Trey Ogunsuyi, striker for Sunderland U21s, is eagerly anticipating Sunday’s Premier League 2 final against Tottenham. Reflecting on his recent performance, Ogunsuyi described scoring the decisive goal in the semi-final against Reading as an incredible experience. His crucial goal came in the 120th minute, securing a victory for the young Black Cats in extra-time. This goal marked the 17-year-old’s second in the Premier League 2, following a previous score against Wolves in the round of 16. Ogunsuyi expressed his elation, stating, “It was amazing, I can’t describe it, but I ran and celebrated once I saw the ball hit the back of the net. To help seal the win was a great feeling.”

Over recent years, notable tension arose between the New York Giants and star running back Saquon Barkley over contract issues, with the team appearing willing to let him enter NFL free agency. Initially, it seemed Barkley would join the Houston Texans alongside quarterback C.J. Stroud, but he made a surprising decision to sign with the Philadelphia Eagles, a rival of the Giants. This move could significantly enhance the Eagles’ offense for the 2024 season.

In Philadelphia, Barkley joins an already talented offense, led by quarterback Jalen Hurts and supported by A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Parris Campbell, and tight end Dallas Goedert. Barkley commented on his new teammates during OTAs, noting, “You get a huddle Day 1, and it’s A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, Jalen Hurts…Not a bad group.” Despite past injuries, Barkley’s role in the Eagles’ dynamic and unpredictable offense is expected to bolster their NFC prospects significantly.

Congratulations to Viktor Johansson, the new Stoke City goalkeeper, who has been named in the latest Sweden squad. The 25-year-old recently transferred from Rotherham United to the bet365 Stadium after head coach Steven Schumacher and new sporting director Jon Walters activated a relegation release clause, reportedly around £1 million.

Johansson earned his first senior international cap in October, coming on at halftime against Moldova. He has now been called up for friendlies against Denmark and Serbia. This continues a significant period for him personally, as his partner is also expecting their first child. Johansson hopes that his move to Stoke will bolster his international prospects.

Additionally, Johansson’s new Stoke teammate, Jordan Thompson, has been named in the Northern Ireland squad for their matches against Spain and Andorra.
