Chelsea have done some fantastic business in the transfer window this summer.

The likes of Jorrel Hato, Jamie Gittens and Liam Delap all look like they could be future superstars under Enzo Maresca.

However, the Conference League champions’ best signing so far has been Joao Pedro, who looked spectacular in pre-season and was outstanding against West Ham United last week.

The Brazilian forward looks ready to explode at Chelsea this season, and in even more good news, the club are now close to signing another star who will be unreal alongside him.

Chelsea agree deal to sign brilliant teammate for Pedro

Even though the transfer window is set to close on Monday evening, Chelsea appear intent on making a few more signings.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

For example, despite supposedly holding talks with Tottenham Hotspur, the Blues continue to be linked with Xavi Simons.

Meanwhile, while Aston Villa are reluctant to sell, Morgan Rogers has once again been linked with the West Londoners.

Yet, there is another Premier League star who has been touted for a move to Stamford Bridge perhaps more than any other in recent weeks – a player who now looks set to finally make the move and will be unreal alongside Pedro.

At least that is according to a recent report from The Athletic’s David Ornstein, who has delivered a massive update on the club’s pursuit of Alejandro Garnacho.

The respected journalist has revealed that Chelsea and Manchester United have agreed to a deal worth a fixed £40m plus a 10% sell-on fee.

The young Argentine is scheduled to undergo his medical in London later today, and should that go well, will put pen to paper on a contract until 2032.

It is undoubtedly a significant amount of money to spend on someone so young, but Garnacho is undeniably talented and could be exceptional in this Chelsea side, especially alongside Pedro.

Why Garnacho would be unreal with Pedro

One of the primary reasons Garnacho could be so effective alongside Pedro this season is due to their respective output.

For example, the “superstar” in the making, as dubbed by journalist Liam Canning, scored 11 goals and provided 10 assists in 58 appearances last season, totalling 3568 minutes.

That means he maintained an average of a goal involvement every 2.76 games, or 169.90 minutes, which is really quite impressive considering he was playing in a historically terrible United side and is still just 21.

For his efforts, when you include his performances at the Club World Cup, the former Brighton & Hove Albion star scored 13 goals and provided seven assists in 33 appearances, totalling 2299 minutes, last season.

That comes out to a sensational average of a goal involvement every 1.65 games, or every 114.95 minutes.

When we examine these numbers, it’s clear that, in addition to being effective in front of goal, both players are more than adept at creating chances for their teammates.

In other words, they could form a devastating and unpredictable partnership in which opposition sides will never be too sure who’s going to play provider or finisher at any given moment.

Moreover, with both players being more than comfortable in a few different positions, they’d almost certainly have more opportunities to play together, gain a better understanding of one another’s game, and interchange more effectively over time.

Finally, as both players are still in their early 20s, they will be able to grow and develop together, which should only strengthen their partnership over the coming seasons.

Ultimately, Garnacho is an exciting signing in his own right, but his potential at Chelsea is even higher with Pedro in the team.

Pakistan batter suffered an injury while trying to save a boundary off the second ball of the match

