Michael Beale has been a busy man throughout the summer transfer window as Glasgow Rangers have dipped into the market to bring in nine new players.

Who have Rangers signed this summer?

The Scottish giants have bolstered their options across the park since the end of last season. At the back, Leon Balogun, Dujon Sterling, and Jack Butland have all joined to tighten up the defence.

In midfield, the Gers have snapped up Jose Cifuentes, Kieran Dowell, and Abdallah Sima, whilst they have also added Danilo, Sam Lammers, and Cyriel Dessers to their stable of attacking players.

However, that may not be the end of the club's splurge in the window as they have been linked with interest in Sunderland centre-forward Ross Stewart, who has rejected an improved deal with the Championship side.

How good is Ross Stewart?

Beale could land an instant upgrade on one of the Gers summer signings – Dessers – by securing a swoop for the Scotland international this summer as his form for the Black Cats suggests that he could be a fantastic striker for the English head coach.

Stewart enjoyed a phenomenal start to last season as he racked up an outstanding ten goals and three assists in 13 Championship appearances. He also averaged an eye-catching Sofascore rating of 7.40 that would have placed him third within the Rangers squad – only behind James Tavernier and Borna Barisic.

This came after the prolific hotshot, who ex-Sunderland goalkeeper David Preece hailed as "exceptional" last term, averaged a Sofascore rating of 7.25 and plundered 26 goals across 49 League One outings throughout the 2021/22 campaign.

Dessers, meanwhile, has endured a difficult start to life in the Scottish Premiership with an average Sofascore rating of 6.75 and zero goal contributions in his first two outings, although he did bundle in a goal from close range against Servette in a Champions League qualifier during the week.

The former Genk man has lost a whopping 83% of his league ground duels for the Light Blues and Stewart could be more of a physical presence in the number nine position as he won 49% of his battles for the Black Cats last season.

It would be harsh to write off the Nigerian international already but he is also coming off six goals and an average Sofascore rating of 6.75 in 26 Serie A matches for Cremonese during the 2022/23 campaign, which does not suggest that his first few displays for the Gers are out of character.

Stewart, if he can replicate his Championship form for Sunderland at Rangers, would come in as an immediate upgrade on the 28-year-old forward and provide Beale's team with a significant boost at the top end of the pitch, based on his average performance level and goalscoring record.

The 6 foot 3 titan is also a player with experience in Scotland as he scored 28 goals in 82 matches for Ross County prior to his move to England.

He has already played 41 Premiership games in his career to date and this suggests that the talented ace could hit the ground running due to his knowledge of the league and country.

Stewart is currently out with an Achilles injury and, for that reason, could be a risky signing due to the possibility of his long-term lay-off affecting his level of performance.

However, the Scottish marksman's sensational form for Sunderland suggests that it is a gamble worth taking.

O zagueiro Pedro Henrique fez sua reestreia pelo Athletico-PR no último sábado (22) onde a equipe enfrentou o Fluminense e saiu derrotada pelo placar de 1 a 0. Esta é a segunda passagem do zagueiro pela equipe paranaense sendo que a primeira foi em 2019 quando acertou empréstimo diretamente da sua antiga equipe, o Corinthians.

Naquela temporada, foram 16 jogos disputados e dois títulos conquistados, a Levain Cup e a Copa do Brasil, ambas conquistas inéditas para a galeria de troféus do Furacão. Os números do zagueiro em pouco tempo foram excelentes, somando as 16 partidas como titular, sendo 13 delas pelo Campeonato Brasileiro. E foi exatamente pelo Brasileirão que o zagueiro teve seu período mais destacado em aproveitamento com sete vitórias, três empates e três derrotas, conquistando 24 pontos em 39 disputados.

Com o zagueiro em campo, o time sofreu apenas sete gols, média de 0,53 por jogo. Cenário esse bem diferente das outras 17 partidas da competição em que o atleta esteve no banco quando o rubro-negro sofreu 13 gols, com média 0,76 gols sofridos por partida.

Na temporada, a zaga do Athletico vem demonstrando problemas principalmente no quesito de gols tomados. Enquanto esteve com o time principal (já que boa parte do estadual, seguindo a política dos últimos anos, foi disputado com o time de Aspirantes) foram seus partidas jogadas e oito gols sofridos, média de 1,3 gols tomados por jogo.

