West Ham: Transfer insider thinks star would "listen" to offers

West Ham United striker Michail Antonio would consider a money-spinning move to Saudi Arabia this summer amid uncertainty over his future at the London Stadium, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

Is Michail Antonio leaving West Ham United?

According to journalist Pete O'Rourke writing in his biweekly column for Football Insider, it is believed that Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq, who former England international Steven Gerrard manages, hold a 'concrete interest' in trying to entice the £85k-a-week ace to the Gulf region this summer.

The report states that Al Ettifaq have received 'encouragement' from West Ham over a potential deal being struck and the Hammers wouldn't stand in the way of the Jamaica international making a lucrative cross-continental move.

90min corroborate that West Ham would be open to parting ways with Antonio and have confirmed that they are 'anticipating' a bid for the 33-year-old from Al Ettifaq.

It is said that West Ham would sanction Antonio's departure if a 'suitable' offer was to arrive due to the veteran being in the final year of his contract at the London Stadium.

Over the course of his time in east London, Antonio has been a fan favourite and notched 75 goals and 43 assists in 276 games in West Ham colours, as per Transfermarkt.

Nevertheless, a new challenge could now await Antonio as he veers towards the twilight years of his career and talks are at an early stage, according to Sky Sports Premier League.

Speaking to Football FanCast, transfer insider Jones thinks that Antonio would be willing to consider the prospect of heading to Saudi Arabia to join Al Ettifaq.

Jones told FFC: "There has been nothing formal around this one at the moment, but that doesn't mean that conversations have not begun between intermediaries. It wouldn't actually surprise me if the player was willing to at least listen to what is on the table there because his future at West Ham, long-term, seems a little bit in doubt; he's still got a year of his contract to run. West Ham, I believe, have the option to give him one more year on top of that, so it's not like he's desperate to get out of there, but if he's offered huge money to go to Saudi Arabia, it wouldn't surprise me if he considered it."

What now for West Ham United?

If Antonio was to head for the sunnier climbs of the Middle East, West Ham boss David Moyes would likely enter the market to try and recruit another forward to take his place.

Chelsea striker Armando Broja has reportedly been earmarked as someone who could fill the void and may join the club on a permanent basis for a fee in the region of £30 million, La Gazzetta dello Sport claim.

Armando Broja Chelsea

In other positions, Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse is a target for the Hammers and they are ready to ramp up their interest in the England international by submitting an official bid for his services, as per Football Insider.

Tuttomercatoweb has detailed that Manchester City youngster Taylor Harwood-Bellis is closing in on a move to the London Stadium and should arrive in the capital across the next few days.

West Ham Have £14.6m Bid For Striker Turned Down

West Ham have had a £14.6m bid for Strasbourg forward Habib Diallo rejected, according to a key update from journalist Papa Mahmoud Gueye.

Who is Habib Diallo?

The 28-year-old has been an impressive performer for his current side since arriving from Metz back in 2020, shining in their attack and producing a consistent end product.

Last season, Diallo scored a highly impressive 20 goals in 32 Ligue 1 starts for Strasbourg, also winning an eye-catching 3.6 aerial duels per game (as per WhoScored), showing what an excellent focal point he was. His overall tally currently stands at 41 strikes in 103 appearances, with six assists also thrown in for good measure.

The Senegalese's current deal expires in the summer of 2025, and while next year would be the last chance for Strasbourg to realistically earn good money for him, now could be the best opportunity to receive the biggest amount possible.

West Ham have been linked with a move for Diallo recently, seeing him as someone who could potentially transform their attack, but a new update has now emerged regarding their pursuit of him ahead of the new Premier League season.

Habib-Diallo-in-action-against-Liverpool

Have West Ham bid for Habib Diallo?

According to Gueye, journalist from Senegalese outlet Taggat [via Sport Witness], the Hammers have been rebuffed in their efforts to sign Diallo in the summer transfer window:

He wrote on Twitter: "West Ham have just seen their offer of 17 million euros (£14.6m) for Habib Diallo refused by Strasbourg."

