Nottingham Forest have triggered the release clause of a new exciting forward for Nuno Espírito Santo as they look to continue their strong Premier League campaign, according to an astonishing new report.

Can Forest lift the Premier League title?

After holding current Premier League leaders Liverpool to a 1-1 draw at the City Ground in midweek, Forest followed that result up with a 3-2 win over Southampton to maintain their strong form in England’s top tier.

Having narrowly avoided relegation last season, the Garibaldi now sit just six points off the top of the Premier League (albeit having played a game more than Liverpool) and are six points clear of Manchester City in fourth.

The form of Chris Wood has spearheaded their charge up the table, with the New Zealand international scoring his 14th goal of the season against the Saints to help them to their seventh win in their last eight games, form that has them in the mix for a shock Premier League title charge.

Speaking after the game, Elliot Anderson admitted that the City Ground side were just as concerned about the sides below them though, as they look to at least cement a spot in Europe for next season.

“We started really bright but made it hard for ourselves in the second half. Ultimately we got the three points and I’m really happy,” he explained.

“The manager said it’s always hard when you’ve got something to lose. We needed those three points because there are teams creeping up behind us.”

The club are expected to be active in January, with reports linking forward Taiwo Awoniyi with a move away from the City Ground and the club having already made clear their desire for a new striker last summer.

Now, a shock report has tipped Forest to splash the cash this winter in a bid to cement their newfound place among the Premier League elite.

Forest "trigger" £50m release clause

That is according to a report in Spain, which has claimed that Forest are one of three sides who have triggered the €60m (£50.7m) release clause in Villarreal star Alex Baena’s contract ahead of the second half of the January transfer window.

The Spaniard has long been linked with a move away from the Yellow Submarine, having cemented his reputation as one of the best creators in LaLiga. He is enjoying another fine season in Spain’s top flight, with the 23-year-old having managed four goals and five assists in 17 outings, while the “sublime playmaker” leads the division for expected assists, chances created and shot creating actions.

As per the report, all of Forest, Newcastle United and Bayern Munich have activated the player’s release clause this month in a bid to secure his services in the coming weeks, while Forest have “decided to go all out” on the Spaniard to try and complete the deal.

In truth, the report feels at the very least premature, with Forest and Newcastle in particular both under financial fair play scrutiny and unlikely to invest so heavily in one player this month, while a trio of clubs activating his release clause also seems far-fetched.

However, if Forest are indeed keen on signing Baena, then they will be getting one of the best creative forces in Europe as they look to make history this season.

شدد سمير السليمي، نجم الكرة التونسية السابق، على أن نادي الترجي يجب أن يتعامل بعقلانية في تدعيم صفوفه استعدادًا لكأس العالم للأندية والموسم الجديد، مؤكدًا أنه لا مجال لمقارنة الأوضاع المالية للفريق التونسي بالنادي الأهلي المصري.

وقال السليمي في تصريحات عبر إذاعة “ifm” التونسية: “الترجي عليه تدعيم الفريق، لكن بالعقل والتريث ودراية كاملة بوضع النادي، كأس العالم للأندية بطولة هامة، والفريق أمامه منافسة محلية وقارية في الموسم القادم، والإدارة عندها من الرصانة والخبرة للتعامل مع هذه الأمور”.

وأضاف: “ولكن لا تقارنوا أنفسكم بالنادي الأهلي المصري، الأهلي شيء آخر، يدفع 2 و3 مليون دولار في الموسم ولا يقلق، يعطي المدير الفني 250 ألف دولار شهريًا ولا يقلقه ذلك، عكس الترجي، الوضع المالي الحالي لنادي الترجي والأندية التونسية، لا تقارن بالأندية المصرية”.

وتابع السليمي حديثه موضحًا: “يجب مراعاة الوضعية المالية للأندية التونسية، الترجي عنده إمكانيات مالية لكن لا تُقارن بالأهلي، ولا يجب هذه المقارنة، الأهلي تعاقد مع محمد بن رمضان، لماذا لم يتعاقد معه الترجي؟ لأن الصفقة بلغت 2.5 مليون يورو، هل الترجي قادر على دفع هذا المبلغ؟”.

