Frank green lights Tottenham move for "sensational" £55m star, contact made

da betway: Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has now approved a move for a “sensational” £55m attacker, and contact was made earlier this week, according to a report.

Spurs keen on new attacking midfielder after Maddison blow

da doce: A matter of days before the UEFA Super Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain, Tottenham have been dealt a major injury blow, with it being revealed that James Maddison is set to undergo surgery, after rupturing his ACL in the friendly against Newcastle United.

Frank has since admitted that Maddison will be a real loss for his side next season, saying: “I think it’s disappointing but also devastating for me and mainly for Madders that he’s out of the team. We will miss him and no doubt he will miss playing football.”

Even prior to the England international picking up a long-term injury, the Lilywhites had been chasing a new attacking midfielder, having failed to bring in Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White earlier in the transfer window.

Maddison’s injury blow will only exacerbate the need for Frank to bring in a new attacking midfielder, and a report from GiveMeSport has now revealed the manager has approved a move for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze.

Indeed, the Dane is said to have given a move for Eze the green light, and there is a belief that enquiries were made earlier this week, with Tottenham looking to hijack north London rivals Arsenal, who have also been expected to make a move.

However, the Gunners are having doubts over whether the 27-year-old would be a suitable addition to the squad, potentially opening the door for a move to Spurs, with Frank in need of replacements for both Maddison and Son Heung-min.

"Sensational" Eze could be coup for Tottenham

Even the most ardent Tottenham fan would have to admit that Arsenal are better-placed to compete for top players at present, which means it could be a major coup if they were to hijack their rivals, amid the uncertainty as to whether he’d be suited to Mikel Arteta’s squad.

A deal would not be cheap, with it being revealed the attacking midfielder’s current employers could ask for £55m, but there are clear signs he could be entering the prime of his career, after performing very well for the Eagles last season.

Most notably, the Greenwich-born attacker scored the winning goal in the FA Cup final, while also amassing 16 goal contributions in the Premier League, and Rory Jennings believes he would be an ideal addition to Frank’s squad.

With Maddison likely to have an extended period on the treatment table, it is now absolutely vital that Tottenham bring in a new attacking midfielder this summer, and Eze’s performances last season suggest he could be a fantastic signing.

Atlético-MG busca reforços específicos no setor ofensivo para o ano de 2024; veja o panorama

MatériaMais Notícias

da realbet: O Atlético-MG concentra suas atenções no mercado de transferências para fortalecer o elenco em 2024, com ênfase no setor ofensivo. Esta estratégia decorre das renovações contratuais e da consolidação defensiva já realizadas durante a temporada de 2023.

Agora, a atenção se volta para a parte ofensiva. O Atlético-MG planeja reforçar o ataque e a armação no mercado, com foco em contratações específicas, segundo o GE. O clube, que recebeu investimentos da SAF em novembro, prioriza inicialmente a redução de dívidas, seguindo-se o investimento no futebol.

O presidente reeleito do Atlético, Sérgio Coelho, declarou em entrevista coletiva que o investimento destinado ao futebol seria de R$ 400 milhões. É crucial ressaltar que esse montante não abrange exclusivamente as contratações, mas engloba todos os gastos relacionados ao departamento de futebol como um todo.

➡️Sérgio Coelho é reeleito presidente do Atlético-MG por mais três anos

Um dos jogadores que despertou interesse da diretoria, porém enfrenta desafios na negociação com o Fulham, da Inglaterra, é Rodrigo Muniz. As dificuldades residem nos valores solicitados pelo clube inglês para liberar o atacante. Atualmente, a cúpula do Atlético-MG considera que esta negociação é bastante complexa e já está avaliando outras opções de nomes.

O Atlético-MG também iniciou negociações para contar com o meia Gustavo Scarpa. Embora as conversas tenham esfriado em algum momento, foram posteriormente retomadas. Uma fonte afirmou nesta terça-feira que o clube está “batalhando pelo jogador”. A situação atual demanda a busca por um acordo com o clube inglês.