This is clearly a setback for West Ham as they look to bring in a striker this summer. The Hammers were not exactly prolific in the Premier League last season, only scoring 42 times in 38 matches. No player scored more than six goals for the Hammers in the competition, with Jarrod Bowen and Said Benrahma leading the way with that amount.

Meanwhile, Gianluca Scamacca failed to set the world alight in his first campaign at the London Stadium and has been linked with Roma over recent weeks.

It does suggest that the east Londoners are still pushing hard to snap up Diallo, however, and the hope is that a bigger offer is tabled soon – one that could sway Strasbourg's thinking and persuade them to accept a bid, allowing West Ham to seal the signings of someone currently at the peak of his powers.

Either way, a new centre-forward has to make the move to the London Stadium in order to improve West Ham next season, and the huge fee received for Declan Rice's signature will certainly generate plenty of transfer funds, allowing David Moyes to improve in several key areas.

Diallo is an 18-cap and four-goal Senegal international, and Strasbourg coach Frederic Antonetti recently praised the impact he had made over the past 12 months, saying:

"Habib Diallo is simply confirming his good season and all the good things everyone thinks of him. I told you… that he was reliable, and he's proved it again."

Diallo looks prepared to test himself in the Premier League, and the hope is that his future belongs at West Ham rather than elsewhere.

Court warns BCCI about ineligible office-bearers

In a warning to the BCCI and its state associations, the Supreme Court has indicated that people who do not meet the Lodha Committee’s criteria to be office-bearers cannot take part in the board’s meetings or represent it at the ICC.The response was to the Committee of Administrators (CoA), appointed by the court to run the BCCI, asking for clarity on whether disqualified office-bearers could return as representatives to attend BCCI or ICC meetings. The CoA’s request was part of its third status report and was submitted to the court on Friday, two days before the BCCI’s special general body meeting.The SGM was called in part to select a person to represent the board at the crucial quarterly round of ICC meetings in Dubai from April 24 to 27. The COA was aware that former BCCI president N Srinivasan, who fails the eligibility criteria on three counts, would be in attendance and was a favourite for the role. Eventually, the SGM was adjourned, and acting BCCI president CK Khanna said they would reconvene after the court issued its final decision on April 17.According to the Lodha Committee’s recommendations, anyone who is 70 years of age, or has completed separate nine-year terms as an office-bearer at state and BCCI levels is no longer eligible to remain an office-bearer with the board. In a short hearing on Monday the CoA, through its legal counsel Chander Uday Singh, raised the concern that these disqualified officials could still represent the board at ICC meetings.Kapil Sibal and Tushar Mehta, arguing on behalf of the BCCI and some state associations, said even if a person is disqualified to be an office-bearer, they could not be barred from being named a representative for the board or a state.The three-judge bench comprising Justices Dipak Misra, AM Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud said they would give their final decision on April 17. “This is a matter to be debated,” they said, although they did wonder about how a disqualified official could represent the BCCI at the ICC to do something “indirectly which otherwise directly was not permissible.”This is the second time in three months the court has been asked to take a call on who will represent the BCCI at ICC meetings. In February, the court had approved three names – Vikram Limaye (CoA member), Amitabh Choudhury (acting secretary) and Anirudh Chaudhry (treasurer) for this purpose. Choudhury attended the ICC chief executives committee meeting while Limaye represented BCCI at the Financial & Commercial Affairs and the ICC Board meetings.

Aston Villa In Advanced Talks For New Signing At Villa Park

Aston Villa are reportedly interested in West Bromwich Albion youngster Rico Richards, as Unai Emery plots to steal a rising star from the club’s rivals.

It’s expected to be a busy summer at Villa Park, as both Emery and Monchi aim to take the side to the next level following on from last season’s highs.

The Spanish duo will be hoping to bolster the squad with depth in all areas, as Emery explained to The Athletic in April, which is something they could do by introducing the talent of West Brom’s Richards.

What’s the latest on Rico Richards to Aston Villa?

