Spurs open Diego Carlos talks

According to Football Insider, a new target for Tottenham Hotspur has emerged in the last week of the transfer window as they now set their sights on Sevilla defender Diego Carlos.

The Lowdown: Tottenham eye centre-half…

As reported by reliable correspondent Alasdair Gold, Spurs have a central defender on their agenda as manager Antonio Conte sets out four priority positions to strengthen in his squad.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/tottenham-latest-news-2/” title=”Tottenham latest news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Alongside a new defender, it is believed that Spurs are after a right-wing-back, midfielder and striker as they seek to back Conte (football.london) – with transfer chief Fabio Paratici apparently set for a busy final week.

Tottenham are in talks to offload Tanguy Ndombele with sights set on his replacement in Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat (Fabrizio Romano), with FI now sharing news on a new name being targeted.

The Latest: Spurs open Carlos talks…

According to FI, Tottenham have ‘opened preliminary talks’ to sign the Brazil international and are interested in a swap deal to bring down his £50 million asking price.

It is believed that the Lilywhites could allow midfielder Giovani Lo Celso to go the other way to ‘sweeten the deal’.

Spurs have ‘turned their attention’ to the colossal defender as they enter the market for a centre-half in this final week transfer push.

The Verdict: Unlikely?

Depending on whether the La Liga side are open to a swap deal, it will be interesting to see how this develops, but our thoughts are this move will be rather unlikely.

Newcastle submitted a series of £30 million bids for the South American star, all of which were knocked back, perhaps highlighting just how challenging it will be to negotiate a last minute deal with Sevilla.

Given their current attempts to sign Wolves star Traore, Amrabat and FC Porto forward Luis Diaz, signing a new defender may have to wait until the summer window.

Cricinfo previews the second semi-final between Chennai Super Kings and Deccan Chargers

The Preview by Siddarth Ravindran21-Apr-2010 Match factsThursday, April 22
Start time 2000 (1430 GMT)MS Dhoni showed again in Dharamsala that he’s one of the best finishers in the game•Indian Premier League

Big PictureAll the headlines over the past couple of weeks have been dealing with the off-field shenanigans of administrators and franchise owners, but in the same period Deccan Chargers have, almost without notice, knitted together five wins to finish the league, against all odds, in second spot. The middle-order trio of T Suman, Rohit Sharma and Andrew Symonds has been crucial to the turnaround, made all the more remarkable as it came on the back of five consecutive morale-sapping defeats. After the final-over choke against Rajasthan Royals, they have shown much more composure in similar situations thereafter to pull off some crucial victories. Deccan have also overcome the disadvantage of having no real home games, or the comfort of a partisan crowd backing them.Deccan’s bowling isn’t their strongest suit, though, and they are up against one of the strongest batting outfits in the tournament, Chennai Super Kings. While it was expected that Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni would plaster the bowling, the surprise package has been the form of M Vijay at the top of the order. Add to that the solidity of S Badrinath, the threatening presence of Matthew Hayden, and the hitting of Albie Morkel and Justin Kemp and the scale of the challenge facing Adam Gilchrist’s bowlers becomes evident. One thing the Deccan coach, Darren Lehmann, will remind his team of is the inconsistency of their opponents who have alternated between victory and defeat in their past five matches. Like Deccan, Chennai’s bowling attack is also not among the more potent ones in the tournament, which means there could be a run-fest at the DY Patil when the two sides face off.Form guide (most recent first)Deccan Chargers WWWWW
Chennai Super Kings WLWLWTeam talkChennai’s overseas players haven’t been as influential as the foreign recruits in most of the other teams. Doug Bollinger is one who has consistently delivered, but Dhoni will mostly have to pick the out-of-form Matthew Hayden and Albie Morkel. Justin Kemp could also be needed to give the side options, especially with all the Indian fast bowlers struggling.Chennai: (probable) Matthew Hayden, M Vijay, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni (capt & wk), S Badrinath, Albie Morkel, Justin Kemp, R Ashwin, Doug Bollinger, Shadab Jakati, L Balaji/Sudeep Tyagi

