Newcastle and Sunderland both want to sign "exceptional" Man Utd player

Newcastle United are reportedly interested in signing an "exceptional" Premier League player, but their huge rivals are also keen on snapping him up.

Newcastle transfer rumours

The Magpies have been linked with a number of players in the last few weeks, but as things stand, no incoming January transfer business has been completed.

Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is arguably a surprise target for Newcastle, with a recent report suggesting he could be an option to come in before the end of the month, while Atalanta ace Teun Koopmeiners is also reportedly wanted by them.

Young FC Nurnberg attacker Can Uzun has also been backed to make a move to St James' Park, perhaps being seen as more of a long-term acquisition, and Club Brugge starlet Antonio Nusa is another youngster who is of interest to them, as they rival Spurs for his signature.

Elsewhere, Morgan Gibbs-White is being looked at as a possible replacement for Miguel Amiron, should he move on, with the Englishman enjoying another impressive season for Nottingham Forest.

Newcastle want Omari Forson

According to a fresh claim from HITC, Newcastle want to sign Manchester United youngster Omari Forson, but rivals Sunderland are also interested.

"Manchester United are ‘surprised’ about their shock fight to keep Omari Forson now he has rejected a new contract, HITC Football understands, amid interest from Newcastle United.

"HITC Football understands that the North East trio of Middlesbrough, Newcastle United and Sunderland are among the clubs keen on the highly-rated teenager. But Manchester United have not given up their hopes of retaining Forson following his recent senior breakthrough."

At just 19 years of age, Forson is still such a young player, and the fact that United want him to sign a new deal at the club speaks volumes about his ceiling.

He has rejected an extension, however, as the report states, suggesting that he could be eyeing a move elsewhere. The teenage attacker has been lauded by United academy director Nick Cox, who has said of him in the past:

"On the pitch he was part of our successful FA Youth Cup-winning squad in 2022. Interestingly, Omari didn’t feature heavily in the cup run but showed exceptional resilience, and that’s a reminder that the journey isn’t always smooth and straightforward.

For Newcastle to acquire the services of a prized asset at one of their Premier League rivals would feel like a coup, not to mention that beating Sunderland to his signature would make it extra sweet.

The Magpies could make a surprise move.

ByTom Cunningham Jan 26, 2024

It is still easy to envisage Forson's stance at United changing, however, with a new contract eventually signed, but the Magpies need to be ruthless and bring him in as soon as possible, ensuring they plan for the future and bring in some of the top young talent around.

VPs do Flamengo demonstram apoio e convencem Landim a mudar de ideia sobre a reeleição presidencial

MatériaMais Notícias

Após Rodolfo Landim oficializar e informar a sua candidatura na próxima eleição presidencial do Flamengo, os atuais vice-presidentes Rodrigo Dunshee (Geral e Jurídico) e Paulo César Pereira (de Secretaria Geral) posicionaram-se em apoio ao atual mandatário nesta quinta-feira. Segundo os dirigentes, foram os próprios VPs e grupos de base do presidente que pediram e o convenceram a mudar de ideia e concorrer a eleição, indo contra ao que afirmou em 2018.

– O trabalho tem que continuar! Ainda muito a ser feito e mais taças a conquistar – publicou Paulo César Pereira, VP de Secretaria Geral do Flamengo.

Com sequência indefinida, Globo não pressionará por retorno do Paulistão

MatériaMais Notícias

A Globo não pretende interferir nos rumos do Paulistão 2021 e deixará as decisões para os órgãos responsáveis. O agravamento da situação da pandemia no país e, especialmente, no estado de São Paulo com prolongamento da fase emergencial, dificultou ainda mais o andamento da competição. A informação foi publicada inicialmente por Gabriel Vaquer.

Apesar do aumento das restrições não surpreender, dado o vertiginoso crescimento do número de casos e mortes, além da superlotação dos hospitais, a prorrogação da paralisação decepcionou o planejamento da FPF e de alguns clubes. Ainda segundo a reportagem, esse cenário de incertezas explica a ausência de qualquer menção aos Estaduais na chamada da programação da Globo do mês de abril.

Outro tópico levantado foi o incomodo da alta cúpula da CBF com a suspensão dos campeonatos, explicitado em vídeo vazado da reunião do presidente Rogério Caboclo com os dirigentes das principais equipes do futebol nacional. Citada como um dos motivos para a continuação dos jogos, a emissora entendeu ser importante ratificar que não influenciará nessas decisões.

– Como vem fazendo desde o início da pandemia há mais de um ano, a Globo segue respeitando as orientações dadas pelas autoridades competentes e acompanhando as decisões dos organizadores das competições. Entendemos que o momento é de cautela, e que a prioridade é a segurança de todos. Vamos seguir e respeitar todos os protocolos que forem definidos e decididos pelas entidades – afirmou em comunicado.

