Spurs ‘expected’ to sell Dennis Cirkin

As per journalist Charlie Eccleshare of The Athletic (Twitter), Tottenham Hotspur managing director Fabio Paratici is on the verge of green lighting yet another N17 exit with Dennis Cirkin’s sale to Sunderland ‘expected to go through’.

The Lowdown: Spurs summer sales…

In a major rebuild, Paratici has been tasked with developing Tottenham’s on-field sporting operations and overseeing their sell-to-buy summer ahead of Nuno Espirito Santo’s debut season in charge of the club.

Already, Spurs have successfully offloaded the likes of Erik Lamela, Juan Foyth, Joe Hart and Toby Alderweireld for profit whilst letting Danny Rose and Paulo Gazzaniga leave on free transfers.

Football Insider recently broke news of Sunderland’s talks to sign Cirkin from Spurs in yet another player who could be departing and the development has now been backed by Eccleshare.

The Latest: Cirkin ‘expected’ to leave Spurs…

As per the reporter, writing on Twitter, Spurs’ promising talent may be next to leave north London on a permanent deal as the Black Cats swoop in.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/tottenham-latest-gossip/” title=”Tottenham latest gossip!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Despite being largely recognised as a ‘real talent’ and one who has been tipped to become a ‘real star’ for the Lilywhites one day (Twitter), the 19-year-old’s sale to Sunderland is still ‘expected to go through’.

It is not clear whether this permanent exit includes a potential buy-back option, or at the very least a sell-on clause, but Spurs supporters may be hoping that is the case.

The Verdict: Big loss…

Hailed as a young player with ‘a lot of quality’ by former Spurs boss Jose Mourinho after his appointment in 2019, news of Cirkin’s departure apparently hasn’t gone down too well with a large section of fans (Football Insider).

Sunderland are also said to be confident of finalising Cirkin’s signing in the next few days as Tottenham bid a likely farewell to the teenager with bags of potential.

If the left-back goes on to become a star defender, this may be a move Spurs will look back on with some regret. One would hope Paratici has been clever enough to include some form of buy-back clause.

رسميًا | ليفربول يُعلن رحيل 7 لاعبين في الميركاتو الصيفي

أعلن نادي ليفربول المنافس في بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي عن رحيل 4 لاعبين من صفوف الفريق الأول لكرة القدم تحت قيادة المدير الفني، يورجن كلوب، خلال الميركاتو الصيفي الحالي.

وشهدت قائمة الرحيل تواجد مهاجم الفريق الذي أنضم إلى ليفربول في عام 2015، ديفوك أوريجي، والذي أعلن كلوب قبل نهاية الموسم عن رحيله، وهناك أنباء قوية عن انتقاله إلى أي سي ميلان بطل الدوري الإيطالي.

سجل أوريجي 41 هدفا في 175 مباراة شارك فيها مع ليفربول على مدار المواسم الماضية وساهم بدرجة كبيرة في الفوز ببطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا موسم 2018/2019.

هناك ثلاثي آخر سيرحل عن ليفربول وهم لوريس كاريوس، بن وودبرن وشيي أوجو لانتهاء عقودهم في 30 يونيو الجاري، وعدم تمديدها ليغادرون قلعة “أنفيلد” بالمجان.

Liverpool linked to Aurelien Tchouameni

Liverpool have been linked with a move for Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni as manager Jurgen Klopp continues to search for Gini Wijnaldum’s successor.

What’s the story?

According to Italian outlet Corriere Dello Sport, the Reds are considering making a bid to sign the highly-rated 21-year-old, although they’re expected to face stiff competition for his signature.

The report also claims that Italian giants Juventus are interested in securing Tchouameni’s services this summer, with Monaco set to demand £25 million for their asset.

Imagine him and Thiago

After rising up through the ranks at boyhood club Bordeaux, Tchouameni joined Monaco in a big-money move in January 2020 and has gone from strength to strength ever since.

The youngster made 42 appearances in all competitions for Niko Kovac’s charges last season, scoring three goals and providing a further four assists for his teammates.

However, it’s his work off the ball that really catches the eye. As per WhoScored, Tchouameni averaged a whopping 3.5 tackles per league game in 2020/21, by far the highest tally amongst his team.

He also made 1.7 interceptions, the joint-highest total when compared to his teammates. The France Under-21 international not only dominated proceedings on the ground but in the air as well, winning 67% of his aerial duels.

Tchouameni’s ability to stop opposition attacks, dispossess opponents and chip in with the odd goal and assist make him an extremely exciting prospect not only for the future but for the present day.

His assets would undoubtedly make him the ideal midfield partner for the more technically gifted and attack-minded Thiago. The Spaniard often struggles when asked to do the defensive side of the game, an area that Tchouameni thrives in.

