Wrexham have completed the signing of Wales international striker Kieffer Moore, the club announced on Tuesday.

Moore joins the Welsh club on a three-year deal from Sheffield United for a fee of around £2 million ($2.6m), sources have told ESPN.

He becomes the eighth signing of the summer at the Racecourse ground.

“I’m over the moon to join the club and I can’t wait to get started,” Moore said in a statement.

“I want to be that experienced leader and bring a lot to the team. My work ethic is one of my strongest assets and I want to be someone that can help drive the team forward.”

Moore has previously enjoyed spells at Ipswich Town, Cardiff City and Bournemouth, where he scored the goal that sealed their return to the Premier League in 2022.

“We’re delighted to welcome Kieffer to the club,” Wrexham head coach Phil Parkinson said.

“He’s a player with a lot of Championship and international experience and we’re looking forward to working with him.”

Moore follows Danny Ward, Ryan Hardie, Liberato Cacace and midfielders George Thomason and Lewis O’Brien in to the club.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s side have also brought in Sheffield Wednesday forward Josh Windass and defender Conor Coady, who joined for £2 million from Leicester City.

Moore has scored 14 times in 49 appearances for Wales and will play for a Welsh club for the second time in his career at Wrexham.

They begin their Championship season after a record-breaking three straight promotions, against Southampton on Aug. 9.

South Korea international Son Heung-Min is poised to sign with MLS side LAFC, with an unveiling happening as soon as Wednesday, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Son, 33, announced his departure from Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, concluding a 10-year spell at the London club, though at the time he didn’t specify his next destination.

Atlanta United FC spent last winter to acquire forward Emmanuel Latte Lath.

Son played his final game for Spurs on Sunday in Seoul in a friendly against Newcastle United, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. Son was given a standing ovation and a guard of honor from both sets of players as he was substituted in the second half.

He told Spur’s website: “It was a perfect moment. Sharing these beautiful moments are something that I will never forget and I will always appreciate it — from the fans, the players and the gaffer. He understood my situation and was always on my side. He always listened to me and asked what I wanted to do. I have a huge respect and am very grateful.”

ESPN reported in June 2023 that Son attracted a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabian side Al Ittihad, although he opted to remain at the club then. Now it looks as though LAFC have beaten out Al Ittihad for Son’s signature.

Tottenham’s Europa League final win over Manchester United gave Son the opportunity to lift his first trophy for the club after becoming only the seventh player ever to reach 450 appearances for Spurs — with 198 Premier League goal contributions — since his move from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 for £22 million ($29.8 million).

Son is set to join an LAFC side that currently sits in sixth place in MLS’s Western Conference, though the Black-and-Gold have at least two games in hand on the teams above them in the standings.

GiveMeSport was the first to report Son’s move and the financial details.

When Trinity Rodman shoots, she’s probably gonna score.

The Washington Spirit player—who’d been sidelined with a back injury—returned to the soccer field on Aug. 3, scoring a goal in stoppage time that secured the team’s 2-1 win over the Portland Thorns. 

In an interview after the game—which saw Trinity enter as a sub during the 76th minute—the 23-year-old grew emotional when former player Kelsey Riggs asked what it meant to be back on the field, 114 days later, and to have made such a key goal.

“I just think, holy cow,” Trinity began after collecting herself, “that was the hardest thing I’ve had to go through with injury and everything. So being back, especially at the home stadium with the crowd behind me, scoring a goal like that, you saw it—I buried it, I wasn’t gonna miss it.”

She emphasized, “I’m just really happy to be back, I missed the team, I missed doing what I love. So, yeah I’m just enjoying it.”

The Olympian also shared insight into how she’s recovered from the injury she sustained in April.

Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo were on target as Liverpool beat Athletic Club 3-2 in the second of two preseason friendlies at Anfield on Monday.

After a number of Liverpool’s fringe players had played out a 4-1 victory over the Spanish club earlier in the afternoon, head coach Arne Slot named a completely changed side for the late kick-off.

The hosts started well, with both Gakpo and Florian Wirtz going close before new signing Hugo Ekitike teed up Salah to score the opener inside 14 minutes.

