A major update has emerged on Stoke forward Lee Gregory, regarding Sheffield Wednesday’s interest in his services. 

According to Football League World, the Owls are poised to land the Stoke City centre-forward this summer. Gregory’s contract at Stoke expires at the end of the month and he is set to become a free agent in July.

Sheffield Wednesday are now looking to pounce on the former Millwall forward. The report claims that Hillsborough is the most likely destination for the attacker as it stands, with Darren Moore on the verge of adding him to his squad.

Back in 2019, former Millwall boss Neil Harris lavished praise on the “quality” attacker as he was heading for the exit door at The Den. He told London News Online:

“I can only thank him for his efforts while I’ve been in charge.

“Not just his goal-scoring record, but his quality as a person. 

“He is hugely, hugely popular in the changing room, massively popular with the staff because of his honesty, his trust, his performances and his work ethic. And he’s a fan favourite as well.”

In signing him, Dejphon Chansiri could land a major boost for Sheffield Wednesday.

Amidst all the bad news surrounding the club, with the unpaid wage situation, this could be a timely piece of positive news for Wednesday fans to enjoy. With Jordan Rhodes leaving the club at the end of the month, Moore is currently on course to have zero natural centre-forwards in his squad heading into next season. This means that adding a striker to the mix is a much-needed move.

The £12k-per-week dynamo has experience of delivering in League One. In two seasons in the third tier for Millwall, Gregory scored an exceptional 35 goals in 78 games, whilst also providing nine assists for his teammates.

This means that he is a proven goalscorer in the third tier and could help fire Sheffield Wednesday to promotion if he is able to rediscover his best form and settle in under the coaching of Moore. Therefore, fans should be buzzing that the club are on course to sign a proven player for their level.

Gregory would also arrive as a striker who has proven himself in the Championship. The 32-year-old scored four goals in nine starts for Stoke and Derby in the season just gone and has had four seasons of scoring six or more Championship goals in his career – hitting double figures twice for Millwall.

This shows that he is a useful player in the second tier and could be a valuable player for Wednesday to have if they are able to return to the division at the first attempt next season.

Eduardo Baptista tem boa parte do time do Palmeiras definido para a estreia no Campeonato Paulista, domingo, às 17h, contra o Botafogo-SP, no Allianz Parque. A única dúvida está no ataque: no treino de quinta, o técnico escalou o time com Willian na frente; nesta sexta, sem a presença de jornalistas, ele diz ter feito outro teste durante a atividade na arena.

-Eu tenho uma dúvida na frente. Testamos uma situação ontem (quinta), hoje demos uma olhada em uma outra situação, então vai depender muito do Botafogo-SP. É uma dúvida só, a equipe está praticamente definida – resumiu o treinador, no fim desta manhã.

A provável escalação tem: Fernando Prass; Jean, Edu Dracena, Vitor Hugo e Zé Roberto; Felipe Melo; Róger Guedes, Tchê Tchê, Raphael Veiga e Dudu; Willian (Alecsandro ou Barrios). De acordo com o técnico, a escolha do centroavante dependerá do estilo de jogo do adversário. Na avaliação de Eduardo, Willian e Erik são os candidatos quando precisar de um time mais rápido; Alecsandro e Barrios são os candidatos quando o Verdão precisar de uma referência.

-Esse primeiro jogo é complicado, porque a gente não teve quase nenhuma informação do Botafogo-SP. Eles fizeram jogos-treinos fechados. Mas a gente tem observadores no interior, conheço jogadores do outro lado, conheço as características. O Moacir (Júnior), que é treinador, estudou comigo, é meu amigo. A gente sabe mais ou menos o pensamento. Neste primeiro jogo é uma colcha de retalhos, a gente tenta passar o máximo de informação para não ser surpreendido – acrescentou.

Moisés e Mina, em fase final de transição física, e Guerra, aguardando a liberação do seu visto de trabalho para ser regularizado, são as ausências nesta rodada. Arouca, em recuperação após uma cirurgia no tornozelo, Rodrigo, negociando sua saída, e Hyoran, que fará um trabalho físico à parte, não foram inscritos para o Estadual.

