Today’s Rumour Mill allows us a segue involving Brighton. Read today’s whispers here…
Brighton were the other winners last night as they ended an eight-game streak without a Premier League victory (eight of those were draws, mind) with a 2-0 success at Ipswich to take them up to ninth. Nick Ames was at Portman Road.
Haaland has 11 Man City hat-tricks to his name so far but none yet in 2025. One man who has is Amad Diallo, who rescued Manchester United with a late, late treble to haul them back from an embarrassment against bottom club Southampton and secure a 3-1 win last night.

That’s quite a start to the morning blog, isn’t it. I know it’s not the main focus but that Man City shirt font remains troublesome.
Preamble
Good morning. Let’s start at Manchester City, where Erling Haaland has put pen to paper on a new contract that ties him to the club until … 2034. Yes. Here’s are the details from Jamie Jackson.
Erling Haaland has signed a record new nine-and-a-half-year deal with Manchester City that ties him to the champions until 2034, with the centre-forward stating he is “super-happy and proud”.
The Norwegian, who was previously contracted until 2027, has proved a phenomenon at City, scoring 111 goals in only 125 games since signing from Borussia Dortmund in summer 2022. He got 52 goals in his first season, as City claimed the treble in 2022-23.
The length of contract is a record for a player in domestic competition and his salary is thought to be a basic of about £500,000 a week.
The morning’s other big news is the appointment of 35-year-old Renee Slegers as Arsenal’s new permanent head coach. Here’s Suzanne Wrack with the report on that before WSL gets back underway after a winter break.
Arsenal have named the interim head coach Renée Slegers as the permanent successor to Jonas Eidevall after an impressive temporary spell in charge.
The 35-year-old has signed a contract to the end of the 2025-26 season after three months as interim.
“Renée was the standout candidate of a thorough recruitment process,” said Arsenal’s director of women’s football, Clare Wheatley.
