This week, Everton signed Anwar El Ghazi from Aston Villa on loan until the end of the season, with Toffees manager Rafael Benitez surely delighted that he has signed up another attacking threat for his side to create more chances after a poor first half of the season.

Fabrizio Romano has now added a further detail on the move which will be of interest to Everton fans.

What’s the word?

The journalist has taken to Twitter to add details of a €10 (£8.35m) purchase option on the loan signing of El Ghazi.

The transfer insider tweeted: “Official and confirmed. Anwar El Ghazi joins Everton on loan from Aston Villa, deal sealed and now announced. #EFC

“Buy option will be regularly included as reported yesterday – not mandatory, around €10m.”

The Netherlands international joined the squad at Goodison Park from Aston Villa on Thursday, the same day that Lucas Digne left the Merseyside club to join Steven Gerrard’s side in a £25m move.

Benitez will be delighted

Benitez’s first season at the Everton helm has been a tough one thus far, and the Spaniard is hoping to improve matters by making signings in January to cover key positions and adding new players to resolve clear issues in the side. One of those is scoring and creating goals, with only five wins in the league and 1.28 goals scored per game compared to the 1.78 per game they are conceding.

El Ghazi joins a number of attacking players in the squad, such as the likes of Richarlison, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Demarai Gray and Andros Townsend, with the first two missing large chunks of the season through injury. That has duly hindered the goal threat that Everton has posed so far this season, with the duo netting 34 times between them last term.

The 26-year-old Dutch winger has not had too many opportunities this season to make an impact at Villa Park, with just 12 appearances in all competitions. However, during his time at the club over the last three-and-a-half years, El Ghazi has either scored or set up a goal every 180 minutes (once every two games, effectively), with 26 goals and 16 assists in just 119 appearances for the club, proving that he can be a consistent threat in front of goal.

Benitez will be delighted to add a player with such consistency, something the Toffees have been completely lacking all season, winning just one of their last 12 games in the Premier League. For the bargain price of £8.35m, El Ghazi fits the club’s tight budget, and the loan move gives the Goodison Park hierarchy the chance to weigh up whether or not he would be worth the financial commitment of a permanent deal.

O goleiro Weverton tem acordo para defender o Palmeiras a partir de 2018. Apesar de ter contrato com o Atlético-PR até maio, a tendência é de que ele se despeça da equipe rubro-negra neste domingo, justamente contra o seu futuro clube, no jogo que começa às 17h, na Arena da Baixada.

Weverton deve se apresentar ao Palmeiras já em janeiro. O próprio atleta manifestou esse desejo à diretoria de seu atual clube e pode confirmar a liberação após o jogo desta tarde. As partes ainda não divulgaram se o Furacão receberá uma compensação financeira ou jogadores em troca.

O goleiro tem 318 partidas pelo Atlético-PR, clube que defende desde a metade de 2012. Ele foi campeão estadual no ano passado, meses antes de ser convocado para defender a Seleção Brasileira na Olimpíada do Rio de Janeiro, onde conquistou a medalha de ouro.

Curiosamente, Weverton foi chamado por Rogério Micale para substituir Fernando Prass, que será seu companheiro no Palmeiras. O goleiro de 39 anos assinou neste sábado a sua renovação com o Verdão e garantiu permanência até dezembro de 2018.

Os outros goleiros do elenco palmeirense são Jailson, Vinicius Silvestre e Daniel Fuzato. O clube encaminhou um acordo com César, do Londrina, mas a diretoria diz que não vai contratá-lo.

Jonathan Trott eased to a trouble-free century as England finetuned their preparations for next week’s first Test on a sleepy second day in Chittagong

Andrew Miller in Chittagong09-Mar-2010

Bangladesh’s most-capped cricketer, Mohammad Ashraful, has been omitted from the Test squad for the forthcoming series against England, after failing to convince the selectors that he is in the right frame of mind to resume his international career.Ashraful, 25, missed last week’s ODI series in a bid to recapture his form following a poor tour of New Zealand, but in consecutive first-class matches for Dhaka Division, he made 21 runs in four innings, including three ducks.His final chance to impress the selectors came during his captaincy stint for Bangladesh A against England at Chittagong, but having managed just 1 in the first innings, he was bowled by Amjal Shahzad for 30 on the third and final morning of the match.Ashraful has played in 53 of Bangladesh’s 64 Tests to date, having made his mark with a debut century against Sri Lanka in November 2001, when he was just 16 years old. However, he has never yet featured in a home Test against England, having been dropped for the 2003 series, again due to a loss of form.The Bangladesh selectors have named a 14-man squad which includes the centurion from the warm-up match, Raqibul Hasan, as well as no fewer than three left-arm spinners – the captain Shakib Al Hasan, Abdur Razzak and Enamul Haque Jr – in response to Kevin Pietersen’s much-publicised problems against that style of bowling.Ironically, Pietersen fell to Ashraful’s spin for 20 on the final afternoon of the tour match.Bangladesh squad Shakib Al Hasan (capt), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Junaid Siddique, Aftab Ahmed, Mahmudullah, Raqibul Hasan, Naeem Islam, Rubel Hossain, Shafiul Islam, Abdur Razzak, Enamul Haque Jr, Shahadat Hossain.

Newcastle United journalist Luke Edwards has offered his reaction to the news that Magpies target Chris Wood may have a release clause in his contract. 

The lowdown

Edwards broke the news on Sunday that the Tynesiders had approached Burnley over a deal for the 30-year-old.

Eddie Howe’s side are set to be without their top scorer Callum Wilson for up to eight weeks after he picked up an injury, although Newcastle fans may have doubted whether a move for the New Zealand international was realistic given that the two clubs are relegation rivals – the Clarets are 18th, level on points with the Magpies (albeit with two games in hand).

