Crystal Palace are now eyeing a move for a “sensational” midfielder, but there could be competition for his signature from a number of their Premier League rivals, according to a report.

Palace keen on a midfielder amid Wharton uncertainty

Had Palace made a better start to the campaign, they could be major contenders for the Europa League this season, although they still have an outside chance of pushing for the European places, given their fantastic form over the past few weeks.

The Eagles are undefeated since February in the Premier League, picking up some impressive victories over the likes of Aston Villa and rivals Brighton & Hove Albion, so it is little wonder some of their key figures are starting to attract attention.

One such player is midfielder Adam Wharton, who has been linked with moves to Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, and should the 21-year-old leave this summer, Oliver Glasner will be tasked with bringing in a replacement.

He’s enjoyed an excellent season…

ByTom Cunningham Apr 5, 2025

SC Freiburg’s Martin Rohl is one option for the south Londoners, having emerged as shock contenders for the 22-year-old, alongside Liverpool and Newcastle United, with the German potentially set to be available for £21m.

There is a clear focus on bringing in talented young players at Selhurst Park, and a report from Caught Offside has now revealed Crystal Palace are eyeing a summer move for Sunderland’s Jobe Bellingham.

However, a whole host of top Premier League clubs are also in the race for the 19-year-old, with Chelsea currently showing the strongest interest, so it may be a tough ask for the Eagles to win the race for his signature.

Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund headline the interest from abroad, and a move to the latter club could appeal, given his older brother’s impressive stint at Signal Iduna Park, which earned him a move to Real Madrid.

"Sensational" Bellingham would be exciting addition for Palace

It remains to be seen whether the 19-year-old can go on to achieve what his brother Jude has in the game, but he has certainly been showing promising signs at Sunderland in the Championship.

The Black Cats are vying for promotion this season, and the teenager, who is thought to be valued at £20m, has been one of their key players, picking up four goals and three assists in 36 league games.

Not only that, but the young midfielder has caught the eye of journalist Josh Bunting, who previously lauded him as “sensational”, and his performances this season indicate he is now ready to make the step up to the Premier League.

It could be very difficult for Palace to win the race for Bellingham, particularly if European football is not on offer next season, but it would certainly appease Glasner if they secure a deal, given that the manager wanted the youngster last summer, indicating he is a fan.

Ben Allison claims three wickets as Pepper, Cox aid 167-run chase

ECB Reporters Network20-Jun-2024Essex 170 for 2 (Elgar 60*, Pepper 44, Cox 41*) beat Hampshire 166 for 7 (Weatherley 48, Fuller 39*, Allison 3-39) by eight wickets Dean Elgar showed off all his variations with his third fifty of the Vitality Blast to give Essex a comfortable fourth victory of the competition.South African Elgar never looked fussed in chasing 167, as his 60 not out made in conjunction with the swashbuckling of Adam Rossington’s quick-fire 18, Michael Pepper’s swaggering 44 off 24 and Jordan Cox’s slow-burning unbeaten 41.Hampshire had been dragged a middling score by a late James Fuller flurry of 39 off 16, after Joe Weatherley had stoically struck 48, but as was the case in last year’s rain-affected semi-final, it wasn’t enough.After losing James Vince and Ben McDermott within three balls of each other in identical swings to deep square, the Hawks seemed to tempo their innings towards a 160 total having been stuck in.Weatherley and T20 debutant Fletcha Middleton ticked the runs along but never appeared in too much rush during a 47-run alliance.One reason for Hampshire’s tardiness either side of the powerplay was the dead-eye accurate spell from Simon Harmer – who on his 100th T20 appearance for Essex didn’t concede a boundary in his four overs.The regular wicket-taking came from others though, with Paul Walter strangling Middleton down the legside to end that partnership, and Matt Critchley stopping Toby Albert and Benny Howell from getting going.Weatherley only scored four boundaries in his 48 but never looked bogged down. He was only denied a half-century when a straight drive smashed the non-striker’s stumps and he was lbw to Ben Allison next ball – Allison ended up with three for 44.At 117 for six with 20 balls to go, it looked like Hampshire had undercooked their scoring – but Fuller entered to blast some crucial death over runs.He played the biggest hand in the final three overs going for 14, 13 and 17 runs – with five six included and the total now looking closer to par.Hampshire had an all-pace attack – with Liam Dawson ill and missing a Hawks T20 after 43 straight appearances – and learned the lesson of the faster you bowl, the further it goes.Adam Rossington started to prove that theory by pumping Michael Neser for six, six, four before the Australian took the pace off and found Rossington chipping to mid-off.Elgar had already swatted Chris Wood straight back over his head for six and took the quick run-scoring lead with his elegant risk-free hitting.His fifty off 34 balls relied more on the meaty middle of his bat than extravagant or inventive shots, with Pepper more than matching his rate.Pepper strode past 250 runs in this season’s Blast – surviving a drop on three – before his 80-run stand, off 47 balls, with Elgar was ended when he swished to long on.Cox showed no interest in the six-hitting of his predecessors to make sure no collapse was forthcoming to put on an unbroken 59 with the ever-nonplussed Elgar.He did open up with the winning post in sight with a couple of sixes off John Turner, as victory was secured with 20 balls to spare – with Cox classically driving to the boundary for an eight-wicket win.

