In news that comes as a major surprise to Premier League fans, Liverpool are reportedly in talks to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe on loan this summer.

Have Liverpool put a bid in for Kylian Mbappe?

Well, it certainly seems unlikely that Jurgen Klopp's side could secure the services of one of the world's most sensational footballers in Mbappe this summer, but that has not stopped the Mirror from revealing that the club are in talks with PSG.

The France captain is entering the final year of his contract with the Ligue 1 champions and offers no hope of renewing his current deal, prompting the affluent outfit to seek options after banishing the star from their first-team plans.

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is said to be particularly incensed after the 24-year-old's obstinate rejection of Saudi Arabian interest, after Al-Hilal lodged a jaw-dropping world-record £259m offer, which would allow Mbappe to move to Real Madrid in one year's time.

Could Liverpool really sign Kylian Mbappe?

Justifiably, the news filtering in of Liverpool's desire to add Mbappe to the ranks has been met with an incredulous response from the club's fanbase.

Liverpool's emphasis this summer is on bolstering the midfield and adding to the defence; Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have both arrived to contribute to the former – with negotiations to sign holding midfielder Romeo Lavia ongoing – while there is an indication that the Anfield side will accelerate plans to sign a new centre-back.

But the tantalising thought of securing the 2018 World Cup winner's signature, albeit for one season, is seemingly too hard to resist for Klopp and co and if the Mirror's report is to be believed Liverpool are identifying the feasibility of a short-term transfer at the very least.

The wage demands would be astronomical; the 70-cap France star – with 40 goals – earns a salary of £1.95m-per-week in Paris, and is valued at £109m by Football Transfers.

But the "incredible" striker – as he has been praised by France boss Didier Deschamps – would bring a level of striking superiority matched by scant few on English shores, having scored 212 goals and supplied 98 assists from 260 matches for PSG.

As per FBref, he ranks among the top 2% of forwards across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for goals, the top 4% for shot-creating actions, the top 5% for progressive passes, the top 1% for progressive carries and the top 3% for successful take-ons per 90 – The list goes on, and Liverpool's attack would rival any in world football with Mbappe's addition.

Just imagine the chaos that Mohamed Salah could inflict upon opposition defences with a world-class "alien" – as Piotr Zielinski once pronounced, in awe, of Mbappe's performance, alongside him.

Liverpool fell by the wayside last term and failed to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in seven years – a factor that could prove another stumbling block in the Reds' pursuit of the one-time Monaco prodigy – but Salah still managed to produce a scintillating individual campaign that yielded 30 goals and 16 assists across 51 outings from his right-forward deployment.

The dynamic partnership that could arise from Mbappe and Salah's feats on alternating wings, with a creative and selfless focal point such as Cody Gakpo orchestrating the play from the middle, could result in a destructive formula to catapult Liverpool back into title contention.

In a season that is so paramount to the next phase in the club's future as one of Europe's elite, it's no wonder that sporting director Jorg Schmadtke might be assessing the chance of landing Mbappe, even if it is only for one year.

Alas, the likelihood of a move to Merseyside taking place is small, infinitesimal even, but if Klopp did manage to get his hands on one of the greatest offensive prospects football has ever seen, it could spearhead a resurgence that would not only put Liverpool back to the forefront, but eclipse the previous illustrious success under their German manager's wing.

Mark Goldbridge has reacted to news that Anthony Martial is now back on the grass at Carrington following his latest injury setback at Manchester United.

What's the latest on Manchester United forward Anthony Martial?

According to The Evening Standard, Martial has been spotted in training pictures at Manchester United's Carrington training complex despite failing to feature in a single pre-season friendly for the Red Devils.

The report adds that the France international could feature in some capacity against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday at Old Trafford as new signing Rasmus Hojlund has been ruled out for a 'few weeks' with a back concern.

Last campaign, Martial struggled to maintain regular fitness for Manchester United, amassing 29 appearances across all competitions and notching nine goals and three assists in total, as per Transfermarkt.

Speculation surrounding the future of the former Sevilla loanee has emerged over the course of the transfer window. According to Caught Offside, Martial has been shortlisted by David Moyes at West Ham United, with the Scot looking to replace Gianluca Scamacca at the London Stadium between now and the close of play.

Writing in his exclusive column on Substack, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has suggested that Manchester United could be willing to let Martial seek a new challenge, stating: "At the moment, Anthony Martial is staying at Manchester United but I’d consider him in the same range of players as Scott McTominay and Harry Maguire – if he gets an important proposal, he could leave. “Otherwise, he’ll stay and be part of Erik Ten Hag’s rotation squad. That’s the feeling around Martial now.”

Martial has just one year left on his contract at Manchester United and believed to earn a whopping £250,000 per week on the books of the Premier League giants, as per Capology.

