Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has travelled abroad for face-to-face talks with a top January target, with time running out for manager Ange Postecoglou to get an outfield signing or two through the door.

Tottenham chasing late January deal for Mathys Tel

Earlier this week, credible reports surfaced that Spurs have agreed a £50 million deal to sign Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich.

The 19-year-old, who was a mainstay under ex-Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel, has found his opportunities much more limited under Vincent Kompany – prompting his decision to move on before the end of this January window.

Postecoglou’s side then emerged as fierce contenders for the Frenchman’s signature, after their widely reported failed attempt to land Randal Kolo Muani on a loan deal from PSG, with Spurs shaking hands on a fee for Tel before every other interested club.

However, the hold up in this potential deal is down to Tel himself, who apparently remains undecided over a switch to Spurs. Sky Sports even claimed this afternoon that Tel may rather go out on loan and return to Bayern, as opposed to a permanent Premier League move.

“It’s a £50 million bid which the club, Bayern Munich, have certainly entertained that idea, but it’s the player who hasn’t decided,” said one of the broadcaster’s reporters live on air this lunchtime (via X).

“If he does want to move away, will he want to make it a permanent move? Potentially not, we hear. He might just want to go on loan, because he sees himself as having a future in the long-term at Bayern Munich. So, Tottenham potentially leading the race for him, but still a long way to go.”

This could spell trouble for the north Londoners, as it may hand fellow rumoured competitors Arsenal, Chelsea, Al-Ahli and Man United a route back into the race, despite their club-to-club agreement.

Daniel Levy travels for Tottenham transfer talks with Mathys Tel

According to Fabrizio Romano, Levy is now taking matters into his own hands. It is believed Levy has travelled to Munich for talks with Tel, as he looks to get Postecoglou’s first outfield signing of the window done as soon as possible, before other interested sides have a chance to pounce.

“Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has arrived in Munich today in order to accelerate talks for Mathys Tel,” said Romano on social media this afternoon.

“Agreement already done with Bayern, face to face talks now with Tel and his agent. Spurs trying to push, as they’re aware of competition from Premier League clubs.”

The versatile teenager can play in a nunber of positions across the attacking front three, making him a very useful potential new addition, so Postecoglou will be very keen for this one to be done.

Neste domingo (12), o Athletico-PR entrou em campo e enfrentou o Fortaleza. Os times se enfrentaram pela 11ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. O resultado colocou o Furacão fora do G-4, na 5ª colocação, com 17 pontos – a cinco do líder Palmeiras.

Para Felipão, o empate no Castelão foi positivo, principalmente sobre as possibilidades da partida. Além disso, o técnico afirmou que o resultado é de “bom tamanho”. Com oito desfalques, o técnico precisou escalar uma equipe com algumas mudanças táticas. O treinador explicou:

-Não temos 11 atletas na equipe. Então temos que ajeitar a equipe como pode com os outros atletas que estão à disposição, e algumas situações que idealizamos, às vezes não são as características que queremos nos nossos jogadores.

O volante Matheus Fernandes também avaliou o resultado como positivo. Segundo o jogador, o ponto é muito importante para o crescimento do time no campeonato:

-Faltou um pouco de calma. Mas o time está evoluindo, a gente está conseguindo jogar bem dentro e fora de casa, isso é muito importante. Conseguimos um ponto que é também muito importante para a nossa classificação no campeonato e é sempre bom estar pontuando.

A “wonderful” West Brom player could return to the team to face Millwall this weekend, according to an update from reliable journalist Lewis Cox.

Latest West Brom news

Tony Mowbray is now five games into his second stint as Baggies manager, winning twice and losing three times, which hasn’t necessarily been the ideal start to life back in charge at the Hawthorns.

West Brom are still sitting pretty in sixth place in the Championship, however, leaving them in the playoff positions, as they look to secure a return to the Premier League in the coming months.

Last weekend’s dramatic late 2-1 win at home to Sheffield Wednesday felt big in the promotion battle, with Jayson Molumby netting in the dying seconds against their rivals, but a 2-0 home defeat to Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday evening acted as a reality check for Mowbray and his side.

On Saturday afternoon, West Brom head to Millwall for another important game, with the south London side in 14th place currently, but winning three of their last four league matches, highlighting their own good form.

"Wonderful" West Brom ace could face Millwall

According to The Express & Star‘s Cox, West Brom defender Semi Ajayi could “maybe” return from injury for the trip to Millwall, in what would be the 31-year-old’s first appearance under Mowbray, who has called his player “wonderful”.

