ميرور: 7 وجهات محتملة لرحيل محمد صلاح عن ليفربول في يناير

يعتقد جيمي ريدناب نجم ليفربول السابق أن مسيرة محمد صلاح قد تنتهي مع الريدز بشكل كارثي خلال سوق الانتقالات الشتوية القادمة في يناير.

وأكد لاعب ليفربول السابق أن النجم المصري لن يكون راضياً بالجلوس على مقاعد البدلاء في ملعب آنفيلد إذا لم يعثر على النادي المناسب.

ولا يمر محمد صلاح بفترة جيدة هذا الموسم، ويبدو أن رحيله عن صفوف ليفربول قد يكون وارداً خاصة مع ابتعاده عن المشاركة بشكل أساسي في آخر مباراتين بالدوري الإنجليزي.

وقال ريدناب في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ميرور” البريطانية: “إنه لاعب عظيم في الدوري الإنجليزي ولاعب عظيم في ليفربول، ولهذا السبب لا أعتقد أن النهاية ستكون سعيدة”.

ويستعد محمد صلاح للمشاركة مع منتخب مصر في كأس الأمم الإفريقية في ديسمبر ويناير، وحددت الصحيفة 7 أندية يملك النجم المصري فرصة للانتقال إلى أحدهم في بداية العام الجديد.

ويعد أول هذه الأندية هو الهلال السعودي، كما استفسر أيضاً القادسية عن إمكانية ضمه، وكان صلاح قد سبق ورفض إلى جانب ليفربول عروضاً من أندية الشرق الأوسط ومع ذلك لا تزال قادرة على الإنفاق المالي لإتمام الصفقة.

ويأتي أيضاً سان دييجو الوافد الجديد نسبياً للدوري الأمريكي، والذي أثبت مرونة في جذب النجوم وعلى الرغم من احتمالية صعوبة تمويل الصفقة لكنهم نجحوا في الحصول على خدمات ليونيل ميسي.

ويعد سان دييجو هو الفريق المرشح الأوفر حظاً حيث مالكه مصري وسيمتلك فرصة أكبر من شيكاغو أو ميامي أو لوس أنجلوس إف سي.

وكان ريدناب قد أشار إلى أن صلاح قد يرغب في البقاء في أوروبا، وقد سبق للنجم المصري أن أرتدى قمصان فيورنتينا وروما ومع ذلك ستكون عودته إلى هناك عاطفية.

وارتبط اسم جالطة سراي أيضاً بالتعاقد مع صلاح في يناير، إلى جانب برشلونة الذي سبق له التعاقد مع روبرت ليفاندوفسكي رغم زيادة عمره وقد يخاطر البلوجرانا مع اقتراب عقد البولندي من الانتهاء وعدم اتخاذ قرار بعد بشأن ماركوس راشفورد بالتحرك لضم صلاح إذا كان الفريق الإسباني يملك القدرة على تحمل تكلفته.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte Says He Lost Six Figures' Worth of Items During Recent Burglary

During the All-Star Game last Tuesday in Atlanta, Arizona Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte's home was burglarized back in Phoenix.

This week, Marte shared that around $400,000 worth of items were stolen from his home. He didn't detail what exact items were stolen, but it was previously reported that some jewelry and other big items were taken.

Marte ended up landing on the restricted list when the All-Star break ended on Friday to take some personal time. He returned on Sunday vs. the St. Louis Cardinals and spoke with the media about the home break-in. It understandably shook him up a bit.

“Everyone is clear that it’s not a situation that we can feel good about. I’m losing about $400,000, and I think that’s a lot,” Marte said, via . “It was a bit of a tough situation, but we came back here to try not to think about those things that have happened. It doesn’t feel good. Everyone knows what happened. And we’re hoping that things are remedied.”

Police shared last week that no one was at Marte's home at the time of the burglary. There is an ongoing investigation regarding the break-in, but there haven't been any updates as of the time of this writing.

The incident is just the latest in a series of recent robberies involving well-known athletes across multiple leagues, where players' homes have been repeatedly targeted while they are traveling for events or away games. Among those impacted are NFL stars Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow, as well as basketball bigwigs Luka Doncic and Bobby Portis.

Celtic star who Lennon dubbed "world-class" was even better than Nygren

Celtic picked up their first win of the league phase of the Europa League on Thursday night by beating Sturm Graz 2-1 at Parkhead in front of their home support.

A stunning goal from distance from Tomi Horvat gave the Austrian outfit the lead in the first-half, but the Hoops hit back through Liam Scales in the 61st minute with a well-worked corner routine.

