Profit Players: Newcastle could yield a hefty profit for Sean Longstaff

This article forms part of our Profit Players feature series, which is where Football Transfer Tavern takes a look at how well a player has fared since being signed or sold, using statistical figures and statements from pundits to prove how good of a deal the club managed to achieve.

Sean Longstaff made his debut under Spanish manager Rafael Benitez in the Carabao Cup second round tie against Championship team Nottingham Forest in August 2018 and has arguably not looked back since.

In the 2018/19 season under Rafa, he made 13 senior appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals and providing one assist, according to Transfermarkt.

Longstaff’s relatively impressive performances throughout the campaign earned high praise from his coach, as he was likened to former Manchester United, Tottenham and England central midfield player Michael Carrick, as per The Guardian.

By March 2019, the academy product was already valued on the market at £2.25m (as per Transfermarkt), and this figure has increased ever since. By the end of that season, Longstaff’s market value rose to £6.3m (as per Transfermarkt) just in time for a new season, but this time he would be playing under Steve Bruce.

The 22-year old has played in 26 games in all competitions so far in the 2019/20 campaign, netting once and providing two assists (via Transfermarkt).

Longstaff’s market value reached a peak of £19.8m in December of last year and he is currently valued at £15.75m by Transfermarkt

Despite the fall in value, probably caused by the financial crisis that has affected the footballing world following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the Magpies would be set to yield a rather hefty profit if they were to decide to sell the Englishman in any transfer window.

However, Longstaff may wish to stay given that the prospective takeover in the northeast by Amanda Staveley’s Saudi-led consortium from current owner Mike Ashley could still be approved by the Premier League.

Geordies, should Newcastle consider selling Longstaff for a possibly hefty profit? Comment below!

موندو: جايا يعود إلى رادار برشلونة مع اقتراب انتهاء عقده

عاد مدافع وظهير أيسر الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي فالنسيا، خوسيه لويس جايا، على رادار برشلونة في الأيام الأخيرة مع اقتراب انتهاء عقده مع الخفافيش.

يدخل جايا موسمه الأخير مع فالنسيا، سينتهي عقده الحالي في يونيو 2022 وبالتالي قد يرحل مجانًا ولذلك يترقب برشلونة وضعه داخل قلعة “ميستايا”.

انتهى سوق الانتقالات الصيفية ولكن العمل داخل برشلونة لا ينتهي، خاصة وأن الإدارة الرياضية في العملاق الكتالونية، بحسب صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو” الكتالونية، ترغب في تدعيم الفريق بالموسم المقبل بصفقات مميزة.

يريد برشلونة تدعيم مركز الظهير الأيسر وإيجاد بديل مناسب مع، جوردي ألبا، بعد رحيل جونيور فيربو إلى ليدز يونايتد في سوق الانتقالات الصيفية.

لا يجد النادي الكتالوني لاعب أفضل من جايا للتعاقد معه في مركز الظهير الأيسر خاصة وأنه يقدم أداءً جيدًا مع فالنسيا ومنتخب إسبانيا.

الجدير بالذكر أن جايا شارك في مباراة إسبانيا وجورجيا يوم، الأحد الماضي، أساسيًا والتي فاز الماتدور بها بنتيجة 4-0 في تصفيات كأس العالم 2022.

Rizek compara Palmeiras e Botafogo, e analisa atitude do Alvinegro: 'Está claro'

MatériaMais Notícias

O apresentador André Rizek analisou o momento vivido pelo Botafogo antes do duelo pela liderança do Brasileirão, contra o Palmeiras, nesta terça-feira (26). Durante o programa “Seleção Sportv”, o jornalista comparou os clubes e citou “dificuldade tática” do time de Artur Jorge. Rizek também falou sobre a decisão do Alvinegro de convocar uma coletiva um dia antes da partida no Allianz Parque.

➡️ Palmeiras x Botafogo: vidente crava favorito para jogo decisivo no Brasileirão

– Em 2023 era claro que foi vexame, amarelada. Esse ano, claro que tem o aspecto emocional, mas eu acho que há outras questões. O Palmeiras, até quando não joga bem, dá um jeito de vencer. O Botafogo me dá impressão que só consegue vencer quando joga bem. O Botafogo encarou Atlético-MG, Cuiabá, Vitória e Criciúma. Foram adversários que jogaram no campo de defesa e obrigaram o Botafogo a arrumar situações que ele não conseguiu ter. 70% de posse, 500 mil cruzamentos na área… É uma dificuldade tática de não conseguir furar esses times entrincheirados – disse Rizek.

– Por que o Botafogo convocou uma entrevista coletiva? Eu já tenho a resposta, para mim está claro. Para dizer que eles estão ‘muitíssimo bem mentalmente’. Eu contei 4 vezes o Artur Jorge fazendo questão de afirmar que o Botafogo está bem mentalmente. Eu não sou psicólogo e não vou fazer psicologia de botequim, mas se tiver psicólogo assistindo ao programa, convido para dizer o que isso quer dizer na psicologia: um paciente que fique reafirmando ‘eu estou muito bem, eu estou muito bem’. O que isso quer dizer na psicologia? – analisou o apresentador.

