Sri Lanka Cricket is planning to revamp its domestic Twenty20 tournament by allowing foreign players to participate, Aravinda de Silva, the board’s newly-appointed chief selector has said. The move was also an attempt to attract overseas sponsorship, he added.”This (new) Inter-Provincial League will create opportunities for players, spectators and viewers and raise scope for foreign advertisers to reach a much wider audience,” de Silva was quoted as saying by .The current Inter-Provincial Twenty20 tournament in Sri Lanka comprises six teams, with Wayamba the reigning champions. In 2008, the governing body for rugby in Sri Lanka allowed foreign players to feature in domestic competitions.de Silva admitted the move to include foreign players was part of the trend set in motion by the IPL. “With IPL, the Twenty20 format went a step further,” he said. “Just when Test cricket was sagging, IPL was formed three years back. The whole dynamics changed. Boundaries were cleared and players were merged from across the globe to form teams.”Viewers now have short attention spans. They want to see quick results,” de Silva said. Sri Lanka Cricket is expected to announce the new structure soon.

Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves would only potentially leave the club this summer if a ‘massive offer’ is lodged, according to journalist Dean Jones.

The Lowdown: Neves enjoying superb season

There have been a number of strong performers for Bruno Lage’s side this season but Neves has stood out as one of the best, excelling in the middle of the park.

The 24-year-old has made 21 Premier League appearances, including 19 starts, and has averaged 2.2 tackles per game along with an 82.2% pass completion rate.

However, Neves has been linked with a move away this summer, with Manchester United arguably the front-runners at the moment.

The Latest: Journalist makes ‘massive’ claim

Spaking to GiveMeSport, Jones, a ‘transfer insider’, hinted that Neves was likely to stay put at Molineux, unless an enormous bid comes Wolves’ way.

The journalist stated: “It will take a massive offer to turn his head. He’s been very loyal in his time there. From the moment he joined the club, it was a huge show of faith.”

The Verdict: Vital he stays put

In truth, Wolves may have to accept that Neves may not be at the club forever, having been hailed as a ‘next level’ player by Lage in the recent past.

For now, though, it is crucial that they keep hold of such a prized asset, especially with fellow midfield hero Joao Moutinho turning 36 later in the year.

The control and quality that Neves brings in the middle of the park is so influential, and if he were to suddenly move on, it could leave a gaping void in a crucial area of the pitch, especially if Moutinho is phased out too.

Securing European football would certainly be a good way of ensuring that he stays, at least for another campaign or two.

In other news, one Wolves player is reportedly ‘in the sights’ of another club. Find out who it is here.

تأكد غياب الدولي الفرنسي بول بوجبا لاعب وسط فريق يوفنتوس الإيطالي عن منتخب بلاده في بطولة كأس العالم 2022.

بول بوجبا يغيب عن يوفنتوس منذ بداية الموسم بعد انضمامه إلى الفريق قادمًا من مانشستر يونايتد، وذلك بسبب إصابة في العضلات.

شبكة “سكاي” الإيطالية، أكدت أن الفحوصات الطبية التي أجراها اللاعب الفرنسي، أظهرت أن صاحب الـ29 عامًا تفاقمت إصابته العضية وسيغيب لمدة 15 يومًا على الأقل.

اللاعب الفرنسي كان يتعافى من جراحة الغضروف المفصلي، للركبة، ولكن يبدو أنه لن يتمكن من المشاركة في كأس العالم بسبب الإصابة العضلية الجديدة.

ديديه ديشامب مدرب منتخب فرنسا، أكد في تصريحات سابقه أن بوجبا تعافيه يسير على ما يرام، ولكن يبدو أنه سيضطر لاستبعاده من قائمة الديوك.

وكيلة اللاعب، رافائيلا بيامينتا، أعلنت أن بول بوجبا لن يلحق ببطولة كأس العالم 2022، حسبما نشر الصحفي الإيطالي فابريزيو رومانو عبر حسابه الشخصي.

منتخب فرنسا يلعب أولى مبارياته 22 نوفمبر، وهذا يعني أن بوجبا لن يتمكن من العودة للتدريبات الجماعية إلا قبل أسبوع واحد فقط من مباراة أستراليا على ملعب الجنوب.

Newcastle United have made contact with Fiorentina over exit-bound centre-back Nikola Milenkovic, according to Calciomercato (via Sport Witness).

The lowdown

Milenkovic is approaching five years at Fiorentina, having joined from Partizan Belgrade in the summer of 2017.

But the 24-year-old is now well into the final 18 months of his deal at La Viola.

The 6 foot 3 defender, reportedly the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Wolves and West Ham United in 2021, is valued at £20.7million by Transfermarkt.

Newcastle did add a centre-back to their ranks in January, paying Brighton and Hove Albion £13.5million for Dan Burn.

