West Ham United fans will have to wait until Monday night to get their fix of club football after the international break, as they take on Newcastle at St James Park.

The Magpies sit ninth in the Premier League after 11 games played, whilst the Hammers are languishing in 14th, having won just three of their opening 11.

After significant investment this summer, Julen Lopetegui has big expectations to make it work at the club, and his poor run of form could see his job under threat already, with the club sounding out possible replacements should they pull the trigger on the 58-year-old Spaniard.

A few names that have already been touted are Graham Potter and Edin Terzić, both of whom are currently out of a job, but one name that is beginning to surface is a manager already in the Premier League, who is doing an amazing job with his respective club.

West Ham could hire Premier League manager

According to reports from TEAMtalk last week, one name being mentioned internally is Bournemouth coach, Andoni Iraola, who is also being “eyed up” by a number of other top sides.

Labelled as a “very talented” manager during his time at Rayo Vallecano by scout Jacek Kulig, and he has managed to translate this to the English top flight.

Bournemouth do not play the same heavy possession style that West Ham were initially looking for when going from David Moyes to Lopetegui, but what he does bring is a clear identity, which has proven to stunt many top sides in the Premier League.

The Cherries average 45.0% possession per game (the sixth lowest in the division), but also average 15.5 shots per game (the third highest in the league), with only Tottenham and Manchester City managing more. This speaks perfectly to Iraola’s direct style, and his distinct idea to use their possession effectively, and with purpose.

Manager Focus

Who are the greatest coaches in the land? Football FanCast's Manager Focus series aims to reveal all.

The 42-year-old coach has averaged 1.32 points per match (PPM) since joining Bournemouth in July 2023, bettering both the 1.30 PPM Lopetegui managed at Wolves and the current 1.15 PPM he is averaging at West Ham.

If the Hammers did appoint Iraola, it would be a challenge to change their style again, but that change in style could benefit some of their current players, who would be better suited to a more direct approach.

The main West Ham player Iraola could benefit

The first player who could benefit from this change would be Jarrod Bowen, who is already seen as one of West Ham’s most important players. But that importance could be further exemplified under Iraola, highlighting his best qualities and getting the most from him.

The 27-year-old is a hard-working winger, who can press high, and then look to play direct. Under Moyes, Bowen scored 20 goals and provided ten assists in the 2023/24 season, much of his work coming from counter-attacking scenarios, and playing fast in transition.

In Iraola’s system, the way they manufacture their shots comes from their pressing patterns, looking to set traps all over the pitch, win the ball back, and then attack as quickly as possible, in as few passes as possible, looking to hurt the opposition whilst they are out of shape.

Bowen has plenty of the qualities Iraola would like and despite the Hammers’ poor start to the campaign, he is better a host of his numbers from last term.

As a result, with the England international possessing the added bit of final third quality that some of Iraola’s Bournemouth players perhaps lack, it could make for a very exciting prospect if the Spanish coach were to work alongside West Ham’s flying winger.

West Ham must regret selling a star who's rivalling Yamal in 2024/25

West Ham may have made a mistake allowing one star to leave the London Stadium.

ByEthan Lamb Nov 15, 2024

Hoping to take a permanent step back among the world’s best, Newcastle United have now reportedly entered the race to sign two Croatian starlets alongside a number of Europe’s elite clubs.

Newcastle transfer news

It’s shaping up to be a busy 2025 for those at St James’ Park if recent transfer rumours are anything to go by. The Magpies have been linked to the likes of Antoine Semenyo and Bryan Mbeumo as they look to finally upgrade on Miguel Almiron and add another attacking spark to Eddie Howe’s side. It could be a much-needed spark too amid reports that Alexander Isak could decide to depart in 2025, recently stealing the headlines on and off the pitch.

After failing in their recruitment last summer, losing Isak would undoubtedly be a major blow – particularly to a Premier League rival. The last thing that sporting director Paul Mitchell needs is to have the job of replacing one of England’s best forwards on top of the targets that he may have already identified, including two Croatian starlets.

