WHAT HAPPENED?
Per Africa Foot, Atletico are interested in signing Iwobi this summer as Diego Simeone seeks reinforcements across his squad. The club have already been heavily linked with Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero and are now reported to have made a €25 million (£21m/$29m) offer for Iwobi.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The Fulham star enjoyed a strong season under Marco Silva, scoring nine goals and registering six assists in the Premier League as the west London club finished 11th in the table. Iwobi has three years left on his Fulham deal but Atletico are said to have offered him a four-year contract with an annual salary of €7m (£6m/$8m), which works out at around £115,000-per-week.
DID YOU KNOW?
Iwobi is a versatile presence who can play on both wings and centrally. He is an experienced international with 80 caps for Nigeria, and he has made a total of 77 appearances for the Cottagers. He was, of course, previously on the books of Arsenal, where he made 149 appearances.

It remains to be seen if Atletico will formalise their interest in Iwobi in the coming weeks. Given their interest in Romero, the midfielder may not be their priority.
Worcestershire’s second innings hit by three-hour delay but third-wicket pair stand firm
ECB Reporters Network13-Jul-2023
Jake Libby was unbeaten on 61•Getty Images
Worcestershire 242 (Coad 5-33) and 142 for 2 (Libby 61*) drew with Yorkshire 407 (Bean 135, Lyth 79, Hill 53, Finch 5-100Yorkshire’s victory push was thwarted by the weather and the Worcestershire third-wicket pair of Jake Libby and Gareth Roderick as the LV=Insurance County Championship encounter at New Road ended in a draw.The home side began the day on 22 without loss in their second innings and had been reduced to 49 for 2 – still 116 runs short of avoiding an innings defeat – when play was halted.The players were initially taken off for bad light but it was quickly followed by a torrential downpour and a three-hour delay.When play eventually resumed, acting captain Libby and Roderick closed the door on any hopes the Tykes may have had of forcing a second Championship win of the season. The pair added an unbroken 110 before the players shook hands at 5pm.Libby, Worcestershire’s leading run-scorer this summer, took his tally for 2023 to 701 with an unbeaten 61 while Roderick finished undefeated on 34.Yorkshire could take some consolation from being the better side for the majority of the game in all departments.There were several outstanding individual performances with Finlay Bean scoring an excellent century and Ben Coad picking up five wickets in Worcestershire’s first innings as they were forced to follow on.But the momentum changed during the second half of the third day when Worcestershire’s last-wicket pair of Adam Finch and Ben Gibbon held up Yorkshire for 35.3 overs and added 63 runs.Worcestershire will reflect on a performance in which they were below-par with the ball and in the field but, as has been the case in several recent games, dug in when their backs were against the wall.The ultimate winner was the weather which resulted in the loss of more than 130 overs during the four days.Gibbon and Finch resumed their nightwatch roles after returning to the middle yesterday evening.Only nine runs were added before Finch was run out following a mix-up with Gibbon who had turned Matthew Fisher to midwicket.Gibbon then pushed hard at Coad and was caught at first slip by George Hill but that was as good as it got for the visitors on the final day.Roderick and Libby joined forces and shepherded Worcestershire through to 49 for 2 before the rain arrived. When play eventually resumed Yorkshire toiled away in vain as Libby and Roderick stood firm.
Ash Gardner cracked a rapid half-century as Ireland were overwhelmed despite a strong start to the chase
AAP25-Jul-2023Ellyse Perry suffered a minor knee injury as she helped lead Australia to a convincing 153-run one-day international win over Ireland in Dublin.Perry top-scored for Australia with the bat, hitting 91 from 99 balls in their 321 for 7, before being kept off the field with a left knee issue as the tourists had Ireland all out for 168.Perry was able to move freely after the match, but medical staff will monitor the 32-year-old ahead of Australia’s final match of the tour against Ireland on Friday.It was one of the few sour notes for the tourists, who put in a complete performance in their first game since the drawn Ashes.Perry hit nine fours and three sixes in her innings, combining with Beth Mooney (49 off 62) for a 106-run fourth-wicket stand after Australia fell to 58 for 3 in the 11th over when Georgina Dempsey claimed two wickets in two balls.Ashleigh Gardner also hit 65 off 39 balls for the visitors, in an innings that included seven fours and three sixes. The allrounder took a particular liking to Cara Murray, taking 20 off one over from the legspinner for three sixes over the legside.Australia were slightly better with the ball, after an untidy Ashes series. Spinner Georgia Wareham claimed 3 for 33, while Tahlia McGrath and Jess Jonassen each took two wickets to have Ireland all out in 38.2 overs.After Ireland were 127 for 2 in the chase with some early hitting from Gaby Lewis (37) and Amy Hunter (50), the wickets fell quickly as Australia took 7-41.”It was nice to get out there and just put a good performance out there,” captain Alyssa Healy said. “That’s what we’ve been asking for for the last six weeks. And we haven’t done it consistently. It was nice to see everyone have a proper crack today and do really well.”Irish-born star Kim Garth was also a stand out, taking 1 for 9 from six overs with the new ball.”She did fantastic,” Healy said of Garth. “She could have bowled 10 on the trot there. It’s great to see her back here, she is smiling so much. To see her enjoy her cricket, it’s some really special to see.”
Glasgow Rangers were in the market to sign a new central defender in the recent January transfer window to bolster their depth in that position.
Philippe Clement and Nils Koppen eyed up a player in that role, due to injuries to the likes of John Souttar, Dujon Sterling, and Leon Balogun, and eventually brought in Rafael Fernandes on loan from Lille.
He has been an unused substitute three times and his only start so far came in the embarrassing 1-0 defeat to second tier outfit Queen’s Park in the SFA Cup.
Another player who was linked with a move to Ibrox in the January window was former Rangers defender Nikola Katic, who went on to sign for Plymouth Argyle instead.
Niko Katic's current market value
The Bosnia international joined the Championship team on loan from FC Zurich and is currently valued at just €1.5m (£1.2m) by Transfermarkt.
Despite his unimpressive market value, Katic, who made 59 appearances for Rangers, has caught the eye with some impressive performances for the Pilgrims.
The former Gers titan made a whopping 17 clearances and won five of his six duels in a historic 1-0 win over Premier League giants Liverpool in the FA Cup.
Katic has also won 65% of his duels across five appearances in the Championship for Plymouth, showing that he has hit the ground running as a dominant defender.
Rangers, however, have already hit the jackpot on their own dominant, 28-year-old, centre-back in the form of Scotland international John Souttar.
Rangers hit the jackpot with John Souttar
The Light Blues signed the Scottish defender on a free transfer from Hearts in the summer of 2022, and he was valued at £1.2m by Transfermarkt at the time of that move.
Market Movers
Souttar endured a frustrating debut campaign at Ibrox as he missed 50 games for club and country with an ankle injury, which caused his value to drop to £1m. He did not allow that setback to put him down, however, and has bounced back to become an incredibly valuable member of the squad.

