Everton preparing £62m bid for Scott McTominay to replace first-team star

Everton are now preparing a club-record bid for Napoli star Scott McTominay, amid doubts over the future of a first-team star.

The Toffees’ interest in signing a new midfielder perhaps also stems from the fact Idrissa Gueye is now in the twilight years of his career at 36-years-old, with the 120-time Senegal international’s contract set to expire in the summer, although there is an option to extend it by an extra year.

Based on recent performances, it may be worth triggering the extension, with the central midfielder scoring the opening goal in the 2-0 victory against Fulham last time out, while also winning three duels and making three clearances.

Not only is Gueye’s future up in the air, but there is also doubt over whether James Garner will remain at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with both Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest making contact over a deal for the 24-year-old, who has impressed at times this season.

Everton preparing club-record bid for Scott McTominay

According to a report from Spain, McTominay could be a game-changing signing for Everton in midfield, should Garner leave or lose his place in the starting XI, and the Merseyside club are now preparing a club-record bid in the region of €70m (£62m).

David Moyes is an admirer of the Napoli star, who could be the manager’s new Marouane Fellaini, given his physicality and ability to arrive into the opposition penalty box from deeper areas, and the former Manchester United man may be tempted by an enticing offer to return to the Premier League.

With the Toffees looking to bring in an experienced, versatile midfielder, the Scotland international fits the bill, and there are signs he could be a fantastic addition to Moyes’ squad, having been lauded as “sensational” by broadcaster David Tanner in the past.

Not only that, but the 28-year-old is also vastly experienced in the Premier League, having made 255 appearances for Man United, and he has since really kicked on since moving to the Serie A, chipping in with 12 goals and six assists during Napoli’s title-winning 2024-25 campaign.

Everton should look to secure the futures of Gueye and Garner regardless, but McTominay could be a real statement signing, as they look to start competing for the European places again, rather than looking over their shoulders at the wrong end of the Premier League table.

لاعب ريال مدريد السابق: ألونسو يريد فعل شيء لم يحدث في التاريخ.. وفينيسيوس غير سعيد

تحدث جازيكا ميندييتا، أسطورة منتخب إسبانيا ولاعب ريال مدريد السابق، عن مستوى الفريق الحالي تحت قيادة تشابي ألونسو، وتذبذب النتائج والأداء الفترة الأخيرة.

وكانت آخر مباراة لريال مدريد أمام جيرونا انتهت بالتعادل الإيجابي 1/1، في مواجهة ظهر فيها رجال ألونسو بأداء باهت للغاية وعجز هجومي كبير.

ومن المقرر أن يواجه الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي ريال مدريد نظيره أتلتيك بلباو مساء اليوم، الأربعاء، على ملعب “سان ماميس” في الجولة الـ 19 المقدمة من بطولة الدوري الإسباني.

وقال ميندييتا، خلال حوار أجراه مع صحيفة “آس” الإسبانية: “قد يبدو الأمر غريبًا بعض الشيء، لكن ريال مدريد لا يزال في مرحلة انتقالية مع تشابي ألونسو، ومع ذلك، نتفهم ونعلم أن هذا الانتقال غير موجود في ريال مدريد، لكنها مرحلة نشهد فيها انهيارًا في الفريق حتى كان ذلك مع كارلو أنشيلوتي”.

وأضاف: “سنرى مهاجمين ولاعبي وسط، ربما مع جود بيلينجهام أو إبراهيم دياز أو أي لاعب آخر في هذا المركز، ستكون هناك دائمًا فترات صعود وهبوط ولن يكون الفريق متماسكًا طوال التسعين دقيقة”.

واستطرد: “من الواضح أننا نعرف كيف كان تشابي يلعب مع باير ليفركوزن وما يريد فعله في ريال مدريد يتطلب وقتًا وأعتقد أن هذا هو وضعه الحالي”.

وأردف: “أعتقد أن الخسارة أمام أتلتيكو مدريد كانت صعبة للغاية عليهم، كان عليهم اللعب وتحقيق نتائج إيجابية بدلًا من تطبيق أسلوب لعب معين والآن يريدون فرض أسلوب لعبهم مجددًا”.

