Crystal Palace are now fully confident about signing a “sensational” player this month, with Oliver Glasner personally an admirer.

Palace eyeing new signings amid Glasner uncertainty

Glasner’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season, and Palace could have their work cut out trying to keep hold of their manager, with it recently being revealed he has been identified as Manchester United’s top target, following Ruben Amorim’s departure.

It is not certain the Austrian will move on, and he has now made it clear he expects negotiations over a new contract to ramp up soon, saying: “I think in the next weeks, we will intensify the talks.

“With Macclesfield, Friday again, we go up north, and then everyone gets three days off after Macclesfield and then we have to target four regular weeks and in those weeks we will intensify the talks and I expect to find a final decision.”

Backing the 51-year-old in the current transfer window could help convince him to extend his stay at Selhurst Park, and the Eagles’ business has been promising so far, securing the signing of Brennan Johnson from Tottenham Hotspur.

However, Crystal Palace aren’t done there, according to a report from Spain, which states they dream of signing Atletico Madrid’s Conor Gallagher, who could be available for just £26m this month, with the La Liga club open to a sale.

In fact, Palace are fully confident they will be able to get a deal done, as Gallagher will need to receive regular game time ahead of the World Cup in the summer, if he is to stand any chance of making Thomas Tuchel’s squad.

Man United and Tottenham Hotspur are also in the race for the Englishman, which could pose a problem, but Glasner will be hoping his side can win the race, as he believes the 25-year-old could be the ideal addition to the midfield.

The Eagles are looking to sign a new striker.

The central midfielder has, of course, already proven himself in the Premier League, and indeed at Crystal Palace, chipping in with eight goals and three assists as the Eagles recorded a 12th-place finish in the 2021-22 season.

Hailed as “sensational” by reporter John Cross, the Epsom-born midfielder has continued to impress since moving to Spain, averaging 1.96 interceptions per 90 over the past year, which ranks him in the 96th percentile, compared to other midfielders.

With Gallagher already proven in the Premier League, and able to make an impact at both ends of the pitch, he could be a fantastic addition to Glasner’s squad, and £26m would be a very reasonable fee.

However, Palace fans will be hoping the former Chelsea man’s potential arrival doesn’t lead to the departure of Adam Wharton, with Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool now among the suitors for the central midfielder…

Everton have now reportedly set their sights on a late hijack to sign a Premier League star, who’s set to make a decision about his future in the next 48 hours.

Moyes issues Nottingham Forest warning after Burnley stalemate

So far, whilst Everton haven’t been spectacular, they have been improved under David Moyes. The Toffees have shown signs of their best and could move into the top eight with victory over Nottingham Forest this evening, albeit only if results go their way across the rest of the gameweek.

To do so, however, they’ll have to be far more clinical than they were in a frustrating 0-0 draw against Burnley last time out and Moyes is certainly well aware of the threat that Forest pose despite their recent struggles.

Everton will at least be hoping to welcome Jack Grealish back from the sidelines after he missed the Burnley game. Without their star loanee and Iliman Nidaye, who is at AFCON with Senegal, the Toffees struggled on the creative front last time out.

It’s been a consistent problem throughout their campaign when a select few stars haven’t taken responsibility for what is a blunt frontline. And it should be at the top of their priorities to solve that problem in the January transfer window.

To that end, the rumours are already coming thick and fast. The likes of Hayden Hackney have already emerged as a reported target, as is the case for Brennan Johnson.

Everton eyeing late hijack to sign Johnson

According to Ben Jacobs, Everton are eyeing a late hijack to sign Johnson from Tottenham Hotspur, despite reports claiming that Crystal Palace have already agreed a £35m deal to sign the winger.

It’s now down to the Welshman where he plays his football from next month onwards and he’s reportedly set to make his decision in the next 48 hours whilst Everton wait in the wings.

Although £35m is certainly not cheap for a player who’s not been at his best this season, it’s worth remembering who Johnson is when in form.

The 24-year-old scored 18 goals, whilst also creating a further seven in all competitions last season and would undoubtedly complete Everton’s frontline.

From Tottenham struggles, Johnson could thrive alongside the likes of Ndiaye, Grealish and Thierno Barry, who is beginning to show signs of his best in Merseyside.

Beating Palace to the deal would be some achievement at this stage, but it seems as though it will all come down to Johnson’s decision.

