Leeds United are now set to make an imminent bid for Real Madrid star Gonzalo Garcia, following involvement from manager Daniel Farke.

Leeds have been urged to sign a new striker, having failed to score in five of their 11 Premier League matches up to this point, with Clinton Morrison saying: “If Leeds want to survive, they need to bring in an out-and-out goalscorer that’s going to get them the 10 to 15 goals to keep them in the Premier League, which is going to be difficult.

“Because in the Premier League. You’re only as good as your strikers. But I hope Leeds do stay up because it’s going to be difficult.”

Farke would’ve been hoping Dominic Calvert-Lewin could be the man to fire his side to safety, but the centre-forward has recorded an xG of just 2.02 in the Premier League so far this season, with his only goal coming in the 3-1 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers back in September.

With Joel Piroe goalless, Farke is short on top-quality options to rival Lukas Nmecha for a starting spot, and the West Yorkshire outfit are now set to make a move for a new striker ahead of the January transfer window.

Leeds set to make imminent bid for Gonzalo Garcia

According to a report from TEAMtalk, Leeds are now set to make an imminent bid for Real Madrid forward Garcia, with a formal £17m offer ready, and the Spanish club are willing to sanction his departure for a fee in that ballpark.

Farke has managed to convince the 49ers the 21-year-old could propel the Whites to Premier League safety, which means the board have now sanctioned a move, but there could be competition from rival Premier League clubs.

Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers are also preparing moves of their own, with Brighton and Sunderland also being named as potential suitors for the Spaniard, who has been unable to force his way into the Real Madrid starting XI this season.

Hailed as “world-class” by journalist Zach Lowy, the youngster has impressed when given the opportunity by Xabi Alonso, finding the back of the net four times in six outings at the Club World Cup, while also grabbing an assist in the Champions League this season.

Unfortunately for the five-time Spain U21 international, however, he is behind some global superstars in the Real Madrid pecking order, with Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo all vying for first-team spots, which means he is at risk of his development being hampered.

As such, Garcia should seek a move in the January transfer window, and he would become an instant cult hero at Elland Road if he were able to fire Leeds to safety…

Ryan Mason is certainly feeling the pressure of being an EFL manager on his shoulders right now at West Bromwich Albion.

Three wins from his opening four games in the Championship as the Baggies’ new head coach helped to lift some early tension, but with seven defeats now next to West Brom’s name in the competitive league, he isn’t looking at ease in the Hawthorns hot seat.

It could have been so different for the West Midlands outfit last time out on the road to top-of-the-table Coventry City, though, as a Aune Heggebo brace saw the visitors race into an unlikely 2-0 lead.

Yet, a red card to Jayson Molumby would ultimately aid the free-flowing Sky Blues, as a 3-2 victory was eventually secured.

Mason will hope he can guide his underperforming team out of this sticky patch and that no knee-jerk decisions happen from the powers that be, with lots of contracts set to expire down the line, which he could have a say over.

Contract issues at West Brom

A number of contracts are set to expire at the Hawthorns next summer, with Mason hopeful he will still be manager for the foreseeable future, regardless of his side underperforming as of late in 17th spot in the second tier.

Josh Maja is one notable name that catches the eye when running through those whose contracts are in play until June 2026, with the injury-prone attacker only starting four games this season, having had to now settle for fewer minutes up against the aforementioned Heggebo.

Only one goal has come the £17k-per-week striker’s way from those limited starts, too, next to the Norwegian’s heftier tally of four, with his injury issues another factor to consider as to whether West Brom will hand him an extended deal or not.

Karlan Grant will also be worrying about his future up until the mid-point of next year, with zero goals or assists next to his name this season, while Daryl Dike will surely be sensing that the end of his injury-plagued Baggies career is in sight next year when his deal ceases to be, as the American remains unsurprisingly sidelined still.

He also takes home a whopping £25k-per-week salary, despite his long-standing injury troubles.

