Sunderland fans are living in a dreamland at the moment.

For so many years, the Black Cats had struggled to get back up to the Premier League, with a dire four-season stay in League One very much the Wearside outfit at their depressing worst.

Now, however, Sunderland look ready to compete with the very best in the Premier League, having spent a combined £141.5m on brand new signings this summer, with all that spending immediately paying off when the Black Cats brushed West Ham United aside on the opening day with ease in a 3-0 win.

It will be about following up that stunning victory with more and more wins, as plenty of new signings are also tipped to join Regis Le Bris’ camp before the transfer window closes.

Sunderland planning new £24m bid

12 new signings may well already be through the door on Wearside, but that number looks set to increase.

Le Bris and Co. could soon be splashing the cash even more by landing Brian Brobbey and Abdul Fatawu in quick succession, with the Ajax striker worth around the £17m mark, alongside his Leicester City counterpart’s steep valuation of £30m.

Of course, some speculative transfer talk – as we head very close to September’s early deadline – should be taken with a pinch of salt, but one rumour that kept floating about earlier in the window has come back into conversation again.

As per Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb, Sunderland are not giving up on acquiring the services of Bologna titan Jhon Lucumi to strengthen the centre-back department.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

The site states that Sunderland is planning to lodge a new bid for the Colombian that should exceed the £24m mark, having seen their advances rejected by the Serie A outfit in the past.

If they were to finally pick up their desired centre-back target, this might well be bad news for Daniel Ballard moving forward, despite his colossal presence on the opening day against Graham Potter’s flimsy Hammers.

Why Lucumi could be bad news for Ballard

The above graphic just reinforces how stellar of an opening weekend Ballard had in the Premier League, with an imposing 16 duels won in total sticking out, away from his headed effort on the day, giving Le Bris’ men a two-goal cushion.

However, it will undoubtedly be difficult for Ballard to keep this up over a full season, which is his first ever campaign in the English top-flight, no less, when you assess his recurring injury difficulties on Wearside.

While he can boast seven goals from 90 appearances, alongside possessing a promotion up to the top-flight on his Black Cats CV, he has missed a worrying chunk of games across his three campaigns at the Stadium of Light due to injury, 65 clashes to be exact, as per Transfermarkt.

He has also shown he can struggle against Premier League opposition, away from all the glowing words surrounding his West Ham display, as the ex-Arsenal youth player inexplicably scored an own goal against Newcastle United in the Tyne-Wear Derby last year to hand the Magpies a 3-0 success in the FA Cup.

Therefore, snapping up Lucumi might well be deemed a worthwhile venture to pursue at £24m, considering his Serie A expertise and his often injury-free status.

The Bologna number 26 has only been unavailable for 16 games due to injuries across his stay at the Serie A club to date, with his 2024/25 offering also seeing him pick up ten clean sheets and average an unerring 92% pass accuracy per top-flight outing.

On the contrary, Ballard – albeit from just 20 games owing to long absences out of the side – only collected a paltry two clean sheets in Championship action, with an 88% pass accuracy also paling in comparison to Lucumi’s numbers.

Heralded as being an “unreal” potential signing for Sunderland to make by journalist Ethan Todd, Lucumi does feel as if he would add significant depth to an area of the pitch that could be depleted if Ballard were to be out of action.

Even when the 25-year-old is fully at the races, the South American no doubt would keep him on his toes, as Le Bris attempts to get all his final signings over the line, just in time for September to roll around.

The next Amad: Sunderland exploring move for "unplayable" £30m star

Regis Le Bris could pick up Sunderland’s next Amad Diallo by sealing a deal for this tricky attacker.

تحدث الثنائي محمد عبد الجليل نجم الأهلي السابق، وبشير التابعي نجم الزمالك السابق، عن الأزمة التي تمر بها القلعة البيضاء، خلال الفترة الحالية، مؤكدين أهمية دعم النادي في هذا التوقيت الصعب الذي يشهد تراجعًا ماليًا وفنيًا واضحًا.

