Arsenal have now joined Real Madrid in the race to sign a “powerful” midfielder from a Champions League club, it has been revealed.

Gunners join race for another new midfielder

Mikel Arteta strengthened his squad considerably in the summer transfer window, with Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard arriving to bolster the midfield options, and the Spain international has made a flying start to life in the Premier League.

There have been suggestions that Zubimendi has already established himself as one of the best midfielders in the top flight, having formed a partnership with Declan Rice, with the duo creating three big chances between them in the 4-0 victory over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

With the likes of Mikel Merino, Eberechi Eze and Martin Odegaard also on the books, Arteta appears to be well-stocked in both defensive and attacking midfield areas, but the north Londoners have now joined the race to sign a Serie A star.

That is according to a report from Spain, which states Arsenal are now monitoring Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram, who has an asking price of €70m (£61m), amid interest from a number of Europe’s biggest clubs.

Real Madrid and Liverpool are also in the race for Thuram, who has established himself as an important player since arriving at the Serie A club in the summer of 2024, and it could be difficult to get a deal done.

Indeed, considering the midfielder has emerged as an important player and remains under contract until 2029, it could be tricky to tempt Juventus into a sale, but there is certainly interest on the Gunners’ behalf.

"Powerful" Thuram impressing in the Serie A

The France international, who Arteta is a huge fan of, has impressed considerably since returning to the country of his birth, catching the eye with his dribbling skills and ability to score goals and create chances for his teammates over the past year.

Scout Ben Mattinson has also suggested the 24-year-old is a well-rounded midfielder, describing him as “balanced”, while praising the maestro for his “powerful carrying”, “physicality” and “quick feet.”

The Italy-born maestro, who has 13 Champions League appearances to his name, clearly has the talent to succeed at the Emirates Stadium, but there is no pressing need for Arteta to bring in a new midfielder anytime soon.

With Zubimendi showing his class ever since his arrival, Norgaard on the books as a back-up option, and Rice continuing to impress, chipping in with four goal contributions in the Premier League so far this season, the Arsenal boss already has plenty of top-quality options to choose from.

Acumulando sua terceira derrota seguida na competição, Abel Ferreira foi muito honesto na coletiva pós jogo e algo que chamou a atenção foi o fato do técnico mais uma vez expor que tem um ‘x-9’ dentro do clube.

Segundo Abel, a filosofia do ‘Todos Somos Um’ que fez com que o clube tivesse ganhado praticamente tudo nos últimos anos, está com os seus dias contados.

Não sabemos se ele está falando isso pelo racha da torcida organizada com a direção, se é pelo funcionário do clube que têm vazado tudo para a imprensa ou também da pressão da torcida em cima de alguns atletas e no próprio trabalho do treinador.

Na minha opinião, a maior culpada por todo esse desgaste no ambiente do Verdão em 2023 é a presidente Leila Pereira.

Omissa na hora de prestar explicações pra torcida nos momentos mais delicados do ano, Leila mantém uma postura arrogante perante à torcida, e deixa Abel tomando as pancadas da imprensa sozinho.

Leila também é culpada por não ter cumprido as suas promessas para o ano, principalmente a de não ter reforçado um elenco que parece não ter mais energia para competir na sua máxima potência. O enfraquecimento do time é nítido e cada vez mais Crias da Academia são expostas pelo péssimo planejamento desenhado para esse ano.

É sintomático que após a eliminação mais doída dos últimos anos, um jovem de 20 anos tenha sido o escolhido para prestar explicações para a torcida.

O conturbado ambiente político também reflete no clube e a postura arbitrária de Leila com alguns conselheiros de oposição mostra que a coisa pode ferver e muito no próximo ano de eleição.

Nas arquibancadas, torcedores já estão cobrando parte do conselho que se beneficia do apoio a atual presidente e pouco contribuem para uma evolução da instituição em diversas frentes.

É triste que o ‘Todos somos Um’ esteja terminando, Abel tentou ao máximo fortalecer o coletivo e mostrar que quando todos remam para o mesmo lado, a correnteza fica muito mais fraca.

Se o técnico tem sua parcela de culpa pela decepção desse segundo semestre, Leila Pereira tem o triplo.

