"World-class" £43m forward now Tottenham's top 2026 target with Semenyo

A “world-class” forward is now a top attacking target for Tottenham Hotspur, alongside AFC Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo.

Spurs vying to sign Son Heung-min replacement

Son Heung-min has proven he still has plenty left to give since making the move to LAFC in the summer, with the South Korean picking up eight goals and three assists in his opening nine MLS games, so Tottenham may be ruing the decision to sanction a sale.

Initially, Xavi Simons featured at left-wing in Son’s place, but the Dutchman has since moved into a more central role, with Wilson Odobert being given the nod against Leeds United, but the young Frenchman is still yet to register a Premier League goal contribution this term.

On the opposite flank, Mohammed Kudus has made a more impressive start, scoring the winning goal in the 2-1 victory against Leeds, but Thomas Frank may feel he is a little light on top-quality options on the left.

As such, it is no doubt exciting news that Spurs are preparing a January move for AFC Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo, with Frank of the belief the 25-year-old would be the “perfect fit” in his squad.

With nine goal contributions to his name in the Premier League already this season, a move to a Champions League club could provide the platform for Semenyo to become one of the best wingers in the world.

He would be one for the future for Spurs.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, Semenyo is one of Tottenham’s top targets to replace Son, but so is Atalanta star Ademola Lookman, with the north Londoners expected to spend a significant amount of money on a new left-winger.

Spurs came close to signing Lookman in the summer, at which point he was valued at £43m, but the deal fell through, as the Italian club were unwilling to sanction a loan move and wanted a permanent sale.

Since then, however, the forward has worked his way back into first-team contention, starting against FC Como last time out, and the Nigerian’s previous exploits suggest he could be a fantastic addition to Frank’s squad…

"World-class" Semenyo could flourish at N17

BBC reporter John Bennett hailed the Atalanta forward in light of his remarkable performances across 2024, perhaps most notably scoring a hat-trick in the final of the Europa League to lead his side to victory against Bayer Leverkusen.

Since leaving England for Italy, the London-born attacker has also maintained a very impressive goal and assist record in the Serie A.

There may be some concerns over the fact Lookman hasn’t set the world alight in England in the past, scoring just four goals in 48 games for Everton, but he has clearly developed since then, and at 27-years-old, the ex-Fulham man may now be in his prime.

Tongue sets England's eyes on prize with 350 more needed for victory

KL Rahul hopes England’s desire to go for win will play into India’s hands

ESPNcricinfo staff23-Jun-20252:39

Manjrekar: A fascinating final day looms

Josh Tongue says that there has been no mention of the word “draw” in the home dressing-room at Headingley, a state of affairs that KL Rahul believes will play into India’s hands as England seek to hunt down a target of 371 on the final day of the first Test.England have drawn only once in their 36 Tests since Ben Stokes took over as captain, when rain washed away the prospect of a result at Old Trafford in the 2023 Ashes. There is a chance that the weather will play a role on the final day in Leeds, too, but the equation otherwise stands at 350 more runs – or ten wickets – required in 90 overs for a positive result.Tongue said that there was no situation in which England would consider a draw to be a good result, saying, “[We will] just go for the win. That’s the clear message in the changing room. It’s just [about] being as positive as we can. They’re going to bowl well at times tomorrow. It’s just crucial we soak up that bit of pressure and reapply it. I don’t see why we can’t chase that down.”Related

Rahul, who top-scored with 137 in the third innings, echoed Tongue’s sentiments, and said that England’s attacking approach would suit India’s bowlers. “There’s definitely going to be a result,” he said. “That’s what England have said very openly, and their style of cricket suggests that as well. It gives us a good opportunity to pick up ten wickets. We know how they’re going to come out and bat on day five.”The wicket today was a very tricky wicket: I spent a lot of time batting there and I didn’t feel set at all at any given stage. The wicket’s taken a beating, and tomorrow might break even more… We know their style of cricket, so [we’ll] try to keep that in the back of our heads and try to see what lines and lengths we can bowl and how we can get them out.”Rahul also revealed that India had fallen short of the target they were hoping to set, after collapsing from 333 for 4 to 364 all out. “There was a little bit of discussion about how many runs we need on the board or… maybe giving them a few overs to bat in the evening today and see if we can pick up a wicket or two,” Rahul said. “Ideally, from the position we were in, we would have wanted at least 40 or 50 runs more.”Tongue said England were “really confident” after seeing out the final six overs of the day. “If you look at our batting line-up, it’s very strong. We play a positive brand of cricket. Chasing 371 is going to be a good thing for us to do tomorrow. Getting through that first 30-45 minutes tomorrow is going to be crucial, and then hopefully [we will] get the winning runs.”

