Glasgow Rangers will return to the domestic fold this weekend high on confidence following a sparkling start to life under Philippe Clement.

They face Aberdeen in the Premiership in what is a dress rehearsal for the League Cup final next month and after the Dons suffered a recent 6-0 defeat to Celtic, they will be hurting.

This could play into the Light Blues' favour however, as they will be able to inflict more misery onto the north-east side and gain the upper hand heading into the cup final.

With 12 games to come before the winter break, Clement will need to be smart and utilise his squad to its full potential, rotating players wherever possible to conserve energy.

If the Gers can make it through to the other side having claimed a trophy, secured progression in the Europa League and remained in touching distance with Celtic, the Belgian will endear himself further to the Ibrox faithful.

After this hectic spell, he can start to concentrate on the January transfer window and there is no doubt he will have his eye on a signing or two in order to rejuvenate a weary squad.

Rangers transfer news – Ben Godfrey

With the window fast approaching, the rumour mill begins to circle, and the Gers have been linked with a few names already.

Most notably Godfrey, who is finding playing time hard to come by this season, making only two appearances for the senior side.

According to 90min at the start of November, the Light Blues were showing interest in the centre-back, although they face stiff competition from both Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United in their pursuit of the Everton defender.

Clement could have received a boost regarding a potential move, however, as the 25-year-old was recently demoted to the U21 side for the match against Athletic Bilbao, and it fuels rumours that he looks set to leave the Goodison Park outfit in the winter window.

With the Toffees suffering a ten point deduction in the Premier League and potential financial difficulties, this could play right into the hands of Rangers, who may be able to land Godfrey for a cut-price deal.

The Ibrox side already have five centre-backs in the senior squad, yet this could all change in the next few weeks.

Leon Balogun has just a few months left on his current contract and he will surely say his goodbyes come May. This could suggest Godfrey would be the perfect heir to the Nigerian.

Leon Balogun’s season in numbers

The 35-year-old spent two years in Glasgow between 2020 and 2022, winning the Premiership title and a Scottish Cup along with reaching a European final, yet he was released at the end of his second season.

Michael Beale decided to bring him back prior to the current campaign and his calming presence has allowed him to thrive whenever he has played.

Before Clement arrived, Balogun had made just two starts across all competitions, but the former Club Brugge boss appears to trust him more than Beale.

He isn’t part of the European squad, yet the defender has started three of Clement’s five domestic matches and he has impressed in the top flight.

In his most recent appearance against Livingston, Balogun was a colossus at the back, winning 13 out of his 15 total duels along with making four clearances and three interceptions as the club eased to a 2-0 victory.

The Nigerian is approaching the end of his career, and it looks like he will be in Glasgow for just 12 months during his current stint, hence Clement eyeing up a defender or two.

Godfrey may not be at his best right now, but he has proven Premier League and international experience and, with the right manager, he could regain his form.

Ben Godfrey’s career statistics

Although he made his professional debut with York City, Godfrey really came to prominence during his spell at Norwich City between 2016 and 2020.

During that time, he made 78 appearances for the Canaries and helped them secure promotion to the Premier League by winning the 2018/19 Championship title.

The Englishman played all but eight league matches for Norwich in the top flight and this led to attention from Everton, who signed him for a fee in the region of £25m in 2020.

During his debut campaign with the Toffees, Godfrey was impressive, ranking in the top six across the squad for accurate passes per game, while ranking in the top five for clearances and interceptions per game, suggesting that he fitted into the side with relative ease.

Former professional boxer Tony Bellew even lavished praise on the player, lauding him as “immense” and a “revelation” for his performances in the Premier League.

Gareth Southgate even gave him his England debut at the end of his maiden season in Liverpool, as Godfrey played against Austria and Romania prior to Euro 2020, although he didn’t make the eventual tournament squad.

His career has been in a downward spiral since then. Since the beginning of the 2021/22 season, Godfrey has made just 44 appearances for Everton in all competitions.

His two appearances this term combined with the fact he turned out for the youth side recently indicate that Sean Dyche doesn’t have much trust in him and his future clearly lies away from Merseyside.

