da betobet： Having already agreed deals to sign Geovany Quenda and Dario Essugo, Todd Boehly and Chelsea are now reportedly ready to sign yet another young gem ahead of the summer transfer window.
Chelsea spend big yet again
da fazobetai： Despite failing to qualify for the Champions League last season, Chelsea spent big to welcome the likes of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Pedro Neto last summer in the hope of forming a side capable of reaching the Premier League’s top four. Now, almost a year later and under a new manager in Enzo Maresca, the Blues look destined to achieve that goal.
There is no rest for the wicked, however, and Boehly has once again turned his attention towards the summer transfer window – already agreeing deals to sign both Quenda and Essugo from Sporting CP. Spending a combined €72m (£60m) before the transfer window has even opened, the Blues once again wasted little time.
Even after the Sporting duo, Boehly is reportedly not done there. According to CaughtOffside, Chelsea are now ready to make their move to sign Jorrel Hato ahead of the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal this summer.
The Ajax defender, reportedly valued at around €30m (£25m), is still just 19 years old but has seemingly done enough to find himself on the radar of a number of Premier League sides.

A left-back by trade, Hato could bring an end to any doubt down Chelsea’s left-hand side and perhaps steal in ahead of Marc Cucurella in Maresca’s strongest side. However, amid interest from elsewhere, whether the Dutchman becomes the latest young gem to arrive in west London remains to be seen.
"Exciting" Hato could eventually replace Cucurella
Even if Hato is not quite ready to replace Cucurella this summer, that should be Chelsea’s long-term aim. Meanwhile, the Dutchman’s ability to fill in at centre-back should ensure that he doesn’t struggle for game time in a squad filled to the brim with young talent.

Hato has earned plenty of praise during his rise through the ranks at Ajax, including from football talent scout Jacek Kulig who dubbed the 19-year-old “one of the most exciting” left-footed centre-backs in world football.
What Boehly wants at Chelsea, he usually gets – and that may be no different in his pursuit of Hato this summer.
It’s been clear throughout the current campaign that even as they sit fourth, Maresca’s side are far from the finished article. Alas, the arrival of an improved left-back could go a long way towards reaching that stage at Stamford Bridge.
أكد سيد عبد الحفيظ، مدير الكرة السابق بالنادي الأهلي، إن الثلاثة أندية الكبار في الدوري المصري (الأهلي والزمالك وبيراميدز) يخدمون بعضهم البعض من خلال الأداء والنتائج السيئة منذ انطلاق الموسم الجديد.
وقال سيد عبد الحفيظ في تصريحات عبر برنامج “اللعيب”، على قناة “mbc masr”: “بيراميدز قدم خدمة للأهلي والزمالك بالتعادل مع وادي دجلة والخسارة أمام مودرن سبورت، وبعدها الأهلي خدم بيراميدز بأن أعاده للمنافسة مرة أخرى (يقوم الزمالك يسكت.. لا أنا أغيب أغيب وأرجع بهيبتي)”.

وردًا على ما يتردد بأن الأهلي يتعاقد مع مدربين بأسعار رخيصة، قال عبد الحفيظ: “هذا غير صحيح.. هل أحد يعلم كم كان يتقاضى كولر ومن قبله فايلر؟ ليس كل ما يُقال صحيح، الناس فقط وقت سوء النتائج ممكن تُصدق أي شيء، لكن الحقيقة أن الأهلي لم يبخل أبدًا بأي شيء.. هل الأهلي بعد كل النجوم الذين تعاقد معهم (بيسترخص!)”.
واستكمل: “لا نريد أن نقف عند بعض الأمور، يُحسب لإدارة النادي الأهلي ولجنة التخطيط عدم العناد وإجراء تغيير للجهاز الفني للفريق بعد سوء النتائج”.
وبسؤاله، هل الأهلي كان قد تعاقد مع خوسيه ريبيرو لأن النادي مازال يدفع راتبًا لمارسيل كولر المدير الفني السابق؟ ليُجيب عبد الحفيظ: “لا طبعًا، لأن الأهلي في نفس الوقت تعاقد مع كل هؤلاء النجوم في الفريق وكولر كان يحصل على راتبه”.
واختتم مدير الكرة السابق بالنادي الأهلي: “دعونا ننتظر، طالما هناك اختيارات الآن فعلينا أن نُساندها، وهذه التجربة ستنجح إن شاء الله”.