As you can see in the table above, his value has since soared by millions to the point where he is now worth more than three times as much as Katic, who is the same age as the Rangers star.
In the Scottish Premiership this season, Souttar has started 16 games for the Gers and caught the eye with his dominant defensive work – winning 69% of his ground duels and 63% of his aerial battles.
John Souttar
The 28-year-old colossus, who was hailed as “unbelievable” by international teammate Andy Robertson, has also won a staggering 87% of his duels across seven appearances in the Europa League so far this term.
This shows that Souttar has been a rock at the heart of the Rangers defence, rarely allowing opposition players to get the better of him, which is why the club hit the jackpot when they signed him back in 2022.
£23k-p/w waste, Clement's mistake: 5 players the new Rangers boss must sell
The next Rangers manager will be sure to make some key changes to the playing squad when they take over the reins.
ByRoss Kilvington Mar 2, 2025
Not only did they sign an excellent defender who has performed well on the pitch, but they also signed a valuable asset whose market valuation has soared in recent years.
Since taking the reins at Tottenham Hotspur in 2023, Ange Postecoglou has endured his ups and downs.
In terms of the latter, the Australian has had to deal with an unbelievable number of injuries, which derailed his incredible start to last season and sees his team down in 12th in the Premier League this year.
However, one of the undeniable successes of his time in North London is how he took what was a diabolically boring team to watch under Antonio Conte and turned them into arguably the most entertaining in the league.
Moreover, the former Celtic boss is trying to reshape the squad with younger, less experienced but more promising players for the long term, whereas that didn’t feel like a goal under Conte, especially as one of the players he sold in 2022 is now back in the Premier League and worth an astonishing 2300% more than the fee he left for.
Spurs' 2022 sales
Before getting to the player in question, it’s worth looking at a couple of other sales made that summer, starting with an attacker who could never quite get to grips with English football: Steven Bergwijn.
The Dutch winger was undeniably talented and had some stellar moments during his time with the North Londoners – like that late comeback against Leicester City.
However, as he never established himself as a key member of the first team, it made sense to move him on when Ajax came in with an offer of around £26m in July 2022.
The 27-year-old winger would go on to score 29 goals and provide 12 assists in 83 appearances for the Amsterdam side before agreeing to join Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Ittihad for around £17.7m in September.
Since then, he has scored eight goals and provided six assists in 21 games while picking up a salary of £147k-per-week.

