Carlton Palmer reckons Ryan Christie wants Southampton move

Celtic playmaker Ryan Christie is itching for a deadline day move to Southampton, according to Carlton Palmer.

Christie’s contract with the Scottish Premiership title challengers expires in January, which has led to uncertainty over his future despite Bhoys boss Ange Postecoglou wanting to negotiate a new deal.

He has been linked with moving south of the border and Southampton were reportedly keen to pounce by landing Christie for a cut-price fee.

If Saints fail to get a deal over the line before tonight’s deadline, Christie could pen a pre-contract agreement. However, south coast rivals Bournemouth, as well as Burnley, are also looking to swoop according to Sky Sports.

The 26-year-old has made an impressive start to the new season, notching a goal and three assists in nine appearances as Celtic look to bounce back from being beaten to the Scottish Premiership title by Rangers last term.

Despite interest from elsewhere, former Southampton midfielder Palmer believes Christie has his heart set on a switch to St Mary’s.

He exclusively told Football FanCast: “Anybody who wants to play football wants to play in the Premier League, that is for sure. Of course, I think he’d jump at the chance.

“Southampton is a fabulous football club. I wouldn’t be surprised if he jumped at the opportunity.”

–>Italy have set up an exciting finish to the World Cricket League Division 4 after beating Tanzania by nine wickets.If Italy win their final match against Afghanistan tomorrow, and Hong Kong beat Jersey, both sides will be guaranteed promotion to Division 3 – even though Afghanistan are unbeaten – owing to their superior run-rate.Andy Northcote was again the star for Italy, picking up two cheap wickets before cracking 71. Tanzania’s batsmen struggled, managing 135, and only Rishen Patel (46) offered any resistance. Northcote was the pick of the bowlers with 2 for 19 from his ten overs, and was given good support by Gayashan de Silva (2 for 29) and HS Jayasena (2 for 36).Chasing 136 Italy romped home, with Northcote scorching nine fours in his 115-ball 71. He is comfortably the tournament’s top-scorer, averaging 100.50 in the four matches so far, and a strong contender for the Man-of-the-Tournament award.”I can’t tell you how happy I am today,” said Northcote. “The most important thing is we have one game to go and we have to win it. It will be tough tomorrow but we can do it.”The Italy coach and captain, Joe Scuderi, believes tomorrow’s match-up will be an exciting game and admitted he has been impressed by Afghanistan’s side. “Afghanistan has got a fairly solid all-round team. They have some good batters, some quick bowlers and a couple of good spinners as well. We’ll need to be firing on all cylinders,” said Scuderi. “We played against them in a warm-up game when we lost by three runs but we’ve now won three in a row.”It’s basically a grand final. I know they talk of the final being on Saturday but for us the final is tomorrow.”

Assédio cresce, e Thiago Maia pode ser o 'escolhido' para deixar o Santos

MatériaMais Notícias

O volante Thiago Maia, de 20 anos, é o jogador que tem mais chance de deixar o Santos ainda nesta temporada. Antes mesmo da janela de transferências abrir (o período se inicia em julho), o camisa 29 já atraiu a atenção dos europeus. Milan (ITA) e Lille (FRA) são os interessados no momento, além do Zenit (RUS), que já sinalizou com uma oferta de18 milhões de euros (R$ 66 milhões) em dezembro do ano passado.

Representando por Giuliano Bertolucci, agente que tem grande trânsito no futebol europeu, o volante não esconde o desejo de atuar no Velho Continente e nem mesmo a preferência pelo PSG, da França.

O Santos, que teve dificuldades para quitar pagamentos referentes aos direitos de imagem dos jogadores, reforça a necessidade de vender um atleta ainda nesta temporada, mesmo em meio a disputa pela Libertadores.

-O Santos, provavelmente, deve vender algum jogador, faz parte do planejamento financeiro do clube – disse o presidente Modesto Roma Júnior em recente entrevista coletiva.

Com 114 partidas disputadas pelo Peixe desde 2014, Thiago Maia tem contrato válido até 30 de junho de 2019. O Alvinegro tem 100% dos direitos do volante campeão olímpico, mas repassará 30% ao próprio jogador quando for vendido.

Tuanzebe wanted Newcastle before Villa

Axel Tuanzebe reportedly wanted a move to Newcastle United before Aston Villa signed him on loan from Manchester United.