da aposte e ganhe： Um dos movimentos mais naturais do futebol são os clubes receberem contatos de empresários oferecendo atletas. E no Corinthians isso tem acontecido muito, principalmente após a confirmação da lesão no menisco do meia Renato Augusto.

Há representantes que já faziam contato com a direção corintiana antes mesmo do problema físico do camisa 8, mas ofereciam atletas que atuam pelo centro do gramado por saberem que o Timão já estava em busca de uma alternativa para situações de ausência do seu principal articulador. No entanto, depois que Renato sofreu a contusão, o celular do presidente Duílio Monteiro Alves e o gerente de futebol Alessandro Nunes têm tocado com mais frequência.

da winzada777： +Globo demite profissionais renomados: veja as movimentações da imprensa esportiva em 2023

Ainda assim, todos os nomes apresentados até o momento à cúpula corintiana não foram levados para frente. A ideia de quem comanda o clube alvinegro é somente contratar uma alternativa para Renato Augusto em duas situações: oportunidade de mercado com um atleta de qualidade técnica incontestável dentro de um custo-benefício que se enquadrem nos padrões corintianos ou um jovem promissor que sinaliza um ótimo potencial de retorno financeiro no futuro, além de agregar tecnicamente no presente.

A diretoria do Timão vai seguir monitorando o mercado, principalmente o externo, onde entende que conseguirá encontrar alternativas que agreguem mais ao nível técnico da equipe. A janela de transferências para movimentações no Brasil tem duração até a próxima quarta-feiras (20), mas a opinião do estafe corintiano é que não há opções qualificadas à disposição no território brasileiro no momento.

O Corinthians não se opõe em conversar com empresários, preza pelas boas relações, mas tem sido objetivo nas respostas de avaliações. Além disso, tanto no cenário interno, quanto no externo, o Timão possui ótimas relações com intermediários que têm ajudado o clube em alguns monitoramentos e negociações com atletas nos últimos anos.

A horrible sense of déjà vu is beginning to creep into proceedings at Elland Road as another spectacular promotion collapse might well be on the cards for Leeds United.

Last campaign, Daniel Farke’s Whites found themselves in and around the automatic promotion positions for the majority of the hectic season, only for the lottery of the Championship playoffs to slap them in the face come May.

Giving up a last-gasp equaliser to Swansea City on Saturday means Leeds sit precariously in second spot on goal difference, as Illan Meslier’s wobbly demeanour in between the sticks let down the West Yorkshire outfit once more.

Meslier's performance vs Swansea

The Frenchman, despite keeping a bumper 21 clean sheets in league action this season, has an error in his game waiting to come to the forefront – with three errors leading to goals and one own goal.

This time around versus Alan Sheehan’s visitors, the ex-Lorient shot-stopper added to his growing catalogue of howlers when he inexplicably dropped the ball after a corner was initially dealt with into the path of Harry Darling to fire home.

