Aston Villa boss Unai Emery could look to add an experienced La Liga full-back to the ranks at Villa Park and he is known to 'appreciate' his qualities, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

What's the latest Aston Villa transfer news?

The Villans have added some star quality to their side in the transfer window after completing deals for Youri Tielemans, Pau Torres and Moussa Diaby and more exciting arrivals could land in the West Midlands before the close of play in the market.

According to The Guardian, Galatasaray attacker Nicolo Zaniolo is in the sights of Aston Villa and is reportedly open to a move to Villa Park after Argentinian playmaker Emi Buendia was ruled out with a serious injury.

Galatasaray will sell Zaniolo if they receive a fair fee for the Italy international; however, Tuttosport claim that any deal involving the former Roma star will be on a loan agreement.

Taking to Twitter X, Italian transfer expert Romano delivered an update on Aston Villa's pursuit of Sevilla left-back Marcos Acuna, stating: "Aston Villa want Marcos Acuna deal to be sealed today as new round of talks is expected to agree terms with Sevilla; personal terms already in place. Borna Sosa remains priority option for Sevilla as new LB if Acuna leaves."

£49k-a-week earner Acuna has already made two appearances this term and notched an assist in Sevilla's UEFA Super Cup final clash against Manchester City, which they eventually lost on penalties to the Champions League holders.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Romano gave some further insight into Aston Villa's admiration towards Acuna as they aim to secure his signature.

Romano stated: “More than a winger, now I would keep an eye on full-backs because I always told you they were looking for full-backs.

“So, there is an internal conversation about the next targets, but the next one will be Zaniolo.”

What next for Aston Villa?

Aston Villa face Everton this Sunday at home as they look to lay claim to their first three points of the Premier League campaign following a humiliating 5-1 defeat to Newcastle United on the opening day of the season.

Villans boss Emery will also have to do without the services of experienced central defender Tyrone Mings for a period of time after the England international sustained a 'serious knee injury' in their heavy loss at St James' Park, as per Sky Sports.

FootballTransfers claim that Mings' injury could open the door for Aston Villa to make a surprise move for Manchester United defender Harry Maguire and it is claimed by the outlet that 'enquiries' have already been made to see if they can prize the 30-year-old away from Old Trafford.

According to The Athletic, Liverpool are known to be admirers of Aston Villa midfielder Boubacar Kamara amid their ongoing quest to acquire a central midfielder.

Usman Khawaja took away the Player-of-the-Match award; Jack Wildermuth and Michael Neser returned combined figures of 7 for 88 in the second innings to take Queensland home

Usman Khawaja’s 122, coupled with the seven wickets taken by the pace-bowling duo of Jack Wildermuth and Michael Neser, helped Queensland complete a 110-run rout of Victoria inside three days of the day-night match at the Gabba.Propelled by Khawaja’s first century of the season, which included 16 fours, Queensland posted 311 in their second innings. They might have wanted more, considering they began the day at 5 for 254 but Scott Boland and Chris Tremain knocked them over rather quickly.Victoria needed 329 to win, but were reduced to 5 for 77 in the 26th over with Neser and Wildermuth taking turns in dealing blows to the opposition line-up. The only semblance of resistance from the visitors came in the form of two fifty-plus stands – worth 66 and 52 runs respectively – as Daniel Christian partnered captain Peter Handscomb and Tremain for the sixth and seventh wickets. They could only delay the inevitable though. Victoria slumped from 6 for 195 to 219 all out in the space of 10 overs.Peter Siddle, in the frame for the upcoming Ashes, had a decent game. He took the new pink ball, got through 37 overs and picked up a couple of wickets as well. Khawaja was the biggest gainer, his 21st first-class century adding to the belief that he will line up against England at No. 3.Glenn Maxwell couldn’t get past 20 in either innings. And though Matt Renshaw had a similarly unproductive outing for Queensland, scoring 17 and 16, he did ensure he was at the crease for a total of 112 deliveries.

O candidato à presidência do Santos, Daniel Curi renunciou ao cargo de primeiro-secretário do Conselho Deliberativo do clube na última sexta-feira (04). Ele foi eleito junto a Mesa Diretora do Egrégio em dezembro de 2017, na chapa que contava com Marcelo Teixeira à frente.

Em carta oficial de renúncia entregue à mesa e obtida pelo L!, Daniel menciona especialmente Marcelo, onde agradece pelo convite para fazer parte do grupo.

– Servir ao Santos ao seu lado, Marcelo Teixeira, é sempre motivo de orgulho e de muito aprendizado. Obrigado por ter me convidado a participar desse trabalho – escreveu Curi.

