Newcastle looking to snap up three players

A big update has emerged on Newcastle United and their plans to bring three players to St. James’ Park this summer.

What’s the talk?

90min reporter Graeme Bailey has revealed the three deals that PIF are plotting to complete heading into the upcoming transfer window as they look to bolster their squad for 2022/23.

Bailey Tweeted: “Newcastle United are ready to press ahead with the transfer plans they set in motion in January, and will look to finalise deals for Hugo Ekitike, Matt Targett and Jesse Lingard.”

Eddie Howe will be on cloud nine

The Magpies head coach will be left on cloud nine by this update as all three players would be excellent signings for the club.

Firstly, Targett would be a sensible, excellent, permanent signing for the Toon. He is a reliable, proven, Premier League performer who has been solid for Newcastle since joining on loan in January.

In the top-flight this season, he has averaged an impressive SofaScore rating of 6.92 across 29 starts, which shows that he can deliver on a regular basis from left-back in the division.

Secondly, Lingard has the potential to be an exciting addition to the team. He has found game time hard to come by at Manchester United this season but caught the eye on loan at West Ham last term as he scored nine goals and provided four assists in 16 league outings.

This shows that he has the quality to be a difference-maker at the top end of the pitch. The only question mark would be over whether he can sustain that over the course of an entire campaign as he caught fire in a six-month spell at the London Stadium.

Finally, Ekitike would be a phenomenal signing for now and for the future. He has produced nine goals and two assists in 14 Ligue 1 starts for Stade Reims and this suggests that he would be able to have an immediate impact on the team if he can adjust to English football.

However, he also has the scope to develop and improve over time at the age of 19. He has the majority of his career left ahead of him and that means he is a player the club can nurture over the course of a number of years, making him a good signing and investment at the same time.

Therefore, Howe will be on cloud nine if PIF can get all three of these deals over the line as they would all be fantastic additions in their own right.

Spurs: Conte dealt Reguilon injury blow

Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt a fresh injury blow ahead of their Premier League meeting with Leicester City this afternoon.

What’s the latest?

Speaking in his pre-match press conference (via football.london), Antonio Conte revealed that Sergio Reguilon will now be unavailable for selection for the 14:00 kick-off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as the 25-year-old has picked up a groin injury.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-spurs-news-transfer-rumours-gossip-and-much-more” title= “Read the latest Spurs news!”]

When asked for an update on the current fitness of his Tottenham squad, the 52-year-old said: “The only update is that Reguilon is not available. He has a groin pain. The others are OK.”

Conte will be fuming

While it is true that Reguilon has not exactly been in the best form of his career so far this season, it is nevertheless undeniable that losing the services of the left-back at such a crucial stage of the campaign will have left Conte fuming.

Indeed, over his 25 Premier League appearances this term, the £25.2m-rated full-back has been an important part of the Spurs backline, scoring two goals, registering three assists and creating five big chances for his teammates, as well as taking an average of 0.8 shots, making 1.2 key passes and completing 0.8 dribbles per game.

The £53k-per-week defender has also helped his side keep six clean sheets, as well as making an average of 1.2 interceptions, 1.6 tackles, 1.6 clearances and winning 4.6 duels – at a success rate of 52% – per fixture.

These returns have seen the Spaniard average a SofaScore match rating of 6.91, ranking him as Conte’s 12th-best performer in the English top flight.

As such, considering that the 52-year-old’s only other natural option at left wing-back, Ryan Sessegnon, has also struggled for fitness this season, the unavailability of Reguilon for the Leicester game – and potentially further fixtures over the run-in – is sure to have come as a huge blow to Tottenham’s chances of securing all three points against the Foxes – as well as the club’s hopes of securing a top-four finish in the league.

جوارديولا يوضح موقفه من العودة إلى برشلونة ويصرّح: محظوظ لعدم تواجدهم في دوري الأبطال

حصل بيب جوارديولا يوم الاثنين على جائزة أفضل مدرب للعام الذي قدمه الاتحاد الكتالوني لكرة القدم، والذي أقيم حفله في أنتيغوا فابريكا دي إستريلا دام.

