Newcastle eyeing move for "extraordinary" £50k-p/w Ronaldo-esque striker

Newcastle United are now eyeing a move for a striker who drew comparisons to Brazil legend Ronaldo for some of his performances last season, according to a report.

Eddie Howe assessing striker options

Although Alexander Isak’s early goal was ruled out in the 2-0 triumph over Arsenal last night, the Sweden international once again underlined his importance to the team. Isak received praise from Alan Shearer for the way in which he tormented the Gunners’ defence, playing a big part in Newcastle booking their place at Wembley.

However, the striker’s long-term future at St. James’ Park is still in doubt, and his performance last night will only serve to attract the attention of even more of Europe’s top clubs.

As such, Eddie Howe has started to look at potential replacements for the 25-year-old, most recently identifying AFC Bournemouth’s Justin Kluivert as an option, in light of his impressive campaign with the Cherries.

The Boot Room have now dropped another update on a striker the Magpies are interested in, stating they have been keeping a close eye on Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta.

With Mateta yet to sign a new deal at Selhurst Park, he has started to attract the attention of a number of Premier League clubs, with the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea also namechecked in the report.

Palace are still trying to convince the forward to sign a new deal, but his head could be turned, given that some top English and European clubs are considering moves, with the likes of Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen also interested.

Mateta performing very well for Palace

After the Eagles’ very strong end to the 2023-24 campaign, which saw them finish in the top half after winning their last three games, the 27-year-old finished the season on 16 league goals, drawing praise from journalist Rory Smith.

Smith lauded the impact Oliver Glasner had on the Frenchman’s game, saying: “I thought Mateta was a perfectly serviceable target man who did a lot of good stuff that wasn’t really glamorous but wasn’t particularly eye-catching. He looks extraordinary, like original Ronaldo, under Glasner.”

The £50k-per-week forward has continued to impress this season, having now reached double figures for goals in the Premier League, putting himself in a good position to eclipse his goal tally from the previous campaign.

Newcastle’s interest appears to be tentative at this stage, and Howe’s main goal will no doubt be to keep hold of Isak, given the instrumental role the striker has played in his side’s solid Premier League campaign and run to the EFL Cup final.

However, while he is not at Isak’s level, Mateta’s performances since the arrival of Glasner indicate he could be a solid addition to the squad.

Laura Harris celebrates the fastest ever century in WNCL history, scored off just 50 balls•Getty Images

Laura Harris created history by smashing the fastest WNCL century, in just 50 balls, to help Queensland defeat Australian Capital Territory in a rain-reduced clash on the Gold Coast.Harris clubbed eight sixes and eight fours to make a stunning 101 from just 54 balls. Queensland posted 270 for 4 when rain ended their innings after 47 overs, with Mikayla Hinkley finishing on 65 not out. After a lengthy delay, ACT were set 205 in 27 overs and rain ended the match after 20.4 overs with ACT 47 runs short of the DLS par score.Harris’ innings was interrupted by rain, but it didn’t affect her ball-striking. She got off the mark first ball with a powerful pull shot forward of square. From there on, she produced some trademark blows over long-on as well as some stunning reverse sweeps and reverse laps.She did give one tough chance when on 46, with Gabrielle Sutcliffe completely misjudging a skied slog-sweep at deep midwicket. She failed to lay a hand on it as it cleared her head and bounced inside the rope for four to bring up Harris’ 50 off 23 balls. Her second 50 was fractionally slower, off 27 balls, but she brought up her century in style with a towering six over long-on.Hinkley played superbly at the other end as she and Harris shared a 127-run stand in less than 16 overs.ACT’s chase never really got going with the weather only adding to the frustrations. Georgia Prestwidge and Courtney Sippel made early breakthroughs, including the key wicket of Katie Mack, and ACT battled to 106 for 6 after 20.4 overs before rain finally ended proceedings with Queensland well ahead on DLS.Meanwhile, South Australia and the ACT have been penalised for slow over-rates during their WNCL matches on September 25. Following the calculation of allowances, the umpires and match referees found South Australia and the ACT to each be one over behind the expected rate. The two sides have been deducted 0.5 match points on the competition points table, in accordance with the WNCL playing conditions.

