Leeds United could sign Cagliari midfielder Nahitan Nandez in the January transfer window, according to a fresh report which has emerged from Italy.

The Lowdown: Leeds constantly linked with Nandez

The Whites were tipped to sign numerous players during the summer, but Nandez was endlessly linked with a move to Elland Road.

In the end, the 44-time capped Uruguay international, who is valued at £19.8million by Transfermarkt, stayed put at Cagliari.

The Latest: Interest could return in January

According to Calciomercato [via Sport Witness], however, Nandez is ‘ready to return to the market’ in January, as he eyes up a fresh challenge.

It is stated that there are ‘eyes from the Premier League’, which suggests Leeds remain keen on acquiring the signature of the 25-year-old.

The Verdict: Possible Phillips replacement?

Nandez is an experienced international who possesses great quality in midfield – BBC pundit Mina Rzouki hailed him as ‘unstoppable’ and ‘amazing’. It could be that Leeds see him as a future Kalvin Phillips replacement.

While the idea of both playing alongside one another is a mouthwatering prospect, it is going to become increasingly difficult to keep Phillips, with big clubs likely to hover next summer after the ‘Yorkshire Pirlo’ was crowned England’s player of the year.

Nandez could be the perfect fit instead, adding similar levels of energy and bite in the middle of the park, averaging 1.3 tackles per game in the league so far this season.

Newcastle United have now reportedly made an offer to try and sign Carles Perez before the summer transfer window ends.

The Lowdown: Winger needed

The St. James’ Park faithful currently only have three natural wingers in their squad at the moment (Transfermarkt), and one of them is Jacob Murphy, who may be seen more as a right wing-back when the new 2021/22 Premier League season starts.

Thus, if he, Allan Saint-Maximin or Ryan Fraser were to find themselves injured for a sustained period of time, it would leave Steve Bruce pretty short in that area.

The Latest: Perez offer

As per Italian football journalist Rudy Galetti, the North East club have ‘officially stepped forward’ to sign Perez, and have made an offer to AS Roma of around €10m (£8.5m) for his signature.

There are ‘ongoing evaluations’ between both teams as the Tyneside club look to strike a deal before the window closes.

The Verdict: Sign

Given the lack of depth in wide areas, it would be a smart move for Bruce and co to go out and sign Perez, especially if they can get him for a mere £8.5m.

Once praised by Lionel Messi while he was at FC Barcelona back in 2019, the Spaniard will feel as if he has a point to prove, and at just 23 years of age, still has a lot of potential.

His three goals and three assists in 31 games in total over all competitions last term (Transfermarkt) show that he can be deadly at times in front of goal, but is perhaps lacking a little consistency.

Nonetheless, £8.5m could turn out to be a steal for a position that needs filling for the Tyneside club.

Gloucestershire have announced that Carl Greenidge, who was already leaving the county at the end of the season, is quitting with immediate effect

Cricinfo staff21-Jul-2008Gloucestershire have announced that Carl Greenidge, who was already leaving the county at the end of the season, is quitting with immediate effect.”Having talked this through with Carl it was unlikely that he would play much in the next couple of months so it became clear that this was the best course of action for both him and the club,” Tom Richardson, Gloucestershire’s chief executive, said.”We would like to thank him for his contributions to the team over the past four years. Carl is a popular player with both the squad and the off the field team and he will be missed. We wish him every success.”

The ECB has cancelled next summer’s tour by Zimbabwe and suspended all bilateral arrangements with the Zimbabwe board.The news came minutes after Gordon Brown, the prime minister, told the House of Commons that he wanted the tour scrapped. “We want to ensure that Zimbabwe does not tour England next year and we will call for other countries to join us in banning Zimbabwe from the Twenty20 international tournament,” he said.In a short statement, Colin Gibson, the ECB’s head of corporate communications, said: “The ECB deplores the position in Zimbabwe and, like Cricket South Africa, finds this untenable. Therefore all bilateral arrangements are suspended with Zimbabwe Cricket with immediate effect.”The government has written to the ECB today and has made a clear instruction that Zimbabwe’s bilateral tour scheduled under the ICC Future Tours Programme for 2009 should be cancelled.”The ECB, which has been in constructive and extensive dialogue with the department for culture, media and sport for some time, welcome the government’s decision and share the government’s concerns about the deteriorating situation and lack of human rights in Zimbabwe.”Andy Burnham, the culture, media and sport secretary, told the ECB the government had “concluded that it would not be right to allow the proposed tour [to England] by Zimbabwe Cricket in 2009 to take place. The government has previously called on the ICC to reconsider its rules to allow teams to forfeit tours to countries, such as Zimbabwe, where serious human rights abuses are occurring. Unfortunately the ICC has declined to do so. Therefore, the government has decided to make it clear that it will take all necessary steps to prevent players from Zimbabwe from participating in that tour.”The ECB is now looking at identifying a replacement for the tour, which is scheduled to take place before the ICC World Twenty20 next June. “It’s a great relief in many ways,” said England’s one-day captain, Paul Collingwood. “It’s been going on since 2001, since I’ve been playing cricket [for England] and it’s good that it’s been taken out of our hands.”

Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge has confirmed that Norwich City right-back Max Aarons remains on Tottenham Hotspur’s shortlist of potential signings this summer.