وتحدث جوارديولا عن عدة أمور، على هامش الحفل، مثل إمكانية عودته إلى برشلونة وتقييمه للدور الذي يقوم به المدير الفني تشافي الكامب نو.

وقال جوارديولا في تصريحاته التي نشرتها صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو” الإسبانية: “لا شيئ يمكن مقارنته بـ برشلونة، لو كان هناك اعتقاد بأنني سأكون ضروريًا لهم، سأعود، ولكن الحال ليس كذلك”.

وأضاف: “لقد غادرت، واستمر الفريق في الفوز، إذا كان علينا أن نلتقي مرة أخرى، فسيحدث ذلك، ولكن دون إجبار في أي شيئ”.

وفيما يتعلق بتجديد عقده مع مانشستر سيتي، حيث وقع مؤخرًا عقده الجديد، حيث قال: “لقد ناقشت الأمر مع زوجتي وكانت الفكرة هي إنهاء وقتي في سيتي هذا الموسم، لكن في النهاية حسمنا الأمر وسأستمر لمدة عامين آخرين”.

واستمر: “أداء تشافي برشلونة؟ أعتقد أنهم يقومون بعمل جيد للغاية على الرغم من خيبة الأمل في دوري أبطال أوروبا، ولكن إذا قمت بتحليلها مباراة تلو الأخرى، في ميونخ كانوا يستحقون الفوز ثم ركلة الجزاء في المباراة ضد إنتر، يؤلمني أنهم لم يتأهلوا، ولكن لأنني محظوظ لأنني بهذه الطريقة لن أواجهم”.

وعن أداء إسبانيا في كأس العالم، قال: “أنا أستمتع بالبطولة بمباريات جيدة ومدربين شجعان، أداء إسبانيا جيد للغاية، لكن هذا لا يعني أنهم سيفوزون بها لأنه في كرة القدم هذا لا يعمل بهذه الطريقة”.

واختتم: “آمل أن يحدث ذلك، دع الفريق الذي يلعب أفضل هو من يفوز باللقب، إنريكي يقضي وقتًا رائعًا في إسبانيا بالفعل”.

Two-paced wicket caught us by surprise – Nash

West Indies’ batsmen struggled on the first day of their tour match against a Sri Lanka President’s XI at Colombo

Brendan Nash: “Shiv and I batted together for a while and a few of the other guys showed signs of hanging there for a little bit”•AFP

West Indies’ tour of Sri Lanka got off to a disappointing start when the tourists were bundled out for 176 by seam and spin on the first day of their three-day match against Sri Lanka President’s XI at the SSC. Only middle-order batsmen Brendan Nash and Shivnarine Chanderpaul got useful practice out in the middle ahead of next Monday’s first Test in Galle.The pair rescued West Indies from 29 for 3 with a partnership of 81 before spinners Ajantha Mendis and Malinga Bandara wrapped up the lower order. Nash who scored 62 off 107 balls said, “We would have liked to have batted some more overs and got used to the conditions over here. The wicket was quite good although it played a few little tricks. Maybe it was just one of those things where we started the tour a little slowly today.”Shiv and I batted together for a while and a few of the other guys showed signs of hanging there for a little bit. We were a little disappointed by the way we batted but we were surprised by the wicket being quite easy to bat on. Maybe that took us a little bit by surprise and we didn’t adjust as well as we should have.”Describing his maiden half-century in the subcontinent, Nash said, “I was a little scratchy in patches for my first innings in this part of the world. Personally I am pleased with it – the mental and physical side of things.”I was interested with the pace of the wicket, it was two-paced. Just when you thought you were sort of going quite easy something would happen to keep you on your toes. Although it was a nice wicket to bat on, every now and then it reminded you that something can happen out there.”Nash said that West Indies should take a good look at their batting today and establish how they were going to move on from there. “We got this out of our system and had a bit of a knock in the middle, so we got to know the conditions and what they are going to be like. We can learn from today. We have to move forward and keep going.”Nash expressed surprise in the way the home team approached their batting. “The top four batsmen who came out played real shots. They obviously had a plan to come out quite hard and score runs quickly. We sort of pegged them back towards the end by taking a few wickets.”It’s a three-day match and there is plenty of time. The wicket might break up a little bit more so it would be another test for our batsmen and bowlers to use those conditions,” he said.

