Paulinho não deve permanecer no Corinthians, que já busca no mercado um jogador para substituí-lo. O contrato do camisa 8 com o Timão se encerrará no fim de junho. O clube alvinegro chegou a conversar por uma renovação até o fim da temporada, mas o atleta deseja uma extensão até o final de 2025, o que não interessa à direção corintiana.

O time do Parque São Jorge busca um volante desde a chegada do técnico António Oliveira, em fevereiro. A ideia do treinador português é a contratação de um jogador que se destaque fisicamente e seja capaz de ser tanto primeiro, quanto segundo homem de meio-campo, também se aproximando da área.

O intuito do comandante era explorar Maycon na função, mas o atleta rompeu o ligamento cruzado anterior do joelho direito em abril e vai desfalcar o Corinthians por, pelo menos, mais seis meses.

Breno Bidon tem ganhado espaço, mas ainda é visto como um atleta promissor e que precisa de um companheiro de posição mais experiente para dividir a responsabilidade.

Em abril, Paulinho voltou a jogar após quase um ano parado, em razão de uma lesão no joelho esquerdo, e surpreendeu positivamente a comissão técnica nos primeiros jogos. Porém, a avaliação física compromete o intuito de António Oliveira e a sua equipe na ideia de jogo para a função.

Ainda assim, existiu o interesse corintiano em renovar o vínculo com o camisa 8, muito por conta da posição de liderança e exemplo que ele possui, principalmente após a saída do goleiro Cássio. No entanto, existe o receio de que o profissional acabe se tornando um “peso” na folha salarial no planejamento para a próxima temporada.

Alguns nomes têm sido apresentados à diretoria nos últimos meses. O mais recente foi o volante Maurício, ex–Fluminense, e que recentemente deixou o Portimonense, de Portugal.

Existe uma boa relação entre o estafe do atleta e o presidente Augusto Melo, mas, na época das conversas, a direção de futebol, que ainda era liderada por Rubens Gomes, o Rubão, foi contrária ao nome do jogador, assim como o técnico António Oliveira, que viu o atleta com as maiores características de primeiro volante, não se adequando ao perfil desejado pela comissão técnica.

Enquanto isso, o departamento de futebol, agora comandado por Fabinho Soldado, analisa o mercado. E o estafe de Paulinho tem recebido algumas sondagens, tanto de equipes brasileiras, quanto do exterior. Dois times japoneses despontam como os principais interessados: Kashiwa ReySol e Vissel Kobe.

10 overs Melbourne Stars suffered a costly WBBL loss just before finals as Sydney Thunder captain Phoebe Litchfield dominated a rain-affected encounter. Unable to reach the finals, Thunder destroyed the title-contending Stars by nine wickets in their last game of the tournament at the Junction Oval in Melbourne.Due to persistent rain, the match was shortened to ten overs a side as the Stars managed just 66 for 6 after being sent in to bat. Litchfield and fellow Australia young gun Georgia Voll made light work of the DLS-revised target of 76, securing the winning runs with 17 balls to spare.With just 11 runs needed and rain starting to fall again, Litchfield attempted one big shot too many and was out to Annabel Sutherland for a destructive 37 from 23 balls. Voll was untroubled by losing her opening partner, making an unbeaten 33 from 18 balls.Fellow big-hitter Laura Harris smashed the winning runs with a reverse ramp for four. Voll also chimed in with 2 for 13 to be named player of the match.The defeat is bound to have serious ramifications for the Stars, who entered the match placed second on the ladder. Hobart Hurricanes are locked in to host the final on December 13 as minor premiers, but the other three spots in the four remain up for grabs.Stars will wait nervously on other results, with Perth Scorchers hosting the winless Brisbane Heat on Saturday night. If the Scorchers, as expected, win, they will jump ahead of Stars into second.In the last game before finals, Sydney Sixers can also overtake Stars if they beat Adelaide Strikers at North Sydney Oval on Sunday.Thunder will finish the tournament in seventh, winning four of their 10 games.

