Spurs: Nuno wants to sign Wolves’ Coady

Newly-appointed Tottenham manager Nuno Espirito Santo could be about to raid his former club Wolves this summer…

What’s the word?

According to Football Insider, Spurs are prepared to battle Premier League rivals Everton for the signature of Conor Coady as the Portuguese has made him a ‘priority signing’ following his arrival.

The 28-year-old centre-back was captain under Nuno at Molineux but is currently away on international duty with England at Euro 2020.

It’s thought that the north London outfit are seeking two central defensive signings and Coady has emerged as a firm target for the new manager.

Meanwhile, it is also claimed that Wolves are ready to offload several key players, and the Liverpool-born colossus is one who could garner a huge fee. He’s currently valued at £18m by CIES Football Observatory.

Dier upgrade

Nuno’s interest in Coady should ultimately come as no surprise whatsoever as the former Wolves boss relied upon the England international regularly throughout his time at the club.

Indeed, 191 of his 275 appearances for the Old Gold came under Nuno, with the 47-year-old former goalkeeper transforming his fortunes on the pitch by converting him into a centre-back, having come through the system at Liverpool as a midfielder.

Football Insider also claimed that Nuno regards him as a “lieutenant” and hopes to secure him for a similar role in N17.

Currently, there’s a player already at the club in this sort of mould who bears some very big similarities to the career of Coady, namely Eric Dier, but given that only one of the two was selected by Gareth Southgate this summer, you’d have to consider the Wolves star to be an upgrade.

The 28-year-old has already captained England in two of his five appearances at international level and, as an absolute leader from the back, he is often barking out instructions and orders from the heart of the defence, as seen by his superb mentoring of youngster Ki-Jana Hoever against Manchester United last term.

This ability has been echoed by teammate Ruben Neves, who told reporters in March: “I’ve never played with a player like him. Well, actually, when I played in the Portugal squad when I was young, we had a player like him that was always talking and helping the team. That was Ruben Dias, who is in Manchester City now.

“So, he’s the second centre-half I’ve played with who talks and helps the team that much. Conor always give us the best instructions to do our best on the pitch.”Furthermore, former Liverpool team-mate Adam Morgan once claimed that the Wolves skipper “typifies what a leader should be” and gives you at least “7/10” performances every game.Also dubbed “phenomenal” by The Athletic’s Wolves correspondent Tim Spiers, Coady has regularly displayed his impressive ball-playing ability, averaging a seasonal passing accuracy rate of 84.3% in all three of his Premier League campaigns, in which he’s managed at least 6.4 long balls per game, via WhoScored.By comparison, Dier has failed to surpass 84% in either of his last two top-flight seasons, nor has he exceeded four long balls per league game since 2017/18.It’s clear that Coady could be an instant fit in Nuno’s likely system at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and subsequently he’d be a massive upgrade on the current man to fill that role.Fabio Paratici and Daniel Levy must look to get the Portuguese his man in this window.

West Ham handed Maksimovic boost

A key update has emerged on West Ham target Nikola Maksimovic, regarding where he wants to go this summer.

What’s the talk?

According to The Sunday Mirror (03/07, p77), as transcribed by Hammers News, West Ham transfer target Nikola Maksimovic is eyeing a transfer to the Premier League this summer as he wants to test himself in England. He is currently a free agent after leaving Serie A side Napoli and is available to speak with any interested parties.

The Hammers have been touted with the Serbian defender in recent weeks, with David Moyes eyeing additions to this squad ahead of next season.

He won’t cost a penny

Moyes must sanction a deal to land Maksimovic following this latest update on his future. The defender is seemingly gunning for a switch to England and West Ham, of course, would be able to provide him with that by offering him a contract at the London Stadium.

This news could be a key boost to the club’s chances of being able to bring him in ahead of clubs in leagues outside of England, whether that be remaining in the Serie A or teams in the Bundesliga or La Liga, for example.

His availability on a free transfer could also make it an attractive prospect for the London-based outfit. The Serbian’s contract at Napoli expiring means that West Ham will avoid having to pay a transfer fee for his services and will only need to worry about his wages and signing on fee, which could save them money which can then be used on other areas of the squad.

He also has the quality to potentially thrive at the Premier League level and be an asset for Moyes. Former Torino manager Giampiero Ventura lavished praise on the centre-back earlier this summer, claiming that he is an important player with “great potential” to improve.

He told FCInter1908:

“I really liked Maksimovic, although he needed a bit of time to establish himself.

“He didn’t play for the first four months (after joining from Spartak Moscow) because he needed to adapt to Italian football, but once he was in the team, he never came out again.

“Maksimovic was a very important player for us, a defender with great potential.”

The £36k-per-week powerhouse did not enjoy the best of seasons with Napoli last term, as he was restricted to 12 starts and came off the bench five times. However, in the 2019/20 campaign, he averaged a solid WhoScored rating of 6.79 in 21 starts for the Italian giants and has enjoyed six seasons in the Serie A averaging a score of 6.79 or higher for Napoli and Torino.

