Gusto has verbally agreed to personal terms on a deal at Stamford Bridge, likely spread over many years, but Lyon are insisting on keeping the player on loan for the rest of the season.

In a battle of two of the biggest hitters in the women's game, Sabalenka seized the initiative after dropping the opening set to win 4-6 6-3 6-4 on Rod Laver Arena. A year ago, Sabalenka exited the tournament in the fourth round having served 56 double faults, and the 24-year-old's success comes after she remodelled her service action and learned to embrace a calmer mindset. "I think it's even more enjoyable, I would say, after all those tough matches," said Sabalenka, who had lost three times in slam semi-finals before making the breakthrough here.

The former Ostersunds and Notts County manager was appointed last May to steer Rovers through their debut season in the third tier, but won just five of his 28 league games to prompt owner and chairman Dale Vince to make a change.

Burchnall, who managed Viking in Norway before replacing Graham Potter at Swedish side Ostersunds in 2018, led Notts County to the Vanarama National League play-offs last season before agreeing to replace Watford-bound Rob Edwards at Forest Green.

With all the focus on Frank Lampard and David Moyes ahead of the 'El Sackio' last weekend, nobody has really been paying much attention to those managers bubbling under top spot in the sacking market. Lampard was binned by Everton on Monday afternoon and West Ham boss Moyes rather predictably took over as favourite at 11/10. Leeds boss Jesse Marsch is next in line at 6/1, followed by Bournemouth head coach Gary O'Neil at an appealing 7/1. Defeats to Arsenal and Manchester City won't have helped his cause, but usually a victory injects a bit of positivity into the market.
