Newcastle United are believed to be keen on signing an “exciting” player who has already displayed his creativity this season, according to an update from journalist Alan Nixon.

Latest Newcastle news

The Magpies lost 2-1 away to Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, leaving them sitting 12th in the table, but it was a far from disappointing showing from Eddie Howe’s men. Away from the on-pitch action, Newcastle continue to be linked with new signings, following a summer transfer window that seemingly left both Paul Mitchell and Howe dissatisfied with the lack of incomings.

One player who has emerged as a potential option is Barcelona attacker Ferran Torres, who has fallen down the pecking order at the Camp Nou, following the excellent form of Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski this season. The Spaniard is seen as a January target and has experience of the Premier League, having played for Manchester City in the past.

Newcastle are also thought to be battling Tottenham for the signing of Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney, with the 22-year-old a talented young player who has started all 12 of his side’s Championship matches in 2024/25 to date, scoring twice for good measure.

Newcastle eyeing move for "exciting" Championship ace

According to Nixon on Patreon [via Football League World], Newcastle are among the clubs interested in signing West Brom youngster Tom Fellows in the January transfer window.

It is claimed that Everton have sent scouts to watch the 21-year-old in action, perhaps suggesting that they are looking the strongest in the race to snap him up currently, but the Magpies are providing competition, along with the likes of Crystal Palace, Southampton and Ipswich Town.

Planning for the long-term future is something that Newcastle constantly have to be thinking about, even though supporters will understandably want big names who are at their peak, too, and Fellows looks like a great option.

The West Brom midfielder has already registered five assists in 10 Championship starts this season, outlining his creativity, while former England international Carlton Palmer has said of him: “He had his breakthrough into the first-team in the last 12 months, and he is an exciting player who is potentially going to have a fantastic future and is going to go up in valuation.”

Fellows has won two caps for England Under-20s in the past, showing that he has been considered a highly-rated young player throughout his career, and he is a footballer who should only go from strength to strength in the coming years.

West Brom will understandably be desperate to retain the services of a prized asset with a high ceiling, but the lure of the Premier League is great, meaning his head could easily be turned by a move there. Newcastle are the biggest of the clubs being linked with him, hopefully giving them the edge in the battle to acquire his signature.

Segundo o Gerente de Futebol do Corinthians, Roberto de Andrade, o teto salarial do clube é de R$ 720 mil. No entanto, o cartola admitiu que há exceções feitas a determinados jogadores.

– Existem exceções também. A média maior é esse salário aí. (R$ 720 mil). Um ou outro um pouco mais que isso. Não gosto de ficar falando de número porque expõe as pessoas. Mas não é muito mais do que isso, não – disse Roberto em entrevista a SBT.

> TABELA: Confira e simule os jogos do Timão no Paulista de 2022
> GALERIA:Corinthians ativo para “se livrar” de atletas fora dos planos

De acordo com o LANCE!, essas exceções referem-se a reforços recentes, como Giuliano, Renato Augusto, Róger Guedes e Willian, que recebem valores mensais próximos a R$ 1 milhão, no caso do último ele recebe até mais, mas o que ultrapassa o limite corintiano é pago por um investidor.

Outro atleta que pode entrar na ‘lista de exceções corintiana’ é o novo centroavante, que o clube tem buscado. A ideia da diretoria é contar com um nome de peso. Presente também no programa ‘Arena SBT’ da última segunda-feira (18), o Diretor de Futebol do Corinthians, Alessandro Nunes, admitu que há procura por esse atleta, mas que internamente existe cautela.

-Vamos, sim, contratar um atleta para essa posição, mas com muita cautela e muita segurança. O torcedor tem que entender que faremos como foi em 202. É difícil cravar uma data. Gostaríamos de ter esse atleta já no início dos trabalhos, mas não foi possível – declarou o cartola.

Contudo, confirmando informações anteriores do L!, o ex-atleta do Timão garantiu que o clube não abriu negociação com nenhum dos seus alvos, pois monitora o mercado por atletas livres de contrato e que utilizará o tempo do Paulistão pra seguir monitorando as possibilidades.

