da heads bet： Newcastle United have now reportedly been offered the opportunity to finally sign James Trafford in a deal that would see Tino Livramento head in the opposite direction to Manchester City.

da poker： The Magpies certainly have a lot to think about ahead of 2026. With new sporting director Ross Wilson in place, they’ll be hoping to avoid the chaos of missing out on top targets to hand Eddie Howe some much-needed reinforcements.

There have been whispers of a potential managerial change at Newcastle after a poor start to the season.

Howe’s side enter this weekend’s clash against Man City in desperate need of three points, having entered the international break off the back of a shock 3-1 defeat at the hands of Brentford. Currently sat as low as 14th in the Premier League, the Newcastle boss reiterated that he’s looking for a response from his players on Saturday night.

There would be no better way to get back on track than a victory against a side with Man City’s quality, but then it’s about consistency for the Magpies. On the pitch, they must turn things around in preparation for what could be a busy January transfer window.

Already, reports are claiming that they’re still interested in signing Trafford and could be handed an interesting opportunity to do so in 2026.

Newcastle offered chance to sign James Trafford

As reported by TeamTalk, Newcastle have now been offered the chance to sign Trafford by Man City, who are looking to strike a swap deal involving Livramento. The Citizens were interested in the versatile right-back in the summer, but were priced out of a move thanks to the Magpies’ eye-watering £80m price-tag.

Now, just months later, it looks as though City are once again interested in a move for the England international and are already willing to cut ties with Trafford to make a move happen.

The shot-stopper returned to the club with the hope of finally becoming their number one, only for Gianluigi Donnarumma’s arrival to bring an end to those plans. Left to watch on from the bench ever since, he could certainly do with another call from those in Tyneside.

That said, whilst Newcastle’s admiration for Trafford is clear, it remains to be seen whether he’s valued higher than Livramento in Tyneside. The goalkeeper has been described as “incredible” by Pep Guardiola, but even that may not be enough to convince Newcastle to sacrifice their star defender.

Eyeing Championship promotion at the second time of asking, the 49ers have reportedly joined the race to sign a defensive reinforcement that Leeds United chiefs have been keeping tabs on.

Leeds transfer news

The Whites took full advantage of Sunderland’s slip this weekend to close the gap on the Black Cats to just two points in pursuit of automatic promotion. Goals from Jayden Bogle and substitute Joel Piroe ensured that the Yorkshire club eased to a fairly comfortable victory over Queens Park Rangers in the end to return to winning ways following mid-week defeat against Millwall.

That victory comes at a much-needed time following a reported reshuffle behind the scenes at Elland Road, leading to the departures of both technical director Gretar Steinsson and Jordan Miles in the last few days. Eyeing promotion, Leeds will hope that change away from the action doesn’t have an impact on the form of Daniel Farke’s side.

With a place in the Premier League in mind, meanwhile, the Yorkshire club have seemingly set their sights on an in-demand defender. According to Graeme Bailey for The Boot Room, the Leeds are in the race to sign Archie Brown, who club chiefs have been keeping tabs on in recent months.

The Whites aren’t alone in their interest in the KAA Gent defender, however, with Chelsea big admirers of the former Derby County man and West Ham, Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham and Brentford all watching Brown this season.

What Leeds could offer over the Premier League sides is crucial game time for Brown, who won’t want to settle for a place on the bench after earning such interest whilst at Gent. In a busy race to sign the defender, Leeds may well emerge to welcome Brown back to English football for the first time since 2020.

"Complete" Brown has crucial versatility

Whether Leeds find themselves in the Premier League this time next season or, indeed, fighting for promotion once again in the Championship, depth will be the key to any success. And Brown’s versatility would add exactly that. Naturally a left-back, the 22-year-old can also play left-midfield and centre-back to potentially offer Farke cover for Junior Firpo over Sam Byram as well as a back-up for Joe Rodon and Pascal Struijk.

