MANCHESTER - Sevilla are negotiating a loan move for Telles and have also registered an interest in Bailly, along with Serie A side Roma.

LONDON - Kasper Schmeichel has completed a move to French club Nice to end his 11-year stay at Leicester City, the clubs announced yesterday. The 35-year-old leaves the King Power Stadium as a club legend after being one of the best players in Leicester’s shock Premier League title win in the 2015-16 season.

Wijnaldum for Roma
ROME – Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma are said to have now reached an agreement to sign a Paris Saint-Germain star.

Gold, bronze for Nigeria
BIRMINGHAM - It was a big night for Nigeria, with gold and bronze in the women’s discus in the Commonwealth Games. Chioma Onyekwere took the top step on the podium with a throw of 61.70m ahead of England’s Jade Lally and team mate Obiageri Amaechi. After taking world championship pole vault bronze in Eugene, Australia’s Nina Kennedy upgraded to gold in Birmingham with a winning height of 4.60m.

BIRMINGHAM - Jacob Kiplimo used a devastating late kick to win the Commonwealth Games men’s 10 000 metres gold on Tuesday, stepping up in the absence of world champion Joshua Cheptegei to maintain Uganda’s domination of the event.
Opening night at Alexander Stadium was meant to be highlighted by Cheptegei defending his Commonwealth crown but the Ugandan world record holder opted out to better prepare for the remaining Diamond League races.
That left Kiplimo, the Olympic and world bronze medallist, alone to face the three man Kenyan threat of Kibiwott Kandie, Daniel Ebenyo and Edward Zakayo Pingua.
The Kenyans controlled the pace at Cali’s Pascual Guerrero Stadium and through much of the race until Kiplimo and Ebenyo broke free of the pack to reduce the battle for gold to a two-man fight with two laps to run.
Shoulder-to-shoulder entering the final bend, Kiplimo found another gear rocketing away down the last 100 metres, hands raised with enough energy to dance in delight as he crossed the line in a Games record time of 27 minutes, 9.19 seconds.
“I think for me winning this Commonwealth Games title was everything, the most important thing for me this season,” Kiplimo said.
Kenyans occupied the other two spots on the podium with Ebenyo securing silver and Kandie bronze.
With Kiplimo’s superb victory Uganda have now won the men’s 10 000m at every Commonwealth Games since 2006.
