Olivier Giroud Signs New Contract At Chelsea

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud has signed a new contract with the club.

The 32-year-old Frenchman’s new deal extends his stay at Stamford Bridge until the end of the 2019-20 season.

“I am very happy to sign a new contract. I really wanted to stay at least one more year,” he said.

“I have felt a part of the team, the family, since the beginning and hopefully there will be more trophies to come.”

Giroud had been out of contract this summer, which meant he could have joined another club on a free.

The experienced forward joined Chelsea from London rivals Arsenal in January 2018 and has since scored 17 goals in 62 appearances across all competitions.

He has been a key figure in the Blues’ run to the Europa League final, scoring 10 times in 13 outings, as well as providing three further assists.

Giroud also helped the west London club win the FA Cup last season.

Brooks Koepka retains US PGA Championship

Brooks Koepka held off world number one Dustin Johnson to retain his US PGA Championship title and win a fourth major on a dramatic day at Bethpage. The 2017 and 2018 US Open champion, who had a seven-shot lead at the start of the final round, saw that cut to one after four bogeys from the 11th. But Johnson dropped shots on the 16th and 17th as Koepka, who carded a four-over 74, won by two on eight under. England’s Matt Wallace tied for third, earning his best finish at a major.

Rafael Nadal Beats Novak Djokovic To Claim Ninth Italian Open Title

Rafael Nadal claimed his first title of the year by defeating world number one Novak Djokovic 6-0 4-6 6-1 in the Italian Open final in Rome. The Spaniard raced through the opener in 39 minutes, the first 6-0 between the great rivals in 141 previous sets. Djokovic battled back, but in the Rome sunshine Nadal sealed his ninth Italian Open title in two hours, 25 minutes. It was his 81st tournament win and it takes him 34-33 ahead of Djokovic in Masters 1,000 Series titles. Victory is a boost before the French Open for Nadal, who was beaten by Djokovic in the Australian Open final in January, and had lost at the semi-final stage in his past four tournaments. Since 2005, Nadal has won at least one of the nine Masters 1,000 events in a season every year except 2015.

Virgil Van Dijk And Raheem Sterling Win PFA Awards

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has been crowned PFA Player of the Year for 2018-19, with Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling winning the Young Player of the Year award. The 27-year-old defender has played in all of Liverpool’s 36 league games this season, helping the Reds to a league-best 20 clean sheets. The Dutchman signed for Liverpool from Southampton in January 2018 for £75m, a transfer fee his performances have vindicated, with Liverpool losing just one Premier League game so far this season, against Manchester City in January. Liverpool and City players dominated the shortlist for the award, with Van Dijk’s team-mate Sadio Mane, City trio Sterling, Sergio Aguero and Bernardo Silva, and Chelsea’s Eden Hazard all in contention. Sterling was considered Van Dijk’s main competition for the prize, with the England forward scoring 17 goals and making 10 assists in his 32 league appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side. The 24-year-old was up for the same award last season, but pipped to it by team-mate Leroy Sane