Essex remain winless after 13-run loss in seesawing contest at Chelmsford

ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay04-Jul-2025

Jack Taylor’s second fifty in three matches made it three wins in a row for Gloucestershire to spark hopes of retaining the Men’s Vitality Blast.Gloucestershire had begun their defence with five straight defeats but victories over Kent Spitfires, Hampshire Hawks and now Essex have given hope they can sneak back to finals day via the back door.Captain Taylor had dragged his side to a par score of 184 with 50, to go with Ben Charlesworth’s 47 not out, before Josh Shaw’s three for 29 made sure the Eagles fell 13 runs short.The 2019 champions Essex remain winless, with their only points coming from a wash-out. They can now only get a maximum of 22 points with fourth placed Glamorgan already on 20 points.For the third home match in a row, Simon Harmer chose to bowl first but it was Gloucestershire who edged the powerplay.They managed 58 runs, par for the first six overs at the Ambassador Cruise Line Ground, but lost Miles Hammond just about caught at slip by a juggling Paul Walter and Cam Bancroft attempting back-to-back sixes.But Essex demonstrably won the middle overs by holding the visitors to just four boundaries from the end of the seventh over to the start of the 16th.Darcy Short failing to kick on from reaching 33 and Ollie Price barbequing himself didn’t help their cause, but tight bowling closed off their scoring options.Taylor’s hard running dragged Gloucestershire back into the innings before his hard-hitting got them closer to a defendable score.Firstly, he took Matt Critchley for three fours in an over and then he carted Luc Benkenstein for two huge sixes – one of which smashed a press box window.It helped the Gloucestershire skipper reach his seventh T20 fifty in 34 balls.A wicket in each of the last three overs kept the away side to 184, with Mohammad Amir taking two of them to return three for 33, while Charlesworth’s useful 31-ball cameo left him unbeaten on 47.In the two previous games at Chelmsford, Essex had been set targets of 221 and 220 and it had quickly been apparent the chase would be above them.On this occasion, they stayed in the fight despite losing regular wickets. Michael Pepper and Jordan Cox each went big then got out in the powerplay, while Dean Elgar suffered a tortured nine balls in a half-hour spell in the middle.Paul Walter threatened to be the man to put Essex in complete control with a spritely 39 but he and Benkenstein fell in the same Charlesworth over leaving the hosts needing 82 in eight overs.Critchley and Charlie Allison clubbed 21 and 17 off the 14th and 15th overs, but then Critchley was bowled by Shaw as the momentum swung like a Newton’s cradle.But Harmer clothed to point, Allison holed out, Noah Thain picked on long on, and Amir was run out as the game fell out of Essex’s grasp as Gloucestershire squeezed at the death.

Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher has delivered a fresh take on Arsenal and their chances of winning the Premier League this season.

The Gunners, since tasting defeat away to Liverpool in August, have won 13 games on the trot in all competitions whilst boasting the best defensive record in Europe’s top five leagues.

Mikel Arteta’s imperious side also haven’t conceded a single goal in all competitions since their dramatic 2-1 win over Newcastle at St. James’ Park in September, which is quite incredible considering they were without star defender William Saliba for brief periods as well.

Arsenal 1-0 Crystal Palace

Slavia Prague 0-3 Arsenal

Summer signing Cristhian Mosquera has performed exceptionally when called upon by Arsenal to replace Saliba at the heart of Arteta’s defence, and their exceptional resilience as a unit could well hand them a first Premier League title in 22 years.

Arsenal were already a very hard side to break down prior to this campaign, leaking the fewest goals of any top flight club in both the 23/24 and 24/25 seasons, but the arrival of assistant coach Gabriel Heinze appears to have solidified them even more.

Their rock solid backline has allowed Arsenal to plough through and get results despite their plethora of attacking absentees, with Kai Havertz, Noni Madueke, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard and now Viktor Gyokeres all sidelined through injury.

This, combined with their overwhelming threat from set pieces, has made Arsenal the team to beat as we head into the festive period.

Carragher names the player who could hold Arsenal back from Premier League title glory

Speaking on Sky Sports, Carragher has claimed that only one man could stop Arsenal from winning the title at this point.

The pundit claims that Man City superstar Erling Haaland, who has spearheaded the Sky Blues to second almost single-handedly with 13 goals in just 10 Premier League appearances, will have a major say on whether Arsenal can end their two-decade-long wait for a domestic crown.

Given Haaland is basically a cheat code at this point, it’s hard to argue with Carragher’s assessment here.

It is still a real wonder how the Norway superstar didn’t clinch 2023’s Ballon d’Or award after firing City to a treble with 52 goals in 53 appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side, with Lionel Messi getting it instead following his 2022 World Cup win.

The 25-year-old is nailed on for a Ballon d’Or eventually and perhaps even Alan Shearer’s all-time Premier League goalscoring record if he stays in England much longer.

