West Ham goalkeeper Hegyi joins Sparta Prague

By Staff Writer — 19 June 2026

West Ham United goalkeeper Krisztian Hegyi has joined Sparta Prague on a permanent transfer.

The 23-year-old Hungarian spent seven years with the Hammers, but failed to make a first-team appearance.

He played more than 90 times for the club’s academy sides and was named in the matchday squad seven times as West Ham won the Uefa Conference League in 2023.

Hegyi was also an unused substitute in the Premier League three times and had loan spells at Stevenage, Motherwell, Dutch side Den Bosch and Hungarian clubs Debrecen and MTK Budapest.

Konate to join Real Madrid on four-year deal

By Staff Writer — 18 June 2026

Real Madrid have agreed a deal to sign Ibrahima Konate on a four-year contract when the France centre-back leaves Liverpool.

The 27-year-old is leaving the Reds on a free transfer at the end of June after the two parties failed to agree a new deal because of a gap between the defender and club over his value and wages.

Real Madrid say they have reached an agreement with Konate “for him to become a Real Madrid player for the next four seasons, until 30 June, 2030”.

Konate, who is part of his country’s squad at the 2026 World Cup, joined Liverpool from RB Leipzig in 2021 for £35m on a five-year contract.

He made 183 appearances for the Anfield club in all competitions and won the Premier League, FA Cup and two League Cups.

Konate recently said he had been “deeply saddened that I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye” to the Liverpool fans when the Reds played their final Premier League game of the season against Brentford on 24 May.

He added: “At that moment, I didn’t know it would be my final time wearing this shirt in front of you.”

Konate joins Real Madrid following the Spanish club appointing Jose Mourinho as their manager for his second spell in charge.

Bernardo Silva and Marc Cucurella are also joining the Bernabeu side this summer.

Portugal midfielder Silva, 31, is another free transfer for Real Madrid, who did not win a trophy last season, following his departure from Manchester City.

Spain defender Cucurella has been signed from Chelsea in a deal worth £52m.

Brest boss & ex-Sunderland midfielder Roy dies aged 58

By Staff Writer — 17 June 2026

Eric Roy managed Nice from 2010 to 2011 before returning to management with Brest more than a decade later

Brest manager Eric Roy has died at the age of 58, the French Ligue 1 club have announced.

A statement by Roy’s family said the former Sunderland midfielder had been fighting pancreatic cancer for three and a half years.

The Frenchman, who was sporting director at Watford in 2019 when the club were in the Premier League, joined Brest in January 2023 and guided them to Champions League qualification for the 2024-25 season - their first ever campaign in Europe.

“It is difficult to find the words to express all the sadness we feel following the passing of our coach Eric Roy,” Brest wrote on X.

“The president, the management, and the entire Stade Brestois 29 share the pain of his family, his wife, his two children, as well as all his loved ones.”

His family wrote: “Dad was deeply kind, tender, upright, and honest. He knew how to encourage, to pass on knowledge, to push others to surpass themselves, to become the best version of themselves.”

“He had that demanding nature, that fairness, and that humanity.”

Roy, who also played for and managed French side Nice, scored one goal during 27 appearances for Sunderland during the 1999-2000 season.

Hearts, Hibs and Motherwell learn European opponents

By Staff Writer — 17 June 2026

Hearts will face Austrian club Sturm Graz in the second round of Champions League qualifying.

Meanwhile, Motherwell have been drawn against Havnar Boltfelag of the Faroe Islands, while Hibernian take on the winners of tie between Vllaznia of Albania and Malisheva of Kosovo, in the same stage of the Conference League.

Hearts will be playing in the qualifiers of Europe’s top club competition for the first time in 20 years after finishing runners-up in the Scottish Premiership following a final-day defeat by reigning champions Celtic.

Sturm Graz also finished second in their domestic league behind LASK.

The Austrian club will host the first leg on 21/22 July, with the reverse fixture the following midweek.

By that time Hearts will likely be under new management, with head coach Derek McInnes seemingly poised to switch to Rangers and the Edinburgh club expected to choose a replacement within days.

Should Hearts defeat Sturm, they will be unseeded and face either Lyon, Bodo/Glimt, Olympiacos or the winner of Fenerbahce v Gornik Zabrze.

If they lose, they will drop into the Europa League third qualifying round and would be unseeded in the same part of the draw as seeded Rangers.

Sturm Graz lost 6-2 on aggregate to Bodo/Glimt in the play-off round last season and beat Rangers 2-1 at home and lost by the same score at Celtic after dropping down to the Europa League and finishing 26th of the 36 teams.

They finished the regular season top by a point, but similar to Hearts, they finished two points behind LASK after the league split into a championship round.

Motherwell, who finished fourth in the Premiership, and Hibs, who were one place behind, will kick-off their campaigns on 23 and 30 July against clubs sitting lower in the European rankings.

Well, currently seeking a new manager after Jens Berthel Askou left for Toulouse, will be at home for their first leg against last year’s runners-up in the Faroe Islands Premier League.

Havnar currently sit sixth in the 2026 table after 13 games and have lost in their opening Conference League qualifier for the last four seasons.

Hibs will be away from home for the first leg in either Albania or Kosovo.

Vllaznia finished third in the Kategoria Superiore, six points behind Egnatia, who were winners for a third year running.

They lost to Vikingur of Iceland at the second qualifying round last season.

Malisheva, who were runners-up in the Kosovo Superleague, also lost to Vikingur in last season’s opening round.
