Tottenham Hotspur have enjoyed huge success in the transfer window over recent seasons, with their work massively contributing to their Europa League triumph last campaign.

Brennan Johnson scored the winner in the final against Manchester United back in May, topping off what was a fine individual season for the Welsh international.

He netted 18 goals in his 51 appearances for the Lilywhites throughout 2024/25, with his £47.5m transfer from Nottingham Forest now somewhat of a bargain given his success in the side.

However, whilst boss Thomas Frank has already completed multiple shrewd pieces of business by landing Mohammed Kudus, Joao Palhinha and Mathys Tel – the new boss undoubtedly wants further additions to bolster his squad.

Numerous players have been touted with moves to North London throughout the ongoing transfer window, but one saga has been a huge talking point in recent days.

Spurs’ failed saga to land Eberechi Eze this summer

Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze has been a huge target for Spurs over the last couple of months, with constant talks being held between the two sides over a £60m transfer.

At one stage, it appeared as though a deal would be completed without any fuss, even leading to the player himself being keen on a move to join Frank’s side for the 2025/26 campaign and beyond.

However, after talks which lasted around a fortnight, no deal was completed – subsequently handing North London rivals Arsenal an open-goal opportunity to land the 27-year-old’s signature.

Mikel Arteta’s men gratefully accepted, strolling into negotiations, and reaching a total agreement with the player and the Eagles – leading to a £60m up-front transfer fee being accepted.

It’s been reported by numerous sources that Eze is expected to complete his medical and be announced as an Arsenal player in the coming days – rubbing salt into the wounds of all associated with the Lilywhites.

Other targets will now have to be drawn up to avoid a complete disaster this summer, but the club do already have a hugely talented player on the books – one who’s valued more than Eze at present.

The Spurs player who’s worth more than Eze

As previously mentioned, Spurs have conducted some excellent business over the last few seasons – with not all of the work completed by the hierarchy negative in recent times.

Alongside Johnson, talents such as Pape Sarr have also showcased that they’ve been worthwhile investments, massively exceeding the expectations placed upon him after his move to North London.

The Senegalese star joined the Lilywhites from French side Metz back in the summer of 2022 after spending an additional year on loan at the side he started his professional career with.

However, in the last couple of years, he’s become an influential part of the first-team, racking up over 100 appearances for the Lilywhites – scoring nine times, including in the season opener against Burnley.

He’s not the only first-team member who’s endured somewhat of a rise in recent months, with Archie Gray another player on the books who possesses a whole heap of potential.

Eyebrows were raised last summer when owner Daniel Levy forked out £40m for the 19-year-old’s signature – especially after he had just ended his only previous year as a professional with Leeds United the season prior.

Given his tender age, he found consistent minutes hard to come by, racking up 46 appearances across all competitions – many of which were in unfamiliar roles such as right-back and central defence.

However, Gray, who’s been labelled “unbelievable” by teammate Kevin Danso, was rewarded with a start in his natural central midfield position against Burnley last week, highlighting the trust new boss Frank has in the youngster.

Whilst he’s been limited as to how much he can showcase his talents in recent months, he’s still seen his market value soar since his arrival, now being valued at £61.5m by FootballTransfers.

Such a figure is higher than that of Eze, with the Palace star expected to cost £60m before his subsequent transfer to join Frank’s side fell apart in recent days.

It’s easy for the fanbase to lose faith in the ownership, understandably so, given the recent failure to land new talent and back the new manager.

However, it’s evident that the deals they have completed in recent years have been a success, with faith needed to put in the owner to find another top talent before the window slams shut.

تحدث كبير كتاب كرة القدم في شبكة “بي بي سي” العالمية عن مستوى نجم فريق ليفربول، محمد صلاح، رفقة كتيبة آرني سلوت في الموسم الحالي، 2025/26.

ويعيش ليفربول فترة صعبة بعدما تعرض الفريق لثلاث هزائم متتالية، بواقع اثنتين في الدوري الإنجليزي أمام كريستال بالاس وتشيلسي، وواحدة في دوري أبطال أوروبا ضد جالطة سراي.