وقال محمد عبد الجليل في تصريحات عبر برنامج “اللعيب” على قناة “MBC مصر”: “دعونا نتفق أن كرة القدم لا طعم لها بدون نادي الزمالك، فحتى عندما يفوز الأهلي ببطولة، أشعر بسعادة أكبر حين تكون على حساب الزمالك، لأن المنافسة بين الناديين هي التي تمنح اللعبة قيمتها ومتعتها”.

وتابع: “لا يصح أن يسقط نادي الزمالك بهذه الطريقة، وأنا أضم صوتي إليك وأقولها بوضوح: يجب أن نكون أول من يقف إلى جانب نادي الزمالك في هذه المرحلة”.

وأضاف: “أتمنى أن يمتنع النادي الأهلي عن التعاقد مع أي لاعب من الزمالك لمدة خمس أو ست سنوات مقبلة، فالأهلي يجب أن يساند الزمالك الآن، لأن قوة المنافسة بينهما تصب في مصلحة الكرة المصرية كلها”.

ورد عليه بشير التابعي، نجم الزمالك السابق، مُستنكرًا: “كابتن عبد الجليل، الزمالك لم يسقط فنيًا كما يقال، بل يمر بأزمة مالية فقط”.

واختتم: “نادي الزمالك ما زال كبيرًا، وما زال يمتلك فنانين داخل الملعب، أنت تتحدث وكأن الزمالك أصبح ينافس على الهبوط، وهذا غير صحيح على الإطلاق”.

Chelsea have now opened talks with the representatives of Barcelona star Fermin Lopez, which comes as a shock amid their long-winded pursuit of RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons.

Enzo Maresca’s side, amid their desperate bid to offload the likes of Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku to make room in their squad, opened negotiations over signing Simons weeks ago.

Negotiations for the Dutchman have been ongoing ever since, and despite some reports to the contrary, a full agreement with Leipzig still hasn’t been reached.

Just five days remain until the transfer window shuts on September 1, and Maresca was believed to be prioritising deals for both Man United winger Alejandro Garnacho and the 22-year-old before the deadline.

However, reports that Barca’s Lopez has emerged as a concrete target during this final stretch have prompted many questions.

The Spaniard, who has become a star under Hansi Flick, has been approached by Chelsea as the Blues reach out to his camp, according to multiple reliable sources, with Chelsea now eyeing a late move for Lopez who’d come as an alternative to Simons.

The 22-year-old made 46 appearances in all competitions last term – scoring eight goals and bagging 10 assists – including a brace of goal contributions against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

His quality is pretty much undeniable, as is the notion that he’d provide Maresca with a serious playmaking upgrade who’s also capable of playing on the left-wing.

Chelsea's plan for Xavi Simons after opening talks with Fermin Lopez

Some on-lookers may assume from Chelsea’s contact that they are moving on to Lopez after contacting his entourage, but that apparently isn’t the case.

According to journalist Simon Phillips, Chelsea are attempting to put pressure on Leipzig to sell Simons by approaching Lopez, with the Bundesliga sensation very much still their priority right now.

If Chelsea do turn their attentions fully towards Lopez, the asking price is believed to be around £60 million.

“We need to give a little bit back to the bowlers,” says the former South Africa captain who is also part of ICC’s cricket committee