This shows that he has the ability to play at the top level and that he could be a beast at the heart of West Ham’s defence.

Filho de presidente do Timão é contratado pelo Corinthians USA

MatériaMais Notícias

O Corinthians contratou o meia Guilherme de Andrade, filho do presidente do Timão, Roberto de Andrade, para esta temporada. O reforço, porém, não atuará no clube de Parque São Jorge, mas sim no “xará” norte-americano, que disputará aNational Premier Soccer League, liga inferior à MLS, divisão de elite do país.

Guilherme tem 26 anos e nunca atuou profissionalmente no Brasil, embora tenha passado pelas categorias de base do Barueri e até do São Paulo. Ele sempre foi orientado por seu pai a priorizar os estudos e conseguiu aliar as duas coisas nos Estados Unidos, onde obteve uma bolsa em uma universidade graças ao futebol, em 2009.

– Foi uma surpresa para mim (saber da contratação). Fiquei feliz com a notícia, pois jogador futebol era um sonho dele. Sempre incentivei o Guilherme a buscar as coisas que lhe faziam bem – disse o presidente corintiano, por meio de assessoria de imprensa.

Entretanto, Guilherme irá conciliar a rotina de jogos com seu outro trabalho, em uma agência de publicidade em Los Angeles.

– Ele está sendo contratado não por marketing ou porque é filho do Roberto, mas porque tem muito talento, vinha como artilheiro em uma liga amadora dos Estados Unidos. O Guilherme foi muito bem indicado a nós – disse Jailton Lopes, diretor internacional doclube norte-americano.

O Corinthians USA, que no último mês realizou pré-temporada em Mogi das Cruzes (sem Andrade), também conta com dois filhos do ex-jogador Marcelinho Carioca: Lucas, meia-atacante de 22 anos, e Matheus, lateral esquerdo de 19 anos.

Apesar do mesmo nome, a equipe dos Estados Unidos não mantém relação com o Corinthians do Brasil desde 2013. Em novembro do ano passado o Timão chegou a emitir uma nota oficial dizendo desconhecer e repudiar veementemente uma seletiva realizada pela equipe norte-americana em São Paulo.

India enmeshed in Kensington jinx

India found themselves immediately enmeshed in Kensington Oval’s age-old jinx on the opening day of the third Test against the West Indies yesterday

Tony Cozier03-May-2002India found themselves immediately enmeshed in Kensington Oval’s age-old jinx on the opening day of the third Test against the West Indies yesterday.On the ground where they have been beaten in six of their seven Tests and never won a match of any kind, they lost a wicket off the first ball of the match after they were sent in, had the trauma of Sachin Tendulkar’s dismissal for his second successive 0 of the series and were all out for 102 in 33.4 overs, broken into three parts by rain interruptions.By the close, called 19.3 overs before schedule as the day’s fourth shower swept in from the east, the West Indies had replied with 33 for the loss of Stuart Williams, whose edged drive off left-armer Zaheer Khan was neatly taken at third slip.With the use of the pitch over the next two days when it is usually at its most favourable for batting, they have a golden opportunity to press for the victory that would even the series, following their loss by 37 runs in the hard-fought second Test last week.Captain Saurav Ganguly was the only exception to India’s pathetic performance against four fast bowlers on a pitch faster and bouncier than those for the drawn first Test in Georgetown and for the second in Port-of-Spain that they won by 37 runs but far from intimidating.The collective malfunction was induced not so much by the conditions or by the bowling, as spirited as it was, but by history.Since their first tour of the Caribbean 49 years ago, Kensington has been to India what Waterloo was to Napoleon. Their key batsmen yesterday – Tendulkar, Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and V.V.S. Laxman – brought unhappy memories of their last Test at the prestigious venue when a seemingly simple winning target of 120 proved beyond them as they folded for 81.As captain, Ganguly spent just over two untroubled hours between the showers setting an example his partners had neither the inclination nor the technique to follow against four fast bowlers who could keep fresh between the weather breaks.He compiled 48 before he was last out to Merv Dillon’s sensational, tumbling catch in front of the disbelieving Three Ws Stand on the boundary’s edge at third man off a raised cut off the energetic Adam Sanford.Yet even he had a hand in the breakdown for he was culpable in the run out of Dravid for 17, just n From Page 47.when the two were easing the shock of Tendulkar’s rare failure.India made only one change to their winning 11 from Port-of-Spain, the slim right-hander Wasim Jaffer brought in for his third Test as the third opening partner for Shiv Sunder Das in the series.But the diminutive Das was the immediate victim, like Tendulkar later, for his second successive duck in the series. Tardy in defence, he was bowled middle-stump by Dillon’s on-target first delivery.It was a start that would have set off alarm bells in an Indian dressing room already suspicious of Kensington’s bogey. The position never got much better.In the seventh over, Jaffer, feet static, edged Dillon for reinstated wicket-keeper Ridley Jacobs, back where he belongs, to snare a sharp catch to his right.Three balls later, the 8 000 or so in the stands reacted as if Owen Arthur had just abolished all taxes as Tendulkar sparred at left-armer Pedro Collins’ second ball, angled across him, and Jacobs jubilantly claimed the deflection.Out fourth ball in his previous innings in the second Test, it was the first time India’s cricketing god had recorded successive 0s in his 94 Tests.Dravid began scratchily with an edge off Dillon that flew through vacant fourth on its way to the third man boundary.But he is India’s most solid batsman, Tendulkar not necessarily excluded, and he and the impressive Ganguly were steadying things when Ganguly pushed Cameron Cuffy to Shivnarine Chanderpaul’s left at cover.He initially summoned his partner for the run but then changed his call. Dravid skidded to a halt, spun around as quickly and nimbly as the quickest ZR but Chanderpaul’s return and Cuffy’s neat, low take before breaking the stumps were too swift.Umpire Billy Doctrove’s verdict on the television replay took ages but was inevitable.Ganguly found himself left with a tailend that begins with the little wicket-keeper Ajay Ratra at No.7 and the four bowlers when Cuffy, operating from the north after his opening burst from the south, produced a sharp breakback in the next over to breach Laxman’s loose drive and hit the off-stump.He was then 19 and was responsible for 29 of the 51 runs added before it was all over.Ratra gained a stay of execution through Hooper’s miss of a low chance at second slip off Cuffy and an hour-long rain stoppage. Ten minutes into the resumption, he predictably edged again and Jacobs gobbled the catch off Dillon.Sanford then restored some of the public’s vanishing faith in West Indian bowlers to bounce out batsmen – even if they were inadequate tailenders.Harbahajan Singh hooked into fine-leg’s lap in a replay of Port-of-Spain and Zaheer Khan stabbed a catch to short-leg as if shaking off a centipede.By this time, Ganguly realised he didn’t have long to do what he had to do and improvised two astonishing shots off successive balls from Dillon.Charging down the pitch, he slapped a four that whizzed to the extra-cover wall in front of the Kensington Stand and then hoisted the fast bowler on top of the Pickwick Pavilion’s roof.They were to be the last flickers of life in the dying innings.Dillon disposed of Srinath, lbw right after the late tea interval, and then hung on to his breathtaking catch off Ganguly to round off quite a day for himself – and for the team.Now it’s up to the batsmen to make the most of the effort.