Head 152, Warner 106, England 142 all out

The pair put on a stand of 269 in 38.1 overs, falling just short of their own Australian record ODI partnership of 284

Australia 5 for 355 (Head 152, Warner 106, Stone 4-85) beat England 142 (Roy 33, Zampa 4-31) by 221 runs (DLS method)Life after Aaron Finch is proving a breeze for Australia with new opening pair Travis Head and David Warner piling up twin hundreds in a record-breaking partnership to hammer a listless England in the final ODI at the MCG a secure a series whitewash.The pair put on a stand of 269 in 38.1 overs, falling just short of their own Australian record ODI partnership of 284, to underpin Australia’s imposing total of 355 for 5 after the innings was reduced to 48 overs due to rain. They broke a host of records including becoming the second duo in ODI history to post two 250-plus runs stands behind India pair Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly.Head continued his dominant year in ODI cricket scoring 152 from 130 balls, his second century and third overall, while Warner made 106 from 102 to post his first century for Australia in any format since January 2020, breaking a 68-innings drought. Head’s innings was even more extraordinary given he was fighting gastro, having struggled to take on food and fluids pre-game, and was unable to field.England are booked on a 6am flight out of Melbourne on Wednesday morning and played like they were already waiting for it as they slumped to their largest ODI defeat after winning the toss and electing to field. England’s intensity matched that of one of the smallest ODI crowds ever at the MCG of 10,406, on a miserable cold and wet Tuesday night in November, with the dead rubber resembling an Australian domestic one-day fixture. It was the lowest crowd at an MCG ODI since 1979. Two rain interruptions only dampened the mood further. All of England’s bowlers were collared at more than six runs per over. Olly Stone took four of the five wickets to fall but finished with the extraordinary figures of 4 for 85.Their chase was equally poor in pursuit of a DLS-adjusted target of 364, albeit they had the tougher of the batting conditions as the ball nipped and swung under lights. But it didn’t excuse a lack of intent from the top three and then a slew of poor shots from the middle-order as they folded to be bowled out for 142 in just 31.4 overs. Adam Zampa picked up 4 for 31 as all five Australian bowlers shared the wickets. The final margin of 222 runs surpassed England’s previous biggest loss of 219 runs. Australia could have ended the game sooner if they had not dropped four catches.Like Australia, England found some swing early on with the new balls on an overcast afternoon and Head enjoyed several slices of luck. He twice edged behind, flashing hard outside off stump, as one flew safely through a vacant third slip and the other escaped the grasp of Liam Dawson at second as he jumped high to his right. Head was also given out lbw onfield to Chris Woakes but had it overturned on review as it was pitching outside leg.From there Head found another gear, lashing England’s bowlers to all parts of the MCG on what turned into an excellent batting surface. Not even a brief rain delay could slow his momentum.The early swing subsided, and he feasted on the easy pace of England’s seam attack. He smashed 16 fours and four towering sixes, to reach his century off just 92 balls in the 27th over, celebrating by rocking his bat like a baby in acknowledgment of his recently born baby girl.David Warner had the chance to bring out the trademark leap•Getty Images

Warner was the silent partner for a large part of the partnership. He was on 62 when Head reached his century having barely taken a risk. He breezed to his 19th ODI century, punching a gift of a full toss from Stone wide of mid-off and celebrated with his trademark leap. It looked like a statement innings, moving to second on Australia’s all-time ODI centuries list just a day after he had vented his frustration at Cricket Australia for their handling of a review into his lifetime leadership ban.Australia were 217 for 0 at the second drinks break after 34 overs, having not struck a boundary in the previous five overs. Head and Warner then went into party mode smashing 52 from the next 24 balls as Head raced past 150. But both men holed out in the same Stone over to stall Australia’s momentum a touch. A second rain delay cut two overs off the innings and saw Marcus Stoinis fall attempting a wild swipe first ball after the break. But it allowed Mitch Marsh to come in and smash 30 off 16 balls to finish the innings.England never came close to chasing the adjusted target. Dawid Malan was caught behind cheaply while Jason Roy and James Vince opted to dig in rather than hit out as Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins proved extremely challenging under lights. The pressure eventually built as most of England’s batters had one foot on the plane home. Jos Buttler’s wild swipe across the line fourth ball to be caught off a leading edge for just 1, just nine days after holding the T20 World Cup aloft on the same ground, summed up England’s mindset. The game could have ended sooner had Australia’s catching been sharper. Zampa dropped two, including one off his own bowling that cost him three wickets in an over. Steven Smith missed a very difficult diving catch at slip, and substitute fielder Mackenzie Harvey, who was on for most of England’s innings as Head had felt ill after his innings, spilled another challenging chance at deep backward square having held another earlier on.To make matters worse for England, Phil Salt was subbed out of the game with concussion after suffering a head knock and shoulder injury in a fruitless chase and dive to save a boundary. Salt had his left arm in a sling post-match but it is believed to be precautionary. Moeen Ali was subbed into the game having been rested after Buttler returned as captain.

