Mohamed Elneny has extended his stay at Arsenal.

The Gunners have not revealed the length of his new deal but it is believed to be 12 months.&nbsp;

Elneny, 29, said: "I love this club and I feel like part of this family. I want to continue at this amazing club and amazing family and I’m very happy and very excited for the future."

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta added: "Mo is a really important part of the team. He brings endless energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the team and is loved by everyone.&nbsp;

"He's an important player for us on and off the pitch, a real role model to our younger players and I'm delighted he's staying."

Elneny has made 147 appearances, scoring five goals and contributing 10 assists, since joining the Gunners from Basel in 2016.&nbsp;

Promising forward Dane Scarlett has signed a new deal with Tottenham — tying him to the club until 2026.&nbsp;

Scarlett, 18, made seven first-term appearances for Spurs this season, most recently as a second-half sub in the 4-0 win over Leeds in February.&nbsp;

The youngster said: "I'm really proud and excited to see what the future brings. I'm happy to be here, enjoying my football.&nbsp;

"If I stay focused and keep working hard, everything will pan out for me."

The kits Sarina Wiegman's England stars will wear at Women's Euro 2022 have been unveiled by Nike.&nbsp;

As you would expect, the home shirt is in the traditional white and the away strip is red, though it is a lighter shade than normally associated with the country.&nbsp;

Paris Saint-Germain have suspended women's coach Didier Olle-Nicolle while the club investigate allegations of "inappropriate behaviour and remarks".

Olle-Nicolle took charge of PSG at the end of last season following their D1 Feminine title success.

PSG are second in the table this season, needing to beat title rivals Lyon in their penultimate game on Sunday to keep their slim championship hopes alive.

But preparations for that game have been overshadowed by allegations made relating to Olle-Nicolle that, the club say, "if confirmed, would be incompatible with the sporting and human values of Paris Saint-Germain".

A statement late on Tuesday read: "Paris Saint-Germain was informed today of inappropriate behaviour and remarks to which members of its women's team have allegedly been exposed.

"These facts and statements, if confirmed, would be incompatible with the sporting and human values of Paris Saint-Germain.

"Paris Saint-Germain takes the situation very seriously and intends to shed light on the facts and remarks reported.

"In this context and in order to preserve the interests of all stakeholders, the coach of the women's team has been put on leave today, by mutual agreement with Paris Saint-Germain.

"This measure is of a precautionary and temporary nature. It does not prejudge in any way the results of the internal investigation that will be conducted, nor the decisions that the club may have to take."

Reiss Nelson is firing on all cylinders at Feyenoord and the Dutch giants are on the brink of European glory.

Having endured a stuttering start to the season, the Arsenal loanee has found his feet in recent months — hitting a rich vein of form for the Eredivisie side.&nbsp;

Ahead of tonight's Europa Conference League final against Roma, we take a look at what the future holds for the Rotterdam outfit's No14.

Injuries have limited Nelson's involvement at Feyenoord this season — but he has still managed four goals and seven assists in Eredivisie and Europa Conference League matches.&nbsp;

The winger has played a combined 1440 minutes in those competitions, meaning he has chipped in with a goal or an assist every 131 minutes on average. That equates to just over two contributions every three games.&nbsp;

His 0.4 assists and 0.5 big chances created per 90 minutes also rank eighth and sixth in the Dutch top flight, respectively.&nbsp;

Nelson is an effective dribbler too. In fact, only six players in the division can better his record of 2.77 take-ons completed per 90.&nbsp;

And an underrated aspect of the 22-year-old's game is his pressing, with no Eredivisie player winning possession in the attacking third more often per 90 than him (1.49).

Reiss Nelson has provided a dynamic attacking threat in the Eredivisie for Feyenoord

Nelson recently explained how Feyenoord's sports scientists have helped him cope with the intensity of training sessions at the club — preventing the recurring injuries which had been hampering his progress.&nbsp;

He said: "The intensity was pretty high in training. Monday to Wednesday would be pretty tough. At Arsenal, Monday and Tuesday, we'd do more technical stuff.&nbsp;

"So I just had to adapt and with that came a few niggles that I had to treat on my own.

