Leeds United appear to be very active this week after a reliable journalist issued an exciting transfer claim…

What’s the word?

Reports emerged suggesting that the Yorkshire outfit had a £15m offer knocked back for RB Salzburg midfielder Brenden Aaronson, though the club are said to remain keen on signing him this month.

However, it’s not the only player that they have submitted a bid for.

“Victor Orta is being busy and Leeds have also tabled a bid for a second as of yet unidentified player,” revealed the Daily Mirror’s David Anderson to Twitter on Tuesday night.

It remains to be seen who the second player could be as United have been linked to many names in many different positions throughout the last two to three weeks.

Signings soon?

Whilst we may not know who Orta and co are targeting now, the point that they are now looking to conduct business is hugely exciting and encouraging news for the Elland Road faithful.

This window was quickly heading down the same path – a bleak one with no signings, nothing to help manager Marcelo Bielsa and the problems within his squad.

Often, his side have been decimated by injuries and that was epitomised by the fact that he could only name one senior professional on the bench during Sunday’s 3-2 win over West Ham United. That being Rodrigo, who has only just returned from injury himself.

Leeds have long been on the lookout for a midfielder, with the last signing in the role being Adam Forshaw nearly four years ago. It has left the head coach awfully short on options.

With Kalvin Phillips on the treatment table, it is only Forshaw and Mateusz Klich available as clear-cut central midfielders. The likes of Stuart Dallas and Jamie Shackleton, who often play anywhere they are asked to, can fill in but they have largely been utilised at full-back.

It certainly seems as if Orta is trying his best to find solutions, having submitted two offers for two different players this week, and that should leave many supporters buzzing heading into the rest of the window.

With less than two weeks to go, the Yorkshire giants must accelerate plans to get at least one deal over the line.

A decisão entre Flamengo e Independiente na próxima quarta-feira será a terceira do Rubro-Negro na temporada, mas a primeira para o meia Everton Ribeiro. Seis meses após a sua chegada, o camisa 7 falou sobre a emoção e ansiedade de poder conquistar o primeiro título com a camisa do clube.

– Era um objetivo meu (disputar finais e conquistar títulos). Todo mundo me deu muita força e muito apoio. O primeiro objetivo foi alcançado, que era chegar na final, mas agora quero sentir o clima, dar o máximo e conquistar meu primeiro título pelo Flamengo – disse o camisa 7.

Everton mostrou muita confiança em uma boa atuação do Flamengo na próxima quarta-feira no Maracanã, ainda mais por conta do apoio que a torcida rubro-negra vai dar aos seus atletas. Vale lembrar que todos os ingressos já foram vendidos para essa partida.

– Otimismo muito grande, jogamos melhor na primeira partida por um bom tempo, mesmo fora de casa. Em casa a nossa torcida faz diferença, empurra e vamos reverter esse resultado para trazer o título pra gente.

Uma final entre “Brasil x Argentina” sempre é recheada de ingredientes. Antes da bola rolar, o camisa 7 foi perguntado sobre uma possível catimba do rival e afirmou que o melhor a ser feito é não cair na pilha, para reverter o placar.

– Não podemos cair na pilha deles, vamos entrar ligados. A vantagem deles é de um gol, vamos errar menos possível para sair com o título.

Para sair com o título, o Flamengo precisa vencer por dois gols de diferença. Uma vitória pela diferença mínima leva a decisão para a prorrogação e consequentemente aos pênaltis. Por ter vencido por 2 a 1 na Argentina, o Independiente joga pelo empate. Vale lembrar que na final da Copa Sul-Americana, não há o critério de gol fora de casa.

Since Aston Villa’s current owners Wes Edens and Nassef Sawiris took over the Midlands club back in 2018, they have not been reluctant in spending money on bringing new players to Villa Park that can help the team fulfil their ambitions of taking the club into the upper echelons of football.

With this in mind, Villa journalist Gregg Evans has dropped a clue regarding one player that has been mentioned with a move to the Midlands club in the past that could push them closer to being an elite club competing for European football.

What’s the news?

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Evans had this to say about Villa’s interest in Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips.

He said: “Yes they like him, there’s no denying that. Whether there’s even a one per cent chance of getting him is another matter.”

Break their transfer record

As a product of Leeds’ youth academy, Phillips has gone on to make a total of 226 appearances for the Yorkshire club, showing how important he is to the team and why they would presumably want to keep hold of him for as long as possible.

Having ended the previous Premier League season as one of Leeds’ highest-rated players according to WhoScored with an overall performance rating of 7.01/10, it would place him fourth among Villa’s highest-rated players.

Thus, it’s easy to see why the Midlands club have an admiration for the England international and why Villa fans would surely be overjoyed to see him at their club.

As well as being an important figure for Leeds, Phillips has made himself a significant player on the international stage as well. For instance, he was one of the five outfield players that started all seven of England’s Euro 2020 games last summer.

