Liverpool keen on signing Piotr Zielinski

Liverpool are reportedly willing to rival Manchester City in the race to sign Piotr Zielinski, as their interest in the midfielder returns.

The Lowdown: Former Liverpool target

Earlier in Jurgen Klopp’s reign, the Poland international was endlessly linked as a target for the Anfield boss, but the transfer never ended up coming to fruition.

Zielinski was considered someone who the Liverpool boss was a big admirer of, but he ended up staying put at Udinese despite even posing with the famous red shirt.

The Latest: Reds’ interest returns

Now at Napoli, the 27-year-old has again been tipped to move to the Reds, with Calciomercato [via Sport Witness] claiming that they are ready to rival Manchester City for his signature.

Liverpool are believed to have sent a ‘request for information’ to Napoli, although no official bid has been made yet.

The Verdict: Potential top-class signing

The departure of Gini Wijnaldum does heighten the need for a new central midfielder to come in this summer and Zielinski could be an ideal fit.

The £45million-rated midfielder notched an impressive eight goals and 10 assists in Serie A last season, showing he could add more guile in the middle of the park.

Granted, he may not be as defensively solid as some, averaging just 0.5 tackles and interceptions apiece, but he still possesses a good work-rate and team ethic.

Pakistan likely to win 1st home series in 4 years

The second and final cricket Test between Pakistan and New Zealand begins at the National Stadium from tomorrow (Wednesday) with only one thing uncertain – whether the match will last the scheduled five days

Samiul Hasan08-May-2002The second and final cricket Test between Pakistan and New Zealand begins at the National Stadium from tomorrow (Wednesday) with only one thing uncertain – whether the match will last the scheduled five days.Pakistan have already destroyed the New Zealanders mentally and physically by winning the three one-dayers and the first Test by a record an innings and 324 runs. And all indications are that the home side will also clinch first home series in four years.Paceman Shoaib Akhtar has left terror in New Zealand minds with career-best six for 11 while Inzamam-ul-Haq made them sweat and toil under the tough hot Lahore conditions on way to scoring a magnificent 329 – the 10th highest individual score in the history of the game.The top order, that showed flashes of brilliance against the hapless Kiwis, will be further strengthened by the return of the classy opener Saeed Anwar who will replace Shahid Afridi. And besides Shoaib, the new spin duo of Saqlain Mushtaq and Danish Kaneria have created all sorts of problems while sharing 10 wickets in the match between them.However, all indications are that Danish will sit out and his place will be taken over by 104-Test veteran Wasim Akram. He has been included to exploit the morning and evening sessions which are ideal for swing bowling. Besides, it will also help Pakistan to take advantage of New Zealand’s vulnerability against quality fast bowling.The most satifsying aspect seen about Pakistan team has been the unity, understanding and harmony that has often lacked and led to the tag of under-achievers.Skipper Waqar Younis has succeeded in infusing in the minds of his teammates that they were the best, evident from the fact that they now believe in their abilities.Not to doubt the fighting abilities of the visitors, accustomed to playing without frontline players, they have Mount Everest to climb. But realistically speaking, the tourists’ can only hope for a miracle and pray that Pakistan succumb to their unpredictability and inconsistency.The Black Caps, whose injury list has grown even before the tour began, Tuesday knew that leg-spinner Brooke Walker was also out of the game because of a dislocated finger. They had arrived without Chris Cairns, Shane Bond, Shayne O’Connor and Dion Nash while Nathan Astle and Andre Adams suffered injuries that cut short their tour.The attitude of New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming summmed up the mood of the camp when he refused to host a traditional pre-Test press conference.”There is nothing to say. You guys know everything. The only latest thing is that Brooke Walker is out because of a dislocated finger in left hand,” Fleming said in a brief statement while reflecting that his team was down and out.For New Zealand, the winless tour may not be a matter of concern in the backdrop of the situation and condition in which the series was being played.Nevertheless, for Pakistan, a clean sweep can serve the required tonic needed to raise the confidence of the players and bring stability in the team ahead of a back-breaking international season that will lead up to next year’s World Cup in South Africa.”The good performance in this series will help us a long way in terms of stability and confidence. The more we will win, the more we will start believing in ourselves,” skipper Waqar Younis told reporters.He added: “A victory in this series will make us a formidable unit that can challenge the supremacy of Australia. Then we have the tour to South Africa and these are the two series’ I like to win desperately.”Pakistan are to host Australia for three Tests between Oct 1 and 24 while the tour to South Africa will run from Dec 1 to Jan 6. But Waqar was concentrating on the job in hand. “At the moment, the immediate assignment is to win the second Test and end the four-year defeat drought. “It is nice to be coming back to our happy hunting ground though the nightmare of the last Test here is still fresh in our memories.” Pakistan lost their only Test here in 44 games in December 2000 when England won.For West Indian Steve Bucknor it will be a special day tomorrow. as he will become the umpire to supervize the highest number of Tests – 67. “It is going to be another Test for me. I am still enjoying the sport,” he said, adding: “My most memorable Test was in 1998 at Melbourne where England won on a day on which there was more than eight hours of play because we had to cover for the time lost on the first day and then for the slow over-rate on that day.”Squads:Pakistan (likely) – Saeed Anwar, Imran Nazir, Younis Khan, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Yousuf Youhana, Abdul Razzaq, Rashid Latif, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis (captain), Saqlain Mushtaq, Shoaib Akhtar. Reserves: Shoaib Malik, Misbah-ul-Haq, Shahid Afridi, Danish Kaneria, Mohammad Sami.New Zealand (likely) – Matthew Horne, Mark Richardson, Lou Vincent, Stephen Fleming (captain), Chris Harris, Craig McMillan, Roobie Hart, Daniel Vettori, Daryl Tuffey, Chris Martin, Scott Styris. Reserves: Matthew Sinclair, Brooke Walker, Ian Butler.Umpires – Steve Bucknor (West Indies), Rudi Koertzen (South Africa).TV Umpire – Nadeem Ghauri (Pakistan).Match referee – Mike Procter (South Africa).

