وبحسب التقرير أن مانشستر يونايتد يراقب وضع، ماتياس دي ليخت، مع بايرن ميونخ، لأن إريك تين هاج يعلم قدرات اللاعب جيدًا منذ أن كان مدربه في أياكس أمستردام.

وزعمت الشبكة الشهيرة أن بايرن ميونخ ليس لديه أي مانع في رحيل دي ليخت عن صفوف الفريق إذا جاء عرض مناسب، مع اقتراب هيروكي إيتو على التوقيع مع البافاري.

مع رغبة بايرن ميونخ في التعاقد مع مدافع باير ليفركوزن، جوناثان تاه، بعد تألقه في الموسم الماضي ومساهمته في فوز فريقه بلقبي الدوري والكأس في ألمانيا.

في الوقت الحالي، دي ليخت لا يركز إلا في كأس أمم أوروبا، يورو 2024، مع منتخب هولندا تحت قيادة المدرب، رونالد كومان.

Nottinghamshire put on brave face despite depleted roster

They have made the leap back up to Division One in the County Championship but the road to consolidating their place, let alone contesting the title, is not lacking in hurdles

Nottinghamshire have made the leap back up to Division One in the County Championship but the road to consolidating their place, let alone contesting the title, is not lacking in hurdles.Talented all-rounder Paul Coughlin is out with a shoulder injury for at least four months, making it unlikely he will play white-ball cricket for his new club this season. After his highly anticipated signing from Durham in September, Coughlin dislocated his shoulder in the outfield while playing for England Lions in the West Indies and required surgery. The loss of his seam bowling is a blow but it is, perhaps, in the batting stakes where Nottinghamshire may feel the squeeze.The Trent Bridge departure lounge was busy in 2018; those moving on included captain Chris Read, Brett Hutton, Michael Lumb and Brendan Taylor. More recently, Alex Hales signed a white-ball only contract.Nottinghamshire were unsuccessful in securing several batsmen, including Sam Northeast, in the off-season and they remain in the market should someone suitable becomes available. Head coach Peter Moores will look to the experience of new signing Chris Nash and emerging players to push for success in 2018, but he knows any injuries will leave the cupboard bare.”Our staff is actually smaller than we’d like, if I’m honest,” Moores said. “And so, it probably lacks a little bit of depth but it’s a great chance for some of the youngsters and that’s just the way it’s gone.”In some ways, we are waiting for the right sort of player to come along. We’ve been in the market for two or three players in the winter, didn’t get them. But that’s what happens. We’re fine, we’re happy where we are, but if that right player comes along we’d be interested in signing somebody.”Samit Patel struck twice in the first over•PCB/PSL

Moores is philosophical and supportive of Hales’ decision to eschew first-class cricket, coming in the same week Adil Rashid signed an exclusive white-ball deal with Yorkshire.”I understand it. I really do,” Moores said. “Alex had thought long and hard about it. It came across to some people that he made a snap decision.”But he’d made that decision, told us about it, thought long and hard about it before Adil Rashid announced it. He’s pretty clear in his goals. He wants to get better at white-ball cricket, he thinks that’s his real strength. He wants to become one of the best players in the world. He’s got areas he needs to work at and he’s got to use the little gaps in between to work on that.”Samit Patel is one Notts player keen to take on more responsibility. After playing a key role in the side’s promotion, the Royal London One-Day title and the Natwest T20 Blast trophy, the allrounder has returned to England with a few new tricks after some “eye-opening” training sessions with Saeed Ajmal and PSL franchise Islamabad United.Patel has never worked with a specialist spin-bowling coach and, while he was naturally coy about the specifics of Ajmal’s advice, he revealed he has made some tweaks and is focusing more on what is happening at the other end of the pitch.”The way he coaches and comes across as a person is really good and just tactically he is really smart,” Patel said. “There’s not too much [difference] as a finger spinner that you’re going to get but subtle variations in actions and things. Not big things but things that I wasn’t aware about on what makes things happen at the other end instead of short term at the crease.”It’s what happens down at the other end that makes [a wicket] happen if that kind of makes sense. Where it lands and how it comes off the pitch. So there’s a little bit of a difference in what happens this year compared to previous years.”The 33-year-old has made no secret of his desire to play for England but he has added a new goal to his list: he wants to play until he reaches 40.”It’s just a figure in my head that I thought it’d be a good age to play until and if the body allows to be honest,” Patel said. “But at the minute I think it’s pretty realistic.”