Cavani foi o grande sonho para a camisa 9 corintiana, exisita a expectativa que nesse início ano ele rescindisse com o Manchester United, da Inglaterra, mas a tendência é que ele fique no clube até o fim do contrato, no meio do ano. O Timão fez uma busca de informações, conversou com o estafe do jogador sobre a possibilidade, apresentou até números, que agradaram, mas só formalizaria o interesse em caso de rescisão contratual com o clube inglês, o que não aconteceu.

– Não fizemos nenhuma proposta oficial para algum atleta. Mas a competição em si, o Paulista que vai ser a primeira, te dá um tempo e condição de analisar melhor para minimizar o erro. Estamos com muita tranquilidade e muita segurança para ser muito assertivo – afirmou Alessandro.

Diego Costa é um nome em potencial. O jogador confirmou que sairá do Atlético-MG, e o Corinthians aguardava a confirmação dessa rescisão para formalizar uma proposta. Roberto de Andrade deixou claro que até o momento da entrevista não havia feito proposta, mas deixou as portas atletas para conversar com o atleta.

– Não conversamos com o Diego Costa. Ele fez a rescisão ontem, domingo, hoje é segunda-feira. Estamos quietinhos no nosso canto, deixa ele resolver o que vai fazer da vida. Caso o empresário dele queira conversar conosco, vamos conversar. Mas não vamos procurar ninguém, não – afirmou o ex-presidente e hoje membro da diretoria corintiana.

O Timão entende que não consegue pagar a mesma coisa que o Atlético-MG arcava por Diego Costa, mas nas primeiras conversas sobre o tema internamente foi definido um valor que gira em torno de R$ 1 milhão e R$ 1,5 milhão pelo atacante, com o clube do Parque São Jorge pagando o teto e o Grupo Taunsa a parte excedente.

Liam Livingstone impressed with bat and ball for England before going off the field with a finger injury

ESPNcricinfo staff18-Oct-2021

Fifties from KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan at the top of the order led India to a seven-wicket win in their first warm-up game against England. Apart from setting the base for a successful chase of 189, the 82-run opening partnership between Rahul and Kishan, off just 50 balls, also left India with an interesting choice ahead of their opening match of the tournament proper.Related

Virat Kohli: 'I will be batting at three'

Before the match, Virat Kohli indicated that Rahul would open with Rohit Sharma – who was rested for this game – when the tournament begins, and that he himself would bat at No. 3. Rahul showed why his captain wants him at the top of the order, providing the early impetus with 51 off just 24 balls, carrying on the scintillating form he showed in his last match of the IPL season for Punjab Kings.With a 46-ball 70, Kishan ensured he made a strong case for selection too, in the middle order if not at the top.India won with an over to spare, but the match was tighter than that margin suggested, with Chris Jordan sending down a wide, high full-toss that was no-balled and ran away past the keeper to the boundary, to change the equation from 16 required off nine balls to 11 off eight. Hardik Pandya swung at the free-hit that followed and sent an edge to the third-man boundary, before Rishabh Pant finished off at the end of that over with a pulled six. Pant remained unbeaten on a 14-ball 29 that also included successive straight sixes off Moeen Ali.Liam Livingstone left the field with a finger injury•ICC/Getty Images

There were positives for England too, particularly with the bat, with Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone and Moeen making strong contributions in the middle order. Livingstone also picked up the wicket of a subdued Kohli with his legspin – he also showed his versatility by bowling offspin to the left-handers – but a good evening for him ended early when he walked off the field with a finger injury sustained while going for a catch in the deep in the 16th over. England will hope the injury isn’t serious.Mohammed Shami took three wickets for India, but their most impressive performers with the ball were Jasprit Bumrah, who took Bairstow out with a perfectly directed yorker and only conceded 26 in his four overs. R Ashwin was even more frugal, going at less than a run a ball, and made a case for selection in India’s spin attack. The legspinner Rahul Chahar, however, was expensive, as were Shami and particularly Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who conceded 54 in his four overs including Moeen hitting him for 4, 6, 6 off the last three balls of England’s innings.Both teams will play their final warm-up games on Wednesday – England against New Zealand and India against Australia – and get a chance to test some of the players they rested today. These include Rohit and the mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy from the Indian camp, and Eoin Morgan – Jos Buttler stood in as captain – and the fast bowlers Tom Curran and Tymal Mills from England.