Paratici and Lange identify new Tottenham transfer target in record-breaking move

Tottenham have announced that transfer chief Fabio Paratici has returned to N17 on an official basis after months of reports, and he will work alongside Johan Lange as a co-sporting director.

Spurs confirm Fabio Paratici return as new leadership structure revealed

Paratici, who was forced to resign from his previous Spurs post as managing director in 2023 after a worldwide ban from football, has now made a stunning return to North London.

The Italian played a key role in the club’s signings of Cristian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski, Pedro Porro, Rodrigo Bentancur, Djed Spence, Destiny Udogie, Pape Sarr and other first-team stars, and has advised the Lilywhites on a consultancy basis for months.

2. Dejan Kulusevski

£25.5m

3. Rodrigo Bentancur

£21.5m

4. Pedro Porro

£40m

5. Djed Spence

£20m

Paratici lent a helping hand to CEO Vinai Venkatesham, Lange and manager Thomas Frank over the summer window, but ex-chairman Daniel Levy’s departure threatened to cast doubt on his rumoured return to Spurs as a full-time employee.

Now, those doubts have been quashed, with Paratici officially taking up a sporting director role with Lange as the pair lead Tottenham’s recruitment drive in unison.

Venkatesham added that the increased demands on sporting directors in today’s climate prompted the club to move forward with two experienced chiefs in Lange and Paratici.

After Tottenham were also bankrolled with a £100 million cash injection via the Lewis family last week, the January transfer window now looks even more interesting.

Tottenham identify new target in Rangers star Nicolas Raskin

According to TEAMtalk, Lange and Paratici may have already got to work on identifying a new target for midfield — Rangers star Nicolas Raskin.

The Belgium international is cut above the Gers’ star man at Ibrox, with the Glasgow giants placing a £20-25 million price tag on his head. A sale at that price would make Raskin their club-record departure, and it is believed Spurs have emerged as the latest contender for his signature.

Tottenham are expressing an interest in Raskin ahead of the January window, and considering he has just under two years remaining on his current contract, the Teddy Bears may well have a decision to make if Paratici and Lange come forward with a suitable bid.

The 24-year-old, who was a handful for James Maddison for Spurs when they met Rangers in the Europa League last season, bagged five goals and 11 assists in nearly 50 appearances across 24/25, despite mostly playing as a defensive anchor.

With Yves Bissouma likely departing in 2026, whether that be in the winter or at the end of the season when his deal expires, Raskin could be a very astute replacement for the Mali international.

Rangers are faced with a critical decision amidst serious interest from the Premier League, Serie A and Bundesliga — cash-in now or risk losing him for a much cheaper price further down the line.

خالد الغندور ينتقد لاعب الزمالك بعد الفوز على طلائع الجيش: يتخذ قرارات خاطئة

انتقد خالد الغندور، كابتن الزمالك السابق، أحد لاعبي الفريق الحاليين، خلال مواجهة طلائع الجيش، التي أقيمت اليوم الأحد، ضمن منافسات بطولة الدوري المصري الممتاز.

وفاز الزمالك على طلائع الجيش، بثلاثة أهداف مقابل هدف، في اللقاء الذي أقيم ضمن مواجهات الجولة 13 لبطولة الدوري المصري، سجل للفارس الأبيض ناصر ماهر “هدفين” وعدي الدباغ هدف، بينما أحرز محمد عاطف هدف الجيش.

وقال الغندور خلال تصريحات عبر قناة “أون سبورت”: “الزمالك قدم أداء جيدًا، لأن طلائع الجيش يقدم موسمًا ضعيفًا، الجيش من الفرق التي ستصارع من أجل البقاء”.

