مصطفى محمد: الأسطورة حسام حسن حقق حلم والدي.. وأريد الفوز بـ كأس العالم

كشف مصطفى محمد مهاجم نانت الفرنسي، عن تفاصيل علاقته مع حسام حسن المدير الفني لـ منتخب مصر الأول، موضحًا طموحاته مع الفراعنة حال التأهل إلى منافسات بطولة كأس العالم 2026.

منتخب مصر حقق انتصارين على إثيوبيا وسيراليون، في التوقف الأخير الخاص بشهر مارس، وتصدر مجموعته في تصفيات كأس العالم، برصيد 16 نقطة.

ويتواجد منتخب مصر في المجموعة الأولى من تصفيات كأس العالم، بجانب منتخبات إثيوبيا وسيراليون وبوركينا فاسو وغينيا بيساو وجيبوتي.

وقال مصطفى محمد في تصريحات للموقع الرسمي للاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم “فيفا”: “لا يوجد فرق كبير بين التسجيل للأهداف مع نانت أو منتخب مصر؛ هذا عملي وأبذل قصارى جهدي لتسجيل الأهداف، عندما أسجل، أساعد الفريق وأجعل الجماهير يشعرون بالسعادة”.

وأردف: “في نانت، أُسعد 40 ألف مشجع في ملعب لا بوجوار، أما في مصر، أُسعد 100 مليون شخص، الفرق يكمن في عدد الأشخاص الذين يشعرون بالسعادة عندما أسجل”.

وبسؤاله عن سعادته الشخصية مع منتخب مصر، أجاب: “إنه لمن دواعي سروري دائمًا الانضمام إلى منتخب مصر، أحب ارتداء قميص مصر، وأعتبر نفسي محظوظًا باللعب في صفوفه، لأن الكثيرين لا يستطيعون ذلك، لذلك أحاول أن أبذل قصارى جهدي”.

وعن رأيه في حسام حسن المدير الفني لمنتخب مصر: “والدي كان يرغب دائمًا في أن ألتقي مع حسام حسن، وكان يقول لي (سيعلمك الكثير)، لأنه كان أفضل مهاجم في تاريخ مصر، إنه أسطورة”.

واستطرد: “بعد أن قابلت حسام حسن، اتصلت بوالدي وقلت له (لابد أن تكون سعيدًا الآن، لقد تحقق أحد أحلامك، لقد التقيت بحسام حسن للتو)، وإنه مدربي الآن، ماذا تريدني أن أفعل؟، أجاب والدي (فقط تعلم، واستمع، وحاول أن تبذل قصارى جهدك لتكون مثله)”.

وواصل: “لذلك هذا ما أفعله وأحاول أن أتعلم كل شيء منه، ويمنحني المعلومات دائمًا عما يمكنني فعله، وكيفية التحرك، والتسجيل، والتعامل مع الكرة داخل منطقة الجزاء، والتسديد، وإنني أتحدث معه كثيرًا”.

وبشأن احتفاله مع نجله بعد تسجيله لهدف مع نانت، أردف: “نعم، كنت قد وعدته بالاحتفال معه عندما أسجل، نحن نلعب دائمًا معًا في الحديقة أو في المنزل، وهو يحب كرة القدم، لست متأكدًا من فهمه لما كان يحدث لأنه يبلغ من العمر أربع سنوات فقط”.

وأشار: “وبعد المباراة، ذهبنا أيضًا للاحتفال مع الجماهير، شاهدنا الاحتفال مرة أخرى في ذلك اليوم على شاشة التلفاز وفي اليوم التالي! قلت له (تعال وارقص معي كما نفعل مع الجماهير) لقد كان يومًا جميلًا”.

وحول قدوته في خلال فترة نشأته، أوضح مصطفى محمد: “عمرو زكي، كان يلعب لنادي الزمالك واحترف في إنجلترا عبر بوابة نادي ويجان، لقد سجل 10 أهداف في 10 مباريات، ولقد لعب بشكل جيد للغاية مع منتخب مصر أيضًا”.

وأكمل: “عندما كنت أصغر سنًا أحببت محمد زيدان، ومن خارج مصر، كنت معجبًا بواين روني، ودروجبا وإيتو”.