Therefore, Liverpool’s director of football Michael Edwards must swoop for the Monaco ace before Juve snap him up.

Wijnaldum’s departure has left a sizeable gap in the club’s engine room, but Tchouameni is certainly capable of filling it. His arrival would add more balance and bite to Klopp’s midfield options, providing him with the necessary resources to mount another title challenge.

And, in other news…Liverpool must move for £38m magician lauded by Mbappe, he’s a “diamond in the rough” 

van Jaarsveld's second ton seals Kent win

Martin van Jaarsveld continued his one-man show to bring up his second century of the match to complete Kent’s come-from-behind four-wicket win against Surrey. After rewriting the script on the third day to help dismiss Surrey for 130 with his first five-wicket haul, van Jaarsveld took full control of his happy ending by overseeing the chase with another effective innings which fittingly remained unbeaten.He had given a chance on the third evening and was missed again early in the morning off Saqlain Mushtaq on 74, the bat-pad pop dropped at short leg by Matthew Spriegel symptomatic of a lacklustre final-morning display from Surrey. But other than that he and Geraint Jones were content to nibble the readily-available singles and gobble up the boundaries – making a tense situation seem at times like a picnic.Together they moved Kent along in an assured sixth-wicket partnership of 71. Jones’ innings included three crisp clips off the legs and a fine pull all off the unchanged Saqlain until his drive at a wide, full one from Jade Dernbach ended with Ali Brown’s catch in the slips on 39.Jones proved Surrey’s sole scalp, their lingering hopes finally thrown away when the new batsman Yasir Arafat was missed on 2, with Abdul Razzaq’s straightforward spill at wide mid-on off Dernbach. It was left to van Jaarsveld to polish off proceedings, bringing up his second ton with a strong drive between mid-on and midwicket that was loudly applauded by a smattering of supporters.For the second day running, the plaudits belonged to van Jaarsveld who has now hit two centuries in a match three times. He achieved the feat on debut for Kent and had previously brought up the mark for Northerns against Griqualand West in 2002. This was the first time, however, he had achieved a five-wicket haul – indeed his previous best was a two-fer – and it came at a good time for Kent, his efforts completely reversing the flow when Surrey were well-placed to bring up their first win of the season.For so long in this match it had seemed that the stage was set for the beginning of a post-Twenty20 resurgence similar to last year. With that distraction out of the way, in 2007 Surrey turned their Championship campaign around and from relegation candidates stormed up the table. van Jaarsveld, however, ensured they remain winless this season, while Kent brought up their second win, helping them up a tight table where every point is precious.For the record, it was the third time a Surrey opponent has brought up two centuries and taken five wickets against them. Jack Newman did it for Hampshire in 1907 and John Human for Cambridge University in 1933 – but neither’s work was in a winning cause. van Jaarsveld’s history-making actions will be remembered for a long time, and could prove vital in the short term.

Corinthians estampará sete marcas no uniforme em decisão do Paulista

MatériaMais Notícias

O Corinthians aproveitou as finais do Campeonato Paulista para reforçar o caixa e fechou três acordos de patrocínio pontual no jogo deste domingo, às 16h, na Arena, contra a Ponte Preta. Assim, somando os contratos específicos com os três patrocinadores fixos do clube e mais a fornecedora de material esportivo, o Timão pode ser campeão estadual com sete marcas estampadas em seu uniforme.

Os contratos de patrocínio pontual são com as seguintes marcas: Universidade Brasil no peito (espaço máster) e omoplatas,e SEMP e Best Way Group, nos shorts. O Corinthians também exibirá as marcas da Nike, Alcatel (nas costas), Foxlux (barra traseira da camisa) e Minds (barra das mangas). O clube não divulgou protótipos das camisas que serão usadas contra a Ponte Preta porque os acordos foram fechados durante a tarde deste sábado e anunciados já à noite.

Sem contrato com a Caixa Econômica Federal desde abril, o Corinthians busca um patrocínio máster fixo por R$ 30 milhões em um ano de vínculo. Além disso, o clube também deseja contar com anunciantes em outros espaços de seu uniforme, como omoplata, números e calção. Em março, a diretoria de marketing do Timão anunciou o projeto de receber R$ 100 milhões por ano somente com uniforme, chegando assim ao posto decamisa mais valorizada do futebol brasileiro.

Pundit all but rules out Tottenham signing Anthony Martial

Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge says it’s unlikely that Tottenham will make a move for Anthony Martial, but reckons that Manchester United would be interested in selling.

Following some impressive attacking additions in recent years, Jadon Sancho being the most recent this summer, the Frenchman would appear to be slowly slipping down the pecking order at Old Trafford.

The signing of Sancho, though, comes after Martial struggled massively last season, scoring just seven goals in 36 games in all competitions, and only four in the Premier League.

