Jack Clarke came to the rescue again for Sunderland when the Black Cats travelled to Millwall last match, scoring a second-half penalty to level the scores at the Den late on and help his team pick up a share of the points.

Sunderland are experiencing a minor wobble in form in the division – Tony Mowbray's promotion hopefuls dropping to ninth recently with only one win from their last five second-tier encounters – but Clarke consistently remains the Black Cats hero even when games are slipping out of their grasp.

The former Tottenham winger has managed to hit double figures already for goals this campaign, scoring ten times whilst assisting one further goal from down the flanks.

Sunderland are overly reliant on the tricky forward to score crucial goals however, Dan Neil and Jobe Bellingham coming in next in the top scorer charts with an inferior three goals.

Mowbray will be currently anxious that Clarke's continued electric form for the Black Cats will see Premier League suitors reignite interest in the 23-year-old this January, alongside further transfer reports linking Trai Hume with a move away from the Stadium of Light to Leeds United unsettling the 60-year-old even more.

With Sunderland’s strikers still yet to get off the mark for the season, Tony Mowbray’s side could go all out and buy this striker in January.

Sunderland could well look inward for an immediate replacement if Clarke does depart in the upcoming transfer window, U21s star Ellis Taylor excellent in the Premier League 2 this campaign.

Ellis Taylor's statistics at youth level

Taylor – who has played in a number of positions at youth level for Sunderland – has amassed 12 goals from 47 starts for the U21s since making the step up from U18s football.

The 20-year-old has predominantly scored those goals playing down the left-hand side of the pitch, either as an outright winger or as an expansive full-back bombing down the pitch to help his team maraud forward.

In the Premier League 2 this season, Taylor has even slotted in at right-back from time to time – the versatile youngster even picked up an assist playing in this unorthodox role against Tottenham U21 in late October.

Adaptable at filling in wherever needed, Taylor could be a useful option to bring into the first team not just for the possibility of Clarke moving on but also for Hume exiting the building.

Ellis Taylor's style of play

This ability to play all over the pitch did confuse then-Hartlepool manager Keith Curle when the 20-year-old was loaned out to the Pools last season, Curle cutting Taylor's loan short owing to the fact the former Manchester City player turned manager didn't know where his best position was.

Mowbray will want to utilise his young player's versatility better, but the Black Cats will have to tie their multifaceted youngster down to a new deal sooner rather than later to keep him at the Stadium of Light – Taylor's deal with the club running out in June next year.

With Sunderland boasting a reputation now for nurturing youngsters properly and giving them a chance within the first-team fold, Taylor could slot into the line-up in the not-so-distant future for the Black Cats and fill gaps left behind by current stars rumoured to be on their way out this January.

After flirting with relegation last season, West Ham United have been one of the surprise packages of the season. David Moyes' side have simply picked up where they left off after their Europa Conference League win, and now sit just six points away from the Premier League's top four after nine games, despite a disappointing performance last time around.

Given that they lost Declan Rice to Arsenal in the summer transfer window, some may have expected the Hammers to once again struggle near the foot of the table, but their wise spending has put them on course for a comfortable campaign. That start however has not stopped those at the top of the club from being forced into preparing for life after Moyes.

David Moyes could leave West Ham in 2024

For some time, Moyes' future at West Ham was uncertain, as his job security was at risk after a run of disappointing league results in the previous campaign. Now, the idea of being without Moyes may leave some at the London Stadium panicking, such is the impressive turnaround that he has overseen this season and in Europe. All good things must come to an end, however, and the latest Moyes contract news suggests that the conclusion of his West Ham spell may well be nearing.

According to Pete O'Rourke of Football Insider, the West Ham board are poised to start doing due diligence on finding a replacement for their current manager, whose contract comes to an end next summer. Neither Moyes or the club are in a rush to begin talks over a new deal, with a decision set to come at the end of the season, according to reports.

If this is to be Moyes' final season at the club, then his focus will be ending on a high, and ensuring that whoever takes the position next has a squad capable of reaching new heights in the Premier League.

Potter, Hasenhuttl, Lampard or Conte could replace Moyes

Of course, it is worth noting that it is still early days when it comes to discussions over West Ham's next manager, given that Moyes will be in charge until at least next June. That said, a look at the current free agents provides some potential options for the Hammers. As things stand, Graham Potter, Ralph Hasenhuttl, Frank Lampard, and Antonio Conte are all available.

If that remains the case come next June, then West Ham will not be limited when it comes to options if Moyes leaves. Whoever takes the job next will need some time to adjust, that's for sure – Moyes has been in charge of the club since 2019 after his first stint came to an end in 2017, meaning that he has more than left his mark on the London Stadium.

