Daniel Farke and Leeds United have been showing interest in Liverpool defender Calvin Ramsay, who's recently been recalled from what was supposed to be a season-long loan at Preston. Speaking in a press conference earlier this week, the Reds' assistant manager Pep Lijnders confirmed he would make another temporary move for the remainder of the campaign.
In the same update, Lijnders said that centre-back Nat Phillips would be following him out of the Anfield door. Like Ramsay, Phillips had come back to Liverpool early rather than seeing out the season at Celtic, but despite his struggles at Parkhead, he's generating considerable "interest". Leeds, it seems, are one of the clubs keen on the Englishman.

According to The Daily Mail, Phillips could be a target for Leeds. The Whites are "keeping an eye" on his situation with a view to potentially making a move before the transfer deadline on 1 February. However, they may have to overcome significant competition if they're to win the race.

Cardiff and Blackburn are both eager to sign him, though promotion-chasing Leeds may be a more appealing destination for Phillips than the lower mid-table duo.
In a further update on Ramsay, Leeds are said to be "leading the way", but Southampton, who currently sit one place and one point above Farke's side in the table (albeit having played a game fewer) are in the picture too.
Leeds could profit from "absolutely insane" Phillips improvement
In 2019, Phillips was playing his football in the German second tier with Stuttgart, and he hadn't so much as made a Premier League appearance for Liverpool. The following year, though, the Reds lost Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip to season-ending injuries before the end of July, and Phillips emerged as an unexpected hero in their absence.
The Bolton-born defender would play 17 top-flight games that year and win the club's player of the month award for March as he helped Jurgen Klopp's side salvage third place and Champions League qualification. Speaking in 2021, Klopp said only former Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski had improved as much under his tutelage, calling his development "absolutely insane" and hailing him as "one of the smartest players I ever worked with".
Since then, Phillips has spent half a season on loan at Bournemouth, playing 17 games as they successfully secured promotion back to the Premier League, and more recently at Celtic, where he only appeared six times. At £64,000-per-week, he would be one of the highest earners at Elland Road if Leeds agreed to pay the entirety of his salary, but the hope will be that Liverpool agree to cover a significant portion of that figure.
Phillips has experience of playing for one of the best teams in the Championship, and he could be an asset in the top flight too if Leeds go up given his unexpected contribution at Liverpool. If the Reds are satisfied that he'll play enough football in West Yorkshire up against Pascal Struijk and Joe Rodon, then we could soon see him donning a white shirt.
Not necessary for critics to be constructive, says the England World Cup captain of his former team-mate’s analysis
George Dobell10-Jul-2019Eoin Morgan has called comments from Kevin Pietersen “not good for a team environment”.Pietersen suggested that Morgan “looked scared” of Mitchell Starc’s bowling during England’s group match defeat against Australia. Writing on Twitter at the time, Pietersen said he had “not seen a captain show such weakness for a while” and that it was “a horror sign” for England.But, on the eve of England’s first World Cup semi-final in 27 years, Morgan compared his former team-mate’s words to those of Geoffrey Boycott in saying that they “don’t take the best interest of the team or the player” into account and suggested the current England dressing room did not pay much attention to comments of the sort.”When Kevin Pietersen comes out with a comment, it’s very similar to comments I address from Geoffrey Boycott,” Morgan told the . “They are not ones that are considered good for a team environment and don’t take the best interests of the team or the player at heart. Guys are trying their heart out to do well for their country, trying to learn, trying to get better.”Morgan did acknowledge, however, that he had struggled to deal with the short ball in the past. He was memorably forced to retire hurt having been struck by a Starc bouncer in an ODI in Manchester in 2015 – he later said his helmet “probably saved my life” – while he also accepted that it wasn’t necessarily Pietersen’s role to be constructive. In making such comments, Morgan said, the former players were merely doing “their job”.”Possibly four years ago I was challenged in that area,” Morgan said. “Since then I’ve been challenged in different areas and, over the past two years, I’ve managed to counter that.”And you have critics being critics. But they need to do that; that’s their job. So let them be.”
Inter Miami’s MLS rivals take “extra precautions” when Lionel Messi is around, but the Herons are preparing to lose their captain to the Copa America.