Lesão interrompe boa fase de Helton Leite no São Caetano

MatériaMais Notícias

Emprestado pelo Botafogo, Helton Leite vivia grande fase no São Caetano. Era o segundo em número de defesas no Campeonato Paulista, por exemplo, perdendo apenas para Vagner, do Ituano (29 a 30). Mas tudo acabou na última segunda-feira. Na partida contra o Palmeiras, vencida pelo Azulão, mesmo fora de casa, o goleiro sofreu uma fratura no tornozelo do pé direito.

Exatamente no maléolo, e o tempo de tratamento aproximado é de três meses. Ele passará por cirurgia neste fim de semana, em Belo Horizonte (MG), e não poderá mais atuar no Paulistão. Deste modo, a recuperação será feita nas dependências do Botafogo, uma vez que o contrato de cessão era pelo Campeonato Estadual apenas.

-Estava representando uma confirmação do meu potencial, uma afirmação daquilo que posso fazer. Espero voltar melhor física e tecnicamente após a recuperação da lesão – afirmou ao LANCE!.

O contrato de Helton Leite com o Botafogo vai até dezembro deste ano. Quando se recuperar, terá aproximadamente mais seis meses para justificar eventual renovação. Atualmente, Gatito Fernández e Jefferson, que anunciou que vai se aposentar, são as principais opções, e Saulo é o terceiro.

Aos 27 anos, Helton Leite disputou 11 jogos pelo São Caetano. Desde 2014 no Alvinegro, ele tem 32 partidas disputadas pelo Alvinegro.

جيرنوت روهر: تمنيت رؤية محمد صلاح في كأس العالم.. والبرازيل الأقرب لحصد اللقب

قال جيرنوت روهر المدير الفني الأسبق لمنتخب نيجيريا، إن منتخب ألمانيا كان لديه العديد من الأزمات بنهائيات كأس العالم قطر 2022.

وأضاف روهر في تصريحات تلفزيونية بفضائية “الحياة” عبر برنامج “كورة كل يوم”: “كان لمنتخب ألمانيا مشاكل بالجملة من الناحية الفنية وإهدار الفرص، بالإضافة إلى الأخطاء الدفاعية”.

وأردف: “وضع لاعبي ألمانيا تركيزهم في أمور بعيدة عن الملعب كان أمرًا خطأ، وكان عليهم التركيز داخل المستطيل الأخضر”.

وتابع: “الكثير من المنتخبات حققت العديد من المفاجآت في المونديال، منتخب المغرب يمكنه أن يقدم مباراة كبيرة ولما لا يفوز على إسبانيا؟”.

وأكد: “المنتخب البرازيلي قريب من حصد كأس العالم، أتوقع النهائي بين فرنسا والبرازيل”.

وأردف: “ميسي ذو أداء رائع مع المنتخب الأرجنتيني، ويقدم كرة رائعة، ورونالدو ما زال واحدًا من أفضل اللاعبين في العالم، ولكن لم يقدم المستوى المطلوب منه، الثنائي يقدمان أداءً رائعًا منذ سنوات طويلة”.

وواصل: “خضت العديد من المواجهات أمام منتخب مصر حينما كنت المدير الفني لمنتخب نيجيريا، وكانت مباريات خاصة ومميزة، وسجلنا العديد من الأهداف في مرمى المنتخب المصري، وكنا نعمل حساب من الهجوم وخط الوسط”.

واستأنف: “كنا ننجح في تسجيل الأهداف وكنت أعتمد على الكرات الطويلة حينما كنت أواجه مصر، لدي ذكريات سعيدة ورائعة أمام مصر”.