Make no mistake, it would take something truly extraordinary to topple Arsenal right now, and Haaland is just that.

Com um perfil muito mais ‘low-profile’ do que o de seu antecessor, Barros chegou quietinho e logo em seu primeiro ano de Palmeiras, faturou a tríplice coroa, sendo peça chave na mudança de filosofia de um clube que deixou de ser comprador para se tornar muito mais formador.

Ao longo de seus quatro anos como diretor de futebol do Verdão, Barros conquistou o coração de Abel Ferreira, e mesmo com a troca de presidentes (Galiotte para Leila Pereira), Anderson conseguiu manter o seu emprego e apesar da pressão sofrida pela torcida nesta temporada, deve seguir no comando do futebol alviverde para 2024.

Com uma grande importância na gestão do vestiário e na manutenção de diversos titulares que foram essenciais nos últimos quatro anos, Barros consegue se manter como um dos homens fortes do Maior Campeão do Brasil, apesar da dificuldade demonstrada no mercado.

Durante o segundo semestre de 2023, com muita pressão da principal torcida organizada do Verdão, a permanência de Anderson Barros no clube ficou ameaçada, mas a confirmação do título brasileiro deve fazer com que Leila Pereira não mexa em absolutamente nada na estrutura do futebol do Verdão.

Caso fique no alviverde imponente até o final da próxima temporada, Barros pode até ultrapassar o seu antecessor, Alexandre Mattos, que ficou no comando do futebol do Verdão por quase 5 anos, entre 2015 e 2019.

The former international captains join the team ahead of the SA20 auction on September 9

ESPNcricinfo staff24-Aug-2025

Sourav Ganguly is going to be the new head coach of Pretoria Capitals for the fourth season of SA20, starting on December 26. He will be joined by former South Africa captain Shaun Pollock, who was named the franchise’s assistant coach on Monday.*Ganguly replaces Jonathan Trott in the role, having already acted as the director of cricket for JSW Sports – the parent company of Pretoria Capitals – since last year. Pollock will take over a coaching role after a while, having been a part of the Mumbai Indians coaching staff in the IPL in the early years of the tournament. He also worked with the South Africa team as a consultant briefly.Pretoria Capitals have had an uneven time in the tournament so far: they finished the first season at the top of the table in the group stage, before losing to Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the final. In the two seasons since then – in 2023-24 and 2024-25 – they have faced more middling results, finishing in fifth position both times and failing to qualify for the playoffs.Pretoria Capitals will be hoping that their luck turns around with the new appointments. Their first point of focus will be the player auction on September 9, where Capitals will be looking to refresh their squad.This will be Ganguly’s first time as a head coach. For four years, between 2015 and 2019, he was the president of the Cricket Association of Bengal. He joined Delhi Capitals as a mentor for the 2019 season, but left the franchise soon after to become the president of the BCCI.In the time since then, his appointment as JSW’s director of cricket last year moved him closer to a coaching role at the helm of one of their franchises, which also include Delhi Capitals in co-ownership with GMR in the IPL and WPL.* 0900 hrs: The story was updated after SA20 issued a release about Pollock’s appointment

The last international break of the year is finally coming to an end this weekend, meaning Arsenal can once again continue their title charge.

However, instead of looking over their shoulder at Liverpool, the new hunter is, unfortunately, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

The Citizens have already gotten the better of Mikel Arteta’s side in two Premier League title races, in large part thanks to the outrageous goalscoring ability of Erling Haaland.

The Norwegian is an unstoppable machine of a player, but fortunately, it feels like Arsenal now have their own version of him, and he’s not even a striker.

Haaland's record vs Arsenal

There are more than a handful of players Arsenal fans have dreaded seeing play against their team over the years.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

Expand Collapse

When he was at Chelsea, Didier Drogba was a nightmare for the North Londoners, as was Harry Kane when he played in N17.

Unfortunately, even though he hasn’t been in the league anywhere near as long, Haaland has become another goalscorer who just seems to have the Gunners’ number.

For example, while he didn’t score against them in the FA Cup three years ago, or the Community Shield a year after that, he has made a habit of putting the ball in their net in the league.

In the seven appearances he’s made against the North Londoners in the competition, he has scored five goals, with the two blanks coming home and away in the 23/24 season.

Interestingly, while he provided two assists in the 22/23 game at the Etihad, the former Borussia Dortmund star has never scored more than one goal in a match against Arteta’s side.

In all, Haaland scoring against Arsenal feels practically invincible, even this season, when Arteta has built an almost impregnable defence, one that features the club’s own version of the Norwegian.