Having Ajayi back for the weekend action would be a big boost for the Baggies – he has not featured since the end of October, following nearly a four-month absence.

The Nigerian was a key figure earlier in the campaign, starting 12 Championship matches and averaging 2.3 aerial duel wins and two clearances per game, and Mowbray hailed him and Daryl Dike after his return for West Brom’s Under-21s earlier this week.

“It was nice to see Semi who has had a shorter-term injury but I thought the pair was excellent and certainly their attitude in the training session on Sunday and in the game was an example to all young players.”

Ajayi is now such an experienced player, racking up 174 games for the Baggies, not to mention winning 39 caps for Nigeria at international level. The centre-back’s know-how is going to be so important between now and the end of the campaign, as the matches become more and more important by the week.

It is clearly going to take time for him for get back to full match sharpness, following such a lengthy spell out of the team, but once he is fully full again, it would be a surprise if he wasn’t a regular starter under Mowbray.

He’s a wanted man…

ByTom Cunningham Feb 12, 2025

It would be a big surprise to see Ajayi thrown straight back into West Brom’s starting lineup for the Millwall game, but a place in the matchday squad would be a significant step in the right direction – depending on how the match is going, a cameo role could be ideal.

Despite losing the Gabba Test in two days, Dean Elgar is confident South Africa still managed to fire a warning shot against Australia with their strong pace pack.South Africa’s four quicks took 14 Australian wickets in the match, including four in the successful second-innings chase of 34. Had South Africa scored “another 60 runs”, Elgar said, they might have been able to claim the unlikeliest of victories. Still, Elgar believes they’ve shown the Australian line-up what they are made of.”It was to try and open some old scars, to bring in our intensity and maybe get them three or four down so those batters go to Melbourne with maybe less confidence,” Elgar said. “It worked out nicely. The result aside, it was one of the game plans that worked out for us over the last two days. I can’t say there were many.”Related

In particular, the short-ball strategy worked for Kagiso Rabada, who has snapped out of his T20 funk (he was South Africa’s least successful bowler at the T20 World Cup) and got into his role as Test spearhead. He finished the Brisbane Test with eight wickets and is now the leading bowler in Test cricket in 2022, with 45 wickets at 20.04, two ahead of Nathan Lyon.”It gives us confidence,” Elgar said. “He is a massive figure for us, not just in our bowling group but in our 16-man squad. When he puts his hand up like that it’s difficult not to follow.”Among Rabada’s victims was David Warner, whom he removed for a golden duck in the first innings and for 3 in the second. Warner is the only batter Rabada dismissed twice in the match and he has now got rid of him six times in seven Tests. Rabada targeting Warner appeared to be a well-planned tactic to take advantage of a player in a slump. Since his last Test fifty against Pakistan in Lahore, Warner has scored 169 runs in 10 Test innings, and his average in 2022 of 20.61 is the lowest for a calendar year in his Test career.But Elgar said South Africa were not specifically going after him alone. “It’s not just him. It’s all of them. We are always trying to find another way to have an edge over your opposition. If this was a way of getting into their minds further, brilliant. I know a guy like KG is the most feared bowler we have here, purely because of his reputation and record. If he has got that confidence running into the next Test, it’s brilliant for us.”Elgar noted how the rest of the attack respond when Rabada is at his best. “What you find is that really got [Anrich] Nortje fired up as well and he was starting to crank it up even more,” he said. “Hopefully that can inspire our batting unit to get their heads right and to knuckle down and get some performance under their belt for us.”Well documented as South Africa’s weaker suit, their line-up slumped to a new low in Brisbane. They were dismissed for under 200 in both innings to make 2022 the year in which they’ve racked up their most sub-200 scores: eight times. They’ve had a lean World Test Championship run, with only two centuries in the campaign, the least among the competing teams, and they appear to lack both confidence and the ability to apply themselves. Still, Elgar defended their latest blowouts.”The guys in the change-room have played enough cricket to know this was one of those instances where we need to be honest and real about what’s just happened,” he said. “It’s not like our guys were throwing wickets away. We were getting absolutely jaffered out and they bowled properly,” he said. “That’s the way I will be approaching that. Coming into this game, our batters were confident. We prepared well and we played the warm-up game. It’s not like the confidence was low.”With a week between games, Elgar won’t be demanding any extra nets or time with the analyst. “I can’t see us hitting more balls and becoming better cricketers. We have played enough cricket in our personal careers and guys know their games really well, so hitting another 100 or 200 balls is not going to make you a better cricketer,” he said. “I speak from a personal point of view. It’s just one of those games where you failed. I am still confident going into the next one. We will definitely break it down and have chats. I would rather see the guys not do anything until we get to Melbourne. That’s just me.”He also hopes they don’t get too wrapped up in their own heads and enjoy the occasion of being in Australia over the festive season, which no South African team has done since 2008. “Guys need to tap into their mental spaces, which can be the biggest enemy, because you can really withdraw yourself instead of dealing with what’s happened and facing it,” he said.Asked if South Africa would consider changes to their XI, including an extra batter, Elgar said “all options are on the table” but repeated his preference for a six-five split, to accommodate the specialist spinner. “The option of seven-four was a talking point but I like having a specialist spinner. We didn’t even get to day three let alone four or five where the wickets are going to spin so Kesh’s [Keshav Maharaj] role was nullified by the game being over in two days,” he said. “I am still very much a captain who wants a spinner because he gives us a lot of control and allows our seamers to have a break where we can rotate them from one end but all options are open going into the next one.”Elgar confirmed that if South Africa were to include an extra batter, “Theunis de Bruyn is the next batter in”.

