Chelsea midfielder Willian has signed a new four-year contract with the club. The Brazil international, who had two years remaining on his current deal, scored 13 goals in 59 games for the Blues last season. Willian, 27, joined from Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala for a reported £30m in 2013. “It’s a dream to continue with this club and over the next four years I will try to help the team win more trophies,” he said. Willian, who has scored 19 goals in 140 matches for Chelsea, was named player of the year last season as the club finished 10th in the Premier League. He has won 30 caps for Brazil since making his debut in 2011, scoring six goals.

Thierry Henry has left Arsenal after manager Arsene Wenger said he could not combine his job as a television pundit with his role coaching the under-18s. Henry, 38, who worked with Arsenal’s youth players as part of his Uefa A Licence course, was not prepared to give up his media work. Ex-Gunners captain Tony Adams will take over as under-18s coach, with Freddie Ljungberg working with the under-16s. Henry must now find a team to coach in order to complete his Pro Licence. The former France forward is employed as a television pundit by Sky Sports and worked for BBC Sport during Euro 2016.

Ex-England footballer Adam Johnson has been refused permission to appeal against his conviction for sex acts with a girl aged 15. Johnson, 28, was jailed for six years after being found guilty of sexual touching, but not guilty on a charge relating to another sexual act. The former Sunderland player had previously admitted grooming the girl and one charge of sexual activity. His sister posted on Twitter that she was devastated. Johnson’s trial at Bradford Crown Court in March heard that he had kissed and sexually touched the schoolgirl in his Range Rover, in a secluded spot in County Durham. A statement from his solicitor said: “We have received notification that Adam Johnson’s applications for leave to appeal against his conviction and sentence have been refused by the Single Judge. “He is obviously disappointed – having carefully considered all of the information, we will be lodging renewed applications on conviction and sentence in the coming days.”

League One side Bradford have signed Blackpool goalkeeper Colin Doyle for a fee of just £1 after meeting a release clause in his contract. Doyle made 35 appearances for Blackpool last season but could not help them avoid relegation to League Two. The 31-year-old, who has signed a two-year deal, joined Blackpool in June 2015 after 12 seasons at Birmingham.

Ryan Bertrand has committed his future to Southampton, signing a new five-year contract. Bertrand, 26, has been a regular at Southampton since making the switch from Chelsea in 2014, initially on loan, before the move was made permanent in February 2015 for a reported £10m. The left-back, who was part of the England squad at Euro 2016 and played against Slovakia, said he was “very pleased” with the new five-year deal. “I look forward to many more successful years and really pushing forward as a whole,” Bertrand told the Southampton website.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino will meet senior football association leaders from across Africa on a two-day working visit to Nigeria in July. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) said on Monday Infantino will arrive in Abjua on 24 July and will meet “a legion of African FA presidents”. Infantino, elected in February this year, will be accompanied by new FIFA secretary-general Fatma Samoura. NFF president Amaju Pinnick met Infantino for talks in Paris on Sunday. “The FIFA president and secretary-general will arrive in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, on Sunday 24th July on a two-day working visit to Nigeria,” Pinnick said on the NFF website. The statement said the FIFA officials will meet Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari and hold a meeting “with a legion of African FA presidents, who are expected in Nigeria” at the same time. Nigeria is seen as one of the giants of African football even though the Super Eagles failed to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations finals for the second time in succession. The NFF has been dogged by factional disputes over its leadership and FIFA has threatened Nigeria with suspension from international competition because of irregularities in the leadership voting process.

UEFA EURO 2016 Player of the Tournament: Antoine Griezmann (France)

Southampton have signed Denmark midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from German champions Bayern Munich for a reported fee of £12.8m. Hojbjerg, 20, was on loan at Schalke last season but his first-team chances at Bayern were reduced by the signing of Portugal’s Renato Sanches. Hojbjerg is the Premier League club’s second signing of the summer after winger Nathan Redmond from Norwich. “They have put trust in me. I want to show them they are not wrong,” he said. After signing a five-year deal at St Mary’s, he added: “When I heard Southampton came in for me I said to my people that this is what I want to do. “I can see myself at Southampton as it’s the way I like to think, the way I like to play and it fits me really well.”

