Arsenal are now in the picture to sign a Real Madrid player, who was recently called “excellent” by manager Xabi Alonso.

Title race heating up as January window looms

As we edge towards the mid-way stage of the Premier League season, the title race is very much heating up, with Manchester City winning their last four matches to keep the pressure on the Gunners at the top of the table.

Mikel Arteta’s side made hard work of it, but they just about got over the line against Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out, picking up a late 2-1 victory at the Emirates Stadium, with the visitors scoring two own goals.

As such, the north Londoners remain two points clear of City as things stand, while Theo Walcott has made it clear he believes Aston Villa can challenge for the title too, saying: “When you have a difficult start to the season it can go one of two ways as a team and a squad but Unai Emery has obviously got that confidence in them.”

“They’re playing some good stuff at this moment in time so for me they are a problem. But I am concerned about Man City.”

With the chasing pack hot on their heels, Arsenal are looking to strengthen in the January transfer window, and earlier this month it was revealed they were preparing a huge bid for Real Madrid star Rodrygo.

However, the Brazilian forward is not the only Madrid player of interest to the Gunners, according to a report from ESPN Deportes (via Sport Witness), which states they are now in the picture to sign Víctor Valdepeñas in 2026.

Valdepenas, who is able to play at both centre-back and left-back, recently made his breakthrough at the Spanish club, and a number of clubs are in the race for his signature, with Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen also keen.

The 19-year-old is eager to remain with the La Liga side, but the north Londoners are closely monitoring him, and Madrid would be left with a decision to make if a convincing bid were to be made.

"Excellent" Valdepenas off to solid start in Real Madrid's first team

The teenager made his debut for Real Madrid in their 2-1 victory against Alaves last time out, featuring at left-back, and Alonso was left impressed with his performance.

The Spanish youngster particularly impressed with his ability to win back possession, making five tackles, the highest number of any player, while also winning seven duels throughout the match.

That said, Valdepenas is yet to prove himself over a sustained time period, having only played for RM Castilla prior to the victory against Alaves, so Arsenal should continue to monitor his performances between now and the summer, rather than making a January move.

Erik ten Hag says he has spoken to his Manchester United squad about improving their body language and singled out captain Bruno Fernandes for praise.

United players criticised for body languageRashford comes in for condemnationTen Hag praises Bruno in this regardGetty ImagesWHAT HAPPENED?

United's players have been criticised for their demeanour during matches at times – with former forward Wayne Rooney going in on Marcus Rashford for his body language during the FA Cup win over Nottingham Forest in midweek. Ahead of Sunday's clash with rivals Manchester City, manager Ten Hag has spoken about this matter and stated Fernandes is a good example for the team in this regard.

He told reporters: "Of course body language is important. We talk about this issue with the individual players and team, about the impact on the crowd, but also opponents because football is such a psychological game. You have to take everything you can and use it to your advantage. When your body language and expression can be positive, then you use it for the good of your own team.

"What you see is the character of a player expressed in their body language and that is not a thing that you can change in a short time. I think Bruno [Fernandes] is a good example of this. I have seen he wants to win and so he shows his emotion and that is an absolute strength from him to push his own team. He shows how much he wants to win so that others around him pick it up and go and fight with it."

Rashford is struggling to recapture the form he showed in his 30-goal season in 2022/23, with the 26-year-old bagging just five goals and six assists this term. However, he is not the only one struggling, as Ten Hag's United sit sixth in the Premier League – in contrast to last season when they finished third. And things could get worse as they travel to Pep Guardiola's side on Sunday.