The Magpies’ list of absentees continues to grow…

According to Graeme Bailey for The Boot Room, Newcastle are now among Europe’s elite in the race to sign Martin Baturina and Petar Sucic from Dinamo Zagreb. The likes of Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool have all reportedly been keeping tabs on at least Baturina or both of the young midfielders.

Baturina – 21 years old and more of an attacking player – would undoubtedly be a major coup given the interest in his signature. Sucic, meanwhile, who is also just 21 years old but a defensive midfielder, could offer Howe an instant upgrade on Sean Longstaff alongside Bruno Guimaraes at the heart of his Newcastle side next year.

"Talented" Sucic could replace Longstaff

A player at the heart of the current Dinamo Zagreb side, Sucic has more than earned the admiration of several top clubs and now Newcastle could land an instant upgrade on Longstaff, especially for the future. Sucic’s best form is yet to come, but he has still managed to enter the radar of Newcastle’s scouts who may well have the vision of a partnership between the Croatian and Guimaraes in mind.

Unsurprisingly, the young midfielder has earned plenty of praise throughout his recent rise into importance for Zagreb, including from U23 scout Antonio Mango, who described his performances earlier this season as “brilliant” as he also got an assist to his name.

As for Baturina, if Newcastle are looking for an attacking injection then he’d certainly offer that in the middle of the park, having been involved in nine goals in just 17 appearances so far this season.

With all eyes on the future, the Magpies could swoop in and land two of the most exciting players that Croatia has to offer.

The trio will be formally inducted before the T20 World Cup final on Sunday in Dubai

ESPNcricinfo staff13-Nov-2021

Janette Brittin, Mahela Jayawardene and Shaun Pollock have been inducted into ICC Cricket Hall of Fame and the formal induction will take place before the T20 World Cup 2021 final between New Zealand and Australia at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.Brittin, who died in 2017, played 27 Tests and 63 ODIs for England Women from 1979 to 1998 and scored 1935 and 2121 runs in the two formats respectively, and holds several records. She is the most capped Test player among women; she was the oldest woman to score a Test hundred (at 39 years and 38 days vs Australia in 1998) and the second-oldest to score an ODI hundred (at 38 years and 161 days vs Pakistan in 1997); she scored the most Test runs in a calendar year (531 in 1984) and she has the most 50-plus scores (16) in women’s Tests.She also top-scored in the 1993 World Cup final against New Zealand to take England to the title.Jayawardene, too, held many records for Sri Lanka – he captained them, played five ICC finals and won the T20 World Cup in 2014. He also scored over 10,000 runs in both Tests and ODIs, and is now considered an astute T20 coach.Pollock, apart from being among the finest allrounders from South Africa, also took over the captaincy at a challenging time from Hansie Cronje and went on to play 108 Tests and became the first South African to 400 Test wickets.”The ICC Cricket Hall of Fame is our way of honouring and celebrating the greats of our game. Only the very best players are recognized for their contribution to cricket in this way,” ICC acting CEO Geoff Allardice said. “I would like to congratulate Mahela and Shaun on their induction into this illustrious group and it is a wonderful way to commemorate Janette’s life and career.”Jayawardene thanked those who helped him during his career, saying: “I am very grateful for the recognition and would like to enjoy and share the moment with all those that have helped me on my journey, including my family, friends, coaches, team-mates and, most importantly, Sri Lanka cricket fans who passionately supported and inspired me during my career.”Pollock said: “I would like to thank the ICC for this recognition of my career. It’s an amazing honour to be included in the Hall of Fame alongside the very illustrious company that has already been inducted. It’s a real cherry on the top or maybe even a book end of what has been a thoroughly enjoyable cricketing experience and I’d like to thank my teammates who played such a massive part along the journey.”

#PoliteEnquiries: Did Sunrisers not like Warner’s dance moves?

Big pictureThis Chennai Super Kings side – which is one win away from a spot in the playoffs – functions at a very high level because of a stable first XI with clear role definitions.Faf du Plessis is the aggressor. And while he takes care of the run-rate, Ruturaj Gaikwad can simply play to his best tempo.Moeen Ali and Ambati Rayudu are perfect as No. 3 and 4 because of their natural ability to attack spin bowling.

IPL 2021 is available in the US on ESPN+. You can subscribe to ESPN+ and tune in to Thursday’s match here.