Last season, he stopped the in-form Delhi Daredevils in the semi-finals with a breathtaking onslaught on their spearhead, Dirk Nannes. Can he repeat that performance again?Chennai’s fast bowlers Bollinger has rapidly won over the Chennai crowd with his enthusiasm and tight bowling. He has had little support from the other quicks, though, with Albie and the quartet of Indian medium-pacers all proving expensive.MS Dhoni flopped when he pushed himself to No. 3 against Delhi but in the game against Kings XI Punjab, he showed off the massive hitting that made him popular during his early days in international cricket. How he and Raina perform will have a big impact of the sort of total Chennai will get.Prime numbers and trivia Deccan (39) and Chennai (32) have conceded the most sixes in the league phase while bowling at the death (last six overs)Tyagi has had a horror tournament – an average of 159 combined with an economy rate of 10.04.

Diego Souza chega motivado ao São Paulo de olho na Copa da Rússia

MatériaMais Notícias

Principal reforço do São Paulo nesta temporada, o meia-atacante Diego Souza chegou ao seu novo clube com a ambição de recolocar o clube do Morumbi no caminho dos títulos. O jogador fez exames médicos na manhã nesta terça (9) e deve fazer seu primeiro treino com o grupo ainda nesta semana.

– Estou muito feliz por chegar ao São Paulo. Tenho muitos amigos que jogaram aqui e sempre ouvi boas referências sobre o clube pela grandeza, organização e conquistas. E hoje, felizmente, tenho a oportunidade de defender esta camisa. O desejo de chegar ao São Paulo sempre foi grande. Quero corresponder a expectativa e ser feliz com os nossos torcedores, disse o meia-atacante em entrevista para o site oficial do clube.

Tentando cravar uma vaga no elenco que disputará a Copa do Mundo da Rússia, no meio do ano, o jogador decidiu deixar o Sport e encarar o desafio de jogar no São Paulo. Para tirar o atleta do clube nordestino, o Tricolor desembolsou algo em torno de R$ 10 milhões e vê o jogador como um substituto para o argentino Lucas Pratto, que se transferiu para o River Plate.

– Desejo que seja um ano de conquistas e coisas grandes. A equipe tem tudo para ter um grande 2018, e vou batalhar por isso com os meus companheiros. Os desafios e os objetivos que tenho me motivam para brigar pelos títulos. Estou aqui para ajudar. No futebol não conseguimos nada sozinho, e por isso temos que ser fortes como equipe e grupo, declarou o motivado Diego Souza, que já conheceu seus novos companheiros de trabalho.

Bresnan and Finn aim to build on winter success

Six months ago neither Tim Bresnan or Steven Finn were at the head of the pack for pace-bowling slots, yet now both will line-up against Bangladesh at Lord’s