A dupla que mais jogou junta neste período foi Lucas Halter e Thiago Heleno, que atuaram em três oportunidades juntos, tendo sido a última vez da dupla o revés para o Santos por 3 a 1 na Vila Belmiro no último dia 16 de agosto.

The remaining three matches are part of a suspended sentence over a one-year period that could come into force following any further disciplinary breaches by the Sri Lanka batsman

ESPNcricinfo staff17-Oct-2017

Danushka Gunathilaka’s suspension for six white-ball matches has been revised to three games, following a meeting of Sri Lanka Cricket’s executive committee in Colombo on Monday. The remaining three matches are part of a suspended sentence over a one-year period, which could come into force in the event of any further disciplinary breaches. He has also been fined 20% of his annual contract fee. The executive committee’s decision came after an appeal on behalf of the player by the Sinhalese Sports Club.The suspension, which was handed out earlier this month, was the reason behind his omission from the squad for the ongoing series against Pakistan. ESPNcricinfo understands Gunathilaka missed a training session, turned up to a match without his gear, and was generally found to have had an indifferent attitude towards training – all during Sri Lanka’s recent home series against India. This was his first serious case of misconduct.The matter was brought to SLC’s notice by Asanka Gurusinha, the cricket manager, and was taken up board’s CEO, Ashley de Silva.Gunathilaka has averaged 42.41 in ODIs this year. He was particularly prolific during the home series against Zimbabwe in June, hitting three half-centuries and a maiden ODI ton in Sri Lanka’s 2-3 loss.

Graham Onions, Durham’s veteran quick bowler, has become the latest senior player to announce his departure from Chester-le-Street after a 13-year career

‘It’s been an emotional few weeks’ – Onions

Graham Onions, Durham’s veteran quick bowler, has become the latest senior player to announce his departure from Chester-le-Street, meaning that this week’s final County Championship match of the season, against Worcestershire at New Road, will be his 139th and final appearance for a club he has represented with distinction since 2004.Onions, who played nine Tests and four ODIs for England between 2009 and 2012, was unable to agree terms over the second year of a two-year deal and joins a mass exodus of players that already includes the top-order batsmen, Mark Stoneman and Scott Borthwick, who left for Surrey last season, and the T20 captain, Paul Coughlin, who is headed for Nottinghamshire. Keaton Jennings, the one-day captain and recent England opener, is also expected to move to Notts, albeit that depends on their promotion to Division One of the County Championship.It is not yet confirmed where Onions, 35, is headed for the 2018 season, although both Lancashire and Kent are thought to be possible destinations for one of county cricket’s most reliable performers.The move is another body-blow for a club that has been left reeling since its enforced relegation from the top flight of the Championship last season, and subsequent points deduction, as punishment for requiring a financial bail-out from the ECB. Last week, Ian Botham, the club president, warned that the drain of so many senior players would have a devastating long-term effect on Durham’s ability to uphold the standards of an academy that has produced several of the most talented England players of the past decade..”We need senior players in the dressing room and, at the moment, I’m losing them left right and centre” said Botham. “I feel very sorry for the coaching staff and academy, because they aren’t seeing their achievements come to fruition.”Onions, who was one of those academy graduates, has taken a club-record 522 first-class wickets for Durham in a career that has encompassed three County Championship titles between 2008 and 2013. His career-best figures of 9 for 67 came against Nottinghamshire in 2012, en route to a season’s haul of 72 wickets. He went one better in 2013, when he was named the PCA’s County Championship bowler of the season for his role in Durham’s third title in six years.Durham had been understandably keen to retain the services of their senior bowler, who was out of contract at the end of this season. Although they were able to agree financial terms for the 2018 season only, talks broke down over the offer of a two-year extension – the second year had been conditional on Onions avoiding serious injury in year one, having missed a month earlier this summer with a back problem.A further stumbling block came with the long-term planning for Onions’ post-playing career. While Durham had been keen to support him in pursuing a coaching career once he hangs up his boots, they were unable to give any guarantees about a place on the county coaching staff.”At such an important point in his career DCCC understand Graham’s desire to maximise his security,” said the club in a statement. “Graham has played a huge part in the history of Durham County Cricket Club since making his first-class debut in 2004. He was part of the County Championship winning side in 2008, 2009 and 2013 and helped Durham win the Royal London One Day Cup in 2014.”DCCC are extremely proud of Graham’s development that saw him play Test cricket for England and recently become Durham’s leading first-class wicket-taker. The club would like to thank Graham for his exceptional service and wish him well for the future.”Onions said: “It has been the hardest decision I have ever had to make. I genuinely love Durham County Cricket Club and hoped to finish my career here.”Unfortunately, we were unable to agree on the length of contract and there doesn’t appear to be any guaranteed opportunities for a coaching role in the future.”So, with a heavy heart I have to leave Durham to ensure a securer future for my family. I would like to thank the club and the members for your support over the last 15 years.”I hope I will be remembered for wearing the Durham badge with pride and always giving 100%. Durham will always hold a special place in my heart and I hope to return one day”.

