Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly eyeing up a wildcard option to potentially replace in-demand talisman, Harry Kane this summer, amid reports that the Lilywhites are showing an interest in Flamengo striker, Pedro.
What are the latest Tottenham transfer rumours?
With under a year left to run on his current contract in north London, Kane is still facing an uncertain future at the club with the new Premier League season just a few weeks away, with Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich among those particularly keen to prise the 29-year-old from N17.
If the England skipper is to secure an exit in the near future, the Independent's Miguel Delaney has revealed that Ange Postecoglou's side are 'considering a move' for Pedro, with the 26-year-old among a 'range of options' on the club's radar.
The piece notes that the notion of Kane leaving is now seeing as 'more realistic', hence looking to figures like the Brazilian – who reportedly has an £87m release clause in his contract – in an attempt to try and build a new-look attack moving forward.
Who will replace Kane at Tottenham?
As Delaney suggested, Daniel Levy and co are believed view it as 'virtually impossible' to replace their record goalscorer such has been his impact over the last decade or so, hence trying to implement a more 'fluid' forward line in Postecoglou's image.
richarlison-tottenham-hotspur
There may be those already at the club who would be hoping to emerge as the new attacking figurehead if Kane was to depart, with last summer's £60m signing, Richarlison perhaps a prime candidate having regularly been utilised as a central striker for Brazil – for whom he has 20 goals in just 44 games.
That being said, however, the former Everton man endured a wretched debut season in the capital after netting just a solitary Premier League goal last term, having hardly proven that he can be a reliable goalscoring presence through the middle.
While pre-season is not often a fair gauge of a player's talents, the 26-year-old doesn't look to have turned a new leaf if the recent defeat to West Ham United is anything to go by, as he once again 'lacked composure in front of goal', according to 90min's Sean Walsh.
As such, the signing of his compatriot, Pedro, could then prove terrible news with regard to Richarlison's hopes of being the man to replace Kane, with the Flamengo marksman having proven far more prolific of late after netting 26 goals in just 35 outings in the current campaign.
Lauded as an "excellent finisher" by South American football expert, Tim Vickery, the 6 foot 1 hotshot boasts a standout tally of 93 goals in just 190 games in all competitions for his current side, having previously bagged 20 goals in just 58 games for Fluminense – for whom Richarlison scored 11 times in 46 games in the early stages of his career.
A truly clinical threat in the final third, Pedro notably ranks in the top 1% among his peers in the Men's next eight competitions for non-penalty goals – at an average of 0.88 per 90 – while the current Tottenham man has an average of just 0.20 per 90 for the same metric.
While it would represent something of a rogue choice if Postecoglou and Levy were to settle on Pedro as Kane's heir – with the six-cap hitman making just four appearances for Fiorentina in his only previous European adventure – it looks as if the Rio native has the finishing prowess needed to be able to thrive in north London, something Richarlison is yet to do.

Ireland have included uncapped allrounder Simi Singh in their squad for the triangular series involving Bangladesh and New Zealand.He replaces offspinner Andy McBrine as the only change from the squad that was involved in the two one-day internationals against England.Singh, 30, has been rewarded for impressive domestic and Ireland A form at the start of the season. He scored two half-centuries, including a 97, and took seven wickets for Ireland A on their recent tour of England and followed that with an unbeaten 70 for Leinster Lightning in the Inter-Provincial Limited-Over Cup.”I’ve been impressed by his quality with both bat and ball,” Ireland coach John Bracewell said. “He is an intelligent cricketer who can adapt to all situations depending on the match situation. He strikes the ball very cleanly, has good technique, and scores all round the wicket.”His bowling is strong with subtle variations, mixing up his pace and he extracts good turn and bounce from the pitch.”Singh gained Ireland citizenship last month and spoke of the “honour” of being given the chance to represent the country.”I’m absolutely delighted with my call up and looking forward to the matches,” he said. “I came to Ireland as a teenager with a hope of wearing the green jersey one day and feel fortunate to have that honour now. I appreciate the support of my family and friends and also my club YMCA. This wonderful opportunity wouldn’t have been possible without them.”There’s no doubt that I’ve been helped by strong performances for Leinster Lightning this past few seasons, and this campaign has started well with runs and wickets for Ireland Wolves. I’m so proud and grateful to get this opportunity – it’ll be a great honour if I make my debut during this series.”Bracewell assured McBrine, who has played 22 ODIs, that he remained part of Ireland’s plans for the future but felt he would benefit from domestic and Ireland A action.”Andy is still very much in the selectors’ minds, but we felt that it would be beneficial for him to play for the Wolves this week in the warm-up games against the Bangladesh and New Zealand XIs. He’s a strong character and hopefully he’ll respond positively with good displays this week.”
