Foram 139 dias sem fazer o que mais gosta. Nesta terça-feira, na estreia do Fluminense em 2017, Diego Cavalieri volta a defender a meta do clube. O goleiro, substituído por Júlio César na reta final do último Brasileirão, garante estar 100% recuperado da lesão na coxa esquerda, sofrida em 7 de setembro.

— Nunca tinha ocorrido isso na minha carreira, uma lesão tão grave. Foi um processo de aprendizado grande. Agora, já treino sem limitação e sem dor. Pude realizar a pré-temporada desde o início, graças a Deus e ao trabalho de todo o departamento médico e da fisioterapia. Estou 100% e espero fazer uma boa temporada – comentou o camisa 12 do Fluminense, antes de emendar:

-Só quem está de fora sabe o quão difícil é voltar, o quão difícil é ficar excluído. Poder treinar e poder voltar a jogar significa muito. Estou feliz – completou.

Além da recuperação física, Cavalieri começa o ano motivado pela parceria com Abel Braga, que retornou ao clube no fim de 2016. Os dois trabalharam juntos na última passagem do técnico pelas Laranjeiras, entre 2011 e 2013. Foi neste período que o camisa 12 viveu sua melhor fase chegou a Seleção Brasileira.

-É importante ter pessoas com as quais já se teve o convívio. Ele e todos da comissão técnica são do bem, vitoriosos. 2012 ficou para trás, está na história. A cobrança existe. Ele cobra bastante, tenta tirar o máximo e cada jogador. Espero que a passagem seja vitoriosa de novo – afirmou Diego Cavalieri.

– Temos de trabalhar juntos para fazer o Fluminense vitorioso de novo. No ano passado ganhamos a Primeira Liga, mas tivemos altos e baixos. São dois Brasileiros alternando uma parte boa e outra ruim. Precisamos de estabilidade. Espero poder fazer isso o mais rápido, na Primeira Liga e no Carioca.

Com 317 jogos com a camisa do Fluminense, Diego Cavalieri alcançará o posto de terceiro goleiro que mais defendeu o clube em breve. Castilho (697) e Paulo Victor (365) lideram a lista. A terceira posição da lista, no momento, pertence a ninguém menos do que o histórico goleiro Félix, que soma 319 partidas.

Southampton have been linked with a move for Celtic midfielder Ryan Christie recently, and his potential signing could be a repeat of the deal which saw Stuart Armstrong join the Saints in 2018.

According to The Scottish Sun, Southampton are targeting the attacking midfielder ahead of the summer transfer window as they look to add a goalscoring midfielder to their ranks next season. The report from Alan Nixon suggests that Christie’s contract with Celtic is set to expire at the end of 2021, so they are keen to cash in on him this summer instead of potentially losing him for nothing.

Norwich and Burnley are also said to be interested in the 26-year-old, but a move to Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side may appeal to the Scotland international as he could link up with his former clubmate and current international colleague Armstrong.

Since joining the Saints three years ago, the 29-year-old has gone on to make 104 appearances for the south coast club, contributing 14 goals and 11 assists.

The Scottish midfielder was one of the standout performers for Southampton in 2020/21, with Saints legend Terry Paine full of praise for his campaign in the recent end of the season awards, saying: “I’ve been highly impressed with him, in terms of his effort and output, and the fact that he has played in multiple positions. He’s shown that bit of spark, and he’s got that burst of pace that can make a real difference.”

Given that Southampton signed him from Celtic, where he predominantly featured as an attacking midfielder, there are many similarities between Armstrong and Christie.

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-southampton-transfer-rumours-and-news” title=”Read the latest Southampton transfer rumours and news!”]

The 26-year-old Scotland international has contributed an impressive 40 goals and 41 assists in 142 appearances for the Hoops, which included four goals and eight assists in the Premiership last season as he averaged a superb 7.33 rating from WhoScored for his performances.

Celtic legend Chris Sutton was full of praise for the midfielder after his goals helped Scotland qualify for Euro 2020, saying: “You have to admire his attitude as well as his versatility, to be able to play so many positions at such a high level…he gives it absolutely everything. We all know he can produce moments of magic, but he combines it with a ferocious work rate. Christie is a manager’s dream.”

