Barcelona-linked striker set to complete 30 million move to Bundesliga clubWith FC Barcelona scouring the market for a new centre-forward, Julian Alvarez has been their absolute priority. However, the Blaugrana have been keeping an eye on alternatives in case the Atletico Madrid does not arrive. One such backup option was TSG Hoffenheims Fisnik Asllani, who has now slipped away from the La Liga champions.Asllani headed to RB LeipzigIndeed, according to Sky Sports (h/t SPORT), the Kosovo international is all set to sign for Bundesliga club RB Leipzig imminent.yAsllani is scheduled to undergo his medical examinations today ahead of completing his transfer from Hoffenheim.Headed to Leipzig.

(Photo by Alex Grimm/Getty Images)The Hoffenheim striker attracted attention because of both his potential and his relatively affordable release clause of 30 million.He was never the clubs first-choice target, but given the state of the striker market, Barcelonas technical department stepped up its scouting and gathered more information on his situation.There were also contacts between the parties. Hansi Flick received very positive reports on the player, and Bara were aware that Asllani was extremely keen on joining the club.The Kosovan international has never hidden his admiration for Barcelona. In recent months, he repeatedly hinted at his affection for the Catalan club through activity on social media, fuelling hopes that he could one day wear the Blaugrana shirt.For now, however, that dream has been put on hold. Instead, the Kosovo international will continue his career with RB Leipzig, bringing Barcelonas interest in the striker to an end.

Arteta provides worrying injury update on Arsenal 19yoMikel Arteta has provided a worrying update on Arsenal youngster Louie Copley, with the player seemingly suffering a knee injury against Real Betis.Photo by Charles McQuillan/Getty ImagesLouie Copley came on at half-time of Arsenals friendly match against Real Betis on Wednesday night, but just 10 minutes later he was limping from the field supported by medical personnel.Initial analysis of the footage suggested the youngster had suffered a knee injury, and Mikel Arteta confirmed afterwards that the situation doesnt look good.Probably were going to have [an update] tomorrow, Arteta began. It doesnt look good, the mechanism is not too positive, the symptoms that he already has either. Lets hope that tomorrow the news is better than we hope.Photo via Arsenal.comThe setback comes at a very frustrating moment for Copley, who has been making his breakthrough into senior football throughout 2026.The midfielder went out on loan to League Two Crawley Town earlier this year, and he helped the team to avoid relegation. His loan managers Scott Lindsey and Colin Kazim-Richards repeatedly sung his praises, and the only blot on his spell was a couple of weeks-long injury absences.The 19-year-old has since been heavily involved in Arsenals first-team pre-season, playing out of position as a right-back. With Jurrien Timber still not available and Ben White only recently back from injury, its been important to have options in that role.Photo via Arsenal on TwitterSadly, it now looks like Copley faces a spell on the sidelines. Arsenal have other youth players capable of filling in at right-back, so the only concern should be the youngsters long-term fitness. We wish him all the best.Photo by James Fearn/Getty Images

I had been through four Olympic cycles and had reached a stage where I needed to step away.The time away gave me the space I needed. It allowed me to explore new opportunities, take on different physical challenges and rediscover the enjoyment of training and competing without the pressure I had placed on myself for so many years.
