Forest: Villa name their price for Davis

Aston Villa have reportedly named their price for Nottingham Forest loanee Keinan Davis, amid hopes of keeping the striker at the City Ground on a permanent deal.

What’s the word?

According to BirminghamMail, Villa have made the 24-year-old ‘available for transfer’ this summer, with the Premier League outfit set to demand in the region of £5-£10m from any potential suitors for his services.

The Englishman – who is currently sidelined with a season-ending hamstring injury – is believed to be keen on signing a permanent deal with Steve Cooper’s side, although the report suggests that any transfer may rest on the club’s play-off outcome.

Recent speculation has also suggested that Norwich City boss Dean Smith is seeking a reunion with the player at Carrow Road, with both a loan move and a permanent deal believed to be on the cards.

Get the deal done

As suggested above, Forest’s end to the season could well have a huge bearing on whether or not the deal gets done, although the club should seemingly do all they can to secure the long-term future of a player who has been a revelation since his January arrival.

Davis – whose existing deal with the Midlands outfit expires in 2024 – had netted just six goals in 86 appearances for his parent club prior to linking up with Cooper and co, although has since registered five goals in just 15 Championship games in his temporary home, while also featuring heavily in the clubs run to the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Such form has earned the Stevenage-born star glowing praise from those at the club and afar, with his current boss dubbing him a “powerful player” for his hold up ability, while Birmingham City manager Lee Bowyer also spoke highly of the forward earlier this season.

As quoted by The Athletic, the former Leeds United midfielder said of Davis that: “He is a very, very good player. He is quick, he is powerful and he has a bit of everything. He can play, he can run, he can hold the ball up… he is just a very difficult player to play against.”

The left-footed brute is also clearly more than just an out-and-out goalscorer, having laid on two assists and created six big chances so far this season, as per SofaScore, while he’s also averaged 2.5 dribbles per game.

That all-around ability has ensured the £2.7m-rated striker has the second-highest average match rating among the Forest squad (7.2), having only recently been pipped by fellow loanee James Garner to top spot, while he also received notable praise of late, with broadcaster Darren Fletcher insisting that he has a “touch of Collymore” about him – high praise indeed to be compared to such a club icon.

His absence in the coming weeks could well prove detrimental to the club’s hopes of securing a long-awaited return to the top flight, although no matter what division Cooper’s men are in next season they should seemingly pull out all the stops to ensure it isn’t just a fleeting relationship with the one-time England U20 international.

Palmeiras se reapresenta e só reservas vão a campo

MatériaMais Notícias

O Palmeiras se reapresentou na tarde deste sábado, na Academia de Futebol, e trabalhou apenas com reservas no gramado. Alguns deles devem começar jogando contra o São Caetano, às 20h30 de segunda-feira, no Allianz Parque, já que Roger Machado provavelmente preservará atletas.

Os titulares da vitória por 3 a 0 sobre o Junior Barranquilla-COL, na quinta, fizeram recovery no centro de excelência. O restante do grupo alviverde, incluindo Gustavo Scarpa, Thiago Santos e Guerra (que entraram no decorrer da partida na Colômbia), foi a campo. A atividade foi fechada à imprensa.

O zagueiro Edu Dracena, que sentiu dores no quadril na semana passada, e o lateral-esquerdo Diogo Barbosa, que faz uma espécie de pré-temporada particular após se recuperar de lesão no tornozelo direito, fizeram trabalhos físicos no gramado.

Mayke (torção no tornozelo), Deyverson (cirurgia no pé direito), Jean (cirurgia no joelho direito) e Artur (cirurgia no tornozelo direito) estão no departamento médico.

O técnico Roger Machado e sua comissão comandaram, a princípio, trabalhos de triangulações, trocas de passes e finalizações. Na sequência, foi colocada em prática uma atividade técnica em campo reduzido.

