Crysencio Summerville could be trouble for Ian Poveda at Leeds

Leeds United have made some truly impressive signings recently during their iconic rise back into the Premier League. Additions such as Patrick Bamford and Helder Costa heavily contributed to the Whites’ Championship success and whilst Victor Orta and co should be praised for their senior scouting, the player they have been bringing in at the lower age groups are also seriously impressive.

One man who has turned a lot of heads with his most recent performance is 19-year-old Crysencio Summerville.

The teenaged Dutchman arrived at Elland Road from Feyenoord just four months ago, during the elongated summer transfer window. Despite not yet fearing as a senior player for his country, he has represented the Netherlands at an U19 level and boasts an impressive six goals in his five international appearances, as per Transfermarkt.

As reported by the official Leeds Twitter account, the young Whites breezed to a 4-1 win over Burnley U23s, thanks to a goal from Sam Greenwood and a stunning hat-trick from Summerville.

The winger made easy work of bagging his trio of goals in just his third league appearance for his new club. Summerville’s devastating impact on the right wing was far too much for the Clarets and it gave an insight into what fans could expect from the former Feyenoord man at some point in the future.

Marcelo Bielsa’s squad is heavily stacked with talent when it comes to his wide players, particularly on the right-hand side. Helder Costa and Raphinha are currently competing for a spot in the starting lineup, with the latter proving to be a very dangerous asset to the Whites.

He has four goals and four assists to his name so far this season and he famously popped up with a crucial goal against Everton in Leeds’ 1-0 win back in November.

Another man vying for playing time in the senior squad is Ian Poveda. The 20-year-old joined the Yorkshire outfit from Manchester City’s academy last year, but has yet to make his mark on his new club.

According to Transfermarkt, he has made 15 senior appearances under Bielsa so far, but has been unable to show off his creative abilities. With a talent like Summerville setting the youth league alight, Poveda risks being usurped by the youngster if he fails to impress and Leeds’ up and coming wide talent continues to deliver the goods for the U23s.

A franquia da loja Poderoso Timão inaugurada no prédio oeste da Arena Corinthians há três meses atingiu uma marca expressiva no último domingo, data da vitória por 2 a 0 da equipe diante do São Paulo, pela quarta rodada do Campeonato Paulista. De acordo com comunicado da empresa responsável pela operação da loja, a venda de número 10 mil foi realizada no fim de semana, após três meses de fundação. Destas 10 mil vendas, já foram comercializados 29 mil produtos licenciados pelo clube.

Agbonlahor in awe of 2020 West Ham signing

Speaking to Football Insider, talkSPORT regular Gabriel Agbonlahor has been wowed by Jarrod Bowen and has admitted he fully deserves a pay rise in reaction to claims from The Athletic over an increase to his salary – going on to say is it is a ‘great bit of business for West Ham’. 

Bowen has been a mainstay for David Moyes since arriving in 2020, starting 16 Premier League games in total this campaign alone, and reliable journalist David Ornstein claims the attacker has received a significant increase in salary after passing 30 appearances in all competitions for the Irons.

Agbonlahor hails Bowen business

In reaction to this development, Agbonlahor has heaped praise on the ‘great bit of business’ for West Ham with Bowen whilst claiming he will be a ‘star’.

“For me, he’s a quality player,” explained the talkSPORT regular to Football Insider. 

“The pay rise he’s got he deserves because he’s been outstanding this season.

“I’m sure now he just wants to get a few more goals and assists now to back up these great performances because he’s definitely going to be a star.

“It’s a great bit of business for West Ham.”

Transfer Tavern take

Given Bowen’s contribution for the Hammers this season, scoring four times and grabbing two assists (Whoscored), it’s hard to argue with the former Premier League striker’s assessment – and he is fully deserving of his reward.

Time will tell whether he does become a star for Moyes, but you wouldn’t bet against it based off this season.

ماركا: مانشستر سيتي يرفض ثلاثي برشلونة للتخلي عن فيران توريس

يريد برشلونة التوقيع مع فيران توريس في موسم الانتقالات الشتوي المقبل لتجديد خط هجومه، ومع ذلك لا يزال العمالقة الكتالونيين في وضع مالي محفوف بالمخاطر، مما أجبرهم على البحث عن إدراج لاعبين في تلك الصفقة بدلًا من المال، ومع ذلك لا يهتم مانشستر سيتي بأي شيء.

