يعمل نادي ريال مدريد على دراسة عدة خيارات لتعزيز خط الدفاع خلال الموسم المقبل، في ظل متابعة دقيقة لتقارير فنية وتحليلية عن عدة لاعبين.

ويدرس ريال مدريد إمكانية التعاقد مع مدافع جديد للفريق الأول لكرة القدم، إذا توفر الهدف المناسب في سوق الانتقالات الصيفية.

ووفقًا لصحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية، يركز ريال مدريد على تدعيم دفاعه، حيث إن الإدارة الرياضية حريصة على استكشاف المواهب التي يمكن أن تضيف قوة إضافية للفريق.

ويتصدر ديان هويسين قائمة اهتمامات ريال مدريد، حيث يعتبر خيارًا واعدًا لتعزيز الخط الخلفي، المدافع الشاب، الذي يلعب مع بورنموث في الدوري الإنجليزي بعد انتقاله من يوفنتوس، أثبت جدارته ليصبح أحد أبرز الأسماء المرشحة لدعم دفاع الملكي.

كما يتابع ريال مدريد لاعب أياكس، يوريل هاتو، الذي يتمتع بمرونة تكتيكية تتيح له اللعب في مركز قلب الدفاع أو الظهير الأيسر والذي أصبح عنصرًا أساسيًا في تشكيل منتخب هولندا بقيادة رونالد كومان.

ورغم وجود خيارات أخرى مثل ويليام ساليبا، إبراهيما كوناتي وكاستيلو لوكيبا، إلا أن هذه الصفقات تبدو أكثر تعقيدًا بسبب ارتفاع قيمتها السوقية، حيث قد تتجاوز 70 مليون يورو، وهو مبلغ يراه ريال مدريد مبالغًا فيه لتعزيز الدفاع حاليًا.

ريال مدريد سيواصل مراقبة أداء هؤلاء المدافعين خلال الفترة القادمة، خاصة في المباريات الدولية، لتحديد الأنسب من بينهم في نهاية الموسم، حيث ستتضح الصورة بشكل أكبر بشأن تحركات الملكي في سوق الانتقالات الصيفية المقبلة.

Leeds United will believe that this is the season they finally return to the Premier League, having only lost one of their opening 11 league games so far in the hustle and bustle of the Championship.

Leeds’ 2-1 win over Watford last time out was somewhat fortuitous, in the fact that Hornets goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann gifted the Whites their two strikes on the night, but the victory should have been convincing anyway away from any errors from the opposition shot-stopper, considering Daniel Farke’s men registered a resounding 24 efforts in total.

If they do leap back up to the top flight, the West Yorkshire outfit will be aware that their squad will need strengthening with players cut out for the demands of the tricky division, with a hope always harboured that they can stumble upon their next Raphinha.

The Brazilian was a superstar donning Leeds white, but he has turned into an absolute machine at Barcelona in recent time, with a devastating hat-trick in the Champions League standing out.

Raphinha since leaving Leeds

Leeds fans probably still can’t fathom that they actually managed to have the slick South American on their books for a brief period of time, with Raphinha helping himself to an impressive 17 goals and 12 assists for the Whites, before the Camp Nou beckoned.

Now, the 27-year-old is a man-possessed for the La Liga giants, with a crazy nine goals and eight assists tallied up in all competitions this season from only 13 games, topped off with three goals coming his way versus Bayern Munich on Europe’s biggest stage last time out.

The Barca captain’s first strike of the memorable night would come after just 60 seconds, as Hansi Flick’s men terrorised the visitors from Germany all match courtesy of their new star man’s unbelievable performance.

Even with the Brazilian winger reaching dizzy new heights for Barca, there is a former Leeds face who is actually worth more than the tricky attacker is now, having also been a firm fan’s favourite when situated in West Yorkshire once upon a time.

The player who is worth more than Raphinha

Amazingly, despite the former Leeds number ten soaring to these great new places in Spain, his value is actually lesser compared next to Ben White’s, who also has Marcelo Bielsa to thank – much like Raphinha – for turning him into the top performer he is today.

White was an everpresent member of the Bielsa team that won automatic promotion up to the Premier League during the 2019/20 season, which would begin his sudden rise to stardom, having only been worth in and around the £3.6m mark when shining for the promotion-chasing side.

He did have plaudits at the time who could sense he would go on to set the world alight away from the EFL, with football talent scout Jacek Kulig describing the versatile defender as a “warrior” when donning a Leeds strip in 2020.

Sourced by Football Transfers

Just a year and a bit on from his formative loan switch to Elland Road, Arsenal would fork out an unbelievable £50m fee to land the promising defender, a fee at the time that might have been met with some incredulous responses.

Yet, White has more than backed up that hefty price tag for Mikel Arteta’s men over a number of seasons now, having amassed 142 games at the Emirates Stadium with an impressive six goals and ten assists next to his name.

That means his price tag hasn’t ever really taken a significant hit, with his current value – according to Football Transfers – coming in at £44m, which is remarkably higher than an on-fire Raphinha’s.

That is also a sharp £40m increase from his Leeds days, as the Gunners number four is now a household name in England.

Raphinha is worth a lesser £32m according to the site, but that will no doubt go up and up over the coming season if he keeps up his sensational performances for Flick’s side.

