تحدث حسام حسن، المدير الفني لمنتخب مصر الأول، عن الخسارة أمام أوزبكستان بهدفين نظيفين، ضمن منافسات دورة العين الودية.

وقال حسام حسن، عبر المؤتمر الصحفي: “أحب المكسب، وكرة القدم فيها مكسب وخسارة، الشوط الثاني قدمنا أداء بشكل أفضل، وهذا طبيعي، المباريات الودية الأهم أننا نستفيد منها ونجرب ونرى الأخطاء”.

وتابع: “واجهنا منتخبًا يقدم كرة جميلة، ونعلم قدراتهم تمامًا وتأهلوا لكأس العالم، ويؤدون بشكل جيد، كان لدي 8 لاعبين أساسيين غائبين ومؤثرين ما بين عبد المنعم وإمام عاشور وتريزيجيه ومهند لاشين ومرموش وإبراهيم عادل، لاعبون أصحاب قدرات عالية كانوا ستيفرقون معنا كثيرًا في الناحية الهجومية”.

وواصل: “دائمًا منتخب مصر لا يقف على أحد، وكانت فرصة أننا نجرب وجوهًا جديدة، مثل مروان عثمان ومحمود صابر وأسامة فيصل، المباريات الودية فرصة لمشاركة اللاعبين الجدد وفرصة أن نعرف أين وصلنا، ودون القوام الأساسي”.

واستكمل: “أنا سعيد بأداء الشوط الثاني قلت للاعبين إن الفترة المقبلة سنلعب على مستوى عالٍ من ناحية التجارب الودية، تجعلنا نلعب في كأس أمم إفريقيا بشكل قوي، ونذهب بأفضل العناصر المتواجدة، تجربة إيجابية جدًا واستفدت منها جدًا، السلبية الوحيدة هي الخسارة التي لا بحبها”.

وأضاف حسام حسن: “الشوط الثاني كان الأداء جيدًا، الشوط الأول كان به أخطاء فردية غريبة، نوع من عدم الجدية في الضغط في الهدف الأول، والهدف الثاني التغطية خلف محمد هاني كانت غير جيدة في قلب الدفاع”.

وأتم: “سعيد بأداء أحمد فتوح وطاهر محمد طاهر وزيزو، قدموا أداءً جيدًا، وهم المستقبل في الفترة المقبلة وتُجْعِلنا نشكل قوامًا جيدًا في كأس أمم إفريقيا”.

Ben Duckett’s 62 in a 122-run stand with Pope held England’s response together after India finished on 471

Vithushan Ehantharajah21-Jun-2025Stumps Saturday in Leeds was a day of opportunities taken and spurned. Unfortunately for India, it was their contribution to the latter that has changed the complexion of this Test match.Having begun the day with Rishabh Pant’s thrill-filled 134, the third century of the innings, India proceeded to lose 7 for 41 to cap their first innings at 471. And yet more profligacy in the field not only allowed Ollie Pope to move to his ninth Test century, but England to close on 209 for 3.Related

Ollie Pope's century buys him the summer at No. 3

Rishabh Pant moves to his own beat

Duckett had 'goosebumps' watching Pope celebrate crucial ton

Stats – Rishabh Pant goes past MS Dhoni

Pope, unbeaten on 100, rests satiated with a second Test hundred in a row following his 171 against Zimbabwe, at a time when his place has been questioned with the precocious yet century-less Jacob Bethell, who is waiting in the wings.Pope rests dreaming of mimicking his Hyderabad epic that dug England out of a similar-sized hole. But India will rue a drop on 60 by Yashasvi Jaiswal at third slip, after Pope had played in the air through that region earlier (when on 48), and where fourth would have been at the very start of his innings when on 10. That he had made all three errors off Jasprit Bumrah was no surprise, particularly as the demonic quick ended up accounting for all three wickets.But just when it looked like Bumrah would head to stumps with a clean record, a third front-foot no ball in his final over of the day ended up giving Harry Brook a life on 0. A brutal short ball was clothed amateurishly by Brook towards midwicket. Umpire Chris Gaffaney, having stuck his arm out for the previously delivery, put his hand to his ear before doing so once more as news of another infringement came through from the television umpire.2:22