Therefore, it certainly seems as if Christie could be a superb addition to Hasenhuttl’s squad, and if he can have the same impact that Armstrong has made during his time on the south coast, then signing him could be another masterstroke by Southampton CEO Martin Semmens if the Saints pull it off.

According to a West Ham source from Football Insider, the Hammers and GSB are now readying an approach to sign West Bromwich Albion goalkeeping colossus Sam Johnstone. 

The Lowdown: Johnstone linked with Hammers

As West Brom are confirmed to be relegated from the Premier League, Johnstone’s future at the Hawthorns has been the centre of much speculation.

A recent report from the Mirror emphatically claimed that the Baggies are set to sell the 28-year-old amid the financial turmoil which comes with dropping down to the Championship.

ESPN said last week that the Irons are favourites to sign him this summer and are prepared to offer him regular football.

The Latest: GSB readying approach…

Bringing the latest, Football Insider report that West Ham are now readying an approach to sign Johnstone with a West Ham source explaining that GSB have set their sights on him.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/west-ham-rumours-and-gossip-two%2c-electric-boogaloo/” title=”West Ham rumours and gossip two, electric boogaloo” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Indeed, as per this report, the Irons are planning to make enquires into the 6 foot 3 shot stopper – with West Brom’s relegation coming as a boost in their bid to land Johnstone.

The Verdict: Get it done…

Lauded as West Brom’s ‘outstanding’ player by Kevin Phillips (West Brom News), his form over 2020/2021 has also attracted attention from England boss Gareth Southgate.

The Three Lions manager handed Johnstone his first international call up due to his impressive performances at the Hawthorns this season, leaving little wonder why West Ham are now readying a move.

Given current first choice keeper Lukasz Fabianski is now 36-years-old, despite the club recently handing him a one-year extension, West Ham arguably need to find his successor as soon as possible – and Johnstone comes as a really great option with time on his side.

أكد ببتسو موسيماني المدير الفني للنادي الأهلي أن فريقه سيغلق صفحة مباراة صن داونز التي أقيمت اليوم في بطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا من أجل التركيز في المواجهتين المقبلتين أمام المريخ السوداني ومواطنه الهلال.

وخسر الأهلي من صن داونز بهدف وحيد ضمن منافسات الجولة الرابعة من دور المجموعات بدوري الأبطال.

وقال موسيماني في المؤتمر الصحفي بعد المباراة: “سنركز في المباريات المقبلة من أجل الاستمرار في العمل على المنافسة لتحقيق أهداف الفريق”.

وأضاف: “توقعت صعوبة المواجهة التي تعد بمثابة مباراة قبل نهائي أو نهائي بالبطولة القارية، لأن المنافس قوي والأهلي دخل الشوط الأول بشكل جيد ولكن استقبل هدفًا ولم ينجح في التسجيل رغم الفرص التي سنحت له خلال شوطي اللقاء”.

وأوضح أن غياب تقنية الفار عن المباريات يثير الجدل، مشيرًا إلى وجود العديد من الحالات واللقطات التي حدثت في مباراة اليوم وكانت تحتاج إلى الحسم، لكن الجهاز الفني لن يتوقف كثيرًا عند هذه النقطة.

وواصل: “هذا قدر الفريق الكبير ولا يوجد نادٍ في إفريقيا يخوض هذا العدد من المباريات ولكننا لا نسوق الأعذار لتبرير أي نتيجة، وسوف نستمر في العمل خاصة أن نتائج دور المجموعات لا تعتبر المقياس الوحيد في التقييم”.

وأردف مدرب الأهلي: “لا بديل عن الفوز في مباراتي المريخ والهلال، وبالتأكيد لن ننظر للخلف وأتمنى أن نلعب أمام أعداد أكبر من الجماهير مثل فرق تونس والمغرب”.

واختتم: “مستاء جدًا من الأحداث التي سبقت دخول بعثة الأهلي إلى الملعب، وهذه تصرفات غير مسئولة وهدفها معروف، ولقد اضطررت بنفسي إلى النزول من الحافلة لإزالة الحواجز من أجل السماح بدخول الفريق”.

