وافق الاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم، فيفا، على الاستئناف الذي تقدم به نادي ليون بشأن صفقة لاعب وست هام سعيد بن رحمة.

وكان من المقرر أن يوقع اللاعب الجزائري لصالح النادي الفرنسي، في الموعد النهائي لسوق الانتقالات الشتوي، ولكن الصفقة انهارت في اللحظة الأخيرة.

وتسبب خطأ إداري في فشل انتقال بن رحمة إلى ليون في الوقت النهائي، حيث لم يقم النادي الإنجليزي بإرسال الأوراق الخاصة من جانبه إلى النظام الخاص عبر الإنترنت الذي يستخدمه فيفا للموافقة على الصفقات بمجرد الاتفاق على جميع التفاصيل بين الأندية.

ويتعين إدخال الرسوم وأرقام الحسابات المصرفية وتفاصيل الوكيل حتى تتم عملية التحويل، ومن ثم إضفاء الطابع الرسمي على الصفقة.

وتقدم ليون باستئناف رسمي حيث ذكر عبر حسابه بموقع “إكس”، أن فيفا وافق عليه، مما يعني إمكانية إتمام صفقة سعيد بن رحمة.

Leeds United will be under no illusion of the importance of their performance when they head to east London this afternoon for their Premier League clash with West Ham United.

The Whites are in a precarious position in the top flight table as they are two points from safety ahead of their penultimate fixture, and Sam Allardyce must find the perfect recipe to take all three points from their opponents to keep the survival chances as high as possible.

Indeed, Leeds showed promising signs of their capabilities in their fight to retain their Premier League status when they took a point away from their Elland Road outing against Newcastle United last weekend, but there is still a lot of work left to be done to escape the bottom three over the remaining two games.

Goals are going to be the key for all the teams fighting off the drop into the Championship, something Allardyce will be all too familiar with having expertly led the likes of Sunderland, Bolton Wanderers and Crystal Palace to survival in the past to name a few.

As a result, the Leeds boss must carefully consider who can be relied upon to deliver those moments of magic in front of goal in the dying days of the season and boldly ditching Patrick Bamford could in fact be the move that saves their season.

Will Patrick Bamford start vs West Ham?

The £70k-per-week striker has been a huge disappointment over the campaign and displayed once again against the Magpies that he is lacking confidence and quality in the final third.

Over his 89-minute performance, Bamford had just one shot on target, completed only 14 accurate passes and lost five duels, but it was his penalty miss that really summed up the centre-forward's struggles.

The game-defining penalty miss that would've put the West Yorkshire club 2-0 up in front of the home support led to heavy criticism, with BBC Sport Pundit Matt Kilgallon claiming on BBC Radio Leeds (via MOT Leeds News) that the striker needs to be dropped:

"I said for the Leicester game, I think we should’ve taken him out. And you saw it in the game, he did two kicks out of his hands. He’s never done that before in his life. In training, he’d be able to hit a sign from 60 yards away with no problem."

"Just with Bamford now, for his own good, I’m not saying he might be wishing he’s taken out. But maybe, that penalty today, could someone have taken that off him and taken that pressure off him?"

In fact, the Leeds striker – dubbed "anonymous" by journalist Beren Cross – has only scored four league goals this season in 27 appearances, with a goal scored every 371 minutes which is just not consistent enough if the side are going to have any hope of staying up.

Luckily, Allardyce has some sound attacking players to lean on as Rodrigo thrived in the centre-forward role over the first half of the season during Bamford's absence through injury, tallying up a total of 14 goals and two assists in all competitions so far.

With that being said, the former England manager has a huge decision to make in his attacking threat as the starting eleven he selects this afternoon could ultimately be season-defining for the Whites.

Liverpool's campaign has been turbulent at best, calamitous at worst.

Jurgen Klopp has bathed in adulation since taking the reins on Merseyside and rightly so, but he must now weather the storm and criticism after the Reds failed to clamber back from their dismal form and salvage top four, ending a six-year streak of qualifying for the competition which no other English outfit boasts better exploits within.

Change is afoot, however, with the summer exodus comprised of Roberto Firmino, James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain forthcoming – stricken loanee Arthur will also leave with 13 competitive minutes to his name.

The Premier League outfit have consequently been at the centre of a melange of transfer rumours of late, with none more prominent than the pursuit of Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, with the Seagulls reportedly demanding £70m for his signature.

However, Klopp and co could actually forget about the Argentine by unleashing a precocious talent already on Anfield's books; Fabio Carvalho has looked promising this season but has yet to cement his place in the match-day squad with regularity, despite some big moments.