The latest

The report (via SW) states that Fiorentina have ‘had contact’ with Newcastle over Milenkovic in ‘recent days’.

The club have made a ‘pact’ with the Serbian, whereby he can leave if a ‘fair offer’ arrives. It therefore ‘seems almost obvious’ that he will depart at the end of the campaign.

Newcastle, though, do face competition from two Serie A giants in the form of Juventus and AC Milan.

Juve have apparently been tracking him for ‘some time’, while Milan have already formalised their interest.

The verdict

When you look at Milenkovic, what stands most out is his ability in the air. He wins 3.6 aerial duels per 90 minutes, which ranks him in the 86th percentile among positional peers in the top five European leagues (via FBRef).

In fact, of all the players who contested 100 or more in those competitions in 2020/21, he had the best success rate (via WhoScored).

Indeed, he could be a dominant presence at the heart of The Magpies’ backline for a number of years.

We’ll have to see if the allure of joining PIF’s hugely ambitious project, and of playing in the Premier League, is enough for them to see off the Italian competition.

It is tempting to look at these matches – two Twenty20 internationals between Sri Lanka and New Zealand, being played in the USA – as precisely the reason why tournaments like IPL prosper

The Big PictureIt is tempting to look at these matches – two Twenty20 internationals between Sri Lanka and New Zealand, being played in the USA – as precisely the reason why tournaments like IPL prosper. Twenty20 is the best vehicle for the globalisation of the game, which somehow – rightly or wrongly – seems to be a big concern for the administrators. The ICC sees the USA, with a team full of Asians and a country boasting enough immigrants to constitute a crowd for a match, as a prospective market. Since the two teams had been to the Caribbean, why not have them stop over on their way back.Yet, on another level, there is much to suggest that this series is yet another example of the ICC sanctioning an ill-timed series, one without context. It hasn’t been even a week since the end of the World Twenty20, and the fatigue, even for the slam-bang format, was evident among the audience during the bilateral series earlier this week between West Indies and South Africa. It would have been foolish to expect anything but in the first place: there is only so much Twenty20 people can take.In any event, it is going to be a huge weekend for cricket in the USA, especially as a venue. Already the series has been cut short because of poor floodlighting. It is the first time two Test teams are playing in America, and how the matches go from an organisational point of view will have a bearing on the future of international cricket in the USA.There has also been concern over whether New Zealand and Sri Lanka, small countries with small diaspora, will be able to attract enough supporters, leave alone taking the game to the natives, which should be the real aim. The onus will be on the teams to play attractive cricket; it is not easy to make a pitching-obsessed nation fall in love with bowling. They can’t turn up jaded, like West Indies and South Africa did, three days after the World Twenty20 final.Form guide (most recent first)New Zealand LWLWW
Sri Lanka LWLWWWatch out for…Mahela Jayawardene and Daniel Vettori are the complete antitheses of hitters and pitchers from baseball. If they are both at their best, who knows the Americans might just see the light.
The pitch and conditions are a complete unknown. “There’s a New Zealand groundsman here looking after it [the pitch] and preparing it,” said Ross Taylor. “To be honest, we don’t really know what to expect.” Isolated thunderstorms are also forecast for the weekend.Team newsBetween the World Twenty20 and now, New Zealand have lost Jesse Ryder to another injury, and Shane Bond for good.

Most of the guys haven’t been to the States. We’ve had a look around, went to a baseball game. It’s something different, going out of your routine of playing against top nations in venues you’re quite familiar with. It will be good fun.”

“We’ve been waiting a long time for this. This is part of what we’ve been calling Destination USA. We took, with the board’s help, a view to try and bring in the best teams in the world and show that the United States is open for business as far as cricket is concerned.”

Alex Crook has dropped a damning claim on West Ham United’s deadline day activity.

What’s been said?

In recent comments made on talkSPORT (via West Ham Zone), the transfer insider revealed that, despite David Moyes having identified a centre-forward and a centre-back as his primary targets in the January transfer window, as well as the 58-year-old having money to spend in the market, the Hammers manager vetoed a number of deals his side were attempting to get done on deadline day.

Speaking about West Ham’s failed January business, Crook said: “I was told early in the window there is money for David Moyes to spend. He wanted a striker and a central defender. So the live options that were presented to him, he decided wouldn’t improve the West Ham squad. Ultimately, David Moyes vetoed any new arrivals.”

Jim White then questioned whether the West Ham board would have been happy to cough up should Moyes have identified a target he wanted to bring to the club, to which Crook replied: “That’s what I’ve been told, and I have no reason to doubt that information.”

Fans will be livid

With West Ham currently sitting just one point behind Manchester United in fourth place in the Premier League standings, this season easily represents West Ham’s best opportunity to qualify for Champions League football since the turn of the millennium.

