According to Football.London journalist Alasdair Gold, Tottenham starlet Troy Parrott could see a lot more first-team action due to a proposed change to the Premier League’s rules.

What did he say?

With English football gearing up for a restart next month, one of the potential talking points has surrounded whether the Premier League will allow for an increase to the usual three substitutions that you can make during a match, as a result of maintaining player fitness.

And now, Gold has suggested that if the rule does get tweaked, then Parrott could indeed be one of the main beneficiaries, so as long as he impresses Jose Mourinho during these upcoming weeks.

Is it Mido or Pedro Mendes? This Spurs quiz will separate the loyal from the fake…

World Class score: 95% | Expert score: 80% | Veteran score: 65% | Intermediate score: 45% | Amateur score: 30% | Try Again: 5%

He said: “You’d hope so. Much depends on how much he impresses Mourinho during these weeks before the season resumes, if it does.

“The Spurs boss likes to make a point and if he still feels the young Irishman isn’t ready then he won’t hesitate to show that and Parrott has to get on the bench in the first place with a fully fit set of attacking options.”

Opportunity

If clubs are allowed to make five substitutes, then Parrott will surely have no better chance to showcase his potential to Mourinho than now.

The Spurs boss will have greater scope to be more flexible with the way he uses his players off the bench, and that should allow Parrott the opportunity to get on to the pitch more often.

Of course, the latest injury news on the striker suggests that he will miss the start of the Premier League’s restart, but the north Londoners have confirmed that he will be returning to training later in June.

Once he gets back to full fitness, it will be up to Parrott to show why Mourinho deserves to trust him more.

Newcastle United fans have been reacting to the latest takeover news on social media as the Daily Mail’s Craig Hope provided a fresh update.

He claims that the Premier League is set to revamp their directors and owners test in light of the moral, political and legal difficulties presented by the Saudi-backed proposed takeover of the Magpies.

The Greatest Bargains in Premier League history – How much did they cost?

World Class score: 95% | Expert score: 80% | Veteran score: 65% | Intermediate score: 45% | Amateur score: 30% | Try Again: 5%

However, Hope also suggests that a decision could extend into next week but the deal is still likely to be approved due to current limitations over the test.

It’s been over a month since reports first emerged and the longer it takes to complete, the more some supporters are beginning to doubt it even happening.

Saudi Arabia’s involvement has come with controversy and opposition, but many at St James’ Park are merely desperate to see someone else in charge of the club – they can only dream of Mike Ashley leaving after a torrid 13 years at the helm.

Newcastle have suffered mediocrity for far too long and this prospective deal could bring them a new lease of life.

Here’s how fans have been reacting to the latest update…

QPR chief executive Lee Hoos has not minced his words in reacting to the EFL’s decision to resume the Championship season on 20 June.

News of the English second tier’s planned restart comes just days after the Premier League announced that top-flight action is set to return on 17 June, but Hoops CEO Hoos is far from pleased with the EFL’s decision.

Giving his reaction to the club’s official website qpr.co.uk, he said: “I am absolutely stunned by this announcement, as is our Director of Football Les Ferdinand and our manager Mark Warburton.

“Incredibly, there has been absolutely no consultation with individual clubs nor with the Championship doctors’ working group by the divisional representatives – or anyone else in the Football League – regarding this matter. On top of that, we were only made aware of the statement 40 minutes before it was made public.

“Having spoken with Les and Mark, they share my views. We are vehemently opposed to this schedule. The players haven’t even returned to full-contact training at this moment and yet they are now expected to be in a position to play at a competitive level in just three weeks’ time.

“I have made our feelings known to the EFL and, having spoken with a number of CEOs at other Championship clubs, I am not a lone voice on this matter. We are absolutely appalled.”

As it stands, QPR are 13th in the Championship but still harbour very realistic hopes of finishing in a play-off place, just six points behind sixth-placed Preston with nine matches still to play (as per TransferMarkt). Therefore, the R’s still have a tangible incentive to resume rather than merely being left to play out the remainder of their season.

Despite the UK government approving the return of live sport behind closed doors from today, Hoos’ concerns about QPR returning to action on 20 June are understandable. His reservations about the players not being able to adequately get up to match speed by then, considering that they have yet to resume full contact training, are quite valid. Also, for Warburton to share similar concerns, as someone who works daily with the players on the training pitch, is significant.

Indeed, if Hoos is accurate in saying that the EFL took the decision to resume the Championship without even consulting key stakeholders, that reflects terribly on the league’s hierarchy.

Furthermore, QPR potentially face a stiffer challenge than most clubs in terms of players’ fitness and availability – Warburton has a modest squad size of 24 players, the fourth smallest in the division (as per TransferMarkt). Therefore, he can ill afford a glut of injuries or enforced absences when the season resumes.

