I’ve taken a long look at Williams-specific markets at various sportsbooks to find the very best ways for you to add him to your NFL picks.
Aaron Ramsey has been left out of Juventus squad for their pre-season tour of the United States amid reports the midfielder wants his contract terminated in Turin.
The Wales international struggled for appearances last season before he was considered surplus to requirements as Massimiliano Allegri sent him on loan to Rangers.
Ramsey helped the Scottish Premiership side to the Europa League final but missed a penalty in the shoot-out as Eintracht Frankfurt lifted the trophy in Seville.
The 31-year-old is entering the final 12 months of his contract with Juve, but reports suggest he wants to cut short his deal to end a frustrating and injury-marred spell with the Serie A side.
Cardiff City are said to be among front-runners to sign Ramsey – who played ju…
Hosts France are among 34 countries to have asked the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to ban Russian and Belarusian athletes from the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
The United States, the United Kingdom and Australia are also among those to have called for a ban to be imposed.
A joint-statement released on Monday detailed reasoning based around Russia s unprovoked and unjustifiable war of choice [against Ukraine], facilitated by the Belarusian government.
Russia s sports minister, Oleg Matytsin, said earlier this month that it was absolutely unacceptable for governments to attempt to influence the IOC.
The IOC confirmed last month it intended to uphold sanctions against Russian and Belarusian state and government officials ahead of next year s Games in …
Kylian Mbappe scored a sublime goal and Neymar converted a penalty as Paris Saint-Germain beat Nantes 2-0 to extend their Ligue 1 winning streak to three matches.
Mbappe, restored to the starting line-up at Mauro Icardi s expense, opened the scoring after 52 minutes with a deft backheel and Neymar netted five minutes from the end on a night when both players could have increased their side s advantage.
But PSG s finishing was as inconsistent as their defending and it was only by virtue of a lack of quality in the Nantes attack that Thomas Tuchel s league-leading side emerged with all three points.
Yet with a five-point cushion now and a game in hand on second-placed Marseille, the champions proved yet again that they can win without playing anywhere near their …
Cody Gakpo and Matthijs de Ligt were among five players sent home from the Netherlands national team camp on Thursday after being hit by a virus.
The drastic news meant coach Ronald Koeman was forced into a rapid rethink of his plans for Friday s Euro 2024 qualifier away to France.
In a statement on its website, the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) said Liverpool forward Gakpo and Bayern Munich defender De Ligt had left the squad, along with Newcastle United defender Sven Botman, PSV midfielder Joey Vermeen and Anderlecht goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen.
Botman, Vermeen and Verbruggen are uncapped and were hoping for their first active involvements with the Oranje, while Gakpo and De Ligt are key figures in the Dutch side.
Koeman called in Vitesse goalk…

Former Aston Villa utility and three-time Socceroo Herd arrives in Perth on a one-year deal, joining fellow recruits and Australia internationals Rhys Williams and Adam Taggart at the club.

Stewart Downing says that as long as he continues his current form, it will be hard for Brendan Rodgers to leave him out of the Liverpool side.
Downing has attracted much criticism for his performances since making a 20 million pound move from Aston Villa to Anfield in the summer of 2011, with youngster Raheem Sterling and then nominal full-back Jose Enrique chosen ahead of him in the wider midfield roles this season.
However, a recent up-turn in form has seen the 28-year-old win back his place in the starting XI, with the winger stating he has used Rodgers public criticism of him earlier this season as motivation to improve, particularly with the Reds strengthening once again in January.
When the manager gave me a change again, it was probably the last one I w…
Spanish daily Chelsea are keeping tabs on Malaga striker Salomon Rondon.
The Blues are looking to sign a replacement for Didier Drogba and the Venezuelan forward is one of the players they are interested in.
Marca reports that the Blues had the player watched in the 2014 World Cup qualifier between Venezuela and Chile.
Rondon failed to make an impact at the game as his side recorded a 2-0 defeat, but the mere fact Chelsea officials traveled to South America to watch the player in action shows they are keen.

Rondon helped los Boquerones achieve a Champions League qualification by scoring 11 goals in 37 La Liga games last t…

High-profile Orlando City signing Kaka revealed discussions regarding his transfer to the MLS expansion franchise started in 2012.
Kaka triggered a clause in his Milan contract allowing him to leave the Serie A outfit should they fail to qualify for the UEFA Champions League to join Orlando as the team s designated player ahead of their inception in 2015.