Maharashtra picked up the four remaining wickets early on the fourth day to beat Assam by an innings and 52 runs in Chennai. Their second successive win brought them storming back into contention for a berth in the quarter-finals. Assam, resuming on 115 for 6, needed to wipe out a deficit of 171 more. KB Arun Karthik and Swarupam Purkayastha added 83, before left-arm spinner Satyajeet Bacchav sent back Purkayastha for 69. Two overs later, Mohsin Sayyad dismissed Abu Nechim Ahmed for a duck.Anupam Sanklecha, who took eight wickets in the first innings, fittingly picked up the last wicket – his 12th in the match and 26th in two games – as Assam were all out for 234, with Karthik stranded on 87. Earlier in the match, tons from Kedar Jadhav and Chirag Khurana took Maharashtra to 542 before Sanklecha ran through Assam’s batting. His eight wickets in Assam’s first innings, gave them a 286 run lead.Delhi survived a final day collapse before they reached 153 to beat Rajasthan by two wickets in Wayanad. They started the day on 51 for 3, needing 102 runs more to win. But overnight batsman Vikas Tokas was bowled by Pankaj Singh ten runs later, before Shikhar Dhawan, on a comeback trail after recovering from a broken finger, was out on 49.Delhi were at 76 for 5 at this stage, still needing another 77. But Nitish Rana (31), added 24 runs with Milind Kumar and another 37 with Sumit Narwal, before being run out. Narwal then batted with the tail to take Delhi to victory. He remained unbeaten on 27. Rajasthan’s Amitkumar Gautam, playing his second first-class match, was adjudged Player of the Match. He scored 106 in the first innings to notch up his maiden first-class ton.CM Gautam (95) and Shreyas Gopal (77) helped Karnataka stave off defeat and walk away with one point against Odisha in New Delhi. Karnataka were 81 ahead with four wickets in hand when play began. They drove ahead to 393, with he last four wickets contributing 162. K Gowtham, the offspinner, made 46 of those at No. 9. Set a target of 231 in 32 overs, Odisha’s openers batted cautiously to end on 63 without loss and walk away with the first-innings honours. This was the first time this season that Karnataka conceded a lead. However, they continued to top the group.Vidarbha recorded their first win of the season by beating Saurashtra by eight wickets at the Karnail Singh Stadium in New Delhi. Akshay Wakhare and Mohammad Shaikh picked up seven wickets between them as Saurashtra, who conceded a 46-run lead, were bowled out for 189, with opener Snell Patel top scoring with 63. Vidarbha lost Faiz Fazal early in chase of 144, but were driven by half-centuries from Sanjay Ramaswamy and Ganesh Satish as they completed the chase in 35 overs. The loss meant Saurashtra were rooted to the bottom of the group.

Injured Tare to miss quarter-final

Mumbai captain Aditya Tare will miss his team’s quarter-final against Jharkhand in Mysore after failing to recover from a finger fracture sustained during the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 competition. Allrounder Abhishek Nayar will stand in as captain, and Mumbai have included wicketkeeper batsman Eknath Kerkar as Tare’s replacement in their 15-man squad.