برشلونة يدرس عقد صفقة تبادلية مع مانشستر سيتي

قد يشهد سوق الانتقالات الصيفي صفقة تبادلية بين برشلونة الإسباني ونظيره مانشستر سيتي الإنجليزي تشهد خروج برناردو سيلفا من ملعب “الاتحاد”.

وسيكون فرينكي دي يونج، لاعب وسط برشلونة هو من سينتقل إلى مانشستر سيتي وفقًا للتقارير في إسبانيا.

تم ربط سيلفا بالانتقال إلى كامب نو الموسم الماضي مع أنباء تشير إلى رغبته في الرحيل عن مانشستر سيتي وتشافي مدرب برشلونة حريص على إضافة المزيد من المنافسة في خط الوسط.

يتوقع الكثير من بيدري في كتالونيا ووجود برناردو سيخفف من هذا العبء، حسب تقرير “موندو ديبورتيفو” الإسبانية.

برناردو سلفا لا يزال يرتبط بعقد مع مانشستر سيتي وناديه سيحرص على الاستفادة من بيعه، وسيكون دي يونج هو البديل المثالي خاصة مع رحيل فيرناندينيو بنهاية الموسم.

دي يونج توجه إلى برشلونة في عام 2019 ولكن تم ربطه بباب الخروج حيث يعتقد أن مانشستر يونايتد حريص للغاية على ضمه مع وصول المدير الفني إريك تين هاج.

أصر تشافي على أنه بينما يريد المزيد من دي يونج، فهو مستقبل النادي الإسباني، وقال مدرب برشلونة: “يجب أن يكون لاعباً يصنع الفارق وهو يفعل ذلك، لا يوجد العديد من اللاعبين بجودته في العالم، إنه الحاضر والمستقبل”.

مضيفًا: “هو لاعب مهم جدًا بالنسبة لي إنه قادر، قوي، يدخل منطقة الجزاء، كان لديه بعض الأشياء الممتازة، ولكن يجب أن يكون متسقًا”.

ألمح جوارديولا أيضًا إلى أنه على الرغم من رغبة برناردو في الرحيل في الصيف، فقد يكون الآن سعيدًا بالحياة في مانشستر سيتي مرة أخرى.

قال في وقت سابق من هذا الموسم: “إنه مضحك ومحبوب وسعيد هنا، لدي شعور بأنه سعيد هنا بحياته الشخصية وآمل أن يحظى بموسم استثنائي معنا مرة أخرى”.

وأضاف: “يمكنه أن يلعب ستة مراكز – لاعب خط وسط ، لاعب خط وسط مهاجم، جناح (يسار)، مهاجم، مهاجم وهمي، الجناح الآخر – ويمكنه اللعب في كل مكان، إنه ذكي للغاية”.