The Lowdown: Tuanzebe wanted

The St. James’ Park faithful reportedly wanted to sign Tuanzebe before he made the move to Villa Park instead.

They have also been recently linked with a move for Ozan Kabak, suggesting that Steve Bruce would like to bring in another central defender before the summer transfer window ends.

The Latest: Why Tuanzebe move failed

Writing in his latest piece for The Daily Telegraph, Luke Edwards has revealed why the North East club did not end up signing Tuanzebe in the end.

As per the journalist, it was the player’s preference to move to Tyneside over AVFC, but they could not afford the loan fee to make it happen.

The Verdict: Shame

It is such a shame that the Magpies missed out on signing Tuanzebe, as they will now have to rush to get another centre-back in before the window closes.

Dubbed ‘outstanding’ by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after a very impressive performance in the UEFA Europa League against Granada back in April, he is clearly capable of playing at a high level, having notched up a fair amount of experience in playing in the Premier League (Transfermarkt).

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/newcastle-updates-5/” title=”Newcastle updates! (5)” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

At just 23 years of age, Tuanzebe certainly has potential, and being English, he would have helped fill the homegrown quota in the squad as well.

Nonetheless, the Toon must now look at other targets.

جالطة سراي يُعلن قراره النهائي من دفع مستحقات صفقة مصطفى محمد إلى الزمالك

أعلن نادي جالطة سراي المنافس في بطولة الدوري التركي عن موقفه النهائي من دفع مستحقات صفقة مهاجم الفريق الأول لكرة القدم، مصطفى محمد، إلى الزمالك.

وكان جالطة سراي قد فعل شرط أحقية شراء، مصطفى محمد، في شهر ديسمبر الماضي بقيمة 4 ملايين دولار، ولكن حتى الآن، لم يسددها النادي التركي.

هناك مهلة حتى الأول من يوليو أمام جالطة سراي، قبل أن يتحرك الزمالك إلى رفع شكوى إلى الاتحاد الدولي لمطالبة بالحصول على أمواله.

وتحدث نائب رئيس جالطة سراي الجديد، إردين تيمور، في تصريحات نقلتها صحيفة “Turkiye Gaztesi” التركية، وقال: “لا مشكلة لدينا في بقاء مصطفى محمد”.

وأتم: “لسنا مترددين في أي شيء، سيتم دفع المبلغ في الأول من يوليو المقبل إلى الزمالك، لا يوجد شك في ذلك، مصطفى محمد لاعب شاب ويمتلك إمكانيات رائعة”.

Pundit claims Kane would make Man United title contenders

Manchester United would become genuine title contenders by making a late swoop for Harry Kane, according to Steve Howey.

England captain Kane has grown frustrated by a lack of trophies at Tottenham Hotspur and publicly confirmed he wants to leave his boyhood club before the transfer window slams shut next week.

While Manchester City have been the frontrunners for Kane’s signature all summer and boss Pep Guardiola has revealed his desire to sign last season’s Premier League Golden Boot winner, arch-rivals Manchester United have also been keeping tabs on the situation and club legend Gary Neville has urged the Red Devils to leap to the front of the queue.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already completed two big-money transfers during the window, with England international Jadon Sancho making the £73million switch from Borussia Dortmund and 2018 World Cup winner Raphael Varane joining from Real Madrid.

But former Premier League defender Howey believes the acquisition of Kane would immediately bolster Manchester United’s chances of clinching the title.

He exclusively told Football FanCast: “They would automatically become title contenders by signing Kane.

“I think they look stronger defensively after signing Varane from Real Madrid. They’re looking good in midfield, with Paul Pogba starting the season really well and Bruno Fernandes scoring goals.

“Although Solskjaer has been criticised in the past, I think he is slowly and steadily building a decent team. If they get a player of Kane’s quality, that would take them to a different level.”

While anything can happen while the transfer window remains open, it does look like no club will be signing Kane this summer, with the player recently stating that he now intends to stay at the club.

تقارير تركية: نادٍ إسباني يُشعل الصراع على ضم مصطفى محمد

دخل نادٍ إسباني الصراع على ضم مهاجم الزمالك السابق والمنتقل إلى جالطة سراي في يناير 2021، مصطفى محمد، ليُشعل فترة الانتقالات الصيفية الحالية مع الأندية الفرنسية والألمانية.

ويعتبر مصطفى محمد اللاعب الأكثر رغبة من جانب الأندية الخارجية، رغم ارتداءه قميص النادي التركي لمدة موسم ونصف الموسم فقط.

