علق فيرجيل فان دايك قائد ليفربول على استبعاد محمد صلاح من تشكيل الفريق للمباراة الثانية على التوالي خلال التعادل أمام سندرلاند بهدف لمثله في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

وكان محمد صلاح قد جلس بديلاً خلال فوز ليفربول على وست هام يوم الأحد الماضي، ويعتقد فان دايك أن ما حدث يثبت بأنه لا يوجد أي لاعب يملك رصيد لا محدود.

وتعد هذه هي المرة الأولى في مسيرة محمد صلاح أن يجلس بديلًا ولا يبدأ بشكل أساسي مع ليفربول في الدوري الإنجليزي، وقد سجل اللاعب أربعة أهداف فقط هذا الموسم.

وسئل فان دايك حول إذا كان جلوس محمد صلاح يعد رسالة لغرفة الملابس وقال في تصريحات نشرتها “ميرور” البريطانية: “لطالما كان هذا هو الحال، ليس الأمر وكأنك تملك رصيد لا محدود، بل على الجميع أن يقدموا أداءً جيد”.

وأضاف: “لقد كان صلاح يفعل ذلك، لكن المدرب اتخذ هذا القرار في المباراتين الأخيرتين، جميعنا نريد الأفضل للنادي، أنا متأكد تماماً أنه سيبقى جزءاً كبيراً مما نسعى لتحقيقه، لأنه لاعب رائع وقد أثبت ذلك باستمرار”.

وأشاد فان دايك بزميله فلوريان فيرتز الذي سجل هدف التعادل أمام سندرلاند: “هناك سبب وجيه جداً وراء انضمامه لنادي مثلنا، هو لاعب استثنائي وعالمي المستوى ويمكن أن يصبح أفضل لكن قد يستغرق بعض الوقت، عليه أن يحافظ على عزيمته، ولا يتفاخر عندما يكون أداؤه جيدًا أو سيئًا جداً أو يهتم بالأرقام”.

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo was irate after umpires determined that Jordan Lawlar interfered with San Francisco Giants base runner Christian Koss when he attempted to round second base.

Lawlar was standing in the base path in between second and third base when Koss ran straight into him while rounding second. Koss went to the ground in pain. After reviewing the play, umpires called Lawlar for interference, which set Lovullo off, and he stormed onto the field in order to give the officiating crew a piece of his mind.

It didn't take long for Lovullo to get ejected from the game, but before he left the field, he pulled out the UNO reverse card and gestured as if he was ejecting all four of the umpires from the game.

Have a look at an all-time meltdown from the Diamondbacks' skipper:

Lovullo pointed at each umpire individually and hilariously attempted to eject them from the game, but to no avail. After getting his money's worth, Lovullo eventually walked off the field and into the clubhouse, though he was clearly still fuming.

The ejection was the second time this season and the 22nd time in his managerial career that Lovullo was tossed from a game.

There’s nothing like a classic baseball ejection.

Callum McGregor’s stunning winner for Celtic against St Mirren on Saturday night in the Scottish Premiership looks even more important with the benefit of hindsight.

Hearts went on to lose to Aberdeen on Sunday in their match, which means that the Hoops are only four points adrift of the Jam Tarts and have a game in hand over them.

Martin O’Neill has done a terrific job in interim charge, winning all of his Premiership matches so far, but some of the players who struggled under Brendan Rodgers have also struggled under him, including Michel-Ange Balikwisha.

Why Balikwisha looks like a misjudged signing by Celtic

The Hoops signed the Belgian forward from Royal Antwerp in a deal worth up to £5m during the summer transfer window, but it was an odd piece of business because Sebastian Tounekti, who plays in the same position, was also brought in from Hammarby.

Tounekti has since started all 12 of his appearances in the Premiership and the Europa League, per Sofascore, whilst Balikwisha has started twice in the Premiership and is yet to start in Europe.

In fact, the former Antwerp star has been an unused substitute for O’Neill in the last two league games against Kilmarnock and St Mirren, which suggests that he has failed to impress the Northern Irishman in training.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

Balikwisha has, therefore, been a bad signing for the Hoops because he has failed to earn a place in the team on a regular basis, and it was an odd move by the club given the deal they then clinched for Tounekti in the same area of the pitch.