Bengal’s consistency this season can’t be overstated. They won two games in the league stage and lost none, and their only blip came in the first game against Karnataka when they dropped first-innings points. Bengal never conceded the lead thereafter, and eventually went on to finish second in Group A. A graph of their performance would reveal a smooth upward stroke gaining height with every game. Minus the backstory it would be easy to believe such an impressive performance was borne out of a harmonious set-up that nurtured the winning habit. But there was very little that was harmonious about Bengal’s build up to the season.Their pre-season tour to Sri Lanka was tarred by reports of alleged infighting, culminating in Laxmi Ratan Shukla stepping down as captain and Manoj Tiwary replacing him. Then there was the spat between Tiwary and Gautam Gambhir in Delhi and the controversy over an ‘underprepared’ Kalyani pitch after the two-day finish against Odisha. Bengal also had a revamped bowling attack that had no place for veteran offspinner Saurashish Lahiri, and had Pragyan Ojha making his first appearance for the team. The batting unit also had a fair bit of green about it. So what went right for the team?”I would say Sairaj Bahutule has played a very important role along with [Cricket Association of Bengal president] Sourav Ganguly because he also chips in with his valuable inputs [on] how to go about as far as all these things are concerned,” Tiwary told reporters after Bengal’s practice session ahead of their quarter-final against Madhya Pradesh at the Brabourne Stadium. “Other support staff like [bowling coach] Ranadeb Bose and [fielding coach] Joydeep Mukherjee have made sure our team doesn’t get distracted with all this things.”Tiwary said controversies were inevitable in Bengal, and so the players had to work around them. “Each and every season in Bengal, you know, there are a lot of unnecessary controversies which are not required,” he said. “This time around we made sure each and every one is focused in their job.”It’s a kind of a challenge you can say. Along with batting and bowling in the middle this is also a challenge for us to just to handle things better off the field. It’s important for a captain or any individual to be as calm as possible and think of the things which are related to cricket only rather than wasting energy on other things.”Tiwary said the senior players pulled their weight and that in turn rubbed on to the younger players. Ojha and Dinda have topped the bowling charts with 33 and 31 wickets respectively, but Tiwary was particularly pleased that the selection punts on youngsters like offspinner Aamir Gani, preferred to Lahiri, and seamer Mukesh Kumar had come good.”It’s important we [seniors] take extra responsibility to perform consistently and this season our performance in the Ranji Trophy we have been very consistent,” he said. “Bowlers, especially Dinda and Ojha, have contributed a lot. Mukesh is a find for Bengal for the season. Our team looks very confident and balanced.”According to Tiwary, Sudip Chatterjee – the team’s highest scorer with 712 runs – and opener Abhimanyu Easwaran had the potential to play Test matches for India. “[Sudip] is a determined youngster. He has that hunger to do well. It’s that desperation [that has contributed to his success],” Tiwary said. “Along with him, Abhimanyu Easwaran is one of them. They have the potential [to play for India]. It’s just that they have to be on the right track and work the way they are working.”Tiwary is carrying a niggle in his right calf but he felt playing through pain was a small price for the joy that a Ranji Trophy title offered. “It’s a very important match for Bengal cricket, so you will have to [play through pain] at times,” he said. “I don’t think every cricketer is always 100% fit. It’s important to get through the pain. I have been jogging a lot, touch wood nothing will happen.”[A Ranji title] is due as well. This is the best period of Bengal cricket. The chances of getting the trophy are much higher. But we have to take it as another match and not put too much pressure.”Madhya Pradesh, on the other hand, have had an intriguing run to the knockouts. Having started off in reasonably solid manner, they went through a phase where they won successive games against Baroda and Railways before losing the next two. Then, in a must-win game against Andhra, they grabbed seven points and scraped through to the quarter-finals by virtue of a better net run rate than Gujarat. This was welcome respite for a side that had missed out a knockout berth by a whisker last season.”Qualifying for the knockouts was our first aim when we started off,” Madhya Pradesh captain Devendra Bundela said. “Our first two games didn’t go well but we made a good comeback. Of course there was the disappointment of last year so we put in more effort and concentrated harder this time. We have also had the same group of players over the last three-four years, so there is good bonding. We will play with three medium pacers and two spinners tomorrow.”Both captains were united in their assessment that the Brabourne pitch had decent grass cover and would offer assistance to the seamers early on before going on to become a good batting surface.

The Indian Cricket League (ICL) has received support from an unexpected quarter with West Bengal sports minister Subhash Chakraborty saying the ICL would be allowed to use the Eden Gardens and other grounds in the state.”Whatever facilities we have, we will make available to the boys who have been punished, particularly by the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB),” Chakraborty told , an Indian television channel. “I have no objection. All the fields will be available for them as all the fields are available for CAB. The owner of the fields is the state government not any other body. The Eden Gardens was looked after by CAB. Now the lease period is over and it is state government’s property. If Kapil and others like to play in Eden Gardens, I would allow it. What is the harm in it?”The minister’s public support for the Subhash Chandra-owned Essel Group’s venture has come as a surprise as the current CAB president Prasun Mukherjee has the backing of the Sharad Pawar-led BCCI regime.The BCCI decided not to recognise the league and barred the defecting players from playing for India or at the domestic level, besides withdrawing all financial benefits.The ICL has managed to lure as many as 44 Indian first-class cricketers and seven overseas players, including Brian Lara and former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul Haq, in the initial list for its proposed Twenty20 tournament expected to be held in October.

