Endrick não foi inscrito pelo Alviverde na Copa São Paulo de Futebol de Júnior de 2023 e faz parte dos planos do técnico Abel Ferreira para o elenco principal na próxima temporada. O atacante deve ser peça importante no sistema da equipe, ao lado de Raphael Veiga, Dudu e Rony.

No dia 15 de dezembro, Palmeiras, Real Madrid e Endrick acertaram os últimos detalhes da negociação. O valor total será de 72 milhões de euros (R$ 407 milhões), sendo que 60 milhões de euros (R$ 339 milhões) serão divididos entre o Palmeiras e o jogador, e o restante será por conta do Real Madrid, que bancará intermediários e impostos envolvidos na transferência. A quantia recebida pelo Alviverde tem uma parte fixa (maior) e outra que envolve bônus por metas alcançadas por Endrick. Os valores dessa divisão não foram confirmados ao LANCE!.

O contrato de Endrick com o clube espanhol será até 2027, mas com renovação para mais três anos, ou seja, 2030.

Aos 16 anos, Endrick foi promovido ao profissional em 2022 após ser peça-chave para o Palmeiras na base, sendo o protagonista no inédito título da Copinha, onde foi eleito o craque da competição. Vale lembrar que o atacante assinou seu primeiro contrato profissional em julho, quando completou idade para isso.

*ERRATA – Conforme noticiado anteriormente pelo LANCE!, o atacante Endrick, do Palmeiras, ainda não está em solo espanhol. Correção feita às 18h25.

Pep Guardiola says it will be "almost impossible" to replace Kevin De Bruyne at Manchester City but stopped short of calling for a U-turn on his exit.

• De Bruyne set to leave Man City
• "Almost impossible" to replace him
• Guardiola addresses chances of exit U-turn

• WHAT HAPPENED?

  The Belgian international announced that this season at City would be his last and that he would run down his contract this summer, something he was not entirely happy with. Some fans have hoped that his recent upturn in performances, including the winner against Wolves on Friday, would make the club change their minds. And while manager Guardiola talked up the 33-year-old, it seems a new deal will not be in the offing.

  WHAT GUARDIOLA SAID

  He said about De Bruyne on Sky Sports: "Just thank you. His contribution in the game against Crystal Palace when we were 2-0 down and he delivers and today the goal again. I'm happy that it is finishing that way, and we have one more game in the Etihad."

  On whether his stay could be extended, he replied: "I want the best for Kevin so it cannot be possible to have done these many years without him. He has been an incredible player but the situation is what it is. It's almost impossible to replace this kind of player. It is not just the performance, it is what he means to the heart for our fans for many, many years. The success we have belongs to the players."

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  De Bruyne will go down as City's greatest-ever player and will make it into many all-time Premier League XI's because of what he's done at City over the past decade. But time waits for no man, with the ex-Chelsea player increasingly struggling with injuries, and his consistency is, arguably, not what it was. He is on a huge salary, and as a result, there will be a parting of the ways but there could be one last hurrah this term via the FA Cup.

  WHAT NEXT?

  De Bruyne's next City game could be away to already relegated Southampton next Saturday in the Premier League.

استرجع الحكم الدولي محمد عادل، كواليس أزمة التسريب الصوتي، خلال إدارته مباراة الزمالك والبنك الأهلي، في دوري الموسم الماضي.

وكانت المحادثة التي جرت بين محمد عادل، وحكم تقنية الـvar ميدو سلامة، قد تم نشرها على إحدى القنوات الفضائية، ما دفع الحكم الدولي للجوء للقضاء.

طالع| خاص | مفاجأة بشأن موقف محمد عادل من مطابقة صوته مع التسريب الصوتي

وكانت مباراة الزمالك والبنك الأهلي قد أثارت جدلًا واسعًا بسبب القرارات التحكيمية، وخاصة بعد انتشار تسريب صوتي منسوب لمحمد عادل حكم المباراة وميدو سلامة حكم الـvar.

وقال محمد عادل، في تصريحات لبرنامج ملعب أون سبورت على قناة أون سبورتس: “رئيس لجنة الحكام لم يطلبنا للخضوع لاختبارات اللياقة البدنية، لا يوجد سن للحكم، لكنه لم يستدعينا، ولذلك يمكن أن نُستدعى بعد ذلك”.

وتابع: “أنا ظللت 20 سنة ضابط شرطة، ولم أظهر بعد أزمة التسريبات وأخذت حقي بالقانون”.