وأضاف: “الزمالك تحكم في اللقاء تمامًا بعد الهدف الثالث، لكن بعد ذلك تم تسجيل هدف في مرماه وتراجع الأداء والجماهير شعرت أن طلائع الجيش يُمكنه العودة في النتيجة، وهذه مشكلة الزمالك، ليست أول مرة أن فريق يتحكم ويستحوذ في الشوط الثاني أمام الزمالك، وبالتالي هناك مشكلة في تباعد الخطوط”.

وأتم: “أنا عندي مشكلة مع عدي الدباغ مهاجم الزمالك، يُهدر انفرادات سهلة، المهاجم المفترض أن يطور نفسه، لكنه اليوم اتخذ 3 قرارات خاطئة في 3 انفرادات”.

وبفوز الزمالك، اليوم ارتقى إلى المركز الثاني في ترتيب جدول الدوري المصري، برصيد 22 نقطة.

Quanto tempo Arboleda vai ficar parado?

MatériaMais Notícias

O São Paulo tem uma nova dúvida para o primeiro jogo válido pela final da Copa do Brasil, que acontece neste domingo (17), contra o Flamengo, no Maracanã. Arboleda, zagueiro titular do elenco tricolor, foi substituído durante o confronto entre Equador e Uruguai, pelas eliminatórias sul-americanas, por conta de dores na região posterior da coxa esquerda.

A cena preocupou os torcedores do São Paulo porque Arboleda deixou o gramado de maca. Na manhã de quinta-feira (14), o zagueiro foi submetido a um exame de imagem que não detectou lesão muscular, mas uma fibrose no local. Assim, sua presença contra o Flamengo no domingo (17) ainda é incerta.

Arboleda está em tratamento no Reffis Plus e passará por avaliações diárias. Entretanto, o clube não divulgou um prazo para a recuperação total.

Para entender melhor este problema e como funciona o tratamento, a reportagem do Lance! entrou em contato com Gustavo Russo, fisioterapeuta formado pela Universidade de São Paulo e especialista em esporte e exercício.

Segundo suas palavras, a fibrose muscular refere-se ao desenvolvimento excessivo de tecido fibroso e cicatricial no músculo. O tratamento é feito de maneira multidisciplinar, visando aliviar a dor, melhorar a função muscular e restaurar a mobilidade.

A fisioterapia desempenha um papel central nesse processo, com profissionais projetando programas de exercícios personalizados para fortalecer os músculos afetados, técnicas de massagem para aliviar a tensão e mobilizações articulares para melhorar a amplitude de movimento. Além disso, recursos como termoterapia e eletroestimulação podem ser utilizadas.

Ao ser questionado sobre o tempo de tratamento, Gustavo Russo explicou que varia de paciente para paciente, muito por conta do grau da lesão e o quanto a fibrose está limitando a realização das tarefas. Desta forma, a presença de Arboleda na final contra o Flamengo dependeria destes aspectos, com uma chance do zagueiro se recuperar a tempo do confronto.

Era Abel Ferreira no Palmeiras deve terminar nesta temporada? Redação do Lance! opina

A eliminação do Palmeiras diante do Boca Juniors, na semifinal da Libertadores, reacendeu o debate sobre a permanência de Abel Ferreira. O treinador português está prestes a completar três anos sob o comando do Verdão, tendo faturado oito títulos com o Alviverde.

Supersurvey

Alexandre Guariglia, repórter (Abel fica)

Não há motivo para um projeto que, apesar de tropeços e erros, tem tido sucesso e montou uma estrutura de trabalho muito sólida. Acredito que seja necessária uma correção de rumo, uma revisão de convicções e uma abertura maior para o mercado de jogadores. A tendência é que siga brigando por todos os títulos em 2024.

Rafael Marson, repórter (Abel fica)

Uma das grandes virtudes do Palmeiras nos últimos anos foi a paciência e confiança da diretoria com Abel Ferreira. Embora Abel mostre sinais de queda em 2023, o treinador elevou o patamar do clube e deve ser mantido para a próxima temporada, mas a diretoria precisa ajudá-lo com mais reforços.