Após a saída de Rafinha, o Flamengo agilizou as tratativas em relação à lateral direita. E o primeiro tiro já acertou o alvo: trata-se de Mauricio Isla, chileno e de 32 anos, que deve ser anunciado pelo clube nas próximas horas. Mas não deve parar por aí: Guga, do Atlético-MG, é visto com bons olhos, otimismo internamente e pode reforçar o clube ainda este mês.

Rubro-Negro declarado, Guga está no radar do Fla desde 2019. Conforme informou inicialmente o site do “Globo Esporte”, o lateral de 21 anos e da Seleção Brasileira olímpica está empolgado para jogar no clube do coração e já acenou positivamente para que o seu estafe sacramente o acordo.

Conversas entre as partes (Flamengo e empresários) com o Atlético-MG, nesse sentido, devem ser aquecidas em instantes. O valor inicial a ser oferecido, a princípio, será de 4 milhões de euros (cerca de R$26,3 milhões na cotação atual) pelos direitoseconômicos de Guga, cuja fatia é a seguinte:75% do Atlético-MG, a sua atual equipe, e 25% do Avaí, que o revelou.

Guga se projetou ao cenário nacional quando, em 2018, se destacou na campanha do Avaí no acesso à Série A do Brasileirão. Na temporada seguinte, o Atlético-MG, então, o adquiriu por, aproximadamente,R$ 8 milhões.

Leeds United remain in the market to bolster the depth in their squad for their challenging Championship season ahead, and now a new update has emerged on the club's pursuit of a potential target.

What's the latest on Leeds' interest in Nat Phillips?

According to journalist and transfer insider Peter O'Rourke, Leeds are preparing a big-money offer to sign Liverpool defender Nat Phillips this summer.

As per a report written for Football Insider, O'Rourke has claimed that the Whites will go back into the market for defensive reinforcements after Liam Cooper suffered an injury blow, with Phillips named alongside Taylor Harwood-Bellis as the prime targets to replace the centre-back during his recovery.

Will Leeds sign Nat Phillips?

There is no doubt that Daniel Farke will be feeling the pressure following a number of injury issues already plaguing his squad at Elland Road, alongside ongoing transfer drama involving Italian winger Wilfried Gnonto and midfielder Tyler Adams.

Crysencio Summerville is out of action with a groin strain, whilst Junior Firpo is still recovering from torn lateral ligaments in his knee and not expected to be back for at least four weeks, as well as a huge blow to Liam Cooper who will be out of action for eight weeks due to a ruptured plantar fascia.

As a result, the signing of Phillips could not be a more urgent for the West Yorkshire club, as his experience of Championship football and quality in the centre-back role would be a major asset to Farke over the upcoming fixtures for Leeds in the second tier.

The Liverpool defender has struggled for game-time at Anfield over his tenure at the club due to the high-quality competition the club boasts with Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip, Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez all ahead of the Bolton-born titan.

Indeed, all has not been lost for Phillips – who has a reported price tag of £10m – as he has taken every opportunity to prove his worth when either leaned on by Jurgen Klopp or during loan spells away from Merseyside, especially during his six-month stint Bournemouth in the 2021/22 season.

Over 17 Championship appearances, the 26-year-old – once hailed "colossal" by journalist Josh Bunting – tallied up an 82% pass completion rate, kept eight clean sheets, successfully completed 50% of his dribbles and won 65% of his duels combined, as well as averaging 76.1 touches and 53.5 accurate passes per game, proving he is a huge and dominant presence on the pitch.

Despite being rarely-seen in the starting eleven under Klopp, the Liverpool boss has waxed lyrical about Phillips' strengths in the past, following an outstanding performance in the Champions League back in 2021:

"Oh my god. What a boy he is, what player he is, what a night it is for him."