Manchester United are among the frontrunners to sign a £50 million “super talent” who could be seen as a replacement for Rasmus Hojlund, according to a recent report.

Hojlund’s run of games without a goal continues

The Red Devils brought in the Denmark international in August 2023, knowing that he is still very young and raw and, therefore, is not the finished article. However, there would have been the hope and expectation that his game would have improved come his second season in England, but his struggles in front of goal are continuing even under Ruben Amorim.

It is just seven goals in 31 games across all competitions this season, while five have come in the Europa League and only two have come in the Premier League, despite being a regular starter. His last goal came in the win over Viktoria Plzen in December, a game in which he bagged two, and since then he has gone 14 games without a goal.

The 22-year-old is averaging just 0.7 shots per game, 0.3 of which are on target, and this probably sums up the attacking problem at United, as Hojlund isn’t doing enough in front of goal, but he is also not being given the opportunities by his teammates to be a threat.

Hojlund has just 12 goals to his name in 49 total Premier League appearances and, given United are linked with players such as Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Osimhen, his form in front of goal is clearly a concern for Amorim and his position in the team could be in real danger.

Man Utd are frontrunners to sign £50m star

But it is not just Gyokeres or Osimhen who could replace Hojlund, as according to Football Insider, Man United are also in the race to sign Liam Delap from Ipswich Town.

The 22-year-old has really impressed in the Premier League since joining Ipswich, and now both United and Chelsea are interested in signing him when the summer transfer window opens. The Tractor Boys are in a relegation battle, and they could find it hard to keep hold of the striker should they drop back into the second tier.

United and Chelsea are considered the frontrunners to sign the forward who has scored nine goals in 23 league games, but it could be a costly purchase, as Ipswich are said to value Delap at £50 million. The young striker has been so impressive this season and has been the subject of much praise from pundits, with Danny Murphy labelling the striker a “super talent”.

Assists	0	2
Shots (On target)	13 (6)	39 (19)
Shots per 90	1.05	1.99
Goals per shot	0.15	0.18

Delap is already familiar with the area of Manchester, as he came through the academy at United’s arch-rivals, Manchester City. However, that isn’t putting United off, as they have obviously been left impressed by his performances in a struggling team, and he could be seen as an upgrade on Hojlund, who Delap has nearly outscored in the Premier League in just half a season.

Shifting their focus towards the summer transfer window, Manchester United are now reportedly seriously considering a move worth over £66m to sign a midfield reinforcement.

Man Utd transfer news

More than almost anyone in the Premier League, Manchester United desperately need reinforcements. If the remaining months of Erik ten Hag’s reign began to expose the quality of the current side, then Ruben Amorim’s first few months have revealed all.

The former Sporting CP boss has quickly been forced to realise the reality of the situation he has joined, often left to work with square pegs in round holes. His 3-4-2-1 system simply has not worked with the current squad and, in truth, that should have been a given.

Amorim arrived to use a system that was relying on wing-backs in a squad without natural solutions until Patrick Dorgu joined. He also arrived to use a system which does not use wingers in a squad built around Marcus Rashford, Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho. So, even on paper, United’s struggles should have always seemed likely.

