A £35 million player, who will be representing his country at Euro 2024, is keen on making the move to Chelsea this summer – and he's apparently a new priority target for the west Londoners.

Chelsea set for busy summer as Boehly targets multiple defenders

After sealing the free transfer of Tosin Adarabioyo from Fulham, the consensus is that Chelsea could still bring in another defender.

The west Londoners could apparently bring in multiple players up front this summer.

Veteran and fan favourite Thiago Silva departed Stamford Bridge on a Bosman deal to boyhood club Fluminese, and while Tosin's arrival will do wonders to make up for it, Fabrizio Romano states that an additional defensive ace could come in during a busy summer window.

"It will continue to be a busy summer at Chelsea," said Romano on Chelsea's transfer plans after bringing in Enzo Maresca to replace Pochettino.

"It won’t be completely crazy but they will try to make smart things happen, including a new goalkeeper and I expect them to try for at least one new centre-back, but it could be two."

Apart from West Ham, Chelsea conceded more Premier League goals than any other side in the top ten last season, and there defensive fragilities were on display for all to see in certain games.

Doubts also surround the futures of both defender Ben Chilwell and Marc Cucurella. Indeed, GiveMeSport claimed this week that Chelsea could opt to sell either one of the pair, as they also plan to bring in a new full-back who would replace them.

Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez, who will don the Hungarian jersey at Euro 2024, which is set to kick off on Friday, has been linked as an option for Maresca's side. The 20-year-old starlet made 28 league appearances for Bournemouth last season, attracting attention from England's elite, and it is believed Chelsea chiefs have been talking about signing Kerkez behind-the-scenes.

Kerkez wants to join Chelsea after emerging as priority target

GiveMeSport have an update on this from the last 48 hours, and they claim that Kerkez is keen on joining Maresca at Chelsea.

They also state that the full-back has emerged as a priority target for them, amid claims that he could cost around £35 million to prise away from the Vitality Stadium. Kerkez has a growing reputation and carried himself very well last season, despite still being a very young player operating at the highest level.

"Milos is a great boy. A crazy dude, in a good way. He is always positive and smiling,” said former teammate Mat Ryan.

“Hopefully he can develop even further in England and become even more mature. He is aggressive, powerful and has so many qualities. A unique skill set. Bournemouth is going to get stronger because of him. Milos still has a great career ahead of him.”

حسم السويسري جروس، المدير الفني الجديد لنادي الزمالك، اختيار المدرب المساعد له في الجهاز الفني لتدريب الفريق الأول لكرة القدم.

ووصل جروس منذ قليل لمقر نادي الزمالك، من أجل بدء مهام عمله كمدير فني للفريق بعد رحيل البرتغالي جوزيه جوميز لتدريب الفتح السعودي.

ويعتبر تعاقد الزمالك مع جروس عودة قوية، حيث سبق للمدرب السويسري أن حقق نجاحًا كبيرًا مع الفريق الأبيض في الفترة السابقة، بالتتويج بلقب كأس الكونفدرالية الأفريقية وبطولة السوبر المصري السعودي.

Celtic brought manager Brendan Rodgers back to Parkhead for a second spell in the dugout last summer after Ange Postecoglou moved down south.

The Northern Irish head coach enjoyed a respectable return to life in Glasgow with a domestic double to show for his efforts in the 2023/24 campaign.

His team secured the Scottish Premiership title and the SFA Cup, with a 1-0 win over Rangers in the final last month, but could now look for the treble, or even more, next season.

The summer transfer window officially opened for business earlier this month and Rodgers could find his next Tom Rogic by signing a reported target from Scotland.

Celtic's interest in Premiership talent

Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph recently claimed that the Hoops are one of a number of teams interested in snapping up Dundee ace Luke McCowan.

The reporter added that clubs from the MLS and the English Championship are also keeping tabs on him, which suggests that the Scottish giants would face competition for his signature.

He is in the last year of his contract with Dundee and they may have to cash in on him before the window slams shut to avoid losing him on a free transfer next year.

However, it remains to be seen how much the Premiership side would demand for the midfielder, or how much Celtic are prepared to offer for him.

If they do secure a deal for his services, though, then Rodgers could find his new version of Rogic for the Hoops during the 2024/25 campaign.

