Arsenal brewing the homegrown Eze who's the "biggest talent in England"

This could finally be the season for Arsenal.

Mikel Arteta has been backed in a massive way in the transfer market, and the objective will be to win every competition the team are in.

Undoubtedly, the most exciting signing the Gunners made in the summer was Eberechi Eze, as his creativity and explosiveness could be just what the club needs.

Moreover, it looks like the North Londoners are brewing another version of the Englishman in a sensational, exciting academy gem.

What Eze will bring to Arsenal

There are a few things Eze will bring to Arsenal this season, and the first is his output.

Crystal Palace's EberechiEzeposes with the player of the match trophy

Despite playing for a mid-table side last season, the Greenwich-born game-changer was able to amass an unreal haul of 14 goals and 11 assists in 43 appearances, totalling 3303 minutes.

In other words, he averaged a goal involvement every 1.72 games, or every 132.12 minutes, which should be music to Arteta’s ears considering his side’s goalscoring problems last season.

The next thing the 27-year-old brings to the table is his positional versatility.

While he spent most of last season playing as one of the two tens in Oliver Glasner’s system, he’s also more than comfortable playing out on the left, as we saw on Sunday, and can even play on the right.

Not only will this give Arteta more tactical flexibility, but it means Eze will be able to easily interchange with his teammates during games, making life for opposition defenders even harder.

Finally, the Palace legend will bring excitement to the team. =

The FA Cup-winning maestro can take players on, score from long distance, play quick one-twos and do so many other things that get fans on their feet.

In all, Eze looks to be an incredible signing for Arsenal, and in even more good news, Hale End appears to have spawned another version of him.

Arsenal's new homegrown Eze

Arsenal have a proud history of bringing Hale Enders into the first team; just look at Bukayo Saka, Ethan Nwaneri, and Myles Lewis-Skelly.

In The Pipeline

Football FanCast’s In the Pipeline series aims to uncover the very best youth players in world football.

However, in this instance, we are talking about a youngster who is perhaps the most talked about prospect the club has ever had: Max Dowman.

Yes, despite being just 15 years old, it feels like practically everyone and their dog has been talking about the teenager in recent weeks and months.

It shouldn’t be too much of a surprise, though, as those with a knowledge of youth football have been talking about him for years, with Hale End expert Will Balsam dubbing him the “biggest talent in England” late last year.

With that said, then, what makes him like a young Eze?

For starters, he has already demonstrated a brilliant ability to play in multiple positions, ranging from out on the wing to attacking midfield and even slightly deeper in central midfield.

On top of that, the Chelmsford-born gem is an output machine.

All Stats via Transfermarkt

In just 25 appearances for the U18s, totalling 2104 minutes, he scored 20 goals and provided ten assists.

In other words, the superstar in the making averaged 1.2 goal involvements every game, or every 70.13 minutes while playing in an age group well beyond his – and he wasn’t even playing up top.

Finally, as fans who’ve watched him this season and in pre-season will tell you, he has the same ‘entertainer gene’ as the former Palace man.

For example, instead of making a safe pass backwards when on the edge of the opposition’s penalty area, he tends to prefer taking the defender on directly.

It was this that won him a penalty against Newcastle United in Singapore and then at home to Leeds United in the Premier League.

Ultimately, Eze looks like he’s going to be one of Arsenal’s most important players over the coming years, but in Dowman, they could have a generational talent on their hands.

Rafinha explica alto número de lesões no São Paulo e culpa calendário

MatériaMais Notícias

Autor do gol da vitória do São Paulo, Rafinha falou sobre feito inédito pelo clube e comentou sobre a situação envolvendo o alto números de lesões no Tricolor. Contra o Palmeiras, mesmo com o resultado positivo, três jogadores deixaram o gramado com algum problema: Calleri (por conta do problema nas costas), Luciano (dores na panturrilha) e Alan Franco (dores no tornozelo).

A última vez que Rafinha marcou um gol no Brasil tinha sido em 2005. Desde então, somente nas suas passagens pela Europa. Nesta quarta-feira (5), desencantou e marcou seu primeiro pelo Tricolor. Após a partida, Rafinha até brincou dizendo que nem sabia como comemorar.

