Sports Highlights
First up, Sri Lanka gave fans a reason to cheer when Wanindu Hasaranga was cleared to play in the Asia Cup 2025. The fast‑bowling all‑rounder missed action after a hamstring issue in July, but doctors gave him the green light just in time for the group stage opener against Bangladesh in Abu Dhabi.
In club football, Palmeiras made a splash by signing Brazilian right‑back Khellven from CSKA Moscow. The 24‑year‑old arrives for a €5 million fee that could rise to €6.5 million, and he’s set to wear the No. 12 shirt. The move forces rivals like Universitario to rethink their defensive plans, especially against his pace and crossing ability.
Across the English Premier League, Arsenal’s pre‑season tour ended on a sour note when Tottenham edged them 1‑0 in Singapore. A defensive slip let Pape Sarr score the winner, while Viktor Gyokeres’ debut showed promise. Young talent Max Dowman impressed, but the loss raised questions about Arsenal’s back line before the new season kicks off.

Meanwhile, China’s military expansion grabbed headlines worldwide. Beijing’s defense budget continues to climb, fueling a rapid build‑up of its navy and new tech projects.
