LONDON (AP) — West Ham announced the departure of Declan Rice on Saturday for what the club said would be a British-record transfer fee. Arsenal was the England midfielder’s likely destination.West Ham didn’t reveal the team Rice would be joining or the fee in a statement that was accompanied by a message from the player to West Ham’s fans, saying it was a “tough” decision driven by his “ambition to play at the very highest level of the game.”“Playing on the opposite team to West Ham for the first time will be an unusual experience,” the 24-year-old Rice said. “I’m not sure yet exactly how I will feel, but I also know you will all understand and respect that my professional loyalties have to now lie with my new club.”Arsenal is reportedly paying an initial fee of 100 million pounds ($131 million) for Rice, who spent nine years with West Ham. There are also likely to be add-ons to the fee.The reported initial fee is the same as the British-record sum that Manchester...DC-area storm damage stopped trains for hours, knocked off power for thousands

A Chinese top diplomat has told the EU’s foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell that the EU should “clarify” its vision of relations between the two sides. Wang Yi, director of China’s Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, met Borrell on the sidelines of a meeting of Southeast Asian nations in Jakarta on Friday — a couple of weeks after EU leaders agreed to reduce and “de-risk” their dependency on China. “The EU side should … clarify the positioning of the strategic partnership between the two sides, and promote China-EU relations to move forward,” Wang was quoted by China’s Foreign Ministry as telling Borrell, Reuters reported on Saturday. “It should not vacillate, let alone encourage words and deeds that turn the clock back,” Wang said.The EU and China are embroiled in a tit-for-tat trade war, with both sides targeting parts of the semiconductor supply chain.

Baseball fans weren’t the only ones in awe watching Adley Rutschman’s switch-hitting spectacle at the Home Run Derby. His teammates were, too.“That was electric,” first baseman Ryan O’Hearn said.Rutschman lost in the first round to Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox, but his 27-homer performance was the latest star-worthy moment in the still-nascent career of Baltimore’s All-Star catcher. While Rutschman’s teammates weren’t surprised by his success, his profile isn’t that of a typical Home Run Derby candidate. Rutschman’s plate discipline and contact ability are better traits than his power, as he’s hit just 25 long balls in 200 career games.That doesn’t mean anything to O’Hearn, though. If the Orioles had their own home run contest, O’Hearn would put his money on Rutschman — especially after seeing his success on the big stage Monday.“Probably Adley,” O’Hearn said when ...Latest news