Danyal Rasool19-Feb-2025

Pakistan’s Champions Trophy title defence got off to an inauspicious start, as Fakhar Zaman was forced off the field after two deliveries of their opening game against New Zealand in Karachi.New Zealand opener Will Young drove Shaheen Afridi through the covers to beat the infield, with Zaman setting off in pursuit. He cut it off before palming the ball to Babar Azam to throw it back to the keeper, but immediately appeared to feel discomfort in his lower back or side. He signalled that he needed to be replaced, and went off the field with the physio, though he walked unaided back to the dressing room.”Fakhar Zaman is being assessed and examined for a muscular sprain and further updates will be provided in due course,” the PCB said in a statement shortly after.Fakhar came back on the field after spending a little more than two hours off it, which prevented him from opening Pakistan’s chase of 321. Saud Shakeel opened with Babar Azar and Fakhar only came in at the fall of Mohammed Rizwan in the tenth over. He had been deprived of any batting time with the fielding restrictions in place, when his reputation for power hitting could have come in handy for Pakistan.Almost from the outset, though, it was apparent he would be unable to make that sort of contribution. He was unsteady on his feet and visibly struggling with running between the wickets. On more than one occasion, he slumped to his knees between overs, with the team doctor and physio coming on with painkillers. While he attempted to play the attacking strokes the match situation required with the asking rate ever-rising, it was something of a tortured knock. He managed 24 off 41 before he tried to sweep Michael Bracewell – a shot he a deployed throughout the innings – only to miss completely and see his stumps shattered.Pakistan had been hampered by an injury to Saim Ayub in similar circumstances, one that ultimately kept him out of the Champions Trophy. In a Test against South Africa, he set off in pursuit of a ball to the boundary and ended up twisting his ankle. It resulted in a fracture that will keep him out until at least the middle of March. Fakhar, who until then wasn’t part of Pakistan’s ODI plans, came back into the side as Ayub’s replacement, and made an impressive return, scoring 84 off 69 and 41 off 28 in his first two matches back in the side.Pakistan did, however, get a fitness-related boost before the game with Haris Rauf fit enough to start. He had pulled up with a side strain in the opening game of the triangular series these two sides took part in over the last fortnight along with South Africa. That day had also seen a New Zealand player struck down with injury, when Rachin Ravindra lost the trajectory of a hit while fielding at the boundary, which ended up hitting him flush on the forehead. He needed stitches, and though he trained yesterday and New Zealand have said that he showed no signs of delayed concussion, he did not play against Pakistan. He was seen running drinks to New Zealand’s batters, though.The game marked the return of ICC tournament cricket to Pakistan after 1996, with huge crowds building up outside the National Stadium in Karachi in the hours before the start. The opening ceremony was attended by Pakistan’s president Asif Ali Zardari and had an air force fly-past parade after the toss, which Pakistan won and asked New Zealand to bat.

Selectors will wait to make a call on Marnus Labuschagne’s Test future as Australia brace for a batting squeeze in the World Test Championship final and beyond.It comes as in-form Steven Smith urged selectors to keep the faith in Labuschagne, saying it was not long ago he was in a similar predicament to the faltering No. 3.Related

Labuschagne’s lukewarm form continued in Australia’s 2-0 series defeat of Sri Lanka with scores of 20 and 4 in his first two knocks. He looked to be finding his feet as he made an unbeaten 26 in a 37-run stand with Usman Khawaja that sealed victory in the second Test in Galle on Sunday.But despite that effort and handy half-centuries in Melbourne during the recent India series, Labuschagne has only made one century in his past 51 Test innings. Since the beginning of 2023, Labuschagne has averaged 31.54, well down on the 62.29 he managed across the four calendar years before then.The timing looks unfortunate with a glut of batting options available for the WTC Final against South Africa at Lord’s in June.Cameron Green is set to return to the selection frame as a middle-order option following back surgery, while Josh Inglis impressed with a century on debut in Sri Lanka.Sam Konstas is pushing for a recall after being ousted from the top to facilitate Travis Head’s shift from No.5 and Nathan McSweeney is vying for a first Test in his preferred middle-order spot.”It’s clear that we’ve got some players that have put their hand up, so there is a squeeze,” said coach Andrew McDonald. “Whoever misses out will be very unlucky.”Australia could change their XI around between the WTC Final and the three-match West Indies series that begins later in June. McDonald said it was “highly likely” the squads would be different for the two, but Australia will defer selection calls, including on Labuschagne, until closer to June.”England creates a different challenge and then off to West Indies, which can spin, it can also swing and seam,” McDonald said. “The beauty of it is we’ve got some time before we have to make some decisions.”It’s great to have options. Will they all be fit at that time? Who fits what conditions and when? I think that’s going to be the art of what transpires across the journey.”Smith remains confident Labuschagne is approaching a big score, sceptical about claims his close mate is even out of form. The stand-in captain went as far as to say he had recently been in a similar situation to Labuschagne, feeling at his best despite scores of 0, 17 and 2 to begin the home summer.Smith has since scored centuries in four of five Test matches since those lean figures against India and was player of the series against Sri Lanka.”Marn’s similar to me, in a way,” Smith said. “I’ve said this a lot of times about myself, there’s a difference between being out of form and out of runs. I don’t think he’s out of form, personally. I’ve watched him train, I’ve watched him play and a lot of the things that he’s done so well are there.”He knows he’d love to score more runs, we’d love him to score more runs, but in my opinion, it’s just around the corner.”

