In recent football news, there's been a lot of action on and off the field. Starting with the transfer market, Arsenal and Chelsea are both interested in Swedish striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. However, they find the £115 million asking price too high and are considering a more achievable £80 million deal.

On the Champions League front, several teams have been making headlines. Arsenal celebrated an exceptional win, trouncing Sporting with a score of 5-1, showcasing the team's formidable form and depth as they advance in the competition. In a twist of events, Manchester City experienced a shocking draw against Feyenoord, surrendering a three-goal lead in the final minutes, which has raised questions about the team's current form and resilience under Pep Guardiola. This draw has extended City's winless streak to six games, putting added pressure on the team and management.

Meanwhile, Polish striker Robert Lewandowski has joined the elite ranks alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi by scoring his 100th goal in the Champions League, demonstrating his continued prowess and consistency at the highest levels of European football.

In other news, England's national team has introduced newcomers Ruby Mace and Laura Blindkilde Brown, signaling a refreshing change and investment in new talent for the upcoming matches against the USA and Switzerland.

Amidst all the excitement, one concerning story has emerged involving referee David Coote, who is under investigation by the FA for allegedly discussing a booking prior to a match, bringing integrity into question within the sport's officiating circles.
