Why Aston Villa have advantage in race for Bristol Rovers prodigy Kofi Shaw

Aston Villa are among a handful of teams that interested in signing a promising young star, according to a recent report. The Villans have made another impressive start to a campaign, but they will be disappointed to have thrown away three points on Sunday, as Ipswich Town came back to claim a 2-2 draw. But it continues an impressive start, and they will be looking to build on that as they prepare to face Bayern Munich and Manchester United this week.

Aston Villa now want to sign £50m midfield ace Emery knows well in January

He would be a major statement of intent for the Villans.

ByBen Browning Sep 30, 2024 Aston Villa transfer news

The Midlands side were very busy during the summer months, as Unai Emery was keen to put together a squad that is able to compete on multiple fronts. But despite the many comings and goings, it seems that the Premier League side are already putting plans in place for January, when the transfer window opens once again.

According to a recent report, Aston Villa are interested in a deal for Alex Baena, who plays for Villareal, a team that Emery used to manage. The 23-year-old broke into the first team during Emery’s reign, and he hasn’t looked back since, impressing a lot this season, so much so that Emery is keen to bring him to England.

As well as looking to sign Baena, Villa are also interested in signing Castello Lukeba from RB Leipzig in 2025. Real Madrid are also keen on signing the defender, but Monchi is positioning Villa ahead of the Spanish giants in a deal that could cost £60 million. And while Villa look at potential deals for first team additions like Baena and Lukeba, they are also keeping an eye on a younger talent, who could be one for years to come.

Aston Villa tracking Kofi Shaw from Bristol Rovers

According to journalist Alan Nixon, relayed by Birmingham World, Aston Villa are among the teams keeping an eye on Kofi Shaw of Bristol Rovers. Shaw, who is only 17, has burst onto the scene for the Gas this season, featuring a handful of times for them in various competitions.

The right winger’s performances have caught the attention of teams from higher up the football pyramid, with Leeds United and Southampton also keen on the player, as well as Villa, who will have an advantage due to NSWE’s previous dealings with his club.

Villa already have a relationship with Rovers, as they sent Lino Sousa to the Memorial Stadium in the summer, and while they may keep their eye on his development, they could also be taking in performances of Shaw in the coming weeks and months. Villa also sent Lamare Bogarde to Rovers to develop and he recently played in the club’s opening Champions League game against Young Boys.

Bristol Rovers boss Matt Taylor spoke last month about Shaw and stated that they are still aware of his age and taking their time with him. Taylor said: “We are still conscious that he is still only 17, so you do have to manage him a little bit, and he’s running as hard as he possibly can. Now we want to keep him in and around the first team.”

Chelsea chiefs really rate £62m player but could still let him go in January

Chelsea chiefs seriously rate a player in Enzo Maresca’s squad and hold him in very high esteem, but that apparently won’t stop a potential exit from happening in January.

Chelsea players who could be sold or loaned out in January

Maresca has been ruthless in telling his players whether or no they have a future under the Italian, as highlighted by his treatment of England international duo Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell over the summer.

Sterling eventually sealed a season-long loan move to Arsenal, but Chilwell failed to find a new home despite links with Premier League rivals Man United. As he candidly explained to the press around that time, Maresca didn’t fancy either player, and he was up front with them about that despite their big-name status.

“I’m not saying Raheem is not a good player but I prefer a different kind of winger,” said Maresca on Chelsea players who are not in his plans, speaking in late August.

“We have a big squad and it is impossible to give all of them minutes, so probably it is better to leave. Brutal? I just try to be honest. I spoke with Raheem before the City game and said he is going to struggle to get minutes with us.

“Chilwell is a lovely guy, but because of his position he is going to struggle with us.”

More men are set to follow Sterling out of the door. Regardless of Maresca re-introducing Chilwell to the senior squad – handing him 45 minutes in a recent 5-0 EFL Cup win over Barrow – the consensus is that the 27-year-old is still a firm candidate for the exit door.

Chelsea ready to offload Chilwell and midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka in the winter window, as the latter attracts interest from both AC Milan and clubs in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, defensive duo Benoit Badiashile and Axel Disasi will be sold by Chelsea if the right buyer comes in with an offer.

