Tottenham is on the hunt for a teenage ‘wonderkid’.

Tottenham are interested in signing teenage wonderkid Michael Kayode (Fiorentina) for £33.8 million, according to British media outlet The Boot.

The 2004-born defender is a highly sought-after defensive talent around the world. Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Man City, FC Barcelona, and others are reportedly interested. He made 26 appearances in the Italian Serie A in the 2023-2024 season.

Tottenham are also in the race to sign Kayode. Spurs, 안전놀이터 추천 led by manager Enze Postecoglou, finished fifth in the English Premier League (EPL) in 2023-2024 with 20 wins, 6 draws, and 12 losses (66 points). They punched their ticket to European competition next season.

The club is now looking to strengthen its squad to reach even higher heights.

‘Spurs need the full support of chairman Daniel Levy if they want to go to the next level,’ says The Bootroom. Spurs have made contact to sign the talented defender. Kayode has been described as a wonderkid. He had a productive season in Serie A last season, leading the team. His current transfer fee is reportedly £33.8 million. That’s not cheap. However, Tottenham are the favorites to sign Kayode. Fiorentina said, ‘We expect a bid to come in soon’.

There are question marks. ‘Tottenham should prioritize the signing of a striker,’ says Dubutrum. They should focus on securing a replacement for Harry Kane (Bayern Munich). There’s a possibility that the Frenchman could leave. The club should sign a striker who can take the team to the next level. At the moment, they are relying too much on Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min scored 17 goals and provided 10 assists in 35 league games last season. 카지노사이트 추천 He also played as a frontline striker depending on the team’s situation.

“Dominic Soboszlai (24, Liverpool) showed real leadership,” said the British publication Tribuna on Thursday.

He may be the youngest captain, but he’s certainly earned the title.

The Hungarian national team scored a stoppage-time winner to secure a 1-0 victory over Scotland in their final Euro2024 Group A match at the Stuttgart Arena in Stuttgart, Germany, at 4 a.m. on Thursday.

Hungary, who finished third in the group behind fellow group members Germany (2 wins, 1 draw, 7 points) and Switzerland (1 win, 2 draws, 5 points), will now depend on the results of the other group matches to determine their place in the round of 16. The first and second place finishers in each group, as well as the best four of the six third-placed nations, will also qualify.

Scotland failed to make it out of the group stage, 안전놀이터 finishing in last place (D1, L2, P1) without a single point in the tournament.

Hungary lined up in a 3-4-2-1 formation on the day.

Varanavas Varga was up front, with Dominic Soboslai-Roland Salai in the attacking second line. Milos Kerkez-Undrash Schaefer-Callum Stiles-Bendeguz-Bowler filled out the midfield. Marton Dardewey-Bili Orban-Endre Boatker formed the back four, with Peter Gulacci starting in goal.

The first half was dominated by Hungary, but goals were hard to come by. Despite five shots on goal, none were on target. Scotland didn’t have a single shot on target. In the 41st minute, Orbán had a header off a free kick that hit the post.

Hungary continued to attack in the second half.

In the 23rd minute of the second half, there was a mishap on a free kick opportunity. Frontline striker Varga collided with opposing goalkeeper Gunn and was knocked unconscious. The situation was urgent.

The medical team’s slow movement was frustrating. Varga, lying on the ground, was given first aid by team captain Soboszlai before being loaded into an ambulance and taken to the hospital. In the 29th minute of the second half, Hungary substituted Ulsan HD forward Martin Adam for Varga.

Hungary managed to pull a goal back.

On a counterattack just before the end of the game, “substitute” Kevin Choszos got his foot on a cross from the right and fired the ball home. The game ended the same way. A 1-0 win for Hungary.

Tribuna said: “There was a terrible moment in the Hungary-Scotland game. Varga collapsed unconscious. Varga’s teammates called for help from the medical staff and the captain, Soboszlai, took the stretcher himself and helped the medics get to his teammate.”

After the game, the Hungarian Football Association announced that Varga was stabilized. However, the broken bone will require surgery and he is expected to miss the rest of the Euros.

Meanwhile, Soboszlai, born in 2000, is the youngest captain in Euro history at 23 years old. Ahead of the tournament, Sly said: “We have nothing to lose. 슬롯사이트 순위 But we can achieve great things in Germany,” he said, adding that despite being the underdogs, he was confident they could pull off a miracle.

“A few days ago I found out that I am the youngest captain in the history of this tournament. I want to thank coach Marco Rossi for believing in me and giving me the opportunity,” he said, adding: “It’s a great honor for me. It’s a great honor for me.”

The Hungarian players, rallying around Soboszlyi, raised Varga’s jersey after the match and wished him a speedy recovery.

After winning the English Premier League (EPL) title for the last four seasons in a row, the reigning champions are looking to strengthen their squad in the summer transfer window. They’re spending a whopping £100 million to bring in a quality midfielder. Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, who is entering the final season of his contract, is one of Pep Guardiola’s top targets.

