Cong Phuong's daily life moments in Belgium; Arsenal officially has the most expensive star in history

Real coach reveals plan for "Japanese Messi"

In the early summer, Real Madrid unexpectedly spent 2 million euros to recruit Takefusa Kubo - a player known as the "Japanese Messi", from FC Tokyo. However, very quickly, this 18-year-old striker made a good impression, both in training and in competition, and many newspapers even evaluated that his performances were better than "blockbusters" such as Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic or Rodrygo...

Takefusa Kubo will play for Real Madrid Castilla next season.

"The ideal option would be for Kubo to play for Castilla, but still train with the Real first team players. Kubo is still young so we will have to be very careful, so that he can develop slowly, similar to the case of Rodrygo and Vinicius before," said coach Zidane.

Unable to get Lukaku, Inter plans to break Dybala's deal to MU

Corriere dello Sport revealed that Paulo Dybala is not really interested in joining Manchester United because the "Red Devils" do not have a ticket to the Champions League next season. Taking advantage of the situation, Inter CEO Giuseppe Marotta is looking to make a lightning deal with Juventus.

Inter will use Mauro Icardi and possibly some money in exchange for Dybala's services. Icardi is no longer in coach Antonio Conte's plans but is highly appreciated by new Juventus captain Maurizio Sarri.

Juventus are valuing Dybala at up to £90m. Accordingly, MU may have to pay an additional £15m plus defender Matteo Darmian and Romelu Lukaku to complete this deal.

As for Inter, if they cannot convince Juventus, they will be forced to turn to another target, Edinson Cavani. Italian media reported that the Nerazzurri will use Icardi to exchange for the PSG star. In case of failure, the Giuseppe Meazza team will spend 45 million pounds to bring the Uruguayan striker back to Serie A next season.

Arsenal officially has the most expensive attacking star in history

After days of speculation, Arsenal have finally signed Ivorian winger Nicolas Pepe from Lille. On their website, Arsenal also confirmed that Pepe is the most expensive player in the club's history.

Nicolas Pepe officially joins Arsenal.

Last season, Nicolas Pepe scored 22 goals and assisted 11 others as Lille finished second in Ligue 1, behind only Paris Saint-Germain. The 24-year-old himself is only behind Kylian Mbappe in the league's top scorers.

At Arsenal, Nicolas Pepe will wear the number 19 shirt. He promises to join Aubameyang and Lacazette to form a formidable attacking trio for the Gunners in the new season.

Cong Phuong was teased by his teammates during the meal.

Cong Phuong is showing his ability to integrate well into the new environment when he quickly became close to his teammates at Sint-Truidense Club through group activities.

On his personal page, defender Pol Garcia Tena, Nguyen Cong Phuong's teammate at Sint-Truidense Club, just shared the moment when the Vietnamese national team striker sat down to have lunch with his teammates in Belgium.

Having only arrived in Europe for a few weeks, Cong Phuong is showing signs of integrating quite quickly with his teammates. The image of the striker from Do Luong often appears in posts by players at the Sint-Truidense Club. That partly shows Cong Phuong's efforts to adapt to the new environment in his third time playing abroad.

On July 27, Sint-Truidense FC had their opening match against Mouscron Excel, but Cong Phuong was only on the bench and not on the field. However, witnessing Cong Phuong's happy moments in Europe, fans at home can be somewhat reassured about the life of the striker born in 1995 in Belgium.
