In the final moments of Thursday's CONCACAF Champions Cup opener, Inter Miami found themselves down 2-1. Lionel Messi had brought them back within a goal thanks to a Suarez assist but, five minutes into stoppage time, Suarez made his mark with a goal of his own.

For that goal, Suarez combined with another former Barca teammate, Sergio Busquets. The midfielder's perfectly-placed cross fell right onto Suarez's head as he fired home a crucial away goal to level the score at 2-2.

The goal was a massive one for Miami, who will now have the advantage heading back to South Beach. Thanks to the away goal rule, the 2-2 draw means Miami hold the lead ahead of next week's second leg, forcing Nashville to come out and attack away from home against a team that has Messi and Suarez ready to lead the line.

Alex Hales bounces back after 'very, very bad day at the office'

Batsman turns from scapegoat to saviour in the space of 72 hours, as England bounce back from Old Trafford defeat

Alex Hales’ unbeaten 58 not out steered England to victory•Getty Images

Alex Hales turned from scapegoat to saviour in the space of 72 hours, as England bounced back from an ignominious batting collapse at Old Trafford to square the T20I series with a hard-fought five-wicket victory at Cardiff.And no-one fought harder than Hales himself, as he clubbed England over the line with 58 not out from 41 balls to atone for his momentum-squandering knock of 8 from 18 in the opening match of the series.”It’s right up there,” Hales said after the match. “The game at Manchester was a very, very bad day at the office personally and as a team, we didn’t quite get going. But today was brilliant, to bounce back in a must-win game shows a lot of character as a team.”One of the keys to England’s success was the negation of Kuldeep Yadav, the left-arm wristspinner whose wiles had bamboozled their batsmen to the tune of five wickets at Old Trafford. After intensive work against their spin-bowling machine, Merlyn, England came up with a plan to combat his angles, much of which involved staying deeper in the crease.”I’d never faced him before and I didn’t know much about him,” said Hales. “Maybe I just went out in Manchester without a plan and couldn’t get going. I watched a bit more footage, worked with Merlyn and looked to play a bit more off the back foot and waited for him to float one up hit a bit straighter, rather than cross bat like my dismissal the other night. It’s about having a bit more of a plan and more composure.”We picked him the other night, but I don’t think we played him very well,” he added. “You can see it out of his hand which way it’s spinning, but the other night we were maybe a bit rusty and had never played against him. Now we have had good look, had a good plan and it’s important to take that into Sunday and keep on top of him.”Asked if England’s success against Kuldeep had dealt him a psychological blow, Hales responded: “I think so. I guess it would do, yeah. It’s good for us to have that momentum heading into a must-win game on Sunday. Everyone collectively had a poor day on Sunday, but we bounced back well and it was brilliant today. Particularly Adil [Rashid], I think the Indians were looking to line him up to that short boundary so to go for under 30 was amazing.”Despite his personal success, Hales is under no illusions that his place in England’s starting XI remains vulnerable, especially with Ben Stokes nearing full fitness and potentially pressing for inclusion in the series decider at Bristol.”I’m doing all I can to score runs and keep putting pressure on the guys who know they’re playing,” he said. “We will have to see what happens. If it’s me that’s left out, you look at the guys who are playing ahead of me and what can you do? It’s up to me to keep training hard, being positive and have a decent mindset. It’s funny how quickly things can change.”It’s what Jonny [Bairstow] did for three years. Every time he got a chance he delivered, and has now made four hundreds in six games. I maybe find myself in that position now and have to see what I can do.”One of the strengths of England’s current white-ball set-up is the adaptability of their line-up, with batsmen moving up and down the order according to the match situation. Hales himself came in at No.4 at Cardiff, having been at 3 at Old Trafford, but he admitted that learning new roles was part of the challenge of playing in this team.”The batting line-up is that strong, you look how well Jos [Buttler] is playing, he’s batting on a different planet. Just to be part of this batting line-up, anywhere in the order is a great effort. Wherever I find myself I have to adapt and keep learning, and that was a different role tonight, it was like me and Jos swapped roles. I have to keep learning going forward if that’s the role I’ll play.”Whatever happens to Hales in the course of the next few games, he believes he has the wherewithal to cope with being left out of the side, which is something that he was forced to learn at a young age in county cricket.”When I was young, 22 or 23, I was dropped from the Notts team and was sent on loan,” he said. “Being on a downer is something I have had to deal with in my career so it’s nothing new to me, so when I face those moments, as I did the other night, I had a poor night, I know how to deal with it and bounce back and know that can happen in cricket. It’s a funny game.”

