The Australian has won trophies in his second year at various clubs during his career, however, that is in the balance with Tottenham. The Europa League is the only silverware Spurs can win between now and the end of the campaign and are set to take on Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-finals next month.
However, there have been claims that Tottenham could still sack Postecoglou even if they win the Europa League, with a plethora of managers linked with moves to Spurs.
Andoni Iraola of Bournemouth and Fulham’s Marco Silva have both been mooted as potential targets for Tottenham, however, those behind the scenes look on course to make their first player signing ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Tottenham in pole position to sign Angel Gomes for free
According to Football Insider, Tottenham are leading the race to sign Angel Gomes on a free transfer when his Lille contract expires.
Spurs appear to be closing in on a deal and are in pole position for the 24-year-old midfielder, who won his first cap for England towards the end of 2024.
Gomes, who has turned down an offer to join West Ham, also has interest from clubs in France, Spain and Germany, however, a move to Tottenham appears to be on the cards.
This comes after Football Insider expert and ex-scout Mick Brown claimed that Spurs have already held talks to secure Gomes’ services.
“I think Gomes would be a good fit for them on a free transfer. From what I hear as well, the manager likes what he’s seen from him, so it’s one that makes a lot of sense.
“He’ll know how he sees him fitting into the side, what he wants him to do and how he wants him to play. They’ll already be speaking to his agent and representatives about a deal because they’re not the only club interested – we’ve spoken about West Ham already.
“So they’ll want to convince him that Tottenham is the right move for his career.”

He’d be a high-profile departure.

Capable of playing as a holding, central or attacking midfielder, Gomes, who has been called “special”, has made 20 appearances for Lille in all competitions in 2024/25.
Now, five years on after leaving Man Utd, a move back to England with Spurs looks likely for Gomes following this update.
He will now head home for further assessment
ESPNcricinfo staff02-Apr-2023Gujarat Titans batter Kane Williamson has been ruled out of IPL 2023 with a knee injury he had sustained in the opening game of the tournament, against Chennai Super Kings in Ahmedabad.Williamson will head home next week and be seen by relevant medical specialists to establish a treatment plan, according to NZC.”It is sad to lose Kane to injury so early in the tournament. We wish him a speedy recovery, with the hope of seeing him in action very soon,” Titans’ director of cricket Vikram Solanki, said in a statement.In what was his debut game for Titans, Williamson had landed awkwardly – with his right knee buckling under his weight – while attempting a catch at the deep square leg boundary in the 13th over of Super Kings’ innings. He had leapt to intercept a ball headed for six off Ruturaj Gaikwad’s bat. He managed to save two runs, palming the ball into the field of play before it bounced onto the boundary boards, but by that point Williamson was on the ground clutching his right knee.Despite receiving treatment for some time, he could not return to the field, with Titans bringing B Sai Sudharsan on as substitute fielder first and later swapping the two in the XI via the new Impact Player rule.It remains to be seen for how much longer after the IPL Williamson will be out of action, but New Zealand coach Gary Stead had called the injury “a big blow” for Williamson and the team. New Zealand are currently playing T20Is against Sri Lanka at home after the Tests and ODIs, and will then fly to Pakistan for five T20Is and as many ODIs. Williamson was missing both those tours for his participation in the IPL.Williamson had only recently fully recovered from a long-standing elbow injury, which had plagued him over the past two years.

Rishabh Pant is out of the ICU, but the extent of injuries on his knee, toe and ankle is not yet known as he is still not in shape to go through MRI scans.Pant was on his way from Delhi to see his mother in Roorkee in Uttarakhand when his car crashed into a road divider on December 30. He miraculously escaped without life-threatening injuries even as the car went up in flames.After immediate emergency care in Roorkee, Pant was moved to Max Hospital in Dehradun where he currently awaits discharge in a private ward. The BCCI has formed a panel of its own doctors who are in touch with the doctors at the Dehradun hospital. The line of treatment is being determined by both panels in unison.Related

Preliminary scans were done on December 30 to eliminate brain and spine injuries, but the scans on the knee and foot were held back because of the pain and swelling. Also, plastic surgery was performed to treat lacerative and abrasion wounds and facial injuries. However, the pending MRI has not yet been performed.The BCCI is hopeful Pant gets discharged and is fit to travel in the coming two to three days so that its panel of doctors can start determining the extent of the two suspected ligament tears as early as possible. It is not yet known if the injuries will require a surgery or just rehab. It is too early to think of a timeframe in which he can come back to athletic activity first and then top-flight cricket.