Furthering the notion that Martial could be set to leave Manchester United, transfer insider Dean Jones told GIVEMESPORT that any departure could be complex despite the Red Devils' willingness to ship the Frenchman out of the club due to his injury record.

Jones said: “This could have been a big summer for Martial but a lack of game time again means he can not be relied on. United are definitely open to the idea of Martial leaving but it has to be a situation that suits everybody and that’s the tricky part to this. Obviously Martial’s injury record is not ideal so even future clubs have to be wary of that and it will impact in terms of any future deals he could get."

What has Mark Goldbridge said about Anthony Martial?

Goldbridge has been reacting to news that Martial has returned to training at Carrington on The United Stand YouTube channel; however, he isn't convinced that the Massy-born forward will be able to stay consistently fit in 2023/24.

The pundit stated: "I cannot invest any hope, excitement or anticipation or belief in Anthony Martial. I can't, not because I don't like the player, because it's a waste of optimism. He would have to stay fit until New Year for me to start believing in Anthony Martial.

"If he is fit and he keeps playing games, great. I'm not going to start getting excited about it because I'm just going to expect every week that he's going to break down injured again. That's where I am with Martial. It can only be a bonus, but it's not a bonus I believe in, so lets wait and see."

For now, at least, it looks like Martial will need to convince not just Goldbridge, but the entire Manchester United support, that he can be relied upon as an available attacking option this term after years of false dawns at Old Trafford.

An update has emerged on Wolverhampton Wanderers and their plans to bolster their attacking options ahead of the 2023/24 campaign…

What's the latest Wolves transfer news?

According to Football Insider, Wolves are one of a number of sides eyeing up a swoop to sign Southampton centre-forward Che Adams during the summer transfer window.

Julen Lopetegui is looking to improve his forward line and has seemingly identified the former Birmingham number nine as a player who could provide the team with an added spark at the top end of the pitch.

However, the report claims that fellow Premier League teams Everton and Bournemouth are also interested in the Saints star, who has one year left to run on his current contract at St. Mary's.

Football Insider do not reveal how much it would take to secure the £52k-per-week gem's services this summer but do state that the Championship outfit are willing to sell him if a respectable offer comes in.

How many goals has Che Adams scored for Southampton?

The Scotland international has scored 31 goals in 145 appearances for the Saints in all competitions and could improve Lopetegui's attack this season, as well as being able to make current winger Pedro Neto better.

Adams has scored 21 goals across the last three Premier League campaigns combined, which works out as seven goals per term on average, and was one described as a "ketchup bottle phenomenon" by former manager Ralph Hasenhuttl due to his knack for scoring a number of goals in quick succession.

Meanwhile, no Wolves striker managed more than three top-flight strikes during the 2022/23 season and no player in any position produced more than six.

This suggests that the 27-year-old marksman has the quality to be Lopetegui's outstanding scoring option through the middle of the park if he is able to carry on that form at the Molineux, or even improve upon it.

His success in front of goal could depend on the service that is provided to him and that is where Neto can play a key role as the Portuguese wizard has been let down by his teammates in recent years.

The former Lazio prospect has created 9.95 xA in the last three Premier League seasons for Wolves and only been rewarded with seven assists, which suggests that his fellow attackers are not making the most of the opportunities that he has been able to create for them.

Neto, who created 2.5 chances per game at the U21 European Championship this summer, could benefit from Adams' arrival as it would provide him with a centre-forward who has the ability to finish on at least a semi-regular basis, whereas the club's current strikers have rarely been able to find the back of the net.

The 23-year-old dynamo has also previously showcased his ability as a scorer, with eight goals in his first two top-flight seasons combined before one in the last two.

Adams could make the left-footed whiz better by being a focal point for the exciting youngster to play off in the final third. The Southampton is able to offer a creative presence as he has racked up 5.58 xA over the last two years and at least three assists in each of the last three campaigns.

Meanwhile, Joao Moutinho (two) was the only Wolves player with more than one assist last term, which suggests that the Scottish ace could provide the club with a boost due to his ability as both a scorer and a creator.

Therefore, the signing of Adams could allow Neto to thrive and get better as it would provide the talented gem with a striker who can both finish off the chances he creates whilst also helping him to add to his own goal tally.

O duelo

O forte calor impediu que os dois times disputassem uma partida mais agitada. Melhor para a Ponte Preta, que conseguiu administrar o resultado e fez o tempo correr.

Na reta final da primeira etapa a Ponte apertou no ataque. Primeiro com Camilo, que recebeu em velocidade, driblou o goleiro, mas perdeu o equilíbrio. Nos acréscimos, na bola aérea, Zé Roberto aproveitou a sobra na pequena área e mandou para o gol, 1 a 0.

No segundo tempo o ritmo do Afogados foi melhor, porém a equipe deixou espaços no setor defensivo, que foram explorados pela Macaca. Apesar do perigo com as jogadas em velocidade, o gol do time de Campinas saiu em cobrança de falta. Guilherme Lazaroni acertou falta da intermediária, viu a bola bater no travessão e morrer dentro do gol, 2 a 0.