Eduardo Baptista tem 'projeto Seleção' para Dudu no Palmeiras

MatériaMais Notícias

Dudu fez o gol da vitória da Seleção Brasileira no amistoso contra a Colômbia, em 25 de janeiro, quando apenas atletas que atuam no Brasil estavam a serviço de Tite, mas isso não foi suficiente para que ele fosse lembrado na convocação seguinte,para os duelos contra Uruguai e Paraguai, nos dias 23 e 28 de março, em Montevidéu e São Paulo, respectivamente. Mas o camisa 7 do Palmeiras não desanima. E tem um importante aliado dentro do clube: Eduardo Baptista.

O técnico do Verdão foi bastante criticado por torcedores quando escalou seu capitão aberto pelo lado direito, na derrota por 1 a 0 para o Ituano, pela segunda rodada do Paulistão. O próprio Dudu disse depois dessa partida que “preferia que continuasse como ganhou” o título brasileiro sob o comando de Cuca – ele jogou quase toda a competição aberto pelo lado esquerdo. Mas Eduardo explicou dias depois que está tentando fazer aflorar aina mais a versatilidade do jogador, pensando justamente na Seleção.

– Conversando com a comissão técnica, me disseram que o Dudu gosta de atuar pelo lado esquerdo. Mas jogador de Seleção joga no meio, joga na esquerda e na direita. É o que eu estou tentando provocar nele, está abrindo o leque dele. É um jogador que atua pelo lado, um jogador que no 4-1-4-1 do Tite pode ser um volante/meia. Torço para ele ser convocado, porque está trabalhando, se doando, e está se tornando um jogador versátil. Se ele for convocado, vou ficar muito contente porque sou um dos caras que está batalhando para que isso aconteça – diz o comandante alviverde.

Dudu fez suas melhores partidas em 2017 atuando centralizado, como armador, seja no 4-2-3-1 ou no 4-1-4-1. No sábado, contra o São Paulo, os escolhidos para jogar por dentro foram Guerra e Tchê Tchê, o que fez Dudu ser novamente deslocado para o lado esquerdo. E ele foi bem novamente, inclusive marcando um golaço por cobertura.

A fase estupenda no Palmeiras, porém, não basta para convencer Tite. O técnico da Seleção não abre mão do 4-1-4-1, e tem um esqueleto de time bem definido: aberto pelo lado direito na linha de quatro armadores, função em que Dudu foi escalado contra a Colômbia, ele tem usado jogadores com mais características de meia do que de ponta: Philipe Coutinho e Willian. Pelo lado esquerdo, onde o palmeirense também foi observado, a opção tem sido por atletas mais agudos, casos de Neymar e Douglas Costa. Tite avalia que é nessa função que Dudu se encaixa melhor. Por dentro, têm jogado Paulinho e Renato Augusto, que possuem características bem diferentes das de Dudu.

– O Tite é muito coerente. Quando estive lá, ele falou que iria dar oportunidade aos melhores. Tem uma concorrência muito grande na minha posição, a gente respeita isso. Tenho na minha cabeça que tenho de continuar trabalhando, focado aqui no Palmeiras, que vou ter oportunidade – comentou Dudu.

Campbell backs Everton to sign Danny Ings

Kevin Campbell has backed Everton to sign Danny Ings in the summer transfer window.

The Lowdown: Ings rejects deal

As per The Athletic, the 28-year-old has rejected a new deal at Southampton ahead of the new 2021/22 season.

The Goodison Park club have been linked with a move for the striker, and given that he has turned down the offer of a new contract at St Mary’s, he could well be available.

The Latest: Campbell backs Ings to Everton

Speaking to Goodison News, former Toffees forward Campbell thinks that it may be time for Ings to move on from the Saints, and backed his old team to ‘pull the trigger’ with regards to a move. The 51-year-old said:

“He’s a good player, knows where the net is. He has tried his luck on the other side of Merseyside and was pretty well-liked, but injuries stopped him from doing what he’s doing.

“He has found his feet again, his form, and now it’s time for a big move. I wouldn’t put it past Everton to pull the trigger.”

The Verdict: Sign

Rafa Benitez will want the goalscoring burden eased from Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the upcoming campaign, and Ings could do just that if he moves to Everton.

Described as a ‘top-four quality’ striker by Sky Sports pundit Clinton Morrison last August, it would be a big coup if the Blues managed to get him.

Ings is proven in the Premier League, with 55 goals and 13 assists in 140 top-flight games across six seasons with Burnley, Liverpool and Southampton (Transfermarkt), and at 28 years of age, he is just hitting his peak.

Everton must do all that they can to sign him, as there could well be tough competition if they hesitate to make their move.
