Newcastle United are reportedly looking to complete the signing of an "extraordinary" renowned midfielder, as they aim to make further reinforcements in the coming transfer windows.

Newcastle transfer news…

Eddie Howe's side drew 2-2 at West Ham on Sunday afternoon, as Mohammed Kudus' late strike deprived them of three valuable Premier League points. While failure to pick up a victory in east London was slightly disappointing, it is still a draw that could be looked back on as a decent result in May, with the Hammers a strong team currently. Newcastle have really turned a corner since a poor start to the season, not least thrashing Paris Saint-Germain 4-1 in the Champions League, and it feels as though they could once again be destined for big things in 2023/24.

One thing that could help the Magpies in their quest for glory is making a number of new signings in the January transfer window, allowing Howe to make his squad stronger, aiding rotation in the process. Should the right players not be available at that point, plenty of summer additions should be expected instead, even though the manager has addressed Newcastle's FFP situation, stating they won't lead to the club spending big, and that appears to have resulted in targeting a potential soon to be free agent.

Newcastle transfer update; Adrien Rabiot

According to a fresh Newcastle transfer update on Adrien Rabiot, the Magpies are interested in signing the Juventus midfielder at the end of this season, with Rabiot's contract expiring at that point. The Magpies aren't alone in expressing a keenness to snap up the Frenchman, however, with Manchester United also believed to be in the mix. Both clubs are "ready to knock on Rabiot's door again" after showing interest in the past, and they look in a better position to offer him a superior deal than Juve, as they look to keep hold of him.

Rabiot could be a really shrewd signing by Newcastle in the summer of 2024, with the free aspect of it making it far less of a gamble, too. Granted, the 28-year-old may demand high wages, but not having to pay a fee for him could make it an excellent deal. The Juve midfielder has been a top-level player for some time now, winning 38 caps for France and making a combined 412 appearances for his current club and Paris Saint-Germain, while former French striker David Trezeguet has described Rabiot as "extraordinary".

A box-to-box player who can provide both defensive nous and an eye for goal, Rabiot has averaged 2.1 aerial duel wins per game in Serie A so far this season, not to mention enjoying an 89% pass completion rate, highlighting the overall quality that he possesses in his game. He could therefore be great foil for the likes of Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali, as well as providing Howe with the extra depth he may well crave.

Ben, 22, a left-handed batsman, made his Northamptonshire debut against Derbyshire last week after a successful period in the 2nd XI

ESPNcricinfo staff15-Aug-2018Ben Curran, the brother of England cricketers Sam and Tom, has signed with Northamptonshire, the club of their late father, Kevin, for the remainder of the season.Ben, 22, a left-handed batsman, made his Northamptonshire debut in the T20 Blast against Derbyshire last week after a successful period in the 2nd XI where he scored 490 runs in six Championship matches having caught the club’s eye while playing against them for MCC Young Cricketers.”I’m delighted to have signed for Northants. The fact that my Dad played here too it makes it even more special to be able to represent this county,” Curran said”I hope that I can contribute in all three formats over the next few years and fingers crossed we can have a strong end to the season in both the Blast and the County Championship”.Northants’ head coach, David Ripley said: “Ben has scored heavily in all formats for us in the 2’s as well as continuing to churn out runs for the MCCYC’s.”He deserves an opportunity and we look forward to working with him over the next two seasons. He has a lot of competitive spirit and I know he will make the most of his chance.”We are grateful to Steve Kirby and the YC’s for their cooperation in making this happen.”Kevin Curran had a successful spell with Northamptonshire between 1991 and 1999

After a disastrous start, Chelsea are beginning to show signs of life under Mauricio Pochettino, even after they squandered a 2-0 lead against Arsenal. The fact that they competed on most fronts against last season's nearly-champions shows that the Blues shouldn't be written off quite yet, and neither should Pochettino. If the Argentine can get certain details right within his squad, then he may just have a side capable of securing a top-four place in the Premier League.

One major recent positive has been the form of Mykhailo Mudryk. The Ukraine international finally ended his wait for a Premier League goal by scoring against Fulham, before following that up with a second goal in three games with his audacious effort against Arsenal. That hasn't stopped Pochettino's pursuit of further competition in the left-wing role, however, with one particular star reportedly targeted.