Speaking exclusively to Football FanCast, The Redmen TV's Paul Machin waxed lyrical over the 20-year-old, highlighting his burgeoning qualities and insinuating that he could play a major role under Klopp's wing across the coming years.

Machin said: "He's small, he's technical, he's actually quite quick. I think he's a tremendous little player. He's got a great eye for goal, he's got an uncanny knack to arrive in the right place at the right time, in terms of scoring goals.

"The best example of that? Well, two great examples are the late winner against Newcastle at Anfield, and [his goal] against Manchester City in the League Cup quarter-finals as well. Two really instinctive goals."

How good could Fabio Carvalho be at Liverpool?

Liverpool signed the Portuguese starlet for £5m plus add-ons from Fulham last summer after missing out on the talent the previous winter, and despite playing a largely peripheral role has popped up with some big moments for the Reds, hailed as a "special player" by Klopp.

Notably, his seasonal highlight came against high-fliers Newcastle United, scoring a late winner at Anfield in the early phases of the campaign after netting against Bournemouth in the previous match, Liverpool winning that one by a record-equalling 9-0.

Netting against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup too, albeit this one ending in defeat, Carvalho certainly seems to have that 'knack' for sniffing out goals, but his game is not determined by his goal-scoring feats.

Indeed, as per FBref, the £40k-per-week gem ranks among the top 1% of midfielders across Europe's top five leagues for rate of non-penalty goals and the top 1% for total shots per 90, but he also ranks among the top 11% for progressive carries, 1% for touches in the attacking box and the top 9% for rate of blocks per 90, and considering his lack of minutes on Merseyside this term, this underscored his burgeoning threat as a positive, box-crashing force from the centre.

He could indeed displace plans to secure the signing of Mac Allister, who has scored 12 goals and supplied three assists across all competitions for Albion this term and gleaned the World Cup with Argentina, heralded as his side's "golden boy" by content creator Ryan Adsett.

But Mac Allister is a midfielder who thrives upon an associative style, instigating swift forward transitions, driving forward like a charging ram and utilising his crisp short passing to unlock defences.

This is not unlike Carvalho, who is already demonstrating his aptitude at carrying the ball up-field and slotting himself into pockets of space.

He's a gem, unrefined, but glistening all the same, and with apt work in nurturing him to the fore of his capacity, he could emerge as a key component to Klopp's Liverpool team – a blitzing presence in the centre.

Even though the result of the first Test between New Zealand and Zimbabwe was decided before Sunday, captains Kane Williamson and Graeme Cremer did not expect the match to end without a fight

Firdose Moonda in Bulawayo31-Jul-2016

Even though the result of the first Test between New Zealand and Zimbabwe was decided before Sunday, captains Kane Williamson and Graeme Cremer did not expect the match to end without a fight. Williamson already saw signs of it on the first day; Cremer was preparing to be in the thick of it on the fourth.The Zimbabwe captain had already bowled 53 overs, including a marathon spell of 26 on the second day, batted for half an hour to drag the game out a little longer at the end of the third but he knew the fourth day would bring it’s greatest challenge: to ensure that even though Zimbabwe were going to lose, they would lose with some respectability.”We spoke about it after the first innings. We thought we were a little bit soft upfront but being in the field for so long, we realised what Test cricket is about,” Cremer said. “We watched them (New Zealand) bat. They didn’t play any shots out of frustration or anger and we wanted to do the same.”Despite the frustration of being so far behind the game and the anger that his men had not executed themselves as well as they could have, Cremer did not let that bleed into his batting. For five minutes short of three hours, he stoically saw off a New Zealand attack that was pushing for a quick result. He accepted the body blows that included being hit in the ribs, on the shoulder and on the arm he broke just before the World T20, which still has a plate in it. He let his team-mate Sean Williams, who had spent the past two days in the grip of a flu that has spread to more than half the Zimbabwean squad, have his moment in the sun.”I knew batting with Sean, he scored quite freely anyway, so I knew I had to play the supporting role. He was hitting a boundary an over and we didn’t need to score quicker than that. I just needed to stay there,” Cremer said. “He was feeling quite ill but credit to him. He was a little bit loose when he got out to bat and got a bit lucky but there he dominated. The player that he is, he can do that on wickets like this. He has got good hands and good eyes.”Williams’ century, the fastest by a Zimbabwean in Tests and decorated with 21 fours that included cover drives, sweeps and a ramp shot, will overshadow Cremer’s silent resistance at the other end, Craig Ervine’s first fifty, Donald Tiripano’s unbeaten 49 and Prince Masvaure’s impressive 42 on debut, and it should. But collectively, all those performances speak to a Zimbabwean batting line-up that is not as fragile as it looked when twin collapses saw it fall to 72 for 8 in the first innings and a top-order meltdown reduced them to 17 for 4 in the second.As the game progressed, the batsmen’s long-format muscle memory kicked in. At the same time, the New Zealand attack could not sustain the level of aggression that had seen them surge into the advantage earlier. Neil Wagner could not keep banging in the short ball, the hint of movement Tim Southee found was eventually lost and Trent Boult reached a top speed of 132kph but kept his average at 128.2kph. Williamson had expected all of that to happen.”The way we bowled in the first innings was a huge part of how we got ahead. When you are tying to bowl that again, it’s going to be extremely challenging,” he said. “Sometimes, on surfaces like this one, you need to try and be a little bit creative. You want to try and make things hostile and difficult but you also need to be patent and build pressure. It was a very good effort to get 20 wickets. We knew it was going to be tough. We had to fight very hard to pick up the wickets that we did.”Williamson had to use creative field placings, his spinners and a lot of patience while he waited for Wagner to find reverse-swing as the ball reached the end of it’s lifetime. He understood that things would happen slower than they had in the first innings but trusted that they would eventually happen. “Neil has showed us he can be pretty creative with the older ball which is useful on surfaces that are not offering swing,” Williamson said.Ross Taylor was preferred as the Man of the Match over Wagner but it was clear that even Williamson thought his left-armer was the man who changed the game. “That first innings put us ahead of the game. It was extremely important to have some hostile bowling on a surface that didn’t offer much,” he said.In the end, Zimbabwe lost the real fight on the first morning but they will take heart from knowing they picked themselves out to compete in the smaller battles that came later on.

