West Ham in pole position for Lingard

According to The Daily Express, there has been a major development in West Ham United’s hunt to sign Manchester United star Jesse Lingard in January.

The Lowdown: West Ham eye Lingard deal…

Numerous reliable sources have backed that manager David Moyes has identified the signing of Lingard on a permanent deal as one of West Ham’s major priorities this month.

Club insider ExWHUemployee claimed recently that the Irons are set to make a move early this window while reliable reporter Jack Rosser of The Evening Standard reiterates that Moyes is still very much eager.

This comes as Lingard’s current deal at Old Trafford expires in the summer with no sign of fresh terms as The Express now share a major update involving West Ham.

The Latest: West Ham ‘at the front of the queue’…

As per the outlet, West Ham are ‘at the front of the queue’ to sign United’s attacker as they enter pole position for his January signing.

It is believed the Irons are now ‘ready to table’ another bid to sign Lingard as he remains Moyes’ top target, with West Ham’s manager personally ‘working on a package’ to tempt him behind-the-scenes.

The Verdict: Exciting…

Given Moyes’ is currently readying an offer for the 29-year-old as he aims to seal his permanent signing, this update comes as an exciting one with West Ham now favourites.

Lauded as ‘absolutely phenomenal’ and the best player in the Premier League on form at one stage last season (Adrian Durham, talkSPORT), Moyes himself has been very public in his praise for Lingard.

The Scotsman waxed lyrical over England’s international ace, calling him ‘incredible’ for his performances on loan at the London Stadium over 2020/2021.

He bagged a brilliant nine goals and four assists in just 16 English top flight starts, leaving little wonder Moyes wants a return, and Hammers supporters may be hoping he gets his wish before January 31.

New Zealand could field up to three Test debutants in the one-off match against Bangladesh after calling up the opener Peter Ingram, the batsman Neil Broom and the fast bowler Andy McKay. The trio is part of a 13-man squad that does not feature the out-of-form Daniel Flynn, who has been dropped for the Hamilton Test that starts on Monday.Grant Elliott and Jesse Ryder were unavailable due to injuries, while Iain O’Brien was also out of contention from New Zealand’s most recent Test side having retired from international cricket. The coach and selector Mark Greatbatch said the three new faces had forced their way in thanks to strong domestic performances.”Peter Ingram has been picked based on the form he has shown in the longer versions of the game over the last three years of domestic cricket,” Greatbatch said. “We always had an eye on him for the Test matches, and this is his chance to step up. The top order is an important area where we need to improve and we want to see how Peter goes at the next level.”Neil Broom has been picked on the weight of domestic runs he has scored. We have moved Martin Guptill down the order. We feel that this is a more natural position for him and he is better suited there. He is a quality young player and he needs a chance to play longer innings.”Andy McKay has been a big improver this year with Wellington. He took his opportunities in the ODI games he played against Bangladesh and in all formats of the game for Wellington, so now he has a chance to prove himself the Test arena. Andy has some good pace and can move the ball around, which is always going to bother even the best of players.”New Zealand squad Tim McIntosh, BJ Watling, Peter Ingram, Ross Taylor, Martin Guptill, Neil Broom, Daniel Vettori (capt), Brendon McCullum (wk), Tim Southee, Daryl Tuffey, Andy McKay, Jeetan Patel, Chris Martin.

Conselho do Santos aprova terceiro uniforme para a próxima temporada

MatériaMais Notícias

O Conselho Deliberativo do Santos aprovou por ampla maioria a fabricação do terceiro uniforme para a próxima temporada. O manto será feito pela nova fornecedora de material esportivo do clube, a Umbro, que volta a ser parceira do Peixe em março.

O terceiro uniforme volta a ser azul escuro e não tem previsão para ser lançado, mas deve ser vendido antes da Copa do Mundo.

A grande antecedência também se deve ao fato de que a inglesa Umbro estará focada na Copa do Mundo a partir do começo do ano que vem. A empresa é fornecedora da seleção da Sérvia e precisa da aprovação para fabricar os uniformes com antecedência.

O último terceiro uniforme do Santos foi lançado em setembro deste ano e tem estampa camuflada. A única vez que foi utilizado foi em 23 de setembro, na vitória sobre o Atlético-PR, na Vila Belmiro.

Soucek below par for West Ham

West Ham United advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon as they beat fellow Premier League outfit Leeds United 2-0 at the London Stadium to set up a trip to National League North outfit Kidderminster Harriers.

