It’s not only racism but an absolute lack of humanity.” Images broadcast by Spanish media showed Dutch fans seated on the terrace of a bar in the Plaza Mayor a few hours before Tuesday’s game against Atletico Madrid, throwing coins on the ground to force beggars to collect them. “This behavior is outrageous. We want to clearly dissociate ourselves from the conduct of some fans,” said PSV president Toon Gerbrands. “PSV will take appropriate action, which could include stadium bans or tougher sanctions.” — AFP LEICESTER: Leicester City’s English midfielder Danny Drinkwater (right) in action against Newcastle’s English midfielder Jack Colback during the English Premier League football match between Leicester City and Newcastle at King Power Stadium in Leicester. —AFP Leicester’s Drinkwater gets England’s call-up LONDON: Leicester City midfielder Forster, Liverpool striker Daniel I thought this was a good opportunity Danny Drinkwater was awarded his first Sturridge and Arsenal forward Danny to bring him in and see if he can pro- England call-up yesterday for the forth- Welbeck after injury, but captain Wayne duce that quality of football for coming friendly games against Rooney misses out due to a knee prob- England.” England tackle world cham- Germany and the Netherlands.

  • Top 10 Premier League Transfers for 2016-17
    SPORTS SATURDAY, AUGUST 13, 2016 5 young Premier League talents to watch out for LONDON: AFP Sports picks five young talents that could shine in the English Premier League this season: Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) Everything so far has gone swimmingly well for the 18-year-old, one genuine success Louis van Gaal could point to in terms of bringing him into the side when pretty much all else didn’t go right for the Dutchman. However, now the England forward-who showed more spark and invention in a cameo appearance at the end of the Iceland Euro 2016 debacle than anyone else had done that evening — faces two challenges. One is to maintain his progress, having lost that element of sur- prise, and another is to convince new manager Jose Mourinho that youth, not experience, can be more effective. ‘The Special One’ was at pains at his unveiling press conference to dismiss suggestions he didn’t favor youth. How Rashford fares under him may well reflect the truth of that statement. Ramadan Sobhi (Stoke City) At £5 million (6m euros, $6.5m), Sobhi could prove to be one of the signings of the close season. The 19- year-old winger has been compared to one of Egypt’s greatest players, Mohamed Aboutrika. He already has six full caps to his name and made his league debut for Egyptian giants Al Ahly aged 16. Played a huge role in Al Ahly winning the title last season under former MANCHESTER: This file photo taken on September 15, 2015 shows Juventus’ midfielder from France Paul Pogba cele- Tottenham Hotspur boss Martin Jol.
