Newcastle Eyeing Move to Sign Antonee Robinson, He’s Tempted to Join
Newcastle United are eyeing a move to sign Fulham star Antonee Robinson this summer, according to journalist Alan Nixon.
The Magpies have had a difficult summer so far, losing Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali before manager Eddie Howe resigned from his post, and captain Bruno Guimaraes is also on the verge of joining Arsenal after an agreement in principle was reached.
The manager’s exit has also led to major speculation that defender Lewis Hall could be on the move, with Man Utd heavily linked, and the club are now eyeing up a potential replacement in his position.
Newcastle Eyeing Robinson
Robinson, who has been described as ‘world-class’, has been heavily linked with a move away from Fulham for several windows after emerging as one of the top left-backs in the Premier League with his performances.
But a number of injury issues last season saw him restricted to just 17 starts in the 2025/26 season, and the USA international, who turns 29 in August, could now be allowed to leave the Cottagers as a result.
Newcastle are hopeful of agreeing a fee that works for both clubs, although a number isn’t mentioned as part of the article. It’s also stated, however, that Robinson could be tempted to make the switch to St James’ Park, despite the major losses within the squad.
Any move is expected to raise questions about Hall’s future, with the squad not needing two starting-quality left-backs this season as Newcastle don’t have European football, meaning they have a more limited schedule.
The Toon have already brought in Ewen Jaouen, Bazoumana Toure, Seun Steur, and Aladji Bamba this summer, while a deal to bring in a new number one goalkeeper in Lukas Hornicek from Braga is also close to being completed.

Robinson a Shrewd Signing at Right Price
Robinson has been one of the top performing left-backs in the Premier League in recent seasons, but with Marco Silva leaving Fulham this summer, there is a good opportunity for a new start for the American.
Newcastle would provide him with a chance to be competitive, and new manager Matthias Jaissle is someone who likes attacking football, which will play into the way he likes to play too.
Hall is the better player of the two, and is younger, so selling him for Robinson would make little sense. But if it’s a case of replacing Hall due to a move elsewhere, then Robinson would be a shrewd bit of business for the right price.

Oscar Pistorius Now Has Completely New Career and Girlfriend
Oscar Pistorius, the disgraced Paralympic champion, is reportedly building a quiet new life in Pretoria more than 13 years after murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
The former “Blade Runner”, who won six Paralympic golds and became the first double amputee to compete at the Olympics, shot Steenkamp four times through a locked bathroom door in February 2013. He was released on parole in 2024 and has rarely been seen in public since.
Now 39, Pistorius reportedly looks noticeably different from his athletic prime: Greyer, stubbled, and often dressed in a way that obscures his prosthetics.
Locals in the upscale Waterkloof suburb say he keeps a low profile on morning coffee runs, usually with his small poodle in tow, and is rarely recognised by other customers.
Oscar Pistorius’ New Job and Life Away from Olympic Competition
Pistorius reportedly lost his sponsorship deals once he was charged, and was later banned from competitive sport altogether, ruling him out of events like this year’s Commonwealth Games.
He has apparently found new physical outlets instead, taking up padel and entering local Ironman triathlons, reportedly finishing well down the overall field in 555th, but placing third in the physically-challenged category of a race in Durban last year, albeit under a different name.
Sources close to the area say he also began working for a sound engineering company in 2025, despite reportedly having little financial need given the wealth of his uncle Arnold, who has housed him since his teenage years and is said to be one of the richest men in the region.
Oscar Pistorius’ New Girlfriend and Newfound Faith
On the personal side, Pistorius is said to have a new partner, Rita Greyling, who bears a striking resemblance to Steenkamp. The pair reportedly attend a modern, youth-oriented gospel church together, a departure from the traditional Afrikaans congregation his family once favoured.
Their relationship is understood to have become public when they attended his sister’s wedding last year. Churchgoers describe him as an active volunteer, helping with tasks like parking and serving refreshments, and say he has found a sense of community there.
Steenkamp’s father Barry, who died having maintained until the end that Pistorius killed his daughter deliberately, always rejected any suggestion of forgiveness. His family has said the case nearly bankrupted them, and many feel they are the ones left serving a life sentence, rather than the one they felt should have been handed to Pistorius.