Forming a successful Test team can take years of work, but sometimes a couple of crucial building blocks slot in almost out of nowhere. Six months ago neither Tim Bresnan or Steven Finn were at the head of the pack for pace-bowling slots, yet both will now line-up against Bangladesh at Lord’s with the aim of pushing their claims for a more permanent place.As is often the case, ill-luck to others presented their opportunities. Ryan Sidebottom and Graham Onions both went lame before the first Test in Bangladesh during March – and the latter is now ruled out for at least another three months – leaving the England selectors searching for replacements. Bresnan’s consistent one-day form meant his was a logical progression, while Finn was summoned to the squad having impressed for the Lions in UAE.Both slotted straight into the line-up in the searing heat of Chittagong and Dhaka on pitches devoid of any life. But it was the tough conditions which allowed the pair to enhance their reputations. Bresnan showed the knack of breaking partnerships with reverse swing and suggested he could handle the No. 7 spot, while Finn, even on deathly slow pitches, found troublesome bounce with useful pace.However, while both emerged during the same series that’s where the similarities end. With Bresnan you have the stocky, northern allrounder who has had to fight hard to get himself in shape, then there is the beanpole, 6’7” frame of Finn who has battled to add the bulk needed to be a fast bowler.”I did myself a lot of favours in Bangladesh with the way I bowled, but especially the way I batted,” Bresnan said. “I grabbed the chance with both hands which is what you need to do to force you way into a team.”But I realised I needed a good start in county cricket so decided to play as much as I could for Yorkshire and I realised I’d be difficult to leave out if I had a successful start to the season.”Bresnan has just returned from playing a key role in England’s World Twenty20 triumph where his all-round reputation was further boosted, but Finn has spent the last six weeks in the more humble surrounds of Division Two Championship action for Middlesex. He started the season with an almighty bang by claiming 14 wickets in the match against Worcestershire and has 29 scalps at 18.68 for the season.There is already a feeling that the England management see him as an Ashes weapon with his height a potentially crucial factor on hard Australian pitches, but the 21-year-old is trying to keep himself firmly focussed on the week ahead.”Even six months ago I wasn’t expecting an international debut in 2010,” Finn said. “I’m just taking each game as it comes and that’s all I can do and it will stand me in good stead.”Bangladesh was a great experience, playing on wickets like that which I have never played on before. You don’t experience decks that flat here, and it’s nice to bowl a green seamer in April after slugging it out on those wickets. I’ve started the season well and taken a few wickets but each game is a new day.”Steven Finn’s early-season form has built on the positive impressive he made in Bangladesh and he is now tipped for an Ashes berth•Getty Images

If England’s plans continue to take shape as expected, two of England’s pace attack in Australia will be James Anderson and the currently resting Stuart Broad. Then it depends on whether it’s a five-man or four-man attack as to how many berths are vacant. Onions is losing ground with his untimely injury so both Bresnan and Finn could jump ahead during the summer, although there is no such thing as too many quick bowlers to chose from.”The way it’s happened over the last couple of years means we have a crop of seamers that can do a job in Test cricket,” Bresnan said. “Anyone who has played has been quite successful and long may that continue because one seamer isn’t going to play every game, it isn’t humanly possible.”This is how it’s got to be know because we play so much cricket. Test cricket is very intense, a lot more so than county cricket, and you can’t get away with 75% and be successful. As long as you have quality guys playing all the time, which we have, we should be able to maintain the standards.”The balance of the England side is a key question which needs answering this season and Bresnan will be central to the debate of four bowlers or five. Andy Flower is a huge supporter and Bresnan’s 91 in Dhaka hinted that No. 7 isn’t out of his reach at Test level.”In the last six to eight months I’ve gone the other way and spent a lot more time working on my batting,” he said. “My bowling is at a stage where it just needs fine-tuning, I feel I have the skill and accuracy. It’s not that I don’t work on it, but it takes a backburner at practice because we bowl so much anyway.”I’ve always know I could score runs at Test level it’s just about the application. I can play in Test cricket, no problem, as an allrounder,” he said. “It’s nice for the captain and coach when there is someone down the order who can get big runs.”Finn’s role is more one-dimensional but his development could be even more vital to England’s chances. They are craving a tall, quick bowler to replace Steve Harmison and Andrew Flintoff with Finn being the closest available on the domestic scene. Finn will hope that Andrew Strauss gives him the Pavilion End at Lord’s when his turn comes with the ball, which is the end from which his role model was at his best.”I have my idols like Glenn McGrath, in my opinion the best bowler to play the game, and it’s nice to play in the environment he was in a few years ago and see what I can do,” he said. “I’m still learning about my game. I’ve spoken a lot to Gus [Angus Fraser, the Middlesex director of cricket] about this and I don’t want to be like anyone else. I want to bowl how I can with my style but it’s hard to put my finger on what that is.”But will a strike or stock role be Finn’s route? “It would be great to combine the two. It would be nice to have a lot of pace and be able to control it – that’s the ideal fast bowler – and everyone who plays cricket should try and make themselves as good as they can. At the moment I’m somewhere between the two but no way am I the finished article.”There is still a chance that neither Finn or Bresnan will feature in Brisbane come November 25, but the fact both are now in the mix shows how far they have developed in a short space of time.

