Spurs News: Mourinho to battle Everton for Bundesliga star

Jose Mourinho is targeting Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey, though he faces tough competition from Everton who are also after the Jamaica international.

Both clubs are going to be watching the in-demand player during Leverkusen’s Europa League tie with Rangers tonight, according to football.london.

Bailey has previous been linked with a move to the Premier League, specifically with Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool, who are thought to have moved on now.

According to Die Werkself – a German media outlet, Leverkusen would be willing to sell the 22-year old this summer if a suitable offer is made for him. In the past, Bailey has been valued at around €40m, and has stated that it would be a dream for him if he was to play football in England.

During the 2019-20 Bundesliga season, Bailey made 31 appearances – scoring seven goals and assisting three. He signed from Genk three years ago for £11.5m, and since been proven as an asset for the Germans.

The young star has recently switched to an English agent – Aidy Ward. This means Bailey shares the same agent with Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling.

Both Spurs and Everton are rebuilding their squads in order to compete for Champions League football next campaign, though Spurs look the most likely to sign the Jamaican winger with the attraction of playing in the Europa League.

Bailey would make big Premier League impact

Bailey would be a great addition to both Spurs and Everton. The winger has lots of potential at just 22-years-of-age, and has experienced regular European football, in addition to competing at a high level in the Bundesliga.

The young Jamaican will be the perfect fit for both clubs on the left-hand side as they have equally struggled for finding a week-in-week-out performing winger. With Son Heung-min on the left side for Spurs already, Bailey would be a better fit at Everton, though Son is versatile enough to switch wings or even play as a centre-forward.

Corinthians pode ter a melhor campanha dos pontos corridos

MatériaMais Notícias

A vitória contundente por 3 a 0 sobre o Atlético-MG no Independência praticamente garantiu o título do Brasileirão 2015 ao Corinthians. Com 11 pontos de vantagem em 15 em disputa, o Timão pode garantir o troféu já na próxima rodada contra o Coritiba, na Arena.

Com as ‘duas mãos na taça’, como disseram alguns corintianos, o time de Tite vai agora atrás de recordes no torneio. O principal deles é a marca de 80 pontos do Cruzeiro em 2014, maior da história dos pontos corridos com 20 clubes.

Com 73 pontos, o Timão precisa de apenas sete pontos para igualar o feito da Raposa e pelo futebol apresentado, não parece nada impossível. Se vencer os cinco jogos, o Corinthians atingirá a marca de 88 pontos.

A campanha atual já superou a do título de 2011 e já é a sétima melhor desde 2006, quando 20 clubes passaram a disputar o troféu. Com mais três triunfos, O Corinthians alcança ainda a marca inédita de 25 vitórias.

A segunda melhor pontuação de um time no Brasileiro no período é do São Paulo de 2006, que fez 78 pontos com Muricy Ramalho. No ano seguinte, o Tricolor repetiu a dose, mas com 77 pontos. Mesma pontuação do Fluminense campeão em2012.

Dos campeões desde 2006, apenas Flamengo (2009) e Fluminense (2010) não estão no top-10 de maiores pontuações. Atlético-MG e Grêmio, por outro lado, não foram campeões, mas fizeram 72 pontos em 2012 e 2008, respectivamente, mais do que os campões citados acima e que o Corinthians em 2011.

كومان: برشلونة سيبقى كما هو مع أي مدرب.. ورحيل ميسي أسوأ لحظاتي

أكد المدرب الهولندي رونالد كومان، المدير الفني لنادي برشلونة، أن مواجهة أتلتيكو مدريد لن تكون سهلة بالنسبة لفريقه، بسبب الطريقة والأسلوب الدفاعي للروخي بلانكوس.

برشلونة يحل ضيفًا على أتلتيكو مدريد، مساء غدًا السبت، على ملعب “واند متروبوليتانو”، في تمام الساعة التاسعة مساءً بتوقيت القاهرة، بالجولة الثامنة من الدوري الإسباني.

وقال كومان في المؤتمر الصحفي الخاص بالمباراة: “نحن وأتلتيكو مدريد لدينا أسلوبان مُختلفان، لكن كلاهما يؤدي إلى الفوز بالعديد من الأشياء، لقد حصلوا على لقب الدوري الإسباني لأنهم استحقوا ذلك”.

