It wouldn’t be hyperbole to say that, so far, this summer has been one of Nottingham Forest’s most memorable for some time.

Nuno Espirito-Santo’s side haven’t done anything of much note on the pitch, but there has been plenty happening off of it.

For example, the club were embroiled in a dispute with Tottenham Hotspur, which they appear to have won, over Morgan Gibbs-White; they’ve secured their place in the Europa League, and to top it off, they’ve made several exciting signings.

However, there is no sign of the club slowing down, as, on top of closing in on James McAtee, they appear keen on someone who’d be a perfect teammate for him.

Forest target dream McAtee teammate

After securing the services of Igor Jesus, Dan Ndoye and Jair Cunha, it appears that the next player on Forest’s transfer list this summer is McAtee.

Transfer Focus

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

The Manchester City academy product impressed in spells last season, scoring seven goals in just 936 minutes of first-team action, and it looks like he’ll be making his way to the City Ground for just over £20m, with personal terms already agreed.

While that would be enough business in one window for many other teams, the Tricky Trees aim to make at least one more addition before the window closes next month.

At least that is according to a recent report from Sky Sports, which claims Nottingham Forest are still very interested in Omari Hutchinson.

The report has revealed that, while the Tricky Trees saw their previous offer of £35m rejected, they are still discussing the possibility of another bid.

If the club do go back in for the Englishman, they’ll have to stump up at least £40m, which is what he’s valued by Ipswich Town.

It could be a complicated and costly transfer to get over the line, but Hutchinson’s ability and potential make it one worth fighting for, especially as he’d be brilliant with McAtee.

Why Hutchinson would be a perfect teammate for McAtee

The first reason that Hutchinson would be an excellent teammate for McAtee at Forest is the simple fact that they’re already teammates for England’s U21.

The City gem has made 24 appearances for the team and captained them to glory at this summer’s European Championships.

For his part, the Ipswich ace has made ten appearances for the junior side, in which he’s produced six goal involvements and was a key part of the team’s success this summer, starting five of the six games, including the final.

Not only does this mean the pair will already have a great relationship and understanding of one another’s game prior to joining the Tricky Trees, but also that they can thrive in the same lineup together.

Another reason why the former Chelsea gem could end up being a perfect teammate for the Salford-born ace is his positional versatility.

The 21-year-old’s ability to play on either wing and in the middle of the park should give him plenty of opportunities to start alongside McAtee, and therefore further develop their relationship.

However, it also means that Nuno can play the Redhill-born dynamo in place of the 22-year-old when he needs to rest and therefore reduce the risk of injury.

Finally, while the “explosive” Ipswich talent, as dubbed by one Arsenal content creator, was somewhat limited by the team he was playing in last season, he still managed to produce five goal involvements in 31 league games.

Moreover, he showed glimpses of something quite special at times, like that goal against Manchester United.

Ultimately, while it won’t be cheap, Forest would be wise to sign Hutchinson alongside McAtee this summer, as the pair could develop a brilliant partnership at the City Ground.

O Fluminense viu a expectativa de vitória passar duas vezes nas suas mãos. Mas, mesmo após Germán Cano e Lima deixarem o Tricolor das Laranjeiras em vantagem em momentos distintos da partida deste domingo (11), pela décima rodada do Brasileirão, o Goiás arrancou o empate em 2 a 2 na Serrinha. Matheus Peixoto, de pênalti, e Alesson definiram o marcador.

+ Veja a tabela do Brasileirão

A equipe de Fernando Diniz viu a chance de regressar ao G4 da competição escapar. Os tricolores estão com 17 pontos, na quinta colocação. O Esmeraldino, por sua vez, segue no Z4, com oito pontos. O Fluminense volta a campo no dia 21, uma quarta-feira, para encarar o Atlético-MG no Maracanã, às 21h30. O Goiás encara o Vasco na quinta-feira, dia 22, em São Januário.