Impressive at Gent, Brown instantly earned the praise of the Belgium club’s former head of scouting Samuel Cardenas, who told their official website following the defender’s arrival: “Archie is a player we followed last season in the Swiss 2nd division. He first played as a central defender and then quickly switched to the left-back position. For us, he is an option in both positions.

“Archie has all the qualities to succeed here: he is a complete player, fast, athletic, a solid defender and technically very strong with dynamism and attacking impulses.”

Still just 22 years old, the former Derby defender could yet come back to haunt his former club by joining fellow Championship side Leeds in 2025.

All things considered, it’s been a good start to the season for Arsenal this year.

Mikel Arteta’s side look as defensively resolute as ever, are that bit more potent going forward, and most importantly of all, sit one point clear of Liverpool atop the Premier League table.

However, it has not been the perfect start, and one of the main reasons why is yet more injuries to important first-teamers, such as Martin Odegaard.

The Norwegian had to come off before half-time against West Ham United for the third league game on the bounce before the international break, and will be out of action with an MCL injury until midway through next month at the earliest.

Yet, it’s not all doom and gloom, as, thanks to his squad, Arteta now has a few options to replace the talented number eight, including one slightly unorthodox one involving an international in red-hot form.

Why Odegaard will be such a miss

With recent updates making it clear that Odegaard will be out of action for at least another month, it’s easy to understand why some fans would be worried.

After all, while he had a poor season last year, he was named the club’s Player of the Year for the two campaigns prior, and is undoubtedly one of the most talented players in the squad.

For example, when he is at his best, the Drammen-born maestro is someone who can collect the ball from deeper areas of the pitch, glide past a player or two and deliver a brilliant pass for someone to finish.

Moreover, while it wasn’t on show last year, the former Real Madrid gem has a lethal shot, making him a dual threat, as evidenced by his 41 goals and 40 assists in just 205 appearances for the club.

Finally, even though it wasn’t a particularly large sample size, the 26-year-old international was starting to get back to his best in the last few games.

He helped to change the game against Newcastle United, and then against Olympiacos, he could have had a handful of assists, given the number of chances he created.

The left-footed dynamo was also looking good against the Hammers before he was forced off.

In short, it’s hard not to see Odegaard’s absence as a significant setback for Arsenal, but Arteta does have a few options to choose from when it comes to replacing him, including one international.

The Arsenal player who could replace Odegaard

When thinking of possible solutions to Odegaard’s injury, the name that’ll likely come to most fans first is Eberechi Eze.

Chalkboard

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

After all, the Englishman played in midfield for Crystal Palace last season and has been in good form domestically and internationally over recent weeks.

However, while playing the 27-year-old in place of the Norwegian could well work, it would leave Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard as the only options on the left, and neither one has impressed when starting this season.

So, another option Arteta could take is starting Mikel Merino in place of the club captain.

Now, this might not be the most popular idea, as some could view it as more of a defensive solution, but that does not have to be the case, as if the last year has shown anything, it’s that the former Real Sociedad star is a real goal threat.

For example, his headed goal against Newcastle United was his seventh Premier League strike in 2025, and impressively, that is two clear of Martinelli, who is the club’s second top scorer in the competition in the calendar year.

As if that isn’t enough, the Spaniard has also scored two goals and provided three assists in the Champions League last season, and has been on fire for La Roja this year.

In eight games for the European Champions, the 6 foot 2 titan has scored eight goals and provided one assist, which is a run of form that has seen his manager, Luis de la Fuente, claim he is “on the same level as Pedri and Rodri.”

So, with all that said, it might well be worth Arteta playing him in a more attacking midfield role over the coming weeks, giving him license to arrive late in the box or even act at times as a second striker to Viktor Gyokeres.

If the Pamplona-born star can replicate some of his international form for the club, fans might quickly view his inclusion in the midfield as an attacking decision, not a defensive one.

