Sunderland now want to sign "incredible" academy gem in late January move

Sunderland are reportedly interested in signing an "incredible" teenage gem in the January transfer window – one who has been compared to a current England star.

Sunderland transfer news

The Black Cats know that they will have to complete any business this month by the end of deadline day on Thursday, so time is running out for Michael Beale to strengthen his squad. Young Leeds United defender Leo Hjelde is the player most heavily linked with a move to the Stadium of Light, with the Whites set to allow him join a fellow Championship club in January.

Barnsley midfielder Callum Styles is another individual whose name has emerged as an option for Sunderland midway through the season, but as of now, nothing has come to fruition. It seems that the club are eyeing both permanent and temporary targets before the current window reaches its conclusion, and it looks as though a loan switch for a talented Premier League player is now on the cards.

Sunderland want Charles Sagoe Jr

According to a fresh update from Football Transfers, Sunderland are keen on signing Arsenal youngster Charles Sagoe Jr before the end of the window, with a loan move in the offing after agreeing a permanent deal for Hjelde.

"Arsenal’s Charles Sagoe Jr is in talks with Sunderland over a proposed loan move ahead of the closure of the January transfer window next week, FootballTransfers has been told. The Gunners’ promising winger has caught the attention of several clubs, but we understand that it’s the Black Cats who are pressing ahead for this signature.

"Sunderland have been linked with a move for Manchester United winger Amad Diallo, who enjoyed a great spell for them last season in the Championship, but now sources inform us that they have set their sights on the Gunners' prodigy instead."

Signing any player from one of the top clubs in the country feels exciting, so Sunderland snapping up Sagoe Jr on loan could be such an eye-catching piece of business by them, similar to the excitement around Amad Diallo after his switch from Manchester United.

Still just 19 years of age, he has been making waves at youth team level for Arsenal in recent times, picking up 19 goal contributions (nine goals and ten assists) in 44 appearances for the Gunners' Under-23s. He has also played once for the first team and has been called "incredible" by Hale End productions, host of Away From Hale End Podcast:

"Charles Sagoe Jr. makes his senior debut for Arsenal! One of the more underrated Hale End prospects. A versatile forward, who excels most as a false 9. Creator, distributor and goal scorer. Incredible technique."

Sunderland could supercharge Burstow with last-gasp move

The fact that Sagoe Jr is also being compared to current Arsenal superstar Bukayo Saka in the initial report speaks volumes about the attacking quality and potential that he possesses, so Sunderland having him in their ranks in the second half of the season could aid their Championship promotion push significantly up until May.

إنريكي: انتقال مبابي إلى ريال مدريد "مخزِ".. ومواجهة برشلونة في النهائي ستكون كارثية

وصف المدير الفني لفريق باريس سان جيرمان، لويس إنريكي، انتقال النجم كيليان مبابي إلى صفوف ريال مدريد بـ”الأمر المخزي”.

وانضم كيليان مبابي إلى ريال مدريد، في وقت سابق من هذا الصيف، بعد سلسلة طويلة من ارتباطه ببطل أوروبا عبر المواسم الماضية.

جاء رحيل الفرنسي إلى ريال مدريد في صفقة مجانية، بعدما انتهى عقده مع باريس سان جيرمان.

وسعى باريس سان جيرمان بشتى الطرق من أجل الاحتفاظ بخدمات كيليان مبابي في “حديقة الأمراء” ولكن النجم صاحب الـ24 عامًا رفض كافة المحاولات.

وقال لويس إنريكي، في تصريحات لقناة “موفيستار” الإسبانية: “في حالة كيليان مبابي، وجدت لاعبًا رائعًا، شخص ذو مستوى استثنائي، من النادر أن تجد مثله”.

وأضاف: “إنه إنسان، حنون، قريب، لاعب استثنائي. يا له من أمر مخزِ أنه ذهب إلى ريال مدريد!”.

وتطرق إنريكي للحديث عن مباراة باريس سان جيرمان ضد برشلونة في دوري أبطال أوروبا الموسم الماضي في دور ربع النهائي، بعدما سبق وأن كان الإسباني مدربًا للفريق الكتالوني.

وعن ذلك، قال إنريكي: “كانت مواجهة برشلونة تجربة مروعة، أشعر بالأسف، لكن كل المشاعر مختلطة، العودة إلى الديار كانت فرحة، لكن مواجهة النادي الذي منحني الكثير كلاعب وكمدرب كانت تجربة صعبة للغاية بالنسبة لي ولأطفالي وزوجتي”.

واعترف: “أتمنى ألا أضطر للعب ضدهم مرة أخرى هذا الموسم، لا أستطيع أن أتخيل خوض نهائي ضد برشلونة، سيكون الأمر كارثيًا، أتمنى ألا يحدث ذلك”.

