone, at some point. Not the boldest of predictions, maybe, but it is the best we can do. On the subject of valuation gaps, Spurs' is a hairline fracture compared to the gaping chasm at Wrexham or, more accurately, the debate about Wrexham's valuation on this column's favourite social-media channel, LinkedIn. It all started earlier this month with a Bloomberg report headlined 'Wrexham AFC Weighs Raising Funds at £350 Million Valuation'. Citing unnamed sources, the report said the newly promoted Championship club were talking to advisers about selling a minority stake to boost the playing budget and pay for a new stand. Advertisement Sensible stuff, right? And entirely in keeping with what the club's owners have said they would do and — in fact — have already done, as they sold a stake to the New York-based Allyn family last October. But that deal was at a valuation of £100million ($135million). OK, Wrexham were still a League One side back then, but it was a record for a third-tier side. So are we really suggesting they have more than tripled in value in less than nine months? The answer is of course not… or perhaps, because Wrexham are unlike any other club in the English football pyramid. First, they are Welsh. Second, they are the subject of a very popular Disney-made docuseries. And third, and we feel this column deserves a pat on the back for not mentioning this sooner, they are owned by Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds. For those among you who only have time in their lives for football, McElhenney is an American TV actor, producer and writer, and Reynolds is one of the world's best-paid actors and most recognisable faces. They bought the then-fifth-tier club for £2m in 2021, but three straight promotions, all charted in heart-warming fashion by Disney's cameras, have brought them to the gates of the Premier League. But come on, £350m?!? That's not far off half a billion U.S. dollars. Most English Football League clubs are lucky to be valued at double their annual turnover. In Wrexham's case, that would be £70m based on last season's earnings or £100m on next season's projected earnings. The top Premier League clubs are valued at about five times their turnover, which reflects the league's mega media-rights deals, as well as their huge stadiums, global fanbases and access to European football. For Wrexham's touted price tag to make sense, you would need to apply a revenue multiple that only the most popular American franchises, in the biggest leagues, can command. Advertisement But Wrexham is not Los Angeles, and the Championship is not the National Football League. Hence the arguments on LinkedIn. Of those, the most interesting has been between Alexander Jarvis, the founder of Abu Dhabi-based Blackbridge Sports LLC, and former Charlton manager and Southampton vice-chairman Les Reed. Jarvis, who recently advised an American group on their purchase of a small stake in Portugal's Benfica, among other deals, has written two posts about the Wrexham valuation, calling it 'a total clown show', 'football's most outrageous over-valuation', and 'a gamble on celebrity and hype that completely ignores the hard realities of running a football club in the Championship'. Plenty of people have replied to him saying they agree, including William Storey, who is best known for a collapsed sponsorship deal with F1 team Haas and several failed bids for football teams. He might not be the best referee, then. Reed, who has been Wrexham's 'football strategy consultant' since 2021, hit back with a post that pointed out Jarvis & Co 'have never actually experienced running a club, let alone a club in the Championship', before noting that Southampton's former owners, the Liebherr family, eventually sold their shares in the club for close to 10 times their initial investment, which is impressive but not quite the point Jarvis was making about multiples of turnover. Reed continued by raising the examples of Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton, three clubs who have invested heavily to become 'sustainable' Premier League clubs, and asked 'why would serious investors not want a stake' in Wrexham's 'journey' towards the same destination. So, who is right? The guy trying to earn his crust by advising on football takeovers, or the chap who works for Wrexham? Well, according to this column's panel of secret football finance experts, it depends on whether Wrexham should be valued as a regular football club or if they have transcended that status and are now a global entertainment brand. If it is the former, they are worth about £100m, which is the valuation the Allyns came in at. If it is the latter, well, why not? Advertisement However, even that more conservative valuation is highly vulnerable to what is known in business as 'key person risk'. If Rob and Ryan are struck by lightning, get bored, fall out, get sick or lose a court case, will Wrexham look so transcendent? It is a good debate and there is only one way to settle it: the price someone actually pays for a stake in the club. While very few clubs are as exposed to key person risk as Wrexham, all are vulnerable to any weakening in demand for the right to broadcast or stream their matches. If you had to pick one reason valuations have kept rising in the big leagues on both sides of the Atlantic, it is that live sport has been a must-have for TV executives. This means their sports counterparts have only needed two rival broadcasters in any market to create an auction. So, this month's news that New York-based media giant Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) is splitting into two separate companies has prompted an outpouring of speculation about what it might mean for sport. So far, there is no real consensus. For those who have missed this story, WBD was formed in 2022 by an expensive merger between two multinational media conglomerates, WarnerMedia and Discovery. But the company's bosses have now decided to put all the cool, still-growing stuff in one company, Streaming & Studios, so it is not held back by the profitable-but-in-decline TV channels. The latter are being boxed up in a company called Global Networks and, just in case you did not work out which one of these two entities is the sexy one, it will be run by WBD's head beancounter, while the chief executive is getting the company that makes Batman, Harry Potter and Game of Thrones. And just to underline that message, all of WBD's merger-related debt is being passed to the dowdier daughter. Advertisement If there is any agreement on what this means for the sports industry, it is that any impact will be felt first in the United States, where WBD's streaming platform Max has struggled to find its place in a congested market, despite having a decent range of sports to offer. Does this mean that sport is no longer a must-have for any self-respecting media offering, or has WBD just packaged it badly? The main sports brand is TNT Sports, which is joining the gang in managed decline at Global Networks. It has been part of the Max bundle but has