West Brom dealt blow in Jack Hendry pursuit

West Bromwich Albion have been dealt a blow in their bid to bring Jack Hendry to The Hawthorns this summer.

What’s the talk?

That’s according to a report by TEAMtalk, who claimed that Club Brugge, Anderlecht and Royal Antwerp have all made a move for the KV Oostende centre-back, while Aston Villa are also thought to have joined the race for the 26-year-old’s signature.

A host of Championship clubs, including West Brom, Sheffield United and Fulham, were previously reported to be keen on a move for the former Celtic defender in the summer transfer window, although the relegated trio could now be gazumped by teams offering the prospect of top-flight or even European football.

Ismael will be gutted

With Ismael typically operating with a system which utilised three centre-backs during his time at Barnsley, it would seem highly likely that the Frenchman will implement this setup at The Hawthorns next season.

With the 45-year-old not having a great deal of choice in that position at Albion, the heart of defence would very much appear to be an area where the Baggies manager will look to strengthen in the summer transfer window, with Hendry appearing to be an excellent candidate for the role.

Indeed, over his 30 Jupiler Pro League appearances for Oostende last season, the £3.15m-rated man helped his team to keep six clean sheets, along with averaging 0.6 interceptions, one tackle and 4.1 clearances and winning 4.8 duels per game.

The £8,000-per-week defender also impressed in an attacking capacity, scoring two goals and providing one assist, as well as averaging 0.2 key passes per league game.

These returns saw the man Alex McLeish dubbed a “confident” player earn a seasonal SofaScore match rating of 7.01, ranking him as Alexander Blessin’s third-best performer in the Belgian top flight.

As such, it would very much appear that the signing of Hendry would have been a perfect fit for Ismael. However, with a number of clubs interested in the centre-back who boast considerably greater pull than the Baggies, it would seem as if a deal for the Scotland international does not look overly likely at present, an outcome which will surely leave their manager gutted.

Shane Bond back, and feeling good

Shane Bond, the TelstraClear Black Caps fast bowler of the last summer, is well down the road to recovery and on a fitness management programme aimed at having him back in action for New Zealand’s tour of the West Indies late next month

Lynn McConnell16-Apr-2002Shane Bond, the TelstraClear Black Caps fast bowler of the last summer, is well down the road to recovery and on a fitness management programme aimed at having him back in action for New Zealand’s tour of the West Indies late next month.Bond, who has been out of action with a stress fracture in his foot since the finals of the tri-series in Australia with the home team and South Africa, has been able to run and bowl over the last two weeks and is looking forward to more work over the next few weeks.There have been some slight alterations to his bowling style, nothing major, but changes aimed at lessening the chance of more injuries. He’s changed his footwear and worked on other things to minimise the risks of injury.Bond told CricInfo today that it had not been too hard to sit back and watch the England series instead of taking part.Injuries and work commitments in past years had meant he was used to missing out and he just wants to be fighting fit by the time his comeback is complete.”I can’t wait to play again. I’m going to put in some really hard work for the next six weeks.”I just want to hear my name called out when the selection is made.”The guys all tell me the West Indies are a great place to tour and New Zealand teams don’t tour there too often. And it is not the sort of place I am likely to be able to go any other time. I would love to go there.”While missing out on England had been a blow he said his injury might have been less inconvenient than many people would imagine.”The really big cricket is over the next year. And I’ve been working on getting my body into condition for that. There’s the West Indies tour, the Champions Cup and the World Cup,” he said.Bond has been working with New Zealand Cricket’s player development manager Ashley Ross on technique and modifications and he said Ross felt he could get a couple of yards faster yet.Bond wants to get his confidence and rhythm back before wondering about that.”Bowling faster would be fine, but what I would like to be able to do is bowl as fast as I was before, but all day, and then backing up the next day,” he said.There was still an element of anxiety about bowling, whenever he put his foot down in the delivery stride but, he said, every ball he bowled since coming back had given him more confidence.

تقارير تركية: أتالانتا يتخذ قرارًا هامًا بشأن صفقة مصطفى محمد

اتخذ نادي أتالانتا المنافس في بطولة الدوري الإيطالي قرارًا هامًا بشأن صفقة مهاجم الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي جالطة سراي، مصطفى محمد، قبل بداية الميركاتو الصيفي المقبل.

وارتبط اسم مصطفى محمد منذ فترة بإمكانية الانتقال إلى أتالانتا بداية من الموسم الجديد، ولكن لم يكن هناك أي تحرك من قبل إدارة النادي الإيطالي.

وبحسب صحيفة “فوتوماك” التركية، تؤكد أن نادي أتالانتا لديه تصميم تام للحصول على خدمات مهاجم منتخب مصر وقرر عقد اجتماع مع مسئولي جالطة سراي لحسم الصفقة.

ستكون هناك جلسة اجتماع بين جالطة سراي وأتالانتا، حيث عرض النادي الإيطالي في السابق 5.5 مليون يورو وربما يزيد العرض المادي لإنهاء الأمر مع بداية سوق الانتقالات الصيفية.

