Aston Villa and NSWE have opened talks with a 21-year-old loanee over a new contract, according to a new report.

Aston Villa transfer news

The Midlands side have always been busy in transfer windows since Unai Emery arrived, and January could be no different, given the number of players they have been linked with in recent days and weeks. Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha is one player who has emerged on Villa’s radar, and he could be a viable option in the New Year, as the German side are open to offers in the region of £33-37 million.

Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Pierce Charles is also of interest to Villa, as Emery wants to freshen his goalkeeper department up by letting Robin Olsen leave in January and replacing him with a young player like Charles. Charles is not a regular in the Wednesday team, but Villa are willing to offer him their number two slot, as they have been impressed by his performances for Northern Ireland.

Emery will want to focus his attention on arrivals, but that could be difficult, as it’s been reported that Napoli are looking to sign Jhon Duran, as they want a “sidekick” for Romelu Lukaku. NSWE are not looking to sell the Colombia international, but an offer between £28-33 million could test their resolve, as talks with intermediaries have already begun.

Aston Villa open contract talks with 21 y/o star

According to Football Insider, Aston Villa have opened talks with Filip Marschall over a new contract. The 21-year-old has been at Villa Park for a long time, having come through their academy set-up.

Marschall has played for their under-18s, under-21s, and the first team in a game against Zrinjski Mostar in the UEFA Conference League last season. As well as playing at Villa, the goalkeeper has had a few loan spells, two of which have come at non-league side Gateshead, as well as MK Dons for the final six months of last season, and this season he is on a season-long loan deal at League Two Crewe Alexandra.

Marschall has impressed for Crewe, as he’s managed to keep eight clean sheets in all competitions. And despite being away from the club and still under contract until 2027, Villa have now opened talks over a new deal.

Marschall is highly rated at Villa, and despite Emiliano Martínez looking to continue his role as number one keeper for the time being, the Premier League side are keen to extend Marschall’s contract, as they look to secure his future. After handing Marschall his debut last season, Emery said it was important for him and others to get confidence.

“We tried to play with some players who are not playing regularly in the season because of injuries, like Jacob Ramsey and Alex Moreno, and with Leander Dendoncker, Filip Marschall, and Tommi O’Reilly as well. It’s important for them to get confidence and minutes. Tonight was perfect with the draw and result and perfect to give some of the players chances.”

Antes vaiado e criticado pelos torcedores, Igor vem se mostrando uma peça importante no sistema de São Paulo e já tinha sido elogiado por Ceni, que novamente o elogiou em entrevista coletiva.

-Foi bem hoje, saiu porque achei que estava um pouco desgastado. Ele participa muito da marcação, por mais que na base fosse muito mais meia do que volante. Ele tem essa força física. Ele oscila em alguns jogos, é verdade, não podemos negar. Faz alguns grandes jogos, às vezes não tão bons. Às vezes o time também não faz jogos tão bons, e ele também oscila. Minha parte foi dar força para ele no momento mais difícil, que foi quando saiu vaiado, e ter a coragem de mantê-lo – disse Ceni.

Rogério também destacou a força mental do camisa 26, que não se deixou abater pelas vaias e críticas.

– É um jogador de força, importante no sistema que a gente joga. Mas o maior mérito é dele, que é um menino que psicologicamente tem muita força, não se deixa abater, tem seus objetivos na vida. Acho que o maior mérito é dele, dos familiares – finalizou.

Nesta temporada, Igor Gomes tem 15 jogos, com duas assistências. Ele ainda busca o primeiro gol na temporada.

Aston Villa have now been offered the chance to sign a “fantastic” striker in a swap deal involving Jhon Duran, according to a report.

Villa set for a busy January

Villa could be set for a busy January transfer window, with Unai Emery said to be keen on making as many as three additions to his squad, and the manager is seemingly very keen on strengthening in attacking areas.

Borussia Dortmund forward Donyell Malen is one of the players who looks like he could be on his way to Villa Park, having now verbally agreed to join, in what could be a £25m deal.

However, Malen is not the only striker Emery is keen on signing, with the Villans now in talks over signing Vissel Kobe’s Taisei Miyashiro, who is out of contract at the end of this month, meaning he will be available on a free transfer.

One of this month’s main transfer sagas is the future of Randal Kolo Muani, with Paris Saint-Germain now willing to green light the striker’s departure, should they receive a fee of £50m.

However, the French club are now exploring the possibility of letting the Frenchman leave in a different kind of deal, having now offered Kolo Muani to Aston Villa, in a potential swap deal for Duran.

PSG have held talks with Villa over a move for Duran, and they have made it clear they would be willing to contemplate a swap deal. The Villans are believed to be interested in signing the forward, which indicates they could take the offer seriously, although it is unclear whether Duran would be keen on a deal.