Hardik: Pant ‘would have made a big difference’ against Sri Lanka
“What happened is very unfortunate, no one has control over it. As a team we wish him all the best, our love and prayers are always with him,” Hardik Pandya, India’s captain for the T20I series against Sri Lanka which starts on Tuesday, told reporters. “Wish him a speedy recovery. Obviously, he was a very important part of the team, now everyone knows the situation and lot of other people can get opportunities.”Yes, Pant, if he was also there, he would have made a big difference because of the player he is, but now he is not there so we can’t control it. We will see what the future holds for us.”India’s three big assignments in 2023 are the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (Tests against Australia) in India in February-March, a possible World Test Championship final in England in their summer, and the ODI World Cup in India’s early winter.Pant’s chances of making it to the first of these are slim although it can’t quite be ruled out. The other big event for Pant will be the IPL where he captains Delhi Capitals.
India batter Shubman Gill is open to batting in the middle order in limited-overs format and emphasised the importance of reducing dot balls in T20 cricket by relying more on rotating strike against spin. While Gill has been a regular in India’s Test setup, he is yet to make his T20I debut and is on the fringes of the ODI squad. In the absence of the first-choice top-order players in Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli, Gill opened the batting with Shikhar Dhawan in seven of the nine 50-over matches he played this year against West Indies, Zimbabwe and South Africa.”I believe that the fewer dot balls you play in T20s, the better your strike rate will be”, Gill told ESPNcricinfo ahead of Punjab’s preliminary quarter-final match against Haryana in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. “Almost all batsmen have the same boundary percentage, but the ones with fewer dot balls have a higher strike rate. In T20s, you need to know what the bowler is trying to do. Those who bowl in a set way, you can dominate them.Related

“My game all-round is very good and I rotate the strike well against spinners. So even if I get a chance in the middle order, I am ready for that. If they [the team management] are looking at me in the middle order, then I am ready for it. When I scored that hundred in Zimbabwe, I was batting at one down, I didn’t open. So one down or two down, whatever the team needs, I am ready.”Gill also reflected on his maiden county stint with Glamorgan, where he scored 244 runs, including a century and a half-century, in three matches. He said that a good start cannot be taken for granted in England, unlike in India.”In England, you have to concentrate all the time,” he said. “In those conditions, sometimes you feel you are set, but one spell can throw you off. It’s not like that in India. Here once you reach 40-50, there is a pattern to bat. There is no such pattern in England. You could be batting at 110 and are still not set. No matter what score you are on, you have to be careful [on] every ball.””You get a different type of confidence when you do well in red-ball cricket”•Getty Images
Gill has only played one of his 21 Test innings as a non-opener. In order to get more opportunities in the Indian Test side, he is willing to move down the order, too. While he is confident of his technique in red-ball cricket, Gill is aware of his concentration wavering when he is in flow.”The red-ball format is very important to me,” he said. “You get a different type of confidence when you do well in red-ball cricket. I am ready to bat wherever there’s a vacant spot in the side.”I don’t think there is anything wrong with my technique. When your concentration is disturbed, or you relax a little bit, and then if a good ball comes, you miss it. I think it always happens with me that I am batting well and then I get out.”There is no phase where I get out after I am constantly beaten. I think it [dismissal] is because of lapse in concentration. When a batsman is struggling, he is more alert. With me, sometimes it’s the other way round. I fail to keep my concentration going when I’m batting well.”
Having rediscovered his mojo in the Asia Cup with back-to-back fifties, Kohli says “what happens in the change room is the only thing that matters”

Uthappa: Kohli looked ominous from the first boundary he hit
Virat Kohli let his magical wrists take over, and a 150kph delivery from Mohammad Hasnain went sailing over deep midwicket. It was his half-century – his second in a row – off 36 balls, in the 18th over, and the Indian dressing room was on its feet.Only a week ago, in his 100th T20I, also against Pakistan, Kohli had been scratchy. A thick edge was dropped in the slips second ball he faced, inside-edges rolled past the stumps, lofted hits landed in no-man’s land, top edges flew to the boundary, and attempted drives ended up only being sliced. But this Sunday was different. The fluency was there, and the timing from the get-go was all there.Related