How Luke McCowan could be Tom Rogic 2.0

Like the Australian star, McCowan is a left-footed central midfielder who could come in and provide quality as a squad player with his ability to score and provide goals from the middle of the park.

Rogic did not play more than 22 league matches in a single season across his three-year tenure with Rodgers but did rack up 105 appearances in all competitions.

In those 105 matches, the left-footed magician chipped in with 24 goals and 20 assists and his best season in the Premiership under the Northern Irish boss was a return of seven goals and five assists in the 2016/17 campaign.

As you can see in the table above, the 26-year-old maestro provided a fantastic attacking outlet for his team from a midfield position with 15 direct goal contributions, which could have been more if his teammates had made the most of the 'big chances' that he created, in 37 outings.

McCowan, who writer Kai Watson described as "tenacious", scored ten goals in all competitions for Dundee and seemingly has the quality to come in and provide a goal threat for the Hoops.

He could also be solid out of possession as the Scottish whiz made 2.5 tackles and interceptions per game in the Premiership, to go along with his goals and assists.

Therefore, Rodgers could land his next Rogic, as a rotation midfielder who can come in and offer quality in attack when needed, by signing McCowan.

علق الحسيني أبو قمر نائب رئيس المصري على البيان الذي أصدره مجلس الإدارة بسبب وجود أخطاء تحكيمية في مباراة فريق الكرة أمام الأهلي ضمن منافسات الدوري الممتاز.

وقال أبو قمر في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة “ام بي سي مصر”: “المصري اضطر لإصدار البيان بسبب حالات مباراة الفريق ضد الأهلي، ومن خلال وقائع المباراة ومن نفس الأشخاص ضد الفريق، فاضطررنا لإصدار بيان ونريد اتخاذ إجراءات، لأن ما يحدث ظلم وأخطاء تحكيمية تؤدي لتغيير النتائج، لأن الفريق يسير بشكل جيد في الدوري”.

وأكمل: “لدينا حالتان في المباراة، كرة ياسر إبراهيم مع فخر الدين بن يوسف واستخدام لاعب الأهلي للكوع، والواقعة الثانية محمد الشناوي مع فخر، الأخير كان سيسجل هدفًا بعد أن سقطت الكرة من يد حارس الأهلي، ولكن الشناوي جذبه ومنعه من الوصول للكرة، ولم يتخذ الحكم أي قرار”.

وتابع: “نحن خسرنا المباراة، ما هو العائد على المصري بعد إنفاق الملايين على الفريق وحالة حزن الجماهير؟، والطبيعي يكون هناك نوع من الرقابة واجراءات ضد الحكم، هناك ظاهرة لا تحدث أن يكون هناك حالة مثل هذه والحكم لا يتخذ أي إجراء”.

واستطرد: “اللاعبون عندما طلبوا من الحكم أن يراجع حالة جذب الشناوي لفخر الدين بن يوسف، قال لهم لم أرها والفار لم يستدعيني، وهناك سابقة لحكم مبارة الأهلي والمصري في مواجهة أخرى بكأس مصر، وقمنا بالاحتجاج عليه بعد خروجنا وقتها”.

وأوضح: “بيان المصري يوضح حالة الحزن والغضب عند الإدارة والجماهير، نحن لن نسمح بتوقيع ظلم على المصري مرة أخرى، وعلى اتحاد الكرة أن يرد علينا، ولم نشعر بوجود الفار في المباراة، ولكي يُظهر حكم الفار أنه موجود راجع حالة في الثواني الأخيرة من اللقاء وأهمل الحالات الأساسية في المباراة”.

وأردف: “هناك تصعيد مع اتحاد الكرة ولابد من اتخاذ إجراءات، ونريد إعلان العقوبات ضد الحكام، ويتم الرد علينا، لكن (تتنطش) لا لن نسمح بذلك”.

واختتم: “كان هناك اتجاه من مجلس الإدارة بالانسحاب من مباراة الأهلي بسبب الأخطاء التحكيمية، لكن لاحترامنا لمسؤولياتنا واحترامًا لدولتنا استكملنا المباراة، لكن بالفعل كنا سنصعد الأمر وننسحب من المباراة، لكننا تعاملنا بمسؤولية وتحملنا النتيجة حفاظًا على المسابقة وعدم اهتزازها”.