واستطرد: “منتخب مصر جيد جدًا ولسوء الحظ خسروا في كأس أمم إفريقيا بمصر أمام منتخب جنوب إفريقيا وخسروا اللقب، المنتخب المصري جيد جدًا ولديه لاعبين مميزين، ومن المؤكد أن محمد صلاح أفضل لاعب في منتخب مصر، لاعب رائع ومن الطراز الرفيع وكنت أتمنى رؤيته في كأس العالم”.

واختتم: “تلقيت العديد من العروض منذ مدة طويلة وتلقيت عرضًا من مصر عندما كنت أدرب نيجيريا، حاليًا متواجد مع عائلتي بفرنسا، وجاهز في أي وقت لتولي الأمور الفنية لأي فريق”.

Newcastle transfer news on Bruno Guimaraes

Frank McAvennie has been left reacting to some exit news that he has now heard involving Newcastle United and Bruno Guimaraes.

The Lowdown: Real Madrid links with Bruno

As per Spanish news outlet AS, Real Madrid have identified the Brazilian as a transfer target for next year as they look to refresh their options in the centre of midfield.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/newcastle-news-6/” title=”Newcastle news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Casemiro are not getting any younger at 36, 32 and 30 years of age respectively, so it is not a surprise to see the La Liga champions looking in the midfield market.

The Latest: McAvennie reacts to Bruno latest

Speaking to Football Insider, McAvennie has now given his reaction to the news, as the 62-year-old claimed that it is ‘weird’ to see a Magpies player being linked with a move to Real Madrid.

The former Premier League striker said: “The boy Bruno is just brilliant.

“I remember thinking he was a defensive midfielder when Newcastle signed him but he’s scored himself a few goals as well which is great for him.

“He is brilliant to watch and it is weird to see a Newcastle player linked with Real Madrid.

“The way Newcastle are going, he will turn that down if an offer comes in because they will be right up there in a few years.

“If he helps to take Newcastle to the Champions League then he will be a legend.

The Verdict: Keep him!

Bruno only arrived at St James’ Park in the January transfer window, but has already shown the level of quality that he possesses.

With four goals, one assist and three man-of-the-match awards already to his name in the Premier League, the Brazilian currently ranks as Newcastle’s third-best player, featuring highly among his team-mates in terms of average tackles, shots, dribbles, pass success and through balls per game (WhoScored).

Keeping him should help the Magpies to bring in other quality players to Tyneside over the next few transfer windows.

Second new ball will be 'really challenging' – Hussey

Michael Hussey believes his interrupted rescue act with Brad Haddin needs to double if they are to earn a dominant position in the opening Ashes Test

Peter English at the Gabba26-Nov-2010Michael Hussey believes his interrupted rescue act with Brad Haddin needs to double if they are to earn a dominant position in the opening Ashes Test. Australia will start the third day 40 runs behind England’s first-innings 260 after Hussey and Haddin lifted the side with a partnership of 77.The hosts were 5 for 143 when the pair joined forces after Steven Finn and James Anderson had held up the hosts following an opening stand of 78. Hussey (81) and Haddin (22) provided some comfort for Australia but are now headed for the most important part of the match.”We had to battle pretty hard throughout that partnership,” Hussey said. “We managed to get a good partnership but it’s probably not even half what we require, we’ve got some really hard work to do tomorrow morning. The second new ball is going to be a really challenging time in the game.”England were about to take it when bad light stopped play 17 overs early, but they gained a slight boost when the groundsmen were slow to cover the pitch when a shower arrived. “The game is interestingly poised, it’s pretty tight, probably 50-50 at the moment,” Hussey said. “The first hour or two is going to be interesting to see what happens. It might be the pivotal point of the match.”Finn said England were happy with their results on a pitch that is still providing some help to the bowlers, and contributing to regular shifts in momentum. “That’s been the nature of the game so far,” he said. “It’s ebbed and flowed, and I’m sure it will tomorrow.”This is Finn’s first Ashes Test and the 21-year-old had an encouraging day. He collected the wickets of Michael Clarke, who edged behind pulling, and Simon Katich. Katich drove firmly back to Finn and he leaned forward for a stunning take just off the ground.”If you watch me in the mornings, I practise catching low like that all the time,” he said. “It’s something I try and work on and am conscious of. I need to be able to take catches like that to make myself a better cricketer.”Finn was also punished at times by Hussey, particularly when he was pulling, and finished with 2 for 61 off 15 overs. The Gabba was almost full, but Finn said he wasn’t intimidated.”It was great to get out there and bowl,” he said. “I heard the crowd all of yesterday shouting, 35,000 people. To be able to play in front of 35,000 today was great. I’m used to playing championship cricket in front of 20 people. To have so many people watching has been fantastic. I’m loving it at the moment.”