وتابع: “شخصيًا، لا أعتقد أننا سنرى الفريق الذي يريده تشابي ألونسو، لم نرَه في ريال مدريد مع أي مدرب، ما أعنيه هو بناءً على ما رأيناه في ليفركوزن، هو أنه يريد فريقًا متماسكًا يضغط عاليًا ويدافع بتماسك”.

وأوضح: “لم نشاهد شيئًا كهذا في ريال مدريد من قبل، لذلك لا أعتقد أننا سنراه قريبًا، هذا سيتركنا مع فينيسيوس جونيور، كيليان مبابي، ورودريجو إذا لعب هناك، أو إذا كان بيلينجهام”.

واسترسل: “سيتعرض الفريق دائمًا للانهيار في مرحلة ما من المباريات، لكن بفضل جودتهم وكفاءتهم، يتمكنون من الفوز بها، سيواصلون على نفس النحو حتى تتغير الأمور في المستقبل”.

وأتم عن تجديد عقد فينيسيوس: “كنت أقرأ وأرى أن فينيسيوس غير سعيد وأنه لا توجد مفاوضات أخرى لتجديد عقده، بالطبع هكذا تكون عملية التفاوض لكن يبدو واضحًا أن الأمور لا تسير بسلاسة رغم أن النتائج قادمة وهم أيضًا في صدارة ترتيب الدوري الإسباني”.

Chelsea now readying hijack to sign £44m 'Gabriel & Saliba hybrid'

They aren’t the finished project, but Chelsea have built an impressive squad over the last few years.

The likes of Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernández, Cole Palmer, Estevao and Reece James, for example, would get into most Premier League teams.

However, if there is one weakness in the side, it’s probably at centre-back, as without Levi Colwill and Wesley Fofana, the options at Enzo Maresca’s disposal aren’t all that inspiring.

Fortunately, Chelsea have been linked with an impressive defender who has been compared to William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães.

Chelsea target defensive reinforcements

The transfer is over a month away, but Chelsea are already being linked with some incredible players from the Premier League and beyond.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

For example, the Blues have been among a handful of sides credited with significant interest in Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton, and have even been linked with Juventus wonderkid Kenan Yıldız.

However, while both players would most certainly improve Maresca’s squad, they wouldn’t improve the centre-back depth, unlike Ousmane Diomande.

Yes, according to a recent report from TEAMtalk, Chelsea have reignited their interest in the up-and-coming Sporting CP star.

In fact, the report goes further, revealing that the West Londoners are planning to hijack Crystal Palace’s move for the Ivorian international.

However, to do that, the Pensioners would have to match or even exceed the Eagles’ supposed bid of around £44m.

It could therefore be a complicated and somewhat costly transfer to get over the line, but given Diomande’s ability, potential, and the fact he’s been compared to Saliba and Gabriel, it’s one Chelsea should pursue.

How Diomande compares to Saliba and Gabriel

Now, while Chelsea fans might not want to admit it, and understandably so, Saliba and Gabriel have been the best centre-back pairing in the Premier League for at least a season now.

Therefore, it’s a huge claim to suggest another defender is like a combination of the two, a claim respected analyst Ben Mattinson made when he described Diomande as “a hybrid between Gabriel and Saliba” just last year.

Now, when it comes to the Brazilian, the similarities are rather difficult to miss, as while he’s just an inch shorter, the Ivorian international is still a titan of a player at 6 foot 3.

This stature allows the 21-year-old “monster,” in the words of Mattinson, to overpower opposition attackers and put in challenges that a more slight centre-back would find difficult.

How about the Frenchman, then? What makes the Abidjan-born star similar to him?

Well, despite his impressive physicality, the former Midtjylland gem is no slouch on the ball and has a passing range most defenders could only dream of.

Moreover, according to FBref, the Arsenal star was statistically the most similar centre-back to the Sporting man across last season’s Champions League.

These metrics included non-penalty expected goals plus assists, progressive carries, passing accuracy, expected assists, live passes, interceptions, and more, all per 90.