Coming away with a European trophy, the former Everton manager should look back on his time at West Ham as a great success, and perhaps the most impressive spell of his managerial career. For now, though, he will undoubtedly be focused on the task at hand, which is guiding the Hammers to a comfortable campaign in the Premier League and another European berth.

ScorecardFor three seasons in a row Hampshire have escaped relegation from Division One by little more than a whisker, and Sam Northeast’s dogged 53 gave them a fighting chance of another great escape on a day that saw 19 wickets fall to seam at the Ageas Bowl.Going into last week’s game at New Road, Hampshire looked set to be sucked into the relegation mire yet again, but that win and their first-day efforts here will give them hope that the quagmire can be avoided without the same anxieties of previous years.Defeat here would almost certainly spell the death knell for Somerset’s Championship chances, but it would be foolish to write them off in this game just yet: the pitch may yet flatten out into a more typical Ageas Bowl surface, and with the deficit just 36, there is still every chance they can bat their way back into contention.One senses that few tears would be shed outside of the county borders if Hampshire were to end this season in the bottom two. Their Championship attendances are regularly among the lowest in the top flight, and bad blood lingers after their survival during the Durham debacle of 2016. Throw into the mix the fact that not a single ball has been delivered by an Englishman in their past three innings, and it is safe to conclude that Hampshire have won little support from neutrals since their return to Division One.While this effort was largely dictated by the efforts of Northeast, who took three hours over his first Championship fifty at this ground since his move from Kent, and the cosmopolitan bowling attack, their home-grown stalwart Jimmy Adams made an invaluable 31 in conditions that demanded grit and patience.Adams is in his final run of games ahead of his retirement at the end of the season, and while he has rarely flirted with England contention or grabbed national attention, he is a highly-respected character on the county circuit, and – like one other left-handed opener has this week – he demonstrated the value of leaving well and digging in as Somerset sought early wickets.At 68 for 6, Hampshire looked in danger of succumbing to a first-innings deficit, but Northeast and Liam Dawson combined to steer them into the lead and towards a useful position. Neither played a brilliant, fluent innings, but they picked off width from the change bowlers in a crucial stand of 56, the highest of the day.An hour into the day, there was no real sign of the carnage that was imminent. While Dale Steyn and Kyle Abbott both nipped the new ball around, that had come as little surprise, and Tom Abell’s decision to bat after winning the toss seemed perfectly reasonable.Going into the final run of games, Abbott’s efforts for the season were distinctly underwhelming: as of the start of August, he had 17 Championship wickets at 40.47 and an economy rate of 11.5 in a handful of Blast games.But he has 24 wickets at 10.63 in the last three-and-a-half first-class games, and looked like his old self here, lifting a few balls sharply off the pitch and finding considerable movement off the seam.After missing his length several times in his first over, which went for 17, Abbott found Marcus Trescothick’s edge, before removing James Hildreth, Steven Davies, Lewis Gregory, and Jamie Overton in a spell of four wickets for as many runs in as many overs than spanned the lunch interval; Gregory and Overton were unfortunate to get balls that hardly got up on the bounce.Ben Green, on his second Championship appearance, was the only Somerset batsman to look settled at the crease in his patient 26, and his wicket – bowled by an inswinger from the relentless Ian Holland – brought about a collapse of 8 for 42.Somerset may well feel aggrieved at the lack of scrutiny surrounding this pitch after the furore over the Taunton wicket in last week’s game. A decision as to whether they will be docked points for that pitch is expected to come before the start of next week’s game against Surrey, but by that stage their title hopes may well have evaporated. One Jamie Overton delivery here that trapped Tom Alsop lbw playing no shot suggested that the seam movement on offer occasionally exceeded reasonable levels despite the comparative silence from social media jurors.

• Ronaldo asked Solskjaer to bench him
• Was then angry when he did
• 'Loads of respect between us'

• WHAT HAPPENED?

  Solskjaer jumped at the opportunity to sign Ronaldo late in the summer of 2021, causing a wave of excitement and a social media frenzy. But he has admitted that Ronaldo's return did not go as planned and spoke about the player's volcanic personality.

• WHAT SOLSKJAER SAID

  “Cristiano – when you know him and speak to him, he wanted to play three out of four games, he realised he’s getting older as well. But when you leave him out once, he’s not happy!" Solskjaer told the podcast, brought to you by Sky Bet. "Part of signing Cristiano Ronaldo was getting that passion from him, but that did have its complications. You’ve got Mason Greenwood, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial, who can learn from Cristiano as he’s the best, the most disciplined and he’s been the best player in the world, and you think he’s going to help them. When he arrived at the club, he told me to start him for three games in a row, and then put me on the bench for the fourth game, but he’s so passionate so when I did that, he didn’t like it."

