Arsenal open talks for £109m goal machine who’d make Odegaard unplayable

The return of the Premier League is less than three weeks away, and while they still had a good campaign last season, Arsenal will be desperate to go one better in 2024/25.

Last year, Mikel Arteta's side produced the best defence in the league but scored five goals fewer than Manchester City, which saw them miss out on the title by just two points on the final day.

With the defence already strengthened following the signing of Riccardo Calafiori, Edu Gaspar and Co can now switch their focus to the attack.

Based on recent reports, that appears to be happening, as the latest name touted for a move to the club is an incredible goalscorer and someone who'd help make Martin Odegaard unplayable.

Arsenal transfer news

According to a recent report from Football Transfers, Arsenal have rekindled their interest in Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

Napoli star Victor Osimhen

In recent weeks, it had been widely reported that the Nigerian superstar was set to join French giants Paris Saint-Germain once negotiations between the two clubs were completed. However, according to this report, that deal is now dead and very much off the table following the Parisians' refusal to pay the striker's €130m release clause, which is about £109m.

As a result, other clubs, including Arsenal, have re-entered the frame, with Football Transfers claiming that the Gunners have returned to Napoli to reopen talks over a potential move.

If the North Londoners were to pay his full release clause, it would be a record-breaking transfer, but based on his performances over the last couple of seasons, he's likely worth it – he could also make Odegaard one of the best midfielders in the world.

Why Osimhen would make Odegaard unplayable

So, while there may be several reasons why Osimhen would help Odegaard truly assert himself as one of the best midfielders in the world, there is one leading and overriding reason: his incredible output.

The Arsenal captain has proven he's a brilliant leader, technician and even goalscorer over the last few seasons. However, had he been playing alongside a genuinely clinical striker since joining the club, his tally of 25 assists in 153 appearances would be significantly higher.

According to Understat, the Norwegian international has consistently fallen short of his expected assists in the league by at least 1.50 every year for the past three seasons. This underscores the fact that his teammates are not converting the chances he creates as frequently as they should.

This is where the "world-class" Nigerian, as dubbed by managerial icon José Mourinho, would come into play, as in his 133 appearances for Napoli, he has scored 76 goals, equating to a goal every 1.75 games.

Moreover, over the last season, he has comfortably outperformed Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, racking up 57 goal involvements to the German's 31 and the Brazilian's 34.

Ultimately, while he's likely going to cost a king's ransom, Osimhen has proven himself to be one of the best goalscorers in world football, and with him playing in front of the mercurial Odegaard next season, the Gunners could end up outscoring everyone in the league, with the Norwegian racking up the most assists.

Therefore, Edu and Co should do whatever they can to ensure the Napoli star makes his way to N5 in the coming weeks.

O atacante Rafael Navarro pode estar de malas prontas para jogar no futebol dos Estados Unidos. De acordo com o “GE”, o centroavante do Botafogo recebeu uma proposta do Minnesota United para integrar a equipe na disputa da MLS em 2022. Os representantes do jogador já receberam a proposta oficial.

Em um primeiro momento, representantes da equipe americana negociaram com o atacante. Contudo, o valor pedido por Navarro foi recusado pelo Minnesota. As partes aos poucos chegaram a um denominador comum.

O objetivo é que o centroavante fique por três anos na equipe americana. Os agentes ainda discutem outros detalhes. Navarro chegou a ser sondado pelo Internacional e Miami FC, além de clubes como Anderlecht e Hellas Verona.

A permanência de Rafael Navarro no Alvinegro é considerada pouco provável. Mesmo com o apelo da torcida, que gritou “Fica Navarro”,seu salário está acima da realidade financeira do clube. O atacante é destaque do Botafogo na Série B e marcou dez gols na competição.

