Noble’s a fan: West Ham now showing keen interest in “explosive midfielder”

by hc12369.com Uncategorized

West Ham United are now showing considerable interest in signing an “explosive midfielder”, with sporting director Mark Noble personally an admirer.

Hammers looking to sign midfielder to replace Rodriguez

West Ham are determined to get Guido Rodriguez off the books at the earliest opportunity, with the midfielder clearly failing to impress both Graham Potter and Nuno in the Premier League this season, having made just five appearances.

Should the Hammers manage to offload Rodriguez, there may be space to bring in another central midfielder, and Ray Parlour has suggested an Aston Villa star could be exactly what they need, saying: “John McGinn again, another good performance from John. You know what you’re going to get from John every week. People must look at John McGinn and get a buzz because he always gives 100 per cent.

“He’s got quality as well, there’s no doubt about that, but the desire to play is fantastic. You need John McGinn at West Ham at the moment, he’d get people going there.”

With Villa still in the title race and the Hammers four points adrift of safety, however, the Irons have started to identify some more realistic targets, and they are now in the picture to sign Zulte Waregem midfielder Tochukwu Nnadi.

That is according to reports from Belgium (via Sport Witness), which state West Ham are now showing considerable interest in signing Nnadi, and a January deal could be possible, as his current employers are working on bringing in a replacement.

The Belgian club appear to be willing to sell the Nigerian, who is currently at AFCON, which may be exciting news for Noble, as the sporting director has already made it clear he is a fan, having recommended the signing of the central midfielder last month.

It is clear the Hammers need to strengthen before the end of January, given that relegation is starting to look increasingly likely, most recently failing to bridge the gap to Nottingham Forest by losing 3-0 against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.

There are some indications the Zulte Waregem maestro could be an exciting addition, having received high praise from former manager Tom Caluwé, who said: “He is a strong and explosive midfielder who combines technique with a huge work ethic.”

However, the 22-year-old is still inexperienced, having only played in Bulgaria and Belgium to date, so it would be a gamble for West Ham to sign the former Botev Plovdiv man in an attempt to save their season.

Not only that, but with West Ham shipping 41 Premier League goals this season, the highest number of any side, signing a new defender should be the priority this month, and there has been a new update on their pursuit of Toulouse defender Charlie Cresswell…

West Ham offered former Tottenham star who had a ‘good relationship’ with Nuno

by hc12369.com Uncategorized

West Ham’s frantic transfer activity across the opening days of the January window has resulted in them completing two striker signings already, but they may not be finished there.

Nuno Espirito Santo has received unprecedented backing from the board, with the relegation-threatened Hammers confirming Brazilian striker Pablo Felipe’s arrival from Gil Vicente for £20 million.

The 22-year-old, who scored 10 goals in just 13 Primeira Liga appearances this season, was swiftly followed by Lazio forward Valentin Castellanos after Nuno’s side also struck a deal to sign the Argentine.

As announced by the club, Pablo was also signed in time to be available for today’s crucial trip to Wolves, pending Nuno’s selection.

The deal represents a club-record sale for Gil Vicente and was accelerated through super-agent Jorge Mendes’ involvement, who holds a stake in the player and crucially represents Nuno himself.

Pablo promised supporters he would “leave every last drop of sweat on the pitch” while acknowledging his youth but vowing to prove his worth.

Castellanos, meanwhile, endured a difficult campaign under Maurizio Sarri with just two goals from 12 Serie A appearances, though he netted 14 across all competitions last season.

New York City FC will receive either 10 or 15 percent of the fee depending on conflicting reports, leaving Lazio pocketing approximately £21 million.

The quick-fire dual signings underline the urgency surrounding their situation.

Saturday’s Molineux showdown against fellow strugglers Wolves takes on enormous significance, with the West Ham board still working to back Nuno with more January signings.

West Ham offered former Tottenham forward Steven Bergwijn

Widespread reports have indicated in the build up to January that West Ham were set to sign Adama Traore too, but according to insider ExWHUemployee, there’s been a twist to the tale.

Fulham are believed to be making West Ham’s life far more difficult than initially anticipated when it comes to a deal for the Spaniard, with an alternative now emerging in the form of ex-Tottenham winger Steven Bergwijn.