Duckett: Bumrah the best in the world

That would have made it 208 for 4 at stumps. India’s frustration was carried in spades by the searing bouncer Bumrah delivered to close out a thrilling day’s play. They could have batted a victory out of England’s reach but instead, the hosts have seven wickets left to claw back more if not all of the remaining deficit of 262.Was it a lack of ruthlessness on Shubman Gill’s first day in the field as India’s Test captain? If so, it was not something anyone could have predicted when he and Pant recommenced India’s first innings on 359 for 3. The first 90 minutes of play was a reassertion of their day one dominance, with Pant at his mischievous best.He was a one-man circus of heaves and tumbles, the first of them coming when he greeted Shoaib Bashir’s first delivery with a fall-away paddle over his shoulder. The second was more choreographed after lifting Bashir over wide midwicket to bring up his seventh hundred as wicketkeeper, from his 146th delivery, this a third century on these shores – no other keeper-batter has more than one – that also sits top of his three-figure knocks for most sixes (six).There were no chances offered, per se, until, on 124, he ran past a delivery from Bashir and was forced to reclaim his ground on his hands and knees, having flung the bat away towards fine leg. Jamie Smith failed to capitalise on the error, but his blushes were saved when Josh Tongue, hidden in the field for most of this session, was able to catch Pant not playing a shot to trap him lbw.2:33

Manjrekar: The world knows how special Pant is

By then, Gill’s own century had been cut off at 147, when he lifted Bashir to Tongue at deep square-leg, angling for his second six and 21st boundary, ending the fourth-wicket stand on 209. Karun Nair had also come and gone, an eight-year hiatus amounting to a four-ball duck when he was plucked gloriously out of the air by Pope at cover.And so, with lunch looming, the thought was India would take it to the break and regroup. Alas, Shardul Thakur brought about an early break when chasing a very wide delivery through to Smith. It gave Ben Stokes figures for 4 for 66, once again the England captain standing out as the best bowler on show.He was soon joined on a four-for by Tongue, who wagged when the tail did not to clean up some untidy figures. The Nottinghamshire quick went from nursing 0 for 78 from 17 to parading 4 for 86 from 20.A tame but delaying shower meant England’s first innings only began at 2.55pm, with ominous looking clouds and a ground illuminated by the floodlights promising movement for Bumrah. He needed just six deliveries to get one bending reality; Zak Crawley turned inside out with one that swung in late and seamed away later, flying through to Nair at face height at first slip.That he would only take 1 for 21 in his opening five overs was through no fault of his own. Though Gill kept a packed cordon for the first 20 overs, the desire to cover more than one position with just one fielder led to Pope’s initial pseudo life on 10 – a Schrödinger’s fourth slip, if you will. But it was at the end of his fourth over that Bumrah had Ben Duckett dropped on 15, by Ravindra Jadeja of all people, at backward point.Duckett would end up moving to his 19th score of fifty or more from 68 deliveries with a fine sweep off Jadeja, marching forward with Pope in a stand of 122 that for the most part actually felt easier than it maybe should have been.On 62, Duckett drove a thick edge onto his stumps to hand Bumrah his third, met with an exclamation from the 31-year-old that spoke of the fact his frustration was steadily morphing into anger. From that point on, it was Pope who seized the initiative a little more, dwarfing Joe Root (42 to 28) in an 80-run stand where he seemed like the more established pro.Mohammed Siraj emerged from a patchy first spell to hold his own and one end, and seemingly had Root on toast. For a moment, he thought he had him outright, lbw for 7, with the impact in front of the stumps and the right-hand batter selling it well with a stumble over to the off side. But a review would take that from Siraj, with HawkEye projecting the delivery would miss leg stump, forcing umpire Paul Reiffel to overturn his decision.Pope, though, was making hay while Bumrah was powering back up. He had already got away with a flinch outside off that Jaiswal, diving low to his right, should have held. Bumrah’s reaction was to open his arms out to the cordon as if to ask “WHY?!” Understandably, given he had opened the evening session and been immediately dabbed through a vacant third by Pope, who moved to 52 from 74 deliveries.1:12

