Gareth Bale has been linked with another return to Tottenham Hotspur…

What’s the word?

That’s according Spanish outlet Super Deporte, who claim that Spurs are the most interested team as he enters the final few months of his current contract at Real Madrid.

Los Blancos president Florentino Perez has already made it clear that he does not intend to extend the Welshman’s deal at the Bernabeu, meaning he will be available for nothing in the summer and can even speak to foreign teams from January.

It’s believed that Antonio Conte has the final word on whether or not the Lilywhites sign Bale for a third time.

Kane’s saviour

And approve a deal he must.

Despite rarely featuring under Jose Mourinho and then interim Ryan Mason during last season’s loan spell, Spurs have sorely missed his influence in the final third.

Indeed, the north London giants are struggling to score goals.

Only rock-bottom Norwich City (10.7) have averaged fewer shots than Spurs (10.9), whilst the fifth-placed outfit are inside the bottom seven for expected goals, as per Understat.

Bale bagged three goals in seven starts in the Europa League and found the net 11 times (third-most) in the league, even though he started ten of his 20 appearances, via WhoScored. He managed a goal or assist every 71 minutes and that’s exactly what Conte needs to get Spurs firing on all cylinders again.

As such, the burden would be lowered on Harry Kane, who has delivered just one goal in the Premier League all season.

Furthermore, the pair combined for four goals in their 772 minutes on the pitch together last season, so you’d imagine that if they featured together more regularly, then the Spurs duo could be a lethal duo in the attack more often.

Even Mourinho dubbed the 6 foot 1 winger “remarkable” for his “incredible” impact at the club, both on and off the pitch, so that’s another encouraging factor for Conte to consider.

The 100-time Wales international, who is valued at £9m by Transfermarkt, would be an astute free signing for Spurs in the summer. Fabio Paratici and co must look to seal his permanent signature this time around.

AND in other news, 67% duels lost: “Special” £17m-rated Spurs dud may have blown his chance under Conte…

West Indies 312 and 9 for 308 (Deonarine 82, Nash 65) need 51 runs to beat Australia 7 for 520 dec & 150 (Bravo 4-42)
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details

