Aston Villa have had “conversations” over signing Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma in this January transfer window.

What’s the story?

Reports in recent days have claimed that the West Midlands club are very much interested in the Seagulls ace, and that a deal could well be done if the Premier League side table a sizeable bid.

And now, journalist Ryan Taylor has delivered an update on the situation, revealing to GIVEMESPORT that Villa have made an approach to their top-flight counterparts.

He said: “I know they’ve had conversations with Brighton. But the message being relayed by Brighton over Bissouma is just: ‘No, we don’t want to get rid of him.”

Upgrade on Douglas Luiz

Amid speculation that Douglas Luiz is attracting interest from Arsenal, and confirmation from Villa boss Steven Gerrard that the club have yet to enter into contract talks with the Brazilian, Bissouma’s arrival would represent a significant upgrade.

As per Whoscored, the Mali international averages a whopping 3.6 tackles per game in the Premier League this season, while he also makes 1.9 interceptions too – compare that to those in the Villa squad, and he’s simply far better, with absolutely no-one matching him in either category.

In fact, he’s among the top-flight’s best, with only Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi able to match his tackles per match, while he ranks inside the top ten for interceptions.

It’s a move that has previously been backed by former Villa man Lee Hendrie, who said: “I did a chat with myself and Paul Merson on Soccer Saturday a few weeks ago talking about Bissouma, and we highlighted what he actually does. I mean, his stats are absolutely phenomenal, the way he breaks the game up, his forward play.

“He’s got a good football brain. Like I said, when you’ve got someone who breaks the game up so well and can go join in and play, I’m inviting players like that to the football club.”

The £25k-a-week earning star would be a superb signing for Villa.

Meanwhile, Gregg Evans has dropped an exciting Villa transfer update…

Nuwan Kulasekara found the perfect lines and lengths for the slow and low track that the USA has dished out, and ripped the heart out of New Zealand’s batting

How they were outNuwan Kulasekara troubled the New Zealand top order with three wickets in his first over•Associated Press

Nuwan Kulasekara found the perfect lines and lengths for the slow and low track that the USA has dished out, and ripped the heart out of New Zealand’s batting with three wickets in his first over. Although Daniel Vettori and Nathan McCullum, the only New Zealanders to reach double figures, avoided the ignominy of the lowest total in Twenty20 internationals, 81 was never going to test Sri Lanka even on this pitch.The win was set up by Kulasekara’s first two overs, three wickets in the first and no runs in the second. He made the necessary adjustments from the first match: everything was stump to stump, slightly short of a length, and offcutters were bowled aplenty. That the innings started with Kumar Sangakkara standing up to the stumps, with no slip in sight, said a lot about the pitch. It didn’t help New Zealand that their top-order batsmen were looking to play around their front pad, and the bowlers were hardly missing. There was no bounce in the pitch to take anything over the stumps either.Aaron Redmond and Rob Nicol both fell to ones that Kulasekara got to jag in sharply. Brendon McCullum got a beauty in between those dismissals, this one holding its line. Ross Taylor, in the next over, played across the line to Angelo Mathews and paid the price. Gareth Hopkins, in to replace the injured Martin Guptill, went for an ill-advised single, and many dubious records were in sight.Crisis man Vettori, though, found support from the older McCullum, and the two batted sensibly to add 45 for the sixth wicket. Neither of them looked to play across the line, both waited for the loose deliveries, which were rare. One of them was a full delivery from Mathews in the seventh over, which McCullum punched down the ground for the first boundary of the innings. Vettori hit two more boundaries, both cleverly played reverse-sweeps against Sanath Jayasuriya.The partnership came to an end when Vettori swept at Ajantha Mendis, and the fielding side and the umpire took the noise emanating for an edge. Vettori, though, demonstrated the exact spot on the pitch his bat had hit, which created the incriminating sound.When McCullum square-cut Thissara Perera through the fingers of Tillakaratne Dilshan in the 16th over, the only other boundary of the piece, the score moved to 76, two more than the lowest total by a major team. Even though McCullum kept New Zealand fighting, the lower order found full and straight bowling from Lasith Malinga too much, securing New Zealand’s smallest total in the format.In the chase, Sri Lanka were hardly under any pressure, especially after Mahela Jayawardene got them going with a 12-ball 17. During his stay in the middle, batting looked at its easiest on this pitch not conducive to attractive cricket. Perera was sent in at the first drop, and he did his job by hitting two fours and a six in his 25 even as Dilshan struggled for timing. Those two cameos were enough, though, to set the chase up, and Dilshan saw them through.

According to Roshane Thomas of The Athletic, West Ham have opened negotiations with Tomas Soucek over a new four-year contract.

The Lowdown: Soucek impressing at West Ham

The Czech Republic international arrived at West Ham in January 2020, joining on loan from Slavia Prague.

The initial £4m loan fee looked like an absolute bargain as he continued to impress for the Hammers. As a result, the Irons enacted the option to make the deal permanent with a £15m fee, and the midfielder signed a contract until the summer of 2024.