Acordo entre Coritiba e Norwich é elogiado por especialistas

MatériaMais Notícias

Saindo do comum, o Coritiba anunciou uma parceria internacional com o Norwich no início deste mês. Segundo o comunicado oficial do Coxa, a relação entre os dois clubes será trabalhada de maneira estratégica, integrando o departamento de futebol e o de marketing e comunicação.

>LANCE! mostra a lista dos dez jogadores mais valiosos do mundo

Na opinião dos especialistas, esse projeto evidencia a busca dos clubes brasileiros pela profissionalização na área de gestão. E os times europeus podem servir como um espelho, sobretudo aqueles que disputam as principais ligas do futebol mundial, como é o caso do Norwich, que até a temporada passada estava disputando a Premier League.

Para Armênio Neto, especialista em negócios no esporte, o Brasil vive um momento de transformação na indústria do futebol em que a estruturação dentro e fora de campo é fundamental.

– Buscar e trocar conhecimento com times onde a indústria está mais desenvolvida é parte disso. Não importa se o clube é uma SAF ou não, é preciso se aperfeiçoar e evoluir nos processos e governança, seja para atrair investimento ou ser competitivo em um cenário cada vez mais exigente – acrescenta Armênio.

Bernardo Pontes, especialista em marketing esportivo, acredita que essa aproximação pode trazer novos insights para todas as áreas de gestão do clube. Porém, ele também destaca a importância de adquirir conhecimento e elaborar uma estratégia que torne viável a implementação dessas melhorias no cotidiano da equipe brasileira:

– Além da troca de informações, essas parcerias podem contribuir para a internacionalização da marca. Trata-se de um trabalho a longo prazo, que necessita de planejamento e constante aperfeiçoamento. É um movimento que tende a crescer, porque os clubes estão vendo que ainda há um mercado a ser explorado em outros países.

Além dessa integração com o Departamento de Marketing, o Coritiba também pretende enviar jogadores da base em programas de intercâmbio para a Inglaterra nos próximos anos. Júnior Chávare, diretor de futebol com larga experiência em captação de atletas com passagens por Atlético-MG, São Paulo e Grêmio, destaca o diferencial dessa parceria:

– É importante perceber conceitos estando inserido dentro de um clube, sobretudo no futebol inglês, em que as equipes conseguem prevalecer através do profissionalismo. Nesse caso, é uma oportunidade de, efetivamente, conseguir transformar informação em conhecimento. Isso não apenas nas questões táticas e técnicas, mas também nas áreas de fisiologia, nutrição, entre outras. Os dois clubes tendem a ganhar com esta troca de informações e conhecimento.

His value has soared by 126%: Liverpool have hit the jackpot on "machine"

Before Arne Slot, there was Jurgen Klopp.

Over on Merseyside, Liverpool are thriving this season, holding a seven-point lead over Arsenal in the Premier League. The Reds have also reached the final of the Carabao Cup and the last 16 of the Champions League. More on the latter two next month.

Slot has inherited an elite bunch, but his predecessor is hardly the driving force of this campaign. Slot is his own man, painstakingly picked from a shortlist by FSG toward the end of the 2023/24 season, with the American owners now reaping the rich rewards of their decision.

However, it would be remiss not to pay homage to Klopp’s last hurrah. Last season was fun and gripping – Liverpool won the Carabao Cup. But, however, it was the German’s success in the transfer market, rebuilding the midfield, that has had such a profound effect on this iteration.

Jurgen Klopp's last hurrah

Liverpool couldn’t get it wrong. The 2022/23 campaign had seen Liverpool splutter to the finish line like an engine running on fumes. The midfield, chiefly singled out as the crux of the issue, needed refitting.

Jordan Henderson and Fabinho

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner and Naby Keita were all leaving at the end of their contracts, but the sales of captain Jordan Henderson and number six Fabinho to the Saudi Pro League were unanticipated twists.