DESENCANOU!

O Fluminense precisou de pouco mais de um minuto para abrir caminho até o gol. Guga cobrou lateral e encontrou Lelê livre nas costas de Sander. O camisa 99 passou como quis, cruzou rasteiro e Germán Cano completou de carrinho para a rede. Foi o fim da seca de um mês (sete partidas) sem o argentino fazer o L imediatamente. A equipe das Laranjeiras manteve sua postura incisiva e viu Lelê como seu jogador mais perigoso. Além de tentar articular jogadas com Arias, Pirani e Martinelli, o atacante teve três oportunidades claras diante do goleiro Tadeu.

ESMERALDINO É TRAIÇOEIRO

Após um início no qual passou por apuros, em especial nas costas de Sander, o Goiás foi na reta final se lançando à frente, apostando em investidas com Palacios e Morelli e em lançamentos de Apodi. E um cochilo tricolor deu brecha para os donos da casa igualarem. Martinelli se enrolou diante de Palacios e perdeu a bola. Morelli encheu o pé, Fábio defendeu e, na sobra, Apodi caiu na área em dividida com Gabriel Pirani. O árbitro marcou pênalti. Matheus Peixoto cobrou no canto e igualou aos 45.

MOMENTO DE EUFORIA

O Tricolor das Laranjeiras voltou do intervalo com ânimo acelerado Arias esticou até Lima. O camisa 45 deixou dois adversários para trás e encheu o pé, colocando a equipe de novo em vantagem. Enquanto o Goiás lutava por uma reação, a equipe de Fernando Diniz continuava a achar brechas e quase ampliou. Guga chutou a bola e Tadeu se esticou para espalmar, em lance no qual a bola bateu na trave.

PRESSÃO ESMERALDINA E O EMPATE É DEFINIDO

A equipe de Emerson Ávila, no entanto, também estava com seu ímpeto mais acentuado na volta do intervalo. Enquanto os tricolores deixavam brechas pelos lados, o time da casa via Sander levar perigo em cruzamentos. Coube a Fábio se desdobrar para fazer defesas em duas conclusões de Matheus Peixoto. O camisa 1 do Fluminense ainda se desdobrou para salvar chance de Guilherme. Porém, a perseverança levou o Goiás ao empate. Sander cobrou escanteio para a área, Alesson subiu entre os zagueiros e mandou para a rede.

O Fluminense chegou a tentar ir à frente mas, à exceção de uma chance com David Braz, havia perdido a força de seu poderio ofensivo na reta final. Arias chegou a buscar nos últimos minutos aos trancos e barrancos. Mas, nitidamente sem fôlego diante do adversário no finzinho, o time de Fernando Diniz viu a vitória escapar.

كشف دين هويسن، نجم  ريال مدريد، عن النادي الذي يود أن ينهي معه مسيرته الكروية، وذلك بعد سنوات عديدة من الآن.

هويسن يعتبر بين أبرز اللاعبين في مركز قلب الدفاع على مستوى العالم، في ظل مستواه الرائع رفقة نادي ريال مدريد وكذلك مع بورنموث.

وأثبت هويسن نفسه بقوة مع بورنموث خلال الموسم الماضي، وحصل اللاعب الشاب على إشادات كبيرة مما جعله يشارك مع منتخب إسبانيا الأول ويصبح لاعبًا لا غنى عنه مع لاروخا.

وجعل مستوى هويسن مع بورنموث، ريال مدريد يتعاقد معه خلال صيف العام الحالي، مقابل حوالي 58 مليون يورو، حيث وضع اللاعب الشاب نفسه سريعًا في تشكيلة الميرنجي الأساسية.

ويرى هويسن في تصريحات إلى صحيفة “آس”، أن حلمه هو اللعب من جديد مع نادي مالاجا، وهو النادي الذي بدأ اللاعب الشاب معه مسيرته الكروية.

