Football: England captain Harry Kane wants to end career as NFL kicker

LONDON (REUTERS) - England captain Harry Kane has his heart set on ending his playing career in the United States kicking field goals for a team in the National Football League (NFL).
Kane, the top scorer at last year's Fifa World Cup, has long been an admirer of American football and believes successfully switching sports late in his career will help him go down in history as one of the greatest sportsmen of all time.
The path from European football to the United States is a well-travelled one, with the likes of David Beckham, Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard all ending up in America's top soccer league (MLS), but Kane wants to blaze his own trail.
"(The desire to play in the NFL) is real," the Tottenham Hotspur striker told ESPN in an interview. "(It's) something that in 10 or 12 years I definitely want to try.
"If you play in the Premier League and the World Cup and you then play in the NFL, would you then be considered one of the greatest sportsmen ever?
"It goes back to that drive to be the best. Even if I download a game on my phone, can I be the best in the world?"
Kane is a fan of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and was at the Super Bowl this year, watching from the stands as the 41-year-old won his sixth title.

"We've had a similar path being doubted when we were younger. Maybe not being the best athletes as kids," Kane added. "Not many people thought he'd become that good or even play in the NFL and he went on to become the best ever.
"At the time, it gave me a real boost to say, look, anything is possible. If you have that self-belief and that drive and that hunger, you can do it."

Football: Leicester will fight to keep hold of stars, says Rodgers

LONDON (AFP) - Brendan Rodgers says Leicester will do all they can to ensure the club's best players remain at the King Power Stadium this summer.
Harry Maguire has again been linked with a move to Manchester United while there have been rumours about Manchester City and Arsenal interest in fellow England international Ben Chilwell.
However, Leicester manager Rodgers has vowed that the former Premier League champions will do their best to fend off any suitors.
"All I know is that when you have good players, they will always be of interest, and the squad is full of very talented players," Rodgers said.
"All I can do is create an environment so that they enjoy coming to work, where they feel that they can get better.
"From that, they grow and develop. And from then on, if players need to move on from that, it will always be a decision between the club and them."
"At this moment in time, all the players are happy and working well. We want to continue on that path. But knowing how the game works, clubs always lose players, but we will always fight to keep our best players."
Leicester, who host Bournemouth on Saturday, are currently 10th in the Premier League.

Football: Real Madrid to sign teenager Brahim Diaz from Man City, reports say

MADRID (REUTERS) - Real Madrid are set to sign Spain under-19 international forward Brahim Diaz from Manchester City for an initial fee of around Â£15 million (S$25 million), according to reports in British and Spanish media on Saturday (Jan 5).
Diaz, 19, played a total of only 50 minutes for City in the Premier League last season but has not featured in the league this campaign.
He has made three League Cup starts this term, scoring twice in a 2-0 win over Fulham in November.
The signing of Diaz is the latest example of Madrid's aggressive transfer policy in recent years which has seen them hoover up young Spanish talent with varying success.
They signed Alvaro Odriozola from Real Sociedad last June for a reported â‚¬30 million (S$45 million), although the 23-year-old has only started seven of 17 league games this term.
Dani Ceballos, a â‚¬16 million acquisition from Real Betis in 2017, has also failed to hold down a place in Santiago Solari's side, while Theo Hernandez, who switched from neighbours Atletico Madrid last year, is on loan at Real Sociedad.
Even leading Spain internationals such as Marco Asensio and Isco have struggled to make an impact for Madrid this season.
Asensio, signed from Real Mallorca in 2014, has only scored once in all competitions this term and is currently injured, while Isco, who joined the club from Malaga in 2013, has not started a league game since October.
Despite Madrid's recent targeting of the best young talent in the country, only three Spanish players started in Real's 2-2 Liga draw against Villarreal on Thursday.
Dani Carvajal, 26, and Lucas Vazquez, 27, both came through Madrid's youth set up, benefitting from loans at Bayer Leverkusen and Espanyol respectively, while Real captain Sergio Ramos, 32, was signed from Sevilla back in 2005.

Players nabbed in Spain fixing probe

MADRID â€¢ Spanish police yesterday arrested several footballers, former players and club executives as part of a match-fixing investigation.
Daily El Pais revealed former player Raul Bravo, who played for Real Madrid and was an ex-Spain international; Borja Fernandez, who retired earlier this month following the end of Valladolid's LaLiga season; and ex-Sevilla player Carlos Aranda were among those caught in the raid.
Others snared include Samuel Saiz, who had been on a season-long loan to Getafe from English Championship side Leeds, and Agustin Lasaosa, the president of recently relegated Huesca.
Juan Carlos Galindo Lanuza, the club's chief of medical staff, was also taken in, with police saying the arrested Huesca officials "are suspected of having taken part in match-fixing when they were in the second division".
According to a police source, the suspects are all accused of belonging to a criminal gang, corruption and money laundering.
Pedro Camarero, a lawyer acting for Huesca, told reporters various people at the club had been detained on a warrant.
He said: "We haven't been able to speak to the president yet. However, he will be able to give opportune explanations in due course.
"Internally within the club, we are not worried and are at the disposal of whatever the courts request of us. For now, we do not know how things will develop."
LaLiga president Javier Tebas, himself a former Huesca president, told daily Marca that the operation had originated from a complaint made by Spain's top flight and the investigation had been over a year in the making.
The Spaniard said: "It really hurts, because it affects a club I love, but the most important thing is to end corruption in football."
The Spanish league also issued a statement, saying: "We want to thank the National Police for the extraordinary work done to dismantle what appears to be an organised criminal group dedicated to obtaining economic benefits through the predetermination of matches."
Spanish media have reported LaLiga and LaLiga 2 matches in the recently-concluded season and previous one were allegedly fixed, and the probe had been triggered following Huesca's 1-0 loss to Nastic on May 27 last year, with "irregular betting patterns" over the half-time and full-time scores spotted.
The Daily Mail also reported an influx of bets coming from Ukraine and Asia had aroused suspicions in the match, with Huesca having sealed promotion to LaLiga, while Nastic were fighting to stay up.
Match-fixing has been a constant issue in Spanish football. In February last year, at least 24 people were arrested for allegedly rigging games in the lower leagues.

