After Chelsea confirmed the arrival of Pedro Neto on Sunday afternoon, introducing him to the Stamford Bridge faithful at half-time against Inter, it looked a pretty pleasant time to be a Blue.

Todd Boehly was also on the verge of concluding a deal to bring Atletico Madrid forward Samu Omorodion to the Bridge.

Yet, just a matter of hours later the deal was as dead as a dodo. David Ornstein reported that a 'major problem' when it came to the player's contract had jeopardised a move and he would now not head to London.

Omorodion could still head to England but it's unlikely to be in the direction of Chelsea, with the Atleti striker reportedly now offered to the likes of Aston Villa and Bournemouth.

Chelsea's main Omorodion alternative

Victor Osmihen has been the name on many lips this summer, not just at Chelsea but throughout the footballing world.

He's been an option for teams in Saudi, PSG have looked at him and Arsenal are also allegedly in the conversation to beat Chelsea to his signature.

However, with a proposed £109m price tag in the offing, a deal looks tricky to complete.

As a result, the transfer team in west London are heading back to Madrid in an attempt to prise away another forward; Joao Felix.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Portuguese has already said yes to a move and it's now up to Boehly and Co to decide whether they want to proceed with a move.

Felix has already had one spell at Chelsea during the second half of the 2022/23 season where he played 20 times and scored four goals.

During his stint in the Premier League, the 24-year-old played in a variety of positions, namely as an attacking midfielder or centre-forward, occupying somewhat of a false 9 role.

His replacement that summer after he left? A certain Cole Palmer. How he has exploded since leaving Manchester City behind.

Cole Palmer's transfer value in 2024

Felix wasn't totally convincing during his loan spell at the club and as a result, Mauricio Pochettino didn't seek a permanent deal.

Palmer was one man who arrived to fill the void and he did that in remarkable fashion. Hailed as a "fantastic" player by club icon Joe Cole, the former Man City star emulated Chelsea greats Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba during a breakthrough campaign for the now England international.

The 22-year-old scored a whopping 25 goals in 45 outings, also supplying 15 assists in that time. It's safe to say not signing Felix was a good decision on that evidence.

It was a campaign that subsequently saw Palmer's transfer value explode. Signed for a fee of £40m he is now estimated to be worth around £69m by Transfermarkt.

How does Chelsea's new transfer target compare? Well, the Portugal international could head back to English football in a deal worth £43m according to reports. That's a fraction more than the £38m Omorodion was set to join for.

Considering a deal to sign the Atleti forward has fallen apart, Felix would be a solid alternative but he doesn't touch Palmer when it comes to output.

As we can see, the Englishman unsurprisingly wiped the floor with Felix throughout a devastating 2023/24 campaign in the Premier League.

That's certainly not to suggest the former loanee wouldn't be a good addition but he would most definitely be playing second fiddle to Palmer.

Akeal Hosein’s hat-trick in vain as Quetta Gladiators suffer their third defeat of the season

Associated Press09-Mar-2024

Babar Azam and Saim Ayub upstaged Akeal Hosein’s hat-trick as Peshawar Zalmi thumped Quetta Gladiators by 76 runs and booked a playoff spot in the Pakistan Super League on Friday.Gladiators’ batters fumbled for a second straight game and were bowled out for 120 in 17.5 overs after Zalmi made 196 for 8.Ayub continued to make the most of his new allrounder role by claiming the key wickets of Gladiators captain Rilee Rossouw (8) and Khawaja Nafay (5) in one over.Babar notched his fourth half-century of this PSL in a blazing 53 off 30 balls. Babar is the leading run-getter this season, with 447 runs at a strike rate of 154.67 in eight games.Left-arm spinner Hosein achieved the first hat-trick of this PSL in his last over. He had Aamer Jamal caught behind; bowled Mumtaz; and Rossouw grabbed a sharp catch of Luke Wood in the lone slip. Hosein finished with 4 for 23.Despite Hosein, Ayub opened Zalmi’s batting with 30 off 14 balls and Babar struck nine fours and a six before falling lbw to Hosein’s straight delivery in the 13th over. Rovman Powell (28 not out) and Naveen-ul-Haq (10 not out ) added 39 off the final 26 balls to set up an intimidating total.Zalmi rose to second in the standings and could finish among the top two by winning the last league game against Islamabad United on Sunday. Gladiators need to win at least one of their remaining two matches to reach the playoffs.