Farke will hope, even if Leeds don’t break the bank when potentially moving up to the Premier League, that the likes of Largie Ramazani can be the club’s next hero in the mould of the South American, having already fired home three goals in the second tier.

Leeds will also want to uncover their next White over time, with the possibility of a reunion between the Arsenal defender and his ex-loan employers happening next season if Farke’s men do finally return to the big time.

Craig Overton toils on luckless day in the field for Somerset

ECB Reporters' Network29-Apr-2021

Nick Gubbins and Robbie White led a solid Middlesex batting display on the opening day of the LV= County Championship match with Somerset at the Cooper Associates County Ground.After losing the toss, the visitors progressed to 308 for 6 by the close, Gubbins contributing 75, White 70 not out and Max Holden 49.Craig Overton was the pick of the Somerset attack, bowling with little luck for figures of 2 for 54 from 23 overs.On a sunny morning, Lewis Gregory struck first blow for the hosts when Sam Robson, on 6, played across a full delivery and edged a sharp catch to wicketkeeper Steve Davies.From then on, the morning session belonged to Middlesex, but not without moments of good fortune, particularly for Holden.On 24, he was caught off a Gregory no-ball and on 28 edged the same bowler low to second slip, the ball flying through Overton’s legs for four.Holden survived narrowly again on 33 when he got a thin top edge to an attempted pull shot off Overton and the leaping Davies could only get the finger ends of his gloves to the ball.When Overton tried to bounce him out, Holden responded with two fine pulls for boundaries. But the bowler took revenge with the final delivery before the interval, which yielded an outside edge and another Davies catch.It was 82 for 2 at lunch and when the afternoon began with Gubbins and Peter Handscomb progressing confidently, it looked like taking a mistake from one of them to bring a wicket.That happened with the total on 129. Handscomb, on 17, steered a ball from Jack Leach to mid-on and set off for a single, only to be beaten by substitute fielder Roelof van der Merwe’s direct hit at the bowler’s end.Gubbins had been dropped on 41 by Overton at second slip off Josh Davey and it looked like proving a costly error as the left-hander moved to an otherwise assured half-century.He had faced 138 balls and struck 12 fours when Overton pouched him to give Gregory a second wicket.At 170 for 4, Middlesex had to rebuild. White and John Simpson did so sensibly to add 38 before the tea interval.Simpson announced more positive intentions in the first over of the evening session, lofting Leach over long-on for six.He had contributed 33 to a stand of 69 with White when edging a back-foot shot off the left-arm seam of Tom Lammonby to James Hildreth at first slip.White went to fifty with a flashing cut for four off Lammonby, his eighth boundary, having faced 114 balls.Martin Andersson weighed in with a brisk 38 from 35 balls and, with White still unbeaten, Middlesex could feel satisfied with their day’s work.

Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna will be slightly concerned about the attacking players at his disposal come the opening Premier League game of the season against Liverpool, knowing that George Hirst could now be out of action alongside an injury-stricken Nathan Broadhead.

The beloved Tractor Boys boss revealed after a recent friendly game versus 1899 TSG Hoffenheim that main striker up top George Hirst will need to see some specialists owing to an injury concern sustained this pre-season.

Therefore, more attacking reinforcements could now be needed, as the Suffolk side push on to try and land this long-sought-after target to really strengthen their options.

Ipswich bidding for "ridiculous" attacker

As per Ipswich-based website TWTD last weekend, McKenna and Co are very much still chasing Sammie Szmodics' elusive signature, with a bid in the region of £10m recently fielded by the newly promoted outfit.

It has also been revealed, via TWTD, that yet another bid being turned down by the Riversiders has led to showdown talks between the former Peterborough United man and the powers that be at Ewood Park taking place, with Szmodics clamouring for an exit route out of the Lancashire club, and up to the bright lights of the Premier League.

What Szmodics could offer Ipswich

Szmodics' arrival into the building would no doubt quell any possible selection headaches McKenna is having to put up with involving who starts up top against the Reds, with the explosive 28-year-old fresh off a golden boot winning season in the Championship.

Labelled as "ridiculous" last campaign for his free-flowing exploits in front of goal by football journalist Josh Bunting, Szmodics could come into his own even more jumping up a division, playing for his new plucky underdogs as the potential main source of goals.

Although he wasn't outwardly deployed as a centre-forward last campaign, Szmodics' insane goal haul of 33 strikes in all competitions means he won't look out of place whatsoever in the Ipswich XI leading the line if he is thrown into this position soon.

Indeed, the Republic of Ireland international has bagged eight strikes from the centre-forward spot when wearing a Riversiders strip.

Looking at the table above, Hirst could find minutes hard to come by in the division above even when he's back to full sharpness, with Szmodics blowing his numbers out of the water last season in the Championship.

Missing a colossal 17 big chances in the second tier also proves that the former Posh attacker could potentially become even more clinical, and with the added talent of Conor Chaplin and Omari Hutchinson surrounding him going forward at Portman Road, he could well be the goalscoring hero Ipswich need to attempt to survive in the elite league.

A breakaway strike against Leicester City on the final day of last season ensured John Eustace's men staved off the second-tier drop zone by the skin of their teeth, and Szmodics will hope he has more memorable strikes in his back pocket if he moves to Suffolk.

Capable of also providing competition to the likes of Chaplin behind the lone striker, this feels like a buy Ipswich should prioritise, even if it will dent the bank in the short term.
