He will play three Championship games for Gloucestershire, replacing the injured Naseem Shah
Matt Roller22-Apr-2022Mohammad Amir will make a surprise return to first-class cricket after signing a short-term deal to play for Gloucestershire in the County Championship.Amir has not played a first-class match since August 2019, when he played a Championship game for Essex a month after his retirement from Test cricket.He will play three Championship games for Gloucestershire, replacing Naseem Shah who has been ruled out until the start of the T20 Blast due to a shoulder injury. He arrived in the UK on Thursday and has linked up with the squad in Manchester.”The County Championship is an amazing competition and I can’t wait to get going with Gloucestershire,” Amir said. “I love playing in English conditions and I’m feeling really good, so I hope I can perform well for the team.”Steve Snell, Gloucestershire’s performance director, said: “We are delighted to have signed a bowler of Amir’s calibre. We will sadly be without Naseem for a few weeks due to injury and while we help him get back to full fitness, Amir will provide us with quality and international experience in our seam attack for what is a strong first-division competition.”Amir fits the bill perfectly for what we need and we’re confident he will be a great addition to the squad for those three matches. He has indicated his hunger and desire to make pivotal contributions during his time with us and we look forward to making him feel welcome in Bristol with Gloucestershire.”
Opener’s second hundred in as many games prevents Yorkshire for taking full control
ECB Reporters Network28-Apr-2022A second century in as many games for Daniel Bell-Drummond helped Kent recover from early strife to claim the opening day’s honours in their LV= Insurance County Championship fixture against Yorkshire at Headingley.This Division One clash features two counties dealing with injury issues, but it was the visitors who will be much the happier after being invited to bat and slipping to 20 for 3 following a blistering new-ball spell from Haris Rauf.Kent closed on 270 for 6 from 81 overs, of which Bell-Drummond scored 109. Fifteen overs were lost through two stoppages for bad light.The 28-year-old shared a partnership of 133 for the fourth wicket either side of lunch with Jordan Cox (68) after Pakistan overseas quick Rauf’s early triple-strike included England opener Zak Crawley lbw for 4.This was Yorkshire’s first day of home cricket in 2022 after a winter of off-field disquiet, and it ended with Ollie Robinson a late departure for 58.It did not yield the inroads Yorkshire would have hoped for after encouraging away performances in victory over Gloucestershire and a draw against Northamptonshire.But, even though approximately 2,000 supporters had to brave the chill of an overcast late April day, it would have been a relief to see the likes of homegrown favourites Steve Patterson and Jordan Thompson bound into the crease.The last time home debutant Rauf played on this ground, in a T20 international last year, he was smashed for six high over the newly named Howard Stand (named after the late Keith Howard, founder of the Emerald Group) by Liam Livingstone.This was a much better experience as, bowling from the same end, he had Ben Compton (3) caught behind, Crawley lbw playing to leg and Jack Leaning lbw stuck on the crease for a two-ball duck against his former side. He finished with 3 for 52 from 11 overs.Stand-in captain Leaning’s departure in his first appearance of the season after a hamstring injury left Kent 20 for three inside 10 overs. But then came the Bell-Drummond led revival.Kent came into this match on the back of a draw and two defeats, although Bell-Drummond scored a 149 in the second of those, against Hampshire last week.They are without Jackson Bird (shoulder) and Darren Stevens (suspected hamstring), though have included South African overseas all-rounder George Linde for the first time following a groin injury.Yorkshire are missing regular new ball pair Matthew Fisher (back) and Ben Coad (groin) amongst other absentees.After Rauf’s pulsating five-over opening burst, the hosts just weren’t able to build pressure for long enough in conditions which provided less assistance than would have been expected before play.Yorkshire delivered too many boundary balls under the floodlights, as Bell-Drummond hit 17 fours in 194 balls.Either side of being dropped on 50 – by Adam Lyth at second slip off Patterson – two balls into the afternoon, Bell-Drummond drove, cut, whipped and flicked with aplomb.He reached his fifty off 73 balls late in the morning and his 13th first-class century off 172 just before tea.By that time, his fourth-wicket partnership with Cox had been broken by the off-spin of Dom Bess, who trapped the latter lbw (153 for 4).Play was halted by bad light for almost an hour from 4.20pm, but on the resumption Bell-Drummond was ousted – caught at mid-on by Rauf off the seam of young all-rounder Matthew Revis as the score fell to 227 for 5 in the 72nd over.Revis, awarded his second-team cap before play, broke a 74-run stand with Robinson, who fifty came up shortly afterwards off 94 balls.He was then trapped lbw by the frugal Patterson almost immediately before play was halted for a second time at 6.15pm.
