Arsenal ready to table £59 million offer for "crazy" Serie A superstar

Arsenal are ready to put no less than £59 million on the table to sign a “crazy” Serie A superstar who has scored 14 goals this season, according to a new report.

Arsenal forced into market after more forward injuries

Arsenal have had a difficult few weeks. After losing the first-leg of their EFL Cup semifinal clash with Newcastle United, Mikel Arteta’s side were then dumped out of the FA Cup by struggling Manchester United on penalties.

A win over North London rivals Tottenham followed, but at the weekend, the Gunners again came unstuck, drawing 2-2 with Aston Villa in the Premier League.

To add insult to injury, it was confirmed last week that striker Gabriel Jesus, who had been in a rich vein of form with six goals in his last five games, sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury in the defeat to United. The Brazilian is set to undergo surgery for the injury, and is now expected to miss the rest of the season.

In wake of Jesus’ season-ending injury, Arteta confirmed that the Gunners will be looking to sign a new forward this month.

“My answer doesn’t change,” Arteta said last week when asked about signing a new forward. “We are actively looking in the market to improve the squad and that has been since day one.

“We would be naive not to do that because it is an opportunity, always, to evolve the team and improve the squad, and especially with the circumstances that we have. So yes, we are looking and we are trying, and let’s see what we are able to do.”

He's better than Sesko: Arsenal exploring move for "monster" striker

Arsenal are in desperate need of signing a centre-forward in the January transfer window.

1 ByMatt Dawson Jan 20, 2025 Arsenal ready to bid for Inter star

One striker who is reportedly interesting Arsenal is Inter Milan and France star Marcus Thuram. The 27-year-old has 14 goals and six assists in 26 games for Inter this season, and according to TV Play, via Sports Witness, Arsenal are now prepared to table as much as £59 million for him.

The publication says Thuram is Arteta’s “big dream” but that Inter won’t be willing to part ways with him in January, meaning the Spaniard will have to wait until the summer to land his man.

Thuram, who joined Inter in the summer of 2023 from Borussia Monchengladbach, has previously been described as “crazy” by his former Gladbach teammate Denis Zakaria.

“He is a great guy, a little crazy maybe, but what he brings to the pitch is phenomenal,” said the Swiss midfielder.

Wolfsburg sporting director Marcel Schäfer has also called him a “world class striker,” while Thuram’s ex-Gladbach boss Daniel Farke once described him as “an exceptional player of the highest international class”.

Big, strong, fast and a clinical finisher, Thuram would certainly be a fine acquisition for any club, let alone Arsenal, who are in dire need of a new striker, and not just because of Jesus’ injury. Kai Havertz has yet to prove he has what he takes to lead the line and score regular goals for the Gunners. Thuram has been doing exactly that for Inter.

Allrounder Washington Sundar, who has had a recent history of injuries, is set to return to action for Tamil Nadu in the upcoming 20-over Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Washington has been appointed vice-captain, with B Aparajith replacing Vijay Shankar as captain.Vijay is yet to recover from the shoulder surgery he underwent after his IPL stint with Gujarat Titans. However, T Natarajan, who has been dealing with a recurring knee injury since his memorable tour of Australia in 2020-21, is set to return to action and lead Tamil Nadu’s attack in their quest to defend their T20 title. Natarajan hasn’t played a single competitive game since IPL 2022. Natarajan and Vijay were also sidelined from the Tamil Nadu Premier League.Washington is working his way back after he landed heavily on his left shoulder during his county stint with Lancashire in August. The injury forced him to pull out of India’s ODI series in Zimbabwe. This is only the latest in a long sequence of injury setbacks for the 22-year-old allrounder.He ended up playing just three Royal London Cup matches for Lancashire, scoring 30 runs in two innings and picking up three wickets. Prior to that, he played two County Championship matches too, starring in the win over Northamptonshire with a first-innings haul of 5 for 76 and a knock of 34* in a successful chase of 278.Around the time Washington was returning to India for rehab in August, Lancashire had tweeted he “will fly home to India to undergo treatment on his injured left shoulder, with a view to the all-rounder potentially returning to play in the #LVCountyChamp in September”.ESPNcricinfo has now learned that Washington is unlikely to head back to the UK for the final rounds of the County Championship.Varun Chakravarthy will bolster the Tamil Nadu spin attack•TNPL