Manjrekar: Stokes makes England a dangerous side

The remainder of the No. 3’s crisp 100 took just 51 deliveries more, helped by Thakur’s lack of pace, which allowed him to drive on the up through the covers, before a stylish back cut off Prasidh Krishna’s extra pace. The latter decided to be more forceful in his approach to Pope, offering a few choice words along with some short stuff. Pope responded with a well-executed pull-flip over to the fine-leg fence for a one bounce for, clearing the man up around the corner with ease, and taking deep square-leg out of the game entirely.Bumrah’s return for two overs at the end was always going to give us a final shot of drama. A thick inside edge into the leg side brought Pope his century, and as good a reason as any to let the frustrations of talk in the media and behind his back flow out in a cathartic, satisfying roar, punching the air with a mix of relief and glee. It was by no means a convincing way to move to such a landmark, but the fact he walked at Bumrah was an apt reminder of the guts he showed throughout this knock.Joy was short-lived when Root finally succumbed to a teaser outside off. But an over later, Bumrah’s journey to anger had been completed. Brook’s reprieve was all the more irksome for India considering the efforts of Siraj to take the catch running back at midwicket.India still have the surer footing in this match, with England resuming on Sunday 63 off the follow-on target. But they have relinquished the opportunity to be the sole drivers of this match.

Tottenham Hotspur are now battling north London rivals Arsenal for the signature of a young French defender who has a “rare quality”.

Spurs looking defensively solid since Frank's arrival

Despite leading Tottenham to Europa League glory, Ange Postecoglou received widespread criticism for his inability to make his side defensively sound, conceding a whopping 65 goals in the Premier League alone last season, which resulted in a 17th-place finish.

Since Thomas Frank’s arrival, however, Spurs have looked much more solid at the back, according to former midfielder Danny Murphy, who said: “He’s fixing the main problem that Tottenham had last year, which is why they finished 17th. They conceded so many goals and they were wide open.

Tottenham now in contact to sign "complete" fast winger ahead of Rangers

He would be one for the future for Spurs.

ByHenry Jackson Oct 12, 2025

“He’s gone in there and gone, ‘We’re going to be better defensively, first and foremost, and we’ll sacrifice the looking great and creativity for a little while.”

It has been an impressive start to the season for Frank’s side, having collected 14 points from their opening seven games, and their improved defensive record suggests the Dane may not need to bolster his options at the back anytime soon.

However, according to a report from Caught Offside, Tottenham have now joined the race for a new centre-back, namely FC Nantes defender Tylel Tati, who is also being targeted by Arsenal, and a number of Europe’s top clubs.

Tati is a versatile player, also capable of slotting in at left-back and defensive midfield, and he has caught the eye of Barcelona, Manchester United and Liverpool, with scouts being sent to watch the 17-year-old in action.

Born in Paris’ eastern suburbs around 11km from the birthplace of current French sensation William Saliba, if the teenager is able to continue his current rate of development, there is a feeling he could be ready to move to a Champions League side in 2026.

Tati has one "rare quality" that sets him apart

The French youngster has emerged as a key first-team player for Nantes this season, which is no mean feat at just 17, and Stéphane Ziani, director of the training centre, believes the starlet has one key strength that sets him apart.

Ziani said: “Tylel has this rare quality of reading the game before the others. And he has a good head on his shoulders.”

Perhaps the youngster’s most impressive performance to date came in a 1-0 defeat against Strasbourg back in August, winning every duel he contested and making a number of other important defensive contributions.

Tati is clearly a very talented young player, but signing a new centre-back should not be Tottenham’s priority heading into the January transfer window, given their improved defensive performances since Frank’s arrival.

Instead, it would be a smart move to bring in a new left-winger, having arguably failed to replace Son Heung-min, with AFC Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo of interest, although it could take a club-record £75m offer to get a deal done.

