It’s not often that Everton have secured themselves a bargain in the transfer market in recent years, but the acquisition of Dominic Calvert-Lewin certainly comes into that bracket.

The 24-year-old was signed for a reported £1.5m fee from Sheffield United back in 2016, and the youngster has gone from strength to strength ever since.

After scoring a respectable – if unimpressive – 17 goals in his first 94 appearances for the Toffees between 2016/17 and 2018/19, the rangy striker’s progress has catapulted over the last couple of campaigns.

A return of 15 goals in 2019/20 was followed up by 21 strikes last term, resulting in Calvert-Lewin being handed a new £72,000-per-week five-year contract in March 2020, highlighting his importance to the Merseyside outfit.

“This is a very proud day,” the England international said after putting pen to paper. “I like to think I have shown I am ready to live up to the expectations of being Everton’s number nine, but I am well aware of how much I need to improve and how much better I can do.

“I love where I am, and the position I am in, and I love playing for Everton Football Club. We want to be in Europe and competing in the top competitions.

“It would mean that bit more to win trophies here because of the journey I have been on with Everton and Evertonians. Personally, I want to get to that next level.”

And the youngster made great strides towards fulfilling his potential under former Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti, with the experienced Italian tactician even comparing him to AC Milan legend Filippo Inzaghi.

“Calvert-Lewin is faster. Calvert-Lewin is better with the head. Calvert-Lewin is stronger than him,” stated Ancelotti. “If Inzaghi listens to this he will kill me! But I have to say, Inzaghi in the box was the best striker that I ever had.

“I think this is natural instinct. He can be dangerous like Inzaghi in the box, for sure. He is faster than any defender, he jumps higher than any defender. It is a question of movement and details. He has to be focused, and he is. He is focused in the box.”

He has spent much of the current campaign out injured but the 6 foot 2 beast’s impressive exploits for both club and country have seen his market value soar to a mouth-watering £40.5m in recent months, illustrating how Everton’s hierarchy struck gold by picking him up for such a minimal fee five years ago.

The Toffees have spent poorly down the years but this was undoubtedly one of their better buys.

Former Leeds United goalkeeper Paddy Kenny believes that it would be reckless if the Whites decided not to do any business in the January transfer window.

The Lowdown: Leeds tipped to sign nobody

Marcelo Bielsa’s side have made a disappointing start to their Premier League campaign, winning only one of their first nine matches prior to today’s trip to Norwich.

After the highs of finishing ninth in their first season back in the top flight, the early months of 2021/22 have proven to be a sobering experience.

According to recent comments by The Athletic’s Phil Hay, Leeds are unlikely to make any new signings in January, unless their season is “on edge”.

[freshpress-quiz id=“375277″]

The Latest: Kenny bemoans apparent inactivity

Speaking to Football Insider, Kenny rued that claim, saying that it would be naive of Leeds not to strengthen considering that they could find themselves in a potential relegation fight. He said:

“I don’t think they can afford not to sign anyone. Everyone else will be looking to strengthen. You can’t afford not to, it’s just too tough in the Premier League these days.

“If Leeds are in the same position they are now, I’ll guarantee they’ll need to strengthen. The fans won’t be happy if they don’t either.

“If you look at where they are now, they’re struggling for form and it looks like it could do with a freshen up.”

The Verdict: Gauge it later in the year

While there is understandable reason to want new faces to come in given their current struggles, Leeds should look at the situation nearer Christmas in terms of their league position.

Key players such as Luke Ayling, Robin Koch and Patrick Bamford are out injured – the likes of Junior Firpo and Kalvin Phillips have also been unavailable recently – and the team’s fortunes could change when they all return.

Should Leeds’ struggles continue, though, it would be remiss of the club not to at least consider some January reinforcements. Kenny’s concerns are understandable, even if the Whites don’t need to push the panic button just yet.

West Ham won’t be able to push into the Premier League top four despite their recent financial boost, according to former England striker Kevin Phillips.

The Lowdown: West Ham in great position

The Hammers are in a very healthy position at the moment, with the club thriving both on and off the pitch.

David Moyes is doing a wonderful job as manager, guiding them to fourth place in the Premier League going into today’s clash against Aston Villa, winning every group game in the Europa League and beating Manchester City to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals earlier this week.

Furthermore, West Ham could be set for an exciting financial boost, with Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky close to purchasing 27% of the club.

The Latest: Pundit doubts future ambitions

Despite all of that, Phillips doesn’t believe that West Ham will end up rivalling the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool in terms of buying the best players and consistently qualifying for the Champions League

The former Sunderland striker told Football Insider:

“I think they can challenge them this season. But I can’t see them breaking into that top four.