Soucek has played an integral part in David Moyes’ side since his arrival in east London, illustrated by being voted by Hammers fans as the club’s player of the year last season.

The Latest: Soucek contract negotiations

Thomas reported for The Athletic that West Ham have opened negotiations with the 26-year-old over a new deal, posting a link to the article via Twitter with the accompanying text of: “EXCL: Tomas Soucek in talks with West Ham over new four-year contract.”

Soucek is entering into the final two years of his current contract, and the club are eager to tie him down for his prime years with another long-term deal.

The Verdict: Get it done

Despite a dip in form this season, having supplied just one assist in the Premier League, West Ham fans will surely be delighted to see Soucek remain at the club for years to come, if he can agree to a contract extension.

West Ham vice-captain Declan Rice has sung his team-mate’s praises, proclaiming him as an “unbelievable” player, while former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær last year described Soucek as ‘a goal threat’ and ‘a physical threat’ who a ‘good player’ for Moyes’ ‘strong squad’.

With a current market valuation of £40.5m, it is imperative that the club are able to tie Soucek down for the long-term, especially with the heavy interest sniffing around midfield partner Rice during January.

هاجم أسطورة منتخب الكاميرون، صامويل إيتو، زميله السابق في برشلونة، تييري هنري، في فيديو مسرب خلال الساعات القليلة الماضية وأكد أنه لم يكن ليصل إلى مستواه الفني.

لعب إيتو وهنري في برشلونة لمدة عامين في الفترة من 2007 إلى 2009 وتوج الثنائي بالثلاثية في أول موسم للمدرب بيب جوارديولا، في 2008/2009 قبل رحيل إيتو إلى إنتر ميلان في الدوري الإيطالي.

وتحدث إيتو في الفيديو المسرب والذي نقلته صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو” الكتالونية، وقال: “أعتقد أن هنري لم يكن في مستوى نيكولاس أنيلكا”.

وتابع: “كان تييري لاعب جيد، لكنني كنت أجيد تقييم اللاعبين، أحب رؤية اللاعبين الآخرين، على أي حال، لم يكن في مستواي، وللحظ أو لسوء الحظ لم ألعب لمنتخب فرنسا مثله”.

وأضاف: “أولئك اللاعبين الذين لعبوا في منتخب فرنسا تكون لديهم نسبة تزيد عن 70% للفوز بالبطولات الكبرى، ليس لأنهم أقوياء ولكن لأن فرنسا تسوقهم بطريقة أفضل، وبالتالي، فهم يرفعونهم إلى مستوانا”.

وواصل تصريحاته: “عند وصول هنري إلى برشلونة، أراد بعض الصحفيين خلق حالة من التوتر بيني وبينه، لكني كنت أضحك لأنني كنت أتواصل معه على الهاتف طوال الوقت، إذا جاء إلى برشلونة، هناك من اعتقد أنه سيضعني على مقاعد البدلاء، لكنني كنت أقول أنه يمكننا اللعب سويًا”.

وأتم: “لا أدخل في أي جدال، وددت من المدرب أن يوقع مع هنري لأنه صديقي، لم يكن لدي أي مشكلة لكن تلك الصفقة ترجع إلى فرانك ريكارد (مدرب برشلونة في ذلك الوقت) وشخصيته وأسلوبه الذي كان يدير به الفريق”.

Dorival Júnior já avisou que prepara dois times diferentes para o começo do Campeonato Paulista, e o fato está longe de ser somente um discurso. O São Paulo terá até treino em dois turnos em dia com partida do clube no Estadual, dando atividade à equipe que não for entrar em campo.

No sábado, o time fará seu primeiro jogo no Morumbi, às 19h, contra o Novorizontino. Antes, às 9h e às 15h30, no CT da Barra Funda, segundo programação divulgada pelo clube, os jogadores que não estiverem relacionados terão atividade em dois turnos, com trabalho programado também para a manhã do dia seguinte.

Na quarta-feira, dia da estreia oficial do Tricolor em 2018, contra o São Bento, em Sorocaba, às 19h30, Dorival mandará a campo um time cheio de reservas. Com isso, os principais jogadores, que devem ser poupados da partida, terão treinamento no mesmo dia, às 9h, no CT da Barra Funda.

O planejamento incomum foi traçado pela comissão técnica na reta final do Campeonato Brasileiro de 2017. A explicação é a curtíssima pré-temporada, com a primeira partida no Paulista ocorrendo apenas 14 dias após a reapresentação do elenco depois das férias. Já estava previsto que jogadores recém-promovidos das categorias de base ganhariam a chance.

Ajudou nessa programação a mudança no regulamento do Estadual, que prevê uma lista de inscrição com 26 jogadores e outra, chamada de lista B, sem limitações de número de inscritos e na qual podem ser registrados atletas da base do clube que tenham entre 16 e 21 anos e 12 meses de registro profissional. A novidade amplia as opções de Dorival.