Ultimately, the manager has the squad to try a few different things over the next month or so, but based on his output and clear threat, Merino deserves a chance to cover for Odegaard.

The incredible Arsenal gem could become Mikel Arteta’s future Bukayo Saka replacement.

Move to 12/6 conference-style Championship also favoured by players’ union

ESPNcricinfo staff18-Jul-2025The Professional Cricketers’ Association (PCA) has called for a reduction in both County Championship and Men’s T20 Blast games, urging county chairs and CEOs to “prioritise the welfare” of players ahead of a vote on restructuring the domestic game from 2026 onwards.A majority of male county cricketers in England and Wales favour reducing the number of Championship games played from 14 to 12, according to data collected by the PCA. The players’ union is also recommending a cut to the Blast schedule to help ease the number of back-to-back fixtures which it believes put players at risk.Players would also back a proposed move to a conference system for the Championship with a 12/6 split – two upper divisions of six above a lower division of six, with promotion and relegation as well as a grand final between the conference winners.Related

PCA reiterates fatigue concerns ahead of county domestic review

Reduced County Championship on agenda for latest domestic review

England allrounder Chris Woakes, the PCA’s England Men’s representative, said the call for change was not about playing “less cricket because they don’t want to – it’s about being able to produce the best cricket on the field as possible”.”Welfare is extremely important and not just players but coaches and staff,” he said. “We need to get the scheduling right to give players the time to prepare, recover and make sure they’re in the best state physically and mentally.”The game is now played at a greater intensity and faster rate, especially in white-ball cricket. When you’re having to play back-to-back games it’s almost impossible to be at 100%. Having gaps between games and with safe travel is very important.”The ECB announced on the eve of the new season a review into the domestic structure – the third in the last seven years – overseen by the Professional Game Committee. Consultation has been ongoing, with a vote on the proposals expected later this month.Recently, a number of counties have begun making their preferences public: Surrey and Somerset have called for maintaining 14 Championship games, with a return to eight teams in Division One and 10 in Division Two; Durham and Lancashire support the 12/6 conference plan, while Middlesex have backed sticking with the Championship as is, with two divisions and 10 teams in the top tier.The PCA expressed concerns about the current schedule at the start of the summer, saying 83% of respondents to a survey cited physical concerns over their workload and 67% called the fixture list detrimental to their mental health.Olly Hannon-Dalby, PCA chair, suggested that “a change in format of the County Championship to 12 league games is the only reasonable option” and that it would “breathe new life” into the competition.”We are at a critical moment regarding the future of professional cricketers in England and Wales,” he said. “The schedule has always been a contentious issue and we have seen too many reviews with no change but the feeling in recent seasons due to ever-increasing intensity of fixtures has led the game to a position where positive action has to be taken immediately and as an opportunity for the game to grow.”We understand the process is not straightforward and all counties have their own prerogative, however, the game needs to come to a consensus on a way forward to prioritise a duty of care to its players who are asking for reform, not just for their own health but also for an improved product on the field.”We have over 400 male players and we recognise the different career paths available … to protect the majority, a change in format of the County Championship to 12 league games is the only reasonable option and would breathe new life into what I believe would become the best red-ball competition in the world.”Daryl Mitchell, the PCA’s chief executive, said: “Cricket has always been an incredibly innovative sport and relaunching the Blast and Championship with an optimum schedule would see clubs, supporters and players benefit from being involved in world-leading domestic cricket.”We have been pleased the consultation has provided space for player views to be heard and there is a consensus that back-to-back Blast games need to be drastically eased with the aim for the competition to change to 12 regional group games.”With the One Day Cup to stay alongside The Hundred, the congestion of the intense schedule cannot be improved enough by losing two 20-over games across a six-month season alone.”As employers, every county needs to understand the player concerns while looking at the positive outcome a 12/6 split would have in the Championship. The welfare of the players should be at the heart of the decision-making process and we urge all county Chairs and CEOs to consider this when taking their vote.”Ultimately, the right decision would serve to future-proof our game with clarity and commitment to a new era.”

