ByMatt Dawson Jan 23, 2024 Man United want to bolster their attack
According to Ben Jacobs via GIVEMESPORT, Man United have made an approach to sign Joshua Zirkzee.
The journalist stated in the report: "Zirkzee is a really interesting one for the summer. Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are three to watch from the Premier League.
"Manchester United are the ones that have had some kind of formative approach, certainly on the player side. Arsenal and Spurs haven't moved yet, but that may change in the summer. There is a release clause, and if Bologna are to be believed, it only applies to Bayern and is €40m [£34m]."
Joshua Zirkzee at Bayern Munich
Jacobs goes on to mention that a winter move has been ruled out. For any club (excluding Bayern) hoping to bring him in over the summer, they will have to part ways with £50m as per prior reports.

ByLuke Randall Feb 1, 2024 Zirkzee's potential role at Man United
Marcus Rashford is the most talked-about player in the world this week after controversy sparked over him missing training last week. To add even more to the situation, INews have announced that PSG are interested in signing the United number ten this summer.
Unfortunately for Rashford, what makes the situation worse is the fact that he's having a troubled season on the field, netting just four goals in 20 Premier League games. Therefore, the boss could look to move the England star on in the summer, with Zirkzee joining the club as his replacement.
The former Bayern Munich striker has been superb this season for Bologna, scoring eight goals in 19 league starts while also providing two assists. In short, he has been the focal point of his side's rise up to eighth in the Serie A.
Nonetheless, let's look at the role that Zirkzee could play at United and a handful of statistics from this season that prove he would be a smart acquisition. The numbers below compare the powerful Dutch striker him to his positional peers in Serie A.