Rangers boss Philippe Clement is fighting for his job. The Gers had yet another day to forget on Sunday, losing 1-0 away to Kilmarnock and yet more ground in the Scottish Premiership title race. The defeat means Clement’s side are now stuck six points behind Celtic and Aberdeen in third place after eight games played.

Not only are they struggling in the league, Rangers are also having a tough time in Europe. After failing to make it through Champions League qualifying, they were recently thumped 4-1 by French side Lyon in the Europa League.

As a result of their indifferent start to the campaign, fans are becoming impatient and pressure is mounting on Clement, who took over as boss in 2023. According to a recent report from Football Insider, preparations are being made for Clement’s dismissal with “sources close to the Rangers hierarchy” believing that “results this season have not met the board’s expectations”.

“There is now a growing feeling at Ibrox that Clement’s position is no longer secure,” Football Insider’s report claims.

Clement could now turn to youngsters to save himself

One of Rangers’ biggest problems this term has been finding the net away from home. At Ibrox, they’ve been clinical, scoring 11 in just four top flight games, but on the road, they’ve managed just one in four.

Cyriel Dessers is without a goal in five games and struggling for form, while Brazilian striker Danilo only made his return from injury earlier this week when he stepped out for Rangers B against Stenhousemuir in the Scottish Challenge Cup. According to Rangers News, Clement and the rest of his coaching staff were on hand to watch the game, which ended 4-1 to the Light Blues.

While Danilo was on the scoresheet, the Belgian manager was likely to have been more impressed with the display of teenage winger Findlay Curtis, who scored twice on the night. The 18-year-old opened the scoring after just 13 minutes and grabbed his second on the hour, curling a confident finish into the bottom corner.

While there’s no indication yet that Clement will call up Curtis to the first-team as a result of his impressive display, it certainly wouldn’t be a surprise given his current squad’s recent struggles.

Who is Findlay Curtis?

Curtis began his journey with Rangers when he was just six years old and has since progressed through the ranks to become a regular for the club’s B team, for whom he’s now scored three times this season. Having already trained with the first-team, the youngster is hoping he can make his debut sooner rather than later.

The Rangers attacker has not had many chances to impressive Clement so far.

“I’ve trained with the first-team twice so far and they were a great experience. One was match prep but the other was a full session and I loved it,” Curtis said in a recent interview shared on Rangers’ official website.

“I love every single minute of it here and next season I will push as much as I can, do the right things on and off the pitch and focus on developing my game.You have to push for a chance in the first-team and to make my debut one day would be unbelievable.”

Após grande campanha nas primeiras fases, com cinco vitórias em cinco jogos, o Novorizontino se despediu da Copinha neste domingo, com derrota para o América-MG por 5 a 2 nas oitavas de final. Apesar da eliminação, o Tigre teve bons destaques individuais e pode contar com algumas peças para a temporada do profissional. Um dos jogadores que deve retornar ao elenco principal é o meia Rômulo, principal destaque do sub-20.

Depois de jogar pelo time profissional em 2021, Rômulo desceu para disputar a Copa São Paulo e sai da competição em evidência, com três gols, três assistências e grandes atuações, comandando o setor ofensivo. Ele afirma que seu foco era apenas chegar o mais longe possível no campeonato e acredita que as coisas acontecem no tempo certo, apesar de viver a expectativa de disputar grandes competições pelo Tigre nesta temporada.

– Quando começou a Copa SP, só pensei em fazer um ótimo campeonato individual e coletivamente, e a promoção ao elenco principal seria consequência, não foi algo que coloquei à frente de tudo. Claro que vivo a expectativa de jogar Paulistão, Série B e Copa do Brasil, mas vou seguir trabalhando firme e deixar tudo acontecer naturalmente, no tempo certo. – comentou Rômulo, que também falou sobre seu desempenho e o objetivo do clube na Copinha.

– Pelo trabalho que fiz ao longo da temporada passada, vindo do profissional para jogar a Copinha, treinando sem parar, foquei muito na parte física e técnica para ajudar a equipe. Coletivamente, pudemos fazer uma boa campanha. Nosso principal objetivo era chegar nas quartas de final, porém infelizmente não conseguimos, mas temos que levantar a cabeça e seguir trabalhando, porque temos muitas coisas boas para colher.

