Newcastle send high-ranking scout to watch "unplayable" £45,000-a-week star

da dobrowin: Newcastle United sent a high-ranking scout to watch an “unplayable” Premier League player in action earlier this week, according to a promising transfer update.

Newcastle transfer news

da poker: The Magpies are absolutely flying at the moment, finding themselves in their most imperious run of form during Eddie Howe’s entire tenure as manager.

That’s not to say that new signings wouldn’t be welcomed at Newcastle in the January transfer window, however, with Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo continuing to be linked with a move to St James’ Park. He scored in his side’s 2-2 draw away to Chelsea in midweek, taking his tally to six goals in the Premier League this season.

Zion Suzuki is also reportedly considered a transfer target for the Magpies, with the Parma goalkeeper seen as an alternative option to James Trafford between the sticks. Only 22 years of age, the Japanese youngster has made 19 Serie A starts for his current club this season.

Newcastle have even been linked with an audacious move for Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, although a move to Paris Saint-Germain now looks highly likely this month, with a medical at the Ligue 1 giants even thought to be taking place.

Newcastle send Nickson to watch "unplayable" ace

According to The Chronicle‘s Lee Ryder, Newcastle sent chief scout Steve Nickson to watch Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo in action against Manchester City on Tuesday night, as they drew 2-2 at home to the Premier League champions.

Ryder says that the fact that he was present in midweek is a “positive sign ahead of the summer”, with the wide man potentially considered a primary target, as they look to sign a top-quality right-sided player. The Bees want £50m for his services, but they aren’t entertaining offers in January.

Bryan Mbeumo celebrates for Brentford

At this point, it really does feel like Mbeumo is a major target for Newcastle in the summer, and it’s no shock that they seemingly rate him so highly. The £45,000-a-week Cameroonian is enjoying a fantastic season for Brentford, scoring 13 goals in 21 appearances in the league, with Thomas Frank describing him as “unplayable”.

His manager has been an admirer for some time, also saying of him back in 2022: “It’s brilliant I must say. He’s been brilliant for us this year in the Premier League. He came back from a minor injury, we knew that he wanted to play ready for Tuesday. And three quality finishes, very composed.”

Newcastle feel so close to having such a complete team under Howe, with the midfield perfectly balanced and the likes of Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak excelling in attack. While Jacob Murphy is also in superb form on the right flank, a superior replacement to him needs to be found moving forward, filling the void left by the departing Miguel Almiron at the same time.

Howe could sign right-sided Gordon at Newcastle in £50m "unreal talent"

Newcastle are prepared to spend this winter as Eddie Howe targets greatness.

ByAngus Sinclair Jan 17, 2025

Semenyo is a great option for Newcastle, but Mbeumo should be seen as the standout choice, providing such consistent end product from his right wing role, and at 25, he still has many years ahead of him.

Tector moves to No. 7 in ODI rankings, the best ever for an Ireland batter

His 206 runs during the Bangladesh series take him past Virat Kohli, Quinton de Kock and Rohit Sharma, among others

ESPNcricinfo staff17-May-2023

Harry Tector has scored 769 runs in ODIs since the start of 2022•Andrew Miller/ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Harry Tector has moved up to a career-best No. 7 spot, which is also the best for an Ireland batter, in the latest ICC men’s ODI batting rankings following his 206 runs during the three-match series against Bangladesh.Tector registered scores of 21*, 140 and 45 across three ODIs. While it wasn’t enough to prevent a 2-0 loss for Ireland, it saw him gain 72 rating points and take his tally to 722, which is also the most for an Ireland men’s batter. The previous best for them was Paul Stirling’s 697 in June 2021.Tector’s performance took him past Virat Kohli, Quinton de Kock and Rohit Sharma, among others, who are currently at No. 8, 9 and 10 respectively on the table. Babar Azam continues to be the top-ranked ODI batter with 886 rating points .Full rankings tables

Since 2022, he has smashed 769 runs in 13 innings – including four centuries and as many half-centuries – at an average of 76.90 and a strike rate of 90.89. The next best tally for Ireland in this period is Paul Stirling’s 352 from 12 innings. Tector will get a chance to further improve his ranking when Ireland take part in the World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe in June.Tector’s team-mate Mark Adair also made giant strides in the latest update, jumping 30 spots up to No. 31 on the bowlers’ list and 33 spots up to No. 33 on the allrounders’ list. Adair took seven wickets, and scored 40 runs from two innings, during the Bangladesh series.

Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green masterclasses take Australia to 480

R Ashwin, putting in a special performance of his own on a track offering little assistance, made sure they did not bat India out of the game

Alex Malcolm10-Mar-20232:01

Tait: A bit of Jacques Kallis about Cameron Green

India 36 for 0 (Gill 18*, Rohit 17*) trail Australia 480 (Khawaja 180, Green 114, Ashwin 6-91) by 444 runsAn epic 10-hour 180 from Usman Khawaja and a dazzling maiden Test century from Cameron Green helped Australia post an imposing first-innings total in Ahmedabad but it would have been far greater without six wickets from a tireless R Ashwin to ensure India weren’t batted completely out of the game.Khawaja and Green shared a magnificent stand of 208, the first double-century stand by an Australian pair in India since 1979 and just the fifth overall. Khawaja faced 422 balls over more than five sessions to post the third-highest score by an Australian in India. He deserved a double-century but fell to one of his only lapses in the innings first ball after tea. Green struck 18 boundaries in an equally dominant display to shake off the Test century monkey that was starting to grow into a gorilla on his broad back.But Ashwin conjured some magic either side of tea taking five of the last six wickets to finish with 6 for 91 from a relentless 47.2 overs on a pitch offering precious little assistance to the spinners compared to the raging turners of the previous three Tests.Batting in black armbands to honour absent captain Pat Cummins’ mother Maria following her passing overnight, Khawaja and Green prospered in the first three hours of the second day. The pair complemented each other beautifully, batting through the entire first session almost faultlessly.Khawaja continued on his merry way from his first-day century. The serenity of his play was something to behold. He was completely unflustered throughout, picking off bad balls without risk and defending with ease. He never looked in any kind of trouble. Every time India’s bowlers erred straight, he tucked them away with sublime timing. Any time they erred wide, he would find a gap with elegant simplicity.Green fed off Khawaja’s energy to play the best innings of his career to date. An elusive Test century had been hanging over his head across his first 19 Tests, having failed to convert six previous Test half-centuries despite having scored eight first-class hundreds.He began the day on 49 and moved swiftly through the gears in the opening session. While Khawaja rotated the strike serenely, Green pummelled anything loose with eye-catching authority. Every time Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav overpitched, he dispatched them down the ground either side of mid-off. Shami tested him with the short stuff with men back on the fence as he neared the nervous 90s, and he clubbed a devastating pull shot to end that mode of attack moments after it started.He was patient to the spinners, defending solidly on the front foot and driving to long-off and long-on to rotate the strike. He went after anything fractionally short and wide, never missing a cut shot that was offered. He had to eat lunch stuck on 95 but only needed eight balls after the break to celebrate his maiden Test century with Ravindra Jadeja dropping short and wide for him to crack it behind point.ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Green looked set for a massive score, having converted four of his previous nine first-class centuries into 150-plus scores including a 251. But Ashwin’s patience and willingness to dry him up on a leg-stump line eventually paid dividends. Having not swept a single ball in his entire innings, he tried to sweep a ball well down the legside and gloved it to KS Bharat.It sparked a mini-collapse as Australia’s tail threatened to fold cheaply yet again. Alex Carey played arguably his worst shot of the series trying to hit Ashwin over mid-off fourth ball only to skew a top edge to short third. Ashwin made it three wickets in quick succession when he had Mitchell Starc smartly caught at short leg by Shreyas Iyer via the inside edge.But Nathan Lyon provided stubborn resistance having been promoted to No. 9. He produced the longest innings of his Test career batting for 133 minutes and surviving 96 balls for 34. He helped Khawaja get to tea and was determined to take him further but Khawaja fell first ball after the break, missing a short delivery on leg stump to be trapped lbw by Axar Patel. Khawaja cut a dejected figure having fallen 20 runs short of a maiden Test double-century just two months after posting 195 not out against South Africa.India thought they would wrap the innings up in short time as per the previous three Tests but Todd Murphy made his highest first-class score of 41 with five boundaries. The pair added 70 and ground India into the dirt as they played with assuredness and comfort to prove how good a batting strip it is if you are prepared to spend time out there.But Ashwin found a way through them with the third new ball, getting two offbreaks to skid on straight, with Murphy trapped plumb lbw and Lyon caught at slip.Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill shook off any fatigue that might have developed from 167.2 overs in the field to bat out the last 10 overs of the day without any concerns. Both timed the ball sublimely to confirm the track is exceptional to bat on, particularly against the extra pace and bounce of Starc and Green. They were allowed fewer liberties against Lyon and Matthew Kuhnemann, although Gill launched Lyon into the stands in the final over of the day to make a statement.

Wolves in talks to sign Champions League winner who’d upgrade on Hwang

da betano casino: What an instantaneous impact Vítor Pereira has made at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

da aposte e ganhe: When Gary O’Neil was sacked in mid-December, Wolves had just lost four successive Premier League matches, winning only three of their last 26, dating back to early-March.