The second delivery he faced, a short one from Shadab Khan in the seventh over of the innings, Kohli picked the length early and rocked back to hammer a pull between wide long-one and deep midwicket. In the 11th, he swivelled – head right over the ball, wrists on top of the bounce – to wallop Hasnain to the square-leg boundary. Naseem Shah wasn’t spared either. His first delivery to Kohli was slapped to the cover-point boundary after the batter made room by moving to leg and going down the pitch.Kohli was in his element. The fall of wickets wasn’t going to alter his tempo, especially since he had come to grips with the surface early. Prior to the match, head coach Rahul Dravid had touched upon the importance of assessing conditions quickly and aiming for above-par scores. It was clear this surface didn’t grip as much and with one boundary at just 62 metres, India had to give themselves the cushion of a big score.But from being ultra-aggressive, Kohli had to slow down in the second half of his innings because of the rush of wickets, which he later said was the difference between getting to 200 and stopping at 181. But he did give a peek into the team’s mindset when he said the loss of wickets in the middle overs in pushing for “20-25 extra” wasn’t a worry, because when it does come off, it will make a difference.”If you’ve seen the way we’ve been playing, it’s given us the results we need, and in our middle overs, the run rate has also improved,” Kohli said of India’s approach. “It’s something I, as a batsman, really took keen notice of, and I knew that is one area we need to keep improving on. We’ve spoken about this that sometimes it won’t come off, the way you want and today, we lost a few wickets in the middle phase which didn’t allow us to go towards the 200 target.
“The camaraderie with the boys is amazing. The environment within the team is amazing, so I’m absolutely loving playing at the moment all over again and feeling good the way I’m batting”Kohli
“Because after [Deepak] Hooda and me, it was Bhuvi [Bhuvneshwar Kumar], so the bowlers were to follow. That makes a bit of a difference, but we do possess the skills to analyse the situation and play accordingly as well. But given the situation, if we had a couple of wickets in hand, we could’ve got more runs. We’re not disturbed by losing wickets through the middle overs, because that’s the way we want to play. We want to be able to get those 20-25 extra runs that can eventually make the difference in big games.”Kohli explained that much of his slowdown in the second half was dictated by the batting firepower left. He was forced to delay the big hits, since India were also faced with the danger of running out of recognised batters in the death overs.”Today I was making a conscious effort to strike at a higher pace,” he said. “When we lost wickets, there was communication and our plans changed, where I had to bat till the 18th with Hooda. If there were a couple of batters, I would’ve gone with the same tempo and tried to hit more boundaries or sixes. But again, I ended up being in a situation where I had to go deep.”I thought Haris Rauf bowled a great last over. He nailed those slower balls and yorkers, with that pace when you execute, it’s always difficult to get it away. I’m going to continue – especially batting first – to bat the [same] way, trying to take the game on and stay ahead of the asking rate, understanding the conditions and just bat freely. As long as I am in a good space and confident of my batting, I know I can bat in many ways. It’s just about getting back into the groove and getting confident with how you’re playing and once that happens then the situation dictates how you need to play.”4:13
Kohli on answering his critics: I’ve never paid attention to these things
Having made two half-centuries in a row and a 35 earlier, Kohli is now the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament so far – 154 runs in three innings at a strike rate of 126.22 – behind Mohammad Rizwan. It was inevitable that he’d be asked about his form and silencing critics. Kohli underlined the importance of finding excitement and joy in batting as a big factor.”I’ve never paid attention to these things [external criticism], to be honest,” he said. “I’ve played for 14 years; it doesn’t happen by chance. My job is to work hard on my game, something I’m always keen to do. Keen to improve my game for the team. That’s something I’m going to continue to do so.”Everyone’s doing their job eventually. Our job is to play the game, work hard, give our 120%, and I’ve said it in the past that as long as I am doing that and the team has faith in that, what happens in the change room is the only thing that matters to us and to me as well personally.”People have their opinions and that’s absolutely fine, that doesn’t change my happiness as a person. I’ve taken some time away, put things into perspective, it’s given me the relaxation that this isn’t the be-all-and-end-all of life, I need to enjoy the game. I can’t put myself under so much pressure of expectation that I’m not able to express myself. That is not why I started playing this game. I was able to find that excitement back, when I came here, the environment was very welcoming. The camaraderie with the boys is amazing. The environment within the team is amazing, so I’m absolutely loving playing at the moment all over again and feeling good the way I’m batting.”
Joey Evison, the successor to “Stevo”, also impresses as Leicestershire fall well short
David Hopps26-Aug-2022Put those Darren Stevens retirement stories away for a moment because he is not quite finished yet. A return to Leicestershire, the county where his career began, felt like a fairytale ending – only he has no intention to end. Influential contributions with bat and ball helped give Kent an 82-run win in this Royal London Cup play-off and now takes them to a semi-final tie against Hampshire at the Ageas Bowl on Tuesday.If Stevens’ intervention with the bat felt entirely predictable – 41 from 24 balls with The Meet Café & Bar at deep midwicket fearing partial demolition from his wrecking ball – his bowling spell was a bonus. Ten overs in mid-innings for 37 runs felt as if Leicestershire had taken their largesse too far as he was met conservatively throughout. It was canny stuff but perhaps not that canny. He had a towel down before his final over, as if determined to see the job through, and suitably somebody should have brought him out a little stool to sit on while they did it.Grace Road is one of the quieter grounds on the circuit, even in their first home knockout tie for 11 years, but sporadic cries of “Stevo” punctuated the day, often for no specific reason. Perhaps some of them came from Leicestershire supporters who would like him to return for a final year. Coincidentally that knockout tie was also against Kent when Paul Nixon, now their head coach, made 31 in a three-wicket win. Considering the ECB’s machinations, it’s a toss-up who is most likely still to be around another 11 years from now – Leicestershire or Stevens.His last ball should have been the perfect finish. Scott Steel, who fulfilled the anchor role for Leicestershire much as Ben Compton had done previously for Kent, risked a leg-side pick-up, but it fell to the 12th man, James Logan, on the half volley and trundled for four. By the time Logan left the field, his duties complete, Stevens’ hands were still on hips in mild-mannered exasperation, but his job had been done.Leicestershire still needed 196 from 21 at 9.33 an over at that point and even though they had seven wickets left they never really made contact with it. A flurry of runs and then Steel swung rather mindlessly at a short ball from Nathan Gilchrist to sky one straight up in the air and fall for 65 from 94 balls.The batter who might have turned the tie for Leicestershire was Wiaan Mulder, their South African allrounder, one of the driving forces behind their play-offs place. Mulder made 81 from 71, his innings ending when he was bowled by a delivery that jagged back substantially, and low, from Joey Evison, who suitably is the young allrounder positioned to fill Stevens’ shoes. Nobody sang “Joey” in homage, even though he had earlier made an excellent half-century, but as Stevens has already recognised, he is a player of considerable promise and can write his own tunes.Related