Three minutes later, Benjamin Nygren scored a goal from a corner to put Celtic 2-1 up, which was enough for them to secure all three points.

Why Benjamin Nygren should have done more for Celtic

The Sweden international scored the winning goal in the game with an excellent header in the 64th minute, but the game could have been out of sight for the hosts if he had taken his other opportunities.

Nygren had a personal xG tally of 2.43 and had five ‘big chances’ to find the back of the net, per Sofascore, but only scored from one of those shots.

The left-footed star deserves praise for getting into positions to score, as he had five of the club’s seven ‘big chances’, but he needed to do more to finish those opportunities when they came his way.

This is why Nygren was not the star of the show, because he was too wasteful in front of goal. Instead, it was Arne Engels who deserves the headlines for Thursday night’s win.

Why Arne Engels was even better than Benjamin Nygren

Shunsuke Nakamura was a certified free-kick specialist during his time with Celtic, as shown in the clips below, and Engels did his best impression of the former Hoops star against Sturm Graz.

The Belgium international may not have scored a free-kick, but his delivery from deadball situations and from open play was outstanding throughout the game. Neil Lennon, commentating for TNT Sports, went as far as to say that his delivery was “world-class”.

Engels, as shown in the earlier clip, delivered a phenomenal corner in for Nygren to score the winning goal, and that was just one of a number of inch-perfect crosses from the former Augsburg man.

As you can see in the table above, the Belgian starlet was incredibly unfortunate to end the match with only one assist to his name, as he created three ‘big chances’, whilst he also outperformed Nygren in his physical duels on the night.

There was one sensational open play cross from the right channel that was a thing of beauty from the central midfielder that Nygren failed to convert in the second half, whilst he also created other chances from his Nakamura-esque set-piece deliveries.

The £11m signing has only started three of his seven appearances in the Scottish Premiership this season, per Sofascore, and he should be kept in the starting line-up for the big game against league-leaders Hearts on Sunday.

If Engels can continue to create chances and deliver set-pieces with the quality that he displayed on Thursday, the Belgian will soon rack up assists and close in on the tally of 13 that he managed in his debut season in Scotland.

كولو توريه: مانشستر سيتي سيفتقد خدمات عمر مرموش.. والعمل مع جوارديولا نعمة

أجرى كولو توريه، مساعد بيب جوارديولا مؤتمرًا صحفيًا للحديث عن استعدادات مانشستر سيتي قبل مواجهة كريستال بالاس الأحد في الدوري الانجليزي.

وسئل توريه عن سبب غياب بيب عن المؤتمر الصحفي في تصريحات نشرتها “سيتي إكسترا”: “بيب بخير، الأمر يتعلق بظروفه الشخصية التي منعته من الحضور إلى هنا لكن بخلاف ذلك، كل شيء على ما يرام بالنسبة له، سيعود بالتأكيد ضد بالاس”.

وأضاف: “أعتقد أن ما نقوم به حالياً جيد، لأننا نلعب بشكل جيد ونجد طريقة لتحقيق بعض النتائج، اعلم أن الفريق قادر على أن يكون أفضل، نحن نتحسن ونتطور وهذا الأهم لنا حالياً”.

وتحدث بيب عن كريستال بالاس: “هم فريق من الطراز الرفيع، فريق قوي حقاً، يحتل المركز الرابع في الدوري ومن الصعب تسجيل الأهداف في مرماهم، هم ثاني أكثر فريق أقل استقبالاً للأهداف، لكن بالنسبة لنا، نركز على ما يمكننا فعله ونعلم أننا إذا لعبنا كرة القدم التي نجيدها، وعملنا بجد كفريق واحد، فبإمكاننا الفوز على أي فريق في هذا الدوري”.

وحول العمل مع مانشستر سيتي قال توريه: “عندما تلعب وتعمل، تدرك أهمية كل بطولة هنا، هدفنا العمل الجاد والمنافسة بقوة للفوز هنا، لا يمكننا التهرب من ذلك، بالتأكيد ولهذا السبب نعمل بجد كل يوم لضمان قدرتنا على الضغط على الفريق المنافس ومحاولة مواصلة القتال والسعي للفوز بالألقاب المتاحة لنا”.

وأكد توريه عن سباق اللقب: “نركز فقط على ما نستطيع فعله، نعرف جودة آرسنال، يمتلكون فريقًا قويًا جداً ومدربًا رائعًا لكن الأمر يعتمد علينا، لدينا أفضل مدرب في العالم ويعمل بشكل مذهل يومياً، شغفه كبير ويحب اللاعبين وطاقمه ونثق أنه سيقودنا لأبعد مدى ممكن للفوز بالدوري، نركز فقط على ما نستطيع فعله وليس على ما يفعله آرسنال، كل مباراة بمثابة نهائي بالنسبة لنا”.