Mohamed Salah has been named on the bench yet again by Liverpool manager Arne Slot for Saturday's Premier League game against Brighton at Anfield. The Egypt international has been recalled to the squad, after being left out against Inter in the Champions League in midweek following his critical comments, but has to make do with a place among the substitutes.

• Salah returns for Brighton game

  Salah is back in the Liverpool squad for the first time since claiming he had been "thrown under the bus" by the Reds and that his relationship with Slot has broken down following the team's draw with Leeds. The Egyptian's critical comments have thrown his future at the club into doubt and he was subsequently left out of the Champions League trip to San Siro. However, he is back in the squad for Saturday's match, although it remains to be seen if he will see any game time. Slot has gone with Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz and Dominik Szoboszlai in attack as he searches for victory against the Seagulls. Liverpool's fixture against Brighton is Salah's last before he is due to link up with Egypt's Africa Cup of Nations squad for the 2025 tournament.

• Slot speaks out on selection decisions

  Slot had little to say when quizzed about his decision to recall Salah to the squad for the match. He told ahead of kick-off: "Like you said, he is back in the squad and on the bench today."

  The Liverpool boss also explained why big-money signing Alexander Isak was only on the bench: "Got a knock in both games. Games come quite fast and there is also not so much to choose from. Nice to have someone from the bench who can impact the game."

  Slot was also critical of his team's fixture list as the Reds return to Premier League action after a midweek Champions League trip to Inter, adding: "Quite proud because playing four games in 10 days – that is almost criminal for football players. Especially if you have only 13-14 outfield players that are available. We accept playing a lot of games, but four in 10 days. That is a lot to take for players."

  Will Salah stay at Liverpool?

  Salah's situation at Liverpool means it's still unclear if he will remain at the club for the rest of the season. Slot spoke about the situation before the Brighton match at his pre-match press conference, telling reporters: "I have no reasons not wanting him to stay, if that is a little bit of an answer." Yet Saudi Pro League clubs are believed to be circling and are eager to bring the Egypt star to the Middle East.

  Saudi Pro League chief executive Omar Mugharbel has already admitted that Liverpool's talisman has emerged as a transfer target. He told the World Football Summit in Riyadh this week: "Mohamed Salah is welcome in the Saudi League, but it is the clubs that are responsible for negotiating with players. For sure Salah is one of them [a target]."

• What next for Salah and Liverpool?

  Salah will depart Merseyside after Saturday's match and switch focus to international football. Egypt take on Nigeria in a friendly before AFCON starts and then face Zimbabwe, Angola and South Africa in the group phase. If Egypt make it all the way to the final, then Salah is set to be away from Liverpool until at least January 18. 

  During his absence, his agent – Ramy Abbas – is set to hold talks with Liverpool over the 33-year-old's future at the club, according to . Salah signed a new two-year contract in the summer but it remains to be seen if he will now see that out.

  In the meantime, Liverpool face a busy fixture list over festive period and into January with games against Tottenham, Wolves, Leeds United, Fulham, Arsenal and Burnley in the Premier League as well as an FA Cup third round tie against Barnsley.

His efforts handed India their biggest defeat in men’s Tests, and their second whitewash at home in three series

Karim: ‘Harmer’s variations upset India batters’

In front of empty stands in India’s newest Test venue, South Africa competed their utter domination of the hosts with a whitewash and their heaviest Test defeat in terms of runs. More than just the order of session breaks was turned upside down in India’s eastern-most Test ground where South Africa sealed their first series win in India in 25 years and India’s second series defeat in 12 months after 12 years of spotless record.Simon Harmer out-bowled by miles the home spinners in a country, whose ordinary tour in 2015 resulted in a seven-year hiatus for him in Test cricket. No one has now taken more wickets at a better average in a series in India than his 17 wickets at 8.94. Marco Jansen was a little behind with 12 at 10.08, but he ended the series with yet another thing about which we can say: “only Marco could have done that”. A sensational catch over the shoulder, running back, diving and taking it one-handed. Just the kind of wicket Harmer won’t mind being denied a maiden 10-for by.This was the farthest result on India’s minds when Shubman Gill joked after losing yet another toss in Kolkata that it seems he will win only in the World Test Championship (WTC) final. Since then, India lost Gill to injury three balls into his work, and then both the Tests to leave themselves a hill to climb if they want to entertain thoughts of the WTC final. They now have 48.15% points halfway into their league matches. Historically at least 60% has been needed to get through to the final.Related