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has decided he does not want to keep Juventus loanee Denis Zakaria, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

Which Chelsea players are leaving?

Pochettino is planning a huge overhaul of his squad this summer, with The Daily Mail reporting up to 15 out-of-favour players are set to head for the exit, including Joao Felix, who is poised to return to Atletico Madrid after his loan spell.

With six players set to return from loans elsewhere, Pochettino's squad is set to become even more bloated this summer, and the new manager will have to create some space in the squad by allowing a number of players to leave.

The aforementioned report names Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic, Edoaurd Mendy and Callum Hudson-Odoi as the main players expected to move on, while the situation surrounding a number of other first-team players remains unclear.

Taking to Twitter, Romano has now clarified that Zakaria will move on in the summer, with Pochettino coming to the conclusion that he is surplus to requirements. The transfer guru said:

"Mauricio Pochettino has decided also on Denis Zakaria: Swiss midfielder’s set to leave Chelsea in June, he’s not part of the plans."

"Chelsea will not trigger the buy option clause, Zakaria will return at Juventus and then will assess his options."

Should Chelsea let Denis Zakaria leave?

Chelsea bolstered their midfield options during the January transfer window, bringing in Enzo Fernandez for a British-record £106.8m fee, and they have since been linked with a number of other players, including Romeo Lavia and Manuel Ugarte.

As such, the Blues have no real need to keep hold of Zakaria, particularly considering he failed to hold down a consistent place in the starting XI, often being utilised as a substitute or benched.

The Switzerland international did manage to impress at times, being lauded as "fantastic" by members of the media for his performance against Manchester City back in January, but too often he failed to make an impact on the game.

In his most recent outing, the 26-year-old was ranked as the worst-performing player on the pitch by SofaScore, failing to win any of the four duels that he contested, and that display meant he did not make another appearance during the remainder of the campaign.

It appears to be the right call from Pochettino to let Zakaria leave, and the manager's focus should now be on bringing in a top-quality replacement.

Plays of the Day from England’s record-breaking performance in the third ODI against Pakistan at Trent Bridge

