Des Moines Menace Overview

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been warned that his starting berth at Real Madrid is under significant threat ahead of incoming manager Jose Mourinho’s arrival. Former Premier League striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink believes incoming full-back Denzel Dumfries could dislodge the Englishman if the tactical setup prioritises defensive solidity over attacking flair.

Leon Goretzka's immediate future after the World Cup remains undecided. Nevertheless, one German second-tier club already knows how it wants him to eventually wind down his career in a few years' time.

A deal for Ismael Saibari is expected to be announced shortly. An agreement has reportedly already been reached with Nathaniel Brown. Moreover, FC Bayern are said to be in pole position for a third target player.

Real Madrid are set to complete the signing of Denzel Dumfries from Inter after activating his €20 million release clause. The Dutch full-back is undergoing medical examinations in the Netherlands today, having been suspended for his national team's friendly against Algeria. An official announcement is expected following the upcoming presidential elections at the Bernabeu.