The 28-year-old, who’s bagged 21 goals and 10 assists in 45 total appearances for Al-Ittihad, is rumoured to be earning around £154,000-per-week in the Gulf, which would make him West Ham’s highest-paid player.

Umar blitz sets up Pakistan victory

by hc12369.com Uncategorized


Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsUmar Akmal’s 64 set up Pakistan’s win•Getty Images

It can’t bring back the World Twenty20 trophy, but Pakistan extracted some sort of revenge on Australia in their first meeting since the semi-final in St Lucia. Again, a vigorous Umar Akmal half-century set up Pakistan’s innings but this time their bowlers, led by Mohammad Aamer, did enough to strangle Australia’s run-rate and deny Michael Clarke’s men, who couldn’t chase down 168.In May, it took something special from Michael Hussey to drive Australia into the decider against England, as he monstered the 18 needed off the last over, bowled by Saeed Ajmal. This time, Ajmal fittingly collected the final wicket and was mobbed by his team-mates as Australia fell to a 23-run defeat, their first loss to Pakistan in any format in their past 13 meetings.Umar set up the victory with the fastest Twenty20 international half-century by a Pakistan player, a 21-ball effort that brought the thousands of Pakistan fans at Edgbaston to their feet. Their 167 for 8 looked competitive but gettable, and when David Warner scythed five boundaries from Shoaib Akhtar’s first five balls, Australia appeared to be in charge.But once the field went back, and Shahid Afridi and Umar Gul came on, the runs dried up. Gul delivered yorker after yorker, and Afridi altered his pace and angle to keep Warner and David Hussey guessing during their 52-run stand. Hussey had 34 from 28 balls when he skied Afridi to mid-on, and Warner followed in the next over.Warner’s 41 from 31 was more restrained than his usual Twenty20 efforts, with the attack on Akhtar his only period of dominance. Ajmal, the unlucky man asked to bowl the final over in St Lucia, deceived Warner with a ball that went straight on, beat the bat and crashed into the stumps. That brought Michael Hussey to the crease, but there were no heroics this time.The Australians needed some top-order support for Warner; instead, Michael Clarke’s dismal Twenty20 batting record continued. He was caught for 5, trying to force Abdul Razzaq through cover and it is now eight innings since he has scored better than a run a ball in a Twenty20 for his country.Aamer (3 for 27) began the strong bowling effort by trapping Shane Watson lbw in the first over of the chase, before he returned to snare the key wickets of Cameron White and Steven Smith. With every wicket the Pakistan fans roared and blasted on their air horns, just as they had during Umar’s batting blitz.The highlight of his 64 was a pair of sixes straight down the ground off Smith, but his ability to the find the gaps and invent ways of scoring was remarkable. It takes a brave man to paddle sweep a Dirk Nannes full toss off middle stump, but Umar made it look like the most logical selection of stroke and ran the ball to the fine-leg boundary.He departed in the 19th over, bowled by Shaun Tait, but by then he’d done enough. Umar was the star, but he had good support from Shoaib Malik in a 51-run stand that included 20 off one over, as Malik launched a stinging attack on David Hussey’s offspin.Malik was out in unusual fashion when he edged a slow bouncer behind off Nannes and the batsmen took a cheeky single, only for replays to show that Tim Paine had completed the catch diving forward. Pakistan looked like they might not even bat out their overs after they stumbled to 47 for 4 in the eighth over.Umar’s recovery won Pakistan the game, and earned him the Man-of-the-Match award. There was no world trophy on offer, but the win will give Pakistan confidence ahead of their long tour of England. And a confident Pakistan is a dangerous Pakistan.

Rangers predicted XI vs Borussia Dortmund

by h79snht.top Uncategorized

Rangers will be looking to make their way through to the next round of the UEFA Europa League as they return to action at Ibrox tonight.

Gio van Bronckhorst’s side head into their second-leg clash with Borussia Dortmund with a two-goal lead after beating the German outfit 4-2 away from home last week.

The Gers come into this game off the back of a disappointing result against Dundee United. They were held to a 1-1 draw in the Premiership and the Dutch head coach could look to freshen his side up.

How many changes will he make to the team? Here is our predicted XI…

We are predicting that he will make three alterations to the side, with Fashion Sakala, Leon Balogun and Glen Kamara all coming in.

