Sheffield Wednesday pushing to seal January move for "fantastic" 21 y/o ace

Sheffield Wednesday are believed to be pushing to sign a “fantastic” Premier League player in the January transfer window, according to reliable journalist Joe Crann.

Sheffield Wednesday facing injury crisis

The Owls suffered a damaging defeat in the Championship on Sunday afternoon, falling to a 3-1 defeat away to Preston North End, halting Danny Rohl’s side’s momentum in the process.

In fairness to Wednesday, they were arguably the better team for large chunks of the game, and when Josh Windass equalised in the second half they looked the most likely side to pick up all three points, only for the visitors to gift their opponents a penalty and another sloppy goal.

The defeat leaves the Owls sitting 11th in the Championship table, which is perfectly respectable, but Rohl is now having to tackle an injury crisis at centre-back, with Dominic Iorfa forced off at Preston, adding to the list of absentees in that area of the pitch.

With the January window now just a few days away from opening, Wednesday will be afforded the chance to make new signings, and it looks as though a defender is being eyed up.

Sheffield Wednesday eyeing Premier League defender

According to The Sheffield Star‘s Crann, Sheffield Wednesday have made an enquiry about signing Southampton centre-back Ronnie Edwards in January.

The Owls are “very keen to try and get a deal done” for the 21-year-old, with a loan move from St Mary’s mooted, and he is “believed to be very in demand”. The report adds that Rohl has “identified the centre-back as one of his top targets”.

Peterborough defender Ronnie Edwards.

Edwards could be exactly what Wednesday are after when it comes to bolstering their centre-back options in January, with a loan move potentially appealing to the player himself, too. Regular football has been hard to come by for Saints this season, with just one appearance totalling 12 minutes coming his way in the Premier League in 2024/25 to date. That arguably isn’t benefiting him, so the idea of being a key figure at Hillsborough could be ideal.

Darren Ferguson hailed Edwards as “fantastic” during his time at Peterborough United, while Barry Fry has heaped further praise on him, saying: “Ronnie is a Rolls Royce. We knew that when we signed him. It’s no secret how highly Ronnie is rated by other clubs and by the England set up. We had 18 Premier League scouts watching him play for the under 23s at our stadium.”

There is no question that Wednesday need a centre-back signing in the coming weeks, or they will risk falling further down the Championship during the winter, given their lack of available options in defence.

In Edwards, the Owls have a highly-rated young player in their sights, and the fact that Rohl has reportedly picked him out as an ideal target next month further outlines why he should be considered a priority addition, giving the manager exactly who he craves for the remainder of the season.

Tom Latham rues the moments that got away as depleted New Zealand are put to the sword

Endgame proved out of their hands, but NZ skipper proud of team’s fight in tough contest

It may take some time for the shock to wear off, but when it does it may strike New Zealand how close they were to winning this Test – which, given the final make-up of their XI – might have counted among one of their most remarkable wins.A post-tea mishit to a fielder, a catch held earlier, and it is entirely possible that, of the two results all players thought possible at tea, New Zealand would’ve secured the right one for them.As it is, they were blitzed by Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes. But it’s worth remembering they were without Kane Williamson, they were without Kyle Jamieson in the second innings, that their spinning option Michael Bracewell was on debut and that Tim Southee was not having a good Test.They were effectively defending 299 with two bowlers and, even if one of them happens to be the indefatigable Trent Boult, that takes some doing. Hindsight is a tricky thing but from very early on in this Test, the omission of Neil Wagner was not looking like a wise move.They still thought it should be enough. “We certainly believed it was,” Tom Latham said. “You have to have some belief when you get into a final innings. The way we started with the ball was outstanding and we were able to make those breakthroughs. At lunch they were three-down, and then we had a bit of momentum going into tea as well. If we were able to get a couple of breakthroughs after that, we’d get into the bowlers but we weren’t able to do that today.”Much of the focus will fall on that mad half-hour just after tea. New Zealand decided to go at Bairstow and Stokes with bouncers and men on the leg-side boundary – a tactic Wagner would have been ideal for.Bairstow tore through that tactic, raining sixes over the short square-leg boundary; in four overs after tea, England put on 59. There were still over a hundred runs to get but by the time New Zealand moved on, the game felt like it had shifted decisively.”We tried a few different things,” Latham said. “But unfortunately, whatever we tried, they were able to negate that. Sometimes when the guys play special innings like that you just have to take your hat off to them. They played fantastically well.”When someone is going like that you need some protection [on the boundary]. With the nature of the ground, a little bit smaller and a really high scoring rate, it was about the balance of having some guys in but also having protection on the boundaries. Some other days he might have hit one straight to one of the guys. Today was Jonny’s day and he played really well.”Related