According to the Daily Star, Nuno Espirito Santo is keen on bringing Martial, who cost United £36m when he joined from Monaco six years ago, to north London to bolster his attacking options.

Spurs have already lost Gareth Bale and Erik Lamela, whilst Harry Kane could also be on his way out of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before the window closes.

Martial can play on the left or through the middle, having done both on several occasions during his United career.

However, Bridge told The Transfer Tavern that he doesn’t expect Tottenham to pursue a deal for the 25-year-old:

“Looking at it now, I’ve not heard that at all. I think United would entertain it, but would we have to sell before that? I can’t see that one personally.

فالبوينا يوضح رأيه في ترشيح بنزيما للفوز بـ الكرة الذهبية

وضح صانع ألعاب الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي أولمبياكوس، ماتيو فالبوينا، رأيه في ترشيح مواطنه ومهاجم ريال مدريد، كريم بنزيما، للفوز بجائزة الكرة الذهبية 2022 بقوة.

ونجح بنزيما في الموسم الماضي في قيادة ريال مدريد للفوز بثلاث بطولات وهي السوبر الإسباني، الدوري الإسباني ودوري أبطال أوروبا مع إحرازه 44 هدفًا في جميع المسابقات.

هناك قضية بين بنزيما وفالبوينا بدأت في عام 2015 وتم اتهام الأول بابتزاز الثاني بشريط جنسي وحُكم عليه بالسجن لمدة عام وغرامة مالية قدرها 75 ألف يورو.

وتحدث فالبوينا عن الأمر خلال حواره مع إذاعة “مونت كارلو” الفرنسية، وقال: “لن أكون صريحًا إذا قلت إن بنزيما لا يستحق الكرة الذهبية”.

وتابع: “نعم، هو يستحقها، يمكنني التحدث بموضوعية على المستوى الرياضي وأفعل ذلك عن طيب خاطر وكلي سعادة، لا توجد مشكلة بالنسبة لي”.

وأضاف: “لست غاضبًا، ولا أشعر بأي ضغينة على الإطلاق، كنت أقول دائمًا ما يجب أن أقوله، لقد كانت لحظات صعبة تمكنت فيها من التعافي منها، الآن، كل شخص يتصرف كما يريد”.

وواصل تصريحاته: “رفض بنزيما الاستمرار في استئنافه يعني أشياء كثيرة بالنسبة لي، من ثم يمكن للجميع أن يفكروا بما يريدون، الشيء الأكثر أهمية بالنسبة لي هو أن تكون قادرًا على المضي قدمًا، أرى أن سبع سنوات لم تذهب هباءً”.

Aiming for the roof

Shortest-lived record … just
India and Sri Lanka were neck-to-neck in their run-scoring spree – against Hong Kong and Bangladesh respectively – today. However, Bangladesh bowled their overs at a slower pace than Hong Kong. By the time India finished their innings at 374 for 4 – the highest in an Asia Cup match – Sri Lanka, at 318 for 5, still had five overs left, and the record in grasp. But a few late-order wickets, and they could manage only 357 for 9, despite a 17-run final over. India’s record stayed intact – for all it’s worth.Champions of the left-arm spinners’ cause
With Mohammad Rafique having retired, and Shakib Al Hasan not playing in the Asia Cup, it’s Hong Kong who have been espousing the left-arm spinners’ cause in the tournament. For the second day in a row, they rode on their left-armers’ efforts. It was Nadeem Ahmed who gave Pakistan a shock on Tuesday, and today Najeeb Amar slowed India down with the wickets of Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir. The left-armers gave away 147 runs in 28 overs, as opposed to 220 scored in the remaining 22.Roof-top view
While he was practising at the National Stadium, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, batting on a practice pitch in the cover region, hit one onto the roof of the midwicket stands. He implemented that in his first match here, launching three sixes onto the roof – one so far back that Wasim Akram reckoned it was perhaps the biggest he’s seen at the ground. Practice does make perfect.Gony’s first … almost
Manpreet Gony, one of the bowlers unearthed during the Indian Premier League, got his international debut for this game, and came close to getting his first wicket in only his second over. He had got one to cut into Tabarak Dar and take his glove on the way through to Dhoni. But umpire Brian Jerling didn’t agree with Gony, and denied him his maiden wicket. As it turned out, Gony wouldn’t get a wicket in the next three overs; his maiden ODI wicket will have to wait for another day.