While Liverpool dominated, Athletic Club equalised in the first half through Oihan Sancet, who was there to capitalise after Slot’s side failed to deal with a free-kick into the penalty area. However, Liverpool restored their lead after the break when Gakpo was on hand to tap home after Unai Simón had parried a long-range shot from Ryan Gravenberch.

Netherlands international quickly atoned for his error, scoring the winner after his powerful shot squirmed under Simon’s gloves 20 minutes from time, while Salah blazed a late penalty over the bar.

In the first game of the double-header, 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha opened the scoring with a stunning solo effort to continue his impressive preseason form. The teenager then swiftly turned provider, heading the ball down for Darwin Núñez to sweep in from close range inside five minutes.

Goals from Ben Doak and Harvey Elliott made sure of the victory for the Premier League champions before Athletic Club reduced the deficit through a header from Gorka Guruzeta in the second half.

Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, with former Liverpool captain Phil Thompson and Athletic Club president Jon Uriarte laying wreaths in front of the Kop in tribute.

Jota’s song could also be heard ringing out from the stands throughout the evening and there was a period of applause in the 20th minute of both games in acknowledgment of Jota’s shirt number, which Liverpool confirmed they would be retiring last month.

“I think in both games we created a lot of chances, scored seven goals — four in the first, three in the second — so that’s very pleasing to see because we definitely didn’t score every chance we had,” Slot told Liverpool’s club website. “Especially in the second game in the first half, I think we could have scored a few goals more than we did. So that pleased me most, the ability to create the chances and even to score seven goals over two games is also good.”

Captain Virgil van Dijk missed out through illness while defenders Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez were absent due to injuries. Goalkeeper Alisson Becker also wasn’t involved, having left Liverpool’s preseason tour of the Far East last week due to a personal matter.

Liverpool will travel to Wembley on Sunday to take on FA Cup winners Crystal Palace in the FA Community Shield before starting their Premier League campaign at home to Bournemouth on Aug. 14.

Asked whether he is excited by Liverpool’s new-look attack this season, Slot said: “Yeah, but we’ve also lost two quality players with Diogo [Jota] and Luis Díaz. But we’ve added with Hugo [Ekitike] definitely a player that’s going to be a very good player for us. Rio is showing good things every time in preseason.

“The other games in preseason, I think we’ve conceded a few chances too much. Today we hardly conceded anything at all, so that pleased me as well.

“But then to concede, especially in the second game, two set-piece goals, that’s not what you want — especially if you play Crystal Palace [on Sunday] who are a team that are very strong on set-pieces. That’s then another thing to work on — we’ve worked on that already but to work on that even more in the upcoming week. But players are fit, worked really hard, played some good football, defended really strong and good — apart from the two set-pieces.

Forward Ally Watt has been traded from the Orlando Pride to 2026 NWSL expansion team Denver Summit FC, sources have told ESPN. The move makes Watt, a Colorado native, the first player in the team’s history.

Watt was immediately loaned back to the Orlando Pride, the club she helped win the 2024 NWSL Shield and NWSL Championship, for the remainder of the 2025 season.

Denver will play its first NWSL season next year.

In return, Orlando received $75,000 in expansion allocation money — which can be spent through the end of 2027 — and another $37,500 in transfer funds, a source told ESPN. The Pride also received salary cap relief as part of the loan agreement.

Watt played in Orlando’s first 13 games this season before missing Sunday’s match with an ankle injury. The 28-year-old has one goal and one assist on the season.

told ESPN in May. “If you start going down the list, Colorado has been fertile ground for this sport for a long time, and we’re going to dig into that, and we’re going to hire people that have made their names as a result of their upbringing in soccer in Colorado. For sure, that’s going to be a part of our DNA.”

Intra-league loans are new to the NWSL this year and were approved in conjunction with other roster-building mechanisms for 2026 expansion teams Boston Legacy FC and Denver Summit FC.

Boston and Denver each has access to up to $1.065 million in allocation money, which allows teams to spend outside of the salary cap and transfer threshold. The league had previously announced that it was phasing out existing allocation money by Dec. 31, 2026, but the allocation money that originates with Boston and Denver can be spent through the end of 2027.

In the case of the Watt trade, that means Orlando has an additional year to use the $75,000.

On the manager front, ESPN previously reported that Denver was finalizing terms to hire former Manchester City and New York City FC head coach Nick Cushing to be its first manager.