The 24-year-old flop was not the worst attacking signing made by the Scottish giants in the summer, though, as that award may go to centre-forward Shin Yamada.

Why Shin Yamada was a worse signing for Celtic than Michel-Ange Balikwisha

He was a curious signing by Celtic in the summer transfer window because the Japanese forward only scored two goals in 21 J1 League matches in the 2025 campaign for his previous club, after a return of 19 goals in 38 matches in 2024, per Sofascore.

This suggests that the Hoops were signing a player who was on the decline, given his poor goalscoring record this year, and that made it a slightly puzzling move.

His time at Parkhead so far this season has done little to answer any questions around why the club decided to sign him on a permanent deal, as he has rarely featured or made an impact when given the opportunity.

As you can see in the table above, Balikwisha has played more matches and more minutes in the league, delivering one assist, than the former J1 League marksman.

Shin was also left out of the squad for the league phase of the Europa League, as Johnny Kenny, Kelechi Iheanacho, Daizen Maeda, and Callum Osmand were picked ahead of him in his position, whilst Balikwisha has made three appearances in that competition.

Brendan Rodgers said that Shin was a “strong player who can score goals and create for others” in his unveiling, but a return of two goals and one assist in 27 games for Kawasaki Frontale and Celtic combined, per Sofascore, in 2025 does not back that up.

The 25-year-old striker is yet to deliver a goal or an assist for the Hoops in six appearances in his first three months at the club, and appears to be well down the pecking order after being left as an unused substitute against St Mirren last time out.

O'Neill could drop Tounekti by playing "tenacious" Celtic star in new role

Martin O’Neill could finally drop Sebastian Tounekti from the starting line-up by playing this star in a new role.

ByDan Emery Nov 24, 2025

Therefore, as it stands, Shin is looking like an even worse signing for the Scottish giants than Balikwisha, who has at least provided an assist in the league and been included in the European squad list.

India consigned Australia to their heaviest ODI defeat, winning by 102 runs

S Sudarshanan17-Sep-2025

Smriti Mandhana brought up a 77-ball century•Getty Images

Eighteen years and 206 days. It was a long wait. Entire careers started and ended in the time between India’s previous ODI victory at home against Australia in 2007 and the 102-run triumph in New Chandigarh on Wednesday.The final margin may make the win seem easy but it took spirited bowling from India following Smriti Mandhana’s century to draw level at 1-1 in the three-match series. Riding on Mandhana’s 12th ODI ton, India posted 292, a total that seemed lower than what they should have got. In response, India’s seamers stifled the top order and the spinners put pressure on the middle to hand Australia their biggest ODI defeat. All this after being thrashed in the opening match at the same venue.Australia fined for slow over rate

Australia have been fined 10% of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate against India in the second ODI on Wednesday in New Chandigarh. Australia were ruled two overs short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration.

Match referee GS Lakshmi imposed the sanction on the visiting team in accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel. According to the code of conduct, players are fined 5% of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time. Australia captain Alyssa Healy pled guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing.

Australia wanted to “get out in the heat and acclimatise,” said their captain Alyssa Healy after asking India to bat on a flat track. India’s innings was Mandhana or bust. She hit a six off her eighth ball, won an unfavourable match-up against Ashleigh Gardner, and made use of the first powerplay to race to a 45-ball fifty. With India a batter short after Jemimah Rodrigues was ruled out of the series with viral fever, Mandhana never let the tempo drop.With Shafali Verma no longer in India’s ODI plans, Mandhana has taken on the role of aggressor and got to her century off just 77 balls, the second quickest for India. Only Meg Lanning (15) and Suzie Bates (13) have more hundreds than Mandhana. Her presence in the middle meant Australia couldn’t use their legspinners to full effect. Georgia Wareham went for 29 in her first two overs, with India’s vice-captain hitting her for three fours and two sixes, while Alana King was only introduced in the 34th, the over after Mandhana fell.While Mandhana thrived, the other India batters struggled. Pratika Rawal couldn’t find a way around Australia’s tactics and 20 off her 32 balls were dots. Harleen Deol did not score a run off 17 of her first 19 balls. Deepti Sharma made 40 off 53 but hit just two fours. Darcie Brown picked up three wickets, having found her rhythm towards the end of the innings.Kranti Goud removed Alyssa Healy early•Getty Images