Then comes Ravindra Jadeja, whose batting and finishing ability has shot through the roof, so much so that he is basically carrying MS Dhoni, which is fair enough since MS Dhoni has carried this team for years.There. That’s the plan. And it never changes.Sunrisers Hyderabad on the other hand began the season with a captain whom they no longer want in the XI, their middle order is so brittle it limits the way their top order plays and a lack of a recognised finisher means there is always a chance of things going wrong at the exact time you want everything to go right – the death overs. This disarray is the reason why they are dead last on the points table. A loss tomorrow will eliminate them from playoff contention.In the newsIt looks like David Warner’s time with the Sunrisers is coming to an end. He wasn’t even at the ground for the last game they played and then went on to suggest on social media that this may be the new status quo. Head coach Trevor Bayliss did nothing to quash that suggestion, instead saying they wanted their younger players to experience what it is like to be at the ground, in the midst of all the action.Ruturaj Gaikwad has developed his game so much he’s almost like a new signing for Chennai Super Kings•BCCI/IPL

Likely XIsSunrisers Hyderabad: 1 Jason Roy, 2 Wriddhiman Saha (wk), 3 Kane Williamson (capt), 4 Priyam Garg, 5 Abhishek Sharma, 6 Jason Holder, 7 Abdul Samad, 8 Rashid Khan, 9 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 10 Siddharth Kaul, 11 Sandeep SharmaChennai Super Kings: 1 Faf du Plessis, 2 Ruturaj Gaikwad, 3 Moeen Ali, 4 Ambati Rayudu, 5 Suresh Raina, 6 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 Sam Curran/Dwayne Bravo, 9 Shardul Thakur, 10 Deepak Chahar, 11 Josh Hazlewood/Imran TahirStrategy punt If there is one team against whom Dhoni can finish the way he used to, it is Sunrisers. He is destructive against their death bowlers, taking 81 runs off 46 balls from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and 45 off 25 from Siddharth Kaul. But this plan only works if – and it’s a big if – CSK can prevent their from facing Rashid Khan because that head-to-head ain’t pretty: 23 runs in 32 balls, one dismissal. Kane Williamson loves playing against Super Kings. Check out how his stats against all their best bowlers: 50 runs off 29 balls against Dwayne Bravo; once dismissed, 49 off 35 against Jadeja; never dismissed, 57 off 38 against Shardul Thakur; twice dismissed and 58 off 44 against Deepak Chahar; never dismissed. Williamson batting through the innings could once again prove crucial to Sunrisers’ chances. Stats that matter Last IPL, over the course of 12 matches, the average first-innings score in Sharjah was 178. But this season, thanks to a relaid pitch that is a lot slower and a lot less conducive for shot-making, the average first-innings score is only 136. A measure of how incredible Jadeja has been with the bat in recent seasons. Since IPL 2020, he is one of only three players to score at least 400 runs and average over 50. The others are KL Rahul and Williamson. Rashid finds life a bit tougher than usual playing against the Super Kings. He averages 27.6 – his worst out of all teams – and gives up a boundary almost every over (33 in 36) – again his worst out of all teams.

Swiftly turning their attention towards 2025 after an underwhelming summer transfer window, Newcastle United and Paul Mitchell are now reportedly keeping tabs on one target who has already found the back of the net at St James’ Park.

Newcastle transfer news

There’s no doubt that the Magpies could do with a successful January transfer window following such a disastrous summer – what Eddie Howe needs is a transfer window to match the quality that his side has shown so far this season. The former Bournemouth boss has guided his side to within two points of the top four after just seven games in a run that has seen them suffer just the one defeat despite not playing their best stuff.

Of course, that run won’t stand in the way of Newcastle’s frustration after their 0-0 draw against Everton last time out, in which Anthony Gordon saw his penalty saved by former teammate Jordan Pickford, much to the delight of the Toffees support.

With the international break handing those at St James’ Park a couple of weeks to ponder such frustration, sporting director Mitchell has seemingly turned his attention towards the transfer window.