Corinthians negocia o retorno do lateral-esquerdo Fábio Santos, que deve rescindir com o Atlético-MG

MatériaMais Notícias

O Corinthians está perto de acertar o retorno de um dos ídolos recentes do clube. Trata-se de Fábio Santos que, aos 35 anos, deve rescindir contrato com o Atlético-MG nos próximos dias para vestir a camisa do Timão. A informação foi divulgada primeiramente por Benjamin Back e confirmada pelo LANCE!.

Com vínculo até o fim deste ano com o Galo, o lateral-esquerdo recebeu uma proposta do Corinthians para integrar novamente o elenco do Parque São Jorge. O negócio interessou ao atleta, que já encaminhou a saída de Minas Gerais e deve ser anunciado pelo novo clube até o início da próxima semana.

Pelo negócio o Corinthians não pagará nada ao Atlético-MG, Fábio chega apenas pelo salário que, segundo apurou o LANCE!, gira em torno de R$ 280 mil por mês, bem inferior ao teto do clube. O contrato será assinado até dezembro de 2021 e a contratação tem o aval do novo técnico Vagner Mancini.

Dessa forma, quem está de saída é o também lateral-esquerdo Sidcley, que chegou por empréstimo junto ao Dínamo de Kiev-UCR no início desta temporada e não conseguiu se firmar desde então. Seu contrato vai até o fim deste ano e não será prorrogado, nem será exercida a opção de compra.

No Atlético-MG, Fábio Santos era reserva de Guilherme Arana, também ex-corintiano. Nesta temporada ele atuou em 13 partidas oficiais e marcou dois gols. Seu último jogo foi em 10 de outubro, quando entrou aos 34 minutos do segundo tempo, na vitória do Galo por 3 a 0 sobre o Goiás, pelo Brasileirão.

Pelo Corinthians, Fábio atuou entre 2011 e 2015, quando conquistou cinco títulos, entre eles os mais importantes da história do clube, como a Libertadores de 2012 e o Mundial de Clubes de 2012. Além disso, levantou o Brasileirão-2011, o Paulistão-2013, e a Recopa Sul-Americana-2013.

ديشامب: افنقدنا اللمسة الأخيرة أمام هولندا.. ومبابي لا يقارن بأي لاعب

علق ديديه ديشامب المدير الفني لمنتخب فرنسا، على غياب كيليان مبابي في التعادل أمام هولندا خلال بطولة يورو 2024.

وغاب مبابي عن التعادل السلبي بين منتخب هولندا وفرنسا في الجولة الثانية من المجموعة الرابعة ببطولة يورو 2024، بسبب الإصابة التي تعرض لها ضد النمسا.

وقال ديشامب في تصريحاته لوسائل الإعلام عقب المباراة: “افتقدنا اللمسة الأخيرة أمام هولندا، لقد لعبوا بحذر كبير، لكننا كنا قادرون على التسجيل لولا اهدار الفرص في اللحظات الأخيرة”.

وأضاف: “لم نحصل على وقت أكبر للتعافي، لقد حصل منتخب هولندا على 36 ساعة أكثر من فرنسا، ومع ذلك كنا الأفضل في معظم فترات المباراة”.

وعند سؤاله حول غياب مبابي ومدى تأثيره على الفريق، أجاب: “غياب مبابي قد يكون له تأثير، لأن كيليان يبقى كما هو، لاعب لا يقارن بأي لاعب”.

وأشاد بـ نجولو كاننتي رجل المباراة: “لديه قدرة استثنائية على أن يفرض نفسه على أرض الملعب، أنا أحبه كثيرًا، إنه لاعب مميز ويعطينا العديد من الخيارات، ويمكنكم رؤية ما يفعله في كل مباراة”.

واختتم: “عدم مشاركة باركولا يعود إلى أنه لم يلعب في أي بطولة كبيرة من قبل، ولذلك لم يكن ممكنًا أن نخسره في مباراة مثل هذه. لكنه يقوم بعمل رائع في التدريبات”.

Sunderland: Black Cats star has seen his value rise by 5,032%

Sunderland sporting director Kristjaan Speakman and head coach Tony Mowbray have built up a squad that is full of talented young prospects on Wearside.

The Black Cats have placed a clear focus on bringing in players who have the potential to develop and increase in value over the last few years.

They have tried to snap up young talents with upside in the hope that they will be able to improve under the manager and coaching staff's work on the training pitch and in matches in order to sell them on for a significant profit further down the line.