Some of the control of the game had been ceded on the fourth day when New Zealand gifted a spate of wickets to England to end the day seven-down, with three wickets left. There were two run-outs and each of the wickets, to a certain degree, came from batting error.Not only did that lower their ambitions for a fourth-innings target, it left plenty of time in the game – though time became a moot consideration ultimately, given England that won with more than 20 overs of the game left unused.”Yeah, I guess you could look at a few different moments throughout the Test,” Latham said. “I guess you’d want to do a few things different. But, as I said heading into today, 300 on the board and with the breakthroughs we made in the morning, we firmly felt we’d have a good chance. We weren’t able to make the next couple of breakthroughs we needed into that middle and lower order. But it was a great Test to be part of.”The nature of England’s chase, and that it had been so clearly signalled through the Test, makes all of this redundant, however. The first four days could have developed in any number of ways, but the manner in which it ended was, as Latham acknowledged, out of their hands.”Obviously the way Jonny and Ben played took the game away from us. I guess after tea, two results were in play, we were confident we could get a couple of wickets and then you’re into the bowlers. But sometimes you have to take your hat off to the way guys played. And I think we have to do that today. Jonny, the clean hitting, the power-hitting he showed to take the game away from us was not ideal from our point of view. Full credit to them.”

وليد صلاح الدين: كولر لم يكن يستمع لأحد.. وقرار رحيله عن الأهلي منطقي

أعرب وليد صلاح الدين، لاعب الأهلي الأسبق ومدير الكرة الحالي في نادي زد، عن سعادته بفوز فريقه أمس، مقدمًا التهنئة لفريقه والتحية لجماهير الإسماعيلي على حسن الاستقبال.

وقال في تصريحات إذاعية عبر “أثير ميجا إف إم”: “نحمد الله على الفوز، وحظًا أوفر للإسماعيلي وجماهيره، ونشكرهم على حفاوة الاستقبال، الإسماعيلي نادٍ كبير وقادر على الخروج من كبوته والبقاء في الدوري الممتاز”.

الغندور: كولر رفض بن شرقي والأهلي ضمه لمضايقة الزمالك

وأضاف: “التراجع الذي مررنا به سيكون درسًا مهمًا، كرة القدم مليئة بالدروس وسنراجع قرارات كثيرة، في أول موسم لنا قدمنا أداءً جيدًا وجاءت عروض بقيمة 280 مليون جنيه لأربعة لاعبين، لكننا فضّلنا الإبقاء عليهم مع بعض التدعيمات، بعض اللاعبين تلقوا عروضًا من أندية مثل الأهلي والزمالك وبيراميدز بأرقام ضخمة، ومن الصعب التحكم في عقلية لاعب في مثل هذه الظروف”.

وتابع: “ميزانيتنا محدودة، وأعلى لاعب لدينا يحصل على 7 أو 8 ملايين جنيه، وهناك اعتقاد خاطئ بأن النادي يملك خزائن مفتوحة، بينما نعتمد على اللاعبين الشباب وناشئي الأهلي، بعد أول ظهور جيد لنا بدأ البعض يُحمّلنا نفس مسؤوليات أندية مثل البنك الأهلي والمصري”.

وأشار إلى أن خروج مصطفى العش في يناير أثّر على الفريق، مؤكدًا: “أعتقد أن العش مستمر مع الأهلي بناءً على مؤشرات فنية، وقد يكون بديلًا في المنتخب بعد إصابة محمد عبد المنعم”. 