The international break will have come at a welcome time for Rangers and under-fire boss, Russell Martin, with the former Scotland defender having endured a miserable start to life at Ibrox.

Four points from four in the Premiership, alongside a Champions League qualifying embarrassment, has already plunged the ex-Southampton boss into crisis. Can he turn it around?

There’s no hiding from what was a miserable August, although nothing has been decided yet. The season is only in its infancy.

With 14 new signings needing to properly bed in to life in Glasgow, it may still be too soon to properly judge Martin’s tenure, albeit with the pressure on considering the nature of their summer outlay.

Roughly £30m was reportedly spent by the Gers during the most recent window, with the most notable investment having been the £8m that was splashed out on goal-shy Everton youngster, Youssef Chermiti.

That eye-watering fee – which could rise to £10m with add-ons – will bring with it a lefty weight of expectation. Is the Portuguese striker worth the risk?

Youssef Chermiti's record pre-Rangers

Three goals in 22 games for Sporting Lisbon. No goals in 24 senior outings for the Toffees. A record that points to Rangers – and former Everton chief Kevin Thelwell – gambling on potential rather than proven quality.

It is a “heck of a gamble” at that, in the words of club legend Ally McCoist, with there little evidence to suggest that Chermiti will prove to be a success in Scottish football, amid his recent woes on Merseyside.

Signed on a £15m deal by the Premier League side back in the summer of 2023, the 21-year-old has been reduced to bit-part status since then, albeit with then-boss Sean Dyche admitting in 2024 that he was recruited as a “development player” who would have fared better with a loan move.

Rather than a temporary exit, Chermiti has now secured a permanent switch to Scotland, thus marking the club’s most expensive outlay since the £12m capture of Tore Andre Flo back in 2000.

The merits of such a deal can be debated long into the night, with the Portugal youth international – who has scored seven times in 75 recorded games at academy and senior level, as per Transfermarkt – in need of a positive start to try and win over an expectant fanbase.

That said, the Light Blues’ extensive recruitment can help ease the burden on the marquee new addition, with Bojan Miovski likely to be the main man in attack for Martin and co instead.

Bojan Miovski's market value

If Chermiti is the long-term expensive gamble, then Miovski appears to be the perfect alternative, providing an experienced, ‘proven’ option who has already delivered the goods in the Premiership.

Market Movers

Described as a player who “does everything” during his time at Aberdeen by Billy Dodds, due to his impressive scoring rate and link-up play, the Macedonian marksman could prove a real coup following his £2.6m switch.

Indeed, while Chermiti is yet to flourish at first-team level, the 26-year-old has more than proven his worth in recent years, having notably scored 44 times in 98 games during his time at Pittodrie.

That impressive haul included a fine record on the big occasion, with Miovski scoring four times from just nine meetings with Rangers in all competitions, alongside netting three times in eight games against Celtic.

While a return of four goals in 23 games for Girona last term is hardly the most eye-catching, the clinical number nine has already been there and done it for the Dons, a fact that pundit Andy Walker believes will make him a “better signing” than his new teammate:

That fact is also reinforced when considering what Miovski’s actual market value is, with the Gers having seemingly secured a bargain when considering their £2.6m investment.

As per the great minds at CIES Football Observatory, the 33-cap international has a peak value of as much as €16m (£14m), eclipsing the figure that was dished out on Chermiti.

While Rangers won’t be looking to cash in on their new addition any time soon, that valuation does point to them striking a significant profit in the years to come.

Better than Chermiti: Rangers must regret selling "rapid" star for just £4m

After signing Youssef Chermiti for an enormous fee of £8m, would Rangers have been better off keeping a “rapid” attacker sold for £4m?