Rafaela Cardoso, repórter (Abel fica)

Não deveria terminar. Apesar da teimosia, peças foram prometidas e não entregues quando saíram jogadores importantes. E nao acho que exista outro técnico no mercado que possa ser melhor para o Palmeiras do que Abel Ferreira. A Leila deveria ser mais cobrada do que o treinador.

Acho que o ciclo do Abel no Palmeiras não se encerrou, porém ele tem que deixar algumas convicções de lado, como Mayke de ponta e Marcos Rocha de terceiro zagueiro, isso não bate, o time fica lento, e automaticamente exposto. O Palmeiras, mesmo com tudo, venceu dois campeonatos no ano. Abel ainda tem muito para mostrar para a torcida palmeirense, é só deixar de morrer abraçado em suas maluquices.

بول ميرسون يتوقع نتيجة مباراة مانشستر سيتي وليفربول ويصرّح: سلوت يحتاج إلى لاعب معين

تحدث النجم السابق لنادي آرسنال، بول ميرسون، عن مباراة القمة المرتقبة مساء يوم الأحد بين مانشستر سيتي وليفربول، في إطار منافسات بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

ويستضيف ملعب “الاتحاد” مباراة قمة الجولة الحادية عشر من الدوري الإنجليزي، 2025/26، بين مانشستر سيتي وليفربول.

وقال بول ميرسون، في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “ليفربول دوت كوم” الإنجليزية: “سيواجه فيرجيل فان ديك إيرلينج هالاند، وأعتقد أنه سيفوز في هذه المعركة ضد مهاجم السيتي، إذا نظرنا إلى لاعبي قلب الدفاع، فإن فان دايك هو بمثابة رولز رويس (سيارة شهيرة فارهة)، وأعتقد أنه قادر على التعامل مع هالاند”.

وأضاف: “بالنظر إلى قدرة كونور برادلي على السيطرة على فينيسيوس جونيور، فلن أكون قلقًا بشأن مواجهة جيريمي دوكو أو سافينيو أيضًا، ولا أعتقد أن مانشستر سيتي قوي دفاعيًا”.

وواصل: “حتى في فوزهم على بورنموث، لم يكونوا مقنعين في الدفاع، لا تسيئوا فهمي، مانشستر سيتي في حالة ممتازة لكنهم ببساطة ليسوا الفريق الذي كانوا عليه قبل ثلاث أو أربع سنوات، لقد استعاد ليفربول بعض الثقة الآن، كما عاد سلوت إلى أفضل ثنائي له في مركز الظهير وخط الوسط”.

وأردف: “عندما يكون لديك جرافنبيرخ، ماك أليستر وسوبوسلاي كثلاثي في ​​خط الوسط ضد مانشستر سيتي، فأنت بالتأكيد المرشح الأوفر حظًا للفوز”.

ويتوقع بول ميرسون فوز ليفربول على مانشستر سيتي بثلاثة أهداف لهدف، واسترسل:”إذا خسر ليفربول هذه المباراة، فسيخرج من سباق اللقب، لذلك فهي ببساطة أهم مبارياته في الموسم”.

وشدد: “إذا تعاقدت مع لاعب مقابل 115 مليون جنيه إسترليني أو ما يقارب هذا المبلغ (فلوريان فيرتز)، فعليك إشراكه في أهم مبارياتك، سواء كان يبدع أم لا، يجب أن يكون متواجدًا، لقد تعاقدنا معه من أجل هذه المباريات، وللتغلب على مانشستر سيتي، نحتاج إلى لاعب يجيد التمريرات الصحيحة، فلوريان فيرتز هو هذا النوع من اللاعبين”.

وأفاد: “عندما تكون لاعبًا في ليفربول، لن تضطر لخوض الكثير من المباريات التي يحاول فيها الخصم الهجوم عليك، لكن هذه المباراة ستكون مختلفة، سيحاول مانشستر سيتي استغلال ليفربول، وهذا قد يُتيح لـ فيرتز فرصة لتقديم أفضل ما لديه”.

واختتم: “لقد رأينا ذلك ضد ريال مدريد، ولهذا السبب يجب أن يكون في التشكيلة الأساسية بدلًا من كودي جاكبو”.
