Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

THE 25-year-old midfielder made 17 appearances for the Stamford Bridge side last season but has yet to figure once this term - apparently becoming another English player squeezed out by Chelsea's foreign imports. Surely he will not want to languish in the shadows much longer, having last played in the Premiership against Blackburn Rovers last April.

Sheffield United

THE talented England Under-18 midfielder has been targeted by the Newcastle manager, Ruud Gullit, and attracted the attention of Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday in recent weeks. But, after lengthy contract talks with the Driffield-born 18-year-old, the Blades manager, Steve Bruce, is increasingly confident he can keep him at Bramall Lane.

HAVING stood in for Agent Fox Mulder in the X-files, Chelsea's Romanian wing-back now seems to be developing a parallel career as an England off-spinner. How he has managed to combine the two is a puzzler. Maybe Mulder can answer that one...
