Spurs youngster growing more and more popular with Ange left "impressed"

Tottenham Hotspur have a budding youngster growing more and more popular behind-the-scenes, with manager Ange Postecoglou's head being turned.

Postecoglou praises Spurs teenagers

There are a good few Lilywhites talents to watch out for over the next few years. Striker Mikey Moore, who is currently thriving at N17, was recently named in The Guardian's yearly 'Next Generation" piece as one of the best standout academy talents in England.

He's impressing many on-lookers with his devastating take-on ability, dribbling past opponents "as if they are not there" (Dave Hytner), but Moore isn't the only teenager who Spurs could fast-track for first-team action soon. Postecoglou has already expressed his admiration for the likes of Jamie Donley and Alfie Dorrington, with the Australian naming the pair as those who've particularly blown him away.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou.

“With the young guys like Jamie [Donley], he’s been doing really well with the U21s consistently. Jamie and Alfie Dorrington have really stood out and that’s why they’ve been training with us" said Postecoglou to football.london.

“They’ve got to keep working and it doesn’t mean they’re ahead in the pecking order of people like Alfie Devine and Dane Scarlett who are out on loan. I’ve been really pleased with Jamie and Alfie though, they’ve been working well.”

Supporters should keep their eyes peeled for Donley in particular, as a report by TEAMtalk suggests this week.

Ange left "impressed" by "popular" Donley

According to their information, Spurs boss Postecoglou is being left continuously impressed by Donley and his run of form. The teenager is growing more and more popular at Hotspur Way, and it is believed that there is a growing belief he is ready for first-team action.

It's added that Postecoglou and co are set for a decision on his immediate future, as EFL clubs also circle to take the forward on loan.

Donley, who operates as a second striker, is in absolutely scintillating form for Spurs' Under-21s right now. The 18-year-old has racked up eight assists and four goals in just 12 Premier League 2 appearances this season, with reporter Alasdair Gold even calling him the "most confident player at Tottenham".

“I’m not saying throw him in at the start whatsoever and I think he needs to be brought in carefully,” said the football.london journalist on his Gold & Guest YouTube channel.

“But when everyone’s looking at Veliz to get some minutes, or Ashley Phillips to get some minutes, you’ve got a player who is probably the most confident player at Tottenham Hotspur right now Jamie Donley.

“He’s just won the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award as well, everything he’s doing is coming off.

“He’s got a great vision, he’s got a great ability to thread a ball through, he can cross a ball in, he takes set pieces as well at times and when he’s a striker and he’s through on goal, he’s scoring the goals.”

It will be very interesting to see what Spurs end up doing with the unseen teen, who is yet to make his first-team debut despite standing out as one of the club's most exciting young stars.

تقارير: لاعب برشلونة على رادار أتلتيكو مدريد

كشفت وسائل إعلامية إخبارية عن تطورات جديدة حول مستقبل لاعب فريق برشلونة خلال فترة الانتقالات الصيفية الحالية.

وعاد المدافع الفرنسي كليمو لينجليه إلى صفوف برشلونة بعد انتهاء فترة إعارته مع نادي أستون فيلا الإنجليزي بالموسم الماضي.

وأشار الصحفي الموثوق سانتي أونا أن نادي أتلتيكو مدريد قد أبدى رغبته في التعاقد مع، كليمو لينجليه، خلال الميركاتو الصيفي الجاري.

وتابع أن المدافع الفرنسي يرحب بفكرة الانضمام إلى أتلتيكو مدريد واللعب تحت قيادة المدرب الأرجنتيني، دييجو سيميوني.

ولا تمانع إدارة برشلونة من رحيل مدافعها الفرنسي بسبب راتبه المرتفع، حيث لم يلعب خلال الموسمين الماضيين وتمت إعارته لـ أستون فيلا وتوتنهام.

يذكر أن لينجليه قد تلقى عدة عروض للانضمام إلى دوري روشن السعودي، لكن رغبته الأولى هي الاستمرار في أوروبا.

