Kylian Mbappe wants to play in Premier League or LaLiga in 2021

Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe wants a move to the Premier League or LaLiga in the next summer.

Real Madrid has been a long admirer of the Frenchman. Club president, Florentino Perez wants to bring the World Cup winner to the Bernabeu.

Mbappe also admires his fellow countryman, Zinedine Zidane, who is the current manager of Real Madrid. Perez has given the responsibility of bringing Mbappe to Real Madrid to Zidane.

According to a report by Sunday Times, Mbappe would like a move to either LaLiga or the Premier League, with Real Madrid and Liverpool touted as a potential destination.

Kylian Mbappe joined PSG from Monaco in 2018 for a reported fee of around €145m. He has scored 90 goals in 124 games for the club till now.

The World Cup winner said in January: “What Liverpool do in this moment is amazing,”

“They’re like a machine, they’ve found a rhythm and are like ‘we play again, we play again’. When you watch you think everything’s easy, but that’s not easy. The guys are focused, they play games every three days and they win, they win, they win.”

“Performances like they have been having don’t just happen. To be as ruthless as they have been would come from lots of hard work in training and from having a very good manager.”

Mbappe has reportedly told PSG sporting director Leonardo that he wants to leave in 2021. Real Madrid and Liverpool will definitely be in the market for the next big star in world football.

Tottenham announce signing of two-time World Cup winner Alex Morgan

0

While the Premier League season kicked off yesterday, the FA Women’s Super League kicked off last Sunday. The Tottenham Hotspur women’s team has successfully negotiated the signing of the 31-year-old striker Alex Morgan on a loan deal. She is set to play with Spurs for the entirety of the 2020-21 season.

Morgan previously played for Orlando Pride of the NWSL. She now becomes the fifth American player to make the move abroad.

Lauded as one of the best female strikers in the world, Morgan has been a superstar for the USWNT. She guided the women’s team to two successive World Cup victories and has scored 107 goals in 169 appearances for her national team.

She was awarded the US Soccer’s Female Player of the Year award in 2018 and also managed to take home the silver boot along with the 2019 World Cup. Her goal tally was equal to that of her teammate Megan Rapinoe, and she only lost out on the fewest minutes rule.

While the USWNT star has not played since May due to the birth of her son, Charlie, few can doubt her talent and her skills.

Along with the World Cup, Morgan has also led the national team to multiple Olympic medals and looks to gain her match fitness back before the time comes once again next year.

While local rivals Chelsea and Arsenal have dominated the Women’s Super League for the last few years, Morgan’s arrival can provide competition to the Blues and the Gunners if she manages to hit the ground running.

Morgan is also recognized as an author, a graduate in political economy and the face of women’s football in the States. She is easily the most beloved player of all, becoming a symbol for combating sexism in the sport.

Fans have reacted very positively to the Lilywhites’ newest signing as they welcomed the player to the London based club over on Twitter.

Nvidia to purchase UK’s Arm Holdings for $40bn

0

SoftBank is reportedly trying to sell UK’s Arm Holdings to US chip company Nvidia. The bidding price is said to be more than $40bn. Sources claim that a cash-and-stock take over by Nvidia may be announced as soon as Monday. This will make SoftBank the largest shareholder in the US chip company.

News of the deal began making rounds in July earlier and was reported that Nvidia was the only suitor for the SoftBank. If the deal receives a greenlit, it will be one of the largest deals ever in the chip sector.

ARM is semiconductor and software design company wholly owned by Japanese conglomerate SoftBank Group and its Vision Fund. 

Nvidia will become a Global leader in Chipmaker Sector

It’s not just any small brand. The company’s chip power mobile device processors for companies including Apple, Samsung, and Qualcomm. The value of ARM chips has only gone up in recent times. With Microsoft manufacturing ARM-based Surface models and Apple planning to switch Macs to ARM-based chipsets. Nvidia will make a fortune if it manages to acquire ARM holdings.

Nvidia is currently the worlds leading GPU maker. But it does not have a market share when it comes to the CPU design. With the acquisition of ARM, Nvidia is likely to enter the CPU market in the coming future.

ARM chipsets have seen a wide range of applications in various fields. Demands for ARM-based chipsets have been increasing in mobile devices, data centers, and personal computers including Apple’s Mac and Microsofts Surface. With its 6nm chipset designs set to revolutionize the Chromebook market and ARM is not just any small player in the chipset market.

Nvidia recently overtook Intel in becoming the world’s most valuable chipmaker. ARM would transform Nvidia’s product line up completely. The company has only focused on providing powerful graphics processors that are designed to handle focused, data-intensive tasks.

This deal will make Nvidia the centre of Semiconductor industry.

Barcelona vs Tarragona, a glimpse of the future!

0

Barca dispatched Gimnastic Tarragona of the Segunda B division in a 3-1 victory at the Estadi Johan Cruyff on Saturday evening. The victory featured Antoine Griezmann, Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele on the scoresheet. The three of whom have struggled to make a consistent impact for their new team.

However, the highlight of the evening wasn’t the redemption of the 100 million plus club. No. It was the performance of the young players that really came into the limelight. Here are all the youngsters that made a mark in Saturday’s friendly victory.