سيد معوض: الأهلي يمتلك سلاحًا قويًا ضد الزمالك.. ولقب السوبر سيعوض إخفاقات الموسم الماضي

يرى سيد معوض لاعب الأهلي ومنتخب مصر السابق، أن فوز المارد الأحمر بكأس السوبر المصري، على حساب الزمالك، سيمنح الفريق والمدير الفني الجديد مارسيل كولر، دفعة معنوية كبيرة.

ومن المقرر أن يلتقي الزمالك والأهلي، اليوم الجمعة، على ملعب هزاع بن زايد، للمنافسة على لقب كأس السوبر المصري، في تمام السابعة مساءً بتوقيت القاهرة.

وقال معوض في تصريحات لبرنامج “بوكس تو بوكس” المُذاع على فضائية “ETC”: “الأهلي أمامه فرصة كبيرة لتعويض هزائم الموسم الماضي، المارد الأحمر يرغب في تحقيق الفوز من أجل إعادة الثقة للاعبين”.

وتابع: “الانتصار سيكون له تأثير كبير على المدرب الجديد واللاعبين الجدد والسابقين، فهي بالنسبة للأهلي مباراة التعويض”.

وواصل: “أنا كلاعب كرة قدم عندما أخسر أمام الزمالك في بطولة، أنتظر بفارغ الصبر المباراة التي تليها للتعويض؛ لذلك فهي مهمة من أجل تعويض ما حدث في الموسم الماضي”.

وأكمل: “السلاح الأهم عند لاعبي الأهلي، هو تطور أداء الفريق في الكرات الثابتة، هذا أصبح من أبرز مميزات المارد الأحمر في ولاية مارسيل كولر”.

وواصل: “هذه المباراة هي الأهم لـ كولر في الموسم الجاري، لأنها ستدفع الفريق للأمام وقد تعرقل مسيرته، وأهم ما يعجبني فيه هدوءه وردود أفعاله طبيعية ولا يتحدث كثيرًا في الإعلام، وأيضًا مسيطر على أداء الفريق داخل وخارج الملعب”.

واستمر في حديثه قائلا: “هذه المباراة ستفرق جدًا مع كولر لأن ذلك سيعطي انطباعًا للجماهير بأنه مدرب بطولات وليس نتائج إيجابية فقط”.

واستكمل: “فيريرا مدرب ذكي ويعرف جيدًا التعامل في مثل هذه المباريات، هناك مدربين جيدين لكن في بعض الأحيان لا يجيدون التعامل مع المواقف المختلفة في مباريات كبيرة”.

واختتم: “لكن فيريرا ليس كذلك، في أغلب المباريات الكبيرة قادر على التفوق، ولا ننسى مباراة القمة الأخيرة بإجرائه بعض التبديلات الغريبة للبعض لكنها أفادت الفريق في النهاية، المدرب البرتغالي قراءته صحيحة بنسبة 80% خاصة في المباريات الكبيرة، وأتوقع أن كولر سيبدأ مباراة متوازنة وليس مندفعًا بشكل هجومي”.

Key Leeds deadline day update emerges

Leeds United will look to sign a new wide player if Crysencio Summerville leaves on loan on deadline day, according to reliable journalist David Ornstein.

The Lowdown: Summerville could leave on loan

The Whites have had a quiet January transfer window overall, with money hard to come by and no major outgoings taking place.