O Verdão encerra a preparação para o embate de segunda na tarde deste domingo, às 15h30, em movimentação novamente fechada para a imprensa.

Sob comando de Dorival, São Paulo tem treino com sustos e sem Nenê

MatériaMais Notícias

Pressionado, sem vencer há três jogos, Dorival Júnior comandou o treino da manhã desta segunda-feira, no CT da Barra Funda, envolvendo os jogadores que não foram titulares no 0 a 0 diante da Ferroviária, nesse domingo, no Morumbi. E a atividade, que não contou com Nenê, em recuperação de pancada recebida na partida, teve quatro sustos.

Os trabalhos foram técnicos, e os problemas com dores dos atletas ocorreram quando os reservas foram divididos em dois times para duelo em campo reduzido. Os primeiros que precisaram de atendimento médico foram o lateral-esquerdo Reinaldo e o atacante Tréllez, que trombaram entre si.

Na sequência, o lateral-esquerdo Júnior Tavares sofreu uma entrada por trás e foi mais um que precisou da entrada dos médicos no gramado. O último foi Brenner, caído no gramado já nos minutos finais dessa atividade. Mas todos se recuperaram em segundos e seguiram treinando sem problemas.

Quem nem apareceu no gramado foi Nenê, que recebeu uma “paulistinha” nesse domingo, ao entrar durante o segundo tempo, no lugar de Valdívia, uma das novidades da escalação diante da Ferroviária. O meia-atacante passou a manhã em tratamento no Reffis e deve ficar à disposição para o jogo de quarta-feira, contra o CRB, no Morumbi, pela Copa do Brasil.

Além do goleiro Sidão, que trabalhou normalmente, o único titular que pisou no campo do CT da Barra Funda foi Rodrigo Caio. Mas o zagueiro somente ficou assistindo à atividade, enquanto os outros titulares fizeram trabalho regenerativo para se recuperar do desgaste da partida de domingo.

O São Paulo vem de derrotas para Santos e Ituano e empatou diante da Ferroviária, mas segue líder do Grupo B do Campeonato Paulista, com 11 pontos. Na quarta-feira, às 19h30, faz o jogo de ida da terceira fase da Copa do Brasil contra o CRB, de Alagoas.

مدرب أمريكا: تنظرنا مباراة صعبة أمام إنجلترا.. وساوثجيت تعرض لضغوط هائلة

يتجه منتخب الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية إلى استاد البيت يوم الجمعة لمواجهة إنجلترا، ويتطلع إلى الاستفادة من تعادله 1-1 مع ويلز، لكن المدرب جريج برهالتر يشعر بالقلق من التهديد الذي يشكله الأسود الثلاثة.

أشاد برهالتر بمدرب إنجلترا جاريث ساوثجيت لما قدمه منذ أن تولى المنصب في عام 2016، قبل أن يقودهم إلى نصف نهائي كأس العالم ونهائي يورو العام الماضي.

قال برهالتر، الذي تم تعيينه في أواخر عام 2018 لإعادة بناء الولايات المتحدة بعد فشله في الوصول إلى كأس العالم في ذلك العام: “أعتقد أنه عندما تولى المنصب لأول مرة، كان الأمر مشابهًا جدًا للموقف الذي توليته لأول مرة”.

مضيفًا في مؤتمره الصحفي: “محاولة إعادة تشكيل هوية الفريق، وإعادة التركيز، والعمل مع مجموعة أصغر من اللاعبين، لذلك في هذه الحالة متشابهة للغاية”.

واصل برهالتر: “مجرد متابعة بعض الأمور خلال الأشهر الماضية، فإن الضغط في وسائل الإعلام الإنجليزية، أو في إنجلترا بشكل عام، هائل وأعتقد أن هذا مختلف”.