Then, there is of course the future of winger Mykhailo Mudryk. The Ukraine international, who has been relegated to a cup player by Maresca so far this season, appears to be battling for his immediate future in west London.

Chelsea really rate Mudryk but he could still leave in January

According to GiveMeSport, Chelsea chiefs actually still believe Mudryk is a “top-level talent”. Those within the club highly rate the 23-year-old, but his lack of form and opportunities means Chelsea may still choose to secure him a move away in January – potentially on loan to hand him more regular minutes.

The report even hints that Chelsea are optimistic he could challenge for a regular first team place next season, if he impresses on a temporary spell away, so it is clear that Todd Boehly and BlueCo envisage a future for the ex-Shakhtar Donetsk sensation under Maresca.

Signed for an initial £62 million, which could go up to as high as £89 million if add-ons are met, supporters will be praying that Mudryk can rediscover his very best and eventually contribute in this new era for the club.

There are reports that Chelsea could also decide to cut ties with Mudryk completely, so these next few months could be make or break for the forward.

Graeme van Buuren, Ryan Higgins give Gloucestershire sniff of remarkable win

Tail-end resistance and Northants collapse brings hosts back into the contest

Graeme van Buuren marshalled the tail to set up a Gloucestershire turnaround•Getty Images

Northamptonshire 327 and 92 for 7 (Higgins 3-26) lead Gloucestershire 191 (van Buuren 56, Procter 5-42) by 228 runsRyan Higgins led a Gloucestershire charge on third afternoon at Bristol as the home side came storming back into the match as Northamptonshire closed 92 for 7, leading by 228.Higgins took 3 for 26 and Tom Price 2 for 22 as the Glosters kept themselves alive in a game they looked well out of.Graeme van Buuren made 56 as superb resistance from Gloucestershire’s tail had earlier held up Northants to save the follow-on before they were eventually bowled out for 191.The rear-guard, which saw No. 10 Matt Taylor make 24 from 97 balls and Jared Warner 10 from a 82 deliveries, almost delivered a batting point but it certainly wrested back the initiative.The bowlers seized upon the momentum to leave Northants’ second innings in tatters.Price led the charge, striking in the fourth over as Emilio Gay played into his stumps trying to defend. Price added Rob Keogh palpably lbw to a full ball that nipped back.Higgins trapped Luke Procter lbw from round the wicket – with a suspicion that the left-hander had got outside the line of off stump. His later spell removed Harry Gouldstone, so impressive in the first innings, but who made only 7 before playing around a straight delivery and losing his middle stump.Adam Rossington was also bowled but this to a lovely delivery that swung away to hit off stump. He made 18 and there will be no captain to the rescue this time for the visitors.Ricardo Vasconcelos was also bowled. He moved in the pleasant way of his to 26 but played loosely outside off stump to one from Matt Taylor that seamed in. And Saif Zaib made 14 before he was squared up by Warner and edged behind.It was slippery stuff in the gloaming and followed some extraordinary resistance from the Gloucestershire tail.Resuming 90 for 6, replying to 327, the home side were in danger of conceding a huge lead.Zafar Gohar quickly fell to Procter for seven but the resistance began with an eighth-wicket stand of 45 between Price, who lasted 54 balls for his 16 and van Buuren.The No. 6 resumed on 19 and edged Procter through the slips for the day’s opening boundary before clipping him through midwicket and cutting Jack White through point.His second fifty of the summer came in 121 balls and helped give Gloucestershire a sniff of a remarkable turnaround.

"Special" player likely to quit and could join Tottenham despite new deal

A “special” player is likely to leave his club in 2025, despite only just signing a new contract, and it is believed he could join Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs' transfer plans for next year as Lange works behind-the-scenes

It has been a testing start to the season for manager Ange Postecoglou, with Spurs blowing hot and cold over their opening fixtures of the campaign.

Tottenham have "made a bid" to sign attacking gem who's "flying" right now

He’s a very wanted man.