recently lost its NBA rights after a 40-year connection with the league. It still has some baseball, college basketball, ice hockey and motorsport, but it does not have any NFL, so it is more of a nice-to-have than a must-have for most American sports fans. The picture in the UK is a little different, as TNT Sports does have what most British armchair sports fans consider to be essential viewing, namely a package of Premier League rights and near-exclusive rights to UEFA's club competitions. TNT Sports acquired the football when it formed a 50/50 joint venture with BT Sports in 2022, which united BT's menu of football, rugby and assorted North American pastimes with Eurosport's smorgasbord of cycling, tennis and the snowy stuff we watch once every four years in the Winter Olympics. And then, just to confuse you even further, WBD's streaming offer in the UK and Europe has been Discovery+, although it has started to turn that off and replace it with Max. Oh, and BT has also been trying, unsuccessfully, to sell its 50 per cent of TNT Sports, which really means that WBD has declined to pay BT's price for the rest of the business. To make some sense of all this, this column asked four media analysts for their takes on the WBD split. Dan Harraghy of Ampere Analysis does not see any impact for WBD's UK operations until HBO Max launches in early 2026. For him, the real lesson of this tale is the tension 'between the high value placed on sports rights by linear TV players' and the negative outlook for traditional broadcasting, which would explain why so many leagues have stopped seeing growth in the value of their rights. Even the mighty Premier League has had to throw in more content, spread out over the weekend, to get the same amount of money from its domestic partners. Advertisement Independent analyst Paolo Pescatore thinks the split will highlight something he has been saying for a while: TNT Sports is 'an entity in slow, painful decline'. He thinks the joint venture was 'poorly executed', with subscriber numbers falling and losses rising, which is why nobody has bought that 50 per cent stake in the business. Pescatore also believes the rising cost of watching sport, coupled with confusion over where to watch it, has driven the rise in digital piracy. Sports rights consultant Pierre Maes said he cannot see signs of any positive strategy for building an attractive streaming product in the UK and Europe, and dismisses the WBD split as a 'desperate move to calm down the stock market'. But the BBC's former head of sports rights, David Murray, is a bit more optimistic. 'My initial view is that it's probably a good thing for sport,' he said. 'I never got their strategy of wanting to bundle the likes of HBO with TNT Sport. So, in theory, the Discovery+ proposition can be a lot more focused, which should keep the price lower and allow it to cut through more than it would have done as part of a broader bundle.' Lower prices and more focus on providing a great sports product should be a benefit to consumers and sports rights-holders, as digital piracy is probably the number one threat to professional sport as we know it. Speaking of good times gone bad, we cannot have an edition of this column without a new cautionary tale about multi-club ownership (MCO). This one concerns Irish club Drogheda United, who have just lost their appeal against a UEFA decision to prevent them taking part in next season's Conference League, a prize they thought they had earned with their FAI Cup victory last November, because their American owners Trivela also have a stake in Danish side Silkeborg, who qualified for the same competition. Under UEFA rules, two teams with common ownership cannot play in the same competition and any clash is avoided by removing the team that finished lowest in its league. In this case, UEFA looked at Drogheda United's ninth-place finish in 2024 versus Silkeborg's seventh-place finish this year. Trivela took its case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, claiming that neither the Football Association of Ireland nor UEFA told the Alabama-based group that European football's governing body had moved forward the date for owners of MCO groups to create enough separation between their teams so they can potentially compete against each other. Advertisement Until this year, owners had until the start of June to dilute their shareholdings in one club or put all of their shares in a blind trust, but UEFA shifted that deadline to the start of March. Drogheda United, of course, are not the only side to miss this memo, as FA Cup winners Crystal Palace are still waiting to find out if they will be allowed to take their place in the Europa League alongside their co-owner John Textor's French side Lyon. The two cases are not identical, as there is no dispute that Drogheda and Silkeborg are controlled by the same owner, whereas Textor has never had that much sway at Palace, but Trivela's travails demonstrate that UEFA is getting increasingly strict with MCO groups. 'We are totally gutted by this outcome for the club, its players, its staff and its supporters,' Trivela co-founder Ben Boycott tells The Athletic. 'To all of them, I'm deeply sorry that we're going through this. We genuinely felt we had a compelling case before CAS, a point somewhat reinforced in the observation that this appears to have been a split (2-1) decision among the arbitrators.' Trivela has committed to filling the €500,000 (£425,000) hole in Drogheda United's budget left by the removal of European football, but is still processing what Boycott believes was a 'very harsh decision which ignored a number of mitigating factors and months of good-faith efforts on our part to come to a solution with UEFA'. It has been a tough few weeks for Trivela as their English outfit, Walsall, were 12 points clear at the top of League Two with 11 games to go, only to lose form and end up in the play-offs, where they rallied to beat Chesterfield in the semi-finals, only to lose 1-0 at Wembley to AFC Wimbledon. More clubs equal more opportunities for disappointment. And let us wrap up this edition of the Business of Football with another column staple: an update on the arrival of English football's independent regulator. We will keep this short and sweet — it really is coming now. For the first time since this process started in 2021, something has happened ahead of schedule. On Tuesday, the Football Governance Bill passed through the committee stage of the legislative process, without requiring the three further days that had been scheduled for debate. Advertisement The next step is the report stage, then the third reading of the bill in the House of Commons, before moving to a final consideration of amendments and royal assent. But with the Conservative Party's Premier League-backed rearguard action running out of puff, the bill's supporters are confident it will become law before the politicians break up for their summer recess on July 22. Which means we can all start moaning about the regulator's shortcomings from next season.