This was on full display over the summer transfer window as the club sold Ross Stewart to Championship rivals Southampton for a reported £12m package, which includes £8m up front.

They had signed him from Scottish side Ross County for a reported fee of £300k in January of 2021 and this means that his value soared by a whopping 3,900% in less than three years at the Stadium of Light.

Sunderland will now be looking at their current crop of players to see who the next major sale could be and one player who is quickly moving up on the list is central midfielder Pierre Ekwah.

How much was Ekwah worth at West Ham?

The French prospect arrived from West Ham United during the January transfer window and FootballTransfers placed an Expected Transfer Value (xTV) of €65k (£52k) on his head at the time of the move.

Ekwah, who had joined the Hammers from Chelsea in 2021, caught the eye with his performances for the Premier League side at youth level and convinced the Black Cats that he was ready to make the step up to first-team level.

The midfield maestro racked up 39 appearances for West Ham's U21 team throughout his time at the London Stadium and was able to showcase his ability in and out of possession.

Sunderland midfielder Pierre Ekwah.

He produced nine goals and three assists in those matches and plundered an impressive five goals in 11 Premier League 2 outings during the first half of the 2022/23 campaign before his move to the Stadium of Light.

This showed that the central midfielder had the potential to offer an attacking threat from a midfield position as he has a knack for bursting forward to chip in with goal contributions at the top end of the pitch.

Ekwah also displayed his quality against senior opposition in three EFL Trophy appearances for West Ham in the first half of last season.

He averaged a Sofascore rating of 7.00 across three matches in the competition and contributed with two tackles and interceptions and two key passes per game, to go along with a duel success rate of 54%.

This showed, albeit in a small sample size, that the French talent could hold his own, physically, against professional players, and had the ability to provide quality on the ball by creating chances for his teammates.

How many appearances has Ekwah made for Sunderland?

The 21-year-old dynamo has made 25 first-team appearances for Sunderland since he made the move from West Ham earlier this year and has established himself as a regular for Mowbray as it stands.

However, it has not been an easy ride for the French talent throughout the year as he did not hit the ground running during the second half of the 2022/23 campaign.

Sunderland midfielder Pierre Ekwah.

It was his first experience of regular league football and Ekwah's performances lacked consistency. He averaged an unimpressive Sofascore rating of 6.57 across 14 Championship matches, five of which came as starts.

22 of his teammates averaged higher Sofascore ratings throughout the season and this suggests that he was considerably far away from being one of Mowbray's best performers last term.

However, the Sunderland head coach placed his faith in Ekwah at the start of the 2023/24 campaign and it is currently paying off for the former Blackburn boss.

The France U20 international, who was hailed as "vital" to the side by journalist Josh Bunting, has averaged a terrific Sofascore rating of 7.27 across six starts in the Championship, which is the fifth-best score within the squad.

This shows that he has gone from being one of the least impressive performers on Wearside to the point where the talented Frenchman is now one of the leading lights for the Black Cats as it stands.

Ekwah, who scored two goals in the 5-0 win over Southampton earlier this month, has caught the eye with his reliable passing and strong defensive play. He has completed 90% of his attempted passes and made three tackles and interceptions per game, as per Sofascore, which is the second-most of any player within the squad.

How much is Ekwah worth now?

At the time of writing (28/09/2023), FootballTransfers has the central midfielder's xTV at €3.4m (£2.9m) and this shows that his market value has rocketed up over the course of the year.

His xTV has increased by a staggering 5,032% from the initial €65k (£56.5k) that he was valued at when Sunderland swooped to sign him from West Ham at the start of the year.

Therefore, Mowbray has struck gold with the impressive youngster as he has developed into an impressive Championship midfield option for the head coach and his market value has reflected that.

The Black Cats boss has been able to turn Ekwah from an unproven U21 performer for the Hammers into a key cog in his first-team set-up at the Stadium of Light in less than a year, which is a credit to his coaching and management skills alongside the player's adaptability and willingness to learn.

Hopefully, he can continue to go from strength to strength and increase his xTV even further over the coming months and years. If his performances continue to catch the eye in the Championship then he could end up being the next Stewart to rake in a huge profit for the club if he attracts attention from elsewhere.

However, Sunderland may prefer him to be part of a promotion-winning side so that they can afford to keep hold of their top talents and then progress to the next level in the Premier League.