"Now I'm in the gym a bit earlier and leave later, to make sure those niggles don't appear again.&nbsp;

"[Sports scientists] Leigh [Egger], Tim [Janssen] and Ruben [Peeters] are pushing me every day and I'm getting more confidence in doing five minutes of foam rolling, a 10-minute stretch or the one I don't like — the ice bath.&nbsp;

"It's the little things that give you an extra five to 10 games a season."

Reiss Nelson has scored four times for Feyenoord in all competitions this term

Nelson's displays in the Netherlands could well have earned him a spot in Arsenal's first-team squad for next term.&nbsp;

The Gunners' presence in Europe means there will be plenty of minutes to go around.&nbsp;

And the poor performances of Nicolas Pepe, who has just two years remaining on his contract, could well see the Ivory Coast international offloaded — creating room for a right winger to provide cover and competition for Bukayo Saka.&nbsp;

Nelson will reportedly hold talks with boss Mikel Arteta to assess his future this summer. An impressive pre-season could be enough to convince the Spanish manager of his qualities.

Reiss Nelson has provided creativity with his passing into central areas from out wide

Should Nelson fail to sufficiently impress Arteta, however, it may be that the Gunners boss looks to further his development with another loan.&nbsp;

Having already spent time with Bundesliga side Hoffenheim before his spell at Feyenoord, it is likely that this third loan move would be to a Premier League side — in order to give Nelson valuable experience in the English top flight.&nbsp;

However, the Southwark native would have to agree to a contract extension for this to be viable, with just one year remaining on his current deal at Arsenal.

The alternative is that Nelson decides his career is best served by moving elsewhere permanently.&nbsp;

If the former England Under-21s international turns down a new contract — should it be forthcoming — then he will be in a strong position to force through a move away.&nbsp;

After all, Arsenal would hardly be able to refuse his request, or they risk losing him for free in a year's time.&nbsp;

There could be plenty of suitors ready to make their move if he becomes available in the coming months.

The 2022 summer transfer window for the Premier League opens on Friday, June 10.

Clubs in England will be able to complete transfers from that date but most international associations do not open for business until Friday, July 1, meaning arrangements involving teams from other leagues will not be sealed until then. &nbsp;

Manchester City have already announced the £51million capture of goalscoring phenomenon Erling Haaland, 21, from Borussia Dortmund but the deal will not become official until July 1.&nbsp;

Philippe Coutinho's move to Aston Villa has become permanent after a £17m fee was accepted by Barcelona, following his successful spell on loan at Villa Park. &nbsp;

Germany defender Antonio Rudiger has agreed a four-year deal to join Real Madrid and will complete his move to LaLiga as a free agent when his present contract at Chelsea expires.

The summer transfer window will close again at 11pm (BST) on Thursday, September 1.&nbsp;

That same day should also see the end of the summer transfer windows in Germany, Italy, Spain, France and other major European leagues.

Summer transfer window 2022: Every confirmed Premier League deal

Gareth Southgate believes it is an "embarrassment" England is playing next month's Nations League match at home to Italy behind closed doors.

June's Euro 2020 final rematch at the Molineux Stadium will be held without fans in attendance, after UEFA sanctioned the English Football Association for crowd trouble that marred that Wembley loss for Southgate's side.

Fans burst into the stadium without tickets and fought with stewards as England lost in that dramatic penalty shootout, and were given a two-game attendance ban by European football's governing body as a result.

Asked if the FA were given a lenient ruling upon announcing his squad for the upcoming international window, Southgate was blunt on England and English football's reputation.

"Well, we're on a yellow card aren't we, so we are where we are," Southgate said. "We've got the embarrassment now of playing behind closed doors at home.

"Normally when you watch those things having happened abroad, we're all grandstanding about how it's someone else's problem and how this country should be dealt with - and now it's us. That's not a good optic for our country.