Em meio a indefinições, os clubes paulistas tem reunião marcada para próxima semana para avaliar o prosseguimento do Estadual. Alguns times temem que a Globo reduza ou suspenda cotas de televisão caso a paralisação se estenda por mais muito tempo.

Sem os direitos do Campeonato Carioca, o Paulistão tornou-se o trunfo do início de temporada da Globo. Agora a emissora aguarda as determinações do governo de São Paulo após as negociações do clubes com a Federação Paulista.

Pardew says serial winner could be open to replacing Pochettino at Chelsea

Former Crystal Palace and Newcastle boss Alan Pardew believes that a trophy-laden boss would gladly replace Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea if the west Londoners come calling.

Pochettino under pressure at Chelsea

Following their second humbling in as many games, this time at the hands of Gary O'Neil's Wolves, there is mounting pressure on Pochettino amid what has been another poor Premier League campaign.

"Embarrassing" – Paul Merson singles out £150k-p/w Chelsea man for showings

The Sky pundit doesn’t hold back.

ByEmilio Galantini Feb 3, 2024

The era of Clearlake Capital and Todd Boehly's takeover isn't exactly bringing on-field success with it, despite serious investment off the field, with Pochettino also failing to sheer the Chelsea ship to higher ground so far.

The west Londoners have now slumped into the bottom half of the Premier League table with every side above them boasting a better defensive record. Chelsea's lack of bite in the forward areas is also highlighted by the fact only West Ham, Wolves and Man United have scored fewer goals than them out of England's top-half sides.

There have been reports that Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali even wants to replace Pochettino with Xabi Alonso of Bayer Leverkusen, with the Blues boss also admitting his job is far from safe.

"Myself, also. I’m responsible for this ­situation. What we showed today was not good enough. We didn’t manage the ­situa­tion properly and of course no one can be safe. I don’t want to come here and say I am the best. We’re all responsible," said Pochettino after the defeat to Wolves.

“The players need to take responsibility like I take responsibility. At the moment we’re not matching the history of the club. That’s true. We need to accept it, be critical but we cannot give up. We’ll work hard to change. If it’s not working in this way, we need to move on and find a different solution.”

Another man who's been floated as a potential candidate is former manager Jose Mourinho, who enjoyed plenty of success there as a real fan favourite.

Pardew says Mourinho would love Chelsea return

Speaking to talkSPORT this week, via The Chelsea Chronicle, Pardew has claimed that Mourinho would jump at the chance to return to Chelsea after departing Roma in his recent post.

“Listen, Jose Mourinho won’t care about [the issues]. If he gets the phone call [from Chelsea], he’ll be walking back in," said Pardew.

There is little denying his success in winning major honours, with West Ham boss David Moyes calling him a "serial winner".

"I want to try and take it a couple of steps further, and I would refer back to the serial winner Jose Mourinho – who found winning this trophy so special for him and his football club," said Moyes on Mourinho's Conference League success at Roma.

"If ever I needed someone to show how hard it is, it would be Jose. He treated it as if it was so important, there's no way we're treating it any less than that."

Vijay Shankar hit by Jasprit Bumrah yorker, team says he's fit

The blow to the foot occurred on Wednesday, and the allrounder only trained sparingly on Thursday

Unfortunate that Vijay got hit by my yorker, but he’s okay – Bumrah

India are monitoring the fitness of Vijay Shankar closely after the allrounder was hit on the left foot by a yorker from Jasprit Bumrah during their training session on Wednesday. Vijay did not train full-tilt on Thursday, but Bumrah said Vijay was fit.On Sunday, Vijay played his first World Cup match, against Pakistan in Manchester. He scored an unbeaten run-a-ball 15 after coming in at No. 6, in the 46th over of India’s innings, and was impressive with the ball, taking a wicket with his first ball and bowling 5.2 overs to fill in for the injured Bhuvneshwar Kumar.With KL Rahul pushed up to open thanks to the injury that has ruled Shikhar Dhawan out of the World Cup, Vijay remains the frontrunner to occupy a middle-order slot in India’s remaining matches. His medium-fast bowling could also be handy in conditions with some help for the seamers.The blow to Vijay’s foot occurred midway through his batting session on Wednesday, while facing Bumrah. It was India’s first training session ahead of their game on Saturday against Afghanistan, and he had already had a bowl.Vijay Shankar is ecstatic after taking his first World Cup wicket•Getty Images