وأضاف: “ما حدث عقب المباراة أن أحد العاملين بلجنة الحكام الرئيسية استولى على التسجيل وعرضه على أحد الإعلاميين الكبار لإذاعته، وهذا الإعلامي طرده وقال له أنا مش بتاع تسريبات، فذهب وعرضه على الاثنين المتهمين في القضية وأذاعاه (يقصد إبراهيم فايق وأحمد عبد الباسط)”.

وأكمل: “أثناء التحقيقات في النيابة العامة، المتهمان رفضا الإفصاح عن مصدرهما، والنيابة قررت تحويلهما للمحكمة، ولجأنا للإعلامي الذي عُرض عليه المقطع الصوتي في البداية وطرد الشخص الذي أتي بالتسجيل له، لكنه اعتذر بشياكة وأدب نظرًا لحساسية العلاقة بينه وبين أحد المتهمين”.

وواصل: “المحكمة أصدرت حكم أول درجة في 22 فبراير الماضي، وقالت في أسباب الحكم قيام المتهمين بإذاعة المقطع الصوتي وعدم إذاعته كاملًا وحذف جزء منه لتحقيق مشاهدات لحساباتهما، وتم تغريم كل واحد منهما مليون جنيه و50 ألف جنيه تعويضًا مدنيا”.

وكشف: “استئنفا على الحكم، وتم تخفيض الغرامة لـ 100 ألف جنيه، والمحكمة قالت إن المتهمين لم يأتيا بجديد لتغيير حكم المحكمة، والقضية انتهت”.

وأكمل: “أنا لم أكن متخيل هذا الأمر، من وقت ما خرجت من المباراة الصحفيين قالوا لي إن أحد أعضاء لجنة التحكيم أرسل لنا سكريبت إنه تم إيقافك، ويبدو أن الأمر كان مُدبرا من البداية، ما حدث لن يجعل أي أحد بعد ذلك يقوم بتسريب أي مقطع صوتي للفار”.

وأردف: “المنوط الأول بأن يطلب التحقيق في الأمر من البداية هو اتحاد الكرة، لكنه لم يحرك ساكنًا ولجنة الحكام الرئيسية لم تتحرك، إلا بعض الأصدقاء مثل سامي هلهل ومحمد صلاح عبد الفتاح، وثلاثة آخرين، غير ذلك لا يوجد شيء، والكابتن محمد فاروق صُدم مما حدث، ورحل بعد الواقعة”.

وكشف: “أرسلوا لنا في الاتحاد لجلسة استماع، أنا قلت لنفسي إن المحقق سيقول كيف تم تسريب المحادثة، لكني فوجئت أنه يقول لي إن الدنيا مقلوبة عشان أنا قلت الله يخربيتك يا ميدو، فكانت جلسة تحقيق أشبه بالكوميديا السوداء، فوجئت بأحد أعضاء اللجنة دخل وقال نحن سنعلن عبر الصفحة الرسمية للاتحاد من أجل الحفاظ على شكل التحكيم، قلت له لا أنا سأحول الأمر للنيابة العامة، والموضوع بالنسبة لي كان سينتهي لو كان المتهمين اعتذارا لي من البداية، لكن هذا لم يتم”.

وواصل: “أنا عدت بعد صدور حكم أول درجة، جهاد جريشة هو من طالبني بالعودة للتحكيم بالتزامن مع قدوم أوسكار رويز، والأخير رحب جدًا، وعدت بالفعل للمباريات، وحدثت واقعة في أول مباراة أدرتها بعد الأزمة في دوري المحترفين، وبعد المباراة أحد الناديين تقدم ضدي بشكوى رسمية”.

وكشف: “أوسكار رويز استدعاني لمناقشة الشكوى، فحصلت على شريط المباراة كاملًا وتناقشنا في الحالات وأثبت أن الشكوى كانت كيدية، واتضح أن النادي الذي تقدم بهذه الشكوى بدفع من أحد أعضاء لجنة الحكام”.

واختتم: “أوسكار رويز قال لي أنا أول مرة أرى فريقا فائزا ويقدم شكوى ضد الحكم، قلت له هل تعلم من السبب وراء ذلك، قال من قلت له هذا الشخص وأشرت له، وهذا الشخص مازال موجودًا في لجنة الحكام حتى الآن”.

An “incredible” Liverpool player who featured against PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday night could still exit Anfield before the February 3rd transfer deadline, according to a report.

Reds finish top of the Champions League

Despite failing to win for the first time in the Champions League this season, the Reds finished top of the league phase after collecting a very impressive 21 points in eight games.