علق وائل جمعة مدافع الأهلي السابق، على تعادل الأحمر مع مازيمبي الكونغولي سلبيًا، في المباراة التي جمعتهما اليوم السبت، في مدنية لوبومباشي بالكونغو.
وتعادل الأهلي مع مازيمبي الكونغولي، في إطار مباراة الذهاب لدور نصف النهائي من بطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا.
وقال جمعة خلال تصريحات عبر قناة “بي إن سبورتس”: “نتيجة جيدة وفقًا للظروف التي لعب فيها الأهلي، ملعب سيئ وغيابات هامة، مازيمبي فريق عشوائي لكن كان من الممكن أن يفوز باللقاء، أهدر 4 فرص ومصطفى شوبير نجم اللقاء أنقذ الأهلي من هزيمة”.

وأضاف: “الأهلي أهدر أكثر من فرصة في الشوط الأول نتيجة سوء الإنهاء عند اللاعبين، وهذا نتيجة نقص الجودة في الفريق، لابد للأهلي أن يُحسن هذا الأمر”.
وتابع: “وسام أبو علي إضافة جيدة للأهلي، لن أضعه على السيف، أنا أعجبت به اليوم من خلال تحركاته والتحاماته وأعطاني الشعور بوجود رأس حربة في الملعب، لاعب يتفاعل مع كل كرة وطبيعي أنه يُهدر أهدافًا لكنه سيسجل، نحن لا نحتاج إلى موظف في الملعب، وسام لاعب جيد متحرك نشيط وتشعر وأن الأهلي له خطورة على المرمى، ومع اكتساب الثقة والانسجام سيتحسن، خاصة أن عنصر الانسجام كان غائبًا اليوم بين الهجوم والوسط”.
وأكد: “وسام أبو على قدم مباريات جيدة، أول مرة أرى مهاجم حقيقي للأهلي يتحرك ويتسلم، استايل عماد متعب؟ لا يوجد لاعب مثل عماد متعب طبعًا، الأخير هداف، وهذه مشكلة الأهلي يريد لاعب يُسجل أهدافًا، وسام لاعب مجتهد وقوي والاجتهاد ممكن يساعده، يجب أن يستمر مع بيرسي وعبد القادر، هذا الثلاثي سيقدم إضافة”.
وواصل: “الشوط الثاني كولر لعب بذكاء والتغييرات كانت جيدة، يحسب لكولر مشاركة أحمد عبد القادر ومحمود متولي وأكرم توفيق لأنه لم يكن يدفع بهم في الفترة الماضية، الكرة بها متغيرات كثيرة، من الممكن مدرب يختلف مع لاعب مدة طويلة لكنه في النهاية معه في القائمة، مثلما حدث مع عبد القادر، استبعده لكي يقوم سلوكه وحدث ذلك مع كهربا أيضًا، لكن العناد والتصريحات الاستفزازية لا تصح منه”.
وأشار: “في النهاية مازيمبي فريق عشوائي لكن الحسم لم يتم والأهلي قادر على الفوز عليه في القاهرة”.