At the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he will be part of a potent Tamil Nadu spin attack that includes mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy, legspinner M Ashwin and left-arm fingerspinners M Siddharth and R Sai Kishore. Siddharth was recently with India’s T20I side as a net bowler for the Asia Cup.Barring new faces J Suresh Kumar and G Ajitesh, all other 14 members in Tamil Nadu’s squad have had a taste of the IPL as squad players or support players. Suresh Kumar, who was the second-highest run-getter in TNPL 2022, behind R Sanjay Yadav, is the back-up keeper-opener to N Jagadeesan.In his first TNPL season with Nellai Royal Kings, Ajitesh – having moved from Bengaluru – slotted in as a finisher and sent 14 of the 53 balls he faced over the boundary. However, there was no room for Aparajith’s twin brother B Indrajith, who had played for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2022, and M Mohammed, who was a net bowler with Punjab Kings during the same season.Squad: B Aparajith (capt), Washington Sundar (vice-capt), B Sai Sudharsan, T Natarajan, M Shahrukh Khan, R Sai Kishore, R Sanjay Yadav, Sandeep Warrier, M Siddharth, Varun Chakravarthy, J Suresh Kumar, C Hari Nishaanth, N Jagadeesan, R Silambarasan, M Ashwin, G Ajitesh

Romelu Lukaku 2.0: Everton lining up late swoop for "phenomenal" PL star

The return of David Moyes to Everton was met with great fanfare after the Scottish manager replaced Sean Dyche at the helm for the remainder of the final season at Goodison Park.

People often say that players and managers should avoid going back to a place where they have already been successful, at risk of tainting the legacy set the first time, but it has been a terrific start to his second spell.

The Toffees have won two of his three Premier League matches in charge so far, beating Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 and Brighton & Hove Albion 1-0, after losing 1-0 to Aston Villa in his first game.

Moyes has got the players going and helped them to move seven points clear of the relegation zone, as they look to move well clear of the battle to avoid dropping down to the Championship at the end of the season.

Despite a strong start to his second spell at Goodison, the former Manchester United and West Ham boss is still looking to bolster his squad before the end of the January transfer window.

The deadline is next week and the Toffees are reportedly looking to bring in a forward who could be their next Romelu Lukaku…

Romelu Lukaku's Everton career

The Belgium international initially joined the club on loan from Chelsea for the 2013/14 campaign and was an instant hit on Merseyside, with a return of 15 goals and seven assists in 31 Premier League matches.

Lukaku came in as a player with top-flight experience, having played for West Brom on loan the previous season, and hit the ground running as a reliable outlet at the top end of the pitch.

The Belgian marksman’s sublime form on loan convinced the Toffees to splash a club-record fee of £28m to sign him permanently from Chelsea in the summer of 2014, which turned out to be a fantastic piece of business.

Stats via Transfermarkt

As you can see in the table above, Lukaku went on to score 20 or more goals in all three of his seasons as a permanent Everton player after his £28m switch from Stamford Bridge, which shows that the club certainly got their money’s worth for him.

The Toffees then made a gigantic profit on the powerful centre-forward when Manchester United signed him for a reported fee of £75m in the summer of 2017, after his 26-goal haul in the 2016/17 campaign.

Everton could, now, repeat the masterclass they played with Lukaku by swooping for another loan striker from a Premier League side this month.

Everton keen on Premier League forward

According to The Athletic, in a piece written by David Ornstein, Everton are one of a number of clubs interested in a late move for Brighton centre-forward Evan Ferguson.