+ ATUAÇÕES: São Paulo se organiza, e Rafinha garante vantagem contra o Palmeiras na Copa do Brasil

– Meu último gol aqui foi contra o Curitiba. Fico feliz de ajudar, feliz de ter marcado. Tivemos chance de fazer antes, contra o Palmeiras é difícil. Não foi o mais bonito, já fiz uns golaços na Champions League. Quando a gente não é acostumado a fazer gol, a gente não imagina. Até estranho, pessoal tirou sarro porque eu não sabia comemorar, mas pé no chão – disse sobre o gol.

Veterano na equipe, Rafinha é visto como um dos líderes do elenco. Ao ser questionado sobre o alto número de lesões que o Tricolor enfrenta, muito por conta da situação citada anteriormente, o lateral-direito lamentou, mas explicou que isso já é esperado porque considera o calendário brasileiro ‘cruel’.

O jogador explicou que mesmo com o forte apoio da torcida, o elenco não consegue se entregar 100% por conta da demanda e proximidade entre um jogo e outro, e que por este motivo, problemas assim acontecem.

– O nosso calendário é complicado. Joga sempre, domingo, quarta… Queremos entregar o melhor rendimento, mas é impossível. Somos seres humanos, a gente cansa. O torcedor apoia, mas não tem como. Acontece isso, lesões, fraturas, calendário brasileiro castiga a gente. Não tem como se entregar 100% por conta das lesões – explicou.

Na semana que vem, o São Paulo decide seu futuro nas quartas da Copa do Brasil, no jogo de volta contra o Palmeiras, que acontecerá na casa do rival. Mas antes disso, o Tricolor enfrenta o Bragantino pelo Brasileiro, neste domingo (9). Depois da decisão pelo mata-mata, o Tricolor terá um clássico contra o Santos. O atleta também falou sobre a sequência que aguarda o time.

– Já conversamos entre nós. Domingo também é decisão, precisamos ganhar também. É aproveitar o momento, amanhã tem treino. Passamos por vários momentos e sabemos que não tem euforia. Torcedor fica feliz, mas é virar a chavinha. Viemos de bons resultados, precisamos dessa sequência diante do nosso torcedor, queremos sempre jogar com casa cheia, mas a sequência é difícil, Dorival sabe guiar direitinho, tem grandes jogadores. Sabemos que quem for jogar, representa muito bem – concluiu.

أكد محمد الغزاوي، المرشح على مقعد العضوية فوق السن ضمن قائمة الكابتن محمود الخطيب في انتخابات الأهلي المقبلة، أن خدمة النادي وجماهيره واجب على كل من ينتمي إلى القلعة الحمراء، سواء داخل مجلس الإدارة أو خارجه.

وقال الغزاوي في تصريحات إعلامية: “تربيت داخل جدران النادي الأهلي، وخدمة الأعضاء والجماهير واجب علينا جميعًا، سواء كنا في موقع المسؤولية أو خارجها. المنصب لا يهم، فالأهم هو الإخلاص للنادي الأهلي الذي له فضل كبير بعد الله على الجميع ووجودي في قائمة الكابتن محمود الخطيب للمرة الثانية شرف عظيم، وهدفنا أن يظل الأهلي في موقع الريادة دائمًا”.

وأضاف: “شعارنا هو التنمية والاستثمار، النادي شهد خلال السنوات الماضية العديد من المشروعات الكبرى، سواء في فروعه الأربعة أو في ملف الاستاد، إلى جانب الطفرة في مجالات التسويق والرعاية، المسؤولية ضخمة، لكن الأهلي يستحق أن يظل الأفضل في كل وقت”.

Liverpool plan to beat Real Madrid to £40m+ La Liga star as Leoni ACL injury confirmed

Following Giovanni Leoni’s injury against Southampton, Liverpool are reportedly determined to sign a £40m+ La Liga defender ahead of rival interest from Real Madrid in 2026.

Leoni suffers ACL injury blow

On a night that Liverpool were forced to win late on once again, this time against Southampton in the Carabao Cup, Leoni’s injury stole a fair share of the headlines.

The young defender was stretchered off in the 81st minute courtesy of what appeared to be a knee injury and whilst Arne Slot admitted that a scan was needed to determine the extent of that injury, the worst-case scenario has now been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano.