Latest Chelsea transfer news

It was once again a busy summer for Todd Boehly and Chelsea, as players such as Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic, and Kai Havertz all left for fellow top-six Premier League clubs, allowing room for the likes of Cole Palmer, Christopher Nkunku, and Moises Caicedo to arrive. It remains to be seen whether that transfer tactic will pay off for the Blues, though, having failed to cement their place among the top flight's best sides so far. Further arrivals may change that, however.

The latest Nicolas Gonzalez transfer news suggests that those at Stamford Bridge could attempt to solve their attacking problems in January. According to reports in Spain, Chelsea and Liverpool could battle it out to sign the right-winger, who Fiorentina reportedly value up to €60m (£52m). We've seen how willing Chelsea are to spend money in the last two years, perhaps making Gonzalez's price-tag no issue for those at Stamford Bridge.

Nicolas Gonzalez stats

It's no surprise that both Liverpool and Chelsea are interested in signing the Fiorentina man. After all, Gonzalez's stats so far this season show the level that he is capable of going to. Even when compared to Chelsea's current wingers, the Argentine stands out in certain areas, as per FBref.

Gonzalez's output when it comes to goals has been particularly impressive this season, with five in seven games – six of those being starts – proving just how impressive he has been. What makes his start in Serie A this season even greater is the fact that only Lautaro Martinez and Victor Omishen have found the back of the net more times.

It's no shock, then, that the Fiorentina man has been at the centre of praise, including from statistician Opta Paolo, who posted on X back in January: "253 – Nicolás González has scored a Serie A goal as a starter for the first time since May 21st, 2022, against Juventus, 253 days ago. Jewel."

With that said, it will certainly be interesting to see whether Chelsea move ahead of Liverpool in the battle to sign Gonzalez, and secure his signature in the process.

The young forward snatched an unforgettable 4-3 victory for the Red Devils to book them a trip to Wembley to face Coventry City

Amad Diallo sent Manchester United to Wembley by scoring the most important goal of his career and settling an epic FA Cup quarter-final tie with Liverpool in the final minute of extra-time at Old Trafford. Amad's last-gasp strike – and his subsequent sending off for taking his shirt off in celebration – provided a fitting end to a whirlwind match in which United played some of their best football of the season, but twice had to chase the game.

Scott McTominay knocked the ball into an empty net from one yard out to put United deservedly ahead, but Liverpool showed their class by turning the tie on its head in the space of four minutes at the end of the first half, with Alexis Mac Allister levelling with a deflected strike before Mohamed Salah netted on the rebound after Darwin Nunez's shot was saved.

The Red Devils stayed in the game and Antony came off the bench to drag the match into extra-time with a late goal. United were again dominant from then on, but again fell behind to a deflected strike, this time from Harvey Elliot in the 105th minute. Marcus Rashford, who had missed a gaping chance to snatch victory in last minute of normal time, lifted himself to pull United level once more.

The fixture looked to be heading to penalties for the first time ever, but Amad had the final say, firing in off the post after a lay off from the outstanding Alejandro Garnacho.

  Goalkeeper & Defence

  Andre Onana (5/10):

  Made a good save from Diaz but also looked shaky. Unlucky with the deflection for Mac Allister's equaliser but sent Nunez's shot straight to Salah's feet and nearly fumbled a shot from the Uruguayan into the net.

  Diogo Dalot (6/10):

  Supported the midfield well but struggled to contain Diaz and could have done better against Nunez for the second goal.

  Victor Lindelof (5/10):

  More comfortable back in the middle of defence than at full-back, but Nunez had the run of him.

  Raphael Varane (6/10):

  Put himself about and made plenty of timely blocks.

  Aaron Wan-Bissaka (5/10):

  Played his first game for two months and had the daunting task of playing out-of-position against Salah. Didn't look comfortable.

  Midfield

  Scott McTominay (6/10):

  Scored a tap-in but again was disappointing with his overall play. That said, he teed up Rashford for the second equaliser after winning the ball high up the pitch.