وأكمل: “لا يجب إلقاء اللوم على الترجي ولا على محمد بن رمضان، الفوارق المالية كبيرة، الوداد المغربي وضعيته المالية الأقرب للترجي التونسي، والمقارنة الأصعب مع صن داونز الجنوب إفريقي الذين يقومون بانتدابات فلكية”.

واختتم السليمي تصريحاته بالتأكيد على أهمية دعم الفريق بشكل مدروس: “لا بد من تريث وتعقل في انتدابات الترجي، ضروري تدعيم خط الدفاع، ولاعب أو إثنين في وسط الملعب، وربما على مستوى خط الهجوم، لا بد أن يتم تدعيم الفريق لكأس العالم وتستمر هذه التدعيمات للمنافسات الإفريقية والمحلية المُقبلة”.

Sune Luus will lead a group that includes one new cap in batting allrounder Delmi Tucker

Firdose Moonda23-May-2022

South Africa will be without Marizanne Kapp, Lizelle Lee, Mignon du Preez, Sinalo Jafta and Masabata Klaas during their white-ball tour of Ireland next month.Kapp, Lee and Jafta are all recovering from illnesses, Klaas is out with a shoulder injury, and du Preez, who retired from ODIs but remains available in the shortest format, has been left out of the squad scheduled play three T20Is and three ODIs in Dublin. Regular captain Dane van Niekerk is also not in the touring party as she continues to recover from the ankle injury that ruled her out of the World Cup.That means van Niekerk’s participation in the England tour that follows, which includes a one-off Test, three ODIs, three T20Is and the Commonwealth Games, is in doubt. The final squad for those matches will be announced in the first week of June, which gives van Niekerk little over a week to make the cut. She returned to training earlier this month and is currently still on an individual program, and not training with the rest of the group. The South African squad that travels to Ireland will remain in the UK, with any personnel changes for the England series and Commonwealth Games to travel in or out as needed.For the Ireland matches, Sune Luus will lead a group that includes one new cap, batting allrounder Delmi Tucker, who has recently played for the South African Emerging side against Zimbabwe and Thailand. Tucker also had a successful domestic season for Western Province, where she scored 409 runs white ball cricket and took 15 wickets with her right-arm off-spin. “Delmi Tucker has been rewarded off the back of a very successful domestic season and has really made positive strides with significant contributions, and we are looking forward to seeing her transition into the international arena,” Clinton du Preez, South Africa’s selection convener, said.The rest of the squad includes the familiar faces of Shabnim Ismail, Laura Wolvaardt, Chloe Tryon and Ayabonga Khaka as well as all three reserves who traveled to the World Cup – Raisibe Ntozakhe, Nadine de Klerk and Andrie Steyn. Anneke Bosch, who missed the World Cup with a fractured thumb, also returns.While the T20Is are part of South Africa’s preparation for the Commonwealth Games and next year’s T20 World Cup, the ODIs are part of the 2022 to 2025 Women’s Championship, which will determine qualification for the 2025 World Cup.”When we are looking at the T20Is, there is a bigger picture when it comes to that. It is a new beginning for us this year, building up towards the T20 World Cup and the Commonwealth Games,” Hilton Moreeng, South Africa’s coach, said. “The senior players know what is at stake. The ODIs are the ICC Women’s Championship qualifications for the next 50-over World Cup, so there is a lot at stake in the sense that we are also looking to grow our base.”Squad: Anneke Bosch, Tazmin Brits, Trisha Chetty, Nadine de Klerk, Lara Goodall, Shabnim Ismail, Ayabonga Khaka, Sune Luus (capt), Nonkululeko Mlaba, Raisibe Ntozakhe, Tumi Sekhukhune, Andrie Steyn, Chloe Tryon, Delmi Tucker, Laura Wolvaardt

A “sensational” Arsenal player close adviser is apparently pushing for him to leave the club in January, with the winter transfer window soon upon us, as reports begin to heat up surrounding both potential incomings and outgoings at the Emirates.

Players who are most likely to leave Arsenal in January

Despite Mikel Arterta being forced to deal with a host of injury problems so far this campaign, which has already threatened to extinguish their bid to win a first Premier League title in 21 years, there are suggestions that first-team squad members could depart north London as early as next month.