New Zealand will be without Kane Williamson and Trent Boult among others, as Bangladesh look for turnaround

Mohammad Isam27-Mar-2021

Big PictureBangladesh will hope a change of format can bring a change in their fortunes in New Zealand after they were swept 3-0 in the ODIs. The three-match T20I series begins in Hamilton on Sunday afternoon, with the home side likely to present a very new look.New Zealand will be without their regular captain Kane Williamson, Trent Boult, Kyle Jamieson, Jimmy Neesham, Mitchell Santner and Tim Seifert, who have all been rested to prepare for a grueling IPL schedule. But they will have the experienced Tim Southee, who is leading the side in Williamson’s absence, as well as Martin Guptill and Ish Sodhi.Bangladesh too are in a similar situation now that they are without Tamim Iqbal, who is not available due to personal reasons. Already without Shakib Al Hasan, Bangladesh’s squad has only Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah as experienced players. They will be hopeful that Mohammad Mithun can continue his good form from the ODI series, while Liton Das and Soumya Sarkar can recover from the lean patch. Bangladesh have the likes of Mohammad Naim, Mosaddek Hossain, Najmul Hossain Shanto and Afif Hossain among the young batsmen who didn’t play the ODIs.Their bowling has also looked sharp at times, particularly pacer Taskin Ahmed and offspinners Mahedi Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. But Mustafizur Rahman wasn’t his old self during the ODIs, while Rubel Hossain, Mohammad Saifuddin and Hasan Mahmud played only one game each.Bangladesh, however, will be most worried about their fielding. They dropped five catches in the second and the third ODIs, while looking lackluster at the back-end of both matches.New Zealand are a much better fielding side by comparison, and with the injection of newcomers, can expect the standard to rise a bit more. Finn Allen is the most exciting of all the youngsters after his productive Super Smash tournament earlier in the season. Fireworks will also be expected from Guptill, Glenn Phillips and Mark Chapman, who will be batting in the top five.Southee will have Hamish Bennett, Lockie Ferguson and Adam Milne in his pace attack. Legspinners Sodhi and Todd Astle will also be wicket-taking options for the home side.Form guide(Last five completed matches)

Eram cravados 52 minutos do segundo tempo quando a finalização de Róger Guedes ultrapassou a linha fatal. Gol no último milésimo de segundo, que deu a vitória por 1 a 0 ao Corinthians sobre a Chapecoense, lanterna do Campeonato Brasileiro, pela 29ª rodada, na última segunda-feira (1º). E tudo isso só foi possível por conta de uma torcida que é Fiel e empurra o time até mesmo quando quer vaiar.

Mas essa torcida que impulsiona jogadores a colocarem bolas para dentro não calça chuteiras, ou nem sempre pelo menos. Não porque não quer, mas porque as vezes não é possível. Portanto, a função dessa análise é quebrar um pouco do romantismo da vitória corintiana diante da Chape e voltarmos à realidade de um Corinthians que ainda precisa evoluir bastante.

Ok, teve a simbiose de uma torcida, que há mais de 600 dias não poderia lotar a Arena, teve o fervor de uma vitória no último suspiro, mas não da para tratar como epopeia um triunfo na bacia das almas contra um time que só venceu um jogo no Brasileirão e é virtual rebaixado praticamente desde o início da competição.

Em sua entrevista coletiva, o técnico Sylvinho, amplamente questionado por uma ala mais ortodoxa da torcida corintiana, justificou a dificuldade em fazer gols contra a Chapecoense por conta da imposição defensiva do adversário. Contudo, isso já era esperado e mesmo assim o Time do Povo não soube lidar.