West Indies had Australia shuddering for half the day but by stumps it was the hosts who were one wicket from cracking in a courageous chase. Australia grabbed four breakthroughs in the last hour to be on the verge of a 2-0 series win, with Kemar Roach and Gavin Tonge needing another 51 to reach their unlikely victory target of 359.The match seemed headed for a quick finish when West Indies were 3 for 68 at lunch – the dangermen Chris Gayle and Ramnaresh Sarwan were gone – but Narsingh Deonarine and Brendan Nash combined in a brave partnership that gave them hope. By the scheduled end Australia needed three wickets and took the extra half hour, succeeding only in dismissing Sulieman Benn and Ravi Rampaul. Roach and Tonge not only held on, but added 29 in 30 balls to take the score to 9 for 308, extending the game into a fifth day.On a swinging afternoon West Indies had started to believe in a drawn series during the second session, when the 128-run stand between Deonarine and Nash was taking them closer to what would be the second-highest successful run-chase at the ground. At tea Australia’s bowling had been ineffective, flat and as sick as Mitchell Johnson. By stumps Johnson, who was suffering stomach problems, had bowled through the pain to gain three wickets and Ricky Ponting could relax over his 35th birthday dinner. There will be no long party for the captain, but with a sunny day predicted for Sunday, most of his fears over the result will have disappeared.Just as Ponting’s men were wondering if they would be giving up two huge chases in a row at the ground – last year South Africa pursued 414 – they broke through twice in two overs. Deonarine and Dwayne Bravo, the last game-changer in the order, departed to return control to Australia and more dismissals came in the final stages.A maiden wicket went to Clint McKay when he bowled Denesh Ramdin, but the final one stayed out of reach. Benn struck two sixes off Johnson in his 33 before Theo Doropoulos, the substitute fielder, made up for his earlier miss at mid-on, and Rampaul went in the same Johnson over. Then the last pair showed similar determination as Deonarine and Nash to hold out.Until his 183rd delivery Nash was an immoveable object, but Doug Bollinger took the new ball and delivered an off-cutter that hit off stump without the batsman playing a shot. It was a sad end for such a gutsy display in which Nash was the side’s brick wall, deflecting the ball and insults from the fielders during his 65. Deonarine more than doubled his previous best score with 82, his first Test half-century, as the aggressor in the stand that lasted more than three hours.The combination was slow at the start, but West Indies didn’t need to rush and preventing any further damage was key. As the partnership went on the Australians increased their appealing, especially when the spinners were on, and Marcus North could have had an lbw if a not-out decision for Deonarine, on 65, had been referred to the third umpire.Further resistance came after tea, with Nash becalmed for 70 minutes on 48, as the Australians worked on suffocating the pair. Neither left-hander made a fatal mistake until Deonarine played back to Shane Watson, who was working from around the wicket, and the ball deflected from pad on the stumps. The Australians roared in relief and were jubilant again a run later when Bravo lashed at Johnson and was caught in the gully by Michael Hussey.Johnson spent time off the field and on taking the wicket bent over in exhaustion as his team-mates patted his back. Nathan Hauritz was also unwell but the burst of wickets after tea ended the queasy feeling for the team.Nash was unflustered throughout, and deserved the applause when he moved from 48 to his half-century with a glide for four off Watson. Even the bowler, the most chirpy of the Australians, clapped his former Queensland team-mate. Watson’s 2 for 24 off 12 was an impressive return blighted only by his antics when he removed Chris Gayle to a catch behind on 21.Travis Dowlin (22) had already departed, finding one of two men in the deep with a hook shot, and when Watson captured Gayle the bowler cheered like a gorilla within a couple of metres of the batsman. Watson was immediately summoned by the umpires, but the Australians weren’t too worried as they thought they had the crucial wicket and the rest would be easy.At the beginning of the day the tourists’ bowling surge continued as Australia were dismissed for 150, their lowest completed innings since 93 in a dead rubber against India in 2004. They lost their final two wickets in the first 27 balls of the morning, adding 13 valuable runs to their overnight advantage of 345.Bravo’s three wickets had kept his side in the game on the third day and he collected 4 for 42, finishing the innings with Hauritz’s edge to slip. West Indies arrived with most predictions of a cleansweep but they have ruffled the hosts since they were battered in Brisbane. They had a chance in the morning but by stumps they needed a miracle.

ScorecardA good final over from Stacy-Ann King took West Indies women to a thrilling two-run win over South Africa and with it a 3-0 sweep of the hosts in Paarl. South Africa will be left kicking themselves after they failed to chase down a target of 98, and the reason can be found in the middle overs when they allowed the required rate to get away. West Indies, after losing the one-day series, rounded off their tour on a high.West Indies had bowled tightly to keep the hosts under check as they attempted to salvage a win in the final game, but still found themselves needing to be on the mark going into the final over. Needing 12 to win, South Africa got four off the first ball as Alicia Smith slogged one to the deep. But on the next ball Smith went lbw for 44, after which two singles and a scampered double left the equation to four off the last ball. A single was taken, a second attempted, but a run out sealed the win for West Indies.Smith’s 44 had propped up a feeble chase, which began with a wicket in the first over. Between overs 11-15 South Africa managed just 24 runs and thereon struggled to get back on track.They had done well to dismiss West Indies for 97, a total that owed immensely to the opener Deandra Dottin’s 53. Amazingly, after Dottin slammed two fours and six in a 20-run opening over, West Indies managed just 77 in the remaining 19 overs. On top of that, there was no other player to make it to double digits. Dottin batted 36 balls for her match-winning role, and her dismissal in the 14th over was followed by the tail twitching for a further 18 crucial runs. Given South Africa’s dismal performance in the series, a total of 97 proved enough.

