Bad news for Lewis: Man City hold concrete interest in £40m "cheat code"

Manchester City are back in action after the international break this weekend as they prepare to travel to Bournemouth in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

This competition is the club’s last realistic chance to win a piece of silverware before the end of the 2025/26 campaign, as they are 22 points behind Liverpool in the Premier League with nine matches left to play.

Their lack of success on the pitch led to a splurge in the January transfer window, as the likes of Omar Marmoush, Nico Gonzalez, and Abdukodir Khusanov came in to bolster the squad.

Marmoush, who scored a hat-trick against Newcastle United in the Premier League, has been the star of those mid-season additions so far with his quality at the top end of the pitch.

That may not be the end of the club’s spending, though, as the summer transfer window could see more players arrive at The Etihad to bolster Pep Guardiola’s side ahead of next season.

This could mean that players who are currently playing in the first-team at Manchester City may have to look over their shoulders, as they could be replaced this summer, and Rico Lewis may fall into that category.

Why Rico Lewis may not be a regular next season

Long-serving right-back Kyle Walker, who started 30 Premier League games last term, only started nine league matches in the first half of this season before being loaned out to AC Milan in the January transfer window.

The 34-year-old veteran’s decline and eventual exit from The Etihad provided Lewis with a huge opportunity to make that position his own, and to become a regular starter for years to come – as Phil Foden has done as another graduate of the City academy.

Manchester City defender Rico Lewis.

Unfortunately, however, the England U21 international’s performances for the Cityzens so far this season have been less-than-impressive in the Premier League, and it remains to be seen whether or not he will reach the level that City need from him at right-back.

One of the issues he has had is that he does not excel in any particular area of the game. Lewis is technically secure and decent on the ball, but does not offer exceptional creativity or a goalscoring threat, and his defensive work is not noteworthy either.

As you can see in the table above, the City academy graduate has rarely provided a threat at the top end of the pitch, whilst he has been average at best in defensive situations – ranking seventh for tackles (1.2) and ninth for interceptions (0.5) per game in the squad.

Manchester City could, now, make a signing that would send Lewis packing, either out of the starting XI or out of the club, as they are eyeing up a deal for a Bundesliga star.

The latest on Man City's interest in Bundesliga star

According to TEAMtalk, Manchester City are one of a number of clubs interested in a deal to sign Dutch right-back Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen in the upcoming summer transfer window.

The report claims that the Cityzens have a ‘concrete’ interest in the Netherlands international, who they sold to Celtic in the summer of 2019 for a reported fee of £350k.

Transfer Focus

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

TEAMtalk adds that City are now ‘plotting’ a move to bring Frimpong back to The Etihad for a second spell at the club, although he did not play a single match for the first-team after coming through the academy set-up before his move to Glasgow.

The outlet also reveals that Manchester United and Liverpool are also keen on the Dutch full-back, which could mean that there will be plenty of competition for his signature this summer.

Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong

TEAMtalks report claims that a fee of £40m would be enough to tempt Leverkusen to cash in on the right-footed whiz, and adds that City view him as their long-term replacement for Walker – which does not bode well for Lewis’ future in that position.

Why Manchester City should sign Jeremie Frimpong

Frimpong, who is four years older than Lewis, would come in at the age of 24 with his best years still ahead of him, which could make him the long-term option in that area of the pitch.

At 24, the Netherlands international has already built a wealth of experience, with 51 appearances for Celtic and 182 for Leverkusen, whilst still having plenty of years left to develop and improve, making him the perfect age for City to sign him.

Jeremie Frimpong for Bayer Leverkusen

The £40m-rated star’s form for Leverkusen in recent seasons also suggests that he has the quality to be an excellent addition to the squad, and one that could send Lewis packing because he could offer far more than the English defender.

Whilst the current Manchester City man has failed to provide a consistent threat at the top end of the pitch in the Premier League, Frimpong has been a constant threat for his club – scoring 29 goals and providing 40 assists for the German side to date.

Stats via Sofascore

As you can see in the table above, the Dutch sensation has provided far more quality in the final third in comparison to Lewis in the past two league campaigns, scoring ten more goals and registering ten more assists, to go along with a staggering 51 more key passes.

Frimpong, who was described as a “cheat code” by U23 scout Antonio Mango, could come in to improve Manchester City’s attacking output down that flank, with his ability to score and create goals at an exceptional rate.

City swooping to sign the Leverkusen star, who is reportedly viewed as the long-term replacement for Walker, could force Lewis to consider his future at The Etihad, as it would mean that his natural position has been filled for the foreseeable future.

