Brazilian international midfielder Oscar, who played for Chelsea, is returning to Sao Paulo, where he started his career, the club announced on Tuesday. “Welcome, Oscar, what a great addition,” read text at the end of a video posted on the club’s social media accounts. Oscar — whose full name is Oscar dos Santos Emboaba Junior, and who is aged 33 — became a free agent after spending eight seasons in China with Shanghai Port, where he arrived in 2017 after leaving Chelsea. The attacking midfielder started his career at Sao Paulo and made his first-team debut in 2008. Two years later, he transferred to another Brazilian club, Internacional de Porto Alegre, in a controversial move that sparked a long legal dispute.

Luke Littler has had a stellar year after reaching the final of the World Darts Championship 2024 plus being awarded the BBC's Youngs Sports Personality of the Year . So it's quite right that the 17-year-old is revelling in his success. Luke has reportedly splashed out on a £6,000 per month to rent a mansion in Cheshire. According to The Mirror, Luke is now living in the fancy property located on what is known locally as 'Millionaire's Road'. This year, the sportsman is said to have made almost £600,000 so far from his darts career. Luke bagged a £200,000 prize for reaching the final of the World Darts Championship and a further £275,000 for winning his first Premier League title. Luke and his family have left their humble two-bedroom semi-detached house behind in favour of a sprawling home that features swanky interiors, an indoor pool and a cinema room. Let's take a look... Christmas celebrity door displays that will blow your mind David Beckham has fans swooning in cheeky 'home' video - but all is not as it seems Jamie Oliver's three wildly different Christmas trees at £6m mansion 1 / 4 The listing on Rightmove states that the home comes with pool and garden maintenance including the flat rent. It also says that the five-bedroom house is "finished to an uncompromising standard, with intelligent design, impressive technology, top of the range fixtures and fittings and superb leisure facilities"." It's been "carefully and cleverly redesigned to optimise and enhance space, creating a perfect balance of luxury finish and ease of living". This photo shows how stunning the kitchen is. The fully fitted, state of the art cooking area comes with a dark, modern interior with a light oak parquet flooring. There are multiple ovens, a huge American-style fridge and a breakfast bar topped with monochrome quartz marble. There are also four chairs resting underneath the breakfast bar in a gorgeous teal and gold design. To the right of one stool, we can also spot a wine fridge. 2 / 4 The living room is also impressive in size. While it's not known if the property came furnished or whether the family has decided to place their own furniture inside to make it their own – the photo offers an idea of how the room can be utilised. A large five-person sofa sits in the middle of the room facing the TV which has been placed into the wall. The lounge also has a gorgeous cream carpet and two skylights so plenty of daylight can flood the room. 3 / 4 Perhaps the biggest draw of the home, however, is the wow-worthy indoor pool. The full-size swimming pool is nestled in a large room facing out into the huge garden. The room also has plenty of seating and loungers around the pool plus a workout area just off to the side, making the entire pool house resemble a luxury gym. 4 / 4 Meanwhile, Luke recently celebrated when his wish was granted by former Manchester United player David Beckham. Man-U mad Luke was chuffed when Becks "texted him" to say good luck ahead of the SPOTY ceremony which took place this week. Luke then made a cheeky comment that David hadn't yet followed him on Instagram, but then shared a screenshot of David after he followed the darts pro alongside a love-heart emoji. Of his Young SPOTY award, Luke said: "It just goes to show how well I've done this year. "But not only for myself changed the sport of darts [with] all the other professionals. But I have played a big part in it."