However, with Michail Antonio currently being the Irons’ only recognised striker, as well as Angelo Ogbonna’s season-ending ACL injury leaving the Hammers lacking any real strength in depth in the heart of defence, it very much appeared that, should Moyes wish to give his side the best possible chance of securing a top-four finish in the league this season, a new centre-forward and central defender were, at the very least, two signings the 58-year-old must get over the line in January.

Despite this, West Ham’s squad remains exactly the same as it was on January 1, with the Irons failing to make a single signing in the winter window – something that it would now appear is down to Moyes personally vetoing the club’s moves for a number of January targets.

As such, should his side be hit with injuries in the second half of the current campaign, or even just suffer fatigue from competing in the Europa League, FA Cup and Premier League, the Scot can have nobody but himself to blame, as his actions last month could easily have cost the Hammers their best shot at the top four in recent memory – something that will undoubtedly leave fans livid.

In other news: Moyes dropped grave deadline day error as fresh twist emerges on late West Ham move

Writing on his Patreon profile, reliable club insider ExWHUemployee has made a West Ham United transfer claim involving Marseille defender Duje Caleta-Car.

The Lowdown: Hammers have bid rejected…

According to reports, amid David Moyes’ last-gasp attempts to sign a new centre-back this month, the Irons have actually had an offer rejected for the Croatia international.

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

Indeed, The Scottish Daily Mail’s print edition (page 75, via West Ham Zone) claim that the east Londoners tabled a loan bid for Caleta-Car which was swiftly turned down as Marseille apparently demand a permanent deal.

He is a familiar name to plenty of Hammers fans as their club had actually ‘agreed’ a fee to sign him in 2020 (Mike McGrath), but the move eventually fell through.

Alas, it appears they aren’t quite done in their efforts to bring the defender to London, with ExWHUemployee now sharing some news.

The Latest: Ex makes Caleta-Car claim…

Writing on Patreon, the club source claimed that ‘talks will also happen’ with Marseille in this last week of the trabsfer window to see if a possible ‘compromise’ can be reached as Moyes chases an agreement.

Ex reiterated that West Ham, and by extension recruitment chief Rob Newman, would ‘like to initially loan’ Caleta-Car, considering that he is unproven in the Premier League.

Marseille do not want to agree a temporary transfer but that apparently won’t stop the Irons in their attempts to see if there is a middle ground.

The Verdict: Interesting final week…

West Ham are arguably in dire need of a world-class central defender and backup striker to Michail Antonio, with Moyes running out of time to bolster either one of these positions.

Amassing 20 caps with Croatia at international level, Caleta-Car could prove to be a shrewd addition if West Ham can reach a compromise with his current club.

The 6 foot 3 powerhouse, who was called ‘quality’ by his defensive partner Alvaro Gonzalez (Ligue 1), could apparently cost up to £20m on an outright permanent deal (talkSPORT) – arguably a small price to pay for a player still fairly young and solid on the big stage.

Over Caleta-Car’s Europa League outings this season, only Kurt Zouma has averaged more interceptions per match (three) than the Ligue 1 ace (1.7) when compared to West Ham’s current squad (WhoScored). Furthermore, he has managed a consistent two clearances per 90, with only Zouma and Ben Johnson making more among Moyes’ squad (WhoScored).

With the clock ticking down quickly on this transfer window, we urge Newman and co to step up their pursuit and back Moyes ahead of a tricky final run of 2021/22.

Em 2017, Matheus Fernandes começou como caçula, foi de reserva à titular na Copa Libertadores e teve noticiado o interesse do Barcelona por ele. Muita coisa para quem foi quase sempre o reserva do grupo e ainda viu Lucas Barrios, então no Grêmio, ganhar na altura e decretar a eliminação alvinegra da competição continental. No último trimestre, então, o desempenho do volante caiu. Mas, para este ano, ele ouviu um ensinamento importante.

Anderson Barros foi contratado para ser o novo gerente de futebol do Glorioso e a um dos maiores potenciais de venda alvinegro tratou de ajudar. Recomendou calma, que ele continuasse jogando o futebol que sabe. O dirigente fez analogia com uma mulher bonita, que sempre vai ser desejada. E o jovem meio-campista alvinegro, de 19 anos, entendeu.

– É muito bom ter profissionais experientes para acolher os jogadores mais novos. Ele falou, eu demorei a entender, mas ele tem razão. Se tiverem que vir propostas, elas virão – explicou.

Para esta temporada, Matheus tem a vantagem de ser um dos atletas que trabalharam com Felipe Conceição nas divisões de base do Glorioso. Não só por isso, o treinador tem escalado o jogador com os que devem começar jogando a partida contra a Portuguesa, na estreia do Botafogo no Campeonato Carioca, na terça-feira.

-Acho muito bom. Trabalhei com ele antes e não tem “migué”. Ele dá mais liberdade, deixa a gente à vontade para mostrar o futebol – celebrou.
