6 d. ago On the right track: the record label reaching out to Cameroon’s street talent

Born in Douala prison and hailed for helping young people stay out of trouble, the success of Jail Time Records has persuaded Burkina Faso to let the label branch out thereIt does not take long for a crowd to gather when the Jail Time Records van pulls up to the kerb and starts blasting music in Cameroon’s port city, Douala. Set up not just to play music but as a mobile recording studio, too, the van passes through the city’s poorer neighbourhoods, offering the microphone to Douala’s aspiring but unguided young musicians.The goal is to scout for new talent while also helping out young people in areas plagued by drugs and crime.

1 week ago Liverpool hold talks over record Florian Wirtz deal in ‘busy’ summer plans

Chair Tom Werner says busy transfer summer has begunVan Dijk delighted to have been given trophy by HansenThe Liverpool chairman, Tom Werner, has confirmed the club’s busy summer has already begun with the Premier League champions in talks over the record transfer of Florian Wirtz and close to wrapping up a deal for his Bayer Leverkusen teammate Jeremie Frimpong.Liverpool are favourites to sign the £126m-rated Wirtz after he turned down a move to Bayern Munich and Manchester City pulled out of the running. The Anfield club have started negotiations over a fee with Leverkusen, who want £126m for the Germany international. That would comfortably eclipse Liverpool’s current record transfer, the £85m that brought Darwin Núñez from Benfica in 2022, but the club hope to structure a deal that would see Leverkusen accept a lower initial fee plus achievable add-ons.

2 w. ago Made at Arsenal, forged with joy: Chloe Kelly the double Euro champion

Sharing Champions League success with former academy teammates made it even sweeter for revitalised forwardChloe Kelly can’t stop grinning. It almost looks painful to hold your mouth so wide, but this is a pain she will willingly bear and keep bearing. Four months ago the forward was on the ropes, her love of football gone and her chance of making England’s Euro 2025 squad slim. An impasse with Manchester City meant she had started one game all season and, despite their staggering injury crisis, it seemed there was no way back. Now, she is a European champion at club and country level, after a deadline-day loan to Arsenal was forced, in part, by a bold decision to go public with the way she was feeling on social media.“I was ready to take a break from football completely,” Kelly says. “I’m just grateful. As soon as I stepped foot in this club, I found happiness. Renée Slegers, as soon as she got on the phone to me, to give me the opportunity to represent this badge, I wanted to repa...

2 w. ago Extremely loud and incredibly scouse: how Jamie Carragher conquered football punditry

Football coverage no longer stops after the final whistle. And in this new era, the former Liverpool defender reigns supremeJamie Carragher’s legs were aching. He had been speaking to a Sky Sports cameraman for 25 minutes. Usually for a news interview it’s just 10, but today called for something more. Reports were coming out that Trent Alexander-Arnold, who inherited Carragher’s mantle as the local mainstay of Liverpool’s defence, was about to announce his long-expected departure from his boyhood club, and so, as sure as day follows night, a camera crew had been hastily dispatched to Carragher’s whereabouts to find a quiet spot, hit record and get his opinions out to viewers before they’d had a chance to fully form their own.How much was there to say about a subject that had already been talked about all season long? Quite a lot, it turned out. Like a hunter-gatherer extracting a week’s worth of food from a seemingly arid wilderness, Carragher – occasionally prompted by a Sky Sports...