وعلق وليد صلاح الدين على رحيل مارسيل كولر من تدريب الأهلي قائلًا: “قرار منطقي، في بعض الأحيان تصل العلاقة بين المدرب والنادي إلى طريق مسدود، خاصة إذا كانت هناك مشكلات في الأداء والنتائج والعلاقات مع اللاعبين”. 

وأضاف: “بعض اللاعبين مثل حسين الشحات ومحمد مجدي أفشة وأشرف بن شرقي لم يظهروا، والأخير تحديدًا يملك جودة مختلفة عن باقي اللاعبين، الجماهير بدأت تحاسب على الأداء، خاصة بعد الصفقات الكبيرة، ولا يمكن الاعتماد على الفوز بشق الأنفس بهدف أمام الهلال ثم محاولة تكرار الأمر أمام صن داونز”.

وتابع: “كثرة التغييرات في قطاع الكرة تؤثر على أي مدرب لا يستمع للآخرين، ولدي معلومة مؤكدة أن كولر لم يكن يستمع لأحد، وكان يقلل من رأي سامي قمصان ويتمسك برأيه بشكل دائم، الأهلي لم يكن يعاني إداريًا، لكن غياب التفاهم الفني أضعف المنظومة”.

وتابع: “الأهلي يحتاج مدير فني قوي يجيد التعامل مع النجوم، كما فعل مانويل جوزيه، خاصة وأن لدينا لاعبَين أو ثلاثة في كل مركز من السوبر ستارز، ويجب غلق ملف النجوم من جميع الجوانب”.

واختتم: “جراديشار مهاجم مؤسس أوروبيًا، لكنه ليس مهاريًا، بينما سامي أبو علي أكثر حِرفة، وبن شرقي بالطبع يملك إمكانيات فنية أعلى، جراديشار مهاجم كما تقول الكتب، لكنه لا يقدّم الأفضل على أرض الملعب”.

Man Utd regular agrees £12m+ deal to exit Old Trafford; INEOS want £59m fee

One Manchester United star has an agreement in principle to leave Old Trafford in the January transfer window.

Man Utd transfer rumours

Ruben Amorim has yet to make his first marquee signing as Red Devils boss. However, the manager did admit towards the turn of the year that the club would try to do something in the winter window.

“When the window is open, we can try to do something and we will try to do something. But I think, in the next weeks, we are going to have more time to train and we can improve, that’s the only way.

“We had a lot of games without training, now we will have more space to grow. You can see that the context is worse in this moment, as we had a lot of losses, so we have to manage everything.”

When asked on which positions in the squad he’d like to bolster, the boss replied: “I will keep that to myself. But we’ll try to do something.”

A plethora of players have been linked with moves to Old Trafford in recent weeks, including striker Randal Kolo Muani, who now looks set to join Juventus over a move to the Premier League.

Elsewhere, United are said to be eyeing goalkeeper Zion Suzuki once again after he turned down a move to Manchester in 2023 under Erik ten Hag. Talks have been held over a new left-back, with Paris Saint-Germain’s Nuno Mendes seemingly a target after working under Amorim at Sporting CP.

There may well be a number of departures in January, too. Marcus Rashford’s future has been a hot topic of conversation, whereas Antony is also being linked with a move away.

Another attacker who has been getting more game time than Rashford and Antony is Alejandro Garnacho. The Argentine was linked with the likes of Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona last month, however, he appears to have an agreement with another European side.

Man Utd star Garnacho has agreement in principle to join Napoli

According to reports in Italy, relayed by Sport Witness, Garnacho has an agreement in principle with Serie A giants Napoli.

Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna travelled to meet Garnacho’s entourage this week and that there is now an agreement in principle over a five-year contract at €3m per season which works out at around £12.5m across the duration of the deal.

INEOS want up to €70m (£59m) to sell the winger, whereas Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis won’t go beyond €50m (£42m), so a transfer fee still needs to be agreed.

