Newcastle eyeing Bellingham 2.0 who’s "destined for elite football"

Despite Newcastle United's injury crisis this campaign, it has come with a positive as it's allowed boss Eddie Howe to give valuable first-team minutes to multiple youngsters within the club.

Lewis Miley and Elliot Anderson have been the main beneficiaries for the Magpies, with the duo making 38 Premier League appearances between them this season.

Lewis Miley for Newcastle United against Paris Saint-Germain.

18-year-old Miley has taken the league by storm despite his tender age, becoming a real mainstay in the Newcastle side, after the injuries and suspension to Joelinton and Sandro Tonali, respectively.

He managed to score his first top-flight goal in the 3-0 victory against Fulham at St James' Park back in December, with the youngster going from strength to strength after his goal.

After Miley's brilliant start to life in the first team under Howe, the Magpies boss and Saudi PIF should step up the chase for another teenage talent who has been linked with a move to the club.

Newcastle interested in 18-year-old talent this summer

According to a report from Sky Germany over the weekend, Newcastle are battling numerous Premier League sides for the signature of 18-year-old talent Assan Ouedraogo.

The attacking midfielder, who plays for Schalke in Bundesliga 2, has excelled for the side despite the club struggling to secure an immediate return to Germany's top flight.

He's scored three times and contributed with two assists in 17 appearances this season in what has been a breakthrough season for the youngster.

Despite the Magpies's interest, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Liverpool all remain interested in Ouedraogo, who would cost either of the sides in excess of £12m this summer.

Why Ouedraogo could be the next Bellingham

In previous months, Transfermarkt's Manuel Veth has compared the youngster to Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham – a reasonable comparison given their similar rise and stats in 2023/24.

The duo both made the first impact on professional football playing at their boyhood clubs in the second tier of their respective countries, before either moving or being linked with a transfer to one of Europe’s elite. Bellingham, of course, started life at Birmingham City, for whom he made 44 appearances as a teenager, scoring twice and providing two assists.

When comparing their stats from the previous season, the duo have produced similar figures, albeit at vastly different levels of quality – with the Champions League-winning Bellingham recording 36 goals and assists in his debut season at the Bernabeu.

The German youngster has averaged slightly fewer shots per 90 than the Champions League winner, but has averaged nearly double the amount of successful take-ons – demonstrating his ability to drive forward with the ball at his feet.

Whilst he averages more take-ons, the pair both have the same completion rate of 52%, but both average very similar averages when it comes to assists per 90.

Ouedraogo undoubtedly has a long way to go before he reaches the levels of Bellingham, but the midfielder, who’s “destined for elite football” according to data analyst Ben Mattinson, has the potential to be special.

With the club already having success with Miley, the Magpies must pursue a deal for the youngster, keeping one eye on the future but also vastly improving their current squad depth.

Lisca lamenta gol no início e cita mudança de postura: 'O Vasco não pode permanecer na Série B'

MatériaMais Notícias

O Vasco não teve uma boa atuação coletiva e perdeu o clássico para o Botafogo por 2 a 0 no Nilton Santos. Em coletiva de imprensa, o técnico Lisca analisou o desempenho do Cruz-Maltino no clássico e lamentou o gol logo no início. O comandante afirmou que o time pecou na criação das jogadas e pediu uma mudança de postura para recolocar o clube de volta à elite do futebol brasileiro.

Misbah-ul-Haq 'frustrated' at Pakistan's lack of fortune on final day

The head coach, however, defended the selection and use of Shadab Khan at Old Trafford

Danyal Rasool10-Aug-2020

Pakistan head coach Misbah-ul-Haq rued his side’s lack of fortune at crucial times on the fourth day as Pakistan slumped to a tense three-wicket defeat at the hands of England in the first Test at Old Trafford. Writing for the PCB’s in-house website, Misbah said Pakistan “were right on top until pretty much the last session of the game” and warned his players not to be “mentally down” as they try and hit back in the second Test, which starts on Thursday.In a detailed piece addressed to supporters following one of the more agonising defeats in recent years, Misbah paid “full credit to England for the way they fought back” and admitted his side may have panicked at crucial moments during Chris Woakes and Jos Buttler’s 139-run sixth wicket partnership during England’s chase. He addressed the failure of the Pakistan side to bowl short at Woakes early on during his innings – a perceived weakness of the England allrounder – but said Woakes and Buttler “had quite a lot of luck in that partnership”.”We are feeling frustrated, just as the fans are, after the Old Trafford Test match but this is how cricket is,” he wrote. “There are very small margins between victory and defeat and it’s easy to curse yourself when you’ve lost. There is disappointment, of course, but we must not keep that feeling in our minds otherwise it will be difficult to come back but the team believes we can fight back. It was a thrilling Test match and full credit must go to England for the way they fought back, came from behind and took the game away from us. There was wonderful cricket played by both teams. Sometimes luck doesn’t favour you, sometimes the opposition plays well – that’s the beauty of the game.”He praised Azhar Ali’s decision to bat first upon winning the toss, singling out Shan Masood for particular acclaim. “Shan should be given a lot of credit for his innings. He has been working so hard – with coaches Shahid Aslam and now Younis Khan – ever since I took the coaching job last September. He’s changed a few things in his basic set-up and his approach to batting in South Africa and then Australia. He’s a different batsman now and Younis has helped him too.”The decision to go with Shadab Khan at No. 7 raised eyebrows, particularly with Fawad Alam deemed to be the favourite to start given Haris Sohail’s withdrawal from the squad in June. But both Misbah and Ali defended the selection of Khan during the game, insisting he provided a balance to the side it had been lacking for a while.Shadab Khan appeals for a wicket•AFP