One player who has been linked with a loan move from Elland Road is Summerville, however, having been limited to just five cameo appearances in the Premier League this season.

It now looks as though the 20-year-old could play a key role on deadline day, in terms of a potential Leeds signing.

[freshpress-quiz id=“383507″]

The Latest: Key Ornstein update

According to The Athletic‘s Ornstein, the Whites will aim to sign a last-minute replacement for Summerville, should he seal temporary move away:

“The club will make a late move for cover out wide if Crysencio Summerville leaves on loan. The young Dutchman has attracted interest from his homeland and Germany but no deal has been agreed for him.”

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/latest-leeds-united-news-33/” title=”Latest Leeds United news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Verdict: Win-win situation?

In truth, there are positives to be found whatever happens with Summerville.

If the youngster moves on, it will allow him the chance to earn regular football at a good standard, hopefully meaning he returns a more rounded player in the summer.

Meanwhile, Victor Orta may then be able to lift the mood both at Thorp Arch and amongst the fans with a new signing on deadline day.

On the flip side, Summerville could continue to play a bit-part role at Leeds if he stays, chipping in from the substitutes’ bench and continuing to learn from the likes of Raphinha and Jack Harrison.

Umar Amin's run-out 'unfortunate', says Waqar

The controversial run-out of Pakistan batsman Umar Amin in the dead rubber against Bangladesh has again brought into focus the much-debated spirit of cricket

Waqar Younis: “If you open the law book, he’s out, but the way whole thing happened, it feels sometimes it was sad”•Associated Press

The controversial run-out of Pakistan batsman Umar Amin against Bangladesh has again brought into focus the much-debated spirit of cricket.Amin had punched a delivery to long-off and completed an easy single in the 22nd over with Pakistan coasting at 135 for 1. After grounding his bat, Amin started to walk across the stumps to take up his position at the non-striker’s end because the bowler, Mahmudullah, was bowling from round the wicket. While doing so, Amin was out of the crease with his bat was in the air, and the bowler – not facing the batsman, and unaware of Amin’s position – perfunctorily whipped off the bails. Shakib Al Hasan, fielding at extra cover, noticed Amin was out of his crease and appealed for a run-out. The third umpire declared the batsman out. Pakistan coach Waqar Younis, speaking to reporters after the game, termed the dismissal “unfortunate”.Younis said that though Amin was out according to the rules, it was sad his innings had ended in that manner. “I mean he was out, if you open the law book, he’s out, but the way whole thing happened, it feels sometimes it was sad,” Younis said. “He’s a youngster, he’s talented, he needed time out there, which I think he took. He looked very good, but it’s just unfortunate.”Jamie Siddons, the Bangladesh coach, did not wish to comment on the incident. “I wasn’t even watching, so I don’t have a clue,” he said.The spirit of cricket had also taken centre stage during last year’s ICC Champions Trophy when Angelo Mathews was recalled by England captain Andrew Strauss after he was run out following a collision with bowler Graham Onions while turning for the second run.There have been several incidents similar to the Amin run-out in the past, the most recent being Muttiah Muralitharan being declared run-out during the Christchurch Test in 2006 after the stumps were broken once he rushed to congratulate his batting partner Kumar Sangakkara for completing a hundred. The man who dismissed Murali on that occasion was Brendon McCullum, who had been involved in another such run-out, of Chris Mpofu, in a Test against Zimbabwe in 2005.Perhaps the most famous of this sort of dismissal is former England captain Tony Greig running out Alvin Kallicharran during the first Test against West Indies at Port-of-Spain in February 1974. Unbeaten on 142, Kallicharan watched Bernard Julien defend the final delivery of the day. He had backed up a few steps, but seeing the wicketkeeper flick off the bails to indicate the end of the day he continued to walk towards the pavilion. Greig then threw down the stumps at the bowler’s end and Kallicharan was ruled out. The decision, however, was overruled after a two-and-a-half hour meeting at the ground.