  Kobbie Mainoo (8/10):

  A class act and further proof that he can step up against the top opponents after being snubbed by Gareth Southgate.

  Bruno Fernandes (5/10):

  Another big game which he couldn't put his stamp on, but he battled through visible pain to last the 120 minutes.

  Attack

  Alejandro Garnacho (9/10):

  United's greatest threat throughout the 120 minutes, never ceasing to cause havoc down either wing and playing his part in three of the four goals. Also ran his heart out and dug deep in defence when needed.

  Rasmus Hojlund (4/10):

  A bumpy return for the striker, who looked rusty and off the pace in his first game in four weeks. Made several bad passes, only touched the ball 13 times and fell over when he had his best shooting chance.

  Marcus Rashford (5/10):

  Didn't work hard enough and when he had the best chance of the game at his feet in stoppage-time, he wasted it. However, he made amends by keeping his cool in extra-time to equalise.

  Subs & Manager

  Antony (7/10):

  The most unlikely figure to inspire United and he sure chose his moment to score his second goal in 39 games. Also worked hard and with intelligence.

  Harry Maguire (5/10):

  Squandered a great chance in extra-time as he lacked the confidence to shoot and blasted a late effort straight at Kelleher.

  Christian Eriksen (5/10):

  Tried to pick out key passes but couldn't pull them off.

  Amad Diallo (7/10):

  Worked hard defensively and then scored the most important goal of his career. Then showed his inexperience by removing his shirt and getting sent off.

  Mason Mount (N/A):

  His first appearance in several months but barely made a mark in his 15 minutes on the pitch.

  Erik ten Hag (7/10):

  Oversaw one of United's strongest performances of the season and his changes made a huge impact.

Liverpool have boasted their fair share of attacking talent over the years, but there has not been such a devastating unified strikeforce as the spearhead assembled under Jurgen Klopp's management.

The Reds had failed to kick on since the prosperity of the noughties and boasted just one League Cup trophy since that illustrious spell when Rafa Benitez orchestrated silver-laden success across the FA Cup and Champions League across two seasons, with Steven Gerrard the centrepiece.

Klopp arrived in 2015 after Brendan Rodgers' Luis Suarez-led side failed to win the 2013/14 Premier League title after an enthralling contest – following the bitter culmination, the Uruguayan phenomenon was sold to Barcelona for £75m in 2014.

With his pillar of prodigy gone the towering Anfield edifice crumbled, but the incoming German manager rekindled the flame and restored the Merseysiders with his transcendent stewardship.

Fast-track to the present day and Liverpool has enjoyed one of the most resounding chapters in its lengthy history, winning trophies from all directions and establishing itself as a true European powerhouse once more.

While the collective growth in quality has been remarkable, Klopp will perhaps be best known for his devastating attacking instruments, with Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane forming an iconic frontline that struck fear into the hearts of Europe's most formidable outfits.

Salah still plies his trade on Merseyside to this day, having posted 190 goals and 83 assists across all competitions for the Reds, while Firmino departed in the summer after 362 appearances, described as a “leader” by journalist Henry Winter for his integral role.

Mane was the first to leave, but that does not discredit the profound effect he had on the Anfield side, cementing his name as one of the finest of his generation, and that's despite Klopp holding major reservations upon the first encounter between the pair.

Why did Liverpool sign Sadio Mane?

Mane is comfortably one of Liverpool's finest forwards of the modern era, with his rise to prominence really something to behold, but it wasn't always this way, with the Senegalese star not exactly making the best impression on his future manager.

Revealing his first thoughts in 2020, Klopp explained how Mane first came to his attention while he headed the Borussia Dortmund ship, and that he certainly hadn't been coloured impressed.

Klopp said: "I remember my first encounter with Sadio. It was in Dortmund. There was a really young guy sitting there. His baseball cap was askew, the blond streak he still has today.

"He looked like a rapper just starting out. I thought, 'I don't have time for this'. Our team back then really wasn't bad. I needed someone who could handle not being a starter at the very beginning, someone I could develop."