Paul Collingwood has admitted it is a challenge to try and mould a Twenty20 side ahead of the next global tournament in the Caribbean with so few matches played at international level. The World Twenty20 will take place in April and May 2010, but although that is eight months away England have precious few games to hone their skills and put together a unit.After the second of two matches against Australia at Old Trafford on Tuesday, their next Twenty20s aren’t until the beginning of their South Africa tour in November. No more are currently confirmed before heading to West Indies, although the schedule for the Bangladesh tour in February has yet to be confirmed. Some of England’s players may be able to warm up at the IPL, which has been brought forward to March and April, but that doesn’t help Collingwood build team plans in the shortest format.”We’ve only got four or five games before the Twenty20 World Cup so it’s a tough one to keep chopping and changing,” Collingwood said. “We don’t play enough cricket to actually get something cemented down and in place. Hopefully we will have the attitude that players will get a good go in certain positions. But I thought the side [against Australia] looked very balanced on paper, I’m not saying that will be the side that takes us into the World Cup but it does look very balanced.”There is also uncertainty over Collingwood’s position as captain. Currently he is being appointed on a series-by-series basis with Andrew Strauss having decided he isn’t suited to Twenty20. Collingwood insists he is happy in his position and is planning as though he will lead the side in West Indies.”I’m pretty clear on my role. I was captain for the World Twenty20 and I’ve been selected as captain for the two Twenty20s against Australia,” he said. “So until I’m told otherwise, I want to lead England into the next Twenty20 World Cup. I’m happy with that arrangement – and unless someone tells me otherwise, I look forward to my job captaining the side.”England have been guilty of making numerous changes to their Twenty20 team, including 13 opening partnerships in 21 matches with the latest being Joe Denly and Ravi Bopara at Old Trafford. For the World Twenty20 in England this summer Luke Wright opened and started well before fading later in the event but now finds himself at No. 7. Collingwood feels that Wright’s strong hitting ability will be better suited down the order, where England were severely lacking in the previous tournament and struggled to find the boundary in the closing overs.”We came out of the World Twenty20 and looked at areas we could strengthen and one was the middle order,” he said. “We are trying to have some bigger hitters at the back end of the innings so dropping Wrighty down we think we have that. Obviously with Denly’s and [Jonathan] Trott’s records in domestic Twenty20 it doesn’t get much better than what they are doing.”It was far from an ideal start for England’s latest pair, however, as they were both dismissed in the first seven balls of the innings before rain ended the contest. With Australia possessing the pace attack of Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson and Dirk Nannes, Collingwood is aware that the top order will have to be at their best to repel them.”That’s something we’re going to have to overcome, the pace they have in their side,” he said. “They have three 90mph bowlers and that’s something we are going to have to deal with, but I think we have the batsman to overcome that.”David Warner, Australia’s opening batsman, has warned that it won’t get any easier for England in the second Twenty20 encounter and throughout the remainder of the season. “We’ll be targeting them from short of a length as we saw yesterday [on Sunday],” he said. “Binga [Lee] and Mitch are bowling quick and England can expect more of that.”

Crystal Palace could retain an interest in Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah after their efforts to secure his signature over the summer were rebuffed, according to journalist Tom Barclay.

What’s the story?

The Eagles were first linked with the 22-year-old in the previous transfer window when The Athletic claimed that Palace were willing to pay £10m for the youngster, but a deal couldn’t be agreed between the two clubs as the Gunners were holding out for a £20m fee.

Now though, with the January window fast approaching, Barclay believes the south London outfit could try their luck again as new manager Patrick Vieira looks to add further reinforcements to his forward line.

He told GIVEMESPORT: “There was big interest in Nketiah in the summer, he’s out of contract next summer.

“But he’s 22, which means he’s under 24 so Arsenal would be due some compensation, so it wouldn’t be a free transfer. I wouldn’t be surprised if they retained interest in Nketiah, though.”

Crystal Palace need him

A recent report by TransferMarketWeb claimed the former England U21 international could be available for as little as €12m (£10m) this winter due to his contract situation, a fee that could prove to be an absolute bargain in years to come.

