Celtic must secure pre-contract with Bright Osayi-Samuel in January

It was one long transfer window for Celtic boss Neil Lennon and it went right down to the wire with the defending Scottish champions concluding their business with a loan swoop for AC Milan defender Diego Laxalt on deadline day.

He became the sixth capture of the summer, joining the likes of Vasilas Barkas, David Turnbull, Shane Duffy and Alban Ajeti in the famous green and white hoops.

These moves will certainly aid the quest to clinch a historic tenth title in a row and they’ll need to get to work straight away as they sit behind arch-rivals Rangers in the SPFL standings, though that could change when the two teams go head-to-head after the international break.

And whilst Lennon’s business stops here, the Bhoys’ recruitment and scouting network will still be looking at players ahead of the January transfer window, which is merely a few months away.

One name stands out too.

According to Football Insider last month, the Parkhead outfit had begun working on a move to sign Queens Park Rangers sensation Bright Osayi-Samuel, who is out of contract in the summer.

That means Celtic can swoop in and tie him down to a pre-contract agreement in the winter transfer window, thus not commanding a fee from Peter Lawwell and Nick Hammond.

The 22-year-old looked set to join Club Brugge for £5m earlier in the summer before the move collapsed and now it’s time for the patient Hoops to make their move.

Osayi-Samuel was an unsung hero next to Eberechi Eze last season, who seemingly took all of the plaudits, as he scored five goals and provided eight assists whilst averaging a whopping 2.9 dribbles and 1.2 shots per game, via WhoScored.

That form has continued into this campaign with the Nigerian-born winger scoring once in the Rs opening four matches, also averaging four dribbles per game.

It’s no wonder he’s received so many glowing endorsements in recent times. Steve McClaren deemed him as a “real star of the future” whilst current boss Mark Warburton hailed his man for being a “real handful” who has “sheer pace that terrifies defenders”.

Osayi-Samuel may be one for next season but that shouldn’t stop the Scottish giants going all out to secure him at the next opportunity.

مهاجم ليفربول السابق: محمد صلاح يشبه ميسي.. وهو الأفضل في أوروبا الآن

طالب مهاجم نادي ليفربول الأسبق، ديرك كويت، إدارة الريدز بسرعة تجديد عقد مهاجم وجناح الفريق الأول لكرة القدم الحالي، محمد صلاح، للاستمرار داخل قلعة “آنفيلد”.

لعب كويت مع ليفربول لمدة 6 سنوات في الفترة من 2006 إلى 2012، وسجل 71 هدفًا في 286 مباراة في جميع البطولات التي نافس عليها الفريق الإنجليزي.

وتحدث الهولندي الدولي السابق عن رأيه في محمد صلاح، وقال في تصريحات لشبكة “سكاي سبورتس”: “أشاهد الكثير من مباريات كرة القدم حاليًا، أتابع الدوري الإسباني، الدوري الإنجليزي ودوري أبطال أوروبا ومسابقات أوروبية أخرى”.

وتابع: “ما يفعله محمد صلاح في الوقت الحالي هو أمر لا يصدق، يسجل أهدافًا رائعة، يشبه ليونيل ميسي، أعتقد أنه يقوم بنفس الأشياء التي كان يفعلها (الأرجنتيني)”.

وأضاف: “في مباراة الأمس أمام أتلتيكو مدريد وكذلك أمام واتفورد، يفعل كل شيء مع ليفربول، بعيدًا عن الحظ الذي كان معه في تسجيل هدفه الأول”.

وواصل تصريحاته: “لكنه يتخطى مدافعي أتلتيكو مدريد بدون أي مشكلة، رغم قوتهم المعروفة، لكنه يستمتع بلعبه في المباريات، بالنسبة لي، فهو أفضل أداء أراه من لاعب في أوروبا”.

وعن تجديد عقد محمد صلاح: “إذا كنت مسئولًا في ليفربول، كنت سأفعل كل شيء للحفاظ على جميع اللاعبين لفرض مزيد من الاستقرار وثبات التشكيل وهو ما يشعر اللاعب بالارتياح بجانب زملائه الحاليين”.