Ultimately, while he is still young and untested in the top leagues, Diomande looks like an exceptional talent, and given his similarities to Gabriel and Saliba, Chelsea should be doing all they can to sign him.

Gill: India won't be 'looking for any easy options' against West Indies

On managing workloads of Jasprit Bumrah & Co: “We’re going to take a call on a match-to-match basis,” Shubman Gill says

ESPNcricinfo staff01-Oct-20252:50

‘Nothing is pre-decided’ – Gill on Bumrah’s workload

It’s “very important” for India to do well in the two-Test series against West Indies after they were blanked 3-0 in their previous home Test series by New Zealand, Shubman Gill said on the eve of the first Test in Ahmedabad.”We are looking to play some hard, grinding cricket. Over the past few years, if you see the Test matches, they haven’t got to five days. So what we are looking to do is play some good, hard cricket,” Gill said at a press conference. “All the Test matches that we played in England went pretty deep [all five Tests went into the fifth day]. And I think what you can expect from us is good, hard, grinding cricket and we won’t be looking for any easy options.”And I think we have the skills to dominate in any kind of situation and the kind of talent we have got in the team, we can turn around from any situation, so that’s what we will be looking to play.”Related

India's selection headache: Two slots, multiple contenders

With patience and old-school grit, Chanderpaul gets ready

In recent years, when India have hosted teams for Test cricket, spin-friendly pitches have been prepared more often than not. Seeing how well India competed in the 2-2 series in England earlier this year, what sort of pitch should we expect?”I can’t speak about the conversations before I came, but we would be looking to play on wickets that offer [something] to both the batsmen and to the bowlers,” Gill said. “But, having said that, any team that comes to India, the challenge is the spin and reverse swing. These are the two things that, if teams can play spin well and if they can challenge the reverse swing, they are going to get good success.”So keeping these challenges in mind, you’d be looking to play on wickets that offer [something] to the batsmen and the bowlers.”In England, India picked a pace-heavy bowling attack, and the only spinners in the mix were the allrounders, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, with Kuldeep Yadav sitting out all five Tests. Two days out from the Test, the Ahmedabad pitch appeared to be greener than anticipated.”The weather and wickets we have in India, it will be difficult to follow that template [employed in England],” Gill said. “We have such quality in our team. Someone like Kuldeep, such a wicket-taker for us in all formats, didn’t get a chance to play in England, which was very unfortunate. Here, I think, playing four spinners, and spinners of such quality, you are always tempted to look at the batting depth, you have to just weigh in your options, what can give you a bit more.”6:18

Aaron on Bumrah: India not taking any chances after NZ drubbing

Will Jasprit Bumrah play both Tests?It was a constant talking point in England after it had been announced before the series that Jasprit Bumrah would play only three of the five Tests to manage his fitness. What happens now?”We’re going to take a call on a match-to-match basis depending on how long a Test match goes on and how many overs our fast bowlers bowl,” Gill said. “Nothing is pre-decided. We’re going to take the call once the Test match is over and how our fast bowlers feel and how their bodies feel after the match.”And what about Gill himself? Going from red-ball cricket in England to white-ball cricket in the UAE and back to red-ball cricket, on a red-soil pitch this time, just three days after winning the T20 Asia Cup?”For a batsman, I don’t think it’s physical fatigue. It’s more mental for a batsman. That’s a little different for a bowler,” he said. “As of now, I feel fresh and my body is ready. I am just looking at what I have to do this week and next week and that’s how I will be taking my decisions.”

Arsenal hold talks with £71m ex-Man United star after post-Old Trafford transformation

Arsenal have now reached out to the representatives of a former Man United star who’s come into his own since leaving Old Trafford, according to a new report this week.

On the field, Mikel Arteta’s side are preparing for a crucial North London derby against Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

While the Premier League title frontrunners boast an imperious record against their rivals on home turf, Arsenal will be without star defender Gabriel Magalhaes, among others, after the Brazilian limped off against Senegal with a thigh injury on international duty.

Nothing but a win will do for Arsenal, who are both looking to claim the local derby bragging rights and steer clear of second-placed Man City.