He was dubbed “so incredibly prolific” by football scout Jacek Kulig after a string of impressive performances for Arsenal that has seen him rack up a combined haul of 16 goals and assists. Sadly, Nketiah has found opportunities hard to come by in recent months.

After receiving just 173 minutes of first-team action this term – all coming in the Carabao Cup – Nketiah has made his desire to depart north London known to Mikel Arteta, meaning an imminent exit could be on the cards.

With Christian Beneteke set to turn 31 next month, and loanee Jean-Philippe Mateta expected to return to his parent club early, Vieira and Palace will need extra attacker options over the coming months, and Nketiah could be the ideal solution.

Pakistan got rid of Sri Lanka’s batting luminaries without too muchtrouble, but found Chamara Kapugedera and Thilan Samaraweera impossible todislodge as the home side eased to a comfortable six-wicket victory

Pakistan got rid of Sri Lanka’s batting luminaries without too muchtrouble, but found Chamara Kapugedera and Thilan Samaraweera impossible todislodge as the home side eased to a comfortable six-wicket victory and a2-0 lead in the series. The bowlers had done the hard work earlier,dismissing Pakistan in just 47 overs, and Kapugedera’s sixth ODIhalf-century offered a gentle reminder that there’s more to Sri Lanka’sbatting than the big three in the top order.The bowlers, with Thilan Thushara taking 3 for 33, had reduced Pakistan to87 for 7, but two doughty tailend partnerships lifted them to 168.Mohammad Aamer top-scored with 24, but it was extras that was the largestcontributor (26) as Sri Lanka got a little sloppy in the final stages.They didn’t start well with the bat either, and when Mahela Jayawardenepulled Shahid Afridi to short midwicket, the scoreboard showed 74 for 4.With the game in the balance, Kapugedera and Samaraweera batted with greatcomposure and class to see it home. Samaraweera square-drove superbly,while Kapugedera drove and pulled with immense power. One pull off Afridiwent for six, and he then crashed Umar Gul through cover to get to hishalf-century. By the end, it was just a procession.Sanath Jayasuriya had provided the early impetus, blazing away as only hecan, but the loss of two wickets in an over, one of them to a sillyrun-out, pushed Sri Lanka back. There was another fine spell from the17-year-old Aamer, leaving Jayasuriya to target Abdul Razzaq. He was firstflayed over cover, and then two short deliveries were summarily dismissedwith short-arm pulls. Upul Tharanga was far from comfortable though, andwhen Aamer tempted him into a half-hearted drive, Nasir Jamshed held on atslip.Jayasuriya then survived a strong shout for leg-before from Aamer, beforeGul was greeted with a miscued pull for four. With Kumar Sangakkarastruggling though, the run rate dropped, and a moment of madness betweentwo experienced pros gave Pakistan a route back into the game. Jayasuriyapushed one to mid-off and half-set off, but when he stopped, Sangakkarawas still haring down without looking. Two balls later, Jayasuriya carvedone to deep point, where Umar Akmal held his nerve to hold a difficultcatch.Umar had shown glimpses of class with the bat as well, but like several ofhis team-mates, he couldn’t build on a start. Pakistan had made two changesfrom the side that lost by 36 runs two days earlier, but they starteddisastrously. Jamshed, who had come in along with Umar at the expense ofMohammad Yousuf and Misbah-ul-Haq, sparred at a Nuwan Kulasekara deliverythat was moving away from him, and Jayawardene took a smart catch over hishead at second slip.Kamran Akmal eased a couple of lovely drives in front of the wicket, butany thought of consolidation disappeared as two wickets fell with thescore on 21. First, Kamran edged one that slanted across him forSamaraweera to take an excellent tumbling catch at first slip, and thenShoaib Malik was unfortunate to be given out leg-before after being struckhigh on the pad. Two wickets for Thushara, and Sri Lanka right on top.On a green-tinged pitch where the ball darted around, Younis Khan was inall sorts of strife against Lasith Malinga and it was left to Umar tohighlight his potential with a couple of fluent drives on either side ofthe wicket. But soon after drinks, Sri Lanka struck again, with Umarflailing at a wide one from Angelo Mathews. Sangakkara held on to thatchance, and when Thushara came back for a sixth over and had Fawad Alamtop-edging a cut behind, Pakistan were once again facing acute battingembarrassment.Younis found it tough to turn the strike over, facing 73 balls for his 23,and his dismissal was as tame as the innings itself, chipping MuttiahMuralitharan to midwicket. Afridi was held back, but it didn’t prove asuccessful gambit as a big heave off Murali went only as far as deepsquare leg.Razzaq and Gul kept the bowlers at bay for 10 overs without making a bigdent on the scoreboard, but again, Sri Lanka shut off the escape route.This time, it was brilliant fielding, with Malinga Bandara, the substitutefielder, catching Gul short with a direct hit from gully. Razzaq thenslapped Sanath Jayasuriya to long-on, and it was left to Aamer, who showedimpressive commitment once again, and Saeed Ajmal to steer the side past150. Even in bowler-friendly conditions, it was nowhere near enough.