وذكرت صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية أن برشلونة كان يأمل إدراج لاعبين مثل صامويل أومتيتي أو فيليب كوتينيو أو عثمان ديمبلي في صفقة تبادلية مع مانشستر سيتي من أجل الظفر بخدمات فيران توريس.

وكان برشلونة يأمل في العثور على مشترِي لـ أومتيتي وكوتينيو منذ أكثر من عام، في حين أن تعقد مستقبل ديمبلي في الكامب نو أجبر إدارة النادي الإسباني على البحث عن حلول بديلة إذا يرغم الفرنسي في البقاء.

لم يكن مانشستر سيتي يخطط لخسارة توريس، على الرغم من أنه سيحصل على وقت أكثر من المباريات بشكل لا نهائي في كامب نو، في حين أن وضع رحيم سترلينج يسبب أيضًا صداعًا لمن هم في السلطة في ملعب الاتحاد.

ووضع مانشستر سيتي سعر بيع مهاجم فالنسيا السابق بـ70 مليون يورو، وأكد بيب جوارديولا في تصريحات سابقة له أنه لن يعارض رحيل أي لاعب طالما هو رغب في ذلك، إذا توصلت جميع الأطراف إلى اتفاق.

ومن الصعب على برشلونة الإيفاء بمطالب مانشستر سيتي، حيث تشير التقارير إلى أن عرضهم الأول كان 45 مليون يورو فقط.

كما حدث في الصيف، يقدم برشلونة وجوان لابورتا لاعبين في المقابل من أجل تأمين الانتقالات القادمة، لكنها سياسة لم تسفر عن أي نتائج حتى الآن.

وعلى الرغم من أن مانشستر سيتي ليس لديه أي اهتمام في أولئك، إلا أن برشلونة سيتطلع إلى إدراج أي من كوتينيو أو أومتيتي أو ديمبلي أو كليمنت لينجليه في صفقة فيران توريس.

وأشارت “ماركا” إلى إنه في حال فتح برشلونة الباب أمام أنسو فاتي ليكون جزءًا من تلك الصفقة، سيكون مانشستر سيتي مفتونًا به، ولكنه أمر غير مرجح.

في الوقت الحالي، لا توجد طريقة لاتمام تلك الصفقة في يناير، حيث وصل الوضع إلى ما يبدو أنه طريق مسدود.

واختتمت “ماركا” التقرير بقولها أن اهتمام برشلونة واضح، وكذلك رغبة اللاعب الدولي الإسباني في اللعب مع النادي الكتالوني، ولكن هذين العاملين وحدهما لن يكونا كافيين لفرض صفقة، وهو ما قد يؤدي إلى تأجيلها إلى الصيف القادم.

Gabigol elogia Ricardo Oliveira e faz piada com lance inusitado

MatériaMais Notícias

O Santos sofreu empate em jogo de seis gols contra o Novorizontino na noite de sábado, no interior paulista. O primeiro tento saiu pelos pés de Gabriel, que recebeu uma assistência açucarada de Ricardo Oliveira. O veterano foi lançado do lado esquerdo por Renato, saiu livre na área e tocou para o garoto empurrar para as redes. Autor de quatro gols em 2016, Gabigol não poupou elogios ao veterano.

—Recebi um belo passe para o gol, e essa é uma qualidade do Ricardo Oliveira. Ele é um jogador completo, que faz gols, mas também serve a gente.— disse Gabriel, que também já deu uma assistência na temporada, justamente para o camisa 9.

O garoto de 19 anos não evitou o empate, mas protagonizou um lance um tanto curioso em Novo Horizonte. No início da partida, o atleta foi acuado por um cachorro policial que estava à beira do gramado. Firme na coleira, o Pastor Alemão latiu de maneira ameaçadora e intimidou o jogador, que solicitou a retirada do animal. Passado o susto, Gabriel fez piada com a situação.

— Fui começar a jogada, fiquei bem no canto, aí ele latiu para mim e fiquei meio com medo. Achei que ele ia me atacar e pedi para tirarem ele de perto. Mas acho que ele só estava me marcando também.— brincou.

