Champions on the Continent – CHAN 2024 Highlights
The 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) kicked off with a bang. Algeria showed why they’re still a force, smashing Uganda 3‑0 in the group opener. Goals from Ayoub Ghezala, Abderrahmane Meziane and Sofiane Bayazid put the Algerian side on fire, while Uganda now scrambles to tighten its defense.
South African clubs aren’t far behind either. Kaizer Chiefs’ head coach Nasreddine Nabi missed the season opener after his wife was seriously injured in Tunisia. Assistant coaches stepped up for the Betway Premiership clash with Stellenbosch FC, sparking speculation about off‑field tension at the club.
Premier League Pulse and Transfer Rumors
Across the continent, Premier League drama never stops. Aston Villa pulled off a 2‑1 win over Chelsea, thanks to Marco Asensio’s double and a smart assist from Marcus Rashford. The victory nudged Villa into the top seven, reviving their chase for European spots.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are circling Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra. Despite a €100 million release clause, the Spanish club might let him go for under €30 million – a bargain if Arsenal can swing it before the summer window closes.
Real Madrid’s transfer room is buzzing too. Four clubs have put forward offers for a controversial squad member, hinting at a possible reshuffle as Florentino Pérez eyes a leaner lineup for the next season.
Back in Africa, Liverpool kept their Champions League momentum alive with a 1‑0 win over Girona, thanks to Mohamed Salah’s penalty and Alisson Becker’s clean sheet. The Reds sit comfortably atop Group E while Girona fights to stay afloat.