Manuel Lanzini and Jarrod Bowen scored the goals in a routine performance against Marcelo Bielsa’s side, who will make the same trip down from Yorkshire in seven days time for the Premier League fixture.

However, despite progress in the competition for David Moyes’ outfit, one of the Scotsman’s most reliable players, Tomas Soucek, had a forgettable afternoon in East London.

The Czech Republic international mustered a 6.7/10 rating from SofaScore, below his average rating of 6.99 in the Premier League this campaign.

The 26-year-old, who is usually a colossal presence in the middle for West Ham, could only complete 46% of his duels whilst making just one tackle and two interceptions.

Moreover, the midfielder only made 46 touches whilst losing the ball on seven occasions, an average of 6.57.

In fairness to Soucek, he did have an impressive passing accuracy of 92%, however, the performance was below the admittedly high standard that he has set for himself since arriving in East London from Slavia Prague in July 2020.

Last season the £47k-per-week Czech was a revelation as the Hammers went on to finish sixth in the Premier League and qualify for the Europa League group stages.

Soucek played every single minute of West Ham’s Premier League campaign last season as David Moyes’ side secured European football, scoring ten goals whilst operating as a defensive-minded midfielder.

This campaign, the 26-year-old has picked up from where he left off, making 28 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals, all of which in the Premier League.

It is because of these high standards that an average performance looked particularly underwhelming and Moyes will hope to have the best version of his midfielder as often as possible with the Hammers set for a significant second half of the season.

سكاي توضح موقف ميسي من العودة إلى برشلونة في عام 2023

أفادت شبكة “سكاي سبورتس” بحقيقة وجود عرض من برشلونة لعودة قائده السابق، ليونيل ميسي، مع نهاية الموسم الحالي بالمجان فور انتهاء عقده مع باريس سان جيرمان.

وكان ميسي قد رحل عن برشلونة وقلعة “كامب نو” بعد مرور 17 عامًا تقريبًا مع الفريق الأول، بسبب الأزمة المالية الطاحنة التي كان يعيشها العملاق الكتالوني بسبب فيروس كورونا.

خرجت في الأيام الأخيرة أنباء عن نية برشلونة في استعادة ميسي، وخطة من باريس سان جيرمان لمنع الأرجنتيني من العودة إلى “كامب نو” بعد موسمين من رحيله.

بالأمس، أكد متخصص سوق الانتقالات في شبكة “سكاي سبورتس”، فابرزيو رومانو، أن مصادر مقربة من ميسي أخبرته بأن اللاعب لن يحسم مستقبله إلا في عام 2023 وليس الآن.

ولكنه شدد على أن هناك مناقشات في برشلونة بالفعل لعودة الأرجنتيني، وباريس سان جيرمان لن يقف مكتوف الأيدي ويريدون تمديد عقده.

بالإضافة إلى ذلك، أكد رومانو عبر حسابه على “تويتر” اليوم، الأربعاء، أن ميسي لم يتلق أي عرض رسمي حتى الآن، وبالتالي، لن يدخل في أي مفاوضات.

ووكر: واثق من مشاركتي في مونديال قطر.. وأتمنى ألا يخضع ريس جيمس للجراحة

أبدى لاعب فريق مانشستر سيتي، كايل ووكر، ثقته في فوزه بسباقه ليكون لائقًا لكأس العالم بعد خضوعه لعملية جراحية.

وخضع الظهير الأيمن لمانشستر سيتي لعملية جراحية في الفخذ الأسبوع الماضي بعد خروجه في النصف الأول من مباراة الديربي 6-3 على مانشستر يونايتد في 2 أكتوبر.

تنطلق بطولة كأس العالم في قطر في 20 نوفمبر، وسُئل عما إذا كان يشعر بالثقة أو الأمل، قال الدولي الإنجليزي لشبكة “بي بي سي” العالمية: “أنا واثق، أشعر بالثقة”.

وأضاف: “لقد مررت بما يكفي في مسيرتي الآن لمعرفة جسدي ومعرفة ما أشعر به وأشعر فقط أنه يمكنني القيام بذلك، لكنه جسم الإنسان، لذا سأضطر إلى التحلي بالصبر أيضًا معه”.

وواصل: “ستكون هناك بعض المطبات على الطريق، لكن آمل أن أكون جزءًا من القائمة المستدعاة”.

قال اللاعب البالغ من العمر 32 عامًا إنه “يشعر بتحسن أكثر من المتوقع ويتقدم بشكل جيد”، وأوضح: “إنه أمر محبط، أعتقد أن أي شخص يلعب كرة القدم سيقول إن الإصابة هي الأسوأ”.