'I still back my game against spin' – Zak Crawley hoping to prove fitness and press for England recall

Difficulties against Lasith Embuldeniya have not prompted batsman to make changes

Alan Gardner20-Feb-2021Four Tests into England’s six-match subcontinental winter, it is fair to say things could have gone more smoothly for Zak Crawley. A difficult baptism to the prevailing conditions in Sri Lanka, where Crawley made scores of 9, 8, 5 and 13, was followed by a “freak” injury at the start of the India tour, when he slipped on his spikes outside the changing room in Chennai and the resultant wrist sprain ruled him out of contention.Crawley is now back in training and looking to prove his fitness ahead of the third Test, a day-night match starting in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. And despite the difficulties he experienced against the left-arm spin of Sri Lanka’s Lasith Embuldeniya – who dismissed him four times in four innings – he has vowed to “stick with what has got me here” rather than seek to make technical changes.Related

Wood backs rotation policy as England eye pink-ball dividend

England’s top three has been a moveable feast – if “feast” isn’t too misleading a word – in Sri Lanka and India: Crawley opened alongside Dom Sibley for two Tests, with Jonny Bairstow at No. 3; Rory Burns then returned from paternity leave to partner Sibley, and with Bairstow rested and Crawley injured, Dan Lawrence was pushed up to first drop for the two games in Chennai.Of the five, only Sibley and Lawrence have scored fifties – although Bairstow averaged 46.33 in Sri Lanka – the latter on debut and the former after he opted to change his approach in response to three single-figure scores. Crawley, who finished the English summer by scoring 267 at No. 3 against Pakistan, described the two Galle Tests as a “great learning curve” but intends to stick to his approach should he come up against India’s Axar Patel, another left-arm spinner capable of bowling with the new ball.”It’s important not to change too much and I still back my game against spin,” he said. “It’s still a great learning curve for me that I need to be a bit sharper and work on a few things, doing things that I do best. There’s room for improvement which is always positive.”I’m not going to let a few dismissals change the way I play. I had a couple of good balls, I hit one rash shot. Well, I don’t think it was a rash shot, I just mis-executed one shot. So for me there is no problem, I’m just going to continue playing the way I play. Axar Patel is a top-quality performer so I’m going to give him the respect he deserves. It’s not a problem in my eyes, I’m just going to try to improve the way I play.”ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Crawley said that rather than making any tweaks, he had been paying attention to his team-mates in the nets and would focus on “using my height bit more, and getting out to the spinners and then right back” if he is picked for a recall in Ahmedabad.”I’ve watched quite a few of the top players in our group,” he said. “The top players keep it simple, that’s what I’m going to try to do. I’m not going to over-complicate anything. Like I said before, a couple of dismissals aren’t going to change the way I play too much. I’m just going to try to get better at the things I do.”In Sri Lanka with the new ball, one went straight on, one spun. A couple spun and caught the edge, I didn’t think there was much I could have done about those. And I mis-executed one shot and that was the way it went for me. I’ll stick with what has got me here and try to get better at that.”In this environment [of] Test cricket, there’s a lot of scrutiny and it’s very easy to change quickly. But I’ve played a game that’s got me here so far, and a couple of Test matches in Sri Lanka aren’t going to change that. If down the line it continued to be a problem, then that’s something to look at that. There’s obviously been a bit of talk about the way Embuldeniya got a few wickets early in Sri Lanka. But I think for me it’s all about sticking with what I know, and my opinion and people’s opinion who’ve been around me this whole time. For now I think it’s about playing my game.”Zak Crawley has returned to the England nets after his injury•BCCI

As for the wrist injury, Crawley has returned to batting in the nets and taking part in fielding drills, and was keen to put the incident behind him – albeit he admitted to being “slightly disappointed” that the solution to the problem, some carpet strategically placed on top of a marble floor, was already in place outside the India dressing room.”I was one of the first players to go out on the field with my spikes on and basically my feet went out from underneath me, and to protect my head I stuck out my hand. It was one of those freak incidents where my arm took all the weight. A real shame to miss some Test cricket.”Crawley also echoed Mark Wood in suggesting that the pink ball might aid England’s efforts to bounce back strongly after India levelled the series in Chennai.”It seems to be swinging more than the red ball and doing a bit more for the seamers,” Crawley said. “It seems to be a bit harder so the spinners are skidding it on a bit more as well. So it’s going to play different than the red ball. I expect to see more seam in this game. The spinners are still going to have to play a big role. I’d be surprised if they produced an absolute green seamer. I think it will still spin quite a bit but the seamers are going to have a bit more of a chance than in the last couple.”