كشفت صحيفة “عكاظ” السعودية، عن احتمالية صدور حكم جديد من مركز التحكيم الرياضي خلال الأسبوع المُقبل، بعد الاستئناف الذي تقدم به فهد المولد لاعب الاتحاد السابق.

وكان المولد قد تعرض للإيقاف 18 شهرًا بسبب إيجابية عينة المنشطات، وتقدم اللاعب الدولي باستئناف، ومن المتوقع صدور حكم جديد.

وأوضحت الصحيفة أن المولد قدم لمركز التحكيم الرياضي الدفوعات التي تؤكد سلامة موقفه من جراء المادة المحظورة التي تم إيقافه على ضوئها من قبل لجنة المنشطات، رغم التقرير الطبي الذي يؤكد أن المادة عبارة عن دواء صرف له من قبل الطبيب المعالج لحالته الصحية.

وأشارت إلى أن أحد أندية الدوري السعودي يسعى للتعاقد مع المولد؛ الذي انتهى عقده مع الاتحاد؛ وذلك في حال رفع عقوبة الإيقاف عنه من قبل مركز التحكيم الرياضي.

يذكر أن المولد لعب الموسم الماضي مع العميد 22 مباراة في الدوري السعودي، وكأس الملك، وساهم مع زملائه في المنتخب السعودي في التأهل لكأس العالم في قطر 2022.

أوقف نادي برشلونة عملية رحيل مُهاجمه الهولندي ممفيس ديباي، رغم وجود اتفاق بشأن الموافقة على انتقاله إلى صفوف يوفنتوس الإيطالي في نافذة الانتقالات الصيفية.

برشلونة أبلغ ديباي برغبته في الاستغناء عن خدماته، بعد التعاقد مع روبرت ليفاندوفسكي وتواجد أوباميانج وأنسو فاتي، فضلًا عن ضم رافينها وتجديد عقد الفرنسي عثمان ديمبلي.

وذكرت صحيفة “توتو سبورت” الإيطالية أن يوفنتوس توصل إلى اتفاق مع ديباي بالفعل حول الشروط الشخصية للصفقة.

وذكرت الصحيفة أن ديباي طلب من برشلونة السماح له بالرحيل إلى يوفنتوس بالمجان، ولكن برشلونة لم يوافق على ذلك إذ يريد الحصول على أموال من عملية بيعه.

وتواصل وكيل اللاعب مع إدارة برشلونة أيضًا لإنهاء العقد بالتراضي مع دفع إدارة النادي الكتالوني ما تبقي في عقده حيث يحق له الحصول على ثلاثة ملايين يورو إلا أن إدارة البلوجرانا رفضت أيضًا.