West Ham United might well need some January reinforcements to bolster their survival hopes in the Premier League this season. It has been a poor campaign so far for Julen Lopetegui’s side, and they sit 14th in the Premier League so far, having racked up just 12 points.
Already, the transfer rumours have begun to fly around for exactly who the Hammers could recruit over the January transfer window. It certainly seems as though Lopetegui will need to add depth to his squad as they continue to fight relegation.
With that in mind, here is a look at West Ham’s dream XI if the East Londoners manage to sign some of their rumoured January targets.
1 GK – Lukas Fabianski
Lukasz Fabianki for West Ham
At 39 years of age, It seemed as though Lukas Fabianski’s Hammers career was over. The Polish goalkeeper was second choice for much of the past two seasons to French World Cup winner Alphonse Areola.
However, he has managed to displace the former Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain shot-stopper in the side this season. He has started the last three Premier League games, keeping a clean sheet last time out, and seems set to continue in that role after the international break.
2 RB – Aaron Wan-Bissaka
One of several summer signings for the Hammers, Aaron Wan-Bissaka has impressed for the Hammers at the start of his career in East London. The 26-year-old has played 11 times for the club this season, following his £15m move from Manchester United.
Football presenter Dougie Critchley described him as the Hammers’ “best summer signing”, which is impressive given he was one of nine new additions. It seems more than likely that he will keep his place in the side.
3 CB – Jean-Clair Todibo
Jean-Clair Todibo at West Ham
Another new addition last summer was Jean-Clair Todibo, who made a loan move from French side OGC Nice, which can become permanent. The defender has impressed since moving to London, making eight Premier League appearances so far.
His ball-playing skills make him a fantastic option at the heart of the Hammers’ defence. Todibo averages a pass completion rate of 89.4% as per FBref this season, better than any of his teammates who average at least one full 90 minute game.
4 CB – Max Kilman
Max Kilman
Like his centre-back partner in this proposed team, Max Kilman was another summer signing, joining from Wolverhampton Wanderers. He has been a pivotal player at the heart of the defence at the London Stadium this season.
The 27-year-old has completed 90 minutes in every single game this term and has been colossal at the back. His 64 clearances and 16 blocks in the top flight are more than any of his new teammates so far.
5 LB – Jayden Oosterwolde
The first proposed new signing in this dream West Ham XI is Jayden Oosterwolde. The East Londoners have been linked with the Fenerbahce defender as per Turkish reports via Sport Witness, and he could cost a fee of around £16.7m.
The 23-year-old Dutchman, who can also play at centre-back, could replace first-choice left-back Emerson. This term, the defender has played eight times, although is currently sidelined with an injury. He was compared to versatile French defender Lucas Hernandez by football talent scout Jacek Kulig.
For just £16.7m, this could be a bargain for the Hammers as they look to sure things up at the back, having conceded 19 goals this term.
6 CM – Guido Rodriguez
West Ham midfielder Guido Rodriguez
Experienced World Cup winner Guido Rodriguez is the first midfielder in this Hammers lineup. He has featured in all 11 of their top-flight games this term, providing defensive nous and allowing others the licence to get forwards.