Stoke plotting move to sign "great" gem who’s scored 27 goals this season

As they continue to fight for their place in the Championship, Stoke City have reportedly sent scouts to watch a young striker in action ahead of a potential summer swoop.

Stoke transfer news

The Potters are walking a fine line in England’s second tier, sitting just six points clear of the dropzone albeit with one game in hand on the bottom three. Recent form does at least make for positive reading, however, with a 3-1 victory over fellow strugglers Swansea City last time out giving them some much-needed breathing room.

Up against Norwich City this weekend in what was once a Premier League fixture, Mark Robins will be desperate to see his side once again pick up all three points and take another key step towards safety.

Meanwhile, those at the Bet365 Stadium have also seemingly commenced their search for summer reinforcements. In what will be their first full season with Robins in charge, they’ll hope to see the former Coventry City boss take Stoke back into the top half and may even hand him a future star in pursuit of that.

According to the East Anglian Daily Times, Stoke have now sent scouts to watch Charlie Warren and are among a handful of EFL clubs now plotting a move to sign the Felixtowe & Walton forward.

Still just 20 years old, Warren has been one of the standout players in the Isthmian League North Division so far this season – scoring 27 goals in all competitions and taking his side top of the league on goal difference.

Now, thanks to his form, he could swap the fourth step of non-league football for the chance to play in the Championship if Stoke come calling.

"Great" Warren could make sensational leap

We’ve seen the likes of Ollie Tanner make the jump from non-league football to the Championship in recent years to great success, swapping Lewes for Cardiff City last summer. Now, Warren could become the latest to make a sensational, but deserved leap into the EFL.

When asked about the interest in his forward, Felixtowe & Walton manager Stuart Boardley was full of praise for Warren – telling reporters: “Charlie’s had a lot of interest from various EFL clubs. He’s under contract with us, but we won’t stand in the way of him fulfilling his potential.

He’s really good technically and physically very able. He’s turned into a man over the past couple of years and this season has been his big break out. He’s been incredible for us, is a great lad and, even though we’ve not received any concrete offers yet, we’re resigned to losing him.

“I’ve got no doubt he’ll go on to have a good professional career. My only surprise is that none of the local clubs – Ipswich, Colchester, Norwich, Cambridge – haven’t had a look.”

Whether it’s at Stoke or elsewhere, Warren looks destined to complete quite the step from non-league all the way to the EFL this summer.

Spurs: Tottenham ahead of Chelsea for £52m forward, he dreams of a move

Tottenham Hotspur have a distinct advantage over London rivals Chelsea in the race to sign a £52 million forward, according to reports this week.

Who could Spurs sign in January?

The north Londoners made seven major signings over the summer transfer window, with the likes of Micky van de Ven and James Maddison in particular going on to dazzle under new manager Ange Postecoglou. The duo are now mainstays of Tottenham's table-topping eleven. Van de Ven has formed an excellent partnership with Cristian Romero in central defence, while Maddison has scored two goals and assisted five others in the league alone.

Spurs legend Glenn Hoddle has raved over Maddison's form this season, telling Premier League productions that the Englishman could be about to hit his peak in these next few years.

“I always rated him,” said Hoddle. “I felt Tottenham three years should have gone and got him with Harry (Kane) in the team. I always felt that he was ahead of players who were getting ahead of him in the England squad when he was at Leicester. With better players around him, and certainly in that England team, I think you would see the best and that’s coming out of him now. He has matured."

However, reports in the last few weeks have claimed that Spurs have a few positions they wish to strengthen in the January window. Galatasaray defender Victor Nelsson, Juventus star Gleison Bremer, Bournemouth's Lloyd Kelly and Bayer Leverkusen star Edmond Tapsoba are all reported defensive targets as Postecoglou eyes solid back up for van de Ven and Romero. Tottenham only have Eric Dier to fall back on, something which could cause trouble if either of the pair were to be sidelined.

Meanwhile, a possible exit for midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, as has been reported, could mean that Spurs move to sign a replacement with one of the candidates being Chelsea star Conor Gallagher.

Tottenham transfer news – Marcus Edwards

Another player who's been linked with a move to north London is an ex-Spurs prodigy, with a report from Portugal providing the latest update on Marcus Edwards. Record, as translated and shared by Sport Witness, state both Tottenham and Chelsea are targeting the player who has a £52 million release clause, though his club, Sporting Lisbon, plan to raise it around £69m with a new contract.