Arne Slot’s side now advance straight to the round of 16, standing them in good stead to win Europe’s elite competition for the seventh time, and they will be pleased to avoid having to play an additional two games in the play-off round.

With the Premier League title-hopefuls still competing on all fronts, they can now turn their attention back to their pursuit of domestic glory, with everything also still to play for in the league and both cup competitions.

Liverpool make enquiry over "outrageous" £20m star who's wanted by Man Utd

The midfielder’s agents are keen to secure him a move to a new club.

By
Dominic Lund

Jan 29, 2025

Having already secured their place in the round of 16 prior to yesterday’s fixture, Slot handed minutes to some lesser-used players, with Tyler Morton coming on in the second half, appearing for the first time since the FA Cup tie against Accrington Stanley.

Morton has struggled for game time this season, and The Mirror report the 22-year-old could still exit Anfield before the transfer window comes to an end, after recently admitting he has found it difficult not being in the team.

Slot is now set to make a decision on the midfielder’s future, most likely partially based on what he saw on Wednesday night, with a move elsewhere on the cards prior to the February 3rd deadline.

Another loan move could suit Morton

The Wallasey-born midfielder has spent a lot of time out on loan in the past, enjoying impressive spells with Blackburn Rovers and Hull City, where he solidified his place as an important part of the team.

However, it was always going to be a difficult task for the central midfielder to force his way into starting contention at Liverpool, and there is unlikely to be an increase in game time on the horizon.

With the Reds performing at such a high level both domestically and in Europe, Slot is unlikely to want to make too many changes to his side, meaning the Englishman may not be handed many more opportunities.

Having expressed how difficult it is to not be regularly involved, another loan move until the end of the season could suit Morton, at which point his contract is set to expire, and the club can re-assess his future.

Considering the Liverpool academy graduate has been lauded as “incredible” in the past, it is clear he possesses a lot of potential, but he is not going to develop if he doesn’t receive consistent game time.

Pat Cummins has indicated he may not captain Australia in every one-day international leading into the World Cup in India later this year.For the multi-format players involved in the Ashes there will be a three-week break after the final Test, but it won’t be long before attention shifts to white-ball cricket.A T20I and ODI tour of South Africa begins in late August, for which the squad is expected to be announced shortly after the final Test in England, with three one-dayers in India following off the back of that then straight into the World Cup.Related

• Andrew McDonald fires back at Pat Cummins' harshest Ashes critics

• Warner quashes Oval retirement rumour, eyes Ashes victory

• Cummins: 'To go home winning the urn will be phenomenal – it's a final thing to tick off'

Cummins was appointed ODI captain last October following the retirement of Aaron Finch. Since then Australia have only had six matches in the format, but Cummins has played just two of them. Josh Hazlewood stood in as captain for one game against England then Steven Smith did so for the series in India when Cummins was absent following the death of his mother.With Cummins having a poor game at Old Trafford, as a bowler and a captain, questions have been raised about whether the workload is manageable, but he is comfortable about how the role will pan out over the next few months as the focus shifts formats.”I know the selectors have been really clear that I’m a bowler first in that team,” he said. “So if we need to manage some of those games leading into the World Cup that takes precedence over the continuity of being captain every single game.”We’ll manage that, but there’s a great team around us of players and staff so while I’m the captain and it’s a bigger workload it’s manageable.”It was an outlook flagged by national selector George Bailey when Cummins was named captain. “In our one-day team, we do feel like we’ve got some strong leaders, some really experienced members of the team, and some developing leaders,” Bailey said. “So regardless of Pat being there, I think we are moving away from this concept of a captain taking over and their leadership being all-encompassing.”It is expected that Cummins’ ODI captaincy stint will only continue until the end of the World Cup with a potential that the selectors will look to unify the white-ball leadership under one person.There has yet to be a successor named for Finch as T20 captain and it is possible that whoever leads the side for the three matches against South Africa is only an interim appointment before a permanent structure is put in place later in the year to lead into the 2024 T20 World Cup in West Indies and the USA.Meanwhile, in Test cricket Cummins is approaching the two-year point of his captaincy and when he was announced in late 2021 he indicated he may not keep the role for as long as some. However, if he continues for another couple of years at least, it will likely coincide with the start of the regeneration of the side as senior players begin to retire with the chance a significant number could depart in swift succession.David Warner has given his departure date early next year, but Cummins is in no rush to hasten others to the finishing line although is confident that replacements will be readily available when needed.”I certainly don’t want to rush anyone out the door,” he said. “I think this is about the fourth Ashes series where Jimmy Anderson says it’s going to be his last one. You never know. It’s just an age. Some of these guys might be around here in four years, and still at the top level. We’ll see.”It’s always a conversation. In cricket, we’re lucky you’ve got white-ball cricket where you can kind of have a soft entry for a lot of the guys, give them exposure to international cricket. It’s something the selectors talk about, but really you try and pick your best XI each week.”A replacement for Warner will be the first significant order of business for the series against West Indies in mid-January unless the selectors decide to draw a line ahead of the three Tests against Pakistan starting in December.Marcus Harris could be first in line having been the spare batter throughout the last Australia home summer and this Ashes tour, although Warner gave a strong endorsement to Matt Renshaw.”I’ve always said Matt Renshaw is a very good player,” Warner said. “He can play both formats quite easily. He’s tall. He’s exactly like Haydos [Matt Hayden]. We spoke about him in the early part of his career.”I’ve always felt and held him in high regard as a very good player. He’s worked on his technique. He’s been in and out of the squads, and I think he’ll be a great replacement.”