وأضاف: “سيكون من الصعب جدًا خلق فرص أمام أتلتيكو مدريد، إنهم فريق رائع ويدافعون بشكل جيد، علينا أن نكون جيدين في التمريرة الأخيرة، وعلينا أن نسجّل أهدافًا من أجل الفوز بالمباراة”.

وبسؤاله عما يُنقص الفريق الحالي لـ برشلونة، أجاب: “نحن نفتقر إلى التوازن في الوقت الحالي، لدينا عدد قليل من المُهاجمين المُتاحين”.

وواصل: “من الطبيعي أن يكون تقدم أنسو فاتي ببطء بعد الابتعاد لفترة طويلة، نحن نفتقر إلى اللاعبين المتميزين والسرعة، وإذا كان لدينا ذلك ستتغير الدفاعات وستكون لدينا مساحات”.

وتابع: “نحن نفتقر إلى الفعالية أيضًا، أتذكر في مباراة العام الماضي أتلتيكو خلق فرصًا أقل، لكنه فريق قادر على تسجيل هدف واحد بتسديدة واحدة، ونحن صنعنا أربعة فرصة وسجلنا هدفًا، وهذا أمر يكلفنا بالتأكيد”.

وأكمل: “علينا أن نواصل تغيير الأشياء في الفريق، نحن نُنهي المباريات بشباب صغار”.

وأردف: “أعتقد أن الفريق سيكون نفسه مع مدرب آخر، ليس لدينا أجنحة، لذا علينا البحث عن الهجوم من خلال الظهيرين، وظيفة المدرب تعتمد على لاعبيه”.

واسترسل: “أعتقد أنه إذا كان لديّ النقود، لكان ميسي لا يزال موجودًا هُنا، وسيكون لديّ لاعبين أقوياء، وأنا أستعد للمباريات بما هو مُتاح، لطالما قلت أن الفريق يفتقد إلى أشياء، إذا استعدنا جميع المهاجمين سيكون لدينا فريق قوي، إلى جانب ذلك سيكون هُناك فرص للشباب”.

وبسؤاله “هل يُمكنك أن تخبرنا عن أفضل لحظة لك واسوأ لحظة هنا في برشلونة؟”، أجاب: “أعتقد هذا السؤال يفترض أنني رحلت بالفعل، لكن أفضل لحظة عندما وقعت عقدي مع برشلونة واسوأ لحظة هي خروج ميسي”.

وأنهى تصريحاته ردًا على ما إذا يتوقع أن يستمر حال انتصر على أتلتيكو مدريد قائلًا: “إنه سؤال للغد، حتى الآن من الصعب الإجابة على ذلك، الأهم هو ان يفوز الفريق غدًا، أنا هُنا من أجل حُبي للنادي، أنا في وضع مُعقد لغاية، والمهم هُنا هم اللاعبين”.

Michy Batshuayi swoop can improve huge Leeds problem

Leeds United appear to be on the hunt for an additional striker this summer and a new name has been mooted by The Athletic’s Phil Hay…

What’s the word?

On the latest episode of the Phil Hay Show, he said: “One that’s definitely of interest is Michy Batshuayi down at Chelsea. Bielsa knows him from Marseille and he knows a lot about his game. He wouldn’t have to adapt massively. Despite it not happening for him at Chelsea he’s at a prime age, 26. Leeds will want to see progress in the next week or two.”

It’s not the first time that the Belgian has been mooted with a switch to Elland Road with Football Insider claiming he could cost less than £25m earlier this month.

Batshuayi is entering the final year of his contract at Chelsea and has started just one game all season across the Premier League and the Champions League.

Super-sub

Despite having Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abraham in front of him in the pecking order, a swoop for the 26-year-old would be perfect as Marcelo Bielsa needs a viable back-up to Patrick Bamford – especially with the Jean-Kevin Augustin saga up in the air.

One of the biggest problems surrounding the Yorkshire giants has been their tendency to suffer from burnout, it may have been what caused them to stumble last season and this year’s stop-start campaign, may have helped push them over the line finally.

This can’t happen in the top-fight otherwise they’ll be at risk of becoming a one-season wonder, which is why squad depth is needed. Batshuayi can provide that.