World Cup winner Messi will be leading Argentina into another quest for continental glory, as they seek to successfully defend a crown that they captured back in 2021. With a domestic season in the United States well underway, the all-time great will have to desert his club employers in order to link up with his country.

Messi will miss at least a handful of games if the Albiceleste go deep into Copa competition, leaving Inter Miami to fend for themselves. They have plenty of other potential match winners on their books, but do not carry the same kind of threat when their talismanic No.10 is not around.
WHAT FREIRE SAID
Nicolas Freire – who has suffered a season-ending ACL injury – admits as much and has told of the Herons giving opposition hope when Messi is absent: “We always miss Leo when he’s not there. Not only do we miss him, but the opponents also feel it, they always take extra precautions when he’s on the field. The important thing is that’s he’s here.”

Virat Kohli has chuckled at the suggestion that not winning the IPL is a frustration for him, and said it doesn’t matter to him if his legacy is judged based on that.Kohli has been with Royal Challengers Bangalore since the team’s inception and their designated captain since 2013. Royal Challengers are among the three active teams – Delhi Capitals and Kings XI Punjab are the other two – who have never won the title, although they have been runners-up on three occasions. Under Kohli, they were in the play-offs in 2015 and runners-up in 2016. However, they have finished eighth and sixth in the last two years.This middling record prompted Gautam Gambhir to say earlier this week that Kohli was ‘very lucky’ that Royal Challengers had retained him as captain for so long, and that he had a long way to go before being spoken about in the same bracket as multiple-IPL-winning captains like Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni.”Obviously, you want to win the IPL,” Kohli said on the eve of the IPL season-opener in Chennai. “I am doing what I am supposed to do. I don’t care whether I am going to be judged on this [not winning IPL] or not. There is no real, sort of, parameters you set. I try to perform wherever I can. I try to win all the possible titles, but sometimes it just doesn’t happen. We have to be practical about why we haven’t won one. That boils down to bad decision-making in pressure situations.”If I think like people from outside, I can’t even sustain five games. I would be sitting at home. I know people talk about it a lot and they like to grab opportunities to talk about these things. But I have a responsibility here and given a chance, as a captain, I would love to win the IPL for my team. We all are motivated to do so.”Kohli reiterated the point he made last week that decision-making in pressure situations had cost Royal Challengers in big matches, adding that he sees enough proof that his team are contenders this year.”It [winning the title] has not happened and that’s the reality,” he said. “No excuses for that. Only acceptance of the faults that we made in the past. The fact that we played six [five] semi-finals means that we have been a side who are always in contention. If we make better decisions, we can go further than that. That’s how I see things.”
Tottenham Hotspur will surely target players who can make an instant impact on the first-team after taking some heavy fire recently, with Ange Postecoglou's excellent start to life in the Premier League blighted by injuries and suspensions.
Spurs fell by the wayside last season, collapsing and squandering the progress made under Antonio Conte's stewardship, who secured Champions League qualification in 2021/22.
An eighth-placed finish resulted in Harry Kane's sale to Bayern Munich, but Postecoglou was appointed from Celtic with the view that he would instil a positive, exciting style and rekindle the club's verve.
Spurs could avenge Richarlison blunder with move for "unbelievable" 6 ft 5 titan
Tottenham could secure a star for years to come with a move for this PL player.
ByAngus Sinclair Dec 1, 2023
Such hopes and dreams were realised emphatically over the opening months of the campaign, with the Australian picking up all the pieces and engineering a blistering start to the current campaign, winning eight and drawing two of the opening Premier League matches of the term.
Such success propelled Spurs into first place, but now enduring a three-match skid, the injury-hit London club is searching for some respite, and the January transfer window could bring the reinforcements needed to steady the ship.
While bolstering the ranks with senior signings is important, Postecoglou would be wise to continue the development of the younger segment of the squad, with Adam Wharton reportedly earmarked to do just that.
Tottenham transfer news – Adam Wharton
According to a recent report from 90min, Tottenham have entered the race to sign Blackburn Rovers midfielder Wharton after being impressed by the 19-year-old's performances in the Championship.