ويتعرض محمد صلاح للكثير من الانتقادات في الفترة الحالية، كونه لم يقدم الأداء المتوقع منه، منذ بداية الموسم في أغسطس الماضي وحتى الآن.

وسُئل كبير كتاب كرة القدم في شبكة “بي بي سي” العالمية، فيل ماكنولتي، عن محمد صلاح ومستواه الحالي وما إذا كان لاعباً لا يُستغنى عنه.

ورد: “لقد شاهدت جميع مباريات ليفربول هذا الموسم، باستثناء مباراة كأس كاراباو ضد ساوثهامبتون، وعلى الرغم من جميع الانتصارات التي حققوها في البداية، لم يبدو الفريق مرضيًا منذ اليوم الأول”.

وأضاف: “أعتقد أن ضم هذا العدد الكبير من اللاعبين يعني أن الأمر يستغرق وقتًا من أجل التأقلم، مهما كانت جودتهم، لكن التوازن لا يبدو مناسبًا مع تواجد فلوريان فيرتز خلف المهاجمين”.

وواصل: “بدا ليفربول أكثر عرضة للخطر، كما لم يساعده أداء إبراهيما كوناتي الضعيف ووجود ظهيرين جديدين ذوي نزعة هجومية قوية، وهما جيريمي فريمبونج وميلوس كيركيز”.

واسترسل: “هل محمد صلاح لا يُستغنى عنه؟ حسنًا، قليل من اللاعبين لا يمكن الاستغناء عنهم في مرحلة ما من مسيرتهم المهنية، ولا شك أنه لم يكن على طبيعته هذا الموسم، لا تنسوا أيضًا أنه في الثالثة والثلاثين من عمره، ولكن نادرًا ما يتراجع مستوى اللاعبين العالميين فجأة، كما أنني لن أعرض فكرة إنه سيقدم مساهمة كبيرة لـ ليفربول مرة أخرى هذا الموسم”.

واسترسل: “هل سيقرر سلوت إخراجه من التشكيل أحيانًا؟ نعم، أتصور ذلك، كما فعل أمام جالطة سراي الأسبوع الماضي”.

وفيما إذا كانت صفقة فلوريان فيرتز فاشلة، قال: “من المبكر للغاية الحكم على ذلك، أدائه مخيب للآمال حتى الآن، لا شك في ذلك، لكنه يلعب في فريق يمر بمرحلة انتقالية مكلفة للغاية ولم يكن في أفضل حالاته على الإطلاق، على الرغم من تصدره الدوري الإنجليزي في الأسابيع الأولى”.

واختتم: “هو يعتاد على لاعبي ليفربول وهم يعتادون عليه، من الخطأ دائمًا إصدار أحكام متسرعة كهذه، وأعتقد أن فيرتز – سواءً كان مقابل 116 مليون جنيه إسترليني أم لا – يستحق وقتًا أطول بكثير قبل إصدار أي حكم، وخاصة الحكم بأنه فاشل، لا يزال الوقت مبكرًا جدًا”.

As the transfer deadline looms, Everton are once again at the centre of speculation.

The Toffees have been among the more proactive Premier League sides this summer, with David Moyes overseeing a rebuild designed to inject both quality and long-term stability into the squad.

Jack Grealish’s high-profile switch from Manchester City dominated headlines, and he wasted little time in making his mark at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, registering two assists on his competitive debut in a 2-0 win over Brighton.

Everton backed up that performance with a comfortable 2-0 EFL Cup victory over Mansfield Town, further raising optimism among supporters.

Despite those encouraging results, Everton’s league campaign began with a setback – a narrow 1-0 defeat away at Leeds United.

That loss underlined the need for further reinforcements if the club are to mount a genuine push into the top half of the Premier League.

Everton looking to sign another English talent

Moyes has already welcomed the likes of Thierno Barry, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Tyler Dibling into his squad, yet midfield remains an area of focus.

With Abdoulaye Doucouré departing earlier in the summer, a vacancy exists in the heart of Everton’s team.

The Toffees have been linked with a possible reunion between Moyes and Tomas Souček, but there is also a strong suggestion that another deal could be in the works – one that could see Everton land a player reminiscent of club stalwart Gareth Barry.

According to Football Insider, Everton are one of several Premier League clubs weighing up a late move for Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney.