Australia were tasked with achieving their highest chase in ODIs and fast bowler Renuka Singh, playing her first international following a stress injury last year, took only six balls to strike. Georgia Voll, who had come in because Phoebe Litchfield was rested for a minor quad strain, bagged a five-ball duck in her first international match in India. Soon, Kranti Goud dismissed Healy for the second time in two games. After the first powerplay, Australia were 25 for 2, their lowest 10-over powerplay total since the 2017 World Cup.Ellyse Perry kept Australia on track with Beth Mooney and then Annabel Sutherland. India dropped a few catches: Richa Ghosh failed to hold on to a tough leg-side chance after Perry attempted a paddle, Deol dropped a miscue from Mooney after running in from long-off, and Radha dropped Sutherland off her own bowling. Perry and Mooney added 50 off 73 balls before Perry and Sutherland put on 46 off 45 balls.India also had an injury scare when Renuka walked off clutching her left calf. She bowled a spell of six consecutive overs at the start of the chase and was brought back after a five-over break. While Renuka came back on to the field a few overs later, she did not bowl anymore.It was Sneh Rana who deceived Mooney with a wider line – with Arundhati Reddy, in for Rodrigues, taking a running catch – and then Radha dealt the chase a severe blow by dismissing Perry caught and bowled. When Reddy ended Sutherland’s aggressive innings, India sensed a win, which was sealed by Deepti taking two wickets in two overs. She had Gardner and Tahlia McGrath caught in the outfield to all but shut out Australia.There was no coming back from there and Goud bowled Wareham and had Megan Schutt caught and bowled to complete a memorable win.

Leicestershire display their own flaws in heavy loss in Cardiff

Asa Tribe scored an unbeaten century•Getty Images

Glamorgan 278 for 3 (Tribe 131*, Smale 83*) beat Leicestershire 274 (Hill 81, Norton 3-41, Franco 3-59) by seven wicketsYoungsters prevailed for Glamorgan against Leicestershire, to secure a consolation victory at the end of a sour, bottom-placed title defence of the Metro Bank One-Day Cup.Asa Tribe’s second century in as many games backed up figures of 3 for 41 and 3 for 59 from 18-year-old pair Tom Norton, on debut, and Romano Franco respectively. Norton’s career got off to an impressive start as he dismissed Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood for a first professional wicket.Lewis Hill showed resistance for 81 in Leicestershire’s 274 before 21-year-old Tribe’s coming-of-age season was capped by his 131 not out, accompanied by Will Smale’s unbeaten 83 in a match-winning partnership against a much-changed Foxes side.It had been a poor campaign for the two teams who had shared the last two editions of the One-Day Cup. But Leicestershire came out the blocks firing despite being inserted, taking full advantage of a makeshift opening bowling pair lacking an out-and-out pace threat. Sol Budinger planted Andy Gorvin for two straight sixes inside five overs before being untimely dismissed, caught at deep third to a good low catch from Norton, in the first act of a strong fielding display.Zain Ul Hassan’s conceded five wides from his first ball, and four overthrows an over later was a reminder to snap back into concentation after Sol Budinger had threatened to take the game away early.At 44 for 1 from just five overs, Hill throttled back to ease to his half-century and looked less of a player in dire need of the runs, more one in full control.With Shan Masood and Peter Handscomb at four and five, Leicestershire threatened to take the game away from a side fielding two 18-year-old bowlers. However, Norton trapped Masood before another youngster Henry Hurle threw down Handscomb’s stumps to break an 84-run stand.At 176 for 4, Sam Wood arrived at number six, and with Leicestershire negotiating a few injuries and Hundred replacements, Glamorgan applied the pressure for a period of controlled ease, with no boundary for nearly eight overs after the 38th.A couple of Alex Green blows towards the back end helped the tail wag but Glamorgan finished in the driving seat after bowling a team out for the first time in their seven consecutive matches.Eddie Byrom started the chase with typical composure, milking singles before throwing away an off-side slash after getting himself in.Top wicket-taker in the tournament, Green, took just two balls to find himself a wicket – Hurle chopping the 18-year-old on.Kiran Carlson had three trademark sixes inside 13 balls before his cameo was ended prematurely, a partnership of 57 inside six overs while Tribe broke no sweat.Tribe went about his work quietly, remaining in Carlson’s shadow while still scoring at a-run-a-ball. He scored back-to-back boundaries to reach a 48-ball half-century, but that was just half the job done.The match-changing unbeaten partnership of 172 might have ended before it got going, when Smale drove a Green no-ball to backward-point on 3 for an early reprieve; another simple dropped catch followed when the damage had mostly been done.