أكد المدرب الألماني يورجن كلوب، المدير الفني لنادي ليفربول، أنه لا توجد أي إصابات في فريقه قبل ملاقاة مانشستر سيتي في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

ليفربول يواجه مانشستر سيتي، بعد غد الأحد على ملعب “الاتحاد”، في تمام الساعة الخامسة والنصف بتوقيت القاهرة، السادسة والنصف بتوقيت مكة المُكرمة؛ ضمن فعاليات الجولة الثانية والثلاثين من الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

وقال كلوب في المؤتمر الصحفي الخاص بالمباراة: “الجميع لائقون إلى حدٍ كبير، لقد ألقيت نظرة على هاتفي ويبدو أن الجميع متاح مرة أخرى”.

وتطرق كلوب للحديث عن مدى تأثر محمد صلاح بالأخبار والقصص عنه سواء الانتقادات بسبب أدائه أو تجديد عقده، وقال: “في الواقع، لم أكن أعرف عن القصص من حوله”.

وأضاف: “الأمر يتعلق فقط بالحدة، هذا ما اعتقدته وليس القصص التي تمت كتابتها، أعتقد أن ما تعرض له كان شديدًا، خاض 120 دقيقة 6 مرات تقريبًا”.

وأتم الألماني تصريحاته قائلًا: “الخبرة في المباريات الكبيرة مُفيدة، ولكنها بالتأكيد ليست الشيء الوحيد المهم الذي يجب مراعاته عند اختيار التشكيلة ولكنها واحدة منهم بالتأكيد”.

According to Football Insider, Southampton lead the race to sign Adam Armstrong from Blackburn Rovers this summer.

The Lowdown: Saints eye a striker

After a mixed campaign which saw the Saints finish 15th in the Premier League but also reach an F.A Cup semi-final, Ralph Hasenhuttl and co will likely be looking to add to his squad ahead of next term.

With Danny Ings continually linked with the exit door (The Telegraph via The Daily Express), a new striker could be towards the top of Hasenhuttl’s wishlist.

The Latest: Armstrong on the radar

Now, according to Football Insider sources, the Saints are leading the race for Armstrong along with newly-promoted Norwich City.

As per the report, Blackburn are looking for £15m for the 24-year-old.

The Verdict: On form

Last-term, Armstrong enjoyed a prolific campaign despite his side only finishing 15th in the Championship table. He scored 29 goals in 43 games in all competitions, including 28 in the league (Transfermarkt) – only Brentford’s Ivan Toney managed more in the second tier last term (topscorersfootball.com).

Tony Mowbray hailed him as a “dynamic” player towards the end of 2020 (FourFourTwo), and his goal record suggests that assessment is spot on.

All in all, he has 64 strikes in 160 games for Blackburn – it seems he is ready to make the next step after his best campaign yet.

Valued at £14.4m (Transfermarkt), the fee Rovers are actually looking for appears to be respectable, too. Should the Saints be able to capture his services, he could be an inspired signing.

In other news, Southampton fans were livid at this man’s exit.

Aston Villa could be set for talks with River Plate over winger Julian Alvarez, as reported by respected Radio Continental journalist Sebastián Srur on Twitter.

The Lowdown: Aston Villa gear up for 2021/22 with swift action

Looking to get their ducks in a row ahead of the 2021/22 season, many onlookers will be fascinated to see how the Villains improve on their 11th placed finish last term [Sportskeeda].

Of course, Villa have already been extremely active in the transfer window; acquiring Emiliano Buendia for a record fee from Norwich City alongside free agent Ashley Young [Birmingham Mail].

Intriguingly, they may now be well on their way to a third summer signing following latest reports.

The Latest: Srur drops intriguing update; Alvarez could have Villa talks ‘next week’

Speaking to his Twitter following, Srur, who has covered River Plate for nearly two decades, issued a promising update regarding Alvarez’s next move, which translated to:

“Aston Villa, interested in Julian Alvarez. It will be necessary to see if they advance with a concrete offer. There may be meetings next week in England”.

