Real Madrid, Liverpool, Man Utd and PSG among clubs interested in Leny Yoro: who is he?

Leny Yoro is currently plying his trade with Lille OSC in Ligue 1, and as reported by RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins, is on the radar of some of Europe’s heavyweights, including Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.

The France U21 international, who is only 18, has become a key part of Lille’s defence this season, playing 17 times in Ligue 1 and scoring twice. RMC Sport report that the player has a contract extension offer but he is unlikely to accept it.

Represented by Mendes

The talented centre-back’s current deal with Lille runs until 30 June 2025, and although he is unlikely to depart the club this month, a summer move could be on the cards. Yoro has played for France at U17, U18, U19 and U21 level and is currently represented by agent Jorge Mendes.

The 18-year-old has established himself as a starter at Lille and this season is the first-choice centre-back alongside the experienced Samuel Umtiti. His 1.90m frame also makes him a threat from set pieces and with so much interest from around Europe, his time in France could be soon coming to an end.

Marquez didn’t want to battle Martin in Qatar to not hurt his MotoGP title hopes

Martin endured a torrid grand prix in Qatar on Sunday, as a problem with his rear tyre meant he struggled to 10th while title rival Francesco Bagnaia finished second. The Pramac rider is now 21 points adrift of Bagnaia in the championship, having cut his lead down to seven 24 hours earlier after winning the sprint, and later raged against Michelin for 'stealing' the title from him. Martin found himself at one stage fighting with Honda's Marquez before the eight-time world champion eventually finished down in 11th. Speaking after the race, Marquez said he could see Martin was struggling with rear grip but didn't want to fight him too hard as the points gained wouldn't have "changed my life". "I did the whole race behind Martin," Marquez said. "At the beginning I saw that he was pulling hard and we were catching the group a little bit, but then I saw that he was starting to lose quite a bit of speed compare

How Tottenham could line up with Timo Werner

Image
Tottenham Hotspur are signing Timo Werner on an initial loan deal until the end of the season. What a sentence. Go back two-and-a-half years to when Chelsea won the Champions League. Their starting front three now all play for rival clubs, with Kai Havertz at Arsenal and Mason Mount at Manchester United. What's even stranger about Spurs' move for Werner is that, six months removed from the soul-crushing sale of Harry Kane, the mood has hardly ever been better in N17. Ange Postecoglou has been on the lookout for another versatile forward and in Werner he has a player capable of filling various holes despite his deficiencies. Where will Werner play for Tottenham? Here are the different ways he could be deployed. Coming in off the left Werner has pace to burn / Masashi Hara/GettyImages Werner's most likely route into the starting XI comes on the left wing, particularly with Son Heung-min currently away at the Asian Cup with South Korea.