Líder do Grupo A do Paulistão, com oito pontos, o Peixe terá uma semana de trabalho para ajustar a equipe. O próximo compromisso será o clássico contra o Palmeiras, no próximo sábado, no Allianz Parque. Será o primeiro confronto entre as equipes desde a final da Copa do Brasil.

Fabio Silva targeted as Wolves edge Chorley

Many Wolves fans were raging with the performance of striker Fabio Silva after his side’s 1-0 win against Chorley on Friday night.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side advanced to the next round of the FA Cup, but in rather unspectacular fashion, having only managed to record one shot on target against a team five leagues below the Black Country club.

More specifically, it was in the attacking department where scrutiny was deservedly aimed. Fabio Silva was one of those targeted following his £35.6m summer move from FC Porto.

Per Sofascore, Silva failed to register a shot on target, lost all of his aerial duels and did not even attempt a single dribble.

Because of the calibre of opposition, supporters were incensed with the lack of attacking prowess from the Portuguese striker and admitted they had run out of excuses for the new boy.

Flamengo prioriza Rio, espera tabela e vê Mané Garrincha com bons olhos

MatériaMais Notícias

A cobrança do técnico Muricy Ramalho ao presidente Eduardo Bandeira de Mello por uma definição sobre a casa do Flamengo na temporada surtiu efeito. Não à toa, o tema foi mais comentado do que a vitória no clássico sobre o Fluminense, em Brasília, momentos antes da coletiva do treinador. Ontem, a diretoria se manifestou sobre o tema. Com a dificuldade de encontrar um estádio que alie logística e rentabilidade no Rio, o Mané Garrincha ganha força.

Tudo isso, entretanto, só será confirmado depois que sair a tabela do Campeonato Brasileiro, no início de março. Com ela, a diretoria vai traçar a logística ideal e resolver de uma vez por todas o caso.

– Na verdade, o que temos é o problema de não ter um estádio de grande porte no Rio. Estamos correndo atrás para definir a melhor opção e isso inclui o lado esportivo, dependente de uma logística que desgaste menos a equipe para que tenhamos o melhor desempenho. Tudo isso aliado aos interesses financeiros e comerciais. Nossa ideia é que até meados de março esteja definido – comentou o diretor geral rubro-negro, Fred Luz, ao L!.

Há quem diga que a logística para Brasília – uma hora e meia de voo – é quase a mesma de jogar em Volta Redonda – duas horas de ônibus. Pesa a favor da capital o aspecto financeiro. O Raulino abriga 20 mil pessoas. O Mané Garrincha tem capacidade de 70 mil. Bandeira vê Brasília com bons olhos.

– Acho que é uma possibilidade concreta de jogarmos muitas vezes lá. Teremos este problema de deslocamento causados pela indisponibilidade do Maracanã. Temos que encontrar solução que concilie as partes técnica e financeira. O Mané Garrincha é uma solução bem possível, mas vamos aguardar a tabela do Brasileirão – disse.

LUSO-BRASILEIRO NÃO ESTÁ DESCARTADO, MAS É DIFÍCIL

O Flamengo ainda não descartou a utilização do Luso-Brasileiro, na Ilha do Governador, em 2016. Na teoria, o projeto é o ideal para a logística, já que não seria necessário viajar para disputar partidas. Todavia, na prática, existe dificuldade grande para angariar fundos que ajudem na reforma. Algumas conversas com o governo do Estado aconteceram, mas nada ficou definido.

– Ainda existe essa possibilidade. Estamos trabalhando em conjunto com o governo do Estado, mas é um assunto complexo e, por isso, temos que buscar viabilidade e opções – disse o diretor geral Fred Luz.

O tema surgiu ainda no ano passado, quando foi levantada a possibilidade de ampliar a capacidade do estádio para 20 ou 30 mil pessoas em um acordo que também envolveria Botafogo e Fluminense. Até hoje, entretanto, nada ficou definido.

Enquanto isso, o Rubro-Negro deve seguir mandando alguns jogos do Carioca no Raulino de Oliveira e estudando a possibilidade de levar clássicos para fora do Rio de Janeiro, como fez com o Fluminense.

كانافارو يختار المرشح الأقوى للفوز بـ دوري أبطال أوروبا

كشف مدافع منتخب إيطاليا الأسبق وصاحب الكرة الذهبية لعام 2006، فابيو كانافارو، عن المرشح الأقوى من الفرق المتنافسة في بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا هذا الموسم للفوز باللقب.