Kent’s early incursions came through Harry Podmore, whose career has been so curtailed by injury that a decade after his county debut for Middlesex he was playing only his 99th match across all formats. That he was fit and firing after recovering from severe side and knee injuries was a considerable bonus. His first wicket was a bit of a gimme as Nicky Welch slapped him to point, but he bowled Rishi Patel and Lous Kimber with excellent deliveries that seamed back through the gate. Grant Stewart made short shrift of the tail to finish with 4 for 42. Kent had been helped a little by the fact that the surface died a little as the game progressed, but as Nixon agreed, Leicestershire did not lift their game when most needed.Stevens’ innings had been marked by a succession of flat bats with Ed Barnes conceding three of his four sixes, enough for Barnes to finish with undistinguished figures of 2 for 75 in eight overs, his mood uplifted by two good wickets. Leicestershire set two short thirds to him and appeared to have a theory, but it didn’t come off. Predictably, he eventually fell short at deep midwicket and a repair bill for The Meet was avoided after all. It was another South African who carried Leicestershire’s fight with the ball, Beuran Hendricks, a lithe left-armer who is more slippery than he looks, was the bwler who silenced Stevens and he was the pick of their attack with 2 for 35.Half-centuries from Evison and Compton in an opening stand of 95 in 18 overs handed Kent an initiative that they never relinquished. Evison drove Kimber from the attack with three sixes in two overs between straight and long-on before he was dismissed trying to sweep Steel; Compton, his off stump clipped by Mulder as he played defensively, made 56 from 80 balls with only four boundaries and was probably out at a perfect time, although he loves batting so might not think so. A third Kent half-century, this time from Joe Denly, kept Leicestershire at bay.
Beth Mooney hits 97 not out on Hundred debut but London Spirit slip to defeat
Cameron Ponsonby12-Aug-2022