Chelsea offered £150k-per-week forward who Tuchel once told them to sign

Chelsea have been approached over signing a £150,000-per-week forward as his agent offers him out to clubs, and he's a player who former Blues boss Thomas Tuchel once told the Stamford Bridge hierarchy to strike a deal for.

Stewart and Winstanley targeting new forward for Chelsea

The west Londoners have been one of the Premier League's busiest sides in terms of total summer arrivals, with Chelsea potentially about to take their tally of new signings into double figures for the window.

Chelsea could now sell £200,000-a-week star they think won't suit Maresca

The Blues aren’t convinced he’s the right fit tactically.

ByEmilio Galantini Aug 1, 2024

Teenage KRC Genk goalkeeper Mike Penders is reportedly on the verge of joining Chelsea after agreeing to join Enzo Maresca's side. Reports claim a £16.8 million Chelsea deal is agreed for Penders, who will remain at Genk on loan for the rest of the season to further his development.

If Todd Boehly and co manage to officially get the 19-year-old over the line, he'll be Chelsea's tenth signing of the summer, following deals for Tosin Adarabioyo (Fulham), Omari Kellyman (Aston Villa), Renato Veiga (FC Basel), Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Leicester City), Filip Jorgensen (Villarreal), Marc Guiu (Barcelona), Estevao Willian (Palmeiras), Caleb Wiley (Atlanta United) and Aaron Anselmino (Boca Juniors).

Co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley, who have taken charge of the club's transfer plans over these last few months, have been very active in the market – but only a handful of the aforementioned bunch can be classed as senior upgrades.

Tosin, Jorgensen and Dewsbury-Hall look the most likely to make an immediate impact in Maresca's first team, while the rest appear to be more long-term investments on Chelsea's part, due to their age.

There is also the matter of bringing in a new wide forward or striker, which is what Chelsea are reportedly planning behind-the-scenes. The Blues have been linked with Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams recently, and attempted to strike a deal for Michael Olise, before he joined Bayern Munich.

Chelsea were even considering Raheem Sterling as a makeweight in talks for Olise, but the 22-year-old instead chose to link up with Vincent Kompany in Bavaria.

Chelsea offered Federico Chiesa by agent as they consider approach

It will be interesting to see who they opt to bring in as an alternative, with Juventus star Federico Chiesa emerging as a possibility recently.

He scored 10 goals and assisted three others for Juve last season, and according to journalist Simon Phillips, Chelsea have been offered Chiesa by his agent as they consider taking him up on the proposal.

federico-chiesa-newcastle-united-transfer-news-premier-league

“The agent of Federico Chiesa has approached Chelsea, SPTC sources understand," wrote Phillips. “Chelsea have not yet given a definitive answer, and have been considering it.

"But sources think it’s unlikely. His agent spoke to Chelsea though because we have had recent interest in Chiesa. Thomas Tuchel suggested him to the board when he was in charge, and the board did seriously look at signing him. It wasn’t possible or viable at that time, but Chiesa does still have some admirers at Chelsea, so let’s see if anything comes of that one."

The £150,000-per-week forward could be available for a cut-price £25 million due to his contract, which is set to expire next year. The winger also boasts over half a century of caps for Italy at international level, and helped the Azzurri clinch a Euro 2020 title at the expense of England.

India seek rapid response after England show how it's done

England 1-0 up in five-match series after comprehensive eight-wicket win

Valkerie Baynes13-Mar-20214:44

Should India play an extra seamer?

Big pictureThe emphatic style of England’s victory in the first match is what resonates most and India need to find a rapid response. That the hosts never recovered from 22 for 3 – their second-lowest powerplay score in T20Is – was key. It left them with an indefensible total of just 124 for 7, England’s top order mowing down the paltry target with ease.Having put their faith in an aggressive batting strategy, it falls to India’s batsmen to remedy the situation. Yes, Shreyas Iyer top-scored with 67 but failures at the top of the order and an extended tail meant the plan didn’t come off this time. By contrast, everything England tried worked first time, from opening the bowling with sole spinner Adil Rashid to pummelling India with pace and bounce via Jofra Archer, Mark Wood and Chris Jordan. Then the 72-run stand between Jos Buttler and Jason Roy, whose 49 saw him pass 20 for the first time in five T20I innings, broke the back of the chase. It meant that India’s selection of three spinners in contrast to England’s one became a moot point.Related