It was an argument somewhat undermined by Khan going on to bowl just 11.3 overs all match; it wasn’t until after the 50th that he was introduced in either innings, serving more as a back-up spinner than the genuine second spin option many might have expected when he lined up in the starting eleven. He did, however, score 45 in a crucial 105-run partnership alongside Masood in the first innings, steering the Pakistan innings back on course when it looked like it might be imploding. Misbah acknowledged some of the attention around his inclusion and his subsequent use as a bowler, without divulging much useful detail.”There has been debate about whether we could have bowled more short stuff or we could have bowled Shadab Khan earlier. Maybe so, but you also have to remember that Woakes and Buttler did have quite a lot of luck in that partnership. A lot of balls went here and there, into no man’s land. If one of those goes to a fielder then the situation could have been very different. We still need to improve, of course, but overall we fought really well against a top team in our first international fixture for six months.”After securing a 107-run first innings lead, Pakistan stumbled to 137 for 8 after tea on the third day, several soft dismissals contributing to Pakistan’s inability to kill off the game there and then. It meant England were set 277 to chase, which might have been a stiff target, but wasn’t the insurmountable one Pakistan would have been hoping for given the way the Test had panned out until then.However, only once had a higher fourth innings target ever been successfully chased at Old Trafford, and Pakistan had only ever lost four Tests having set a target higher than the 277 they set England for victory. The last of them came in the previous century, when an Adam Gilchrist-led counterattack saw Australia hunt down 369 to deny Pakistan a famous win in Hobart in 1999.Misbah promised his team would do their best to mount a fightback, thanking the fans for their support. “This is an unusual tour, of course, but we are feeling very happy and comfortable in the ‘bubble’. We are spending a lot of time together, which has allowed the group to bond well. My message to the fans is that you have given us excellent support from back home so far and we thank you for that. Please keep supporting Pakistan and we will do our best to come back in this series, which I really believe this team is capable of doing.”

Fabrizio Romano: Chelsea agree another signing amid Duran talks, deal done

Fabrizio Romano says Chelsea have verbally agreed another signing amid their talks for Jhon Duran, with the player's agent set to travel and fix the final details of their deal in a "here we go" update.

Duran wants to join Chelsea with transfer talks ongoing

In the past 24/48 hours, a flurry of reports shared that Chelsea are advancing in talks to sign Duran from Aston Villa, as new manager Enzo Maresca seeks to bolster his forward line.

ByEmilio Galantini Jun 12, 2024

The Colombia international scored eight goals across 37 appearances in all competitions for Unai Emery's side last term, displaying some promise, but he isn't exactly the talismanic centre-forward which Chelsea have been crying out for.

Co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, if they do seal a deal for Duran, will be taking a slight risk with the South American starlet – who is arguably a step-down from world-class previous transfer targets.

Chelsea were heavily involved in the race for Victor Osimhen, but it appears the £113 million release clause in his contract wasn't a price worth paying for chairman Todd Boehly. Chelsea also missed out on a deal for RB Leipzig ace Benjamin Sesko, who put pen to paper on a new and improved contract at his current club instead of vying for the Premier League.

Sesko had an offer from Chelsea to join them, but following their failed attempt to prise the Slovenia international away, 20-year-old Duran has emerged as the most concrete striking option with talks ongoing over a deal.

Jhon Duran celebrates for Aston Villa

Chelsea's policy of signing raw, exciting talents is showing no sign of slowing down – having brought in a host of players under the age of 23 since Boehly's takeover in 2022.

Brazilian starlet Estevao Willian has reportedly agreed to join Chelsea from Palmeiras in the last few weeks as well, while reports have also centered around a move for Sport Recife's Pedro Lima. Chelsea have reportedly beat the likes of Tottenham and Atletico to the signing of Lima, with the 17-year-old soon to turn 18 and eligible to make the move to west London.