Presidente do Peixe entre 1991 e 1993 e 2000 e 2009, Teixeira é peça importante no bastidor político santista e ainda não declarou apoio a nenhum pré-candidato à presidência do clube. No entanto, o atual presidente do Conselho Deliberativo está à frente do “Movimento dos Santistas”, grupo de pacificação de integrantes da oposição do Alvinegro, que conta também com nomes como Andrés Rueda, Celso Jatene, José Renato Quaresma, entre outros, e que deve anunciar um postulante ao cargo máximo na gestão do Santos.

Além de Curi, outros seis pré-candidatos se apresentam para concorrer à presidência do Alvinegro Praiano no próximo triênio: Esmeraldo Tarquinio, Fernando Silva, Ricardo Agostinho, Rodrigo Marino, Milton Teixeira Filho e Vágner Lombardi. O atual presidente do Peixe, José Carlos Peres, pode concorrer a reeleição, mas já disse publicamente que não pretende, podendo, ainda assim, indicar nomes para concorrer pela situação. Matheus Rodrigues e Pedro Doria, membros do Comitê Gestor, são cotados para isso.

Motivos para a renúncia

Embora o estatuto do Santos FC não preveja a necessidade de desligamento da Mesa Diretora do Conselho para disputar a eleição, Daniel optou pela atitude, segundo ele, como forma de respeito aos demais pré-candidatos e conselheiros, e avaliou o órgão, enquanto foi membro, o mais democrático da história do clube.

– Em respeito aos demais pré-candidatos e aos próprios conselheiros, entendo por bem renunciar ao honroso cargo de 1º Secretário da Mesa do conselho Deliberativo, permanecendo, contudo, na igualmente honrosa condição de Conselheiro Eleito – pontuou.

– Certamente, a atual Mesa terminará seu mandato como a mais democrática e a que mais ouviu os sócios do Santos em toda a sua história – acrescentou.

Após e eleição presidencial do Peixe, prevista para a primeira quinzena de dezembro, novos conselheiros serão eleitos, sendo indicados percentualmente ao número de votos recebidos por cada chapa que concorreu à presidência – conselheiros natos, honorários e efetivos possuem cadeira cativa e permanecem nas suas funções independentemente do resultado do pleito.

Manchester United haven't had the desired start to their Premier League campaign, witnessing a real struggle to dominate opponents in their opening fixtures, while injury issues have become a cause for concern for Erik ten Hag.

Now, a new update has emerged on the Red Devils' attempts to strengthen their squad amid Luke Shaw's worrying injury blow.

Who could replace Luke Shaw at Man United?

According to The Athletic, Manchester United are "exploring" a deal to sign Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella before the Friday deadline.

On Twitter, the publication revealed:

"Manchester United are exploring a move for Marc Cucurella after Luke Shaw was ruled out for an extended period with a muscle injury."

Following up in an article, The Athletic's Pol Ballus claimed that Man United and Chelsea have held informal talks about a potential loan deal for the season ahead, as he is considered a short-term replacement for Shaw.

How good is Marc Cucurella?

It will come as no surprise that Man United are desperately searching for full-back reinforcements in the dying days of the summer transfer window, as both Shaw and Tyrell Malacia will be unavailable for the foreseeable.

Read the latest Man United transfer news HERE…

Shaw is due to be out of action until November following a muscle injury, whilst his understudy Malacia has an ongoing knee injury that has seen him ruled out for the entirety of the season so far and has a similar recovery timeline as his teammate.

As a result, it is imperative that Ten Hag secures the services of a left-back who can not only replace the quality and availability missing on the left flank but a player who can make an instant impact at Old Trafford, with Cucurella's Premier League and Champions League experience a huge advantage in their search.

The Chelsea star has struggled to make the desired impact at Stamford Bridge since his £60m move from Brighton and Hove Albion last summer, with Ben Chilwell the favoured starting option for Mauricio Pochettino so far, whilst youth prospect Ian Maatsen has moved up the pecking order to become the second in command.

This sparks an opportunity for the Man United boss to repeat his Mason Mount masterclass by diving back into Chelsea's ranks again. Mount, who is yet to score in United colours, may well have had a difficult start to life at Old Trafford but like his former teammate in Cucurella has proven himself at top-flight level before.

Indeed, Ten Hag could offer Cucurella a second chance at first-team football, which will likely be an attractive prospect for the left-back and presents the Blues with the chance to further offload another player who doesn't make the cut.

Despite his difficult start to life in West London, the £175k-per-week Spaniard – once hailed "sensational" by journalist Josh Bunting – ranked in the top 20% of his Premier League positional peers last season for assists, pass completion, passes into the final third, tackles won, dribblers tackled and touches per 90 minutes played, as per FBref.