Por isso, por exemplo, não houve pressa da diretoria para conseguir a documentação de Jucilei que homologa a sua liberação em definitivo do Shandong Luneng, da China. Já se sabia que ele não seria utilizado na primeira rodada do Paulista. Assim como é certo que serão desfalques os recém-contratados Diego Souza e Anderson Martins e o meia Cueva, que voltou das férias com seis dias de atraso.

A expectativa é de que Dorival tenha força máxima para o primeiro clássico na temporada, contra o Corinthians, no dia 27, no Pacaembu, pelo Campeonato Paulista. Quatro dias depois, a mesma equipe deve entrar em campo contra o Madureira, em jogo único, fora de casa, que define a sequência da equipe logo na primeira fase da Copa do Brasil – o São Paulo joga pelo empate para avançar.

The Plays of the Day from the third day at Old Trafford

Andrew McGlashan at Old Trafford06-Jun-2010

Decision of the dayIt was by no means a given that Andrew Strauss would enforce the follow-on when England ended Bangladesh’s first innings on the second evening. However, the damp Manchester morning that greeted the team on Sunday did Strauss a massive favour. If he was pondering extending the lead and letting the pitch wear, overcast skies meant it was a no-brainer to stick Bangladesh back in – 34.1 overs later the match was over and England had earned themselves two days off.Failure of the dayThe stuffing was knocked out of Bangladesh’s effort with just the second ball when their swashbuckling hero, Tamim Iqbal, fended at a rising delivery from James Anderson and feathered an edge to Matt Prior. The visitors have ridden on Tamim’s outstanding form during this tour, a continuation of what he showed in Bangladesh earlier this year, but he was due a failure after six fifties in seven innings. His success has clearly rattled England and Anderson’s pumped-up celebration when he claimed the scalp showed how vital they knew the wicket was. And that is the biggest compliment Tamim can be paid.Action replay of the dayWith Tamim gone early England sensed blood with Anderson hooping the ball away from the Stretford End and Steven Finn steaming in from the Brian Statham End. Finn was gaining considerable bounce off a length and had Imrul Kayes in an almighty tangle with a bouncer that the left-hander fended off his gloves. His demise didn’t feel far away and he soon top-edged his second hook of the match to find the man at deep square-leg, giving an identical entry in the scorebook to yesterday: c Shahzad b Finn. Meanwhile, England will feel their plans have worked with Kayes falling to the short ball – and Finn – in all four innings.Pain of the dayMushfiqur Rahim is a gutsy cricketer and a mighty fine batsman who, in the long term, may be better suited to shelving the keeping gloves and being in the top five. When he walked to the crease his team was in tatters at 37 for 5 but he still tried to battle it out in stronger fashion than some of his top-order team-mates. During a testing spell from Ajmal Shahzad, Rahim took a nasty blow on the bottom hand as some extra bounce caught his glove and left him in considerable discomfort.After some treatment from the physio he fought on, but grimaced more than once and the pain probably played a part in his limp chip to midwicket. Finn claimed the wicket, but Shahzad’s role was key.Sub of the dayWhen England play Test matches at home they rely on the local county to supply the substitute fielders so that squad players can return to their domestic teams. It means the opportunity for someone to grab a moment in the spotlight. Occasionally they play a vital role in victory, as when Paul Weekes took two sharp chances at short leg against West Indies, at Lord’s, in 1995. This time, the catch struck the way of Karl Brown, the Lancashire batsman, at midwicket was a simple affair but it will have given him great joy to cling on and savour helping England take a wicket.

Com estreia apagada no Campeonato Mineiro, o Galo empatou com o Boa Esporte, em Varginha. Com as melhores chances de gol, o time alternativo do Atlético-MG não saiu do 0 a 0 com a equipe da casa. Ao final da partida,além de Oswaldo, Alexandre Gallo falou com a imprensa. O diretor de futebol alvinegro reiterou que o clube ainda busca a contratação de um armador.

– (O torcedor) pode esperar (a contratação de um camisa 10). Pode esperar com certeza. A gente não tem o grupo fechado, estamos sempre querendo reforçar e trazer melhores condições para que o clube faça um grande ano – enfatizou o dirigente.

Gallo também comentou sobre a partida de estreia do estadual. Para o diretor,
não foi um jogo ruim, mas o time sofreu com a forte marcação adversária.

– É natural, todo mundo vindo de pré-temporada, uma pré-temporada encurtada. As chances maiores foram nossas, mas era um jogo que poderíamos ter vencido com tranquilidade. O jogo se tornou difícil até pela postura do Boa, que jogou inteiro no campo defensivo, o que dificultou muito a nossa penetração – alegou Gallo.

O próximo confronto do Atlético-MG na competição é contra o Democrata, de Governador Valadares. O jogo está marcado para domingo, no Independência, às 17h. O técnico Oswaldo de Oliveira deve escalar os principais jogadores do elenco para a partida da segunda rodada do Campeonato Mineiro.