وشارك لينجليه هذا العام في 25 مباراة مع أستون فيلا في جميع المسابقات، بواقع 2072 دقيقة مع الفريق الإنجليزي طوال الموسم.

Ben Stokes aims to reframe his reputation with twin peaks of World Cup and Ashes

Allrounder faces CDC hearing in December but is looking to the future, not back to his recent court case after Bristol fracas

George Dobell26-Oct-2018

Ben Stokes hopes it is the future that will define how he is remembered, not his recent past.Stokes has been in the news a great deal in recent months following a late-night fight in Bristol and the court case that followed it. As a result, he was not selected for the Ashes tour of 2017-18 and lost the England vice-captaincy. Some of the headlines that he featured in during the trial made for grim reading both personally and for England cricket.But, having been cleared of a charge of affray and made a successful return to the England side, he hopes it is his role on the pitch – and in particular during the World Cup and Ashes in 2019 – that people talk about in the future.”Everything I do from here onwards is what people will hopefully remember,” he told the BBC in his first series of interviews since the trial. “It’s a big year coming up with two important things – a World Cup and an Ashes – and with them both being in England it’s really exciting.”While Stokes still faces an ECB Cricket Discipline Commission hearing in early December – along with Alex Hales, he has been charged with bringing the game into disrepute – he insists that “there’s other things on my mind that take precedence over that”.”I’m totally focused on cricket now,” he said. “We’ve such a big summer coming up. It’s all about looking forward.”Stokes knows, however, that if it is to be his cricket that defines how he is remembered, the team will have to play much better than they managed in succumbing to a record defeat (in terms of runs) in the final ODI against Sri Lanka.”It was a wake-up in that last game,” he told TalkSport. “The way Sri Lanka came out. I don’t recall the last time we were hit for 360 as a bowling unit or played so poorly with the bat. It was a big learning curve. It gave us a big kick up the arse.”Hopefully we can right those wrings in training on Friday and in the T20 on Saturday.”

Sub-20: Palmeiras ganha nos pênaltis e vai à final do Campeonato Paulista

MatériaMais Notícias

Na tarde desta segunda (21), a equipe sub-20 do Palmeiras eliminou o Audax nas penalidades, após empate por 2 a 2 no Estádio José Liberati, em Osasco, e se classificou para a decisão do Campeonato Paulista. Agora, a equipe vai enfrentar o Corinthians na final, em jogo único no sábado (26), com mando do rival por ter feito melhor campanha.

O Palmeiras é o atual tricampeão da categoria e o maior vitorioso do estadual com 16 conquistas.

Atuando com um elenco modificado ao longo do Campeonato Paulista, quem comanda a equipe nas partidas do estadual é Gilmey Ambere, assistente técnico de Wesley Carvalho. Por conta da maratona de partidas na categoria, a maioria dos atletas utilizados são jogadores não usados em campeonatos nacionais, somados a alguns da equipe principal, como Fabrício e Carlos.

Sofrendo um gol logo no início da partida, o Palmeiras demorou para entrar no confronto. No entanto, após o impacto do tento sofrido passou a ser dominante e controlou as ações da primeira etapa. Valdenilson, ponta direita alviverde, perdeu duas grandes chances. A primeira, chutou para fora cara a cara com o goleiro. Na segunda, perdeu um pênalti, batendo fraco no canto esquerdo. Ainda no primeiro tempo, Robinho empatou após bela jogada coletiva construída desde o campo defensivo.

Na etapa complementar, a partida passou a ser equilibrada, com chances sem grande perigo para ambos os lados. Aos 19, depois de falha defensiva do Palmeiras, o Audax passou a frente do placar novamente.

Em desvantagem, o Palmeiras voltou a ser superior e criou três grandes chances de gol. Aos 35, depois de bela jogada de Pedro Acácio, Daniel Silva, de apenas 16 anos, completou com categoria para o fundo das redes.

Nos pênaltis, Pedro Bicalho, Robert Dias, Pedro Acácio e Daniel Silva converteram para o Verdão. Miguel errou, mas viu o goleiro palestrino Kaique defender um e Leandro desperdiçar para o Audax. 4 a 3 e Palmeiras classificado.

