It's been a busy month for Tottenham Hotspur.

They've already played three pre-season friendlies, with another coming later today, and have signed the incredibly exciting Archie Gray from Leeds United.

However, based on reports and rumours, it seems almost certain that Daniel Levy and Co will be even busier in the remaining weeks of the transfer window as a whole host of stars continue to be linked with the club.

For example, Conor Gallagher and Federico Chiesa are just some of the latest big names touted for big-money moves to N17. However, as exciting as their arrivals would be, they're still worth less than one of the North Londoners' own stars.

The latest on Chiesa and Gallagher

So, we're starting with Chiesa, and it's a bit of a confusing one. The Italian international has been consistently linked with Spurs over the last few weeks, and on Monday night, Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg claimed that talks had started between the player's representatives and the Lilywhites.

However, according to an update from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano yesterday morning, there has yet to be any contact over a potential deal for the winger, although he did not rule out the interest reported in recent weeks.

So, while the progression of this transfer remains up in the air, what seems to be somewhat consistent over the last few weeks is that should the Euro 2020 winner make his way to North London this summer, he'll likely cost around £25m, which for a player of his stature seems quite reasonable.

Now, the situation with Gallagher is more straightforward.

According to a recent update from Sky Sports, the Englishman is wanted by Atlético Madrid and Tottenham, and while the Spanish side are in talks with Chelsea, Levy and Co are expected to make an offer soon.

It's not entirely clear how much they will offer, but according to talkSPORT, the Blues are after a fee north of £50m. However, like Chiesa's, the fee would still be lower than the valuation of one of Postecoglou's star men.

Cristian Romero's valuation in 2024

Yes, the player in question is Argentine international Cristian Romero, who has become one of Tottenham's most important and valuable players since his £42m move from Serie A side Atalanta in August 2021.

According to Transfermarkt, the 26-year-old "monster", as dubbed by journalist Charlie Eccleshare, is now worth €65m, which converts to about £55m, or about £5m more than the potential fee for Gallagher and a whopping £30m more than Chiesa's.

It's an undoubtedly hefty valuation for a centre-back, but it would be hard to deny he's earned it over the last few years, in which he's made 98 appearances for the Lilywhites, won two Copa América and lifted the World Cup in Qatar.

Moreover, according to Lionel Messi, the Córdoba-born titan is the "best defender in the world", and given his countless titles, mountain of goals and eight Ballon d'Ors, he probably knows a thing or two.

The 36-capped international had become such an essential figure in N17 that before the start of last season, the club made him co-vice captain alongside James Maddison, and in the year since, he's more than lived up to the mantle.

The “exciting” youngster has a bright future ahead of him.

Ultimately, signing Chiesa and Gallagher would be tremendously exciting and help improve the team, but they'll have to do something really special in white to see their valuations surpass Romero's.

Fixture had been pushed back four times after UAE squad’s Covid-19 scare

ESPNcricinfo staff17-Jan-2021

After a series of postponements, the second ODI between the UAE and Ireland is finally set to go ahead in Abu Dhabi on Monday, January 18 following approval from local health authorities.Four members of the UAE squad have tested positive for Covid-19 in the past two weeks, meaning the whole squad had to enter self-isolation. It remains to be seen if any of them will be available for Monday’s fixture. UAE won the only game of the series to date by six wickets, thanks to hundreds from Chundangapoyil Rizwan and Muhammad Usman.Ireland begin a three-match World Cup Super League series against Afghanistan on Thursday, January 21, meaning that the UAE series has had to be cut from four fixtures to two.Related

West Indies captain Stafanie Taylor says ‘it means a lot’ to have support of England side for Black Lives Matter