'Como nossos pais': Corinthians goleia a Ponte e fica mais próximo do título

MatériaMais Notícias

Um refrão de Belchior, ilustre cantor e compositor brasileiro morto neste domingo (e, curiosamente, simpatizante da Ponte Preta), define o duelo em preto e branco que inaugurou as finais do Campeonato Paulista neste domingo, no estádio Moisés Lucarelli: “Apesar de termos feito tudo o que fizemos, ainda somos os mesmos e vivemos como nossos pais”. Passados 40 anos da história conquista com gol de Basílio, o Timão destilou superioridade para cima da Macaca e goleou por 3 a 0 o primeiro jogo das finais do Estadual.

Diferentemente dos jogos contra Santos e Palmeiras, a Ponte Preta começou neste domingo “como o diabo gosta”. Ou seja, sem fazer pressão no campo de defesa adversário. A maior prova disso foram as chances que o Corinthians acumulou jogando com o “coração selvagem”, mesmo na casa do adversário. Aos dois minutos, não fosse uma antecipação de Yago, Romero poderia ter feito o primeiro gol. Pouco depois, Aranha ainda defendeu um chute de Jô. Só que é aquela coisa… “uma nova mudança em breve vai acontecer”.

Aos 13 minutos, Jô tocou para Romero, que devolveu o passe. De primeira, o camisa 7 serviu Rodriguinho dentro da área, em linda trama ofensiva. Decisivo em partidas importantes, o número 26 do Corinthians apareceu livre, tirou de Aranha e marcou o primeiro gol do Corinthians. Rodriguinho, de novo em mata-mata, já que os “ídolos ainda são os mesmos”.

Parecia até “alucinação”, mas a Ponte Preta terminou o primeiro tempo sem dar trabalho quase nenhum a Cássio. Mesmo jogando em casa! O gol do Corinthians fez a Macaca precisar propor o jogo para desequilibrar a defesa do time que estava em vantagem. “Sem parentes importantes”, ou alguém que assumisse a bronca para resolver, a Macaca trocou duas peças logo no intervalo, viu sua torcida “voltar” ao jogo e tentou se aventurar no segundo tempo. “Like a rolling stone”.

“Na parede da memória, essa lembrança é o quadro”, e o fantasma de 1977 parece ainda não ter dissipado de Campinas. Aos 13 minutos do segundo tempo, Rodriguinho deu bela arrancada, ficou em pé mesmo com a falta, tirou a marcação e serviu Jadson, que bateu de primeira, sem chances de defesa para Aranha. “No presente a mente, o corpo é diferente”. Ou não.

Depois do segundo gol, o jogo virou uma pelada. A Ponte, improdutiva. O Corinthians, calmo, com “dedo em V, cabelo ao vento, amor e flor”. A tal tranquilidade entrou em contraste definitivo com a inoperância da Ponte aos 34: Fagner bateu lateral para Jô, mas a bola ficou solta na área e Rodriguinho é quem desviou de cabeça. “O novo sempre vem”.

دي سا: موسيماني جهّز لسيناريو رحيله عن الأهلي وأخبرني بوجهته المقبلة

كشف الجنوب إفريقي، روجر دي سا، مدرب منتخب مصر السابق، أن مواطنه بيتسو موسيماني، المدير الفني السابق للنادي الأهلي، أخبره بالفعل عن وجهته المُقبلة بعد فسخ تعاقده مع المارد الأحمر.

وكان الأهلي قد أعلن أول أمس الاثنين، فسخ تعاقده مع موسيماني، بعد 20 شهرًا مع المارد الأحمر، حيث تولى تدريب الفريق، في أكتوبر 2020.

وقال دي سا في تصريحات عبر مجلة “كيك أوف” الغانية: “بيتسو ذاهب إلى قطر، إنه دوري مختلف، إنه تكوين مختلف، لكن المال سيكون أفضل”.

وأضاف: “كانت علاقته مع المصريين في بعض الأحيان علاقة حب وكره، بيتسو صريح كما نعلم جميعًا، وسيتحدث دائمًا عن رأيه”.

وواصل: “لذلك كان لديه هذا السيناريو، لكنه قدم أداءً جيدًا، لقد تحدثت إليه عدة مرات، وقد ذكر لي أن هناك عرضًا من قطر كان يفكر فيه”.

وأكد: “لم يتم تأكيد ذلك بعد، إنها تكهنات من جانبي ولكن هذا ما أعتقده”.

وتابع: “مع المباراة النهائية الأخيرة، ربما كانت حقيقة إقامة المباراة في المغرب هي السبب في عدم فوزه بها، أعتقد أنه بمجرد خسارته المباراة النهائية التي أقيمت في المغرب كانت هذه القشة التي قصمت ظهر البعير”.

واختتم: “موسيماني قام بعمل ممتاز، لقد حضرت العديد من مباريات الأهلي وكان المشجعون جيدون معه، ولكن بعض المراسلين المصريين كانوا سلبيين تجاهه في بعض الأحيان، لكن دائمًا سيكون لديك بعض الجدل”.