Slot had told reporters: “Normally these things don’t happen in five to 10 minutes, and you have to wait for tomorrow to see how he comes in and then maybe do an MRI scan to know more about how serious it is.

“Normally the emotions of a player tell you a lot. I saw during the weekend a player in the Dutch Eredivisie who went out completely in tears – Ruben van Bommel, by the way, of PSV – and a day later it proved to be that it was right.”

Injury expert Physio Scout revealed in detail the likely recovery time for the different levels of knee injury, with the defender now unlikely to feature much this season.

With the young Italian seemingly out for the season, Liverpool are rumoured to be back in the transfer market in search of a swift replacement after failing to land Marc Guehi on deadline day.

Liverpool racing Real Madrid to sign Tarrega

According to reports in Spain, Liverpool are now determined to beat Real Madrid to Cesar Tarrega in 2026. The 23-year-old has enjoyed a rapid rise at Valencia, who have set their price at €50m (£44m), and is reportedly seen as someone that could become a long-term replacement for Virgil van Dijk at Anfield.

Meanwhile, in the immediate future, the Valencia star would provide ample cover for the injured Leoni. If the Reds keep their foothold in all four competitions, then Slot will need an additional option at centre-back, especially given the added injury history of Joe Gomez.

Five years older than Leoni, Tarrega’s added experience was reflected in his numbers compared to the teenager last season. And it is that added experience which should make him a viable option for those at Anfield.

The Reds manager wasn’t impressed.

ByCharlie Smith Sep 24, 2025

The fact that they came within hours of signing Guehi in the summer shows that Liverpool are willing to sign another defender and if it’s not Guehi then it may well be Tarrega in 2026.

!Igual Kaká! 'Engenharia' pode permitir Lucas Moura como reforço no São Paulo mesmo encaminhado em time dos EUA: entenda

MatériaMais Notícias

São Paulo e Lucas Moura se acertaram: o atacante, revelado pelo próprio clube e idolatrado pela torcida, quer voltar a atuar no time do Morumbi por pelo menos até o final do ano, como o Lance! revelou. O problema é que a negociação ganhou um novo elemento. Um time não revelado da MLS, liga dos EUA, que quer contar com o jogador e inclusive já teria oferecido o sonhado ‘último contrato lucrativo’ com o qual ele tanto sonha. Mas uma ‘engenharia’ mantém viva o sonho de todas as partes em ter um final feliz já neste sábado (29).

Na verdade, a ideia da diretoria encabeçada por Julio Casares e que foi aceita por Lucas Mouras não tem nada de novo. Já foi usada pelo Tricolor em 2014 com outro ídolo revelado no clube: Kaká.

Na ocasião, o então meia deixou deixou o Milan, da Itália, e acertou um contrato com o Orlando City. Entretanto, como as regras de transferências e limite de estrangeiros não permitiram a chegada imediata do pentacampeão mundial à franquia da MLS, ele acabou emprestado ao São Paulo para atuar no Morumbi no segundo semestre daquela temporada.

Segundo o Lance! apurou com fontes ligadas à cúpula são-paulina, é exatamente o que São Paulo e Lucas Moura tentam acertar agora.
Isso porque entre a tarde e noite de sexta-feira (28), após o contato do Tricolor e o não acerto com o Monterrey, do México, o atacante recebeu duas sondagens fortes: dos EUA e do futebol árabe. Após consultar sua família e estafe, Lucas decidiu-se pela terra do Tio Sam.

E aí está a oportunidade do clube do Morumbi, já que ele não poderia se transferir de imediato justamente pelas mesmas questões de Kaká em 2014. A promessa dos estadunidenses é de abrir a vaga de estrangeiro até dezembro. E aí, para não ficar parado, o São Paulo seria a melhor das opções.

Valores de quanto Lucas Moura receberá nesta segunda passagem pelo Morumbi não são revelados. A reportagem estimou com conselheiros que os salários serão pouca coisa a mais que o teto estabeelcido pelo clube, que corresponde aos vencimentos do atacante Calleri.

O Tricolor monitora desde o início do ano a situação de Lucas. Conversou com seu estafe e com ele várias vezes e, sem fazer proposta, deixou as portas abertas para o retorno do atacante, vendido em 2012 ao PSG, da França, após ajudar na conquista da Copa Sul-Americana.