The winger seems fairly keen on it, but he also has a "dream" of returning to England and playing his football in the Premier League. Both Spurs and Chelsea are possible landing spots, though Postecoglou's side have a distinct advantage in that they are due 25% of any future transfer for Edwards – who Owen Hargreaves called "fantastic". This is due to a sell-on clause in the Englishman's contract, meaning they'd pay far less than Chelsea would for his signing.

Speaking to the media back in 2016, former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, now in charge of Chelsea, revealed his admiration for Edwards, saying:

"He is a very good prospect and, potentially, he can be a top player but we need to be patient and tell him that he has a lot of talent, enough talent to be a top player, a great player, but now it’s how he builds his future – that’s very important."

Rangers: Bisgrove can seal a masterclass by hiring "perfect" 4-3-3 manager

An update has emerged on Glasgow Rangers and their chances of landing one of their targets to replace Michael Beale in the dugout at Ibrox…

What's the latest Rangers manager news?

According to the Daily Record, Yokohama F Marinos head coach Kevin Muscat is keen on taking the job with the Scottish giants and is now stalling on a new contract with his current club.

The report claims that his deal with the Japanese side is due to expire within the next two months and the Gers would, therefore, not have to shell out millions in compensation to secure his services.

It states that the former Light Blues defender is 'ready' to accept the role if it is offered to him and that his name has already made it onto the club's shortlist of potential candidates, with chief executive James Bisgrove leading the charge to find the next permanent manager.

How many trophies has Muscat won?

The 50-year-old tactician has won three trophies in his managerial career to date and has proven himself to be capable of coaching a title-winning side in two different countries.

Yokohama F. Marinos manager Kevin Muscat.

Muscat, who starred for Millwall during his playing days, won the Japanese top flight with Yokohama in 2022 with a record of 20 wins, eight draws, and six defeats in 34 matches.

His side are currently four points off the top of the table in 2023 with five matches left to play, which means that he still has a chance to secure back-to-back titles unless his move to Rangers denies him the opportunity to see out the rest of the season.

The 4-3-3 boss has also won the Super Cup with Yokohama and his success in Japan followed a strong spell in Australia with Melbourne Victory.

Muscat won the top flight in his home country with a record of 17 wins, eight draws, and four defeats in 29 matches during the 2014/15 campaign.

Former Rangers boss Michael Beale.

Along with his proven track record as a winning coach, analyst Petar Petrov once claimed that he would be "perfect" for Rangers due to his attacking style of football and his ability to get the most out of 'talented' squads.

Bisgrove could, therefore, secure a masterclass by pushing for Muscat to replace Beale as he is a trophy-winning boss who seemingly deploys an attractive brand of football

In comparison, the former Gers head coach is yet to win a single trophy in his managerial career, with QPR or Rangers, and has left the club in third place with three defeats in seven Scottish Premiership matches this season.

The 43-year-old tactician failed to secure any pieces of silverware during his debut campaign with the Light Blues and endured a difficult start to the current one before his dismissal on Sunday.

Beale's side did not qualify for the group stages of the Champions League as they lost to PSV in their play-off match and that came after former boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst qualified for Europe's premier cup competition the previous season.

This suggests that Muscat could come in as an upgrade on the English manager due to his proven ability to organise a team that is capable of competing for silverware, along with his eagerness for the job suggesting that he is up for the challenge and ready to work hard in the role.

Does Erling Haaland still have his heart set on Real Madrid? Striker to demand release clause in Man City contract talks that would allow him to join Spanish giants

Erling Haaland will reportedly demand a release clause in his Manchester City contract that would allow him to keep his Real Madrid dream alive.

Haaland set to resume contract talks with CityWill demand a release clause in his contract Norwegian wants to keep his options openWHAT HAPPENED?

Haaland completed his high-profile transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City in 2022, signing a five-year deal. However, the striker's representative, Rafaela Pimienta, included a clause allowing the player to depart in the summer of 2024 for a fee affordable to clubs outside England. This clause is said to decrease in value over time, making it an enticing proposition for potential suitors like Real Madrid.

AdvertisementGettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE

According towhile City remain keen on extending Haaland's contract, it is believed that Pimienta will continue to negotiate terms that would continue to have a release clause in the new deal, to keep the possibility of a move open. This strategic approach aligns with Haaland's willingness to explore opportunities, particularly with Real Madrid.