Filip Helander will be taken out of the XI as he has not been registered to play in Europe. He made his first Premiership start after returning from injury at the weekend and looked as rusty as you would expect a player to be after so long out of action. The defender was caught out for the opening goal and made a few clumsy mistakes throughout.

Van Bronckhorst will now have to replace him and could go with Nigeria international Balogun alongside Connor Goldson. The centre-back has confirmed that he is available for selection and has been a machine in the Europa League this season, averaging a sublime SofaSsore rating of 7.25.

FFC published an article explaining why Sakala should be unleashed from the start. He has the pace to cause problems on the counter and that could result in £16k-per-week dud Scott Arfield being axed after a couple of disappointing displays in recent games.

Finally, Kamara could come in for Sunday’s goalscorer Joe Aribo in what may come across as a surprising change. Rangers have a two-goal lead to protect at home and there is no need for them to come flying out of the blocks to extend their advantage, with Dortmund now chasing the game from kick-off.

It could benefit the Gers to start off with a more defensive midfield three and look to hit on the counter with the pace of Kent and Sakala out wide. Kamara can sit just behind Ryan Jack and John Lundstram and provide a screen for the back four, instead of having Aribo in the number 10 role to facilitate attacks.

The ex-Charlton man could then be brought on in the second half to boost the forward line if Dortmund pull themselves back into the match and van Bronckhorst’s side need an injection of quality on the ball.

Kilman backed to sign new Wolves deal

by h79snht.top Uncategorized

Wolves centre-back Max Kilman could sign a new-and-improved deal with the club at the end of the season, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

The Lowdown: Kilman excelling this season

Bruno Lage’s side have largely impressed this season despite a dip in recent weeks, with numerous players shining throughout the team.

Kilman has surely been one of Wolves’ strongest performers, starting 27 Premier League games and being described as ‘outstanding’ by team-mate Conor Coady.

While the 24-year-old’s current deal doesn’t expire until the summer of 2026, it could be that he signs another contract in the near future.

The Latest: New deal in the offing?

Speaking to GiveMeSport, O’Rourke claimed that Kilman could become one of Wolves’ highest earners following his dominant displays at the back.

The journalist said: “I’m sure there will be contract talks, maybe in the summer, just to improve his terms and bring him more in line with the other top earners at Molineux. It would show his reward for the progress that he’s made for the club as well.”

[freshpress-quiz id=“388797″]

The Verdict: Makes complete sense

Kilman has shown this season that he deserves to be recognised as one of the most important players at Molineux, averaging 3.4 clearances per game in the league and enjoying a 95.7% pass completion rate in the Carabao Cup.

Signing a new deal will also put Wolves in a strong bargaining position moving forward, should there be interest from one of the top clubs in the country. Indeed, talkSPORT reported last month that Chelsea have been considering a move for the 24-year-old, a boyhood fan of the Champions League holders.

The hope is that Kilman remains at Molineux for many years to come, but if he is to move on, it is imperative that the club receive an appropriate transfer fee which can then be put towards top-quality signings.

West Ham: Ornstein drops Bowen update

by h79snht.top Uncategorized

West Ham United have been dealt a major injury blow regarding Jarrod Bowen ahead of their upcoming Europa League fixture.

What’s the latest?

That’s according to David Ornstein’s recent report for The Athletic, in which the journalist revealed that, after picking up a heel injury in the 1-0 defeat to Liverpool last weekend, the right-winger now looks set to miss out on Thursday evening’s trip to Sevilla for the first leg of their Europa League round of 16 clash, as well as the weekend’s fixture against Aston Villa.

Regarding the 25-year-old’s knock, Ornstein writes: “David Moyes’ side could be without him for a handful of games after the 25-year-old picked up a heel injury in the defeat at Liverpool. Although the club yesterday confirmed that he had suffered no significant damage, this week’s Europa League trip to Sevilla and the weekend’s home game against Aston Villa are likely to come too soon.”

Hammers will be seething

Considering just how impressive Bowen has been for West Ham in the current campaign, the news that the winger now looks as if he will be unavailable for what is undoubtedly the club’s biggest game of the season is sure to have left the London Stadium faithful seething.