الجدير بالذكر أن مصطفى محمد كان قد انتقل في يناير 2021 إلى جالطة سراي من الزمالك على سبيل الإعارة قبل البقاء نهائيًا بدفع شرط أحقية الشراء في ديسمبر الماضي وقيمته 4 ملايين دولار.

Celtic: Ryan now Postecoglou’s top target

Brighton goalkeeper Mat Ryan is now Ange Postecoglou’s top Celtic target, according to Scott Burns of The Daily Record.

The Lowdown: Hoops make Ryan promise

It took just three days for Ryan to be linked with a move to the club following Postecoglou’s switch to Celtic Park was confirmed.

The pair worked together during Postecoglou’s four-year stint as Australia boss, with the 55-year-old making Ryan his number one at the 2014 World Cup and 2015 Asia Cup.

Reports last month claimed that Celtic were putting a contract package together for Ryan and were ready to offer him the number one shirt at Parkhead.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/celtic-updates-7/” title=”Celtic updates” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Latest: Burns claim

Burns, who broke the news regarding Celtic’s move for Sheffield Wednesday defender Osaze Urhoghide on Thursday hours before it was announced, shared a story on Thursday evening.

He claimed that Postecoglou is likely to bring in a new shot-stopper with Ryan a top target.

The Verdict: Sign

If Postecoglou now sees Ryan as a top target, Celtic should do everything they can to grant his wish ahead of the new season.

He’ll know just what the 29-year-old would bring to Parkhead and could end up solving the club’s goalkeeping dilemma.

Vasilis Barkas, Scott Bain and Conor Hazard were all handed opportunities last season, with Neil Lennon unsure on who to stick with throughout the previous campaign.

Ryan, who has 58 international caps and 124 Premier League appearances under his belt could be the ideal addition and a deal looks financially doable.

A price between £3-5m has been touted, but Ryan may have to take a slight hit on his £35,000-a-week wage if he wants to move to Scotland, with Callum McGregor the club’s top earner on £20,000-a-week.

Police investigate 'financial irregularities' at Yorkshire

Police are investigating allegations of financial irregularities at Yorkshire County Cricket Club

Stephen Lamb23-Apr-2002Police are investigating allegations of financial irregularities at Yorkshire County Cricket Club. The allegations are believed to have come from within the club, who have not yet commented upon them.Detective Inspector Peter Ramsay of West Yorkshire Police told the Yorkshire Post: “I can confirm we have received a report of certain financial irregularities and are looking in to the matter,”Yorkshire won the County Championship last season for the first time in 33 years but reported an annual loss of £46,000.

Leeds could get their own Sancho in Madueke

Leeds United could sign their own version of England star Jadon Sancho in PSV Eindhoven sensation Noni Madueke.

What’s the story?

Reports in recent weeks and months had suggested that Marcelo Bielsa’s side have already been “putting feelers out” for the winger over a summer move, before suggestions that his price tag had seen the Whites steer clear.

Football Insider have now delivered an exciting update on the situation, claiming that Leeds have reignited their interest in the England under-21 international after some third-party discussions.

The report stated: “A Leeds source has told Football Insider the club have been given encouragement that PSV will lower their demands for 19-year-old Madueke to around the £20m mark.”

Leeds’ own Sancho

With Sancho currently with the England squad at Euro 2020 and facing off against Ukraine tonight in the quarter-finals of the competition, Leeds could sign someone in Madueke who is similarly quick and exciting and with a bag of tricks in his locker.

Former England under-21 manager Aidy Boothroyd said of the 19-year-old: “He’s a powerhouse of a player, technically very good, left-footed and likes to come in off the side of the pitch, off the right and go and link.

“He’s got a goal in him, he’s very creative. He’s got a massive smile, a lovely kid. The lads have taken to him, as they would because he’s a good player, he has that respect for what he’s done at PSV.”

Meanwhile, former PSV ace Tommie van de Leegte also raved about the 19-year-old, saying (via Goal): “He’s fast and has the capability to trick his opponent. He brings creativity and is very explosive in his actions. That’s what PSV needs.”

Manchester United-bound Sancho was on fire for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga last season, notching 16 goals and 20 assists in 38 games across all competitions.

While Madueke didn’t produce such incredible numbers, he still had a huge impact in terms of finding the back of the net himself and also setting up his teammates in a selfless manner as well – he managed nine goals and eight assists in 32 games.

Both players averaged more than 1.5 dribbles per game in their respective leagues, while they were fouled equally as often (0.8 times per match) – strong evidence of the directness with which they play.

While English Leeds fans who are watching the Ukraine game may be excited at the prospect of seeing Sancho shine, they could well have their own version of the winger in Madueke at Elland Road next season if their club were to sign him.

Meanwhile, Leeds receive major update on Marcelo Bielsa’s future…