Man Utd Must Go All-Out to Sign Real Madrid Star Endrick
Manchester United have been in the market to bolster their midfield all summer, and Real Madrid star Aurelien Tchouameni has emerged as the top target.
Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans have already arrived for a combined £83m, but Michael Carrick is understood to still be pushing for at least one more arrival following the departure of Casemiro at the end of his contract, and Manuel Ugarte’s serious knee injury, which he suffered at the World Cup.
But while midfield has been a major priority, Tchouameni’s move to Old Trafford remains at a standstill, with it still being unclear whether the player wants the move, or if Real Madrid would even be open to a sale.
Madrid’s Rodri Move Stalling Man Utd Business
Part of the reason for the move not progressing is that Real Madrid are now eyeing a move for Man City star Rodri. Should that move progress, with the midfielder keen to make the switch back to his homeland, then they are likely to need to make a sale.
Tchouameni is the obvious option, with such strong interest, but he isn’t the only one, and it’s possible that he could stay even if Rodri arrives.
With so much uncertainty around the situation, Man Utd simply cannot afford to wait around and see if a deal could happen. They need to make a final decision to ensure their new-look midfield is in place when the season starts.
Players like Carlos Baleba remain active options for the midfield, and United could easily switch their priority to that to make sure. But that doesn’t mean that contact with Real Madrid needs to stop.
Midfield isn’t the only position that Man Utd want to strengthen in this window, with left-back and the attack also in need of reinforcements before the window closes. Real Madrid are likely to make more sales before the deadline too, and one star in particular should be at the top of Man Utd’s radar.

Man Utd Must Go All-Out for Endrick
Reports have emerged that Real Madrid could be willing to sell Brazilian forward Endrick, following the imminent arrival of Yan Diomande and new striker Carlos Espi.
Endrick, who has been described as a ‘game-changer’, spent the second half of the 2025/26 season on loan at Lyon and registered eight goals and eight assists in 21 appearances for the French side, playing as both a number nine and on the right wing.
With Man Utd keen to add to their attack to find cover and competition for Benjamin Sesko, as well as question marks over Marcus Rashford’s future, this is the perfect opportunity to do just that and bring in a top talent who is ready to explode.
Tchouameni is a top footballer and would be perfect for the midfield, but a deal isn’t in their control at this stage. Should Man Utd complete a deal for Baleba and then sign Endrick on top of that, it would arguably make the squad even stronger.

Oba Femi’s Body Transformation Since His First Match With Brock Lesnar
Ahead of his Hell in a Cell showdown with Brock Lesnar at WWE SummerSlam on Saturday night, footage has emerged revealing Oba Femi’s considerable body transformation for the biggest match of his career.
As WWE prepares to descend on Minneapolis, Minnesota, Lesnar’s hometown, the rivalry is tied at one apiece.
Femi arrives with a physique that looks very different from that which he was sporting during the pair’s first meeting at WrestleMania 42 in April.
Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar Explored
Oba shocked the WWE Universe at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, dismantling Lesnar in what many believed was the 49-year-old’s final match.
‘The Beast Incarnate’ looked to be saying his goodbyes to WWE as he removed his gloves and boots while fighting back tears. However, he would be back in action just a matter of weeks later.
Lesnar resurfaced in May, challenging Oba to a rematch at Clash in Italy. Brock got his win back after hitting seven F5s on ‘The Ruler’, setting the stage for a Hell in a Cell rubber match inside U.S. Bank Stadium.
Likely knowing that he was going to be working a long-term feud with Lesnar, Oba has certainly been putting in the work in the gym since WrestleMania.
A viral social media post has captured the huge difference in Femi’s physique after his body transformation was on full display during this past week’s episode of Raw on Netflix. Femi weighed in at 302 pounds, eight pounds lighter than when he made his debut.
Oba Femi’s Transformed Physique Ahead of SummerSlam Match With Lesnar
The visual evidence was undeniable. Oba appears noticeably leaner than he was at WrestleMania, with his abs now clearly visible. The caption attached to the comparison footage pointed out that Femi had traded a “bulky look” for a new “shredded” physique.
Oba’s decision to relinquish his world title opportunity after winning the King of the Ring tournament in favour of facing Brock underscores how personal this rivalry has become.
Ultimately, ending the feud with Lesnar matters more than championship gold. It is likely that the company believes that beating Lesnar in his hometown inside Hell in a Cell will elevate Femi in ways a belt can’t.
While the pair are bitter rivals on screen, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque recently revealed that Lesnar had become a mentor to Femi backstage.
Speaking onBusted Open Radio, Triple H admitted:”He’d probably suplex me for saying this, but Brock is hands-on with Oba Femi. He sees something special there, and he’s like, ‘Okay kid, come with me, and I’m going to teach you. Here’s all the things you got to learn.’ He brings him in his room in the afternoon. They sit for hours and talk about this stuff, right?
Whether Brock was a driving force behind Femi’s decision to lean up may never be known. What is known is that Oba is a major favourite to win Saturday’s Hell in a Cell match, a result that would see the 28-year-old claim the biggest win of his career as he continues to cement his place in the main event scene.