Indeed, over his 28 Premier League appearances this term, the £58m-rated forward has been in spectacular form for the Hammers, scoring eight goals, registering eight assists and creating eight big chances for his teammates, as well as taking an average of 2.4 shots and making 1.3 key passes per game.

These returns have seen the £96k-per-week attacker average an extremely admirable SofaScore match rating of 7.09, ranking him as David Moyes’ second-best performer in the top flight of English football.

As such, with a trip to the side who currently occupy second place in the LaLiga table already having been something of a daunting task, the fact that the Irons will now have to face Julen Lopetegui’s outfit without both their leading goalscorer and assist-maker in all competitions this season is sure to put a major dent in West Ham’s chances of securing a positive result at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.

Indeed, the unavailability of Bowen not only comes as a huge blow to the Hammers’ hopes of progressing to the next round of the competition, but it also shines further light on the club’s failure to bring in attacking reinforcements in the January transfer window.

Aston Villa dealt Lucas Digne injury blow

by h79snht.top Uncategorized

Aston Villa fell to a 2-1 defeat yesterday against West Ham United thanks to goals from Andriy Yarmolenko and Pablo Fornals after winning their three previous league games prior to the clash at the London Stadium.

What’s the latest?

As well as the disappointing result, the Midlands club were handed a potentially major injury blow during the match after left-back Lucas Digne was forced off the pitch with just ten minutes on the clock with a suspected injury.

In a Twitter post from Villa journalist Ashley Preece after Sunday’s clash, he revealed that the French defender is apparently set to “have an MRI scan to determine severity of his hamstring injury.”

Gerrard gutted

Since arriving at Villa Park back in the previous January transfer window from fellow Premier League side Everton in a deal worth a reported fee of £25m, the left-back has immediately made himself a key player for Steven Gerrard by appearing in all but one of the nine league games the Villans have played.

In the eight league games he’s played in for his new club, the defender has managed to rack up a higher average of crosses per game (1.3) than any other Villa player, highlighting just what he’s capable of offering Gerrard’s side and what they will be missing if his hamstring injury keeps him out of action for a significant period of time.

In addition to this, the 28-year-old has also picked up an average of 1.4 key passes per game, the joint-second highest alongside Emi Buendia and John McGinn, showing just how much of an attacking threat he is as well as his crosses, meaning that the Villans will not only have to deal with having a defensive option out of action but also someone that can be an attacking threat for the team.

With all of this in mind, it would be safe to suggest that the 41-year-old Villa boss will be gutted if the results of Digne’s MRI scan come back with a negative diagnosis and the full-back could be facing some time on the sidelines while his team look to secure a top-half finish in the league table.

Looking ahead, having replaced the former Toffees star at the London Stadium on Sunday, Ashley Young could be in for a run in the team if Digne isn’t likely to be back on the pitch anytime soon.

Spurs: John Wenham slams Sergio Reguilon

by h79snht.top Uncategorized

Tottenham Hotspur source John Wenham has slammed Sergio Reguilon after the Spaniard’s display in Sunday’s 3-1 win against West Ham.

The Lowdown: Reguilon’s performance

The 25-year-old played 88 minutes at the weekend, but in spite of a reasonably decent 7.1 SofaScore rating, he failed to produce a single accurate cross or successful dribble attempt from a left wing-back position. He also had two big chances to try and test Lukasz Fabianski, but he failed to hit the target with either of them.

This added to a list of wasted chances in recent weeks, including those from the games against Brighton and Manchester United in recent weeks.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/tottenham-latest-news-2/” title=”Tottenham latest news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Latest: Wenham’s verdict

N17 ‘insider’ Wenham claimed that, despite a number of poor performances recently, Reguilon’s display against West Ham was the worst of all.

Speaking with Football Insider about the Spurs defender, he fumed: “He’s so average it’s untrue.

“I always go back to these constant rumours about Barcelona or Real Madrid being interested in him. There’s always stuff about them paying a premium for him, it’s nonsense.

“He’s just not that good. He’s the best of the full-backs we have but that’s not really praise at this point. Against Man United, he didn’t offer anything, against West Ham was the same.

“For me, he is the worst of the bunch. He wasted so many chances against West Ham. You can absolutely see why Conte kept playing Sessegnon over him until he got injured.

