Bayern and Dortmund move for Nathan De CatFew teenagers in Europe have generated as much momentum as De Cat, and both Bayern and Dortmund see him as a midfielder worth acting early for. According to Sky Sports, both clubs have formally intensified their monitoring, sending scouts to multiple matches this season as the 17-year-old has grown into a permanent starter at Anderlecht. However, they are just two of a number of top teams keeping track of him.AdvertisementBayern transfer bosses Max Eberl and Christoph Freund are leading the charge. They admire De Cat’s tactical maturity, his ability to dictate tempo from deep and his imposing frame, a combination they believe could make him a long-term successor to Leon Goretzka or a future anchor in Vincent Kompany’s midfield. Bayern’s interest is...

"When we made the trade for Pat, I talked to him and I said, 'You're probably not making the team."After spending seven years and winning an NBA title with the Milwaukee Bucks, Pat Connaughton was dealt alongside two second-round picks to the Charlotte Hornets this summer for Vasilije Micic. Shortly after the deal, President of Basketball Operations Jeff Peterson told Connaughton that he was not supposed to make the Hornets' opening night roster."He knows that if he plays 5 minutes or if he may not play for 20 straight games," Peterson told the entire Hornets team on an episode of Reel Access, "why he's on this team is because he's about everything that we're about: Hornets DNA."Fast forward a few months, and Connaughton has become a contributor to the Hornets' rotation.

Against Wolverhampton Wanderers, it was the burst of pace and pinpoint cross that set up Joao Pedro’s goal. Against Ajax, it was the attempted overhead kick that would have resigned Chelsea’s other five goals that night — including his own — to afterthoughts in anyone’s recollections of the match. And of course, against Liverpool, it was the dart into the box and first-time finish that sealed all three points.Estevao is producing the standout moments at Stamford Bridge lately. The 18-year-old Brazil forward joined from Sao Paulo’s Palmeiras this summer after a verbal agreement to sign him was reached in May 2024, so there has been plenty of time for anticipation to build around his arrival.That has been rewarded so far. Estevao registered his first goal contribution in his first start for ...

A team has turned to stone. Another is creating new awards. And a shooter is no longer just shooting.Let’s open up the notebook to run through three trends that have caught my eye over the past week:StatuesNo timeout could be more necessary than one Memphis Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo called Tuesday night.As a game against the New York Knicks slipped away, so did the Grizzlies’ energy.