The 23-year-old has told his boyhood club that he would consider leaving if a top-flight opportunity presents itself before the window shuts. Crystal Palace and West Ham are also monitoring developments.

Hackney, described by analyst Ben Mattinson as a “special player,” has been integral to Middlesbrough’s perfect start under new manager Rob Edwards, playing every minute of their three consecutive Championship victories.

He has already contributed a goal and an assist this season, showcasing his ability to influence matches in the final third.

Why Hackney evokes memories of Gareth Barry

For Hackney, the chance to step up into the Premier League could be a natural next step in a career that has already seen him capped 13 times at England U21 level, including as part of the squad that retained the European Championship this summer.

Marketed at around £10m by Transfermarkt, the youngster would represent an affordable option compared with some of Everton’s other recent investments.

That figure is particularly notable when set against the £42m the club committed to sign winger Dibling from Southampton earlier this week – a move that underlined Moyes’ determination to secure the best emerging English talent.

For Everton fans, however, Hackney’s potential arrival carries echoes of one of the club’s most successful midfield signings of the Premier League era: Gareth Barry.

Like Barry, Hackney is a technically accomplished left-footed midfielder who thrives in dictating tempo, recycling possession, and providing a calm platform for more attacking players to flourish.

Statistically, his numbers suggest a player already capable of making the step-up.

According to FBref, he ranks favourably compared to midfielders in similar divisions to the Championship, sitting in the 99th percentile for progressive passes per 90 (9.92) and the 91st percentile for shot-creating actions (3.80) among players in leagues of Championship equivalence.

His ability to move the ball forward – whether through incisive passing or by carrying possession himself (97th percentile for progressive carries) – highlights his suitability for Moyes’ system, which increasingly relies on controlled build-up from deep.

Defensively, Hackney also contributes, sitting in the 82nd percentile for blocks (1.54 per 90), which demonstrates an ability to screen effectively and disrupt opposition attacks.

This blend of on-ball quality and off-ball responsibility is precisely what made Barry such a valuable figure during his time at Goodison Park.

The contrast with Everton’s other major summer signing, Dibling, is instructive.

Whereas Dibling’s profile – marked by elite percentile rankings for dribbles attempted (5.28), fouls drawn (2.49), and dribblers tackled (61.5%) – reflects the skillset of an explosive wide player, Hackney offers a quieter but equally crucial influence.

He would provide structure and control from midfield, knitting phases of play together and giving Everton stability in possession.

This dual-pronged approach of flair on the flanks combined with composure and tempo in midfield is central to Moyes’ vision of a balanced squad.

Hackney would not only cover the void left by Doucouré’s departure but also give Everton something they have lacked in recent years: a metronomic midfielder capable of dictating rhythm against stubborn opponents.

Much like Barry did during his four-year spell at the club, Hackney could serve as the understated yet indispensable figure around whom others operate.

His consistency at Middlesbrough – 43 appearances last season, contributing five goals and three assists – shows a player with the reliability and endurance to take on such a role at the top level.

With a market value of £10m, Hackney represents both a relatively low-risk and potentially transformative addition.

His signing would also reinforce Everton’s emerging identity as a club investing in technically proficient English players who could form the core of the team for years to come.

With the window set to close on Monday, Everton must act swiftly if they are to secure Hackney’s signature ahead of their rivals.

For the player himself, the lure of the Premier League and the chance to develop under Moyes could prove decisive.

انتقد الإعلامي أحمد شوبير تصريحات مسؤول الزمالك، التي أثارت جدلًا واسعًا خلال الساعات الماضية، معتبرًا أن تصريحاته غير موفقة وتسيء إلى كيان كبير بحجم القلعة البيضاء.

وقال شوبير في تصريحات عبر برنامجه الإذاعي صباح اليوم: “تعالوا نراجع معًا تصريحات الأستاذ حسام المندوه الحسيني، أمين صندوق نادي الزمالك، أولًا وثانيًا وثالثًا، حضرتك عندما تظهر في برنامج تلفزيوني، عليك أن تنتبه جيدًا لمن تجلس أمامه، وكيف ستتحدث، وأن تحدد أهدافك من الحوار، لأن هذا أمر في غاية الأهمية”.