Leeds’ £5k-p/w superstar could become even better after Roberts move

Despite drawing against Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup last weekend, things are going reasonably well for Leeds United at the moment.

Daniel Farke has seen his side win five out of the last six games to extend the gap between themselves and fifth place, and the club completed a signing on deadline day that will make the squad stronger.

The Athletic's Leeds writer, Phil Hay, confirmed at around midday that the Peackocks had agreed with last season's Championship champions, Burnely, to take Welsh full-back Connor Roberts on loan for the rest of the season.

Connor Roberts

Roberts could solve a problem for Farke

Now, the arrival of Roberts is brilliant for Leeds in and of itself, as the 28-year-old will bring masses of experience with him having spent time playing in the Premier League, Championship, League One and League Two.

However, the fact that he is an out-and-out, no-nonsense right-back – with the odd appearance in midfield here and there – is perhaps the most crucial thing for Farke.

This is because, as things stand and with Stuart Dallas out injured and Jamie Shackleton not impressing Farke, the Whites are entirely lacking in right-back depth.

This lack of options has led to the incredibly exciting Archie Gray moving from his preferred position of central midfield to right-back earlier this season.

However, with Roberts now at the club, the young prospect has a chance to show the Elland Road faithful what he can do in the middle of the park.

The stats that show why Gray should be in midfield

Now, the first thing to note is that while the arrival of Roberts will likely mean Gray no longer starts at right-back, that doesn't mean that the 17-year-old was poor there, if anything, given his age and the fact that it isn't his natural position, you'd have to say he did rather well given the circumstances, something represented by his respectable match ratings from Beren Cross of LeedsLive.

Still, the Durham-born gem is a natural midfielder and even said as much in an interview with the Guardian: "I think my best position will be as a box-to-box midfielder."

So, is he right? Do the numbers from his time in youth football reflect this opinion? Well, unsurprisingly, the professional footballer knows his best position.

The difference in output is vast when comparing his appearances in central areas to those he's made at right-back.

In 17 games on the right of the defence, the "magnificent" youngster, as dubbed by talent scout Jacek Kulig, has provided just a single assist.

In contrast, in the 29 games the £5k-per-week earner has played in a central or attacking midfield area, he has scored three goals and provided four assists, giving him a goal involvement every 4.1 games.

Considering he is still just 17 years old, a return like that is encouraging, and suggests that Kulig is not being hyperbolic when he refers to the Leeds ace as a "wonderkid."

The 13 matches Jonathan Rowe could miss for Norwich after hamstring injury

Norwich City are now well and truly in the race to secure a spot in the Championship play-offs come May, sitting as high as sixth on goal difference. Having played a game extra than the likes of Hull City, Sunderland and Coventry, the Canaries' fate is not in their own hands however, meaning they could be set for heartbreak, especially after the latest Jonathan Rowe injury update.

Norwich City injury news

Norwich's 2-2 draw against Queens Park Rangers followed by a 4-2 victory over Watford at Carrow Roads sums up their season of inconsistency at times. Yet, here David Wagner's side are, in the race for the play-offs.

ByKelan Sarson Feb 11, 2024

With just a few months remaining in the current campaign, those in Norfolk received the perfect boost when Jonathan Rowe returned from injury in the middle of a busy December period. Rowe's numbers represent a player at the top of his game, with 13 goals and four assists to his name, and highlight just how crucial he is for Wagner's side.

Having only just returned in December, however, the winger is set for another spell on the sidelines. According to Wagner, Rowe is set to be out until May after suffering a hamstring injury against QPR. The former Huddersfield Town boss said via The Pink Un: "Unfortunately, it is a serious hamstring injury. I can't give a serious timeframe, but we speak more about a couple of months rather than weeks.

"We have to wait and see for the first four weeks how he progresses in his rehab to give a clearer picture of his timeframe. We strongly hope that we will get him back at the end of the season and that he will play for us. Hopefully, the season will not be finished at the beginning of May."

With that said, Norwich now face an uphill battle to replace Rowe's output, as they look to secure their play-off place come the end of the season.

Norwich may fall short without Rowe

At just 20-years-old, Rowe is one of Wagner's most important players at Norwich. Since his return from an initial spell on the sidelines earlier in the campaign, the Canaries have looked a side far more capable of finishing inside the top six. Now, however, potentially without Rowe for the next 13 games, those at Carrow Road could fall into their form before the turn of the new year, which saw them sit mid-table.

Wagner must find a solution for the youngster's absence sooner rather than later if Norwich are to maintain a currently successful battle to secure a play-off spot this season.