Na mensagem, o jogador fez uma retrospectiva relacionada tanto a seu comportamento desde a chegada em 2015 vindo do São Paulo como também números importantes da ordem de 248 partidas e nove títulos conquistados entre Gauchão, Recopa Gaúcha, Copa do Brasil, Libertadores e Recopa Sul-Americana. A postagem foi acompanhada de um vídeo onde imagens desde sua apresentação até lances marcantes da passagem foram compilados.

Desde o início da trajetória onde foi treinado por Roger Machado e, na grande maioria do tempo, Renato Portaluppi, Maicon consolidou uma posição de voz forte no elenco tanto dentro como fora das quatro linhas. Seja no aspecto técnico com a qualidade de passe e dinâmica de jogo que viraram marca registrada da equipe como também usando a braçadeira de capitão e aparecendo também em momentos mais complicados nas últimas temporadas.

Nos últimos dois anos, o jogador de 35 anos vinha sofrendo com problemas físicos e a natural renovação do plantel que acabaram diminuíndo seu espaço no time titular.

Desta forma, o término da relação que parecia ser apenas uma questão natural a ser resolvida no fim da temporada acabou antecipada, também, pela expulsão no fim de semana na derrota por 1 a 0 para o Corinthians na Arena.

وأضاف: “من يدري، ربما يكون ريال مدريد هو فريقي الأخير، ولكن لدي عقد لمدة عامين، ويمكن فسخ العقد أو تمديده، لا أعلم ما سيحدث في المستقبل”.

وعن دوري أبطال أوروبا، قال كارلو: “الهدف الآن هو التأهل للأدوار الإقصائية، الطريق إلى دوري الأبطال ليس سهلًا، خاصة هذا الموسم، ولا يزال أمامنا مباراتان للتأهل إلى دور الـ16”.

وكشف: “الفريق الوحيد الذي يمكن أن يتم ترشيحه للقب دوري أبطال أوروبا الآن هو ليفربول، لأنه الفريق الوحيد الذي يبرز منذ بداية الموسم، ويتصدر وفاز بكل المباريات بدوري الأبطال”.

واختتم: “علينا أن نكون مستعدين في مارس وأبريل، يجب أن نحقق الفوز في المباريات القادمة ونجد النسق”.

Aston Villa Football Club have had four of their players representing their respective nations at Euro 2024. Representing your country at a major tournament is always a proud moment, and for these players, it comes off the back of an impressive campaign with Villa, which saw them finish fourth and qualify for the Champions League.

Sadly, two of the Villa players at Euro 2024 have already been eliminated. John McGinn and his Scotland side were knocked out at the group stages in heartbreaking fashion against Hungary. Youri Tielemans of Belgium was recently eliminated by France in the round of 16 with a Randal Kolo Muani shot ricocheting off Jan Vertonghen and deflection in to send them home.

Villa’s other two Euros representatives are from England, Ollie Watkins and Ezri Konsa. Watkins, the Premier League’s playmaker of the season for 2023/24, came off the bench against Denmark in the groups to play 20 minutes, although did not get on the scoresheet, and Konsa’s sole appearance so far was off the bench, too. The 26-year-old played 15 minutes against Slovakia in extra time as his side looked to hold onto the lead.

Now, with the transfer window open and players putting their names in the shop window, Villa have been linked with another Euro 2024 star who has impressed despite being eliminated from the tournament.

Villa target Serie A defender

The player in question here is Udinese and Slovenia centre-back Jaka Bijol, who was impressive in his country’s run to the round of 16. Following an impressive campaign for Udinese, too, he is thought to be targeted by some big clubs across Europe this summer.

According to a report Italian news outlet Tutto Mercato, the Villans have made 'concrete surveys' about signing the 25-year-old this summer. Villa could 'continue to shop in Italy', following their double signing of Juventus pair Samuel Iling-Junior and Enzo Barrenechea.

However, the report suggests that Villa are not the only side interested in signing the impressive defender. Scudetto winners Inter, Antonio Conte’s Napoli and Lazio are all thought to be interested in a move for Bijol.

There is not currently a clarification on how much a move for Bijol would be. However, according to Football Transfers valuation tool, he is worth £14m, a fair amount given he still has three years left on his deal with Udinese.

Why Bijol would be a good signing

Bijol was part of one of the most impressive defensive performances at Euro 2024 so far, despite tasting defeat against Portugal. His side kept the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes quiet, taking them all the way to penalties before being eliminated in heartbreaking fashion.

