West Bromwich Albion could well be new victims to the managerial merry-go-round currently going around the Championship, with Carlos Corberan very much in the running to become the next Leicester City manager, according to reports.

It would hurt, no doubt, if the Spaniard was to depart the Hawthorns this summer having overseen a relatively successful season this campaign just gone, getting the Baggies into the Championship play-off picture only to come unstuck against Southampton in the semi-final stages.

The West Midlands outfit were blown away by the eventual promotion winners at St. Mary's, losing 3-1 on aggregate with all of the strikes coming in an action-packed second leg, with Grady Diangana for the visitors struggling throughout to be the spark his team needed to upset the Saints.

The former West Ham United man could well have played his final ever Baggies game in that disappointing play-off exit, therefore, as rumours begin to mount that the Congolese international is being lined up for a surprise return to ex-employers.

Grady Diangana's future at West Brom

According to a report from Africa Foot, Julen Lopetegui's newly inherited side are keen on striking a deal with West Brom to re-sign their former youth star, who left for West Brom permanently in the summer of 2020 after a successful loan stint.

The Hammers would propose a price of £9.8m to try and win back the 5 foot 11 attacker's services, according to Africa Foot, with Leicester City, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brighton and Hove Albion all interested too from the Premier League alongside interest from further afield in AS Roma and Lazio.

West Brom wouldn't stand in Diangana's way if he was keen on a move away, having disappointed those at the Baggies in recent seasons, after an electric loan stint initially excited those at the Hawthorns.

Diangana would pick up an impressive 15 goal contributions from 31 games during his first stint at the club, helping his loan side win promotion up to the Premier League in the process, triggering West Brom into spending a whopping £18m to keep him rooted in the West Midlands for the step-up.

Described as being an "unbelievable" talent by fellow West Brom teammate Jed Wallace before a ball was kicked this season, his output could have been viewed as a little underwhelming when push came to shove, which might well see the exit door be swung open soon for the Congolese forward to leave.

Diangana's season in numbers

The £20.3k-per-week winger didn't set the world alight for his failed playoff side this campaign with the 26-year-old funnily matching those numbers put in from the 2019/20 season but from eight more games.

That doesn't tell the full tale of his season, however, with the ex-Hammers man failing to contribute to a goal finding the back of the net for his side from the last seven games, which included uninspiring performances being dished up in the play-offs when Corberan would have wanted his enigmatic attacker to shine.

Diangana would only last 64 minutes of the second leg before being hauled off the St. Mary's turf by his irritated manager, putting in a largely anonymous showing on the night with a meagre 27 touches managed and just one off-target shot registered, to close out an inconsistent and frustrating individual campaign.

With the Baggies showing a lot of confidence in homegrown gem Tom Fellows towards the latter stages of the season down the right wing, who has shades of Diangana's directness in his locker patrolling down the flanks with nine goal contributions tallied up from 39 games, the Congolese forward's settled spot in the starting XI could be no more even if he does stick it out at the Hawthorns amid the swirling transfer gossip.

This summer could be the perfect opportunity to start afresh and cut ties with the loyal Baggies servant, who has tallied up 167 appearances over five years now.

Still, there won't be any time for sentimentality when it comes to potentially selling him on, with Diangana's transfer value – according to Football Transfers – crashing significantly of late.

Diangana's transfer value in 2024

West Brom should snap off any suitor's hand wanting to bid in the region of £9.8m for their winger, with his value sitting at an extremely low £1.7m, according to Football Transfers, after failing to keep up the blistering form he started life with in the West Midlands.

That is some way off the extortionate £18m the Baggies paid to land him back in 2020, with the deal now viewed as somewhat of a misfire – even that £9.8m bid would represent a drop of just over £8m on his initial transfer fee.

The 26-year-old attacker's importance to the West Brom cause wanes when compared to Okay Yokuslu or Darnell Furlong, who have higher worths of £3.1m and £3m respectively and will be kept around for another potential promotion push next campaign.

Gaining £9m or so back for Diangana wouldn't be disastrous, however, as that would place him just inside the top five sales in West Brom's history still, and the money recouped would be far more than the lowly £1.7m estimate handed out by Football Transfers.

With his contract up next year as well, there might well be very real fears in the air that the Congolese forward could end up leaving for nothing further down the line, if West Brom don't attempt to offload the wideman sooner rather than later.

After so much early promise and charm donning a West Brom kit during the infancy of his stay instantly endeared him to supporters, Diangana's exit would be somewhat bittersweet as he couldn't quite maintain this maverick entertainer label all across his mixed spell.

But, recouping some of the £18m they spent on him this summer is better than seeing him exit for zilch.