While the likelihood of Phillips eventually making the move to Villa Park is yet to be determined, the Villa fans should be excited by the fact that their club has an interest in Phillips and have a previous record of being very active in the transfer market, like they have been this month with the arrivals of Philippe Coutinho and Lucas Digne.

Looking ahead to the future, with the £60m valued midfielder’s current contract at Elland Road not set to expire until the summer of 2024, it could be a challenge for Villa to secure his signature anytime soon.

It may also be very expensive, potentially causing them to breach their transfer record fee of £33m that they paid for Emi Buendia last summer. Villa haven’t been afraid to splash out of late with the likes of Digne, Ollie Watkins, Leon Bailey and Danny Ings costing north of £25m.

With previous claims suggesting that Gerrard would want to sign a defensive midfielder this month, if they don’t manage to sign one this month, this could increase their need to make a move for Phillips next summer.

Considering his quality, they must do all they can to lure him to the Midlands, including smashing their transfer record.

Aos 17 anos, Brenner deve ter neste domingo, contra o Coritiba, no Paraná, sua primeira chance como titular no time principal do São Paulo. Mas estar livre do rebaixamento no Campeonato Brasileiro e, principalmente, o alto número de desfalques farão com que Dorival Júnior leve outros garotos das categorias de base para Curitiba.

O técnico não poderá contar com Petros, suspenso por ter recebido três cartões amarelos, e dificilmente terá Hernanes, Pratto e Lucas Fernandes, que não participaram de atividades técnicas nesta semana por conta de dores musculares. Para completar, Jonatan Gomez trata de tendinite no joelho esquerdo, Maicosuel sofreu entorse no joelho direito e Marcinho já ficou fora da última rodada por dor na coxa esquerda.

Entre os titulares, além de Brenner na vaga de Pratto, Araruna e Shaylon devem entrar no meio-campo, nos lugares de Petros e Hernanes. Os três foram formados em Cotia. E Cueva retornará ao time, após ficar fora da última partida porque se reapresentou da seleção com atraso. Mas é no banco que devem aparecer ainda mais novidades.

O volante Igor Liziero, por exemplo, de 19 anos, treinou com os profissionais nesta semana e está de sobreaviso para ser relacionado – a lista será divulgada após a atividade deste sábado.Os meio-campistas Guilherme Bissoli, de 19 anos,e Gabriel Sara, de 18, também trabalharam com o time principal nos últimos dias e têm esperança.

Os três têm chances de ficar no banco de reservas ao lado de outro jovem que vem trabalhando com mais frequência no CT da Barra Funda: Paulo Bóia, atacante de 19 anos, já presente entre os suplentes em rodadas anteriores, como no 0 a 0 diante do Botafogo, no último domingo, no Pacaembu.

Na manhã deste sábado, novamente sem a imprensa, o Tricolor encerra os trabalhos para enfrentar o Coritiba, às 17h de domingo, no Paraná. O elenco viaja logo depois do treino. Com 46 pontos, o São Paulo já está livre do rebaixamento e ocupa o 13º lugar do Brasileiro. Precisa vencer os dois próximos jogos e torcer para uma combinação de resultados para ir à Libertadores – está a seis pontos da faixa da tabela que dá vaga na competição

The South African fast bowler has credited his seven-wicket haul in India’s first innings to a ball change just before tea. India lost six wickets for 12 runs after tea, Steyn taking five of them

Cricinfo staff08-Feb-2010

Dale Steyn has credited his seven-wicket haul in India’s first innings to a ball change just before tea. India lost six wickets for 12 runs after tea, Steyn taking five of them.”There was a ball change around tea time [it was actually a couple of overs before tea], the seam had split open…we came back after tea and the ball looped around a bit. It [change of ball] was a good thing,” Steyn said after the day’s play.Asked what was different from conditions in the home series against England, Steyn said: “We have been speaking about these kind of wickets. We wanted to adapt as quickly as possible. We hit the right areas with the same intensity. On some days you can bowl the best of your life and not pick wickets and then you have some days.”The decision to follow on, he said, was taken by captain Graeme Smith after consultation with the bowlers. “There was a huddle after the Indian first innings. The batters came and told us that we were 300-odd runs ahead and asked if the bowlers had enough gas in the tank to go on and bowl another 26-27 overs.”We said we were not finished yet and it would be good to take a couple of wickets in the second innings. We told them we had enough fuel in the tank. We were looking to take a couple of wickets by stumps and then we would come back tomorrow and finish the job.”

O Guarani não conseguiu o sonhado retorno à Série A do Campeonato Brasileiro, mas nem tudo foi de lamentação no clube de Campinas. Além de se garantir na B, com uma rodada de antecedência e jogos emocionantes no fim da competição, destaques individuais podem alçar voos mais altos em 2018. Um deles é o meia-atacante Bruno Nazário.