Not only that, Cucurella shared a number of similarities in his output compared to Shaw last season, with the pair coming close in goal contributions (2 v 3), pass completion (84.3% v 83.7%), successful take-ons (35.7% v 35.9%) and aerial duels won (55.2% v 61.3%), proving that he could be a worthy short-term solution to Ten Hag's biggest headache.

With that being said, it would be a no-brainer for Man United to snap up the services of Cucurella for the season ahead, as his wealth of experience and similarities to Shaw would surely offer Ten Hag a player who can quickly slot into the team at Old Trafford.

Karnataka recorded their largest first-innings lead over Mumbai – 222 runs – as four of their batsmen made robust half-centuries on the second day of the Ranji Trophy quarter-final in Nagpur. Resuming on 115 for 1, Karnataka went to stumps on 395 for 6, with Shreyas Gopal’s unbeaten 80 adding to the good work done by CM Gautam (79), Mayank Agarwal (78) and Kaunain Abbas (50)Things had looked reasonably good for Mumbai in the morning when they got an early breakthrough. Seamer Shivam Malhotra had Agarwal caught behind in the ninth over of the day, denying him a sixth hundred of the season. Fellow debutant Shivam Dubey then dismissed Karun Nair cheaply by trapping him lbw and finished the day with a five-wicket haul.Karnataka were only 45 runs ahead by the time they lost half their side but Gautam and Gopal put together a vital 103-run partnership to pull away from Mumbai. Gautam came into the quarter-final on the back of a dismal run of form. He averaged a mere 18 after seven innings this season but ensured he came good when his team needed it the most. He was trapped lbw by Dubey after spending 111 balls at the crease, hitting 12 fours and a six. Another big partnership followed for Karnataka as captain Vinay Kumar put on an unbeaten 74 runs with Gopal, who ended the day 20 short of his fourth first-class hundred.

A report from Spain has shared some news on Arsenal and their possible late move for ex-Man City and current Barcelona centre-back Eric Garcia.

What's the latest Arsenal transfer news?

Mikel Arteta's side have enjoyed a solid albeit fairly underwhelming start to the new Premier League season as they look to contend with high-flying Man City for the English title yet again.

Arsenal have spent over £200 million on a plethora of new additions this summer, coming in the form of Germany international Kai Havertz, defender Jurrien Timber, goalkeeper David Raya and club-record capture Declan Rice.

However, an ACL injury to Timber, sustained in Arsenal's opening match of the season at home to Nottingham Forest, means the Gunners could have to dip back into the market late on for a possible replacement.

“It is a huge blow. Especially for him after just joining the club. We recruited him with clear intentions and what he was bringing to the team was evident,” Arteta said recently.

“We have to assess now what the options are, what the best way is to get the best out of the players we have. As I said, my biggest challenge now is to get the best out of the players we have.

“I cannot control anything that is not here. And we are always open and we have to be open and react if something happens, not only with an injury but with the market as well – and that’s what we are doing.”

There have been a few defenders linked in the past two weeks with replacing Timber, including Real Valladolid starlet Ivan Fresneda and Barca's Garcia.

The latter player, who once featured fairly regularly under Pep Guardiola at Man City, is a defender who Arteta knows well from his time as assistant coach at Eastlands.

Garcia has been tipped as a possible option for Arsenal in the latter stages of this transfer window, as explained by Spanish news site Mundo Deportivo, who have an update on the situation.

The 22-year-old is seen by Arteta's side a potential stand-in for Timber, and it is apparently Arsenal's boss who would be the "main supporter" behind Garcia's transfer.

However, La Liga side Girona are also interested, with the north Londoners facing late competition for Garcia's signature.

"In addition to Girona's interest, Eric Garcia has also been linked with a possible move to Arsenal," Mundo wrote.

"The 'Gunner' team is looking for a replacement for the injured Jurrien Timber and the name of the Barça defender is on the list of candidates.

"Coach Mikel Arteta knows him well from his joint stage at Manchester City and would be the main supporter of his return to the Premier League"

What's been said about Eric Garcia?

The Spaniard has showcased his quality at various points, with Barca boss Xavi even calling him "extraordinary" and a "role model" of a player.

"Eric is extraordinary," said Xavi to the media late last year.

"I value him a lot, he is important to us. He plays in a very complicated position because, at Barca, a centre-back is always exposed. But he is a role model in the dressing room and we value him a lot."