Returning Royals face Sunrisers' bowling might

One returning franchise is already dominating the conversation this IPL, and now it’s time for the other to come up on stage and say what’s up

Agarkar: Sunrisers need Pandey, Pathan, Hooda to step up

Big pictureOne returning franchise is already dominating the conversation this IPL, and now it’s time for the other to come up on stage and say what’s up. But before all that, Rajasthan Royals might just want to check that Chennai Super Kings haven’t used up all of the re-beginners’ luck. The only player they retained ahead of the auction is no longer available. Their biggest buy – worth USD 1.9 million – is nursing a back injury. And their new captain is a bit of a rookie.Of course, Steven Smith’s loss is more than compensated by the fact that their opposition Sunrisers Hyderabad can’t play David Warner. Ben Stokes forgets pain when his team needs him; two weeks ago, he batted for longer than the length of a full T20 game. And Ajinkya Rahane has been India’s vice-captain for a good while. He is also intimately familiar with the Royals system. So they should be feeling pretty good about themselves. At least until Rashid Khan does his thing. He shattered the record for fastest to 100 ODI wickets recently and considering an unknown wristspinner is already making headlines, expect more magic. Bowling has always been Sunrisers’ strength in the IPL. This season, it it looks all the more important.Rashid Khan has bowled a total of 39 balls to Royals’ batsmen, but has dismissed them thrice while conceding less than a run a ball•ESPNcricinfo Ltd

The likely XIsSunrisers Hyderabad: 1 Alex Hales, 2 Shikhar Dhawan, 3 Kane Williamson (capt), 4 Manish Pandey, 5 Shakib Al Hasan, 6 Deepak Hooda, 7 Wriddhiman Saha (wk), 8 Rashid Khan, 9 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 10 Siddarth Kaul, 11 Sandeep SharmaRajasthan Royals: 1 Ajinkya Rahane (capt), 2 Rahul Tripathi, 3 Sanju Samson (wk), 4 Heinrich Klaasen, 5 Ben Stokes, 6 Jos Buttler, 7 Stuart Binny, 8 Ankit Sharma/K Gowtham, 9 Jofra Archer, 10 Dhawal Kulkarni, 11 Jaydev UnadkatStrategy punt Sunrisers should forget about the theory of not bowling into a left-hander’s hitting arc and use Rashid against Stokes. The head-to-head in T20 cricket reads seven balls, nine runs and two wickets. 1:49

Power-packed batting, plenty of death bowlers

Stats that matter Rahane will be wary of the bowlers Sunrisers have. He has only made 191 runs off 208 balls against them. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, in particular, has taken him out six times – three times more than anyone else in the IPL. Kane Williamson has a T20 strike rate of 192 against the bowlers in the Royals roster. He’s made 73 runs off 38 balls, losing his wicket only once. Forty-two of them have come off Stokes, at a strike-rate of 210. Alex Hales has lost his wicket to spinners 20 times in 41 innings for England. He’s especially vulnerable to the left-arm orthodox variety – 12 dismissals. Ankit Sharma might want to pass that on to the Royals think tank. Between Bhuvneshwar, Rashid and Shakib, Sunrisers can count on 12 good overs. And in Bhuvneshwar, they have an excellent death bowler – 43 wickets in 71.1 overs. But who will partner him? Shakib, Rashid and Sandeep Sharma have been conceding at least nine an over in this stage of an innings since IPL 2015. Siddharth Kaul might be asked to strap on that headband again (economy rate 8.3, including 11 wickets in 10.4 overs) Fantasy picks Try the new kid. The cult of Jofra Archer has grown past English shores even though he’s not played a single game of senior international cricket. The 23-year-old fast bowler is impressive at any stage of the innings, with a T20 economy-rate of 8 in the Powerplay (1-6), 7.05 in the middle overs (7-15) and 8.42 at the death (16-20) Rashid Khan. Gives instant satisfaction. A Powerplay expert with 12 wickets, he also gives away only 6.5 runs per over in this stage of an IPL innings. Quotes”He’s exciting, 23 years of age, 6 foot 8, can bowl up to 150. He’s a real exciting talent. I was thrilled to be able to pick him up at the auction because one of the things in T20 cricket is having something different.”

Do sonho da Série A à beira da falência: entenda o imbróglio judicial entre Icasa e CBF que dura seis anos

MatériaMais Notícias

Se há sete anos o Icasa fazia uma temporada histórica e ficava perto de garantir o acesso inédito à elite do futebol brasileiro, atualmente a situação é bem diferente. Sem divisão nacional e na Série B do Campeonato Cearense desde 2017,o Verdão do Cariri também vive grave crise financeira. E em meio a esse cenário caótico, o Icasa vê uma luz no fim do túnel: um processo milionário contra a CBF, que deve render cerca de R$ 18 milhõesaos cofres do clube.