Liverpool Newcastle United, Manchester United, Brighton & Hove Albion and Everton are also suitors and have been monitoring the player's progress over the past year.
Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will hope that his side's £3m acquisition of Ashley Phillips from Rovers in the summer could sway the odds in his favour, with the respective clubs believed to be on good terms after the negotiations.
Adam Wharton's season in numbers
Rising from Blackburn's academy ranks, Wharton established himself as one of the finest young talents in the English second tier last season and made 18 league appearances last term, starting the final five fixtures in succession.
This season, he has made gains from last year and has already started 13 times in the Championship, completing 83% of his passes, averaging 1.4 key passes, 2.3 tackles, 1.3 interceptions and 5.6 ball recoveries per game and succeeding with 67% of his dribbles, as per Sofascore.
Touted to be a "great player" by Blackburn boss Jon Dahl Tomasson, Wharton is proving himself to be a solid option to complement his side's promotion push, with Tomasson also remarking over his meticulous approach to getting the job done in the right way.
His manager said: "He was the best player in the game. The boy he gets things right, on the ball, off the ball, and that’s great to see. I’m happy to see that development Adam has made this season. If you do the right things in training, and keep doing the right things, you will get chances.
It’s also important that a young lad shouldn’t go down and (start) doing the wrong things. Everything is possible for the boy if he does the right things.”
Should Spurs forge ahead with a deal, Wharton could prove to be another Levy masterclass in dipping down the divisions and procuring a precocious starlet, replicating the former deal to bring Dele Alli to White Hart Lane.
Dele Alli's Tottenham career
Spurs completed the £5m transfer of Alli from League One side MK Dons in February 2015, warding off fierce competition from multiple clubs for his signature.
Alli had just scored 16 goals and supplied nine assists in his final campaign in the third tier and was evidently a top-class talent, but few foresaw the instantaneous gelling he would have at the heart of Mauricio Pochettino's side's endeavours.

Jose Mourinho proclaimed that Alli could become "one of the world's best", but unfortunately he slipped and fell from grace after such a remarkable start to life on the major stage, now fighting to get back to fitness with Everton so he can make his first appearance of the season.
The 37-cap international might have faded away from prominence over the past several years but he is undoubtedly one of the most exciting youngsters to have ever burst onto the scene.
Alli had that rare, ineffable brilliance that only the select few possess, a wow factor and a seat-raising style that captivated the masses and left opposition fans fearing his wrath.
Wharton would not bring the same level of offensive panache, but he definitely boasts plenty of quality that could shoot him right up the ranks over the coming years.
Adam Wharton's potential
Spurs' midfield is somewhat threadbare at present, and given that Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr will both be absent for January and possibly part of February due to the African Cup of Nations suggests that augmenting the engine room would be a good idea for Postecoglou's side.
Rodrigo Bentancur is also out injured for ten weeks and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Oliver Skipp are both untrusted, which opens the door for a starlet of Wharton's ilk to start making a name for himself within a squad eyeing a spot back within European competition.
Considered to be a “brilliant young prospect” by journalist Josh Bunting, Wharton would be bold to make the jump to Premier League football when he is earning his stripes in Lancashire, but for a budding star of his calibre, he need only look at the past rise of Alli after the prodigious talent made the move to London.
Wharton is more industrious – he occupies a deeper segment of the midfield – but he boasts all of the tools to flourish in the future with the Lilywhites, and Postecoglou must secure his signature to settle the equilibrium when ploughing ahead with more senior signings – moves which appear to be inevitable given the outfit's circumstances.
Tottenham Hotspur are looking to the future under Ange Postecoglou. The Lilywhites are far better placed to become one of the Premier League's top sides under the former Celtic boss than they ever were under the likes of Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho, even after the Australian tasted back-to-back defeats for the first time in the Premier League.
If the Lilywhites can focus their transfer strategy on future stars rather than those already experienced and edging past their peak, then they may stand a chance of ending their long wait for silverware in years to come. Among the players that could help end that wait is one reported January target who a number of Premier League sides are interested in.