As reported by Football Insider, Villa are in ‘advanced talks’ to sign the 19-year-old talent who will leave West Brom this summer at the expiry of his contract.

The report states that talks are ‘well underway’ and making good progress, with Villa ‘confident’ in reaching a full agreement with the player.

Who is Rico Richards?

Hailed as a “technician” by analyst Tom Williams, the teenager has shone for the Baggies’ academy sides and made his Championship debut earlier this year, playing ten minutes against Hull City.

Deployed primarily an attacking midfielder, the 19-year-old is versatile in his position behind the striker, with the ability to play on either flank as well as centrally.

In 19 Premier League 2 Division 2 appearances last season, the 6 foot Englishman contributed to nine goals, scoring four and assisting five in an impressive feat in the final third for the skilled teenager.

Described as a player that “loves dribbling” by Williams, the youngster could offer a lot to Emery’s side, and would follow in the footsteps of academy stars that have made the cut to the first team, including the likes of Jack Grealish and a certain Jacob Ramsey who transitioned into being a regular starter.

Possessing the ability to play centrally and on the flanks like Richards, Ramsey initially filtered out Bertrand Traore with his top performances over the past few seasons, a trend that Richards could follow as he bids to dislodge someone of Emiliano Buendia's standing.

Signed from Norwich City in the summer of 2021, the Argentine playmaker secured 32 goals and assists in his final Championship campaign with the Canaries, however, has failed to show his full potential as of yet in the Midlands.

The 26-year-old has registered just 18 goal involvements in the entirety of his Villa career which has spanned over 78 appearances so far, showing his struggle for form in the Premier League.

With the "splendid" Richards – as dubbed by Joe Chapman – potentially arriving at Villa Park, the youngster could target Buendia’s spot in the starting 11, just as Ramsey did in claiming the right-flank as his quarters.

As per The Athletic’s Steve Madeley, the teen has been described by unnamed coaches that have worked alongside him as being an individual with an ‘eye for a goal-creating pass’, to a level that is ‘rarely seen in players his age’.

With his composure on the ball and in the final third, Emery could discover a revelation in Richards, in a talent that could grace his side for years to come and emulate the success of youngsters that have excelled before him at Villa Park.

Karthik ton gives Tamil Nadu winning start

A round-up of the Group B matches on the opening day of the 2016-17 Vijay Hazare trophy