Jasprit Bumrah did not bowl on the final day of the Sydney Test•Getty Images
Jasprit Bumrah could make it to India’s Champions Trophy squad subject to him being fit in time for the tournament that begins on February 19.ESPNcricinfo has learned the injury that prevented Bumrah from bowling on the fifth day of the Sydney Test is stress related. Though the first round of tests did not reveal a stress fracture in the back, it is understood the discomfort Bumrah suffered was related to his workload in the five Tests in Australia. He bowled 151.2 overs in nine innings, taking 32 wickets at an average of 13.06 in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.Accordingly, on advice from medical experts, the BCCI decided to allow Bumrah rest for at least five weeks (the Sydney Test finished on January 5) after which he will undergo another scan to determine if he can return to action.Related

If Bumrah is cleared of injury, his match fitness is likely to be tested in the final ODI of the home series against England on February 12. The deadline to submit the final Champions Trophy squad to the ICC is February 11.As it stands, Bumrah is likely to be named in India’s 15-man squad for the Champions Trophy that will be announced on Saturday, with an asterisk against his name, implying his inclusion is subject to fitness.India play three ODIs against England on February 6, 9 and 12 – their first ODIs since the tour of Sri Lanka in August last year – before the Champions Trophy begins on February 19. India are in Group A in the Champions Trophy and begin their campaign against Bangladesh on February 20, after which they play Pakistan on February 23, and New Zealand on March 2. India play all their matches in Dubai because their government refused to let the team travel to Pakistan.
Australia opener hails “the toughest bowler I have ever faced”
ESPNcricinfo staff06-Jan-20251:18
Manjrekar: ‘Bumrah, a bowler without a weakness’
Usman Khawaja came into the Border-Gavaskar Trophy not too worried about facing Jasprit Bumrah. In fact, Bumrah hadn’t been able to dismiss him across the seven Test innings they had faced each other previously, and the Australia opener reckoned the fast bowler gets easier to navigate as you play him more.But after six dismissals to the India fast bowler across eight innings where he faced him, Khawaja admitted he “was just getting Bumrah’ed”.Related

Bumrah frustrated after missing out 'on the spiciest wicket of the series'
What did victory over India tell us about Australia's present and future?
“To be honest, I was just getting Bumrah-ed,” Khawaja told ABC Sport after Australia regained the BGT in Sydney. “It was friggin’ tough work. It was tough work. People were asking me ‘what’s going on?’ I’m being honest, I’m just getting Bumrah-ed.”Bumrah finished the series as the highest wicket-taker, with 32 scalps at an average of 13.06 and was duly named Player of the Series.He could bowl only nine innings though, and he couldn’t take the field during Australia’s chase at the SCG after experiencing back spasms during their first innings.In Bumrah’s absence, Australia sealed the win with six wickets to spare, and Khawaja admitted that Australia felt more confident on a spicy pitch when they saw that Bumrah wasn’t on the field.”You never want to see anyone injured and it’s a shame he was, but thank God for us. Because today would have been an absolute nightmare facing him on that wicket,” Khawaja said.”And you can see what a big part of their team he was. And everyone felt it. As soon as we didn’t see Bumrah out there, we had this sense of feeling that we’ve actually got a chance here.”Khawaja said Bumrah is “the toughest bowler I’ve ever faced” and hailed the fast bowler’s improvement from his first tour of Australia in 2018-19.”He was always good, he was a very good bowler [in 2018]. But he’s been something different this year,” Khawaja said. “It looked like he’s just got his tail up.”The wickets have definitely helped him, but he’s six years more mature, he’s a better bowler, he understands his skills. He understands who he’s bowling to and he has different plans for everyone.”I always feel like no matter how good a bowler is, they’ll always give me something to score off. I just never felt like I could score off him. It just felt so hard. I’ve never found someone so hard to score off and get off strike as Bumrah and you always feel like he’s got a wicket ball up his sleeve.”