Left-back Kieran Tierney, after recovering from a hamstring injury which kept him sidelined since Euro 2024, has been re-introduced to the first-team squad by Arteta – with the Spaniard confirming that he could hand the former Celtic star for his first senior appearance since the 2023 Community Shield final.

“He is ready, he’s training really well and he’s going to have an opportunity for sure,” said Arteta on playing Tierney.

“The way the team is looking at the moment, he is going to do that for that reason and because he’s earned it. The way he’s behaved, the way he’s been with us because he’s willing to do it and when that happens, you have to give those opportunities to players.”

Tierney has been an unused substitute in all of Arsenal’s last five games in all competitions, first making his way back on to the bench for their 5-1 win away to Sporting Lisbon at the end of last month, but this certainly isn’t an indication he won’t be going anywhere in January.

Reliable journalist Charles Watts stated that Tierney is likely to leave Arsenal when the window reopens, and the plan was always to ease him back into the first team in a bid to attract potential suitors.

“He has been included in Arsenal’s Premier League squad for the season so he could play once fit, but I struggle to really see that happening,” said Watts, who also claimed Tierney is not in Arteta’s long-term plans.

“He will hope to get a move in January, probably on loan.”

Meanwhile, despite starting in each of the club’s last three games in all competitions, Poland international Jakub Kiwior continues to be heavily linked with a move back to Italy.

Jakub Kiwior's agent pushing for him to leave Arsenal in January

The 24-year-old has done well to fill in for the injured Gabriel Magalhaes lately, helping to shut out both Man United and AS Monaco alongside William Saliba, but there is a belief among the Italian press that Arsenal are prepared to sell Kiwior outright next month – amid interest from Napoli.

Now, newspaper Il Mattino (via Gooner Talk) has provided another update, and they write that Kiwior’s agent is pushing for him to leave Arsenal in January – with the player’s representative eager to secure a move away for the defender.

Once Riccardo Calafiori and Oleksandr Zinchenko return to the fold, you can make a case that the former Spezia starlet will once again be confined to Arteta’s bench for the foreseeable, so you can see why those close to Kiwior are in favour of him quitting N5.

However, from Arsenal’s perspective, it would be very risky to let the “sensational talent” leave when injuries have been such a reoccurring theme of their campaign.

Manchester United loanee Antony continued his fine form for Real Betis as he registered an assist in a dramatic comeback win over Leganes.

Antony shines in La Liga once againMan Utd loanee in top form at Real BetisSet up winning goal at LeganesFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

Antony's career seemed to be headed for the dumps at Manchester United as the Brazilian winger struggled under both Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim. However, the 25-year-old has struck gold with his performances at Real Betis under Manuel Pellegrini since his loan move to the La Liga side in January. Antony has grabbed nine goal contributions in just 11 matches with Betis, more than he managed since the start of the 2023-24 season at United.

AdvertisementTHE BIGGER PICTURE

Antony grabbed yet another assist for Real Betis on Sunday afternoon against Leganes as he helped Pellegrini's side overturn a two-goal deficit into a 3-2 win away from home. Los Verdiblancos grabbed the winner after Antony went on a lung-busting run on the counter after Leganes took a poor corner. The Brazilian then found Cucho Hernandez inside the box with a delightful ball, and the Colombian striker finished past Marko Dmitrovic, who stood no chance.

Getty ImagesDID YOU KNOW?

Antony's newfound form has been a surprise to Manchester United fans, however, the Brazilian winger has now claimed that the reason behind his turnaround is the sunny climate in Seville.

Antony told the media: “The sun helps me a lot. The city is better. I'm very happy here, as I said. Every day, I wake up smiling, and I'm going to sleep smiling. That's the most important thing for me.”

WHAT NEXT FOR ANTONY?

The Brazilian is completely focused on completing the season with Real Betis and is not thinking about his future at the moment. However, it is likely that Antony will leave Manchester United in the summer, and Betis have expressed interest in a permanent transfer.

Aston Villa are now without a win in their last eight games in all competitions after Unai Emery’s men fell to a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League.