Spurs have been attempting to strengthen their squad in this transfer window after the appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo as manager, and Fabio Paratici as Director of Football.

The Italian has been aggressive in the summer transfer window, bringing in goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini on loan from Atalanta with an option to buy, and Bryan Gil from Sevilla in a deal that has seen Erik Lamela move to the Liga club.

Per noted transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Spurs are in talks with Atalanta over another deal, this time for Cristian Romero, with the Italian club demanding €55m (£46.8m) for his signature.

Bologna defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is also said to be a target, a player who can play as both a centre-back and a right-back.

But Bridge has revealed that Norwich’s Aarons remains on the club’s shortlist of potential acquisitions in this transfer window.

Aarons impressed for the Canaries last season as they were promoted from the Championship into the Premier League and is valued at £19.8m by Transfermarkt.

Bridge confirmed: “Aarons is always on their radar, he’s always on their list.”

Keith Lane29-Aug-2002Mfuneko Ngam will make his much awaited return to top class cricket when he turns out for South Africa A against Australia A in a seven match one-day series starting in a day/night match at Potchefstroom on Wednesday 4 September.Ngam who has been plagued by injuries over the past two seasons has been working out in the gymnasium and with Kepler Wessels to get him back to full fitness. Bowling with a lot of pace and variation at the South African training camp earlier this month he showed that he was well on his way to a full recovery. At that stage and according to himself he was close to 98 percent fit and raring to go. All eyes will be on his form and fitness.Neil McKenzie, Gary Kirsten and Steve Elworthy have also been given the chance to prove themselves on home grounds before the series against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and ultimately the World Cup gets under way. All three were left out of the national squad for the ICC Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka.Daryll Cullinan, after his actions and misunderstandings last season, seems to have been left out in the cold and one wonders if his international career has come to an end.Together with the experience, youth has been included in the squad to meet a very powerful Australian outfit. Jacques Rudolph and Martin van Jaarsveld after a successful overseas campaign are joined by Loots Bosman, Robin Peterson, Thami Tsolikilie and Ashwell Prince.The remainder of the team, which can truly be called a South African A team is made up of Andrew Hall, Mornatau Hayward, Justin kemp, Andre Nel, Errol Stewart and David Terbrugge.All these players have the ability to reach their goals of playing in the World Cup. It is now all up to them to impress.The full South African A squad for the first three one-day matches is:Neil McKenzie (capt) Northerns

For the second time in a few days, a side chasing a large total has found itself five wickets down and in trouble before coming through to win at the last gasp. On Saturday at Lord’s it was India who extricated themselves from what appeared to be a losing situation. Now Yorkshire have done the same thing against Essex at Chelmsford in the quarter-final of the Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy to avenge their Benson and Hedges Cup defeat on the same ground at the same stage of that competition in May. This time Yorkshire won by virtue of losing fewer wickets with the scores level.Batting first, Essex reached 283 for nine, which was not quite as many as at one time looked likely. After Nasser Hussain had fallen early, Darren Robinson and Jon Dakin put on 72 for the second wicket before Dakin was run out by a combination of ridiculous running and a piece of brilliance from Michael Vaughan who threw down the wicket on the run from square leg.There were sizable contributions from Andy Flower (75), Ronnie Irani (32) and Aftab Habib (40) and a total in excess of 300 looked likely at that point, but Yorkshire captain Darren Lehmann brought himself into the attack to make life difficult for the batsmen and restrict Essex to their eventual total. They would have envisaged another twenty or thirty runs at the midway stage of their innings.Irani himself struck twice to remove the Yorkshire openers with only 22 on the board. Vaughan and Lehmann were on course to repair the damage after Chris Silverwood had gone for a rapid 37, before Lehmann was bowled by former Yorkshire off-spinner James Middlebrook. When Vaughan followed for 42 and Yorkshire were 155 for five, the game looked to be all over.That was when Gary Fellows joined Anthony McGrath. Batting with great common sense and by taking at least a single off very nearly every ball, they brought down the asking rate down to manageable proportions. Even so, they got to the last over, bowled by Dakin, needing four to win. That became two from two balls, and they got a single off the fifth ball of the over to bring the scores level and to ensure that Yorkshire got into the semi finals because they had only lost five wickets to the nine of Essex when the scores were level off a final dot ball.The other quarter final – Kent against Gloucestershire at Canterbury – was not nearly as tense. Gloucestershire were in trouble from the outset. After Kim Barnett and Craig Spearman had taken the score along to 17, pace bowler Martin Saggers struck three times in an over. He had Spearman caught by Mark Ealham, Ian Harvey caught by James Tredwell second ball and then, two balls later, bowled Tim Hancock.It took a century partnership for the sixth wicket between Barnett and Jack Russell before Gloucestershire even glimpsed a total that might have caused Kent problems. But then Barnett was out for 108, Russell went for 66 and a total of 232 for eight never looked to be quite enough.That view was confirmed when Matthew Fleming and Robert Key put on 72 for the first wicket, with Fleming taking only 42 balls for his 53. Key and James Hockley soon followed and it was left to Andrew Symonds (47) and David Fulton (43 not out) to restore order and put the innings back on course. Symonds was run out and Barnett turned bowler to dismiss Matthew Walker before Paul Nixon used his experience to score an undefeated 39 to steer Kent home with five wickets and more than five overs to spare.
