In pursuit of further reinforcements in the January transfer window, Liverpool now reportedly want to jump ahead of rivals Manchester United in the race to sign a defensive addition.

Liverpool transfer news

After a quiet summer that saw just Giorgi Mamardashvili and Federico Chiesa arrive, with the former sent straight back on loan to Valencia, Liverpool have turned their attention towards what could be a far busier winter window. What has, of course, helped the Reds to shift their focus so quickly is the strong start that Arne Slot has made to life at Anfield.

The Dutchman has lost just one game so far, which came in shock fashion at home to Nottingham Forest before his side put things right with a midweek victory against AC Milan in the Champions League followed by a routine afternoon against Bournemouth in the Premier League.

Not resting on their laurels though, the Reds reportedly want to sign both a defensive midfielder and a left-back to provide cover for Andy Robertson in 2025, which could see one target arrive.

According to reports relayed by The Express, Liverpool now want to jump ahead of Manchester United to sign Antonee Robinson in a heavyweight battle which could commence as early as the January transfer window.

Looking to land a potential successor for 30-year-old Robertson, Liverpool would be wise to welcome 27-year-old Robinson, who has picked up where he left off in the last campaign to endure an excellent start to the new season at Fulham.

If not replacing Robertson, the Reds could look to land a backup option, perhaps replacing Kostas Tsimikas in the process, Robinson represents an ideal candidate to turn towards.

"Great" Robinson can replace Robertson

To say that Robertson is one the best left-backs that the Premier League has ever seen would be no exaggeration, as time will likely tell, so replacing the Scotland captain will be no easy task. Of course, at 30 years old, he won’t be ready to step aside just yet, but Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes could take advantage of the opportunity to sign Robinson before he heads the way of Old Trafford.

Whilst Robertson remains on top when it comes to his all-round play, Robinson’s two assists in five games highlight that he’d have no trouble in slotting straight into the way of Liverpool full-backs on the opposite side to chief creator Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Fulham boss Marco Silva won’t exactly be keen to lose the American, however, having said via The Express last month: “The way he started last week [vs Man United], he’s a great athlete. He’s a crucial player for us.

“If he keeps improving then it will be another big season ahead for him. A great assist, great decision to do it first time for Iwobi. He has to really like his performance.”

Opening partnership add 243, as hosts crumble to 156 all out in reply

Worcestershire 338 for 7 (Haynes 153, D’Oliveira 123) beat Essex 156 (Wheater 77, Cook 42, D’Oliveira 3-8) by 182 runsJack Haynes and Brett D’Oliveira notched their maiden Royal London Cup centuries during a record first-wicket partnership as Worcestershire Rapids demolished Essex Eagles.Haynes was flawless in his maiden professional ton of 153 while his opening partner’s 123 made him the third generation of D’Oliveira to reached three figures for Worcestershire in the format.Their stand of 243, a best for the first wicket for the county, laid the foundations of a mammoth total of 338 for 7.Essex collapsed to 17 for four in reply, and despite Adam Wheater’s 77, were bowled out for 156 and lost by 182 runs – their highest ever defeat.The Rapids maintained their 100 per cent record in the tournament while the Eagles lost for the first time.Having been put in by Essex, D’Oliveira and Haynes strutted against a depleted home bowling line-up – with Sam Cook at the Hundred and Jamie Porter injuring his side during the victory over Middlesex.D’Oliveira won the race to a half-century, smashing his 54th ball into the Tom Pearce Stand at wide long-on, before Haynes followed in 57 deliveries – for Haynes it was his third fifty in as many innings in the competition.D’Oliveira also reached his hundred first, off 95 balls, but Haynes was quicker, in 91 balls, as both passed the milestone for the first time in professional white-ball cricket.The incredible stand ended on 243, a best for Worcestershire of any stand against Essex, when D’Oliveira picked out wide long-on.That started a wicket tumble as Rapids lost seven wickets for 68 runs in 69 balls.Joe Leach was lbw to Aron Nijjar, Tom Fell was caught on the square leg boundary, Jake Libby was brilliantly run out by Simon Harmer and Ed Barnard was caught behind attempting a reverse sweep.Haynes continued to accelerate, bunting over the long-off boundary and a sweet strike straight down the ground for two sixes – the latter off Shane Snater, who returned Essex’s third most expensive List A bowling figures with his one for 83.The only chance he offered was a diving effort to Jack Plom at backward point on 151 before he was finally stumped off Harmer for 153 off 128 balls.Gareth Roderick scooped to fine leg but Joshua Dell’s 27 off 24 helped Rapids back up to a total befitting the opening stand.Essex’s top-order collapse was even more emphatic as they slumped to 17 for four in the first six overs of the reply.Will Buttleman was yorked fourth ball by Charlie Morris before Joe Leach has Tom Westley bowled, Michael Pepper feathering behind and Ryan ten Doeschate leg before to an in-ducker.Wheater was dropped on 16 and 23 both by Dell at cover during a 70-run stand with Alastair Cook before Ed Barnard took two wickets in two balls – Cook clothing to mid off for 42 and Harmer caught behind – to keep the win predictor firmly pointing towards the visitors.Wheater accelerated after Cook’s dismissal but eventually holed out to long-on, Nijjar holed out to long-on, Snater chipped to midwicket and Plom was stumped – the last three wickets falling to that man D’Oliveira (three for eight).

