When New York City FC plays its first home game in the MLS next season, it will be at Yankee Stadium. According to the New York Times, sources familiar with the situation say the team will play its first three seasons in the home of the Bronx Bombers. The team, which is owned by the Yankees and English Premier League club Manchester City, is expected to make the announcement next week. Initial plans were for a new stadium to be built in Flushing Meadows - home of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, the current venue for the U.S. Open tennis tournament, as well as Citi Field, home of the New York Mets. However, community opposition eventually crushed the rumoured $300 million stadium. In August of last year, Yankees president Randy Levine spoke of ongoing negotiations for a piece of land that would fit a 25,000-30,000 seat stadium. No progress has been made since. So, the club will settle for Yankee Stadium for the next three years. City and fellow Premier League club Chelsea played an exhibition match at the venue on temporarily installed grass in 2013. The challenge now is to see if the switch between baseball and soccer can be made for NYCFCs entire home schedule, which is 17 of 34 regular season contests. Air Max 1 Sale Ireland .

According to the UK-based Daily Mirror, Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe has agreed to a four-year offer to join Toronto FC. The move - expected to take effect during the January transfer window - is believed to be worth £90,000 per week and is also believed to include a £6 million transfer fee to Tottenham. On Wednesday the MLS club said the report is "inaccurate." Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment CEO Tim Leiweke promised an upgrade to his MLS franchises talent pool in late September, promising: "Im going to be in Europe in the next few weeks to find two world class strikers for that soccer team once and for all - stop the chatter and perform and delivver.dddddddddddd" When asked about the mission and whether he thought a franchise-altering talent like former Los Angeles Galaxy addition David Beckham was to be had, he did not mince words. "Are we going to be able to get a player as good or better than David Beckham? Yes," Leiweke told the press. The 31-year-old Defoe will earn a raise of £28,000 per week over his current salary. Defoe has been held goalless in eight Barclays Premier League appearances with Spurs this season, but has registered two goals in two League Cup games as well as seven goals in five Europa League appearances.