Ambos, Rodrigo Muniz e Gustavo Scarpa, permanecem como alvos do Atlético-MG para 2024. A expectativa é de dois ou três reforços, no máximo, durante esse período. Com a expressiva atuação no segundo turno e a permanência de Felipão como técnico, somadas às renovações contratuais, prevê-se que haja poucas alterações no elenco.

– Acho que a gente definiu muita coisa já, antes de terminar o ano. Definimos muita coisa. Eu te cito quantos que nós já renovamos: Battaglia, Fuchs, Lemos, Saravia, vários deles. Então, nós já definimos o nosso elenco, que vamos fazer pequenos ajustes, ponto – avaliou Rodrigo Caetano.

Their new Gareth Bale: Spurs submit opening bid to sign £50m star

da dobrowin: They might not have an awful lot to show for it, but Tottenham Hotspur have been blessed with an abundance of talented superstars over the years.

da betcris: The two players who’ll likely stand out in the minds of fans today are probably Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.

However, as talented as both of them are and for everything they did for Spurs, particularly in the case of the latter, we reckon the best player to have played for the club over the last two decades was Gareth Bale.

Gareth Bale.

At his peak, the Welshman was utterly unplayable, and while he enjoyed most of his success away from the Premier League, he still managed to score 71 goals and provide 53 assists in 237 appearances for the Lilywhites.

Spurs could do with a player of his ability in their current squad, making reports linking them to someone who could develop into another Bale particularly exciting.

Spurs target their new Bale

There are still a few weeks until the transfer window slams shut, and while it’s not been perfect, it would be fair to say Spurs haven’t had a bad summer thus far.

Transfer Focus

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

They might’ve missed out on Morgan Gibbs-White, but Daniel Levy and Co completed the statement signing of Mohammed Kudus early on, and on top of making Mathys Tel’s move permanent, added another exciting youngster into the mix in Kota Takai.

However, the North Londoners are not done yet, as they now appear to be going after a Premier League ace who could develop into their new Bale.

At least that’s according to a recent report from transfers expert Fabrizio Romano, who has reaffirmed that Spurs are very interested in Savinho.

The Italian journalist goes further than that, though, revealing that the Lilywhites have already made an offer of around €50m – £43m – for the Brazilian, although Manchester City quickly rejected it.

According to other reports, the Citizens would accept a fee of around £50m, and while that’s undoubtedly a lot of money, Savinho could well end up being worth it in the long run, especially as he could be another Bale.

Why Savinho could be Spurs' new Bale

Okay, so before the pitchforks and torches come out, we are not for one second suggesting that Savinho is already at the level that Bale reached at his zenith at Spurs, not even close.

However, there is every chance that the Brazilian could end up having a similar career with the North Londoners, especially when you take into consideration the fact that the Welshman wasn’t exactly a hit from the word go during his time with the club.

One of the key similarities between the players is that they’re both left-footed wide players, and while the City gem spends plenty of time out on the right, he’s also more than capable of playing on the left.

Another key overlap is in how their style, as during his time in North London, the multiple Champions League winner was known for his brilliant ability to beat opposition players with the ball at his feet, either through a burst of pace, or some trickery.

This is something the “unbelievable” 21-year-old, as dubbed by Pep Guardiola, is also capable of doing, and his underlying metrics prove it.

According to FBref, he sits in the 1% of attacking midfielders and wingers in Europe’s top five leagues for total and progressive carrying distance, the top 4% for carries into the penalty area, the top 5% for shot-creating actions from take-ons, the top 6% for successful take-ons and more, all per 90.

These numbers make it abundantly clear that, like the Wales legend, the São Mateus-born ace is world-class at getting the ball into dangerous areas.

Moreover, while he might not have the goal-scoring numbers just yet, his strike against Juventus in the Club World Cup proves he is capable of producing a wondergoal.

Ultimately, Bale is one of the greatest players to have represented Spurs in the modern era, and while he won’t be at that level right away, Savinho looks like he could become as crucial for Frank and Co.

