New suitor emerges in the race for Kane; PL star takes drastic steps for Saudi switch: rumor

A new suitor has emerged in the race for Harry Kane as the Tottenham star could now be at the center of a bidding war. Elsewhere, a Premier League star is desperate to savor the riches on offer in Saudi Arabia, but his club are playing hard to get as Chelsea’s nightmare of a failure may finally end. Catch up on the biggest transfer rumors floating around in the latest edition of Rumor Mill! NEW CUSTOMER APPEARS ON THE RUN FOR KANE While Bayern Munich appear to be favorites in the race for Harry Kane, they may now have some heavyweight competition. According to The Independent, Paris Saint-Germain are ready to jump into the fray and hijack Bayern’s transfer to Kane. The French club have reportedly been emboldened by Kane’s willingness to move abroad to further his career, although the Tottenham star’s preference remains a move to Manchester United. PSG have already been tipped for a number of transfers for younger strikers such as Victor Osimhen and Randal Kolo Muani, and with Bayern already making two offers for Kane, they have been forced to act quickly on a push for the England international. Kane is out of contract next summer, meaning he can ride for free, leaving Spurs chairman Daniel Levy with a crucial decision between cashing in on the prized asset now or risking losing him for nothing at the end of next season. . DESPERATION PL STAR CONTACTS CLUB OWNER TO FORCE SAUDI CHANGE Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic insists he wants a move to Saudi Arabia but the Premier League club are reluctant to let him go. Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal are heavily interested in the Serbian shooter and have made a second offer of around £30 million ($AUD57 million). Mitrovic is so desperate to make the move that Sky Sports reports he has contacted Fulham owner Tony Khan to take Al-Hilal up on his offer and let him collect a life-changing payday in Saudi Arabia. But considering Mitrovic’s 14 Premier League goals helped Fulham to an impressive finish in the first half of last season, Khan will want the best for the striker. If he gets his wish, Fulham manager Marco Silva will need to move quickly in the transfer market to find a replacement. CHELSEA FLOP PROVIDED EXIT ROUTE WHILE MASS CLEANING CONTINUES Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s torrid time at Chelsea may be about to end. The Gabonese international moved to Stamford Bridge last summer to be reunited with Thomas Tuchel, who coached the striker during their time together at Borussia Dortmund. However, Tuchel was sacked early in the season and Aubameyang struggled to find a foothold at Chelsea. But his football career could resume soon. Sky Sports reports that French side Marseille are interested in signing Aubameyang, who has one more year left on his Chelsea contract. New Marseille boss Marcelino is reportedly a longtime admirer of Aubameyang, with a formal approach to the 34-year-old expected soon.

House panel to consider GOP bill banning transgender women, girls from team sports

Greg Nash Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) arrives for a closed-door House Republican conference meeting on Tuesday, January 10, 2023. Federal legislation to ban transgender women and girls from competing on sports teams for women and girls will be heard for the first time Wednesday morning, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce announced Monday. The “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act,” introduced in February by Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.), seeks to amend Title IX — the federal civil rights law prohibiting sex-based discrimination — to recognize sex as that which is “based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.” It is the third time Steube has introduced the legislation, which failed to pass during the last two Congresses, when Democrats controlled the House. A discharge petition filed in April by Steube and Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) to bring last year’s bill to the House floor garnered only 187 signatures, falling short of the 218 needed to force a vote. Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has on multiple occasions signaled his support for the legislation, which now stands a better chance of passing in the House’s new Republican majority. House Education and Labor Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) has also voiced support for Steube’s bill. In a statement last month, Steube said transgender female athletes have “no place in women’s sports” and accused Lia Thomas, the former University of Pennsylvania swimmer who last year became the first transgender athlete to win an NCAA Division I championship, of “robbing” second-place finisher Emma Weyant, a cisgender woman, of the title. The question of whether transgender women and girls should be allowed to compete on sports teams for women and girls has invaded meeting rooms across the country over the past year, with professional organizations, local sports associations and even individual school districts adopting policies that restrict the ability of transgender athletes to compete on teams in accordance with their gender identity. Eighteen states since 2020 have enacted laws that bar transgender athletes from competing on school sports teams consistent with their gender identity, though preliminary injunctions are currently blocking the enforcement of bans in Idaho, West Virginia, Indiana and Utah. Legislators in more than a dozen states this year have introduced similar measures. The Wyoming legislature passed a bill last week to prohibit transgender girls from competing on middle school and high school sports teams, sending the measure to Gov. Mark Gordon (R) for final approval. In a statement on Monday, Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.), the chairman of the Congressional Equality Caucus, condemned Steube’s bill and accused Republicans of attempting to “demonize” LGBTQ people. “This is not about girls’ and women’s sports; it’s about attacking trans kids,” Pocan said. NewsNation to launch ‘The Hill’ weekday program Oklahoma state senator on viral chat with Jon Stewart: ‘Not afraid of anyone or anything’ House Bill 734 has been endorsed by several conservative groups, including the Alliance Defending Freedom, the American Principles Project, the Family Policy Alliance and the Ethics and Public Policy Center. The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and its embattled chairman, Matt Schlapp, are also backing Steube’s bill. In February, Schlapp said failing to pass the measure in Congress would send a message to Democrats that “their henchmen can turn the whole country into their woke nightmare.” Schlapp and CPAC last week also threw their support behind Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) “Protect Children’s Innocence Act,” which would make it a felony for doctors to provide gender-affirming health care to transgender minors. Greene is slated to introduce the bill, which she failed to pass during the last Congress, this week.