On Thursday, Vijay only ambled around training, watching the other players. Towards the end he bowled a few deliveries off a short run-up, but appeared to be walking gingerly.”We don’t want to injure the batsmen but but sometimes in nets when you bowl, nobody tells the batsmen not to hit,” Bumrah said, with a smile. “So it was not the aim [to hit Vijay]. Unfortunate he got hit, but he’s okay. He’s fine. But you have to do your preparation. So best preparation for me is to bowl to batsmen, so I try to do all of that. Sometimes you get hit but that’s part and parcel of the game.”India are not training on Friday. It remains to be seen what team they will play against Afghanistan. Dinesh Karthik could potentially replace Vijay if he were to be ruled out. Karthik batted extensively on Thursday, first facing throwdowns in the main ground and then joining the nets.Vijay will hope the injury is not serious, considering he already had to sit out India’s two warm-up games after being hit on the forearm while batting in the nets soon after the squad landed in England. The selectors had spoken of Vijay being the main contender for the No. 4 slot when they named the squad, but it eventually went to Rahul, who scored a century in the warm-up game against Bangladesh. Pushed up to open in the match against Pakistan, he also made a crucial half-century during an opening stand of 136 with Rohit Sharma.

Du Plessis signed on by Belfast Titans as supplementary player

Du Plessis will join a team that includes Shahid Afridi and JP Duminy, but his availability for the duration of the tournament is not certain

South Africa captain Faf du Plessis has been signed by Belfast Titans for the inaugural Euro T20 Slam that begins next month. Du Plessis was picked as a supplementary player, a week after the tournament’s player draft and will join a team that also includes Shahid Afridi, JP Duminy and Colin Ingram. Du Plessis has previously turned out for franchises in the Big Bash League, the Caribbean Premier League, the Indian Premier League, the Mzansi Super League and the Twenty20 Cup in England.However, with South Africa set to tour India in September and October, du Plessis may not be available for the whole tournament. The Euro T20 Slam, will be played between August 30 and September 22 in Ireland, Scotland and Netherlands.Du Plessis had a mixed World Cup. He was South Africa’s highest run-getter in the tournament, with 387 runs including a hundred and three fifties, but the team’s campaign never got off the ground. Early losses put them out of contention for a semi-final spot and they eventually finished in seventh place with three wins in the tournament.

Everton eyeing summer move to sign new Europa League winner for Sean Dyche

With Everton still facing the very real prospect of Premier League relegation, the focus has naturally been on those who could jump a sinking ship at Goodison Park, rather than those who may arrive in the summer. However, if the Toffees do avoid the drop come May, then they could reportedly move to sign a Europa League winner.

Everton transfer news

As much as Sean Dyche will be pleased with the form of Amadou Onana and Jarrad Branthwaite this season, that form could come at a cost for the former Burnley manager. According to reports, Arsenal are interested in signing Onana this summer and Everton, if they are relegated, may be forced to watch on as the Belgian departs.

Everton midfielder Amadou Onana.

The same can be said for Branthwaite, who has reportedly attracted the interest of Tottenham Hotspur and even European giants Real Madrid in what could be a dream move for the central defender. The sales could at least help the Toffees reinforce their squad though, and avoid another Financial Fair Play punishment whilst doing so. Those at Goodison Park have already been charged twice this season, with the first resulting in a 10-point deduction and the second punishment still awaiting.

Everton eyeing "unbelievable" player who could now be transfer listed

The Toffees look primed to make their move.

ByTom Cunningham Feb 15, 2024

Among the players who could come in potentially using money gained through sales is Filip Kostic. According to TuttoJuve, Everton are interested in signing Kostic this summer, beating West Ham United and clubs in Saudi Arabia to the winger's signature in the process. The deal wouldn't come with a hefty fee, either, with Juventus reportedly willing to accept deals between €10m to €15m (£9m to £13m).

Kostic, now 31 years of age, is a player with plenty of experience to add to Everton's left-hand side currently occupied by Dwight McNeil, having previously played for Eintracht Frankfurt, where he won the Europa League to earn Juventus' interest.

"Mentality monster" Kostic would boost Everton

If Everton avoid relegation this season, then their attention should turn towards a solid mid-table finish and beyond in the next campaign. After all, without their 10-point deduction this season, they would be sitting comfortably nine points clear of the dropzone. Adding a player who's performed on the European stage in the form of Kostic would certainly play a part in achieving that goal too.

The winger was handed plenty of praise during his Frankfurt days, including from former teammate Kevin Trapp, who labelled Kostic a "mentality monster". Whilst the 29-year-old has stuttered at times since joining Juventus, Kostic's stats at Frankfurt speak for themselves about just how good he can be when at his best.

A deal worth under £20m, Everton could even land an underrated bargain if they manage to fend off interest from the likes of West Ham and secure Kostic's signature this summer. First, of course, they must avoid relegation, but then they could turn their attention towards the Europa League-winning winger, making this one to watch.