The error-prone number one was originally deemed a hero before this moment of madness, with this penalty save early on boosting Leeds’ confidence and Meslier’s, but yet another unfortunate mishap helped Swansea return back to Wales with a share of the points.

Of course, the stopper wasn’t the only notable underperformer as Leeds failed to win, with this defender in front of the shaky 25-year-old also struggling at points against one of his former employers.

The Leeds defender who was as bad as Meslier

A number of Farke’s trusted first-team personnel looked ropey coming up against the Swans, with Ethan Ampadu looking notably lethargic in the middle of the park, resulting in his manager hooking him off before the hour mark.

Ampadu’s fellow Welsh compatriot Joe Rodon was also way off his best, with the Swansea-born centre-back giving up that first-half penalty when he rashly clattered into ex-Leeds target Lewis O’Brien.

Away from handing Swansea a golden opportunity via a spot-kick, Rodon was also uncharacteristically sloppy with the ball at his feet with possession squandered a costly 15 times during his 90 minutes on the Elland Road turf, on top of 14 of his 76 passes going astray.

Moreover, it wasn’t the most convincing display defensively either in terms of rolling his sleeves up with zero blocked shots or interceptions registered, away from valiantly managing to win six duels, and it was an afternoon to forget for the former Spurs man.

This out-of-sorts showing is unlikely to result in Rodon being dropped from Farke’s XI altogether, considering the Whites number five has started all of his team’s second tier games this season so far, but the Welshman will know any more leaky displays of this manner could cost his high-flying side dear in the automatic promotion battle.

Despite his team slipping up on their own patch, Farke defiantly declared after the 2-2 draw that his side are still 100% on for a return to the Premier League, with Whites fans desperately hoping that the German’s bold words come true.

On this viewing, however, Burnley and Sheffield United will feel confident they can upset the apple cart in West Yorkshire, with Meslier and Co needing to be more robust ahead of some crunch contests to come in the enthralling Championship.

da aposte e ganhe： Ao que tudo indica, o caminho do Botafogo para se reorganizar financeiramente tende a ser a recuperação extrajudicial. De acordo com o blog “Panorama Esportivo”, do jornal “O Globo, o Conselho Diretor do Alvinegro, que é formado pelo presidente e vices da associação, continua a tentar aprovar este caminho para substituir o Regime Centralizado de Execuções (RCE).

Como o RCE não protegeu o clube de penhoras, ao contrário do que era previsto na lei, e teve alta de juros a SAF está em busca de credores por um caminho mais viável. O pedido foi colocado em votação pelo Conselho Deliberativo, mas retirado rapidamente de pauta em meio a reclamações de conselheiros, que contestaram a pouca transparência do processo.

-Não só hoje, mas em todo o Campeonato Paulista eles lotaram a nossa casa e nos apoiaram. Temos que agradecer e hoje nos desculpar com eles. Eles merecem títulos e vitórias, vamos fazer o nosso melhor para dar alegrias aos nossos torcedores. Esse é o nosso intuito aqui dentro de campo – completou.

Agora, o foco do São Paulo será nas próximas etapas da temporada. Nos próximos dois meses, estreia na Copa do Brasil, Sul-Americana e no Campeonato Brasileiro.

أبرز لوكاس فاسكيز، الوافد الجديد إلى صفوف نادي باير ليفركوزن، أهمية الدور الذي لعبه المدرب السابق للنادي الألماني، تشابي ألونسو في اختيار الظهير الأيمن لوجهته الجديدة.

فاسكيز وقع مع نادي باير ليفركوزن بشكل رسمي أمس الثلاثاء في صفقة انتقال حر وبعقد مدته عامين، بعد نهاية عقده مع نادي ريال مدريد.

وقرر فاسكيز وضع حد لمسيرته مع ريال مدريد، والتي كانت حافلة بالألقاب طوال السنوات العشر الماضية، حيث لم يجدد ابن الـ34 عامًا عقده مع الفريق الملكي.

وأشار فاسكيز في حديثه إلى قناة باير ليفركوزن الرسمي، أن ألونسو لعب دورًا هامًا في انتقاله إلى صفوف النادي الألماني.