O diretor de futebol do São Paulo, Carlos Belmonte, atualizou a negociação do Tricolor com o meia-atacante Soteldo, do Toronto. As tratativas são difíceis pelos valores envolvidos e a grave crise financeira que o clube vive.

Segundo Belmonte, o São Paulo consultou equipe canadense por Soteldo, mas com o veto de um empréstimo e a possibilidade somente de compra, as conversas esfriaram. No entanto, Belmonte disse que a negociação não está descartada.

– Soteldo e um jogador que foi para os Estados Unidos. Tivemos uma informação inicialmente, que o Toronto tinha a intenção de emprestá-lo, a partir dessa intenção que chegou a nós tivemos contatos. Conversamos com eles e soubemos que não havia essa intenção, apenas saída em definitivo. Sabemos da nossa situação financeira e esfriou um pouco. Mas não está descartada – disse o dirigente, ao programa ‘G4’ do Band Sports.

A situação do venezuelano é difícil. Soteldo recebe cerca de R$ 2 milhões por mês e não tem intenção de baixar os seus vencimentos. Somente uma composição financeira com um parceiro pode possibilitar a chagada de Soteldo com esse salário. Por isso, o São Paulo vê o negócio como complicado.

Leeds United look set to receive an injury boost when they return to action against Sheffield United after the international break.

The Whites go into this break with a lot of frustration, as they looked on course to seal all three points away at Sunderland on Friday night, but a howler from Illan Meslier snatched a point for the home side in the 97th minute of added time.

It has been a difficult couple of weeks for the Yorkshire side, as while results have improved slightly, unbeaten in their last four games, injury problems have continued to mount up for Daniel Farke, putting a strain on their current squad.

Leeds look set to be without Max Wober, Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev for a sustained period of time, as all three players have picked up significant injuries. These issues have led to speculation that Farke could turn to the free agent market to bolster his options.

The German revealed that he isn’t a big fan of signing players who are still out of contract in October, but it might be something they have to do if there is something out there that fits with them. The Whites have been linked with a move for free agent Christoph Kramer recently, but it appears that a move is unlikely. It has been claimed that Kramer would reject a move to Elland Road as he wants to remain in Germany, given his recent commitments as a TV pundit.

But the urge to sign a free agent might not be needed as much when the Championship action returns after the international break, as Leeds are about to receive an injury boost.

Leeds receive injury boost as £50k-p/w ace to return for Sheff Utd game

According to Leeds Live, Daniel Farke has revealed that Daniel James will likely return from injury for Leeds’ game against Sheffield United after the international break. James, who was described as being “electric” earlier this season by football pundit Sanny Rudravajhala, has been out with a hamstring injury since the end of August.

The Welsh international picked up the injury against Hull City, and now, after a period on the sidelines, he looks set to return to action for their mouth-watering tie against Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United. Farke said on James’ possible return: “Solomon and James will hopefully come back for the Sheffield United game.”

James, who is said to be on a weekly wage of £50,000 at Elland Road, has got one goal in three Championship appearances this season, that goal coming in the 2-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday in August. Leeds have won three of their six league games during James’ absence, and given he started the first three league games, his return will be a welcome boost to Farke, who is suffering with several injury problems. The 26-year-old now has two weeks to get up to speed in training, and he will hope that can help him be in the matchday squad for the game against the Blades.

