Man United eyeing move for “key player” who hasn’t lost this season

In the middle of yet another eventful Premier League season, Manchester United fans have at least been handed hope by the arrival of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who could make his mark at Old Trafford in 2024.

Man United transfer news

The Manchester United transfer news that's dominated the headlines this month has been the exit of Jadon Sancho on loan to Borussia Dortmund – the club that the Red Devils signed Sancho from for a reported £73m back in 2021 – in a deal that sums up their recent history of transfers to forget. United could turn their attention to reinforcements, though, whether those be during this month's window or in the summer.

Reports have linked the Manchester club with moves for the likes of midfielder Joao Neves and defenders Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt, but they are yet to complete a deal to sign a single addition as of yet this month. Now, a new target has reportedly emerged for those at Old Trafford ahead of a potential summer swoop. According to Sky Sports' Florian Plettenberg, Manchester United are eyeing a move to sign Odilon Kossounou, who is a "key player" for Bayer Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso. Plettenberg posted on X:

It doesn't come as too much of a shock to see United targeting a centre-back, given that Raphael Varane's exit has been rumoured for some time, albeit one that is yet to take place. Previous reports have suggested that United are ready to accept an offer for the former Real Madrid man.

"Fast" Kossounou can be the answer to Man Utd's defensive problems

If Manchester United are to get their winning mentality back anytime soon, then signing a player involved in Bayer Leverkusen's unbeaten season in all competitions so far would likely provide a major boost. Kossounou's stats also show that he'd potentially be an upgrade on Varane.

Kossounou's rise at Leverkusen has been coming for some time, with former manager Gerardo Seoane previously full of praise for the defender, telling the Bundesliga website via BuliNews when Kossounou filled in at right-back: "Odilon naturally interprets the right-back position differently than Jeremie [Frimpong] due to his own qualities.

Bayer Leverkusen defenderOdilon Kossounou.

"The switch from a CB position to that of a roving fullback is actually a fairly large one, but he can adapt quickly and did very well. Thanks to him we can play a three, four, or five man back-line. It's hard to get past him, but he's also fast and very valuable on set pieces."

When the summer transfer window arrives, the Ivory Coast star could certainly be one to keep an eye on if Manchester United pursue his signature.

Dele Alli sent ‘time for the talking to stop’ transfer message as ex-Tottenham star prepares to leave Everton as a free agent with ‘bit between his teeth’

Injuries have held playmaker backContract running down at GoodisonLooking to reset with a fresh startWHAT HAPPENED?

The former England international has endured a torrid time of late, with injury struggles contributing to a serious dip in form. After taking in just 13 appearances for Everton, and spending time on loan in Turkey at Besiktas, Dele will see his contract at Goodison Park expire in the summer.

AdvertisementGettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE

At 28 years of age, the ex-Tottenham playmaker is approaching an important career crossroads that may allow him to hit the reset button. It is vital that he gets his next move right, with there no doubting the ability that he possesses.

WHAT ROBINSON SAID

Karl Robinson worked with Dele during his younger years at MK Dons and has told of an enigmatic talent: “Tottenham was the right environment for him. There was proof in his meteoric rise. What Mauricio [Pochettino] did with him at Tottenham was incredible, he got to a Champions League final. Everyone has a back story and a problem in their lives and when we find it difficult, it does come back to bite us. Some people have different coping mechanisms, some people have better coping mechanisms. In Dele's case, his was something he has to deal with personally. He then comes back and gets injured, which sets him back probably another 12 months. For me, Dele went in to try to be an individual then from that moment, everything went wrong. He tried to be an individual, the mental health situation he had, going to the rehab clinic in America. It all started coming out. No-one knew at that moment where Dele was in his life."

GettyDID YOU KNOW?

Robinson added on the approach that needs to be taken in order to make the future brighter than the present and recent past: “It's time for the talking to stop now. He has to have a summer where his pre-season is right, all his talking and positivity is brilliant. I'm happy to see him happy first and foremost. Now I'll be even happier if he goes and does what he loves. I know he's working hard, I know he's got the bit between his teeth, I do know he wants to be successful. I do know he's looking in the face of adversity and there will be an element of fear because we all carry that. The big thing for me is stands there, puts his chest out and works his hardest and success will follow that.”