da winzada777： Glasgow Rangers have officially made their first signing of the 2025 summer transfer window.
da blaze casino： Right-back Max Aarons joins on a season-long loan deal, and the dynamic Englishman will certainly add some competition for James Tavernier.
The Ibrox faithful will be hoping that Russell Martin has several more announcements to make over the coming weeks, especially with the Champions League second round qualifying matches against Panathinaikos just weeks away.
Building a team capable of making it through to the next stage is Martin’s priority, especially with the financial rewards on offer if the Gers qualify for the lucrative group stages.
Buying new players could well depend on the club’s ability to sell a few of their prized assets this summer.
Indeed, Hamza Igamane potentially looks like he could be on the move. According to the Daily Mail, the striker has reportedly agreed personal terms with Ligue 1 side Lille, although no offer has been made.
The Light Blues only signed the player last summer, but it now looks as though Martin is aiming to rake in a solid profit, as Rangers could hold out for a fee in the region of £15m.
He isn’t the only centre-forward who looks set to leave. Cyriel Dessers might well be on his way this summer also. The Nigerian international has been a polarising figure during his two years in Glasgow, but will the club miss him?
Cyriel Dessers’ Rangers record
Just a few weeks ago, it looked as though Greek side AEK Athens were set to secure a move for Dessers. After days of negotiating over a transfer fee, however, this move looks like it could perhaps be in jeopardy.

Now it appears that Feyenoord are looking to hijack a move for the Gers frontman after they failed to land a couple of their main targets.
Much will depend on whether the Dutch side can offer a fee that the Glasgow outfit are happy with, as this is why the deal with AEK Athens has broken down.
Dessers cost the club around £4.5m in the summer of 2023 and Martin is looking to recoup the majority, if not all, of that outlay.
Across his two seasons in Scotland, the 30-year-old has netted a more than respectable tally of 51 goals across 109 games. This works out as a goal every 2.1 games.
Despite this stellar record in front of goal, Dessers often takes two or three chances to eventually find the back of the net in matches.
Indeed, during the 2023/24 Premiership campaign, the former Feyenoord striker missed a staggering 27 big chances across his 35 matches.
Last season, this figure dropped to missing 21 big chances, but having someone who is far more clinical in the opposition penalty area, as well as being able to link up well with those behind him, is Martin’s priority.
Moving on Dessers could be a smart piece of business by the new manager, especially considering who he is lining up as his potential replacement…
Latest on Rangers' search for a new striker
With Igamane looking likely to depart Ibrox, alongside Dessers, it is evident that the club need another centre-forward or two ahead of the Champions League qualifiers.
Israeli player Dor Turgeman has been on the club’s wish list for a while, but it remains to be seen whether Martin makes his move for the striker.
According to TEAMtalk, the Light Blues are now exploring a move for Croatian striker Matija Frigan, who is keen to make the move to Scotland, as per the report.
Martin will have to spend around £6.5m to sign the Westerlo player this summer, but if he can move on Igamane and Dessers for roughly £20m, he will have money to spend.
The club will be hoping a deal can be sealed before the crucial games against Panathinaikos, especially if Martin is lacking in firepower before then.
Frigan has the potential to be an excellent signing for the Gers. There is no doubt about that.
Why Rangers must sign Matija Frigan
The 22-year-old is yet to hit his peak and a move to Rangers would give him the platform to get even better, especially by playing European football.
Transfer Focus
Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.
Across 41 games for the Belgian side last term, Frigan scored 14 goals and grabbed four assists in all competitions.
In the Belgian Pro League, the 22-year-old recorded 2.2 shots per game, while also creating six big chances and finishing the season with a goal conversion percentage of 14% for Westerlo.
Football talent scout Jacek Kulig lauded the Croatian as a “complete forward” two years ago, even stating that he was similar in style to Ciro Immobile.
As such, signing a player with his talent is surely a key priority for the manager, especially considering he has plenty of room to grow.
Although Dessers may have scored more goals last season, the fact that Frigan is eight years younger, meaning he is a crucial long-term prospect.
Last term, Frigan missed just 12 big chances, compared to Dessers’ 21, while he averaged more touches (22 vs 18.8) and successful dribbles (0.7 vs 0.3) per game in their respective domestic leagues.
If Martin is able to sell the Nigerian player for the same price which Rangers bought him for, then it would be a wonderful piece of business by the new boss.
Frigan – who was also hailed as an “interesting youngster” by Jacek Kulig – has the potential to go from strength to strength by making a move to Glasgow.
Funds shouldn’t be an issue, as the report states the Light Blues may be willing to structure a deal so they will pay a lower fee initially, adding on potential add-ons to make the move more attractive.
With Aarons arriving in Glasgow, the supporters will be looking forward to more arrivals over the coming weeks.
Could Frigan be the next big summer signing? Only time will tell.