Well, a few years on and Mane had been dazzling in the Premier League with Southampton, scoring 25 goals and supplying 14 assists from 75 outings – including the division's fastest-ever hat-trick – and leaving Klopp no choice but to part with £34m in 2016 to secure his services.

It came during Klopp's first summer transfer window since taking the reins, with fellow acquisitions Gini Wijnaldum and Joel Matip forming the early framework for the forthcoming illustrious endeavours.

It was a masterful move, but no one knew that yet.

How many goals did Sadio Mane score for Liverpool?

Across 269 outings for the Merseyside outfit, the 31-year-old enjoyed the best years of his career by a long stretch, scoring 120 times and serving up 48 assists for his teammates, earning praise for his "unbelievable" performances by pundit Jamie Redknapp.

Winning all the silverware – barring the Community Shield – that Klopp has gleaned on English shores to date, the 97-cap Senegal legend has been more than just instrumental, blending lightning pace with deft attacking motions a cheetah would tip its hat to.

Situated on the left channel, Mane and Salah wreaked devastation as they veered inwards, having found space following the wizardry of Roberto Firmino in the centre, whose intellect and selflessness broke the enemy lines and allowed the incisive. wide pair to flourish.

Hitting double-digits across all six of his Premier League campaigns with Liverpool, his threat was one of great consistency, notably scoring 40 goals across the 2018/19 – 2019/20 terms alone.

The one-time Red Bull Salzburg man also combined 52 times with both Salah and Firmino across his Reds career, highlighting the level of destructive ability this esteemed frontline held.

Such prowess led Klopp to hail him as “one of Liverpool’s greatest ever players" also claiming that “the goals he scored, the trophies he won; a legend, for sure, but also a modern-day Liverpool icon."

All good things come to an end, and with just one year left on his contract and a resolution looking unlikely, Mane was sold to German champions Bayern Munich for an initial £27.5m, but his time in Bavaria was anything but auspicious.

The 5 foot 9 gem scored 12 times last season but failed to truly find his feet and saw his situation compounded following a high-profile bust-up with teammate Leroy Sane.

He has since joined the lucrative Saudi Pro League wave and teamed up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr for £24m, which ostensibly draws a curtain on his feats across Europe.

Endeared to the Liverpool fanbase and with a legacy woven into the fabric of this great footballing city, he is truly a staple of the immense success under Klopp's wing, rewriting the narrative and providing Anfield with a brilliant jewel.

One Saudi Pro League club have made contact with the agent of a Manchester City superstar, according to a new report.

Man City transfer news…

The Sky Blues were once again busy in the summer transfer market, despite a historic treble winning campaign last time out. Pep Guardiola’s side brought in the likes of Mateo Kovacic, Jeremy Doku, Mateus Nunes and Josko Gvardiol from Chelsea, Rennes, Wolves and RB Leipzig respectively, however, there were also a number of players who left the club.

On the pitch, City have made a solid start to the new season, although back-to-back defeats to Wolves and Arsenal prior to the international break have left them behind Tottenham at the top of the Premier League table after nine rounds of fixtures. One player who City have been without recently is influential midfielder Kevin de Bruyne, and it looks as if the Belgium international is a wanted man if a new report is to be believed.

Journalist Rudy Galetti provided a Kevin de Bruyne transfer update in the last 48 hours, revealing that Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr, who signed Aymeric Laporte in the summer, have made contact with the player’s agent to set up a meeting where they plan to discuss a potential transfer.

“Al Nassr contacted De Bruyne’s agent to set up a meeting with the player soon. The aim of the club is to explain in details its long-term project to the Belgian, whose contract with MCFC will expire in 2025: evolving situation.”

Is Kevin de Bruyne injured?

De Bruyne started the opening game of the season against Burnley, however, the attacking midfielder suffered an injury setback just 20 minutes into the game back in August and hasn’t featured since. A recent De Bruyne injury update has suggested that the 32-year-old is no closer to returning, with Guardiola saying:

"No problems, except Kevin. No, I don't know. [When Kevin will be back]."

Guardiola is a huge fan of De Bruyne as well, previously labelling the player as the “best in the world”.