“He wastes so many good crossing opportunities. He was very, very poor yesterday. It’s probably his worst game for Tottenham.”

The Verdict: Damning verdict by Wenham

Wenham’s damning verdict suggests that Antonio Conte is not playing Reguilon out of choice, but is instead being forced into the starting XI due to Ryan Sessegnon’s hamstring injury. This rendered the 21-year-old out of action for Spurs’ last four games, and with an unknown return date for the ex-Fulham starlet, it appears that Reguilon is going to receive more game-time over the remainder of the season.

Whilst Wenham claimed that the Spaniard is “the worst of the bunch”, this is arguably an unfair assertion. According to WhoScored, the 25-year-old has been Tottenham’s fifth-best player this season, so perhaps the £68,000-per-week defender is merely in a momentary rut and could come good again during the final weeks of the campaign.

Tottenham: Alasdair Gold makes Gareth Bale claim

by h79snht.top Uncategorized

Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold has made a claim over the possibility of Gareth Bale returning to north London in the summer.

The Lowdown: Pre-contract reports

Bale spent last season on loan at Spurs, scoring 16 goals in 34 appearances. He returned to Real Madrid over the summer, where he has once again been surplus to requirements, despite Carlo Ancelotti taking over at the Bernabeu.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/tottenham-latest-news-copy/” title=”Tottenham latest developments!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The 32-year-old has played just 270 minutes of La Liga action this season, with reports last month claiming Tottenham have already reached a pre-contract agreement with Bale when he becomes a free agent in July.

The Latest: Gold’s comments

Gold ran a Q&A on football.london on Thursday lunchtime and was asked by one Spurs supporter about the possibility of Bale making a return under Antonio Conte next season.

This is what he had to say, admitting he was ‘intrigued’ over Bale’s next move.

“As much as I’d like to see Gareth Bale have a last hurrah in front of full crowds at Spurs I just can’t see how he fits Conte’s team with the workrate and pressing required for an older player with his injury nightmares of recent seasons.

“I’m as intrigued as anyone to see what the Welshman does next.”

The Verdict: Look elsewhere?

Bale once again showcased his world-class talent for Wales on Thursday, scoring twice to help his country take a step closer to the World Cup later this year.

However, going off his injury issues in recent years, along with Conte’s physical demands, it could be a wise move to avoid a reunion with Bale.

He may not be able to cope with the Italian’s methods and would be on a big wage, so going after a younger more central attacker to rival Harry Kane looks to be the smarter option.

Newcastle: McAvennie reacts to injury news

by h79snht.top Uncategorized

Pundit Frank McAvennie has been reacting to updates on Newcastle duo Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson, as per Football Insider.

The Lowdown: Trippier and Wilson updates

The Magpies have headed to Dubai during the international break for a warm-weather training camp.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/newcastle-news-4/” title=”Newcastle news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Wilson has been out since December with a calf problem, while Trippier has been sidelined since February following a metatarsal fracture, although both players made the trip to Dubai along with another long-term injury victim Federico Fernandez.

Eddie Howe is hopeful that both Wilson and Trippier will return to action before the end of the season after making returns to training.

The Latest: McAvennie reacts

Speaking to Football Insider, McAvennie labelled the pair’s return to training as ‘incredible’, adding that it is an ‘exciting time’ for both players. The 62-year-old said:

“Newcastle have done so well to keep winning without those players.

“Tripper was so, so good before his injury and we all know how good Wilson is on his day.

“He’s still their top scorer. It’s incredible to see them both working to be back and Newcastle have a decent end to the season.

“I think they just need one or two more wins to really secure their safety.

“Then you are looking at how high they can finish, getting into the top 10 is not out of the question for me.

“It’s an exciting time for them and I’m sure the fans can’t wait to see those guys back.”

The Verdict: Almost safe for another year

Newcastle have enjoyed a fine start to 2022, picking up 20 points from a possible 30 to leave them nine points clear of the bottom three with nine games remaining.

They have coped without Wilson, but having him back to challenge Chris Wood in attack will be a huge boost. Trippier’s return will also be a welcome one given his impressive early impact, but Howe will need to be cautious with the pair in the final weeks of the season given how long they have been sidelined.