وتابع: “كما أقول دائمًا: هناك مذيع طيب، ومذيع مهني، ومذيع خبيث، وآخر يحب الإيقاع بالضيف أو يبحث عن اللقطة، هذا أمر موجود في كل مكان، سواء كان المذيع رجلًا أو إمرأة، الإعلام بطبيعته هكذا، والناس تصنّف بعضها البعض كما تشاء، فهناك من يُقال عنه إنه مهني، وآخر إنه خبيث، أو أنه باحث عن اللقطات، وهذه التصنيفات تختلف من شخص لآخر، لذلك يجب أن تكون حذرًا في حديثك دائمًا”.

وأضاف: “كذلك، هناك نوع من الضيوف السهل التعامل معه، تقول له مثلًا: “إزيّك؟” فيبدأ بسرد كل شيء دون تحفظ، وهؤلاء لا يحتاجون إلى مذيع من أي نوع، لأنهم ببساطة يسلمون أنفسهم بالكلام دون وعي، ولذلك يجب على كل شخص أن ينتبه لما يقوله”.

وواصل: “بصراحة، تصريحات الأستاذ حسام المندوه الحسيني لم تعجبني على الإطلاق، خاصة قوله إن الزمالك كان مريضًا والآن يموت، أولًا، الزمالك لم ولن يموت أبدًا، وأطمئنك وأطمئن جمهور الزمالك العظيم، فالأندية الكبيرة والكيانات العريقة مثل نادي الزمالك لا تموت، قد تمر بوعكة، أو أزمة، أو تعب مؤقت، لكنها لا تموت أبدًا، تصريحك هذا جانبه الصواب تمامًا”.

وشدد: “ثم خرجتَ في اليوم التالي لتقول إن كلامك فُهم بشكل خاطئ، وإنك كنت تقصد توضيح حجم الأزمة المالية التي يمر بها النادي حاليًا، وليس المعنى الحرفي لكلمة يموت، لكن يا أستاذ حسام، أنت من قلت هذا الكلام، ولسنا نحن من نسبه إليك، فلا مجال هنا لسوء الفهم، فعبارتك كانت واضحة وصريحة”.

واستمر: “قلتَ أيضًا إنك أردت توضيح الحقائق لجماهير الزمالك، ولم ترغب في تجميل الصورة، بل في عرض الواقع الصعب الذي يعيشه النادي، ودعوة المسؤولين للتدخل بعد سحب أرض الزمالك في أكتوبر، مشيرًا إلى أن هناك تبرعات من محبي النادي وأعضاء مجلس الإدارة، وأن استعادة أرض أكتوبر تمثل الأمل الحقيقي للنادي، وأن بدونها ستستمر الأزمات”.

وأكد: “كنت ببساطة تستطيع أن تقول هذا الكلام منذ البداية، دون الحاجة إلى عبارة الزمالك بيموت، لأنك في النهاية تمثل منصبًا رسميًا داخل مجلس إدارة النادي، وتصريحاتك تُحسب على الكيان كله، لذلك، كان تصريحك غير موفق على الإطلاق وجانبه الصواب تمامًا”.

واختتم: “وبغضّ النظر عن محاولات التوضيح بعد ذلك، فالمعنى كان واضحًا، ما قلته فُهم كما هو، لدينا في مصر أمر غريب، لا أحد يخرج ليعتذر ويقول: أنا آسف، تصريحي كان خطأ، كنت أقصد كذا وكذا، الاعتذار ليس عيبًا ولا حرامًا أبدًا، بل هو شجاعة واحترام للجمهور”.