ByEmilio Galantini Oct 16, 2024

Recently, Postecoglou’s side went on an impressive five-game winning streak in all competitions, with Wales winger Brennan Johnson front and centre of it, as he enjoys quite a purple patch right now.

However, that run unceremoniously ended with a dramatic 3-2 defeat away to Brighton. Spurs were two goals up at half-time, but they ultimately capitulated at the Amex, with Yankuba Minteh, Georginio Rutter and Danny Welbeck cementing their fate.

“You never know if it [the international break] is good or bad. Maybe for the players it was good, but I don’t like sitting on a loss,” said Postecoglou on Tottenham’s 3-2 defeat to Brighton.

“There can be a tendency to over-analyse things. It wasn’t a good one. The first half was unbelievable, but I didn’t like the second half and what we looked like. It wasn’t the loss, it was the manner I wasn’t comfortable with. I’ve been sitting on it for 10 days, I’m ready to explode once they get back in the building and that will be my therapy.”

As Postecoglou unleashes on his current squad, just before they take on West Ham in a fierce London derby clash this weekend, technical director Johan Lange and the Lilywhites recruitment team are working to bolster the Australian’s options in January.

Indeed, it is believed Tottenham are targeting Espanyol winger Javi Puado, with his deal set to expire next summer, so the La Liga side could be forced to cash-in on the cheap this winter. Spurs are chasing Shakhtar Donetsk attacking midfielder Georgiy Sudakov as well, as Lange and co weigh up alternative attacking midfield options to James Maddison.

Patrick Dorgu could join Tottenham despite new contract

Another rumoured target for Postecoglou’s side is Lecce youngster Patrick Dorgu.

The Dane has been impressing in Serie A, with Dorgu attracting interest from Spurs among other elite Premier League sides. The teenage full-back recently penned a new deal with Lecce, committing his future to the club until 2029 and warding off potential suitors.

However, this apparently may not be the case, as Fiorentina News write that Dorgu is still likely to leave Lecce in 2025, with Spurs at the front of the queue for his services alongside London rivals Chelsea.

The fresh terms will hand Lecce an opportunity to garner more funds from Dorgu’s departure, according to Fiorentina News, which means the north Londoners will have to pay more than his previously reported £25 million fee.

“You can just say that with some players it can go incredibly fast,” said Denmark Under-21s coach Steffen Højer to bold.dk.

“He has already had a lot of playing minutes in Serie A with Lecce, and he has done really, really well. What is special about him is that he is a quiet and calm guy, but things are just incredibly natural for him on a football pitch.

“When he is put on a field, and it doesn’t matter which team, he just fits in, and he just makes incredibly many good choices for such a young player He has clear qualities, and then there is a lot of work that needs to be done in relation to both being part of the U21s, but also eventually making the national team.”

برشلونة يواجه بنفيكا غدًا الثلاثاء، في إياب دور الـ16 من بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا، بعد الفوز ذهابًا بهدف نظيف في البرتغال.

صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو” الإسبانية، أكدت أن قلب الدفاع إينييجو مارتينيز، الذي حصل على بطاقة صفراء في مباراة الذهاب، معرض للإيقاف عن ربع النهائي افتراضيًا، في حالة تأهل البلوجرانا.

وحصل إينييجو على البطاقة الصفراء بعد الاعتراض على حكم المباراة بعدما لم يحصل لاعب بنفيكا على بطاقة حمراء بعد التدخل على قدمه في وسط الملعب.

ويغيب كوبارسي عن مواجهة الغد بسبب الطرد الذي حصل عليه في مباراة الذهاب، مما يعني أن ثنائية الدفاع في برشلونة غدًا، ستكون مكوّنة من مارتينيز ورونالد أراوخو.

بالإضافة لـ مارتينيز، هناك أيضًا، كلًا من جوليس كوندي وأليخاندرو بالدي، بالإضافة لـ كاسادو ودي يونج، وفيرمين لوبيز، مع فيران توريس وجافي، جميعهم في حال حصولهم على بطاقة صفراء، سيغيبون عن مواجهة الذهاب في ربع النهائي إذا تأهل برشلونة.