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Ronaldo had a stunning start to his return with United, scoring twice on his debut against Newcastle and snatching winners in the Champions League against Villarreal and Atalanta. But the team's form dipped and after heavy defeats by Leicester City, Liverpool, Manchester City and Watford, Solskjaer was sacked in November. The Norwegian added: “With the ball, with him in the team, it was no problem. Without him [pressing], we had to change a little bit the different roles we’d gotten used to. We were one of the highest pressing teams before [Ronaldo joined]. We let Dan James go when Cristiano came in, and they’re two different types of players. It was the right decision to make for me – it didn’t turn out to be the right one.”

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Despite the complicated side of Ronaldo's personality, Solskjaer stressed that there was a lot of mutual respect between them. “I had a good relationship with Cristiano and there’s loads of respect between us. I think he behaved really well in his disappointments when I was there," he added. Solskjaer's successor Erik ten Hag had more problems with Ronaldo, who left a match with Tottenham early and was subsequently suspended from the team. He left the club in November 2022 after lashing out at the club in an interview with Piers Morgan.

Mitchell Marsh is facing his second operation in a year and that leaves Surrey with problems with the county season only days away

ESPNcricinfo staff05-Apr-2018

Australian allrounder Mitch Marsh has withdrawn from his deal at Surrey and could miss Australia’s next Test campaign because of the need for ankle surgery.Marsh’s stock rose when he made two centuries during Australia’s 4-0 defeat of England, but his ankle problems intensified as the series developed.That means a withdrawal from his Surrey deal as well as missing Australia’s limited-overs tour of England and Ireland in June.Marsh hopes to be available for Australia’s away Test series against Pakistan in September / October and Surrey are clinging to the hope that he may play in the final stages of the Specsavers Championship.Marsh said: “I’ll be doing everything I can to get myself fully fit and hopefully join the side later in the season.”Marsh had been due to play for Surrey in all three formats, leaving them with a gap to fill with the Championship season only days away.It is his second operation in less than a year: he also underwent a shoulder operation after a tour of India.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is now targeting a new defensive reinforcement in the January transfer window, according to latest reports.

What's the latest news involving Manchester City?

According to The Sun, Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne wants to finish his career at the Etihad Stadium and will reject any big-money approaches from the Saudi Pro League in 2024.

The Belgium international reportedly has no interest in moving to the Middle East to continue his career amid a belief that he can perform at the elite level for some time to come. If De Bruyne does ever choose to leave the Premier League champions, it is believed that he would rather remain in Europe.

And in Manchester City news from the world of international football, England boss Gareth Southgate has confirmed that he has talked veteran defender Kyle Walker out of retiring from Three Lions duty on two separate occasions, as cited by The Guardian.

Southgate has spoken glowingly about Walker's impact in an England jersey, stating: "I’ve talked him [Walker] out of retirement twice. After the Euros and after the World Cup. I think he loves being here, he’s wanted to keep going and now he’s thinking about how many caps he can get. He’s critical to us. If we’re talking about world‑class players in their position in our team then he’s probably one of them."

Meanwhile, as per The Daily Star, Manchester City are believed to be 'confident' of fending off competition from Brighton & Hove Albion and Serie A giants Juventus to land Boca Juniors full-back Valentin Barco, who has an £8 million release clause that Guardiola is willing to activate.

Joan Patsy, who is Manchester City's South American-based sporting director, is driving the move for Barco and the Blues' knowledge and recruitment success from the continent has increased the appeal of completing a deal for the 19-year-old.

Who else are Manchester City keen to bring in?

According to The Sun, Manchester City are monitoring West Ham United defender Nayef Aguerd and could swoop for the Morocco international next summer.

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool are also keen on the 27-year-old and are now keen to strengthen their defence due to Virgil Van Dijk and Joel Matip being on the wrong side of 30 years old. Aguerd has also attracted interest from Saudi Arabia in recent times.

During his spell at the Hammers, Aguerd has become a hit among supporters and has featured 33 times in all competitions for West Ham United, registering three goals in the process, as per Transfermarkt.

Labelled "exceptional" by Gary Lineker on Match of The Day, via West Ham Zone, back in February, Aguerd has started 2023/24 in strong fashion and has completed 4.3 clearances per match in the Premier League.

In the Hammers' 2-1 victory over Luton Town at Kenilworth Road before the international break, Aguerd asserted his dominance at the heart of David Moyes' backline, winning six aerial duels, according to Sofascore.

Manchester City boss Guardiola is known for his talent ID and would be carrying out a shrewd bit of business by bringing Aguerd to the Etihad Stadium.