Fahima-Ferdus' achievement 'is inspiring for the team', says captain Sultana

“I felt that I would pick up three wickets today – I felt I had more wicket-taking options,” Fahima Khatun says

ESPNcricinfo staff10-Apr-2025

Jannatul Ferdus returned remarkable figures of 5-3-7-5•International Cricket Council

Nigar Sultana scored an 80-ball 101. Bangladesh put up their highest score in ODIs – 271. They then bowled Thailand out for 93 to record their biggest win in terms of runs in the format – 178. The most remarkable event in the win in the World Cup qualifying match in Lahore, though, was Fahima Khatun and Jannatul Ferdus, the spin twins, picking up five wickets each, the first time it has happened in women’s ODI cricket.In fact, it’s the second such occurrence in all ODI cricket – Greg Chappell and Gary Cosier had done it for Australia against England in Birmingham in 1977.”Such a record, where two bowlers pick up five-wicket hauls in an innings, is a remarkable achievement,” Sultana said in a video released by the BCB. “Their contribution today is inspiring for the team. I am hoping they continue to do similar things in the rest of the games.”Related

Sultana ton and Fahima, Ferdus five-fors give Bangladesh big win

In another BCB video, where legspinner Fahima, who took 5 for 21 in 8.5 overs, and Ferdus, the offspinner who returned 5 for 7 in five overs, chat with each other, Fahima said, “Of course it’s reason to be very happy. I have had the opportunity to do this before, pick up five wickets in an innings, but I haven’t been able to do it, so this is very pleasing.”I must say that the end I was bowling from, when I started bowling, I felt that I would pick up three wickets today. I felt I had more wicket-taking options. Fortunately, it worked out.”In an ODI career that’s worth 45 matches now, Fahima had two three-wicket hauls but never a five-for. In T20Is, she has one four-for. For Ferdus, playing just her third ODI and seventh game for Bangladesh overall, it was well beyond anything she had achieved – the five wickets took her tally to eight, across formats.”This is the first time I have picked up five wickets for Bangladesh,” Ferdus said. “Of course, it’s very special. The first time is something to remember for the rest of my life. It will be a wonderful memory. I started bowling late in this game, so I didn’t think there was any opportunity to pick up five wickets. But I was trying to maintain the process, and fortunately it worked out.”Fahima had three wickets to her name – and figures of 5-1-8-3 – when Ferdus came on to bowl in the 20th over of Thailand’s chase. Ferdus’ first over was a double-wicket maiden. Fahima came back soon enough, and they had four wickets each soon after. Ferdus got to her milestone first, and Fahima got there when she finished off the match.”At what point did you feel you could pick up five wickets?” Fahima, the senior pro, asked Ferdus.”The thought had never crossed my mind. I was trying to follow the plan of bowling wicket to wicket. And, fortunately, I was successful,” Ferdus replied.The achievement of the two spinners overshadowed, somewhat at least, a remarkable innings from Sultana, the Bangladesh captain, where she walked out in the 28th over, but still managed to get to the three-figure mark. Sharmin Akhter, the No. 3 batter who was part of two century partnerships, ended on 94 not out, while Fargana Hoque, the opener, scored 53.”It’s our first win of the tournament, and I am very happy to have contributed to it,” Sultana said. “It’s my first century in ODI cricket, but there was no such target in my mind. The target was to take the team score to 250-plus. So, when [Hoque and [Sharmin] were batting, I felt that when I go out, I should also score at a good strike rate and score quickly. So that the batters to follow are in a position to take Bangladesh past 250. There was the opportunity, we grabbed it, so we got a good total.”The margin of victory has put Bangladesh at the top of the points table after all teams have played a match each. They next play Ireland on Sunday.

منها بيلينجهام.. 3 أسباب تفتح باب إقالة أنشيلوتي في ريال مدريد

يزداد الوضع سوءًا داخل نادي ريال مدريد كلما استمر الأداء والنتائج بتلك الصورة سواء في الدوري الإسباني أو دوري أبطال أوروبا تحت قيادة المدرب، كارلو أنشيلوتي.