Seventeen-year-old Kerr racked up the highest score in women’s ODIs to send Ireland women hurtling to a 305-run loss

ESPNcricinfo staff13-Jun-2018The only double-centurions in women’s ODIs•ESPNcricinfo LtdSeventeen-year-old Amelia Kerr smashed an unbeaten 232 off 145 balls – the highest individual score in women’s ODIs – going past Belinda Clark’s 229 that was made in 1997 against Denmark in Mumbai. Her record-breaking innings propelled New Zealand women to 440 for 3 – their third successive 400-plus score against Ireland women.Kerr wasn’t done yet. She followed it with career-best returns of 5 for 17 to lead her team to a 305-run win – the sixth biggest in women’s ODIs. New Zealand also hold the record for the biggest victory – by 408 runs against Pakistan in 1997 – and more recently they had secured wins by margins of over 300 runs in the first two ODIs of this series.Kerr was on 217 off 141 balls at the start of 50th over and needed 13 more to topple a 21-year record. She drove the second ball of the over to long-on for a single before hitting two fours and a six on the last three balls of the over to cap the innings to set the new record. She reached the landmark when she smacked seamer Amy Kenealy down the ground for a six off the last ball of the innings. All told, she hit 31 fours and two sixes.After New Zealand opted to bat again, new openers Kerr and Amy Satterthwaite, who scored 61 off 45 balls, set a strong platform by adding 113 runs. The partnership ended in the 15th over when Gaby Lewis had Satterthwaite holing out on the leg side. Kerr then combined with Leigh Kasperek, who was promoted to No. 3, to amass 295 runs at a run rate of nearly nine runs per over in 33.1 overs.Kasperek brought up her maiden ODI hundred off 97 balls when she ramped Lara Maritz over the keeper’s head for four in the 46th over. Martitz bowled Kasperek for 113 two overs later but Kerr was simply unstoppable. Conceding as many as 30 extras, including 18 wides, did not help Ireland’s cause either.Kerr then starred with her legspin to rip through the chase. She began with a maiden and then bowled top-scorer Una Raymond-Hoey (42) around her legs. Ireland were 91 for 4 at that point after 25 overs. They added only 44 more before being dismissed in 44 overs. Kerr made light work of the lower order and fittingly sealed victory when she bowled No. 11 Cara Murray for a duck to end with figures of 7-1-17-5.Kerr ended the three-match series as the highest scorer, with 342 runs at a strike rate of 156.88, and the highest wicket-taker with eight scalps, to be named the Player of the Series.

Klopp saw the Reds win 5-1Second leg of Europa League tie effectively overHilarious response to interviewerWHAT HAPPENED?

Liverpool boss Klopp watched his side win 5-1 on Thursday to make the second leg something of a moot point. He was asked after the game if any Sparta players had caught his eye, and could potentially move to Anfield in the summer.

The interviewer, it seems, had forgotten that Klopp has announced that he will leave the club after the current campaign.

Klopp told reporters after the match, per the 's Lewis Steele: "I retire in the summer. You want me to take him on holiday?"

GettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE

Liverpool will have to find a new manager this summer but, first, they will hope to give him the send-off he deserves. The Reds have already won the Carabao Cup but will aim to follow up with the Europa League, the FA Cup, and the Premier League. A quadruple wouldn't be a bad way to say goodbye.

Liverpool play Manchester City in a blockbuster top-of-the-table clash this weekend. A win would see the Reds extend their lead at the Premier League's summit to four points and give them a huge boost in a hotly contested title race.

Sri Lanka lost their first three wickets to Keshav Maharaj, but remain in a position to push for victory over the next three days, after taking a first innings lead of 161