'Can't take anything for granted' – Pant rues missed chances after 2-0 clean sweep

The defending champions, who had to deal with some elitist sniggering about their schedule in the last cycle, now have 75% of their points. Temba Bavuma, the captain who brought home the mace, was still undefeated in Tests after 12 matches at the helm.That Bavuma wouldn’t lose this one had been clear halfway into this Test. Since then, South Africa played India out ruthlessly and started the fifth day needing eight wickets to take the full 12 WTC points from this match. This classic Indian Test pitch was now offering consistent turn and natural variation.Simon Harmer picked up his second Test five-for•BCCISo a combination of Harmer and Jansen, who took a five-for and a 93 in the first innings, was always going to test India’s resolve to bat the day out. The overnight batters, B Sai Sudharsan and nightwatch Kuldeep Yadav, enjoyed some luck with one wicket denied by a no-ball and another by a drop at slip by Aiden Markram, who took five catches in the first innings.The luck ended around half an hour into the day. It had always looked a matter of time against Harmer’s guile and persistence. Kuldeep was the first one to go, bowled by an offbreak that didn’t turn. You can’t quite make an offbreak not turn, but you can give it every chance to do so by changing the seam orientation, which Harmer did.In the same over, Harmer completed the brace of dream dismissals for an offspinner. He had bowled KL Rahul through the gate on the fourth evening; now he took Dhruv Jurel’s outside edge with drift and less turn than expected.Rishabh Pant is often criticised for taking too many risks, but this innings provided a counterpoint. Against a really slow offbreak from Harmer, Pant was a sitting duck the moment he decided to offer a forward-defensive. The extra bounce took the catch to Markram at slip, who was now moving rapidly towards the world record for most catches in a match.Sai Sudharsan enjoyed another dropped catch as he and Ravindra Jadeja took India into tea. Sai Sudharsan’s luck ran out in the first over after the break with Harmer getting a rest having bowled through the entire first session. He defended a Senuram Muthusamy half-volley. It didn’t turn, and Markram took another catch.South Africa registered their first Test series win in India in 25 years•BCCIAdequately rested, Harmer came back from the other end than the one that had been giving him wickets and took out Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy in quick succession. With a softer ball now, he started to bowl quicker and took the edge from Washington with a 90kmph offbreak. Markram took a sharp catch to go past Ajinkya Rahane’s world record of eight in a match.The right-hand batters were always going to struggle more now with three dismissals in play: bowled through the gate, outside edge and bat-pad catches. Reddy introduced the glove on the reverse sweep to give Harmer his best match figures, making him South Africa’s most successful bowler in India and the most prolific South Africa bowler after 14 Tests.Jadeja was the one India batter who swept well from the length that had other batters in trouble. He scored a consolatory half-century, read the room and shelved his sword celebrations, and was stumped when trying to take Keshav Maharaj on.The final moment, fittingly, belonged to Jansen. He scored quick runs when India were in control of South Africa’s scoring in the first innings, when it seemed no one could dominate the bowling. His long levers, which made this possible, also created the wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal in the first innings, then India’s only half-centurion. Then he unleashed bouncers when the pitch was still flat, taking more wickets with bouncers than anyone has taken in an innings in India.By the time South Africa bowled the second time around, the pitch offered consistent turn and didn’t call out for a superhuman effort from Jansen. Then again, why deny us when you can nonchalantly take an impossible catch to end the match and the series? Lest we forget.