However, he isn’t the only high earner that could soon be taken off the Baggies wage bill, as this Hawthorns veteran – who earns more than first team personnel Heggebo and Mikey Johnston – potentially waves goodbye to the Championship club shortly.

The West Brom high earner who could soon be axed

During West Brom’s slump in form, former Celtic winger Johnston has still been a regular scorer of some sweet strikes, such as the one that was hammered home back in October.

Amazingly, though, when looking at West Brom’s wage costs, Jed Wallace comes in as earning more than the standout duo, having also banked £25k-per-week this season, like Dike, as per Capology, even when consistently finding himself out of Mason’s starting XI.

Once upon a time, though, in the West Midlands, Wallace was seen as a constant source of creativity down the flanks, with six goals and eight assists picked up during his debut season at the club seeing his former boss Steve Bruce hail him as a “massive asset” to have around the place.

Unfortunately for the ex-Millwall forward, he isn’t producing those same electric numbers now, though, with only two goals coming his way across his last 40 outings in the demanding Championship.

Heggebo managed to put away that same amount just from the tie at the CBS Arena, yet, the former Brann striker only takes home a £15k-per-week pay packet.

Moreover, Johnston, who terrorised Coventry during the first half with two assists, also falls behind with a £12.5-per-week salary.

Therefore, although Isaac Price has been complimentary of his fellow Baggies midfielder this season by stating that he “leads the dressing room”, and he has had past moments of magic, Wallace could soon be shoved to the exit door when his contract expires this coming June – alongside the likes of Dike and Grant – off the back of his performances continuing to dip.

He replaced Edward Moore for Western Province in South Africa’s first-class competition

The trial is part of an ICC initiative seeking a solution for teams that lose players to serious injury during a match•Associated Press

Western Province opening batter Joshua van Heerden has become the first like-for-like injury replacement under a new trial for substitutes in cricket. Van Heerden replaced Edward Moore in a provincial four-day game against Lions at Newlands in the second round of the CSA’s first-class competition. Moore suffered a tear to his left adductor (inner thigh muscle) while fielding on the second day.The trial, which is also being conducted in Australia’s Sheffield Shield and India’s Duleep Trophy and Ranji Trophy, is part of an ICC initiative seeking a solution for teams that lose players to serious injury during a match.Like Australia, South Africa will consider both internal and external injuries (India are only looking at external injuries for now) and have a strict protocol for determining when a player can be replaced. If the injury is internal, such as a muscle tear, which was the case with Moore, the player is required to go for an Ultrasound and/or an MRI scan. The report is then sent to CSA’s chief medical officer Dr Hashendra Ramjee and CSA’s cricket operations manager Obakeng Sepeng who study the results and determine if the injury is serious enough to allow for replacement. They then contact the match referee to confirm the decision. If the injury is external, such as a visible dislocation or broken bone, the match referee can make the decision on a substitute in consultation with Dr Ramjee and Sepeng.Related

CA to trial injury subs with tactical twist in Sheffield Shield

The injured player can only be replaced provided he has been ruled out of the match in its entirety. He will then be required to satisfy a “stand-down period of seven days”, as stated in CSA’s updated playing conditions before returning to play. In Australia’s case, substitutions are only allowed until stumps on the second day and the injured player is mandated a 12-day non-playing period. Like Australia and India, South Africa are only trialling the system in multi-day cricket for now.The differences in protocol stem from the ways in which different countries want to trial the system. They will all report back to the ICC, which could then come up with regulations for like-for-like substitutions in the international game. Currently, substitutions in international cricket are only allowed for concussion.

انتقد الفرنسي تيير هنري، نجم آرسنال السابق لاعبو الدوري الألماني بعدما سُئل عن تدني مستوى لاعب الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي ليفربول.