“I just don’t think they’ll be able to sign the players that clubs like Man City, Man United, Chelsea and Liverpool sign – purely because of the size of the football club.

“If a world-class player had a choice of Man United and West Ham, they would choose Man United and that is naturally going to go against them.

“However, David Moyes deserves so much credit for putting that squad together and getting the best out of every last player.

“I just don’t think they’ll be able to maintain the challenge year-in, year-out.”

The Verdict: Top four could be tough

While it is always a good thing to be ambitious as a football fan, it will be very tough for West Ham to break into that top four given those clubs’ vast wealth and quality, as Phillips has hinted. For instance, Leicester twice came close in the past couple of seasons but fell short on both occasions.

That being said, Man City and Chelsea weren’t always the powerhouses they are now, and financial injections of their own saw them build over time.

West Ham will no doubt aim to do the same, slowly creating a squad which can hopefully end up battling the best teams in the country and bringing Champions League football to the London Stadium.

Tottenham Hotspur’s ‘second XI’ put in another pathetic display as they were beaten by Dutch outfit Vitesse in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday evening.

Nuno Santo left the bulk of his first-team stars back in north London but it is now a decision that looks rather questionable in hindsight as Spurs slipped to third in Group G.

The home side’s Maximillian Wittek converted from the edge of the box in the 78th minute to condemn the Lilywhites to their first defeat in the competition.

Whilst the likes of Harry Kane, Heung-min Son and Tanguy Ndombele rested, the Portuguese head coach still had some senior professionals in the starting line-up, including Dele Alli, Harry Winks and Giovani Lo Celso.

The latter took plenty of pelters on social media for his performance but at least he was one of the more influential members of the lineup, having recorded the most touches (108) and key passes (one).

Alli, however, was disappointing yet again. It’s no wonder he has been dropped from Nuno’s Premier League starting XI ever since that opening 45 minutes against Arsenal in their north London derby defeat.

As per SofaScore, the Englishman was Spurs’ lowest-rated player (5.8), a stark comparison from the Argentine (7.0), who was their second-best player on the night.

The 25-year-old midfielder won just one of his nine battles (11%) in the engine room, whilst he was also dribbled past twice and he lost possession 14 times.

This suggests that he was far from an influence in the middle and if anything, he was lightweight and one of the reasons why Vitesse fired off over double the number of shots at goal than Tottenham.

Alli was certainly lacklustre in the attack, having failed to record a successful dribble from two attempts, nor did he have a shot on target or create a key chance.

‘Dele Alli disappears’ is how the Evening Standard’s Dan Kilpatrick described the display from the £27m-rated star. ‘Back at no.10 but hard to remember a meaningful contribution in the attacking third until a late run and shot, which deflected into the goalkeeper’s arms,’ he also wrote.

On the above evidence, Alli badly failed his manager yet again and it could be quite some time before we see him back in the starting XI, and that would certainly be very justified going by that performance.

Além do espaço que vários jogadores da base vem tendo no elenco alvinegro – como Igor Rabello, Marcelo e Matheus Fernandes em 2017 – a maratona de jogos do Botafogo tem feito outros garotos do Sub-20 ganharem uma chance com Jair. No último domingo, o empate em 1 a 1 com o Atlético Goianiense acabou sendo especial para Lucas Campos, que estreou pelos profissionais.

-Estou muito feliz, sonho realizado em poder ser relacionado pela primeira vez e poder entrar. Sensação de alegria. Realizado e agradecido.Me firmar no profissional é o meu próximo objetivo aqui no Botafogo. Sei que o clube está disputando três competições e eu vou estou à disposição do Jair quando ele achar necessário. Sei que o elenco tem outros atacantes de qualidade, respeito demais todos, mas quero buscar meu espaço. Se tiver uma brecha, vou dar o meu máximo para corresponder ao treinador – projetou o meia de 19 anos, que pode se tornar nova opção para Jair dentro do elenco principal do Alvinegro.

Nessa integração entre base e profissional, o meia – que já atuou em diversos momentos como segundo atacante na base – valorizou os conselhos passados por Marcelo – constantemente utilizado por Jair – no seu primeiro jogo.

-O Marcelo me deu alguns conselhos de ficar ligado no jogo e em todos os momentos, além de aproveitar cada oportunidade – completou Lucas Campos.

-Não tirando os méritos do Corinthians, merece. Mas é uma coisa anormal. Não tem uma equipe que dispara assim no campeonato. O Corinthians tem se aproveitado, conseguido vitória fora de casa. Mas daqui a pouco vai despencar.

