Gomes, who currently plies his trade with Ligue 1 side Lille, was recently called up to the England national team by new manager Lee Carsley for their Nations League clashes in the September international break.

The 24-year-old has entered the final year of his contract with the French club and he reportedly does not plan to extend his stay beyond the current campaign. Per The Sun, his contract situation has alerted several Premier League clubs including English giants Liverpool, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur. The report also adds that the Magpies have made Gomes their 'top target' and are planning to approach the player as early as the January transfer window, while Spurs have been long-time admirers of the youngster.

DID YOU KNOW?

Last month, the England international was involved in a violent clash with Amadou Kone during a Ligue 1 clash between Lille and Reims. The collision resulted in a severe head injury prompting immediate action from the match officials and medical staff. The player, however, returned to action for his club on September 1 before travelling with the Three Lions squad for their Nations League clashes.

O dirigente também afirmou que o São Caetano pretende voltar a ser a “quinta força” do estado de São Paulo. Nas redes sociais, o clube publicou uma foto do cantor ao lado de Sabino e do diretor Maurício Reigado, mas não havia anunciado a contratação de Livinho.

Esta é a terceira tentativa do cantor de seguir uma carreira no futebol profissional. Em 2019, Livinho fez testes para atuar pelo Oeste, clube de Barueri, em São Paulo, mas não foi aprovado. No ano seguinte, o funkeiro foi anunciado pelo Audax, onde ficou apenas um dia como atleta depois de concluir que não conseguiria conciliar seus shows com as atividades do clube.

Mc Livinho ganhou fama no futebol depois de participar de diversos jogos beneficentes com outras celebridades, atletas e ex-jogadores. O cantor impressionou com suas atuações e se destacou nas partidas.

Gundogan set to leave BarcelonaIn talks with Man City over returnBarca need to offload playersGettyWHAT HAPPENED?

Gundogan joined Barcelona in the summer of 2023 as a free agent after his contract with Manchester City expired following their Premier League and Champions League double. The Germany international went on to become an ever-present under Xavi in Catalunya but could now be on the move. New Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has already admitted he's spoken with the midfielder about his future at the club.

The Athletic has now reported that Manchester City are willing to bring back their former captain to the Etihad Stadium this summer, and the claim has also been backed up by transfer guru Fabrizio Romano. The report by Romano states that City boss Pep Guardiola is open to a reunion with Gundogan over the summer as the eight-time Premier League champions have not made any signings in midfield.

ImagoDID YOU KNOW?

Barcelona's financial situation appears to be a key reason for Gudogan's potential exit. The Catalans are yet to register £51 million ($66.2 million) new signing Dani Olmo, and the German's sale may allow them to register the Spaniard.

WHAT NEXT FOR GUNDOGAN?

With just under two weeks left until the end of the summer transfer window, both Barcelona and Manchester City will have to act quickly if they want to finalize the deal this summer. Gundogan is said to be eager to head back to the Etihad Stadium after a year away.

Pattinson is all-but locked in to play his first home Test since in nearly four years, on his home ground