While some Hoops fans might be eagerly looking forward to the return of live football, albeit without being able to attend matches, Hoos is quite justified in his “vehement” opposition to restarting the season in just 19 days’ time.

QPR fans, do you agree with Hoos’ strong criticism of the decision to resume the Championship on 20 June? Comment below with your views!

فجرت صحيفة “توتو سبورت” الإيطالية أن حارس مرمى الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي ميلان، جيانلويجي دوناروما، قد وضع زملاءه في الروسونيري بعد مباراة أتالانتا الأخيرة في الدوري الإيطالي.

وينتهي عقد دوناروما مع ميلان في 30 يونيو 2021، وبالتالي، سيرحل مجانًا إذا لم يتوصل لاتفاق هو ووكيله، مينو رايولا، مع إدارة النادي الإيطالي.

ورفض رايولا عرض ميلان الأخير براتب سنوي قيمته 8 ملايين يورو، وطلب الوكيل من الروسونيري الحصول على راتب قدره 10 ملايين يورو إلى جانب عمولة تتراوح بين 15 إلى 20 مليون يورو.

رفض ميلان هذه الطلبات من رايولا، لأن هذا يعني أنهم سيعيدون شراء حقوق اللاعب الذي خرج من أكاديمية النادي وتطور ليصبح لاعبًا أساسيًا في “سان سيرو”.

وزعمت الصحيفة أن دوناروما قد ودع جميع زملاءه في ميلان بعد نجاحهم في العودة إلى بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا من جديد بعد غياب طويل.

ويخضع بديل دوناروما، مايك ماينان، حارس نادي ليل بطل الدوري الفرنسي لفحوصات طبية خلال الساعات المقبلة للانضمام إلى ميلان.

تحدث ياسر ريان، لاعب الأهلي السابق عن مباراة القمة، اليوم الإثنين، بين المارد الأحمر والزمالك، في إطار منافسات الأسبوع الحادي والعشرين من بطولة الدوري المصري الممتاز.

وقال ياسر ريان خلال مداخلة ببرنامج “وان تو” عبر إذاعة “أون سبورت إف إم”: “تشكيل الأهلي الأخير أمام الزمالك في المباراة الماضية بنسبة 99% هو الذي سيخوض به موسيماني مباراة اليوم”.

وتابع: “تشكيل الزمالك لن يكون فيه تغييرات كثيرة، وارد فقط البدء بشيكابالا، لاعبو القطبين كتاب مفتوح أمام بعضهما البعض”.

وأضاف: “الزمالك لو بدأ المباراة بنفس بداية اللقاء السابق سيصعب الأمور عليه، مباريات القمة مفتوحة، وتعتمد على السمات الشخصية للاعبين أنفسهم”.

وواصل: “موسيماني يمتلك حلول على دكة الاحتياطي، وسيستخدمهم على حسب سير اللقاء، ومحمد شريف يستطيع اللعب في مركز الطرف أو المهاجم الصريح، وأكرم توفيق لاعب خط وسط دفاعي جيد”.

واستكمل: “دكة الزمالك أيضا ثقيلة، واحتياطي الأبيض والأهلي دائمًا هم من يحسمون المواجهات”.

واختتم: “أداء الأهلي ليس الأفضل مع موسيماني، ولكن وارد أن الحالة البدنية للاعبين قليلة، بالتأكيد هناك كواليس وراء ذلك، حتى عندما يفوز الأهلي نشعر وكأن هناك شيء غير منضبط في الفريق وأن الأداء متذبذب، لكن لن أحمل المدير الفني كل شيء، لأن اللاعبين في أيديهم 99% نجاح المدرب، اللاعبون في القطبين هم من يصنعون المدير الفني وليس العكس”.

The games continue to come thick and fast for Sunderland, but for manager Phil Parkinson the match against Leicester U21s provides him with the ideal chance to run the rule over the fringe players in his squad.

Laurens De Bock and Brandon Taylor could be involved again after being selected in the matchday squad in the last Leasing.com trophy fixture against Grimsby, with the latter starting at centre-back.

Another who looks set to get his chance is Benji Kimpioka, according to Phil Parkinson’s comments, and his inclusion is a great chance for him to stake his claim for long-term first-team involvement.

Some fans have called for the 19-year-old to be given an opportunity following a return of two goals in six games for the struggling under 23s, and a fixture against a team mainly made up of youngsters should prove suitable.

What’s more, game time has been limited for the winger in the senior side, and so far he has accumulated just nine minutes of playing time this term – none of which came under Jack Ross.

As a result, he should be determined to make the most of his opportunity, and with Lynden Gooch currently sidelined there is a vacant position at right-wing – Luke O’Nien had to play out of position in that role against Southend at the weekend.

Kimpioka seems to have that battling spirit, too, previously stating he will fight to earn a first-team place. He has showed signs of potential, enough for the club to try and pin him down to a long-term deal, and if he begins to show his ability against Grimsby he’ll likely get more chances.

