HEGS is back, but it feels, I must say, a bit like I hadn't really been away.

Ahumada stays, and Agüero to England?

2
Now, here's a surprise. For days, his departure has been a given, but on Monday Oscar Ahumada, who's been arguing with River Plate's directors about his contractual status for over a week, agreed to a contract extension with the Núñez club which will see him remain with the champions for the foreseeable future.

Flores in, Ahumada out, and Bravo to follow…

4
Oscar Ahumada made a bit of a stir during River's successful Clausura campaign, criticising the club's fans in the aftermath of the superclásico defeat in La Bombonera before going on to be one of the team's best players in the subsequent matches, superb in particular against championship competitors Estudiantes.

Carrizo returns to Rome, Krupoviesa is repatriated