Andrew McGlashan23-Dec-2019

It was a New Zealand surgeon who helped put James Pattinson back together and now the quick bowler will hope to show the full benefits of his career-saving treatment against the Trans-Tasman rivals.Barring a late injury or other unforeseen developments, Pattinson is all but locked in to play his first home Test in nearly four years, on his home ground at the MCG, as Josh Hazlewood’s replacement on Boxing Day. It follows his return to the Test scene during the Ashes, where he played two of the five Tests, at Edgbaston and Headingley, having gone under the knife in 2017 with the operation on his spine carried out by New Zealander Grahame Inglis.He has had to bide his time since and, had it not been for the injury to Hazlewood, faced the prospect of going through the season without a Test appearance. At the beginning of the summer, it was billed as a head-to-head with Mitchell Starc – who is now in career-best form – but Pattinson was ruled out of contention for the Brisbane Test against Pakistan due to his code of conduct suspension, following the slur against Cameron Gannon in the Sheffield Shield match at the MCG.Pattinson, who has played just 19 Tests since his debut in 2011, acknowledged he would learn from his errors but said he wouldn’t be toning down his aggression in the middle.”I just play cricket the way I know how to,” he said. “I suppose if that’s pushing the line, it’s pushing the line. I think when you go through setbacks like being suspended you have to think about that a little bit more, but I think I get the best out of my cricket when I’m getting up there and going 100%.”I’m not going to hold back, there’s a line, sometimes you cross it, and if I look back on it you learn from those mistakes and you try to address them.”When coach Justin Langer effectively rubberstamped Pattinson’s recall yesterday (and when the squad was named last week) he spoke of Pattinson’s hunger to make up for lost time. Pattinson reiterated it.”I’ve been through a lot of setbacks, the hunger has always been there, so hopefully if I’m rewarded with a game I can put in a good performance,” Pattinson said on Monday. “You always have to expect things could pass you by after being through so much disappointment with my back, it’s always in the back of your mind, but I like to keep a good mind on things and work one day at time.”Team-mates are looking forward to him translating his form in training to the middle. “Fingers crossed he gets through the next few days and gets all his bowling done in the middle, because he hasn’t been much fun to face in the nets,” Matthew Wade said.His home return against New Zealand brings him up against an opponent he has had considerable success against with 20 wickets at 17.70 in three Tests. He made his debut against them at the Gabba in 2011, where he took 5 for 27 in the second innings, which was followed by another five-for in the first innings of the next match in Hobart, although that was a Test Australia would go on to lose by seven runs.During the Ashes, he formed pace attacks alongside Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Peter Siddle, but this Boxing Day Test will be first time he makes a trio with Pat Cummins and Starc – the three fastest bowlers currently in contention for the Test side.”I’m pretty excited by the opportunity,” Pattinson said. “Through my whole career I’ve played a lot of cricket with Patty and Mitch and a lot against them in under-age stuff, so to hopefully get a chance to play for them for Australia is pretty exciting.”Following his five wickets in the two Ashes Tests, Pattinson has taken 14 Sheffield Shield scalps at 28.64 this season and one of his outings was on the MCG pitch for the match against Queensland, which was highly rated and is hoped will be the basis for the Test strip after concerns following the abandonment earlier this month.”It was a good cricket wicket, we got a result late on day four which is great,” he said. “Both teams were in with a chance the whole game. There was a bit of movement for the bowlers and you could score runs as well. Hopefully it’s an exciting wicket.”

Going into the International break off the back of two defeats to high-flying Leeds United and Ipswich Town – with the 6-0 loss at Portman Road obviously stinging more – Danny Rohl will now hope his Sheffield Wednesday players are re-energised and refocused for the task of attempting to stay up in the Championship once more.

There'll be some obvious pride from an Owls perspective at the number of players who played for their countries over the time off too, including hot prospect Bailey Cadamarteri who scored for the England U19s.

Rohl and Co will be delighted at the constant progression they're seeing from the teenage striker, who has four goals in the senior fold this season for the relegation-threatened Owls also.

The success story of Cadamarteri could well impact Wednesday's transfer business therefore, with the South Yorkshire giants taking a shining to his young trialist who could be signed permanently down the line.

Sheffield Wednesday transfer news

According to a report from Sheffield Star journalist Joe Crann late last week, the Owls are very much keen on 19-year-old trialist James Collins who had been making a splash in the youth circles at Watford before being taken on at Hillsborough.

Only joining the youth set-up at the Hornets last year from non-league Hertford Town, a move for the highly regarded striker could see Wednesday sign yet another young and fresh centre-forward in the mould of Cadamarteri.

Scoring goals regularly for Watford at both U18 and U21 level – with his last flurry of goals coming against Ipswich Town just this month – Collins was even gifted a spot on the Hertfordshire side's bench against Stoke City earlier this campaign when Valerien Ismael was still present in the Vicarage Road hot-seat.

With Lee Gregory's contract expiring this summer, and the Owls man being 35 years of age, it could well be a case of out with the old and in with the new if Collins impresses enough to be rewarded with a permanent deal at Hillsborough.

James Collins could be Lee Gregory's replacement

Gregory has barely featured under Rohl since the German manager took over the reins last October, making just one brief appearance to date under the current Wednesday boss against Cardiff City in December.

Therefore, with this development emerging that a new kid could soon be on the block in a permanent deal, this could give Rohl grounds to get rid of the former Millwall man for good after failing to ever really utilise him since coming into the Owls.

Gregory won't be the only ageing member of the Wednesday squad who will be fearing for their future in South Yorkshire, with the likes of Will Vaulks and Liam Palmer's contracts also up for discussion at the conclusion of the campaign.