Graziano Pelle has left Southampton to join Shandong Luneng, the Chinese Super League side, for an undisclosed fee. The Italy international, who is believed to have been valued at £13million, made 81 appearances for the south coast club, scoring 30 goals. Pelle, who was also linked with a move to Chelsea, arrived at St Mary’s in the summer of 2014 for £8million. The 30-year-old becomes the latest high-profile player to swap a major European league for China’s top flight, following the transfers of Jackson Martinez, Ramires and Ezequiel Lavezzi.

Portugal overcame the early loss of captain Cristiano Ronaldo to beat hosts France in the Euro 2016 final and win their first major tournament thanks to substitute Eder’s superb extra-time strike. Real Madrid forward Ronaldo was carried off in tears in the 25th minute at Paris’ Stade de France, eighteen minutes after injuring his knee in a clash with France’s Dimitri Payet. France, the firm favourites, were unable to capitalise on Ronaldo’s absence, although they almost won it at the end of normal time when substitute Andre-Pierre Gignac turned and hit the inside of the post. Raphael Guerreiro hit the bar with a free-kick for Portugal after 108 minutes, but seconds later they were ahead when Eder fired a low, 25-yard drive past keeper Hugo Lloris. Ronaldo, who had given his Portugal team-mates animated encouragement in the break before extra time, was offering as much tactical advice as coach Fernando Santos in chaotic closing moments – and he was reduced to tears once more at the final whistle before lifting the trophy that has eluded his country for so long.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has imposed a two-year doping ban on the Democratic Republic of Congo midfielder, Christian Ngudikama, after the AS Vita Club player produced a positive test during the 2016 African Nations Championship (CHAN) in Rwanda.

DR Congo went on to win the 2016 CHAN.

Andy Murray became Wimbledon champion for the second time with a superb performance against Canadian sixth seed Milos Raonic in the final. The Scot, 29, dismantled the Raonic serve in a 6-4 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-2) victory to repeat his triumph of 2013 and claim a third Grand Slam title. “I’m proud to have my hands on the trophy again,” said Murray. “This is the most important tournament for me every year,” added an emotional Murray. “I’ve had some great moments here, but also some tough losses. The win feels extra special because of the tough losses.” Murray was playing his 11th Grand Slam final and for the first time he was the favourite, having faced either Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer in the previous 10 finals. He appeared to relish the role, ignoring the magnitude of the occasion to claim a sixth successive win over Raonic. The 25-year-old Canadian was making his Grand Slam final debut.

The captain of Spanish third division club Linares Deportivo has died after an accident in a hotel gym. Fran Carles, 26, full name Francisco Javier Pardo Garrido, sustained a thigh injury causing a haemorrhage that spread to his kidneys and other organs. His coffin was carried around the club’s ground on Saturday where over 4,000 fans had gathered to pay their respects before his funeral. “There are no words to express the deep sorrow we feel,” said a club statement.

Boreham Wood manager Luke Garrard has played down the possibility of former Everton and Portsmouth striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni joining the club after he played in today’s 5-0 friendly loss to Reading. The 33-year-old striker is a free agent after leaving Turkish Super Lig club Kayserispor and played an hour for Wood as they were comfortably beaten by the Royals. “Realistically I think he has offers and ambitions to play at the highest level available,” said Garrard. “I’ll never say never.” The Nigerian international is the second-highest scoring African in Premier League history and has 96 goals to his name for Portsmouth, Everton, Middlesbrough and Blackburn Rovers. Asked how the powerful forward came to link up with the Meadow Park club, Garrard said: “I spoke to a friend of mine who is friends with Yak and he said where he was at.

Ghana international Mubarak Wakaso has joined Greek side Panathinaikos from Russian club Rubin Kazan on a three year deal. The 25 year old winger completed his move following a medical with the Athens based club. Panathinaikos confirmed that Wakaso would be at the club until the “summer of 2019.” Wakaso had been with Rubin Kazan since 2013, but spent periods on loan at both Celtic and Las Palmas during that time. He played a key role in helping Ghana reach the both the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Gabon next year, as well as the group phase of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
