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.

Chris Coleman, the Fulham manager, has agreed a £3m deal with Portsmouth for Amdy Faye as a replacement for Sean Davis, who signed for Tottenham Hotspur last week.

Coleman moved fast for the Cameroon midfielder who will take over Davis' midfield holding role. The former Auxerre player, who was travelling to London yesterday for talks and a medical, had only been at Fratton Park for a season. Portsmouth could now spend the cash on buying Alexi Smertin from Chelsea or the Greece international Angelos Basinas.

Portsmouth, meanwhile, signed Lomana LuaLua and David Unsworth yesterday. LuaLua, 23, joins from Newcastle after spending the final four months of last season on loan at Fratton Park, while Unsworth arrives from Everton.

Also on his way out of Goodison Park - to Fulham for £1.3m - is Tomasz Radzinski, whose last act in Liverpool is likely to be paying a £35,000 fine from the furious Everton manager, David Moyes, for criticising him in a newspaper article.

The striker's remarks about Wayne Rooney needing to move andthe manager's decision-making are set to be the final chapter in his Goodison career.