He certainly does his job well. Rodriguez has made 36 ball recoveries and 35 tackles and interceptions this term. In the latter metric, he is bettered by just one player in the Hammers squad. He seems a crucial player under Lopetegui now.
7 CM – Andy Diouf
The second proposed addition to the Hammers in January is midfielder Andy Diouf. The France under-23 international currently plays at RC Lens and has performed to a high level. GiveMeSport suggest that he is a target for West Ham, as well as London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace.
The 21-year-old has been superb in the midfield for the French outfit this season. He has played 11 times, with a goal and an assist to his name. He is a wonderful ball-carrier, and averages 4.18 progressive carries per game, ranking him in the top 2% of midfielders in Europe’s big five leagues, as per FBref.
Described as a “menace” by football scout Antonio Mango, Diouf could be a superb addition for the Hammers in midfield.
8 RW – Jarrod Bowen
West Ham’s captain has impressed this season, in what has been a tough campaign so far. The England international has four goals and two assists to his name, having played 13 games in all competitions.
Perhaps his best performance came against newly-promoted Ipswich Town. That day. Bowen scored and assisted to lead his side to a crucial 4-1 victory. He will no doubt be hoping to rediscover his best form soon as they battle relegation.
9 AM – Lucas Paqueta
West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta
Hammers fans might count themselves lucky that talisman Lucas Paqueta is still playing at the London Stadium. He was a target for Manchester City last summer, although an off-field issue meant he stayed at the club.
The Brazil international has featured in all 11 Premier League games, with two goals to his name. He has not really been at his best but has still created 12 chances in the Premier League, bettered only by Bowen.
10 LW – Mohammed Kudus
Mohammed Kudus celebrates for West Ham
The third member of West Ham’s dynamic front three is Mohammed Kudus. Although his best position might be further infield, the attacker would surely be given a license by Lopetegui to drift around the pitch.
He has played eight times this term, scoring twice. Unsurprisingly, the Ghanaian forward has shown off the flair he possesses when dribbling. His 28 successful take-ons are more than any other West Ham player this term.
A member of Ange Postecoglou’s squad has been contacted by an interested suitor ahead of the looming January transfer window, as they look to tempt him with a mid-season move away from Tottenham.
Postecoglou facing backlash amid inconsistent Spurs form
The general theme of Spurs’ start to this season has been wild inconsistency.
Tottenham chiefs view £50m ex-Real Madrid gem as a "key" potential signing
The Lilywhites think he could be a crucial addition if they land him.
ByEmilio Galantini Nov 14, 2024
While Tottenham chiefs are showing faith in Postecoglou, amid some doubts among the fan base over whether he is the right man for the helm, it is imperative that the Australian inspires a winning run right after the international break.
This last fortnight has seen the north Londoners beat both Man City and Aston Villa in statement displays, but they followed those excellent results up with humbling defeats against Galatasaray in the Europa League and struggling Ipswich Town – who secured their first win of the season against Postecoglou’s side.

Crystal Palace also scraped their only victory of the Premier League campaign so far at the expense of Tottenham, and this trend needs to seriously change if Postecoglou is to challenge for major silverware this season.
“What I’ve been told is, is that he’s so desperate not to be seen as sort of an Australian caricature,” commentator Sam Matterface told talkSPORT (via The Boot Room).
“He doesn’t want to be Jesse Marsch 2, he doesn’t want people to throw the sort of Australian Ted Lasso thing at him.
“So he tries to sort of not be the playful, happy character and tries to be serious, that’s what I’ve been told. It doesn’t come across very well. And Mark Scott of Match of the Day has had two rather difficult exchanges with him in a couple of weeks. I know Crook and I have both had interesting exchanges with him as well over the last year.”
If their form continues in this manner, there is every reason to believe players could start to ponder jumping ship.
However, one player who may be looking for a way out as soon as possible is left-back Sergio Reguilon. The left-back, on a reported £120,000-per-week (MEN), is out of Postecoglou’s plans and has been unable to contribute on the field.