Leicester City strengthened their grip on a place in the top four with an utterly dominant 3-0 victory against West Bromwich Albion at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes turned in an exhilarating first-half showing in the East Midlands, with Jamie Vardy, Jonny Evans and Kelechi Iheanacho getting the goals for the home side.

Whilst he did not manage to get on the scoresheet, Timothy Castagne was arguable the star turn for Brendan Rodgers’ men. Deployed at right-wing back, the Baggies simply could not contain the 13-cap Belgium international.

In all, he produced two tackles, one clearance and one interception according to WhoScored in what was relatively trouble-free evening. However, it was Castagne’s attacking play which was his standout feature.

He was rampant down the right flank, racking up a game-high five key passes throughout the 90 minutes, one more than mercurial midfielder James Maddison. For comparison, the rest of the Leicester team only managed to contribute 10 between them (WhoScored). Meanwhile, no single player in the entire Leicester side could beat the full-back’s 92.2% pass accuracy.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/latest-leicester-city-news%2c-transfer-rumours-and-more-soumare-soyuncu-edouard-jakupovic-lookman” title=”Latest Leicester City news, transfer rumours and more…”]

Castagne’s attacking instincts certainly bore fruit for Leicester in the game. After being released by Youri Tielemans in the first half, he was able to produce a perfect centre for Vardy to smash home. It was the former Atalanta man’s third assist of the season, and his first since he’d notched two in his opening three games of the campaign.

The £21.6m-rated defender was also very unlucky not to get on the scoresheet himself before the break, once again finding acres of room down the right but he could only send his low effort onto the base of the post.

Having praised Castagne for his “brilliant” debut in the reverse fixture at The Hawthorns way back in September, Rodgers will certainly be exhilarated with another fantastic display from his full-back in what was a dominant win at the King Power Stadium.

AND in more news, take a look at which former transfer target Leicester must reignite their interest in…

Former Sheffield United man Keith Gillespie insists that Rhian Brewster is not a flop at Bramall Lane, telling Football FanCast that he feels sorry for the former Liverpool youngster.

The Blades paid £23.5m to sign Brewster in the summer in a club-record deal but he has failed to score a single goal this season.

In 25 appearances in all competitions, the 21-year-old has repeatedly drawn a blank and he has completed the 90 minutes in just two games.

Gillespie played for the club between 2005 and 2009 and he does not believe that the youngster can be held wholly accountable for his own struggles.

Indeed, he has maintained that he simply isn’t being given the service that he requires, with the Blades scoring just 17 goals in 30 games, which is comfortably the lowest number of the 20 clubs in the table.

Indeed, Brewster went on loan to Swansea last season in the Championship and scored 11 goals in 22 games.

He told FFC: “You do feel sorry for him, when you come as a goalscorer, you’re paid to score goals.

“If you don’t do that, you’re deemed a flop. I wouldn’t call him a flop because Sheffield United haven’t performed this season.

“If you’re the marksman, and you’re not getting the service that maybe he was getting at Swansea, playing in the Championship, you’re not going to be scoring goals.”

In an exclusive interview with Football FanCast, Rob Lee, who is a Newcastle United Hall of Famer, claims that giving Dwight Gayle a new three-year contract makes no sense given his performances and the club’s current situation.

Gayle has been handed just three Premier League starts this season, with his latest coming against Tottenham Hotspur which the Magpies drew 2-2, however their former number nine missed two very good chances.

Before the Spurs game, Gayle’s last start came in the 1-1 draw against Aston Villa in which the £40,000 per week striker was deployed as a left-winger, while Ryan Fraser was preferred to play through the middle.

Speaking on the decision to hand Gayle a new deal, which was presumably signed off by the likes of Mike Ashley and Lee Charnley, could mean for the young players coming through and how he doesn’t deserve it, Lee told FFC:

“I’d say it’s confusing from a player’s point of view because you’d look at it and think over the last 18 months he hasn’t played much, and when he has the goals haven’t been there and he’s rewarded with a three-year contract.

“If I was a player coming through I’d be questioning what has he done to earn that contract? I don’t know why they are signing him now because we’re in a relegation battle, and I don’t get why you would be signing players up unless they are planning to play in the Championship next season?”