Valkerie Baynes19-Sep-2020

West Indies and England women will take a knee in support of Black Lives Matter during their five T20Is starting on Monday.Stafanie Taylor, the West Indies captain, revealed on Saturday that the teams would perform the gesture and praised England counterpart Heather Knight for offering her side’s support for any way the visiting side wanted to recognise the movement.”They’re very much in support of it,” Taylor said of the England side. “It’s very much what we want to do, and they’re going to support whatever we decide, and, yeah, we are going to be honouring the Black Lives Matter movement.”We will be wearing the Black Lives Matter movement logo on our jersey but, yeah, we’ll be taking a knee for all the games.”ALSO READ: ‘Making cricket more inclusive would be a small positive from the pandemic’ – KnightThe England and West Indies men’s teams wore the same logo on their shirts during the Test series in July. They also took a knee before the start of play throughout the series, as did England and Ireland for their three ODIs. But England, Pakistan and Australia did not perform the gesture during their series, drawing criticism from West Indies great Michael Holding.”It means a lot to us,” Taylor added of England women’s support. “A lot has been happening around the world and you pretty much want to be on the same page. It was really nice of her [Knight] to send a message to say, ‘Hey Staf, you know, we’re very much in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, and we want to support it as best as we can, so let me know what it is that you want to do.’ That brings a smile to all of our faces.”All matches will be played behind closed doors at Derby, where West Indies have been based for three weeks.”It feels like home,” Taylor said. “Normally when we go on a tour it’s like we’re the away team, but this time it feels like we’re the home team pretty much. The girls are in great spirits. We’ve had a few weeks to get out there and get used to the conditions and everything is going well.”Monday’s series opener will be the first women’s international since 86,174 people watched Australia defeat India in the T20 World Cup final in March. Australia will play New Zealand in three T20Is from September 26, followed by three ODIs.”Given what happened in the World Cup, we had 80 something thousand people at the game and probably how many millions actually watching, you definitely want to see the rise again,” Taylor said. “And it’s hard with COVID now, kind of setting the game back. It’s really nice that the women are back up and running.”Taylor, who was stretchered off with a groin injury during West Indies’ penultimate fixture of the T20 World Cup, has missed one of two intra-squad warm-up matches since arriving in England, although she scored 71 in the first.And while allrounder Deandra Dottin has bowled just two overs across both matches as she continues her comeback from shoulder surgery, she has been in decent touch with the bat scoring 41 and 29. Lee-Ann Kirby scored an unbeaten 85 in the second warm-up and Taylor was not worried that those were the only real innings of note.”No it’s not, it’s not a concern at all,” she said. “We basically played against ourselves, and if you split the team, you have to try and balance it. When you look at the scorecard, you basically see that most of the batters who were actually getting runs were the batters, which is good.”That’s what we need, we need the batters to spend that time out in the middle, get yourself in. Even though we’re playing against ourselves, you know, mark yourself hard and I think we did just that.”

It's been a long road to bring Arsenal back to the precipice of Premier League glory for Mikel Arteta, and while he's generally got transfers right in his time, there have certainly been some duds along the way.

The Spaniard has brought in brilliant players like Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, and Kai Havertz, but he has also signed the likes of Pablo Mari, Willian, and Runar Alex Runarsson.

That said, most of his lacklustre purchases have been sold on or released to free up space for better players to come in, apart from one early signing now worth nine times less than Ben White.

Cédric Soares Arsenal career

As one of Arteta's first signings, Cédric Soares moved to Arsenal on a six-month loan deal from Southampton in January 2020 before joining the Gunners on a permanent deal in August of the same year alongside fellow January loanee, Mari.

Due to a severe knee injury, the then-28-year-old only made five appearances for the north Londoners in his loan spell, in which he scored one goal. However, in his first full season at the club, he would go on to play a more significant role, making 24 appearances, although he couldn't nail down the position.

It was a similar story the following season. Despite making 26 appearances, the former Saints ace still found himself spending a lot of time on the bench, although considering that his performance against Liverpool in April of that season left Arsenal great Tony Adams feeling "scared," it was probably for the best.

With the writing clearly on the wall, the Portuguese full-back joined Fulham on loan for the latter half of last season. This term, he has been limited to just five appearances and hasn't even made the matchday squad on multiple occasions.

So, with a rather underwhelming body of work at the club and no path back into the first team, it's not surprising that his valuation is so low.

Cédric Soares valuation in 2024

According to the CIES Football Observatory, Cédric is now worth just €5m, which converts to £4m.

This dreadful valuation means he is the least valuable full-back at the club today.

As if that wasn't bad enough, he's priced around nine times cheaper than White, whom the CIES has priced at €40m or £34m.

It's a combination of his contract expiring this summer and a lack of game time that has led to the 32-year-old's woeful new price, while the Englishman's increasing importance to Arteta's system and brilliant performance this season is behind his ballooning worth.

For example, in his 50 appearances this season, the Poole-born "warrior", as described by talent scout Jacek Kulig, has scored four goals and provided five assists on top of his defensive duties, which have helped the Gunners create the best defensive record in the Premier League this season.

Moreover, while his right-back brother-in-arms has just a few months remaining on his contract, the former Brighton & Hove Albion man has just signed a new deal that has seen his wages rise to £150k-per-week and sees him tied to the club until 2028.

Ultimately, it's probably a good thing for all parties involved that Cédric's deal is set to expire in the summer. While he's a model professional, he hasn't succeeded at the club in any meaningful way, so with his valuation about as low as it could be, it's time he sailed off into the sunset come the end of June.

Arteta hit the jackpot with Arsenal star who's worth £22m more than Sesko

The brilliant ace has been tremendous since the turn of the year.