Pandya-Rahul case in limbo after SC adjourns hearing

An imminent return of Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul to the Indian set-up has been ruled out with the Supreme Court on Thursday adjourning – without giving a next date of hearing – the case pertaining to the Lodha Committee reforms. Several issues, including the fate of the two cricketers and the BCCI’s elections, are due to be resolved but the court said it would proceed with the case only after the appointment of an amicus curiae to replace Gopal Subramanium, who left that post recently after holding it for several years.The two-judge bench of Justices SA Bobde and AM Sapre has nominated PS Narsimha, senior advocate in the court, to replace Subramanium and said it would hear the case if and when Narsimha accepted the role.The disciplinary issue of the two players is tied to the appointment of a BCCI ombudsman, the board’s final adjudicating authority under its constitution. The post has been vacant since Justice AP Shah finished his term in late 2016 and the Committee of Administrators has asked the court for directions on a new appointment.The BCCI legal team had advised the CoA that the process of adjudicating on the players would involve an initial inquiry to be done by Johri (see sidebar), which would then be sent to an ombudsman whose ruling would be final and binding. This issue saw a split between the two members of the CoA – chairman Vinod Rai said if the court did not appoint an ombudsman, he would consult the amicus curiae to pick an ad-hoc ombudsman, while Diana Edulji said that she would not support any hasty inquiry because that would only amount to a “cover up” exercise. Incidentally, Edulji was present in court today along with her legal counsel.

Pandya, Rahul plead guilty

Rahul Johri, the BCCI chief executive officer, conducted an initial hearing with Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul over the phone and submitted the players’ explanations to the CoA on Tuesday. Both have pleaded guilty to the charge of indiscipline and misconduct imposed on them by the CoA over their comments recently on an Indian television chat show.
On January 11, the CoA suspended both players and called them home from Australia to face an inquiry. The selectors then named replacements for the Australia series and the New Zealand tour, which starts next week.
“The players have expressed deep regret and they have apologised for all they have done,” Vinod Rai, the CoA chairman, told ESPNcricinfo. “They have said that they did it in their naivete. And they didn’t realise [at the time] what they had done.”

The CoA counsels Parag Tripathi and CU Singh told the court appointing the ombudsman was essential, not only to decide the fate of the players but also in that it would remove all the roadblocks for the BCCI and the states to comply with the Lodha reforms.On the other hand, the BCCI members have said it’s their right to pick the ombudsman. The Solicitor General of India, appearing for the BCCI’s government-affiliated members, made this point today when he intervened to say that only the BCCI had the powers to appoint an ombudsman, and it can only be done post elections. The court said that without the new amicus curiae taking charge, no decision could be taken.Legal counsels for various state associations told the court they had applications pending on the recall of the order last August, which had approved the new BCCI constitution as per the reforms. The states still had reservations about a few significant reforms pertaining to the tenure of the office bearers and the disqualification criteria. The CoA, in its tenth status report, had told that court that not one of the 34 BCCI members had become fully compliant.

Jon Lewis steps away from Durham role

Jon Lewis has left Durham following a restructuring of the club’s cricket operations.Lewis, who had been head coach, joined the club as a player in 1997 and was appointed captain in 2000. As coach, he led the club to the County Championship title in 2013, the Royal London Cup in 2014 and to T20 Finals Day in 2016. He has also overseen a system that has helped produce the likes of Ben Stokes, Mark Wood, Mark Stoneman, Graham Onions, Scott Borthwick and Keaton Jennings in recent years.The restructure – managed by director of cricket, Marcus North – left no obvious role for a permanent head coach, however, and Lewis is understood to have declined the opportunity to apply for a new role.The new coaching structure will see a coach employed to run the Championship and List A side – a nine month a year role – while another coach – again in a part-time role – will run the T20 side. There will also be a batting consultant – available for around 120 days a year – and two full-time roles as bowling coach (which will be Neil Killeen) and an assistant coach or second XI coach, which will be Alan Walker. Jonathan Trott, who is recently retired as a player but appears to be in demand as a coach, has been linked to the batting consultancy position.The club insist the changes are not forced upon them by budget issues, but instead designed to modernise the system and give themselves a better chance of employing coaches who might also be involved in the BBL or similar leagues.Lewis could be forgiven for feeling a certain level of disgruntlement, though. Over the course of his tenure as coach, he has seen his playing budgetslashed by around 50% and seen his side relegated – and handicapped – following the club’s financial issues. He has had to cut his playing staff often, been unable to hold on to some of his best players (Jennings, Stoneman, Borthwick and Onions have all left) and never breathed a word of complaint about any of it.He has already been linked to a couple of vacant positions at home and abroad – Yorkshire are among those currently recruiting – and leaves the club with a strong track record and good reputation.”We wish Jon all the very best in the future and every success in his next career move,” Durham’s chief executive Tim Bostock said. “Iwould like to thank him for his hard work, dedication and outstanding commitment to Durham. Jon will always be welcome back here at Emirates Riverside.”