Autor do gol decisivo e do pênalti que deu a classificação para o Palmeiras, Daniel foi captado do Desportivo Brasil e tem contrato de empréstimo com opção de compra válido até 2023. Em nove partidas, já soma 8 gols e 1 assistência entre torneios Sub-17 e Sub-20.

Além da final contra o Corinthians no sábado, o Verdão também volta a campo no próximo domingo (27) diante do Atlético Mineiro pelas quartas de finais do Campeonato Brasileiro Sub-20.

Norwich have “exciting” star out on loan who could solve attacking woes

Norwich City's comeback win against Cardiff City right before the international break in the Championship has arguably kept David Wagner in his job, the under-fire Canaries manager hanging onto his position with his team overcoming the Bluebirds 3-2 with a second-half flurry of goals.

Adam Idah would be the Canaries hero up top as the clock ticked down in the Welsh capital, the homegrown attacker netting his fifth goal of the season to clinch the dramatic win from off the bench – his first strike in a Norwich strip since scoring a brace away at Plymouth Argyle in late September.

Idah's late goal only makes Wagner's choice over who he starts as his main striker week in, week out more tricky, Norwich struggling to find a new talismanic figure to lead from the front ever since Teemu Pukki departed for America in the summer.

Former Norwich striker Teemu Pukki.

Not playing as a traditional centre-forward for his current loan club, Norwich academy product Abu Kamara is loving life as a left winger at Portsmouth currently, despite mainly featuring as a lone striker in the Canaries youth set-up.

He could well be the answer to Norwich's attacking woes if they continue, returning from the south coast to Norfolk with a point to prove when the loan expires.

Kamara's career so far

Kamara has garnered a reputation at Norwich for being a prolific forward, scoring 43 times for both the U18's and U21's over 80 appearances.

Plying his trade more often than not as a centre-forward for the Canaries, Kamara has also featured down the channels on occasion – scoring 11 of his U21 goals as a winger, with the 20-year-old even playing as an attacking midfielder here and there when asked to do so.

This versatility – on top of his lethal goalscoring record at youth level which saw the 6 foot attacker net 13 goals last season in Premier League 2 from just 15 appearances – piqued Portsmouth's interest with John Mousinho tieing Kamara down to a season-long loan deal in the hopes he could potentially strut his stuff at a senior level.

Kamara has shown his raw talent so far – labelled as an "exciting" young prospect right after signing by the Pompey boss – and proving to be just that for Mousinho's table-toppers.

Kamara's season in numbers

Not quite reaching the same dizzying Norwich goalscoring heights just yet at Pompey, Kamara is still pleasing the Portsmouth fanbase with his displays that show great promise for the future.

Portsmouth's new number 25 has four goals and three assists from 22 appearances to date, scoring in Pompey's last League One encounter versus Charlton to open the scoring – a rocket of a strike hitting the back of the net, the Addicks shot-stopper watching the shot sail in.

This was his first goal in league action for Pompey since scoring at the start of September versus Peterborough United, but Kamara is far more than just an out-and-out goalscorer for his new short-term employers.

Up against Charlton, Kamara won three of his four ground duels, as per Sofascore, with the 20-year-old also attempting to be a provider for his teammates with two accurate crosses into the box – sharp-shooter Colby Bishop unable to get on the end both times to meaningfully connect.

With Norwich in need of a competent backup attacker at this point in time – reserve option Ashley Barnes only netting twice this season after joining from Burnley in the summer – Kamara could be a useful long-term solution to the club's attacking woes, with the 34-year-old Barnes a mere short-term option.

Wagner could also move Kamara to a position down the channels if he remains in his job after this season to compete with Christian Fassnacht, with such versatility also making the youngster a perhaps more rounded option in contrast to the veteran Barnes – who solely operates through the middle.

In the meantime, however, Kamara will just be concentrating on helping Portsmouth in whatever way he can for now, with Mousinho's men hoping promotion to the Championship is sealed this campaign.

