After Assane Diao, Como look at another Betis winger
Assane Diao has made a great impact at Como. Signed in January from Real Betis, the 19 year old had 9 goal contributions in 15 games for Cesc Fabregas's side in the league in 2024/25. This signing was a great fit for Como's project which is young and focused on the long term, without extravagant spending. As per reports from TMW, Como might once again approach Betis to sign another of their forwards. Jesus Rodriguez has piqued their interest but Aston Villa are ahead in the race. Como's main target seems to be Abde Ezzalzouli. The fiery winger was at his best in the UEFA Conference League final where he scored as well. When he was taken off, Betis lost control of the game. Advertisement Abde is already a Moroccan international and was at Barcelona for a few years. While he is not the finished article, he is a terrific dribbler and it feels like there's still a level he can go up. Kaulik Mitra l GIFN

Dele Alli's girlfriend Cindy Kimberly unfollows England star on Instagram and removes all photos with him
CINDY KIMBERLY has erased all trace of boyfriend Dele Alli from her Instagram account. The stunning model has deleted all pictures featuring the footballer, as well as unfollowing him. 10 10 10 Dele, 29, went public with his relationship with Cindy in June 2022, and the couple have regularly shared snaps together. Cindy had been a big support to the former Tottenham star as he opened up on his traumatic childhood in 2023. Dele revealed in an interview with Gary Neville that he had been addicted to sleeping pills and was sexually abused during his youth. She also showed her support for the former England international after he made the move to Serie A side Como in January. But Cindy, 26, has now removed all sign of the midfielder from her Instagram account. This included one post of them together in Como that was initially uploaded in April. Dele's account still features posts of the two together, and he still follows her on the platform. It comes after the couple had separate trips as Dele went to Ibiza and Cindy visited Morocco for work. Meanwhile, Dele made his first appearance on a football pitch in two years as he featured for Como against AC Milan in March. The game was a disaster for the former Everton ace as he was sent off after just 10 minutes. 10 10 10 Since then, he has not made another appearance for the club but has been backed by manager Cesc Fabregas. The Spaniard has insisted that he does not want to put "extra pressure" on Dele. The Arsenal legend believes that Dele will be back "in shape" for the 2025/26 campaign. Como will continue in Serie A for next season after surviving relegation in their first season back since 2003. Dele will have plenty of competition for playing time as he will battle with the likes of Assane Diao, Anastasios Douvikas and Maxence Caqueret. 10