Mohammad Abbas spoke about how opponents batting outside their crease doesn’t bother him

ESPNcricinfo staff20-Aug-2020

England might go into the final Test 1-0 up, but it is Pakistan who arguably provided the most enduring memory this series so far. After having put up 326 in the first innings, Pakistan had England on the ropes in the second, reducing the hosts to 12 for 2, with the ball swinging and seaming extravagantly and Mohammad Abbas prowling. Out walked Ben Stokes, England’s best batsman on form, to try and set his side back on course.In an absorbing game of cat and mouse, Abbas ripped a hole through the left-hander’s defence, threading the needle to find just the perfect amount of seam movement to beat Stokes’ outside edge as he strode out of his crease onto the front foot, trying to disrupt the angle from which the Pakistan fast bowler was operating with metronomic precision. Having gone past the bat, it just clipped the outside edge of the off stump to send both bails flying, as an aghast Stokes and a disbelieving Root, watching from the other end, exchanged a momentary glance.Abbas opened up on that famous delivery, saying he wasn’t as bothered by batsmen standing outside their crease to him as people might think.”Ben Stokes is a big name in cricket right now,” he told the PCB’s in-house media channel. “He is one of the world’s best allrounders, and he’s performed several times for his country. Before the game, we watched videos and analysed how best to disrupt him. So we went round the wicket straightaway. I tried to bowl in the right areas, and he kept moving forward to try and disturb me. But my view is when a batsman comes forward, I am not disturbed by that. I feel I am disturbing the batsman by forcing him to move around the crease.”There is a bit of regret we didn’t get over the line at Old Trafford. We played brilliant cricket for three and a half days, and England then took the game away from us by playing better cricket for two hours. We’re excited, but we need a lot of hard work, and we’ll leave no stone unturned in trying to level the series.”Abbas has enjoyed a flying start to his Test career, taking 59 wickets in his first ten matches, and established himself as an automatic selection with 17 wickets in a two-match Test series against Australia on the turgid pitches of UAE in 2018. A back injury hampered him for much of the year that followed, but he said the conditions in England were enjoyable to bowl in.”Bowlers get help here in England because of the weather, conditions, as well as the Duke ball, the seam of which is upright,” he said. “I am a seam bowler, so that assists me. But wherever you play, if you bowl well, you will be rewarded. In England, you can dominate the batsmen a little bit, but you need to remain consistent, bowl long spells sometimes, and then reap rewards. You can’t expect wickets to just be given to you without working hard and maintaining your concentration levels.”

ESPNcricinfo staff02-Sep-2020

Jamie Overton will join Surrey on loan for the rest of the 2020 domestic season.Overton, who has already agreed a three-year deal to join Surrey from Somerset at the end of the current season, will now play for Surrey throughout September.He will be available for all South Group matches in the Vitality Blast and Surrey’s one remaining Bob Willis Trophy fixture against Sussex, starting on Sunday.Surrey Director of Cricket Alec Stewart thanked his Somerset counterpart, Andy Hurry, and the club for releasing Overton. “I’m looking forward to seeing Jamie play and perform in a Surrey shirt,” Stewart said.Overton, who went on loan to Northamptonshire last season, has struggled to gain opportunities in Somerset’s first-choice attack, with twin brother Craig, Lewis Gregory and Josh Davey all ahead of him in the County Championship pecking order in recent times. Somerset have also boosted their seam-bowling stocks by adding Jack Brooks and Vernon Philander, although the latter’s deal was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.While Surrey have several seamers on their books, they are regularly without the Curran brothers due to international duties.Part of England’s 30-man training group ahead of the West Indies Test series, Overton has been in impressive form with bat and ball for Somerset in the Bob Willis Trophy.He claimed a five-wicket haul – and seven wickets for the match – against Glamorgan before scoring 68 and taking 4 for 26 among five wickets for the match against Northamptonshire. He then scored a maiden first class century with his 120 in Somerset’s draw with Warwickshire.Hurry said: “Jamie has requested an immediate loan move after recently agreeing a contract with Surrey CCC for next season and beyond and we have agreed to this request. I want to take this opportunity to thank Jamie for all his contributions and commitment to the club over the last 10 years and we wish him well in the next chapter of his career.”

Celtic are among those chasing a move for a former Real Madrid and Bayern Munich talent this summer, but will face stiff competition for his signature.

Rodgers keen to build on success

Though at times it looked unlikely, Brendan Rodgers did end up with a domestic double to crown his first season as Celtic boss (this time around), scooping the Scottish Cup as well as the Scottish Premiership, both at the expense of Rangers.

They are keen to make Adam Idah and Paulo Bernardo's loan moves permanent this summer, with the former in particular having had a transformational effect on Celtic's attack.

