A former Premier League champion is training with non-league Aldershot Town while he waits to find a new club. Asmir Begovic claimed a Premier League winners medal with Chelsea in the 2016-17 season and also played for the likes of Everton, Stoke and Portsmouth. He is currently a free agent after his contract with Queens Park Rangers expired last summer. 

Everton hoped to finish sixth in the 2021-22 season, but they didn't get the full amount back in the form of a 10-point deduction as Toffees were stunned by a 10-point decline

In the 2021-2022 season, Everton projected a sixth-place finish before finishing 16th, leaving them out on a £21 million income. Everton's 10-point deduction is continuing after the Toffees were found guilty of breaching the Premier League's financial laws back in the same campaign - suffering three years with staggering losses of nearly £372 million per year. That figure was more than £250 million over what the Premier League's guidelines allow clubs to lose over the three-year cycle, and now the source of their struggles from the season's defeat has been unearthed.

After appearing to dive in Leeds' match against QPR, Patrick Bamford was branded a liar by a commentator on Wednesday night. After Sam Allardyce's season came to an end at the 11th hour, the England international suffered the agony of relegation last season with the Whites. Leeds, on the other hand, haven't been pulling up trees in the Championship, finishing fourth with four victories, two draws, and two losses as they look to bounce right back up under Daniel Farke.

Leeds 1-0 QPR: The Whites return to winning ways thanks to Crysencio Summerville's brace, but Asmir Begovic was sent packing at the time

Leeds will need a few victories like this if they are to return to the Premier League for the first time. Perfunctory, not the most exciting or inspiring - but it's still vital. These must be the home bankers against Queens Park Rangers, who are destined for a season of struggle. Daniel Farke, Norwich's two-time promotion winner, is aware that this is only too well understood. Not every performance can be polished, but there are some highly skilled attacking players at your disposal. Not every scoreline can be deemedable, three or four nil. Some animals have to be ground out, and others have to be satisfied. As if already resigned to a brutal relegation contest, Crysencio Summerville's early goal was enough against a QPR side who gave next to nothing.

Birmingham 0-0 QPR: Stalemate at St Andrew's as both sides find goalkeepers in fine form and struggle for cutting edge in goalless draw

Birmingham and QPR fought for a cutting edge as they sought to salvage a goalless draw in a tumultuous match at St Andrews. Both City's John Ruddy and Asmir Begovic made outstanding saves in the second half, but neither team was able to force a route through and had to settle for a piece of paper. Sam Field's spectacular goal-line clearance from a Steve Cook deflection was the highlight of a drab game, as the QPR midfielder acrobatically blocked the ball from crossing the line. Gareth Ainsworth, the current Rangers chief, will be the most upbeat of the new bosses, with a point and a clean sheet on the road.

Asmir Begovic has delivered a brutally scathing assessment of Chelsea's recent transfer activity, branding Mauricio Pochettino's team as a 'mid table squad' before asking 'why the club is rebuilding?' It comes after the London club has been strongly scrutinized by many in the sport of football after its massive squad change, when new owners, Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital arrived to bring an end to Roman Abramavich's stewardship of the club back in 2022. Chelsea has invested over £1 billion since then, with the club immediately breaking the British transfer record to sign Enzo Fernandez from benfica for £107 million and then signing Moises Caicedo for a whopping £115 million.

Asmir Begovic, the reserve goalkeeper, will also leave after refusing a new contract.

The Mali midfielder spent time in Rennes, France, before moving to England in 2016. As Doucoure's £20 million move to Everton, he spent four years at Vicarage Road, racketing up 141 appearances. Ramadan is a holy month in the Islamic faith, where Muslims will fast during daylight hours and seek to connect with their faith.

Jordan Pickford's latest thigh injury diagnosis, according to Everton club doctors, could be due to his strong kicks. In the 0-0 draw at Goodison Park, the Englishman sustained the injury in the draw against Liverpool in the Merseyside derby, but he was also able to put in a man of the match effort. Pickford will be out of action until after England's next series of fixtures, according to Everton's statement.

Everton 0-1 Fleetwood: Demarai Gray's first-half strike wins by a narrow EFL Cup victory

JOE BERNSTEIN JOE BERNSTEIN — THE HIGHBURY STADIUM — Demarai Gray answered a late SOS to ensure that Everton avoided an embarrassing cup upset at League One Fleetwood. As intended starter Tom Davies complained of a niggle in the warm-up, Gray was promoted from the substitutes' bench shortly before kick-off. Frank Lampard, the only Everton player to have scored in the Premier League this season, had a lucky break as a visitor led the visitors ahead after 28 minutes.

Asmir Begovic, Manchester United's most recent surprise trade target, is eager to return to action, as Erik ten Hag is eager to add back-up

Ten Hag had previously requested that the budget for a second-choice keeper be increased from £1million to £7 million, with veteran goal Tom Heaton the only alternative between the sticks in the case of De Gea's injury. Begovic will have a Premier League title as well as more than 250 Premier League appearances, but he will most likely only have temporary cover as a No. 2 until a younger alternative can be found. Ten Hag is keen to bring in a competent second choice keeper with the ability to push and compete with his Spanish shot stopper, which has resulted in the increase in available funds.