Spurs transfer news
Say it quietly, but losing Harry Kane may have been a blessing in disguise in some ways. The record goalscorer's exit gave Spurs the funds to improve their squad in a number of areas rather than just keeping hold of their main man. The likes of James Maddison, Destiny Udogie and Micky van de Ven all came through the door during the summer window and have enjoyed success ever since. Now that the Lilywhites have set the foundation of their side, they can build for the future, which could result in the arrival of one particular January target.
According to TeamTalk, Spurs are interested in Sam Curtis, who has quickly risen up the ranks in Ireland with current club St Patrick's Athletic. If the North London club want to sign the 17-year-old right-back, however, they'll reportedly have to fend off interest from Manchester City, Manchester United, Everton, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Sheffield United, Hull City and Middlesbrough in what is a busy race for the teenager's signature.
At 17-years-old, Curtis is reportedly closing in on his first senior international cap for Ireland and looks set to be on the move in January, when he will not be short on potential suitors.
Curtis is one for the future
Despite not even reaching 18 as of yet, Curtis has made an impressive 61 senior appearances and has even scored three goals, resulting in the interest of some of English football's best clubs. After helping St Patrick's Athletic to a third place finish in the League of Ireland Premier Division. What's most impressive is the fact that Curtis has played European football, having made two appearances in Europa Conference League qualifying. Every way you look at it, the Irishman is on course to become a star.
If he does choose Spurs as his next destination, the right-back will likely need patience when it comes to getting first-team opportunities. As things stand, the Lilywhites have the likes of Pedro Porro and Emerson Royal ahead of others in the pecking order in Curtis' role. In all likelihood, the teenager will likely find himself in the U21s set-up at the start of his Spurs career, should he make the January switch. With the world at his feet, Curtis seemingly has a decision to make which could entirely enhance the trajectory of his career.
The India captain praises Shastri’s man-management, credits him for bringing players out of their shells
Vishal Dikshit in Mumbai15-Nov-20181:24
Kohli: ‘Nobody says no to me more than Shastri’
After an “untenable” relationship that led to Anil Kumble’s resignation as head coach, Virat Kohli says he’s been working with a coach who has said “no” to him more than anyone else in Indian cricket.To give context to Kohli comments, he was asked ahead of the India’s departure for Australia whether Ravi Shastri merely said “yes” to everything Kohli said. The captain responded by saying it was “the most bizarre thing” he had ever heard.”About saying ‘yes’ all the time, that is the most bizarre thing I have heard,” Kohli said. “I don’t think there’s anyone who has said no to me more than him in Indian cricket. Honestly, because he’s one guy I can speak to and get an honest opinion and he’ll tell me something that if it doesn’t need to be done, it doesn’t need to be done. I’ve made more changes to my game listening to him than anyone else in the past.”These are very personal things that happen within the team environment and things that conveniently need to be put out there are put out there, and we’re not going to take a banner and say, ‘no, this is what happens in the Indian team’. As long as our heart is clear and our intent is right, we just want to keep moving forward.”Reports and a public image of Shastri and Kohli hardly differing on anything took shape following Shastri’s appointment as head coach in July last year. At the time, Kumble said he was informed by the BCCI that “the captain had reservations with my style and about my continuing as head coach”. Shastri had incidentally been team director just before Kumble was appointed in 2016, despite Shastri also applying for the job.Soon after Shastri took over as coach in 2017, he first made it clear the captain was going to be the boss. When asked about what exactly Shastri brought “to the table strategically or by motivation” as coach, Kohli jumped to his defence, saying he had pulled many players out of shells when they had been in poor form.”The contribution he has brought to the table ever since we started building this team is making people believe that they belong to this level,” Kohli said. “I can vouch for it because at a time when we all went through a really difficult time in England in 2014…for me to be able to come out of that shell [and] a lot of other players, like Shikhar [Dhawan] in the 2015 World Cup, he can vouch for that as well…you know to get the best out of players, I think he’s been the most important factor.”Man management is the most important thing at the level at which we play. I think a lot of people think that we don’t understand what needs to be done and someone needs to literally tell you where the bat needs to come from, where the head has to be. I think we’ve learnt those things enough, it’s the man management which Ravi has done brilliantly for the time that he’s been with the team.”About the other factors, look, everyone has their opinion on things, and they are absolutely free and entitled to voice their opinion, but we can’t stop living life, we cannot stop doing things that we feel are organic. Nothing is made up here, nothing is created or happening in a fake way. Everyone has a different personality, if someone’s personality doesn’t fall into someone else comfort zone, then that becomes a problem.”We’re all given a responsibility and we’re doing it to the best of our abilities. The only motive is to take Indian cricket forward. And if someone can say otherwise about the progress of the team, then that’s a very personal point of view because we all feel that we’re moving in the right direction as a team.”