da dobrowin： A Rangers star who Russell Martin is looking to keep at Ibrox is now “ready to quit” the club this summer, according to a new report.
Martin expecting new Rangers signings before Panathinaikos clash
da bet7： The Gers don’t have long until their first competitive game of the 2025/26 season, with a two-legged Champions League qualifier against Greek side Panathinaikos scheduled for the end of July.
Martin and the 49ers Enterprises are therefore looking to get deals over the line before July 22 and the first leg at Ibrox, with the new manager expecting a couple of signings by then.
Midfielder Lyall Cameron became the club’s first official signing of the summer after penning a pre-contract agreement back in February, whereas right-back Max Aarons will move to Rangers on loan from Bournemouth.
More could be on the way, but several incomings may also be coupled with a few departures. The likes of Robin Propper and Cyriel Dessers heavily linked with leaving Ibrox.

There have also been rumours of an exit for Nicolas Raskin, however, Martin wants to keep both Raskin and Hamza Igamane and build his Rangers side around the pair.
Despite this, a new worrying transfer update has now emerged on Raskin’s Rangers future.
Nicolas Raskin "ready to quit" Rangers
According to a report from Ibrox News, Raskin is “ready to quit” Rangers over the coming months and “could soon inform Rangers of his decision to leave”.
It is added that the Belgium international “is only willing to depart Ibrox if a side from a top league is to show a strong interest in his signature”.
The 24-year-old, dubbed “unbelievable” in the past, has been linked with the likes of Aston Villa and Leeds United, with the latter also owned by the 49ers.

Ibrox News have added that “there is no guarantee of a move as things stand”, but with plenty of time until the transfer window closes, it does look as if an exit could materialise between now and September 1.
Beth Mooney will take the gloves for the three-match series but the opening match is threatened by the weather
AAP and ESPNcricinfo staff18-Dec-2024
Alyssa Healy is still working her way back from injury•BCCI
Australia captain Alyssa Healy’s niggling knee will prevent her from keeping wicket in the ODI series against New Zealand.But she is hopeful she can play as a batter in all three games to ready herself for the Ashes in January. Beth Mooney will continue filling in for Healy behind the stumps, starting in Thursday’s series-opener at Basin Reserve in Wellington.”I won’t be wicketkeeping this series … but there’s not a lot of cricket leading into the Ashes, so for me, it’s an opportunity to try and get back on the park, as a batter, and try and find some runs more importantly,” Healy said on Wednesday.”I feel like I’ve hardly played any cricket for the last eight or nine months and there’s a good opportunity to do that. The knee’s tracking well, it’s just a day-by-day thing, and we’ll just assess as we go.”Healy’s frustrating run with injury opened the door for Australia to debut Georgia Voll in the recent home series against India. Voll, who hit scores of 46 not out, 101 and 26 in her first three ODIs, is set to be the unlucky player to drop out with Healy returning.”We’ve been transitioning for a little while, getting some youth in the side,” Healy said. “But obviously forced hand with some injuries at the moment. I think we’re in a really great space, the depth in Australian cricket is really strong.”And everyone who keeps stepping in, to take my job in particular, seems to make my runs or take wickets, so we’re in a good space at the moment.”New Zealand will enter the battle for the Rose Bowl on a high after winning the T20 World Cup in October with this their first home cricket since that historic moment. However, they have not beaten Australia in a bilateral one-day series 1999 or in an ODI since 2017.”I just remind them we pumped them in the round game, but they’re okay to have the trophy,” Healy said. “There is an air of disappointment around our group after the World Cup, I don’t think there is any way to beat around that.”I think the discussions that have come post that have been really promising, and where we want to take our cricket moving forward and how we want to play our style of game, as sad as that may seem.”New Zealand are in danger of missing direct qualification for next year’s ODI World Cup with this three-match series their last of the current Women’s Championship. They are currently sixth in the table with two automatic spots to claim alongside hosts India and already-qualified Australia, England and South Africa. Bangladesh and West Indies, who are below them, still have matches to play.A crowd of 4000 is expected at the Basin Reserve on Thursday although the forecast is poor before being more promising for the matches on Saturday and Monday.”It’s well overdue [beating Australia], but we also know the challenge we’re up against and we know that we’re going to have to be at our best to win at least two games to get that cup back,” New Zealand captain Sophie Devine said. “This is our first opportunity to play back up at home as T20 world champions…so now we just need the Wellington weather gods to play ball as well.”