However, Edwards then said that he was ‘hearing Chris Wood might have a release clause’, before expressing greater confidence in the information in a follow-up tweet in which he described the £5.4m-rated striker a ‘priority target’ for the Tynesiders.

The latest

After learning of the development, The Telegraph journalist tweeted: “Oooooohhh hearing Chris Wood might have a release clause in his contract. Haven’t had it confirmed yet but that would explain why #nufc have pursued it when it didn’t immediately make much sense given Burnley would be selling to a relegation rival.”

He signed off the tweet by adding: “More to follow? Perhaps.”

It remains to be seen just how much Newcastle will be required to pay for the £50,000-per-week striker.

The verdict

Newcastle’s shock FA Cup defeat at the hands of League One Cambridge United laid bare the importance of adding cover for Wilson. On Saturday, Howe deployed the likes of Allan Saint-Maximin, Joelinton and Ryan Fraser, but his team still couldn’t find the net; and after the game, the manager admitted that the absence of a ‘focal point’ cost them.

Signing Wood, who has hit double figures in each of the last four full Premier League seasons, would fill the gap left by Wilson’s enforced absence. It would have the significant added benefit of weakening relegation rivals Burnley, who would be left without their leading marksman from 2020/21.

Therefore, this potential transfer has the ability to greatly alter the picture at the bottom of the table between now and the end of May.

Ponte Preta jogará contra o Vasco em clima de despedida. Além de dar adeus a Série A do Campeonato Brasileiro, o duelo em São Januário, domingo, também será o último de alguns jogadores com a camisa alvinegra.

Lucca, Marllon e Nino Paraíba são os que têm chances de deixar o Majestoso.

Lucca ainda pertence ao Corinthians. Ele poderá ser reintegrado ao elenco corintiano ou ser negociado de novo. Inclusive, um dos interessados no artilheiro da Ponte em 2017, é o São Paulo.

O zagueiro Marllon está emprestado até o fim do ano e deve ser transferido para o Timão, assim como Lucca.

Já Nino Paraíba tem o nome especulado no Santos. Apesar do interesse da Ponte em renovar, a tendência é que o lateral-direito siga a carreira longe de Campinas, em algum grande clube.

Emerson Sheik, Rodrigo, Renato Cajá e Fernando Bob são outros jogadores que não devem permanecer no Majestoso em 2018.

لا يرى فيرجيل فان دايك مدافع فريق ليفربول، أن رحيل ساديو ماني كان له تأثير على تراجع مستوى الفريق هذا الموسم.

ساديو ماني رحل عن ليفربول في الصيف الماضي إلى بايرن ميونخ، والنادي الإنجليزي حتى الآن لم يحقق سوى انتصارين فقط في الدوري منذ رحيل السنغالي.

فيرجيل فان دايك في تصريحاته لشبكة “سكاي” البريطانية، قال: “من الواضح أن ساديو ماني كان لاعبًا هائلًا بالنسبة لنا، لكنه أراد الرحيل”.

وأضاف: “الأمر لم يكن سهلًا، لكن النادي سمح له بالرحيل، ولدينا لاعبون آخرون جاءوا مثل لويس دياز وأظهر كم هو رائع، وكذلك داروين نونيز في الهجوم”.

وأكمل: “يستغرق الأمر بعض الوقت في هذه الحالة، لكنني لا أعتقد أن ساديو ماني هو السبب وراء عدم الظهور بمستوانا هذا الموسم، من الممكن أن كل شخص يحلل كما يريد، ولكن من الصعب جدًا تحديد السبب الدقيق الذي يجعل الأمور تسير عكس ما نريد هذا الموسم”.

واختتم: “علينا الفوز بالمباريات، ولتحقيق ذلك، يجب أن نتواصل معًا وأن نكون في أفضل حالاتنا، لم يكن هذا هو الحال في بداية الموسم، لكن من حسن حظنا أن الموسم لن يتحدد في أكتوبر أو نوفمبر مثل الماضي”.

Leeds United are reportedly interested in signing exciting Fulham youngster Fabio Carvalho, but they are not alone in being linked with a move for the starlet.

The Lowdown: Carvalho shining for Fulham

The 19-year-old has been a key player for a Cottagers side currently leading the way in the Championship this season, scoring eight goals and registering two assists in 14 league starts. He has also represented England at various youth levels, including six caps for the country’s under-18 side.

The attacking midfielder’s performances have caught the eye of a number of clubs, and according to a fresh report, Leeds are among the suitors.

The Latest: Leeds linked with Carvalho move

According to The Daily Mail, the Whites see Carvalho as an exciting option to bring in during the January transfer window, with a move to the Premier League this month potentially ‘too tempting to turn down’. Indeed, the 19-year-old rejected the offer of a new contract at Craven Cottage in November.

Liverpool and West Ham are also credited with taking an interest in the Fulham starlet, so it may not be easy for Whites to get a deal over the line if they are battling with two of the top flight’s current top five.

The Verdict: Hugely exciting prospect

It is crucial that Marcelo Bielsa plans for both the present and the future, ensuring Leeds that continue to grow after he has left the club, and Carvalho could be a great prospective signing in that respect.

He possesses huge long-term potential, already a standout performer for a team who have scored a ridiculous 73 goals in just 27 league matches this season, and he has been hailed as ‘fantastic’ by his current manager Marco Silva.

The lure of Liverpool in particular could act as a stumbling block for Leeds, but a greater prospect of first-team action at Elland Road – where young talents like Charlie Cresswell, Cody Drameh and Joe Gelhardt have all earned Premier League starts this season – could possibly give the Whites an edge.