Faltum, 25, has yet to play international cricket but is coming off a strong season for WBBL champions Renegades and captained the Governor-General’s XI against England in January. She beat out Tahlia Wilson and Maddy Darke for the New Zealand tour.”We just see Nic slightly ahead of the others, particularly for the T20 format,” Australia chief selector Shawn Flegler told reporters. “It’s really unlikely that she will play. Obviously, Beth will take the gloves for this tour and she did a really good job during the Ashes replacing Alyssa.”But we just thought it was a great opportunity for Nicole to come in and be around the group, train with them and get to see the environment first hand.”Healy, who turns 35 in March, was not named in the squad due to the stress fracture in her right foot. She missed the T20I portion of the Women’s Ashes and had to prove her fitness for the MCG Test before playing as a specialist middle-order batter.Healy had ruptured her plantar fascia in her foot at the T20 World Cup in October last year which saw her miss Australia’s final group match and the semi-final against South Africa. She also suffered a knee injury in the early stages of the WBBL which meant she missed the remainder of the season and the subsequent ODI series against India.Healy had to skip the ongoing Women’s Premier League, but a return to the field could take place at the women’s Hundred ahead of an ODI series in India in September that runs straight into the World Cup.”My understanding is that there’s no doubt that she’ll get through to the World Cup, that’s for sure,” Flegler said. “She’s had a complicated last couple of years with some different injuries that’s been related to foot…some Achilles and stuff.Nicole Faltum will be part of her first Australia tour•Getty Images

“We certainly don’t want to rush it. As far as I’m aware, there’s no risk that she’ll miss out on that World Cup.”Allrounder Sophie Molineux will continue to be on the sidelines as she recovers from a knee injury that ruled her out of the multiformat Ashes series. “We want to make sure that she’s right for that World Cup, we think she’ll be an important member of that side,” Flegler said.”When she came back into the team, she played a really good role for us across all formats. We’re not going to rush her back. It’s a bit of a complex injury, but we want to make sure that she’s good to go in September.”But there is no set timeline for Tayla Vlaeminck, who dislocated her bowling shoulder just moments into Australia’s T20 World Cup match against Pakistan last October. She is hoped to return at some stage next summer.Australia will enter the T20 series against New Zealand in high spirits after their historic 16-0 Ashes triumph. But Australia should feel extra motivated facing the reigning world champions on their turf in what will be rare matches in the format ahead of next year’s T20 World Cup in England.”We were really disappointed with how the T20 World Cup ended for us, and New Zealand did extremely well to win that World Cup,” Flegler said. “It’s a great chance for us to go up against them. There’s always a great rivalry against New Zealand and I’m sure they’ll be keen to play well against us.”We don’t have that many T20s leading into the next T20 World Cup, so every opportunity we get is really important to keep trying those different combinations and getting players used to those positions that they are now in.”Australia squad for New Zealand tourDarcie Brown, Nicole Faltum, Ashleigh Gardner, Kim Garth, Grace Harris, Alana King, Phoebe Litchfield, Tahlia McGrath (capt), Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Voll, Georgia Wareham

Os maus resultados recentes são os motivos do fantasma da demissão rondar Luxa no Corinthians. Ainda assim, mesmo se a situação ficar insustentável e o treinador for dispensado nos próximos dias, o trabalho dele não será considerado em vão. A diretoria do clube alvinegro vê a aposta em alguns garotos como algo muito importante feito pelo técnico.

Há quem acredite que nenhum outro técnico conseguisse trabalhar tão bem a entrada de revelações como Luxemburgo. O principal exemplo foi a entrada do volante Gabriel Moscardo. Com dificuldades em firmar um atleta na posição, o comandante corintiano ficou encantado com o que viu do camisa 44 nos treinos antes do jogo contra o Liverpool, do Uruguai, pela Libertadores, e também nos minutos em que colocou o atleta em campo pela competição continental. Isso foi o suficiente para credenciá-lo como titular nos jogos seguintes, já com o time principal – entre eles em um confronto de quarta de final da Copa do Brasil, contra o América-MG.

Outra herança do treinador no Timão é o meia Ruan Oliveira, que era descartado e também se tornou titular nas mãos do ‘pofexô’. Após três anos sem jogar por conta de três cirurgias no joelho, o jogador foi decisivo em partidas em que nem imaginava entrar, com o contrato faltando 15 dias para o encerramento, ganhou uma sobrevida no clube até o fim do ano e deve ser adquirido de forma definitiva, graças a Vanderlei.

Outros nomes como o zagueiro Murillo e os atacantes Biro e Wesley ganharam muito mais espaços com o técnico corintiano e, no entendimento da direção, tiveram uma evolução que não seria tão grande se continuassem no ritmo que estavam. De atletas de composição de elenco, eles passaram a ser peças importantes para o grupo.