‘Man City are ready to make a move for the £100 million midfielder, who has been earmarked by Guardiola,’ according to British publication Cut Offside on April 24 (KST).

City are arguably the ‘best team of the moment’. They have won the EPL title in four consecutive seasons, starting with the 2020-2021 campaign. 카지노사이트 In the 2022-2023 season, they won the triple (EPL, FA Cup, and Champions League). The likes of Liverpool and Arsenal have tried to stop City from winning the title, but have always fallen short. The competition has been fierce, but City has always come out on top.

That’s why City is looking to “upgrade” this summer in the transfer market.

If all goes according to plan, they will be unstoppable in the EPL. They’re not just the best in the EPL, they’re the best in the universe. They already have one of the best midfielders in the world in Kevin De Bruyne, and with the addition of Guimaraes, they’ll have a formidable midfield.

The outlet cited a report from GiveMeSports that said: ‘Man City are preparing to sign Guimarães. It is expected to further strengthen the squad. Guimarães, a Brazilian specialist midfielder, signed a new five-year contract with Newcastle last year. His contract runs until 2028 and was thought to be off-limits.

However, Guimarães had a £100 million buyout clause. It was to be activated in June. City wanted to activate this clause and integrate him into the squad immediately. More importantly, Guardiola wants him badly.

If City make a move, Newcastle will have a hard time stopping it. Newcastle are aware of this. Of course, Guimarães wants to stay at Newcastle. However, if City meet his release clause of £100 million, he’ll have no choice but to move on. Also, 실시간 바카라사이트 the prospect of playing for a team that competes for the EPL title every season and plays in the Champions League could be enough to change his mind. It will be interesting to see if City can complete their dream midfield pairing of ‘The Browner-Guimarães’.

Bruno Fernandes (29, Man United) is allegedly not getting along with the Portuguese attacking lineup.

“Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes is facing problems with teammate Cristiano Ronaldo at the Euros,” reported ‘Strictly News’ on July 23 (KST).

The Portuguese national team defeated the Turkiye 3-0 in their UEFA Euro 2024 Group F second leg at BVB Stadion Dortmund in Dortmund, Germany, at 1:00 a.m. on June 23.

Portugal lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Cristiano Ronaldo lined up up front, with Japhael Leroy-Bruno Fernandes-Bernardo Silva in the attacking second line. 바카라사이트 João Palinha-Vitinha filled out the midfield, while Nuno Mendes-Pepe-Hubeng Dias-Juan Cancellu formed the back four. Diogo Costa was in goal.

Portugal’s first goal came in the 22nd minute, when a low, quick cross from the left flank was not cleared by the defense and fell to Silva in the box, who found the back of the net with a precise left-footed shot.

Luck was on Portugal’s side.

In the 28th minute, Thurquié seemed to have escaped the danger after a crucial mistake by Portugal. Center back Samet Akaydin collected the ball and played it to goalkeeper Bayindre. However, Bayindre was far away from the goal and Akaydin’s attempted pass to the goalkeeper went straight into the net.

Ten minutes into the second half, Portugal scored their third goal, effectively sealing the victory. A one-timed ball in from behind was collected by Ronaldo, who broke the offside trap, and played a pass to Bruno Fernandes, who rushed in from the other side and made no mistake.

The game ended 3-0 in favor of Portugal.

Ronaldo played the full time and had 30 touches of the ball. He also added one assist, three chances created, eight touches in the opponent’s box, and two successful dribbles, proving that he is still a force to be reckoned with up front.

At 39 years old, 바카라사이트 추천 Ronaldo also seems to have lost some of the ‘greed’ he has been known for, as he neatly added an assist in the closing stages of the game, passing to Bruno who was in a better position to shoot when he had plenty of options.

“Ronaldo’s seventh assist of the tournament made him the most prolific Euro player of all time,” said The Athletic. Instead of shooting, he opted for a perfect pass.”

Ronaldo’s assist, Portugal’s big win, and Bruno’s goal.

Reports began to surface that something was wrong with the seemingly perfect Portuguese team.

According to Strait News, it was Portuguese daily newspaper Observador that first reported the news. “Bruno and Ronaldo are facing one problem at the tournament: the attacking midfielder is having problems with Ronaldo’s lack of pace,” the publication said.

Portugal coach Roberto Martinez has been playing Ronaldo up front and Bruno as an attacking midfielder in the tournament, with Bruno’s role being to play passes up front. But at 39 years old, Ronaldo’s feet have slowed down and this is causing problems.

“This problem, which often occurred when they were playing together at Manchester United, is now happening in the national team,” the outlet said. “Bernardo Silva is not as explosive and Ronaldo no longer has the pace he once had. Raphael Varane likes to drive the ball forward himself,” he said.

“All of this creates problems for Bruno. He likes to rush forward quickly,” 파워볼실시간 explaining that Bruno and the Portuguese offense are not a good match.

“Nevertheless, Ronaldo provided Bruno with an assist and Portugal took the two games without any problems. They will advance to the next round.”

The Spanish national team is facing a “dilemma of epic proportions,” and some say it doesn’t matter.