هناك اهتمام من جانب أندية ريمس، تولوز ومونبيليه في الدوري الفرنسي وكذلك شالكه في الدوري الألماني، ولكن ليس هناك أي عرض رسمي لدى جالطة سراي حتى الآن.

يريد جالطة سراي الحصول على مبلغ 8 ملايين يورو كحد أدنى للموافقة على رحيل مهاجم منتخب مصر في الأسابيع المقبلة، لأنه سيضطر لدفع 4 ملايين دولار لصالح الزمالك في الأول من يوليو لضمه نهائيًا وفقًا لبنود التعاقد بين الناديين.

وبحسب صحيفة “فوتو سبور” التركية أن هناك رغبة من جانب نادي قادش المنافس في بطولة الدوري الإسباني لضم، مصطفى محمد، وربما تبدأ المفاوضات في الأيام المقبلة.

إذا رحل مصطفى محمد عن جالطة سراي هناك بديل بالفعل قد تم تحديده من جانب المدير الفني، دومينيك تورنت، وهو لاعب لاتسيو، فيدات موريكي.

A teams begin second leg on even keel

All three teams are level on points, having won and lost a game each, though New Zealand boast the best net run-rate

A glance at the points table shows how evenly matched the three teams are ahead of the second leg of the tri-series, which begins at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, with hosts India A taking on New Zealand A on Sunday. All three teams are level on points, having won and lost a game each, though New Zealand boast the best net run-rate.The similarity between the teams isn’t limited to the points table. All three sides have experienced batting collapses largely due to the sporting track in Hyderabad which limited three scores to less than 200. It’s an issue each camp would have addressed, especially the Indians, who haven’t fired as a unit even though they have several internationally-experienced batsmen in their line-up.The pitch in Chennai, however, could change all that for it’s expected to be full of runs. It will ease the pressure on India’s openers, Robin Uthappa and Swapnil Asnodkar, who had partnerships of 5 and 1 in the first two games and are in need of a solid performance before the reserves in the squad get a look-in.Both batsmen are strong of the front foot but are vulnerable in conditions that suit the seamers. Against New Zealand, Asnodkar forgot where his off stump was and looked back to see it land half-a-dozen yards away. Uthappa was squared up by Shaun Tait in the first game and offered a sitter to mid-on after a flamboyant beginning against New Zealand A.The captain S Badrinath and Yusuf Pathan have held the middle-order together but the Indians won’t have Badrinath’s services for much longer because he’s been named as Sachin Tendulkar’s replacement in the squad for the Irani Trophy which begins on Wednesday.New Zealand’s middle order has its problems too. Their collapse, during which seven wickets feel for 70, was the reason for defeat against India A. They will be stretched further by the humid weather in Chennai, with temperatures around 37 degrees, which Peter Fulton, their captain, said would be a huge factor. A couple of their players are carrying niggles and New Zealand have put off naming their team until tomorrow.Australia are the most confident of the three sides, scorching the Indian bowling attack after a poor batting performance in their first game. The departure of Doug Bollinger and Peter Siddle to the Test team hasn’t depleted their fast-bowling resources either, with Ashley Noffke and Shaun Tait unsettling the Indians with swing and pace. The vice-captain, Adam Voges, hasn’t fired through the entire tour and a big score is due from him.Each side has two games left and a defeat in the first of those could jeopardise chances of making the final. A repeat of the first leg in Hyderabad could have all three teams level on two wins each, which will bring bonus points into the picture.

Com concorrência e de novo calado, Romero tem apoio e evolui no Timão

MatériaMais Notícias

A posição de Romero, atacante de velocidade pelo lado do campo, é uma das mais concorrida no atual elenco do Corinthians. A disputa ficou ainda maior com a contratação de Clayson, que estreou no último domingo. Clayton, outro que chegou nesta temporada, Léo Jabá e Pedrinho também estão de olho na vaga. No entanto, o paraguaio tem sido o dono da posição: já participou de 28 dos 32 jogos do Timão na temporada, marcou três gols e deu uma assistência.

Romero sempre achou exageradas as críticas da imprensa. Após voltar a falar com os jornalistas, ele está novamente calado. Tudo por conta de um quadro do Esporte Espetacular, programa da TV Globo, que mostrou o atacante errando um domínio de peito. O vídeo do lance viralizou nas redes sociais.