Leny Yoro reportedly turned down Real Madrid in favour of Manchester United due to a staggering wage disparity between the two teams.

• WHAT HAPPENED?

  After an impressive season for Lille, the 18-year-old joined United in a £52 million ($68m) deal this summer – snubbing Madrid along the way. Now, according to Marca, the centre-back opted to head to Old Trafford after being offered £8 million ($10.5m) in wages, versus a salary of £2.1m ($2.7m) at Los Blancos.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  This, perhaps more than any other of United's summer recruits, was a statement buy from the Red Devils. Yoro is rated as one of the best teenage defenders in Europe, perhaps even the world, so to get him was a real coup. Their reported salary offer also shows how badly they wanted him over Madrid. However, he is currently out injured with a foot problem – one that will sideline him until November.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  The 6ft 3in defender made his first appearance for Lille in the 2021/22 season as a 16-year-old, before having a breakout campaign last term. The France Under-21 international racked up 44 appearances and scored three goals for the Ligue 1 side.

  While Yoro steps up his recovery from injury, one that required surgery in early August, his United side return to Premier League action on Saturday away to lowly Southampton. Madrid, on the other hand, travel to Real Sociedad on the same day in La Liga.

A close advisor of Arsenal sporting director Edu Gaspar has now told the Gunners to make a move for one £40 million Brazil international this summer.

Arsenal targeting four major signings with Edu ready to spend

It is believed by reliable media sources that Arsenal wish to back manager Mikel Arteta with four key signings across a variety of positions.

Indeed, Standard Sport reporter Simon Collings claimed last week that Arsenal are targeting a new goalkeeper, defender, midfielder and striker – with other reports claiming Edu could oversee a record-breaking expenditure on new signings this summer as well.

Defensively, it is thought that the north Londoners have had their eyes on both new full-backs and central defensive options. Arsenal are interested in Sporting Lisbon starlet Ousmane Diomande as an option for the heart of Arteta's backline, and the same can be said for Crystal Palace stalwart Marc Guehi.

At full-back, the north Londoners have been regularly linked with a potential swoop for Turkish defender Ferdi Kadioglu, and some there have even been some suggestions that the £30 million man has already agreed to join them (Yagiz Sabuncuoglu).

It remains to be seen if that audacious claim will come to fruition, but reports like this strongly hint that a new full-back could be on the cards for Arsenal this summer. Arteta is said to want additional cover at right-back, with Jurrien Timber's ACL injury earlier this season perhaps highlighting exactly why that position needs to be reinforced.

Ben White has starred in the role this season, being deployed as a right-back constantly ever since the rise of William Saliba at the start of 2022/2023, but the Englishman has admitted to his limitations.

"Some of the videos I have seen, maybe others don't see it, but if I lost the runner or if I don't do that, they will probably score. It comes back to doing anything to win," said White on his right-back role at Arsenal.

"I know I'm not going to stop everyone and I know I'm not the best one-v-one defender, but I know I can do things to help the team in game situations against their winger.

"Every game, normally the winger is the best player so it's always a challenge and I have to do my homework and try and stop him. There's all sorts [happening at set-pieces], standing on your feet, elbows. It's OK. I just have to stand in the way and see what happens."

Arsenal urged to make Yan Couto move by Edu advisor

Arteta cannot be so reliant on White, despite his phenomenal form, and it is believed that they could look to Brazil international defender Yan Couto.

The £40 million ace, who has enjoyed a fine season on loan at Girona from Man City, is now being looked at. As relayed by Football Transfers, Arteta's side were rumoured to be closing in on a deal for Couto in 2020, but the 21-year-old opted for a move to Eastlands instead.

FT also state their own information that chief scout Paulo Xavier has told Arsenal to make a move for Couto this summer. Indeed, the ex-Real Madrid employee, who is a close advisor of Edu, is said to have pushed the South American forward behind-the-scenes.

It remains to be seen if Arsenal formalise that interest after being advised to, but Couto's age and price tag make him a pretty tempting target.

Leeds United have dealt with the long-term absence of Pascal Struijk rather smoothly, with the first-team face's extended layover in the Elland Road treatment room inadvertently kickstarting a rock-solid centre-back partnership.

Joe Rodon and Ethan Ampadu have become an intimidating duo in the heart of defence for Daniel Farke's automatic promotion hopefuls with the 24-year-old out of action, making Struijk being sidelined since the end of December with a serious injury far easier to come to terms with.

When Struijk does eventually get back to full sharpness again, he could reappear and find he no longer has a settled spot in Farke's starting XI anymore especially if the standout Tottenham Hotspur loanee is kept around permanently after his loan switch expires.