ما هي أفضل ذكرياتك عن بطولة كأس العالم؟، أجاب: “بالنسبة لي، أفضل مباراة في كأس العالم هي نهائي النسخة الأخيرة، الأرجنتين ضد فرنسا، أنا أحب ميسي، وكانت مباراة كبيرة”.

وزاد: “لن أنسى هذه المباراة وهذه البطولة مطلقًا، أتذكر شعوري بالحزن أحيانًا لعدم مشاركتنا، وقد كنا قريبين للغاية من التواجد هناك، ولكن في النهاية، كانت المباراة النهائية رائعة، وأتذكر أيضًا نهائي عام 2006 حيث سجل زين الدين زيدان ضد إيطاليا، لقد أحببت تلك المباراة”.

وعن طموحاته حال التأهل إلى كأس العالم 2026؟، أضاف: “أريد الوصول إلى النهائي، وأريد الفوز بكأس العالم، وأحيانًا، تحتاج إلى الحظ، ستكون لحظة رائعة، وبالنسبة لأنها ستكون مشاركتي الأولى في كأس العالم، آمل أن ألعب، وأسجل، وأن أفوز بالبطولة”.

Spurs could unleash their new Kane, Son & Dele in exciting young trio

da roleta: Tottenham Hotspur have never had it so good as they did during Mauricio Pochettino’s reign between 2014 and 2019.

da bet nacional: During that spell, Spurs reached a League Cup final and the Champions League final, while establishing themselves as one of the best sides in the Premier League, finishing outside the top four just once between 2015 and 2019.

The Argentinian built a solid team that perhaps could count themselves unlucky to not win a major trophy during his spell in charge.

He did form one of the finest triumvirates in the club’s recent history, however, as Harry Kane, Heung-min Son and Dele Ali all thrived under Pochettino.

Kane went from plucky academy talent to one of the best strikers in the world, while Pochettino also managed to bring out the best in Son and Alli during his time managing the pair.

Ange Postecoglou can now only call upon the services of the South Korean star, as both Kane and Alli have since departed the North London side.

Ange Postecoglou and James Maddison celebrate

Under the inspired leadership of the former Southampton manager, Alli registered 103 goal contributions, while Kane and Son registered 196 and 110 respectively, clearly proving how good Pochettino was for the trio.

The club haven’t had three players quite link up in the final third like those three, something which Ange will be desperate to do sooner rather than later.

He could turn to some of the club's hottest young talent to solve that problem. Here's three players vying to be Tottenham's next superstars…

1 Mikey Moore – the next Harry Kane

Kane had to bide his time during his early years at Spurs, going out on several loans before finally grabbing his chance during the 2014/15 season under Pochettino and finally utilising his talents.

Mikey Moore is certainly built similarly to the England icon, showcasing a keen eye for goal during his appearances for the U18 side since the start of the 2022/23 campaign.

For the U18 age group, Moore has been deployed as both a left-winger and centre-forward, scoring 19 goals in just 24 matches, along with chipping in with 13 assists, not a bad set of numbers for a 17-year-old.

Mikey Moore makes his Tottenham debut

During the U17 European Championship, the teenager scored four goals in four games for England, grabbing an assist too, as he demonstrated his qualities on the international stage.

Ange clearly has high hopes for Moore as he gave him his senior debut towards the end of last season, bringing on the teenager in games against Manchester City and Sheffield United, offering him the opportunity to play for the senior side.

With the club in four competitions this term, expect plenty more chances for the young forward as the season progresses.

2 Wilson Odobert – the next Heung-min Son

The Frenchman began his career at Paris Saint-Germain, emerging through the youth system as one of their most promising wingers.

Across 30 games for the U19 and Youth League sides in 2021/22, Odobert scored 19 times and registered four assists, which gave him all the confidence needed to flourish during a loan spell with Troyes the season after.

Wilson Odobert

This allowed him to seal a move to Burnley last summer. Despite the fact they were relegated, Odobert still managed to score three goals and grab three assists, which attracted attention from Spurs.

The North London side splashed out £25m to bring him to the club, which looked like it was going to be an investment for the future.

Last term, the 19-year-old created seven big chances in the Premier League, while also averaging 1.1 key passes and succeeding with 1.8 dribbles per game.

These statistics could eventually see him become the ideal heir for Son in the Spurs starting XI, as his potential, noticeably in possession of the ball, is limitless.