O Palmeiras goleou o Bolívar-BOL por 4 a 0, na quinta-feira (30), e garantiu a melhor campanha da fase de grupos da Libertadores. Foi a quinta vez nos últimos seis anos que o Verdão atingiu esse feito. Essa conquista e os números do clube nessas últimas edições não deixam dúvidas: o Alviverde tem sido, com larga vantagem, o melhor brasileiro na fase de grupos da Liberta.

Em 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022 e 2023, o Palmeiras foi o time com a melhor campanha geral da fase de grupos da Libertadores, ficando fora desses status apenas em 2021, quando o Atlético-MG levou a melhor, mas foi eliminado justamente pelo Verdão na semifinal. A eficiência desses resultados chamam a atenção, mas mais do que isso os números mostram que o Alviverde sobra nesses últimos anos.

Ao todo, o Palmeiras fez 36 jogos de fase de grupos e em apenas cinco deles não conseguiu uma vitória. Foram somente dois empates e três derrotas em seis anos, algo muito fora do comum. Os 31 triunfos nesses período também são impressionantes. O brasileiro que mais se aproxima é o Flamengo, com 21 vitórias, além de 11 empates e quatro derrotas. O aproveitamento palmeirense é de incríveis 88% dos pontos disputados (95 dos 108 possíveis). Enquanto o Rubro-Negro tem aproveitamento de 68,5%.

Se essa comparação já parece bastante impressionante, basta ver o número de gols para notar o tamanho do feito do Palmeiras nesses últimos anos. Em 36 jogos de fase de grupo, o Verdão marcou 105 gols, média de 2,92 por jogo. O Flamengo, que vem logo atrás no ranking, marcou 72 tentos em 36 partidas, média de dois por jogo. Números que também chamam a atenção, mas ainda assim menores do que o do Alviverde.

Glasgow Rangers head coach Russell Martin is under plenty of external pressure after a difficult start to his time in the dugout at Ibrox this season, with some noticeable booing and chanting at recent games.

The former Southampton boss has failed to win any of his four Scottish Premiership matches in charge of the Light Blues so far, and failed to qualify for the league phase of the Champions League, losing 9-1 to Club Brugge on aggregate.

There is still plenty of time left to see how things pan out, though, because he had 12 summer signings and it will take time to assess whether they were strong additions or not.

Summer transfer windows can make or break managers, as former Rangers head coach Michael Beale found out in the harshest way in 2023.

Michael Beale's worst Rangers deals

Beale signed eight players on permanent deals in the summer of 2023. Jack Butland is the only one of those eight players who started the club’s most recent game against Celtic.

Danilo was signed for £6m from Feyenoord and he has only scored nine goals in 39 appearances in the Scottish Premiership, missing 53 matches through injury in that time, per Transfermarkt.

Sam Lammers arrived from Atalanta for a fee of £3m in the same window. He scored two goals in 31 games for Rangers, per Transfermarkt, before being sold to FC Twente last year.

First Impressions

What did pundits and fans alike think about their new star signing when they arrived? Football FanCast’s ‘First Impressions’ series has everything you need.

As well as making poor signings, Beale also allowed several quality players to leave the club that summer, including electric forward Ryan Kent.

Michael Beale had a howler with Ryan Kent

Despite working with the English winger as Steven Gerrard’s assistant in the past, Beale was unable to get the best out of the former Liverpool man at Ibrox as the head coach.

Kent played 22 times for the English tactician in all competitions in his last season in Glasgow, but only found the back of the net twice in that time, per Transfermarkt.

The left winger was once described as the “Mbappe of Scottish football” by Specs Gonzalez, whilst speaking on Sky Sports, but he was anything but Mbappe-esque under Beale.

As you can see in the table above, Kent was far more prolific and creative throughout his Rangers career without Beale as his head coach, his output with and without him makes that very clear.

