He had a heart attack at his apartment in Spain this morning. “On behalf of the family, this has come as a huge shock to everybody. We are all very upset. He was a legendary footballer but he was also an extremely nice person.” Nobody in the history of football has been defined by their price tag in the way Trevor Francis was. Born in Plymouth, Francis joined Birmingham as a schoolboy and was the Blues’ then-youngest debutant in 1970 aged 16, a record only beaten by current England and Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham in August 2019. He went on to score 119 goals in 280 league appearances before his history-making switch to Nottingham Forest.

After Forest’s two European Cup wins, he joined Manchester City before having spells with Italian clubs Sampdoria and Atalanta. A season in Scotland with Rangers followed before he joined QPR, where he also became player-manager. He later performed a similar role at Sheffield Wednesday and helped lead them to both the FA Cup and League Cup finals in 1993, losing both to Arsenal. Francis retired as a player in 1994, shortly before his 40th birthday, having made 632 appearances and scored 235 goals. He then returned to Birmingham as manager between 1996 and 2001 and guided the Blues to the 2001 League Cup final where they lost to Liverpool on penalties. After leaving St Andrew’s, his final managerial post was at Crystal Palace where he spent two years. He also worked as a media pundit with Sky Sports and BT Sport.

I’m really looking forward to the future with Arsenal. “With Mikel and how he works, the squad, how young everyone is, the energy around the club and also the challenge of getting Arsenal back to where they belong, that means a lot to me. “I know the fans really want that. For me as a player, I’ve come here really hungry to have more success and to spend my best years at this great club. “I know he [Arteta] is going to get the best out of me. I know I’ve got more levels to go up in my game, and I feel like he’s the manager to take me to those next levels. I am really excited to be working with him.” Arteta told the club’s official website: “We’re really happy that Declan is joining us. He is a player with tremendous ability, who has been performing at a high level in the Premier League and for England for a number of seasons now. “Declan is bringing undoubted quality to the club and he is an exceptional talent who has the potential to be very successful here. “Declan has great experience in the Premier League at only 24 years old. He has captained a very good West Ham team and as we all saw, he recently lifted a European trophy. “The responsibility and role he has taken on has been very impressive and we are really excited that he is joining us.” Meanwhile, Arsenal sporting director Edu said: “Declan is a player with fantastic ability and a proven record at both club and international levels. The process of this transfer has been a big team effort with a clear plan, and we are so happy that Declan is joining us. “Declan is a high-quality, young international player who will add great strength to our squad, fitting so well into our strategy of competing with young talented players at the centre of our club. “It’s great that Declan will be joining up with Mikel, our coaches and his new teammates in good time ahead of the new season.”

Ailing football fan wills everything has to Neymar

An ailing football fan and lover of multi-millionaire football player, Neymar Jr. has willed everything he owns to the legendary player. The anonymous fan could not think of a more deserving recipient of his worldly goods than Neymar Jr. of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

Neymar Jr. of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) He said that beyond a love for the national team and for Brazil’s football legacy, he identified with Neymar, which led him to officially name the Brazil striker in his will. “I like Neymar, I identify with him a lot. I also suffer with defamation, I am also very family-oriented and the relationship with his father reminds me a lot of mine with my father, who has passed away,” the fan said in an interview. “I am not in very good health and, because of that, I really saw that I don’t have anyone to leave my things to… I wouldn’t want the government or relatives I don’t get along with to take my things.” The 30-year-old added that he had tried unsuccessfully to give his assets to the Brazil international before. But he pointed out that the will was a legal way to do so and the document was signed by a notary’s office in Porto Alegre. PSG’s Neymar is one of the world’s best-paid sportsmen, with estimated earnings of 85 million dollars for 2023, according to Forbes. “I know that, above all, he is not greedy, something a bit rare these days,” the fan said.