Despite playing only 66 minutes for his new club, Odobert has still managed to make one key pass and succeed with two dribbles in their win over Everton recently.

Pressure shouldn’t be placed on his shoulders right now, but if the French gem can settle in and hit the ground running, Spurs may have another talented winger on their hands.

3 Lucas Bergvall – the next Dele Alli

The 18-year-old attacking midfielder joined Spurs this summer having initially agreed a deal to sign for the London side back in February from Djurgarden in the Swedish top flight.

His spell with the club clearly attracted plenty of attention as he scored nine times and chipped in with six assists across all competitions and these sorts of numbers could certainly see the teenager emerging as a player similar to Alli at Spurs. Out of sorts now, the England international is cut from a similar cloth, both capable of finding the net and assisting teammates on a regular basis.

Such is his immense promise and wonderful pre-season, Bergvall has been called up to the Sweden national side for the very first time, signifying that Ange has a prodigious talent at his disposal.

The youngster looked bright on his first appearance for the club, coming on for the final 12 minutes against Leicester City in the first Premier League match of the season.

Despite his limited chance to shine, Bergvall still managed to make a key pass and created a big chance, while finishing the game with a 96% pass success rate and succeeding with two of his three dribbles.

A promising debut indeed, and it gives Ange an indication of what he could expect in the near future.

This trio of young talents could begin to make an impression in the first-team squad throughout the 2024/25 campaign, giving the boss plenty of options to call upon.

While they may not live up to the reputation of Kane, Son and Alli, the three players are among some of the finest prodigies the club has had in a few years and look like a fine crop of young talents.

Man Utd now expected to sign "magnificent" 23 y/o for potential £51m fee

da aposte e ganhe: Manchester United are now expected to complete the signing of a "magnificent" player, with the individual in question "waiting" to leave his current club.

Man Utd eyeing late summer signings

da fazobetai: This has been an impressive summer transfer window at Old Trafford, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe well aware that significant additions were needed at the end of last season, even though the campaign ended with the Red Devils winning the FA Cup after beating Manchester City in the final.

Joshua Zirkzee has come in as an exciting attacking addition, scoring the winning goal on his debut against Fulham last week, while Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt are eye-catching defensive signings. There is still time for United to bring in further reinforcements, with midfield an area of the pitch that needs addressing.

Manchester United's Joshua Zirkzee scores vs Fulham

Young Malian ace Sekou Kone has been strongly linked with a move to the Red Devils, and while he wouldn't come in as an immediate starter for Erik ten Hag, he could blossom into a potential long-term replacement for the ageing Casemiro.

While Yoro and De Ligt have arrived to make United a more considerable force at the back, they have also been linked with a summer move for Barcelona defender Andreas Christensen. The Dane knows the Premier League well from his time at Chelsea, and he could be another shrewd addition.

Man Utd expect to sign "magnificent" ace

According to journalist Fabrice Hawkins on X [via Sport Witness], as well as a further update from L'Equipe, Manchester United are expected to sign Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, in a boost for Ratcliffe.

Hawkins claims that the 23-year-old is "due to leave" for Old Trafford, having been left out of his side's Ligue 1 clash with Montpellier on Friday evening, and he is now "waiting" to move on. There is "no longer any doubt" about his future, as his agent Jorge Mendes looks to get a deal over the line.

Manuel Ugarte for PSG

It is said that while the clubs intend to shake hands on a deal in the coming days, the fundamentals of an agreement include a loan with an obligation to buy for €60m (£51m). While PSG are thought to be keen on doing a straight deal for that price, United appear hesitant to bid that high at this stage.

It would now be a real surprise if Ugarte didn't trade PSG for United this summer, considering how long they have tracked him for, not to mention the fact that he seems to have been deemed surplus to requirements by Luis Enrique.

The Uruguay international is exactly what Ten Hag is crying out for at the base of his midfield, coming in as a far younger option than Casemiro, that would provide far more energy and tenacity, which will hopefully give the defence more protection in the process.

Ugarte is an impressive footballer, averaging 4.2 tackles per game in six appearances for Uruguay at Copa America earlier in the summer, while PSG boss Enrique has hailed him as "magnificent, with and without the ball" in the past, clearly rating him before it became clear that he wanted to move on.