Andrew McGlashan at Trent Bridge30-Aug-2016

The tone
This was Pakistan’s last chance to stay in the series. The decision at the toss was taken out of Azhar Ali’s hands, but his team could prove they were focused on the challenge with a high-energy start in the field. Nice idea. What actually happened was Jason Roy got a thick inside edge through square leg which Mohammad Nawaz made a mess of chasing down, and allowed the ball to run into the rope. Pakistan’s day did not get any better.The reprieve
It took until the fourth innings of the series – England’s chase at Lord’s – for the TV umpire to call a no-ball under the current trial system. He was kept quite busy when Pakistan were in the field today. The first time he pressed the buzzer was hugely significant, too, because Alex Hales, on 72, had just pulled Wahab Riaz to deep square leg. Hales went on to add another 99.The captain’s choice
Azhar bravely/foolishly* (delete as appropriate) brought himself on in the 23rd over in a bid to break the stand between Hales and Joe Root that was setting England up nicely. Two balls in, and it wasn’t going well. Hales twice swatted him through midwicket, the second time for six, before the last two balls went for four again. The over cost 20. The captain didn’t bowl again.The wait
When it has taken 23 years to break a record, what’s a few more minutes? Hasan Ali began the 37th over of the innings with Hales on 165. The first ball was hit straight to point, then the second brought a review for lbw which wasn’t that close but made Hales sweat a little. Then, when back on strike, Hales clothed a drive to long-on and threw his head back in frustration. But the next ball sat up nicely and was clubbed to the leg side. Robin Smith’s 167 against Australia at Edgbaston in 1993 had been relegated to No. 2 on the list – even if Hales, typically, required his partner, Root, to explain why the crowd were suddenly so animated.The tally
So many landmarks were coming and going it was difficult to keep up. When Eoin Morgan launched Wahab’s final ball for six it was the 16th of England’s innings, the most they have hit in an ODI. It surpassed the 15 they collected against South Africa earlier this year (while making 399 at Bloemfontein). Their list of most sixes highlights the strides – leaps – they have made: eight of their top 10 entries have come since the last World Cup.The riposte
Mark Wood had the better of Sharjeel Khan over the first two matches of this series, beating him for a pace with a short ball at the Ageas Bowl then cartwheeling his off stump with a beauty at Lord’s. This innings, though, was a little different as Sharjeel, with nothing to lose, showed the striking that has earned him a recall. The first four balls of Wood’s fifth over all went for four – three pulled off the hip with a hint of Brian Lara. For a moment, when Sharjeel pulled again against the last ball of the over, Wood thought he had him, only for Hales to blot his copybook a little by spilling the catch.

The race for coveted Inter midfielder Nicolo Barella is heating up, with a wealth of top Premier League outfits contesting for the Italy international's signature this summer.

What's the latest on Liverpool's pursuit of Nicolo Barella?

Liverpool are at the forefront of the race, joined in their intrigue by Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle United, all said to be 'crazy' about the prospect of signing Barella, according to FCInterNews.

Touted at as much as €100m (£87m) by his team's hierarchy, the vested interest in his services by English football's most prominent teams could create an exorbitant transfer battle.

Barella could be headed for the Nerazzurri exit door when considering reports that he is personally pushing for a departure in search of new horizons, but contracted with until 2026, it could be a taxing pursuit indeed.

Should Liverpool sign Nicolo Barella?

The obvious stumbling block for Klopp and co is, of course, Barella's price tag, which is not too far away from the €103m (£88m) initial fee that Real Madrid have paid to prise Jude Bellingham away from Borussia Dortmund.

However, should Liverpool's technical director Jorg Schmadtke manage to whittle the Inter ace's jaw-dropping valuation down over the next few weeks, the Reds would glean one of Europe's superlative maestros.

Indeed, having made 51 appearances this season, the 26-year-old has posted nine goals and ten assists and been hailed as a "genius" for his exploits by reporter Mike Piellucci, with the chance for glory awaiting in the Champions League final against Manchester City this weekend.

With Anfield waving goodbye to a host of departees this summer, space has been opened for someone of Barella's ilk to forge a career as the Merseyside club's new general, reinstating the cohesion and verve that blinked out of existence as Liverpool slipped into obscurity this season, failing to qualify for the Champions League.

Alexis Mac Allister has already been signed by Anfield's powers that be, penning a long-term contract after his £35m release clause at Brighton & Hove Albion was met, a shrewd move heralded as a "bargain" by Fabrizio Romano.

Liverpool acted with the ruthless incisiveness that has become a staple point of Klopp's tenure at the club, and the energy and dynamism that the 24-year-old brings will undoubtedly provide a shimmering new sheen to a central midfield requiring comprehensive reconstruction.

Barella would ice the cake, blending his maestro-like skill set with Mac Allister's box-surging, progressive presence and digging up the dynamism and intensity required for success in a Klopp system.

As per FBref, the 43-cap Italy gem ranks among the top 7% of midfielders across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for non-penalty goals, the top 21% for assists, the top 11% for shot-creating actions, the top 19% for progressive passes and the top 11% for progressive carries per 90.

Mac Allister, comparatively, ranks among the top 19% for shot-creating actions, the top 20% for progressive carries and the top 18% for successful take-ons per 90, which illustrates an interconnection of skill sets, pushing the ball upfield and suffocating opposition with first-rate creativity and crisp passing play.

Whether Liverpool decide to bite the bullet and acquiesce to Inter's monetary demands remains to be seen, but unquestionably, Barella is a midfielder of every bit the calibre to take Anfield back to the peak of the mountain of aspiring European outfits.