Although Bologna are achieving great things this season, they are far from a dominant side in the Serie A, so for Zirkzee to be boasting those goal-scoring numbers is rather impressive. Just over a third of their goals this season in the league have come via the Dutch forward, which proves how influential he is. Football Talent Scout Jacek Kulig labelled the attacker as "prolific," and the fact that he outperforms his xG by 0.12 each game underlines that he's clinical.
During his time at Ajax, Ten Hag built a specific system around the qualities of Dusan Tadic, which saw him play anywhere across the front line in a free-roaming role. This is potentially what he could envision for Zirkzee.
Indeed, the 6 foot 4 attacker has all the necessary traits to flourish in the unorthodox position due to his ability to identify space to get involved in play, drop deeper to create overloads, and use his dribbling to unlock defences. His high overall touches, touches in the middle third of the pitch and successful take-ons serve as evidence to that.
Overall, Zirkzee gives Ten Hag plenty of options in terms of squad selection due to his ability to perform in multiple game states and roles. If Rashford were to swap Manchester for Paris, then the Netherlands ace could be the perfect replacement.
da esoccer bet: The January transfer window slams shut in just over a week and Liverpool are yet to make a single senior addition to their playing squad at the time of writing.
da betano casino: Jurgen Klopp does not appear to be in desperate need of any signings to bolster his side as the Reds are currently top of the Premier League table after 20 matches – two points ahead of Manchester City in second.
They could extend that lead to five points, albeit with one more match played than their rivals, with a win over Bournemouth later today at the Vitality Stadium.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
Klopp was a busy man during the summer transfer window as the midfield underwent an overhaul with the likes of Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Fabinho, and Naby Keita, among others, moving on.
They were replaced by Wataru Endo, Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Alexis Mac Allister but Liverpool are yet to sign a nailed-on heir to Fabinho's position as a holding midfielder.
Liverpool's search for a defensive midfielder
It was recently reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport,as relayed by TEAMtalk, that the Reds are one of the clubs interested in a deal to sign Atalanta ace Ederson.
Fellow Premier League side Newcastle United were also mentioned as the other outfit eyeing up a swoop for the Brazilian enforcer, although there is no mention of whether they are looking to sign the talented gem this month or in the summer transfer window.
However, the outlet also stated that Juventus are ready to go all out to sign Dutch midfielder Teun Koopmeiners at the end of the season and this could affect Liverpool's pursuit of Ederson.
Atalanta are said to be reluctant to cash in on both of their midfield stars and this means that the Reds could need to rush to secure a deal for their man before the Old Lady are able to snap up the Netherlands international.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Manchester United and Barcelona are also interested in Ederson and that the Italian side would be prepared to part ways with him if they received an offer within the region of £35m.
It now remains to be seen whether or not Liverpool are prepared to pay £35m to sign the impressive youngster this month, or if they will wait and test their luck in the summer.
If FSG do sanction a deal for the 24-year-old battler then they could finally replace Fabinho for Klopp as the right-footed ace is a superb combative midfielder who can win possession back for his side at an impressive rate whilst also being progressive on the ball.
Fabinho's importance to Liverpool
At his best, the Brazil international was outstanding at the base of Liverpool's midfield as a ball-winning expert who contributed in and out of possession.
During the 2019/20 title-winning campaign in the Premier League, Fabinho played in 28 of the club's 38 matches and caught the eye with 3.4 tackles and interceptions per game.
In fact, he ranked within the top 15% of midfielders in the division for tackles (2.68) per 90 that season, which shows that he was one of the best in his position when it came to cutting out opposition attacks by putting his foot in to win the ball.
Liverpool midfielder Fabinho.
The former Monaco ace also ranked within the top 31% of his positional peers for progressive passes (5.58) per 90 and this suggests that Fabinho also provided quality in possession to progress his side up the pitch to find the likes of Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino, and Sadio Mane in dangerous positions in the final third.
Last season, the now-Al-Ittihad gem played in 36 of Liverpool's 38 Premier League games and made 2.8 tackles and interceptions per match.
Liverpool could pay crazy price for “world-class” £100m Fabinho heir
Jurgen Klopp would land the perfect midfielder by completing this audacious swoop.
ByAngus Sinclair Jan 13, 2024
This shows that he was not as effective as a defender as the towering titan was at the peak of his powers but Fabinho remained a reliable player in possession with a pass success rate of 89% for Klopp in the middle of the park.
FSG could now finally replace the Brazilian battler, who departed last summer, by securing a deal for his compatriot – Ederson – either this month or at the end of the season.
The stats that show why Ederson could replace Fabinho
The Atalanta star has been in sublime form for the Italian club this season and has showcased his abilities in and out of possession as a number six.
He is an outstanding contributor defensively in the Serie A and has the quality on the ball to be a valuable asset for Liverpool at the other end of the pitch.
Ederson has averaged 3.9 tackles and interceptions combined and 5.6 ball recoveries per game across 20 league outings for Atalanta, whilst only being dribbled past 0.5 times per match.
Meanwhile, no Liverpool midfielder has managed more than 3.2 tackles and interceptions per outing in the Premier League so far this season.
The 24-year-old dynamo ranks within the top 12% of Serie A midfielders or higher this season for tackles (2.71) and interceptions (1.46) per 90.
These statistics show that he is one of the most prolific players in the division when it comes to winning possession back for his side, which suggests that the £35m-rated talent could be a terrific defensive midfielder for the Reds due to his ability to cut out opposition attacks on a regular basis.
Ederson also has the quality to make a difference at the top end of the pitch for Atalanta, as you can see by his performance in several key attacking metrics below.

He has been an above average performer when it comes to finding the back of the net and progressing the play from a defensive midfield position.
Ederson, who was hailed as "fun" to watch by U23 scout Antonio Mango, has the ability to mix sublime defensive work with impressive contributions on the ball, which is why he is a complete midfielder.
He also has time and room to improve at the age of 24 and could come in as a long-term addition to Liverpool's squad to be their starting defensive midfielder for many more years to come – finally replacing Fabinho at the heart of the midfield – if FSG secure his services.
da realbet: Mero compromisso contra um jogo importante. O duelo entre Botafogo e São Paulo, neste segunda-feira, às 20h, no Estádio Nilton Santos, pela 37ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro, traz à tona diferentes objetivos para as equipes dentro de campo.
Já rebaixado, o Botafogo vê a equipe apenas como uma mera oportunidade de cumprir tabela. O Alvinegro não sai da última colocação do Brasileirão e, por consequência, já está garantido na segunda divisão. Assim, vê as partidas restantes da competição como uma oportunidade de testes para garotos da base.
Diante do Tricolor, o interino Lúcio Flávio não poderá contar Kanu, que foi expulso diante do Goiás, na última rodada. Romildo, com uma entorse na mão, também está fora.
O São Paulo é o terceiro colocado do Brasileirão, com 63 pontos e tenta garantir a vaga na fase de grupos da Copa Libertadores. Para isso, precisa fazer mais quatro pontos nos jogos contra Botafogo, segunda-feira, e Flamengo, na próxima quinta-feira, para não depender de tropeços rivais.
A principal novidade ficou por conta do meia Gabriel Sara, que se recuperou uma lesão na coxa e está à disposição do técnico interino Marcos Vizolli. Sem Daniel Alves, o jovem deve ser titular no meio-campo da equipe. Em compensação, o atacante uruguaio Gonzalo Carneiro saiu machucado contra o Palmeiras e não foi relacionado.