Derbyshire and Essex have progressed through to the final of the Twenty20 Floodlit competition.The second leg of the semi final between Derbyshire and Glamorgan at Derby produced a first for cricket as it was decided in extra-time after Glamorgan had won the full match to make it one leg each. The four-over-per-side decider went the way of Derbyshire as they defend 43, with Tom Lungley and Jake Needham producing tight overs, and restricted Glamorgan to six off the final when 11 were needed. Glamorgan had sealed the full match with five balls to spare after Richard Grant’s 50 and a rapid 34 from Ryan Watkins enabled them to chase down 157. Derbyshire’s innings was based around Travis Birt’s 51 and although it wasn’t enough, they held their nerve in extra time.Essex were left waiting for news of their final opponents after a comfortable six-wicket victory over Sussex at Chelmsford. Sussex failed to capitalise on an excellent start given to them by Chris Adams (51 off 23 balls) and Mike Yardy (36 off 33 balls) as they lost wickets regularly in the closing stages. Ryan ten Doeschate picked up wickets in each of his four overs to claim 4 for 24 as Sussex were pegged back to 181 for 8. Alastair Cook, drafted into the Essex side ahead of England’s ODI series, gave his side a rollicking start with 38 off 20 balls. After a flurry of wickets, Ravinder Bopara (58 off 35 balls) and ten Doeschate (38 off 20 balls) hurried their team to victory with 10 balls to spare.Essex meet Derbyshire in a two-legged final on September 13 and 15, with the first leg at Chelmsford. Sussex and Glamorgan feature in a third-place play-off over the same nights.

Even the most ardent pessimists are daring to dream that the Ashes will be regained by England. “In racing terms, we have our noses in front,” said a cautious Geoffrey Boycott in . For some ardent optimists, though, victory is already in the bag. “The Ashes are coming home” roared a premature headline in .England, of course, were kept in the hunt by that victory at Trent Bridge, and just how important keeping the Ashes alive is to the future of English cricket was underlined by s Richard Williams. “English cricket was briefly threatened with the most damaging defeat in its history,” he wrote, “given the hopes invested in this series. Had Australia forced the win […] many of the game’s gains of the past five weeks would have been forfeited.”Whether or not England regain the urn remains to be seen. But whatever happens, journalists are talking excitedly about their belief that this series is second-to-none for intense drama. “For spectacle and sheer unrelenting excitement, if not for the quality of the cricket,” began Christopher Martin-Jenkins in , “this really must be accounted the greatest of all Test series.””Never in the 129-year history of Test cricket can three consecutive matches have ended in such dramatic circumstances,” agreed s Angus Fraser, while Simon Barnes wondered how much more the nation could take. “Just when Wimbledon was safely over,” he wrote in “the England cricket team have set to outdo Tim Henman as a cause of national neurosis.”One unbearable climax has followed another as England have repeatedly outplayed Australia and have repeatedly found it hard, if not impossible, to make the killing stroke. The finger freezes on the trigger. England simply cannot believe in their own superiority over the old enemy.””For once a tense endgame didn’t look likely,” wrote Derek Pringle in . “Vaughan’s men looked like they might give the Aussies a good towelling. Yet with Ricky Ponting’s side unable to say die, at least not yet, the drama began to wind its way to another tortuous resolution. England’s batsmen made it hard for themselves. What began as positive intent quickly began to look like blind panic.”The papers re-enacted the tense moments of England’s chase to the line, with ‘s Glenn Moore adding: “Turmoil invaded the minds of the England team as their run-chase coughed and spluttered like a Ferrari running on diesel.” At the helm in the final push were Ashley Giles and Matthew Hoggard, and Giles admitted in his column that his nerves were on the edge of fraying.”I would rather just watch,” he recalled saying prior to his innings, but in the aftermath he was naturally delighted. “To go out there and get the winning runs was awesome.” Hoggard, he reported, was in a much calmer, determined frame of mind. “”Come on, let’s you and me get it done,” he said, with a bit of a smile.”That they did is to the whole team’s credit, as Simon Barnes acknowledged. “Giles and Hoggard stuck it out in a cheer-every-run nerve-stretcher,” he wrote, “and that, perhaps was most appropriate of all. This has been a team performance in a summer of team performances […] when one English player fails, another stands up for his time of glory.”Credit is due in no small part to Michael Vaughan and Duncan Fletcher, as Derek Pringle observed. “Old England might have folded,” he wrote. “But Vaughan and Duncan Fletcher have built a team not only hungry for success but who back themselves fully.”And Vaughan’s superior captaincy when compared to that of Ricky Ponting is a key factor in England’s series lead, suggests Richard Williams. “At every turn Ricky Ponting has found himself outmanoeuvred by Vaughan, even in the psychological contest whose rules his own predecessors invented.”Mike Selvey, in agreed, but suggested that there was a brief passage of play where Ponting had got it right – and this nearly cost England victory. “For two hours Ricky Ponting, such an unimaginative captain for much of the game, cast off his cloak and abetted by Warne’s influence became inspirational,” said Selvey.Attention hovered over the two Joneses, with Geoffrey Boycott acclaiming Simon for producing “the biggest improvement out of all the bowlers in this series.” But he gave short shrift to Geraint, whose keeping, he said, “means the bowlers have to strive much harder. Instead of having to take 10 wickets in an innings, they have to take 14 or 15. Everyone makes mistakes but Jones makes too many. The problem is, I don’t know who you would stick in his place. But if he doesn’t improve soon, his errors will cost a Test match.”David Hopps is not convinced, either. “To believe that Jones’ wicketkeeping will rise to the challenge at the last requires an evangelical zeal. He is the perkiest of batsmen […], but the wicketkeeping, oh the wicketkeeping. How much more pressure can we take?”We are set to find out when this series heads for its dramatic climax at the Oval at the start of September. ‘s Paul Hayward knows just how big a match this will be for English cricket: “There will be a five-day hole in the English economy, a flooding back to the sport that dominated our childhood summers before football rolled its tanks on to the village green and the local rec.”Thumb through the catalogue of great sporting events on English soil since the honeyed summer of ’66,” he added, “and few reach the magnitude of the Oval Test.” If you think the matches to date have been big, the final act will be huge. Don’t go away.