In his post-match ratings for Goal.Com, journalist Louis Wheeldon gave Bijol a 7/10 rating, pointing out that he “battled well” for his side, before noting how well he “kept his cool” under copious amounts of pressure. Indeed, this was reflected in his stats after the game from Sofascore.

He made ten clearances, which was more than anyone on the pitch, as well as winning three out of five aerial duels and made three crucial blocks for his side. It was a simply colossal performance from the Udinese defender.

Indeed, this outing is one we saw regularly from Bijol at Euro 2024. He played every minute of his side’s campaign and helped to keep a clean sheet against Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham's England in the group stages, conceding just one goal each against Denmark and Serbia. He was also a crucial player for Udinese last season, playing 24 times, despite a long three-month spell on the sidelines with a scaphoid fracture.

The 26-year-old is a wonderful box defender, and should Villa get the deal done, he could be the ideal signing to complement Pau Torres, the Villans’ key man at the back under Unai Emery. Firstly, the pair are ideal for each other given Bijol is right-footed and Torres left-footed, making them an dream duo from that point of view.

As a pure defender, Bijol is superb, and that is reflected in his stats via FBref. He averages 6.03 clearances per 90 minutes, as well as 2.84 combined tackles and interceptions per 90. He is also dominant in the air, winning 3.62 aerial duels on average per 90.

Stats from FBref

This would work well with the Spanish defender, who missed out on a spot at Euro 2024. Torres is a great recovery defender, averaging 4.64 ball recoveries per 90. However, the 27-year-old is not quite as good of a box defender, with his best attributes coming on the ball, something Bijol is not as strong at.

The Slovenian averages just 1.81 progressive passes and completes an average of 27.8 passes per 90, a far cry from Torres’ numbers. In contrast, the Spaniard plays 4.67 progressive passes and completes 57.0 passes each game. It is fair to say there is a clear gulf between the two.

However, they can still work as a centre-back duo, given their left-foot, right-foot combination, and complementary attributes; Bijol being a far superior box-defender and Torres being the better player on the ball.

For a player valued at just £14.4m, it could be a smart move for Villa and could add to their depth at centre-back. Given Clement Lenglet’s loan has now expired, and he will not be joining permanently, they need to deepen their squad in defence, and Bijol could be the perfect addition.

Heat coach Darren Lehmann said the allrounder had been “sought after” for the BBL

ESPNcricinfo staff02-Nov-2020

England allrounder Lewis Gregory has signed with the Brisbane Heat for the BBL, joining Somerset team-mate Tom Banton at the club.Gregory has played eight T20Is, the most recent during the series against Pakistan in September, and has also had spells at the Pakistan Super League and Bangladesh Premier League.”He was quite sought after so we’re very pleased he is coming to us,” the Heat coach Darren Lehmann said. “He has built a very respectable reputation as a finisher with the bat for Somerset in the Vitality Blast T20 competition, and he is skillful with the ball as well as having good pace.””It’s great adding another experienced performer into the group. He’s performed quite well in the overseas T20 leagues he has played in and had a good taste of Australian conditions last season as captain of the English Lions team that was out here on tour.”Exactly when Gregory is available for the tournament will depend on whether he is included in the England squad for the limited-overs tour of South Africa that runs until December 9. International players arriving for the BBL – possibly except those coming from New Zealand which has a travel bubble with parts of Australia – will be required to quarantine for 14 days on arrival.Gregory said: “I’ve enjoyed the challenge of adapting to conditions when I played in the BPL and PSL and got some good insights into Australian conditions during the Lions tour so I’m certainly excited to be heading to the Heat.”The club confirmed last week that AB de Villiers would not return for this year’s tournament. Afghanistan spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman is the third overseas player in the Heat squad with teams now allowed to field three in their XIs for the next two seasons.The English game is providing a rich source of overseas players for this year’s BBL. Alex Hales, Jason Roy, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Tom Curran and James Vince will all be taking part. Jonny Bairstow may also join the Melbourne Stars.The reworked schedule for the tournament is expected to be released later this week with the competition due to start around December 10. It will take place in rolling hubs across the country depending on border restrictions with flexibility built in to take advantage of any further loosening of restrictions during January.