PTI11-Jan-2025Shaun Pollock, the media representative of the ICC’s cricket committee, has said that the body is “working on something” to give bowlers “bit more leeway on wides”, particularly with batters often moving around the crease in limited-overs formats.”If a batter jumps across [at the] last minute, it doesn’t really work out for me,” Pollock told PTI on the sidelines of the SA20. “I think a bowler, at the start of his run-up, needs to know where he can bowl it.”The current rule tends to suggest that if he [the batter] moves and it’s that point of delivery where the batter is, and that’s according to where the wide will be called, I want a little bit of a change. I want them to know exactly when they’re running up why or how – how can a bowler be expected to change his game plan at the last second when he’s bowling? He needs to have a clear idea where he can go.”So it’s in the pipeline, we’re all discussing. We need to give a little bit back to the bowlers.”As things stand, though, the ICC’s playing conditions specify that a ball should be called a wide if it “passes wide of where the striker is standing and which also would have passed wide of the striker standing in a normal batting position”, and also, it is not a wide “if the striker, by moving, either causes the ball to pass wide of him, or brings the ball sufficiently within reach to be able to hit it by means of a normal cricket stroke”.That aside, at the IPL and the WPL in India since 2023, players – bowlers and batters – have been empowered to review wide calls by umpires using DRS.Simon Taufel, though, has not been in favour of it.”I’m really conscious around trying to turn the art of officiating into a science and seek perfection, whatever that looks like, with decision making,” Taufel had told ESPNcricinfo. “So with wides for example, and here we’re going to, potentially according to you, or according to the player or the debate, take a wide call and throw that back to the third umpire for them to judge on something that might be marginal and is still a judgement call.”Pollock hopes SA’s ‘IPL stars’ make a difference at Champions TrophyPollock said South Africa should look to leverage their players’ experience in subcontinent conditions during the upcoming Champions Trophy, which will be played in Pakistan (with the exception of matches featuring India, which will be played in Dubai).”You’ve got basically the similar players that were at that [2023 ODI] World Cup, where we got to the semi-final and lost to Australia,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of IPL stars who play for South Africa. In those situations, everything looks good. The amount of IPL players, people like [Heinrich] Klaasen, [David] Miller, even [Quinton] de Kock, all those guys who spend so much time over there, getting an understanding for conditions, that can only help South Africa.”They [have] got the ICC Test Championship [final] now as well, so it’s been some good stuff and, hopefully, some younger individuals come up. We’ve seen it starting to develop in the Test arena.”‘South African cricket needed SA20 injection’The SA20, South Africa’s pre-eminent franchise-based T20 competition, is now in its third season, and Pollock said it had “gone from strength to strength” in its short existence.”Some of the activities at the ground as well, the Catch 2 Million competition this year has been added,” he said. “I know the young kids are taught ‘you’ve got to get to the ground’, because we need some money these days with the economy the way it is. But it’s definitely gone from strength to strength.”South African cricket needed this injection – there’s no doubt about it. They needed something to create a bit of unbelievable interest in the game.”

Tottenham opened their 2025-26 Champions League campaign with a 1-0 victory at home to Villarreal, though will be a tad grateful they were able to claim three points on opening night. Thomas Frank made his debut as a coach in Europe's top club competition and will be relieved that his side took the three points, but will know there is work to do if they are to progress from the league phase.

It took Tottenham only four minutes to take the lead, though it came through fortuitous circumstances. Lucas Bergvall's low cross into Richarlison was easily cut out by Luiz Junior, but somehow the Villarreal goalkeeper fumbled the ball backwards over the goal line.

Spurs wanted a penalty towards the end of the first half when Richarlison was felled by Pape Gueye, though their appeals were dismissed and a lengthy VAR check proved inconclusive. Gueye got away with another VAR call when the ball ricocheted up onto his arm inside the 18-yard box soon after.

An incredibly dull second half almost sparked into life near its end when Micky van de Ven brought down Georges Mikautadze just outside his own penalty area, with VAR confirming a free-kick but not a red card despite the hefty challenge. Former Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe flashed the resulting set piece narrowly wide and that was as close as Villarreal came to finding an equaliser, with Spurs holding on to secure a fourth clean sheet from their opening six matches in all competitions this season.

GOAL rates Spurs' players from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium…

  Goalkeeper & Defence

  Guglielmo Vicario (5/10):

  Flapped at a cross early on and skewed a pass into the feet of an opposition attacker in the second half, but didn't have a lot else to do.

  Pedro Porro (6/10):

  A lot more assured defensively than he has been already this season. Couldn't get forward too often due to Villarreal's pressing.