O Corinthians tinha em sua faixa central e ofensiva atletas de um nível técnico ímpar, como Giuliano, Renato Augusto, Róger Guedes e até mesmo os garotos Gabriel Pereira e Du Queiroz, que vêm se destacando, então não é possível engolir tamanha a dificuldade corintiana em criar chances claras de gols e encontrar alternativas em meio ao ferrolho chapecoense.

A ausência de repertórios para explorar um leque gigante de defeitos do adversário mostra que o Corinthians tem muito a melhorar e a vitória, a base da torcida, nem sempre tenderá a acontecer.

O Timão precisa se encaixar, principalmente na questão meio-campo, pois com as peças individuais que tem é muito capaz da equipe do Parque São Jorge ter amplo domínio nas ações centrais. Mas isso não vem acontecendo, e incomoda.

Sunderland have reportedly agreed a deal for their fifth signing of the summer as they look to mount a promotion push under Regis Le Bris.

Sunderland start season strongly under Le Bris

Currently joint top of the Championship, Sunderland are yet to concede a goal this season and have scored six in return, though they did exit the EFL Cup at the hands of fellow Championship side Preston North End.

A 4-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday saw teenager Eliezer Mayenda net a brace and announce himself at the Stadium of Light, but there are still gaps in their frontline given his relative inexperience.

Sunderland would become even more of an attacking threat with this new signing.

So far, the only attacking addition has been free agent Ian Poveda, but the 24-year-old is yet to make his debut for the Black Cats, having only played 45 minutes of a reserve match so far. Despite this, Le Bris is keen to integrate him fast.

“I think he [Poveda] can play on both sides and as a No.10 as well. His preference is to play, then after to be available for the team. He’s left footed so on the right side it could be interesting but behind the striker could be very interesting as well. We have many opportunities with him.”

Now, he could be set to sign another exciting attacker to help his promotion push.

Sunderland et to sign £10,000-a-week striker

That comes as reports suggest that striker Wilson Isidor is "on his way" to join Sunderland in a boost to Le Bris' side. The former Monaco youth talent is currently plying his trade for Russian side Zenit St Petersburg, where he scored four times in 27 appearances last season, though given he was often used from the substitutes bench he averages a goal every 230 minutes.

But now he seems set to leave and head to the north-east of England in a likely loan deal without an option to buy. Speaking to Russian outlet Sport Express, Zenit chairman Alexander Medvedev appeared to confirm the move.

"Wilson Isidore on his way to Sunderland, England", he explained.

Predominantly a centre-forward, Isidor is also capable of playing in wide areas, which will hand Le Bris another option in attack, though that could soon balance out amid widespread interest in winger Jack Clarke from across the Premier League and Championship.

According to the report, the deal will take the shape of a loan, which could also include an option to buy the Frenchman at the end of his time in Sunderland. It is unclear how much of his reported £10,000-a-week wages the Black Cats will be asked to cover.

Sunderland writer Ethan Todd dubbed Isidor a "versatile forward" and a "really clever and tidy finisher" when discussing the striker on X, both of which will come as music to the ears of Sunderland fans, though their impressive winning start to the season has shown no absence of good finishing.

They will, however, be hoping that his arrival does not signal the departure of star man Clarke.

Now seemingly closing in on the arrival of Manuel Ugarte, Manchester United have reportedly turned their attention towards beating Chelsea to one particular forward's signature before the deadline.

Man Utd transfer news

It's been a summer full of positives for those at Old Trafford on the transfer front. They headed into the window in need of reinforcements all across Erik ten Hag's side and look likely to end it having welcomed exactly that. Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazaraoui, Leny Yoro, Joshua Zirkzee and now Ugarte should all strengthen the Red Devils in their own right.

That said, Manchester United still might not be done even as deadline day approaches, with defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion once again exposing their need for that extra star power that one forward would certainly give them.