Everton could sign "terrific" striker with more goals this season than DCL

While a ten-point deduction has cast uncertainty on Everton's future as a Premier League club, Sean Dyche's side are actually having a decent season so far and would be sitting 15th had they not been found guilty of breaching Financial Fair Play regulations.

However, a 3-0 defeat at home to Manchester United on Sunday proved that the Toffees still have many issues within the side, particularly up top, having failed to score a single goal from an xG of 2.5. Everton now boast the joint-sixth-worst attack in the league as a result.

Everton manager Sean Dyche.

The Merseyside club had plenty of chances to punish Man United's defence but failed to capitalise and were put to the sword by the visitors' blistering front three.

Dyche is reportedly looking to rectify his team's goalscoring woes in January by bringing one player back to English football.

Chuba Akpom to Everton links

According to TEAMtalk, Everton are keeping tabs on Ajax centre-forward Chuba Akpom ahead of the January transfer window and are set to battle it out with five other clubs from the Premier League, including fellow relegation contenders Burnley, Sheffield United and Luton Town.

Akpom was the top goalscorer in the Championship last term, having bagged 28 goals in 38 league appearances as Middlesbrough reached the playoff spots. Head coach Michael Carrick called the striker "terrific" when he reached the 20-goal mark back in March, becoming the first Boro player to do so in 33 years.

This was also the first time Akpom had scored ten league goals or more in one campaign and the 28-year-old earned a move to Eredivisie giants Ajax during the summer for £12m. However, the Arsenal academy product could be set for a return to English football very soon.

Chuba Akpom's stats this season

Akpom has made 13 appearances so far at the Johan Cruijff Arena but has started just two matches in all competitions. Despite this, he has found the net five times in nine league games, with all five coming in his last four appearances for the Dutch side.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is Everton's joint-top goalscorer this season alongside Abdoulaye Doucoure with four goals apiece. However, the centre-forward didn't have his shooting boots on at Goodison Park last Sunday during the Toffees' 3-0 defeat. Calvert-Lewin alone had five of Everton's 24 total shots on goal but failed to convert a single opportunity.

Overall, this season, the England international has scored three goals in the Premier League from an xG of 3.45 so the striker is underperforming in the penalty area. In fact, Akpom has outperformed Everton's number '9' in a number of key attacking metrics this term.

Akpom has proven over the course of the past season-and-a-half with his 34 goals in all competitions that he is more potent inside the box than Everton's main striker. Additionally, Ajax's summer signing has missed merely three games in total from injuries over the past six seasons, whereas Calvert-Lewin has missed 21 matches since the beginning of the previous campaign.

Middlesbrough's former striker Chuba Akpom.

While Akpom may not be Dyche's first choice, he could act as an excellent backup option and will likely play a lot of football at Goodison given Calvert-Lewin's injury record.

Lehmann ensures South Australia earn draw

Steve O’Keefe claimed four wickets but a result always appeared unlikely on the final day on a placid surface

Steve O’Keefe bagged four wickets and Jake Lehmann made a half-century as New South Wales and South Australia played out a tame draw on a very flat surface at the SCG.South Australia began the day 143 runs behind the Blues with only two results really possible. They batted sensibly and conservatively to ensure a loss was taken out of the equation.The Redbacks top five all faced a minimum of 71 balls with no player scoring less than 22. The opening pair put on 47 before O’Keefe claimed his first of the day with Conor McInerney given out caught at bat pad.Jake Weatherald sliced a ball to backward point for 36 before Kelvin Smith chopped on to one that kept low for 22.Callum Ferguson was claimed by a superb catch from Moises Henriques at silly mid-off, scooping a ball one-handed that would have landed on the cut strip.Lehmann held his nerve throughout to reach his second half-century of the match and pass fifty for the fifth time this Sheffield Shield season. He was one of only two players not to fall to O’Keefe with debutant Greg West claiming both Lehmann and Tom Cooper late in the day. The game was called off with South Australia six down and 78 runs ahead.