O motivo? Um erro no sistema de registro de atletas da CBF autorizou o Figueirense a escalar o volante Luan Nidezielski de forma irregular na Série B de 2013. No fim do campeonato, o clube catarinense terminou em 4º lugar, com um ponto a mais que o Icasa, 5º colocado. No início de 2014, o Verdão do Cariri entrou com uma liminar no STJD para a perda de pontos do Figueirense, que garantiria o acesso do clube cearense à Série A do Brasileirão.

No entanto, o STJD considerou a infração prescrita e arquivou o caso.Em entrevista ao LANCE!, o advogado especialista em direito desportivo Victor Amado explicou que esse procedimento ocorreu porque a denúncia por parte do Icasa foi feita fora do prazo de 30 dias previsto no Código Brasileiro de Justiça Desportiva.

– De acordo com o Artigo 165, a informação tem que ser colhida no STJD no prazo de 30 dias. Como a notícia chegou ao fim do campeonato, transcorreu-se esse prazo, não havendo mais possibilidade de a procuradoria colocar a infração cometida pelo Figueirense para ser julgada no tribunal do STJD.

Dessa forma, gerou-se o direito de o Icasa entrar na vara cível para ser ressarcido pelo erro confesso da CBF. Em agosto de 2014, o clube recorreu à Justiça Comum, cobrando R$ 33 milhões em indenização da entidade, com a prerrogativa da perda de uma chance.

-A perda de chance do Icasa é muito factível porque há um regulamento que ampara em casos de escalações irregulares e há uma confissão de equívoco da CBF. Essa confissão é uma prova robusta que não deixa dúvidas que o Icasa não está envolvido nesse erro. Ele é exclusivo da CBF e isso impediu o clube de participar da Série A – concluiu o advogado Victor Amado.

No capítulo mais recente da história, o Icasa venceu a CBF na 2ª instância da 6ª Câmara Cível do Tribunal de Justiça do Rio de Janeiro, no último dia 30 de setembro. Assim, a entidade foi condenada a pagar ao clube um valor de aproximadamente R$ 18 milhões, entre danos materiais e morais.A CBF ainda pode recorrer ao Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ),mas procurada pela reportagem, a assessoria da confederação não se posicionou sobre o caso.

Em conversa aoLANCE!, o presidente do Icasa, França Bezerra, considerou esse montante de R$ 18 milhões importante para a sobrevivência do clube, mas insuficiente em relação ao prejuízo de não ter participado da Série A em 2014. Além disso, o mandatário lembrou que não foi só o clube, mas toda a região do Cariri foi afetada com o erro da CBF.

-Esse valor é insignificante comparado ao prejuízo causado ao Icasa. Você vê aí quanto um clube que participa da Série A recebe por ano da CBF. Fora os patrocinadores que a gente perdeu, contrato de TV e bilheteria. Se tivéssemos subido aquele ano, seria um resgate muito importante para o Icasa. Isso tirou o sonho de muita gente e impactou a agremiação nos anos seguintes.

-Imagina como seria importante participar da Série A não só para o clube, mas para toda a nossa região, que ia se beneficiar com a movimentação da economia. Restaurantes, bares, hotéis, transporte aéreo, rodoviário. O prejuízo foi regional, para toda a sociedade de Juazeiro do Norte – concluiu França.

RECEITA ZERO E DÍVIDAS “IMPAGÁVEIS”

De fato, a partir desse episódio tudo deu errado para o Icasa e o clube sofreu uma série de rebaixamentos. Após ser rebaixado na Série B de 2014, o Verdão do Cariri disputou a Série C em 2015, a Série D em 2016 e ficou sem divisão nacional no ano seguinte. Também em 2016, o clube foi rebaixado da elite do futebol cearense e, desde então, disputa a segunda divisão estadual.

Além do mau desempenho em campo, uma grave crise financeira põe em risco o futuro do Icasa. Segundo França Bezerra, ele assumiu a presidência com “dívidas impagáveis”, uma vez que o clube não tem receita proveniente da disputa do Campeonato Cearense e, a partir desse ano, nem da bilheteria.

