Tottenham Hotspur may have started the season admirably, but there are still a few additions they could make to ensure a stunning debut campaign under Ange Postecoglou…

Who could Tottenham Hotspur sign this summer?

Saturday marked the club's first competitive win under their new manager, having impressed in their opening-day clash with Brentford, and more recently dismantled a disorganised Manchester United side.

However, for all the success earned thus far, there remain key areas that could see the system crumble if they are not sufficiently bolstered.

For example, Heung-min Son and Dejan Kulusevski have been relatively quiet during these matches, and yet hardly have ample competition to threaten their starting spots.

Perhaps the Australian boss could seek to change that before the window slams shut, swooping for Yannick Carrasco from Atletico Madrid.

Having been linked back in early August, perhaps now marks an opportune moment to swoop given what these first two fixtures have shown.

The £15m-rated wide man has just one year left on his £216k-per-week deal.

How good is Yannick Carrasco?

Since joining in 2015, leaving for China in 2018 and returning just one year later, the former AS Monaco star has been a mainstay for the Madrid club as they have earned an impressive degree of success given their competition is Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The Belgian boasts one La Liga title and a Europa League, having amassed 264 appearances for the club and providing 92 goal contributions. A consistent threat down that left flank, even last season saw the 29-year-old speedster score ten and assist five across all competitions, remaining a reliable asset to have within Diego Simeone's attacking line.

In fact, the Argentine coach even sought to praise his star winger back in 2016, predicting a bright future: "I'm very happy for Carrasco. He is a very complete player, with a bright future ahead of him. He is on the path to getting even better."

To secure an outstanding Belgian from Atletico Madrid, bringing him to north London, it would be hard not to instantly draw comparisons with their 2015 acquisition of Toby Alderwerield.

Having starred on loan at Southampton, it was Spurs who actually attained him permanently, with his ball-playing skillset and defensive solidity providing a foundation for years of progression under Mauricio Pochettino.

This led to praise from Ledley King, who lauded his partnership with Jan Vertonghen: "They're well rounded – both of them. They don't have any obvious weaknesses. Sometimes you can get someone who is very good in the air, very physical but not so great with the smaller, nippy players. They can deal with all types of forwards."

He featured 236 times for the Lilywhites, with the apex of his tenure there arguably coming in the 2015/16 season. Averaging a 7.28 rating that season, the third-highest among all defenders in the division, this was buoyed by his 13 clean sheets and four goal contributions alongside 1.7 interceptions and 7.5 clearances per game, via Sofascore.

The Belgian was unstoppable in his prime, and could offer a benchmark for Carrasco to hopefully surpass.

After all, when compared to midfielders across Europe, the £15m-rated trickster ranks in the top 5% for non-penalty goals per 90, the top 9% for shot-creating actions per 90, the top 1% for progressive carries per 90 and the top 2% for successful take-ons per 90, via FBref.

The foundation is in place for him to be an instant success on N17, with Alderwerield's exceptional tenure the perfect path to emulate.

Após a vitória do Peixe por 3 a 1 contra o Atlético-MG, nesta quarta-feira (05), pela nona rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro, na Vila Belmiro, o Alvinegro Praiano e o técnico do Galo, Jorge Sampaoli, se reencontrarão na tarde desta quinta-feira (06), mas dessa vez nos tribunais. Às 13h, a 5ª Vara da Justiça do Trabalho de Santos julgará o processo referente a saída do argentino do clube santista, em dezembro.

O LANCE! teve acesso ao processo de forma integral, onde Sampaoli é o reclamante e cobra cerca de R$ 5 milhões do Santos.

A derrota no campo, na quarta-feira (05), dirigindo o Atlético-MG foi mais uma das sequentes que o treinador tem acumulado ultimamente contra o Santos.

No dia 12 de dezembro, seguinte ao da entrada do processo, Sampaoli teve o pedido de tutela antecipada negado pela juíza Elizeth José Correa, que alegou que não havia elementos para concessão da medida sem a versão da parte reclamada, bem como a falta de provas.

A solicitação da defesa do técnico embasava-se na probabilidade do direito e o perigo de dano ou o risco ao resultado útil do processo.

Derrotas de Sampaoli

A derrota no campo, nesta quarta-feira (05), dirigindo o Atlético-MG foi mais uma das sequentes que o treinador tem acumulado ultimamente contra o Santos.