تشيلسي هو صاحب اللقب في الوقت الحالي، بعدما فاز على مانشستر سيتي في نهائي النسخة الماضية بنتيجة 1-0 تحت قيادة المدير الفني توماس توخيل.

وتحدث الإيطالي الدولي السابق عن مرشحه خلال حواره مع شبكة “Walfoot” البلجيكية، وقال: “أعتقد أن تشيلسي يمكنه الفوز مرة أخرى باللقب”.

وتابع: “لديهم مدرب رائع مثل توماس توخيل، بالإضافة إلى أن تشيلسي يمتلك فريقًا جيدًا للغاية”.

وأضاف: “نجح ريال مدريد في الفوز بالبطولة 3 مرات متتالية، وكان إنجاز تاريخي للنادي وزين الدين زيدان”.

وواصل تصريحاته: “لكن للفوز ببطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا، فأنت بحاجة إلى الكثير من الأشياء لتصل إلى هدفك، بالنسبة لي، الأندية الإنجليزية هي من لديها كل الإمكانيات القادرة على تحقيق اللقب”.

Ralf Rangnick could revolutionise Celtic

In recent months, a whole host of managers have been tipped to replace Neil Lennon at Celtic.

The Northern Irishman has endured a torrid season at Parkhead, one that sees his team sit a massive 23 points behind Rangers in their quest for the SPFL crown.

They were dumped out of both the Champions League and Europa League while they have shipped goals at will. They have conceded 13 more than the Gers despite playing two fewer matches.

Eddie Howe was one of the first names to be put on Celtic’s radar but Frank Lampard and Rafa Benitez have also been touted.

Though, we want to focus on a man first discussed in the same breath as the Hoops back in November. That happens to be 62-year-old Ralf Rangnick.

Some Celtic supporters have been crying out for the German to replace Lennon and after he rejected the chance to manage Chelsea, he is still available on the managerial market.

Commentator Derek Rae revealed last year that for the Bhoys to get him, it would have to be a project that really interests him, one that allows the coach to do things his way.

At first glance, this doesn’t put Celtic in a good spot. After all, Nick Hammond does the recruitment while Peter Lawwell and Dermot Desmond make all the decisions at the highest level.

However, if Desmond can lure Rangnick to Parkhead, he could completely revolutionise Celtic. The things he achieved and introduced at RB Leipzig were incredible, but it all spurned from his early days in management.

In the 1990s, the German earned the tag of a “professor.” Take a look at football now and you’ll notice that a host of teams play with a high press. Think Manchester City, Liverpool or even Leeds and Southampton in the Premier League – they all play with that system.

The method of winning the ball back within eight seconds of losing it has become paramount. Though, the ideology behind that was pioneered by Rangnick.

“Five or 10 years ago, you were not afraid of what the other team was doing while you had the ball. Now, most teams in most leagues have some sort of plan for how they can hurt you when they do not have possession,” the veteran coach once documented.

Though not only was he a pioneer on the field, but he also brought in revolutionary methods off it. At Leipzig, he became what German reporter Guido Schafer describes as an “architect.”

He determined the way he wanted Leipzig to play – with a high press – and then set upon signing players to fulfil those needs. Remarkably, every player he wanted to sign was under the age of 23. Rangnick discovered the likes of Naby Keita and Timo Werner, players who quickly became stars in the Bundesliga.

But his eye-catching methods didn’t stop there. He expected players to arrive at training 90 minutes early in order to undergo saliva and blood tests. As a result, he was able to work out how hard his squad would be able to train. They would also test gluten and lactose and consequently tailor diets to each individual’s requirements. He also brought in a sleep coach.

Rangnick is the definition of meticulous and if Desmond could bring him to Celtic, the very face of the football club could change.

He is a pioneer of football and if anyone can revive the Glaswegians, it’s him. He seemed to know exactly what was required in order to take Leipzig up the football pyramid.

Celtic have long failed to capitalise on their dominance and really make a statement in European football. Getting rid of Lennon and hiring Rangnick could finally change that.

AND in other news, £3m Celtic gem could become a star if Desmond hires 42 y/o with “amazing” connections…