Thus, few would’ve forecast Pereira’s reign would commence with back-to-back victories, hammering Leicester and then toppling Manchester United on Boxing Day, before earning a credible 2-2 draw with Spurs last Sunday; Jørgen Strand Larsen lashing home a late equaliser from an acute angle in North London.

Wolverhampton Wanderers managerVitorPereirareacts after the match

However, ahead of Monday night’s clash with Nottingham Forest at Molineux, only goal difference is keeping Wolves out of the bottom three, meaning supporters are certainly still concerned.

After this, the Old Gold’s next five league opponents are Newcastle, Chelsea, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Liverpool, hence why Pereira will surely be eager to strengthen his squad in January.

Champions League winner could sign for Wolves

According to reports from Turkish outlet Sabah Spor, Wolves are in talks with the agent of former Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech, to sign him.

Currently with Galatasaray, the report suggests that Ziyech is no longer training, as he seeks to force through a January move, having not even been on the bench for the Süper Lig leaders’ last three matches.

Chelsea forward Hakim Ziyech.

Ziyech burst onto the scene during his time with Ajax, a key figure as they reached the Champions League semi-finals in 2019, earning him a £33.6m move to Chelsea, with whom he won the Champions League, before being cast aside following the change in ownership.

The Moroccan then moved to Galatasaray in August 2023 for a fee of around £3m, most notably scoring two free-kicks in the same game as the Turkish giants held Manchester United to a 3-3 draw in the Champions League.

Now, out of favour in İstanbul, starting only three matches so far this season, Ziyech is likely to be available at a cut price. One journalist on the continent claims he will move this month “no doubt”, and Wolves seemingly lead the race to land his signature.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

How Hakim Ziyech would improve Wolves

As Sam Dean of the Telegraph documented, Ziyech earned the nickname “the Wizard of Amsterdam” during his time at Ajax, with Goal describing him as “magic”.

Now though, approaching his 32nd birthday, just how good is Ziyech, and how does he compare to Hwang Hee-chan, the player he’d surely be seeking to replace in the front three, alongside Matheus Cunha and Jørgen Strand Larsen?

As outlined in the table, Hwang and Ziyech are very different players.

The South Korean is a goal-scoring wide-forward, netting in Wolves’ last two Premier League matches against Man United and then Tottenham.

In contrast, Ziyech is a creator, accumulating 81 assists during his time at Ajax, as well as 13 for Chelsea, underlined by his numbers when it comes to both passes and crosses into the penalty area.

Considering Wolves have the fourth-lowest xG figure of any team in the Premier League this season (19.4), a creator-in-chief could be just what Pereira’s team require this month, underlining why Ziyech could be both an opportunistic but also an astute edition in their battle against the drop.

Bastidores da eliminação: Palmeiras se revolta com arbitragem, lamenta expulsões, mas sem 'caçar bruxas'

MatériaMais Notícias

da cassino online: O Palmeiras ainda junta os cacos da eliminação para o Athletico-PR na semifinal da Libertadores. Depois de empatar em 2 a 2 no Allianz Parque e ser derrotado no placar agregado, o Verdão está fora da disputa de sua terceira final continental consecutiva. Após a partida, porém, não houve caça às bruxas, mas sim lamentação pelas expulsões e muita revolta em relação à atuação do árbitro de vídeo.

da betobet: > Confira os públicos do Palmeiras no Allianz Parque em 2022

A expulsão de Murilo acabou sendo um dos pontos que atrapalharam o plano da virada do Alviverde dentro de casa, que se desenhava com a atuação impositiva na primeira etapa. Ficou o sentimento interno de que com um jogador a mais, o segundo gol (talvez o terceiro) viria no segundo tempo. Nada que tenha “crucificado” o zagueiro, que foi acolhido pelos companheiros.

Mas não foi a única expulsão que causou lamento no Palmeiras. As perdas de Danilo (para os dois jogos) e de Scarpa (para o primeiro jogo) também foram elencadas como fatores que pesaram para a eliminação. O meia é a liderança técnica deste momento no elenco, como provou com sua atuação no Allianz Parque, enquanto o volante é o “dono” do meio-campo, embora Menino tenha ido bem.

A necessidade da mudança de estrutura tática para o jogo na Arena da Baixada, aliada ao gol perdido por López logo no começo da partida, também estão na lista dos pontos que decidiram a semifinal a favor do Furacão. O Verdão não pôde ser 100% do que teria potencial para ser diante dos desfalques e das alterações no time.

Mas o que revoltou mesmo o elenco e a comissão técnica foi a omissão do VAR em determinados lances da partida. Apesar de entenderem o vermelho de Murilo como justo, há um inconformismo sobre a cotovelada de Alex Santana em Rony, que poderia valer um cartão vermelho. Esteban Ostojich nem sequer foi chamado para ver o vídeo. A situação ocorreu bem antes de o zagueiro ser expulso.