No dia 12 de dezembro, seguinte ao da entrada do processo, Sampaoli teve o pedido de tutela antecipada negado pela juíza Elizeth José Correa, que alegou que não havia elementos para concessão da medida sem a versão da parte reclamada, bem como a falta de provas.

A solicitação da defesa do técnico embasava-se na probabilidade do direito e o perigo de dano ou o risco ao resultado útil do processo.

Defesa de Santos

Na primeira manifestação oficial, os representantes do Alvinegro no caso alegaram que Jorge Sampaoli pediu demissão no dia 9 de dezembro e nesse sentido o clube deixou de juntar o comprovante de pagamento das verbas rescisórias, pois mediante a solicitação de desligamento do treinador elas estariam zeradas.

Quanto a solicitação do valor referente a classificação santista a Libertadores deste ano, os advogados do Santos alegam que o depósito do valor só aconteceu após a saída dele do clube e que o pagamento caberia apenas em razão da sua permanência para a disputa da competição em 2020.

No dia 12 de fevereiro houve o primeiro encontro entre as partes em tentativa de conciliação, mas sem sucesso.

Nesta terça-feira (08), o Santos pediu o adiamento da audiência programada para a tarde desta quinta-feira (10), alegando que dois dias antes do compromisso judicial o clube não havia recebido o e-mail com o convite formal para a participação do seu advogado e preposto.

كشفت تقارير صحفية إنجليزية عن صفقة صيفية تبادلية غير متوقعة قد تحدث بين ناديي برشلونة ومانشستر يونايتد في الميركاتو الصيفي المقبل.

وسيبحث برشلونة ومانشستر سيتي عن تغييرات كثيرة قبل بداية الموسم القادم خاصة وأن النتائج والأداء لم يكن جيدًا في الموسم الحالي.

وبحسب شبكة “HITC” الإنجليزية، فإن مانشستر يونايتد يريد التخلص من مهاجمه المعار إلى خيتافي، ماسون جرينوود، بالبيع بعد استعادته لمستواه بعض الشيء في الدوري الإسباني.

ويرغب برشلونة في الوقت الحالي وبحسب إذاعة “كادينا سير” الإسبانية التخلص من المهاجم الجديد، فيتور روكي، لأنه ليس ضمن خطة المدرب، تشافي، للموسم المقبل.

ووفقًا للتقرير فإن كلا الناديين يرغبان في حدوث صفقة تبادلية بأن ينتقل جرينوود إلى برشلونة حيث هناك إعجاب باللاعب من قبل الإدارة الرياضية وربما تكون ضالة روكي مع مانشستر يونايتد.

ولكن الراغبون في ضم روكي لن يجعلوا الصفقة سهلة على مانشستر يونايتد حيث يوجد اهتمام باللاعب من طرف أتلتيكو مدريد ومن غير المستبعد أن يطلب خيتافي اللاعب.

الجدير بالذكر أن جرينوود متبقي في عقده مع مانشستر يونايتد موسم واحد فقط، وبالتالي، لن تكون قيمته السوقية مرتفعة.

Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Julen Lopetegui could look to 'cash in' on Matheus Nunes, Pedro Neto and Daniel Podence if suitable offers arrive for their services at Molineux, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

Which clubs are keen on Nunes, Neto and Podence?

Earlier this year, Telegraph Sport revealed that Liverpool were keen on bringing Wolves midfielder Nunes to Anfield, though they now look to have gone in a different direction after confirming the additions of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.

L'Equipe via Sports Mole claim that Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain are now sniffing around Nunes' signature as they prepare for the potential departure of Italy international Marco Verratti to Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Hilal.

In the case of Neto, Sporting Clube de Portugal have shown an interest in taking the diminutive winger on loan this summer and he is believed to be 'very well regarded' by the Portuguese giants, as per A Bola.

FootballTransfers reported back in April that Neto was also under consideration at Premier League outfit Arsenal to add some depth on the flank and competition for Bukayo Saka.

Wolves are also 'expected' to sell Podence between now and the close of play in the market after he stayed at their Compton Park training ground during the Old Gold's warm weather training retreat in Portugal, as per The Daily Mail.