IbroxNoise noted at the time that the English forward’s decline under the former assistant manager was because the system being deployed meant that he had to play as a number ten rather than as a winger.

If asked to picture a Ryan Kent goal or assist for Rangers, most supporters would likely picture him on the left flank, cutting in or getting to the byline. The former being what happened in the clip above.

Beale’s wingerless system did him no favours and that was why it was not a surprise when the forward decided to let his contract run down in the summer of 2023, rather than committing his future to the club with his former Liverpool academy coach in charge.

This meant that Rangers lost Kent, a player once compared to Mbappe, for nothing that summer because their manager did not play a system that got the best out of him.

Instead, Beale played a system that attempted to accomodate the three central players he signed, Danilo, Cyriel Dessers, and Lammers. Only one of those three players remains at Ibrox, Danilo, and he looks set to be a back-up to Bojan Miovski and Youssef Chermiti this season.

Rangers must rue losing star who's worth millions more than Chermiti

Rangers must rue losing this “incredible” star who would now be their most valuable player.

ByDan Emery Sep 6, 2025

Therefore, Beale had a howler with Kent because he did not find a way to get the best out of a player who could have been a huge threat for his side down the left flank, given his return of goals and assists in his career at Rangers prior to the manager’s appointment.

أشاد كيفرين تورام، متوسط ميدان نادي يوفنتوس، بنجم نادي ريال مدريد، موضحًا أن الأخير هو أفضل لاعب في العالم في الوقت الحالي من هذا الموسم.

يوفنتوس يحل ضيفًا على نظيره ريال مدريد مساء اليوم الأربعاء، وذلك لحساب الجولة الثالثة من مرحلة المجموعات في بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا.

ويسعى يوفنتوس إلى الخروج بنتيجة إيجابية أمام ريال مدريد، على الرغم من صعوبة المهمة والتفوق الواضح للفريق الملكي خلال هذا الموسم.

ومن بين اللاعبين الذين سيتعين يوفنتوس الحذر منهم هو كيليان مبابي، والذي يلعب بشكل أكثر من رائع رفقة ريال مدريد منذ بداية هذ الموسم.

مبابي يعتبر نجم ريال مدريد الأول هذا الموسم، حيث سجل 13 هدفًا خلال 11 مباراة مع الميرنجي ويعتمد عليه المدرب تشابي ألونسو دائمًا.

ويرى تورام في تصريحات نقلتها صحيفة سبورت، أن مبابي هو أفضل لاعب في العالم في الوقت الحالي.

وقال تورام عن مبابي: “هو أفضل لاعب في العالم حاليًا، إنه يقدم موسمًا رائعًا وكلنا نعرف أي نوع من اللاعبين هو”.

ويعتقد تورام أن يوفنتوس سوف يلعب مباراة جيدة ضد ريال مدريد، حيث أضاف: “لا يمكنك اللعب بخوف، نحن واثقون ونؤمن بأنفسنا وعلينا فقط أن نخوض المباراة ونفوز، لا نخشى شيئًا ونعلم أننا سنلعب ضد فريق جيد غدًا، ونحن كذلك، نحن واثقون من قدرتنا على تحقيق نتيجة جيدة”.

وحول وضع يوفنتوس الحالي: “لقد تحدثنا وعقدنا اجتماعًا قصيرًا لأنه كان من المهم مناقشة ما يجري، نعلم أن لدينا مدربًا جيدًا ولاعبين أكفاء، علينا فقط فهم ما يجري ومواصلة العمل بنية التحسين يومًا بعد يوم”.

واختتم تورام: “الأمر واضح جدًا، منذ اللحظة التي ندخل فيها الملعب علينا الفوز، يحب الناس الحديث عن المدرب لكن اللاعبين هم من يتخذون القرارات، لدينا ثقة كبيرة بمدربنا ولقد كان دائمًا واضحًا معنا”.

In the latest twist to the tale in Newcastle United’s search for a striker, the Magpies have now launched an enquiry to sign a striker who’s valued at over £60m.

Latest Newcastle striker targets

It’s been a long summer for those at St James’ Park, but one that they’ll be desperate to end on a positive note. Their search for a striker is still ongoing despite endless rejection and new names are now beginning to emerge on their radar. This reportedly includes both Jorgen Strand Larsen and Alexander Sorloth.