Off the field, sporting director Andrea Berta continues making plans to strengthen the squad in future windows, despite spending nearly £270 million last summer on eight major signings to bolster Arteta’s title charge.

Arsenal hold talks with Scott McTominay's camp after Napoli resurgence

According to TEAMtalk, Scott McTominay’s remarkable renaissance in Serie A has triggered a transfer scramble among Premier League heavyweights, with Arsenal one of the latest clubs to hold discussions with the midfielder’s representatives ahead of a potential summer move.

The 28-year-old has been sensational since joining Napoli from Manchester United in a £26 million deal last year, notching four goals and an assist already this season, and his transformation from a United squad player to Serie A superstar has been nothing short of extraordinary.

McTominay won the Serie A MVP award for the 2024/25 season and earned a Ballon d’Or nomination, helping Napoli to secure their fourth Scudetto, establishing himself as a club icon in just one remarkable campaign.

More recently, his stunning overhead kick against Denmark, arguably one of the best Scotland goals ever scored, sent Steve Clarke’s side on their way to an historic 4-2 win over the Danes which confirmed their place at next year’s World Cup.

Last season, he made 34 Serie A appearances, scoring 12 goals and providing four assists, obliterating expectations for a player who was considered surplus to requirements in Manchester. José Mourinho has even called McTominay “one of the best midfielders” in Europe.

Antonio Conte views the Scotsman as his midfield ‘linchpin’, and TT report that Arsenal have sounded out McTominay’s camp alongside the likes of Tottenham, Everton and even his former club. However, any potential suitors face a significant hurdle.

Napoli have set a gargantuan price tag, with any bid below £71 million set to be dismissed out of hand.

While McTominay will require a hefty investment on Berta’s part, it is clear to see why Arsenal have taken an interest, with the in-form star’s future poised to be at the centre of debate over this next year.

أرتيتا بعد الخسارة القاسية أمام أستون فيلا: تقبل الهزيمة صعب وما حدث مؤلم

أدلى مدرب آرسنال ميكيل أرتيتا بتصريحات عقب هزيمة فريقه أمام أستون فيلا في بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز لموسم 2025-2026.

وتعرض آرسنال للهزيمة من أستون فيلا بهدفين مقابل هدف على ملعب “فيلا بارك”، وجاء هدف فوز أصحاب الأرض في الوقت المحتسب بدلاً من الضائع.

وتجمد رصيد آرسنال في صدارة الترتيب عند النقطة 33، ويأتي أستون فيلا في وصافة الترتيب بـ 30 نقطة.

وقال أرتيتا في تصريحات لـ “TNT sports”: “كان من الصعب تقبّل الخسارة بالطريقة التي خسرنا بها، أتيحت لنا بعض الفرص في الشوط الأول، وبعد ذلك بدأنا بالسيطرة على المباراة، وكانت لدينا فرص جيدة”.

وأضاف: “لم نحسن إدارة الكرة عند استرجاعها، بدأنا بشكل جيد في الشوط الثاني، وسجلنا، وكنا مسيطرين، ثم مررنا بفترات فقدنا فيها الكرة، وهو ما كان سيكلفنا خسارة المباراة قبل الهدف، إنه لأمر مؤلم”.

وأردف أرتيتا: “بطريقة لعبنا، عندما يتفوق لاعب على خصمه، تكون المساحة مفتوحة، أتيحت لنا بعض الفرص، لكنهم فريق جيد، كنا قريبين من التسجيل في بعض الأحيان، علينا أن نرفع من معنوياتنا ونواصل التقدم”.

وأشار: “سيكون كل أسبوع على هذا المنوال، لم نخسر في 18 مباراة، وفارق النقاط ضئيل للغاية، علينا أن نركز على أنفسنا وعلى معايير معينة، اليوم لم تكن المستويات الفردية موجودة في بعض الحالات، علينا أن نواصل التقدم”.

وأتم: “كان مستوى الثبات في الأداء مع كل ما حدث لنا مذهلاً، لا أجد أي مانع من التفكير بخلاف ذلك”.