Podence made 37 appearances in all competitions for Wolves last campaign in total, registering six goals and one assist, as per Transfermarkt.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, transfer insider Jones believes that Wolves would consider selling the £191k-a-week trio if suitable offers were to arise for their services this window.

Jones stated: “If Wolves also cash in on more players, then people will be wondering what the result of all this will be, but the truth is it could happen.

“They need to raise more funds, and while Nunes and Neto aren’t the names they are looking to offload, you wonder what would happen now if an offer landed.

“The information around the club is that someone like Podence is one of those most likely to be next on the chopping block, so that could happen.”

What now for Wolverhampton Wanderers?

Wolves have been severely hamstrung by Financial Fair Play issues this window, which has led them to make just two signings in the form of Matt Doherty and Tom King, who have both arrived at Molineux on free transfers, as per Transfermarkt.

According to The Mirror, Old Gold boss Lopetegui is believed to be considering his future at the club amid frustration over now being able to replace high-profile departed players such as Ruben Neves, Raul Jimenez and Nathan Collins.

Bournemouth are also set to beat Wolves to the signing of Bristol City playmaker Alex Scott in a deal worth around £25 million. Lopetegui harbours fear that his side isn't strong enough to compete in the Premier League at present.

Football Insider report that Wolves are targeting veteran West Ham United target Michail Antonio as a potential solution to their slim options in the final third; however, Everton and Nottingham Forest are also keen on the Jamaica international.

Hammers left-back Aaron Cresswell had been in talks over a move to Wolves, though they broke down after neither party could agree on a fee for the former England international, as per The Daily Mail.

A quickfire unbeaten 140 from Shreyas Iyer and a 72 from Vijay Shankar steered India A to a seven-wicket win against South Africa A to seal the tri-series final in Pretoria

ESPNcricinfo staff08-Aug-2017File photo: Shreyas Iyer’s unbeaten century handed India a the series title•Cricket Australia/Getty ImagesA quickfire unbeaten century from Shreyas Iyer and a half-century from Vijay Shankar steered India A to a seven-wicket win against South Africa A to seal the tri-series final in Pretoria. Iyer and Shankar put on 141 for the third wicket to eclipse Farhaan Behardien’s century earlier in the day, when five wickets between Shardul Thakur and Siddarth Kaul had restricted the hosts to 267 for 7 in 50 overs.India A were jolted early when Junior Dala removed openers Sanju Samson and Karun Nair in the first six overs, leaving them in trouble at 20 for 2. But Iyer, who had not scored a fifty earlier in the series, and Shankar, who had scored a duck in his previous match, joined forces to deny South Africa another wicket for more than 28 overs, while lifting India’s run rate towards five an over. Shankar fell for 72 off 86 after striking nine fours, before Manish Pandey joined Iyer, who went on to register his highest List A score of 140 off 131 balls, with 11 fours and four sixes. The fourth-wicket pair put on an unbroken 109 in only 12.3 overs to seal the win with 19 balls to spare. Pandey, with scores of 55, 41*, 86*, 93* and 32*, was named Man of the Series.India A had capitalised on their decision to bowl when Kaul and Thakur cut through the top order and left South Africa A 32 for 3 in the ninth over. Khaya Zondo and Behardien steered them past 100 before No. 7 Dwaine Pretorius scored a quick 58 off 61 balls, which featured five fours and two sixes, to help them past 200. Behardien remained unbeaten on 101, having helped set India A a challenging target, but it wouldn’t prove enough against their middle order. Thakur ended with 3 for 52 and Kaul with 2 for 55.

وقال توماس توخيل في تصريحات صحفية عقب المباراة: “أداء فريقنا كان مميزا للغاية. أنا فخور جدًا بـ لايمر. دافعنا في منطقة المنتصف بشكل ممتاز وقام لايمر بإيقاف اوديجارد، مزراوي لعب في هذا المركز لأول مرة بشكل رائع، الجميع عملوا بجد للغاية”.

وأضاف توخيل: “التأهل إلى نصف النهائي خطوة مهمة. كانت المباراة ممتعة جداً. كان الشوط الأول بمثابة لعبة شطرنج من الفريقين. قدمنا شوطا ثانيا قويا جدًا. لقد أظهرنا المزيد من الشخصية والشجاعة، نستحق الفوز”.