"The concentration level he shows now week in week out since he is playing for us is absolutely incredible."

With that being said, if Leeds could secure the services of Phillips it would undoubtedly soften the blow in Cooper's absence, but would also provide Farke with a high quality defender who could be a reliable contributor throughout the season.

بعد خروج باريس سان جيرمان من دوري أبطال أوروبا على يد بوروسيا دورتموند، أمس الثلاثاء، رفقة كيليان مبابي، أصبح من المنتظر إعلان انضمامه بشكل رسمي إلى ريال مدريد.

اللاعب الفرنسي أقرب لـ ريال مدريد أكثر من أي وقتٍ مضى، وأكثر من أي نادٍ آخر، في ظل التقارير الفرنسية والإسبانية التي تؤكد ذلك.

وينتهي عقد مبابي مع باريس سان جيرمان 30 يونيو المقبل، ولا ينوي التمديد مع النادي الفرنسي، مع تصريحات رئيس النادي ناصر الخليفي التي أشار فيها لنهاية رحلة اللاعب مع أمراء العاصمة.

صحيفة “سبورت” الإسبانية، أكدت بأن انتقال مبابي الذي طال انتظاره إلى ريال مدريد، سيتم الإعلان عنه خلال أيام قليلة، في انتظار ما سيحدث مساء اليوم بين ريال مدريد وبايرن ميونخ.

ويستضيف ريال مدريد نظيره بايرن ميونخ على ملعب سانتياجو بيرنابيو، ضمن إياب دور نصف نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا، بعد نهاية لقاء الذهاب بالتعادل الإيجابي 2-2.

وأشارت الصحيفة إلى أن نتيجة مباراة اليوم، ستحدد ما إذا كان سيتم الإعلان عن صفقة مبابي هذا الأسبوع، أم يتم الانتظار حتى نهاية الموسم بشكل رسمي.

وفي حالة فوز ريال مدريد والتأهل إلى نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا، لن يتردد في الإعلان خلال أيام قليلة عن انضمام مبابي لكتيبة الملكي بداية من الموسم المقبل.

من جانبه، يحرص مبابي على إنهاء الصفقة مبكرًا، قبل بطولة يورو 2024، من أجل التركيز مع المنتخب الفرنسي، الذي سيخوض المنافسة التي ستنطلق في 14 يونيو المقبل.

Southampton boss Russell Martin could be about to sign a talented Premier League midfielder who could be joined by another star of a 'similar mould' at St Mary's Stadium, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

What's the latest Southampton transfer news?

As per Transfermarkt, Southampton have brought in three signings this window in the form of Shea Charles, Ryan Manning and Joe Lumley as their return to the Sky Bet Championship gears into full swing.

Acquiring a striker is high on Martin's list as he aims to add more offensive depth and Swansea City striker Joel Piroe is a name of interest to the former Scotland international; however, it is said that he will cost in the region of between £15-20 million, as per Football Insider.

Presumably, Piroe could be drafted in on the South Coast as a potential replacement for Che Adams, who is garnering attention from Crystal Palace amid reports that Roy Hodgson could be set to submit a £10 million offer for the 27-year-old, according to The Evening Standard.

In terms of midfield targets, West Ham United star Flynn Downes is reportedly close to sealing a loan move to Southampton and will undergo medical examinations later this week, as per TEAMtalk.

Downes, who earns £25,000 per week on the books at the London Stadium, is available to move elsewhere following news that the Hammers have completed deals to sign James Ward-Prowse and Edson Alvarez.

Last term, the 24-year-old was utilised mainly as a squad rotation option for West Ham and racked up 35 appearances across all competitions.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, transfer insider Jones thinks that Downes is the archetype of player Martin will look to bring to Southampton this window and he has also hinted that another arrival could be on the way to strengthen Saints' midfield.

Jones stated: “I think they can find players that have been well prepared to get to this level of football and that’s from coming through good academies and being on the verge of making a big breakthrough in the game, that’s the kind of player that they want.

“Obviously Downes, we know enough about him by now to know that he could do that. But I think that he’ll be joined by somebody else at that similar mould.”

What else could occur at Southampton this window?

Telegraph reporter John Percy has issued an update on Twitter X regarding Southampton's interest in Manchester City youngster Taylor Harwood-Bellis, stating: "Manchester City defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis is a loan target for Championship clubs including Leicester, Leeds and Southampton. City are also open to selling the England under-21 captain at the right price before the window closes."

