Goalkeeper back training after cancer – FCNaija

Birmingham City Ladies goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger is back in full training with the club after having an operation to treat thyroid cancer.

The 27-year-old former Paris Saint-Germain player, who joined Birmingham in 2016, was diagnosed in November.

In a statement on social media, the German said: “The operation went really well and I’m on the road to recovery.

“I’m really happy to be back in between the sticks. Of course, it will still take some time until I can play again.”

Berger has played in two major finals for Birmingham City, the 2016 Continental Cup and the 2017 FA Cup, both of which they lost to Manchester City.

Speaking in November, manager Marc Skinner said: “I have total belief that Ann will beat this illness and strive to be back playing again in the future.”

GONER? Walcott set for Everton switch – FCNaija

Everton have joined the queue for the services of Arsenal winger Theo Walcott, with the England international looking set to leave the Emirates Stadium in this transfer window.

Walcott’s former club, Southampton, had been leading the race to land the 27-year old, but Everton have now joined in the race to land the player valued at £20million.

Arsenal may consider letting the England forward leave this month, with Walcott on the periphery of Arsene Wenger’s first-team plans and Everton are confident that they can beat the Saints to Walcott’s signature this month.

Everton would be able to get close to Walcott’s current deal, worth £110,000 per week; while Southampton’s financial limits would mean the 28-year-old would need to take pay cut to rejoin the club where he started his career.

However, much could depend on whether Alexis Sanchez moves on this month, with Wenger unlikely to sanction exits for both Walcott and the Chilean without having replacements lined up.