Vice-líder do Campeonato Brasileiro após 13 rodadas, o técnico Renato Gaúcho acredita que o Grêmio conseguirá diminuir a diferença de dez pontos para o Corinthians de Fábio Carille. E mais: acha que o rendimento do atual ponteiro da tabela de classificação “vai despencar”. A análise do treinador, entretanto, vai de encontro ao apresentado nas últimas rodadas da competição. Para resumir: a vantagem corintiana no Brasileiro só tem crescido nos últimos jogos.

Hoje, o Corinthians soma dez pontos a mais que o Grêmio, que é segundo colocado, após 13 partidas. Na 12ª rodada, a diferença era de nove pontos (32 contra 23 do Flamengo), na 11ª era de sete (29 contra 22 do Grêmio), na décima era de quatro pontos (26 contra 22 do Grêmio) e na nona rodada era de um ponto (23 contra 22 do Grêmio). O Timão assumiu a liderança na quinta rodada e conservou um ponto de vantagem até a décima rodada, quando disparou.

O Grêmio precisa de pelo menos mais quatro rodadas para assumir a liderança, desde que o Corinthians tenha uma queda brusca em seus 90% de aproveitamento até o momento. O time de Fábio Carille detém as marcas de melhor mandante, melhor visitante, melhor defesa e segundo melhor ataque (justamente a equipe de Renato Gaúcho marcou um gol a mais). Restam seis jogos para o fim do primeiro turno, e o Timão tem liderança garantida pelo menos até a 16ª rodada.

Uma das preocupações de Fábio Carille é que o Corinthians mantenha o desempenho apresentado nas primeiras 13 rodadas ao longo da competição. O que dá esperança ao treinador é a consolidação do modelo de jogo e as vitórias em jogos importantes, como diante de Palmeiras e do próprio Grêmio fora de casa.

-O que me tira o sono é ficar pedindo a Deus que as coisas aconteçam sempre assim – diz o comandante do Corinthians.

It has been a tough, exhausting and emotional few weeks for the South African squad. They came to Australia aiming to become the first team to beat Australia in a Test series at home in 16 years. They achieved their goal with a pair of brilliant come-from-behind victories before the effort took its toll and they narrowly lost the third Test in Sydney.Now there is a new challenge: a limited-overs series of two Twenty20 internationals and five ODIs against Australia. Johan Botha is captaining the side in the absence of Graeme Smith, who flew home to a hero’s welcome during the week, and their starting line-up for the first Twenty20 at the MCG on Sunday features five men who did not take part in the Tests.”Fresh faces at this point of the tour is very good,” the coach Mickey Arthur said. “It’s been a long haul for us. Our guys worked extremely hard through the Test tour, so to get some young faces in just keeps refreshing the squad, which is great. We’ve now closed the book on our Test tour. We see this as another tour for us.”Lonwabo Tsotsobe and Vaughn van Jaarsveld are set to make their international debuts, while Herschelle Gibbs has also returned after completing an alcohol rehabilitation programme. South Africa’s semi-final exit from the World Cup in 2007 led them to focus on Tests for the next two years; now the one-day rebuilding phase has begun as they aim to discover the men who can win them the World Cup in 2011.”There are going to be opportunities for a lot of younger players here and it’s going to be interesting to see how they stand up,” Arthur said. “We probably know we’re not the finished article yet in one-day cricket.”Obviously our goal in one-day cricket is to be that in two years’ time when the World Cup comes about. Two years ago we started with our Test team to get them ready for this tour. We’re sort of two years behind in terms of our one-day side.”Technically South Africa are the No. 2 one-day team in the world, but like Australia’s No. 1 Test ranking, it is more a legacy of previous sides than a reflection of the current outfit. The loss of Charl Langeveldt and Shaun Pollock in the past year has left the squad short of experienced bowlers, and the Test fast men Makhaya Ntini, Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel will be rotated this series to keep them fresh for the return Tests in South Africa.It all means a genuine opportunity for Australia to build some momentum against a side that has turned their summer dark and gloomy. Australia are also looking to the next World Cup and their plans do not include Matthew Hayden, who has been dropped, but Arthur believes Australia are more advanced in their one-day arrangements than South Africa.”This is probably their chance of salvaging a little bit out of their summer,” he said. “I think they’re going to come out extremely hard. We’re expecting a huge backlash from them during this series and they have to start as favourites. There’s no doubt about that. They are a little bit further up in their rebuilding phase than we are.”Australia have given Mitchell Johnson, Michael Clarke and Brad Haddin time off from the Twenty20 games in Melbourne on Sunday and Brisbane on Tuesday as they aim to manage the workloads of their key men. It is the first time Australia will host two Twenty20s against the same opponent in a summer and Arthur said it was important not to left the shortest format expand too far at international level.”I worry about overkill of Twenty20 cricket with international teams,” he said. “There should be perhaps two Twenty20s a summer with your international teams … and then every two years you play a world championship”That’s perfect for international cricket. I worry that sometimes you might have three ODIs and a five-match Twenty20 series on a tour because of the commercial value. I think that would be wrong.”

