Deal advancing: Sunderland now agree personal terms with £13m striker

da stake casino: Sunderland have agreed personal terms with a £13m striker, who could be set to join on an initial loan deal this month, according to a report.

Black Cats vying for promotion

da 888: The Black Cats will feel very disappointed to have not taken all three points from their trip to Turf Moor on Friday night, with Wilson Isidor twice being denied from the penalty spot by Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford.

However, Regis Le Bris’ side remain in a strong position to gain promotion from the Championship, as they are still within touching distance of the automatic promotion places, with the manager looking to bolster his squad even further this month.

Central midfielder Enzo Le Fee was put straight into the starting XI after arriving on an initial loan from Roma, with an obligation to buy if Le Bris’ side secure promotion.

He could become a viable alternative amid increasing competition for Cannon’s signature.

Now, the manager is looking to orchestrate a similar type of deal to bring in a new striker, with talks being held over a deal to sign Westerlo’s Matija Frigan, who is likely to set Sunderland back around £13m if they are promoted to the Premier League.

Belgian outlet Het Nieuwsblad has now offered a further update on the Black Cats’ pursuit of Frigan (via Walfoot), detailing that personal terms have been agreed over a move to the Stadium of Light.

Signing the striker is said to be a priority for Sunderland, and it appears as though they could have a strong chance of getting a deal done, given that the player himself is clearly interested in the move.

Sunderland need a striker

Wilson Isidor has found the back of the net twice in his last three games, but the Frenchman’s two missed penalties against Burnley could have huge implications in the Championship promotion race.

As such, it is evident the Black Cats need to bring in additional reinforcements up top, and Frigan may be their best option, given that their other targets are about to be snapped up by their promotion rivals.

Chris Wilder has confirmed that Ben Brereton Diaz is now close to completing a move to former club Sheffield United, and it looks like Leicester City’s Tom Cannon may also be on his way to Bramall Lane.

Although the Westerlo forward is unproven in a major league, he has shown some promising signs in Belgium this season, picking up six goals and three assists in 20 league outings.

Football talent scout Jacek Kulig has described the Croatian as a “complete forward”, while also praising him for his pace and finishing, indicating he could be a solid signing for Sunderland as they look to make a push for the automatic promotion places.

Matt Parkinson joins Durham from Lancashire on short-term loan deal

Legspinner handed chance for game-time as stand-in for injured Matt Kuhnemann

Matt Parkinson will feature for Durham against Derbyshire in the LV= County Championship on Thursday, after joining the club from Lancashire on a two-week loan.Legspinner Parkinson, 26, has featured in just one of Lancashire’s three Championship fixtures to date, taking 5 for 120 in the second innings against Surrey, and comes into the Durham line-up as a replacement for the injured Australia spinner, Matt Kuhnemann.The extra game-time is opportune for Parkinson, who was surplus to international requirements this winter and was also overlooked in last month’s Hundred draft. He has featured 12 times for England across formats, including a solitary Test appearance against New Zealand at Lord’s last summer, when he was called up as a concussion substitute for Jack Leach.”Following conversations between Matt and the club’s coaching staff, it was agreed that game time in the County Championship would be preferable,” Mark Chilton, Lancashire director of cricket performance, said.”Earlier this week, an opportunity arose for Matt to join Durham on loan and the deal has been agreed between both counties and the player.”This is a great opportunity for him to get some more overs under his belt in a more competitive environment. We are looking forward to seeing how he performs and to welcoming him back into the squad.”Kuhnemann had himself replaced fellow Australian Todd Murphy at Durham, but was unable to take the field on the final day of their drawn match against Durham after suffering a back problem, and will continue to be assessed by the club’s medical staff.Parkinson’s two-week stint covers a solitary Championship game. Durham are one of ten teams in action this week, with Lancashire sitting out the round prior to their match against Nottinghamshire starting at Trent Bridge on May 4, for which he will now be ineligible.

Home advantage, Livingstone's presence could work for Kings against formidable Titans

Hardik Pandya is expected to be available for Titans, while Kings will be tempted to field both Rabada and Livingstone

Will Punjab stick with Ellis and bench Rabada?