Over the last few seasons, he’s become widely known as the ‘super-sub’ for the Blues, so he’d be perfect for Bielsa to throw on when Bamford is in need of a break.

The Leeds boss helped Batshuayi to break onto the scene in France whilst Frank Lampard believes he’s “top class” and “hard-working”.

Victor Orta must push ahead with this move if United are to truly compete in the top-flight next season.

AND in other news, Leeds may have found the next Trent Alexander-Arnold…

Newcastle United: Craig Hope reveals how many fans may be allowed in St. James’ Park by October

Craig Hope has revealed how many Newcastle United fans may be allowed in St. James’ Park by the start of October in his latest piece for the Daily Mail.

According to the journalist, it is hoped that significantly more than a third of the 52,000 capacity will be allowed back into the stadium once it is given the approval of the Premier League.

The Tyneside club have also sounded out corporate box holders about returning to the ground on October 3rd, with other teams from the top flight becoming more and more confident that supporters will be allowed back into their stadiums from next month.

Those private boxes will be allowed a capacity of 50 per cent in each room which have been used to house media since the beautiful game returned after being locked down due to the global pandemic outbreak.

The season-ticket holders in the North East may also be put on long-term payment plans in the wider picture to try and get as many fans back in St. James’ park as possible for the new 2020/21 term.

This should come as good news to those members of the Toon Army who are desperate to get back into the stadium to watch their team play and go back to some sort of normality.

Of course, the safety of the NUFC fans remains the top priority, but it will surely come as a much welcomed relief that the supporters may be allowed back into the ground in just over a month’s time.

West Brom’s Kenneth Zohore will hold talks over loan to Sheffield Wednesday

On Monday, West Bromwich Albion striker Kenneth Zohore is set to hold talks with Sheffield Wednesday over a potential loan deal, as has been reported by The Daily Mail.

Having signed from Cardiff City for £8m ahead of the 2019/20 season, the Dane failed to make much of an impact on the team, starting just five Championship matches and coming off the bench 12 times.

Spot the fact from the fib: Are these Premier League records true or false?

World Class score: 95% | Expert score: 80% | Veteran score: 65% | Intermediate score: 45% | Amateur score: 30% | Try Again: 5%

However, his tally of three goals isn’t disastrous considering the limited amount of game time he received, as he averaged a goal every 217.7 minutes.

Regardless of his return, the Baggies are looking to let him leave on a temporary deal, as they aim to bring in further recruits up top in a bid to survive in the Premier League.

Andre Gray and Rhian Brewster, of Watford and Liverpool respectively, are the two main targets hinted at within the report.

Zohore has had offers from both Italy and Turkey, but it is suggested he is open to joining Gary Monk’s team at Hillsborough if terms can be agreed.

While Zohore is heading out of the door, it is suggested that Branislav Ivanovic will soon complete a move to The Hawthorns, with West Brom also in the running to sign Conor Gallagher.

MatériaMais Notícias

O lateral-direito Gabriel Proença deixa o Remo com uma avaliação positiva de sua passagem pelo clube. Contratado em julho deste ano para a disputa da Série D do Campeonato Brasileiro, o jogador só lamenta o fato de ter poucas oportunidades para mostrar seu futebol. Porém, ele considera que foi uma boa experiência o período que defendeu o time na campanha que deu o acesso para a Série C.

– Apesar de não ter atuado em muitos jogos, considero como positiva minha passagem pelo Remo. Foi boa a experiência, o clube subiu após sete anos para a Série C, o elenco era bem unido, enfim, consegui colher apenas coisas boas, deu para aprender bastante – disse o jogador, que agradeceu a oportunidade no clube.

– Agradeço a todos pela oportunidade, a diretoria, torcida, os jogadores e o Cacaio (treinador do time). Obrigado e quem sabe lá na frente não reencontro o Remo ou esses profissionais? Seria um prazer – completou Gabriel.

Segundo o lateral, não teve nenhum fator que prejudicou sua passagem no clube. Ele afirma apenas que não teve muitas chances e pretende brigar por mais espaço e pela titularidade no próximo time.

– Não teve nada que não deu certo. Faltaram apenas mais oportunidades para mostrar meu futebol para a torcida remista, mas são coisas que acontecem e fazem parte do futebol. No próximo clube vou lutar e brigar para ser titular – concluiu o jogador.