The report claims that the Toffees are keen on a deal for the Ireland international and are lining up a swoop to bring him to Goodison Park on loan for the next four months or so.

It states that Brighton are open to sending the 20-year-old number nine out on a temporary deal if a move suits all parties, but it remains to be seen where they would be willing to send him.

Brighton & Hove Albion'sEvanFergusoncelebrates

The Athletic adds that West Ham United and Bournemouth, who are dealing with injuries to their own strikers, are among the other teams in the race to land the Brighton academy graduate before next week’s deadline.

It also reveals that there are clubs from Germany interested in Ferguson but that a move to the Premier League is the most likely scenario at this moment in time, which could come as a boost for the Toffees, although they still have to fend off interest from the Hammers and the Cherries.

Transfer Focus

Everton are in need of a striker after Dominic Calvert-Lewin pulled up with a suspected hamstring injury against Brighton last time out, which is why they should push to get this move over the line.

Why Everton should sign Evan Ferguson

Like the Belgian forward, Ferguson cuts an imposing figure, at 6 foot, at the top end of the pitch and could provide the team with a presence in the number nine position.

It is the 20-year-old attacker’s finishing qualities, however, that could see him emerge as Lukaku 2.0 at Goodison Park, because he has proven himself to be lethal inside the box at Premier League level.

Injuries have hampered his attempts to become a regular starter at Brighton, as he has missed 24 games through injury since the start of last season, but the potential is there for him to be a star if Everton can bring him in and keep the youngster fit.

One of Lukaku’s biggest strengths during his time as a permanent player at Goodison was his lethal nature in front of goal. He scored 53 goals from 49.16 xG across three Premier League seasons after his £28m move, which illustrates how ruthless he was for the club.

Ferguson, who was hailed as “phenomenal” by teammate James Milner, has shown similar qualities in his limited game time for Brighton in recent seasons, which suggests that he has the potential to be a star for the Toffees if it all comes together.

As you can see in the table above, Ferguson has consistently outperformed his xG in the Premier League with the Seagulls and appears to have the quality in front of goal to make the most of any high-quality opportunities that come his way.

Calvert-Lewin has scored three goals from 6.11 xG in the Premier League this season and this suggests that the Irishman could come in to offer more than the Englishman in the finishing department.

رسميًا.. باير ليفركوزن يُعلن عن خليفة تشابي ألونسو

أعلن نادي باير ليفركوزن عن مدربه الجديد لقيادة الفريق الأول لكرة القدم، ليعوض رحيل تشابي ألونسو الذي انتقل لتدريب ريال مدريد.

واستقر ليفركوزن على التعاقد مع مدرب مانشستر يونايتد السابق، إريك تين هاج، الذي رحل قبل أشهر قليلة عن قلعة “أولد ترافورد” بسبب سوء النتائج.

العقد يمتد حتى 30 يونيو 2027، ويبدأ تين هاج مهامه رسميًا اعتبارًا من 1 يوليو المقبل استعدادًا للموسم الجديد.

تين هاج، المدرب الهولندي صاحب الـ55 عامًا، سبق له تدريب مانشستر يونايتد حيث فاز بكأس الرابطة الإنجليزية وكأس الاتحاد في موسمي 2023 و2024.

وتعود نجاحاته السابقة مع أياكس أمستردام لتضيف ثقلًا لخبرته التدريبية، حيث حقق ستة ألقاب خلال الفترة من 2018 إلى 2022.

أوضح ليفركوزن أن اختيار تين هاج يأتي لتأكيد الطموحات التي يسعى النادي الالماني لتحقيقها خلال السنوات الماضية.

وكان باير ليفركوزن خلال المواسم الثلاثة الماضية تحت قيادة المدرب، تشابي ألونسو، وحقق معه بطولة الدوري الألماني في الموسم قبل الماضي، لكنه انتقل لقيادة ريال مدريد بعد رحيل، كارلو أنشيلوتي.