سلوت يتحدث عن قوة محمد صلاح وجوتا ويؤكد: ليفربول لا يعتمد على الاحتمالات

كشف المدير الفني للفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي ليفربول، آرني سلوت، عن استعدادات الريدز لمباراة فولهام في الجولة الحادية والثلاثين من بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي.

ويلتقي ليفربول وفولهام يوم، الأحد المقبل، في تمام الساعة الثالثة عصرًا بتوقيت “القاهرة” على ملعب “كرافين كوتدج” في العاصمة “لندن”.

وأجرى سلوت مؤتمرًا صحفيًا اليوم، الخميس، قبل المباراة للحديث عن الاستعدادات مع إشادته بلاعبين مثل محمد صلاح وديوجو جوتا.

بدأ الهولندي بالحديث عن اعتراف لجنة الحكام بشأن طرد جيمس تاركوفسكي مدافع إيفرتون، وقال: “من الجيد دائمًا أن يعترفوا بالخطأ إذا اعتقدوا أنه كان هناك خطأ، نحن جميعًا نرتكب أخطاء، سواء أنا أو الحكام، لكن كان القرار ضبابيًا وكان الكثير من المحللين متفقين على ذلك”.

وعن هدف ديوجو جوتا: “لقد تلقيت هدفًا مشابهًا خلال وجودي مع فينورد ضد أتلتيكو مدريد، حيث رفع الحكم المساعد الراية، ولكن تقنية الفيديو أكدت أن اللاعب لم يكن في موقف تسلل، لم أوافق على ذلك القرار تمامًا”.

ورأيه في تلك القاعدة: “تم تنفيذ القاعدة بشكل جيد لصالحنا، ولكنني لا أحبها”.

وتحدث سلوت عن سباق لقب الدوري الإنجليزي: “الكثير يمكن أن يحدث، شعرنا بالأمس بصعوبة تحقيق الفوز في الدوري الإنجليزي، ديفيد مويس يستحق الثناء على الطريقة التي خطط بها فريقه”.

وعن مباراة فولهام القادمة: “مع ثمانية مباريات متبقية، كل مباراة تمثل تحديًا بالنسبة لنا في ليفربول، نحن لا نعتمد على احتمالات، علينا أن نكون في أفضل حالاتنا، مثلما كان أمس، للحصول على النتيجة التي نريدها”.

وعاد الهولندي للحديث عن جوتا: “أحد أهم صفاته أنه يفكر بهدوء عندما تسنح أمامه فرصة للتسجيل، يمكنه تحديد المكان الذي يجب أن يسدد فيه الكرة، محمد صلاح مثال على ذلك أيضًا”.

وانتقل سلوت للحديث عن اعتماد على كورتيس جونز في مركز الظهير الأيمن أمام إيفرتون: “ترينت ألكسندر أرنولد وجو جوميز لن يعودا قريبًا، كونور علينا الانتظار لمعرفة حالته حتى الأحد، كورتيس وجاريل كوانساه قدما مستوى جيدًا، بينما أليسون يحتاج للتأكد من جاهزيته قبل مباراة فولهام”.

وعن مباراة فولهام في ديسمبر: “كان أحد لاعبيهم يستحق الطرد في الشوط الأول، لكن ما أتذكره جيدًا عن تلك المواجهة هو أننا قدمنا أداءً رائعًا بعشرة لاعبين، وفولهام فريق قوي”.

وصعوبة المباريات: “ثلاث أو أربع مباريات كانت سهلة على مدار الموسم، لكن معظم المباريات كانت متقاربة، وهنا يجب أن أشيد باللاعبين الذين قاتلوا من أجل الفوز”.

وعودة جوتا: “افتقدنا أفضل نسخة من ديوجو لمدة خمسة أشهر، اللاعبين المصابين يحتاجون وقتًا للعودة لمستوى الدوري الإنجليزي”.

وعن مباريات ليفربول المتبقية في الموسم: “كنت سأحب اللعب في ربع نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا، ولكننا لعبنا ضد باريس سان جيرمان وخرجنا، الآن يجب على اللاعبين بذل جهد أكبر في التدريبات”.