Attempts to make up for dismal first innings come to naught as home side blown away

David Hopps01-Sep-2021

Nottinghamshire 448 (Patterson-White 101, Clarke 59, Fletcher 51) beat Somerset 107 (Fletcher 4-21) and 181 (Paterson 4-46) by an innings and 160 runsNot enough character, not enough discipline. Tom Abell was distraught over Somerset’s first-innings collapse. If he was that blunt to the media, what did he say in the dressing room? The message was abundantly clear: it was time to regain some respect, to show some discipline, to dig in.The temptation to imagine Somerset’s young thrusters looking in bewilderment at Abell’s instructions was irresistible.”Well, I’ve got this shot where I swivel yards outside off stump and slam it behind square leg for six,” Tom Lammonby might have ventured.”That’s nothing,” Tom Banton might have answered in turn. “I can slog-sweep the quicks over midwicket as well as anyone, if you like.””That’s just too high risk,” says Abell. “I want percentage shots.””Maybe I could swivel, but not so far?” offers Lammonby.”I never really understood percentages,” mutters Banton.More seasoned professionals, who have seen it all before, nod in acquiescence at such moments and privately tell themselves they will bat with serious intent. But while the older players will merely recalibrate slightly for the matches to follow, or just accept it as one of those things, Somerset’s younger pros have a greater challenge to find a workable Championship tempo.Banton and Lammonby have two half-centuries in 28 Championship starts. Banton averages around 21, Lammonby around 15. Banton’s Championship approach looks a bit shot; in fact, even in the shorter formats, the daring with which he burst on to the scene is now tinged with doubt. Lammonby just looks strokeless. Lewis Goldsworthy, too – a third talented young buck, although as yet not so highly feted – has a similar return.Banton and Lammonby are quite rightly regarded as two of the most thrilling white-ball batters to come out of Somerset for many a year. But you could feel their growing pains. Take chances, push the boundaries and make mistakes is the creed that has carried them so far, but bowlers are learning more about their games and, anyway, in the Championship there are deeper truths and they have yet to find them. Certainly, both need more get-out shots, workaday solutions that keep risk to a minimum. But when four-day cricket is not their first love – and no matter how much they keep up appearances it probably isn’t – finding solutions is psychologically even harder. They literally have run before they can walk.It was shortly after 5 o’clock when Somerset were beaten by an innings and 160 runs, dismissed second time around for 181 to follow up their 107 in the first innings. Everybody tried to dig in, nobody succeeded. They lasted 28 overs longer, but the irony was inescapable that their two highest-scoring batters, Jack Leach and Marchant de Lange, got there by accepting the inevitability of defeat and having a bit of a swing after tea.”We could have done that,” one could fancy that Banton and Lammonby mused in unison.For Nottinghamshire, the first phase in this four-game Division One climax could not have been more fruitful. Their first win at Taunton since 1985 was also their biggest victory margin in history against Somerset. Luke Fletcher and Dane Paterson bowled splendidly throughout, both taking seven wickets in the match as they outdid their Somerset counterparts. They began the season without a Championship win for nearly three years and are now very much in the title shake-up.For Somerset, the manner of defeat questioned their Championship credentials in the absence of two key seam-bowling allrounders, Craig Overton and Lewis Gregory. Leach needs a pitch offering some turn, but he is unlikely to get that against Yorkshire at Scarborough next week and when Lancashire come to Taunton the week after they will carry the legspin threat of Matt Parkinson in return.Somerset’s first three wickets fell to excellent deliveries – Steve Davies, edging one from Fletcher that seamed away; Abell, after 11 in 56 balls, edging one from Paterson that this time did not swing in but held its line; James Hildreth leaving Fletcher’s inswinger, his off stump rattled.For a long period on either side of lunch, Paterson to Lammonby was on repeat. Paterson, sensing that Lammonby had eschewed all temptation, repeatedly offered up deliveries wide outside off stump and Lammonby, a tall man crouching forward, let them pass. When Paterson took a breather, he had figures of 9-6-4-1 and Lammonby had failed to score off 23 balls from him, or the same ball, 23 times.Lammonby found some release when Notts skipper, Steven Mullaney, filled in with a few overs of medium pace – he swung it, too – and he also hooked Brett Hutton down to long leg. But on 34, from 95 balls, he pushed at a good ball from Hutton and was caught at first slip.Banton’s demise came when Paterson squared him up to be lbw. It put him out of his misery and that misery must not be allowed to fester. By the end of the over, only a single from Leach had prevented Paterson taking a triple-wicket maiden. Roelof van der Merwe clipped his first ball to square leg and Goldsworthy, another figure of undying responsibility, lost his off stump.Somerset were 86 for 7 after 48.5 overs, a penitent innings that had achieved nothing.Andy Hurry, Somerset’s director of cricket, was left to reflect upon it all. “We were in game on the first day, but Liam Patterson-White’s century took it away from us and since then we have been totally outplayed,” he said. “We came into the game with high expectations, but respect to Notts for how they went about things and we can certainly learn a few lessons from that. There were no redeeming features in our performance. We expect better individually and collectively from Somerset players.”