Danni Wyatt’s brutal 65 off 34 balls led Southern Brave to a six-wicket victory against London Spirit and spoiled Beth Mooney’s party after the Australian opener had earlier scored a women’s competition-best of 97 not out off 55 balls.In the absence of the injured Heather Knight, 21-year-old Charlie Dean took the reins of Spirit and after winning her first toss elected to bat. Her decision looked to be a good one as Mooney played with the confidence of a player fresh off a match-winning innings in the Commonwealth Games final and led Spirit to 155, the second-highest score in the history of the Hundred, men’s or women’s.However, Spirit’s total still carried a touch of frustration with it. With 22 balls to go, Spirit were 123 for 1 and looking at at least 160, only for Amanda Jade-Wellington to strike three times in the closing stage of the innings.In reply, Wyatt and Smriti Mandhana wrestled the momentum back for the home side with Wyatt in particular taking a liking to Freya Davies, striking five boundaries off her two sets of five in the powerplay.Brave had a small wobble as they lost two wickets in three balls with 60 still required, but Sophia Dunkley would ice the chase with a composed 34 not out off 25 balls to see Brave complete the highest successful chase in the women’s competition with six balls still to spare.Mooney masterclass
Mooney loves the big occasion. In 2020, she struck 78 off 54 balls in the T20 World Cup final. In 2021, she was named as Wisden’s leading female cricketer in the world. And in 2022, she scored 61 off 41 in the Commonwealth Games gold-medal match.Five days on from her match-winning antics in one final, she was setting more records in her first appearance in the Hundred, striking the highest score in the history of the women’s competition as she made 97 not out off of just 55 balls. An altogether record-breaking achievement – or, as Mooney calls it, Friday.Brave tried their best to bowl neither too wide nor too straight at Mooney, with all of Lauren Bell, Anya Shrubsole and Molly Strano starting by bowling over the wicket to the left-hander, with each of their natural actions pushing the ball across her.The plans, however, didn’t work. When Brave got too straight, Mooney bludgeoned them through the leg side. And when they weren’t erring one way, Mooney was forcing them to err to the other, giving herself space to drive through cover or walking across and pulling or sweeping over to the leg side.Mooney was forcing Brave to bowl on a tightrope. A thin line of safety, which if missed, led to a fast and ugly demise.ESPNcricinfo Ltd
Wyatt wins out
Such was the quality of Mooney’s innings that Wyatt was never likely to steal her thunder, but she did at least ruin her party. The two innings were off contrasting styles but equal in their effectiveness. Where Mooney looked to target the extra-cover boundary, Wyatt hammered and swept the ball over long-on and cow corner.Wyatt’s 34-ball innings contained 14 boundaries, finding the fence in consecutive deliveries on four occasions. Had she not been run out by her batting partner Dunkley with 45 balls of the innings still remaining, Wyatt may well now be boasting the record of having scored the first-ever century in the women’s Hundred.Spirit’s fielding needing a prayer
For all the quality of Brave’s batting line-up, Spirit had much of themselves to blame for the flow of runs with a poor showing in the field.Related

Naomi Dattani dropped a simple chance to get rid of Mandhana off the bowling of Dean, before the following ball went through the legs of cover for four. A series of unfortunate events that at least gave the new skipper the chance to debut her poker face, however unconvincing.Another simple misfield on the boundary gifted Brave four more not long after, before it looked as if Spirit had managed to save the day for themselves when Amelia Kerr executed a fantastic, diving direct-hit run-out to remove Wyatt and tip the game in their favour.However, it didn’t prove to be the catalyst that Spirit had hoped, as the otherwise-perfect Mooney wavered. She missed a simple run-out chance that would’ve seen the back of Georgia Adams and seen Brave four down with 49 still required off 35 balls.Runs galore
Last season’s women’s Hundred featured just six scores north of 140. Just two games into this year and we have already had four, with the hot summer contributing to fast outfields and general misery for those standing in the field. Expect more of the same.