واستمر: “لكنها منحتني القليل من التحدي، وهو تحد أستمتع به، وأنا أفضل بكثير مما اعتقدوا أنني سأتمكن من القيام به الآن، بعد 10 أيام من ذلك، لذلك أنا مستعد فقط للذهاب إلى صالة الألعاب الرياضية والدخول إلى أرض الملعب”.

وأكد: “لقد كان الأمر جنونيًا بعض الشيء حيث أخبرت الجراح بسرعة إجراء العملية، حيث لدي كأس عالم، ومن ثم عليه أن يفعل ذلك، أراد أن يفعلها يوم الخميس، ولكن طلبت منه تنفيذها يوم الإثنين”.

واستطرد: “حمل حقيبته حرفيًا وقال (سألتقي بك هناك في غضون ساعة)، وبعد ذلك خضعت للجراحة، كانت ضرورية”.

ويعاني ريس جيمس وترينت ألكسندر أرنولد، ثنائي منتخب إنجلترا، من إصابات في الوقت الحالي.

قال جراهام بوتر مدرب تشيلسي يوم الجمعة إن جيمس، الذي يعاني من مشكلة في الركبة، سيقابل أخصائيًا خلال عطلة نهاية الأسبوع لتقييم مدى خطورة الإصابة.

وقال ووكر عن الشاب البالغ من العمر 22 عامًا: “إنه لا يصدق، فقط شخصيته وكيف يتصرف في المكان أيضًا، ربما لدينا علاقة خاصة بيني وبينه، لقد كان أحد اللاعبين القلائل الذين أرسلوا لي رسالة نصية من منتخب إنجلترا يسألني كيف سارت الأمور، هل أنا بخير، وأشياء صغيرة من هذا القبيل تعني الكثير”.

واستكمل: “بالنسبة لي أرى السماء هي حدوده، أعتقد أننا رأينا ذلك من خلال ما حققه حتى الآن في مسيرته وهو شاب فقط، آمل ألا يكون الأمر خطيرًا للغاية، وآمل ألا نتحدث عن الجراحة وأشياء من هذا القبيل”.

واختتم: “لكن لديه عقلية للعودة إذا كان عليه الخضوع لعملية جراحية، أو إذا كان يحتاج إلى إعادة التأهيل، من يدري، فأنا لست طبيبًا”.

AVFC claim emerges on Chukwuemeka

Even though Aston Villa have been active in the current January transfer window in bringing new players into the club such as Philippe Coutinho and Lucas Digne, it seems as though there are still some question marks over the future of one of the current players in Steven Gerrard’s squad that could have some fans sweating.

What’s the news?

In a recent online Q&A from Birmingham Live, Villa journalist Ashley Preece was asked what the current situation is regarding Carney Chukwuemeka after it was previously reported by The Guardian that the midfielder will not be signing a new deal at the Midlands club due to lack of regular first-team action.

In response, Preece had this to say on the matter.

“I’ve since quizzed Gerrard on this and it’s clear that the manager wants him to stay. He’s got 18 months left on his current deal – there will be some big hitters from Europe who’ll be keen to take him. Gerrard is urging him to commit his future to Villa.”

Fans sweating

Considering the teenager’s considerable potential at Villa Park, this situation is likely to leave plenty of supporters of the club sweating about his future.

The 18-year-old, who has worked his way through Villa’s youth ranks, has made a total of 63 appearances for the club’s senior and youth sides, scoring 13 goals and providing 14 assists in the process.

Out of those 63 appearances, ten of them have come in Villa’s senior side with six of them coming this season in the Premier League.

Even though he’s made five appearances for Villa since Gerrard was appointed as Villa manager back in mid-November, all of them have been off the substitutes bench, showing why Chukwuemeka may have some concerns about his playing time if he feels he’s ready to be a regular starter for the team.

The fact that Gerrard is apparently urging the midfielder to sign a new deal at Villa shows just how much he rates him and wants to keep the youngster in his squad and why the fans would be concerned by the current situation the player has put himself in.

The best outcome in this situation would be for Gerrard to convince Chukwuemeka to sign a new deal at Villa and put to bed any speculation about his future.

However, if this were to happen, the Villa boss would have to make sure he gets sufficient playing time so that he doesn’t become unhappy and then run the risk of seeing the club lose one of their brightest young prospects.

Renan Ribeiro já pode assinar com outro time, mas espera São Paulo

MatériaMais Notícias

Hoje reserva no São Paulo, Renan Ribeiro já está livre para assinar pré-contrato com outro clube. Seu vínculo acaba em 28 de maio e seus representantes têm recebido sondagens. Mas a definição de seu futuro deve passar por uma reunião com dirigentes do Tricolor nos próximos dias.