Sophie Molineux took a nasty blow on the face while Rachael Haynes and Beth Mooney had hamstring concerns

Andrew McGlashan26-Sep-2021

Australia were left with a growing list of injury concerns ahead of the day-night Test against India after they saw their world-record ODI-winning streak halted on 26 matches after more than three years by a narrow two-wicket loss in Mackay.Briefly at one stage, when Sophie Molineux left the field having suffered a nasty blow in the face when a return from the deep jumped from the surface, there were three substitutes in use with Rachael Haynes and Beth Mooney having both picked up hamstring issues.Molineux, the left-arm spinner who has filled the role vacated by the injured Jess Jonassen, bravely returned to the field with a heavily bandaged face to bowl at the death and was likely to require stitches in a cut lip.”It was pretty solid blow, it skipped off the wicket, and got her in the lip,” Meg Lanning said. “Think her teeth are okay which is important. To come back on and fight for the team, she was really brave and couldn’t be more proud of her.”The severity of the injuries to Haynes, who returned for this match after missing the second game due to a blow on the elbow at training, and Mooney had yet to be ascertained when Lanning spoke shortly after the match – Mooney’s had been described as “hamstring awareness” – with a degree of caution being taken due to the proximity of the Test which begins on Thursday.Related

However, the resources in Australia’s large squad are being stretched with legspinner Georgia Wareham sidelined for the final ODI with a quad strain and fast bowler Tayla Vlaeminck not available until the T20Is as she returns from an Achilles niggle picked up late in pre-season. Alongside Jonassen, who is recovering from a stress fracture, Australia were already without Megan Schutt for the entire series.Before the series Lanning and head coach Matthew Mott spoke about how they would need to manage the workload of their young pace bowlers during the multi-format series. Those from Victoria and New South Wales had the added issue of needing to do 14 days hard quarantine in Brisbane.Darcie Brown and Hannah Darlington were both left out of the third ODI having played the first two – with Brown expected to feature in the Test – which paved the way for Stella Campbell to make her debut on Sunday while there was also an impressive return for Annabel Sutherland who could have put herself in contention with 3 for 30.”I think everyone who has come in has played a role and shown some exciting skills,” Lanning said. “It’s great for our future and shows how strong the group is. It’s going to be pretty difficult to pick the team, a lot of young fast bowlers in form.”However, one bowling option currently not in form remains Ellyse Perry who went wicketless through the three ODIs with figures of 0 for 103 from 14 overs. While she was able to find some swing she had trouble controlling the ball and was the culprit for a significant number of the plethora of wides Australia sent down – 67 runs were conceded from wides in the three matches – although there will be more leniency for the bowlers in the Test format.”We’ve bowled a few too many,” Lanning said. “It’s hard, sometimes Midge [Alyssa Healy] comes up to the stumps and you only need a slight miss and it goes for five. It’s a fine balance.”There is no chance of Perry missing the Test, and every chance she will still be handed the new ball, but it will be hoped that the longer game will allow her to settle into a rhythm.Although Australia took some superb catches – notably Sutherland’s to remove Smriti Mandhana and Molly Strano’s to claimed Yastika Bhatia – they were short of their overall best in the field. Having been gifted their own reprieves with the bat, if they had taken the opportunities the streak would still be alive but the 4-2 points margin (and it could easily have been India in front) means things are finally poised heading into the Test.”To be honest there’s some areas to improve in all three areas of our game,” Lanning said. We didn’t take all the chances we had. Still plenty to work on. It was inevitable at some point that we were going to lose again, with the class of the teams out there it’s always close contests, and no easy wins. To have the streak as long as we did I think is an amazing effort over a long period.”