Despite the forecast for rain on the final day, South Africa A’s lead of 40 with just one wicket in hand may prove too little to deny India A victory
ESPNcricinfo staff11-Sep-2019
Shahbaz Nadeem bowled with guile and control•Getty Images
Only 20 overs of play was possible on the third day in Thiruvananthapuram, but it was enough for India A to set up a potentially convincing victory in the first four-dayer against South Africa A at Greenfields Stadium.Resuming at 125 for five after two sessions were lost to rain, South Africa A were reduced to 179 for 9 in the last session, with a lead of just 40. The last-wicket pair of Lutho Simpala and Lungi Ngidi were at the crease when light faded.Jalaj Saxena, who opened up a 139-run first innings lead for India A with an unbeaten 61, was in the thick of things again, picking up two of the four wickets to fall in the day. Shahbaz Nadeem dismissed Dane Piedt to pick up his third wicket in the innings, while the other scalp – of Wiaan Mulder for 46, the first of the day – came courtesy a direct hit from Ricky Bhui.Heinrich Klaasen, the ninth batsman to fall, was the top scorer with 48. He remained the only South Africa A batsman – and the second in the match after India A captain Shubman Gill – to face over a 100 deliveries. No visiting batsman has managed to top fifty in the match so far.While there is more forecast for rain, South Africa A’s batting collapse may have taken out a draw from the picture, unless the last-wicket pair manage to stonewall India A’s bowlers on the final day on Thursday.The second four-day fixture is scheduled to begin in Mysore on September 17.
da cassino online: Although a significant transfer is off the table for Manchester United this January, they will still look to reinforce their squad before the end of deadline day.
da roleta: Erik ten Hag's squad has been relatively thin all season due to injuries, yet that problem will only worsen with a few players on their way out.
Therefore, to avoid a repeat of the first half of the season, United will become active in the latter stage of the window.
Man United want to sign a centre-back
According to a recent report from The Athletic, Man United have inquired about a potential loan deal for Matthijs de Ligt.
Matthijs de Ligt
The Dutch centre-back is estimated to be worth £43m as per CIES Football Observatory, but he could become a stop-gap signing this winter.
The fact that United are in a rebuilding period means that a loan seems to be the way forward, alongside their financial fair play restrictions.

How De Ligt would fit into the United starting XI
Injuries have been a problem across the entire team for the Red Devils this season, but their centre-backs have been particularly affected.
Every single central defender, bar Willy Kambwala, has picked up an injury this season, but luckily, Lisandro Martinez returned to the field against Spurs last time out.
Lisandro Martinez
The Argentine is hands-down United's first-choice left centre-back, with Ten Hag valuing his on-the-ball ability and proactivity. However, the boss has yet to find a perfect partner for the number six that he can rely on, which is why the loan move for De Ligt has come into the picture.
The 24-year-old defender was the rock and leader of Ten Hag's Ajax team that reached the semi-final of the 2018/19 Champions League campaign, which is why he's been described as a "generational talent" by Football Talent Scout Jacek Kulig. However, he has fallen out of favour at Bayern Munich and only played 14 games across all competitions.
Nonetheless, let's take a look at De Ligt's stats from the last year and how they compare to his positional peers from Europe's top five leagues.