Russell Martin may be gone, but there is no change in fortunes for Rangers and the Ibrox masses.

On Saturday, the Gers failed to win in the Scottish Premiership yet again, this time held to a 2-2 draw, their sixth of the campaign.

Thelo Aasgaard broke the deadlock in sensational fashion for Rangers, but they required a late equaliser from James Tavernier to pinch a point in Govan.

This means, remarkably, the Light Blues have still only won one of eight Premiership matches to date, currently sixth in the table, a whopping 13 points adrift runaway league-leaders Hearts.

Martin was dismissed following the underwhelming 1-1 draw at Falkirk a fortnight ago, but no permanent successor has yet been found, U19s coach Steven Smith in interim charge for the foreseeable future, but when the new boss does belatedly arrive, could that be bad news for one of Martin’s summer signings in particular?

The latest on Rangers' search for a new manager

During the international break, Rangers were seemingly turned down by their top two managerial targets.

First, Steven Gerrard rejected the opportunity to return to Ibrox, following talks with the club, before former Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Röhl also pulled out of the running.

As a result, Kevin Muscat became the front-runner to take the job; he made 26 appearances for the club during the 2002/03 season as Alex McLeish’s team won the treble.

Since becoming a coach himself, he began at A-League side Melbourne Victory, overseeing 200 matches, winning four major trophies, including two grand final titles.

He then endured a very brief stint in charge of Sint-Truidense, before succeeding a certain Ange Postecoglou as Yokohama F. Marinos manager, winning the J1 League title, as well as the Japanese Super Cup.

Manager Focus

Who are the greatest coaches in the land? Football FanCast’s Manager Focus series aims to reveal all.

Since December 2023, he has been in charge of Shanghai Port, adding a Chinese Super League and FA Cup double to his roll of honours in 2024.

Yet, despite it looking as though a deal had been agreed, it was reported on Sunday evening by journalist Ben Jacobs that the Muscat move “is now off”. Subsequent reports indicate that the aforementioned Rohl has entered the frame again.

Whoever the new manager is, whether it be Rohl or not, one of Russell Martin’s summer signings should be feeling the heat.

Rangers flop on borrowed time under a new manager

Rangers made a whopping 13 new signings this summer, the majority of whom have massively underwhelmed.

Youssef Chermiti, Aasgaard, Joe Rothwell and Emmanuel Fernandez and others have, to date, not justified their transfer fees, while young loanee Jayden Meghoma has appeared out of his depth.

The left-back arrived on a season-long loan from Brentford, having made only four appearances for the Bees, as well as just four for Southampton and 14 in Preston North End colours, underlining his inexperience.

Thus, it should come as no surprise that he has struggled to make an impact in Glasgow.

As outlined, Meghoma has been a regular starter for Rangers this season, named in the lineup for ten of the 11 matches since his debut, the draw with Falkirk, which proved to be Martin’s final match in charge, the sole exception.

Some of his statistics are impressive, most notably tackles, but the possession lost tells the story, with the teenager continuing to be a weak link in the Rangers back line.

He was once again poor in the draw with Dundee United, failing to complete a single tackle, winning only four of his nine duels and losing possession 17 times for good measure.

Thus, if and when a new manager is appointed, he’ll surely prioritise experience at the back, thereby shifting Max Aarons over to the left or asking Derek Cornelius to fill in there, with Meghoma a leading candidate to be cast aside.

Martin once claimed that he has “big potential” but ultimately, we’re yet to see that in Glasgow. Interim manager, Steven Smith, must drop him next time out.

Rangers can prepare for Muscat by playing star with "feet like drumsticks"

Rangers can prepare for life with Kevin Muscat in charge by unleashing this star against Dundee United.

وكتب دياز، عبر حسابه الرسمي على موقع التواصل الاجتماعي “انستجرام”: “كانت ليلة مليئة بالمشاعر، كرة القدم تذكرنا دائمًا أنه في 90 دقيقة يمكن أن يحدث كل شيء من الأفضل إلى الأسوأ”.