With Michael Edwards and then Julian Ward gone, Klopp was working with surrogate sporting director Jorg Schmadtke, but after activating Dominik Szoboszlai’s £60m release clause, freeing him from his contract with RB Leipzig and signing Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister for £35m, widely regarded as a bargain, Liverpool looked to have hit the jackpot.

A holding midfielder was still coveted, needed, but after botched bids for Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo, both of whom joined Chelsea, Klopp made the surprising move to sign Wataru Endo from Stuttgart for £16m.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, not least because we can look back and note Endo’s monstrous performance against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final, helping Klopp to win one more piece of silverware and restore Liverpool’s place in the Champions League.

The 2023 summer window is about to close. Liverpool have done their business, and done it well. The midfield was still missing a piece so, a certain something. That something was Ryan Gravenberch.

Ryan Gravenberch's Liverpool journey

On Saturday, September 2, 2023, Gravenberch left Bayern Munich to join Klopp’s Liverpool cause. He signed a five-year deal at Anfield, with the German giants receiving £34m.

Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch

Gravenberch is still only 22 but he’s cultivated a reputation as one of Europe’s most talented young midfielders since leaving Ajax in his homeland, and Klopp took a calculated risk on a multi-functional and gifted player.

However, his impact on Liverpool’s season was marginal, only starting 12 Premier League matches and even being branded a “passenger out of possession” by journalist Danny Corcoran, who also noted that he was “weak in the duel.”

Such issues have been ironed out in a fresh role under Slot’s wing, typically sat deep in the centre of the park, collecting and ferrying the ball into dangerous positions, so crisp and cultured and composed.

As you can see above, the changes have been significant. Gravenberch’s rebirth in Slot’s project has been a surprise to many, for he has long been regarded as a rangy and skilful attacking midfielder, thrusting into the half-spaces and looking to make things happen from an offensive standpoint.

At Bayern, both Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel harboured frustrations about the prospect’s lack of application defensively, stuck between natural-born ability and half-heartedness across the scope of the game, across the grittier and less expansive parts of football.

But this new number-six-but-not-really role at Liverpool has finally given the £150k-per-week star the freedom to perform at a consistent and high level. Finally, at last, Gravenberch is a round peg slotting into a round hole, in fact becoming increasingly important for the Reds.

When Liverpool failed to convince Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi to leave the mountainous Basque County for Merseyside, all felt lost in the prologue of the 2024/25 campaign, but Slot proved from the offing that he’s a resourceful man, a determined gaffer.

Liverpool endured, and oh how they are reaping the rewards. Titles lay on the horizon; you can see them already. Without Gravenberch’s rise and rise, Anfield would be languishing among the Champions League hopefuls – or would be lower still.

The Dutchman’s silky motions – he’s been hailed as a “gliding machine” by podcast host Ilyas Noreaga – and intelligent decisions have seen his market value skyrocket. In fact, CIES Football Observatory’s player valuation model has revealed that Gravenberch currently boasts a market value of £82m, which equates to a 126% rise.

Just for contextualisation, CIES record that he’s currently worth more than superstars such as Alexander Isak, Martin Odegaard and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, which makes for an interesting and conclusive comment on his calibre.

Liverpool reporter DaveOCKOP has even gone as far as to say that Gravenberch “is turning into one of the best midfielders in the world.”

Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch

Perhaps the most exciting part is that Gravenberch still has so much room for growth. He’s already indispensable within Slot’s Liverpool and may just bloom into one of the best players in Europe.

For sure, if he replicates the 2024/25 campaign across each and every year, such a tag will be universally accepted.

Market Movers

Klopp’s last hurrah provided Liverpool with the framework for future success; last season, Gravenberch’s signature felt almost inconsequential, something that would be moved on after a year or two, but here he is, thriving.