Aos 22 anos, o jogador foi titular durante toda a campanha do Bugre na Série B e foi apontado como um dos destaques em meio ao momento difícil. Tanto o atleta canhoto entrou no radar de alguns clubes da Série A, que analisam possibilidades para a temporada que vem. Um deles é o Corinthians.

Bruno foi revelado pelo Figueirense e atuou emprestado peloHoffenheim, da Alemanha. Ele tem mais dois anos de contrato com o clube alemão, mas a prioridade é seguir no Brasil em 2018 e disputar a Série A. Em 2016, ele teve uma rápida passagem pelo Cruzeiro.

Em 2017, o meia-atacante disputou 47 jogos pelo Guarani e marcou sete gols. Ele também teve uma participação importante na criação de gols, com assistências.

At the end of a batsman’s career, history rates them by how many hundreds they have scored for their country, but for Paul Collingwood there should be an extra column. How many Tests he has saved for England

Andrew McGlashan in Johannesburg12-Jan-2010

At the end of a batsman’s career, history rates them by how many hundreds they have scored for their country, but for Paul Collingwood there should be an extra column. How many Tests he has saved for England. In the last eight months he has played a major role in three great escapes with backs-to-the-wall efforts at Cardiff, Centurion and most recently Cape Town.In the first Test against South Africa he made 26 off 99 balls to ensure England’s late jitters didn’t cost them the match, but his 188-ball 40 at Cape Town was on a whole new level. The team were five down before the second ball was taken and the result looked a foregone conclusion.But somehow Collingwood survived a withering new-ball burst from Dale Steyn and defied South Africa until into the final hour. There was another late wobble – it really wouldn’t be England without one – but his five-hour partnership with Ian Bell meant the visitors hold a 1-0 lead heading into the final Test at the Wanderers. Collingwood has nine Test centuries, and made 91 at Durban in this series, but his match-saving efforts are what he savours.”They are right up there if I’m honest,” he said. “Centurion was a very satisfying innings but for some reason last week at Cape Town – we were five down pretty early and backs against the wall – I always had the belief we could do it. It was such an important game for us.”It’s very hard to measure those kinds of innings because it’s not about runs. It’s about the time you spend in the middle, the attitude you show to the other players that we can do it. In many ways I always think they are worth a hundred, but because you haven’t got the runs it doesn’t come across that way. To get across the line like we have done in this series it’s a big achievement.”Right from the beginning of his Test career Collingwood has shown the ability to fight it out when the going is at its toughest. When he was recalled to face Australia, at The Oval, in 2005 he played a vital role on the final afternoon alongside Kevin Pietersen’s thrilling 158. Collingwood only made 10, but used up 51 balls in a stand of 60 that extended England’s precious lead.”Those are the situations I do really, really enjoy,” he said. “I like – not upsetting the opposition – but just going out there and doing things that are not easy to do. I know I must bore people at times. But it’s a job I enjoy doing, and I hope there are more of those kind of innings in the future.”I am a fighter. I always have been, since growing up with my brother, from my early teens. I’m sure I’ll keep that kind of fighting spirit all the way through my career.”Given Collingwood’s history of rescuing his country, the Cape Town effort didn’t come as a huge surprise, unlike that of his main partner, Bell, who set a new benchmark for his career with a 213-ball 78. Collingwood believes it can be a turning point for Bell, who has often been criticised for making easy runs when the going is good.”At Durban he played a fantastic innings, he timed the ball well, he scored elegantly, but I’m sure he’s come off the other day and thought that’s probably worth more runs than he scored at Durban,” Collingwood said. “That was a fantastic knock from him. From being under pressure a couple of games ago to turn that around and to show he as the mental strength to see out a day will certainly give him a lot for the future.”The South Africans acknowledge the role Collingwood has played in this series. “He has shown the quality player he is and his experience has come into play,” Jacques Kallis said. “Perhaps he’s not the prettiest player in the world, but you’d rather take the guys who are ugly and get the runs than pretty players who don’t always produce the goods.”Those fighting qualities could well come the fore again this week as England aim to secure a memorable series triumph. With South Africa having no option but to attack for victory all the talk is of a lively pitch although that doesn’t concern Collingwood.”Let’s be honest they’re not going to produce a flat, flat wicket where it’s going to turn out to be a draw,” he said. “South Africa are in a position where they need a win and to do that, they’ve got to gamble a little bit.”This wicket does tend to go through a lot more anyway and you get a bit more bounce here. Then if they leave a bit more grass on, it will obviously seam around a bit. It could be a difficult week for the batsmen. But it’s all about adjusting to conditions. Whatever we come up against, it’s the same for both sides. The team that adapts best will win.”So far in this series it is England who have adapted best to the challenges that have faced them and in no small part that has been down to Collingwood. For England’s born fighter there’s one round to go.