واستمر: “لذا، أولًا وقبل كل شيء، سأوقع معه لأطول فترة ممكنة، ولكن أيضًا أحاول الإبقاء على اللاعبين الآخرين لأن ليفربول يمتلك فريقًا رائعًا وجهاز فني جيد”.

وأتم: “في الموسم الماضي، عانوا بالطبع بعض الشيء، لكن أعتقد بسبب الإصابات الكثيرة، الآن هم يتحلون بالقوة وفازوا بالعديد من المباريات وآمل أن يظل هؤلاء اللاعبين مع الفريق لفترة طويلة”.

Serginho espera que arrancada do Vasco no returno não seja em vão

MatériaMais Notícias

Com uma ótima campanha no segundo turno (27 pontos), o Vasco ganhou sobrevida no Campeonato Brasileiro e entra na última rodada ainda podendo escapar do rebaixamento. Caso tivesse repetido a campanha no turno (fez apenas 13), o Cruz-Maltino estaria livre de qualquer ameaça e, quem sabe, até buscando uma vaga na Libertadores.

Para não ver a luta a equipe em vão, Serginho espera que a reviravolta do segundo turno seja finalizada com a permanência na elite do futebol nacional.

– Realmente uma campanha muito boa. Alguns torcedores que encontro na rua me perguntam: por que não fizeram isso desde o início do Brasileiro? A gente queria vencer, ser campeão invicto, mas sabemos que não funciona assim. Segundo turno foi uma superação que, se Deus quiser, vai ser coroada domingo – avisou.

Para seguir na Série A, o Vasco precisa derrotar o Coritiba, no domingo, às 17h (de Brasília), no Couto Pereira, e ainda torcer para que Figueirense e Avaí, no mínimo, empatem com Fluminense (Orlando Scarpelli) e Corinthians (Itaquerão), respectivamente.

Glasgow Rangers striker Kemar Roofe steals the show against Standard Liege

Glasgow Rangers put Standard Liege to the sword in their opening game of the Europa League group stages at the Stade Maurice Dufrasne on Thursday night.

Steven Gerrard’s side struggled from a slow start before a customary penalty from James Tavernier broke the deadlock. The club captain is now the Ibrox outfit’s top scorer this season with nine goals in all competitions. The right-back has also scored five penalties so far.

Forget about Tavernier for one second though – his teammate Kemar Roofe stole the show after scoring an outrageous goal in the 2-0 win over Standard Liege in the Europa League. It’s one of those goals that has to be seen to be believed.

The Rangers boss singled out Roofe for praise for his ridiculous effort. He said: “The goal was a moment of genius. It was a world class moment. I’ve been playing football professionally since 1998 and it’s the best goal I’ve ever seen live.

“He collects the ball 15 yards outside our box. He is strong for two challenges. He holds the player off for the third challenge and then he takes the player on in the worst conditions I’ve seen.

“Then to have the vision, and the power and the class to score from 55 yards. I don’t think I’ve seen a better goal and I don’t think I will see a better goal.”

Per SofaScore, the 27-year-old won 50% of his duels overall, took one shot on target and completed one successful dribble attempt, whilst he took made one tackle and took 13 touches of the ball, which shows that he contributed defensively as well.

Roofe’s goal is arguably one of the greatest goals of all time, let alone one of the greatest goals in the club’s history. In fact, it’s the stuff that dreams are made of, the kind of goal every child dreams about at night. But his brief cameo shows that he has so much more to offer and shows that Gerrard has options at the top of the pitch.

Speaking to BT Sport, as relayed by The Daily Record, Scottish legend Gordon Strachan hailed the “magnificent” striker, saying: “It’s like a golf shot. You know fine well in the first couple of yards it’s going to be a good one.

“He knew fine well the goalie would be off his line, and that was an absolutely magnificent hit.

“It was deserved for the performance I thought they were terrific tonight, Rangers.”

Rangers are enjoying a 15-game unbeaten run, stretching back to the 1-0 win against Aberdeen at the start of the season. If Gerrard’s side are to regain their title, we suspect that the £4m-rated ace may have an important part to play.

