Manchester City agree transfer fee to sign new record-breaking teenager

Manchester City have agreed a fee to sign a new youngster, and it could be a British record for a player his age.

Man City transfer news

Those at the Etihad Stadium were busy in the summer transfer market following a historic treble-winning campaign under Pep Guardiola last season. A number of incomings and outgoings were completed by the Sky Blues, who have made a relatively positive start to the new campaign.

Although the club are out of the EFL Cup, they currently sit top of the Premier League and have qualified in the Champions League, sitting top of Group G. Attention already seems to be on the January window, though, with the likes of Jamal Musiala, Alessandro Bastoni and Arthur Vermeeren just some of the rumoured senior targets.

However, City are seemingly also looking to bolster their academy ranks, with youngsters St. Patrick's Athletic’s Adam Murphy and Sam Curtis also linked with moves to Manchester. Alongside looking over in Ireland, it appears as if a club close to Manchester also has a talent of interest to City, who have made their move to secure a deal.

According to reliable reporters Sam Lee and Phil Hay of The Athletic, Man City have agreed a fee with Leeds United for attacking midfielder Finley Gorman. They claim that a move isn’t complete as of yet, but the seven-figure fee agreed is believed to be a British record for a player of his age, with Hay adding that City see Gorman as a "generational talent who they had to sign".

Gorman is just 15 years of age but is already making waves at academy level.

The Leeds youngster made his England U16 debut earlier this season when 14 years of age and also holds the record for the youngest player to score twice in a Premier League U18 game – 14 years and 326 days. (The Athletic)

Therefore, you can see why City could be prepared to pay a significant seven-figure sum to secure his services so early into his career, looking to develop him into a first-team star.

We have seen first-hand with the likes of Phil Foden and Rico Lewis, and even Cole Palmer who left the Etihad for Chelsea in a big-money deal over the summer, that City will place trust in their youth prospects, so over time, Gorman could well follow suit in a pathway to first team football in Manchester.

A possible third for India: four quicks, no spin

With injuries and a fast, green pitch on offer, India could be going with no spin for the third time in their history, and second time under Kohli

Sidharth Monga in Perth13-Dec-2018India could, for only the third time in their history, go into a Test match without a specialist spinner. If they do so, in Perth, it could be the second time this year, both under Virat Kohli. The change is partly down to injury to R Ashwin, who was the joint-highest wicket-taker for India in their Adelaide win. However, there is a good chance India might not replace the spinner with a spinner because captain Virat Kohli has assessed the pitch to be hard and bouncy, with a lot of grass to boot.Bhuvneshwar Kumar becomes a frontrunner not just because of the green grass but also because he can bat a bit. Ashwin scored a crucial 25 in Adelaide in partnership with Cheteshwar Pujara to shore India up in the first innings. The choice is between Ravindra Jadeja, Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar.India are having to tinker with their winning combination from Adelaide with Rohit Sharma and Ashwin ruled out with back and abdominal injuries respectively. Prithvi Shaw is yet to recover from the ankle injury he picked up during the warm-up game in Sydney.Jadeja, Umesh and Bhuvneshwar were drafted into the XIII named for the second Test.Hanuma Vihari is the likely like-for-like replacement for the sixth batsman, Rohit. The incumbent openers, KL Rahul and M Vijay, should retain their spots.The green pitch, “the bounciest possible” according to the curator, has everyone talking, and there has to be a temptation to play a fourth quick. However, there might also be grounds for playing a bowler who can bat. Bhuvneshwar becomes the favourite in that case.India had played four fast bowlers plus Hardik Pandya on the brutish Johannesburg surface earlier this year, winning the Test after having lost the series. Kohli was reminded of that Test when he looked at the pitch at the new Perth Stadium, but said he had never played on anything like the Wanderers track. That experience, he said, also gave them belief – “we are excited more than nervous looking at such pitches” – they can double the lead in Perth. Holders of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, they could book its return flight if they do so.Squad: Virat Kohli (capt), M Vijay, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav

Real Madrid player ratings vs Barcelona: Jude Bellingham called game! Ballon d'Or favourite's last-gasp winner settles El Clasico – and La Liga title race – as Lucas Vazquez plays unlikely starring role

The England midfielder bagged his second late winner of the season against the Blaugrana to all-but end the Spanish title race

Jude Bellingham played Clasico hero again, scoring an injury-time winner to cap off yet another scintillating performance against Barcelona. His late goal, coupled with a fine showing from back-up right-back Lucas Vazquez, saw Los Blancos snatch a 3-2 win – and surely wrap up La Liga's title race for good.

Madrid endured a sloppy start, and were made to pay as Andreas Christensen rose at the back post to nod home a header from a teasing corner. They equalised soon after, though, when Vinicius Jr fired home from the penalty spot after Vazquez was fouled by Pau Cubarsi.

Barca thought they had retaken the lead later in the first half, when a Lamine Yamal flick appeared to cross the line, but a VAR check was unable to confirm whether the ball snuck in. The Blaugrana eventually regained the advantage in the second half, however, as Fermin Lopez finished from close range after an Andriy Lunin blunder.