Davies ditched for "immense" titan in Rangers' dream XI after January

Clement could delve into the transfer market for a signing or two in January

Nov 22, 2023

This is good news for Rangers, who could make their swoop in the coming weeks. Clement will be desperate to land a player or two during the January transfer window and Godfrey could be an ideal signing.

Low on confidence and lacking in minutes, the Belgian could revive him following a dismal start to the 2023/24 season and bring him back to the player who gained two caps for England just over two years ago.

With Balogun not expected to have his contract renewed, there will be a space for another defender come next summer, yet the Light Blues can get ahead of the curve by launching a move for the 6 foot gem in the coming weeks.

Nobody would have anticipated before this season kicked off the start Tottenham would have to their campaign, straight off the blocks at a rapid pace under new manager Ange Postecoglou in the Premier League.

Unbeaten in their first ten top-flight encounters with eight wins and two draws – which notably includes a dramatic 2-1 win over Liverpool in front of the rejuvenated Spurs home masses – Tottenham are flying high even with the backdrop of Harry Kane departing, a whole host of new players joining the building and an unproven boss in English football taking the reins.

The appointment of the Australian head coach has proven to be a master-stroke by the Spurs hierarchy, a universally liked figure amongst the north London faithful for the exciting brand of football he's been able to implement in such a short space of time but also for his mannerisms in press conferences and media work that show he isn't arrogant or disillusioned.

He could have to make a big decision however very soon, a call that wouldn't have him in the good books of this specific Lilywhites player.

Postecoglou could be forced into dropping Richarlison from his first-team plans completely if the 26-year-old's below-par performances continue, the Brazilian noticeably underperforming away at Crystal Palace recently which could have cost his side on another day.

Richarlison's performance vs Crystal Palace

The former Everton man looked shaky throughout his 64-minute spell on the Selhurst Park pitch, Spurs taking the lead a matter of minutes after his manager hauled him off the pitch – Heung-min Son saving the day again with an effort from point-blank range to extend his side's unbeaten run, Tottenham winning 2-1.

Tottenham's number nine was largely ineffective in forward areas against the Eagles, attempting one shot all night which trailed wide of its intended target per Sofascore.

Richarlison could have cost his side with the number of times he lost possession unnecessarily, losing the ball a grand total of 20 times per Sofascore – the 26-year-old off his game throughout, lackadaisical when his teammates needed him to be switched on and focused.

Before being substituted off, the once-feared Everton attacker kept needlessly giving away fouls out of frustration for his current employers – giving away two fouls, according to Sofascore, in a horror show for the Brazilian winger that saw Football.London writer Rob Guest hand him a 5/10 match rating.

Brennan Johnson would be Richarlison's replacement and the ex-Nottingham Forest man was instantly in the think of the action, helping Son convert home with the assist.

Richarlison, therefore, could be sweating about his immediate first-team future off the back of this anonymous display in south London with the Brazilian's other displays for Spurs this season not exactly cementing a starting spot.

Richarlison's numbers this season

The South American forward has only scored two times for Spurs so far this season, with Tottenham defender Cristian Romero tied with the attacker in the goalscoring charts.

Netting versus Sheffield United back in September, alongside helping himself to a further goal in the EFL Cup versus Fulham before Postecoglou's side crashed out on penalties, Richarlison is currently on a barren goalscoring spell of five straight games in the league.

This current form is a far cry away from the heights the 26-year-old consistently achieved during his four-season stay at Goodison Park, scoring ten times in his final season for the Toffees before upping and leaving for the English capital.

Postecoglou has a huge decision to make surrounding Richarlison's future in a Spurs shirt, with the likely outcome pointing in the direction of the ex-Celtic manager benching his number nine in favour of fresher options.

Xabi Alonso's decision to remain at Bayer Leverkusen prompted a range of reaction on social media, with some Liverpool fans left dejected at the news.

• Alonso announces he will stay at Leverkusen
• News comes as blow to Liverpool and Bayern
• Fans react as search for Klopp successor continues

• WHAT HAPPENED?

  Reports emerged on Thursday evening that Alonso was unlikely to figure on the shortlist to replace the outgoing Jurgen Klopp, with Bayern Munich's hopes of landing the Spaniard dashed on Friday when news broke that Europe's hottest managerial property had decided to stay put in Leverkusen for another season.