Fenerbache open talks with Reguilon after José Mourinho demand
According to Turkish news outlet Sabah, former Spurs boss José Mourinho, who signed the Spaniard during his tenure at N17, has asked Fenerbache chiefs to sign a new left-back for his system.
In response, Fenerbahce have made contact with Reguilon personally, as they make their way through a list of targets for the role.
Manchester United's loan defender Sergio Reguilon.
There are other reports which claim Reguilon could terminate his Spurs contract and leave months before it is set to expire in the summer, and if this were to happen, then the Turkish side could have a free deal on the cards. In any case, the 27-year-old’s future appears far away from N17.
Despite such an emphatic start to the campaign, Celtic could yet be dealt a major blow after contract talks with one of Brendan Rodgers’ star men reportedly reached a stalemate.
Celtic contract news
Top of the Scottish Premiership, Celtic have so far enjoyed the perfect week after following up their thrashing of title rivals Aberdeen in the Scottish League Cup with an even more impressive result against RB Leipzig in the Champions League. Shocking the Bundesliga side, Nicolas Kuhn was the star of the show, scoring twice in Celtic’s 3-1 victory.
Making unexpected progress among Europe’s elite, Celtic are one of several sides benefitting from the new Champions League format in pursuit of causing further upsets throughout the current campaign.
Even as that progress goes on, however, it may be all good news for Rodgers and his side with the January transfer window on the horizon. After losing Matt O’Riley in the summer, the last thing that the Scottish champions will want is for another star player to leave. Yet, reports suggest they may have little choice.

According to the Daily Mail, Celtic are now at risk of losing Greg Taylor with contract talks reaching a stalemate. The left-back’s current deal is set to expire at the end of the season and he will be free to commence negotiations over a summer switch when January arrives.
A mainstay under Rodgers, Taylor’s exit would be a major blow, especially after the Celtic boss admitted that a new contract for the full-back was among the Bhoys’ priorities at the start of the campaign.
Rodgers wants "fantastic" Taylor stay
The Celtic boss told reporters, as relayed by Sky Sports: “I really hope that we can get something organised on that. He’s a fantastic player for us. How he makes that position work how we want it to look, he’s first class.
“He knows we really want him to stay and hopefully between his representatives and the club we can organise that because he is a player that I really rate. I have seen him grow here from the outside looking in and obviously having the chance to work with him now for over a season. I really like everything about Greg. I love his personality, I love his spirit, I love how he plays the game of course.
“He plays the game like a midfield player coming from that outside position in, so he really makes it difficult for the opposition. Technically strong. For what you’d say small in stature he competes in his duels, he wins headers.
“He does a lot of really, really good things in the game which I really like and really appreciate. So I really hope that we can tie him down. In this period now he would be a real priority for us to try and get something sorted.”
A couple of months down the line, however, and that new deal is far from sorted. In fact, it seems as though things are worryingly heading in the opposite direction and towards the exit door next summer.

Everton’s academy is arguably one of the most underrated in Premier League history. The Toffees have produced some exceptional players, although none are better than Wayne Rooney, among the greatest players in Premier League history and a member of the competition’s ‘Hall of Fame’.
Over two spells at Goodison Park, Rooney scored 28 goals and recorded eight assists, sandwiched between years of success at Manchester United where he is their all-time top goalscorer.
Aside from Rooney, the Everton academy has produced the likes of club legend Leon Osman and Ross Barkley, now playing for Aston Villa. However, arguably one of their best academy products in recent seasons, Anthony Gordon, has an indifferent relationship with Toffees fans.
Gordon’s Everton career
Once the man whom Everton fans were hoping to take them back amongst the big boys of the Premier League, Gordon’s career at Goodison Park ended in a toxic mess, the culmination of which was a penalty miss for new club Newcastle United in their recent Premier League clash.
His record for the Toffees does not necessarily reflect just how deadly of a player the winger is. He played 78 times for the club, making his debut in 2017/18 and becoming an established player in 2019/20. In that time, the Liverpool-born attacker scored seven goals and grabbed eight assists.