Josh Maja and Denver Hume are recent examples of successful academy graduates, while Parkinson has a track-record of trusting youngsters, as evidenced by his time at Bolton when he introduced Luca Connell, who subsequently thrived and earned a move to Celtic, into the first team.

If Kimpioka can showcase his pace and direct style he will offer Sunderland an alternative option on the wing, and could begin to push for more substitute appearances and further starts in cup competitions – with Gillingham visiting in the FA Cup at the weekend.

As if he couldn’t endear himself to the fans anymore.

Ben White certainly has made a great impression in his first couple of months in a Whites shirt since joining on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion.

He’s been lauded with praise from the fans, and has even picked up a Player of the Month award to go with it.

He’s been getting plaudits from the pundits as well, with former Leeds man Noel Whelan saying that he could go on to reach the heights of £80m Manchester United defender Harry Maguire.

There was one incident though in this weekend’s game against Birmingham that has really got fans talking.

In the second half and with the visitors bearing down on goal, White threw himself in front of an effort from Alvaro Gimenez and received a bit of a whack in the process for his troubles.

Leeds supporters loved the commitment that he showed in defending the cause, even though he isn’t technically one of their players.

Here’s what they had to say.

On the day that Leeds celebrated their 100th anniversary, you wonder if he’s going to go down in the same breath as some of the legends that have gone before him at Elland Road with moments like this. Although he may have to stick around for a lot longer than his one season on loan to find out.

Ben Chilwell got the nod to start against Danny Rose against Bulgaria on Monday and it has led some Tottenham fans to say they want their club to sign him.

Many were impressed with the Leicester man’s display in Sofia, and therefore believe that bringing him to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would be an upgrade on what they currently have.

The Telegraph reported that Spurs were “keeping tabs” on the England international, but it is believed that Leicester would hold out for a large fee – potentially around £75m – in order to let him go.

Chilwell has more than four years remaining on his current contract and with the Foxes harbouring hopes of a top-six finish, it is not difficult to envisage a hefty price being demanded for his services, particularly as Harry Maguire moved for £80m over the summer.

However, that hasn’t prevented Spurs supporters from making their feelings known, with one suggesting he’d be a “huge upgrade” on Rose, and therefore perhaps believing he’d be worth the potential fee given he is 22 years of age and with a ceiling to improve.

Here are some of the calls for the club to try and sign Chilwell.

As we find ourselves in the midst of an international break, what better time to reflect on the start of the campaign than now?

In this instance, we’re talking about transfers. Specifically Crystal Palace’s dealings in the market.

The Eagles completed four signings back in the summer when bringing Gary Cahill, James McCarthy, Jordan Ayew and Victor Camarasa to the club, but how have the quartet got on at Selhurst Park since?

Let’s take a look, and also attempt to rank the signings out of 10…

Gary Cahill 

At 33 years of age, you couldn’t have blamed Palace fans for possibly feeling like Cahill’s best days may have been behind him, but the England international has been brilliant for Palace.

He has helped the Eagles to four wins and a draw from his first six Premier League appearances and has also drawn praise from some supporters on Twitter for his performance against Manchester United.

Cahill has also helped the south Londoners to two clean sheets in those six league outings, with Palace conceding just eight goals in eight games as a whole.

Having arrived for free, there can be few complaints about Cahill’s start to life in SE25.

9/10

James McCarthy 

The Irishman has been in the Premier League for many years now with both Wigan and Everton, ensuring that he would most likely be a safe pair of hands for Palace when they signed him back in the summer.

McCarthy has started just one league game but did well against West Ham when doing so as we detailed here.

The former Hamilton man looks like he’ll fit in perfectly at Palace if the early signs are anything to go by, as his energy in midfield and vast Premier League experience suggests he will by no means be a passenger.

For a man who cost under £1m, the infancy of his Palace career suggests McCarthy will be an astute piece of business.

6/10

Jordan Ayew

It seems as if on-loan Jordan Ayew is a completely different player to permanently contracted Jordan Ayew.

Having scored just one league goal while on loan last term, Ayew has scored three in seven so far for Palace this season, including the winning goals against Aston Villa and West Ham.

He has led the line admirably while Christian Benteke continues to misfire and Connor Wickham’s polystyrene knees remain – in truth, he has been the only Palace striker who looks up for it this season.

The former Swansea man looks a man reborn in that No.9 shirt, and like Cahill, there can be few complaints about him.

9/10

Victor Camarasa 

This is a tough one to judge.

The Spaniard joined from Real Betis on a season-long loan, but his only start has come against Colchester in the Carabao Cup – apart from that, he has played just five Premier League minutes.

As a result, we simply can’t give him too high a rating.

In that game against Colchester however, while Palace did eventually lose on penalties, Camarasa was handed the WhoScored Man of the Match award, having taken two shots while also completing three key passes.