وواصل توخيل: “لم أقل الكثيرلـ لاعبي بايرن ميونخ بين الشوطين. قلنا ما كان يحدث على أرض الملعب. وأوضحنا أماكن بعض التمركزات. شجعناهم وطلبنا منهم إظهار المزيد من الشخصية”.

حول هدف كيميش أوضح توماس توخيل: “هدف إستثنائي، كانت الأفضل على الإطلاق بهذه الكيفية”.

عن مواجهة ريال مدريد القادمة أشار توخيل: “نأمل أن يعود بعض اللاعبين المصابين للحصول على بدائل وفريق كامل. ليكون جهد الفريق والاستعداد للتضحية والمعاناة معاً، هذا هو المعيار. لا توجد طريقة أخرى للعب مباريات كرة القدم على هذا المستوى”.

وأتم قائلاً: “سيكون الأمر مختلفا تماما لأن أسلوب ريال مدريد مختلف تماما عن آرسنال. لم أشاهد ريال مدريد كثيرا هذا الموسم. إنها مواجهة من أصعب المباريات التي يمكنك لعبها. نصف النهائي كبير. نحن نتطلع إلى التحدي ونأمل أن نكون في المستوى المناسب”.

Chris Gayle’s first significant contribution in IPL 2017 – a 38-ball 77 – helped Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Gujarat Lions by 21 runs in Rajkot to lift themselves off the bottom of the table. Victory aside, the innings was special for Gayle, who became the first batsman to bring up 10,000 T20 runs.Brought in as a replacement for the injured AB de Villiers, he put together a 122-run opening stand with Virat Kohli as Royal Challengers blasted 213 for 2, the highest total of the season. But much before unleashing mayhem, it was a single that brought him much relief.”Samuel Badree reminded me before the game and said ‘Chris only three more runs to go, make sure you get it’ so it was actually playing on my mind a bit,” he said of the landmark. “Once I crossed the line, I said: ‘listen it’s time to have a go and then it eventually paid off, so I am really happy to get the runs.”By the time Gayle walked off, he had blasted five fours and seven monstrous sixes. “People are still looking out for Chris Gayle. The universe boss is still here and still alive,” he said. “It was great fun. You know it’s good to be back. I wanted this so badly, but first of all to get 10,000 runs, it was actually on my mind, so I’m glad to get that sort of achievement. It’s a privilege to actually be the first person to get there. Hopefully I can continue entertaining the fans.”Gayle had the lowest strike rate among openers who had played 50 balls this season before coming into the game. An aspect he corrected on Tuesday. The trigger was Ravindra Jadeja’s second over, in which he hit two fours and two sixes. The key to his effort was the manner in which he held his shape and didn’t slog wildly. “It’s not really premeditated, it just comes natural, to be honest,” he said. “Over the years, a lot of guys spoke to me about my stance. Even Shaun Pollock spoke to me about my stance. You’re never too old to learn.”In his hour of glory, Gayle didn’t forget to thank everyone who helped him get there. “I just want to thank the fans and all the franchises where I have actually played around the world. Even playing for West Indies as well. At the end of the day, they have actually played a part in this 10,000 runs as well. So, I want to thank all the franchises. It has been fantastic and like I said still I have a lot more to offer to the fans. Hopefully, I can keep entertaining and get a few more thousand runs under my belt.”

كشفت تقارير صحفية، أن نادي ليفربول يبحث عن بديل جديد لـ محمد صلاح من الدوري الهولندي، في ظل احتمالية رحيل الدولي المصري بنهاية الموسم الجاري.

ليفربول يبحث عن بديل لـ محمد صلاح، مع احتمالية رحيل اللاعب المصري إلى الدوري السعودي في الصيف المقبل، مع اهتمام شديد من الاتحاد والهلال.

رودي جاليتي الصحفي بشبكة “سكاي” الإيطالية، أكد أن ليفربول يهتم بالتعاقد مع الدولي اليلجيكي يوهان باكايوكو، صاحب الـ20 عامًا، والذي لفت أنظار الكثير من كبار أوروبا في الموسم الجاري.

ويتمتع باكايوكو بالصفات البدنية والفنية اللازمة للتألق في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، ويمكن أن يتطور أكثر في ليفربول مثلما حدث مع محمد صلاح عندما انضم في 2017 قادمًا من روما.