  Cristian Romero (6/10):

  The only defender who at least tried to make the odd line-breaking pass, even if they were usually cut out pretty swiftly.

  Micky van de Ven (6/10):

  Made a couple of fine recovery challenges with his trademark pace and power, though another referee may have sent him off for his challenge on Mikautadze late on.

  Djed Spence (4/10):

  England's newest international endured a frustrating evening at both ends. Found it tough marking ex-Arsenal winger Pepe, while his reluctance to play the ball down the line made Spurs easy to defend against on the left flank. Hooked for Udogie.

  Midfield

  Rodrigo Bentancur (6/10):

  Kept play ticking neatly in the centre of the park, while he also swept up diligently.

  Lucas Bergvall (7/10):

  It was his cross that led to Junior's strange own goal, though the young Swede could hardly take any credit for breaking the deadlock. Dragged the team up the pitch at times, as Frank has made a point of. Afforded a standing ovation when brought off for Danso.

  Pape Matar Sarr (6/10):

  Found pockets of space between midfield and attack on occasion, but not enough to actually harm Villarreal. Substituted for Palhinha.

  Attack

  Mohammed Kudus (5/10):

  Probably his poorest game since joining Spurs this summer, holding onto the ball for too long and misplacing simple passes.

  Richarlison (5/10):

  The Brazilian's inability to hold the ball up made playing through the middle a chore for Spurs. Taken off for debutant Kolo Muani.

  Xavi Simons (6/10):

  If anyone looked like producing a piece of magic, it was the mercurial Simons. However, he could only show brief glimpses of his trickery before being subbed for Johnson.

  Subs & Manager

  Destiny Udogie (5/10):

  Came on for Spence as he ramps up his return to full fitness. A little overeager in the challenge.

  Joao Palhinha (6/10):

  On in place of Sarr and brought some needed steel to the midfield battle.

  Randal Kolo Muani (5/10):

  Replaced Richarlison. Hardly involved on his first appearance for Spurs.

  Brennan Johnson (5/10):

  On for Simons, though like Kolo Muani couldn't get on the ball too much.

  Kevin Danso (N/A):

  On in stoppage time for Bergvall to see out the win.

  Thomas Frank (6/10):

  Tottenham were poor for much of the evening, though not poor enough to actually cede a chance of note.

Crystal Palace are in the market for attackers this summer and have now received a reply to a bid for a freescoring star who could add another layer across the front four positions, according to reports.

Crystal Palace move on after stalemate with Chelsea

Despite the odds being stacked in Chelsea’s favour, Crystal Palace emerged with a deserved goalless draw at Stamford Bridge over the weekend and will feel a little unfortunate not to have claimed all three points amid Eberechi Eze’s disallowed free-kick.

Nevertheless, getting off the mark in the Premier League standings will come as a relief to Oliver Glasner, who delivered praise to his side and their core members despite speculation over the future of several first-team stars.

He told Sky Sports: “The 15, 16 players who had the most minutes last year are still here. There are a lot of rumours about Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi but they were 100 per cent with this group in Crystal Palace and they have proved that in a big way.”

Without doubt, transfer activity will be what fans want to see at Selhurst Park. Contact has been initiated to sign Arsenal academy graduate Dan Casey, albeit he is unlikely to be an immediate fixture for the Eagles’ if he does cross the London divide.

In a separate sequence of potential events, Jakub Kiwior could join Crystal Palace if Eze moves to Arsenal, though a swap deal scenario would have to occur in order for both players to head in separate directions.

Glasner has somewhat shot down Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in the England international, and the Eagles boss could now be about to open his own transfer chequebook as the FA Cup holders make inroads on the market.

Crystal Palace could return for Christos Tzolis after bid rejected

According to reports in Belgium via Sport Witness, Crystal Palace have seen a £27.6 million bid turned down for Club Brugge winger Christos Tzolis as they look to beef up their forward line.