ESPNcricinfo staff25-Feb-2017

File photo – Dinesh Karthik razed Delhi with his ninth List A century•BCCI

Dinesk Karthik’s 118 off 97 balls took Tamil Nadu to 314 for 8 and set up their eventual 42-run win over Delhi at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. After being put in, Tamil Nadu’s openers Kaushik Gandhi (41) and Ganga Sridhar Raju (33) came good, which took the team to 94 for 2 when Karthik came out. Karthik began by adding 58 for the fourth wicket with Vijay Shankar, before sharing a 105-run fifth-wicket stand with B Indrajith. Karthik was bowled by Ashish Nehra with the score on 276, having struck 13 fours and three sixes. Thereafter, Indrajith, and Antony Dhas’ late cameo ensured a strong finish. Nehra finished with 4 for 39 in nine overs.Shikhar Dhawan dominated the early part of Delhi’s chase, scoring 23 in an opening stand of 32 with Gautam Gambhir. Following Dhawan’s dismissal, Gambhir added 86 with Dhruv Shorey. Both batsmen struck half-centuries, but Delhi slid from 118 for 1 to 136 for 4. A late half-century stand for the seventh wicket between Milind Kumar and Pawan Negi brought the chase back to life. But Delhi’s hopes came crashing down with Milind’s dismissal for 68, with 49 still needed. Delhi were bowled out shortly thereafter for 272.At the KIIT Stadium, Gurinder Singh’s career-best 61 at No. 7 took Tripura to a tense two-wicket win in a slow-scoring thriller against Kerala. After electing to bowl, Tripura restricted Kerala to 233 for 9, helped new-ball bowler Abhijit Sarkar’s 3 for 41. In reply, Tripura made 235 for 8 in 49.2 overs to win with four balls to spare.That Kerala were lifted to 233 was down to captain Sachin Baby and Salman Nizar, who helped them recover from 60 for 5. The duo shared a 120-run stand before Baby was bowled for 77 by Sanjay Majumder. But Nizar carried on and remained unbeaten on 82 – his best List A score – as Kerala scored 53 runs in the last nine overs. Like Kerala, Tripura were helped by a sixth-wicket partnership. Gurinder, who walked out at 86 for 5, took them to 161 in the company of Yashpal Singh before the latter was caught behind off Sandeep Warrier. Sanjay Majunder then dominated a seventh-wicket stand of 49 before both batsmen fell on the same score. But Sarkar and Dwaipayan Bhattacharjee fought nerves to see their team through.Maharashtra won a run glut against Himachal Pradesh by 25 runs in Tangi. After being inserted, Maharashtra put up 376 for 7 on the back of debutant Ruturaj Gaikwad’s maiden List A century. Likewise, Prashant Chopra struck a century opening the innings in Himachal’s chase, but left-arm spinner Jagdish Zope’s 4 for 60 on List A debut ensured Himachal were bowled out for 351.Gaikwad set up Maharashtra’s platform with a 167-run opening stand with Vijay Zol (62). He added 53 more for the second wicket with Ankit Bawne before being bowled by Bipul Sharma’s left-arm spin. Naushad Shakih then took charge of proceedings, and along with Shrikant Mundhe, punished Himachal. Naushad struck 72 off 39 balls with eight fours and three sixes, while Mundhe’s 42 came off 20 balls and with the help of three fours and as many sixes.Chopra’s even 100 in the chase came off 85 balls. He began by putting on 98 with his opening partner Ankush Bains (38), before following it up with 68 with Robin Bist (46) for the second wicket. With Bist falling for 46, caught off Anupam Sanklecha, Himachal were in a bit of a wobble at 227 for 6. But Ankit Kaushik mounted a late fightback, and along with Bipul Sharma (20) and Pankaj Jaiswal (24), took Maharashtra close. But Zope, who had taken out the openers, returned to dismiss the last two batsmen. Kaushik was unbeaten on 59 off 34 balls, with five fours and four sixes.

Ramela suspended from Dolphins game

Cape Cobras captain Omphile Ramela has been suspended from their next Sunfoil Series match against Dolphins on November 3. He was found guilty of breaching CSA’s code of conduct during a match against Knights on October 11, after team-mate Zubayr Hamza was given out handled the ball.Ramela had run foul of clause 6.3.1 (f) – “using language/ a gesture that is seriously obscene, offensive or insulting to another participant or a spectator”. Should he repeat the offence over the next year, he will be suspended for another game.”I have taken into account the fact that Mr Ramela admitted the offence and has accepted that his behaviour was inappropriate,” CSA Disciplinary Commissioner, Professor Rian Cloete, said.”I am satisfied that the appropriate penalty in respect of this offence, which is a level 2 offence, is a suspension for two matches, of which one (1) match is suspended for one calendar year.”

Tottenham: Slot Already Planning Feyenoord Raid For Spurs

Tottenham manager target Arne Slot apparently plans to bring "trusted" Feyenoord coaches Marino Pusic and Sipke Hulsoff with him to Spurs, a move which could "complicate" matters.

What's the latest Spurs manager news?

The 44-year-old is reliably believed to be a top Spurs manager target as chairman Daniel Levy steps up his search for Antonio Conte's successor, with the Italian departing two months ago.

Slot is apparently eager to make the move to north London but other managerial candidates, like Luis Enrique and Sporting CP's Ruben Amorim, aren't completely out of the running either.

Other names in the frame include Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou and Brighton's Roberto De Zerbi, with the latter coach chasing European football at the Amex.

However, Slot is currently the overwhelming favourite, according to reports, with The Daily Mail sharing an update on his intentions in regards to joining Spurs.