Man City owners considering major 2024 move for "generational talent"

Manchester City are ready to battle it out to secure the services of an exciting player alongside their interest in Lucas Paqueta, according to a fresh report.

Lucas Paqueta interest

Over the summer, West Ham United’s Paqueta agreed personal terms to join the club, with the two parties even settling on an £80m fee, but the deal ended up breaking down because he became the subject of an investigation relating to betting breaches.

The Blues, however, are reportedly ready to consider a second approach during the upcoming window should the midfielder have his allegations against him dropped, but it’s not just the centre of the park that Pep Guardiola is looking to bolster next year.

Paris Saint-Germain’s left-winger Kylian Mbappe is set to reach the expiration of his deal at the end of the season (PSG contracts), and with his relationship with chiefs having broken down over links to Real Madrid, it’s expected that he will be on the move. The France international has clearly emerged as Luis Enrique’s overall best-performing player so far this season with a match rating of 7.83 (WhoScored – PSG statistics), and the 24-year-old’s outstanding form has grabbed the attention at the Etihad Stadium.

Man City keen on deal for Kylian Mbappe

According to TEAMtalk, Man City are considering a move for Mbappe, but they aren’t alone in their pursuit with four other clubs also looking to secure his services, three of those being in the Premier League.

TEAMtalk can reveal Real Madrid could face competition from up to four Premier League sides for the signature of Kylian Mbappe, with Manchester City, Newcastle United, Chelsea and Liverpool all interested.

"Man City have the financial capability to offer an incredible deal that would make Mbappe the highest paid player in Premier League history and sources within the club claim a combination of Mbappe and Erling Haaland is tempting to the owners.”

Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe.

Mbappe is a "generational talent"

Since the start of his career, Mbappe has posted an unbelievable 373 contributions, 256 goals and 117 assists, in 339 appearances, which shows just how insanely prolific he can be in the final third, where he also has the versatility to operate everywhere across the frontline (Transfermarkt – Mbappe statistics).

Sponsored by Nike, the forward has also recorded a total of 42 shots over the course of the current campaign which is more than any of his fellow teammates (FBRef – PSG statistics), showing his incessant hunger to hit the back of the net.

The Parc des Princes’ £1.2m-per-week earner (PSG salaries), certainly knows what it takes to compete and be successful at the highest level too, having won the World Cup with France, alongside picking up several individual accolades like Player of the Year and top goalscorer just to name a few.

Mbappe’s outstanding winning mentality and what he can bring to the pitch with his various skills makes him a “generational talent”, according to football scout Jacek Kulig, so this really is a no-brainer of a deal to complete should the opportunity to get it over the line present itself.

Arteta could boldly drop Nketiah by unleashing "clinical" Arsenal star

Arsenal are back in action this evening in the Champions League, as Mikel Arteta’s side look to go within touching distance of the last 16, with Sevilla welcomed to the Emirates.

It’s the fourth fixture of Group B, and with the Gunners sat at the top of the table, a win against Diego Alonso’s side would all but seal the Premier League outfit’s progression into the next round.

Victory will be far from easy, as Arteta will be aware of from their last test in Seville in the match that ended 2-1 to Arsenal, and with key players missing, the Spaniard could be set to shuffle his side once more in the bid to collect three points.

Arsenal team news vs Sevilla

After a disastrous week, the north Londoners will be eager to get back to winning ways, following defeats against West Ham United and Newcastle United in the previous two outings.

Arteta has a host of squad problems to solve ahead of tonight’s showdown at the Emirates, with injuries to key members of the XI hitting hard during the bustling schedule.