"There's clearly a responsibility within football because, when it's in our environment, we've got to do all we can to try to make sure it doesn't happen."

England will play four Nations League fixtures in June, with away trips to Hungary and Germany, before facing Italy and playing out the return fixture with Hungary.

The games come on the back of a recent spate of crowd trouble to mark the end of the English domestic season.

Sheffield United striker Billy Sharp was struck by a fan in their Championship playoff against Nottingham Forest, while Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira was involved in a scuffle with a supporter following their loss to Everton. This weekend, Aston Villa goalkeeper Robin Olsen was assaulted by a pitch-invading Manchester City supporter.

In response, Southgate has urged for English football to show restraint and avoid changes that can obstruct the matchday experience. &nbsp;

"We all recognise that, but it's a wider problem," he said. "It's behaviour and a reflection on where we are as a country.

"It's a difficult time for people, we're going to have more difficult times because of the economy and the realities of the situation we're in.

"How do we want to be viewed as a country because that's manifesting itself in football at the moment and that's not a good look. We don't want to go back to fences up and the type of environment that created."

Ilkay Gundogan revealed Jurgen Klopp was one of the first to congratulate him after Manchester City beat Liverpool to the Premier League title on Sunday.

Gundogan came off the bench to score twice as City came from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Aston Villa 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

The win meant Klopp's Liverpool remained a point from City in the race for the Premier League, but that did not stop the 54-year-old from getting in touch.

Gundogan played under Klopp at Borussia Dortmund between 2011 and 2015, before the latter left for Anfield, and the 31-year-old revealed his former boss was quick to put his own ambitions aside.

"He was one of the first," Gundogan told Sport1. "We have always treated each other with the utmost respect. He had another very good season with Liverpool and made life extremely difficult for us. He's just an outstanding guy and coach, and he's shown that over the years.

"That was absolutely unbelievable. The fact that we won the title in front of a home crowd in this way was really picture-perfect. The stadium literally exploded, we just cried out our joy and relief.

"We had to play our absolute maximum for 38 games and couldn't afford to be careless because Liverpool were lurking at every second. It was a great end to a long and nerve-wracking season."

In Sergio Aguero's absence, City's midfield has had to carry added responsibility in goal output and Gundogan has been a steady contributor in that regard, backing up last season's 13 goals with eight in the Premier League this term.

Reflecting on the win over Villa and the wider context of the game, he believes that his winning goal ranks as the most important of his career.

"Based on the ending, I would say yes - and definitely one of my most emotional ones," Gundogan said. "The goal in the 2013 Champions League final for BVB against Bayern [Munich] was also important, even if it wasn't enough in the end.

"On Sunday, a great deal of pressure was lifted because we struggled so much over the entire 90 minutes and we knew that Liverpool were breathing down our necks."

Gundogan: Klopp one of the first to congratulate me

City Football Group chief executive Ferran Soriano says Erling Haaland could have gone anywhere, but chose to play under Pep Guardiola in Manchester.

The Norwegian&nbsp;forward landed in Manchester on Tuesday to finalise a £51million move from Borussia Dortmund, after completing his medical.

City essentially won the Premier League without a striker this season, with Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez the three players to break the 10-goal barrier.

Soriano believes Haaland will ultimately adapt and thrive at City and despite how Guardiola's side has counteracted the need for a centre forward like him this season, he is still required.

"Haaland has chosen us because we explained a project to him,"&nbsp;Soriano told RAC 1. "What we pay him could be paid by PSG, [Manchester] United, Bayern [Munich] or Real Madrid. We put the focus on football.

"Haaland will need a period of adjustment and we will have to be patient, but he will succeed. Our focus is on football, playing well and winning, rather than star players, and we were missing a centre forward.

"We had someone spectacular like [Sergio] Aguero. We lost him because of his age, and we have been looking for a replacement for more than a year and Haaland is one."