-Hoje a renda do Icasa é zero, então esse trabalho vem sendo ardiloso. É difícil administrar um time sem renda nenhuma, um time falido. O Icasa é mantido hoje com os recursos do meu bolso e de amigos.Aqui na região do Cariri, muita gente gosta do Icasa, arranjamos patrocinadores, e praticamente mantemos o clube a custo zero.

A meta de França Bezerra para os próximos anos é clara: fazer um trabalho de sustentabilidade e garantir o renascimento do Icasa. Dentro dessa operação, o valor a ser recebido do processo contra a CBF torna-se de extrema importância e é aguardado com paciência pela diretoria do Verdão do Cariri.

-Esperamos que tudo dê certo para que possamos reestabelecer o Icasa. Nós temos que liquidar dívidas trabalhistas e impostos sociais que estamos devendo. Torço para esse dinheiro venha em boa hora para a gente poder administrar e fazer o Icasa ser grande novamente.É uma questão de paciência, mas acreditamos que tudo vai dar certo – concluiu França Bezerra.

Arsenal: Arteta must bin £100k-p/w dud who had fewer touches than Raya

After Arsenal well and truly demolished PSV in the Champions League on Wednesday evening it looked as though the Gunners were back in the silky groove that had seen them dominate so much last season.

Indeed, that looked true during the opening half an hour of the north London derby on Sunday afternoon too.

Mikel Arteta's men came flying at Spurs who were forced to play through a rampant pressing unit. To their credit, Ange Postecoglou's men did well to navigate proceedings in that regard.

It wasn't enough to prevent them from going a goal down, however, with Bukayo Saka finding the net via wicket deflection off Cristian Romero.

That went down as an own goal before Saka would score in his own right from the penalty spot in the second half. That, however, wasn't enough for a win as Heung-min Son scored twice to ensure proceedings ended 2-2.

Arsenal were far from their free-flowing best. Skipper Martin Odegaard, fresh from a majestic performance in the Champions League a few days ago only recorded 18 passes at a woeful 64% success rate, while Jorginho, a half-time substitute for the injured Declan Rice, was robbed of possession in shambolic circumstances by James Maddison for Tottenham's second.

That said, the usually tireless Eddie Nketiah was perhaps one of the biggest party poopers on Sunday.

How did Nketiah play against Spurs?

The young striker has been an astute deputy for Gabriel Jesus throughout 2023.

The Brazilian sustained an injury at the World Cup last winter, a problem that ultimately saw him miss a few months. At the time, it was a worry for the Gunners, but upstepped Nketiah who scored against West Ham and Brighton immediately after the break before bagging twice, including a late winner against Manchester United in late January.

He started the new campaign vibrantly too, netting versus Nottingham Forest and Fulham, but with Jesus now fit and firing again, his performances have dwindled.

Against Everton eight days ago he was hauled off just after the hour mark and probably shouldn't have been given much more time than that yesterday.

Whether he'd have played but for Leandro Trossard's training injury is an interesting trail of thought, as Jesus was moved to the left-hand side after his European exploits, with Nketiah leading the line again.

However, after a timid showing, it was Jesus who was taken off in the second half, with the academy graduate somehow lasting the whole 100 minutes that were played.

Perhaps the most frustrating moment of Nketiah's afternoon was in the first half. Destiny Udogie's backpass flew past Micky van de Ven which left the Arsenal number 14 with a tight chance to score from.

He ignored Fabio Vieira who was racing towards the penalty spot and instead stuck an effort straight at Guglielmo Vicaro in the Tottenham net.

The £100k-per-week earner is usually accustomed to doing the dirty work but was largely anonymous throughout, making a mere six passes in 100 minutes on the field, and also registering just 23 touches of the ball. For context, even the Gunners' stopper, David Raya, had more say with the ball at his feet, taking 42 touches in total.

Described as "average" by Man United personality Mark Goldbridge, this was certainly a game to forget for Nketiah who was decidedly toothless and inept in the final third.

Usually such a vibrant poacher, he lacked the instinct to be in the right place at the right time, with his small influence on the game summed up by Arsenal's apparent lack of desire to put the ball into the area throughout injury time.

To make matters worse, the 24-year-old was perhaps lucky not to be sent off for a late challenge on Vicario as he flew through the Spurs 'keeper when the ball had already gone.

It's not often in the last 12 months that you could say Arsenal need to sign a new striker. Jesus was so promising in the early stages of term but if they are to persist with Nketiah, trouble will only brew in the final third.

Whether or not Trossard and Martinelli are fit for this week's fixtures, Nketiah must be ditched from the starting XI. His position is surely now Jesus' for the taking.