The biggest attribute of the former Juventus star is his ability to control a game via his technical qualities and vast passing range, which is also one of Martinez's biggest strengths, as highlighted by the fact he had the second most accurate passes per game for United last season.
As a pairing, they would assert so much dominance in possession, rarely losing it while also having the ability to feed those higher up the field. They would also bring the best out of Andre Onana's passing qualities while allowing Ten Hag to switch to his playing out-from-the-back philosophy.
Furthermore, De Ligt's pure power and athleticism allow him to be dominant in the air, which would help United become more dangerous from crosses while also making them less likely to concede from set pieces. This is particularly important when next to Martinez, who ranks in the bottom 2% for aerials won across the top European leagues, as per FBref.
Overall, De Ligt would make United a much more balanced team, and his composed approach would work perfectly alongside the aggressive Argentine. Even if it's just a loan, it could turn Ten Hag's season around.
Unbeaten eighth-wicket stand between Lakmal and Dickwella keeps Sri Lanka in sight of parity after 12-wicket day
The Report by Shashank Kishore15-Aug-2019
Getty Images
Stumps Ajaz Patel hasn’t had the bowling opportunities he’d like when back home, but when he’s been called upon overseas since his debut late last year, he’s generally been a machine that delivers sharp-spinning deliveries mixed with dollops of drift and subtle changes in lengths.On surfaces like in Galle that offer bite, he can be more than a handful, as Sri Lanka found out on Thursday. His second Test five-for triggered a slide, Sri Lanka slipping from a comfortable 143 for 2 to 227 for 7 at stumps. They still trail New Zealand by 22, leaving the Test wide open after a pulsating 12-wicket day.The usually flamboyant Niroshan Dickwella battled against his own instincts at times to occupy the crease and finish the day with an out-of-character 39 off 74 balls. Suranga Lakmal, who swung the game away from New Zealand early in the morning with a magnificent spell of 4 for 15 in 5.2 overs, held fort for 79 minutes to make 28 not out. They combined to add 66 in 24.1 overs to frustrate New Zealand’s spinners, who at one stage looked like they would give their batsman a bigger cushion to work with.Kusal Mendis’ dismissal with the tea interval four minutes away started the slide. He is solid when he wants to be, but often has a tendency of playing a shot or two too many at inopportune moments. He didn’t score a single boundary after drinks in the second session and significantly slowed down after a bullet train-like start. This approach earned him a well-deserved half-century, but looking to blast Ajaz’s teaser through cover, he nicked to the slips and New Zealand, who at that point were probably starting to wonder if they would be staring at a deficit, were back in the game.Then the other Kusal – Perera – got in and three quiet deliveries later, attempted to cut a short ball from Trent Boult, except this one got big on him and cramped him for room as the ball lobbed to point. He was gone for 1. Suddenly, a game where neither side appeared to have conceded the advantage to the other swung in New Zealand’s favour; Sri Lanka committing the same mistakes New Zealand did – losing wickets in clumps – on the opening day against spin.Then came the wicket of half-centurion Angelo Mathews, who was done in by a fine cocktail of drift, dip and turn from Ajaz. Reaching out to drive one that wasn’t quite there, only to see Ross Taylor lap it up at slip.Suranga Lakmal was among the wickets on the second morning•Getty Images
These moments of madness came on the back of a solid middle session for Sri Lanka where Mathews and Mendis stonewalled New Zealand’s spin threat. In a 20-minute passage on either side of drinks, Sri Lanka found scoring tough, managing just eight runs in ten overs. Mathews met the ball with a full forward stride, but there was a sense that he may have been going into his shell. Then came two long hops off Tim Southee, which he hit for boundaries to break the shackles. The first of the two was a short ball thumped through point and the second a neat little tuck off his hips to the fine-leg boundary. Now, all revved up, he turned ultra-aggressive when he lofted Mitchell Santner over long-off, and cleared the ropes despite not hitting it well. But, by then, the stranglehold New Zealand seemed to have built around the Sri Lankans after reducing them to 66 for 2 had eased.Towards the end of the session, Kane Williamson, perhaps realising the importance of this stand, brought back Boult for a crack after a first spell of five overs that went for just seven. This didn’t make much of a difference as he struggled to move the ball or cause much ruffle, forcing Williamson to alternate between Will Somerville and Ajaz, and the move worked as they scythed through the lower order to leave Sri Lanka gasping, until they were saved by the Dickwella-Lakmal stand.In the morning, New Zealand unravelled rather dramatically in the face of an excellent Lakmal spell after resuming on 203 for 5. Lakmal claimed the prize wicket of Taylor for 86 with his first ball of the morning, and then went on to deliver a spell that yielded 4 for 15, as New Zealand lost their last five wickets for 46 runs. Attempting a cut to a short-of-a-length Lakmal ball close to his body, Taylor gave a straightforward edge to the wicketkeeper. Santner didn’t last the first half hour either, shouldering arms to a Lakmal indipper that would have gone on to clip the stumps had it not struck pad.With both recognised batsmen out early in the day, it was up to New Zealand’s tail to provide some sort of resistance, but only Boult succeeded for any reasonable length of time, hitting a six and a four on his way to 18 off 22 balls. He eventually holed out trying to hit Lakmal for another six down the ground, before No. 11 Ajaz was out lbw first ball, attempting a leg-side flick. New Zealand’s innings wrapped up soon after drinks.Sri Lanka had 13 overs to bat out before lunch, and in that time lost opener Lahiru Thirimanne. After the interval, they lost Dimuth Karunaratne, who played back to a quicker delivery from Ajaz to be lbw. The stage was set for the middle order to step up, and though Mendis and Mathews did their job, the stumble came on cue, leaving the Test in the balance.