The 21-year-old is currently more concerned about being the first-choice striker at Villa Park, which means he would consider leaving if Ollie Watkins remains the preferred option, but not to sit on the bench at a different club.

Duran needs to stay at Villa Park

Although signing Kolo Muani may be an attractive proposition for Villa, given that he has been lauded as “fantastic” by members of the media, it would be unwise to include their Colombian striker in any potential deal.

The starlet has scored 12 goals in all competitions for Emery’s side this season, despite often being utilised as a substitute, indicating that he could soon be ready to be the first-choice option ahead of Watkins.

If Villa are able to orchestrate a deal without sending the Medellin-born forward in the opposite direction, it could be a great bit of business, considering the France international has an impressive record in front of goal in Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga over the years.

Avishka Fernando and Kusal Perera remain unavailable for selection through injury

Andrew Fidel Fernando01-Jun-2022

Top-order batter Nuwanidu Fernando, and right-arm seamer Matheesha Pathirana have broken into Sri Lanka’s T20I squad, for the forthcoming series against Australia. Both have come into the side having impressed overseas – Nuwanidu (22) in England, and Pathirana (19) in the IPL.However, there are no places for allrounder Dhananajaya de Silva, fast bowler Lahiru Kumara, or wicketkeeper batters Dinesh Chandimal and Niroshand Dickwella. Kusal Mendis is likely to take the gloves.Making a return to the T20 squad, also, are seamer Kasun Rajitha and left-arm wristspinner Lakshan Sandakan. Legspinner Jeffrey Vandersay has, like Dickwella, been relegated to the standby players list. Avishka Fernando and Kusal Perera remain unavailable through injury. Neither have played a competitive match for months.ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Nuwanidu comes in on the back of his 126 not out off 67 balls, which he made for Sri Lanka’s Development XI, against Gloucestershire. The younger brother of Test seam bowler Vishwa, Nuwanidu has largely been picked on potential, having made only two other half-centuries in 20 T20 innings.So too Pathirana, who bowls with a Lasith Malinga-esque, slingy action, and had impressed in two outings for Chennai Super Kings, claiming 2 for 24 in one match, and 0 for 28 (in 3.4 overs) in the other. Pathirana had come in for particular praise by MS Dhoni, who had called him an “excellent death bowler” who had a big margin for error because he is difficult to hit in the air.Related

Pathirana is actually one of two round-arm bowlers in this Sri Lanka squad. Nuwan Thushara, who played two T20Is earlier in the year, is also in the squad. They are joined on the pace front by Dushmantha Chameera, Chamika Karunaratne, Lahiru Madushanka, and Rajitha, who recently made a successful return from injury in the Test format.On the spin front, Sri Lanka are led by Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana, who both had successful stints at the IPL. Hasaranga had a particularly excellent season, picking up 26 wickets at an economy rate of 7.54. He was one wicket off claiming the purple cap. Ramesh Mendis, Praveen Jayawickrama, and Sandakan are the other options.The batting is fairly straightforward. Chandimal and de Silva were omitted on account of their modest strike rates in this format. Danushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, and Nuwanidu Fernando are all in the running for top order spots, while Dasun Shanaka, Madushanka, and Karunaratne are the middle order options.The three-match series begins on June 7, at Khettarama (Colombo).Standby: Jeffrey Vandersay, Niroshan Dickwella

حدد هانز فليك مدرب برشلونة، نقطة قوة خصمه إنتر ميلان، مؤكدًا أن فريقه يخوض مباراة بمثابة نهائي في قبل نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا، وامتدح لاعبه لامين يامال، ووصفه بالموهبة التي تأتي كل 50 عامًا.

وتعادل برشلونة مع إنتر ميلان بثلاثة أهداف لمثلها في ذهاب نصف نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا، على ملعب “مونتجويك”.

وقال فليك في مؤتمره الصحفي بعد المباراة: “لم نبدأ المباراة بشكل جيد، استقبلنا هدفين، لكننا قاتلنا بقوة وعدنا إلى أجواء المباراة، كان الشوط الثاني مذهلاً، تبقى مباراة واحدة، وعلينا الفوز بها، أعتقد أن هذا يُناسب وصف -نهائي قبل النهائي!-“.

وأضاف: “عندما كنا متأخرين بهدفين نظيفين، كنت أعلم أن هذه مباراة نصف نهائي بين فريقين عظيمين، وأدركت أن خبرتهم الواسعة تتجلى بوضوح”.

وتابع: “إنهم بارعون في الكرات الثابتة أيضًا، لكن لامين أرشدنا إلى الطريق الصحيح، كان هدفه بتسجيله هدف التعادل 2-1 في غاية الأهمية”.