According to Sky Sports Transfer Centre, Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund are keen on Southampton defender Armel Bella-Kotchap; however, it is unlikely that the 21-year-old heads to Signal Iduna Park this summer.

The outlet claim that Bella-Kotchap has 'reservations' about moving to the German giants as he may not play regularly between now and EURO 2024.

As per The Evening Standard, Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy is being eyed by Premier League duo Everton and Crystal Palace as they aim to strengthen their respective goalkeeping options.

The current trio of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood have a more outstanding collection of fast-bowling attributes than the pace trio of 2013, according to Ryan Harris

Daniel Brettig07-Nov-2017

Ryan Harris rates Australia’s Ashes pace battery of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins as superior to the trio he formed with Mitchell Johnson and Peter Siddle to inflict a 5-0 sweep on England in 2013-14, but believes both teams face potential trouble in the form of unsettled batting line-ups.In a judgement some may find surprising, given the older group combined for a total of 627 Test wickets, including 75 in that Ashes series alone, Harris said that this summer’s combination boasted a more outstanding collection of fast-bowling attributes than the one he was a part of, starting with Hazlewood’s greater height.”I think so. Hazlewood’s probably doing the job that I did and he’s quicker than me, and he gets more bounce,” Harris said in Adelaide when asked if the current attack was better than his own. “And you’ve got Starc who can definitely do a Johnson role, and you’ve got Cummins so you’ve probably got an extra bit of pace.”Cummins on his day, he’s fast as well. Obviously we did a good job last time but the key is going to be working as a team, as a bowling unit. That’s what we did well last time and obviously got the results.”Australia and England each enter the series with doubt swirling around their batting line-ups – for the visitors at the top of the order and the hosts in the middle order. Then there is the uncertainty around the possible participation of Ben Stokes – pending a police investigation and an ECB internal investigation – after his involvement in a fight outside a Bristol nightclub during the northern season. Harris said these issues raised the potential for a closer series than four years ago.”I think both squads are a bit unsettled, more on their batting line-ups, which I think brings them closer together,” Harris said. “I think Australia have got a pretty good idea of who they want to pick but having unsettled feelings going into that first Test – the bowling line-ups are fine – but I think they’re on even par with their batting line-ups.””[Stokes missing] it’s huge. He’s the one that if England lose wickets at the top he is the one that comes out and steadies or counter-attacks. It’s a big hole for England to be honest. I’m sure Australia will be happy he’s not here but they’d also want him here because you want to play against and win against the best. I guess time will tell whether he comes but I think it’s a big hole for them.”Joe Root’s tourists are in Adelaide preparing for a four-day floodlit fixture that will give them a first look at the conditions in which the inaugural day-night Ashes Test will be staged in early December. Harris is coaching a Cricket Australia XI that lacks bowlers of the sort of velocity expected from Starc, Cummins and Hazlewood, but he still expected the adjustment to be a challenging one for England.”The ball will probably swing early around start time, it may stop swinging in that sort of 30-45 overs and then when it gets to dusk the grass seems to stand up and it zips around,” he said. “We saw in the Shield game the other week that Starc got it to talk a bit around that time when the sun goes down.”Talking to a couple of boys they find it tough to bat around that time so that’s where we’ll try to make it as hard as we can for them. Hopefully we’re not batting around that time, that’s my plan. But they’ll have to get used to that real hard seeing time, and we’ve got some good bowlers here. We haven’t got the pace of Starc or Cummins or Hazlewood, but they’ll have to get used to it.”As for the possibility that the moving pink ball would provide an advantage for England, Harris said he saw bowling attacks as the strong suit of each team. “The bowling line-ups are world class and I think they’re going to have a big say on each Test match,” he said. “With the ball moving around, it’s been well documented that we’ve had trouble with that, but we’re in our own conditions.”But Anderson and Broad – I’m not sure about England’s third quick, probably Woakes – but those two blokes can destroy games and destroy line-ups and they’re proven good bowlers over here. Anderson’s gotten better in these conditions, it’s pacey and Broad likesthe pace.”Having met with the national coach Darren Lehmann before venturing to Adelaide, Harris said the invitational side was not planning to “bat for four days” but would endeavour to make life difficult for the tourists, while also keeping a close eye out for any information that might be useful once the Test matches start.