Porém, se engana quem acha que o Timão não tem mais o que competir neste Brasileiro. Décimo colocado, o time de Parque São Jorge pode conseguir uma vaga direta para a terceira fase da Copa do Brasil de 2021, caso ultrapasse o Athletico-PR e termine o campeonato nacional na nona colocação.

da dobrowin: Among those who desperately need January reinforcements is undoubtedly Newcastle United. The Magpies have seen any progress they made last season, which saw them reach the Carabao Cup final and qualify for the Champions League, come to a crashing halt in brutal fashion. Cursed with injuries and suffering the consequences of failing to recruit enough squad depth, Newcastle could now turn to the transfer market.
da poker: Eddie Howe's side have a matter of months to turn their season around from mid-table stagnation in the Premier League to the joys of European qualification once more. And reports suggest that they're not messing around in pursuit of that goal, having made an approach to sign a rising star up front.
Newcastle transfer news
Heading into the season with just three recognised centre-backs and two strikers was always going to come back to haunt a Newcastle side left balancing European and domestic football this season.
As injuries have piled up, Howe has gradually run out of solutions, resulting in defeats against the likes of Nottingham Forest and Luton Town. With the January transfer window now open, however, those at St James' Park can make up for their summer failure by landing one of this season's standouts in the Premier League.
Dominic Solanke scores in Bournemouth's away victory against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
According to Mike McGrath of The Telegraph, Newcastle have made an approach for Dominic Solanke, who is a forward at the top of his game this season. The Cherries, however, have reportedly issued an instant rejection to the Magpies in an attempt to keep hold of their goalscorer until at least the end of the current campaign.
As the window progresses, Solanke will certainly be one to keep an eye on, as interest in his signature continues to come from those sitting among England's elite. In the middle of his best season to date, the Chelsea academy graduate could earn another chance at a big move this season.
"Outstanding" Solanke can surpass Wilson
At 31-years-old, Callum Wilson is gradually edging past the peak of his powers for Newcastle, bringing the need for a replacement. And Solanke could not only be the perfect replacement for the England international, but he could even be an upgrade. Potentially making the same move as Wilson – going from Bournemouth to Newcastle – Solanke's stats show that he has outperformed both Wilson and Alexander Isak this season, not just in goals but in over-performing the chances available to him.

Solanke has earned deserved praise for his performances this season, including from Paul Merson, who said: “I had Solanke (but picked Haaland). But I did pick this (Team of the Season) before the last week (hat-trick). I think he has been outstanding. I think he went to Liverpool a bit early. Didn’t perform. Got behind the eight ball. Went to Bournemouth and now I think he has been outstanding. I think he has been a threat. I wouldn’t be surprised if he carries on doing what he is doing he gets a move.”