ودرب ألونسو ليفركوزن لمدة موسمين ونصف وحقق معهم إنجازات كبيرة قبل الانتقال إلى تدريب ريال مدريد هذا الصيف.

وقال فاسكيز: “نعم، تحدثت مع ألونسو مسبقًا، أشاد كثيرًا بالنادي والمؤسسة والفريق، في الحقيقة، أنا سعيد جدًا بوجودي هنا، وممتن جدًا لتشابي على المساعدة التي قدمها لي”.

وأضاف فاسكيز في حديثه: “أنضم إلى الفريق للمساعدة، وللمساهمة بدوري، ولأحاول الاستفادة من خبرتي حتى يتمكن اللاعبون الشباب والجميع من بناء فريق رائع وتقديم موسم رائع”.

وأوضح: ”حسنًا، أعتقد أن أدائي على الجناح، وقدرتي على اللعب في جميع أنحاء الملعب، للأمام والخلف، يمكنني من مساعدة الفريق هجوميًا ودفاعيًا”.

وعن أسباب اختياره ارتداء الرقم 21 مع ليفركوزن اختتم فاسكيز: ”هو رقم أحبه، وفي المنزل أجرينا تصويتًا مع الأطفال، وقد فضلوا الرقم 21 على ما كان متاحًا”.

Nottingham Forest claimed a vital win over Manchester City at the City Ground yesterday, massively boosting their chances of finishing in the Premier League’s top four.

Nuno Espírito Santo’s side claimed their 15th league win of the season, moving them four points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men in their unlikely pursuit of a Champions League place.

Morgan Gibbs-White registered yet another assist in what has been a superb campaign for the Englishman, taking his tally to 11 combined goals and assists in the top flight throughout 2024/25.

Such form has forced himself into the plans of England boss Thomas Tuchel, giving the German a huge chance of including him in the first squad ahead of the upcoming international break.

One other first-team member has also demonstrated his quality at the City Ground, potentially linking up with Gibbs-White in the national setup in the next few weeks.

Callum Hudson-Odoi’s stats for Forest in 2024/25

Winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has been one of the biggest bargains in recent times, joining Forest for just £3m back in the summer of 2023, reigniting his promising career in the East Midlands.

The 24-year-old registered eight goals and two assists in his debut campaign at the club, already hitting five goals this season, with his latest effort coming in the win over the defending champions.

His effort in the closing stages claimed all three points, notching his third goal in his last five league outings – playing a pivotal role in their top-four pursuit.

Hudson-Odoi was unlucky not to register another goal, with City ‘keeper Ederson making a superb save to deny the former Chelsea man from opening the scoring earlier on in the encounter.

Despite his impressive goalscoring run in recent weeks, the attacker has been outscored by a player who’s thrived since his move away from the club a couple of years ago.

The former Forest star who has outscored Hudson-Odoi in 2024/25

After promotion to the Premier League ahead of the 2022/23 season, Forest caught the eye with their additions, which saw 22 new signings arrive on the banks of the River Trent.

It’s safe to say additions were needed after promotion, with the majority of the stars during the 2021/22 season on loan at the Reds and subsequently departed.

Other first-team members departed, including Joe Lolley, who was allowed to leave on a free transfer to join Australian outfit Sydney FC – ending his four-and-a-half-year stint in the East Midlands.

The winger captured the hearts of the fanbase during his time at the City Ground, catching the eye with his ability to cut inside and fire home with his left foot off the right-hand side.

The 32-year-old scored 26 times in 171 appearances, thriving beyond all imagination after his £500k move from Huddersfield Town in January 2018.

His move down under has allowed the Englishman to recapture his goalscoring form, scoring 11 times and notching six assists in his 24 outings – subsequently outscoring Hudson-Odoi and helping his side push for a qualification spot in the A-League.

After his successful stint in the East Midlands, it’s great to see Lolley thriving once again, producing the quality that the supporters know he’s capable of on a consistent basis.

He was ultimately a victim of the club’s rapid success under Steve Cooper, but given the quality of the likes of Hudson-Odoi currently at the City Ground, it was the right call to allow him to leave to showcase his talents elsewhere.