RCB had slipped to 42 for 4 in the seventh over, before the middle order smashed 64 runs in the last five overs

ESPNcricinfo staff02-Apr-2025Mohammed Siraj has done his siuuu celebration a number of times at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in the last seven years. Most times, it has been met with a roaring response. On Wednesday, he went on his celebratory run twice in the powerplay to pindrop silence.Having not been retained by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ahead of IPL 2025, Siraj had a point to prove. And he did it in some style by picking 3 for 19 off his four overs for Gujarat Titans (GT). But despite his economical show, RCB finished with 169 for 8 in their 20 overs, thanks largely to Liam Livingstone’s 40-ball 54, and Tim David and Jitesh Sharma’s cameos.Shubman Gill had no hesitation in fielding first, and his decision was vindicated with both Siraj and Arshad Khan working up good speeds. Siraj was driven for a four by Virat Kohli through covers, but Arshad soon snared him as Kohli helped a nonchalant back-of-a-length ball to deep-backward square leg.Siraj, meanwhile, was finding his lengths perfectly, and was targeting the stumps as he castled Devdutt Padikkal, who was looking to go over mid-off. Phil Salt had his moments when he was dropped by Jos Buttler, and then had a run-out chance missed by Siraj, but his luck soon ran out. Salt tonked a 95-metre six over deep midwicket, but the very next ball, had his off pole flattened by a 145.9kph Siraj thunderbolt.Rajat Patidar was caught plumb in front by Ishant Sharma as RCB slipped to 42 for 4 in 6.2 overs. Livingstone and Jitesh had a crucial 52-run stand off just 38 balls for the fifth wicket, with the latter being the aggressor.R Sai Kishore then got rid of Jitesh and Krunal Pandya in quick succession to silence the home crowd again. Livingstone then took on Rashid Khan, thrashing him for three sixes in an over to provide RCB the much-needed impetus. RCB smashed 64 runs in their last five overs, with David doing the bulk of the scoring as he fell off the final ball for an 18-ball 32.

Here's a detailed look at Aston Villa's 10 most expensive signings: 10 Lucas Digne £25m from Everton

Left-back Lucas Digne moved to Villa Park from Everton in January 2022 under Steven Gerrard, and the Frenchman has gone on to become a regular under Emery.

Despite Emery bringing in Alex Moreno, Digne mainly remained first-choice during the manager’s first full season in charge.

9 Evann Guessand £26m from Nice

Evann Guessand was Villa’s only real marquee signing in the summer of 2025, with the forward costing around £26m from French side Nice.

An Ivory Coast international, Guessand was a man in-demand and can play anywhere across the front line.

8 Diego Carlos £26.8m from Sevilla

Defender Diego Carlos had his injury troubles after signing for Aston Villa.

The Brazilian joined Villa in 2022 and was named vice-captain under Gerrard, before rupturing his Achilles tendon on his home debut. He was sold to Fenerbahce on a permanent deal in 2025.

7 Leon Bailey £30m from Bayer Leverkusen

Winger Leon Bailey arrived from Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen in 2021, but the Jamaican is another who has had his battles in the treatment room.

Bailey had his best season for Villa in 2023/24, scoring 10 goals and providing nine assists in 35 Premier League games but was sent on loan to Roma in 2025.

6 Ollie Watkins £30m from Brentford

Arguably one of Villa’s best-value signings in the top 10 is striker Ollie Watkins, who arrived at Villa Park from Brentford with no previous Premier League experience.

The forward has starred under numerous different managers, scoring more than 10 Premier League goals in each of his five seasons.

5 Pau Torres £31.5m from Villarreal

Centre-back Pau Torres was one of Emery’s top targets in the summer of 2023 after previously working with his compatriot at Villarreal.

NSWE managed to bring Torres to the Midlands, and it is a decision that has paid off so far, with the Spaniard under contract until 2028.

4 Emiliano Buendia £33m from Norwich

Aston Villa won the race to sign Emiliano Buendia from Norwich City in 2021 after the Argentinian’s starring years at Carrow Road, pipping the likes of Arsenal to a deal.

Unfortunately for Buendia, he missed the entirety of the 2023/24 season through injury, but he is under contract until 2026.

3 Ian Maatsen £37.5m from Chelsea

After he starred out on loan with Borussia Dortmund, Aston Villa made the permanent move to sign left-back Ian Maatsen from Chelsea.