The Report by Firdose Moonda13-Jul-2018
Keshav Maharaj gets a breakthrough for the visitors•AFPSri Lanka took control of the first Test on a 13-wicket day in Galle, where spinners dominated. After South Africa were shot out for 126 – their lowest total in Sri Lanka – with seven wickets falling to the spin trio of Rangana Herath, Dilruwan Perera and Lakshan Sandakan, Sri Lanka lost their first three wickets to Keshav Maharaj, but remain in a position to push for victory over the next three days, after taking a first innings lead of 161 runs.On a surface that is taking substantial, but not unplayable turn, anything over 300 would be daunting. For a South African side who woke the ghosts of India 2015, the lead is perhaps already too much.In South Africa’s last eight innings in the subcontinent, they have only managed to score more than 200 runs once and the last time they scored over 300 in Asia was in the Galle Test four years ago. While there are elements of technique that are wanting – the left-handers playing across the line is an example – their confidence is the bigger concern. Collapses of 6 for 51 and 4 for 11, which sandwiched the 64-run seventh-wicket stand between Faf du Plessis and Vernon Philander, would have done nothing to boost their belief.Herath made the first incision into South Africa at the end of the opening day when he removed Aiden Markram, and he did the same on the second morning when he beat nightwatchman Maharaj with an arm-ball. And then the wickets tumbled.Dean Elgar played across a Dilruwan Perera delivery that took the outside edge to offer first slip a catch, Hashim Amla was given out caught at short leg on review off Dilruwan, Temba Bavuma dragged a Sandakan ball onto his stumps as he swept, a shot he had employed with success earlier in his short innings and Quinton de Kock was bowled by Dilruwan, also playing across the line. Shortly after the first drinks, South Africa were 51 for 6, and left du Plessis with the tail.Philander showed the patience the top order lacked and defended solidly, while du Plessis tried to play a more positive role in also searching for runs. The pair ushered South Africa past their lowest total since readmission, 79, and over the 100 mark. Philander was fortunate when Sri Lanka missed a chance to review a Herath delivery that would have gone on to hit middle stump – the last of three opportunities they did not take – and reviewed successfully when he was given out two overs later. He faced 86 balls, only two fewer than du Plessis, before he was out for 18.Du Plessis, celebrating his 34th birthday, played with as much intent as he could and compiled 49. But when Philander went, he followed within three balls. After several inside-edges, du Plessis missed a Suranga Lakmal ball that nipped in and was bowled. Lakmal had not used himself before the 37th over but enjoyed the last bits of reward when he also bowled Rabada and had Steyn caught at first slip.Already low on morale, South Africa’s situation only worsened when Danuskha Gunathilaka and Dimuth Karunaratne put on 51 for the opening stand, denied Dale Steyn the two wickets he needs to overtake Shaun Pollock as South Africa’s leading Test wicket-taker but offered three other chances.Maharaj appealed for lbw against Gunathilaka, but the opener had shuffled far enough across enough to get umpire’s call on impact. Then, Gunathilaka lap-swept Maharaj in front of backward square but Bavuma could not hold on to the catch. Later, Gunathilaka reverse-swept Maharaj between the wicket-keeper and first slip. And this time, Maharaj got his man, and two others, when Gunathilaka picked out deep mid-wicket, Dhananjaya de Silva, who was bowled and Kusal Mendis given out lbw.As he had done in the first innings, Karunaratne anchored Sri Lanka and became only the second batsman after Kumar Sangakkara to score a century and a half-century against South Africa in a Test. He took on the spinners with success, used his feet well and his placement was impressive but he was eventually undone with Kagiso Rabada having him caught at slip.There was no further damage done to Sri Lanka before the close, which gives them the resources to add to their total on the third day.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp could be backed in the transfer market by FSG to complete a money-spinning deal for one of Europe's most talented players, according to reports.

Liverpool updates: Gravenberch speaks out, Mousa Tamari, Alexander-Arnold role

Speaking in an interview with Liverpool's official club website, midfielder Ryan Gravenberch has revealed which player he used to model his game on growing up, stating: "When I was young I looked up to the bigger players like Messi and Ronaldo. When I became older, like 17, 18, I was looking at video clips of Zinedine Zidane. If I have to choose a player it will be Zinedine Zidane."

The Netherlands midfielder also let the public know who his favourite former Liverpool player is, adding: "I’d go for Steven Gerrard. But also, I played with him at Bayern, Sadio Mane. I think I have a few."

One Liverpool transfer update on Montpellier attacker Mousa Tamari has claimed that the Reds have been keeping tabs on the Jordan international since before the summer transfer window. Reports state that the 26-year-old could be brought in as direct competition or as an understudy to Liverpool star man Mohamed Salah at Anfield; however, it remains to be seen whether any deal can come to fruition.