Big picture: Gujarat Titans look to bounce backRinku Singh did to Gujarat Titans an extreme version of what they did to teams last year. In fact, their next opponents, Punjab Kings, last year had every reason to believe they had done enough when they got Hardik Pandya first ball of the last over with 18 still to get, but Rahul Tewatia won Titans the match with two sixes off the last two balls.When Titans come up against Kings in Mohali on Thursday, they will have to quickly bounce back from the five-sixes finish from Rinku, which lost them what seemed an unlosable game. Kings, coming off a loss themselves, will try to cash in on any residual effect of the defeat Titans suffered.On the line in this match is a ticket into the early top three. Both teams have won two games each in their first three matches. Titans have looked the more formidable side, but Kings will look to use their home advantage to the fullest.Team news: Liam Livingstone is hereAfter a long wait, Liam Livingstone is finally in Mohali and training at the nets. If he plays, this will be his first formal cricket match since he jarred his knee on Test debut in Pakistan in December. He should take Matt Short’s place in the XI. There might be temptation to play Kagiso Rabada, but Nathan Ellis has not done badly at all. If they bat first, Kings could think of bringing one of them in as Impact Player.Hardik Pandya was unwell and missed the last match, but should be available for this encounter.3:34

In the last match, Kings started without Sikandar Raza to see if they could squeeze in Rabada during the second innings. A collapse with the bat meant Raza had to be substituted in. Now, though, Livingstone’s arrival could make Kings go with a more conventional side.Probable bat-first XI: 1 Prabhsimran Singh, 2 Shikhar Dhawan (capt), 3 Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 4 Jitesh Sharma (wk), 5 Liam Livingstone, 6 Sam Curran, 7 M Shahrukh Khan, 8 Harpreet Brar, 9 Nathan Ellis, 10 Rahul Chahar, 11 Arshdeep SinghProbable field-first XI: 1 Shikhar Dhawan (capt), 2 Jitesh Sharma (wk), 3 Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 4 Liam Livingstone, 5 Sam Curran, 6 M Shahrukh Khan, 7 Harpreet Brar, 8 Rishi Dhawan, 9 Nathan Ellis, 10 Rahul Chahar, 11 Arshdeep Singh2:08

Hardik should replace Abhinav Manohar in the bat-first XI while it remains to be seen if they show faith in Yash Dayal or give him a break after that fateful last over to Rinku.

Their Impact Player scene seems sorted: Sai Sudharsan starts if they bat first, Josh Little if they field.Probable bat-first XI: 1 Wriddhiman Saha (wk), 2 Shubman Gill, 3 Sai Sudharsan, 4 Hardik Pandya (capt), 5 Vijay Shankar, 6 David Miller, 7 Rahul Tewatia, 8 Rashid Khan, 9 Alzarri Joseph, 10 Mohammed Shami, 11 R Sai KishoreProbable field-first XI: 1 Wriddhiman Saha (wk), 2 Shubman Gill, 3 Hardik Pandya (capt), 4 Vijay Shankar, 5 David Miller, 6 Rahul Tewatia, 7 Rashid Khan, 8 Alzarri Joseph, 9 Josh Little, 10 Mohammed Shami, 11 R Sai KishoreStats that matter Livingstone has scored 119 runs off 69 balls against Rashid Khan: an average of 30 and a strike rate of 173.

Man City ready to make January move for 21 y/o as Kyle Walker replacement

Man City transfer news

da dobrowin: It is now back-to-back wins for the Blues, as they sailed past West Ham United 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. Pep Guardiola’s side still have a lot to do to have a chance of winning the Premier League, and with lots of work to do in the Champions League as well, it could mean City are busy in what remains of this transfer window.

Reports from "outstanding" star's country claiming he's signed for Man City

The Blues are wasting no time…

ByTom Cunningham Jan 4, 2025

Signing a new midfielder is likely to remain high on the list of priorities for the Premier League champions due to Rodri’s absence. It was reported last month that City are ready to go all out and sign Martin Zubimendi this month after holding internal talks about the midfielder. Zubimendi was heavily linked with a move to Liverpool in the summer, but a move didn’t work out, and now City look keen to land the player but will have to trigger his £52 million release clause.