The Wolverhampton Wanderers forward is a name that has particularly threatened to steal the headlines amid reports that Newcastle are pushing to secure his signature. Wolves, however, have so far taken the same stance that Brentford have for Yoane Wissa and price their star striker at around the £60m-mark this month.

As a result, Sorloth has also reportedly emerged as an option for Newcastle and Eddie Howe. The Norway international is reportedly keen to leave Atletico Madrid after falling out with Diego Simeone, which could allow the Magpies to swoop in and sign a striker who reached the 20-goal mark in La Liga last season.

Sorloth also has some unfinished business in the Premier League after going down as a transfer flop during his time at Crystal Palace. Years on from that Selhurst Park frustration, he has rebuilt himself into a clinical, towering forward capable of solving Newcastle’s problems.

With less than two weeks until the transfer window slams shut, however, it’s not just Sorloth and Strand Larsen that find themselves on Newcastle’s radar. Reports are now suggesting that they’ve made their first move to sign a £60m+ star.

Newcastle launch enquiry to sign Kolo Muani

According to reports in Italy, as relayed by Sport Witness, Newcastle have now launched an enquiry to sign Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain this month. The forward has looked destined to join Juventus since the start of the summer, but with negotiations yet to reach a breakthrough between the Italian club and PSG, Newcastle have reportedly come swooping in to attempt a potential hijack.

Their answer to Guehi: Newcastle weigh up late move to sign £30m "monster"

Newcastle aren’t just looking at forwards as the transfer window enters the final stretch.

Angus Sinclair

Aug 24, 2025

Reports are claiming that negotiations have gone back and forth between Juventus and PSG due to a gap in what they both believe Kolo Muani is worth. The Turin club reportedly want to sign the Frenchman on loan with an obligation to buy worth €45m (£39m), whilst PSG are only willing to accept that option at €70m (£61m) this month.

Given how far apart both clubs are in their valuations, Newcastle could quickly put their riches to good use and solve their striker problem whilst doing so.

Although Kolo Muani struggled at PSG, he quickly rediscovered his best form on loan at Juventus last season, scoring eight goals in 16 Serie A games. A player who Kylian Mbappe once dubbed “complete”, there’s still every chance that the Frenchman realises his impressive potential.

Mikel Arteta opened up on Viktor Gyokeres' lean patch of form after the Arsenal striker fired another blank against Newcastle United. The Swede, who joined the Gunners from Sporting CP this summer, has netted only three goals in eight appearances across all competitions, and Sunday’s clash saw him stifled by the Magpies' rugged defence.

• Gyokeres carrying the load without Havertz

  Gyokeres has been thrust into an extended run of action due to Kai Havertz’s knee injury, picked up in August. With the German sidelined until later in the season, the Swede has started nearly every game, stepping up under mounting pressure.

  Arteta raves about Gyokeres' character

  Arteta has praised Gyokeres’ work rate, noting that the striker was heavily involved in dangerous situations against Newcastle, even if the final touch just didn’t come off. Gyokeres also kept fighting despite seeing a first-half penalty call overturned after a VAR review.

  “I loved it,” he said. “I absolutely loved how he took it. He went on board, not a single moment when he’s showing frustration. I told him you’re going to get some decisions, some others not. Stand up, you’re going to have two or three players around you in many moments, the ball is in the air and a lot is going to happen.

  “But I loved his reaction, I loved the way he handled the situation emotionally and as well because he was involved in a lot of dangerous moments that he created. He was very much involved in them. It’s a pity that he didn’t score a goal at the end because in my opinion he fully deserved it.”

• Beyond goals: Gyokeres the complete striker

  While goal droughts often draw criticism, Arteta stressed that Gyokeres’ value to the team goes far beyond finishing. He repeatedly creates opportunities, links play, and battles opponents in the air and on the ground. The Arsenal boss hinted that the Swedish forward’s ceiling is still very high.

  “In a really natural and organic way I would say,” he said. “He’s a really confident boy, his work ethic is incredible – the demands that he puts on himself every single day. 