Regardless, the Eagles could return with another offer, albeit the Belgian giants have no intention of selling the Greece international as they are in a comfortable position to retain his services.

Crystal Palace want to sign £26m star from under nose of Nottingham Forest

The Eagles are keen to get one over their divisional rivals…

BySean Markus Clifford Aug 11, 2025

Labelled “excellent” by Stephen Kountourou, the 23-year-old delivered 21 goals and 16 assists across all competitions inside 56 appearances last term.

Continuing that theme, he has put up five goal contributions in seven 2025/26 matches and continues to be a major attacking threat off the left flank for club and country.

Crucially, Tzolis isn’t opposed to a move to the Premier League and if he decides to agitate for a move, Club Brugge may be forced into action, leaving Crystal Palace in a position to try and zone in to land their man.

O desafio de ajudar o Fluminense a se reencontrar após a eliminação na Copa do Brasil mobiliza também jogadores que estão em alta na equipe. Anunciado entre os convocados de Ramon Menezes para os amistosos da Seleção Brasileira contra Guiné e Senegal, em junho, o capitão Nino falou sobre o contraste entre seu momento pessoal e a decepção do Tricolor das Laranjeiras com a eliminação para o rival Flamengo nas oitavas da Copa do Brasil.

Em entrevista na zona mista após a eliminação da Copa do Brasil no Fla-Flu, o defensor foi categórico ao falar sobre o assunto.

– No momento, estou vivendo um sonho. A Seleção é objetivo de todo jogador. Fico meio dividido, claro, nesse momento pessoal e coletivo, mas em momento nenhum penso na Seleção agora – e emendou:

– Faltam alguns dias para que me apresente lá (à Seleção) e estamos numa fase muito importante aqui no Fluminense. Na qual precisamos reagir no Fluminense – explicou.

A delegação brasileira se apresenta no dia 12 de junho, em Barcelona (ESP). Na cidade, o Brasil fará cinco treinamentos antes da partida contra Guiné, no estádio Cornellà-El Prat, do Espanyol. A partida seguinte, contra Senegal, será no José Alvalade, estádio do Sporting, em Lisboa.

Enquanto isso, o Fluminense volta a jogar no próximo domingo (4), às 16h, contra o Red Bull Bragantino, no Maracanã, pela 9ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. O Tricolor ocupa atualmente a 8ª posição, com 13 pontos. O Massa Bruta tem a mesma pontuação, mas está em 10º lugar.

James Vince has quit first-class cricket for 2025 in a move that will enable him to play in the Pakistan Super League despite the ECB’s new policy on No-Objection Certificates (NOCs). Vince will continue to lead Hampshire’s T20 side but has stepped down as club captain after nine seasons in charge, and will play no part in their County Championship campaign this summer.Vince, 33, was retained by Karachi Kings ahead of the PSL draft on Monday. The ECB announced in November that it will only grant NOCs – the paperwork required for players to feature in overseas leagues – to white-ball specialists for tournaments that take place during the English season, with the notable exception of the IPL.The new policy, and the PCB’s decision to shift its flagship tournament into a new April-May window, left Vince with a choice between skipping the PSL – at significant financial cost – or renegotiating the final year of his Hampshire contract to become a white-ball specialist. He has chosen the latter, in a move confirmed by the club on Wednesday morning.”I love Hampshire,” Vince said. “It’s been my club and home for 16 years, so I want to be able to maintain my best to keep delivering for Hampshire in T20 cricket, and hopefully even further our success in the competition [the Blast]. I also need to understand what is best for my family, and combine that with the stage of my career I am at.”Hampshire cited Vince’s decision to relocate his family to Dubai – where he is currently playing for Gulf Giants – as a major factor in his new deal, following a series of unexplained attacks on their home in the county last year. “I am so grateful to everyone at Utilita Bowl for supporting me last year through a really tough time, and for allowing me to make this next step,” Vince said.Related