Feyenoord's Arne Slot

According to their information, Slot apparently "plans" to bring "trusted" coaches Pusic and Hulsoff to north London from Feyenoord – a stance which could well force Spurs to pay more for the tactician.

Indeed, it is believed the Dutch champions will demand over the reported £6 million fee Feyenoord originally wanted due to Slot's desire to take both Pusic and Hulsoff.

There are apparently growing tensions behind-the-scenes overt Slot's future, with a key meeting planned between both Feyenoord and his agent, Rafaela Pimenta.

Slot's plot to steal away Pusic and Hulsoff could actually "complicate" his departure, according to The Mail, with Feyenoord also "angry" given they have committed to his summer transfer targets.

It appears Tottenham are rustling a few feathers in their attempts to prise away the Dutchman and it will be interesting to see how this develops.

Who is Arne Slot?

The tactician, fresh off his first ever Eredivisie title win, also reached a UEFA Europa Conference League final last year and narrowly missed out to Jose Mourinho's Roma.

Slot is amassing quite the reputation abroad and his stock has never been higher, with Dutch football journalist Marcel van der Kraan even likening him to Pep Guardiola for his style of play.

He explained to talkSPORT:

"The best thing about Arne Slot is that he is probably the best attacking coach I have seen in the last 35-40 years at Feyenoord."He is very similar to Pep Guardiola, his ideas are very similar, he is a massive fan of Pep and he plays the same time."He goes ultra-attacking, he is almost like a maniac. Not on the touchline but it is fantastic to see how he has turned an average side into a wonderful attacking machine."

Carlson's debut five-for scuppers Northants

Kiran Carlson took 5 for 28 on his first-class debut to help bowl Northamptonshire out for 269 on the opening day at Wantage Road

ECB Reporters Network31-Aug-2016
ScorecardRob Newton helped put on 140 for the first wicket before Northants collapsed•Getty ImagesKiran Carlson took 5 for 28 on his first-class debut to help bowl Northamptonshire out for 269 on the opening day at Wantage Road. It was a remarkable introduction for the 18-year-old offspinner from Cardiff.Flighting the ball well and enjoying help from a dry, used wicket, Carlson – playing only due to Craig Meschede’s back injury – tore through the Northants lower order. The home side collapsed in the afternoon, losing 9 for 84, although it may yet prove a heathy total.Carlson’s first wicket came as a a great relief for Glamorgan with the final ball before lunch. He broke an opening stand of 140 with a full delivery that beat Ben Duckett’s sweep and took out leg stump. He returned to pick up a second wicket in the over before tea, a delivery that spun in to hit the off stump of Steven Crook.After tea, a similar delivery bowled Rory Kleinveldt and he then induced David Murphy and Graeme White into driving to Graham Wagg at short extra-cover to complete an extraordinary debut.Carlson finished off what was an impressive comeback from Glamorgan. The home side were in a commanding position at lunch, 140 for 1, but as some heavier cloud rolled in and the breeze picked up, batting became less straightforward. Glamorgan, to their credit, also bowled with far more discipline and took 5 for 45 in the second session.It was Wagg who made the breakthrough in the afternoon, shaping a delivery back into the right-handed Rob Newton just enough to take an inside edge into the stumps – Newton gone for 78. Rob Keogh followed in identical fashion for just 5, with Timm van der Gugten the successful bowler.In between those dismissals, Alex Wakely edged David Lloyd’s medium pace to slip and when Saif Zaib was splendidly caught by Jacques Rudolph running back from mid-on as Zaib looked to hit Owen Morgan down the ground, Northants’ ambitions of a large first-innings total were checked.It was quite a turnaround from the morning session, when Duckett went past fifty for the sixth time this year in the County Championship, from 65 balls. Among his eight fours featured the odd moment of fortune – an early drive wide of the slip cordon and a top-edged cut over second slip – and his six was a miscued pull that flew over long leg.Duckett’s opening partner Newton made his own half-century in 81 balls but his afternoon dismissal was the beginning of Northants’ collapse.