It’s a problem that INEOS must fix when the summer arrives and hand their new manager players who suit his system – perhaps starting with a Premier League midfielder.

According to reports in Spain, Manchester United are now seriously considering an €80m (£66.3m) chase to sign Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace. Just back from a hamstring injury, the England international is gradually working his way towards full fitness and his best form, perhaps just in time for the summer transfer window to arrive.

At his best, Wharton helped to transform Oliver Glasner’s side in the second half of last season before seeing injury disrupt his first full campaign at Selhurst Park. Reportedly maintaining his pricey valuation nonetheless, Manchester United will have to raise an impressive sum if they are to sign the midfielder this summer.

"Great" Wharton needs time

Fresh from injury and yet to complete a full season in the Premier League, Wharton should maintain his patience and avoid joining what could quickly turn into a nightmare move at Manchester United.

Several players in the past have instantly regretted completing such moves and given that Palace are currently above the Red Devils in the Premier League, Wharton would need to question whether it’s a risk worth taking this summer.

Praised by Glasner last season, the Austrian told reporters when asked about Wharton: “[As coaching staff] we tell him, or give him, one or two tips and he tries to do it. He has a great quality and he’s fit, which is unusual as he [is] playing almost every single minute of every single game.

“He always shows great performances with his passing, with his solutions and with his hard working in central midfield together with Will Hughes, it’s very important for us. He’s at the beginning of a great career and we will support him as good as possible.”

Another question is whether Manchester United can even afford such a hefty deal. Their financial limitations are no secret and they must sell before they can even think about reaching Wharton’s reported price tag.

The win put Thunder joint-top on the points table with Scorchers, who had their winning run at home snapped

AAP04-Jan-2023A well-crafted half-century by Oliver Davies steered Sydney Thunder to an impressive six-wicket BBL win against the Perth Scorchers at Optus Stadium on Wednesday night.Thunder restricted the home side to 142 for 9 from their 20 overs, then chased down the target with three overs to spare.Davies made 58 from 47 balls, including four fours and two sixes, leaving his side to get 29 from 31 balls when he holed out to mid-off.Alex Ross finished the job, blasting an unbeaten 41 off 18 balls, including three fours and three sixes.To make matters worse for the home side, star seamer Jhye Richardson was unable to finish his spell, leaving the ground injured with two balls remaining in his fourth over.The result drew the Thunder level with top-of-the-table Scorchers with five wins, and snapped the latter’s run of eight wins at Optus Stadium.Thunder were in trouble at 10 for 2 after two overs, with Richardson on a hat-trick after he dismissed overseas players Alex Hales and Rilee Rossouw for ducks.But Davies joined Matthew Gilkes (32) at the crease, and the pair put on a crucial 67-run partnership from 52 balls.Scorchers had got off to a poor start too, stumbling to 47 for 4 after 10 overs, but the visitors threw off their early struggles to move to 75 for 2 at the same point of their innings, needing 68 runs from the remaining 60 deliveries.Earlier, Ashton Turner was the only Perth batter to trouble the Thunder bowlers, belting 61 from 37 balls. This came after Scorchers chose to bat and fell to 10 for 2 after the first four powerplay overs, their first boundary coming off the fourth ball of the fifth over.In his final appearance of the tournament, Faf du Plessis fell for 1, caught at third man after he top-edged a ramp shot. It continued a lean run at Optus Stadium for him; he made scores of 14, 6, 3 and 1 in front of home fans to finish with a total of 163 runs, including a high score of 68, from his seven innings.Oliver Davies’ younger brother Joel made his BBL debut and was never far from the action, catching Cameron Bancroft and Nick Hobson, and firing searing balls in from the deep that saw Adam Lyth and Matt Kelly run out.Chris Green, with 1 for 15 from four overs, was economical, while Nathan McAndrew (3 for 29 from four) removed danger man Turner as he accelerated toward the back end of the innings.

Amid the uncertainty over Andre Onana's United future, Chevalier has been linked with a move to Old Trafford. The 23-year-old has impressed for the Ligue 1 team in recent seasons and now he has opened the door to an English top-flight move.