  Absorbing the news that leaves both clubs no nearer to filling their managerial vacancies, fans took to social media to air their feelings.

• WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

  "Big for the Bundesliga. Real [Madrid] for him next," reacted German account @nside_pro_footb.

  On the influential Liverpool account, The Anfield Wrap, fans still reeling from Jurgen Klopp's announcement reacted.

  "I think the fans love Alonso more than Alonso loves our club. We need to move on," said @jayellcee7791.

  "Depressed no matter who we get," bemoaned @styz0r.

  "I was all in on Xabi to be honest, none of those other names inspire much confidence in me," posted @TheGraySon72.

  Others were more upbeat such as @PhilBlundell, who said: "The thing with managers is that there’s always other ones. If someone doesn’t want to manage Liverpool, which is the case here, there is absolutely no point wasting a second on it."

  "Xabi's loss," said a defiant @paulmcmasterLFC. "Whoever we get is inheriting a superb group of footballers."

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The news came as something of a surprise with a decision expected much closer to the season's end as his all-conquering side conclude a season that sees them unbeaten in a remarkable 49 games across all competitions. As the fans' replies show, the revelation is likely to lead many to presume that Alonso is now primed to become the successor to Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid when the Italian calls time on his second spell in the Spanish capital.

  WHAT NEXT FOR XABI ALONSO?

  Alonso will hope that this puts an end to all the gossip and allows his team to focus on their run-in. Leverkusen host Hoffenheim on Saturday afternoon as they close in on what would be an historic first Bundesliga title.

Batsman David Miller has made himself unavailable to play first-class cricket in South Africa, a decision that means he has effectively given up on representing the country in Test cricket.The 29-year-old Miller, who remains available for all forms of limited-overs cricket for South Africa and the Dolphins, said that giving up red-ball cricket was “a tough decision”, but he wanted to concentrate on maximising his chances of international cricket with the white ball, especially with the 2019 World Cup a few months away.”It was a tough decision to make,” Miller said. “I have always loved playing red-ball cricket but I have decided that I would, in future, like to concentrate on white-ball cricket to make sure that I am in a position to give myself the best opportunity to play for the Proteas in the format that I love. This is an important decision for me, especially with the World Cup looming next year. I will also be available to play for the Dolphins in all limited-overs competitions and will give it my all to help them win trophies this season.”Miller has played 109 ODIs and 61 T20Is for South Africa, but hasn’t played any Test cricket. In 63 first-class matches, he has scored 3342 runs at an average of 36.32, with six centuries.A year ago, Miller had made a clear statement of his ambition to play Test cricket when he opted out of the 2017 CPL to play for South Africa A against India A in August 2017. He made scores of 78, 27, 13 and 18 but he was not considered for the Test squad to play against Bangladesh.Cricket South Africa chief executive Thabang Moroe said it was disappointing to lose Miller as a potential Test cricketer, but hoped he would reconsider his decision in the future.”At the age of 29, he still has many years of good cricket left in him in all formats but at the same time, we have to understand that he wants to throw his full weight into helping the Proteas to win the ICC World Cup,” Moroe said. “He has time on his hands to resume his first-class career in due course and I sincerely hope that we have not seen the last of him in red-ball cricket where he has shown his undeniable talents in the past.”Miller has struggled for form in ODIs this year, with only one half-century in nine matches in 2018, and a total of 192 runs at just 21.33. His strike-rate of 89.71 is also much lower than his career figure of 101.21. Overall, Miller has scored 2588 runs in ODIs at an average of 36.97.

Newcastle United are believed to be in the race to sign a highly rated prospect from Dortmund's fabled youth ranks, and he's been called "one of the best" at beating defenders one on one.

Newcastle's FFP situation…

The Magpies have enjoyed a highly impressive few weeks of action, having recovered from an iffy start to the season to show their mettle once again. Granted, two points were dropped late in the day at West Ham last weekend, but the 2-2 draw was still a perfectly respectable result, and the 4-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League is still fresh in the memory of many Newcastle supporters, in what was a legendary night at St James' Park.

