J. League 3 Overview

Former England international Gabby Agbonlahor has backed Lionel Messi to win the Premier League and Champions League if he signs for Aston Villa. The pundit also tipped the Argentina captain, who recently became the all-time leading goalscorer in the global tournament with 18 goals, to continue playing at the highest level and grace the 2030 World Cup at the age of 43.

Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly locked in a transfer battle for Bournemouth sensation Alex Scott, who has seen his stock soar after a brilliant Premier League campaign. The 22-year-old was a standout performer for the Cherries last term and narrowly missed out on a spot in Thomas Tuchel's England squad for the World Cup.

Chelsea have reportedly slapped a massive price tag on midfielder Enzo Fernandez as Real Madrid ramp up their interest in the Argentina international. The World Cup winner has emerged as a primary target for Jose Mourinho as the Portuguese coach looks to overhaul the squad at Santiago Bernabeu.

Former Chelsea captain John Terry has expressed his immense frustration after being overlooked for the interim managerial role at Stamford Bridge twice last season. Speaking out about the club's decision to appoint inexperienced academy coach Calum McFarlane over him, Terry insists that no one at the club possessed better qualifications or a deeper connection to the team.