Flamengo alcança faturamento recorde em 2021 com mais de R$ 1 bilhão; veja os números completos

MatériaMais Notícias

da bet7: O Flamengo publicou, nesta quinta-feira, o demonstração financeira do ano de 2021, no qual o clube bateu um recorde. O faturamento do Rubro-Negro na última temporada alcançou R$ 1 bilhão e 82 milhões, o maior valor atingido na história do Flamengo e inédito no futebol brasileiro. Vale ressaltar que este valor foi alcançado devido à contabilização de parte do Campeonato Brasileiro de 2020, que “invadiu” o ano seguinte por conta da pandemia de coronavírus.

da stake casino: De acordo com o documento, não fosse por essa peculiaridade, a receita do clube alcançaria os R$ 992 milhões, o que já representaria um crescimento de 31% em relação ao ano de 2020 (R$ 759 milhões) e de 4% em relação ao ano de 2019 (R$ 950 milhões). Confira detalhes sobre os números do balanço abaixo!

O clube registrou crescimento nas receitas oriundas de broadcast (direitos de transmissão e premiações); comercial (patrocínios, licenciamento e royalties); e atletas (venda, empréstimo e mecanismo de solidariedade) em relação à 2021.

-Este crescimento de 4% em relação a 2019 é importante, tendo em vista
que 2021 ainda foi um ano com fortes impactos da pandemia, tanto pelos jogosdisputados com portões fechados ou restrição da capacidade de público em boaparte do ano levando a uma perda acima de 100 milhões em receitas dematchday, mas também pelo fato de que, em 2019, o Clube teve um
desempenho esportivo extraordinário, sagrando-se campeão da Copa
Libertadores e do Campeonato Brasileiro – diz trecho do balanço financeiro.

Se o faturamento foi recorde positivo, a dívida do Flamengo foi em outra direção. O endividamento líquido operacional caiu de R$ 480 milhões em 2020 para R$ 263 milhões em 2021, que é é o segundo menor da série desde 2013, em um nível semelhante ao endividamento líquido operacional do ano de 2017.

-A métrica de endividamento líquido operacional é o principal indicador de
endividamento monitorado pelo Clube. No cálculo, são considerados todos os
itens do passivo que efetivamente o Clube tem que pagar, incluindo aquisição
de atletas, fornecedores, empréstimos, obrigações trabalhistas e tributos,
excluindo-se valores de adiantamentos e provisões para contingências. Deste
valor, substraem-se os valores em caixa e os valores a receber pela venda de
atletas e de fornecedores. O endividamento líquido operacional funciona como
um retrato de tudo que o Clube tem a pagar em excesso ao que tem em caixa e
o que tem a receber – explica o demonstrativo financeiro do Flamengo.

O resultado contábil de 2021, de R$ 178 MM, é o maior superavit contábil da história do Flamengo. Mesmo considerando os efeitos da postergação do
Campeonato Brasileiro, o Clube apresentou um resultado em 2021/A de R$ 130 MM, após um prejuízo de R$ 59 MM em 2020/A. Este resultado está no mesmo
patamar do resultado atingido entre 2015 e 2017, período em que o Clube ainda realizava investimentos muito menores no time de futebol profissional.

Joe Clarke's 83 helps revive Stars' campaign

He smashed 83 off 58 to guide Stars past Strikers’ modest 9 for 139 with five balls to spare in a see-saw battle

Joe Clarke returned in style as a strengthened Melbourne Stars revived their grim BBL campaign with a tense five-wicket victory over Adelaide Strikers at the MCG.In a clash between the bottom-placed teams, the English import smashed 83 off 58 balls to guide Stars past Strikers’ modest 9 for 139 with five balls to spare in a see-saw battle.Stars have been decimated due to Covid-19 triggering their slide but received timely additions with the returns of Clarke, stand-in captain Adam Zampa and Beau Webster. In their first match since January 3, Stars were still without captain Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stonis and Nathan Coulter-Nile.Strikers had been mostly unaffected by the Covid-19 chaos engulfing the BBL but top-order batter Matt Renshaw missed the clash after returning a positive PCR test.Clarke leads Stars in tough chase Chasing a modest 140, the same score Sydney Thunder ran down with ease in the earlier match at the ground, Stars were pushed to the distance by a strong Strikers attack. They welcomed the return of Clarke, who was the only Stars batter comfortable on the sluggish pitch.He had been in imperious form with three straight belligerent half-centuries before being struck down with Covid-19 and didn’t miss a beat on return. Stars had been in big trouble at 3 for 43 in the eighth over but Clarke steadied the ship with in-form Hilton Cartwright, one of the few Stars players who hasn’t contracted Covid-19 and he earlier briefly wore a mask in the field.But Cartwright’s dismissal in the 12th over brought Stars to a halt and they needed 31 runs off the final three overs. But Clarke powered them towards victory and survived a contentious no-ball decision for height when he miscued Peter Siddle to mid-off in the penultimate over. He then hit a six to add salt in Strikers’ wounds before departing the next ball with Stars still needing seven runs off as many balls.But Qais Ahmad coolly hit a six off the first ball of the final over before a wide by spinner Matt Short ended a tense match in an anti-climax.Qais Ahmad and Adam Zampa celebrate after the fall of a wicket•Getty Images