Real Madrid's crisis escalated on Sunday as Endrick was sent off from the bench during the defeat to Celta Vigo, sparking a furious reaction from his father. With the Brazilian forward starving for minutes under manager Xabi Alonso, his parent turned to the bible to find encouraging words for the teenager, intensifying rumours of a January loan exit just months before the World Cup.

Bernabéu boiling point: Red card from the sidelines

The atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabeu was already toxic as Celta Vigo raced into a 2-0 lead, but the frustration on the Real Madrid bench spilled over in spectacular fashion. Endrick, who had been left out of the starting XI yet again by Xabi Alonso, did not even need to step onto the pitch to make headlines. In the dying moments of the match, the Brazilian teenager was shown a straight red card by the referee for dissent, reportedly launching a verbal tirade at the fourth official as tempers flared.

It was the third dismissal of the night for Los Blancos, following red cards for Fran Garcia and Alvaro Carreras, but the striker's expulsion is symbolic of a deeper malaise. Having played fewer than 20 minutes of La Liga football under Alonso, the 19-year-old’s discipline snapped. The suspension will likely rule him out of the upcoming clashes, further alienating a player who was supposed to be the future of the club but currently finds himself as a spectator to their implosion.

AdvertisementGetty Images SportEndrick's father vents his fury

The fallout from the match was immediate, with the player's father, Douglas Ramos, taking to social media to defend his son and fire a not-so-subtle dig at the Madrid hierarchy. He posted a picture of his son sitting on the Madrid bench and cited a bible verse as encouragement for the 19-year-old. He wrote: "Matthew Chapter 23:12. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted."

This "poisoned dart" appears squarely aimed at the management. It is not the first time the Brazilian's camp has hinted at dissatisfaction. Previously, he had accused Madrid of trying to "dim" the striker's spark. He wrote on social media: "I know, my son, how hard you work and how much you dedicate every minute of your day. I know everything you're capable of. You're a winner and you're showing everyone that you're a true warrior. Your star will continue to shine, even though some try to dim your light. I believe your future lies right there."

Frozen out by the manager

The relationship between the forward and his manager appears to be non-existent. Since taking over the reins, Alonso has largely ignored the Palmeiras academy graduate, preferring to utilise Kylian Mbappe centrally or even turning to academy product Gonzalo García as a backup option. The data is damning: the teenager has not started a single league game under the coach and has often been left warming the bench even when the team is chasing a game.

Tactically, the manager seems unconvinced by the youngster's discipline and positional play, favouring more versatile forwards who can drop deep. However, with the attack looking blunt against Celta, the decision to leave a prolific goalscorer unused – and then watch him get sent off for frustration – has raised serious questions about Alonso’s man-management. The "dimming of the light" quote suggests that the player believes this exclusion is personal rather than tactical, a dangerous narrative for a coach already under pressure.

Getty Images SportWhat comes next?

With the situation becoming untenable, a January departure now looks inevitable. The red card may have been the final straw for both parties. Reports in France and Italy indicate that Lyon, Juventus, and even Manchester United are monitoring the situation closely, ready to offer a six-month loan deal.

For the player, a move is essential. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, he cannot afford to spend a season in the shadows. Real Madrid may be reluctant to weaken their squad depth given their injury crisis, but keeping an unhappy, suspended, and vocal teenager in a fracturing dressing room might be a luxury they can no longer afford.

Ever since Billy McLean became the first major league umpire in 1876, the umpire has been baseball’s Supreme Court—the highest court in the land. It helped McLean’s authority, too, that he was a former boxer. One hundred forty-nine years of absolute authority on balls and strikes ended Tuesday. The ABS Challenge System is coming next season to MLB. Think of it as an appellate court, in which players can petition technology to overrule Supreme Court Justice Umpire.

This was inevitable, and it is a good thing for baseball, both of which were obvious when the system was tested in major league spring training games this year after some lab work in the minors.