This could, therefore, send the 20-year-old prospect packing, whether that is a permanent or temporary exit from the club, unless he is able to drastically improve his performances to overtake Frimpong next season, should the Cityzens sign the full-back.

Moody calls for Murphy to replace Green for final Ashes Test

“Murphy is an exciting young bowler. He is not Nathan Lyon, but Nathan Lyon is not Shane Warne either”

Matt Roller24-Jul-2023

Tom Moody believes that Australia must select Todd Murphy for the fifth and final Ashes Test at The Kia Oval, and that he should replace Cameron Green in the side.Australia went into the fourth Test at Emirates Old Trafford with three frontline seamers and two allrounders in Green and Mitchell Marsh, opting not to select a specialist spinner for the first time in more than a decade.They conceded 592 in just 107.4 overs as England looked to force a result before rain wiped out the majority of the fourth and the entirety of the fifth day. Moody, who played 84 times for his country and has enjoyed an extensive coaching career, believes that Australia must pick Murphy, the 22-year-old offspinner, to restore balance to their attack.Related

Cummins: 'Good to retain Ashes but work to do for next week'

Australia retain the Ashes, but can they close out the series?

That was then, this is now for Steven Smith

“I know that they would’ve had their various reasons behind not playing Murphy, whether that was based around the fact that there was the weather that was potentially on the horizon, but that’s no guarantee,” Moody told ESPNcricinfo. “That would have looked pretty stupid if it had backfired.”To me, the attack did look like it lacked balance. Murphy is an exciting young bowler. He is not Nathan Lyon, but Nathan Lyon is not Shane Warne either. Murphy needs to create his own path and have his own journey; he has started that already and he has started pretty successfully.”I’d be surprised if he doesn’t come into the side just to create that balance, but also give the team better combinations for Pat Cummins to lean towards. In that fourth Test match, it was almost like he was looking around the field for options – and he was nearly looking in the mirror all the time.”Australia planned to use Travis Head as their main spinner in Manchester, but he bowled seven wicketless overs, which cost 52 runs. “That highlights the challenge of Test cricket,” Moody said. “You need to be a specialist at your craft, and you need complementary specialists in your attack.”He suggested that Australia should leave Green out of their side in order to fit Murphy in. “I think playing the two allrounders is a luxury, and to me, at this stage, Mitch Marsh is the one that looks like he can influence the game, which he’s already done since he’s returned with confidence.”There’s no question Cameron Green has got remarkable upside, but the here-and-now selection is Mitch Marsh. There are very few players in the history of the game that haven’t had setbacks, or been left out of sides for team combinations or form or whatever it might be. If anything, it’s probably something that might do him [Green] the world of good.”Moody expects Australia’s selectors to keep faith in David Warner, having retained him for the fourth Test. “The way I look at it, them deciding to play him at Old Trafford was nearly committing to him for the series,” he said. “If they were going to make a change, that was the moment to make it, but they clearly felt that he’d done enough.”And Moody believes that winning an away Ashes series for the first time since 2001 by avoiding defeat at The Oval would be “a huge achievement” for Australia. “The way that England have been playing Test cricket has been nothing short of outstanding to watch. They have set new standards, which is something to be admired and respected.Moody wants Australia to win the Ashes 3-1•Getty Images

“So to get a stranglehold so early in the series was credit to Pat Cummins and his team. To win away from home is difficult anywhere in the world, but probably the two hardest places are India and England. After the way the game petered out at Old Trafford, I would imagine their mindset would be making sure that they put the final nail in the coffin and try to win 3-1.”Moody was speaking at Lord’s as Desert Vipers – the ILT20 franchise for whom he works as director of cricket – launched a sustainability initiative which included a full-scale audit into their carbon footprint during the league’s inaugural season in the UAE earlier this year.Vipers called on other T20 franchises to follow suit in order to mitigate the negative impact that short-form leagues have on the environment, particularly with regard to long-haul flights. “Hopefully Desert Vipers have a unique opportunity to be trailblazers for other sporting teams,” Moody said.”When you see significant events happen globally around the impact of heat or flood, that’s when it’s an eye-opener. Missing a day’s play because it’s wet is insignificant compared to seeing whole communities impacted by devastating floods, for example, which we’re seeing constantly both in Australia and globally.”

Vasco faz 'dever de casa', sofre pressão no fim, mas ganha boa notícia para sequência da Série B

MatériaMais Notícias

Depois de duas derrotas seguidas, o Vasco entrou em campo contra o Guarani pressionado. A proximidade do Londrina na classificação fez com que a partida adquirisse contornos de uma verdadeira decisão. O time não teve uma atuação brilhante e até sofreu mais do que deveria nos momentos finais do jogo, porém ganhou uma boa notícia para a reta final da Série B.