What is clear is that Eddie Howe has gradually built a fantastic squad since taking charge, adding quality and depth in all positions, which helped his side finish fourth in the Premier League last season. That's not to say that new faces don't need to be added once the coming transfer window opens, with an opportunity to sign players arising in January.

Financial Fair Play (FFP) restrictions however mean that Newcastle can't simply spend whatever they like – Lewis Hall's deal was even intentionally structured to prevent further stress on their finances – and while it is clear that they are in a strong financial position, they will need to be shrewd in the markets once again in 2024.

Newcastle linked with Dortmund's Jamie Bynoe-Gittens

That shrewd outlook appears to be targeting up and coming players with potential to grow huge sell-on values, as according to Bild [via Metro], delivering a transfer update on Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, the Magpies are one of the clubs who are interested in signing Borussia Dortmund's latest hot prospect.

Chelsea are also mentioned as potential suitors for the 18-year-old, but it is Arsenal who are the overriding favourites to snap him up, according to the report. Bynoe-Gittens only signed a new deal with Dortmund last week, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2028, so it isn't going to be easy to prise him away.

It is exciting to see Newcastle be in the conversation for the teenage winger, especially from a club so renowned for producing top talents, and it shows how far they have come in recent years, in terms of being in the picture to sign such players against the likes of the Gunners and Blues.

Dortmund teammate Karim Adeyemi has spoken highly of Bynoe-Gittens' playstyle in the past, describing him as "one of the best" when it comes to taking on defenders in isolation: "He has no fear. For me, he is one of the best players one-against-one I have ever seen, to be honest. He will be a really good player."

This illustrates what an enormous talent Bynoe-Gittens is, and the hope is that he will enjoy a similar trajectory to another fellow English player who shone at Dortmund in Jude Bellingham.

It seems clear that Arsenal are leading the way to sign the former Manchester City youth team ace – who has won one cap for England's Under-21s to date – but the lure of St James' is clear these days, with that stunning aforementioned win over PSG showing what a top side Newcastle are and what a fantastic following they have.

وجه رئيس نادي برشلونة، خوان لابورتا، رسالة تفاؤل لجماهير العملاق الكتالوني بشأن التحضيرات للموسم الجديد خاصة الصفقات المحتملة.

وارتبط اسم برشلونة خلال الفترة الماضية بإمكانية التعاقد مع جناح أتلتيك بلباو، نيكو ويليامز، الذي يمتلك في عقده شرطًا جزائيًا بقيمة 58 مليون يورو.

ولكن كانت هناك مخاوف من عدم قدرة برشلونة على الدفع للصفقات الجديدة بسبب قانون اللعب المالي النظيف، لكن تصريحات خافيير تيباس رئيس رابطة الدوري الإسباني قبل أيام كانت مطمئنة.

وقال تيباس أن برشلونة قد وفق أوضاعه المالية وخفض كتلة الرواتب من 600 إلى 450 مليون يورو وبالتالي أصبح قادرًا على التعاقد مع اللاعبين.

واليوم، تحدث لابورتا عن الأمر خلال حواره القصير مع إذاعة “راديو كتالونيا”، وقال: “هناك أخبار جيدة على المستوى الرياضي، سنعلن عنها قريبًا”.

وتابع: “سنتمكن قريبًا من الإعلان عن الصفقات، سنعود إلى الوضع الاقتصادي الطبيعي”.

وعن صفقة نيكو ويليامز: “بالطبع، أحبه كثيرًا، لكن علينا أن نترك ديكو (المدير الرياضي) يعمل، لكن برشلونة اليوم قادرًا على دفع قيمة اللاعب”.

وانتقل لابورتا للحديث عن المدرب الجديد فليك: “سيتم تقديمه قبل السفر إلى أمريكا أمام الصحافة والجماهير، لكنه شخص هادئ ويركز على عمله، يتعلم اللغة، يجيد التحدث بالإنجليزية ويعمل على تحدث الإسبانية والكتالونية”.

وعن الإصابات التي تضرب صفوف برشلونة: “الأمر سيء خاصة بالنسبة للثنائي بيدري ورونالد أراوخو، الأول سيغيب لمدة 4 إلى 5 أسابيع والثاني لا نعرف بعد ولكن علينا أن نجهز للموسم بأفضل شكل ممكن”.