“He’s so important. He is the best in the world in this kind of running and transition. He can run and break the space for the opponent. It’s devastating. He is really, really good. Everyone knows it – this isn’t the first season he’s played in the Premier League.”

Therefore, it could be a huge blow if City were to lose their star man to the Saudi Pro League in the future, however, the club’s current priority will be getting him back to full fitness once more, with City looking to defend their Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup titles.

Newcastle United are now showing serious interest in signing a “magnificent” Premier League star, who scored two goals against Eddie Howe’s side earlier this season.

Newcastle keen to strengthen in attack

Following Alexander Isak’s departure, Newcastle strengthened their forward line considerably during the summer, signing Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa, but they have had to do without the DR Congo international, who has only just recovered from a knee injury.

Woltemade, on the other hand, has made a promising start to life in the Premier League, despite the own-goa against Sunderland, chipping in with five goals and one assist, and Howe has praised the centre-forward for the way in which he’s been able to adapt to life in England, saying: “He has done brilliantly, just a great person, a good character,”

“It is difficult to come in and do what he has done. He has fitted the team ethos.”

“He has British humour, he came in with a really good way of approaching a transfer. He immediately came in, felt at home and made people laugh.”

However, with the January transfer window now just over two weeks away, the Magpies are looking to sign another striker, according to a report from Caught Offside, which states they are seriously interested in signing Brentford striker Igor Thiago.

Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa are also very keen on the Brazilian, but a deal could be on the expensive side, with the Bees potentially set to hold out for as much as £70m, which makes a January move complicated.

A summer departure is the more likely scenario, as Brentford are in a strong negotiating position, given that Thiago is contracted until 2029, and ‘strong offers’ expected to arrive at the end of the season,

"Magnificent" Thiago could push for Woltemade's starting spot

Given that Howe most commonly implements a 4-3-3 system, the Newcastle manager may have a selection dilemma on his hands if he signs the Brentford star, and there are signs he could challenge for Woltemade’s starting spot.

The 24-year-old has been prolific in the Premier League this season, having already scored 11 goals, and manager Keith Andrews is clearly happy with his performances, describing him as “magnificent.”

Two of those goals actually came against Howe’s side, with the Gama-born striker bagging a brace to lead Brentford to a 3-1 victory against the Magpies back in November.

With Woltemade making an impressive start to life at St. James’ Park, however, there are question marks over whether Newcastle need to bring in another striker, and £70m would be a record transfer fee for the Tyneside club.

O elenco do Peixe permanecerá na capital paranaense, onde treinará neste domingo (22), e depois viajará para o Equador. O Alvinegro já não terá Luan Peres, titular da função, acometido pela Covid-19. Lucas Veríssimo, recuperado do coronavírus, viajou para o Paraná, mas foi preservado. O defensor poderá ser utilizado pela contra a LDU.

وترددت أنباء عقب المباراة تشير إلى عدم قانونية مشاركة ماييلي بسبب حصوله على 3 إنذارات، مما يستوجب إيقافه.

وقال أحمد زاهر المدير الإداري لفريق نادي بيراميدز، في تصريحات رسمية، إن ماييلي مهاجم الفريق لا يمتلك إلا إنذارين فقط في بطولة الدوري الممتاز.

وأضاف زاهر أن اللاعب لم يحصل إلا على إنذارين فقط، طبقا لإخطارات الحكام، وكانا في مباراتي سموحة بالدور الأول باستاد الدفاع الجوي، والدور الثاني باستاد الإسكندرية.

وشدد على أن اللاعب لم يحصل على بطاقة كما يتردد في لقاء طلائع الجيش، وطبقا للإخطار الرسمي، حصل من نادي بيراميدز في ذلك اللقاء على إنذارات الثنائي أحمد توفيق وكريم حافط فقط.

الجدير بالذكر، أن عدد كبير من تطبيقات متابعة المباريات تشير، إلى حصول ماييلي على بطاقة صفراء خلال مباراة بيراميدز وطلائع الجيش يوم الخامس من أبريل الماضي، التي أدارها إبراهيم نور الدين وانتهت بالتعادل السلبي بدون أهداف.