Football: Chelsea can cope with transfer ban, says Sarri

LONDON (AFP) - Maurizio Sarri says he is not worried about Chelsea's looming transfer embargo, insisting he has confidence in his squad as he targets a top-four finish in the Premier League.
The Stamford Bridge club, who host London rivals West Ham on Monday, are fifth in the table, level on 63 points with fourth-placed Arsenal, who have a game in hand.
Chelsea were handed a two-window transfer ban by world governing body Fifa in February over the recruitment of foreign youngsters with the club's appeal against the sanction set to be heard on April 11.
Sarri told his pre-match press conference on Friday that he was not concerned even if the appeal is not successful and that he was "very confident in my players".
"We have a lot of very good young players who are improving," he said. "If they are able to improve we will be a better team in the future. I am not worried about the market. I am confident in my players."
Manchester City and Liverpool are virtually assured of Champions League places for next season but Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are separated by just three points as they target the two remaining places.
However, Chelsea could also secure Champions League qualification by winning the Europa League and they face Slavia Prague in the last eight.
Sarri said the final weeks of the season would be tough, with away league games looming against Liverpool and United on top of their European commitments, and wants to keep his players as fresh as possible for the run-in.
"The last part of the season will be very difficult for every team," he said.
"We only have to fight and think about our matches. We have to fight until the last minute of the last match, but without looking at the other results.
"We go on the pitch with the same target, at home and away, to win. We have to play very difficult matches, especially away in the last part of the season but we only have to do our best and play to win. Then we will see."
Sarri also revealed he wants to keep striker Gonzalo Higuain at the club next season, even though the transfer ban may block the club turning his loan from Juventus into a permanent move.
Higuain has struggled since arriving at Stamford Bridge in January, scoring just three goals in 11 appearances, all of which came against already relegated Huddersfield and Fulham.
Asked if he wants to keep Higuain, Sarri said: "Yes of course, but it depends on the club, it depends on Juventus, it's not clear the situation at the moment.
"I think that he has to improve, physically, mentally. But I think also that he will be able to be very useful for us in the last part of the season.
"You know very well that it's not easy in the first months to play in the Premier League, it was a problem also for (Luis) Suarez in the first season at Liverpool."

Young Lions' new-found belief

SINGAPORE PREMIER LEAGUE

Home United v Young Lions
Bishan Stadium, 5.30pm

They had a taste of blood, and now the Young Lions want more.
Tipped by many to struggle in the Singapore Premier League (SPL) this season, Fandi Ahmad's charges pulled off a massive upset last week when they beat a Hougang United team boasting several senior national players 2-1.
The young guns, lying seventh in the nine-team table, are hoping to build on the victory when they take on sixth-placed and SPL pre-season title hopefuls Home United today at the Bishan Stadium.
Striker Saifullah Akbar, who scored the winning goal against Hougang, said he and many of his teammates benefited from a three-week overseas stint with the national Under-22 team, also coached by Fandi.
Fifteen Young Lions players were among the 24-strong U-22 squad that went on a two-week training camp in Shizuoka, Japan, before playing qualification matches in Mongolia for next year's AFC Under-23 Championship.
Singapore failed to progress to next year's finals after finishing second in their group. They had drawn 1-1 with Hong Kong and North Korea and beaten Mongolia 3-1.
Saifullah, 20, said: "In Japan and Mongolia, we played against opponents who were physically, tactically and technically stronger.
"Doing well on both trips gave us the belief we could match the top SPL teams when we returned here. And that has been key - belief."
Young Lions skipper Joshua Pereira added: "In Japan, we had double training sessions every day, and did not have outside distractions we have back in Singapore like school, work or National Service.
"The win against Hougang felt exceptional, but we know we have to keep our feet on the ground and try to do it again in our next game against Home."
Fandi, 56, refused to get carried away by the win over Hougang - in pre-season, he had simply targeted avoiding the wooden spoon - but added that he was pleased with the competition among his players.
He said: "Everyone wants a place in the team, and everyone's fighting for it.
"The SEA Games (in the Philippines from Nov 30-Dec 11) is the next big target and the players are all eager to prove themselves."
Despite his team's fine form, Fandi said they will start today's match as the underdogs.
Home have kept three straight clean sheets and also defeated Laotian champions Lao Toyota 1-0 in the AFC Cup on Tuesday.
But Home coach Saswadimata Dasuki is fretting over his attack.
Last season's 13-goal forward Shahril Ishak and Australian midfielder Isaka Cernak are sidelined with ankle injuries while South Korean midfielder Song Ui-yong, with 10 goals last campaign, is struggling with a groin problem.
Saswadimata said he was impressed by the Young Lions, noting: "They were very disciplined and very organised, both defensively and going forward.
"They are young, but they compensate by working really hard for each other and being organised.
"We will find it tough to break the Young Lions down."