O interino Emílio Faro decidiu fazer uma mudança importante no setor ofensivo. Escalou o jovem Eguinaldo pela primeira vez como titular e, com isso, trouxe mais mobilidade e dinamismo ao ataque cruz-maltino. Alex Teixeira não teve uma boa atuação como ‘falso 9’ diante do Bahia, e também subiu de produção com a entrada do atacante.

Diferentemente de Raniel, o paraibano se movimentou bastante, atraiu a marcação e confundiu a defesa brugrina. Não exerceu a função de um centroavante fixo, mas sim de um atacante que troca constantemente de posição com os pontas e abre espaço para a movimentação dos meio-campistas.

Foi dessa maneira que nasceram as jogadas dos dois gols do Vasco. Movimentações interessantes, que trazem um frescor ao estilo de jogo proposto por Faro. Desde o início,a equipe carioca apostou em forçar o erro na saída de bola adversária para contra-golpear de maneira mais letal e perigosa.

No primeiro gol,Edimar foi à frente, recuperou e abriu para Nene, que tocou para Andrey. O jogador encontrou Eguinaldo na área, que só teve o trabalho de fazer o pivô e achar Alex Teixeira. O camisa 7 foi derrubado na área e o árbitro assinalou o pênalti. Nene bateu com tranquilidade e abriu o placar.

Em outro momento, o time chegou novamente com perigo em um contra-ataque, mas o meia desperdiçou. A volta do intervalo não poderia ser melhor para o torcedor vascaíno. Mais uma jogada bem trabalhada pelo lado direito, que chegou até Andrey para finalizar. No rebote, o camisa 21 estufou a rede.

Outro nome que traz recurso e juventude ao setor ofensivo é o de Marlon Gomes. Apesar de não ter feito um bom jogo por ter voltado de lesão, o atleta também tem recurso e qualidade para atrair a marcação e trazer mobilidade. Nesta quarta, ele ficou mais preso e não conseguiu construir por dentro, mas mostra credenciais para ser titular.

Por outro lado, a defesa voltou a trazer ‘dor de cabeça’. As bolas paradas do Guarani foram perigosas, e Thiago Rodrigues teve que fazer três defesas para sacramentar a vitória. O tento bugrino nasceu novamente de um gol contra – o segundo seguido do Gigante da Colina no campeonato. Esse deslize recolocou o adversário no jogo e fez o time ser pressionado, de forma desnecessária no fim.

وبحسب “مترو” البريطانية فإن إيبيريتشي إيزي ضمن قائمة أهداف آرسنال خلال سوق الانتقالات الصيفية حيث يسعى ميكيل أرتيتا لضم لاعب هجومي متنوع الاستخدامات بجانب مهاجم جديد.

ومع ذلك يتمسك كريستال بالاس بموقفه الرافض لرحيل إيزي ويطالب آرسنال أو أي ناد آخر مهتم بدفع قيمة الشرط الجزائي البالغ 68 مليون جنيه إسترليني بعد المكافآت.

وأنفق آرسنال 55 مليون جنيه إسترليني على التعاقد مع مارتن زوبيميندي من ريال سوسييداد بجانب 5 ملايين جنيه إسترليني لضم كيبا أريزابالاجا.

ويقترب آرسنال من التوصل لاتفاق بقيمة 80 مليون يورو للتعاقد مع فيكتور جيوكيريس من سبورتينج لشبونة، ومن المقرر أن يتعاقد مع قائد برينتفورد كريستيان نورجارد مقابل 12 مليون جنيه إسترليني.

وسيمثل إيزي إضافة كبيرة لفريق آرسنال والذي يفكر بالفعل في دمج لاعب كجزء من عرضه لضمه من كريستال بالاس.

ويعتقد بأن إيزي نجم كريستال بالاس منفتح على الانضمام إلى صفوف آرسنال والذي يرغب في تقديم أحد المدافعين الواعدين كجزء من الصفقة.