DRAGÃO MARCA CEDO, MAS VAR ANULA POR IMPEDIMENTO

O Corinthians começou apertando a saída de bola do Atlético-GO, dificultando a saída do time da casa. Mesmo assim, o Dragão era a melhor equipe e teve a primeira oportunidade.

Logo no primeiro minuto,Churín recebeu dentro da área e bateu para o meio. Ninguém tocou na bola e ela saiu pela linha de fundo. Aos 14 minutos, Jorginho abriu o placar, mas o gol foi anulado.

Churín recuperou um cruzamento errado e mandou na área. A defesa corintiana vacilou, Jorginho apareceu livre na área e abriu o placar. Contudo, após checagem do VAR por possível impedimento, o gol foi anulado.

ATLÉTICO-GO PERSISTENTE NO ATAQUE

A equipe da casa conseguia aproveitar a fragilidade defensiva do Timão, especialmente pelo lado esquerdo, e conseguia chegar com perigo na meta de Cássio.

Aos 25, Wellington Rato passou com facilidade por Robson Bambu, invadiu a área pela esquerda, mas o camisa 11 bateu ao invés de chutar, e a bola passou ao lado do gol. Três minutos depois, em contra-ataque, Churín cruzou para Baralhas. O volante cabeceou forte, mas no centro do gol, e Cássio agarrou a bola.

A BOLA (E O TERRÃO) PUNEM!

No momento em que o Corinthians parecia mais vulnerável, a equipe de Vítor Pereira conseguiu abrir o placar. Na entrada da área, Du Queiroz driblou três marcadores e rolou para Lucas Piton. O lateral cruzou na medida para Gustavo Mantuan estufar as redes e inaugurar o placar no Antônio Accioly.

O Timão cresceu após o gol e teve chance de ampliar. Adson puxou da direita para o meio e chutou colocado. A bola passou ao lado de trave de Ronaldo.

TIMÃO VOLTA MELHOR NO SEGUNDO TEMPO

Em desvantagem no placar, o Atlético-GO voltou para o segundo tempo mais ofensivo, explorando o lado direito da defesa adversária. O Corinthians fechava melhor os espaços e seguia com problemas na criação.

Aos 16 minutos,Róger Guedes faz uma bela jogada pela esquerda, tentou chute sem ângulo, e Ronaldo fez a defesa. No rebote, Renato Augusto cruzou para Giuliano, que finaliza ao lado do gol.

CORINTHIANS SUPORTA PRESSÃO DO DRAGÃO

Após as alterações de Vítor Pereira, colocando Bruno Melo, João Pedro e Cantillo, o Timão passou a se defender em linha de cinco, chamando o Atlético-GO para o seu campo.

A pressão da equipe goiana se intensificou, e aos 45 minutos, teve chance de ouro para empatar. Em falta cobrada por Jorginho, Lucas Lima aparece na pequena área, mas o camisa 17 não cabeceou bem, e a bola triscou a trave de Cássio.

Ian Salisbury placed on gardening leave following dispute with Sussex player

Joint head coach ‘not currently part of the business’, say club, as Kirtley takes over