It could well be a deal to keep an eye on over the coming weeks, but with Garnacho a regular, missing just one game under Amorim, and under contract at Old Trafford until 2028, INEOS appear to hold all the cards at this stage.

Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar, Bumrah, Chahal help India sew up series

Debutant Gleeson’s 3 for 15 in vain as England fold for 121 in pursuit of 171

Hemant Brar09-Jul-2022

Ravindra Jadeja marked his T20I return with an unbeaten 46 off 29 balls•Getty Images

Bhuvneshwar Kumar picked up a three-wicket haul, and Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal chipped in with two wickets apiece, as India bundled out England for 121 in the second T20I in Edgbaston to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.After having been put in, Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant, the latter opening for the first time in T20Is, took India to 49 in 4.5 overs. England pulled things back in the middle overs, with debutant Richard Gleeson picking up Rohit, Virat Kohli and Pant in the space of ten balls. When Chris Jordan dismissed Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya off successive balls, India were reduced to 89 for 5 in the 11th over.Ravindra Jadeja, who replaced Axar Patel in the XI, then smashed an unbeaten 46 off 29 balls to steer India to 170 for 8.Given the short square boundaries – 64 metres on each side – it wasn’t necessarily a winning total, especially against this England side, but Bhuvneshwar sent Jason Roy and Jos Buttler back cheaply to dent England’s chase. England could never recover from there and slumped to 61 for 6 in 11 overs. When Harshal Patel yorked No. 11 Matt Parkinson to wrap up the game, there were still three overs left.Rohit trades perfection for progress
On the second ball of the innings, Rohit attempted a hoick over midwicket against David Willey. All he got was an outside edge past the slip fielder. Two balls later, he chased a full and wide delivery only to slice it towards backward point, where Roy grassed the chance. Of the 20 balls he faced, Rohit was not in control of eight of those.But the field restrictions meant when he connected well, the runs came thick and fast. Willey was taken for a couple of sixes and Moeen Ali for two fours in three balls. In all, his 31 runs came at a strike rate of 155.Gleeson, Jordan peg India back
Earlier in the day, Gleeson, at the age of 34 years and 219 days, became the third-oldest debutant for England in T20Is. He made his day more memorable when he sent back Rohit in his very first over. The India captain top-edged a pull and Buttler completed the catch running backwards.On the first ball of Gleeson’s next over, Dawid Malan took an even better catch to dismiss Kohli. The batter looked to hit a length ball over wide long-on but ended up skying it behind backward point. Malan, like Buttler, ran backwards and put in a full-length dive to pouch it with both hands. When he completed the catch, he wasn’t far away from the incoming deep-third fielder.Pant, by then, had moved to 26 off 14 balls, using his feet against both seamers and spinners and even deploying the late cut to pick up a four to show in what great state of mind he is in. He gave charge to Gleeson as well but was cramped and ended up getting an inside edge to Buttler.Hardik played out the hat-trick ball but looked uncomfortable against the extra bounce for the rest of the over, which turned out to be a double-wicket maiden. Still, he and Suryakumar took India to 86 for 3 at the halfway stage but Jordan snaffled them soon after. Suryakumar miscued a pull to deep midwicket and Hardik steered a short-of-a-length delivery to backward point.Jadeja comes to the rescue
India try to ensure Dinesh Karthik comes out to bat mainly in the last five overs of the innings. But here he was in the middle as early as the 11th over. He took eight balls to open his account and was on 7 off 14 balls. In the end, he was run-out for 12 off 17.Jadeja, however, kept the scoreboard moving. He was helped by England’s sloppy fielding too – a misfield from Harry Brook handed him his first boundary, and when he was on 12, Buttler missed a potential stumping off Liam Livingstone.Jadeja made full use of that reprieve and stitched important partnerships with the lower order. In the final over, he even refused a single on a couple of occasions to keep the strike. His efforts made sure India picked up 55 in the last five overs.Bhuvneshwar swings it India’s way
There was a hint of movement with the new ball when the England seamers were bowling. But it was Bhuvneshwar who exploited it fully. He started with a wicket-maiden. On the first ball of the chase, he had Roy caught at first slip with an outswinger. In the next five, he beat Malan’s outside edge three times and rapped him on the pads once.In Bhuvneshwar’s next over, Malan used his feet to counter the movement, which prompted Pant to stand up to the stumps. Two balls later, Buttler poked at a length ball, but it kissed the toe end of his bat and settled into Pant’s gloves.Bumrah’s poetry in slow motion
Livingstone started in an attacking manner, as he always does these days, and hit two back-to-back fours off Bhuvneshwar. In the fourth over, he picked up another boundary off Hardik. But Bumrah nipped his counterattacking knock in the bud with a well-executed slower ball.Many seamers roll their fingers over the ball when they bowl an offcutter. Bumrah, on the other hand, uses more of his wrist than his fingers for the same effect but with little tell. Livingstone failed to pick it and had his off stump pegged back as the ball sneaked in through the gap between the bat and the pad.Chahal accounted for Brook and Malan before Bumrah returned to dismiss Sam Curran, with yet another slower ball. The allrounder miscued a lofted shot and holed out to mid-off. That left England 60 for 6 and all but out of the contest.Moeen and Willey flickered for a while but the required rate had crossed 13. Even after Moeen and Jordan fell off consecutive balls, Willey tried to fight it out, hitting a couple of sixes and as many fours in the next 11 balls, but the task had become insurmountable.