Rashid stars but it’s not enough On a slow wicket conducive to grip and turn, Strikers fancied their chances armed with star spinners Rashid Khan and Fawad Ahmed expected to do the bulk of the heavy lifting. Quick Harry Conway though had an impact with the wicket of Clint Hinchliffe in the second over before the spinners worked in tandem after the four-over powerplay.Fawad claimed Nick Larkin first ball and then Rashid picked up Joe Burns to a loose shot as Strikers sensed a stranglehold. But Strikers have been selective with Rashid and he was out of the attack after a couple of overs.Siddle grabbed the crucial wicket of Cartwright and the skipper brought on Rashid to keep on the attack but the star spinner was thwarted. In his first game at the MCG, the Afghan star finished with 1 for 16 off 4 overs as Strikers had to look elsewhere with the game on the line.Short had the tough task of delivering the final over and was unable to be Strikers’ hero as the visitors ultimately rued a dropped catch by Henry Hunt when Clarke was on 42.Zampa shines in comebackZampa had a strong captaincy debut with two wickets as Stars’ trio of spinners relished the favourable conditions with five wickets. Pakistan import Qais was particularly menacing with his flight and sharp turn baffling the batters, including a gem to dismiss Ryan Gibson who was stumped.Left-arm spinner Hinchliffe complemented him with accurate bowling as Stars turned the screw on Strikers. Zampa returned in the penultimate over and snared the key wicket of Jonathan Wells to cap his stellar comeback.Wells holds Strikers together Strikers’ batting has been their bane all season and they were shorthanded without Renshaw at No.3. They lost three wickets cheaply before Wells and youngster Thomas Kelly stabilised the innings by playing cautiously.Kelly has looked the goods in his BBL season debut but once again failed to convert a start falling for 13. It was left to Wells to single-handedly drag Strikers to respectability with a 56-ball 68 where he worked the ball around before accelerating towards the end.The 33-year-old cemented his status as his team’s most reliable batter but needs more support if Strikers – who are now in the bottom place – are going to shake up the playoff race.

West Ham open talks to sign £107,000-per-week international for Lopetegui

Lopetegui's most expensive buy of the window has come in the form of his ex-Wolves captain, Max Kilman, who made a £40 million move to the club and put pen to paper on a seven-year contract last month.

Alongside Kilman, West Ham have also completed deals for winger Crysencio Summerville, centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo, forward Niclas Fullkrug, Brazilian starlet Luis Guillherme, right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, midfielder Guido Rodriguez and back-up goalkeeper Wes Foderingham.

While Lopetegui's side didn't exactly get off to a flying start in their opening Premier League game of the season, losing 2-1 to Aston Villa at the London Stadium, this real squad restructure gives hope to supporters that this campaign could be a very fruitful one.

Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth, speaking to GiveMeSport recently, also suggested that West Ham may not be done in terms of new signings.

"With regards to forwards, it will probably depend on departures in that area," said Sheth.

"We hear a lot about Maxwel Cornet and Danny Ings potentially leaving. Would that be enough for them to go into the market to bring in another player? So it's definitely one to watch."

West Ham have been sporadically linked with a move for Roma striker Tammy Abraham in that regard, alongside Paris-Saint Germain ace Carlos Soler.

West Ham in talks with PSG over signing Carlos Soler

According to reliable French newspaper L'Equipe, the Spain international midfielder is back on Lopetegui's agenda heading into the final phase of this summer window.

They claim West Ham are discussing terms over an agreement for Soler, as they attempt to beat Premier League rivals Brighton to his signature. PSG want around £17 million to sell the 27-year-old outright, but they're currently in negotiations over a move.

