From the World Cup to the award of the year

JJ Gabriel has been advised to not “do something silly” as he forces his way towards the exits at Manchester United. The 15-year-old wonderkid is ready to sever ties with the Red Devils while waiting on his competitive senior debut. He has been linked with leading sides across Europe, with Emile Heskey reacting to that saga during an exclusive interview with GOAL.

Brighton midfielder Chema Andres has enjoyed a blistering start to life on the south coast following his summer arrival from the Bundesliga. The Spanish youngster scored his first goal for the Seagulls during an emphatic 3-0 victory against Arsenal, admitting that he cannot resist constantly rewatching footage sent over by his family and friends.

Arsenal face an anxious wait after Kai Havertz was forced off with a suspected hamstring injury during Germany’s 1-1 draw with the Netherlands. The setback marred Jurgen Klopp’s first match in charge of the national team, which also saw Jamal Musiala withdraw before kick-off.