Mignon du Preez retires from all international cricket

South Africa batter will continue to be available to play T20 franchise cricket

South Africa batter and former captain Mignon du Preez has announced her retirement from all international T20 cricket. She had already said she was stepping away from the longer formats in April this year, and now she’s retiring from T20 internationals, bringing the curtain down on a South Africa career that spanned just short of 16 years. She willDu Preez, 33, will continue to be available for T20 franchise leagues though. She is currently contracted to Trent Rockets in the Women’s Hundred and Hobart Hurricanes the WBBL.”Fifteen years of international cricket, wow, what a blessing it has been,” du Preez said in a retirement note circulated by Cricket South Africa. “It’s never an easy decision to step away from something you love as much as I love cricket, but I know in my heart that the time is right for me to announce my retirement from all forms of international cricket.”However, I will still continue to play the shorter format of the game in the global leagues until such a time that I am blessed to become a mom and start a family of my own…”I will definitely miss the change-room chats, the off-field friendships from all around the globe, travelling and learning about different cultures. However, I am extremely excited about the next phase of my life together with the ones that I love dearly and that have taken a back seat during the last 15 years of my career.”In April, her Test and ODI retirement was announced following South Africa’s stellar 50-over World Cup campaign in New Zealand, where she helped steer them into their second straight semi-final. The Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in August was her last tournament for South Africa.Having debuted as a 17-year-old in 2007, finishes with 154 ODIs, 114 T20Is and one Test – in which she captained and scored a hundred. She finished as the all-time leading run-scorer for South Africa in ODIs. And, in all, she was a part of seven T20 World Cups, in which she oversaw a period in which South Africa went from being rookies to top contenders.She took over as full-time captain in 2011 and led the team for five years before stepping down to focus on her batting. In all, she led South Africa in 46 ODIs, 50 T20Is and the only Test the team has played since her debut.”This is a bittersweet moment for South African cricket and the world at large as we bid farewell to one of the game’s favourite characters on the international stage,” Enoch Nkwe, CSA’s director of cricket, said.”Over the last 16 years, du Preez’s professionalism and commitment shown towards her country has been exemplary… Her devoted, passionate team-first personality will be sorely missed, and I wish her the very best with the rest of her career and life after the game.”

Sunderland could have their biggest talent since Amad in “one man machine"

Even though they have fallen short of the automatic promotion places in the Championship ever since a crushing late loss away at Leeds United, Regis Le Bris’ Sunderland should still be pleased they’re in the playoff positions.

Just last season, the Wearside outfit slumped to a very disappointing 16th placed finish, but now look nailed on to be competing in the lottery of the playoffs come the close of the enthralling season.

Sunderland manager RegisLeBris on the touchline

The last time Sunderland entered the playoffs, they fell at the semi final stages to Luton Town, but the exploits of loan ace Amad Diallo are still remembered to this day as a standout takeaway from that near-miss campaign.

Amad's standout season at Sunderland

Before going on to make a name for himself at parent employers Manchester United, a far more raw Amad had to cut his teeth out on loan, with the Stadium of Light proving to be a perfect environment for the Ivorian to strut his stuff.

Indeed, from 42 total clashes, the now 22-year-old would manage to fire home 14 strikes to put his team into playoff contention, which included screamers like this one against Wigan Athletic hammering the back of the net on a regular basis.

Sunderland have since tried to tempt the flamboyant winger back to his old haunt, but the United number 16 has never returned back, with his Red Devils career taking flight this season with 12 goal contributions coming his way, before an ankle injury stopped him in his tracks.

Whilst Ruben Amorim will feel downbeat about this situation, Le Bris and Co will believe they’ve struck gold on another star back at the Stadium of Light who is as big a talent as their once beloved loanee.

Amad Diallo for Sunderland

Sunderland's biggest talent since Amad

This star’s tale at the club also began on a loan deal, but unlike Amad upping and leaving, Sunderland managed to tie down this exceptional attacker to a full-time deal for just £3.3m.

That fee already looks like a bargain amount to pay when you consider Wilson Isidor has been leading the line with consistent venom ever since joining the ranks, having made Ethan Ampadu look like a fool in that recent contest at Elland Road with his unwavering strength to powerfully hand his side the lead.

This stunning opener – which ultimately proved to be a positive moment amidst a gutting loss – took Isidor’s goal haul for the season all the way up to a hefty 12, with Sky Sports journalist Dougie Critchley even going as far to label the skilful but strong striker as a “one man machine.”

Capable of scoring an audacious effort much like Amad too, everyone at Sunderland will be hoping these heroics continue as the Black Cats potentially return to the promised land off the back of his golden output.

He will definitely be uttered in the same breath as the memorable Amad if he can help his side leap back up to the Premier League, with more perhaps coming from the Frenchman when the heat is ramped up, considering he has missed a high 16 big chances this season despite his strong goalscoring numbers.

Whatever does happen, Sunderland will just be glad they’ve won such a captivating star on the cheap, instead of just allowing the loanee to return back to their parent side.

Down the line, Isidor could be worth far more than his modest £3.3m fee, especially if he helps the long isolated Black Cats get back on the footballing map with promotion come May.
