The new era of the Club World Cup began on Saturday with a tense draw between Inter Miami and Al Ahly. It wasn't pretty, but tournament organisers will no doubt be satisfied.

Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement with Bayern Munich to sign Mathys Tel on a permanent transfer, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Inter Milan forward Mehdi Taremi will not be able to join his teammates at the Club World Cup in the United States as he is stuck in Tehran amid the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel.

USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino said he wouldn't allow Christian Pulisic to dictate which games he would be available for.

Unai Emery is looking to improve his options out wide this summer and Villa have registered their interest in Rodriguez, the promising 19-year-old.

The signing was announced on Saturday after he passed a medical, and he will link up with his new club following the conclusion of England's campaign at the European Under 21 Championship.

Tel - who is currently in Slovakia representing France at the European Under-21 Championship - moved to north London on loan from Bayern in February, with Spurs paying a €10m loan fee.
