England's Lewis-Skelly agrees new Arsenal deal
England defender Myles Lewis-Skelly has agreed a new contract at left-back, whose current deal expires in 2026, has been in talks with the Gunners over recent months. The 18-year-old has now agreed the outline of an extended agreement, which will see him commit his future to the Gunners once signed. It is reward for a breakthrough campaign last season, which saw Lewis-Skelly make 39 appearances in all competitions. He made his debut against Manchester City in September and was mainly used at left-back, despite emerging through Arsenal's academy as a midfielder. Lewis-Skelly's performances earned him a call-up to the full England squad in March, having previously been capped from Under-16 through to U19 scored in a 2-0 win against Albania at Wembley, becoming the youngest player in history to score on their full Three Lions debut. Lewis-Skelly's performances last term saw him nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award earlier this week, alongside Morgan Rogers, Liam Delap, Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez and Ethan Nwaneri.

Liverpool must make world-record Neymar-style bid for Newcastle to even contemplate Alexander Isak transfer
NEWCASTLE remain determined to keep Alexander Isak - and it would take a Neymar-style bid for them to even contemplate cashing in. Speculation is mounting again that Liverpool are readying a swoop for Toon 27-goal top scorer. 2 SunSport understands there has been no official contact from the Reds yet over a potential deal. However, even if there is, Newcastle's stance has not changed one bit. And even talk of £150million being enough to land the Swede is way off the mark. In fact, it would take a bid near the £200m world-record Paris Saint-Germain forked out to Barcelona for Neymar to even get a response. Despite all of the recent rumours, Newcastle still plan to hold talks with Isak's camp over a new deal for their star. His contract at St. James' Park runs until 2028 and they are under no pressure financially to cash in either after coming through their recent PSR issues. Isak has made no murmurs about leaving for Anfield either, saying he is focused on playing. The Swede said: 'I don't know much, to be honest. From within the club and from our side there are absolutely no discussions. It's just full focus on playing for me. 2 There's not much to say, really. I've commented on my situation and my security in Newcastle several times. 'It's been written how much I love the city and the club, how well I feel there. I'm not thinking about the future. I just want to perform for Newcastle. 'There is no reason for me to think about anything else (other than Newcastle). I feel incredibly comfortable at Newcastle. The only focus I have is on playing.' Liverpool have had a busy start to the transfer window, bringing in Jeremie Frimpong as a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Collins seeks 'Scotland v England' bout with Ball
Scottish featherweight Nathaniel Collins is targeting an all-British world title showdown with Nick Ball at the turn of the Glasgow fighter is coming off a stunning win over Scottish rival Lee McGregor at the Hyrdo last month and expects to be back fighting in his home city in 28, hopes that will be the springboard to a fight with WBA champion Ball who, like Collins, is promoted by Frank Warren's Queensberry."I just want to be cracking on to world titles now," Collins told BBC Scotland."It's easy for Queensberry to make world title fights because I'm a featherweight, they've got a world champion featherweight in Nick Ball." And he added: "He's fighting in Saudi Arabia in the next couple of months as well so by the end of the year, or starting next year, that's an easy fight to make."An all British, Scotland v England world title fight - it makes sense."Liverpool fighter Ball, 28, is unbeaten in 23 professional fights and claimed the WBA title with a thrilling win over Raymond Ford in Riyadh last has also yet to taste defeat in his 17 contests as a pro and has no fears of taking on a man considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the UK."We were meant to fight a couple of years ago for the British title and things didn't work out that way and then I've been calling for that ever since," Collins said."Now's the time for it because he's having a great career and building a lot of attention, I'm starting to build a lot of attention, so hopefully within the next six months that becomes a thing that comes to fruition."Collins described his appearance on the Josh Taylor v Ekow Essuman undercard, in which he dropped McGregor three times and stopped him in the fourth round, as "the best night ever".Now as he prepares to headline his own show in September back in Glasgow, Collins wants to ensure big fight nights in Scotland continue to be a feature on the boxing calendar."That was the goal when I first signed with Queensbury, I said I want to bring big nights back to Scotland and Glasgow," he said."I grew up going to Ricky Burns' fights and that made me want to do this. It was spoken about before the last fight, the winner of me and Lee's fight would continue to carry the torch as they say, and hopefully I can keep doing it."
