Arsenal’s Champions League semi-final first leg against French champions PSG will be shown exclusively on Amazon Prime Video tonight.

 

Amazon says fans will be able to watch coverage from the Emirates free with a trial of Amazon Prime Video and you can sign up here.

The match is one of 17 Amazon games shown on the streaming service this season and will be the final time Arsenal appear on the streaming service.

Amazon will begin coverage of the first leg tie at 6.30pm with an hour and a half of build-up from the punditry team before an 8pm kick-off in London.

The game will be the only Champions League game of the night, with Barcelona versus Inter taking place tomorrow (Wednesday 30 April).

Fans will be able to watch with a free trial or a subscription to Amazon Prime Video. You can sign up here.

Arsenal will play PSG for a place in the Champions League final on 31 May in Munich. It would be Arsenal’s second final and would give them the chance to win their first ever Champions League trophy.

In their way are Luis Enrique’s PSG, who have already defeated Aston Villa and Liverpool on their way to a semi-final.

Despite vast investment from their Qatari owners, PSG are also seeking their first-ever Champions League title.

PSG have the advantage of a second leg in Paris to come but Arsenal will be hoping to emulate the stunning Emirates victory over Real Madrid in the previous round, when a spectacular Declan Rice double and a Mikel Merino strike gave the Gunners a 3-0 win to take to Spain.

Arsenal are without Riccardo Calafiori, Gabriel, Thomas Partey, Jorginho, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus for the match, but Ben White and Mikel Merino are fit and will be included in the squad.

Leandro Trossard is expected to be employed as a makeshift striker as Arsenal struggle for attacking options. Buyako Saka will be the key man on the right wing once again in Arsenal’s biggest game for a generation.

Galatasaray have paid Napoli an initial €40m for Victor Osimhen’s permanent transfer.

According to football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, Galatasaray and Napoli are now finalising details of Osimhen’s deal.

The Turkish champions will also pay the Serie A champions a €35m in one year for the second part of the payment for the 26-year-old’s transfer.

Romano added that Napoli also set a penalty clause for Galatasaray to avoid selling Osimhen to any Italian club in the next two years.

However, final details to get Osimhen’s deal done and the sell-on clause are yet to be agreed at the moment.

Osimhen spent the whole last season on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli and he has already made it clear he wants to continue at the Turkish giants.

The Nigeria striker rejected huge money offers from Saudi Arabia club Al Hilal to continue at Galatasaray.

Transfer: Osimhen has arrived, Galatasaray reach agreement with two more players

Published

A sports commentator, Zeki Uzundurukan has insisted that Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen has arrived at Galatasaray.

Uzundurukan, who said this while commenting on Galatasaray’s transfer agenda, said that the Turkish champions have also reached an agreement with two more players after securing Osimhen’s permanent transfer deal from Napoli.

“Victor Osimhen had always planned to stay at Galatasaray from the beginning to the end, and the thought of going to Saudi Arabia had never crossed his mind,” Uzundurukan said (via habersarikirmizi).

“President Dursun Özbek managed the process very well. If it had been another Turkish team with €150 million in its coffers, they might not have been able to make this transfer.

“There were those who tried to sabotage Victor Osimhen’s transfer, and there were those who intervened. This transfer happened thanks to Osimhen’s upright stance.

“Osimhen has arrived. Galatasaray has reached an agreement with two more players. One of them is a goalkeeper… They will announce them as well,” he said.

This is coming after Galatasaray vice-president Abdullah Kavukcu insisted that no one can mock the club regarding Osimhen’s permanent transfer.

According to Kavukcu, Osimhen wants to join Galatasaray badly to the extend that the 26-year-old attacker rejected incredible offers from other clubs.

Galatasaray and Napoli had already reached an agreement on bank guarantees and payment plans regarding Osimhen’s transfer.

Ahead of their quarter-final meeting at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, Zambia captain, Barbara Banda says they have no fear for the Super Falcons of Nigeria, Ekwutosblog reports.

The Copper Queens are seeking a second consecutive appearance in the semi-final of the competition.

Nora Hauptle’s side went home with the bronze three years ago, edging past Nigeria 1-0 in the third-place match.

The Super Falcons waltzed through Group B without conceding, though yet to hit expected heights.

They still remain a strong force, and have some of the best players on the continent.

Banda, who is the current African Footballer of the Year, declared that they respect the Super Falcons but have no fear for Justine Madugu’s team.

“We are not scared, but we respect them because we know the game is 90-plus, so we are going to speak on the pitch. We want to hunt it,” she told a press conference in Casablanca.