Giles White, Hampshire’s director of cricket, asked the club’s supporters to be understanding of Vince’s decision. “James has been at the heart of the club for the best part of 20 years, showing absolute commitment on and off the field as the team’s leading batter and captain,” he said.”We recognise that this announcement will be tinged with disappointment for many fans but hope everyone will join us in celebrating what he has given to our club over many years and supporting him as he fulfils his commitment to continue leading the Hawks in the 2025 Vitality Blast.”Vince is the first high-profile player to make a major career decision informed by the ECB’s new policy and even if, at 33, he was unlikely to add to his 13 Test caps, his move is significant. He has captained Hampshire since 2015 and has been the linchpin of their batting line-up, scoring 29 hundreds and averaging 41.22 across his 197 first-class matches for them.Tom Kohler-Cadmore could follow Vince’s lead•PCB

Tom Kohler-Cadmore, who was signed on a lucrative contract by Peshawar Zalmi on Monday, is likely to follow Vince’s lead and has committed to playing in the PSL. He has been speaking to Somerset and the ECB in a bid for clarity over whether he will need to renegotiate his own deal – moving to a white-ball contract – in order to be granted an NOC.Players reacted furiously when the ECB announced its new policy in November, threatening legal action, but the board has dug its heels in since. Richard Gould, the ECB’s chief executive, said last month that the policy is designed “to defend our game” and that the collective interest of English cricket “takes precedence over the priorities of an individual”.2025 will be Hampshire’s first season under new ownership, after the GMR Group – who co-own Delhi Capitals in the IPL – agreed a multi-million pound deal to buy the club from Rod Bransgrove last year. GMR are also expected to become owners of Southern Brave, the Hundred team based at Utilita Bowl, assuming they meet the ECB’s valuation.

Nepal scripted a seven-wicket win over Malaysia with Puja Mahato starring with ball and bat

ESPNcricinfo staff24-Jan-2025

Pakistan signed off from the Women’s Under-19 World Cup with a win over Samoa as the winless teams from the group stage of the tournament played for ranking spots in Johor on Friday.The batters did it for Pakistan, though they were helped along by indiscipline on the part of the inexperienced Samoa bowlers, who conceded 21 extras, including 18 wides, after opting to field. The major contributions for Pakistan came from opener Maham Anees, who scored 28 in 42 balls, and Fatima Khan, who hit 25 in 14 balls with three fours and a six from No. 6. Three other batters also got in double-digits as Pakistan stopped at 136 for 8.For Samoa, Norah Salima, the medium pacer, picked up three wickets and only went at five runs an over, but some of the other bowlers were less effective.Samoa, who had scored 16 (against South Africa) and 40 (against New Zealand) in their two completed matches earlier, put up an improved show with the bat even though they had lost three wickets by the end of the third over. Haniah Ahmer, who ended with 4 for 17, picked up two of those wickets in the same over.Indeed, Samoa kept pace with the asking rate for the first half of their innings, but they got to the ten-over mark with five batters gone. But with contributions – none bigger than opener Verra Farane’s 19 – from around the batting line-up, they got to 84 before they were bowled out. A little more discipline with the ball, and it could have been much closer.Puja Mahato top-scored in Nepal’s chase•ICC/Getty Images

Nepal, meanwhile, made sure hosts Malaysia’s campaign ended as it had gone all along as they eked out a seven-wicket win in the later match in Johor. Captain Puja Mahato was the standout performer for Nepal, first picking up four wickets with her medium pace and then top-scoring in the small chase.Malaysia, who came into the match after putting up scores of 23, 31 and 59 in the group stage, only managed 45 in 16.5 overs this time after being asked to bat. Nuriman Hidayah was the only batter to get into double-digits as she scored 15 from 23 balls, with Mahato (4 for 9) and left-arm spinner Rachana Chaudhary (3 for 5) doing most of the damage.The chase was straightforward, and Nepal got there in 11 overs for the loss on three wickets, with Mahato scoring a 32-ball 23 not out. Marsya Qistina Binti Abdullah, the left-arm spinner, picked up all the wickets to fall.
