Jackson Bird’s 11 wickets took Tasmania to a six-wicket victory over South Australia in their Sheffield Shield match at Adelaide Oval after the hosts fell in a heap to the second new ball just when they appeared to have scrapped their way to a position from which a draw was likely.Jake Weatherald’s first century of a hitherto wretched season, accompanied by half-centuries for Travis Head and Callum Ferguson, pushed the Redbacks to 3 for 298 approaching tea, a lead nearing 100 and overs running out for the Tigers.However, the introduction of the second new ball, well utilised by Bird and Tom Rogers, ushered a shattering collapse for SA, as seven wickets fell for 21 runs in 50 balls, including the last six for three runs in 21 balls following Weatherald’s exit. SA’s injured last man Chadd Sayers was granted a runner by Tigers’ captain Matthew Wade.Bird’s performance, extracting plenty of swing and nip from the Dukes ball, gave him 38 victims at 19.10 in the Shield so far this season, as he continued to press his claims for a place in the Australian Ashes touring squad after he made the trip in 2013.Left with a target of 110 to win with plenty of overs in hand, the visitors strode to outright points for the loss of Alex Doolan, Jordan Silk, Wade and Charlie Wakim, the debutant whose first-innings century had set the Tigers up to pressure the Redbacks into defeat, to continue their push for a place in the tournament final.

Arsenal considering bid to sign £100k-p/w star, Arteta thinks he’s perfect

Arsenal are considering an "official" offer to sign one club's £100,000-per-week star, with manager Mikel Arteta thinking he's perfect for them.

Arsenal chasing new midfield signing for January

Despite having to operate under some constraints, with Financial Fair Play being a concern and the budget somewhat limited after a lavish summer of spending (Miguel Delaney), Arsenal are still keen to bolster their ranks in January.

The Gunners are finally becoming active.

Fabrizio Romano recently claimed Arsenal signing a new right-back is a possibility this transfer window, while other media sources suggest they haven't given up on their chase for a new midfield signing.

Thomas Partey's injury problems have been a thorn in Arteta's side this season, so much so that Arsenal have been linked with the likes of Aston Villa star Douglas Luiz in the build up to January.

The Brazilian looks unattainable, though, given his star presence as Unai Emery's side look to secure a coveted top four Premier League place.

Alternative options are being mooted by sections of the press, with Belgian journalist Amadou Onana claiming this week that Arsenal have even opened talks to sign Everton star Amadou Onana.

According to the reporter, Onana is keen on joining Arteta in January, and this is a transfer which could develop fairly quickly.

Following Tavolieri's claim, a separate report from Belgium has backed up Arsenal's talks for Onana, while sharing their own bit of detail on the potential transfer.

Arsenal plotting "official" Onana bid

Indeed, According to news outlet Nieuwsblad, Arsenal are considering an official bid for Onana and Arteta is personally "very charmed" by him. The Gunners head coach apparently sees him as the "ideal reinforcement" for Arsenal's midfield, given his pace, power, physicality and good feet.

Everton midfielder Amadou Onana.

They back that talks have been opened over the 22-year-old, with Arsenal pushing for Onana's signature and serious about bringing him in. However, the Toffees are believed to be demanding around £52 million to let him go mid-season.

On around £100,000-per-week (SpotRac), Onana is a star player at Everton, having played 16 league games under Sean Dyche as a mainstay of his midfield.

Former Belgium boss Roberto Martinez has also called the 6 foot 3 powerhouse a real one to watch.

“I know that sometimes when we speak about players, it’s very difficult to measure their potential," said Martinez in 2022.

"I think we are talking about a 20-year-old boy, who is probably one of the most talented at that age in European football, and that’s how excited we are in Belgium."

Baseado nisso, a gente precisa de um goleiro com uma boa saída com os pés.

West Ham are contending for a European place yet again this season, testament to the fine job Moyes has done since taking over for a second stint at the helm in 2020. However, their pursuit of the top four is threatened by a serious lack of depth, with star midfielder Lucas Paqueta expected to be out for around two months.

Jarrod Bowen, who has been West Ham's player of the season so far, could also be sidelined for up to three weeks after the Englishman and Paqueta hobbled off during in an FA Cup match against Bristol City last weekend. They join striker Michail Antonio on the sidelines, while summer signing Kudus is currently away at the Africa Cup of Nations with Ghana.

As a result of these blows, Moyes and his West Ham recruitment team are working on signing a new forward. The Hammers have been linked with a plethora of forwards lately, including Ajax star Steven Bergwijn, Sunderland winger Jack Clarke, AZ Alkmaar striker Vangelis Pavlidis and others.

Another interesting name to have emerged is Feyenoord sensation Santiago Gimenez, who is currently enjoying the season of his life in the Eredivisie.

