Liverpool signs Barcelona defender on loan

Liverpool has completed the signing of Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo on loan, aiming to bolster a defense that conceded the most goals (53) among the Premier League's top five teams last season. The 27-year-old Uruguayan international will join a Liverpool squad that has already been strengthened this summer with defender Jeremy Jacquet.

Araujo, who joined Barcelona from Uruguayan clubs Rentistas and Boston River in 2018, comes to Liverpool after the Merseyside club reportedly paid nearly 800 million kroner to secure his signature. Liverpool finished fifth in the Premier League last season, significantly behind league winner Arsenal who conceded only 27 goals. afnews.co.za

• Newcastle have made ambitious signings this summer

Jordan Nobbs says winning promotion to the Women’s Super League with Newcastle would be “job done” for her footballing wishlist and would fulfil a personal ambition to see a club from the north-east play in the top tier.

Nobbs, who has 71 England caps, was born in Stockton-on-Tees and believes women’s football in the region would benefit immensely from top-flight representation. Newcastle finished sixth in WSL2 last term, 11 points behind the title winners, Birmingham, and nine points off the playoffs, but this summer they have made their promotion hopes clear with a flurry of high-calibre signings from the top division, including the striker Martha Thomas from Tottenham and the Liverpool duo Leanne Kiernan and Gemma Evans.

Miltiadis Tentoglou alegremente despeluzado, ojos dormilones, salta como los ángeles (8,26m); el cabello abundante, primoroso corte, de Mattia Furlani, se eriza espantado cuando cae tras su primer salto, desequilibrado y chillando, el isquio de su muslo derecho quebrado, y Eusebio Cáceres, maestro de todo, y un niño de nuevo, vuela con el viento (+3,1) que le empuja en el aire como haría con una cometa después de una batida perfecta, muy ajustada, salta 8,24m y exclama: “Cuando ya tienes 35 años te dicen que el resto de tu vida de atleta es un regalo, pero para mí es un nuevo comienzo”. Luego, carga su mochila y se marcha de la pista charlando alegre con el griego, doble campeón olímpico y favorito para sumar un cuarto título europeo a los dos olímpicos y al mundial que ya ha ganado.