Now, Romano has shared his own update on Lima as Chelsea definitively seal a deal for him.

Chelsea verbally agree Lima deal with details being finalised

According to the reliable transfer journalist, now giving his famous "here we go", Chelsea have verbally agreed a deal for Lima and his agent is set to travel over fixing the final details.

"Chelsea verbally agree to sign Brazilian 2006 born right back Pedro Lima from Sport Recife, here we go," wrote Romano this week.

"Key detail: the deal will be done via BlueCo side Strasbourg. €7m fixed fee, €3.5m add-ons and player’s agent set to travel for final details."

The teenager has made 26 senior appearances in all competitions for Recife, scoring two goals and providing two assists. He can also operate as a right-winger, meaning he could prove a versatile asset in the years to come.

Passaram perto
A partida na Arena do Grêmio demorou pouco tempo para ganhar o primeiro lance de perigo. Logo no minuto inicial, Rossi recebeu pela direita, levou para o meio e tabelou com Rodriguinho. O camisa 7, mesmo sem ângulo, tentou o gol, mas errou o alvo.

Mesmo fora de casa, o Bahia não se acanhou e tentou impor o seu jogo diante do Grêmio, que encontrava dificuldades para criar. Assim, aos oito minutos, Nino Paraíba encontrou Rodriguinho, que avançou pelo meio e finalizou. A bola passou à esquerda de Gabriel Chapecó.

Grêmio cresce no jogo
Depois dos 15 minutos inicias que contaram com domínio do Bahia, o Grêmio passou a se impor jogando em casa. Desse modo, o Tricolor Gaúcho subiu suas linhas de marcação e trocou passes para conseguir arrumar espaço na compacta defesa adversária.

Sem conseguir invadir a área adversária, o plantel comandado pelo técnico Felipão arriscou algumas vezes de longe, mas quando a bola não saiu longe do alvo, os defensores do Bahia conseguiram bloquear as finalizações.

Depois do sumiço…
​Até os acréscimos, o jogo continuou sendo controlado pelo Grêmio, que seguia com a bola e buscando espaços. Aos 42 minutos, Rafinha apareceu de surpresa pelo meio, recebeu de Douglas Costa e finalizou. Matheus Teixeira caiu no canto direito e evitou o gol na melhor oportunidade dos donos da casa.

Por outro lado, o Bahia seguiu apagado no duelo, ficando pouco com a bola e desperdiçando a posse quando teve. Contudo, foi do Tricolor de Aço o lance mais perigoso da etapa. Nos acréscimos, Rodriguinho apareceu na primeira trave e cabeceou o cruzamento vindo da esquerda. A bola bateu na trave esquerda de Gabriel Chapecó e não entrou. Assim, o placar foi em 0 a 0 para o intervalo.

Chegou voando
A volta para o 2° tempo continuou refletindo o domínio do Grêmio com a bola, mas, diferentemente do que aconteceu na etapa inicial, a equipe gaúcha conseguiu chegar com perigo e logo foi às redes.

Aos três minutos, Rafinha foi acionado pela direita e cruzou de primeira, mirando a segunda trave. Na disputa com Nino Paraíba, Borja chegou na frente e não deu chances para Matheus Teixeira, fazendo 1 a 0 para a equipe da casa na Arena.

Grêmio em busca de mais
Mesmo depois do gol, o Grêmio continuou criando as principais oportunidades. Lucas Silva e Alisson tentaram ampliar o marcador. O primeiro aproveitou contra-ataque rápido e finalizou para defesa firme de Matheus Teixeira. O segundo tentou emendar uma sobra de bola, mas errou o alvo.

Com o tempo, o Tricolor Gaúcho diminuiu o ritmo e ficou à espreita para tentar aproveitar os contra-ataques. Em um deles, Borja tentou o chute, mas escorregou.

Bahia assusta, mas quem faz é o Grêmio
​Com as linhas do Grêmio baixas e precisando do resultado, o Bahia se lançou ao ataque buscando o empate. O Tricolor Baiano ficou no quase aos 26 minutos. Após sobra na área, Raí ficou com a bola à sua frente para finalizar. Contudo, o jovem pegou firme na bola e acabou mandando por cima do gol.

Sem muita criatividade, o Bahia abusou dos erros e se entregou ao desespero. Como resultado, deixou espaços no seu campo defensivo. Aos 49 minutos, o Grêmio conseguiu encaixar o contra-ataque mortal em arrancada de Lucas Silva, que serviu Diego Souza. Ao trancos e barrancos, o centroavante saiu na cara de Matheus Teixeira e fechou o placar em 2 a 0.