Madrid responded again through Vazquez, who was able to sneak in at the far post to turn Vinicius' angled cross into the net, before Bellingham bagged the winner, rifling a shot into the roof of the net in the 91st minute to send the Madrid crowd into raptures. Title race over.

GOAL rates Real Madrid's players from Santiago Bernabeu…

    Goalkeeper & Defence

    Andriy Lunin (4/10):

    Caught in no man's land when Christensen headed home from a corner. A blunder handed Barca their second, too. Forgettable night after his Champions League heroics in midweek.

    Lucas Vazquez (8/10):

    The Vazquez Clasico? Won the penalty for the Madrid first, went on to score the second, and assisted the third. A standout showing from the deputy right-back.

    Aurelien Tchouameni (7/10):

    Won his tackles and handled Lewandowski effectively. Slow to react on one or two occasions,

    Antonio Rudiger (6/10):

    Imperious at the back when needed, and can't really be faulted for either of the Barca goals.

    Eduardo Camavinga (6/10):

    A return to the position he thrived in last season. Engaged in an enthralling battle with Yamal – with mixed results.

    Midfield

    Toni Kroos (6/10):

    Pinged it around when needed, but was rather vulnerable in transition. Subbed at the right time.

    Federico Valverde (6/10):

    Ran a lot, won his tackles and kept things tidy at the base of midfield. His versatility simply cannot be understated.

    Luka Modric (7/10):

    Controlled things in central areas in what could be his last Clasico. Wonderful on the ball and shrewd defensively, too. It will be weird to watch these fixtures without him.

    Jude Bellingham (9/10):

    Scored a late winner, of course. Full of industry, with some moments of quality thrown in. Second stoppage-time Clasico winner of the season. Ballon d'Or incoming?

  • Getty Images

    Attack

    Rodrygo (7/10):

    Served as a buzzing presence in the final third, even if he lacked quality in key moments. A good performance, all said.

    Vinicius Jr (7/10):

    Tucked his penalty home comfortably and assisted Madrid's second. Some better decision-making could have seen him score one or two more. Always seems to show up for these games.

    Subs & Manager

    Fran Garcia (6/10):

    Late legs at left-back.

    Brahim Diaz (5/10):

    A sloppy few minutes, but played his part in the winner.

    Eder Militao (6/10):

    Put in one emphatic sliding challenge.

    Joselu (N/A):

    No time to make an impact.

    Carlo Ancelotti (8/10):

    Went for a relatively strong line up despite the exhausting effort of the Champions League in midwee. Madrid were poor for long stretches, but turned it on late – and have surely sorted the league for good, now. The double is on.

Lehmann ensures South Australia earn draw

Steve O’Keefe bagged four wickets and Jake Lehmann made a half-century as New South Wales and South Australia played out a tame draw on a very flat surface at the SCG.South Australia began the day 143 runs behind the Blues with only two results really possible. They batted sensibly and conservatively to ensure a loss was taken out of the equation.The Redbacks top five all faced a minimum of 71 balls with no player scoring less than 22. The opening pair put on 47 before O’Keefe claimed his first of the day with Conor McInerney given out caught at bat pad.Jake Weatherald sliced a ball to backward point for 36 before Kelvin Smith chopped on to one that kept low for 22.Callum Ferguson was claimed by a superb catch from Moises Henriques at silly mid-off, scooping a ball one-handed that would have landed on the cut strip.Lehmann held his nerve throughout to reach his second half-century of the match and pass fifty for the fifth time this Sheffield Shield season. He was one of only two players not to fall to O’Keefe with debutant Greg West claiming both Lehmann and Tom Cooper late in the day. The game was called off with South Australia six down and 78 runs ahead.

Journalist: Aston Villa’s £800-p/w “real talent” set for spell on sidelines

Aston Villa have suffered a setback regarding the fitness of one of their best youth talents, who is facing at least two months out of action, according to a reliable journalist.

Omari Kellyman suffers unforunate injury

The Midlands outfit have made an impressive start to the new campaign having won eight, drawn one and lost just three of their opening 12 games, meaning that they find themselves fifth in the Premier League table heading into the international break.

Defeats

Everton (4-0)

Crystal Palace (3-1)

Nottingham Forest (2-0)

Chelsea (1-0)

Brighton and Hove Albion (6-1)

West Ham United (4-1)

Luton Town (3-1)

Fulham (3-1)

Given the positive form and run of results since the beginning of the term, Unai Emery’s side will be confident that they are able to achieve big things in the near future, but things aren’t going as well for the U21s squad following a fresh update. Omari Kellyman has been a regular feature of the club’s academy and has even made two senior appearances since putting pen to paper from Derby in March 2022 (Transfermarkt – Kellyman statistics), but he recently sustained an unfortunate injury.

During last Tuesday’s EFL Trophy 3-2 defeat to Crawley Town at The People's Pension Stadium, England’s youth international was forced off the pitch after 39 minutes and was replaced by Benjamin Tomaso Broggio, and whilst the extent of the attacking midfielder’s issue was unknown at the time, bad news has now come to light.