According to GiveMeSport, Mitchell is now monitoring Antoine Semenyo ahead of a potential move for Newcastle in the winter window or next summer. The Bournemouth winger has enjoyed an excellent start to the season for the Cherries, picking up where he left off last time out to become the star of the show once again.

Newcastle are well aware of his quality too, given that he scored in a 2-2 draw against the Magpies last season, as Bournemouth escaped St James’ Park with a well-earned point thanks to their winger. With Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur also reportedly interested in Semenyo, however, Newcastle and Mitchell will have to act fast in pursuit of his signature.

"Strong" Semenyo is a player on the rise

Much like Dominic Solanke did before leaving for Spurs in the summer, Semenyo is quickly making a name for himself on the South Coast and may well earn a big move as a result. So far this season, he’s arguably stolen more headlines than ever, having scored three goals and assisted another in just seven Premier League games as a player who only looks likely to get more and more clinical.

Wheeling away in celebration at St James’ Park last season, if Newcastle fans aren’t aware of Semenyo’s quality just yet, then a winter move should certainly give them a better look.

Full of praise for his £50,000-a-week winger, Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola told reporters, via the Bournemouth Echo, earlier this season: “Past season, I remember that normally he started from the bench or he played 60, 65 minutes and you could see that he was starting to decline, it’s normal a little bit.

“Now he’s staying there, he’s finishing strong, the games. I think he’s one of the ones also who has played a lot of minutes with the national team and I hope he can keep this level.”

خاض فريق أتلتيكو مدريد، مساء اليوم السبت، مباراته في إطار منافسات بطولة الدوري الإسباني لكرة القدم، موسم 2024/25، ضد خصمه سيلتا فيجو.

وتلاقى الفريقان في معقل أتلتيكو مدريد، في إطار لقاءات الجولة الرابعة والعشرين من الدوري الإسباني، حيث تعادلا بهدف لمثله. أهداف مباراة أتلتيكو مدريد وسيلتا فيجو في الدوري الإسباني

واضطر أتلتيكو مدريد إلى اللعب منقوصًا، بـ10 لاعبين منذ الدقيقة السابعة من عمر الشوط الأول، بعدما تحصل لاعب الفريق بابلو باريوس على بطاقة حمراء.

وتدخل باريوس بقوة على أحد لاعبي سيلتا فيجو، وتدخلت تقنية الفيديو التي جعلت الحكم يقرر طرد لاعب أتلتيكو مدريد.

وكان التعادل السلبي هو صاحب الكلمة في الشوط الأول من عمر المباراة، حيث فشل الفريقان في التسجيل طوال الدقائق الـ45 الأولى.

وتغير الوضع في الشوط الثاني، وتحديدًا في الدقيقة 68 بعدما تحصل سيلتا فيجو على ضربة جزاء، وتمكن ياجو أسباس من تنفيذها بنجاح، محولًا إياها إلى هدف لصالح الضيوف.

ونجح أتلتيكو مدريد في تسجيل هدف التعادل في الدقيقة 81، عن طريق ألكسندر سورلوث.

وفشل أتلتيكو مدريد بذلك التعادل في استغلال تعثر ريال مدريد، في مباراته التي سبقت لقاء الأتلتي، حيث اكتفى بتعادل مخيب مع أوساسونا بهدف لمثله.

بتلك النتيجة، أصبح رصيد أتلتيكو مدريد 50 نقطة في المركز الثاني، بفارق نقطة عن ريال مدريد المتصدر، ونقطتين عن برشلونة صاحب المركز الثالث الذي سيخوض مباراته في تلك الجولة مع رايو فاليكانو.

في حين ارتفع رصيد سيلتا فيجو إلى 29 نقطة، حيث يحتل حاليًا المركز الثاني عشر في جدول الدوري الإسباني.

ويستطيع برشلونة الصعود إلى صدارة الدوري الإسباني، مستغلًا تعثر ريال مدريد وأتلتيكو مدريد، حال فوزه ضد رايو فاليكانو يوم الإثنين القادم.

Ahead of the 2025 MLS campaign, GOAL takes a look at five players that could use a change of scenery

Transfer season is in full swing in Europe, and MLS is also gaining momentum with signings and trades as clubs actively shape their rosters for the 2025 season.