وأوضح: “أتمنى أن يتواجد إمام عاشور وبيرسي تاو في مباراة الإياب لأنهما سيصنعان الفارق، بيرسي تاو يبدأ مكان رضا سليم، ومروان عطية يُشارك أو إمام عاشور، هؤلاء هم الإضافات، وعلى وسام أبو علي أن يستمر ويكون المهاجم الأساس”
ومن المقرر أن يلتقي الأهلي مع مازيمبي، في مباراة العودة لدور نصف النهائي لدوري أبطال إفريقيا، يوم الجمعة المقبل الموافق 26 أبريل على ملعب استاد القاهرة. تصريحات وائل جمعة بشأن وسام أبو على بعد مباراة الأهلي ومازيمبي

After India’s spin attack overwhelmed the West Indies batsmen with flight and guile, Smriti Mandhana made short work of the 184-run chase with a 108-ball 106

After India’s spin attack overwhelmed the West Indies batsmen with flight and guile, Smriti Mandhana made short work of the 184-run chase with an unbeaten 108-ball 106. Her innings negated the stutter caused by the two early wickets lost in response to the pressure West Indies’ bowlers created with their fast, short-pitched bowling.Mandhana carried on from where she left off against England, bettering her 72-ball 90 with a second ODI century and a first in the World Cup. She hit 13 fours and two sixes, punishing anything short. With Mithali Raj, she steered the larger part of the chase, adding 108 runs for the third wicket, before Raj, four short of her eighth consecutive fifty, holed out to mid-off.Raj’s decision to bowl first failed to find much validation from her two frontline medium-pacers, Jhulan Goswami and Shikha Pandey, who shared the new ball between them for the first six overs. Even though Felicia Walters looked unsure while negotiating Goswami’s off-stump line, Hayley Matthews took the attack to both opening bowlers, hitting them for a combined six fours in 27 balls.On a moist pitch with a tinge of green, Raj turned to her spin spearhead, Ekta Bisht, in the seventh over. The left-arm orthodox bowler struck with her first ball, forcing an edge off Walters with generous flight outside off stump. The nick was adroitly pouched by Sushma Verma, the wicketkeeper, who effected three more dismissals in the game – all of them being stumpings.West Indies’ loss of their first wicket occured one ball after Harmanpreet Kaur – who already sported a heavily strapped right palm – went off the field having dislocated the ring finger of her left hand while diving at mid-off. Despite having to make up for Harmanpreet’s absence from the attack by bringing on Mona Meshram, who had last bowled in an ODI in 2013, India kept a tight leash on the scoring. Having taken 12.4 overs to add 40 for the second wicket with Stafanie Taylor, Matthews popped back a return catch to the offspinner Deepti Sharma.Taylor was run out seven balls later, and Deandra Dottin, the scorer of a 38-ball hundred in T20Is, crawled to 7 off 47 balls before holing out to long-on, to complete a wretched batting day for the two stars playing their 100th ODI.India, meanwhile, had Harmanpreet back on the field after being tended to by the physio, and she was introduced into the attack immediately. She snaffled Kyshona Knight in the 35th over to leave West Indies 91 for 6. Against the collective discipline of India’s spinners, led by Bisht and the legspinner Poonam Yadav, West Indies’ second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth-wicket partnerships together added only 62 off 169 balls.The reintroduction of pace, in the form of Goswami, in the 36th over, gave West Indies some respite. A slew of fielding errors further released the pressure the spinners had piled on. Bisht dropped two straightforward chances, letting off Anisa Mohammed on 0 and Afy Fletcher on 12, before the two went on to add 37 unbroken runs for the ninth wicket. Fletcher’s 36 not out and Shanel Daley’s 33 eventually lifted West Indies to 183.Shamilia Connell began West Indies’ defence by peppering Punam Raut with a flurry of short deliveries, and she gloved the fifth ball of the innings – a well-directed bouncer – to keeper Merissa Aguilleira, failing to connect cleanly with a hook. Deepti Sharma then kept to 6 off her first 22 balls, and was bowled trying to slog Taylor’s offspin in the eighth over as she succumbed to the pressure of the mounting dots.Mandhana and Raj, however, ensured there would be no more flutters in India’s chase.Having motored into the nineties, Mandhana suffered a few nerves: an awkward lofted drive on 93 was followed by a poorly executed pull next ball which lobbed in the air and flew straight to deep midwicket, only for Knight to put her down. A few words between overs from her batting partner Meshram appeared to calm Mandhana down, and she duly reached her hundred off her 105th ball, doing so in the same manner that had brought up her fifty against England: making room and lofting the ball over cover for four.Two balls later, an edge wide of short third man completed India’s victory.
West Ham United are "pushing to sign" Manchester City's highly rated Portuguese youth international Carlos Borges as he enters the final year of his contract at the Etihad, claims Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth.
Is Carlos Borges joining West Ham United?
The Hammers said their goodbyes to club captain and England international Declan Rice earlier this month, as the deal to sell him to fellow London side Arsenal was finally announced after what must have felt like months of radio silence for fans of both sides.
While the club would probably rather still have their talismanic midfielder, the £105m that's now burning a hole in their pocket has perhaps helped to ease the pain of his exit somewhat.
With this new-found money, the club have unsurprisingly been linked to a whole host of brilliant players from across European football, but a name being touted for a move to the East End many may not be as familiar with is Carlos Borges.
The 19-year-old winger is currently plying his trade for City's youth sides after joining the club in 2014 following an impressive start to his footballing journey at Portuguese giants Sporting CP.
He has been prolific at every youth level for the European champions, scoring 22 goals in 35 Premier League 2 games and 23 in the Under-18 Premier League competition.