وأشاد توريه بالعمل مع بيب جوارديولا: “أستيقظ يومياً وممتن للغاية، محظوظ جداً لتواجدي مع جوارديولا وليندرز، هما رائعان وشخصيان رائعان، العمل مع بيب كان حلم، فكرت في مسيرتي بمدرب واحد لم أعمل تحت قيادته بعد وهو بيب، كنت أتساءل كيف يحدث ثم أتيحت لي الفرصة وهذه نعمة كبيرة لي، كل يوم رائع”.

وحول لياقة لاعبي مانشستر سيتي، أجاب توريه: “اليوم اللاعبون في راحة وغداً، عندما يعود الجميع سنعرف المزيد عن حالتهم، ستونز؟ تعرض لإصابة في فخده، هذه مشكلته، لكنني متأكد أنها لم تكن خطيرة وأعتقد أنه سيعود قريباً”.

وسئل توريه عن موقف رودري من المشاركة: “يتدرب بشكل ممتاز ويؤدي برنامجه التأهيلي على أكمل وجه، بدنياً أفضل يوم بعد يوم لكنني متأكد أنه لن يكون جاهز لمباراة بالاس ومع ذلك فإنه يتابع عملية التعافي”.

وأتم توريه عن رحيل بعض لاعبي مانشستر سيتي للمشاركة في كأس أفريقيا: “إن لم أكن مخطئاً، بعد مباراة بالاس سيغادر مرموش وريان آيت نوري، هما لاعبان مهمان للغاية، لو كان الأمر بيد المدرب لفضل إشراك جميع اللاعبين، هو يحبهم ولكنه يضطر لاستبعاد أحدهم، يؤلمه ذلك كثيرا، سنفتقد عمر ونوري، لكننا فريق قوي للتعامل مع غيابهما”.

واختتم توريه عن بيب جوارديولا: “طاقته اليومية لا تصدق، مندهش للغاية من سنواته في الدوري، مازال يتمتع بهذه الطاقة، الشغف الذي يظهره في كل اجتماع وتدريب، إنه يستمتع بكل لحظة، ونحن أيضاً، لدينا روح معنوية عالية وطاقة هائلة ونقاتل على كل كرة، نحن نعتمد على الاستحواذ لكننا نستطيع القتال أيضاً، لقد طلب مني بيب عندما جئت إلى هنا أن أكون على طبيعي وهذا لا يصدق”.

Red Sox to Call Up Top Pitching Prospect, Place Dustin May on Injured List

The Boston Red Sox are expected to place pitcher Dustin May on the 15-day injured list with an undisclosed injury, and No. 6 prospect Connelly Early is being called up from Triple A Worcester to make his major league debut on Tuesday against the Athletics, according to a report from Foul Territory.

The 23-year-old Early was selected by the Red Sox in the fifth-round of the 2023 MLB amateur draft out of the University of Virginia, and has flown through the minor league system.

Early began the 2025 season in Double A Portland, going 7-2 with a 2.51 ERA. He earned a promotion to Triple A Worcester and has continued his stellar season, posting a 3-1 record with a 2.83 ERA in 28.2 innings pitched.

The Red Sox enter Tuesday with an 80-65 record and sit in third-place in a hotly contested American League East. Boston is three games behind the first-place Toronto Blue Jays.

Aaron Judge Made a Frustrating Bit of MLB History During Yankees' Win

Aaron Judge is a matchup nightmare for virtually any pitcher in MLB. At some points, teams are better off simply not pitching to him. That has been the case relatively often in 2025, as Judge was intentionally walked twice on Thursday night against the White Sox, bringing his tally to 36 on the year.

That's an American League record, as no player in the AL has been walked as many times in a single season. Of course, it still pales in comparison to Barry Bonds's 2004 campaign in which he was intentionally walked an absurd 120 times.

Judge was intentionally walked in both the second and sixth inning on Thursday, though the Yankees still came away with a 5–3 win, keeping their hopes of winning the AL East alive.

Judge has led MLB in intentional walks in each of the last two seasons. He received 20 free passes in 158 games last year, and is now at 36 in just 149 games in 2025. He has 104 intentional walks in his career.

Trailing Judge in the category this season are Jose Ramirez (22), Shohei Ohtani (20), Cal Raleigh (17) and Juan Soto (13).