​A diretoria prometeu tratar da renovação de Renan depois que o Campeonato Brasileiro acabar – a última rodada ocorre neste domingo, com o São Paulo enfrentando o Bahia, no Morumbi. Mas ainda não há um consenso no clube a respeito da ampliação do contrato do goleiro, que virou reserva de Sidão a partir de agosto.

Renan Ribeiro está no clube desde maio de 2013 e, no meio do ano, chegou a receber uma proposta de renovação até dezembro de 2021, mas não houve acordo salarial. A diretoria garante que ofereceu um valor superior ao da maioria dos goleiros de grandes clubes do Brasil e, desde agosto, a negociação esfriou bastante.

As conversas perderam força exatamente quando Renan Ribeiro perdeu a posição para Sidão, em 20 de agosto. Desde então, Renan chegou a ficar fora do banco de reservas por problemas físicos, mas já vem treinando normalmente e deve estar entre os suplentes do jogo das 17h de domingo.

É considerado provável que, caso a diretoria queira manter Renan, seja oferecido um salário abaixo do proposto há quatro meses, quando ele era titular. Pesa contra o goleiro o acordo já apalavrado do São Paulo para contratar Jean, do Bahia, além de Sidão estar agradando.

Renan Ribeiro tem 27 anos e já recebeu sondagens de times do Brasil e do exterior. Seus empresários, porém, só avançarão em alguma negociação quando ouvirem da diretoria são-paulina os planos do clube para o jogador.

Usman Khawaja and Phillip Hughes narrowly missed centuries as they strengthened New South Wales’ position in Hobart. The Blues finished on 4 for 245 to gain a 410-run lead after Khawaja breezed to 89 off 99 balls and Hughes posted 84, becoming the season’s leading scorer with 936, during a stand of 163.Tasmania were dismissed for 303 in the second session to fall 165 behind on first innings during a match they must win to stay in contention for the final.

Alan Richardson seals Worcestershire win

Middlesex plunged to a 111-run defeat following another batting failure byAndrew Strauss in the County Championship Division Two match againstWorcestershire at New Road

Middlesex plunged to a 111-run defeat following another batting failure byAndrew Strauss in the County Championship Division Two match againstWorcestershire at New Road.The England captain, who resumed on 10, fell for 15 after making only a singlein his first innings. His rapid exit started a steady decline by Middlesex who, despite a battling 69 from Dawid Malan, were all out for 169 in their pursuit of a victory target of281.Strauss, warming up for his return to England duty, spent just three quarters of an hour at the crease during a match in which he faced 38 balls. His failure to get into full flow gave Worcestershire an opportunity to open their season in fine style after being unable to register a victory during last year’s grim relegation campaign.The last time they won a Championship match was in August 2008 when theyovercame Essex by six wickets at Colchester. Their previous triumph in the competition at New Road was in July of the same year when they beat Glamorgan by 10 wickets. After 19 games without a Championship win, Vikram Solanki’s men scented overdue success when the visitors started to subside after resuming on 12 for one.Strauss added only a four and a single before being trapped lbw when he left alone a delivery from his former Middlesex team-mate Alan Richardson, who marked his Worcestershire debut with a four-for-35 haul. Strauss’ quickfire dismissal, after an innings spanning 27 balls in which he hit a couple of fours, led to Sam Robson joining nightwatchman Iain O’Brien in what was a brief partnership. Paceman Richard Jones made sure of that when he fired in a delivery which reared up at O’Brien who fended a catch to Daryl Mitchell at second slip.His departure brought together Robson and Malan who added a further 42 before Worcestershire struck again to have Robson, prodding forward to Gareth Andrew, caught behind by Ben Scott who is on loan from Middlesex.Shortly afterwards the hosts spurned a chance to get rid of Malan when he wasput down while on 31 at second slip by Mitchell off Chris Whelan. The escape allowed him to move on to 46 before losing the companionship of Adam London who, going for a second run, was run out by a direct throw from third man by Richardson. John Simpson then fell to Jones for a duck before Malan completed his half century soon after with nine fours off 78 balls.Gareth Berg was dropped by Scott off Jones for 18, but added only four moreruns before being lbw to Richardson. Shaun Udal survived a spilled slip catch to Moeen Ali before Malan finally departed after hitting 11 fours off 122 balls to leave Worcestershire to quickly polish off the final two wickets for a three-day victory.