AND in other news, Glasgow Rangers have discovered a bargain buy in former Leeds striker Kemar Roofe… 

Coronel Nunes exalta Del Nero, mas esquiva-se sobre denúncias a ele

MatériaMais Notícias

Especulado como provável candidato a vice-presidente da CBF no pleito do dia 16 de dezembro, o dirigente Antonio Carlos Nunes de Lima se manifestou sobre a situação atual na entidade. Em entrevista publicada pelo Globoesporte.com nesta segunda-feira, o presidente da Federação Paraense de Futebol teceu elogios à forma como Marco Polo Del Nero dialogou com as federações:

-Ele abriu a CBF para a gente conversar. Ele tinha experiência da Federação Paulista. Sempre manteve administração democrática na CBF, atendia a todos, respondia a todos. Tem dirigente para quem você liga e só fala depois de passar pelo crivo de uma secretária. Marco Polo não. Você liga, ele mesmo retorna, é uma administração democrática.

Porém, o Coronel Nunes evitou pronunciar-se sobre as denúncias de corrupção das quais o dirigente é alvo no momento:

-Eu sou coronel da Polícia Militar do Pará e também sou bacharel em Direito, conheço bastante. É difícil a gente se manifestar sem conhecer os autos. A gente vê as notícias daqui e de lá. Ninguém vai acreditar ou desacraditar. Eu quero me manifestar quando tiver acesso aos autos.

O Coronel Nunes garantiu estar ciente de que pode “herdar” a presidência da CBF em caso de renúncia de Del Nero. O dirigente garantiu que abrirá diálogo com as demais partes:

– Eu estou acompanhando o processo. A Fifa pode afastar o Marco Polo, pode não afastar. Seria ingênuo eu te dizer que não estou acompanhando. A gente tem condições, sim. Se de repente eu tiver que assumir em definitivo, aí eu tenho que chamar as pessoas de bem e ouvir os projetos delas. Não é o Coronel Nunes que vai decidir tudo sozinho.

Aos seus olhos, Dunga seguirá com seu trabalho à frente da Seleção Brasileira. Coronel Nunes disse que o desempenho do treinador é positivo:

-Não vou ser o carrasco de chegar e mudar o técnico da nossa seleção, que é uma paixão nacional.Vou te falar: eu conheço o Dunga, é uma pessoa muito séria. Aquele tom de austeridade que a gente vê no semblante do Dunga é o mesmo do tempo que ele era jogador. Acho até agora que está indo bem.

Em carta, Barcelona rebate Santos e diz que não pagará bônus de Neymar

MatériaMais Notícias

Por meio de uma carta enviada nominalmente ao presidente Modesto Roma Júnior, o Barcelona informou ao Santos que não irá depositar os 2 milhões de euros (valor pouco superior a R$ 8 milhões) referentes à indicação de Neymar entre os três concorrentes à Bola de Ouro da Fifa, item previsto no contrato de venda da Joia ao clube espanhol, em 2013. A íntegra da carta foi publicada pelo jornal “Estado de São Paulo”, e o Santos afirma que seu mandatário ainda não teve acesso ao documento. Consultado pelo L!, o clube afirma que não irá se posicionar antes que Modesto tenha o documento em mãos.

O argumento dos advogados do Barcelona para a decisão de não depositar o bônus milionário ao Peixe é que “não podemos aceitar que os compromissos contratuais tenham significado e alcance diferentes em função do que convenha ao Santos (…) já que há uma denúncia do Santos na Fifa em que acusa o Barcelona de orquestrar uma operação para enganar seu clube”, diz o departamento jurídico do clube.

O Barcelona ainda embasa sua decisão dizendo que o Santos não cumpriu requisitos básicos para o pagamentos dos 2 milhões de euros, como a emissão de fatura com os impostos pagos e recebidos, a comprovação da titularidade da conta bancária e a apresentação de um documento em que garante a correra utilização do valor a ser recebido.