West Brom have signed "explosive" star who is a bigger talent than Fellows

West Bromwich Albion’s early promotion hopes continue to be dashed by inconsistent form in the Championship.

After 12 up-and-down games this season in the second tier, the Baggies have exactly five wins and five defeats next to their name, with two losses on the trot to Watford and Ipswich Town, no doubt worrying Ryan Mason in the Hawthorns hot-seat.

Mason has had to deal with an awful lot of change in a short space of time in the West Midlands, in his defence, with Tom Fellows’ departure very much hurting him this summer, after he stood out as one of the Baggies’ brightest attacking sparks last season.

Why Fellows leaving hurt West Brom

The former Tottenham Hotspur coach turned West Brom manager would only have been occupying his new dug-out for around two months, when news began to filter through that Fellows had left his boyhood club behind for Championship rivals Southampton.

He has managed to pick up the pieces, with the likes of Isaac Price at his disposal, already up to five goals and one assist this season, as one presence who has made the loss of Fellows feel less obvious. Still, losing such a creative force has definitely had a negative impact.

If Fellows was still pulling on Baggies’ blue and white, Aune Heggebo might well have more goals to shout about from his early days in England, with the assist king managing to tally up a jaw-dropping 14 assists across 45 Championship encounters last campaign.

Instead, the Nordic centre-forward has often cut an isolated figure up top, with it not being the greatest shock in the world that the ex-Brann striker is only one goal down in his new location, considering he only accumulated a meagre 20 touches last match against Ipswich Town.

Josh Maja would have also been left feeling flat when Fellows exited the building for the South Coast, with the former Sunderland man often relying on a quick burst forward from the 22-year-old to then fire home last campaign. Now, after managing a 12-goal season next to Fellows, he is a regular on the bench, in another sad decline in the attacking areas.

However, it’s not all doom and gloom in the forward positions, even as only 12 goals have been fired home in league action to date by his side, with one talent at Mason’s disposal right now, arguably a bigger star than the brand-new Saints’ number 18.

West Brom have a bigger talent than Fellows

West Brom cashing in on their star asset for around the £10m mark this summer might have looked foolish at the time, considering he had previously been touted to move for a far bigger amount to pastures in the Premier League.

Now, however, with hindsight on side, it could well have been a smart call to make, with Fellows drawing blanks at St. Mary’s ever since he made his big move.

On the contrary, Samuel Iling-Junior is already terrorising Championship defences on the right wing in Fellows’ absence, with the former Juventus man arguably possessing a higher ceiling than their former homegrown gem

Indeed, while Fellows was tipped to make the Premier League cut and hasn’t just yet, Iling-Junior has been there and done that at the very top already, with three goals and two assists next to his name for the aforementioned Serie A giants in the Italian top-flight.

The “explosive” forward – as analyst Ben Mattinson once glowingly labelled him – even has nine Champions League clashes under his belt to further reinforce his pedigree, as Iling-Junior is now tasked with achieving what Fellows couldn’t do at the Hawthorns, in securing promotion up to the Premier League with his gung-ho displays, out on loan from the Baggies’ near rivals Aston Villa.

He is also a far more malleable presence than his Saints counterpart, with Mason no doubt pleased he has such a versatile talent, especially if he needs to potentially throw him into his starting XI wherever suits, as the season drags on.

Once on the radar of Tottenham Hotspur, before sealing a move around the £12m mark to Villa, it really could be labelled as a coup that West Brom have Iling-Junior on their books for the season.

But, as West Brom realised last campaign, having scintillating talents such as Fellows on your books doesn’t guarantee promotion, with a team effort the only way the Baggies are going to return to the Premier League under Mason.

Paratici's a big fan: Tottenham now hold talks to sign "elite" £87m striker

Tottenham Hotspur have now entered talks to sign an “elite” new striker, with sporting director Fabio Paratici a big fan, it has been revealed.

Spurs looking to sign new striker amid Tel and Solanke concerns

Dominic Solanke has struggled on the injury front ever since his arrival at N17, with the striker suffering knee, thigh and ankle issues during the 2024-25 campaign, and he has been unable to put the problems behind him at the beginning of this season.

Solanke is set to be out of action for a prolonged period, with it emerging that Thomas Frank may not be particularly fond of the English striker, who was Ange Postecoglou’s first-choice option at centre-forward last season.

With the 28-year-old on the treatment table, Mathys Tel has led the line for Frank’s side in recent weeks, but Jamie O’Hara has not been impressed, and the former midfielder singled the Frenchman out for criticism after the 2-1 loss against Aston Villa.