Another exit from the summer of 2022 was centre-back and American international Cameron Carter-Vickers, who rejoined Celtic on a permanent deal for around £6m after spending the previous season on loan with the Scottish giants.
The Tottenham academy gem only made five first-team appearances for the club but has since become a key member of the Hoops’ first team, racking up 146 appearances, in which he’s scored seven goals, provided two assists, won three league titles, three League Cups and two Scottish Cups as well.
Celtic's Cameron Carter-Vickers
However, there was another exit that summer, a player who has since returned to the top flight and is now millions more than he was when he left Spurs.
The Ex-Spurs player worth millions more today
Now, it’s famously difficult to judge how good a young player is and how good they could one day be, so every club has several youngsters they probably let go too soon, and in this instance, that youngster was Jack Clarke.
Former Tottenham player Jack Clarke.
The Englishman joined Spurs from Leeds United in 2019 for about £8.5m, but after a number of lacklustre loan spells back with the Whites, Queens Park Rangers, Stoke City and a slightly better six months with Sunderland, the club opted to sell him to the latter in July 2022 for a fee reportedly as low as £750k, but with a 25% sell-on clause.
Over the next two seasons, the often “unplayable” ace, as dubbed by pundit Alan Clarke, racked up a brilliant haul of 26 goals and 18 assists in just 92 appearances for the Black Cats, which comes to an average of a goal involvement every 2.09 games, which was also enough to convince Ipswich Town to splash £15m on him in the summer.
Now, while the talent is undeniably there, it would be fair to say that the York-born dynamo has struggled at points this season.
The step-up to the top flight has seen his output come down by a significant margin, but even then, he’s been able to score three goals and provide four assists in 23 appearances, totalling just 883 minutes.

23

Goals

That means he’s still been able to average a goal involvement every 3.28 games for the Tractor Boys or, more impressively, every 126.14 minutes.
This, combined with his previous campaigns and the fact he’s still just 24, has seen his valuation remain relatively high, with Football Transfers pricing him at €21.7m, which is about £18m or a massive 2300% increase on the price Spurs sold him for under Conte.
Ultimately, the club probably made the right call for Clarke’s career, but we reckon they might regret letting him go for such a low fee.