Cited by 90min, Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander Arnold has been talking about his best position and has admitted that he isn't entirely sure where he is most efficient on the pitch. Alexander-Arnold stated:

"People are seeing potentially I'm more effective in the middle of the pitch. That's maybe the route going forward. But who knows? It's not my decision. I can only get played in the position I'm told to. But with the conversations I've had, particularly with the manager here [at England], playing centrally in the middle of the pitch is something we want to look at going forward."

Liverpool transfer news; Leroy Sane update

FSG could be set to spend big following a new Liverpool transfer update on Leroy Sane, who according to The Mirror, has been made the Reds' number-one transfer target at Anfield amid uncertainty over Salah's future at Anfield due to heavy interest from the Saudi Pro League.

Liverpool would be willing to shatter their record £80 million fee shelled out for Darwin Nunez in the summer of 2022 to bring the Bayern Munich winger back to the Premier League.

Sane has excelled so far this campaign for German giants Bayern Munich, netting seven goals across his opening 11 appearances in all competitions (Leroy Sane stats – Transfermarkt).

Labelled as "incredible" by Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola back in 2019, Sane has also recorded an average of 5.1 completed dribbles and 3.3 shots per game in the German top flight this term (Leroy Sane stats – WhoScored). With Salah potentially moving on for pastures new at some point in the near future, Sane could be an ideal replacement to replicate the Egypt international's explosivity in the final third, making this one to watch.

Newcastle United strolled to their sixth win in the last eight games with a 4-0 victory over Crystal Palace this afternoon, as Eddie Howe is finally building up some momentum ahead of a hectic few weeks.

The Magpies' last two matches before the international break saw them draw with West Ham United in the Premier League just a few days after they secured a stunning 4-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain and the mood around St James Park is buoyant.

A home tie against Palace was seen as a perfect opportunity for Howe’s men to secure another three points in the league and boost them further up the table.

It turned out to be a rather comfortable afternoon for the club, and they now await the challenge of Borussia Dortmund, who travel to Newcastle for a Champions League clash in midweek.

How did Anthony Gordon play against Crystal Palace?

Howe set his side up in a 4-3-3 and his front three were all in excellent form, with Gordon enjoying himself on the left wing.

Indeed, the Englishman managed to get on the scoresheet in the first half while he also missed a big chance, hit the woodwork and had a total of two shots during his time on the pitch, clearly indicating that he may have scored more had he been more clinical.

The winger linked up well alongside Callum Wilson and Jacob Murphy, and it was perhaps the latter who had the biggest impact for Howe’s side as he was in sensational form against Palace this afternoon.

How good was Jacob Murphy vs Crystal Palace?

Playing on the opposite flank to Gordon, Murphy aimed to create plenty of opportunities for Wilson in a central role, having done so to great effect.

Described as a “thorn in Palace’s side” by journalist Ciaran Kelly for his performance, the winger was in the mood to showcase his talents and he didn’t let Howe down.

The winger ended the match with the best Sofascore rating on the pitch (9/10) and he gained this by excelling across a range of metrics.

Murphy not only scored the opening goal of the game, but he also showed his selfless side by grabbing two assists and this contribution will surely have pleased his manager.

He also created two big chances during the game along with making two key passes, and he was everywhere as the Magpies secured a thumping, routine win.

The winger did lose possession 19 times throughout the match, yet that shouldn’t worry Howe as his attacking qualities shone through in a game which had the potential to be a banana skin for the club.

Wilson eventually got his goal with just over 20 minutes remaining, and it was Murphy who set up him, with there no doubt this performance will solidify his place in the starting XI for the Dortmund clash in a few days.

Newcastle are beginning to put the poor start to their campaign behind them as they look to follow up last season's top-four finish with another Champions League berth and dare I say it, a first trophy in over 50 years.