Enzo Maresca’s men confidently brushed the beleaguered Villans aside come full-time, with Cole Palmer’s late goal making sure of the three points in a contest that felt like it was going to be a victory for the hosts from the minute Nicolas Jackson netted early on.

Emery will want plenty more from his low-on-confidence group as the fixtures come thick and fast in December, as a number of his usual key performers let themselves down at Stamford Bridge.

Aston Villa's main Villa underperformers vs Chelsea

In truth, this isn’t a drop in performance that’s come as a bolt from the blue, with Villa way off the pace throughout November in a number of tough clashes, which included another sobering trip to London in a 4-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

But, that doesn’t make the displays of certain individuals any less worrying to view, with centre-back Pau Torres notably struggling to keep up with the likes of Jackson and Palmer up top for the buoyed-on hosts.

The below-par Villa number 14 didn’t get tight enough to Jackson when he tapped home after seven minutes, with the Spaniard also only winning one tackle in a passive showing at the back.

In attack, it was also a pedestrian display from Emery’s men, with Jaden Philogene-Bidace only registering five accurate passes all game down the right wing and being bullied by Marc Cucurella for the opener.

Meanwhile, the usually electric Morgan Rogers failed to test Blues shot-stopper Robert Sanchez with a single meaningful effort on his goal.

But, it was the underwhelming display of Ollie Watkins leading the line that would have arguably angered the Villa away masses the most, as the once potent attacker continues to fire blanks.

Chalkboard

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

Ollie Watkins' performance in numbers

The ex-Brentford star has now only scored one strike for Villa across their last eight clashes in all competitions off the back of another uninspiring showing at Stamford Bridge.

He had a golden opportunity just after Jackson’s opener to gift the visitors a way back into the contest, however, only for his effort to be tame and straight at Sanchez as his goalscoring woes unfortunately persisted.

Also failing to find the back of the net in the first half after a lapse in concentration by Enzo Fernandez, Watkins endured a frustrating afternoon at the hands of the Blues, with only 20 touches coming his way alongside just eight accurate passes being registered.

The 28-year-old faded in and out of the 3-0 loss, much like his other attacking teammates in the form of Rogers and Co, leading to Birmingham Live journalist John Townley dishing out a low 5/10 rating to Watkins post-match.

The England international’s wastefulness in front of goal will be annoying Emery watching on who could now be tempted to switch up his attacking personnel for Villa’s next league clash versus Brentford this coming Wednesday night, with Jhon Duran in the frame for a potential rare start instead.

That would be the Colombian’s first start of the season in the Premier League, and a deserved one at that if his teammate continues to misfire after a blistering start to the campaign.

Emery will just pray his side’s poor form comes to an end soon, with the Midlands side sinking all the way down to 12th in the top-flight standings after a torrid outing to Chelsea.

James Neesham contemplated retirement in 2017. He didn’t. Daryl Mitchell never contemplated opening the batting. He did. And together they dragged a New Zealand side adamantly trying to lose all the way to a T20 World Cup final.It was utter madness. And it came from outta nowhere. England, much like they did five years ago on a sparkling night in Kolkata, had the game in their hands. And not one but two big-hitting allrounders took it away from them.

Sign up for ESPN+ and catch all the action from the Men’s T20 World Cup live in the USA. Match highlights of the first semi-final is available in English, and in Hindi (USA only).