وأكمل فليك: “كان أداؤنا في نصف نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا رائعًا، كنا نعلم أن إنتر من أفضل الفرق في الكرات الثابتة في أوروبا، وهم أطول منا قامةً، لكن علينا الدفاع بشكل أفضل؛ علينا تقديم أداء أفضل الأسبوع المقبل، مررنا بموقف مشابه ضد أتلتيكو مدريد في نصف نهائي كأس الملك، وفزنا عليهم!”.

وعن حديثه للاعبيه بعد مباراة الليلة، أوضح: “اليوم، بعد المباراة، لم أتحدث إليهم، أحيانًا يكون من الأفضل أن ننام جميعًا ثم نتحدث، عدنا من تأخرنا بهدفين”.

وأشار: “شعر لامين ببعض الانزعاج أثناء الإحماء، لكننا شاهدناه ومنحناه الضوء الأخضر، كان لامين رائعًا معنا؛ صنع الكثير من الفرص، وسجل هدفنا الأول، إنه لاعب رائع، والجميع يعلم ذلك، في المباريات الكبيرة، نرى جودة هؤلاء اللاعبين”.

وواصل فليك الإشادة بلاعبه: “أنا سعيد جدًا لأن هذه الموهبة، التي تظهر كل 50 عامًا، تلعب لبرشلونة”.

وعن مباراة الثلاثاء الحاسمة، شدد: “في الأسبوع المقبل، لن يكتفي إنتر ميلان بالدفاع فحسب، بل عليهم أيضًا محاولة التسجيل، إنها مباراة نصف نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا، وتشارك فيها أفضل أربعة فرق في أوروبا”.

وأكد: “نلعب بأسلوب لعب وثقة، ونعرف ما يمكننا فعله، لدينا 90 دقيقة الأسبوع المقبل، ونأمل أن تكون كافية للوصول إلى النهائي، هذا هو هدفنا، وسنقاتل من أجله”.

وعن مدى تعافي روبرت ليفاندوفسكي وبالدي وجاهزيتهما للمواجهات القادمة، أوضح: “نأمل أن يعودوا، لكن علينا الانتظار، لا يمكننا فعل أي شيء عبثي، علينا الاستماع إلى الأطباء، كما فعلوا اليوم مع لامين”.

Tottenham Hotspur announced the hiring of Ange Postecoglou just over a year and a half ago, and since then, a lot has changed.

The North Londoners have gone from playing mind-numbingly boring football to being one of the most entertaining teams in Europe and, perhaps just as significant, sold the legendary Harry Kane.

However, while there have been some notable exits since the Australian took charge, there have also been some big signings as well, such as Micky van de Ven, Dominic Solanke and James Maddison.

The latter of those three has endured a mixed time in the capital thus far, and while he’s capable of producing some moments of magic, it might be worth looking for a rival, or even upgrade, and fortunately, the club have already been linked to just the player.

Maddison's Spurs career

Spurs signed Maddison from a recently relegated Leicester City in the summer of 2023 for about £40m, and while he was part of a team that went down, it certainly wasn’t on him.

In that final campaign with the Foxes, he managed to rack up an impressive tally of ten goals and nine assists in 32 appearances, so his move to N17 was more than justified.

In fact, the Coventry-born maestro hit the ground running in North London and racked up three goals and five assists in his first ten league games for the team, playing a significant role in Postecoglou’s sensational start to life in England.

However, in the 11th game against Chelsea, he picked up an injury that saw him sidelined until late January, and when he came back, he was significantly less effective.

For example, in his final 17 league appearances, the 28-year-old scored a single goal and provided just four assists, which also played a role in the team’s slide down the table.

This season has been mixed for the Englishman, as while he has been sublime at moments and has a healthy tally of eight goals and five assists, he’s found himself out of the team on more than a handful of occasions, suggesting that his place in the squad is less than assured.

So, if the former Leicester City star cannot be relied upon to regularly produce and has found himself out of the starting lineup several times already this season, it might make sense for Spurs to look for an upgrade in the market and the good news on that front, is that they have already been linked with one in the last month or so.

The Serie A star who could replace Maddison

To get straight to the point, the player in question is AC Milan star Tijjani Reijnders, who was linked with a potential £50m move to Spurs last month, and while that sounds like a lot of money, it would be money well spent.

For example, despite playing slightly deeper than Maddison at the moment, the Dutch international’s output has been almost as good this season.

He has scored nine goals and provided three assists in 25 games, and were he moved slightly further up the pitch, we wouldn’t be surprised to see those numbers get even better.

However, to understand why analyst Ben Mattinson described the 26-year-old as one of the “top five midfielders this season”, we need to look at his underlying numbers.