In terms of absentees, Emile Smith-Rowe, Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Jurrien Timber will certainly be out of contention for this evening’s fixture, leaving options in the midfield alarmingly thin as the games pile up.

martin-odegaard-arsenal-Henrikh-Mykhitaryan-as-roma-transfer-arteta-edu

To add to the strain in the middle of the park, the manager confirmed in his pre-match press conference that captain, Martin Odegaard, is a doubt as he continues to recover from an underlying hip problem.

Journalist Mark Mann-Bryans noted that Eddie Nketiah was not present in Tuesday’s training session, claiming that the Englishman will undergo a late fitness test to determine his stance ahead of the Champions League challenge.

Luckily for Arteta, the front line is where he has several options to rotate, with one name the ideal replacement for Nketiah, whether he is deemed fit or not.

The stats that show Leandro Trossard must start against Sevilla

Prior to his hat trick against Sheffield United, many were concerned about the 24-year-old’s lack of conviction in the final third, which was noise he silenced with a heroic three-goal display in the Premier League.

Since then, it seems Nketiah has gone back to his usual ways, as highlighted in the table above that displays his form over the two games since Arsenal’s 5-0 dismantling of the Blades.

By dropping the Englishman, or losing him to injury, Arteta could use the opportunity to unleash Leandro Trossard, who has proved a point when in action in the Champions League already this term.

Lauded as “absolutely clinical” by journalist Phil Costa during the Gunners’ opening fixture in the competition, the Belgian needs little opportunity to score, as highlighted by his stellar 50% conversion rate in the Premier League this term.

In Trossard, the manager has an established goal scorer, with a prolific nature when creeping into the box, making him almost impossible to defend against if he is able to get his shot away, while the former Brighton and Hove Albion man can also chip in creatively, having registered ten assists in just 22 games for the Gunners last term – more than Nketiah has achieved in his entire Arsenal career (6).

Regardless of the latter man's fitness status, Arteta must drop the 24-year-old in favour of the £90k-per-week star to promote healthy competition and give the Belgium international the chance to shine once more on the biggest stage.

Com um a menos, Flamengo empata com o Racing na Argentina pelas oitavas de final da Libertadores

MatériaMais Notícias

Racing e Flamengo protagonizaram uma partida tensa, cheia de possibilidades de um placar mais elástico, mas o empate em 1 a 1 no Estádio El Cilindro, em Buenos Aires, deixou tudo em aberto para a volta das oitavas da Libertadores. Fertoli inaugurou o placar para os mandantes, Gabriel Barbosa respondeu aos 14 minutos do primeiro tempo. E parou por aí, mas não por falta de tentativa. Os mandantes tiveram dois gols anulados e o Fla um, todos acertadamente. No fim da partida, o Rubro-Negro se segurou após a expulsão de Thuler aos 36 minutos do 2º tempo.

Com o resultado, o time de Rogério Ceni recebe o Racing na próxima terça-feira, no Maracanã, com uma pequena vantagem: o empate de 0 a 0 garante o Rubro-Negro nas quartas de final da Copa por conta do gol marcado fora de casa. Quem vencer, avança, por sua vez, enquanto um novo empate em 1 a 1 levará a decisão por pênaltis. Qualquer outro empate serve ao time argentino.

RACING EXPLORA FRAGILIDADE DO FLA, QUE RESPONDE COM GABIGOL

Animado por contar com Everton Ribeiro, Arrascaeta, Bruno Henrique e Gabriel Barbosa iniciando uma partida juntos após três meses, o Flamengo se viu com um problema ainda no aquecimento: Isla, com dores na coxa direita, não foi a campo e Rogério Ceni optou por improvisar Renê na lateral direita. Como era de se esperar, a troca fez o time perder ofensividade por aquele lado. Everton Ribeiro, que costuma fazer boa dupla com o chileno, não teve o apoio de Renê.

O maior problema do Rubro-Negro, contudo, foi o mesmo das últimas partidas; a insegurança e as falhas defensivas. Ciente disso, o Racing começou exercendo forte pressão na saída de bola, especialmente em cima de Léo Pereira e Thuler. O início foi problemático para o Flamengo, que viu Fertoli abrir o placar aos 12.

O meia Fabrício Domínguez, aposta certeira de Beccacece para o jogo, deixou Filipe Luís e Gerson para trás e, no vacilo geral da zaga, o camisa 7 do Racing apareceu livre na pequena área para fazer 1 a 0. Diego Alves também vacilou, deixando o espaço entre o seu corpo e a primeira trave, onde a bola passou.