Costing around £37.5m, Maatsen signed a six-year deal at the time and is under contract until 2030.

2 Amadou Onana £50m from Everton

Central midfielder Amadou Onana also arrived at Villa Park in 2024 ahead of their Champions League campaign, costing £50m from Everton.

The Belgian was a shining light with the Toffees and is under contract with Villa until 2029.

1 Moussa Diaby £51.9m from Bayer Leverkusen

Top of the charts and Villa’s record signing is Moussa Diaby, who like Bailey, arrived from Bayer Leverkusen.

The winger quickly became a key player under Emery and helped the club to a top-four finish in 2023/24. However, Diaby then made the move to Saudi Arabia with Al-Ittihad, who paid around £50m for the Frenchman.

Newcastle United aren’t giving up on their chase to sign an attacking reinforcement and are now reportedly set to take their next key step towards their top target.

Eddie Howe admits Newcastle "frustration"

The Magpies have faced an endless brick wall in pursuit of their top targets so far this summer – whether it’s been Joao Pedro, Bryan Mbeumo or Hugo Ekitike. Reports are now even suggesting that Manchester City could hijack their move to sign Burnley shot-stopper James Trafford. But Eddie Howe and everyone else involved at St James’ Park are not giving up on welcoming much-needed reinforcements just yet.

The Newcastle boss shared his thoughts on a frustrating summer recently, admitting that Newcastle were hoping to get any business done early but have simply been unable to get deals over the line.

All involved in Tyneside will be desperate not to miss out on any more targets and reports are now suggesting that they’re working to ensure that their striker problem is finally solved.

Newcastle expected to take key Wissa step

As reported by GiveMeSport, Newcastle are now expected to submit an improved offer to sign Yoane Wissa after Brentford rejected their opening bid worth around £25m. Whether that second bid, which will reportedly be worth £30m, is successful remains to be seen, but the striker has told the Bees he wants to leave.

Their new Ba: Newcastle confident of signing "remarkable" £50m star

Newcastle are weighing up a move for Brentford’s star man after move for Ekitike falls through.

ByWill Miller Jul 23, 2025

Having already lost Mbeumo, Brentford are reportedly demanding as much as £50m to sell Wissa this summer. Given that he has just one year left on his current deal and has already left the Bees’ pre-season camp amid transfer speculation, however, there could yet be room to negotiate that valuation.

A player who former Brentford manager and new Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank described as “incredible” alongside Mbeumo last season, it’s clear to see why Newcastle want Wissa.

The Brentford star would provide immediate backup for Isak, who has already suffered an injury concern in pre-season, and could even partner the all-important Swede.

O Palmeiras derrotou o Cuiabá por 2 a 1 na tarde deste sábado (15), no Allianz Parque, pela estreia no Campeonato Brasileiro. Na saída de campo após o confronto, o goleiro Weverton comentou ao canal Premiere sobre a sua grande defesa no fim da partida, que garantiu os três pontos ao Verdão, e falou da fase do argentino Flaco López, que marcou quatro gols nos últimos quatro jogos do Alviverde.

+ ATUAÇÕES: Flaco López brilha novamente em vitória do Palmeiras na estreia no Brasileirão

– Fazer uma defesa ali nos acréscimos que ajuda a sair com a vitória é o ‘gol’ do goleiro. Não tem prazer maior para o goleiro do que fazer uma defesa que ajuda a equipe. Depois ter o seu nome gritado pela torcida, isso não tem preço, estou muito feliz. Esse é o Campeonato Brasileiro de muita dificuldade, não vai existir jogo fácil nem equipe fácil se não competir em alto nível e se não se dedicar até o fim. Jogo perigoso, mas estamos felizes com a vitória e pelos três pontos – disse Weverton.

O goleiro ainda parabenizou o atacante Flaco López, que vive ótimo momento no Palmeiras, destacando também a postura de confiança do técnico Abel Ferreira de não desistir de nenhum atleta, mesmo com críticas da torcida.