Still, change can be scary. You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.

Why is it called ABS? Does it have anything to do with my car?

It’s an acronym for Automated Ball Strike Challenge System. It was approved Tuesday by the Joint Competition Committee, which is comprised of six owners, four active players and one active umpire. The vote was not unanimous, but in a mild surprise, not all players on the committee voted against it.

How many pitches will get the challenge treatment?

Each team gets two challenges, plus one in each extra inning if they have used their challenges. A team retains its challenge if it is successful. The spring training challenges averaged 4.1 per game.

[Watch: MLB Ump Ripped After Missing an Astounding 25 Calls in Brewers-Padres Game]

Wait, I thought baseball was big on keeping a faster pace. Doesn’t this slow the game?

The average spring training challenge took 13.8 seconds. At 4.1 challenges per game, we’re talking an additional 57 seconds. I think you can handle that.

What happens to pitch framing? Won’t teams just put a pair of cement hands behind the plate now that technology is the backstop?

No. Ninety-eight percent of pitches will not be challenged. The value of pitch framing will be diminished, but teams must be so judicious in when to use their challenges that presenting pitches will still be important.

Aren’t we losing the human element?

Yes, if you consider an obvious blown call as a human element worth preserving. The limit on challenges is designed with the same purpose replay is used on the bases: nobody wants to see games decided on an egregious call.

And ABS adds a new layer to the human element: the strategy and skill of when to challenge. Catchers are the best at getting a call overturned (56% in the spring training test). Pitchers are the worst (41%). Hitters were in the middle (50%). Now a catcher who is expert at judging the strike zone will have a competitive edge for his team. Judgment on the zone and when to challenge will be a huge part of the catcher skill set.

Is the strike zone changing?

No. It did change in the minors, with a lowering of the top of the zone. The major league strike zone remains the same. The height of every player, as they were last year, will be measured in spring training to determine their individual zone: 53.5% of the player’s height at the top and 27% at the bottom.

What about those strike zones we see on television broadcasts?

Good news. The strike zone you will see on TV next year will be the official ABS strike zone. Broadcasters will be using the same technology. That’s not true now, which creates confusion for viewers because they often differ slightly from the real zone.

What do the umpires think about this?

The umpires knew technology was advancing so fast that this was inevitable. Umpiring keeps improving, in part because umpires are trained with the help of technology rather than calling their personal strike zone. They want to get it right and often do. Remember, teams could challenge pitches in spring training, and because of the two-challenge limit they had to reserve their challenges for when they were convinced the call was wrong. And the umpires were right 47.8% of the time—basically a coin flip.

Is this good for fans?

Yes. Watching the video unfold on the scoreboard in real time on a challenge is terrific fan engagement. You find out at the same time as players. Strike or ball? Watching the arc of the pitch entering the zone is good theater.

Everything has a cost. What are we losing?

If you get a kick out of Yankees manager Aaron Boone blowing a gasket, I guess you’ll miss his rants directed at the home plate umpires. Got a beef with the umpire? Just challenge. Boone gets thrown out once every 26.4 games, about the same rate as all-time umpire frenemy Earl Weaver, which is amazing when you consider Boone has had replay available on calls on the bases.

Pat McAfee primarily focuses on the NFL and college football and professional wrestling, but decided at the last minute this year that he wanted to be involved in the MLB All-Star festivities. ESPN did not hesitate as they put him front and center to have him introduce the participants on Monday night and let him host a Q&A panel earlier in the day.

Some baseball fans may have been surprised to find McAfee so prominently involved, but regular ESPN viewers barely batted an eye. As (at least) one person on social media pointed out, at this point ESPN is mostly made up of McAfee and Stephen A. Smith noting, "Kids today don't realize it, but you used to be able tot urn on ESPN and not see Stephen A. Smith or Pat McAfee."

