Joselu to join Al Gharafa after Real Madrid loan spell

If the new cinematic trailer for Assassin’s Creed Shadows didn’t provide enough about the open-world action RPG, a new breakdown is available that goes into more detail. Creative directorFruit Slot Games Jonathan Dumont and assistant director of cinematic design Akim Milne talk about the presentation, including the use of split screens in the trailer and the game’s setting.

The split-screen is noteworthy because of the first encounter between Naoe and Yasuke, the game’s protagonists. It’s slanted, implying a difference in perspective and almost a hostile feeling. When they meet again later, it’s like they see more eye-to-eye.

The developers also provide a ti…

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is going to be a significant release not only because it’s a new Zelda game, or because it’s a new traditional entry (something few expected to see again), but also because it will be the first mainline entry in the series to star the eponymous Princess Zelda as the main playable protagonist. But though she is obviously going to be the star of the show, it seems like she will still be at least partially sharing the spotlight with Link, who’s usually the series’ main protagonist.

That’s per the game’s recently published ESRB rating, which reveals that Link will still be playable in the upcoming action-adventure title.

The game’s ESRB summary reads, “This is an…

Studio Zero’s Metaphor: ReFantazio is out in a little over two weeks, and thus far, we’ve seen everything from combat, dungeons, and exploration to optional activities (like Bounties), the story, and even some new allies like Eupha. However, one question remains: How long is the experience?

After all, director Katsura Hashino’s last title, Persona 5, has a long runtime – HowLongToBeat estimates 97.5 hours to finish the story on average. Completionists will need 173 hours to mop up everything. Speaking to Vandal, Hashino said that Metaphor: ReFantazio will be able to “catch up to that.”

“Persona 5 was a very bulky game, a very robust game, and this Metaphor: ReFantazio will be ab…

Cesc Fabregas was delighted that Chelsea s wait for Champions League football was ended with a thumping 6-0 win over Qarabag.

Antonio Conte s men cast the visiting minnows aside at Stamford Bridge in a convincing display that included first Chelsea goals for Davide Zappacosta and Tiemoue Bakayoko on Tuesday.

And after missing out on European action last season, Fabregas was relieved to be back on form in the competition.

We have been waiting for a long time to be back playing in the Champions League, he told BT. Finally it arrived. It was a good performance and a good result.

You never know if these goals can count [for something] at the end of the group stage. We just have to keep going now.

The result equals our best ever win in the Champion…

Grinding Gear Games is preparing to launch Path of Exile 2 into early access today at 11 AM PST, and thus far, it’s surpassed expectations. Game director Jonathan Rogers revealed that the action RPG has already crossed one million key redemptions, and sales are still rising. While the success is good, he confirmed that the team was unprepared for such demand.

The launch weekend will likely see queues for players since GGG initially prepared server capacity for one million players. Though it’s since ordered additional cloud capacity, Rogers says, “We don&#Sports Betting8217;t know what our backend services are going to be able to handle as we go above a million users.

“No…

Spanish daily newspaper that Real Madrid have submitted a fresh proposal for Bayern Munich hotshot David Alaba.

Los Blancos seem determined to lure the Austrian defender to Santiago Bernabeu this summer and they recently had a €50 million proposal rejected for the highly rated footballer.

According to AS, Real Madrid have now submitted a new offer worth €65 million and they are awaiting response from Munich.

The Bavarians are believed to be holding out for €80 million, while the player himself is reportedly tempted by the possibility of joining los Blancos.

Real Madrid officials have held several meetings with the player’s representatives and they hope they will be able to wrap up the deal before the end of the summer transfer window.

Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin got on the scoresheet for England under-21’s on Thursday in a 1-1 draw against Poland. The result was not what the team would have wanted, but the goal was a reminder of Calvert-Lewin’s development.

The 22-year-old has been in and out of the Everton set-up for the last couple of years. However, the youngster has shown promising signs in recent games.

Come a long way in recent years

Calvert-Lewin cost Everton just £1.5million when he joined the Toffees from hometown club Sheffield United. There were definite signs of a promising player during his time in Yorkshire, but the striker made just 11 league appearances for the Blades, failing to score. He also had loan spells at Stalybridge Celtic and Northampton, where he did get on …

The Mail Online understand that Manchester City are considering a move for Southampton full-back Ryan Bertrand.

The Premier League leaders are on the lookout for a new left-sided defender with summer signing Benjamin Mendy set for a long lay-off, and have identified Bertand as a potential target.

The England international moved to St Mary’s Stadium from Chelsea, initially on loan in the summer of 2014 before making the move permanent six months later.

Prior to his move to the south coast, the twenty-eight year old had no less than six loan spells across three divisions, turning out for Bournemouth, Oldham Athletic, Norwich City, Reading, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa.

He has been capped seventeen times for his country with his one and only inte…

Republic of Ireland captain Katie McCabe said she was “heartbroken” after her team’s World Cup last-16 hopes were ended by a 2-1 loss to Canada in Perth in their second group game.

Ireland, who had opened their debut campaign at a major tournament with last week’s 1-0 loss to co-hosts Australia, were on course for an historic victory after McCabe gave them an early lead, scoring direct from a corner in the fourth minute.

But Canada hit back as a Megan Connolly own goal restored parity in first-half stoppage time and Adriana Leon then netted the winner eight minutes into the second half.

Passion personified. |

Market: Girona win

Odds: 1/2 @

In desperate need of an immediate response this weekend, Girona will welcome Cadiz to the Estadio Municipal on Saturday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Girona might still sit firmly in the driving seat to punch a famous Champions League ticket this season, the Spanish high-flyers are seeking some recent stability. Making an immediate return to losing ways last week as they suffered a routine 3-1 loss away at Atletico Madrid, Michel Sanchez’s men have claimed just a trio of wins from any of their previous nine La Liga appearances. Nevertheless, despite showing some worrying issues on the road since opening 2024, the top-four contenders will certainly be relishing a return to home soil here. Last seen at the Estadio Municipal…