Manchester United have been in disarray for some time now, struggling to find any consistency, suffering from poor recruitment strategy and leaving the fans with a sour taste in their mouths.

The Red Devils currently sit 15th in the Premier League after 25 games played, just 12 points off of 18th place Ipswich and 15 points off of fourth place Manchester City.

Ruben Amorim’s side are averaging 53.6% possession (sixth highest in the division), taking 13.4 shots per game (12th highest in the division) and are conceding 11.4 shots against them per game (seventh fewest in the division).

When things really aren’t going your way, you sometimes need the big characters in the dressing room to step up, lead the team, lead by example and get you out of a bad spot. The main issue with this, is Man Utd don’t seem to have many of these characters at the club anymore.

Roy Keane's record Manchester United

Roy Keane, perhaps one of the biggest types of this character, made 479 appearances for Manchester United, scoring 51 goals, providing 41 assists and totalling 40,275 minutes played.

First Impressions

In this time, Keane captained a historic United side to the famous treble, winning the Premier League, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League in 1998/99.

Whilst the Irishman was hot-headed, his teammates clearly respected him, giving their all on the pitch, being led by Keane, with many regarding the United legend as the “best captain they have ever seen”.

Manchester United did sign a midfielder who was compared to Keane in the 2022/23 campaign, with Teddy Sheringham comparing the two players, but since having a brilliant first season at the club, his rapid demise has been clear for all to see.

Man Utd's new Roy Keane

Casemiro was signed for a fee of around £60m plus £10m in add-ons from Real Madrid in 2022 and has made 108 appearances for the Red Devils since joining the club, scoring 15 goals, providing nine assists and totalling 8,020 minutes played.

In his first campaign at Old Trafford, the experienced Brazilian was hugely influential – notably scoring in the club’s Carabao Cup triumph – with Sheringham highlighting the likeness between him and the talismanic Keane:

You can see in Casemiro’s three years at the club, the gradual decline in all areas. The only metric Casemiro ranks higher in this season than either of his previous two seasons is tackles per 90, and that is with far fewer minutes played, slightly skewing the data.

It has gotten to the point where Casemiro’s legs are seemingly gone, the United system is becoming more and more reliant on ground covering and physical qualities, and content creator Mark Goldbridge has now labelled the Brazilian a “total waste of time”, following the defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

Manchester United clearly need to get rid of players before they can buy, and not only getting the right profile but also the right mentality of players will be key if the Red Devils want to have any chance of returning to the top.

Casemiro may have indicated his desire to see out his contract – which runs out in 2026 – yet Sir Jim Ratcliffe and co need to do all they can to shift the £350k-per-week star from the wage bill.

Man Utd have unearthed their new Berbatov who "belongs to a different era"

The Man Utd star stood out against Spurs

ByJoe Nuttall Feb 17, 2025

The captain had one of his poorest games in the crunch moment of the season while the defender's poor form since returning from injury continued

Manchester United's dreams of saving their worst season in half a century with Europa League glory were shattered as they limped to a 1-0 defeat against Tottenham in the final. Luke Shaw and Patrick Dorgu both defended poorly to allow Brennan Johnson to score the only goal of the game in the 40th minute.

It was a suitably scruffy goal to win a final severely lacking in quality between the two worst English sides not to be relegated this season, and the ragged Red Devils simply had no response to going behind, with Bruno Fernandes failing to inspire his troops.

