Jules Koundé

Barcelona’s Jules Koundé can always be relied on for an eyebrow-raising outfit or two, and his recent shoot with adidas is no exception. The France defender is a natural in front of the camera, which is handy given the eye-popping width of the trousers he was tasked with modelling, before donning a striking poncho-slash-kaftan and seemingly balancing a chair on his right foot. The most impressive feat is that he somehow manages to look cool while doing it; if it wasn’t obvious already, Koundé is clearly the chief sartorial savant for the new age of football’s fashion-focused stars.

Ball to ballads

Sergio Ramos

Drake’s claim about sports stars and musicians – “'cause we want to be them, and they want to be us” – continues to ring true, after two new names entered the recording booth in recent weeks. First up is a pretty standard Travis Scott-inspired effort from Bayern’s Michael Olise who, posing with a motorbike and diamond grills, hardly breaks new ground for footballers taking on the rap game. The second effort, meanwhile, offers something a little different. Channelling his inner crooner, Sergio Ramos uses his surprisingly melodious voice in his new Latin pop single to settle some scores from his Real Madrid days: “There are things I didn’t tell you that still hurt me/I never wanted to leave, you asked me to fly.” Can’t wait for the album.