Many West Ham United supporters have been showing their love for summer signing Nikola Vlasic after a club post on Twitter.

Vlasic, 23, made the move to West Ham towards the end of the transfer window from Russian side CSKA Moscow after two years with the club.

Following a successful international duty with Croatia, where he scored in the 3-0 win over Slovenia, Vlasic made his Hammers debut in the weekend’s 0-0 draw at Southampton, playing 27 minutes and competing 100 per cent of his pass attempts.

The Hammers take on Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday evening in their Europa League group stage opener and fans seem to suspect Vlasic could start his first game for the club

He may well get more playing time at the weekend too with Michail Antonio suspended after his red card, handing the attacking midfielder a chance to show his new employers what he is made of this week.

West Ham fans excited about Vlasic

These West Ham fans took to Twitter to react to a picture of their newest recruit on the club’s official Twitter account, with one supporter claiming the Croatia international could eventually usurp Said Benrahma.

A round-up for the second day’s play of the third-round matches of the Ranji Trophy Plate League

Cricinfo staff18-Nov-2008
Scorecard
Bengal’s debutant opener, Rohan Banerjee, hit 176 and Laxmi Ratan Shukla helped himself to 101 as the home side dominated Services at Eden Gardens, under former India captain Sourav Ganguly’s watchful eye from the sidelines. By the close of day two, Bengal had progressed to 442 for 6 – a lead of 335 – with two days to go. Banerjee, who added 190 with fellow opener Anustup Majumdar (80), became the 16th Bengal player to hit a century on debut. Attempting a big hit against offspinner Yashpal Singh, the 19-year-old was dismissed for 176 in 486 minutes, with the help of 22 boundaries.Shukla, the veteran allrounder and former Bengal captain, added to Services’ woes – they bowled 19 wides and five wides – with his third first-class century after Manoj Tiwary (10) fell to left-arm medium-pacer Rakesh Kumar in the first over after lunch. Having taken three wickets on day one, Shukla hit a breezy 101 from 129 balls, with 12 fours and a couple sixes.Ganguly, who is set to play for his state side against Vidarbha from December 12, was at Eden Gardens to watch day two and stood to applause Banerjee’s century.
Scorecard
Himachal Pradesh put themselves in prime position to whip Jammu & Kashmir at the end of the second day in Dharamsala. Having reduced J&K to 22 for 4 by stumps on the first day, Himachal bowled them out for 120 before a stellar opening partnership extended their lead to an imposing 366. Sarandeep Singh, the former India offspinner, picked up 4 for 37 and Himachal’s openers, Sangram Singh and Bhavin Thakkar added 191 for no loss. Where Parvez Rassol’s 40 was the best J&K could manage, Sangram and Thakkar – who made 122 in the first innings – finished on 97 and 77 respectively.
Scorecard
Goa took a 177-run lead in a low-scoring affair in Margao, first dismissing Jharkhand for 147 and finishing the day on 134 for 4. The hosts remained in control for the second day running thanks t their bowlers, who took the last six Jharkhand wickets for only 43 runs. Saurabh Bandekar (3-45) and Robin D’Souza (3-41) were the main men for Goa. Kuldeep Sharma did early damage with the new ball when Goa batted a second time, getting rid of the openers inside 12 overs, and Sujit Roy chipped in with 2 for 20, but Advait Katkar’s maiden first-class fifty stemmed the rot until the close.
Scorecard
Vidarbha took what could ultimately turn out to be match-winning lead over Tripura in Agartala. Dismissed for 224 after making 188 for 6 on day one, Vidarbha dismissed their opponents for 150 and finished the day on 30 for 1. Tripura’s left-arm spinner Tushar Saha added a wicket to finish with 6 for 51 from 30.3 overs, a career-best effort, but his side’s batting didn’t come good. The openers, Biswajit Dey and Sourav Dubey, made ducks and Mumbai veteran Nishit Shetty (37) and young Abhijit Dey, in his fifth game, made it into the thirties. Madhusudan Acharya netted 4 for 23 to compliment medium-pacer Mohammad Hashim’s 3 for 42. Faiz Fazal fell for 13 shortly before stumps, but Vidarbha’s 101-run cushion would have given them confidence against a weak batting side.