نفى الدكتور مدحت العدل، عضو لجنة الاستثمار بنادي الزمالك، صحة التصريحات التي أدلى بها أحمد سيد زيزو، لاعب الأهلي الجديد، بشأن تلقيه عرضًا رسميًا من نادي الشباب السعودي خلال فترة تواجده مع الزمالك، ورفض إدارة النادي وقتها السماح له بالرحيل رغم “قيمة العرض الكبيرة”، بحسب ما قاله اللاعب.
وكان أحمد سيد زيزو قد صرح بأن نادي الزمالك قد رفض عرضًا جديًا من الشباب السعودي، بمقابل مادي يصل لـ 6 ملايين دولار، بالإضافة إلى (بونص) من رعاية النادي، ولكن مسؤولي الأبيض تجاهلوا مندوب النادي السعودي المفوض لإتمام الصفقة.
وكتب مدحت العدل عبر صفحته الشخصية بموقع التواصل الاجتماعي “فيس بوك”: “قصة عقد الشباب (السعودي) المُدلس.. العقد كان في يناير 2024 بقيمة 6 ملايين دولار، مقسطة علي سنة كاملة، وقيمة الدولار كانت 29 جنيهًا، والمجلس كان له شهران فقط وهو يتولي الإدارة، فهل يُعقل أن يبيع أفضل لاعب -حينها- في ذلك الوقت ونحن ننافس على الكونفدرالية والدوري وكافة البطولات؟!”.

وأضاف: “ومدة العرض للرد كانت 24 ساعة.. وهذا يعني أنه عرض وهمي وغير جدي ولإحراج مجلس الإدارة.. هذا حقْ يراد به باطل، وعلى اللجان المأجورة التي فاحت رائحتها أن تحترم عقول الناس الذي يمشي بعضهم وراءها كالقطيع”.
واختتم: “الحقيقة المؤكدة والتي كنت طرفًا فيها.. هو عرض نادي الدرجة الثانية السعودية، أرجو أن يلتفت اللاعب لمستقبله ولا ينجرف وراء أكاذيب هو يعلمها والمذيع الذي استضافه أيضًا يعلمها وهي تمثيليّة سخيفه لا يُصدقها إلا البلهاء والسذج”.
Liverpool’s rustiness over their last few games – which saw Arne Slot’s men exit the FA Cup in dramatic fashion to Plymouth Argyle and stumble to a 2-2 draw with bitter Merseyside rivals Everton – was very much on show again versus Vitor Pereira’s Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Indeed, the table-topping Reds ended up sneaking over the line to a 2-1 victory, despite racing into a comfortable two-goal lead in the first 45 minutes.
The well-known explosiveness of Matheus Cunha for the Old Gold would end up troubling Slot’s side, with many of Liverpool’s competitors to the Premier League title looking at the Brazilian this transfer window just gone as a viable buy.
Cunha's standout display vs Liverpool
Wanted by the likes of high-flying Arsenal and Nottingham Forest during the recently closed window, Wolves would have breathed a big sigh of relief when their ex-Atletico Madrid star actually stayed put at Molineux, instead of opting for a move away.
After all, Cunha had a mega total of 11 goals and four assists heading into Sunday’s clash, with his goal total now up to an even more sturdy 12 after his bright afternoon at Anfield.
That curled finish would gift the away side a lifeline in a contest that was increasingly becoming more and more nervy due to a catalogue of errors from the home outfit, resulting in Cunha tallying up a mammoth six efforts on Alisson’s consistently shaky net.
Thankfully, Liverpool would get back to winning ways just come the full-time whistle, with Slot left to curse the fact one star attacker missed out last minute due to a fitness test failing, who could have been his faltering team’s own Cunha.
Liverpool's very own Cunha
Slot definitely could have done with some more positive reinforcements in attack during a testing second 45 minutes, with Diogo Jota frustratingly firing blanks with just 20 touches of the ball, away from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah sharing out the crucial strikes.
Not having Cody Gakpo at his disposal would have hurt the former Feyenoord boss, with the Dutch attacker really coming into his own this season under a fresh set of ideas in the dug-out.
Cody Gakpo celebrates for Liverpool
In total, the impressive 25-year-old forward has amassed eight goals and three assists across 24 Premier League appearances, meaning he could well have come in handy in attempting to kill off a spirited Wolves side.
Delving deeper into his FBref numbers also shows off his similarities to the constantly captivating Cunha, who was even deemed a “top player” by ex-Reds great Jamie Carragher, after his sublime goal stunned the Liverpool masses into silence to give Pereira’s visitors somewhat of a foothold in the back-and-forth affair.

