Leeds struck gold with Patrick Bamford

Despite spending a decent amount of money on new players since they managed to win promotion from the Championship after a 16-year absence from the Premier League, there are still a number of players at Leeds United that were part of the side that helped the club get back to the top-flight.

One of those players, who has since become a crucial figure for Marcelo Bielsa, is striker Patrick Bamford.

Leeds signed the Englishman back in the 2018 summer transfer window from Middlesbrough in a deal worth a reported fee of £10m.

Since then, the 28-year-old has gone on to make a total of 117 appearances for the Yorkshire club across all competitions, more than any other club he’s played for in his career, scoring 45 goals and providing 17 assists along the way.

Last season proved just how vital the centre-forward is to Leeds by not only playing in all 38 of their league games but also scoring a total of 17 goals in those appearances and earning himself an impressive overall performance rating of 7.03/10, making him their third-highest rated outfield player according to WhoScored.

Shortly after joining the Whites, Transfermarkt had the striker’s market value listed at £5.4m, whereas it now stands at £18m, highlighting the significant increase it has had since he became a Leeds player based on his impressive goalscoring efforts on the pitch.

This goes to show what a great piece of business it was from the club to sign the striker and give him the opportunity to be their main goalscorer.

Labelled as an “exceptional” player last season by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, Bamford’s absences through injury this season have also shown how useful he is for the team in front of goal, with Leeds only having scored 27 league goals in 23 games compared to the 40 they managed to score after 23 league games last season.

Moving forward, if Leeds want to have any hope of ending the season comfortably away from the relegation zone, they will have to hope that Bamford can come back to full fitness sooner rather than later and start scoring consistently again.

تيتي يوضح السبب وراء استدعاء داني ألفيس لقائمة البرازيل في مونديال قطر

أوضح المدير الفني لمنتخب البرازيل، تيتي، السبب وراء استدعاء النجم داني ألفيس للمشاركة في بطولة كأس العالم في قطر هذا الشهر.

وأعلن تيتي، اليوم الإثنين، القائمة النهائية لمنتخب البرازيل والتي ستشارك في مونديال قطر، حيث سينطلق يوم 20 نوفمبر الجاري.

وشهدت القائمة تواجد داني ألفيس، صاحب الـ39 عامًا، الذي يلعب مع فريق بوماس المكسيكي، ولكنه لم يشارك منذ شهر بسبب إصابة في الركبة.

أوضح المدرب تيتي بالتفصيل سبب الإبقاء على ألفيا، اللاعب الأكبر سنًا والأكثر مشاركة في الفريق، حيث تتطلع البرازيل إلى إنهاء انتظار دام 20 عامًا للفوز بكأس العالم مرة أخرى.

وقال تيتي في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “ياهو سبورتس” العالمية: “إنه يضيف جوانب فنية وتكتيكية مثيرة للإعجاب، إلى اللعب، من المؤكد أنه لم يعد لاعبًا قادرًا على الركض من 60 إلى 70 مترًا، لكن لديه مزايا أخرى”.

وواصل: “المعايير تدعم جودته الفنية، ولكن أيضًا الجوانب العقلية والجسدية”.

وبشأن إصابة ألفيس، قال طبيب الفريق فابيو مهسيرجيان في مؤتمر صحفي إنهم يتوقعون العودة الكاملة للياقة البدنية في الوقت المناسب لبدء المباراة في قطر.

وأوضح “لقد تابعنا تعافيه عن كثب وجميع البيانات التي لدينا من أطباء برشلونة تظهر أنه لائق للعب”.

خاض ألفيس 124 مباراة دولية على مستوى الكبار، بينما لعب أيضًا كل دقيقة من أولمبياد طوكيو الصيف الماضي، حيث قاد منتخب البرازيل تحت 23 عامًا إلى الميدالية الذهبية.

Injured Sreesanth to return home, Munaf named as replacement

Following Zaheer Khan’s withdrawal, the Indian squad in Sri Lanka has been hit by another injury crisis with fast bowler Sreesanth returning home due to a knee injury. He suffered a medial collateral ligament tear in his left knee and has been declared unfit to take part in the Tests. Munaf Patel, who last made an international appearance in November 2009, has been named his replacement.Sreesanth’s availability was in doubt yesterday when he missed the team’s first net session on tour. His team-mate Harbhajan Singh too missed practice as he was down with fever. Though India flew down two rookie bowlers in Umesh Yadav and Jaidev Unadkat to practice with the team, the team management has anyway decided to to call in Munaf for Sreesanth.Munaf and Abhimanyu Mithun, who replaced Zaheer, are likely to compete for a place in the XI as Ishant Sharma’s seam bowling partner for the first Test starting July 18. Earlier, Zaheer pulled out of the tour due to a shoulder injury. The loss of the seam duo will stretch India’s fast bowling reserves even further because that’s the one department in which they have been found wanting in recent months.Sreesanth checked into the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore on Tuesday for an assessment of the injury to his knee. He was examined by the physio Ashish Kaushik and is likely to undergo his rehabilitation process at the academy for a few more days. “I just bowled seven balls there in Sri Lanka! What to do. That’s how it goes, I guess,” Sreesanth said.

