Kante close to Fenerbahce move
Former Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante has left Al-Ittihad ahead of a likely move to Turkish side Fenerbahce.
The Turkish side are yet to confirm the move - but have teased it on their social media accounts, a day after it looked like his transfer had fallen through owing to what Fenerbahce claimed were administrative errors from Al-Ittihad.
In a 24-hour turnaround, Al-Itthad said in a statement: "Al-Ittihad Club has agreed to sell the remaining period of the contract of first-team player N'Golo Kante, appreciating his time with the team and his contribution to winning the Saudi Professional League title and the King's Cup, and wishing him success in his future professional career."
Late on Tuesday night, Fenerbahce wrote on X: "As can be understood from our statement, there is blood, sweat, and tears in Kante, but giving up is not in our dictionary..."
Deal done!
What did we tell you... Everton have completed the late signing of Slovenia and AS Roma midfielder Zara Kramzar on an initial loan.

I cant wait. I am really looking forward to playing at Goodison Park and seeing the fans. I am excited to learn a lot about Everton.
I like to play in big stadiums. I am looking forward to it and to score goals in front of the fans and to leave everything on the pitch for them and for the club."

Coleman on shortlist for Blackburn job
Latest from Your Site News' Alan Myers, Adrian Kajumba and Amar Mehta:
Former Wales manager Chris Coleman is one of the candidates being considered for the vacant Blackburn head coach job, Your Site News understands.
The club sacked Valerian Ismael on February 2, after almost a year in charge, with the club languishing in the relegation zone and three points away from safety.
Coleman, 55, has had managerial stints at Fulham, Coventry and Sunderland. He also managed Wales between 2012 and 2017, where he led them to qualification for Euro 2016, their first tournament since 1958.
Wales reached the semi-finals during that tournament but resigned in November 2017 after they failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
Most recently, Coleman managed Greek side Asteras Tripolis and left after a year in charge. Coleman spent two years between 1995 and 1997 at Blackburn toward the end of his playing career, featuring 32 times.

He has represented England at U17, U18 and U19 level and previously played in Tottenham's academy.