West Ham talks "taking place" to sign Gimenez

Now, according to Football Insider and journalist Pete O'Rourke, West Ham talks are "taking place" to sign Gimenez as Moyes actively pursues a new number nine.

It is believed they're "very interested" in the Mexico international, who Football Transfers claim is "similar" to Kudus among others, with West Ham now "stepping up" their chase for Gimenez.

"He’s back here in the middle of the defenders and he’s really fast," said Kuyt after one of the striker's outings. "Watching the keeper before he shoots, the rest. In my opinion, he is currently the best striker in the Eredivisie."

أسطورة فرنسا ينتقد مبابي: لم يعد يخيف دفاعات الخصوم

وجه أسطورة منتخب فرنسا، بيسنتي ليزارازو، انتقادات قاسية تجاه قائد الديوك الحالي، كيليان مبابي، بسبب انخفاض مستواه الفني خلال الفترة الماضية.

ولم يظهر مبابي بالشكل المطلوب منه خلال مباراة إيطاليا بالجولة الأولى من دور المجموعات لبطولة دوري الأمم الأوروبية وخسر الديوك على أرضهم بنتيجة 3-1.

وتحدث ليزارازو عن رأيه في مستوى مبابي خلال حواره مع صحيفة “ليكيب” الفرنسية، وقال: “إنه لا يزال هدافًا جيدًا، لكنه لم يعد يخيف الدفاعات كما كان من قبل”.

وتابع: “أفضل أداء ظهر عليه مبابي كان خلال بطولة كأس العالم 2022 في قطر، هناك لحظات عليك فيها إعادة التركيز على نفسك”.

واستمر: “كلاعب ستواجه الكثير من الصعوبات خلال مسيرتك، أعتقد أن مبابي يمر بهذه الفترة بالوقت الحالي”.

ولم يسجل مبابي مع فرنسا منذ مباراة بولندا في يورو 2024 وكانت في دور المجموعات من ركلة جزاء، لكنه صنع هدفًا أمام إسبانيا في نصف النهائي.

How the Mohali dew affected Kings XI Punjab's strategy against Sunrisers Hyderabad

From R Ashwin’s choice of new-ball bowler to KL Rahul’s advice on batting, the conditions played a big role in everything

ESPNcricinfo staff08-Apr-20193:02

My role is to bowl at any stage of the match – Sandeep Sharma

A David Warner misfield at long-on, followed by a slip as he tried to retrieve the ball that allowed a second. That’s how the game ended in Mohali, with Kings XI Punjab chasing down 151 with six wickets and a ball to spare. That slip was down to the dew, which played a big role in the match.Sunrisers Hyderabad’s stand-in captain Bhuvneshwar Kumar agreed about the dew issue, saying after the game: “The way we bowled, I’m really happy given the dew.” But, he admitted, he was also a little disappointed to lose after getting so close.It didn’t look like it would get close when, at the start of the 18th over of the chase, Kings XI needed 19 with KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal batting on fifty-plus scores the partnership stood at 114.That’s when Agarwal swatted one to hole out at deep midwicket, and just like that the pressure was on. “Well, somebody had to take a chance, it was 18 balls 19 (needed) and you know we were thinking if we can get two big hits, we should be through,” Agarwal told host broadcaster . “But I guess we didn’t pull it off.”BCCI