ومن جانبها ذكرت صحيفة “سبورت” الكتالونية أن برشلونة لا يريد أن يتحمل أي تكاليف في صفقة ديباي، وربما يوافق النادي على رحيله بالمجان ولكن مقابل عدم مطالبة الهولندي بالجزء المُتبقي من راتبه، أو يقدم يوفنتوس عرضًا لشرائه وهو ما يريد النادي الإيطالي فعله أيضًا.

ديباي لديه اتفاق بالتوقيع لمدة عامين مع يوفنتوس، مع راتب سنوي قدره 5 ملايين يورو، بالإضافة إلى مليون ونصف يورو أخرى كمكافأة.

South Africa stand poised to clinch an unprecedented third consecutive one-day series victory over Australia, but coach Mickey Arthur’s sights are set higher

Alex Brown13-Apr-2009

South Africa clinched an unprecedented third consecutive one-day series victory over Australia, but coach Mickey Arthur’s sights are set higher. As driven as was to seal victory in Port Elizabeth on Monday – thereby seizing and unassailable 3-1 lead heading into the series finale in Johannesburg – Arthur was equally eager to consolidate plans for the World Cup; a prize that has thus far eluded the South Africans.Arthur has begun experimenting with his playing roster ahead of the 2011 tournament, and is excited that his unconventional move to field three spinners – Johan Botha, Roelof van der Merwe and part-timer JP Duminy – has paid dividends against the Australians. Combined, the South African slow bowlers have claimed ten wickets in the series, but more pertinently, have conceded runs at barely four per over for the mostpart.With the next World Cup to be staged on the turning tracks of India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and possibly Pakistan, Arthur is hopeful the move to play three spinners could pay dividends in two years’ time. And with Wayne Parnell forming a youthful and effective pace partnership with Dale Steyn, the South African coach believes he is close to settling on an attack capable of adapting to all conditions.”It’s looking good at the moment” Arthur told Cricinfo prior to the match in Port Elizabeth. “We have changed our brand to a certain degree, with a couple of young players now entering the scene. We have played two spinners – three when you count JP – which could be handy on the subcontinent.”We also have four seamers, which gives Graeme [Smith] seven bowling options, and with Parnell, we bat all the way to No. 10. It’s a very good side. Time will tell how good it can be. We’re happy with the balance we have at the moment, and we’re pretty excited about where this team can go.”South Africa’s 61-run victory at St George’s Park ensured them a unique place in the record books. Smith’s men have become the first team to win three consecutive bi-lateral limited overs series against Australia; a streak that dates back to 2006 and their record 438 run chase at the Wanderers.The South Africans claimed that series 3-2, and the recent five-game set in Australia 4-1. The win in Port Elizabeth not only sealed victory in the return series at home, but also took their tally to six wins from their past seven matches against the Australians and further extended their lead atop the one-day international rankings.”We’re really proud of what we have accomplished,” Arthur said. “We’ve enjoyed the match-up with Australia. It’s been tight and we have been up to challenge almost every time.”

Flocking to Twitter, many Tottenham Hotspur supporters have been left speechless following an update on their attempted pursuit of Wolverhampton Wanderers star Adama Traore.

The Lilywhites targeted Nuno Espirito Santo’s former favourite at Molineux during the latter stages of the summer transfer window, with some reports suggesting that a bid had been lodged.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/spurs-latest-news-2/” title=”Spurs latest news…” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Traore’s price tag dropped by well over half this summer, coming down to €40m (£34.1m) according to Diario AS – a far cry from the €100m (£85.3m) figure mooted by Fabrizio Romano in 2020 (Calciomercato).

However, despite this major discount on a player who completed the most dribbles per game in the Premier League last year, reporter John Percy of The Telegraph (via Tottenham Tiers) has now lifted the lid on a very lowly Spurs summer offer.

Indeed, the reliable reporter claims that Daniel Levy, Fabio Paratici and co lodged an initial bid of just £5m and a loan move for the season, with the offer including no option to buy.

Flocking to this news, which one supporter called ’embarrassing’, it’s safe to say that plenty of Lilywhites have erupted at the club over this apparent offer for the Spain winger.