Morgan hails bowling effort as England go 1-0 up

India's high risk, high reward tactics should be given a chance

Eoin Morgan acknowledged that his side expects to come under pressure during this series between the No. 1 and No. 2 sides in the world, but the quality of England’s full-strength side means he has back-up plans aplenty. Like England, India have the personnel. It’s a case of whether they can execute better this time to avoid conceding a 2-0 lead in this five-match series.Form guide(last five completed matches, most recent first)England WWWWL
India LLWWWVirat Kohli and Eoin Morgan shake hands after England’s win in the first match•Getty Images

In the spotlightVirat Kohli said that Rohit Sharma would be rested for the early part of this series, which suggests they will persist with Shikhar Dhawan. But does the risk of going 0-2 down prompt an early recall for Sharma? India’s top-order failure in the first match does not by any means fall at Dhawan’s feet – their top three combined for just five runs while Kohli fell for his second straight international duck and KL Rahul made just one. However, with Sharma India’s first-choice opener alongside Rahul, Dhawan has arguably a more limited window in which to produce the kind of knock India need.It’s near impossible to pick holes in an England side which won so comprehensively with bowlers and batsmen alike performing. To be critical would perhaps be to draw attention to the question of how they get the most from Ben Stokes in this format. His 1 for 25 at an economy rate of 8.33 made him England’s most expensive bowler in the first game, although he was hardly costly, and the fact he wasn’t required to bat is further testament to the strength of England’s performance. But there’s a sense that a batting average of 18.84 and bowling average of 37.41 simply belie Stokes’ calibre and it feels as though at the moment he forms part of the “Plan B or C” that Morgan was grateful his side didn’t need to resort to in the series opener.Team newsEngland could be reluctant to tinker with a side which won the first match so comprehensively. Morgan said the likes of Reece Topley and Tom Curran were unlucky to miss out on selection but it appears the most likely change would come if the pitch looks particularly slow, in which case Moeen Ali could come in as a second spinner, possibly at the expense of Sam Curran.England (possible): 1 Jason Roy, 2 Jos Buttler (wk), 3 Dawid Malan, 4 Jonny Bairstow, 5 Ben Stokes, 6 Eoin Morgan (capt), 7 Sam Curran, 8 Jofra Archer, 9 Chris Jordan, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 Mark WoodIndia could be accused of going too spin-heavy in the first match given the success of England’s seamers so they may opt for more pace, possibly bringing in Navdeep Saini for Washington Sundar or Axar Patel. With both spinners offering valuable depth to the batting line-up and India unlikely to dispense with their ‘go hard or go home’ approach one match in, the choice is more complex than a simple ‘need for speed’.India (possible): 1 Shikhar Dhawan, 2 KL Rahul, 3 Virat Kohli (capt), 4 Rishabh Pant (wk), 5 Shreyas Iyer, 6 Hardik Pandya, 7 Shardul Thakur, 8 Washington Sundar/Navdeep Saini, 9 Axar Patel, 10 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 11 Yuzvendra ChahalWill India stick with Washington Sundar for the second T20I?•Getty Images

Pitch and conditionsWith an array of pitches available at the vast Narendra Modi Stadium, there’s every chance the second match will be played on a pitch other than the two-paced surface of the first match, on which the spinners were able to extract wickets but England’s seamers dominated with pace and bounce. With a scorching day of 38 degrees Celsius forecast and low humidity, it looks like still being very warm and dry when play commences in the evening.Stats and trivia England have won their last five away T20I series and eight of their last 10 T20I series overall. KL Rahul fell to Jofra Archer for the first time in T20s in the opening match. He has scored 89 runs off 61 balls vs Archer in T20s with 11 fours and three sixes. Yuzvendra Chahal has conceded 82 sixes in 46 T20Is. Only Tim Southee (90 sixes in 78 innings) has conceded more. Virat Kohli needs 72 more runs to become first man to 3000 T20I runsQuotes”It’s nice to get the big players out early doors to keep the crowd quiet. It was nice to get him out very early. If you get a wicket early doors, or if you’re batting and hit some sixes or fours, the crowd goes quiet [and] you can actually hear yourselves talk to each other. That’s not something you can generally do in India… especially if India are going well or taking wickets.”