Malan guides Middlesex to victory

Dawid Malan finished on 84 not out as Middlesex duly wrapped up their fourth victory of the season beating Division Two leaders Glamorgan by six wickets on the final morning at Cardiff

19-Aug-2010
ScorecardDawid Malan finished on 84 not out as Middlesex duly wrapped up their fourth victory of the season beating Division Two leaders Glamorgan by six wickets on the final morning at Cardiff. It took the batsmen, Malan and Gareth Berg, only 10.4 overs and 38 minutes to knock off the 50 runs they required for victory.That was after Middlesex had ended the third day in a dominant position at 200 for 4. Middlesex took 19 points from the contest to Glamorgan’s three, with the Welsh county set to lose top spot to Sussex.But with three games remaining Glamorgan are still 17 points ahead of third-placed Gloucestershire in the promotion race. Glamorgan opened with spin from both ends at the start of the final day but it proved ineffectual as the fifth-wicket pair added 34 from the first seven overs.Malan, 52 overnight, pulled Dean Cosker for four and in the next over Berg cover drove Robert Croft to the boundary. Stand-in skipper Mark Wallace turned to seam after the first seven overs, but when he decided to take the second new ball Middlesex only required 10 more to win.Victory arrived with Malan driving David Harrison over cover for four. Glamorgan will now have to regroup before they play Sussex at Hove next week, a match that will almost certainly see them without their captain Jamie Dalrymple, who broke his right thumb when he was hit by seamer Pedro Collins while batting during the first innings.

Crystal Palace: Cheikhou Kouyate in advanced talks over new deal

Crystal Palace are in advanced talks with Cheikhou Kouyate over a new Selhurst Park deal, Football Insider report.

The Lowdown: Kouyate under Vieira

Kouyate has been a regular during Patrick Vieira’s first season in charge of Palace, making 26 appearances in all competitions.

The 32-year-old has turned out as a centre-back, defensive midfielder and centre-midfielder, scoring his only goal of the campaign against Stoke City in the FA Cup.

The Senegal international is one of a number of Eagles players out of contract at the end of June, but it looks as if he is set to stay at the club beyond the summer.

The Latest: Source shares update

Football Insider shared a story regarding Kouyate after being informed by a recruitment source.

They claim that Palace are in advanced talks with the player over a new deal, with Kouyate ready to put pen to paper on fresh terms.

The Verdict: Good news

Kouyate looks set to be Dougie Freedman’s first piece of summer business and has played his part in Vieira’s impressive first season in charge, so it makes sense to keep him around as Palace look to build on the platform that has been set.

His versatility will continue to be handy, especially with the likes of James Tomkins and Jaroslaw Jach potentially departing over the coming months.

That could leave Vieira with just three senior centre-backs, one of which being injury-prone Nathan Ferguson, so knowing Kouyate will stay and can fill in at the back when required is welcome news.

São Paulo goleia na Libertadores Sub-20 e fica perto das semifinais

MatériaMais Notícias

Atual campeão, o São Paulo segue invicto na Copa Libertadores Sub-20, disputada no Uruguai. Nesta terça (13), os garotos de Cotia enfrentaram o Atlético Venezuela e venceram o duelo, por 6 a 1. Com duas vitórias em dois jogos, a equipe comandada pelo técnico André Jardine ficou muito próxima da classificação para a semifinal do torneio continental.

Assim como na estreia (6 a 0) diante do Quebracho, da Bolívia, o atacante Toró foi o destaque do Tricolor. Artilheiro da Copinha, competição disputada no mês passado, o garoto fez dois dos seis gols são-paulinos na partida e já soma quatro na competição. Os outros gols da equipe foram marcados por Helinho, Bruno Dip, Rodrigo e Igor Gomes.

Cabeça de chave do Grupo A, o Tricolor lidera com seis pontos ganhos em duas partidas disputadas. De acordo com o regulamento divulgado pela Conmebol, os campeões de cada chave avançam para a fase semifinal e outro classificado será o segundo melhor colocado entre os três grupos.

A próxima partida do São Paulo na competição será contra o Talleres, representante da Argentina na competição. O duelo será disputado no estádio Centenário, em Montevidéu, na próxima sexta-feira (16), às 17h30 (horário de Brasília). Se vencer, o Tricolor estará classificado para a fase mata-mata.

Depois de perder a Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior para o Flamengo, os garotos do Tricolor ganharam alguns dias de folga e já se concentraram em Cotia para a disputa da Libertadores da categoria.

O torneio é uma oportunidade para chamar a atenção da comissão técnica do elenco profissional. Embora o técnico Dorival Júnior ainda não tenha se pronunciado sobre o tema, os garotos Toró, Igor Gomes e Liziero devem ser promovidos após a competição continental.

Wolves: Source makes Andrey Santos claim

According to a report from Brazilian news outlet Vasco Noticias, Wolves are among the clubs battling to sign Vasco da Gama starlet Andrey Santos. 

The lowdown: Neves replacement?

This comes as speculation increases surrounding the future of talismanic Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves.

Already linked with Barcelona, Manchester United and Arsenal in recent days, the future of the 25-year-old at Molineux appears to be in serious doubt.

A report from South America has now highlighted a possible long-term successor…

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/all-the-latest-from-wolves-2/” title=”All the latest from Wolves!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The latest: Wolves in the mix for Santos

As per the report from Vasco Noticias, the Old Gold have joined Benfica, Monaco and AC Milan in the race to sign 17-year-old midfielder Santos in the summer transfer window.

The report claims that Wolves have made an ‘enquiry’ over the teenager but ‘no conversations’ have yet progressed to a formal offer being made as Bruno Lage attempts to strengthen the ranks in the Midlands.

A previous report from UOL had cited interest from Barcelona and Everton in the six-cap Brazil under-16 starlet.

The verdict: Get it done

Albeit only a sample size of four fleeting senior appearances from which to judge, the fact that Santos has already made strides into first-team action at such a tender age is a testament to his prodigious talents.

Despite possessing a €30m (£25m) buyout clause, it has been reported that Vasco da Gama would be willing to sell their teenage star for between €6m and €7m (£5m-£6m).

At that price, this deal would represent a relatively low-risk option for Wolves should Neves indeed depart, and given the levels of top European interest, those in power at Molineux should be actively attempting to bring Santos to the Black Country.