Alvarez is rumoured to be ready to take the next step in his career, viewing a switch to Europe as the correct option for his long-term future [Birmingham Mail].

The Verdict: Alvarez would be a great addition to Aston Villa

The Argentina international would be a real coup should Dean Smith’s attempts to bring him to Villa Park succeed – his compatriot and seasoned goalscorer Gonzalo Higuain revealed his ‘love’ for Alvarez back in March, praising him as a ‘huge’ player with a ‘lot of potential.’

Enjoying a dazzling 2020/21 campaign, the tricky wide-man notched an impressive 11 goal contributions from 20 appearances, with four goals and seven assists [Transfermarkt].

Already boasting an array of forward talent, the potential that Alvarez could team up with the likes of Ollie Watkins, Jack Grealish, Emiliano Buendia and Bertrand Traore is a mouth-watering prospect for the Villa support.

Capable of driving past players with ease, Alvarez has averaged 1.7 dribbles per 90 minutes this year [WhoScored]. Building the makings of a side that could push for continental football, securing his signature should be a priority for Aston Villa as they approach pre-season.

Ralph Dellor25-Feb-2002Sussex fast bowler James Kirtley, whose action was reported by ICC match referee Naushad Ali in Bulawayo in October, is to go before an England and Wales Cricket Board hearing on March 12th in an attempt to have his remodelled action approved.Kirtley’s action first came under scrutiny after unofficial complaints on the England A tour to New Zealand in 1999. He satisfied the ECB after that and has had significant success with Sussex in domestic cricket without encountering further problems despite the close scrutiny of officials.However, it was not until he had broken through into the senior international side during England’s one-day series against Zimbabwe that official complaints were made. He is now hoping that the remedial coaching he has received from ECB bowling advisor Bob Cottam will allow him to resume his career without further suspicion concerning his action.

Nesta sexta-feira o treinador Renato Gaúcho destacou, mais uma vez, que confia na força de seu elenco. Com seis baixas para o duelo com o São José, no próximo domingo, às 19h30, na Arena, o comandante gremista destacou que os jogadores farão falta, sim, mas que confia nas opções que o grupo apresenta.

– Não estou assustado(com o alto número de de baixas), não. Mas prejudica o trabalho. Não tínhamos ninguém no departamento médico, e agora temos vários jogadores importantes entregues ao departamento médico. Até mesmo a cirurgia do Douglas. Eu não tenho medo de nada, confio no meu grupo. Mas é de se pensar. Temos vários jogos. Então fica difícil. Começa a espremer – comentou Gaúcho.

– Você bota um time em campo, daqui a pouco, um dos jogadores também pode se machucar. Espero que ninguém mais se machuque e que os lesionados voltem o mais rápido possível – completou o treinador, que mesmo com poucas opções ainda tenta esconder da imprensa o provável time do próximo domingo.

No ataque, por exemplo, o treinador não conta com Luan e Pedro Rocha, machucados. Além da dupla, Beto da Silva e Jael, reforços para esta temporada, também estão lesionados. Sendo assim, chegou a vez de Fernandinho e Everton formarem a dupla de ataque gremista? Não é o que garante Renato

-Fernandinho e o Everton estão concentrados com mais 20 jogadores, ou seja, podem jogar, assim como os demais, falou Renato após o treino. Eu tenho que mandar fazer mais apitos… Está cheio de treinadores por aqui. É o que eu sempre falo. O jogador que está no grupo do Grêmio tem que estar preparado. Independente de quem quer que seja, ele pode começar e entrar na partida.Tem que estar preparada. A equipe já foi treinada. Está na minha cabeça – comentou Gaúcho, que também tem Edílson e Douglas como baixas diante do São José.

Com poucas opções, não é difícil imaginar o time que vai a campo. A escalação mais provável temMarcelo Grohe; Léo Moura, Pedro Geromel, Kannemann e Marcelo Oliveira; Jailson, Maicon, Ramiro, Miller Bolaños e Fernandinho; Everton. O Tricolor está em segundo no Campeonato Gaúcho, com duas vitórias em três jogos.