According to FBref, which compares players across Europe’s top five leagues, the Champions League and Europa League, the Milan star sits in the top 1% of midfielders for carries into the final third and passes blocked, the top 3% for successful take-ons, the top 4% for non-penalty goals and shots on target, the top 5% for carries into the penalty area and more, all per 90.

Furthermore, it’s not just at the club level that the “world-class” midfielder, dubbed by commentator Matteo Bonetti, is thriving, as he’s now won 20 caps for the Netherlands and made it to the semi-finals of the European Championships before going out at the hands of England.

Ultimately, Maddison is an incredibly talented footballer, but he tailed off towards the end of last season, and this year, he seems unable to hold down a place in the team.

Therefore, it makes sense to sign an upgrade this year, and while he will cost a pretty penny, Reijnders seems like a brilliant option.

Na abertura da sexta rodada da Taça Guanabara Sub-20, o Vasco chegou a ficar atrás por dois gols, mas virou sobre o Flamengo e venceu por 3 a 2, nesta sexta-feira, na Gávea.Marlon, Eguinaldo e Juan marcaram os gols do triunfo cruz-maltino, enquanto Mateusão anotou os dois iniciais para o lado rubro-negro.

O Flamengo abriu o plcar com 20 minutos e, aos 24, ampliou a vantagem. Mateusão marcou ao recuperar uma bola no ataque, tocando na saída do goleiro, e um outro em que deu uma linda cavada para encobrir o goleiroCadu.

Captain pleased with adaptation to tricky Lord’s wicket as England square the series

Andrew Miller14-Jul-2022

Jos Buttler admitted that England’s batting still isn’t quite firing on all cylinders, but insisted that the positivity they had shown on another complex Lord’s surface made a crucial difference in the final analysis, as they successfully defended a sub-par total of 246 thanks to a record-breaking six-for from Reece Topley.England’s 100-run victory came just 48 hours after they had, in Buttler’s words, “come third in a two-horse race” with a ten-wicket trouncing in Tuesday’s first ODI at the Kia Oval. And given the ominous power that India’s batting had displayed during their 2-1 series win in the preceding T20Is, England seemed destined for a similar result when they slid to 148 for 6 after once again being asked to bat first.This time, however, Moeen Ali and David Willey produced some meaningful resistance with 47 and 41 respectively to hoist the team just past the memorable total of 241 – the score with which England and New Zealand had tied the World Cup final, on this very ground three years to the day earlier.”We play at Lord’s quite a lot and it’s never a brilliant batting wicket, never completely straightforward,” Buttler said. “It’s always got that bit of a feel as well as a batsman. It felt a bit like the World Cup final wicket, not completely straightforward and that creates interesting games of cricket as well.”If you held a length, it was very tough to score. It felt like you could beat the bat and create wickets, so it was a different style of ODI cricket to that we have sometimes seen over the last few years in England, when we’ve played on excellent wickets and it’s been high-scoring.”Only a few weeks have passed since England posted their third consecutive 50-over world record by racking up 498 for 4 against the Netherlands at Amstelveen. The challenge of facing down an attack led by Jasprit Bumrah, the No.1-ranked ODI bowler, is completely different, of course, but having called for his team to be less “timid” after the T20I loss, Buttler was pleased with their response to a calamitous display at The Oval, where Bumrah’s career-best 6 for 19 had routed them for 110.Related

“It wasn’t in my eyes really reckless batting [at The Oval], it was fantastic bowling that took the edges, and the catches were taken behind the wicket,” Buttler said. “Today wasn’t a completely straightforward wicket either. But that’s the challenge. We’ve all become accustomed to some very flat wickets in ODI cricket, and seeing batsmen dominate, and I think we’ve just seen two different styles of cricket due to the pitches we’ve played on.”Today the positivity we showed with the bat is actually what enabled us to get up to the score that we did,” he added. “I think we can bat better. Absolutely we can, but instead of playing it safe and allowing the bowlers to just settle in on a length, we actually were proactive and played some positive shots, which I think earned us a few extra runs than potentially we may have got.”That’s something we’ve tried to do as a team for a long time, play with a certain level of intensity and positivity when we bat. We could have got more, but we know that there’s a hell of a lot of experience in the batting line-up, and I have so much trust in whoever’s in the middle, to make the right call at the time, and the whole dressing room will always back those guys.”It’s always been a real strength of the team that we have a lot of allrounders, a lot of our bowlers are very capable batsman. So that’s been a theme for the team, it allows us to be more positive because we know we bat deep into our team.”We felt like we were a few short at the halfway stage, but very much in the game if we could take early wickets, and I thought we bowled outstandingly well, the guys set the tone at the top and we all followed.”