هويسن كان من ناشئي مالاجا، وذلك قبل التوقيع مع يوفنتوس ومنه إلى روما، قبل أن ينتقل إلى بورنموث وأخيرًا مع ريال مدريد.

وقال هويسن عن مالاجا: “كان حلمي أن أبدأ مسيرتي في لا روزاليدا، لكن حسناً، سيأتي الوقت المناسب للعب هناك وأود فعل ذلك، أقول دائماً إنه في نهاية مسيرتي، إذا استطعت وإذا أرادوني، وهو أمر لا أعرف كيف سيكون الوضع حينها فسيكون اللعب لمالاجا حلماً”.

واختتم هويسن: ”بالطبع سيكون هذا حلمًا لأنني من أشد مشجعي مالاجا، ليس بقدر ما كنت عليه من قبل، ما زلت من أشد مشجعي مالاجا لكن المشكلة هي أنني كنت في السابق مجنوناً تماماً بتشجيع هذا النادي، في ليلة عيد الميلاد، على سبيل المثال كنت أرتدي بدلة وألصق شعار مالاجا عليها وسيكون من أحلامي الاعتزال هنا”.

For a free-flowing team that confidently strolled to the Championship title last season, Daniel Farke’s Leeds United have unfortunately misplaced their shooting boots in the Premier League so far.

Indeed, the entertaining Whites fired home a devastating 95 strikes in total last campaign, as 100 points were also tallied up.

Now, from their opening three games up a division, they have just a paltry single goal to shout about, with a mixed bag of four points next to their name.

Farke will just be praying it’s early-season nerves holding his wasteful team back, with lots more expected of Dominic Calvert-Lewin as he acclimatises to his new environment at Elland Road, after becoming synonymous with ex-employers Everton.

Calvert-Lewin's early Leeds struggles

After lining up for the Toffees 273 times across nine seasons, Calvert-Lewin walked away from Merseyside this summer for a fresh opportunity in West Yorkshire.

Everton did try to tempt the ex-Sheffield United striker to stay with a new, extended deal, but Farke and Co proved to be a more enticing next step, as the 11-time England international now attempts to recapture his best form in front of goal after an injury-ravaged few campaigns at Goodison Park.

Leeds will hope they can move past these recurring niggles and reawaken a clinical monster, with journalist Patrick Boyland once labelling the attacker as “outstanding” when he was scoring goals for fun at the Toffees.

In total, an impressive 71 goals would come Calvert-Lewin’s way at Everton, with 16 of those coming during just one Premier League season.

Yet, the early signs at the moment suggest that the Sheffield-born forward is bereft of confidence in front of goal, having endured a nightmare day at the office against Sheffield Wednesday recently.

Staring down the barrel of an embarrassing exit in the EFL Cup to Sheffield Wednesday, Farke would throw on Calvert-Lewin for the final 30 minutes of action, hopeful that he could be the difference-maker on his debut run-out.

Instead, he depressingly fluffed his lines whenever the pressure was ramped up, with four big chances spurned, before he also missed a penalty kick to hand the Owls a shock Cup win.

Farke could well feel it’s necessary to keep Calvert-Lewin on his toes now, knowing he’s still a little rusty, with a rising starlet perhaps pushed up for more first-team chances.

In The Pipeline

Football FanCast’s In the Pipeline series aims to uncover the very best youth players in world football.

The Leeds prospect who could compete with Calvert-Lewin

Farke was the manager at the Elland Road helm who brought Archie Gray into the senior spotlight.

Gray would then go on to be a £40m sale to Tottenham Hotspur after seriously impressing throughout Leeds’ promotion-near miss.

Amazingly, the majority of his family members will be hoping for a similar rise for brother Harry Gray, who has already made waves in the first team picture.

With promotion all but wrapped up last season, the former Norwich City boss threw the 16-year-old sensation into the first-team mix, with a memorable eight-minute cameo handed to him against Stoke City in April.