Chris Woakes and Travis Head star to leave England needing 251 to keep Ashes alive

Australia slipped to 170 for 8 after a long rain delay before Head cut loose to kept them afloat

Andrew McGlashan08-Jul-2023It took six hours to get there amid the rain, but the third day at Headingley produced an electrifying final session where both sides traded blows in their attempts to set up victory. England struck early through Chris Woakes, but Travis Head counterattacked with the final two wickets for company to leave a target of 251.Faced with 25 minutes to see out the day, with the sun bursting through, Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett slashed 27 off the target while Australia also burned a review for a leg-side catch against Duckett. Last season England chased 296 against New Zealand and, of course, there needs little reminding of 2019 so they certainly won’t be overwhelmed by the pursuit. From where they were at lunch on the second day, 142 for 7 and trailing by 121, England would have gladly accepted this position.After regular showers during the day, played eventually began at 4.45pm but only one over was possible initially before another brief stoppage. A further three overs were trimmed from the allocation, but what remained produced a further passage of gripping cricket in a series that has been compelling from the start.It felt as though Woakes had made decisive blows when he claimed Mitchell Marsh and Alex Carey and when Pat Cummins fell to Mark Wood, Australia were 170 for 8, a lead of 196. But Head was able to add 54 in seven overs for the last two partnerships with what could prove one of the most important innings of Test career, in which he has already produced a series of match-changing and match-defining scores, albeit usually in the first innings to set up a game.Chris Woakes made vital inroads after the delayed start•Getty Images

Woakes was tremendous when play resumed for the second time, finding the glove of Marsh, after he had again looked in excellent touch, as he tried to withdraw the bat. He soon added Carey, who had earlier been part of one of the more bizarre stories of the series involving false allegations of a non-paid haircut, as he also tried to leave the ball and played into his stumps.While Wood’s return to the side has brought many of the headlines given the blistering pace, Woakes’ comeback has been equally impactful. His list of wickets in this match reads: Marnus Labuschagne, Usman Khawaja, Head, Marsh (twice) and Carey.Mitchell Starc briefly played confidently before falling to Wood’s short ball, the top-edge spiralling backward of square where there was nearly a horrendous mix-up with Jonny Bairstow seemingly bailing out of the catch, leaving it to Harry Brook who sprinted from short leg and pulled out a full-length dive.As he did in the first innings, Wood gave Cummins a brief and very effective working over and Head – who was 34 off 82 balls at the time – knew it was then time to change gear, although Todd Murphy had cover-driven his first ball from Wood to the boundary.In the next over, from Woakes, Head pulled and carved two boundaries then against Wood collected another brace which took him to fifty off 94 balls. England persisted with the short ball to Head, sometimes with nine men on the boundary, and it did not always look the most sensible approach, although when Woakes went to length he also got sent over midwicket for six.Murphy was undone by classy over from Broad when he returned from the Football Stand End, but there was time for Head to do some more damage. He pulled Wood for consecutive sixes over the leg side before falling attempting something similar off Broad which found deep midwicket.Given their recent history, a chase of 251 was well within England’s reach but, with the Ashes on the line, surely there is a twist or two to come yet.

جيوكيريس: ثلاثة لاعبين في آرسنال أثاروا إعجابي بالدوري الإنجليزي

أبدى فيكتور جيوكيريس، مهاجم سبورتنج لشبونة إعجابه بثلاثة من أبرز نجوم آرسنال، وينتظر اللاعب موافقة ناديه على انتقاله لملعب الإمارات.

ويضع آرسنال عينه على ضم جيوكيريس الذي ألمح لرغبته بالانضمام للدوري الإنجليزي وارتداء قميص آرسنال لكن هناك توترًا في المحادثات بشأن صفقة تبلغ قدرها 80 مليون يورو.

ويرفض جيوكيريس الانضمام لتدريبات فريقه التحضيرية للموسم الجديد في محاولة للضغط على إدارة فريقه للتخلي عنه لصالح آرسنال بسعر أقل من المبلغ المطلوب.

واعترف جيوكيريس في مقابلة مع صحيفة “ليكيب” الفرنسية بإعجابه بثلاثة لاعبين من آرسنال وهم بوكايو ساكا وويليام ساليبا وغابرييل الذين نالوا إعجابه في دوري أبطال أوروبا هذا الموسم.

وأضاف: “لاعبو خط الوسط مثل برناردو سيلفا وماتيو كوفاسيتش في مانشستر سيتي وساكا في آرسنال لاعبون مثيرون للإعجاب”.

وواصل :”واجهت أيضاً مدافعين على مستوى عالي جداً مثل غابرييل وساليبا، كنت محظوظًا باللعب ضد هؤلاء اللاعبين”.

جدير بالذكر أن آرسنال تعاقد حتى الآن مع الحارس كيبا أريزابالاجا من صفوف تشيلسي ومارتن زوبيميندي من صفوف ريال سوسييداد ونورغارد من صفوف برينتفورد.