Some teams, like Lionel Messi's Inter Miami and Brian Schmetzer's Seattle Sounders, are preparing for more than just the regular season — competitions like the FIFA Club World Cup are also on the horizon.

Messi's arrival signaled a new era of ambition and expectation for the league's now 30 teams, and big moves aren’t limited to transfers alone. Trades have played a pivotal role in shaping champions, with Darlington Nagbe’s arrivals in both Atlanta United and Columbus Crew serving as prime examples of title-winning impact.

This offseason, similarly high-caliber players are available. Some, like U.S. internationals Duncan McGuire, Julian Gressel, and Eryk Williamson, have seen their roles diminish at their current clubs. Others, like 2023 MVP Lucho Acosta and winger Robert Taylor, remain stars but might benefit from a change of scenery after a challenging 2024 campaign.

The blockbuster $2.5 million trade sending Leonardo Campana to the New England Revolution from South Beach kicked off trade season. Acosta, Gressel, Taylor, McGuire, and Williamson are five names to watch as potential candidates to follow suit.

GOAL examines and offers some insight into where the ideal destination for the next stage of their careers may lie.

  Julian Gressel, Inter Miami

  Why he should request a trade: Gressel began 2024 as an important player for the but as the season went on, it felt as though he was deemed surplus and come the postseason, he was ignored by then-manager Tata Martino despite Miami's struggles against Atlanta United in their Round One Best-of-3 series. An unused substitute in all three matches, it showed that the club's value in him lessened throughout the season — and that he'd likely be worth more and valued more by a different team in 2025.

  GOAL's ideal landing spot: The New England Revolution — When Gressel was traded from the Vancouver Whitecaps to the Columbus Crew, the U.S. international was adamant that he wanted to return to the East Coast. After he signed with Inter Miami ahead of the 2024 season, he remained in the conference of his choice, but it was never a good fit. Still a wanted man across the league, a return to the Northeast feels like a perfect fit.

  A Providence graduate, returning to the area could feel like a homecoming for the 31-year-old and he would be the important cog of a revamped project under Caleb Porter, who has been cleaning house with the Revs after a disastrous 2024. Under Porter, he could be deployed in the midfield or the attack in a system focused on possession and stretching the pitch — two of Gressel's best qualities.

  Luciano Acosta, FC Cincinnati

  Why he should request a trade: Acosta and FCC had a falling out following their playoff exit in November, with the former MLS MVP sharing his time may be over at the club.

  "It could be the end at the club, we don’t know," Acosta said after NYCFC eliminated them in the first round of the postseason. "I have to keep talking, planning, and take a break, give my mind a break, and think of what’s coming, what’s best for the club and for me."

  For the 30-year-old attacker, who still has ambitions to represent the USMNT, a move away from FCC may be the best way to make that happen. He's led FCC from Wooden Spoon holders in 2021 to being one of MLS' best teams, but they've never been able to take the next step — while their incoming transfer business has not particularly been successful over the past two years, either.

  If Acosta wants to end his MLS career with an MLS Cup — or trophies of a larger nature — he likely needs to leave FCC, and this feels like the right time for both parties.

  GOAL's ideal landing spot: LA Galaxy — After Campana was sent to the New England Revolution, freed up a DP slot in the buildup to the 2025 campaign. Using it on Acosta is the perfect solution.

  Ahead of their CONCACAF Champions Cup and FIFA Club World Cup pushes, Javier Mascherano will be doing everything in his power to elevate the squad prior to tournament play.

  Acosta fits perfectly in that mold, filling the gap that Diego Gomez left after his blockbuster transfer to Brighton in the English Premier League while providing another attacking option up front beneath Messi and Luis Suarez.

  Factor in that he is another strong mentor for rising young American midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi, too, and it makes too much sense.

  Acosta's experience in MLS could be the missing piece that finally gets Messi and Co. hands on their two most coveted prizes: MLS Cup and the Club World Cup.

  Duncan McGuire, Orlando City

  Why he should request a trade: McGuire’s 2024 was a whirlwind. In January, he had signed papers and posed for photos with Blackburn ahead of a European transfer—only for a paperwork error to derail the move. He returned to Orlando City, but the club had already signed his replacement in Luis Muriel. Despite the setback, McGuire managed 18 starts across 27 appearances, scoring 10 goals.