A resposta do Flamengo foi imediata, em lance que fez o torcedor rubro-negro lembrar dos grandes momentos vividos na última temporada. Bruno Henrique arrancou pela esquerda, deixou o marcador para trás e cruzou para Gabigol na área. O camisa 9 não teve dificuldades para empurrar a bola para as redes: 1 a 1 aos 14 minutos. O Racing não conseguiu manter a pressão por todo o tempo, mas seguiu encontrando espaços e foi para o intervalo com mais finalizações (7 a 3), mas, em chutes certos, houve igualdade. Por um lado, Lisandro López fez Diego Alves ir ao chão em cabeçada ao gol, enquanto Bruno Henrique acertou a trave.

SEGUNDO TEMPO DE GOLS ANULADOS

O início da segunda etapa foi como o da primeira: Racing marcando o rival em seu campo de ataque. Contudo, o time de Beccacece “trocou de lado”, percebendo a dificuldade de Renê em fechar a linha de fundo com o pé direito. Aos cinco minutos, em dois cruzamentos de Mena, Lisandro López já havia tido um gol anulado (por falta em Everton Ribeiro) e perdido outra chance clara. Nos dois lances, Léo Pereira e Thuler não conseguiram interceptar os passes.

Pelo Flamengo, quem levou perigo à meta de Arias foi Vitinho, que entrou no lugar de Gabigol aos 11. Contudo, o camisa 11 estava impedido nos dois lances: no primeiro, serviu Arrascaeta que chegou a balançar a rede; no segundo, o goleiro argentino fez boa defesa e espalmou para escanteio, mas já não valia.

A partir dos 25, o Racing aparentou sentir o cansaço. O Flamengo, com maior participação de Everton Ribeiro, Arrascaeta e Vitinho, passou a dominar as ações ofensivas, mas seguiu vacilando lá atrás. O time argentino chegou a marcar o segundo gol, mas impedimento foi assinalado pelo juiz corretamente.

Com a expulsão de Thuler, após revisão no vídeo, Rogério Ceni entendeu que o empate em 1 a 1 estava de bom tamanho, e o Flamengo valorizou o resultado – e o tempo, com três trocas – a partir dos 35, e o Racing não foi capaz de criar mais.

Lancashire and Hampshire brace for relegation battle

ScorecardDivision One strugglers Lancashire and Hampshire played out a high-scoring County Championship draw at Old Trafford, with both now facing the prospect of a relegation fight later this summer.The players shook hands at 4.50pm to confirm the result when the visitors declared on 237 for 5 in their second innings, leading by 277.Opener Joe Weatherley’s unbeaten 126 off 260 balls, which saw him bat through the whole day, represented his maiden first-class hundred.This draw means that both sides leapfrog Yorkshire to leave them second bottom in Division One after they suffered a seven-wicket defeat to leaders Surrey at Scarborough.Yorkshire are four points behind Hampshire and three behind Lancashire, but they have only played seven and have a game in hand on both.At the start of the final day here, James Vince’s side resumed on 66 for 2 – a lead of 106.An attritional morning saw Hampshire add only 69 as bowlers continued to work hard. Allrounder Jordan Clark made the breakthrough in the 12th over of the day when Sam Northeast was bowled for 10.Lancashire had an early lbw decision against Weatherley adjudged not out. In all, he batted for six and a quarter hours, with Hampshire’s second innings starting late on day three.This was his second century for the county, with his first coming against Kent in the Royal London Cup. The 21-year-old had scored three first-class fifties heading into this game, including one against Surrey two rounds ago.After tea, Weatherley and Ian Holland (26 not out) batted through, sharing an unbroken 73 for the sixth wicket to advance from 164 for 5 following the departure of Rilee Rossouw.Lancashire have another relegation battle next up when they welcome Yorkshire to Old Trafford at the end of July for the first of two vital Roses clashes.That will be their final Championship match at the venue this season as the club will be relaying the outfield ahead of next year’s World Cup and the Ashes Test.With the Vitality Blast on the horizon, Hampshire will have to wait until August 19 to play Championship cricket again when they will take on Nottinghamshire at home.For now, though, their attention will turn towards Lord’s when they will welcome back Dale Steyn, who was rested from this fixture.Liam Dawson will also be back amidst his stint with the England Lions, for whom he taken eight wickets in three one-day matches against the A teams of India and the West Indies over the last week.