Esse trabalho com os atletas mais jovens, no entanto, não será o suficiente para evitar uma possível demissão de Luxa no Corinthians em caso de novos placares negativos, principalmente nos próximos dois compromissos, contra o Atlético-MG, pelo Brasileirão, e América-MG, pela Copa do Brasil.

Nem mesmo amostras de evolução do time em campo serão capazes de manter o técnico no Timão. A um ponto da zona do rebaixamento, existe internamente um temor muito grande da equipe entrar no Z4, algo que só não aconteceu em três das últimas quatro rodadas por conta de derrotas de outros times.

Esse medo está ligado ao momento de intensa pressão vivido pelo clube, com protestos nas arquibancadas e até mesmo episódios com violência, como a recepção do ônibus que levava o elenco corintiano a Santos, há três semanas, e a agressão contra o jogador Luan em um motel, em São Paulo, na última terça-feira (4). O pensamento é que, em meio a esses episódios, se o time entrar no pelotão dos quatro piores será muito difícil de tirar. Essa ideia também é influenciada pela temporada de 2007, quando a equipe foi rebaixada à segunda divisão.

O prazo limite para Luxemburgo alcançar resultados e evitar a demissão no Corinthians é o dia 15 de julho, quando o Timão enfrentará o América-MG, pelo jogo de volta das quartas de final da Copa do Brasil. A competição é vista de suma importância pela direção corintiana por dois motivos: é considerada a grande chance de conquistar um título neste ano e também é capaz de recuperar a projeção financeira do clube na temporada, já que as metas no Paulistão (chegar à semifinal) e na Libertadores (alcançar às oitavas de final) não foram atingidas. No torneio nacional, no entanto, o clube alvinegro já superou a expectativa, que era ir até as oitavas de final. E, caso avance à semi, conseguirá repor financeiramente o desfalque com as campanhas frustradas nas competições estadual e continental.

No entanto, existe a chance de Vanderlei nem chegar ao jogo contra o Coelho, em São Paulo, já que a possibilidade de desligamento em caso de derrota para o Galo neste fim de semana é considerada real, principalmente se o time entrar na zona do rebaixamento. Um revés para a equipe atleticana fora de casa é considerado dentro do normal para a diretoria corintiana, mas o histórico de derrotas pode influenciar – são nove em 17 jogos, com um aproveitamento de 31,3%. E, nesse caso, até mesmo uma atuação considerada boa pode não ser o suficiente para sustentar o emprego de Luxemburgo, diferentemente do que aconteceu contra o América-MG, nesta quarta-feira (5), quando o Timão perdeu jogando bem e isso manteve o profissional no cargo.

With Kyogo Furuhashi, Nicolas Kuhn and Adam Idah among those to depart Parkhead in recent times, Celtic have frustratingly had to witness some of their best and brightest move on to pastures new, instead of sticking it out for the long haul in Glasgow.

Those who have moved on haven’t always enjoyed the best of fortunes, however, with the club’s record departures a case in point.

Indeed, Kieran Tierney – sold to Arsenal back in 2019 – has returned to Scotland this summer after six injury-hit years at the Emirates. Jota, meanwhile, is also now back on the books after enduring a miserable time in Saudi Arabia and France.

In the case of Matt O’Riley, the elegant playmaker has joined Marseille on loan after just a solitary season at Brighton. Kuhn, now at Como, is yet to start a Serie A game since his £16m switch.

Even Kyogo – who departed for Rennes in January in the hope of securing a more prominent role for Japan – has found himself now operating in England’s Championship rather than the Champions League, with the grass certainly not always greener.

That being said, there are those who go on and flourish elsewhere after leaving the Premiership side, with young Ben Gannon-Doak proving a prime example.

Ben Gannon-Doak's display in numbers vs Belarus

Every club has a tale of ‘one that got away, with Gannon-Doak the most prominent name in recent times with regard to Celtic and their academy production line.

Handed two senior appearances by Ange Postecoglou as a mere 16-year-old, the flying winger could not be tempted to stay put in Scotland, instead moving to Premier League giants Liverpool for a compensation fee of just £600k.