  It’s a joy to work with him, he gives so much to the team and the ceiling is very, very with what he can still give to the team. So, I am very happy with him.”

  Focus shifts to Europe

  Arsenal currently sit second in the Premier League table, keeping pace with leaders Liverpool. However, the Gunners now turn their attention to Europe, facing Olympiacos in the Champions League on Wednesday. It will be another test for Gyokeres to prove he can shine on the continental stage, and Arteta will be hoping his striker’s confidence remains high despite recent blanks.

A janela de transferências fecha no dia 2 de agosto e por conta disso, o São Paulo corre atrás de reforços. No entanto, as últimas semanas vêm sendo de pouca movimentação no mercado da bola pelo Tricolor. Com Copa do Brasil, Sul-Americana e Brasileirão para disputar, o São Paulo pode ver o prazo de inscrições dos torneios se encerrar sem caras novas.

Para a Sul-americana, o São Paulo tem até o dia 29 de julho para fazer mudanças para as oitavas de final, quando terá pela frente o San Lorenzo (ARG), que eliminou o Independiente Medellín (COL) nos playoffs. Vale destacar que as oitavas de final do torneio começam a ser disputadas pouco depois do encerramento da janela brasileira, no dia 2 de agosto. Assim, a Conmebol exige que os clubes entreguem suas listas finais com certa antecedência. 

Já na Copa do Brasil, se quiser ter jogadores novos no jogo de ida da semifinal, contra o Corinthians, o São Paulo tem até a próxima terça-feira (25) para publicar nomes no Boletim Informativo Diário (BID) da CBF. Somente com os nomes no sistema, eles estarão liberados para jogar.

No Brasileirão a situação é mais tranquila, mas tem duas datas diferentes para encerrar o período de inscrições. Vale lembrar que, antes da primeira rodada do campeonato, os clubes precisaram enviar uma lista de, no mínimo, 35 jogadores inscritos para a CBF. O São Paulo inscreveu na primeira lista 36 nomes.

Até o dia 25 de agosto, o Tricolor pode inscrever mais 14 jogadores no Campeonato Brasileiro, totalizando 50 nomes na lista, que é o limite imposto pelo regulamento. Caso queira substituir algum integrante, o São Paulo terá até o dia 15 de setembro para trocar no máximo oito atletas. Vale destacar que caso algum jogador atue por mais de seis jogos pela Série A, ele não pode mais jogar a competição por outro clube.

Late blows from Abdul Samad and Ayush Badoni dragged Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to 171 for 7 on a two-paced, red-soil pitch after Punjab Kings (PBKS) had opted to bowl in IPL 2025.Such a competitive total seemed beyond LSG’s reach after Arshdeep Singh, Lockie Ferguson, who had replaced Azmatullah Omarzai, and Glenn Maxwell had carved up their top order. At the end of the powerplay, LSG were 39 for 3. Maxwell had just dismissed LSG captain Rishabh Pant for 2 off 5 balls with an innocuous delivery. LSG, however, offset the early slide by taking 63 off the last six overs of their innings.While Badoni anchored their innings with 41 off 33 balls, Samad kicked into top gear right away, smacking 27 off 12 balls, including two sixes and two fours. Samad left jaws on the door when he reverse-scooped Arshdeep over the keeper for four in the 18th over, which cost PBKS 20 runs. Arshdeep bounced back to dismiss both Badoni and Samad in the final over, but the pair had done enough to repair the innings.Arshdeep had also started well earlier in the evening, snaring Mitchell Marsh for a golden duck. His opening partner Aiden Markram moved to 28 off 18 balls before Ferguson bowled him via an inside edge. PBKS then matched Maxwell up with Pant and got him cheaply too.A cat-and-mouse game then ensued between Nicholas Pooran and Yuzvendra Chahal. When the wristspinner looped a couple of wrong’uns away from Pooran’s reach in his first over, the batter carved those away for fours. In his next over, though, Chahal cut Pooran’s innings short at 44 off 30 balls with a loopier googly. LSG were 89 for 4 in the 12th over at that point. Samad and Badnoni then got together in the end overs to help push that total past 170.