According to the Guardian, the Irons are 'close to winning the race' to sign the young winger from City's impressive academy setup for a fee of just £14m that will include a buy-back clause in the deal.
It would be a brilliant piece of business if the East End side could get it over the line, as German giants Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt are also interested in the dynamic winger.
Other than the buy-back clause, one of the reasons why the fee for such a highly rated youngster isn't as outrageous as some might have thought it would be is because he has just 12 months remaining on his current deal, per Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth.
He explained the situation live on Sky Sports News, which was posted to their YouTube channel:
"This is an interesting one because they're pushing to sign Carlos Borges from Manchester City. He's a Portuguese Under-19 international. Talks [are] ongoing over the structure of the deal; he's entered the final year of his City contract, so one to keep an eye on, there."
Who else have West Ham been linked to in the transfer window?
With Rice leaving a massive hole in the centre of the park for David Moyes' team, most of the players the club are said to be interested in are predominantly central midfielders.
The name that has probably been linked with a move to West Ham more than any other so far this window is Fulham's Joao Palhinha, who led in Europe's top five leagues for the most tackles last season, 147, and the most tackles won, at 83, per FBref.
Joao-Palhinha
Unfortunately, the club's initial £40m bid was firmly rejected by Fulham, with Football Insider reporting that the Cottagers have told West Ham that their midfield maestro is not for sale, while the Daily Mail claims that it would take an offer of £90m to secure his signature.
Outside of Fulham's star player, the Hammers have also been linked to Southampton's captain and set-piece specialist, James Ward-Prowse, who The Guardian says could cost the club in the region of £40m.
Whoever ends up donning the famous Claret and Blue next season, the London Stadium will likely be watching a very different team to the one they saw last year.

Glasgow Rangers have been active throughout the summer transfer window so far as Michael Beale has made seven additions to his playing squad.
Who have Rangers signed this summer?
The Light Blues head coach has been able to sign Kieran Dowell, Sam Lammers, Leon Balogun, Dujon Sterling, Cyriel Dessers, and Jack Butland on permanent deals, whilst Abdallah Sima has joined on loan from Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion.
There is still more than a month to run before the deadline passes, though, and the Scottish giants are still in the market to land another number nine, as they are reportedly pursuing a deal for Feyenoord ace Danilo.
The Daily Record recently reported that the Gers have had an offer of around £5.2m rejected by the Dutch club, who are holding out for a fee of more than £6m for their second-choice striker.
Jordan Campbell, of The Athletic, has claimed that the 24-year-old marksman is being eyed as a 'hybrid' forward to start alongside Dessers in the attack.
Beale could, however, find a dream alternative for that role by swooping for Montenegro international Nikola Krstovic, who was reportedly priced out of a move to Ibrox earlier this year.
How much would Nikola Krstovic cost Rangers?
Football Insider claimed that Dunajska Streda valued that prolific machine at up to £5m in order to ward off interest from the Light Blues.
Yet, the club's £5.2m offer for Danilo suggests that they are now willing to shell out that kind of fee for a striker, which could open the door for them to go back in for the 23-year-old dynamo.
Krstovic could be perfectly suited to a hybrid role alongside another attacker as the Streda hotshot has played out wide earlier in his career and has showcased his ability to score goals as well as create them.
Montenegro international Nikola Krstovic.
He produced an outstanding 26 goals and four assists across 35 appearances in all competitions for his current club last season, which included 18 goals in 27 league matches – two more strikes than any Rangers player managed in the Scottish Premiership in that time.
His 1.3 key passes per game across three European Championship qualifiers for Montenegro earlier this year is also more than any Gers striker produced in the league last term, which shows that the talented youngster could suit playing alongside another striker due to his potential creative spark.
Danilo, on the other hand, scored 14 goals and provided four assists in 48 games for Feyenoord throughout the 2022/23 campaign and only created 0.6 Eredivisie chances per clash.
This came after he managed 15 goals and five assists across 26 matches for Ajax's first-team and U21 side combined the previous year.
These statistics suggest that the potential is there for Krstovic, who was once described as a "clinical" forward by journalist Josh Bunting, to be a dream alternative to the Brazilian target due to his superior return in front of goal.
Whilst there is no guarantee that the Montenegro international will be able to translate his form over to Scottish football, Feyenoord's stubborn approach to negotiations for Danilo could force the Light Blues to look elsewhere and the £5m fee for the Streda marksman could represent a worthwhile gamble based on his impressive form last term.