Careers of Fleming and Miller could be over

The cricket careers of Damien Fleming and Colin Miller could be over after they were today overlooked by Victoria for contracts for next season.

Adam Cooper21-May-2002The cricket careers of Damien Fleming and Colin Miller could be over after they were today overlooked by Victoria for contracts for next season.Fleming and Miller, who both toured England with the Australian Test team last year, were the apparent victims of Victoria’s youth policy under new coach andselector David Hookes.Fleming, 32, was “absolutely stunned” by the decision, which comes just three weeks after he and Miller were axed from the list of Australian CricketBoard-contracted players.”They just didn’t rank me in the top 20 players in Victoria, they didn’t rank me in the top seven in the bowlers and here I was (with) the thought that there was a real role for an experienced bowler in the state,” Fleming told Channel Ten.”They’ve lost Paul Reiffel to retirement and my performances were pretty good last year.”I had a pretty good Ashes series with Australia less than this time last year, so I was looking forward to a big season so yeah, (I’m) absolutely stunned.”Miller, 38, the Australian Test cricketer of the year 15 months ago, could not be contacted.The snub comes two months after the Bushrangers wound up their disappointing summer, in which they finished second-last in both the Pura Cup and limited-overs ING Cup competitions.While Victorian officials are reluctant to confirm the Bushrangers are pursuing a youth policy, Hookes stood by the selectors’ call.”At the end of the day we made the call, we thought that there were players better than them qualified to play for Victoria at the beginning of the next season and that’s the way that we went,” he told Channel Ten.Hookes said overlooking the pair was a difficult decision, but would not explain the reasons behind their omissions.”Age had no factor at all in either of their considerations of both the blokes,” he said.”They are two quality players, they have been very good servants of domestic cricket in this country and indeed for Australia, even though Colin started very late.”He was a teammate of mine in South Australia for a number of years so that made it very difficult, and Damien Fleming being the type of personality that he is also made it very difficult.”Hookes said Victoria was not in a position to poach players from interstate under salary cap restrictions.Only Shane Warne and Ian Harvey have ACB contracts, meaning Victoria has to pay all but two of its squad.Fleming and Miller have played 20 and 18 Tests respectively, with almost 150 wickets between them, but injury and poor form last summer meant they couldn’tbreak back into the Australian side.Fleming took 13 wickets from five Pura Cup matches in 2001-02 at 30.07 runs apiece, while Miller snared just six wickets at 72.50 from six matches.Victorian Cricket Association chief executive officer Ken Jacobs said he, Hookes and selectors Ray Bright and Mick O’Sullivan met with Miller and Fleming today.Jacobs also refused to divulge exactly why the pair was overlooked.The selectors also cut four players from the 2001-02 contract list: batsmen Shawn Craig and Peter Harper, off-spinner John Davison and wicketkeeper PeterRoach.