Em relação aos companheiros, comissão técnica e torcida, porém, Romero não tem do que reclamar. No último domingo, por exemplo, ele foi o jogador mais aplaudido pela Fiel no Estádio Serra Dourada e ainda recebeu apoio dos jogadores e de Fábio Carille.

– O Romero tem muita qualidade, finaliza muito bem, ajuda muito taticamente, tanto defende quanto ataca, dá caneta. É um jogador importantíssimo. Temos que parar de cornetar, pegar um pra Cristo, porque ele é muito importante para nós – analisou o meia Rodriguinho.

Carille também elogiou Romero. O treinador acredita que o atacante tem evoluído nesta temporada, mas também revelou pontos a melhorar.

– O Romero faz o que a gente espera, tem qualidade, chega bem na área, cumpre função. Estamos felizes com ele, que nos ajuda bastante. Está evoluindo não só por conta do trabalho, ele trabalha muito, mas pela confiança, ele está confiante. Pode ser mais agressivo, pisar mais na área, estamos trabalhando para que ele cresça cada vez mais – disse Carille.

É desta forma, principalmente pela entrega nos jogos, que Romero se garante como titular do Corinthians. Independentemente do número de concorrentes.

400 vezes Luis Fabiano! Atacante marca e Vasco vence o Bahia em casa

MatériaMais Notícias

No dia seguinte ao aniversário de dez anos do milésimo gol de Romário, marcado com a camisa do Vasco, Luis Fabiano, principal nome do elenco comandado por Milton Mendes, chegou ao seu gol 400. Na manhã deste domingo, com São Januário lotado, Fabuloso fez o seu melhor jogo pelo Cruz-Maltino. Na vitória sobre o Bahia por 2 a 1, válida pela segunda rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro, o camisa 9 deu assistência para um dos gols e fez o outro. Festa completa para os 19.030 vascaínos presentes.

Foi o primeiro jogo desde que chegou ao Vasco em que Nenê ficou fora do time titular por opção do treinador. Milton Mendes justificou antes de a bola rolar que a estratégia de tirar o meia de 36 anos era a de dar mais velocidade ao meio de campo. A entrada de Kelvin no seu lugar, somada à estreia do zagueiro Paulão, mudaram a cara de um Vasco que não mostrava que tinha boas ambições na temporada com o que apresentara até então.

O Vasco variava o esquema, atrapalhando as ofensivas do Bahia. De um 4-5-1 sem a posse de bola, uma espécie de 3-6-1 era improvisado com Jean virando zagueiro quando a equipe comandada pelo técnico Milton Mendes tinha a posse. Logo aos sete minutos, o Cruz-Maltino criava a primeira chance com Luis Fabiano em cabeceio após cobrança de falta de Douglas. Aos 13, Fabuloso parava novamente no goleiro Jean, do Bahia.

Apesar da boa movimentação no primeiro tempo, Vasco e Bahia foram para o vestiário no intervalo com o 0 a 0 no placar. Mas engana-se quem pensa que ficaria assim na etapa final, quando os gols começaram a sair. Aos oito minutos, Luis Fabiano deu bela assistência para Yago Pikachu dominar, tirar de Jean e estufar as redes baianas.

E a expectativa que se criava nos últimos jogos pelo gol 400 de Luis Fabiano na carreira chegou ao fim neste Vasco e Bahia aos 30 minutos. Mateus Pet avançou e tocou para Gilberto, que cruzou. Kelvin mandou para o gol e Jean fez a defesa. A bola deu rebote nos pés de Luis Fabiano, que não perdoou e marcou o primeiro gol pelo Cruz-Maltino em São Januário, além de ter alcançado a marca histórica na carreira.

Aos 37, ainda deu tempo do Bahia descontar com Gustavo, após Wagner perder a bola e permitir o contra-ataque. Armero, nos acréscimos, recebeu o segundo cartão amarelo e deixou os baianos com um a menos, que nada mais tiveram a chance de fazer. Vitória do Vasco para um estádio lotado, um Caldeirão que volta a mostrar a sua força e que o clube deve se atentar até o fim do Campeonato Brasileiro para conseguir voos mais altos.

O Vasco voltará a campo no próximo sábado, quando fará clássico em São Januário contra o Fluminense, às 19h. Já o Bahia decidirá no meio de semana a Copa do Nordeste com o Sport, na Fonte Nova. No primeiro jogo, empate por 1 a 1 na Ilha do Retiro.