Former Everton winger Anthony Gordon
In the end, the winger wanted a change of scenery. After a move to Chelsea broke down in the summer of 2022, he got a big move to St James’ Park for £40m the following January, in 2023, after handing in a transfer request. It was a messy exit and did not go down well with Everton fans, hence their apparent delight in his spot-kick miss.
The 23-year-old has gone on to become a key player for the Magpies. He has scored 15 goals and has 11 assists to his name in 73 games, including 21 goal involvements in the Premier League last term. He has had low points, like the penalty miss last weekend, and high points, including playing in the Champions League.
Now, coming through the academy at Finch Farm might be an even more exciting player for the Toffees, who fans will hope can become even better than Gordon.
In The Pipeline
Football FanCast's In the Pipeline series aims to uncover the very best youth players in world football.
Everton’s next great academy graduate
The player in question here is 17-year-old midfielder Harrison Armstrong. The youngster has impressed for the Toffees academy over the past few seasons and has been rewarded with first-team opportunities by manager Sean Dyche. Like Gordon, and so many of those before him, Armstrong is Merseyside born and bred.
So far, the young central midfielder has represented the Toffees in three games, coming off the bench twice, against Tottenham in the Premier League and Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup, and starting against Southampton in the same competition. He also made appearances during pre-season.
It is fair to say he impressed in those games, working hard in the centre of the park against the Saints from the start. He was busy, getting 24 touches of the ball and completing 80% of his passes that day, as per Sofascore.

Those impressive performances from the youngster at both academy and first-team level have been recognised by the England set-up. He was named in Liam Bramley’s under-18s squad ahead of the international break for a small tournament in Marbella.
Everton’s former head of recruitment Martin Waldron was full of praise for the 17-year-old midfielder. He explained that Armstrong is “a born winner” and that he has “bags of ability, desire and passion”. That is something that will be music to Everton fans’ ears.
Armstrong certainly seems like a player Toffees fans should be excited about. He is a talented midfielder who is receiving recognition at first team level and for England youth sides, with a clear desire to improve and become the best.
He could well be the next elite talent out of Everton’s underrated academy.

Mitchell Marsh’s recent success and the possible return of Steven Smith have added to the crush at the top of the order
Andrew McGlashan02-Aug-2021The game of musical chairs in Australia’s T20I batting line-up will continue, with Matthew Wade set to play in the middle order during the series in Bangladesh, with that now being his likely position at the World Cup in October.It is a change of plans from what was spoken about ahead of the West Indies series last month, when Wade said he expected to bat in the top three alongside Aaron Finch and David Warner. However, Mitchell Marsh’s success in the West Indies, where he made 219 runs batting at No. 3, and the potential return of Steven Smith from injury have added to the crush for top-order spots, meaning that Wade, who will lead the side in the absence of Finch, will probably have to find a berth lower down.Related

“It’s something I’m looking forward to,” he said. “I’ve been up the top for three years and feel like any time called upon I can do a good job up there, so to go back into the middle order is a challenge I’m excited to do. It doesn’t faze me too much, whatever needs to be done.”Then once the World Cup comes around, whether than means I go back up the top or stay in the middle order we aren’t 100% sure. The way Mitch has come out and played at No. 3 that’s certainly another option for us at the top. He could open as well if we needed him to. So we are probably rolling through a few different scenarios of where guys can fit in the best team come the World Cup.”Wade batted at No. 6 in the last match against West Indies – he made 26 off 18 balls – and when he returned to the T20I side last year in South Africa, he was in the middle order. Most of his innings in the latest stage of his career have been opening, although in total he has played 19 of his 34 T20I innings at No. 4 or lower.Across his full T20I career, he has a strike rate of 117.40 batting at No. 4 and below, compared to 137.61 overall and 144.57 when batting in the top three. But he believes he now has the game to adapt to the middle order as Australia continue to search for their finishers.”Thankfully I’ve played for Australia in the middle order a lot, especially in one-day cricket and even T20 have probably played 50-50 [of my innings],” he said. “It’s probably more a chance to get there now and get some more work in, I haven’t done it for three years so it certainly has its challenges compared to opening the batting but it’s a good opportunity to do it.”I’ll find a way to make it work and win some games” – Matthew Wade•NurPhoto via Getty Images
