News about Mats Wieffer

This summer's transfer window has already been a busy one, with every team besides Liverpool bringing in new signings to bolster their artillery. Here are the new WAGs we can expect to see in the stands throughout the 2024-24 Premier League season.

James Milner has broken a mind-boggling Premier League record after his Brighton side demolished Everton on the opening weekend of the season. The veteran midfielder started for the Seagulls in their 3-0 victory over Sean Dyche 's men this afternoon, putting in a typically assured performance in a convincing team display. The 38-year-old joined summer signings Yankuba Minteh and Mats Wieffer in a midfield which ran the show at Goodison Park to give manager Fabian Hurzeler a winning start to life in the Premier League. And it was Milner who stole the headlines, despite the inclusion of the exciting new faces, as he lined up once again for a top-flight season, having made his debut in 2002 for Leeds United when his boss was just nine years old.

SIMON JONES: Brighton have had a £25m bid accepted for Feyenoord defensive midfielder Mats Wieffer, 24. The Seagulls, who had a £30m bid rejected for Leeds United forward Georginio Rutter, have also offered £7m plus add-ons for Gothenburg midfielder Malick Yalcouye, 18. Liverpool are not in for Wieffer as they believe they have enough cover - despite Dutch reports.

STEPHEN MCGOWAN IN ROTTERDAM: Reserves of £72.3 million in the bank served no purpose when they were two goals down to a Feyenoord side with less turnover. When they were selling comic-book goals at bad times, a loss of £40.7 million was negligible. In a tumultuous and tumescent second half, Gustaf Lagerbielke and Odin Thiago Holm, two of their summer project signings, received red cards.

CHRIS WHEELER IN DUBLIN:Wout Weghorst gave Irish hearts a break with the aim that almost certainly ends their hopes of automatic qualification for Euro 2024, and heaps more pressure on boss Stephen Kenny. At the Aviva Stadium last night, the former Manchester United striker, who failed to impress during a loan stint at Old Trafford last season and now plays for Hoffenheim in Germany, stepped off the bench to finish Holland's comeback after Ireland stunned Ronaldo Koeman's side by taking the lead.

Despite away supporters being barred from attending the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday, officials in Rome are apparently gearing up for the arrival of around 1,000 Feyenoord supporters. Following clashes between the supporters in 2015 and 2019, Feyenoord supporters were barred from attending their match against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico earlier this month. Fans of the Rotterdam based club have been seen in Naples in photographs shared on social media.

Mats Wieffer scored in a second half to give hosts Feyenoord a 1-0 home victory over Roma in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday, after giving up a first half penalty. In the 53rd minute for the game's only goal and a slim advantage for the Dutch league leaders in the return leg in the Italian capital next week, Wieffer launched a bouncing half volley from outside the box. For the first time by the Netherlands, the 23-year-old turned the night into a triumph, after tugging on Roma striker Tammy Abraham until halftime.