Neymar foi vendido pelo Santos em 2013, durante uma licença do presidente Luis Alvaro de Oliveira Ribeiro e já sob o comando de Odílio Rodrigues. Além dos 17 milhões de euros da operação em si, o clube espanhol concordou em pagar outros valores para o Santos não precisar dividir com a DIS, que detinha parte dos direitos econômicos da Joia. Além da preferência de compra de jogadores do Peixe, dois amistosos e intercâmbio nas categorias de base, os clubes fecharam o bônus em caso de indicação de Neymar à Bola de Ouro.

ألابا يرفض مقارنته بـ راموس ويرشح 4 أندية للفوز بدوري أبطال أوروبا

رفض ديفيد ألابا لاعب فريق ريال مدريد المقارنة مع سيرجيو راموس، قائد النادي الملكي السابق، والذي رحل في الصيف الماضي إلى باريس سان جيرمان.

ألابا انضم إلى ريال مدريد الصيف الماضي قادمًا من بايرن ميونخ، في صفقة انتقال حر بعد نهاية عقده مع النادي الألماني الذي قضى معه 13 عامًا.

وقال دافيد الابا في تصريحات لصحيفة “كيكر” الألمانية: “سعيد بتسجيلي في الكلاسيكو، كان أمرًا رائعًا، كان أول لقاء لي في الكلاسيكو، وتلقيت العديد من الرسائل لتهنئتي”.

وعن تأقلمه مع ريال مدريد: “لدي منزل في مدريد، وأشعر براحة كبيرة هنا، لكن زملائي في الفريق جعلوا الأمر أسهل بالنسبة لي، كذلك عائلتي تشعر بالراحة”.

وشدد: “أتحدث كثيرًا مع روبرتو كارلوس عن كرة القدم والحياة في ريال مدريد، وكذلك راؤول جونزاليس مدرب فريق الشباب، تعلمت الكثير في ريال مدريد من خلالهما”.

وعن القاسم المشترك بين ريال مدريد وبايرن ميونخ، قال: “كلاهما يمثل النجاح المطلق، ولكن في ريال مدريد كل شيء أكبر بكثير، تشعر بعراقة كبيرة هنا، دون التقليل من بايرن ميونخ واحترامه”.

وعن الاختلافات بين الدوري الألماني والإسباني: “في إسبانيا الأمر مختلف، ليفانتي وألافيس يحاولون لعب كرة القدم من الخلف، وتكتيكات مختلفة، ولكن في ألمانيا الأمر أكثر وضوحًا ومباشرة، ولا يهتمون بالاستحواذ مثل إسبانيا”.

ورفض المقارنة مع سيرجيو راموس: “لقد جئت إلى هنا لكتابة تاريخ خاص بي، لا أتعامل مع تلك المقارنات التي يصنعها البعض، أنا مختلف عن راموس، ومن الصعب المقارنة بيننا”.

وأشاد ببنزيما: “كريم لديه مقومات رائعة، أراه كل يوم في صالة الألعاب الرياضية، يتجدد ويعتني بجسده، إنه مصدر إلهام لأنه من أوائل الواصلين إلى التدريبات كل يوم، وفي المباريات الجميع يرى كم هو مهمًا بالنسبة لنا”.

وشدد: “كل ما ذكرته عن كريم، أستطيع أن أقوله على ليفاندوفسكي، نجوم يقودون أنديتهم ولا تخلوا عواطفهم من الجوع والطموع والعمل”.

وعن أهدافه مع ريال مدريد: “طموحنا في دوري الأبطال لا يتغير، نحن ريال مدريد، ولا يمكننا أن نتوقف عن السعي لتحقيق هذا اللقب، كذلك الدوري الإسباني، لقد ولد ريال مدريد ليكون ناجحًا وبطلًا”.

وبعيدًا عن ريال مدريد، رشح ألابا 4 أندية للفوز بدوري أبطال أوروبا هذا الموسم: “بايرن ميونخ بل شك وليفربول وكذلك تشيلسي وباريس سان جيرمان، ولكن مازال الطريق طويل وليس من السهل الوصول إلى النهائي والفوز به، هناك العديد من المهام الصعبة”.