According to The Standard, Manchester United have held preliminary talks to sign Ivan Toney from Brentford in an early attempt to hijack Chelsea's move.

The incredible talent could help the Englishman get back to his very best.

The forward looked likely to be off to Saudi Arabia and Al-Ahli, before they reportedly saw their bid rejected by Brentford, who are hoping that United's interest ignites a bidding war and they eventually receive their £40m asking price as a result this summer.

A move to Stamford Bridge reportedly remains Toney's priority, but in the latter stages of the window, his future still remains up for debate, which could allow United to swoop in. The Red Devils' goalscoring problems were there for all to see last season, but the Brentford star would put those issues to bed once and for all.

"Remarkable" Toney would seal perfect Man Utd summer

Getting one over on rivals Chelsea and signing a solution to their striker problem, welcoming Toney would turn a good summer perfect at Old Trafford. For just £40m, the Red Devils would be signing a player who was only outscored by Erling Haaland and Harry Kane in the 2022/23 campaign, before he was handed a lengthy suspension for breaching betting rules last term.

Now ready for his first full season back from that suspension and on the hunt for a big move, Toney is likely to pick up where he left off. That said, the 28-year-old must ensure that he solves the dilemma of his club future in the coming days after being frozen out of Thomas Frank's Brentford side amid such speculation.

It's quite the fall from where Toney once found himself at the club and under Frank, who has been full of praise for the forward throughout his rise to stardom for the Bees.

The Brentford boss previously told the club's official website: “Ivan is amazing in many, many aspects. The way he copes with pressure and distractions is amazing. He’s been scoring goals, performing for the team and driving the team. He’s remarkable."

He is expected to fill in for Ravi Shastri, who will be with the Test squad in the UK

ESPNcricinfo staff20-May-2021

Rahul Dravid is likely to tour Sri Lanka in July as the head coach of India’s limited-overs squads, ESPNcricinfo has learned. The BCCI is yet to make the formal announcement but Dravid is expected to tour Sri Lanka in the absence of head coach Ravi Shastri, bowling coach Bharat Arun and batting coach Vikram Rathour, who will all be with the Test squad in the UK from early June to late September for the WTC final and the five Tests against England.India are scheduled to tour Sri Lanka for three ODIs and as many T20Is from July 13 to 27 with a second-string squad because 20 of India’s top players and four standbys will be in England at the time. Having coached several India A and Under-19 sides over the last few years, Dravid will already be familiar with numerous India players who are likely to be picked for the Sri Lanka tour.Related

Dravid is currently the head of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru and the other NCA staff members are likely to be split into two parties of which one will tour Sri Lanka with Dravid and the other will travel to England with the India Women’s squad next month. ESPNcricinfo has learned that former India quick Paras Mhambrey, who has also coached the men’s A sides and Under-19 teams, is the leading candidate to tour Sri Lanka as the bowling coach of the men’s limited-overs sides.Dravid has played a major role in moulding the younger members of the India sides who trained under him at the A and Under-19 levels and have gone on to win international matches. BCCI president Sourav Ganguly had also praised his former team-mate for doing a “great job at the NCA” for looking after the second-string players. Dravid moved from being head coach of the A and Under-19 sides to the director of cricket at the NCA in 2019.According to a proposed itinerary from SLC, India will play the three ODIs on July 13, 16 and 19 and the T20Is on July 22, 24 and 27. India’s white-ball squad is expected to arrive in Sri Lanka on July 5, according to the preliminary itinerary. They will serve a week-long quarantine beginning with three days of hard quarantine in hotel rooms followed by four days of training but with movement strictly restricted between the hotel and the grounds. They will then fly back to India on July 28.To keep the safety of the teams’ bubbles intact, the matches are likely to be played without crowds. The Sooriyawewa ground near Hambantota and the stadium in Dambulla are the frontrunners to host the matches.India last toured Sri Lanka in 2018 for the Nidahas T20 tri-series and in 2017 for a bilateral all-format tour.