Na casa dos 24 minutos, a Ponte criou mais uma boa oportunidade. No contra-ataque, Guilherme Pato invadiu a área e soltou a bomba, que explodiu no travessão. Na volta, Apodi tentou de bicicleta, mas estava impedido.

Matt Coles has swapped Kent for County Champions Essex on a two-year deal.Coles, something of an unfulfilled talent, admitted he had a “heavy heart” about leaving Kent but felt the opportunity to play Division One cricket and “push myself to be as good as I can be” made this too good an opportunity to miss.For Essex, his addition adds competition for places and depth in all formats.A former Lions allrounder, Coles emerged through the Kent youth system and academy. He made his first-team debut in 2009 and has represented the club more than 200 times across formats. He had a year remaining on his Kent contract.He did briefly leave Kent once before. At the end of 2013 he joined Hampshire on loan and subsequently signed with them. But despite a decent 2014 season, he struggled to settle away from home and returned to Kent.”It is with a heavy heart that I leave Kent,” Coles said. “It’s been my home and family for most of my life and career.”But I have a great opportunity to move and play Division One cricket with the County Champions. It feels right, and I want to push myself to be as good as I can be. Essex’s vision for the future is really exciting and I’m looking forward to playing a significant part.”Coles has flirted with notoriety for much of his career – he and Ben Stokes were sent home from a Lions tour in early 2013 after one too many nights out, while he was left out of Kent’s Championship fixture against Derbyshire in June 2016 following a drink-related incident and was suspended by the ECB for two further Championship matches after being found guilty of throwing the ball in a dangerous manner during their victory against Glamorgan in May. However, he is a well-respected player who performed well enough to earn selection for the first series of North-South matches at the start of the year.Aged 27 and with his chances of England recognition having receded sharply over recent years, the move might be considered a defining moment in his career.”It is important that we continue to improve the squad and not rest on our laurels,” Essex Head Coach Chris Silverwood said. “We feel Matt offers excellent attributes with both his batting and bowling across all formats. He will strengthen competition in red-ball cricket but also offer destructive batting and bowling in white-ball cricket so it is an excellent signing for the club.”The news leaves Kent’s seam-bowling resources looking a little thin ahead of the 2018 season. It is understood the club are among several keen to tempt Morne Morkel into a Kolpak deal and are also making enquiries about several other county seamers who either out of contract or out of favour at their current counties.

هاجم أمير عزمي مجاهد، مدرب الزمالك السابق، البرتغالي جوزيه جوميز المدير الفني للفريق، بعد الخسارة أمام سموحة، أمس الأحد، في بطولة الدوري المصري الممتاز.

وتمكن سموحة من الفوز على الزمالك، في إطار مواجهات الأسبوع الـ 21 من عمر منافسات بطولة الدوري المصري الممتاز.

وقال أمير عزمي مجاهد في تصريحات عبر قناة “صدى البلد”: “الزمالك عادت حظوظه في الدوري بعد مباراة الأهلي، والناس استبشروا خيراً، سموحة ليس فريقاً صغيراً، بل فريق جيد ومعهم مدرب محترم، لا يصح أن المدير الفني يُعطي اللاعبين انطباعًا بأن المباراة ودية”.

وتابع: “ألوم المدير الفني للزمالك، وألوم اللاعبين، أنا شعرت بغياب الحمية على الفوز، وهذا ظهر من خلال المخالفة التي حصل عليها الفريق داخل منطقة الجزاء، تعاملوا معها بمنتهى الاستهتار، أنا خرجت عن شعوري وأنا أشاهد اللقطة”.

وأضاف: “هذا بسبب الانطباع الذي وصل للاعبين من المدرب، إذا كان يُريد جوميز أن يقوم بعمل تدوير للاعبين لا يصح أن يُغير كل لاعبي وسط الفريق، تغيير 8 لاعبين كثير جدًا، المفروض أن ألعب بالمجموعة الأساسية وأنهي اللقاء مُبكرًا ثم أجري تغييرات”.

وأردف: “محمد شحاتة وإبراهيما نداي ليسا ظهيرين، جوميز لعب 9 مباريات في الدوري، وحدث خلالهم 14 تغييرا في وسط الملعب، هذا ممكن يعود إلى أن مدرسته لا تعتمد على ثبات التشكيل”.

وأشار: “الزمالك يريد التتويج بالكونفدرالية بالتأكيد، لكن الدوري مهم أيضًا، إذا لم يُجمع الفريق نقاط من الدور الأول لن يُشارك في إفريقيا الموسم القادم”.

واختتم: “المسؤول عن خسارة الزمالك أمام سموحة هو المدير الفني، وعدم ظهور الروح عند اللاعبين”.