وأكمل: “هؤلاء الرجال (في وسائل الإعلام الأمريكية) يعطونني أوقاتًا عصيبة من حين لآخر، لكنني لا أعتقد أنها تعادل ما يحصل عليه ساوثجيت، لكننا نعلم جميعًا أن هذا عمل موجه نحو النتائج، ونحن جميعًا مسؤولون عن النتائج في هذا المجال”.

تابع مدرب أمريكا: “أعتقد أنه قام بعمل رائع، لقد كنت أقول على مدار العام ونصف العام الماضي إن سجله في البطولات الكبرى كان رائعًا وليس هناك من ينكر ذلك، احتل المركز الرابع في عام 2018، واحتلال المركز الثاني في يورو”.

وشدد: “لقد قام بعمل رائع مع فريقه، لقد بدأوا بداية رائعة وهم خصم قوي، ستكون مباراة صعبة بالنسبة لنا.”

قبل أربع سنوات اتصل برهالتر بساوثجيت للحصول على المشورة بعد توليه المنصب في الولايات المتحدة.

لقد ظلوا على اتصال منذ ذلك الحين، على الرغم من صعوبة الوصول إلى مدرب إنجلترا منذ قرعة كأس العالم في أبريل الماضي.

علّق برهالتر مبتسما: “لقد كنت أتواصل معه عبر (واتساب) ولكني لم أر علامة التحديد الزرقاء، لذلك لا أعرف ما الذي يحدث (يقصد قراءة ساوثجيت للرسالة)، لقد أخذنا استراحة، ستستأنف صداقتنا بعد غد”.

William Porterfield, the Ireland opening batsman, has left Gloucestershire after signing a three-year deal with Warwickshire. Gloucester have also lost medium-pacer Gemaal Hussain who too is likely to move up to Division One if he joins county champions Nottinghamshire.Gloucester had a disappointing 2009 season, being placed fifth in Division Two after losing nine and winning only six of their matches. Porterfield and Hussain’s departures come in the wake of Steve Kirby and Anthony Ireland’s exits from the county.The county were unhappy with Hussain’s decision but the bowler said he had to make the move if he wanted to improve his chances of playing for England. “I feel I need to challenge myself by playing Division One cricket,” Hussain told the county’s website. Tom Richardson, Gloucestershire’s chief executive, said he didn’t agree with Hussain’s view. “It’s very disappointing as you’ve got this guy who came to us last year from nowhere,” Richardson told . Hussain was the division’s leading wicket-taker with 67 at 22.34 from 15 matches.Porterfield will join his Ireland team-mate Boyd Rankin at Warwickshire. Ashley Giles, Warwickshire’s director of cricket, was pleased with the season’s signings which include Pakistan batsman Younis Khan. “Will has proved his potential at international and domestic level and I believe he has a great deal more to offer.”

Tottenham attempting Torres move

Tottenham Hotspur are now attempting a move for star Villarreal defender Pau Torres as claims emerge from Spain in the last week.

The Lowdown: Lilywhites fail with bid…

Torres, who has been a crucial player under former Arsenal boss Unai Emery at the La Liga side, is absolutely no stranger to Lilywhites supporters.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/tottenham-newest-updates/” title=”Tottenham newest updates…” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Spurs transfer chief Fabio Paratici has held a serious interest in the 25-year-old before with Torres even confirming himself that the club made a summer approach before 2021/2022.

The Spain international claims Tottenham even offered him a better deal in terms of salary than Villarreal.

However, Torres goes on to say that his club’s presence in the Champions League was a deciding factor in rejecting Paratici’s advances.

Now, as per La Razon (via Sport Witness), as Antonio Conte’s side chase qualification for Europe’s most elite competition, they are back in the picture to sign him.

The Latest: Tottenham attempting Torres move…

It is claimed that Spurs are ‘seem to be trying’ to sign the central defender this summer.

As well as this, Villarreal have decided to green-light the player’s summer sale if any interested side can offer around €60 million (£50m).

The Verdict: Get it done?

An accomplished centre-half is reportedly among many of Conte’s transfer demands this summer with The Telegraph believing he could demand as many as six fresh faces.