Chelsea make improved proposal to sign winger with Blues insistent on move

Chelsea have now upped their bid to sign a talent catching the eye of clubs around Europe as they look to beat off the competition to secure his signature ahead of those sides.

Chelsea looking to sign future gems

Chelsea’s transfer policy in recent seasons has been to build a squad capable of growing into superstars, and it has worked for the most part.

The Blues have snapped up the likes of Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke at relatively low prices, while also shelling out record fees for Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez.

The result has been a significant improvement under Enzo Maresca, with the Blues now fourth in the Premier League despite a recent run of two points from their last four games against sides in the bottom half of the table.

£65m comeback, Sanchez successor: 7 players Chelsea should sign this month

The Blues need reinforcements…

ByBarney Lane Jan 10, 2025

There is more to come from the west London side too; Kendry Páez and Estêvão Willian are both set to join the club in the summer as two of South America’s brightest talents, while Aaron Anselmino arrived at the beginning of the year after being signed six months ago, with expectations high over his promise.

Meanwhile, the likes of Marc Guiu, Carney Chukwuemeka and Cesare Casadei have all been signed with varying degrees of success, and Chelsea are expected to continue spending in the coming windows.

Marc Guiu

They have been linked with a move to sign Jorrel Hato from Ajax, while there has also been reported interest in the likes of Castello Lukeba, Tomas Araujo and Marc Guehi amid injuries to Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile.

Now though, they are reportedly advancing on a move to sign a star in the making at the other end of the pitch.

Chelsea make improved offer for attacker

That is according to a fresh report coming from Spanish outlet Relevo, which claims that Chelsea have made an improved offer to sign winger Yeremay Hernandez this January.

Talks have been taking place and they claim that the Blues have “already made a firm offer to the player” and are “insistent on signing him”, even going as far as to up their initial proposal to him.

Dubbed a “baller” by Rising Stars XI on X, the winger can play on either flank or as an attacking midfielder and has scored seven goals and grabbed three assists so far this season. Despite Deportivo being firmly in the bottom half of the division, it is claimed that the forward’s form has caught the eye.

A left-winger by trade but also capable of playing on the right, Hernandez renewed his contract with his current side last April, and though they are expecting him to leave in the coming transfer windows, it is added that the Spanish outfit will demand the 22-year-old’s €20m (£16.7m) release clause to be paid in order for him to leave the club in the next month.

So far, no club has matched this, while Hernandez “is not going to force an exit” and concerns over his potential game time at Chelsea are mooted too. However, it seems that the West London side are ready to push hard to land him in the transfer windows ahead.