Soler made 24 Ligue 1 appearances under Luis Enrique last term, with half of those being full starts. On around £107,000-per-week, according to West Ham insider Sean Whetstone, the former Valencia star has also been called a "lovely" player by football journalist Sid Lowe.

Lyon excited about bowling partnership with Swepson

All of Australia’s away tours in the current WTC cycle are in the subcontinent

Nathan Lyon is excited about the prospect of forming a spin partnership with Mitchell Swepson, but the weather forecast and recent history at the SCG may count against it happening this week against England in the fourth Ashes Test.With the Ashes secured and England providing weak opposition there is a school of thought that the upcoming Test is a prime opportunity to blood Swepson, the Queensland legspinner, ahead of Australia’s overseas campaigns in Pakistan and Sri Lanka later in the year.The emergence of Cameron Green as a viable option for a third quick, having had a major impact with the ball this series, would allow Australia to field a balanced attack. But showers are forecast throughout the contest while the SCG has not been a happy hunting ground for spinners of late.Lyon bagged a 10-wicket match haul against New Zealand in 2019-2020 but averages 40.94 on the ground while over the last decade spinners have averaged 48.17 – the third highest of all Australia’s men’s Test venues.However, Swepson is as ready as he’ll ever be for his chance at Test cricket. With all three of Australia’s World Test Championship away series in the current cycle on the subcontinent, he could have a big say in how the side builds on their Ashes success.”I think Swepo has been Queensland’s best player for a number of years,” Lyon said. “Obviously I’m a big fan of spin bowlers so probably watch him a lot closer than what I watch Marnus [Labuschagne] or Uzzie [Khawaja]. He’s been around our group for a long period of time now and when he gets his opportunity, no doubt he will take it and run.”I’m excited about our relationship, our friendship is fantastic already, but really excited about the opportunity to bowl in tandem with Swepo whenever that may come, whether that’s here in a couple of days or in Hobart or in Pakistan.””I love bowling in partnership with spinners for sure. I’ve done it a lot in subcontinent conditions so if the opportunity does come to play two spinners I know we’ll really enjoy building that partnership. We’ve been doing it in the nets but it’s a lot different.”Usman Khawaja is likely to replace Travis Head in Sydney•Getty Images

Lyon did not believe a dodgy forecast (not entirely unusual for a Sydney Test) had to spell the end of Swepson’s hopes although it strengthens the likelihood that Australia will retain their usual balance. Josh Hazlewood is expected to train fully on Monday as he continues his recovery from the side strain he picked up in Brisbane and it could yet be that Scott Boland does not retain his place despite the 6 for 7 he claimed in Melbourne.”It seems to be every time we put stumps in the ground here it brings the rain which is unfortunate,” Lyon said. “Does it become a bit challenging for spinners? Yeah, it can if the ball gets wet, but we are pretty lucky these days with the quality of the groundskeepers who make the surface pretty dry and the ground drains pretty quickly.”Swepson will only be selected if he is genuinely part of Australia’s best attack to win the match with World Test Championship points available and the hunger to take the series with a whitewash to extend England’s barren streak in Australia that dates back to 2010-11.”There’s no more dead rubbers – and I’ve never considered them when you wear a baggy green – firstly because there’s the World Test Championship and we want to go 5-0 up,” Lyon said. “If the conditions suit then we pick the best team to win that Test to make sure we keep moving forward. The Ashes for me is the pinnacle but I’d love to be part of a Test Championship final to state our case for the No. 1 team in the world.”Australia’s squad will be bolstered on Monday by Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis who were driving up from Melbourne on Sunday – to avoid the risk of a commercial flight – having been added to as cover following Travis Head’s positive Covid-19 result which has ruled him out. Usman Khawaja is expected to come into the XI.Marcus Harris is also driving himself to Sydney having not joined the team’s charter flight as an extra precaution after he dined with Head. Nic Maddinson will remain in Melbourne for now but continues to be a stand-by player. All Australian squad members, staff and families returned negative results in the latest round of testing.This will again be the traditional Pink Test at the SCG which has become a central part of the Australian cricket calendar to raise funds for the Jane McGrath foundation. But Glenn McGrath will be unable to take part in the lead-up activities and at least the first two days having tested positive for Covid-19. It is hoped he may be able to attend by day three on January 7 which is the official Jane McGrath Day.