صاحب الـ20 عامًا، لديه امكانيات للعب في مركز الجناح الأيمن وكذلك الأيسر، وهو ما يجعله مناسبًا لفريق ليفربول، الذي لديه محمد صلاح فقط في مركز الجناح الأيمن، ويشارك فيه بشكل أساسي.

وينتهي عقد محمد صلاح في صيف 2025، وفي حالة لم يتم تجديد العقد في الموسم المقبل إذا استمر، قد لا يستمر النجم المصري لأبعد من ذلك التاريخ.

Shreyas Iyer’s unbeaten 79 helped Mumbai beat Gujarat to register their second win in the west zone leg of the inter-state T20 competition for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Mumbai breezed to their 132-run target with five wickets in hand and ten balls to spare.Iyer, who opened the innings, hit six fours and four sixes. He put on 42 for the first wicket with Ajinkya Rahane, who struck a 30-ball 25. Although Mumbai slipped to 112 for 5, Iyer’s blazing start meant they were always ahead of the asking rate. Earlier in the day, Rujul Bhatt top-scored with 47 in Gujarat’s 131 for 9. Pravin Tambe, the 45-year old legspinner, took 2 for 19 off four overs. Gujarat now have one win in two matches.File photo – Ankit Bawne top-scored for the second successive game for Maharashtra•ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Maharashtra bounced back from their loss to Gujarat on Sunday by beating Saurashtra by 15 runs in their second league fixture. Ankit Bawne, who made an unbeaten 90 in the first game, top-scored with 71 in Maharashtra’s 165 for 9. Saurashtra looked down and out at 86 for 8, but were revived courtesy Prerak Mankad’s counterattack. The allrounder struck three fours and five sixes in his 46-ball 72 before falling off the last ball of the innings, to fast bowler Anupam Sanklecha, who finished with 2 for 20 off four overs. Saurashtra fast bowler Shaurya Sanandia finished with a four-wicket haul in a losing cause. Cheteshwar Pujara, who opened the innings, was out for 4.

Peter Handscomb’s mother was in tears at the sight of her son notching a Test match fifty on debut, but Australia’s new No. 5 stated plainly after stumps that he does not wish this day to be the high-point of his international career.Helped greatly by the platform Matt Renshaw, Usman Khawaja and Steven Smith built on the first evening and second afternoon, Handscomb was able to showcase his batting method – crease-bound defence allied to adept shots all around the ground – while skating through a 99-run stand with Khawaja. He hopes it will be seen on plenty more days.”Very determined,” Handscomb said when asked how determined he was to make a midde-order berth his own after the raft of recent changes to the Test side. “There is that chance there to try to cement a spot in the middle order, which I’ll be trying to take with both hands. I’ll just go out there and do what I do and hopefully that will be enough.”It was an amazing platform they set, especially Matt on debut. It was a great testament to him. He went about playing his own way, playing his own game and hopefully that’ll continue to work for him. Uzzy [Khawaja] did an amazing job last night and today. They set that platform where the middle order were able to come in and still wait for that bad ball, but we were able to try and jump on it and score as many runs as we could.”Handscomb got a good idea of what Test match batting should look like from Khawaja, who made his own debut in 2011, the same year Handscomb first played for Victoria. “He’s seeing the ball really well and his movement patterns are great,” he said.”Batting out there with him was awesome because he just kept it really calm. In between overs, we discussed what we think the bowler’s trying to do and from there we developed our own plans. He was very collected and very calculated.”He never looked flustered out there even if the ball beat his outside edge, he’d just go back, do his routine and do what he was doing all day, keep backing his process. It was awesome to watch.”Normality can be hard to come by in the week a cricketer first receives his baggy green, but Handscomb said the presence of numerous friends in town for the occasion had helped to keep his head from expanding too much.”A few of my mates have been coming in and having a coffee before the game,” he said, “which is nice to get away from what’s going on around me. You can keep a level head, which is good.”As I was going out to bat as well, the mates were off to the side yelling all sorts of stuff. It takes your mind off what’s happening, you go out and try to play with freedom.”As for mum, Handscomb wasn’t aware of the tears, but looked forward to a catch-up. “I didn’t actually know that, I haven’t been able to speak to her yet or see her,” he said, grinning. “Looking forward to getting back to the hotel. Going to see how she’s going and hopefully she’s feeling alright.”