It wasn’t just purely sentiment that gifted Gray a chance to strut his stuff with the likes of Manor Solomon and the other promotion heroes, however, with the teenager already tipped to have an immensely bright future in the game by analyst Ben Mattinson.

Indeed, he boldly stated that he is “one of England’s best prospects in his generation” after briefly lining up against the Potters.

The table above proves that Mattinson’s words aren’t just hyperbole either, with the 16-year-old already up to seven goals from ten games for the U21s at Premier League 2 level, away from collecting a lethal 15 strikes overall at youth level.

Calvert-Lewin could only dream of being in such a rich vein of goalscoring form himself, with a weak three strikes next to his name in the main Premier League last season.

Of course, just for his experience alone, Leeds will continue to try and get a tune out of their new marksman.

But, in the long run, do not rule out Gray making strides in the senior picture, having also been previously branded an “unbelievable” talent by former Leeds favourite Dominic Matteo.

Leeds now want international star who ripped Real Madrid defender to shreds

The Whites have sat up and taken notice of his performance.

BySean Markus Clifford Sep 8, 2025

They may have won last time out, but things aren’t looking great for West Ham United.

The East Londoners have lost two of their three Premier League games so far and sit just a point above the relegation zone.

Unsurprisingly, then, a number of managers have been linked with Graham Potter’s job, including Frank Lampard.

The former Chelsea legend may well be a good replacement, but if the Hammers really want to take a step forward, they should be bold and hire another legend of the game.

Why Graham Potter should be fired

It’s not even been a year since West Ham decided to hire Potter, and while some may argue it’s therefore too soon to fire him, the results would suggest otherwise.

The former Chelsea boss has managed 23 games since getting the job and somehow managed to win just six, losing 12 and drawing the other five.

In other words, he has an average of a point per game in East London, and on top of that, he’s not even delivered the slick, attacking and entertaining football fans hoped he would.

The Irons have scored 29 goals during his tenure, which is an average of 1.26 per game and conceded 36, which comes out to an average of 1.56 per game.

In contrast, his predecessor, Julen Lopetegui, averaged 1.18 points per match while he was in charge, and David Moyes before him averaged 1.49 points per match and won a European trophy.

Whichever way you look at it, Potter’s role as manager of West Ham United feels untenable, and it would surely be better for the club to look for his replacement now, rather than let this drag on.

With that said, there are better candidates than Lampard, including one legendary former player who is currently out of a job.

The manager West Ham should hire over Lampard

Now, there is every chance Lampard would be a good hire for West Ham, as for all the criticism he’s received over the years, he appears to be doing a good job with Coventry City, winning two and drawing two games this season.

However, with that said, the former Chelsea star doesn’t feel like a particularly ambitious target for the Hammers, unlike the manager they should be going after: Xavi.

Yes, the coach the Irons should be going all out for is none other than the Barcelona legend, and while some may scoff at such a target, he’s been out of work since leaving the Catalan side last year, and with the continual growth of the Premier League, why couldn’t the club make a tempting proposal?

Not only would the 45-year-old be a hugely exciting and image-changing hire, but he’s also a far better candidate than many others that have been linked in recent weeks, including Lampard.

For example, during his tenure with the Spanish giants, he oversaw 143 games, of which he won 91, drew 23 and lost just 29, averaging 2.07 points per game.

Moreover, “the best manager in the world,” as Joan Laporta dubbed him, made sure Barca played an attacking and exciting brand of football, which saw them score a whopping 280 goals, or 1.95 per game.

Finally, he is also a proven winner, overseeing the club’s first La Liga win in four years in the 22/23 season and winning the Spanish Super Cup in the same season.

Ultimately, it would be a difficult task, but West Ham should be doing all they can to convince Xavi that this is a project he should be taking up, as he’d be a monumental upgrade on Potter and a better option than Lampard.