“Spanish national team could be breaking strict German laws in their match against Albania, which could lead to unprecedentedly large penalties,” the UK’s Sports Bible reported on Thursday.

The Spanish national team will be looking to win the European Football Association (UEFA) Euro 2024. They thrashed powerhouse Croatia 3-0 in the first round of group play, and followed that up with a 1-0 win over defending champions Italy in the second round on June 21.

All that remains is a third-round match against Albania. 토토사이트 There were reports that there could be trouble in this match. One of the issues was the age of Ramin Yamal.

Yamal is a young player, born in 2007, who plays as a flanker for FC Barcelona. With solid fundamentals and mature individual skills, he torments opposing defenses with his fluid dribbling down the flanks. He also has a powerful shot and plays a big role in the team for his age.

According to reports,

Germany has a law that prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from working after 8 p.m., regardless of nationality. The law is meant to protect young workers, and soccer players are no exception.

“There is an exception that allows athletes to play until 11 p.m., but that exception must include time to shower and complete media obligations,” the media outlet reported, citing Germany’s Bild. If Yamal started and played the full time against Albania, showered, and gave an interview, it would be past 11 p.m. local time, which would be illegal.

As Sports Bible notes, “Yamal started both Euro games. In both games, he was subbed off early. Spain’s qualifying game goes to overtime and Yamal is playing in the wings, 안전놀이터 he’s in a difficult position to comply with the law. If that happens, he could be sanctioned.”

“If the German authorities take action, Spain would have to pay a fine of 30,000 euros ($44.7 million),” it added.

“However, some believe that this is just a ‘threat’ and is unlikely to be carried out. It would be surprising if the German authorities took action against the Spanish national team, as it is not as if Yamal is being victimized without receiving proper welfare.”

Meanwhile, Yamal is reportedly working on his schoolwork during his stay in Germany.

“I don’t know how many hours I study, I have a lot of free time, so I don’t have a set time, like ‘at least two hours today!'” he said.

“If I don’t have anything to do in my room, I’ll do some homework on my tablet, and if Fermin calls me to play games, I’ll go downstairs with them,” he said.

“Do I take tests? No. I just look at the material I get on the tablet, print it out and do the problems. They’ll probably send me my transcript online. I don’t know how far I’ll go in the Euros, but I hope I go far. I don’t want to go back and take classes again.”

“If we make it to the finals, 사설 토토사이트 I’m going to go straight on vacation without going back to school,” adds Yamal.

“We’re ready to defend first and third base. Our shortstop defense is a little disappointing.”

A half-billion shortstops are going through a tough time for change.

Noh Jin-hyuk, 35, of the Lotte Giants, is facing his biggest crisis since his debut. He is batting just 1-for-8 with no home runs, two RBIs, and a .497 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage).

He’s already been sent to the second team twice since the start of the season. He’s more desperate than anyone for a chance to bounce back.

In his time with the NC Dinos, Noh played more at third base than shortstop, but rarely at first base. However, manager Kim Tae-hyung gave Noh Jin-hyuk a mission to prepare for first and third base defense in the second team.

On June 16, he was enrolled in the first team and immediately started at first base against the Suwon KT Wiz. 안전놀이터 추천 It was his first appearance at first base since June 6, 2021, against the Hanwha Eagles, and his first start at first base in 1074 days.

His defense at first base hasn’t been perfect yet.

Even when handling foul flies, he looked awkward against the foul territory fence, which is the opposite side of the field from his usual third base side. In the second inning, he made an error on a ground ball by Chun Sung-ho.

On the 18th, he started at third base against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil. On the 19th, he came in as a pinch-hitter in the top of the seventh inning and played shortstop. So far, he looks more comfortable at shortstop and third base than at first base.

However, Noh will have to compete for a starting spot despite being a free agent worth up to 5 billion won. Earning a spot on the first team is not easy.

The first base position was solidified in May with the hard-hitting Na Seung-yup. Na has been a favorite of manager Kim Tae-hyung since the original camp, and he’s been showing the promise of late.

At shortstop, Lee Hak-joo and Park Seung-wook are a step ahead. Noh Jin-hyeok is already facing criticism for his lack of range and quickness. If Noh wants to return to the shortstop position, he’ll have to show a dominant bat or improve his defense.

The competition at third base is also fierce.

He will have to overcome competition from Son Ho-young, who is returning from injury, and veteran Jung Hoon.

When Noh was originally signed, the expectations were for him to provide the strong leadership and 20-homer power that led the NC to its first championship. With Han Dong-hee having been expunged from the first team again, and Han set to enlist in the military in June, Lotte’s batting lineup will have to rely heavily on Noh or Yoo Kang-nam.

The good news is that he’s not hitting too badly. 카지노사이트 순위 He’s been making his presence felt in every game he’s played, including a double against Doosan.

Can Noh bring a smile to manager Kim Tae-hyung’s face? At 35 years old, the suspicion of an aging curve is inevitable. It’s up to him to prove himself.