-Ele merece, eu até falei no vestiário depois do jogo, especialmente pra ele, para o Navarro, que a lei da semeadura não falha, eles colhem exatamente o que eles plantam, e plantam muito trabalho, muita dedicação. Ele (Flaco) está colhendo agora o que ele tem plantado no dia a dia. Eu vejo ele na Academia, no suplemento, toda a sua dedicação junto com o Navarro também. Está de parabéns.

– Agradecer também ao Abel, porque eu agradeci a ele por nunca desistir de ninguém. Às vezes é mais fácil deixar de lado quando a torcida está pegando no pé do que colocar pra jogar e assumir esse risco, e ele assumiu porque confia em cada um deles. O Flaco merece tudo que está vivendo, a gente agradece porque quando ele faz gol, a gente fica muito feliz – concluiu.

Após a vitória na estreia do Brasileirão, o Verdão volta a campo na próxima quinta-feira (20), diante do Cerro Porteño-PAR, pela fase de grupos da Libertadores. A bola rola às 21h no estádio do Morumbi, já que o Allianz Parque receberá um evento musical na data da partida.

It looks as though Nottingham Forest are set to lose Anthony Elanga this summer, with Newcastle United submitting a new and improved £55m bid recently.

Forest rejected the first bid of £45m, but it remains to be seen whether this new one could seal the deal.

Elanga registered 18 goal contributions last term and should he leave, it would leave a major void to fill in the club’s attack.

Nuno Espírito Santo will be working tirelessly to bring in a replacement for the Swedish winger. And he could turn to Ligue 1 to do so.

Nottingham Forest already working on Elanga replacement

At the start of July, Fabrizio Romano claimed that Forest had agreed on a deal with French side Lyon to sign Malick Fofana this summer.

Other clubs are sniffing around the talented forward, however, notably Chelsea, and this could perhaps impact his final decision.

Last season, the Belgian starlet scored 11 times for the Ligue 1 side, while also chipping in with six assists.

He shone in the Europa League, with eight of his goal involvements coming in that competition and considering Forest will be playing in Europe next term, he is exactly the type of player required for Santo.

Fofana is still raw, however, and there is no doubt there is plenty of development needed by the youngster to make it to the very top.

Could the City Ground outfit perhaps land an alternative to the Belgian maestro? Especially someone with plenty of Premier League experience.

Forest can land Yoane Wissa as an Elanga upgrade

Forest reportedly lodged a £22m bid for Yoane Wissa back in January and have now shown interest in signing the player this summer.

Indeed, it was reported last month that Forest were willing to bid again for the Brentford forward, with the Bees looking for a fee in the region of £34m.

Yoane Wissa’s stats in the PL for Brentford (2024/25)
Goals	19
Assists	4
Big chances created	3
Key passes per game	0.8
Shots per game	2.6
Successful dribbles per game	0.4

Hailed as “unbelievable” by former Brentford manager Thomas Frank, Wissa can operate either on the wing or up front, giving Santo plenty of options with the DR Congo international.

Last season for the Bees, he scored 20 goals and grabbed five assists, which trumps Elanga’s output by seven. For context, the aforementioned Fofana registered 11 goals and six assists in all competitions last term.

Furthermore, Wissa also registered more shots per 90 (2.77 vs 1.58), more total shots (90 vs 44), touches in the attacking penalty area (163 vs 110) and had a greater percentage success with take-ons (30.6% vs 30.1%) in the Premier League last season.

This proves that the Brentford star would be an upgrade on Elanga ahead of next season. Not only can he play either upfront or on the flanks, but his eye for goal is far greater than the Swedes.

If the reported fee of £34m is correct, there is no doubt Santo could land a bargain signing with Wissa. With bigger clubs circling around Fofana, it looks unlikely that he will move to the City Ground this summer.

A more realistic option is Wissa. Given his stats, he could even turn out to be even better for Forest than the young Belgian.

The next Murillo: Nottingham Forest lining up bid for £13m sensation

As Nuno Espírito Santo looks to bolster his Nottingham Forest backline, could they sign a “quality” centre-back who could be the next Murillo?