Por estar sem clube desde junho, quando se encerrou seu contrato com o Tottenham, da Inglaterra, Lucas Moura poderia ser registrado no BID (Boletim Informativo Diário) da CBF mesmo após o fechamento da janela de transferências, na próxima quinta-feira (3/8).

Os prazos para inscrição nas competição são os mesmos de James: até segunda-feira (31) para as oitavas de final da Copa Sul-Americana ante o San Lorenzo, da Argentina, até dia 8 de agosto para o jogo de volta da semifinal da Copa do Brasil contra o rival Corinthians. E dia 26 de agosto para o restante do Campeonato Brasileiro.

كشف أحمد حسن، نجم الأهلي والزمالك السابق، عن تفاصيل جلسة الجهاز الفني لمنتخب مصر الثاني بقيادة حلمي طولان مع كرونسلاف يورتشيتش المدير الفني لبيراميدز.

وقال أحمد حسن عبر برنامج الكابتن على “DMC”: “كانت هناك جلسة بين الجهاز الفني لمنتخب مصر المشارك في بطولة العرب، مع إدارة بيراميدز والمدير الفني يوريتشيتش، وأريد أن أشكر إدارة بيراميدز على التعاون الكبير جدًا”.

وأضاف: “أشكر يوريتشيتش رغم إنه مدير فني غير مصري، إلا أنه متعاون جدًا، فالراجل رحّب واستقبلنا بشكل جيد وكنت موجودًا أنا والكابتن حلمي طولان، وجلسنا وتحدثنا معه لضم بعض اللاعبين”.

واستطرد:”لا أعلم بصراحة كيف يسمح الفيفا بإقامة بطولتين في التوقيت نفسه، بطولة كأس العرب وقبلها الإنتركونتيننتال، على أن يكون النهائي أمام باريس سان جيرمان، إنه أمر غريب بالفعل”.

Rain threat hangs over RCB-CSK game in Bengaluru

There is a 70% chance of rain on Saturday, and wet weather had also interrupted the training sessions of both teams on the eve of the game

Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) bid to get to 16 points and strengthen their chances of a top-two finish in IPL 2025 might take a hit, with a rain threat hanging over their home game against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Saturday.There have been sporadic spells of rain of varying intensity in Bengaluru over the last two days, and there is a 70% chance of rain on Saturday, with the met department predicting that “rain or thundershowers would occur towards afternoon or evening” on May 3.The weather played a part on match eve as well, interrupting the training sessions of both teams. CSK started their training around 3pm but could only practice for about 45 minutes before rain intervened. The players then resumed training at 4.30pm. RCB held their practice session later, starting around 5pm.Related

It's RCB vs CSK again, but will IPL's tastiest fixture have the same edge as before?

Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal batted for close to 45 minutes to an hour before it started hosing down, but this time the rain did not relent for three hours and RCB’s practice session had to be cancelled. There was also a thunderstorm and occasional lightning throughout the evening, which caused waterlogging in many parts of the city.While CSK have already been knocked out of contention for the playoffs, after managing just two wins in their first ten games, this is a crucial game for RCB. They are currently third on the points table with seven wins and three losses. A win on Saturday will lift them to the top spot.There was already a rain-shortened match in Bengaluru last month when the RCB-Punjab Kings (PBKS) game was reduced to 14-overs-a-side.This is the first time that RCB will face CSK in Bengaluru since their high-octane clash in IPL 2024, when RCB’s 27-run win helped them scrape through to the playoffs. When the two sides met earlier this season in Chennai, RCB won by 50 runs.

صراع بين الهلال والاتحاد لخطف صفقة مميزة في الميركاتو الشتوي

دخل ناديا الهلال والاتحاد في سباق جديد على ضم أحد أبرز نجوم الدوري السعودي خلال فترة الانتقالات الشتوية المقبلة، في ظل الأداء المميز الذي يقدمه اللاعب منذ انطلاق الموسم الحالي.

وكشفت مصادر خاصة لصحيفة “الرياضية” السعودية أن أحد الناديين قدّم إشعارًا رسميًا لإدارة الخليج بطلب التفاوض مع اللاعب مراد هوساوي، بينما اكتفى النادي الآخر بإجراء اتصالات شفهية مبدئية لبحث إمكانية التعاقد معه.