– A vitória de 5 a 0 do Palmeiras, que foi o começo de aparentemente uma retomada impossível (e agora histórica) sobre uma equipe do Botafogo que tinha um recorde de pontos do primeiro turno do Brasileirão, após 14 vitórias em 17 jogos, foi manipulada.

Tottenham Hotspur has been the home to numerous top-level talents over recent years, with the hierarchy nailing the club’s recruitment strategy.

Big money has undoubtedly been splashed to improve their squad as of late, but many of their additions have been worthwhile and have improved the options already in North London.

Eyebrows were raised when Brennan Johnson joined the Lilywhites, with the board forking out £47.5m to secure his services from fellow Premier League side Nottingham Forest.

His early days were tricky to say the least, leading to abuse from sections of the fanbase, but he’s endured a magnificent rise that saw him end last season as the club’s top-scorer, even netting the winner in the Europa League final.

At just 24, he has bags of time to build on his impressive start to life in North London, potentially following in the footsteps of one of his compatriots at the club.

Gareth Bale’s time at Tottenham Hotspur

Winger Gareth Bale will go down as one of Spurs’ best-ever players after his impact during his time in the first team, starring for the Lilywhites on two separate occasions.

The Welsh international originally featured at left-back, before his hat-trick against Inter Milan in the Champions League catapulted him into a forward role – one that would change his career trajectory massively.

He registered 71 goals during his two stints in North London, with 26 of his efforts coming in the 2012/13 season, leading to his eventual £85m move to European giants Real Madrid.

However, he returned in the 2020/21 campaign on loan from the LaLiga side, scoring 16 times in his 34 appearances – being one of three players to register double figures that campaign.

The Welshman became renowned for his ability to cut inside onto his stronger left foot, often creating a moment of magic that allowed supporters to get off their seats.

Current boss Thomas Frank must wish he had a player of his quality currently at his disposal, potentially having just that had former chairman Daniel Levy kept hold of one talent.

The former Spurs player who could’ve been Frank’s own Bale

As previously mentioned, Spurs have shifted their attention to recruiting younger talents in recent months – a strategy that allows the club to have players to make an immediate and long-term impact in North London.

Ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, the Lilywhites first-team squad currently has an average age of 25.1 – the fourth youngest in the division – with Frank able to develop the players into the side he desires.

Their starting eleven against Bournemouth last weekend contained just one player over the age of 29, which hugely highlights the current recruitment operation in North London.

Such a focus has been evident in the past, when the hierarchy decided to fork out £25m for the signature of 18-year-old Ryan Sessegnon from Fulham back in 2019.

Despite his tender age, he racked up over 100 appearances for the Cottagers, scoring 25 times, leading to his big-money move to North London – similar to that of Bale from Southampton in 2007.

Both possessed a similar style of play, subsequently able to operate in any position down the left-hand side or even able to feature in any attacking position on the opposite flank.

Such a move generated huge excitement within the fanbase, but it’s safe to say that the move was slightly unsuccessful, with injuries massively plaguing his time at the club.

Sessegnon, who was labelled an “incredible” talent by Jacek Kulig, only made 57 appearances over a five-year spell at the Lilywhites, with numerous hamstring issues preventing him from making an impact.

The 25-year-old racked up three goals during such a time period, but was let go at the end of his contract in 2024, rejoining former side Fulham on a free transfer last summer.

Whilst there’s no denying he didn’t possess the same talent as Bale, his playstyle was similar to that of the Lilywhites legend – but ultimately struggled to demonstrate that on a regular basis.

It’s a shame such a move failed to work out, but Frank missed out on the opportunity to try and work with the Englishman, with Sessegnon forever remaining a case of what could’ve been in North London.