Carles Alena

Setien wants Carles Alena for Barca's next season

After completing his loan spell at Real Betis, Alena made his return to his boyhood club on Saturday. Operating in the heart of the midfield, he did very well to dictate the pace and the flow of the game. He must give it all on the pitch if he hopes to break into the first team this season.

Riqui Puig

Ansu Fati and Riqui Puig show their talent in the match against Leganes

Puig is one of the most highly-rated youngsters coming out of Camp Nou. His agility and activeness on the pitch were on display all over the second half, after coming off the bench. Also one of the quickest on the pitch, Puig has a very bright future ahead of him. All he needs to do is learn from his mistakes and be consistent with his good performances.

Pedri

Trincao & Pedri are believed untouchables for transfers by Barcelona board

After joining Barcelona from Las Palmas, Pedri made his debut for his new club in the friendly match. The 17-year-old created great plays and was one of the most active attackers in their win. He stands out for his extremely mature mentality for a 17-year-old player and will be one to watch this season.

Francisco Trincao

The 20-year-old Portuguese winger was the best player on the pitch in the second half. He absolutely befuddled defenders with his impressive dribbling skills, showing fans exactly why the club paid €31 million to seal his move from Braga. The winger was unstoppable, even with the number of fouls that the opposition defenders had to make to stop him.

While the future looks very exciting for the Catalonian giants, it remains to be seen is when these players will fulfill their potential.

Chinese administration raises its concerns over the TikTok’s sale to an American company

We all know what’s going to happen to TikTok after September 15 if they don’t hand over their US operations to any homegrown business and for those of them who don’t have any idea, The Trump administration passed an executive order last month that it will be banning TikTok in the United States over the security concerns but TikTok can be saved from this ban if they sell their US business to any American company and several bidders have come into light such as Microsoft, Oracle, and even Twitter has expressed its interest in purchasing TikTok’s US operations but till now we don’t have a name.

Well, China wants to keep it like this since a recent report from Reuters suggests that Chinese authorities believe that selling even US’ operations of TikTok after a forced ban threat from the White House would reflect China as a weak country and according to few unknown sources that can’t be afforded and the Chinese administration would prefer closing down the app instead of bowing down in front of the United States.

Not only this but there are high chances that China can block the deal on their end in accordance with a recent revision to the list of technology exports that will prevent TikTok’s recommendation algorithm from crossing the borders and it seems like TikTok and the potential buyers have kept this in mind so according to sources they are actively looking out for another way to get around this.

TikTok is surely not having the best year just like us since its getting outrage from every country over its security concern and its relations to Chinese authorities but TikTok even tried to clear out the air after the India ban but it didn’t help it a much then CEO Kevin Mayer left the company over the political issues and now this ban in the US is hovering above its head so this all looks like the end of TikTok in the west but who knows what is going to happen so it will be best to wait till September 15.

If China is so against the purchase of TikTok US’ operation by an American company then it seems highly unlikely that they’ll be approving its sale to an Indian company since the relation between the India and China has not been the best since last few months so chances are high that TikTok might not be coming back to India soon or maybe never.

Already, Sony have given a chance to their existing users with ‘US-based address’ to pre-order and reserve a PS5 console as Sony claims there’s a limited quantity of PS5 available. However, it will be interesting to see how Sony counters Microsoft’s lucrative Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox All Access program on 16th September.

Like the Microsoft Xbox consoles, the Sony PS5 will be powered by AMD hardware and here’s what you can expect from it:

  • Key features: Up to 8K resolution, 4K games at 60 fps, ray tracing, fast-loading SSD, up to 120 frames per second.

  • Key games: Horizon II Forbidden West, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Demon, Souls, Gran Turismo 7, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Sack Boy A Big Adventure.
  • DualSense Controller: A new design and two-tone look, reduced weight while retaining a strong battery inside, new adaptive triggers into the L2 and R2 buttons, a new ‘Create’ button

Folding iPhones are now one step closer to reality

As we know Apple’s quite busy with iPhone 12 lineup but that doesn’t mean that they are not keeping up with the trend or even looking news these days or if you’re thinking they are just working on this year’s iPhone then my friend you’re wrong as Apple has been working on the folding iPhone something similar to Samsung’s Fold Z.

According to a tipster named IceUniverse, Apple is currently in talks with Samsung to supply a large number of sample units of foldable phone screens and “hopes to exclusively supply the amount for one year”. Well, this means only one thing that Apple is currently experimenting with the foldable since a folding iPhone is far from reality as of now.

According to various sources, Apple is currently toying around with the design and nothing is final as of now and they are not even sure whether it should be even released or not. Two patents have been leaked so far which visualizes the folding iPhone idea into two totally different ways. In one of the patents, it is being shown as two displays stuck together with a hinge something like Surface Duo while in the other one it has a design similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold.

Earlier this year, Jon Prosser has also shared a bit about the folding iPhone which sounded much like the first prototype the one like Surface Duo but they aren’t exactly like that as he describes it to be continuous and seamless.

One thing we know for sure is that Apple won’t be releasing any product till its perfect whether its a normal iPhone or a folding one and current news only suggests that Apple is just exploring the possibilities and a tech giant like Apple is known for experimenting years before even the device gets to see the light so we will suggest you to not get happy and wait for a year or two to see it happening in real.