وأوضح المصدر أن إدارة الخليج رفضت السماح بالتفاوض المباشر مع اللاعب، مشترطة أن تكون المفاوضات بين إدارات الأندية فقط، حفاظًا على استقرار الفريق واحترامًا للعقود الموقعة.

وأشار المصدر ذاته إلى أن إدارة الخليج تتعامل مع الملف بهدوء كامل ودون اندفاع، نظرًا لما يمثله مراد هوساوي من قيمة فنية كبيرة وركيزة أساسية في الفريق، مؤكدًا أن رحيله لن يكون سهلًا، رغم الاهتمام المتزايد من أكثر من نادٍ.

وبيّن أن اللاعب يرتبط مع الخليج بعقد طويل الأمد يمتد حتى عام 2029، وهو أحد العناصر الواعدة التي تم استقطابها من أحد أندية المدينة المنورة، كما يُنظر إليه كأحد الأسماء المرشحة لتمثيل المنتخب السعودي في المستقبل القريب لما يمتلكه من إمكانات فنية عالية.

واختتم المصدر حديثه بالتأكيد على أن إدارة الخليج تركّز حاليًا على استقرار الفريق الأول وتحقيق طموحات النادي وجماهيره، سواء في الدوري السعودي أو في منافسات كأس الملك، معتبرة أن أي قرار يتعلق بانتقال اللاعبين سيتم وفق مصلحة الفريق الفنية أولًا.

Young and Campher ruled out of West Indies ODIs

Jordan Neill and Stephen Doheny have been named replacements for the series starting on Wednesday

File photo: Curtis Campher has fractured a finger•ICC/Getty

Ireland have been dealt a double blow with injuries to fast bowler Craig Young and fast-bowling allrounder Curtis Campher ruling them out of the ODIs against West Indies starting on May 21 in Dublin.While Young sustained a hamstring injury and has been replaced by Jordan Neill, Campher fractured a finger while batting in the nets and has been replaced by wicketkeeper-batter Stephen Doheny.Young picked up the injury last week while playing in an Inter-Provincial Cup match for North West Warriors against Leinster Lightning in Oak Hill. He could not complete his ninth over and finished with figures of 8.5-1.49-1, even as he struck with the wicket of Barry McCarthy with the last ball he bowled. The 47th over of the innings was then completed by Scott MacBeth.Campher’s injury was a lot more recent; he fractured a finger while batting in the nets on Monday. The injuries add to Ireland’s concerns as Mark Adair is already out of the ODI series to recover from a knee injury before he plays the following T20Is.”It’s not ideal when you lose a player to injury just prior to a series, but unfortunately, both Young and Campher join a bit of a lengthy list on the rehabilitation table,” Andrew White, the national selector, said on Monday. “Most pertinently, our seam attack is heavily impacted with Mark Adair, Graham Hume, Craig Young, Fionn Hand and Curtis Campher all out.”This series will be a real test of our depth, and instead of bemoaning what we won’t have, my view is that these absences provide a real opportunity for some of our up-and-coming talent to play at home against a world-class opposition.”Captain Paul Stirling was of the view that the injuries would give the newer faces more games than they had expected.”Yeah, look it’s unfortunate that injuries happen in sport and I think you’ve got to look at the positive side of this that there’s going to be a few new faces around probably getting a look slightly earlier than we had considered,” Stirling said on Tuesday. “Ultimately, getting more games of cricket into a number of different cricketers is going to help us in the long run.”Doheny last played ODIs against South Africa in the UAE last October and has 11 ODIs and three T20Is under his belt. He comes into the squad soon after a century last week in the domestic 50-over competition for Munster Reds against Northern Knights. He had played for Ireland A in the one-day tri-series against Sri Lanka A and Afghanistan A before that last month.Neill, the 19-year-old batter, is the fourth uncapped player to join the Ireland squad after Cade Carmichael, the top-order batter, and seamers Thomas Mayes and Liam McCarthy.All three ODIs will be played in Dublin on May 21, 23 and 25 before the three T20Is in Bready on June 12, 14 and 15.
