• Reus completes LA Galaxy switch following Dortmund exit

  Marco Reus has completed a move to the MLS, linking up with the LA Galaxy after leaving Borussia Dortmund at the end of last season. 

  Reus, who made 429 appearances across a 12-year stint with Die Schwarzgelben, has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract through to the end of the 2026 campaign. 

  During his time with Dortmund, the 35-year-old registered 301 goal contributions (170 goals and 131 assists), winning four major honours in the process. 

  He has twice been voted German Footballer of the Year, as well as receiving the Bundesliga Player of the Season on three occasions.

  Reus featured in both of Dortmund's Champions League final losses, with his last outing for the club coming in their 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid at Wembley back in June. 

  The former German international ended the campaign with 14 goal contributions (six goals and eight assists) in the league last season, a total only bettered by Julian Brandt (18) and Niclas Fullkrug (20). 

  “We are excited to welcome Marco to the team,” said Galaxy head coach Greg Vanney. 

  “He is a proven winner and leader whose talent and vision for the game will integrate seamlessly into the group as we prepare for the restart of the league and the run into the playoffs.”

  The Galaxy return to MLS action on August 25 when they face Atlanta United as they look to remain at the summit of the Western Conference. 

  Vanney and his side were knocked out of the Leagues Cup last week following a 3-1 defeat to Seattle Sounders at Lumen Field. 

• Luis Enrique labels Mbappe questions 'boring' following Real Madrid debut

  Luis Enrique said questions regarding Kylian Mbappe are "boring" as Paris Saint-Germain begin life without the Frenchman this weekend against Le Havre. 

  Mbappe, who joined Real Madrid in June, scored on his maiden outing for Los Blancos in their 2-0 UEFA Super Cup win against Atalanta on Wednesday. 

  The 25-year-old became the first Madrid player to score on his competitive debut in the Super Cup since Marco Asensio did so against Sevilla back in 2016. 

  And despite no longer being a part of Luis Enrique's squad, the PSG head coach was asked by a Spanish journalist if he had watched the encounter unfold in Warsaw. 

  "My God these Spanish people are boring. I didn't imagine you were going to ask me a question about Kylian again," Luis Enrique said as he shook his head.

  "But I don't have anything to hide. I have always adored Kylian Mbappe and he is a unique and exceptional person. I wish him the best, and that Madrid lose against us."

  The Parisians will need to find a new source of goals for the upcoming season after Mbappe posted his best figures in a campaign since his move from Monaco in 2018.

  Mbappe managed 34 goal contributions in Ligue 1 (27 goals and seven assists), with Goncalo Ramos (12) and Ousmane Dembele (11) his closest challengers. 

  However, Luis Enrqiue is relishing the challenge that lies ahead as he goes in search of a fourth major honour at the Parc des Princes. 

  "If someone else scores 40 goals, that would be great," Enrique said.

  "But based on my experience, it is better to have four players scoring 12 - that would make 48, which is more than 40.

  "I think it's a fascinating challenge. It's a challenge to show that football is a collective sport."

• Dyche refuses to rule out Calvert-Lewin exit before end of the season

  Everton boss Sean Dyche has refused to rule out the prospect of losing Dominic Calvert-Lewin before the end of the season. 

  Calvert-Lewin made 39 appearances in all competitions for the Toffees last year, having completed just 38 outings across the previous two campaigns. 

  The 27-year-old scored seven times for Dyche's side in the Premier League last year and was the club's joint-top scorer in the league alongside Abdoulaye Doucoure. 

  Calvert-Lewin has been linked with a move away from Goodison Park in the transfer window, with a reported move to Newcastle falling through in July. 

  Manchester United and West Ham have also registered their interest in the striker, who has just one year remaining on his current Everton contract. 

  But with Everton's financial situation, which saw them deducted eight points last season for two breaches of Profitability and Sustainability Rules, they can ill-afford to lose him for nothing. 

  When asked what would happen if a decent offer came in, Dyche said: "That would be the challenge for the club - for any player, not just Dom.

  "You saw Amadou (Onana) leaving us. There was a level where they think: 'Right that's it, it's got to be done'.

  "That is the current situation of the club. It's not just about the players mentioned, it's about any player.

  "The club has got an outside picture and that's not something I can control. They do need to balance the finances better.

  "We have done a lot of work with that since I've been here."

  Everton begin their Premier League campaign against Brighton on Saturday, with Dyche hoping that Calvert-Lewin can continue his scoring streak against the Seagulls. 

  Calvert-Lewin has three times in his 13 appearances against Brighton, only managing more against Burnley (four), Crystal Palace (five) and Newcastle (six).