واختتم عن سبب عدم التجديد لـ بايرن ميونخ، قال: “أنا ممتن للنادي لما قدمه لي طوال الـ13 عامًا، لقد أكدت دائمًا عى هذا، ولا أريد التفكير بالأشياء السلبية”.

Brazil call-up for Douglas Luiz proves Aston Villa got an absolute steal

After signing him from Manchester City for a reported £15m in the summer of 2019, Dean Smith made it clear just how much of a coup it was that Aston Villa had managed to get Douglas Luiz.

He said: “Douglas is an extremely talented young player with an outstanding pedigree who I am sure will fit nicely into our style and system of play.”

Fast forward more than a year later, and his rise has been meteoric to say the least. The fact that the 22-year-old hadn’t played a single game for City, and had spent the previous two campaigns on loan at Spanish side Girona, underlined that this wasn’t a player who was absolutely headed for stardom.

Hilariously obscure Premier League players – Can you name them all?

World Class score: 95% | Expert score: 80% | Veteran score: 65% | Intermediate score: 45% | Amateur score: 30% | Try Again: 5%

But under Smith’s guidance at Villa Park, he has developed into an impressive central midfielder, so much so that the club announced that Brazil had called him up again for their senior side for the upcoming internationals. It will see him more than likely add to the first two caps he has already earned.

Described as “unbelievable” by his club boss, journalist Gregg Evans hailed him earlier in the summer after a particularly impressive performance against Manchester United.

He said: “He’s an absolute joy to watch now and I never thought I would be saying that. Villa have got a fantastic player in Douglas Luiz now, he looks like an absolute star, he could have played in that Man United team.

“He was better than (Paul) Pogba, I thought. I thought he was brilliant, hardly did anything wrong, hardly put a foot wrong. He won so many interceptions and made so many important blocks. When he gets the ball, he passes it nicely. He’s the best player in that Villa team at the moment because it’s just not working for John McGinn.”

With yet more international caps for a footballing giant like Brazil to come, it just goes to show that former sporting director, Suso, got an absolute steal in signing Luiz for just £15m last year.

Southampton must prioritise Ryan Bertrand’s new contract

Southampton were handed a big boost earlier this week as Spanish midfielder Oriol Romeu committed to a new contract with the South Coast club, but the Saints must not rest on their laurels and should now prioritise extending Ryan Bertrand’s contract.

The defensive midfielder’s contract had been set to extend at the end of this campaign but has now signed on till the end of the 2023 season (per Southampton).

It means that of Ralph Hasenhuttl’s first-team regulars, only Bertrand’s contract is set to expire at the end of the current season and Saints should do everything they can to ensure that he doesn’t depart on a free transfer next summer.

The 31-year-old joined Southampton from Chelsea in February 2015 and has been a regular for the Saints in his five-and-a-half years with the club; making 214 appearances, in which he has contributed eight goals and 19 assists (per Transfermarkt).

Bertrand has been a regular for Hasenhuttl’s side so far this season, having appeared in seven of their eight Premier League fixtures thus far, in which he has averaged a solid, if unspectacular, 6.68 rating (per WhoScored).

The former England international picked up an injury in Villa’s recent win against Aston Villa and it is unknown when he is going to return, which could be a big blow for the South Coast club, as other than Bertrand, they have just 20-year-old Jake Vokins currently available as a natural left-back in their squad.

This suggests that left-back is not a position which Hasenhuttl has a lot of options in, so the club must ensure they are not left short-handed next season if they let Bertrand depart on a free transfer.

Although he is now 31-years-old, the fact he has still been a regular in the Southampton side which has performed so well so far this season demonstrates that he still has the ability to play at the top level.

Reports last month suggested Danny Ings was set to sign a new long-term contract at St Mary’s, but with his deal running until 2022 currently, there are arguably bigger priorities.

Hopefully, after Romeu’s contract was sorted this week, the club will begin negotiations over a new contract for the £9.45 million-rated Bertrand in the near future.