Personal terms agreed: Brighton now closing in on mammoth £70m double deal

Brighton are closing in on a mammoth double deal as the Seagulls continue to spend lavishly ahead of the new Premier League campaign.

Fresh start for Brighton

The arrival of former FC St Pauli boss Fabian Hürzeler this summer following the departure of Roberto De Zerbi has ushered in a new era at the AMEX stadium, and they have not been afraid to back their new manager in the transfer market.

The Seagulls' record transfer heading into the transfer window stood at the £29m that they splashed out on Joao Pedro 12 months ago, but that has since been eclipsed by the arrival of Yankuba Minteh from Newcastle in a deal that set them back £30m earlier in the summer.

Yankuba Minteh scores for Feyenoord

He has by no means been the only expensive addition either; in fact, three of Brighton's four most expensive ever signings have come this summer. The south coast side have also added Mats Weiffer from Feyenoord in a £25m move, as well as concluding a deal for 20-year-old winger Brajan Gruda more recently, which set them back another £25m.

"I saw the big impact he made last season in the Bundesliga and he's a player I admire a lot," Hurzeler explained upon his arrival on the south coast, with the 20-year-old having been linked with a move to Bayern Munich previously.

Brighton close in on £70m double signing

That comes as the Seagulls are closing in on deals for both Leeds United forward Georginio Rutter and also EURO 2024 defender Ferdi Kadioglu, both of which could match or break their transfer record once more.

Brighton have already agreed personal terms with Rutter, and have triggered the Frenchman's £40m release clause. Though Leeds are battling to keep him at Elland Road, the reliable David Ornstein has revealed that "Brighton expect Georginio Rutter to agree" to a move to the AMEX stadium, while Sky Sports claim that personal terms have been agreed.

Transfer window 2024/25: All the latest transfers from England and Scotland

With the summer transfer window coming to a close, here are all the latest deals involving clubs from England and Scotland.

ByStephan Georgiou Aug 30, 2024

The same can be said for Fenerbahçe defender Ferdi Kadioglu, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that a "long term deal at Brighton is ready and agreed in details", with the two clubs now in talks over a fee. Meanwhile, Sky Sports report that those talks are "advanced" with a decision to be made "soon" over the defender, who is valued at 35m euros (£30m).

The pair would take the club's spending close to £200m and be a major statement of intent from the Seagulls, who have been traditionally known for selling talent at a massive profit. Now seemingly more willing to take risks, they could be a major player this season should these deals get over the line.

"الأمر ليس بيدي".. أراوخو يثير الجدل بشأن مصيره مع برشلونة رغم التجديد

رد قائد الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي برشلونة، رونالد أراوخو، على أنباء رحيله في الميركاتو الصيفي المقبل على سبيل الإعارة رغم التجديد قبل أيام قليلة.

أراوخو، الذي سجل هدفًا في التعادل 2-2 أمام أتالانتا ببطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا يوم أمس، الأربعاء، جدد عقده مع العملاق الكتالوني حتى عام 2031.

وقال أراوخو في تصريحات عبر شبكة “موفيستار” الإسبانية: “سعيد جدًا بالهدف بعد تجديد عقدي مع برشلونة، يمكن للجميع رؤية العمل الذي أقوم به وما أقدمه على أرض الملعب”.

وتابع: “أشعر بتقدير الجماهير، وسأبقى هنا لسنوات عديدة إذا كان القرار بيدي، أريد الاستمرار هنا مع برشلونة”.

وعن مباراة أتالانتا، قال أراوخو: “قدمنا شوطًا أول جيدًا، وكنا قريبين من إنهاء مجموعة دوري أبطال أوروبا في الصدارة، لكننا أضعنا الفرصة في النهاية أمام خصم قوي مثل أتالانتا”.

واستمر: “كانت مواجهة رائعة ومثيرة بكل المقاييس، لم نتمكن من تحقيق المركز الأول الذي كنا نطمح إليه، لكنني سعيد بما قدمناه في هذه المرحلة من البطولة”.

وشدد في النهاية: “الجماهير متحمسة لما هو قادم، ولدينا فريق رائع، لكن علينا أن نحافظ على هذا الأداء ونكون متواضعين ونواصل العمل بجد”.