Back in the Champions League for the first time since the Arsene Wenger days, Arsenal are still seeking the perfect squad depth for Mikel Arteta. They welcomed the likes of Declan Rice and Kai Havertz in the summer in an attempt to compete on all fronts. And to their credit, so far they've been incredibly impressive in both the Premier League and on the European stage.
Defeats against RC Lens and Newcastle United have been slight blips along the road, but the Gunners are still well placed to potentially achieve their goals this season. The January transfer window could only boost their chances of silverware too, especially if they secure one particular target that they have reportedly been tracking ahead of the winter window.
Arsenal transfer news
Those in North London are now at a point where improving Arteta's starting side will likely cost near-record fees, such is the talent included in their current 11. That doesn't mean they don't need reinforcements, however, with depth to that aforementioned talent still needed. We saw how badly they needed stars from the bench last season when they burned out and eventually fell away in what was their title race to lose in the Premier League. It is heartbreak they'll want to avoid again and one target could ensure that's the case.
According to The Mirror, Arsenal have been tracking Julian Brandt alongside fellow English side Newcastle United. The Borussia Dortmund star's exit is reportedly unlikely to be sanctioned by the Bundesliga giants in January, though, as they push towards goals of their own.
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Julian Brandt.
That said, Brandt has previously regretted failing to move to the Premier League and Liverpool in particular, telling The Athletic: "I had that chance to take that next step to join Liverpool, but the time wasn't right for me. I was aware that they were also looking at Mo Salah at the time. It's a shame because I would have loved to play for Klopp."
Arsenal tracking "excellent" Brandt
Given Kai Havertz's failure so far, it comes as little surprise that Arsenal are keeping an eye on a player of such similar calibre in the form of Brandt. The German international can play both in midfield and as a striker and may well find himself replacing his international teammate at The Emirates if the Gunners make their move. Brandt's stats compared to Havertz's only have one winner.

With eight goal involvements in the Bundesliga so far this season, Brandt is bursting into life at Dortmund and proving former manager Marco Rose right, who was full of praise for the German, saying in one post-match press conference:
“I think Jule is having a very decent season overall. He did an excellent job in Stuttgart, and today he showed his quality once again. He’s a player who can really rouse up the stadium with a back heel. But he knows what the issues he needs to work on are, I know what his issues are. We’re working on it.”

Eleito o melhor em campo pela transmissão da TV Globo, o volante, que vinha sendo alvo de críticas por parte da torcida do Timão, preferiu não dar uma resposta para isso e optou por manter a cabeça no lugar diante de algo que ele classifica natural no meio em que vive, jogando futebol no alto nível.
-Críticas no nosso meio são normais, jogador de time grande, de alto nível, convive com críticas e elogios. Manter a cabeça no lugar, com confiança no nosso trabalho, que sempre será valorizado em campo – afirmou o camisa 5.
Apesar de fazer um segundo tempo abaixo do que foi o primeiro, quando abriu o placar com um pênalti convertido por Fábio Santos, o Corinthians se sustentou e segurou o resultado para garantir três pontos importantes para o campeonato. Por essas e outras, Gabriel disse ter sido uma vitória com a cara do clube, que agora se afasta da incômoda ameaça da zona de rebaixamento.
-Feliz pelo jogo, pela vitória, vitória com cara de Corinthians, não só hoje, contra o Grêmio fizemos um grande jogo com dois homens a menos, e acredito que hoje no segundo tempo o nível caiu um pouquinho, a parte física do jogo passado pesou, mas agradecer a todos pelo apoio de sempre Agora é descansar, temos um jogo bem competitivo com o Fortaleza fora de casa.