وتعاقد ليفربول مع الألماني فلوريان فيرتز، خلال فترة الانتقالات الصيفية الماضية قادمًا من نادي باير ليفركوزن في صفقة قُدرت بحوالي 116 مليون يورو.

وخاض فيرتز، 197 مباراة بقميص باير ليفركوزن واستطاع أن يسجل 57 هدفًا كما قدم 65 تمريرة حاسمة بواقع 122 مساهمة تهديفية.

وقال هنري، في تصريحات نقلتها صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو”: “لاعبو الدوري الألماني يُثيرون قلقي دائمًا لأن أسلوب لعب الدوري هناك يُتيح لك خلق العديد من الفرص، وتسجيل العديد من الأهداف، وتقديم العديد من التمريرات الحاسمة بمجرد الجري”.

وأكمل: “أما في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز الوضع مختلف لأنه يُمكن للاعبين محاصرتك لذلك فإن اللاعب من الدوري الألماني يواجه صعوبة بالغة”.

وأضاف: “في هذه الأيام، تُخلق فرصا أقل بكثير مما كانت عليه في أيامنا، الفرق تركز بشكل كبير على الدفاع والمساحات محدودة”.

وأتم: “الأشياء الجيدة تأتي بعد المخاطرة، إذا لم يسمح المدربون للشباب بالمراوغة وارتكاب الأخطاء فماذا يُفترض بهم أن يفعلوا؟”.

Mikel Arteta has built a truly world-class squad at Arsenal over the last few years.

From front to back, the likes of William Saliba, Declan Rice and Eberechi Eze would comfortably get into any side in the Premier League.

Yet, even though he’s not been at his very best this season, Bukayo Saka still stands as the club’s most important player.

The Hale Ender is their talisman, someone capable of winning games on his own, so fans should be delighted by reports linking Arsenal to someone even better than Saka.

Arsenal target a better player than Saka

Arsenal have already been linked with several truly brilliant players ahead of the winter window.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

For example, Juventus’ Kenan Yıldız has been touted for a £88m move to the Emirates, as has Real Madrid’s Rodrygo.

However, while both of these wingers are sensational talents and would undoubtedly improve the Gunners’ squad, neither one is better than Saka.

Vinícius Júnior, on the other hand, just might be.

Yes, according to a recent report from Spain, Arsenal are now interested in the Madrid superstar.

The report has revealed that with talks over a new deal at the Bernabéu going poorly, the Gunners are now ‘pursuing the Brazilian.’

A potential price is not mentioned, but with Transfermarkt valuing the winger at €150m – about £132m – it would likely require a new British record transfer fee.

With that said, if Arsenal have the chance to sign Vini Jr, they should take it, not least because he’s one of the few attackers in the world better than Saka.

How Vini compares to Saka

Now, the first thing to make clear is that Saka is a genuinely world-class footballer, and not only that, but he has the chance to become a legend at Arsenal.

However, what is equally true is that Vini Jr might just be a marginally better player, but one who could form a devastating partnership with him on the opposite flank.

With that out of the way, which international superstar comes out on top when we look at their output this season?

Well, so far this year, the Gunners’ number seven has scored six goals in 15 appearances, totalling 1053 minutes, coming out to an average of a goal every 2.5 games, or every 175.5 minutes.

For his efforts, the former Flamengo gem has scored five goals and provided four assists in 17 appearances, totalling 1172 minutes, which comes out to an average of a goal involvement every 1.88 games, or every 130.22 minutes.

Which game-changing wideman comes out on top when taking a look under the hood, at their underlying numbers?

Well, perhaps a little surprisingly, the Brazilian dynamo doesn’t just come out better in most metrics, but practically every single relevant one.

For example, these include metrics like non-penalty expected goals plus assists, progressive passes and carries, shots on target, successful take-ons and more, all per 90.

Ultimately, Saka is an exceptional player, but as Ronaldo once pointed out, Vini Jr is arguably “the best player in the world”, and therefore, if Arsenal have even the slightest chance to sign him, they should go all out to do so.