Bearing this in mind, Paratici and chairman Daniel Levy will have to operate smartly in the market and offload surplus players like Tanguy Ndombele before making such huge investments.

As Spurs allegedly attempt to sign Torres, there is no denying they have a better chance of doing so than last year as things stand, especially as they chase a top-four finish.

His £50m price tag remains a huge obstacle, but if Paratici can work his way around the finances and Tottenham’s homegrown quota problem this summer, there is little denying he would be a major upgrade.

Spain manager Luis Enrique, calling Torres and Aymeric Laporte ‘sensational’ due to their defensive partnership at international level, is arguably proven right by the player’s impressive La Liga stats this season.

Over his 28 league starts, the colossal defender has averaged more successful aerial duels per 90 (1.9) than anyone under Emery whilst also making the second-most clearances behind Raul Albion (WhoScored).

A crucial mainstay, only goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli has played more top flight minutes over 2021/2022, backing just how integral he is to Villarreal.

If Conte can snap him up, there is no reason why he cannot become just as pivotal in north London.

England send bowlers to Brisbane

England have confirmed that their first-choice bowling attack will travel to Brisbane early to prepare for the first Test and therefore miss the final tour match against Australia A in Hobart

England have confirmed that their first-choice bowling attack will travel to Brisbane early to prepare for the first Test and therefore miss the final tour match against Australia A in Hobart. James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Steven Finn and Graeme Swann will leave the main squad on Wednesday and head to Queensland to being their acclimatisation for the opening Ashes encounter.The four bowlers have played in both warm-up games to date against Western Australia and South Australia. Their workload and success has been sufficient for the management to opt for the plan of allowing them extra days in the tropical climate of Brisbane instead the more temperate Tasmania. There had been a suggestion that the rain-hit final day in Adelaide, which allowed England just 20.5 overs in the field second time around, might force a change of plans.”The reasoning is that conditions in Hobart are very different to the ones in Brisbane, and we want to give that group of bowlers a little head start,” Andy Flower, the England coach, said. “They are going three days earlier than the rest of us, and it will also give an opportunity to the other group of bowlers to put their names forward and perform well against Australia A.”Swann has enjoyed the most success with two four-wicket hauls, but the pace bowlers have all shown glimpses of top form during the two matches. Broad began the tour with two wickets in his first over against Western Australia, while Anderson has been consistent and allayed any concerns about the rib fracture he suffered during the training camp in Germany.Finn was the least convincing of the quicks in Perth but has gradually improved during his two outings and came out with impressive reports from Adelaide last week. The management will also be cautious about over-bowling Finn who is still very new to international cricket having played eight Tests.”Obviously, conditions can be quite different up in Brisbane – so we’re getting a bit of a head start and three or four days extra up there,” Broad said. “We’ve had two fantastic games as a bowling group together. Now it’s all about preparation for that first Test match – and I see going up to Brisbane early as a great opportunity to get used to conditions.”The decision to release the main attack, who will travel with the bowling coach David Saker, means England’s back-up players will get a chance to shine against Australia A. Chris Tremlett, Tim Bresnan, Ajmal Shahzad and Monty Panesar will form the bowling group for the four-day game. With an intense schedule of five Tests in six weeks it is highly likely that the reserve pacemen will be needed at some point.”They haven’t had a chance in the middle yet, so they should be desperate to get out there and prove themselves,” Flower said. “Without a doubt, I would say, one or two of those guys are going to be playing Test cricket in the next couple of months – you don’t have situations where the same bowling attack, or certainly not very often, play five Tests in a row.”So it’s a very real situation, an opportunity for them to put their names forward and also an opportunity for them to get bowling into them in preparation for just maybe playing in the first Test.”It is also expected that Eoin Morgan, the spare batsman in the squad, will get his first outing of the tour probably at the expense of Paul Collingwood who hit 94 against South Australia.