Riki Wessels slams superb 91 as Worcestershire cruise home

Opener smashes Yorkshire for ten fours and five sixes as defending champions stay second

ECB Reporters Network02-Aug-2019

Riki Wessels belts one down the ground•Getty Images

Worcestershire recovered from early strife with the ball before Riki Wessels mixed power with a touch of invention in a superb 91 as Yorkshire, defending 178, were ultimately brushed aside by five wickets with 15 balls to spare at Emerald Headingley.The Vikings lost their third game in six and will rue not making the most of being 104 without loss in the 12th over.Their 177 for 7 looked competitive, but they should have been closer to 200 after openers Adam Lyth and Tom Kohler-Cadmore laid the platform with a century partnership having elected to bat.In reply, Rapids opener Wessels made the chase towards a fourth win from six North Group games look a routine one with 10 fours and five sixes in 51 balls.Lyth top-scored and hit four sixes in 48 balls, sharing 104 for the first wicket with ex-Worcestershire player Kohler-Cadmore, who hit two sixes.They shared their second century opening stand of this season’s Blast and took the visitors’ seamers to task on an excellent Headingley surface.Lyth hit successive sixes off Wayne Parnell and Pat Brown in the second and fourth overs en route to a 32-ball fifty. He was particularly strong square on both sides of the wicket, while Kohler-Cadmore was more measured, hitting nicely on the up down the ground and over cover.But they were two of seven wickets to fall inside the last nine overs of an innings which fell away to devastating effect.Both fell caught at deep mid-wicket off the off-spin of George Rhodes. That Rhodes – who finished with 2 for 12 – only bowled two overs was a surprise, especially with none of Worcester’s five seamers going at less than eight an over. They were the only two overs of spin in the innings.That said, their seamers did hit back with effect. Dillon Pennington removed Harry Brook and David Willey in the 16th over, leaving the score at 140 for four, just when they were looking to launch. And Brown also struck twice at the death.Worcestershire made a bright start to their chase as Wessels took the lead role.When Martin Guptill top-edged a short ball from Duanne Olivier to short fine leg, they were 28 for 1 in the fourth over, and well on the way to a powerplay score of 47 for one after six overs. Wessels had 26 of them.But in the next over, bowled by returning Vikings captain Steve Patterson after a five-game rest, Wessels launched sixes over long-off and long-leg as 20 runs came off it.Wessels reached his second fifty of this season’s Blast off 32 balls, but not before he lost Callum Ferguson caught at backward point off Lyth’s off-spin as the score fell to 93 for two in the 10th.When he fell in the 15th over, caught at long-on off Dom Bess’ off-spin, the damage had been done with the score at 152 for 3and only 26 more needed.Olivier and David Willey claimed the consolatory wickets of Parnell (27) and Ross Whiteley late on, but it proved too little, too late, as Worcestershire stayed second in the North Group, still just a point behind Lancashire.

أحمد قندوسي يوضح أسباب فشل انتقال زين الدين بلعيد لـ الأهلي وحقيقة تحريضه للاعب

كشف الدولي الجزائري أحمد القندوسي لاعب النادي الأهلي والمعار إلى فريق سيراميكا كليوباترا، حقيقة تسببه في فشل صفقة زين الدين بلعيد لاعب اتحاد العاصمة السابق والمنتقل إلى سانت تروند البلجيكي.

وكان زين الدين بلعيد صاحب الـ 25 عامًا على رادار الأهلي في بداية انتقالات الصيف الحالي، لكن فشلت الصفقة في النهاية بعدما انتقل اللاعب إلى الدوري البلجيكي.

وقال القندوسي خلال تصريحات عبر قناة أون تايم سبورت 1 لبرنامج “ملعب أون تايم”: “أنا وهو أصدقاء، إذا كان أتى للدوري المصري سيكون أفضل مدافع في مصر لاعب قوي جدًا ويحب يلعب كرة ويمتلك شخصية”.

وواصل: “الصفقة فشلت بسبب الوكلاء، كل التصريحات التي خرجت على الميديا كذب، مدرب المنتخب الجزائري لم يتدخل لافساد انتقاله للأهلي”.

وأكمل: “زين الدين بلعيد كان 70% بالأهلي وهذا ما قاله لي، لكن كان شرطه أن يأتي معه وكيل أعماله الخاص به، لكن المسؤول من النادي الأهلي رفض وكيل أعمال اللاعب واشترط عليه وكيل أعمال آخر”.

واستمر: “”زين الدين بلعيد إذ كان انضم للأهلي كان سيحصد الدوري وإفريقيا وسيشارك في كأس العالم للأندية”.

واستطرد: “تحدثت مع بلعيد ونصحته بالانضمام للأهلي، لم أقل له لا تأتي، بسبب عدم مشاركتي، كما تردد”.

واستكمل: “أتمنى بلعيد يكون متواجد في الأهلي، لا أعلم إذا كان الزمالك دخل في الصفقة أم لا”.