Chasing 287 on a pitch with treacherous low bounce, India ended day four of the Centurion Test 35 for 3, with both their openers and Virat Kohli back in the dressing room

The Report by Karthik Krishnaswamy16-Jan-20180:58

Holding: ‘India have an outstanding chance of chasing 270-280’

Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsWith one day left to play at SuperSport Park, South Africa are seven wickets from taking an unassailable 2-0 lead, and India are a distant 252 runs from levelling the Test series. Having bowled South Africa out for 258 in their second innings, India were left with the task of chasing 287 with the best part of four sessions remaining. They ended day four 35 for 3, with two of their top-order batsmen already lost to treacherous low bounce, and another out to a loose shot.The new ball had shown a definite tendency to keep low at the start of South Africa’s second innings on day three, and Jasprit Bumrah had removed Aiden Markram and Hashim Amla with shooters pitching short of a good length. India lost M Vijay and Virat Kohli in the same manner; Vijay played on to one from Rabada that shot through at just above ankle height; Kohli was lbw to a nip-backer from Lungi Ngidi that went through at knee height.Given that the older ball did not misbehave quite as much in South Africa’s innings, India might have accepted it if they had only lost those two wickets in the 23 overs they played until stumps. They lost one more, however, to a ball that didn’t deserve a wicket; Ngidi bowled it short and wide, and perhaps it stopped slightly on KL Rahul – he shaped to cut, checked his shot as he played it, and ended up slicing it straight into backward point’s hands.At stumps, Cheteshwar Pujara was batting on 11 and with him was Parthiv Patel – promoted ahead of Rohit Sharma to No. 5, possibly since he’s the only left-hander in India’s XI – on 5.BCCI

South Africa were bowled out in the tenth over after tea, with Mohammed Shami’s four wickets playing a key role in keeping India in the contest. Shami’s key interventions came when he took three wickets in a seven-over spell before lunch, after AB de Villiers and Dean Elgar had put on 141 for the third wicket.Bumrah and Ishant Sharma were also among the wickets, finishing with 5 for 110 between them, while R Ashwin toiled wicketless for 29.2 overs before ending the innings by getting last man Ngidi caught in the deep.Thanks to the slowness of the pitch, low bounce was a manageable threat for South Africa’s batsmen once the ball became older and softer. Even so, de Villiers breathed a sigh of relief when Bumrah got one to keep low in the fourth over of the morning as well, but this time the line was just outside off stump.Conditions were otherwise reasonably good to bat in, and with India also offering de Villiers release balls every now and then – width the most frequent culprit – South Africa’s lead was beginning to trouble India, and their worries were compounded by Elgar’s stay. He never looked comfortable at the crease, particularly against Ashwin’s offspin but kept fighting cussedly, bringing up his half-century with a drive through extra-cover off Ishant.The breakthrough arrived thanks to extra bounce, Shami getting one to rear at de Villiers in the corridor to find a bit of glove through to Parthiv Patel. Then, Shami dropped one short to Elgar, who had pulled a similar ball to the boundary at the start of his spell, but this time he hit it in the air and within range of KL Rahul patrolling the square-leg boundary.Ashwin, who kept getting the ball to dip into awkward areas and turn sharply, nearly had a wicket in the over after Elgar’s dismissal. Faf du Plessis, stretching forward, failed to get to the pitch of an offbreak and flicked it in the air. Rahul, diving full-length to his right at leg gully, only got his fingertips to it.There was more frustration waiting for India in the next over. Shami kept hitting a good length outside off stump, and finding just a bit of seam movement. De Kock, seemingly unaware of the option of leaving the ball, kept throwing his hands at it. Three successive edges flew to the boundary, two wide of the slips and one just beyond Parthiv’s reach as he dived to his left. The next ball produced another poke from de Kock; this time, it was close enough to Parthiv for him to take the catch.The game had rattled along in the morning session; it nearly came to a standstill after tea, with both sides sitting back and waiting for a mistake from the other. It was understandable, given how delicately poised the Test match was. Bowling in tandem, Hardik Pandya and Ishant kept bowling just short of a good length, often sending down cutters, and conceded only 14 runs in 11 overs, discomfiting both du Plessis and Vernon Philander with movement or inconsistent bounce but without creating a chance.It took a short, harmless-looking ball to end the seventh-wicket partnership at 46, Philander unbalanced on the pull and caught at square leg. Then, in his next over, Ishant got one to lift unexpectedly in the fifth-stump channel, and Keshav Maharaj nicked to Parthiv off the shoulder of the bat.Du Plessis remained at the crease, forever a thorn in India’s flesh; when he pulled the returning Shami for four off the last ball before tea, he had moved to 37 off 122 balls. He survived a dropped chance on 46 when Bumrah put down a return catch, but fell to a near-replay in his next over, two short of his second fifty of the match. In between, Shami sent back Kagiso Rabada with bounce and seam movement in the corridor, Virat Kohli taking a good, low catch at second slip.
