Borussia Dortmund planning to ask Felix Nmecha to stop his controversial 'crown' celebration 🇩🇪⚽ Borussia Dortmund’s executive committee, led by club president Hans-Joachim Watzke, is preparing to ask midfielder Felix Nmecha to refrain from performing his controversial "crown" goal celebration going forward. The decision follows formal complaints from Dortmund’s Fan and Supporters Department after Nmecha used the gesture which involves miming removing a crown and placing it on the ground—following both of his goals in Saturday’s 2–1 Bundesliga victory over SV Elversberg. Supporters raised concerns over the gesture's association with the evangelical network "Ballers in God," which has faced scrutiny in German media over ultra-conservative stances. Alongside speaking with the 26-year-old, the club also plans to ask the organization to stop prominently featuring Nmecha in promotional material. Earlier today, Nmecha issued a statement clarifying that the celebration is a personal expression of his Christian faith and was never intended to promote exclusion or intolerance.

FC Schalke 04 are reportedly exploring a shock six-month reunion with former fan favorite Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting! 🔵⚪⚽ The 37-year-old striker just said goodbye to the New York Red Bulls after two seasons in MLS and will become a free agent at the end of the year. With the Royal Blues looking to bolster their attack for their Bundesliga survival push, a return to Gelsenkirchen where he previously played from 2014 to 2017 is firmly on the table. However, there's a catch: any move depends on Edin Džeko’s future being sorted out first. The 40-year-old Bosnian legend who recently retired from international duty and has mostly featured off the bench without a Bundesliga goal so far this season would need to have his situation resolved before Schalke make their move. Would you love to see Choupo-Moting back in a Schalke shirt, or should they stick with Džeko? 💬 #Schalke04 #S04

Holstein Kiel move quickly for Mitch Kniat after sacking Tim Walter Bottom-of-the-table Holstein Kiel are in advanced talks with Mitch Kniat to take over as head coach after parting ways with Tim Walter. The club confirmed Walter’s departure along with his assistants following a poor start that has left them with just eight points from 11 games Kniat, 40, is the clear favourite to step in, However, he remains under contract with Bielefeld until the end of the season, so Kiel will still need to reach an agreement with the club before he can take charge. After falling short of expectations following their relegation from the Bundesliga, the Storks are hoping a fresh start can help them avoid another drop. Final details are still being sorted, with talks ongoing.

Shock exit at Birmingham City! Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady has stepped away from his minority ownership role at the Blues, with the club confirming the news in a statement on Monday night (9 November 2026). Brady joined the club in August 2023 as part of the Knighthead Capital takeover, taking a roughly 3% stake and chairing an advisory board. He leaves after three years with Birmingham sitting top of the Championship on goal difference with 29 points from 15 games following Saturday’s 2-1 win over Swansea that moved them clear at the summit. No reason has been given for the departure. The timing is unexpected given the strong start under Chris Davies and the club’s rising profile.

Aberdeen pull the plug on Stephen Robinson after disastrous start to the season 🔴 The Dons have sacked head coach Stephen Robinson less than eight months after appointing him, following a grim run of form that has left them second-bottom in the Premiership. Saturday’s 4-0 hammering at home to Hibernian proved the final straw. It was Aberdeen’s fourth defeat in a row across all competitions, and they’ve managed just three wins from 12 league games so far this season. Assistants Brian Kerr and Stephen Craigan have also departed, with academy coach Stuart Duff stepping in as interim while the club searches for a permanent replacement. The club says preparatory work is already underway to find “the right candidate to lead the club forward.” Robinson arrived from St Mirren in March and helped steer Aberdeen clear of relegation trouble last season, then oversaw a major summer rebuild with 15 new signings. His overall record at Pittodrie stands at 11 wins, 5 draws and 12 defeats from 28 games. #AberdeenFC

PIERRE SAGE SACKED BY CRYSTAL PALACE! ⛔️🔴🔵 The axe has officially fallen at Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace have parted ways with manager Pierre Sage after just five months in charge, making him the first Premier League managerial casualty of the season! The definitive blow came following Sunday's 3-1 home defeat to Liverpool, a result that left the Eagles propping up the bottom of the Premier League table with a mere 7 points from their opening 10 matches. Sage, who arrived in the summer with high expectations after a successful stint in France with Lens, simply couldn’t steady the ship in south London. Palace have endured a brutal run of four successive league defeats, further compounded by holding the worst defensive record in the top flight after shipping 24 goals. #CPFC #CrystalPalace

Beşiktaş are exploring a move to bring young Turkish defender Yusuf Akçiçek back home! 🦅🇹🇷 The Black Eagles are reportedly looking into a loan deal with an obligation to buy for the Al Hilal centre-back. While interest is still in the early stages and no agreement has been reached yet, this could be a massive development for the Istanbul club's backline. At just 20 years old, the highly-rated former Fenerbahçe youth product moved to Saudi Arabia, but a return to the Süper Lig could give him the consistent first-team minutes he needs to fulfill his massive potential.

The Swans are in talks to end the 17-year-old’s season-long move early in January, with the clubs discussing a reduced loan fee so the teenager can head elsewhere for the second half of the campaign. Monga joined on deadline day after City signed him from Leicester for around £10m, but he has yet to make a single appearance or even a matchday squad for Vitor Matos’ side. With a strong group of wide players already at the club, opportunities simply haven’t come his way. Reports suggest Swansea paid a £1m loan fee and are now negotiating to cut that figure roughly in half, while also ending their wage contribution from the new year. That would free City to arrange a different loan for him. Still only 17 and adapting to the daily demands of senior football, it’s been a frustrating few months for a player who showed real promise at Leicester. Plenty of time left this season, but both clubs appear ready to find a better development path for him.

A 16-year-old Argentine striker has just signed his first professional contract with Santos… and the Brazilian club has slapped a €100 million (£83.4m) release clause on him. Ignacio Pereira also known as Ignacio Pereira Salmón or Nacho joined Santos at Under-13 level three years ago. He still hasn’t played a single senior game, currently with the U17s yet Santos have locked him down until the end of 2029 with that massive clause attached. The deal comes after interest from European clubs including Arsenal and after his previous youth contract was set to expire. Born in Chaco, Argentina, with dual nationality, he’s already earned Argentina youth call-ups and has been scoring regularly in the youth ranks. Crazy valuation for a player who hasn’t even made his first-team debut yet.