خسارة ميلان أمس فجرت الكثير من بركان الغضب داخل ريال مدريد، خاصة داخل الإدارة لأنها الثانية على ملعب “سانتياجو برنابيو” بعد الكلاسيكو أمام برشلونة.

مستوى ريال مدريد مقلق للغاية وأصابع الاتهام تتوجه نحو المدرب أنشيلوتي بحسب شبكة “Relevo” الإسبانية التي تؤكد أن صبر الإدارة بدأ ينفذ.

هناك 3 أسباب تجعل الإدارة تشعر بالقلق أولها أن أنشيلوتي غير قادر على إيجاد الحلول والتشكيل المناسب للاعتماد عليه في المباريات سواء 4-3-3 أو 4-4-2.

السبب الثاني هو وضع جود بيلينجهام مع الفريق مجهول، فهو أكبر الخاسرين من تجارب المدرب الإيطالي في الموسم الحالي ولم يعد له دورًا هجوميًا مثل الموسم الماضي.

الأمر الثالث هو عدم إعطاء الفرصة لبعض اللاعبين الشباب مثل إندريك وأردا جولر حتى مع سوء النتائج رغم أنهما قدما مستويات فنية رائعة.

كل هذه الأسباب جعلت إدارة ريال مدريد تفكر في إقالة أنشيلوتي بمنتصف الموسم رغم أن الخطة لم تكن كذلك والأمر قد يكون رسميًا إذا لم يحقق الفوز في المباريات القليلة المقبلة.

Spurs breakthrough and agree £26m deal to sign star "as soon as possible"

da marjack bet: After landing an early blow on North London rivals Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur’s week could reportedly get even better after a breakthrough in talks to sign a new midfield enforcer.

Tottenham seal pre-season derby victory

da supremo: It may have been a pre-season game that took place many miles away from North London and one that featured a number of changes on the pitch, but Tottenham would have still enjoyed their victory over Arsenal. Coming courtesy of Pape Matar Sarr’s lobbed effort after David Raya and the Gunners’ midfield combined for a rare mistake, Thomas Frank has taken a big step towards getting fans onside.

Defeating direct rivals two weeks out from the start of the season is enough to hand any side a boost, but Frank will particularly appreciate it at the start of his tenure.

​​​​​​​Now, his focus will be on ensuring that his side are ready to take such a victory into when it matters. And to help on that front, Spurs could yet turn back towards the transfer market.

On that front, the North London club have already signed Mohammed Kudus and Mathys Tel on a permanent deal, but still have around a month to get any other deals over the line.

Just who arrives is the big question, however. With Heung-min Son potentially on his way to LAFC, Spurs will need to find a replacement for their captain and the goals that he provides.

It looked as though Yoane Wissa could be an option earlier in the window, before Newcastle United emerged as frontrunners and then Brentford blocked his exit altogether. Whether Spurs or Newcastle return to question that stance remains to be seen.

Instead, the Lilywhites have seemingly turned their focus towards reinforcing their midfield with a player already familiar with the Premier League.

Tottenham agree £26m total package for Palhinha

According to Sky Sports’ Florian Plettenberg, Tottenham have now fully agreed the details on Joao Palhinha’s loan move from Bayern Munich, which will cost around £26m if they decide to make it permanent, with just over £4m of that guaranteed spend as the loan fee. The Portugal international will undergo a medical and sign “as soon as possible”.

Although things haven’t quite worked out in Germany, it wasn’t so long ago that Palhinha was starring for Fulham in England’s top flight and a swift return could result in a return to his best form.

Full of praise for his midfielder, Fulham boss Marco Silva described Palhinha as “great” in 2022, before he eventually earned a move to Bayern Munich. Now on the way to one of his London rivals, Silva will have to watch on as the defensive midfielder adds some much needed bite at Tottenham.