مدرب كوريا الجنوبية: نتيجتنا أمام غانا ليست عادلة.. وسنقاتل حتى النهاية ضد البرتغال

يرى باولو بينتو، مدرب منتخب كوريا الجنوبية، أن هزيمتهم في مباراة اليوم أمام منتخب غانا في كأس العالم ليست بالنتيجة العادلة.

وشهد اليوم الإثنين مباراة مثيرة بين كوريا الجنوبية وغانا، حيث فازت الأخيرة بثلاثة أهداف مقابل هدفين.

وقال باولو بينتو في تصريحات بعد المباراة: “لقد فعلنا ما يكفي للفوز بالمباراة، التعادل سيكون غير عادل في رأيي، تمت معاقبتنا لارتكاب بعض الأخطاء الدفاعية، لكن أعتقد بشكل عام أن أداؤنا كان جيدًا على الرغم من الأخطاء”.

وأضاف: “كان لدينا الكثير من الفرص لتغيير النتيجة، وصلنا إلى التعادل بهدفين في الشوط الثاني، لكن بعد ذلك، وبخطأ آخر، استقبلنا الهدف الثالث”.

وواصل: “برأيي النتيجة لم تكن عادلة بالطبع لست سعيدًا، لكني سعيد بأداء اللاعبين وبتصرفات اللاعبين وفخور بهم”.

وأردف: “مواجهة البرتغال؟ سنحاول التحضير للمباراة بأفضل طريقة ممكنة، بالتأكيد لن تكون مباراة سهلة، ضد فريق جيد للغاية، لكنني آمل أن يسير كل شيء على ما يرام”.

Tottenham: Sky share big Spence update

Sky Sports have now shared a major transfer update on Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of exciting Championship starlet Djed Spence.

The Lowdown: Paratici bids made…

The 21-year-old, currently shining on loan at Nottingham Forest from parent club Middlesbrough, has been at the centre of Spurs’ interest in recent months.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/tottenham-newest-updates/” title=”Tottenham newest updates…” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Antonio Conte is reportedly keen to bring in a right-wing-back, and while Spence may well be one more for the future, the Lilywhites have been determined to land him in recent months.

Tottenham chief Fabio Paratici allegedly lodged multiple January bids in an attempt to bring Spence to the Premier League, as per ESPN, with their interest continuing long past winter.

Credible source Jack Rosser of The Evening Standard backs that the north Londoners are set to battle with rivals Arsenal over the homegrown ace’s summer signing.

The Latest: Sky share big update…

Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, taking to Twitter, now claims that Spence has an ‘offer’ from Spurs – but they aren’t the only ones making approaches.

There are as many as five clubs vying for the defender, including Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, but it is believed that Spence has his eye on one move in particular.

Plettenberg explained: “Update Spence: Selling price is €12-15m! It is said that he has got 5 offers. City, Arsenal & Tottenham are among the interested clubs. Djed’s dream is to play for #MUFC one day. He is a fan! Been told there should be still a loose contact with FC Bayern.”

The Verdict: Get it done…

The exciting rising star has been a revelation in England’s second tier and could leave for just £13 million – not to mention his signing would go some way to solving Spurs’ homegrown quota crisis.

Despite his tender age, Spence has proved a ‘massive player’ for Forest over 2021/2022, as claimed by Sky Sports pundit Jobi McAnuff.His WhoScored stats certainly back just how brilliant he has been this season, ranking among Forest’s top-four performers in the Championship going by average match rating.Out of Steve Cooper’s current crop, only forward Keinan Davis has completed more successful take-ons per 90 than Spence domestically (WhoScored) – backing the top talent’s proven attacking threat as an effective RWB.His quality is evident, but given his interesting in moving to Old Trafford and all the fierce competition, it appears Paratici faces a tough task to get the deal done.In other news: Source: Tottenham edge closer to ‘top signing’, he now really wants to join Conte!