وأتم: “شعرت بالحزن لعدم إنهاء المباراة مع زملائي لكنني فخور بمجهودهم الرائع، أتمنى لحكيمي عودة سريعة إلى الملاعب”.

Arsenal are preparing for a major financial windfall as they line up a new, lucrative deal for food and drink rights at the Emirates Stadium and explore ambitious plans for expansion. The Gunners are expected to earn an extra £10 million per season from new matchday partnerships, while long-term proposals could see the team temporarily relocate to Wembley for two years.

Arsenal set for cash boost with Emirates redevelopment

Arsenal are on the brink of a substantial revenue boost as they prepare to renegotiate their long-standing catering deal at the Emirates Stadium. The club’s current 20-year agreement with Delaware North – signed when Arsenal first moved into their new home in 2006 – is set to expire next summer, opening the door to a more flexible and profitable arrangement. The Gunners are reportedly in talks with multiple firms, as per The Sun, with the new deal expected to add at least £500,000 per game to matchday revenue, translating to over £10 million annually.

In the 2023-24 financial year, Arsenal posted record revenues of £616.6 million, of which £132 million came from matchday income, including ticket sales, hospitality, and in-stadium spending. With constant Champions League football and attendances consistently at capacity, the club now view the Emirates as a key driver of sustained commercial growth. The decision to restructure the food and beverage operations is part of a wider strategy led by Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE) to modernise the matchday experience and maximise earnings.

At the same time, the club is exploring long-term expansion possibilities that could see the Emirates’ capacity rise from its current 60,704 to as much as 70,000–80,000. Such plans, however, would come with a heavy price tag – potentially upwards of £500 million – and might require Arsenal to temporarily play home games at Wembley Stadium for up to two seasons.

AdvertisementGetty Images SportArsenal preparing for new high-income deals at new Emirates

The expiration of the Delaware North contract marks a turning point in Arsenal’s commercial operations, offering a rare opportunity to restructure a deal first signed under financial strain nearly two decades ago. When the Emirates opened in 2006, the Gunners had limited leverage due to stadium construction debts, which forced them into a lengthy agreement that soon became outdated as matchday spending habits evolved. A more modern, flexible partnership could allow Arsenal to integrate multiple hospitality brands, food vendors, and premium fan zones across the concourse and executive levels.

Financially, the timing is ideal. Arsenal’s return to Europe’s elite competitions has re-established their global profile, and consistent home sellouts have made the Emirates one of the Premier League’s most lucrative venues. The club’s ownership recognises the importance of converting that demand into long-term infrastructure growth – particularly as competitors like Manchester City, Tottenham, and Liverpool continue to expand or upgrade their own stadiums.

However, the proposed large-scale redevelopment would come with logistical and financial challenges. While the club’s vision of a 70,000–80,000-seater Emirates excites supporters, the associated costs could exceed half a billion pounds, making such an expansion potentially prohibitive in the short term. A more likely outcome, according to sources, is a reconfiguration of corporate boxes into open hospitality areas, which could boost capacity by up to 2,000 seats for a fraction of the cost – around £100 million.

Getty Images SportArsenal and their history with the Emirates

The Emirates Stadium, which opened in July 2006, represented a bold leap for Arsenal’s ambition to compete financially with Europe’s elite clubs. Moving less than 500 yards from their beloved Highbury, the Gunners invested around £390 million into constructing the 60,000-seat venue, which instantly transformed their economic outlook. Matchday revenue skyrocketed from approximately £37 million at Highbury to over £90 million at the Emirates in its early years, though the project also ushered in a decade of financial restraint that limited player spending under Arsene Wenger.

Over time, Arsenal undertook a process of “Arsenalisation” to embed the club’s identity into the modern structure, installing legends’ statues, murals, and the famous Highbury clock. The Emirates now stands as one of the Premier League’s most recognisable stadiums, though fans have long called for improvements in atmosphere and amenities. Demand for tickets remains enormous, with over 100,000 supporters reportedly on the waiting list for season passes – one of the factors motivating KSE’s renewed interest in expansion.