O meia também fez questão de exaltar a visibilidade que a Copinha proporciona a todos os jovens que tem o sonho de se tornar jogador profissional. O camisa 10 ressaltou a felicidade em fazer parte do elenco.

– A Copinha é um dos melhores campeonatos de base para jogar, sem dúvidas. É uma competição que tem uma vitrine muito grande, tem muita visibilidade. Graças a Deus fizemos um ótimo campeonato e agora temos chances de compor o elenco profissional, por consequência da nossa dedicação. Fico feliz de fazer parte deste grupo. – concluiu.

The batter featured in five matches in the National T20 Cup which concluded on Wednesday

Umar Farooq14-Oct-2021

Northern batter Zeeshan Malik has been provisionally suspended by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) under the provisions of its anti-corruption code.Malik, 24, played five matches for Northern in the recently concluded National T20 Cup where he made 123 runs at an average of 24.60, finishing as his side’s sixth-highest run-getter during their campaign that ended with eventual winners Khyber Pakhtunkhwa knocking them out in the semi-finals.The PCB has opened an investigation against Malik pertaining to article 4.7.1 in its code that covers a wide range of offences, including corruption and breach of a criminal law.Though the PCB has refused to divulge the precise offence for which Malik is being investigated, the board has barred him from participating in any activity related to cricket while the probe is carried out.Malik shot to prominence after becoming Pakistan’s third-highest run-scorer at the 2016 Under-19 World Cup, averaging 56.25 for his 225 runs. He hails from Chakwal in Rawalpindi division, made his debut in first-class cricket in 2016 for Rawalpindi, and has played five seasons since. His 2019-20 season for Northern saw him make 780 runs at an average of 52. His 467 List A runs in the 2018-19 season, including three hundreds, kept him in national contention.According to article 4.7.1 of PCB’s anti-corruption code, provisional suspension is effective where the PCB decides to charge an individual with a corruption offence or considers that there are other exceptional circumstances where law enforcement agencies arrest the individual under the criminal law. In cases where it considers that the integrity of the sport could otherwise be seriously undermined, the PCB holds the discretion to suspend a player pending the anti-corruption tribunal investigation of the said offence.

Depois de recusar a primeira oferta, o Fluminense acertou, nesta quinta-feira, a venda do meia-atacante Gabriel Teixeira ao Al-Wasl, dos Emirados Árabes. Após contraproposta, o clube de Odair Hellmann vai desembolsar cerca de 2 milhões de dólares (aproximadamente de R$ 10,8 milhões na cotação atual) pelo jovem de 20 anos.

A informação foi dada incialmente pelo “ge” e confirmada pelo LANCE!, que apurou que a venda foi de 60% dos direitos do jogador e o Tricolor manteve 40%. Biel deve viajar já nesta sexta-feira e, caso seja aprovado nos exames médicos, assina por cinco temporadas. A oferta anterior era de 750 mil (pouco mais de R$ 4 milhões), valor considerado muito baixo pelo Tricolor. O contrato com o Flu era até o final de 2025.

Biel sequer foi relacionado para a estreia do Fluminense na temporada, nesta quinta-feira, contra o Bangu, pelo Campeonato Carioca. Ele estreou no profissional na última temporada e chegou a ganhar a vaga de titular ainda com Roger Machado, mas a oscilação e as lesões atrapalharam a sequência.

Aos 20 anos, Gabriel Teixeira fez 44 jogos na temporada 2021, sendo 26 como titular, e marcou cinco gols. Ele também deu uma assistência. Por conta da parte física, iniciou a pré-temporada fazendo trabalhos específicos para fortalecimento e ficou fora dos dois jogos-treino realizados no CT Carlos Castilho.

Uma das joias formadas em Xerém nos últimos anos, Biel era visto como um bom potencial de venda. Com forte concorrência no ataque, Gabriel Teixeira não seria titular de Abel Braga nesse primeiro momento do ano. Como o Flu precisava vender e o jogador quer mais espaço, a saída acabou sendo boa para os dois lados. Na atual temporada nos Emirados Árabes, jogadores que nasceram até 2001 não ocupam vaga de estrangeiro. A cota já estava preenchida no Al-Wasl, mas a regra se mostrou boa oportunidade.