Sir Donald Bradman’s 1947 baggy green cap apparently set a new record inMelbourne yesterday, but auctioneer Michael Ludgrove is not revealingthe price.The cap, from the 1947-48 Test series against India, is the first of TheDon’s baggy greens to be offered at public auction.However, it did not go under the hammer: it was sold before the auctionfor an undisclosed price, Mr Ludgrove said.”It sold for a record figure which has to remain undisclosed at thisstage,” Mr Ludgrove said.”It exceeded a Bradman sculpture which previously sold for $180,000,while baggy greens usually fetch between $30,000 to $40,000.”A suitable offer was made before the auction which was acceptable tothe vendor and acting on his instructions we withdrew it.”I can say that it is a record figure for any item of cricketmemorabilia or any baggy green,” he said.The bid was made by a successful Sydney businessman aged under 40, hesaid.The cap was given to India’s team manager Pankaj Gupta by Sir Donald in1948 after Australia played India at the Adelaide Oval.It has been handed down to different owners since.The vendor, who wished to remain anonymous, lives in London.A life-size bronze sculpture of Bradman’s cover drive, expected to reachbetween $100,000 and $200,000 was passed in at $95,000, as was the batwielded by Sir Garfield Sobers when he smashed six sixes in a six-ballover in 1968.The bat was expected to fetch between $200,000 to $300,000 but biddingceased at $150,000.Other lots included the baggy green cap of Neil Harvey from the 1956Ashes series ($15,000), a signed photograph of bushranger Ned Kelly in aboxing pose ($30,000) and ornithologist John Gould’s eight volume Birdsof Australia, which sold for $260,000.An auction of the images and historical press photograph collections ofMiller, Sam Loxton, Bill Johnston and Lindsay Hassett scheduled fortomorrow (Monday) has been cancelled following their pre-sale for$75,000, Mr Ludgrove said.They are now owned by a Melbourne collector.

The Goa police on Thursday filed a chargesheet against the Goa CricketAssociation (GCA) president, Dayanand Narvekar and eight others in thecourt in connection with the `fake’ ticket scam under various sectionsof the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including criminal conspiracy, policesources said.The names of GCA secretary Vinod Phadke, former treasurer RamaShankardas, ticket contractor Chinmay Fallari and his brother DevduttFallari, also figure in the chargesheet filed in the court of JudicialMagistrate First Class, Margao, they said.Eknath Naik, brother-in-law of GCA president, Gangaram Bishe,Venkatesh Desai and Joaquim Pires were the other four charged underdifferent sections of the IPC, including printing and sale of faketickets, criminal conspiracy and cheating the public, police sourcessaid, adding, the different IPC sections slapped against them were461, 465, 468, 471, 201 and 120 (b).About 200 persons, including those chargesheeted in the case had beeninterrogated since the police launched investigations about threemonths back into allegations of printing and sale of fake tickets forthe India-Australia One Day International on April 6 last in Goa.