Two more quick wickets fell, and by the start of the 20th, Kings XI needed 11, with Sam Curran facing up to the experienced Mohammad Nabi for his first ball. Rahul, at the other end, was hoping Curran did not try anything too rash, given the ball was “skidding through” due to the dew.”It was simple, he had to look for the boundaries. But I did tell him that maybe hitting sixes was a bit difficult because the ball kept skidding through and you couldn’t get elevation,” Rahul said. “So I said, ‘look to hit the pockets, maybe get fours’, because we’re not too far behind, we don’t need 16 or 17 runs, we just need 11. He came out, still tried to hit a six, luckily for us went in the gap, scored a few twos and (I) could strike that boundary at the end.”Game over, but some would argue it was sealed much earlier, in the first ten overs of the match. R Ashwin inserted Sunrisers with the imminent dew at the front of his mind, and they could manage just 50 runs in the first half of their innings. Much of that was down to mystery spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman removing the in-form Jonny Bairstow in his first over, the second of the innings.Going into the game, Ashwin had admitted that he was hoping to lose the toss but considering how the conditions turned out, he conceded that it was indeed a useful toss to win.”Maybe it’s a good toss to win but in hindsight, I think we also defended most of the games playing in Mohali,” he told his team-mate Rahul on . “I genuinely wanted to lose the toss today but as soon as I landed at the ground today I thought the wicket was a bit tacky so it was a good toss.”He also added that the nail-biting finish was too much for him to handle. “I had my heart in my mouth as well. Going into the playoffs if you said [we need] 11 runs to win off one over I’ll just sit little easy at the dugout. In this game it looked like we had it under wraps and then we lost three wickets together. It was a very close game. Too close for my comfort.”The dew, and Bairstow’s issues against spin, made the decision to bowl Mujeeb early an easy one, Ashwin said. “It was always in our plans, because Mujeeb knows Mohali really well. Sometimes, Mohali, as a spinner, (it feels) lopsided. Because you don’t get enough out of the pitch, there’s a lot of dew, the outfield’s brilliant, the pitch is great (to bat on)… So as a spinner you need to know what sort of lengths and what sort of speeds you should be bowling at.”It’s very important with the dew that you do use the spinner with the new ball, and someone like Mujeeb has done it all through is career, he’s just bowled with the new ball for Afghanistan all his life. He’s very comfortable bowling with the new ball, so I thought, especially because of Jonny Bairstow up there, if he can get the ball to come in or bowl the googly it was a good match-up.”Warner batted through the innings at the other end, even if he wasn’t at his most explosive, and Sunrisers finished with 150 – “20 runs short because there was dew,” according to Bhuvneshwar.Rahul and Agarwal then took charge of the chase. Rahul made a third half-century in four innings – a timely run of form, given India’s World Cup squad announcement is a week away. Agarwal’s was his second fifty of the tournament, and his second sizeable stand with Rahul after 64 against Mumbai Indians.Rahul said Agarwal’s approach helped him settle in. “Mayank and I (both play for Karnataka in domestic cricket) have grown up playing together, so we have that understanding and we enjoy playing with each other.”The way Mayank came out… throughout the six games he’s come out with a very positive attitude, even against Mumbai he did the same thing. So it gives me a little bit of time.”However, on the downside for Kings XI, Agarwal picked up a niggle along the way. Rahul said: “Need to bring this up, he hurt his finger and I don’t know the extent of the injury but he came out and his top hand wasn’t, you know… he was in pain, so to play an innings like that was incredible.”

Fabrizio Romano drops big update on Bruno Guimaraes’ Newcastle future

The future of Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes has been a big talking point of late, and Fabrizio Romano has dropped a new update regarding what could happen with him.

Rumours of Bruno Guimaraes leaving Newcastle

The Brazilian has been a fantastic signing from the moment he arrived at St James' Park two years ago, instantly becoming one of the most popular figures at the club. Not only has he provided so much quality, but he has brought fight to Eddie Howe's side making him a favourite among the supporters.

Worryingly, however, constant rumours in recent times have suggested that Bruno could be on the move soon, with a summer exit mooted in some quarters. Barcelona have arguably emerged as the favourites to sign the 26-year-old, but Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are also seen as potential suitors for him.

This seems to be partly down to Newcastle's financial situation, with a big player possibly needing to be sold in order to adhere to Financial Fair Play (FFP) rulings, but it could also be that the Brazil international wants a fresh challenge, particularly if his side miss out on Champions League football.

Fabrizio Romano drops new Bruno Guimaraes update

However, speaking to Caught Offside, Romano claimed that Bruno doesn't want to leave Newcastle in the near future, contrary to some reports doing the rounds.

Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes.

“Despite rumours, nothing is clear now on Bruno Guimaraes. Bruno has not decided to leave, there’s nothing decided in terms of price, all reports on Spanish clubs are not confirmed just because time for decisions is not now. Bruno is expected to stay in January and then in the next months we will see what happens."

This has to be considered good news for Newcastle, with the idea of losing Bruno in January something that doesn't bear thinking about, let alone in the summer. Sandro Tonali's 10-match ban has already made Howe's midfield look light on options, and seeing arguably their best player in the middle of the park leave midway through the season would be a crushing blow.

It may be that the Magpies hero ends up looking for a new club at the end of the season, especially if no European football has been achieved at St James', but it is encouraging to hear that he is seemingly happy for the time being.

Bruno's importance to this Newcastle side cannot be downplayed, and his best years could still be to come, and the fact that Casemiro has lauded him recently speaks volumes, with his compatriot saying:

"Bruno is a player who has been doing an exceptional job at Newcastle. With every workout and every game I’m more comfortable with him. He is a great player, who has been demonstrating this in the most difficult competition in the world."

Barcelona will refuse to sell in-demand star to Premier League suitors

Newcastle need reinforcements in the transfer window after an injury-hit campaign.

ByTom Cunningham Jan 12, 2024

Newcastle simply must do everything they can to convince Bruno that he should stay put, while at the same time hoping that FFP doesn't force them into a high-profile sale.