Twice in a week Phil Salt has produced the sort of innings that gets you noticed, firstly in the T20 Blast and then, equally spectacularly, in the Championship

David Hopps21-Aug-20181:38

Moeen and Vince send timely England reminders

ScorecardPhil Salt apparently likes to tell the story of how when he was growing up in Barbados he accidentally nicked Garry Sobers’ takeaway. Now he seems intent on nicking some of his shots.Twice in a week Salt has produced the sort of innings that gets you noticed. The way England’s middle order are giving it away in the Tests, gung-ho batsmen may be in danger of going out of fashion, but down on the Sussex coast it has been a breathtaking week all the same. Keep an eye on him.First Salt hurtled to 66 from 25 balls against Middlesex as Sussex reached the quarter-finals of the Vitality Blast on Friday night. This time his dashing strokeplay blew aside Derbyshire in the Championship as he struck 148 from 138 balls and, given a decent bowling display on the final day, could help carry Sussex back into the top two.Salt, 21, lithe and adventurous, is one of several young batsmen who Jason Gillespie, Sussex’s coach, has entrusted to carry the county forward. It certainly makes life exciting. His maiden Championship hundred at Arundel in June was overshadowed by Tom Haines’ hundred a little earlier that same day, a story all the more enticing because Haines had been driven to the ground as an emergency replacement by his mum.This time Salt had the story largely to himself. Sussex stretched a first-innings lead of 51 to 76 by lunch, but they were able to declare seven overs before the close with a lead of 404 because of a whirlwind afternoon session which brought 191 runs in all, Salt making 108 in the session as he moved from 11 to 119.Derbyshire, six without loss at the close, have never made more than 396 in the fourth innings in their history – and they lost that one. The most they have ever made to win is 371: it is known by every Derbyshire fan worth his salt (an unfortunate phrase on this of all days) that Shane Warne took seven wickets for the Australian tourists in 1997 and still finished on the losing side.Derbyshire are down to ten. They are lacking their portly West Indian seamer, Ravi Rampaul, who was driven back north on the third day for further medical checks after complaining of breathing difficulties in the field on the first day.Rampaul’s absence left their bowling attack as breakable as old plates on a summer fete stall on a sedate surface which Sussex will hope assists their spinners on the final day. Salt took a particular liking to the New Zealand quick, Lockie Ferguson, who bore the brunt of his early assault whether he bowled uphill or down, tried round-the-wicket short stuff or resorted to T20-style survival bowling in a desperate attempt to quell the assault.Sussex had 63 in nine overs by the time of the first lost ball, a disdainful front-foot pull off Ferguson which sailed into the flats at midwicket. An outrageous tennis swat followed later. There were five sixes in all, all of which flew in the same midwicket direction, a top-edge to third man apart, but his innings also featured controlled drives and some verveful singles. There will have been few more delightful knocks played in the Championship all season.Oddly, Luke Wells, although far less eye-catching, reached 50 a ball before him: he had far more of the strike and tended to steal his boundaries rather than embark on a smash-and-grab. Wells fell for 78 – the first-wicket stand worth 191 in 31.5 overs – when he swept the legspin of Matt Critchley to deep square leg. Critchley is not a big turner of the ball and Sussex will hope for more purchase for Wells himself and the left-arm spin of Danny Briggs.Derbyshire slowed the onslaught slightly after tea, largely through pace off the ball from Tony Palladino and Sean Ervine and it was apt that Palladino finally silenced Salt as he sought his third boundary in an over and was bowled by a ball that left him.Ben Slater, who was prematurely announced on Nottinghamshire’s website as having moved to the county, will complete his last innings for Derbyshire on the final day today before the signing is officially confirmed. Slater spent some time off the field when, as far as could be ascertained, he did not nip down to Southampton in case Notts asked him to have a bat. It is tempting to hope that Billy Godleman gets out early as he likes the press box windows to be closed. Otherwise it could be a very long day.