The equation was 57 off 24. More than two runs a ball. As much as conditions in this tournament have favoured the team batting second, here there was no dew. The single biggest thing that made run-scoring easy on these dry UAE pitches was nowhere to be found.That’s why Mitchell – the best T20 six-hitter in New Zealand’s domestic circuit for the last five years – could find only one boundary in the first 10 overs of a 167 chase.That’s why Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson were dismissed for single-digits.That’s why Liam Livingstone could bowl four overs of his part-time all-sorts for just 22 runs. When he finished his spell – after taking out New Zealand’s then top-scorer Devon Conway for 46 – England’s chance of victory according to ESPNcricinfo’s forecaster was nudging 80%.Neesham has had enough of these games. His Twitter timeline is a tribute to his wit – yes – but also to how badly that 2019 World Cup final broke him. He was out there in the Super Over. He hit Jofra Archer for a six. He ignited New Zealand’s hopes when they really shouldn’t have had any on that night only for them to fall so agonisingly short.Just as Neesham and everyone watching were reeling from the deja vu, Chris Jordan came up to bowl and leaked a monster six over square leg. That shot became the centerpiece of New Zealand’s breathtaking resurrection, 23 runs coming off an eight-ball 17th over – including a relay catch that quickly morphed into another monster six – as one of England’s go-to men just crumbled under pressure.Suddenly New Zealand only needed 34 off 18 balls. And it was Mitchell’s cue to wind up. He set up deep in his crease. His front leg had the good sense to keep away. Chris Woakes missed his lengths. And three brutal hits in the 19th over – two over the ropes and one onto it – brought sweet, unbelievable and everlasting victory.England change it up
This semi-final had all the feels of two heavyweight boxers sizing each other up. But there was no real KO punch.Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow were rather cautious at the top, their gameplan dictated in equal parts by the early swing on offer and the big occasion they found themselves in.England went away from their typical T20 template – attack every ball – to a more nuanced one – respect every ball. For the first time since 2014, they had to wait till the 15th over of the game to pick up their first six.Malan and Moeen adapt
England’s approach protected them from early wickets, but that left a lot on the middle-order’s shoulders. A middle order that hasn’t had too much time in the middle at this tournament.But Dawid Malan controlled things beautifully. If you’re in any doubt about that, pull up clips of his cover drives. With flowing hands and sublime timing, he pushed England forward and was unlucky to miss out on a half-century.Moeen Ali didn’t make that mistake. Playing the world’s most elegant slogs, his 51* off 37 provided the finishing kick that took a good total to a defendable one. With most of England’s batting tonight revolving around left-handed blades, New Zealand’s best spinner Mitchell Santner bowled only one of his four overs.No dew
Guptill was caught off a flick. Williamson was caught off a scoop. Now those shots come off when there’s pace in the pitch. And there’s always pace in the pitch if there’s dew around. New Zealand expected it to come. But it stood them up instead.Woakes – who before this World Cup was left in T20I wilderness for five-and-a-half years – picked up both those wickets and set England on their victory march. This team prides itself in being on cutting edge pf both batting and bowling. But in Abu Dhabi – where cricket takes a time machine back to the 90s – they realised knocking it around for 160 and building on scoreboard pressure with tight Test-match lengths had the better chance of success.And all of that would worked a treat if a big-hitting allrounder hadn’t decided to turn everything on its head. Again.

  Guardiola made eight alterations to the side that suffered a 5-1 defeat to Arsenal last weekend, prioritizing squad rotation to keep key players fresh. Ruben Dias returned to the lineup, having been substituted at half-time during the clash against Paris Saint-Germain last month. Meanwhile, Jack Grealish and Ilkay Gundogan were handed starting roles, offering valuable experience to a heavily rotated squad.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  While some senior figures were given playing time, Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, John Stones, and Bernardo Silva started on the bench. Haaland, meanwhile, was not included in the squad at all, a decision that undoubtedly disappointed Leyton Orient fans hoping to see the prolific forward in action. The Norwegian has already accumulated 2,899 minutes across 33 appearances this season, and Guardiola seized the opportunity to provide his goal-scoring talisman with a rare day off.

• WHAT MAN CITY SAID

  The club confirmed on their website: "Erling Haaland gets a welcome rest day – no doubt much to the disappointment of the Orient fans."

  Without their leading striker, City struggled in attack, and their troubles worsened early on when Tottenham Hotspur loanee Jamie Donley stunned them with a spectacular long-range goal in the 16th minute. City found an equalizer but with a stroke of fortune rather than dominance when the ball took a massive deflection of Abdukodi Khusanov to bring the visitors level.

  With the match still hanging in the balance heading into the final 20 minutes, Guardiola turned to his bench for reinforcements, bringing on De Bruyne and Phil Foden to provide the necessary creative spark. Their introduction helped tilt the momentum in City’s favour as the Belgian playmaker put his team his front with the daftest of touches after latching on to a cross from Grealish.