The last time they were in the Championship, Gayle propelled the Magpies to the Championship title as he finished as the club’s top scorer with 23 goals.

With eight games left Newcastle are just three points and one place above the relegation zone with a tough run of fixtures around the corner.

In one of the biggest transfer roller-coasters in recent memory, Daniel James looked set to join Leeds United, before eventually seeing a move from Swansea collapse at the final hour.

Such was the drama, the deal and all the behind-the-scenes footage of it made it onto the Whites’ documentary released by Amazon.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side had reportedly agreed a loan deal with the Swans in the 2019 January transfer window, with the move being made permanent for around £8.5m if the Whites earned promotion.

However, it all fell apart in the closing stages, and while it seemed like Swansea completely blindsided Leeds by pulling the rug from under the table, it appears the Yorkshire club left their counterparts with no option after looking to weight things heavily in their favour.

According to a report by BBC Sport: “It is understood Leeds wanted to defer the initial loan fee until the summer, while the proposed permanent transfer fee following potential promotion, would have been spread out over as much as three years.

“It is believed Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins felt he was not prepared to accept the terms and brought a halt to discussions.”

Since then, James has, of course, made the move to Premier League level with Manchester United, and while he hasn’t exactly set Old Trafford alight, has begun to feature more prominently under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in recent weeks – he’s started four out of the last five top-flight games, including scoring against Newcastle in a 3-1 win.

Now, CIES value him at the £60m mark, a quite remarkable rise for a player who had a deal gone through with Leeds, the Whites could have signed on a permanent basis for less than six times that.

And as if to underline that point about Leeds missing out on a potentially exciting talent, James struck the winner for Wales in their World Cup qualifier against the Czech Republic on Tuesday night, getting on the end of a Gareth Bale cross.

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/latest-leeds-transfer-rumours-and-news” title=”Latest Leeds transfer rumours and news”]

Given that the Yorkshire club supposedly missed out on James because they were playing extremely stingy with the way the transfer fee would have been broken down, this surely must go down as a shocking blunder from Victor Orta.

And at still only 23, the Welshman has got plenty of time to develop even further and make Leeds regret that 2019 call even more.

Meanwhile, Leeds keen on striking deal for this starlet…

Despite the arrival of Thiago Alcantara last summer, Liverpool are reportedly interested in bolstering their midfield options again, this time with Sheffield United’s Sander Berge.

According to EuroSport, the Reds are contemplating making a move for the Norwegian, with him likely to be available following the Blades’ inevitable relegation to the Championship.

With the Reds seemingly keen to improve their midfield depth following a disastrous 2020/21 title defence, Berge appears to be a great option.

Before signing for Sheffield United in the winter transfer window of 2020, it was clear Berge was already a talent.

He had already earned 20 caps for his country, as well as interesting some of Europe’s biggest clubs. Ahead of his move to Bramall Lane, it was reported that Tottenham Hotspur were interested in signing him.

Jurgen Klopp had even made his admiration of the Norwegian clear in the past labelling him as a “very interesting player” following a meeting between Genk and Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League.

The midfielder seemingly took like a duck to water in the Premier League upon his arrival in Sheffield, scoring a goal and notching an assist during his first half-season, whilst also racking up an impressive 1.6 tackles per game, according to WhoScored.

Whilst Berge hasn’t been so impressive throughout this season, with the Blades embroiled in a relegation battle, he has still been a solid performer in what has been a disastrous campaign for his team.

With the Blades also about to slip down into the second tier, the Reds might be able to negotiate a better fee for the £16.2m-rated ace.

After all, they have struck gold with Championship-bound stars before in the form of Georginio Wijnaldum from Newcastle United and the signing of Hull City’s Andrew Robertson.

Should the Reds choose to make a move then, they would likely pair Berge with Thiago in the Anfield midfield. This would give the former Bayern Munich man, much less defensive responsibility – an attribute that has somewhat hindered him following his summer arrival.

A move for Berge then makes a lot of sense for Liverpool and FSG and is one that they really should pursue despite the prior signing of the Spaniard.