William diz que "lição" em Salvador foi essencial para vitória sobre o Corinthians

MatériaMais Notícias

Apenas três dias após ser eliminado da Copa do Brasil, com revés diante do Vitória, o Bragantino conseguiu garantir uma importante vantagem no Campeonato Paulista, ao vencer o Corinthians por 3 a 2. Segundo o volante William Schuster, foi justamente a infeliz noite da última quinta-feira no Barradão que acabou servindo de lição e mostrando a melhor forma de enfrentar, e vencer o atual campeão brasileiro no Pacaembu no domingo passado.

– Tivemos uma experiência ruim atuando fora de casa contra o Vitória. Por termos uma vantagem, ficamos esperando a equipe deles para jogarmos no contra-ataque. Mas aprendemos a lição. Nosso grande mérito contra o Corinthians foi pressionarmos a saída de jogo deles, o que acabou os prejudicando, já que a bola não sai tão “redonda” da defesa. Fizemos três gols, poderíamos ter feito mais um ou dois, e saímos de campo com a sensação plena de dever cumprido – afirmou o jogador.

Nesta quinta-feira, as equipes voltam aos gramados, desta vez na Arena Corinthians, às 20h, e o melhor em campo leva a vaga nas semifinais. Segundo Schuster, para o time de Bragança conseguir a classificação, será necessário repetir a mesma postura proativa apresentada no último domingo no estádio do Pacaembu. Ele ressalta ainda que postar-se inteiramente no campo defensivo poderia ser fatal para as ambições do Bragantino.

– Seremos visitantes novamente, como foi no jogo de ida, e tentaremos impor a mesma forma de atuar. Nós sabemos que se ficarmos o tempo todo atrás, somente nos defendendo, eles irão acabar marcando. Será normal haver uma pressão por parte deles no início, mas não creio que o padrão de jogo se modifique. São duas equipes semelhantes, muito disciplinadas taticamente e que devem fazer mais uma grande partida – explicou o volante.

Gonzalo Carneiro está no Brasil para fazer exames e assinar com São Paulo

MatériaMais Notícias

Gonzalo Carneiro já está no Brasil para as últimas pendências antes de seu anúncio como reforço do São Paulo. O atacante uruguaio desembarcou na capital paulista neste sábado para realizar exames e fazer os trâmites burocráticos antes de assinar contrato válido por três anos.

A informação foi dada pelo Globo Esporte e confirmada pelo LANCE!A expectativa é de que o jogador uruguaio, de 22 anos, seja confirmado como contratação até a metade da próxima semana. As informações que chegaram ao Tricolor são de que ele está praticamente recuperado da pubalgia que ainda não o permitiu entrar em campo nesta temporada.

O Defensor, clube do jogador uruguaio, já enviou documentos ao São Paulo confirmando que aceitou a proposta de US$ 800 mil (cerca de R$ 2,6 milhões) por 50% dos direitos econômicos do atacante.

Carneiro chega com a aprovação de Lugano, ex-zagueiro e hoje superintendente de relações institucionais do clube, e que o encontrou em recente visita ao Uruguai. E o técnico Diego Aguirre já deu entrevistas dizendo que o considera um excelente jogador.

Atacante canhoto de 1,91m de altura, Gonzalo é visto como uma das principais revelações do futebol uruguaio. O São Paulo observa o atleta há algum tempo e vê a contratação como uma oportunidade de mercado. No fim do ano passado, o jogador chegou a negociar sua ida para o Grêmio, mas a conversa não prosseguiu porque o atacante estava lesionado.