“I’ll find a way to make it work and win some games. Things I probably didn’t have seven or eight years ago in my game I feel like I’ve added – laps and things like that – which are really important towards the back end. Feel like I have a few more tricks than I had a few years ago and the advantage in these five games is that I can get in there and see what works and what doesn’t.”Filling the middle-order positions has been a long-running challenge for Australia in T20Is. Dan Christian and Ashton Turner, who were late additions to this squad after players withdrew, have been selected on the back of their roles in the BBL and will likely get more opportunity in Bangladesh.Wade believes Australia have to find a solution that works for the players they have and that while every country “would like an Andre Russell” that will not be the case.”We’ve got guys who aren’t here who can come in and do a really good job. We all know what Maxi [Glenn Maxwell] can do towards the end of an innings,” he said. “No secret that every country would like an Andre Russell, not everyone has one. We are going to it differently to the way West Indies do it, we don’t have as much power probably as what they have got but we’ll find someone to do a good job come the World Cup.”
Tottenham Hotspur secured their second win of the Premier League season on Saturday with a 3-1 win over Brentford, having gone behind inside the opening minute. Summer signing Dominic Solanke scored his first goal for the club, tapping in from close range after rebounding James Maddison’s miss, and Ange Postecoglou will be hoping for plenty more moments like that from the English centre-forward.
He is the first summer signing to score for Spurs in the Premier League this season and bolstering the manager’s attacking options looks set to be on the agenda for January.
In fact, Daniel Levy has already started to identify targets to pursue in the next transfer window, to potentially boost the attacking ranks ahead of the second half of the season, with Richarlison’s injury issues made worse by new signing Wilson Odobert also picking up a problem last week.
Latest Tottenham transfer news
According to CaughtOffside, Spurs are one of a number of clubs interested in a swoop to sign Galatasaray winger Baris Yilmaz after the turn of the year. The report claims that fellow Premier League sides Brighton & Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest are also keen on the Turkey international. This shows that the Lilywhites will face competition for his services if they decide to make a move for him in 2025.
It states that the Super Lig champions are willing to allow the forward – who can also play up front – to move on for a fee of around €30m (£25m) and that there could be movement on his situation in the ‘not too distant’ future. CaughtOffside adds that Spurs have been closely following Yilmaz’s progress with the Turkish giants, but does not reveal whether or not Levy is prepared to make an official offer for his services in January.
Yilmaz has already earned comparisons to Gareth Bale
Speaking to GS Gazette, as quoted by the Daily Express, Kayserispor manager Ilker Puren compared the 24-year-old star to former Tottenham star Gareth Bale. Puren stated that they are similar in terms of their strength and speed with the ball at their feet, as they can “sprint three or four meters after eliminating the opponent with the ball”.
Bale graced the flanks for Spurs for a number of years, scoring 71 goals and providing 53 assists in 237 games across two spells, as a scorer and a creator of goals. Yilmaz, like the retired Welsh superstar, is a right winger who can provide his team with goals and assists at an impressive rate, based on his form since the start of last season.

As you can see in the table above, the 24-year-old ace has enjoyed a terrific start to the current campaign, with four goals and three ‘big chances’ created for his teammates in six appearances. This comes after the Turkish wizard produced six goals and created ten ‘big chances’ in 28 starts in the Super Lig during the 2023/24 campaign for Galatasaray.
If Levy wants to bolster Postecoglou’s options in the wide areas ahead of the second half of the season, Yilmaz could be an exciting option to pursue, with his record in Turkey and the comparisons to Bale.