Looking at the table above, it’s clear that both the Dutchman and the Brazilian are very similar players – as noted by FBref among those in the Premier League – in attack in terms of wanting to constantly be involved in matters up the pitch with constant shots peppering the opposition goal, alongside always wanting to advance play with a tricky dart forward.
Amazingly, Gakpo even betters Cunha when it comes to shots averaged per 90 minutes over the last year, on top of trumping him with shot-creating actions, meaning the 25-year-old might well have made his team’s win more comprehensive if he wasn’t injury-stricken.
The table-toppers will know they have struck gold with Gakpo’s signature, considering he is worth in the region of £50m now as per Transfermarkt, when he was once purchased for a more modest fee in and around the £35m mark.
Slot will be keeping everything crossed that Gakpo shrugs off his injury issues quickly to return back to the main team fold, with more nervy and tight games coming his team’s way not needed in the race to lift the Premier League title.

After spending seven years with Arsenal's youth academy, Yunus Musah quickly made a name for himself after transferring to Valencia in La Liga in 2020, making his debut for the LaLiga outfit at just 17.
Musah made nearly 100 league appearances for Valencia before moving to Italy to join Serie A side AC Milan in 2023, where he has become an important midfielder for the Rossoneri.
Musah is compensated well for his contributions at Milan, but considering his young age, his salary remains relatively modest compared to some of the bigger stars in the squad. But exactly how much does he earn?

AFPHighest paid players in the world
Serie A players, despite their high earnings, are not among the top five highest-paid footballers globally.
The top five are all from the Saudi Pro League, with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr earning the most.
Karim Benzema, formerly of Real Madrid, is second, and Riyad Mahrez, now with Al-Ahli, is third.
Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly, both from Senegal, are fourth and fifth, respectively.
Manchester United have made a bid worth more than £20m to sign a versatile new player for Ruben Amorim, and he’s keen on a move to Old Trafford.
Man Utd transfer rumours
The Red Devils and INOES are yet to make a marquee first-team signing in 2025, despite there being plenty of rumours regarding potential incomings.
Sporting CP defender Ousmane Diomande has been mooted as a target with Amorim requesting the services of the centre-back and those in Manchester reportedly preparing a £50m+ offer. Elsewhere, United have “expressed concrete interest” in Borussia Dortmund forward Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, who was previously on the books of Manchester City.
Man Utd have struck gold with "generational" star worth more than Gittens
Man Utd might decide to keep their star this winter
1 ByJoe Nuttall Jan 22, 2025
However, there are also a plethora of stars who could depart Old Trafford before the February 3 deadline. Marcus Rashford continues to be linked with numerous clubs across Europe, with his preferred destination being a move to Barcelona.
Antony looks set to be closing in on a loan move to Real Betis, whereas Alejandro Garnacho is of permanent interest to Serie A side Napoli. Tyrell Malacia is another who could depart in the coming days, with left-back continuing to be a problem area at Old Trafford.
Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester as INEOS look to solve that area of the pitch in Amorim’s 3-4-3 system, and a new update has now emerged.
Man Utd make offer to sign Patrick Dorgu
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Man Utd have sent a formal bid to sign Dorgu from Lecce. The financial package sent by the Red Devils to the Serie A side was worth €27m (£22.8m) plus add-ons, however, that has seemingly been rejected by Lecce.
Dorgu is also wanted by Napoli ahead of the summer, however, the player is keen on a move to Old Trafford.
The 20-year-old, already a four-cap Denmark international, can play as a left-back, left midfielder or even as a right winger, so would give Amorim a versatile option should he move to Manchester.
As per Transfermarkt, Dorgu’s market value has rocketed from €400,000 to a career-high €20m in the space of 18 months, so he appears to be a star in the making.
He’s made more than 50 senior appearances for Lecce after joining in 2023 from FC Nordsjaelland, the majority of which have come as a left-back and was hailed by international teammate Joachim Andersen, who said:
“Dorgu is an offensive back with lots of power and speed. He is left-footed, which helps us a lot. We also have VK (Victor Kristiansen), who is left-footed, but Dorgu is a bit more offensive.
“I see they [Dorgu and Morten Frendrup] have a lot of energy. They have a lot of audacity, and they are slightly different types of players than we have seen in the national team in the last several years.”