فيديو | فرنسا تعود للانتصارات بثنائية جريزمان أمام فنلندا في تصفيات كأس العالم 2022

قاد أنطوان جريزمان، منتخب بلاده فرنسا، للفوز بثنائية نظيفة أمام فنلندا، في تصفيات أوروبا المؤهلة لكأس العالم 2022، بعد تعادلين متتاليين.

وتواجهت فرنسا مع فنلندا في إطار منافسات الجولة السادسة من التصفيات الأوروبية المؤهلة لمونديال قطر، على ملعب فرنسا.

وكان المنتخب الفرنسي قد تعادل في الجولتين الماضيتين أمام البوسنة والهرسك وأوكرانيا، بهدف لمثله في كل مباراة.

وفي لقاء الليلة أمام فنلندا، تقدم جريزمان بهدف أول لفرنسا في الدقيقة 25 من عمر المباراة، بعد تمريرة ثنائية مع بنزيما، لتصل الكرة له ويسجل.

انتهت المباراة بفوز فرنسا بهدفين دون رد، لترفع رصيدها إلى 12 نقطة في صدارة المجموعة، ويتوقف رصيد فنلندا عند 5 نقاط في المركز الثاني، متساوية مع أوكرانيا صاحبة المركز الثالث، ثم البوسنة والهرسك بنقطتين، وتتذيل كازاخستان بنقطتين. أهداف مباراة فرنسا وفنلندا

Liverpool must keep hold of Harry Wilson this summer

If Liverpool needed any evidence of how the current situation surrounding the world has impacted them, then seeing Timo Werner inching closer to joining Chelsea is surely that.

Reports in recent weeks and months had seemed to suggest the RB Leipzig striker was heading to Anfield this summer, and that Jurgen Klopp himself had told the Liverpool board of his wish for the Germany international’s signing.

But with Werner heading for Stamford Bridge, it’s been claimed the Reds have set their sights on Wolves ace Adama Traore. And whilst the Spaniard may be a shrewd alternative to the Leipzig man, perhaps Klopp should look closer to home when it comes to reinforcing his attack for next season.

Can you spot your Xabi Alonso from your Bruno Cheyrou? This Liverpool quiz will have you questioning your knowledge…

World Class score: 95% | Expert score: 80% | Veteran score: 65% | Intermediate score: 45% | Amateur score: 30% | Try Again: 5%

Step forward, Harry Wilson. The Wales international has spent this current campaign on loan at fellow Premier League side Bournemouth, and it was recently confirmed that his spell with the Cherries has been extended until the end of the season.

The Liverpool Echo’s Ian Doyle has now claimed that Wilson’s long-term future is up in the air, with it unlikely that Klopp’s side will receive a big-money fee for him to leave on a permanent basis given the current circumstances.

And based on his performances in the last couple of seasons, the Liverpool boss should finally give the winger a chance to succeed at Anfield.

Last year saw Wilson turn out for promotion-chasing Derby County, and he almost fired them into the Premier League with his performances in the Championship. He struck 15 times in 40 league games, and has shown the ability to play in English football’s top-flight with his impressive performances for Bournemouth.

In just 23 games for Eddie Howe’s side, he has found the back of the net seven times, including a brace against Tottenham, and a superb strike against Liverpool’s title rivals Manchester City.

As the Reds chase for success on multiple fronts next season, having someone like Wilson as an option, whether off the bench, or as someone to ease the burden on Mohamed Salah and give him a much-needed rest in certain games, Klopp would be foolish to let him go permanently this summer.

Instead of first paying top dollar for Traore, the Liverpool manager should seriously consider giving Wilson the opportunity to really stake his claim and see whether he can save millions in the transfer market for the Merseyside club.

Glasgow Rangers: Gers flop Pedro Caixinha set for stunning return to football

Former Glasgow Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha is set to return to football as the manager of Mexican outfit Tigres.

The Portuguese boss is a record-breaker at Ibrox, becoming the club’s shortest-serving permanent manager when he was sacked after just 229 days in the hot-seat, and has been out of a job for just under a year after being relieved of his duties by fellow Mexican outfit Cruz Azul. Now, though, it is being reported by Tele Diario that Tigres, one of the biggest and most well-supported clubs in the country, could well give him the top job.

This is likely to shock plenty of the Gers supporters given his poor record north of the border where he won just 14 of the 27 games he managed. Indeed, BBC Sport’s Tom English described his reign as “a desperate mess from start to finish.”

But he does have good pedigree in the North American country. As manager of Santos Laguna, he won both the domestic league and cup, whilst he also finished top of the table with Cruz Azul.

It seems the move to Scotland was not right for Caixinha, despite him spending a fair amount of money on the likes of Carlos Pena and Eduardo Herrera. Still, he appears to have found the right place for himself on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