حقق ريال مدريد لقب دوري أبطال أوروبا بعد الفوز بهدفين نظيفين على نظيره بوروسيا دورتموند في المباراة التي جمعت بينهما على ملعب ويمبلي.

ريال مدريد دخل المباراة مرشحًا فوق العادة لما يمتلكه من ألقاب 14 لبطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا لكن الشوط الأول كان ألمانيًا.

بوروسيا دورتموند أهدر أكثر من هدف، من خلال انفراد تام لـ كريم أديمي بعد المرور من تيبو كورتوا، لكنه سدد خارج المرمى بعدما طالت الكرة في الدقيقة 21، وكانت تسديدة براندت سبقتها بدقائق.

القائم الأيمن تعاطف مع تيبو كورتوا بعد انفراد تام آخر لـ فولكروج الذي سدد بعيدًا عن البلجيكي لكن القائم كان له رأي آخر.

في الدقيقة 28 أنقذ كورتوا ريال مدريد من هدف آخر كاد أن يسجله كريم أديمي، ليواصل الحظ إعطاء ظهره للفريق الأصفر.

في الربع ساعة الأخيرة، شهدت المباراة تدخلات عنيفة وحصل فينيسيوس على كارت أصفر وكذلك شلوتربيك للاعتراض.

صاروخية من سابيتزر في الدقيقة 42، وجدت تألقًا كبيرًا من الحارس تيبو كورتوا، ليبعدها إلى ركنية.

تعددت البطاقات الصفراء بعد حصول سابيتزر على البطاقة الثانية لـ لاعبي بوروسيبا دورتموند بسبب اعتراضه على الحكم الذي احتسب مخالفة عليه لصالح ميندي، ليطلق الحكم صافرة نهاية الشوط الأول.

أكثر من 7 ركنيات لم يستغلها بوروسيا دورتموند في الشوط الأول، وفي الشوط الثاني، كانت الغلبة لـ ريال مدريد، ليعاقب الأصفر على إهدار الفرص.

تسديدة من توني كروس ثم رأسية من كارفاخال، في الدقائق الخمس الأولى، ليسيطر ريال مدريد على الكرة بشكل مُطلق أمام بوروسيا دورتموند.

في الدقيقة 63، كاد أن يلدغ دورتموند ريال مدريد، بعد عرضية ممتازة من كريم أديمي ولكن فولكروج رأسيته وجدت تألقًا جديدًا من كورتوا.

في الدقيقة 72، خرج كريم أديمي ليدخل بدلًا منه ماركو ريوس، وربما كانت هذه بداية السقوط، بعد انعدام الحلول الهجومية بخروج أديمي.

بعد دقيقتين، تمكن داني كارفاخال من تسجيل الهدف الأول بعد عرضية ممتازة من توني كروس، ليستغل الركنية الثامنة التي يحصل عليها الفريق الملكي، ويوجه داني الكرة في مرمى كوبيل.

كاد بيلينجهام أن يسجل الهدف الثاني بعد دقيقتين، ولكن شلوتربيك تدخل ببراعة ليمنعه من التسجيل في مرمى كوبيل.

أجرى ترزيتش تغييراته بخروج براندت وتشان ودخول الثنائي هالير ومالين، ومع الاندفاع الهجومي، أخطأ ماتسين في الدقيقة 82، ليسجل فينيسيوس جونيور من تمريرة بيلينجهام ويقتل المباراة.

خرج كروس ودخل مودريتش، مع تغييرات أخرى لـ ريال مدريد، جميعها كانت بعد قتل اللقاء، واستمرت الدقائق كعد تنازلي فقط لوصول ريال مدريد على منصات التتويج للمرة الخامسة عشر.

ومع اطلاق الحكم صافرة النهاية، أصبح ريال مدريد صاحب 15 لقب دوري أبطال أوروبا، ليواصل المجد، ويؤكد أن شخصية البطل قادرة على صنع كل شيء. أهداف مباراة ريال مدريد وبوروسيا دورتموند اليوم في دوري أبطال أوروبا
