8 d. ago LAFC’s Denis Bouanga is thriving with his new strike partner: ‘I feel so good with Sonny on the pitch’

Any questions about how the Gabon international would gel with Son Heung-min have been put to rest after a historic scoring runWhen Son Heung-min arrived at Los Angeles Football Club last month, there was a huge sense of excitement: here was South Korea’s most popular athlete and one of the best Asian footballers in history. In a city with the largest South Korean community in the United States, there was also a belief that – just as with Lionel Messi and Miami – the diaspora would create a strong bridge between club and city.But this was also about LAFC itself. Undoubtedly, there was much Son could offer to Steve Cherundolo and a squad that was already blessed with attacking talent, including Denis Bouanga, the 30-year-old France-born Gabon international. Just before Son’s debut for LAFC on 9 August against Chicago Fire, Bouanga – a three-time All-Star – had 13 goals in the league and had long served as the main goal threat for the club, who at the time were sixth in the Western Co...

1 week ago Football Daily | Ekitiké joins another red family: prematurely disrobing before an early bath

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!If you’re going to plagiarise you might as well copy from the best, but when Hugo Ekitiké decided to pay homage to Lionel Messi by replicating one of the Argentinian’s more iconic celebrations, his tribute came at a cost to Liverpool. While Messi famously wheeled away in celebration, removed his shirt and pointedly held it up in front of the Bernabéu crowd after scoring a late, late winner for Barcelona in a five-goal thriller at Real Madrid in 2017, Ekitiké has now rather more infamously done the same thing after scoring a tap-in from an excellent Federico Chiesa assist against Championship opposition in the third round of Fizzy Cup.