Arsenal's own Haaland

Now, while people might try to argue that Viktor Gyokeres or Bukayo Saka could be Arsenal’s answer to Haaland for their goals and where they play, they’d be wrong.

Instead, and this might sound odd to begin with, it’s Gabriel Magalhaes.

After all, City’s biggest strength is their attack, and their best attacker is the Norwegian, while the Gunners’ biggest strength, and so far this season, the Brazilian has been their best defender.

Moreover, like the former Dortmund star, the 27-year-old is a monster of a centre-back, someone who makes full use of his 6 foot 4 frame to bully opposition players off the ball or block their path entirely.

He is not a stereotypical ball-playing defender; he’s an old-school blood and thunder type, someone who relishes the physical battle and celebrates a well-timed slide tackle just as much as a goal.

However, unlike some other players of his ilk, the former LOSC Lille ace is also a tour de force in the opposition’s box.

Since moving to the Emirates, the São Paulo-born titan has scored 22 goals and provided eight assists in 227 appearances, and with five goal involvements already this season, he’s only becoming more of an attacking threat.

It’s this combination of being incredible in all phases of play that led to Jamie Carragher suggesting that he could “be seen as the most influential player in the Premier League” only last month.

It also lends plenty of credence to Statman Dave’s claim that he’s one of the best defenders “on the planet.”

Ultimately, while he’ll never get the adulation of a striker, Gabriel has slowly become Arsenal’s own Haaland-like player, and the sooner he’s back from injury, the better.

قررت هيئة التحكيم الرياضي فتح تحقيق، اليوم الجمعة، مع رئيس رابطة الدوري الإسباني لكرة القدم، خافيير تيباس، عقب شكوى قدمها المجلس الرياضي الإسباني في 20 أكتوبر الماضي.

وذكرت صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو” الإسبانية أن رئيس الاتحاد الوطني للاعبي لكرة القدم، ميجيل جالان، أرسل رسالة إلى المجلس الرياضي الإسباني ورئيسيه، خوسيه مانويل رودريجيز في 12 أغسطس الماضي، طالب من خلالها إقالة تيياس من منصبه.

وأوضحت أن تلك المطالبة جاءت بحجة أن تيباس ارتكب 5 مخالفات جسيمة للمادة أ.76.2 من القانون رقم 10/1990، والمتعلقة بخرقه لواجب الحياد.

ورأى جالان أن تيباس ارتكب مخالفات جسيمة لعدم احترامه السرية، حيث وقعت المخالفة الأولى في 2 أبريل 2025، عندما أعلنت رابطة الدوري الإسباني أنها لن تُوافق على صفقة مقصورة كبار الشخصيات بقيمة 100 مليون يورو، والتي كانت قد وافقت عليها في ديسمبر السابق، واستند هذا الرفض إلى تقرير مُدققي حسابات برشلونة.

أما المخالفة الثانية الخطيرة فكانت إزالة هذه المعلومات من الموقع الإلكتروني عقب شكاوى من برشلونة، وجاء ذلك بمثابة ردًا مباشرًا على شكوى قدمها النادي نفسه إلى رابطة الدوري الإسباني لكرة القدم، ولم يُبلغ النادي المجلس الوطني الإسباني للرياضة بهذا الأمر.

في حين تتمثل المخالفة الثالثة في الاجتماع المُزعوم الذي عُقد مع نادي أتلتيك بلباو بشأن الدفع المحتمل لشرط جزائي في عقد نيكو ويليامز، عندما استفسر النادي الباسكي عن الوضع المالي لـ برشلونة، خلال موسم الانتقالات الصيفي الماضي.

بينما تستند المخالفة الرابعة إلى تصريحات خافيير تيباس لوسائل الإعلام، حيث أشار إلى أن برشلونة لم يصل إلى حد اللعب المالي النظيف (1-1)، وأخيرًا تتعلق المخالفة الأخيرة بسرية الوثيقة المرسلة إلى هيئة الرياضة في 28 مارس من هذا العام والمتعلقة بنزاع داني أولمو.

هذا، ويستند التحقيق إلى الاعتقاد بأن هذا السلوك أضر بسمعة نادي برشلونة من الناحية الاقتصادية، ولم تتلقَ رابطة الدوري الإسباني أي إخطار رسمي حتى الآن.

وأفادت الصحيفة أنه سنرى الآن كيف سينتهي التحقيق، وقد يواجه رئيس الرابطة إنذارًا وإيقافًا لمدة تتراوح بين شهرين وعام، أو إقالته من منصبه.