Harry Maguire and the tricky Amad Diallo were the only bright spots from a drab first half which ended in terrible fashion. Shaw, who had looked unconvincing from the start and has really done so ever since returning from injury, allowed Johnson to get in front of him and diverted the ball towards his goal before the forward got the final touch. Patrick Dorgu had not done his team-mate a favour either as he did not even try to stop Johnson, who should have been his man.

Ruben Amorim took too long to make his changes, although Alejandro Garnacho gave them faint hope with some thrusting runs down the left side. United came closest to scoring when Rasmus Hojlund had a header cleared off the line brilliantly by Micky van de Ven, while Shaw got power on a last-ditch header deep in injury time, but Guglielmo Vicario saved well.

It was too little too late from a United side who never deserved to win the final and, to tell the truth, did not deserve a good ending to this miserable campaign.

GOAL rates United's players from San Mames…

Getty Images SportGoalkeeper & Defence

Andre Onana (5/10):

The goal was not totally his fault, but he did not help himself with slow reactions and diving backwards into his own goal. Before then he had left Yoro in the lurch by failing to come out of his area and sweep up Richarlison's pass.

Leny Yoro (5/10):

Didn't have the best communication with Onana and did not carry the ball as well as he can. A little rustiness should have been expected given he rushed back from injury for this final.

Harry Maguire (6/10):

Gave a strong display, particularly in the first half. Moved the ball well, especially with his defence-splitting pass to Dorgu. But there were no miracles down the other end.

Luke Shaw (3/10):

Looked shaky from the off, letting Johnson start a dangerous attack early on. He totally botched his next match-up with the forward, being too weak to get in front of him and then diverting the ball inside the near post. Nearly made amends with his last-gasp header but was denied by Vicario.

AdvertisementGetty Images SportMidfield

Noussair Mazraoui (6/10):

Defended well, clearing a dangerous ball from Porro and then making a superb tackle on Son. Didn't get forward much.

Casemiro (5/10):

Made some aggressive tackles but lacked ideas with the ball and didn't cause a nuisance of himself in the box.

Bruno Fernandes (4/10):

Uninspiring when it mattered most. His shot at Vicario was one of United's few efforts on target. A loose pass invited a dangerous Spurs break and he couldn't muster any magic at all as the minutes ticked away.

Patrick Dorgu (4/10):

Too passive for the goal, standing still and letting Johnson attack the ball. Tried to make up for it with some positive play down the left, but couldn't make a tangible difference.

Getty Images SportAttack

Amad Diallo (7/10):

United's brightest player from start to finish. Fired inches wide, tested Vicario in the first half and tried desperately to get his side back in the game.

Rasmus Hojlund (5/10):

A bit unlucky. Got hardly any service and his one good effort was sensationally cleared off the line by Van de Ven. Taken off for Zirkzee.

Mason Mount (5/10):

Offered little in the first half, and although he improved in the second, he lost his footing after his best piece of play inside the area. Taken off for Garnacho.

Getty Images SportSubs & Manager

Alejandro Garnacho (6/10):

Instantly created danger, getting at Porro and then forcing Vicario into a fine save.

Joshua Zirkzee (5/10):

Offered very little going forward, although he did halt a dangerous counter by taking a booking.

Diogo Dalot (N/A):

Replaced Mazraoui in the 85th minute.

Kobbie Mainoo (N/A):

A desperate substitution in added time.

Ruben Amorim (4/10):

His line-up was risky, fielding Yoro so soon after injury, but more seriously starting Shaw despite his poor form, as well as picking Mount over Garnacho. And now there is no golden ticket after all, the benefit of the doubt he has been getting will disappear.

Leeds United have now suffered a fresh injury concern alongside captain Ethan Ampadu, according to a new update from manager Daniel Farke.

Leeds frustratingly held by West Brom

The Whites had another opportunity to pull further clear at the top of the Championship on Saturday afternoon, as they hosted West Brom at Elland Road.

In the end, though, it proved to be a frustrating day for Farke and his players, with Junior Firpo’s opener cancelled out by a Darnell Furlong header before the break, and the scoreline remained 1-1 in the end.

The result was far from a disaster, though, and Leeds are still in a wonderful position, despite the fact that Sheffield United won 2-1 away to Queens Park Rangers. The Whites are three points clear of the Blades, and perhaps more importantly, eight ahead of third-place Burnley, who have one game in hand.

Injuries can have the potential to define any season, so Farke will be keeping his fingers crossed that as many key players stay fit as possible, but a worrying update has emerged regarding one individual.