One ex-ESPN employee agreed as former NFL Primetime host Trey Wingo added that "it used to be a glorious buffet when you could pick and choose what you wanted. Now it's like a banquet dinner: chicken or fish?"

Wingo worked at ESPN for more than two decades from 1997 to 2020. Chicken and fish were available when he worked there, but not quite to this extreme.

Sweden boss Graham Potter has now shared an update on injured Tottenham winger Dejan Kulusevski and his current condition, hinting at a potential return date.

Tottenham without Dejan Kulusevski since May through knee injury

Kulusevski’s knee injury has evolved into one of Tottenham’s most frustrating injury sagas, with the Sweden international sidelined since May’s 2-0 defeat against Crystal Palace.

The 25-year-old was forced off after just 19 minutes at Selhurst Park with discomfort in his right patella, initially appearing a relatively minor issue.

However, medical examinations then revealed damage serious enough to require surgery, with Kulusevski undergoing the procedure on May 14th — ruling him out of Tottenham’s Europa League final triumph over Man United.

Former Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou expressed disappointment when confirming the setback, explaining that medical staff were initially relieved the structural integrity of the knee seemed intact.

The Australian expected Kulusevski to miss ‘at least a few months’ but provided no definitive return timeline, acknowledging uncertainty about whether the Swede would even be ready for the 25/26 season opener in August.

Tottenham handed pitiful Solanke injury update with new timeline shared

The Englishman hasn’t featured since Man City in August.

ByEmilio Galantini 4 days ago

Seven months later, Kulusevski remains unavailable and has failed to make a single appearance under Thomas Frank.

His prolonged absence has seriously impacted Tottenham’s creativity, particularly given James Maddison’s ACL injury that will keep the playmaker out for most of this campaign.

Spurs have been forced to rely on makeshift solutions in the number ten position, with summer signing Xavi Simons being their only natural alternative in that role.

Footage emerged of Kulusevski training with Spurs coaches in Dubai during a warm-weather rehabilitation camp, encouraging supporters who have grown impatient with his prolonged absence.

However, Frank’s most recent update provided little comfort, simply stating he would only share news when Kulusevski is “when they are ready to really be close to being involved in the squad”.

Potter shares Kulusevski injury 'truth' with Tottenham timeline given

Now, speaking on Fotbollskanalen podcast, as translated by Sport Witness, Potter has now hinted at a possible timeline for the £110,000-per-week forward.

The Sweden boss is confident that Kulusevski could be ready for their World Cup play-off semi-final against Ukraine in March, claiming that the former Juventus star has a ‘really complicated’ injury.

When asked if Kulusevski will be ready for the Ukraine clash, Potter said he is ‘convinced’.

Few could’ve envisaged that Kulusevski would be absent for this long, and Frank will be desperate to call upon him at the earliest opportunity.

The ex-Serie A star bagged 10 goals and 11 assists in 50 appearances last term, marking himself out as one of Spurs’ chief creators, and they’re a much better side when he’s available for selection.

Losing both him and Maddison has undoubtedly had a major effect on Tottenham, but it shouldn’t be too long before he takes to the pitch again.

أكد الحكم الدولي السابق سمير عثمان أن التحكيم الإفريقي في الوقت الحالي لا يزال يعاني من العديد من القصور، خاصة في الاعتماد على تقنية الفيديو، وهو ما أثر على مستوى المباريات في بطولات دوري أبطال إفريقيا وكأس الكونفدرالية.

وقال سمير عثمان في تصريحات عبر برنامج “لعبة والتانية” على إذاعة “أون سبورت إف إم”: “اتضح بعد المباريات في بطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا والكونفدرالية التي شاهدناها، أن الحكم الإفريقي يفتقد إلى الموهبة بشكل كبير، ويعتمد اعتمادًا كليًا على تقنية الفيديو”.