  He also represented the USMNT at the Summer Olympics as the roster's lone striker. However, after failing to score against France and New Zealand, he lost his starting spot two matches into the competition.

  Upon return to the after the Paris Games, things didn't get much better for him, earning just one start through the remainder of the regular season into the playoffs under Oscar Pareja — even after signing a new long-term deal with the club in August. He became the club's third-string forward, behind Muriel while Ramiro Enrique emerged as the starting forward as Orlando climbed all the way to the Eastern Conference finals in the postseason.

  Falling out of favor under Pareja, his poor showing in Paris and goal-scoring woes were detrimental marks to his 2024 campaign, and as a result, perhaps a change of scenery could put him back on track in 2025. Although a move to Europe cannot be ruled out again, switching clubs stateside could prove to be beneficial for him as he looks to make one last push to make the 2026 FIFA World Cup squad while furthering his career as a professional.

  GOAL's ideal landing spot: San Jose Earthquakes or San Diego FC — With the Quakes, McGuire would be the centerpiece in a revamped squad under the guidance of former U.S. men's national team manager Bruce Arena. The club has already been linked with a move for USMNT forward Brandon Vazquez at Monterrey, so McGuire would be a forward who would make sense if things fall through with Vasquez.

  At SDFC, Mcguire would join up with former USMNT assistant Mikey Varas, as he leads the club in their debut MLS season. A manager who has a reputation of helping young players progress, Mcguire could potentially flourish under him alongside Mexico superstar Chucky Lozano.

  Eryk Williamson, Portland Timbers

  Why he should request a trade: Williamson made just 10 starts in 2024 despite appearing in 28 regular-season matches under Portland manager Phil Neville. It was the most action he’s seen in a single campaign since entering the league in 2019 — a reflection of the persistent injuries that have repeatedly disrupted his career. Still, he showed this past season that he’s more than capable of performing at a starting level in MLS, contributing two goals and three assists to Portland’s attack, even as the team struggled defensively.

  While a spot on Mauricio Pochettino's 2026 USMNT World Cup squad seems unlikely, Williamson made a strong impression across his six international caps, with his last appearance coming in the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup.

  At 27, Williamson has battled through adversity with the Timbers, battling through setbacks and showing flashes of his best form when healthy. A change of scenery– and perhaps a shift away from Portland’s turf surface — could be exactly what he needs to reignite his career. Anyone who’s watched him play knows there’s still plenty of quality there, and he deserves a chance to anchor a midfield in MLS.

  GOAL's ideal landing spot: LAFC — After Ilie Sanchez departed the club as a free agent and Eduard Atuesta's loan ended in 2024, LAFC manager Steve Cherundolo will be looking for at least two new midfielders heading into 2025. Williamson fits perfectly into what the club is looking for, with a defensive-minded central midfielder who presses well and pushes the ball forward well in transition.

  However, there is one major caveat to any hypothetical transfer. His girlfriend, Kelli Hubly, played alongside him in Portland with the Thorns until her contract ran out at the end of 2024, and the two parties couldn't come together over a renewal. There's a high-percentage chance that wherever she ends up next, he will likely be close — so any move, like one to LAFC, would likely involve a market with an NWSL side. In this scenario, that would be Angel City.

O primeiro jogo entre os cariocas terminou com vitória da equipe cruz-maltina por 2 a 1. Do outro lado da chave, o já classificado Atlético-MG espera o vencedor de Internacional x Palmeiras.

Após conquistar a classificação de maneira heroica, o capitão Pablo fez questão de elogiar o treinador Alex de Souza, que, segundo ele, faz um bom trabalho com o elenco da base, seja dentro ou fora de campo.

– Tem sido um período de muito aprendizado. O Alex é um cara que fez história no futebol e tem uma visão de jogo muito moderna. Ele tem nos ensinado muito, como se portar, como enxergar o jogo e buscamos colocar isso em prática nos treinos e partidas – completou Pablo, que já foi observado no elenco profissional do São Paulo.