ESPNcricinfo staff28-Sep-2022

Ian Salisbury has been placed on gardening leave at Sussex•Getty Images

James Kirtley says that the turmoil behind the scenes at Sussex is “an obvious distraction” to the players, after it was revealed that Ian Salisbury, his fellow head coach, was “not currently part of the business” following a non-cricketing dispute with one of his players.Salisbury had been in charge of Sussex’s Championship and 50-over team since November 2020, with Kirtley taking over the T20 set-up in the same timeframe following the departure of their predecessor Jason Gillespie.However, with the club currently second-from-bottom in the County Championship and battling to avoid defeat in their final match of the season against Glamorgan, it is understood that Salisbury has been placed on gardening leave, due to his handling of the 21-year-old spinner, Jack Carson.Carson, who debuted as a teenager in the Bob Willis Trophy in 2020, was Sussex’s leading wicket-taker in both that competition and the 2021 County Championship. However, having missed the start of the 2022 season following knee surgery, all three of his appearances in the current campaign have come in the past fortnight, since Salisbury’s departure.That includes the ongoing contest against Glamorgan at Hove, but speaking to the BBC at the close of the second day’s play, Kirtley was coy about the circumstances at the club.”We can’t make any further comment on that. There’s a legal process that has to be followed,” Kirtley said. “But it’s an obvious distraction to the lads.”We talk a lot about distractions,” he added. “This is a time of year when contracts are negotiated, and for this young side, it’s very important they understand that this is part of the game, and their ability to rise above those situations is a real skill.”The prospect of losing Carson – a highly-rated offspinner who was born in Northern Ireland but is England-qualified – comes in the wake of several high-profile departures from Hove in recent seasons, most recently the England duo of Chris Jordan and Phil Salt, but before them the likes of Reece Topley, Luke Wells, Danny Briggs, Laurie Evans, Michael Burgess and Harry Finch.It is a talent drain that has come in for scathing criticism from the former Sussex and England wicketkeeper, Matt Prior, who renewed his attack on the club hierarchy – in particular the CEO Rob Andrew and director of cricket, Keith Greenfield – in a series of tweets on Tuesday evening.”Another one the @SussexCCC Chairman, Board, Cricket committee, CEO and Performance Director will want to disappear very quickly,” Prior wrote. “Not sure that’s happening this time. The circle is closing around these people who have done so much to destroy our club.”

As bad as Aaronson: Leeds must drop star who had fewer touches than Meslier

Leeds United have moved five points clear at the top of the Championship table, for now, after they beat Coventry City away from home on Wednesday night.

The Whites took the lead in the match after just 17 minutes when Manor Solomon provided a deft flick through to Joel Piroe, who buried a clinical finish into the bottom corner with his left foot.

Jayden Bogle provided the second goal for Daniel Farke’s men with a marauding run down the right that eventually led to the goalkeeper spilling the ball right back to the defender, who poked it into an almost-empty net.

It was an impressive team performance from the West Yorkshire outfit, but there were some individuals within that who let themselves down, including Brenden Aaronson.

Brenden Aaronson's performance against Coventry

The USA international, who Football FanCast suggested should have been dropped, was selected in the number ten position, and struggled to have a positive impact on the match.

Aaronson was described as ‘wasteful’ in the final third by the Yorkshire Evening Post’s Graham Smyth in his player ratings piece, which summed up the attacking midfielder’s performance perfectly.

Leeds United's Brenden Aaronson in action with Sheffield Wednesday'sSheaCharles

The former Union Berlin loanee had several big chances to play the right pass to send a teammate through on goal in a two-on-one situation and failed to get it right, ending the match without any ‘big chances’ created.

Chalkboard

Aaronson, who also failed to register a shot on target in the game, was not the only poor performer on the night, though, as Dan James’s display also left plenty to be desired.

Why Dan James should be dropped

The Wales international should be ruthlessly dropped by Farke for the FA Cup clash with Millwall on Saturday after an underwhelming showing on Wednesday night.

James played 86 minutes against the Sky Blues and failed to do enough to justify his continued inclusion in the starting line-up with a cup clash, which provides the manager with a chance to rotate his team, on the horizon.

The forward had fewer touches (28) than his goalkeeper Illan Meslier (44), which offers an insight into how little of an impact he had on the match, and was not directly involved in either of the goals.

As you can see in the table above, both James and Aaronson failed to offer much in the way of quality at the top end of the pitch for the Whites against Coventry.

The Welsh speedster missed his ‘big chance’ to find the back of the net and did not create a single opportunity for his teammates, whilst he also completed just 69% of his attempted passes.

These statistics show that James was as bad as Aaronson, who also struggled and was wasteful in possession, and that is why Farke should use the upcoming cup clash to ditch both of them from the XI.

Leeds must regret selling 20-goal ace who could have been their own Buendia

Leeds United dropped the ball when ditching this attacker prematurely.