وتابع: “شاهدنا في مباراة الأهلي ومباراة الزمالك، وقبلها بحوالي عشرة أيام مباراة الجيش الملكي المغربي، أنه تم احتساب كرة لصالح الجيش الملكي المغربي كهدف سليم، بينما رفع مساعد الحكم راية التسلل رغم عدم وجود تسلل، وكل ذلك بسبب اعتماد الحكام على تقنية الفار، أما عند إزالة الفار، ظهر الحكام فعليًا بمستوى غير جيد للأسف”.

وأضاف: “لا يزال الوقت مبكرًا جدًا على الحكم الإفريقي، كان من المتوقع أن نجد بعض التطورات بعد الإجراءات التي اتخذها الاتحاد الإفريقي لكرة القدم، ونجد حكامًا جيدين، لكن من الواضح أن الجميع لا يزال يعتمد على الفار”.

وأشار إلى أن: “تقنية الفار لا تُطبق في دور المجموعات للبطولات الإفريقية، بسبب تفاوت الحالة الاقتصادية للدول المشاركة، وربما هناك تقنية أخرى مماثلة لتلك المستخدمة في كأس العالم للناشئين، وهي تقنية الفيديو المساعد لكرة القدم (VFS)”.

وأوضح: “هذه التقنية لا تحتاج إلى حكم خاص بالفار، فكل ما عليك هو تسجيل المباراة بالكاميرات، وإذا كان لديك أي اعتراض كمدرب على أي قرار، يمكنك استخدام بطاقتين للتحدي، فتذهب إلى الحكم الرابع وتبلغّه بالتحدي، إذا ثبت صحة اعتراضك بعد مراجعة القرار، يُعاد لك الحق في اللعبة، أما إذا كان قرار الحكم صحيحًا، فتسحب منك فرصة التحدي الثانية”.

واختتم: “كان بالإمكان أن ينفذ الاتحاد الإفريقي هذا النظام بأقل تكلفة وبسرعة، المشكلة أن البطولة الإفريقية للأندية كانت صعبة التنفيذ، خاصة بعد ثلاث مباريات متتالية مليئة بالأخطاء التحكيمية، مباراة الجيش الملكي، ومباراة الأهلي، ومباراة الزمالك، كانت الأخطاء التحكيمية فيها صعبة على أي حكم، ويجب أن ينظر الاتحاد الإفريقي إليها مجددًا”.

Newcastle United have now joined several top clubs in the race to sign a teenage star who’s the same “talent level” as Erling Haaland, according to reports.

Alan Shearer praises "excellent" Guimaraes despite Tottenham draw

Although Newcastle have the chance to redeem themselves against Burnley this weekend, they’ll look back on their 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur as a chance wasted. The Magpies largely dominated, but came unstuck by a shock Cristian Romero brace which included a late overhead kick.

Eddie Howe still has plenty of reason to be optimistic, though, and one of those reasons is the performance of Bruno Guimaraes. The Brazilian emerged from the bench before finding the back of the net and receiving high praise from Tyneside legend Alan Shearer.

It was a standout display from a Newcastle fan favourite, but that may not stop the Magpies from welcoming another midfield addition in the January transfer window.

Those at St James’ Park have already been linked with the likes of Scott McTominay on that front and could welcome the Scotland international, before turning their focus towards the in-demand Yan Diomande.

Newcastle join Yan Diomande race

Newcastle have now joined the race to sign Diomande, according to TeamTalk, and are among the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Liverpool all competing to land the winger’s signature.

One RB Leipzig source even went as far as to tell TeamTalk that the winger is the same “talent level” as Manchester City star Haaland, who also came through the Red Bull ranks at Salzburg a number of years ago.

Newcastle have reportedly sent their scouts to watch the 19-year-old in action, but it remains to be seen whether they’ll be able to position themselves to secure his arrival.

What’s more, Leipzig themselves are not ready to let their young star leave and his reported €100m (£87m) release clause should help fend off at least some of the interest.

Given how Anthony Elanga has struggled this season, Diomande is someone that the Magpies should be all in on if they want to complete their frontline alongside record signing Nick Woltemade.
