Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser al-Khelaifi has revealed that the French champions plan to name a stand after departing striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic, 34, announced last Friday that he would be quitting the French capital this summer, although PSG said he had agreed to return in a management role once he has retired. On Saturday, the Sweden captain scored twice in his final home game for PSG in their 4-0 win over Nantes. In doing so, he surpassed Carlos Bianchi’s club record of 37 Ligue 1 goals in a single season, meaning he has now netted 154 times in all competitions since moving to Paris from AC Milan in 2012. Speaking on Saturday, Al-Khelaifi said that PSG would be “proud” to honour their all-time leading goal scorer when he leaves. “We tried to do everything for him because he deserves everything,” Al-Khelaifi told Swedish TV station SVT after the club and PSG supporters paid tribute to Ibrahimovic at the Parc des Princes. “Honestly one thing I forgot in my speech is that we’re going to call one of the tribunes [stands] under his name…I hope that we did enough for him because he deserves always more.”

Arsenal captain Mikel Arteta and fellow midfielder Tomas Rosicky will leave the Premier League club when their contracts expire this summer. Arteta, 34, joined the club in 2011 and made 150 appearances, scoring 17 goals. Rosicky, 35, signed in 2006 and was given an award for 246 appearances and 10 years of service before the Gunners’ final-day win over Aston Villa. Manager Arsene Wenger described the pair as “two exceptional players and influences in the dressing room”.

West Ham have announced the free signing of midfielder Havard Nordtveit from Bundesliga side Borussia Moenchengladbach. The 25-year-old Norway international has signed a five-year deal and returns to London six years after leaving Arsenal to join Bundesliga side Borussia Moenchengladbach. Nordtveit played 187 games for the German side, scoring 12 goals. “It has always been a dream for me to play in the Premier League and now I have a big opportunity to do that for West Ham, I cannot wait to start,” he said. “This team has something special, a spirit in the team that I can fit into.”

Mauricio Pochettino said he suffered the lowest point of his managerial career as his Tottenham side fell to a 5-1 Premier League defeat at Newcastle. Spurs needed a point to finish second, and above Arsenal for the first time since 1995 – but failed as their north London rivals beat Aston Villa 4-0. Pochettino said: “I think today we showed that this wasn’t a team that had played well through the whole season. “I think this was my worst day as a manager in England or Spain.”

Arsenal Ladies have won the Women’s FA Cup after beating Chelsea Ladies 1-0 at Wembley Stadium on Saturday. They won the trophy for the 14th time in front of a record crowd of 32,912 people. Danielle Carter’s goal in the 18th minute secured the win for Arsenal. Club captain Kelly Smith said: “The team were outstanding today, from the first minute to the last minute we really turned up. “We wanted the cup back and we’re really pleased with how the performance went.” Nigeria’s Asisat Oshoala played shone brilliantly for Arsenal Ladies in the final and was unfortunate not to have scored in the 43rd and 61st minutes before she was replaced in the 88th minute.. The pace of Carter and Oshoala, complemented by the central figurehead of 37-year-old Kelly Smith as part of a three-pronged attack, ensured Arsenal had all the best chances and Chelsea’s defence struggled in the first half, with their experienced centre-half Niamh Fahey not fit enough to be more than a substitute.

Senegal’s Fatma Samba Diouf Samoura has been appointed as FIFA’s first female secretary general. She succeeds former secretary general Jerome Valcke, who was banned from football-related activity for 12 years. Samoura, 54, spent 21 years working for the United Nations and will start at football’s governing body in June. “It is essential FIFA incorporates fresh perspectives as we continue to restore and rebuild our organisation,” said FIFA president Gianni Infantino. “She has a proven ability to build and lead teams, and improve the way organisations perform. Importantly for FIFA, she also understands that transparency and accountability are at the heart of any well-run and responsible organisation.” Samoura’s appointment, announced at FIFA’s congress in Mexico City, completes a new-look to an organisation which has been dogged by corruption allegations under Valcke and previous president Sepp Blatter. Blatter, who had led FIFA since 1998, stood down last year and was later suspended from football for six years for breaching ethics guidelines. On his appointment in February, Infantino said he would “work tirelessly to bring football back to FIFA and FIFA back to football”. Samoura, who will undergo an eligibility check before her role is ratified, currently works for the UN in Nigeria, and speaks four languages.