Kellyman injury return date revealed

Taking to X, The Athletic’s Jacob Tanswell confirmed that Kellyman is set for a spell on the sidelines, with Aston Villa’s 18-year-old not expected to return until the new year: “Omari Kellyman is out for 8-10 weeks with a hamstring injury after coming off in AVFC's U21s game against Crawley Town last week.”

Villa have a "real talent" in Kellyman

Whilst Aston Villa are yet to fully integrate Kellyman into their first-team fold, he’s more than shown what he’s capable of at youth level since the start of his career, therefore, the fact that he won’t be available for selection again anytime soon will come as a huge blow.

Sponsored by Adidas, the left-footed ace has posted 19 contributions (11 goals and eight assists) in 44 outings since first bursting onto the scene, highlighting how prolific he can be in the final third when it comes to finding the back of the net.

Furthermore, Emery’s £800-per-week earner (Aston Villa salaries), is a versatile operator having previously been deployed in six different positions over the pitch already in his young career, including three roles in the centre of the park and the same amount across the frontline.

Kellyman has been described as a “real talent” by journalist Alan Nixon, so the sooner that he returns to action the better, because he deserves to be given a chance under Emery, who will no doubt have been keeping a very close eye on his progress.

Arsenal to seal new contract for "terrific" ace; he’ll gain large wage hike

Arsenal are enjoying a superb start to the Premier League campaign and are now making significant progress off the pitch regarding a new deal at the Emirates Stadium, according to a report.

Arsenal see off Wolverhampton Wanderers…

On Saturday, Arsenal ensured that they would finish the weekend top of the Premier League table regardless of results elsewhere after goals from Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard were enough to ensure Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Matheus Cunha's reply was nothing more than a consolation for the visitors as the hosts ran out 2-1 winners.

Despite a nervy few minutes towards the end of the clash, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta was delighted with his players' attitude to see an important three points over the line, stating via the club's official website:

"I can only praise the players the way they played, competed, they were excellent, we played against a really good side and we generated so much and conceded almost nothing, the scoreline should’ve been very different."

He then added: "We are really unlucky in certain moments, we hit the post twice or three times I think, and at the end, we made an error close to the goal and in the Premier League, you get punished big time and then it’s game on, but I am really, really happy with how we performed again."

Showing resilience in the final stages, Arsenal have the joint-best defensive record in the division at the time of writing, conceding just 11 times over the course of 2023/24.

David Raya and his backline have shown a steely edge when required this term and one of the Gunners' defensive assets now looks set to commit his future to the club, according to a report.

Takehiro Tomiyasu set for pay rise

According to Football Insider, Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is in advanced talks over a new deal at the club, which would see the Japan international receive a significant pay rise from his current £55,000 per week contract.

Bayern Munich are believed to be keen on Tomiyasu; nevertheless, the versatile defender is happy at the Emirates Stadium and is seen as a key component of Arteta's plans due to his adaptability, which enables him to slot into right-back, left-back and central defensive positions comfortably.

Impressing with his propensity to distribute the ball efficiently, Tomiyasu has recorded a passing accuracy of 85.9 % in the Premier League and averaged around one long pass per match across all competitions (Tomiyasu statistics – WhoScored).

Labelled "terrific" by Arsenal boss Arteta, Tomiyasu has once again emerged from the periphery to be an important contributor for the Gunners and will be needed over the course of the season if his current employers have designs on winning their first league title since 2004.

With his current terms set to expire in 2025, it makes perfect sense for Arsenal to renew Tomiyasu's terms to ward off any interest in his services from elsewhere.

A £165m splurge?! Arsenal eye Alexander Isak and Michael Olise in huge summer spree as Gunners prepare to hand Mikel Arteta a transfer war chest

Arsenal to spend big this summerGunners eye Newcastle striker IsakPalace winger Olise also a targetWHAT HAPPENED?

According to The Guardian, Newcastle striker Isak is one of the Gunners' 'primary targets' but he would cost £100m ($124m), and Palace winger Olise has a £65m ($80.8m) price tag. The former has scored 21 goals in all competitions this season whereas the latter has found the net six times and bagged three assists in an injury-hit campaign. The Mirror adds that the north London side are also keeping tabs on Sporting Lisbon forward Viktor Gyokeres and RB Leipzig front man Benjamin Sesko, while Wolves wideman Pedro Neto and Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams are also on their radar.

These reports come after Arsenal were knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich at the quarter-final stage on Wednesday and their 2-0 loss at home to Aston Villa last weekend put Manchester City in the driving seat to win the Premier League. The narrative after the loss, in some quarters, is that Mikel Arteta's side are running out of steam, so strengthening the Gunners' squad could be a wise move in their bid to lift silverware.

DID YOU KNOW?

Arsenal reportedly heavily scouted Isak when he was at Real Sociedad, but Newcastle captured his signature in 2022 for an initial £63 million. The Guardian add that Juventus' Dusan Vlahovic is another alternative but they have cooled their interest in Brentford's Ivan Toney.