Historically, Arsenal have even considered Wembley before. In the late 1990s, when Highbury’s expansion plans were blocked, the club formally bid to purchase Wembley Stadium to make it their permanent home – a proposal rejected by the Football Association. The Gunners later used Wembley temporarily for Champions League fixtures between 1998 and 2000, making it a familiar fallback option should renovation works force another relocation.

Arsenal expect record income after Emirates revamp

Arsenal are expected to finalise their new catering and hospitality deal before the 2026-27 season, setting up a significant financial uplift as soon as next year. Club executives are simultaneously continuing feasibility studies on the Emirates expansion, weighing the benefits of a modest reconfiguration versus a full-scale rebuild that could necessitate a temporary move to Wembley. Any major redevelopment would require planning approval and would likely begin no earlier than 2027.

In the immediate term, the focus remains on sustaining record-breaking commercial growth while ensuring supporters benefit from an enhanced matchday experience. A revamped hospitality model, increased concourse variety, and potential capacity gains could push annual matchday income past £140 million, closing the gap with the likes of Manchester United and Tottenham.

Nottingham Forest have made an indifferent start to the 2025/26 campaign. Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have just four points to their name so far, and have struggled since their opening day victory over Brentford, in which they thrashed Keith Andrews’ side 3-1 at the City Ground.

Since then, the men in Garibaldi Red have picked up just one point, which was a resilient draw away to Crystal Palace. Their most recent outing saw them lose 3-0 at home against the struggling West Ham United, a result which surprised some, given Forest’s result at home on the opening day.

Perhaps the lack of goals in their last two games has coincided with one thing in particular: Chris Wood’s short drought in front of goal.

Chris Wood’s start to the season

Drought is a harsh word to use when discussing Wood’s recent form. The New Zealand international scored a brace in Forest’s season opener against the Bees, but did not find the back of the net in the next two outings, which saw his club score once, thanks to Callum Hudson-Odoi.

His first goal was a resilient finish, winning the second ball from a corner after missing the initial header and poking home inside a packed penalty box.

His second goal was sublime, teed up by an exquisite first-time ball through the lines from Elliot Anderson. Wood ran onto it, rounded the goalkeeper and scored.

Of course, it is no surprise to see Wood on the scoresheet already for Nuno’s side this term. His record in Garibaldi Red is excellent, with 38 goals and four assists in just 85 appearances. Last season was his best in the Premier League, with 20 goals across the campaign.

That form earned him a place in the PFA Team of the Year, in a frontline alongside new Liverpool duo Alexander Isak and Mohamed Salah. Wood’s campaign in 2024/25 and his form for Forest across his career have both been exceptional.

However, Forest sold a striker back in July 2023 who has enjoyed an even more successful time than Wood.

The ex-Forest star who can’t stop scoring

The past few years under their current owner, Evangelos Marinakis, have seen Forest spend significant amounts on transfer fees. However, that has meant they have needed plenty of sales to help balance the books. Departures such as Brennan Johnson to Tottenham Hotspur and Anthony Elanga to Newcastle United are the notable exits.

Yet, someone who left the City Ground for only £5m just over two years ago may have slipped under the radar since his departure.

The man in question here is Sam Surridge, a key figure in their promotion success. He has been on fire for Nashville in the MLS since his departure.

More on those numbers in a moment, but first, it’s important to highlight the Slough-born star’s contribution for Forest.

Once described as a “sensational” striker and “one of the best finishers in the Championship” by Garry Birtles, Surridge scored 11 goals in 50 appearances, including a hat-trick against Swansea City and one in the Premier League, against Bournemouth.

Looking at his form since his £5m move stateside, Surridge has been largely unstoppable. He’s bagged more goals than Wood has managed as a Forest player, with 42 strikes in Nashville yellow, in just 77 appearances, four clear of the Kiwi.

His best campaign for the club has been the most recent season. He’s bagged 20 MLS goals in just 29 games, which is the second time he has hit double figures in the competition since he joined the club two summers ago.

The 27-year-old has been in scintillating form for the Coyotes in his two-year spell so far with the club, and is showing no signs of slowing down. As per the official MLS website, he currently leads the race for the Golden Boot by one goal, ahead of the legendary Lionel Messi.

Looking back on this sale, perhaps it is one Forest fans wish the club had never made. If Surridge had stayed at the City Ground, maybe he would have hit this vein of form and been competing with Wood for a starting spot.