There seem to be hints in recent reports that such a deal could take place this upcoming summer transfer window, with Leeds potentially tempted to sell on Struijk to make a profit on the former Ajax man whilst his transfer value remains high.

Pascal Struijk's time at Leeds

Struijk will go down as a transfer success from a Leeds perspective even if he is sold on soon, purchased when the divisive figure of Victor Orta was still present at the club.

The West Yorkshire titans played a blinder getting Struijk into the building, managing to get the Belgian centre-back in through the door on a free transfer in 2018.

The 6 foot 3 defender never looked back when he first burst onto the scene at Elland Road, going on to become a regular at the back during Leeds' recent Premier League hay-day after bedding in well initially into the U21 set-up.

Struijk has gone on to make 121 appearances for the Whites across five seasons in the men's ranks, helping himself to nine goals as a reliable converter of chances from corner-kicks including this bundled-in goal against Ipswich Town earlier this campaign.

Injury disaster would strike for the Leeds captain – with the armband now belonging to Ampadu – in the match directly after the emphatic 4-0 win over the Tractor Boys, with the Belgian very unlikely to feature again this season for Farke's men in the crunch promotion run-in.

Described as being "crucial" towards the start of this action-packed campaign by his German manager, Struijk being out for as long as he has been could've derailed the Whites.

But, the injury-stricken number 21 has almost been forgotten about now with Rodon and Ampadu heroically forming a staunch partnership to shore up the back four.

It's not out of the question, therefore, that Leeds could decide to cash in on the former Ajax man when he does return to action deeming the other options at the club as stronger than he is now.

A report from L'Equipe before the centre-back's major injury suggested that recent Champions League quarter-final winners Paris St. Germain were once interested in Struijk's services, with PSG known to have lavishly thrown about cash in the past.

Whatever money comes Leeds' way potentially when Struijk is offered out, the Whites will know they will make a handsome profit on the once unproven youngster they signed for £0.

Pascal Struijk's transfer value in 2024

According to Transfermarkt, the Belgian defender's worth is now at a hefty €18m (£15.3m) – with the last valuation taking place in December – which is a far cry from the amount put next to his name in 2020.

Four years ago, when Struijk was still learning the ropes in English football, the 6 foot 3 defender's worth was only at a meagre €750k (£642k) which means his value has risen by a staggering percentage increase of 2283% in such a short time-span.

Year

2023

€18m (£15.3m)

2022

€20m (£17.1m)

2021

€9m (£7.7m)

2020

€750k (£642k)

The big bump-up between 2020 and 2021 was helped by Marcelo Bielsa continually starting the ex-Ajax man in his lineups even whilst Leeds were in the Premier League, giving Struijk his big Leeds break with 27 appearances amassed in the top-flight during the 2020/21 season.

Struijk didn't look out of place either in that high-flying Leeds XI, contributing to seven clean sheets that campaign from 22 starts as a brave warrior unfazed by the bright lights of the top division.

Yet, although the 24-year-old delivered consistently above-average performances that particular season, Leeds' disastrous 2022/23 campaign exposed a lot of his weaknesses at the back.

That could well be why Struijk's value took a slight dent when glancing at the table above, finishing that season with a dismal four clean sheets from 29 appearances which culminated in his side sinking down to the Championship after losing 4-1 to Tottenham on the final day in embarrassing fashion.

This could play on Farke's mind when assessing what members of the Leeds squad he wants at his disposal if they clinch promotion back to the level where Struijk was exposed frequently last time he lined up in that league, with Rodon more deserving arguably of a shot at playing in the Premier League with the Whites over the 24-year-old.

Rodon as Struijk's replacement

Utilised sparingly by Spurs during his Tottenham career to date in the top-flight, with 15 Premier League appearances in total down in North London, it would be a no-brainer decision you feel for the much-loved Welsh figure at Elland Road to move permanently to West Yorkshire when the window opens up in the summer.

Arguably one of the best transfers in the Championship this season, with Rodon only missing two games of second-tier action as a trusted centre-back under Farke, the former Swansea City man has been imperious for large chunks of this season when his team have needed him to be forceful and imposing.

Rodon even won Leeds' Player of the Month accolade for March to recognise his efforts, but he won't want his journey to end with the Whites in the second tier.

With Rodon so well-liked alongside his trusted partner Ampadu at the back, there could well be a scenario this summer where Struijk is moved on to strengthen the Welshman's first-team spot even more.

It won't be an easy decision to make to part ways with the 24-year-old, considering he has shone brightly for the Whites previously in his long stay at the club.

But, Leeds will cast an eye over Struijk's high transfer value and feel the time is right to cash in especially with Rodon looking likely to stay put if the Whites are a Premier League team again next season.
