West Ham midfielder Edson Alvarez says he 'categorically rejects' allegations linking him to an alleged kidnapping plot. Mexican film-maker Juan Jose Lopez Ordonez had publicly made the allegations earlier this week in an interview with TVNotas. Ordonez claimed he was kidnapped in November 2024, with two people forcing their way into his car before blindfolding him and threatening him with weapons. He stated that his attackers had also inserted a syringe into his neck, with his kidnappers claiming they were acting under orders from Alvarez's then father-in-law Jonathan Toache Bedolla. Ordonez said bystanders had helped him to escape and that he reported the incident to the police. He claimed Alvarez was not directly involved in his kidnapping but was aware of the plot. The filmmaker alleged he is owed 3.5million pesos (£152,000) by Alvarez following working on a documentary about the Mexico captain, which was claimed to have been produced ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Ordonez said he asked for payment in 2024 and alleged he was also involved in a dispute with Alvarez's father-in-law over a property he owned at the time. He claimed Alvarez's then father-in-law paid to have the investigation stopped. Alvarez has posted a lengthy response on social media to deny Ordonez's claims and has vowed to take legal action against the 'false allegations'. #Alvarez #WestHam #WHUFC

Deco has explained why Anthony Gordon was deemed the 'best fit' for Barcelona following his £70million move from Newcastle United this summer💰 Gordon, who arrived joined Barcelona just weeks after representing England at the World Cup, has already made a positive start to life in Spain, chalking up five assists from four LaLiga appearances so far. Barcelona had the option to sign Marcus Rashford for £26m following his loan spell at the Nou Camp last season, but the Catalan giants ultimately opted to sign Gordon instead, forcing the Manchester United star to return to Old Trafford ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. Opening up on Barcelona's transfer strategy during the summer transfer window, sporting director Deco explained how Gordon was signed to bring 'energy' to Hansi Flick's squad after the club noticed a weakness in the side last season. 'One of the things we saw that was difficult last year was the fact that, when we were without Raphinha, the team's energy seemed to drop,' Deco told Marca on Thursday. 'We looked at many wingers, but signing players in the Premier League is almost impossible, you see the figures involved. He was the profile that best fit. The great advantage is that the players are excited to come to our project.'

Kerolin Nicoli didn't expect to roll down the window to explain herself 🚗 The Brazilian forward, signed last week from Manchester City for the women's team of FC Barcelona, came across a group of fans this morning who surrounded her car at the training ground. They were all shouting a single name: Raphinha. They were convinced that the Brazilian star from the first team was refusing to greet the children waiting for him. Faced with their insistence, Kerolin had no choice but to clear up the misunderstanding right there: "I'm not Raphinha, I'm a woman," she told them before leaving the scene 😅 The moment was as awkward as it was funny.

In 1996, 14-year-old Tanya Kach vanished from McKeesport, Pennsylvania, after being groomed by Thomas Hose, a school security guard. Hose hid her in his second-story bedroom for four years where she lived in total isolation, using a bucket as a toilet and enduring severe psychological control. In 2000, he introduced her to his family under a fake identity, yet she remained trapped by fear and strict surveillance until March 2006, when she finally confided in a grocery store owner who helped authorities rescue her. Hose was eventually sentenced to 15 years in prison, while Tanya rebuilt her life as a college graduate, author, and advocate for survivors.