As such, Tottenham are now ramping up their pursuit of a new striker, according to a report from Caught Offside, which states they have now opened talks over a deal for FC Porto star Samu Omorodion.

Paratici is a big fan of Omorodion’s versatility, and Spurs have held discussions over the possibility of an initial short-term deal with an option to buy, but the Portuguese club’s huge asking price has proven to be a major issue.

Indeed, the Liga Portugal side are set to hold out for a huge fee for the 21-year-old, with it being revealed they are unwilling to let him leave for below the €100m (£87m) release clause in the youngster’s contract.

Tottenham join hectic race to sign £75k-p/w star who Redknapp called "tremendous"

The Lilywhites could beat Chelsea to the deal…

ByTom Cunningham Oct 26, 2025 "Elite" Omorodion could take Tottenham's attack to next level

Scout Ben Mattinson has made it clear he believes the Porto striker is able to play at a much higher level, having already established himself as a Liga Portugal star.

The three-time Spain international has made a flying start to the campaign, scoring eight goals in ten matches in all competitions, off the back of scoring 19 league goals, in what was a very impressive 2024-25 campaign.

With Tel struggling, and Richarlison finding the back of the net 23 times in 103 games for Tottenham, it would make sense for Frank’s side to bring in a new striker, and Omorodion has proven he could be a fantastic option.

Fullkrug & Wilson upgrade: West Ham chasing £26m CF who's 'like Harry Kane'

While their performances last year and at the start of the season suggest otherwise, West Ham United do have a talented squad.

The likes of Freddie Potts, Jarrod Bowen, Mateus Fernandes, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, El Hadji Malick Diouf and Kyle Walker-Peters are all good to great players who will help move the East Londoners away from a Premier League relegation scrap as the season goes on.

However, one area of the team that the Hammers have consistently failed to address is up top, with neither Niclas Füllkrug nor Callum Wilson good enough to lead the line.

Fortunately, West Ham are now being linked with an inform number nine who could end their striker curse and was even linked to Harry Kane as a youngster.

West Ham target Füllkrug and Wilson upgrade

Before his injury, Füllkrug had made seven appearances for West Ham this season, in which he failed to score or assist a single goal, which makes news of his likely departure in January rather welcome to most fans.

Transfer Focus

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

Wilson, on the other hand, has been able to find the back of the net twice, in fact, but even so, he has hardly blown anyone away in his nine appearances so far this season, and with his injury record being what it is, he cannot be relied upon.

So, with all that in mind, it’s clear that the East Londoners are in desperate need of a new striker once the window opens, and fortunately, that might happen.

According to a recent report from Turkey, West Ham are among several sides interested in man of the moment, Troy Parrott.

Alongside the Hammers, the report claims that Everton, Leeds United and Stuttgart are keen on signing the Irish international from AZ Alkmaar, who want at least €30m for him, which is about £26m.

It could be a tough transfer to get over the line, but with how well Parrott has played in recent years, and how much of an upgrade on Füllkrug and Wilson he’d be, it’s one worth fighting for.

Why Parrott would be massive upgrade on Wilson & Füllkrug

It’s the obvious place to start, but it’s also the most important: Parrott would be a huge upgrade on Wilson and Füllkrug because he’s simply the better goalscorer.

For example, while the two West Ham strikers have just two goals between them this season, the Irishman has already racked up an astounding tally of 13 goals and two assists in 14 appearances, totalling 928 minutes.

That comes out to a sensational average of 1.07 goal involvements every game, or one every 61.86 minutes.

Such an incredible rate of return makes the claim of one analyst, made over five years ago, that he was “reminiscent of Harry Kane” as a youngster look rather reasonable today.

It’s not just this season that the former Tottenham Hotspur gem has been on fire, though, as he ended last season with an excellent haul of 20 goals and five assists in 47 games.

With that said, the second reason he’d be an excellent upgrade on the Hammers’ ageing forwards is that he’s still just 23 years old, and therefore has plenty left in the tank.

Moreover, while he did have some injury problems early on in his career, he has not missed more than nine games for club and country in any of the last three campaigns.

Finally, as was made quite clear over the last week or so, the Dublin-born game-changer is someone for the big occasions.

For example, he scored both goals in Ireland’s 2-0 win over Portugal, and then followed that up with what is already a legendary hat-trick against Hungary, securing the country’s place in the World Cup play-offs.

Moreover, his third goal was practically the final kick of the game, suggesting he isn’t someone to flap under the most immense of pressure.

Ultimately, while it might be difficult to get ahead of the other interested parties, West Ham should be doing all they can to sign Parrott in January, as he might be the man to end their striker curse.