ويدين مانشستر سيتي بالفضل لنجمه فيل فودين، الذي سجل هدفاً قاتلاً في الوقت بدل الضائع، ليحصد الفريق المضيف 3 نقاط.

وقال روبن دياز في تصريحات نشرتها “بي بي سي” البريطانية: “الأخطاء التي حدثت أمام ليدز يونايتد لا يمكن أن تحدث”.

وأضاف: “لم نقدم أداء جيدًا بما يكفي، لسنا راضين عن بداية الشوط الثاني بالتحديد، ربما بعد مرور 10 أو 15 دقيقة، تأقلمنا أخيراً، وبدأنا نلعب براحة أكبر لكن بحلول ذلك الوقت، أعتقد أن النتيجة كانت 2-1”.

وأتم: “لكن مع ذلك، واجهنا الموقف وواصلنا القتال، أتيحت فرصة لفودين وفرصة أخرى لعمر مرموش قبلها بوقت قليل، أنا فخور بالطريقة التي واصل بها الفريق القتال، حتى ريان شرقي، بالطريقة التي دخل بها وكان يرغب في المساعدة وإنهاء المباراة، أقدر جهود جميع اللاعبين”.

وشدد روبن دياز: “مباراة تلو الأخرى، كلما حاولنا الانحراف تسبب ذلك في مشاكل، لذا علينا أن نلعب مباراة تلو الأخرى، هذه هي الرسالة، يجب أن يكون هذا هو جوهرنا، الشيء الوحيد الذي يشغل بالنا، لا شيء غير ذلك”.

Em entrevista coletiva, o presidente do Vitória de Guimarães, António Miguel Cardoso subiu o tom. Confira abaixo o que o dirigente disse.

– O treinador sai a custo zero porque, perante um treinador que a 3 dias do fim da temporada pretende sair, o clube não pode ficar refém de uma situação destas. Temos de ter alguém no comando que se preocupe.

كشف نادي برشلونة منذ لحظات، عن تفاصيل إصابة لاعبه داني أولمو والتي تعرض لها خلال مباراة البلوجرانا ضد أتلتيكو مدريد بالدوري الإسباني.

أولمو تعرض إلى إصابة قوية خلال مباراة برشلونة ضد أتلتيكو مدريد، في قمة منافسات الجولة الـ15 من عمر الدوري الإسباني للدرجة الأولى، والتي فاز بها البارسا 3-1.

واستطاع أولمو تسجيل هدف برشلونة الثاني، لكن الدولي الإسباني سقط على كتفه مباشرًة ليخرج بعد هذا الهدف مصابًا.

وأكد برشلونة في بيان عبر حسابه الرسمي في “تويتر”، أن أولمو يعاني من خلع في كتفه الأيسر، وتعرض لهذه الإصابة في لقاء الأمس ضد أتلتيكو مدريد.

وأشار برشلونة، إلى أن أولمو سوف يخضع إلى علاج طبيعي خلال الفترة المقبلة، بناءً على نتيجة الفحوصات، في حين سوف تستمر هذه الإصابة لمدة شهر.

ويمثل غياب أولمو ضربة موجعة بالنسبة لبرشلونة، حيث لا يوجد لاعب الآن يستطيع اللعب في مركز صانع الألعاب بشكل صريح الآن، في ظل إصابة فيرمين لوبيز كذلك.

ولن يستطيع أولمو المشاركة خلال مباراة برشلونة الأسبوع المقبل ضد ريال بيتيس، والتي ستكون صعبة على الفريق الكتالوني خصوصًا وأنها تقام خارج ملعبه.

ويعتبر أولمو لاعب سيئ الحظ بشكل كبير، حيث دخل اللاعب في سلسلة من الإصابات المتتالية مع برشلونة منعت المدرب هانز فليك من الاستفادة بابن الـ27 عامًا بشكل منتظم.
