Real Sociedad agree Kieran Tierney loan deal with Arsenal

Real Sociedad have reached agreement with Arsenal to sign defender Kieran Tierney on loan, 90min understands. The Basque-based club will feature in the Champions League after finishing fourth in La Liga last season - a fantastic reward for the continued progress made under manager Imanol Alguacil. Tierney has found himself on the periphery of Arsenal's side after initially struggling to command a place because of regular injuries, but even when fully fit, the Scotland international played second fiddle to Oleksandr Zinchenko last season.

There's a belief that Ajax will accept the offer, having countered West Ham's last bid with a €50m proposal, with a key factor being the Conference League winners' willingness to adjust the payment terms of the deal. 90min understands that West Ham had initially been offer...

Debt ceiling agreement gets thumbs up from business groups, jeers from some on political right

The reviews are starting to come in as details emerge about the debt ceiling agreement reached by President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy WASHINGTON -- The reviews are starting to come in as details emerge about the debt ceiling agreement reached by President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Already, some lawmakers are criticizing the deal as not doing enough to tackle the nation's debt, while others worry it's too austere and will harm many low-income Americans. The legislation will probably need support from a significant number of lawmakers from both parties to clear the closely divided House and gain the 60 votes necessary to advance in the Senate. Many lawmakers say they are withholding judgment until they see the final details. A look at how the agreement is going over so far: EARLY CONCERNS Some of the earliest objections are coming from the most conservative members of Congress, particularly members of the hardline House Freedom Caucus that of...