He said, via Sport Witness: "The Premier League? It’s a league that makes you dream, the most attractive. When you see Tottenham, Manchester United struggling with crazy players, you can see the level a bit. I have a two-year contract, and you know the president (Oliver Letang) [laughs]. I haven’t had any specific offers from this country, but it makes you think."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Onana has made multiple high-profile errors since his £44 million ($58m) move from Inter Milan in 2023, throwing into doubt his long-term suitability as United's number one. The Red Devils have also been linked with Torino keeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, so a big summer lies ahead for Onana and Ruben Amorim's team.

  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Pachuca will face América in the Clausura 2025 quarterfinals. The first leg will be played this Wednesday at Estadio Hidalgo, while the second leg will be held Saturday at Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes, América’s home ground. Venezuelan striker Salomón Rondón stirred up the lead-up to the Liguilla clash by claiming that América’s three-peat is tainted. Rondón recalled their knockout series in Clausura 2024, which América won with a controversial late goal by Julián Quiñones, originating from a debatable referee decision.

  "That three-peat is pretty tainted because of certain things. When we were at the Azteca, it was clearly our throw-in, but of course, América sells more,” Rondón told Fox Sports. “I’m not taking away their merit, but without that play, the match would’ve ended, and we wouldn’t be talking about América as three-time champions,” added the Venezuelan, who is preparing for another showdown against Las Águilas.

  In their Clausura 2025 regular-season meeting, the team from Hidalgo defeated América 1–0 at home with a goal from Rondón, ending the Azulcremas’ six-match unbeaten streak in Liga MX.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  There’s no doubt that Pachuca is aiming to eliminate América and prevent André Jardine’s team from achieving a historic four-peat. Guillermo Almada’s see this quarterfinal matchup as a chance for revenge after what happened in Clausura 2024, when they were just seconds away from advancing to the semifinals – only for a stoppage-time goal by Julián Quiñones to send América through, a moment that paved the way for their back-to-back titles.

  Pachuca lost just one of the nine home matches they played in the current tournament, so securing a positive result this Wednesday could be crucial in the outcome of the series.

  WHAT ÁLVARO FIDALGO SAID

  In an interview with ESPN, the captain of revealed why Pachuca has been a headache for América in recent years, recalling their elimination in the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup.

  "When you come off a loss in the CONCACAF Champions Cup against Pachuca, they come in with positive momentum and you with negative momentum, and then a week after being eliminated, you have to face them again (Clausura 2024), and it’s tough. It happened with Pachuca, but it could’ve happened with any other team — it’s partly mental," said Álvaro Fidalgo.

Meg Lanning will return to captain Australia in the ODI series against Pakistan next month following her extended break from the game and appears likely to be available for the T20 World Cup in February.However, Alyssa Healy, who took over the captaincy for the recent tour of India, will miss the series following the calf strain she picked up in Mumbai. Beth Mooney will take the keeping gloves.Lanning stepped away following the Commonwealth Games in August for personal reasons, missing the WBBL and the five T20Is in India.Shortly after the squad announcement, Lanning posted on Instagram about her experiences of the last five months.”Sometimes you just have to hit pause, step back and take a breather,” she wrote. “That’s certainly what I needed. The past 6 months have taught me a lot. I’ve learnt so much about myself and who and what is important to me.”I’ve always played my cards pretty close to my chest. This experience has given me a greater appreciation of how opening up and talking to the people that care about you really can make the tough times feel easier. It’s ok to ask for help and admit that you don’t have everything under control.”Having enjoyed some time and space, I feel refreshed and ready to play the game that I love in teams that I love. It’s such an exciting time for the game and I can’t wait to be part of it!” Shawn Flegler, the national selector, said: “Meg brings so much to the side both on and off the field, and it’s pleasing to welcome her back at such an important time with the T20 World Cup just over a month away. While we welcome Meg back, Alyssa won’t have recovered from her calf injury in time, so that presents an opportunity for Beth to take the gloves in her absence.Jess Jonassen has been included but will need to prove her fitness having picking up a hamstring injury in India.Kim Garth and Phoebe Litchfield have been retained from the T20I squad but Heather Graham, who took a hat-trick in the final match, Grace Harris and Amanda-Jade Wellington have been left out.Tahlia McGrath, who captained the final T20I in India after Healy’s injury, will continue as vice-captain.Australia will have a new-look opening pair with Healy and the retired Rachael Haynes absent from the side that played the ODI World Cup final against England in April.The three ODIs against Pakistan will take place on January 16, 18 and 21 with the first two matches at Allan Border Field in Brisbane and the last at North Sydney Oval.