Southern Vipers 288 for 1 (Adams 154*, McCaughan 63, Bouchier 50*) beat Western Storm 256 (Taylor 4-41) by 32 runsGeorgia Adams smashed the highest score of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy to send her Southern Vipers side to the final with a 32-run victory over Western Storm.Vipers skipper Adams notched an imperious unbeaten 154, the seventh highest top-tier List A score in English domestic cricket, while struggling with cramp in her calf for the last third of her innings.Adams, who is the tournament’s leading scorer with 379 runs, was brilliantly partnered by teenager Ella McCaughan (63) and Maia Bouchier (50 not out) in century stands as Vipers crashed 288 for 1.And after Charlie Dean’s 3 for 50 and Charlotte Taylor’s 4 for 41, Vipers maintained their 100 percent record to set up a date at Edgbaston on September 27 with a game to spare.From the moment Adams won the toss and elected to bat, she only left the playing field for a brief mid-innings break as she dominated the Storm bowling.She and McCaughan attacked early with 57 coming off the Powerplay, and the 100-partnership, the pair’s second together in three stands, needed only 127 balls to set an impressive foundation.Adams reached her half-century first, in 64 balls, and was quickly followed by her 17-year-old partner in 84 deliveries, as the due put away the bad balls but rotated off good ones.Adams was dropped at long-on by Georgia Hennessy but that proved the only blip in an outstanding innings, as the opening stand reached 155 – the second highest of the competition.McCaughan was bowled when attempting a ramp but Bouchier seamlessly arrived and immediately struck at around a run-a-ball, her fifty coming in 47 balls.But Adams was the main attraction and despite her injury, reached her century in 128 balls with a runner, before helping to add 90 in the last 10 overs to take her past an incredible 150.The Storm lost top-order batters Lauren Parfitt, Fi Morris and Hennessy in six overs to Charlie Dean and Paige Scholfield to stunt the response to 60 for three.A brilliant 129 run stand between captain Sophie Luff and wicketkeeper Nat Wraith put the game back in the balance.But Dean had Wraith stumped before a flurry of wickets saw Storm bowled out for 256 off the final ball.

Planning a bid: Arsenal can forget about Onana by signing £100m star

It's not even been a week since the transfer window officially opened, but the stories about potential moves just keep coming for Premier League sides, and Arsenal are no different.

Mikel Arteta's side have an important summer ahead of them as they look to finally close the gap on Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, and over the last week, Amadou Onana has been touted for a move to the club.

Amadou Onana for Everton

However, based on recent reports, Edu Gaspar and Co have identified another midfield star in England who could be a better option.

Arsenal transfer news

According to a recent report from Football Transfers' Steve Kay, Newcastle United's Bruno Guimaraes has once again become a 'leading target for Arsenal' this summer.

kalvin-phillips-bruno-guimaraes-newcastle-opinion

Kay has revealed that after becoming increasingly frustrated with Martin Zubimendi's reluctance to leave Spain, the Gunners have turned their attention to the Toon's Brazilian star and have planned to make a player plus cash offer.

According to the report, neither the North Londoners nor City are willing to meet the player's £100m release clause, and with PSR still a concern, the Magpies could be forced to accept a player plus cash offer.

Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes.

It looks set to be an incredibly complicated deal to organise, but after another brilliant season in the Northeast, Arsenal should do all they can to secure Guimaraes' signature – even if that means ceasing their interest in Onana.

How Guimaraes compares to Onana

Now, if it does come down to a straight shootout between Onana and Guimaers for the third spot in Arsenal's midfield next season, who would be the better option?

Well, both the Brazilian and Belgian are comfortable playing as a six and eight, and while they both have more experience in the former, it seems likely that they would be coming in to play the latter.

This is because Declan Rice started most games at the base of midfield last season and performed brilliantly, racking up seven goals and ten assists in 51 games.

Impressively, the Newcastle dynamo produced the same number of goals and assists in one game fewer, but the Everton man could only muster three goals and one assist in 37 games.

So, with it clear that the former Lyon man is more of a goal threat, who comes out on top when looking at their underlying numbers?

Unfortunately for the former LOSC Lille gem, it's the "world class" Brazilian, as dubbed by journalist Andy Sixsmith, who emerges victorious, and by quite some margin.

For example, he produces a higher non-penalty expected goal and assists figure, more progressive passes and carries, takes more shots and shots on target, produces more shot and goal-creating actions, makes more blocks and interceptions, and completes more successful take-ons, all per 90.

The Toffees ace does have a marginally better passing accuracy and makes more tackles, but that really is about it.

Ultimately, if Arteta and Edu want to see Arsenal take another step forward this summer, then they should be going all out to try and bring Newcastle's Brazilian "leader", as dubbed by talent scout Jacek Kulig, to the club in the coming weeks and months.