Structure amid the wilderness: The broadsheet’s place todayHaiti gangs fire on journalists covering a planned hospital reopening, leaving casualtiesThis isn’t word for word, but the preseason prediction for the 2024 Vikings from this corner of the football world went something like this: No Way In God’s Green Earth Sam Darnold Leads The Vikings To The Playoffs! Result: Wide wrong. Care to go double or nothing on this 2025 prediction? No Way In God’s Purple Earth Sam Darnold Doesn’t Get Franchise Tagged For An Estimated $39,637,000 ! Thoughts? “That’s above my pay grade,” former Vikings quarterback and 2002 NFL MVP Rich Gannon said a few weeks ago when our discussion about Darnold’s MVP chances turned to thoughts of where Darnold’s feet might land and for how much in 2025. Gannon, however, did offer some advice as a guy who, like Darnold, spent his first six seasons in a dysfunctional situation — with the Vikings, ironically — before eventually gaining his career foothold en route to winning MVP at 37 — 10 years older than Darnold is now. “Let’s throw out some arbitrary numbers,” Gannon said. “Let’s say he can re-sign for $40 million a year and stay with the Vikings, a place you like, a good organization, a head coach [Kevin O’Connell] you believe in, good play-caller who believes in you, you thrive in his system, you got those weapons, Justin Jefferson ... “Or you can get $50 million and go somewhere else. Do the latter and I think he’s making a huge mistake. What difference does it make if you take $50 million and you’re out on the street again in a year and a half because it’s not the right situation again?” Souhan: Time for the Vikings to lock up their future Darnold was considered pricey last spring when he got $10 million to A) serve as the Vikings’ short-term bridge to rookie J.J. McCarthy and, B) prove to everyone else he’s either starting-caliber or, at worst, the next Andy Dalton. The market has changed considerably since McCarthy’s season-ending knee injury in August and Darnold’s ensuing MVP-caliber play for a team that’s 13-2 and needs no outside help to win the NFC’s No. 1 seed . So those who suggested four months ago that Darnold might be lucky to get a Baker Mayfield-type deal ($33.3 million a year) probably aimed a little low. “If Sam can just keep the car on the road, he’s going to make a boatload of money,” Gannon said. “There’s been 30 coaches fired in the last four years. And 29 of them were fired because they couldn’t get the quarterback right, including Bill Belichick. Brandon Staley got fired for other reasons, because he had Justin Herbert. And there will be six or seven more this year, too.” O’Connell has said there will be a time and place for Darnold and the team to discuss 2025. That time and place isn’t heading into back-to-back games against Green Bay and Detroit. The Vikings have a problem to solve, but it’s the best problem to have. It’s also a problem that seems tailor-made for the one-year franchise tag. The team still has lofty dreams for McCarthy. It also has several other roster spots to address primarily in free agency since there’s limited draft capital. What the franchise tag does is buy the Vikings up to a year to figure things out. They can work slowly with McCarthy. They can build the roster without tying future cap space to Darnold. They can trade him like the Patriots did in 2009 when they franchised Matt Cassel and then traded him along with Mike Vrabel for the 34th overall pick. And if the Vikings don’t tag and trade, they get to keep a strong-armed 27-year-old who’s been mentally-reprogrammed by K.O. the QB Whisperer himself. Here’s a taste of what the two of them have done so far in Year 1 together: Rank fourth in passer rating (105.4), fourth in yards per attempt (8.2), fifth in touchdown passes (32) and sixth in yards passing (3,776). Rank second in game-winning drives (5). Only a guy named Patrick Mahomes (7) has more. Rank tied for first with Lamar Jackson in games with a 100-plus passer rating (12). Only two players in NFL history have had seasons with more than 12: Aaron Rodgers had 13 in 2011 and 14 in 2020. Mahomes had 13 in 2018. Vote for your most underrated Vikings Rodgers and Mahomes won league MVP each of those years. Darnold is an MVP dark horse, but the race isn’t over. Sure, Darnold probably won’t like being tagged. But, hey, he’s still young and he’d be getting roughly $40 million to soothe the pain for another year. And staying where his career went from flop to franchise tag wouldn’t be such a bad thing either. “Just running for the best financial situation at the quarterback position is not always the best thing,” Gannon said. “Being with the right person, the right people, the right coaches, is the way to go.” To get exclusive analysis on the Vikings in your inbox every Friday, sign up for the free Access Vikings newsletter .

Analysis: Franchise tag for Sam Darnold would add another layer to this unpredictable Vikings seasonNoneNetflix continues to express confidence that its streaming platform is prepared to handle the massive audiences expected for a pair of Christmas Day NFL games along with the start of its live coverage of the World Wrestling Entertainment's "Raw" next month. Concerns were raised after users experienced issues with buffering and low quality feeds during the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson boxing match last month. Netflix has exclusive rights to stream NFL games on Christmas Day between the Kansas City Chiefs at the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens at the Houston Texans. Beyonce is scheduled to perform during halftime of the Ravens-Texans game, which could create more server traffic Netflix must take into account. It's a major test after the company reported an average global live audience of 108 million viewers for Paul's victory over Tyson in Arlington, Texas. Downdetector.com , which tracks service outages, announced that there were 90,000 issues reported at one point. "It was a big number, but you don't know, and you can't learn these things until you do them, so you take a big swing," Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria told Front Office Sports. "Our teams and our engineers are amazing, moved super quickly, and stabilized it, and many of the members had it back up and running pretty quickly. But we learn from these things. "We've all obviously done a lot of stuff to learn and get ready for the NFL and Beyonce, and so we're totally ready and excited for WWE." WWE president Nick Khan told FOS that Raw's tone and content will not change as it moves to the streaming service, with its first event of 2025 scheduled for Jan. 6. "There's some online chatter about, ‘oh, it's going to be R-rated, or for us old folks, X-rated.' That's definitely not happening," Khan said. "It's family-friendly, multi-generational, advertiser-friendly programming. It's going to stay that way. I would look for more global flair, especially as the relationship continues to develop." --Field Level Media