DID YOU KNOW?

However, Real Madrid face a financial challenge in accommodating both Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, in their well-defined salary structure. But the club's revamped financial resources, courtesy of the renovated Bernabeu stadium, may facilitate such high-profile signings.

It is understood that Madrid have already negotiated a salary for Mbappe a salary that does not violate the existing wage hierarchy as the French striker will be earning equal to Jude Bellingham. Nonetheless, Haaland's ownership of 100 per cent of his image rights poses another obstacle for the club, as Los Blancos traditionally prefer to share such rights with players.

Both Haaland and Real Madrid must find an amicable solution to the financial conundrum that would hinder the transfer should they decide to pursue one. However, the allure of the Spanish capital club, coupled with Haaland's openness to the prospect, suggests that the possibility of him donning the white jersey remains palpable in the coming years.

Wolves may have a Neves heir in "highly rated" 20 y/o prospect

After the blockbuster sale of Morgan Gibbs-White last summer, Wolverhampton Wanderers became even more aware of the benefits of unearthing academy talent.

The Old Gold sold the Englishman to Nottingham Forest for a fee of £42.5m after he made only 48 Premier League appearances for the club, signalling just how much profit can be generated from one of their own.

While the summer transfer window was a difficult time for Wolves, Gary O’Neil could now look to the next wave of stars at Molineux to bolster his squad options, after the manager stated his team are “£80m short” of quality due to significant sales to ease FFP concerns.

There is currently a host of talent developing in the academy, with one name arriving just last month to strengthen not just the youth sides, but potentially the first team too.

Who is Tawanda Chirewa?

Following the close of the transfer window, Wolves’ academy welcomed 19-year-old midfielder Tawanda Chirewa as a free agent from Ipswich Town U21’s, after he turned down a new deal with the Championship side.

Having recently turned 20, the Zimbabwean has made a statement start to life in the Midlands, suggesting that his trajectory could be one to follow if his form continues.

While Wolves made their move for the prospect in September, the process to capture his signature spanned far prior to his actual arrival, with academy manager for football Jon Hunter-Barrett admitting that the Old Gold had been watching him since he was 16.

The youngster arrives at Molineux with an encouraging amount of experience under his belt, having made his senior debut for Ipswich back in 2019 as a 16-year-old, becoming the second-youngest player to ever represent the Blues’ first team.

What could Tawanda Chirewa offer to Wolves?

Deployed as a central midfielder, Hunter-Barrett described the 20-year-old as having “key qualities” in “handling the ball in tight areas” and his ability to move play into more advanced spaces to “create and score from deep areas”.

It wouldn’t be the first time that Wolves have had a player that thrives in completing such tasks, with departed captain Ruben Neves being the club’s brain in the engine room during his six years in the Midlands, having been dubbed "incredible" by ex-teammate Hugo Bueno.

Former Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves.

Lauded as a “highly rated” prospect by U23 scout Antonio Mango, Chirewa is already showing signs that he could be the eventual heir to the Portuguese ace, with a place in the squad potentially set to arise next summer.

O’Neil snapped up Manchester City starlet Tommy Doyle on loan from the treble winners on deadline day, however, if the Old Gold decide not to buy the 22-year-old, a gap could become vacant for a talent like Chirewa to exploit.

With one goal in two Premier League 2 appearances for his new club already, the Zimbabwean is settling in perfectly to his new surroundings, as supported by Talking Wolves founder Dave Azzopardi who dubbed him a “very tidy player” and one that could prevail to be a “really clever signing” in the future.

While there is a long time before the midfielder can be mentioned alongside a player of the calibre of Neves, his performance for Wolves in the Football League Trophy against Lincoln City bore similarities to those of the former captain.

As per Sofascore, the 20-year-old made two key passes in the 90 minutes he played, as well as contributing defensively with four tackles and five clearances, showcasing his strengths in a variety of roles.

In the Premier League last season, Neves notably illustrated his all-round quality after averaging 2.3 tackles and 2.3 clearances per game from 35 outings, while also offering six goals and one assist as a marker of his attacking threat.

Instead of looking to Doyle to be a long-term successor to the Al-Hilal man, O’Neil could potentially have a strong, standout heir in Chirewa, who looks to be on an encouraging path in the early days of his career at Molineux.