Joining from Norwich in midseason, Idah scored 9 goals in 19 games and grabbed a further 2 assists, leading Rodgers to admit he wanted the 23-year-old to be signed permanently.

“Hopefully we can do something. He has a long-term contract at Norwich but he is definitely one I would love to bring back here. At 23 with the potential and quality he has I think he can really push on in his career.”

But their transfer business will stretch beyond loanees this summer, and they appear to have identified a potential gem.

Bhoys chasing ex-Real Madrid prodigy

Now, Celtic have been credited with an interest in Salernitana defender Flavius Daniliuc, who spent his formative years among footballing royalty. The defender, who has spent the second half of the season on loan with RB Salzburg, developed his skills at Real Madrid initially as an attacking midfielder, where he was singled out for his playmaking qualities before moving to the Bayern Munich youth set up on a free transfer.

In Bavaria, he played alongside the likes of Jamal Musiala, Joshua Zirkzee and Josip Stanisic at youth level, where he was converted to a centre-back after "having impressed there when the team was short of defenders".

He could finally end the transfer speculation at Celtic Park.

Posts ByBen Browning Jun 11, 2024

According to Bayern Munich's academy boss Jochen Sauer, "he had very good technique” as an attacking midfielder, but "had a great presence in central defence, exuded confidence and conviction".

Though Bayern wanted to keep him at the club, he opted to leave in search of regular football, and after stints at Nice and Salernitana, he spent the second half of the season with Austrian giants RB Salzburg, making 11 appearances across their backline.

Now, reports from Germany [Via the Sun] claim that Celtic are monitoring his situation, with the Hoops "in the race" to land him this summer alongside Salzburg, who have an option to buy the player as part of the loan agreement from the now Serie B outfit.

With three appearances for Austria to date, Daniliuc is likely to want top flight football once more next season and Celtic could offer him that, along with a spot in next season's Champions League.

However, the 23-year-old could also return to his homeland on a permanent basis should he wish, which could be hard for the Hoops to rival.

Here’s a factfile on the latest IPL debutant

ESPNcricinfo staff29-Sep-2020

Who is Abdul Samad?
A big-hitting batsman who can also bowl quickish legspin, Samad was one of the breakout stars of the 2019-20 Indian domestic season. Nobody struck more sixes than his 36 for Jammu & Kashmir in the Ranji Trophy, and in all he hit 592 runs in 17 innings at an eye-popping strike rate of nearly 113.Mentored by Irfan Pathan, the J&K player-cum-mentor, and endorsed by Milap Mewada, the coach, Samad became the fourth player from J&K to break into the IPL after Parvez Rasool, Mansoor Dar and Rasikh Salam, when Sunrisers snapped him up for his base price of INR 20 lakh in the December 2019 auction.What about Pathan’s role in his development?
Pathan and Mewada first spotted Samad as a 16-year-old in 2018, at a trial in Jammu. His driving on the up against quicks bowling from 18 yards out had Pathan digging up Samad’s scores in districts cricket.ALSO READ: Will big-hitting Abdul Samad make it to the big time?”He was effortlessly hitting the ball,” Pathan told ESPNcricinfo during the most recent domestic season. “But when I looked through his numbers, he didn’t have one 50-plus score. I took him aside and told him he would be put in the probables, but he needed to work on preserving his wicket. It’s not about six-hitting.What is his USP?
Hitting sixes. It was on display in the Ranji Trophy. It was also on display in the 50-over Vijay Hazare Trophy when he smacked four sixes off Piyush Chawla in Jaipur. He was also at it in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy, making rapid runs in the middle order on tough, spin-friendly pitches in Surat. His cameos – 29 off 10 balls against Odisha, 28* off 13 against Nagaland, and 32* off 24 balls against Saurashtra – all contributed to victories for J&K.When VVS Laxman, Sunrisers’ mentor, was looking for a middle-order finisher for his franchise, Mewada, who was Laxman’s Under-19 team-mate many moons ago, recommended Samad for the role.Does he have the ability to build an innings too?
Samad has showed signs of it in the Ranji Trophy. When J&K were reduced to 131 for 4 in their second innings against Maharashtra on a green track in Pune, he absorbed the pressure and averted a collapse, scoring 78 off 89 balls. His contribution was central to J&K stretching their lead to 363 and eventually winning the game. Samad also stepped up against a quality Karnataka attack, making 43 off 50 balls in the Ranji quarter-final at home, but J&K narrowly fell short of the first-innings lead and eventually lost the game.In a slightly iffy Sunrisers middle order, he may have to play the dual role of building an innings as well as finishing depending on the game-scenario and conditions in IPL 2020.