Além disso, há o lance do pisão de Fernandinho em Rony dentro da área em uma cobrança de escanteio. O sentimento é de que o VAR optou por não revisar a jogada, mesmo sendo uma evidente situação de pênalti que mudaria o desfecho da partida quando ela ainda estava 2 a 0, segundo pessoas ouvidas pelo LANCE!. Em sua entrevista coletiva, Abel Ferreira deixou explícita a sua revolta com a arbitragem.

-O sentimento é de revolta. Revolta. É isso que sentimos. Revolta. Queria ter saído da competição de maneira limpa. Não merecíamos sair assim. Meus jogadores cumpriram o que tinham que cumprir. Só que houve um fator extra que não controlamos e hoje foi muito mal. Teve interferência direta no resultado. Acredito que são erros. Somos humanos e cometemos erros, mas esses custam muito. É duro sair da forma como foi. O árbitro teve um dia ruim, tenho que acreditar nisso, mas são erros muito graves. Não merecíamos – disse o técnico.

Embora tenha sido uma eliminação dura e doída para elenco e comissão técnica, não há indícios de uma “caça às bruxas”, procurando culpados e erros internos que justificariam a queda para o Athletico-PR. O jogo será analisado como todos os outros são, mas sem pesos diferentes. Abel e seus auxiliares seguem o trabalho como sempre, buscando escalar o melhor que têm à disposição.

Além disso, o foco dos jogadores imediatamente já foi para o Brasileirão, competição que o Palmeiras lidera e é o grande favorito para levantar a taça. Weverton e Scarpa deram declarações nesse sentido depois da partida, e o sentimento é o mesmo para seus companheiros, que veem o campeonato nacional como mais uma chance de fazerem história e seguirem a trajetória vitoriosa.

Arsenal now most keen on signing £40m player with same agent as Calafiori

da spicy bet: Arsenal have now been named as the club most interested in signing another Serie A star in the coming transfer windows, with the Gunners looking to bolster their ranks according to a fresh report.

Arsenal need reinforcements

da betway: After the news broke that Bukayo Saka underwent surgery for a hamstring injury, Arsenal’s worst fears have been realised. Mikel Arteta’s side are expected to be without their talisman for at least two months, during which time they will face games across the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup.

Though they edged past Ipswich Town in their first Premier League game without the winger, the injury to Raheem Sterling has also depleted their attacking ranks and they had no forwards on their substitutes bench as they fought to a 1-0 home win over the Tractor Boys to keep their slim Premier League title hopes alive.

With January just days away though, fans are hoping that the Gunners will be active as they look to finally land a forward, with the club having failed to seriously bolster their frontline over the summer.

The likes of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Antoine Semenyo have all been linked with the club, but it seems more likely that a loan move for someone like Randal Kolo-Muani is done, with January a notoriously difficult time to do business and each of the previously mentioned trio starring with their current Premier League club.

Now though, a fresh report has seen Arsenal looking at the other end of the pitch too.

Arsenal want new goalkeeper

That is according to a report from Italy, relayed by Sport Witness, which claims that Arsenal lead the way in the race to sign Atalanta shot-stopper Marco Carnesecchi, who is enjoying an ‘extraordinary’ season in Bergamo.

The Italian goalkeeper has kept five clean sheets and conceded just 19 times all season as he has helped Gian Piero Gasperini’s side move to the top of Italian football, and has drawn admiring glances in the process.

Arsenal have “already monitored him closely” and are named as the ‘most interested’ team to sign the 24-year-old, who is a part of the World Soccer Agency, which also represents Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori and who the Gunners are said to have “excellent relations” with.

Arsenal could offer Kiwior in swap deal for £17 million Saka replacement

It could be an ideal exchange.

ByEmilio Galantini Dec 28, 2024

Any deal would be expensive, with Atalanta holding out for at least €40m [£33m] and as much as €50m [£41.5m], but Arsenal are known to be willing to spend big on a backup goalkeeper after their failed swoop for Joan Garcia last summer, which eventually saw them land Neto on loan.

The Brazilian’s loan will expire come the end of the season, leaving Arsenal in need of another shot-stopper to play second fiddle to David Raya. Despite Atalanta’s hefty asking price, Carnesecchi’s contract expires in 2026, meaning that the Bergamo side will be forced to either sell the Italian this summer or risk losing him for free unless they can find a way to convince him to pen new terms with La Dea.

Arsenal fans will be hoping that the club opt to bolster their frontline in the coming transfer windows rather than spend big on a backup goalkeeper, but as the interest in Garcia showed, Arteta and co are happy to splash the cash in that department.