Soriano also refuted suggestions City are state-owned like Paris Saint-Germain and pointed to their shareholder structure, with Chinese and American consortiums owning a 24 per cent stake.

Meanwhile, the ex-Barcelona vice president used examples within the Premier League like Manchester United and Chelsea to suggest City's dominance is not simply financially driven.

"We are not a state club, we are a club owned by three shareholders looking for profitability," he said.

"The French market is different because the gap between PSG and the rest of the&nbsp;French clubs is huge. City and PSG are not the same.

"City has less income than United or Chelsea, for example. The debate about state clubs is ridiculous, because United has spent much more than us."

Soriano: Haaland chose City ahead of PSG and Real

Paris Saint-Germain women's head coach Didier Olle-Nicolle has been suspended following allegations of "inappropriate behaviour and remarks".

The French club announced in a statement on Tuesday that Olle-Nicolle will not be involved in team&nbsp;duties while an internal investigation takes place.

Olle-Nicolle, 61, has been in charge since July 2021.

"Paris Saint-Germain has been made aware of inappropriate behaviour and remarks that members of its Women's Team have been exposed to," a PSG statement read.

"These remarks and events, if confirmed, would be incompatible with Paris Saint-Germain’s sporting and human values.

"Paris Saint-Germain is taking this situation seriously and intends to bring to light the reported events and remarks.

"In order to protect the interests of all parties, the coach of the Women's Team has been suspended today, in agreement with Paris Saint-Germain.&nbsp;

"This is a fair and temporary measure. It will not prejudice the internal investigation that will be undertaken, nor impact the decisions that the club may be led to take."

PSG are second in the French top flight and host leaders Lyon, who are five points better off, in their penultimate game of the campaign on Sunday.

They won the French Cup earlier this month&nbsp;and also reached the last four of the Women's Champions League, where they were eliminated by eventual champions Lyon.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has pipped Manchester City's Pep Guardiola to the League Managers Association's (LMA) Manager of the Year award.

Klopp masterminded a superb second half to the Premier League season, yet it was not enough to overhaul City, who claimed the title on a dramatic final day of the campaign on Sunday.

The Reds went the entire season unbeaten at home, doing so for a joint-record fifth time in the Premier League.&nbsp;

Liverpool have also excelled in cup competitions under Klopp this term, having won the FA Cup and EFL Cup.

They will complete a cup treble on Saturday if they overcome Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Paris.

Reflecting on the dramatic final day, which saw City score three goals in the space of five minutes to beat Aston Villa 3-2, Klopp said: "It was a bit nervy, it wasn't the best outcome for us, but we are already over it.

"And when you win a prize like this you are either a genius or you have the best coaching staff in the world. I am here with four of my coaching staff, and they know how much I appreciate them."

It is the second time Klopp has claimed the award, which is combined with the Premier League Manager of the Year award, after the&nbsp;German was recognised in 2020 for leading Liverpool to the title.

Eddie Howe, Patrick Vieira and Thomas Frank, of Newcastle United, Crystal Palace and Brentford respectively, were also up for the award.

Jose Mourinho has said Wednesday's inaugural Europa Conference League final will be about "finishing a journey" as his Roma side prepare to take on Feyenoord.

The Giallorossi&nbsp;beat Leicester City in the semi-finals and&nbsp;finished sixth in Serie A this season to&nbsp;qualify&nbsp;for next season's Europa League.

Mourinho&nbsp;recently insisted that winning the Europa Conference League will mean as much to him as his&nbsp;Champions League titles&nbsp;with Porto and Inter.

The game with their Dutch opponents will take place at&nbsp;Arena Kombetare in Tirana, Albania, and speaking at a media conference on Tuesday, Mourinho said winning the first edition of the competition was a key target for his team.&nbsp;

"To me this final is not about writing history," he said.&nbsp;"It's about finishing a journey we've been on this season and achieving one of the targets we've always had.

"Me and my staff have been at Trigoria since the Torino game, preparing for this game. The squad look in good shape to me, ready for this."