While the intense competition at Anfield has seen the now 19-year-old move on to Bournemouth this summer, the nature of the £25m price tag emphasises just what a talent he truly is – a fact that he again showcased on Monday night away at Belarus.

The man who previously tormented Croatia’s Josko Gvardiol, Gannon-Doak is emerging as a real outlet for Steve Clarke and for Scotland despite his relative youth, with new Cherries teammate Ryan Christie highlighting just why he has become such a firm favourite for the Tartan Army:

That positivity was on full display on Monday, with Gannon-Doak – unleashed from the start by Clarke – proving a constant menace down the left flank, having been the away side’s ‘brightest creative spark’, according to GIVEMESPORT.

In his 74-minute outing, the youngster notably completed three of his four attempted dribbles, enjoyed a 93% pass accuracy rate and registered one key pass, as per Sofascore, having produced a performance of real authority off the left.

There was also steel to match the silk, however, a fact emphasised by a crunching challenge on the halfway line, that resulted in a yellow card, as he also notably won seven of his 11 total duels.

A player who looks like the complete package, Celtic will rue having let him slip from their grasp. That is in the past, however, with there now a new shining light to enjoy at Parkhead…

Callum Osmand could be Celtic's answer to Gannon-Doak

Too often in recent times have Celtic had to watch as their academy products have been snapped up by top-flight clubs south of the border, with teenage goal machine Daniel Cummings notably making the switch to West Ham United this summer.

That being said, there are times where the Hoops are able to get their own back, with Brendan Rodgers and co memorably poaching a young Moussa Dembele from Fulham back in the summer of 2016.

Such a coup looks like it could well have been replicated this summer too, with the Scottish champions having managed to prise another teenage striker from Craven Cottage, in the form of Callum Osmand.

The 19-year-old may have yet to enjoy a taste of senior football in west London, although he has flourished at youth level in recent years, scoring 23 goals in just 38 U18 games, alongside netting 20 times in 35 games for the U21 side.

In one outing for Celtic ‘B’ team, the prolific teen has already got off the mark, emphasising just why he is so “highly-rated”, in the words of Rodgers:

Having discussed the potential move with another Fulham product, O’Riley, the Welshman will be looking to try and emulate the playmaker’s impact in green and white, with a starting berth seemingly up for grabs amid the uncertainty surrounding Celtic’s number nine berth.

Much like Gannon-Doak, the rapid talent appears to have that fearless quality to his attacking game, a point that has been emphasised by Fulham expert Jack Kelly:

While Celtic have had to witness Gannon-Doak flourish at international level, perhaps they could well get their own back with the case of Osmand, with it set to be intriguing to see if he can make a first-team impact under Rodgers this season.

There is a centre-forward vacuum to be filled in the wake of Idah’s departure – could Osmand now fill it?

Following Celtic’s failed pursuit of Kasper Dolberg, who joined Ajax instead, the Hoops do have an attacker with a higher value.

The platform will continue creating content around non-CSK games

R Ashwin has three wickets from four games this season with an economy rate of 9.23•PTI

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) games will not be previewed or reviewed on R Ashwin’s YouTube channel for the remainder of IPL 2025.”Given the nature of the discussions on this forum over the last week, we want to be mindful of how things can be interpreted and have chosen to step away from covering CSK games, both previews and reviews, for the rest of this season,” read a note from the admin of Ashwin’s channel. “We value the diversity of perspectives that come through on our shows and remain committed to ensuring the conversation stays true to the integrity and purpose of the platform we’ve established. The views expressed by our guests do not reflect Ashwin’s personal opinions.”A controversy arose last week when Prasanna Agoram, a former data analyst for South Africa and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and a regular on the channel, criticised CSK’s decision to pick Afghanistan wristspinner Noor Ahmad despite having Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in the squad. Ashwin himself does not take part in these discussions.The video was taken down after sharp reaction on social media. After CSK’s chase against DC petered out on Saturday, coach Stephen Fleming was asked if such chatter about the team on a player’s YouTube channel might make things awkward. “I have no idea,” Fleming said. “I didn’t even know he [Ashwin] had a channel, so I don’t follow that stuff. That’s irrelevant.”