He walked off to special applause and hugs after scoring a nine-ball 15 against Australia at the Men’s T20 World Cup

ESPNcricinfo staff06-Nov-2021

Is this the last time we will see Chris Gayle in action in international cricket? As Gayle trudged off at the Sheikh Zayed stadium in Abu Dhabi, a nine-ball 15 to his name, one ball after hitting his 1045th six in T20 cricket, it certainly felt that way. He did say after the match that he hoped to get a farewell game at home in Jamaica, but that’s left to be seen.*Gayle dragged Pat Cummins on to his stumps to end a promising opening stand in what was defending champions West Indies’ last game at the 2021 Men’s T20 World Cup. Their loss to Sri Lanka on November 4 had already ended their slim hopes of progressing to the semi-finals. He walked off, expressionless at first and waving his bat to the crowd, before breaking out into an ear-to-ear grin, and straight into hugs with Andre Russell and Dwayne Bravo after crossing the boundary. He then gave away his gloves to fans in the stands.When West Indies came out to defend, Gayle’s mood and the atmosphere pointed to this being a farewell not least when he rolled his arm over with Australia on the brink of victory. That was a reminder of how Gayle sought to play. Hat on, sunglasses on, he looked like a social cricketer who couldn’t wait to get to the pub, but his bowling still had all the guile and competitiveness.He sought to cramp David Warner, who tried the switch hit. As Warner remonstrated for a wide call, Gayle joked to him about not knowing the rules. He then nearly had Warner stumped down the leg side although Nicholas Pooran failed to collect the ball. Gayle walked all the way up to Warner and touched his pocket, perhaps to suggest the ball might have flicked the pocket on the way to cause the error. With the last ball, he had Mitchell Marsh caught at mid-off and ran towards the departing batter and gave him a bear hug from the back. He walked off with a smile. Gayle came back to finish off the formalities of the game.Watch cricket live on ESPN+

Gayle, who turned 42 in September, has been part of a team in this tournament which has felt very much at the end of an era – having won the 2012 and 2016 editions of the tournament with a core of the side still playing in this tournament. Although the captain Kieron Pollard has said he will continue, Bravo has announced his retirement.Watching on from the commentary box, Ian Bishop and later Daren Sammy – the latter a recent team-mate and captain of Gayle – paid rich tribute to, arguably, the greatest T20 cricketer ever. “Everything points to this being the last time we will see Gayle in West Indies’ colours,” Bishop said on air. Alongside Bravo, Gayle also walked through a guard of honour given by the Australian team after the game.Although his returns have dwindled in recent years, Gayle’s on-field legacy is unlikely to be dimmed. He has hit nearly three times as many hundreds in the format as the next best (22 to eight), has hit nearly 300 more sixes than anyone else and, with over 14000 runs, has 3000 more than anyone in the format.And although he never won an IPL title, the league in which he first became the superstar he is now, he has been part of seven title-winning sides across the globe: twice with West Indies, three times in the CPL, once in the Bangladesh Premier League and an Afghanistan Premier League title as well.Chris Gayle and Dwayne Bravo embrace•ICC via Getty

The obvious caveat to this is that he has yet to make an official announcement that this is the end, either for West Indies, or from the game altogether. His impending retirement – or not – has been an ongoing narrative over the last couple of years. Two years ago, having hit 72 off 41 balls against India in an ODI, he walked off to congratulations and tributes.He has since taken a break from the game but then returned.Post-game both Bravo and Pollard laughed when the question of Gayle’s retirement was asked. “He said halfway,” Bravo responded. “He halfway retires. He still has some cricket left. I’m not sure what he’s decided yet, but yeah.”Not that this stopped David Warner from giving a conventional tribute.”I think Chris has changed the game for all opening batsmen around the world in all three formats. One, he’s got a lot of size on his side, and a lot of power on his side, so he’s able to pick up three-pound bats, which we can’t, but the way that he came out, from his career, from the get-go, he just put fear in the bowler’s minds and he was able to intimidate, and he’s had a great career, I respect that immensely, and I’m just proud to watch him and be a part of a team as well, I managed to play with him which was great. Awesome competitor and a great entertainer.”*