Wednesday could well view the breakout success of Cadamarteri as the starting point that leads to a new direction at the club, helped further by young trialist Collins potentially going on to have a far more important role in the Owls team soon if he is kept around past his trial period at the expense of Watford.

Graeme van Buuren sings praises of young batting partner, Ben Charlesworth, as Gloucestershire pair dig in

Richard Hobson at Bristol25-Sep-2019Gloucestershire 220 for 7 (van Buuren 93, Charlesworth 77*) v NorthamptonshireWe might be living through strange times, but surely not so strange that either of these counties will now be denied promotion to the first division. Rain has made a mockery of the myriad equations so let’s be done with arithmetic and talk the simple language of cricket: Glamorgan must bat with the precision of Donald Bradman at the speed of Brian Lara, then take wickets at the strike rate of SF Barnes to beat Durham and stop Northamptonshire and Gloucestershire from going up.The game here at Nevil Road is heading for a draw, probably of the dullest and soggiest variety. That will matter not a jot in the wider context. Nor will Northamptonshire lament a strangely disengaged performance on Wednesday when they took only a single wicket and Gloucestershire claimed the batting point they needed to ensure promotion remains entirely in their own hands. They require a draw plus three more points with either bat or ball. A mere draw will do for Northants.Concern around noon on Monday when Gloucester collapsed to 67 for 6 had dissipated – drowned is perhaps a better way of putting it – by the time Graeme van Buuren pushed Rob Keogh through extra cover for the boundary that carried Gloucester to the critical 200 mark. His stand of 151 with Ben Charlesworth began pre-lunch on day one and was ten minutes from continuing into the fourth when van Buuren, who scored 93, stabbed outside off stump to Gareth Berg and was caught behind.The fact that Gloucester lost their first division status as far back as 2005 might explain why so many supporters stayed on with barely a murmur for the four-and-a-half hours between the scheduled start and eventual three o’clock beginning. Such a long and hard-fought return will be something to celebrate despite the absence of prize money for third place. Northamptonshire will receive £57,000 as runners-up to Lancashire.In other circumstances, they might have grown more restless. It is hard to imagine the crowd at an international match behaving as placidly with the sun shining, the playing field open, nets in place and stumps beside the pitch ready to be inserted. Yet the place was a hive of inactivity through the morning save for the occasional sight of a player or the umpires wandering out, scraping the soles of their boots on problem areas and wincing their way back off.With the situation even worse at Chester-le-Street, the slippy, sludgy areas around footmarks on the edges of used pitches might have suited both teams. Gloucester, in the weaker position, would have been content not to risk defeat. “Mud, mud, glorious mud,” they must have sung, like Flanders and Swann, in the sanctity of their dressing room. Yet once umpires David Millns and Mike Burns did consider play to be possible, it was they who switched on quicker.Van Buuren played and missed a couple of times against Ben Sanderson in the early exchanges and Charlesworth survived a reasonable appeal for leg-before by Keogh, the most dangerous of the bowlers on a surface offering some turn. Otherwise, the closest that Northants came to breaking the stand as it developed was a run out opportunity when Charlesworth was sent back by his partner, Keogh missing with the throw.They made a tricky pair: Charlesworth tall, upright and left-handed, van Buuren a short, right-handed croucher. Van Buuren punched anything slightly short, especially through the off side, while Charlesworth’s off-drives again flowed like cream from a jug. At 18, he is a prospect who will make crowds purr with his strokes. That in turn may lead to frustration if returns fall short of unreasonable expectations. He needs to be allowed to develop at his own pace.”Ben is so solid,” van Buuren said. “He makes bowlers look slow, he plays them with ease. It is a sexy forward defensive he has. He is an attractive player but he is already a good player too and you have to remember how young he is. I said to somebody yesterday how he reminds me so much of Aiden Markram, the way he loads up, stands still and has that same whirl of the bat. He is class.”Van Buuren is a friend of Markram, a fellow South African, who averages 43.80 from his first 17 Test matches. It is quite a compliment. He also drew a comparison with Chris Dent, blooded young by Gloucester but now their steadiest batsman approaching 9,000 career runs. Sanderson was generous too, praising Charlesworth for his temperament and judgement of what to leave.Charlesworth has already equalled his career best; tomorrow would be quite a day to set a new one. Equally, while van Buuren was disappointed at missing his own hundred he could reflect on the more important picture. “We just have to rock up for one more day and play good, hard cricket,” he said. “Stay grounded, keep humble and hopefully cricket will look after us in the end.”