There will be no reunion at Barcelona for Manchester City team-mates Ellie Roebuck and Lauren Hemp, with a transfer for the latter fizzling out.

Such a swoop is now considered to be unlikely, with reporting that a proposed deal for European Championship winner Hemp is sliding off the table. Instead, the 23-year-old forward is expected to agree a new contract in Manchester.

Barca are, as holders of Liga F and Champions League crowns, of obvious appeal to leading lights around the world. Hemp was said to be open to the idea of joining international team-mates Lucy Bronze and Keira Walsh in Spain at one stage.

That is no longer the case, with the 53-cap winger now prepared to stay put. A move could, however, still happen for Roebuck as she has lost her place at City to teenage talent Khiara Keating and would likely jump at the chance to start afresh with the Blaugrana.

Newcastle United are back in action this evening as the Magpies face a trip to Molineux to challenge Wolves on matchweek ten of the 2023/24 Premier League season.

Eddie Howe’s side will go into the fixture full of confidence based on their league form, travelling to the Midlands on a five-game unbeaten streak. However, Gary O’Neil’s side won't be easy to beat.

Similarly to this evening’s visitors, Wolves have hit form of late, with the Old Gold unbeaten in their previous four games, including a statement victory over Manchester City at Molineux late last month.

Newcastle United team news against Wolves

Despite building confidence in the Premier League, Newcastle faced defeat in the Champions League earlier this week, as Borussia Dortmund left St James’ Park as 1-0 winners, after a lacklustre display from the Geordies.

The result wasn’t the only negative for Howe to dissect from the defeat, as the Englishman saw his squad depleted due to two new injuries sustained on the night, with Alexander Isak and Jacob Murphy forced to prematurely withdraw.

In his pre-match press conference ahead of the Wolves fixture, Howe revealed that Isak suffered a groin injury during the fixture that will leave him out of contention for this evening’s game.

Sky Sports’ Keith Downie relayed the extent of Murphy’s injury, which has been revealed as a shoulder dislocation that may require surgery, while away from the midweek woes, Elliot Anderson will be out for eight weeks with a back injury.

It’s trialling times for Newcastle on the injury front, but with a trip to Wolves on the horizon, there are other concerns that Howe will have to consider in order to get a result from the Midlands side.

The stats that show that Lewis Hall should start against Wolves

When assessing the threat of Wolves, it’s impossible to divert around the presence of winger Pedro Neto, who has had a flying start to the 2023/24 campaign with seven goal contributions from nine appearances.

The Portuguese whiz leads the assists chart alongside Kieran Trippier with six so far, though his ability to create is the least of Newcastle’s issues, with his pace and direct approach on the flank a terrorising scenario for Dan Burn to prepare for.

As per FBref, Neto averages 2.22 successful take-ons per 90 this season, and is rapidly quick, as highlighted by the havoc he consistently causes on the wing for defenders to attempt to limit.

While Burn is a strong figure in terms of his ability to win the ball, the Englishman is far from blessed with pace, which could prompt Howe to make a swift reshuffle at the back to pardon the danger of Wolves’ star man.

Once lauded as “quality” by talent scout Jacek Kulig, Newcastle’s summer capture, Lewis Hall, could have the traits to match the presence of Neto this evening.

Identified as a player that can bring “dynamism” and “pace” by scouting site Breaking the Lines, Hall is the faster of the Geordies’ two identifiable left-backs, while his talents span way beyond his speed.

Last season, the 19-year-old was given a chance to show his worth at Chelsea in the Premier League, during which he showcased his defensive strengths by averaging 2.6 tackles per game and a win rate of 59% of his total duels, via Sofascore.

The teen is a defender capable of eliminating danger and is a competent and combative force at the back, and also brings an added threat on the overlap, to where he averaged 1.7 key passes per game for the Blues last term.

In deploying Hall over Burn, Howe could spare his first-choice left-back the embarrassment of chasing Neto for 90 minutes, giving the loanee a chance to show his worth at Molineux.