Meanwhile, it has been reported by an Egyptian outlet that Omar Marmoush may well be close to signing for Man City. The forward currently plays for Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt, but it is being reported that a deal has already been completed with City in which they agreed to pay £50 million.

Man City ready to make January move for 21 y/o defender

As the Blues continue to put their transfer plans in place, according to TBR Football, Man City are ready to make a move for Juventus defender Nicolo Savona this month.

The 21-year-old came through the academy at the Italian giants and this season has found himself a consistent fixture in the Juventus first-team squad. Savona, who is predominantly a right-back but can also play at centre-back, has started a combined 15 times in the league and Champions League this season.

Savona started for Juventus in their game against City, and now, according to TBR Football, the Blues are looking to make a move for the defender this month. The Blues are ready to part ways with Walker this year, as teams from Saudi Arabia continue to keep an eye on his situation.

City have been looking at several potential replacements for the England defender, and Savona is one that has stood out to them and left them impressed. Scouts at City feel the Italian is ready-made for Guardiola’s system, as he can also play at centre-back. Savona is under contract until 2029, but Juventus’ resolve could be tested this month, as City eye reinforcements in defence. It is not clear how City value the defender or how much Juventus would want to part ways with Savona, but the Blues will hope the lure of Premier League football and working under Guardiola will help them get a deal over the line.

Newcastle United now leading the race to sign £30m "special talent"

da 888casino: Newcastle United are now leading the race to sign a “special talent” who could cost £30m ahead of the opening of the January transfer window, according to a report.

Newcastle searching for new winger

da supremo: With speculation mounting over Harvey Barnes’ future at St. James’ Park, Newcastle are keen on signing a new winger, having identified a new right-sided player and centre-back as priority targets ahead of the January transfer window.

The Magpies are believed to be very close to completing a deal for PSV Eindhoven winger Johan Bakayoko, with positive talks over the terms of a deal recently being held between the two clubs.

Johan Bakayoko for PSV

However, there are mixed reports regarding whether the deal for Bakayoko is nearing completion, as there has also been a suggestion that players will first need to be moved on before Eddie Howe is allowed to do any business this winter.

Should Newcastle miss out on the PSV star, they do have some other options in mind, with reports that they are racing Premier League rivals Manchester United to the signature of Southampton’s Tyler Dibling.

Newcastle leading the race for Dibling

Now, there has been a new update from Football Insider, which reveals that the Magpies are now leading the race for Dibling’s signature, as a move to United is unlikely to appeal to the youngster. Regular game time is an important factor for the winger, which he seemingly believes will be a more likely scenario at St. James’ Park, meaning Howe is now in the driving seat to land the £20m – £30m rated 18-year-old.

A move is more likely to happen in the summer, as the Saints will not want to lose such an important player halfway through the Premier League season, but should they be relegated it is ‘inevitable’ the starlet will leave the club.

As such, given that Southampton are bottom of the Premier League table by a considerable margin, it seems likely that Dibling will move on at the end of the campaign.

Newcastle now want to sign £5,000-a-week future star in Livramento repeat

It would add to a growing collection of young talent on Tyneside.

ByBen Browning Dec 19, 2024

The Englishman has been a bright spark in a poor Southampton team this season, underlining his importance by appearing in 14 out of 15 Premier League games up to this point, in what is a real breakthrough campaign.

Lauded as a “special talent” for his performance against title-chasing Liverpool earlier in the season, the Southampton academy graduate is showing great potential, but Bakayoko may be a better signing for Howe.

Dibling is unlikely to be available this January, while PSV are open to selling their winger, and given that Howe wants to strengthen at right wing as a priority, he may be better off pursuing a deal for Bakayoko over the course of the next month.

The Belgian is in fine form this season, with five goals in 14 Eredivisie outings, indicating that he could make a real impact for Newcastle as we enter the second half of the Premier League season.