Leeds suffer fresh injury blow

Speaking after the West Brom game on Saturday, Farke confirmed that Leeds ace Mateo Joseph has now picked up an injury alongside the influential Ampadu: “[We have] a few concerns over Mateo. He rolled his ankle a little bit. Hopefully it’s not so bad.”

Losing Joseph for a sustained period would be an undoubted blow for the Whites, but the manager does at least sound relatively hopeful about his absence not being too lengthy.

The 21-year-old may not always have been a regular this season, but he has still been an important squad player, chipping in with three goals and assists apiece in the Championship. He has made 23 appearances from the substitutes’ bench, adding quality when opposition legs are tiring, while Whites pundit Kris Smith has lauded him, saying:

“I have no doubt in my mind that Mateo Joseph is going to be a Premier League-quality striker in the near future. I don’t think he’s going to take him that long to get there. But the only thing standing in his way right now, for me, is being given the patience to work through his current weaknesses.”

At 21 years of age, there is still an understandable rawness to Joseph’s game, but he has a high ceiling as a player and would hopefully prove to be a hit for Leeds in the Premier League, as Smith alludes to.

There is still plenty of work to be done in the Championship promotion battle this season, however, and the Spaniard can have a big say in ensuring that his side swiftly return to the top flight.

Farke must brutally axe 3/10 Leeds star who won’t cut it in the PL

The Leeds star had fewer touches than Meslier against West Brom on Saturday lunchtime.

1 ByJoe Nuttall Mar 1, 2025

The sooner he returns from his ankle issue the better, and Farke will hope that he is available for next Sunday’s trip to Portsmouth, in another massive game, especially with Patrick Bamord showing no signs of returning.

Leeds are now hoping to add some experience to their side this summer as they target a return to the Premier League, and Daniel Farke has put a goalscoring veteran at the top of his wishlist.

Leeds front line set to change

Heading into the final quarter of the Championship season, Leeds have scored at least 20 more goals than any other side in the division, adding four more in their most recent game as they thrashed Watford.

Joel Piroe leads the way for Farke’s side, with his 14 strikes enough to leave him second to Norwich City’s Borja Sainz in the golden boot race, while Dan James has also picked up 10 goals so far this campaign.

Despite their freescoring form though, Leeds are still keen to bolster their frontline this summer, and even tried to in January with a move for Southampton’s young talent Cameron Archer, only for a move to be blocked by the south coast side on deadline day, leaving the Elland Road side empty-handed.

The second tier is providing great entertainment and drama once again, but which stars are standing out?

1 ByCharlie Smith Feb 14, 2025

Should, as expected, Leeds get promoted back to the top flight, they will want a reliable Premier League goalscorer in their ranks and though Bamford has had experience in the top flight, his future now looks to lie away from Elland Road after falling down the pecking order under Farke.

Meanwhile, Mateo Joseph was subject to interest from Spain late in the January transfer window, and though Leeds opted to keep him, that interest may resurface in the summer when there is more time to replace the 21-year-old. With all that in mind, Leeds have now joined a gaggle of clubs chasing a potential free agent.

Leeds want Newcastle striker this summer

That is according to TBR Football, who report that Leeds hold an interest in Newcastle United forward Callum Wilson as a potential option to add more firepower to their side.

Wilson has spent much of his career in the top flight, enjoying a fruitful spell with Bournemouth before completing his move to Tyneside. Like Bamford though, Wilson has struggled with injuries and, now 32-years-old, is not a player that Eddie Howe can count on.

The Newcastle boss has worked with him at both Bournemouth and Newcastle, and is a masisve fan of his talents, labeling him “incredible” in 2023.

“He’s been incredible and I feel that his performance was right up there with one of the best I’ve seen him play, purely from a tactical perspective,” he explained after a 4-1 win over Brighton.

But now tasked with securing European football regularly, he cannot rely on the veteran. As a result, Wilson is in the final months of his £46,000 a week deal at St James’ Park and no efforts have been made to offer him a new contract, with Wilson having managed just six appearances so far this season.

Now, the report has revealed that “Wilson does not expect to be a Newcastle player by the end of the current campaign” but is keen to remain in the Premier League, limiting his options significantly.

It is added that both West Ham and Bournemouth are weighing up a move, while Leeds are “also interested” should they be promoted back to the top flight. While Wilson is undoubtedly a quality player even now, having shown that with two goals at Elland Road last time he faced the Whites, his injuries are surely a red flag even for a side looking to add Premier League experience on a budget.
