Does anyone fancy a bit of Va Va Voom? Of course, you do. If you're reading this then it's likely you're an Arsenal fan. You love Thierry Henry. You love the swagger, you love the charisma and most importantly, you love the goals.

There have been none better in Arsenal's history. There has, arguably, been no better foreign import in Premier League history either.

Henry personified the Arsene Wenger years in north London. There were many of them, but the two Frenchmen came together to conjure up the most successful years in the club's history.

Signed as a spritely young winger from Juventus, Wenger turned his fellow countryman into one of the most feared strikers in history.

He scored a club-record 228 goals for the Gunners and took home two Premier League titles, two FA Cups and a UEFA Champions League runners-up medal. He even won the World Cup while an Arsenal player.

Now cast in bronze outside the Emirates Stadium, he is still held in incredibly high regard by those in N5. That said, they once missed out on an incredible opportunity to bring the next Henry to the Premier League. That's a certain Kylian Mbappe.

When Arsenal missed out on Kylian Mbappe

You could build a pretty fearsome squad out of the players Arsenal have allegedly missed out on across the years.

There have been stories of how Sir Alex Ferguson beat Wenger to Cristiano Ronaldo, how there was interest in Lionel Messi and of course, that fateful trial that Zlatan Ibrahimovic had with the club.

However, if we're talking about the modern era, their failure to convince an incredibly young Mbappe to make the move to London will surely still sting.

So, what's the story here? Well, speaking in 2021 after he'd left the club, Wenger revealed how they came close to luring the player to English shores.

Oh Arsene, what might have been, eh? There was even the chance to sign him in 2017 before the great Frenchman moved to PSG.

That said, it didn't ever truly feel like an option for the now 25-year-old who has previously opened up about interest in him from the Gunners. "Yes, I met with Arsene Wenger, who is a great coach," Mbappe admitted.

"He has a great reputation here in France, he's well-respected and knows how to develop young players. This was a real option for me.

"But, of course, Paris Saint-Germain was the main option. We weighed up the advantages and disadvantages of all the clubs but my family told me it had to be my decision and one I needed to make."

Kylian Mbappe's transfer value in 2024

From potentially signing the amazing forward on a free transfer, it will come as no surprise to see that the attacker's transfer value has soared astronomically over the years, even if Real Madrid did sign him for no transfer fee in the summer.

Despite that, it's still a seriously expensive move for Madrid. Mbappe was reportedly paid a signing fee of just over £85m and will earn an alleged £25m a year. It's money Arsenal couldn't even dream of paying a player in wages.

While things are beginning to work out for Mikel Arteta and Co, they will no doubt lust after that Erling Haaland-esque figure to power their way past Manchester City.

Alongside the Norwegian, they are the Messi and Ronaldo of this generation. Or, as Wenger once coined him, Mbappe is "another Thierry Henry".

Among the nominees for the 2024 Ballon d'Or, there are few better in the global game than a man who scored 256 times for PSG, 44 of which came last term in 48 games.

So, what is he actually worth? Well, from the day Arsenal could have nabbed him on a free, Transfermarkt now value the World Cup winner at an eye-watering £152m.

To put that number into context, you just need to look at the graphic below where Arsenal star Bukayo Saka is valued at £118m.

This is one of the greatest what-if stories around. Perhaps one day we will get to see Mbappe in the famous red and white. It's wishful thinking, we know.

O Botafogo confirmou a força do seu futebol e, em decisão acirrada com o Fluminense na manhã deste sábado (11), saiu do Estádio das Laranjeiras com a conquista do Campeonato Carioca Sub-15. Coube a Luiz Otávio deixar o Alvinegro ainda mais em vantagem. Nos últimos minutos, Fábio chegou a decretar o empate em 1 a 1 para os tricolores, mas não foi suficiente para mudar o título de mãos.

Como os botafoguenses venceram 2 a 0 na primeira partida, no Nilton Santos, a equipe iniciou o jogo atuando nos contra-ataques. O Fluminense tentava investidas, mas era pouco incisivo, o que tornava a etapa inicial morna. O Alvinegro aos poucos foi aproveitando espaços e marcou em uma falta bem cobrada por Luiz Otávio.

Na etapa final, o Tricolor das Laranjeiras continuou a controlar os ânimos da partida. Na reta final, o Botafogo viu Luiz Otávio ser expulso. Minutos depois, o time da casa chegou ao empate, em gol de pênalti cobrado por Fábio.

Hoping to finally bolster their defensive options, Newcastle United chiefs reportedly believe that a new centre-back target with no weaker foot can replace the ageing Fabian Schar.

Newcastle transfer news

Of course, Newcastle’s need for a central defender is no secret. The Magpies spent their summer in pursuit of Marc Guehi, only to miss out on the Crystal Palace defender and fail to turn towards an alternative option.

Now without Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles due to injury, Eddie Howe has been left with Dan Burn and Emil Krafth to turn into makeshift centre-backs alongside Schar. Whilst it didn’t look as though that would catch up to the Newcastle boss just yet, Newcastle’s 3-1 defeat at the hands of Fulham exposed their problems for all to see in the Premier League.

Results such as the one at Craven Cottage make the January transfer window and next summer even more important. Those at St James’ Park endured a disastrous summer to forget last time out, but could now use 2025 to make up for lost time, starting with the addition of a central defender.

According to Graeme Bailey for HITC, Newcastle now believe that Richard King can replace Fabian Schar in the long-term, with his two-footed ability allowing him to slot in on both the left and right side of Howe’s backline. King currently plays for Jamaican outfit Cavalier, but is expected to be plying his trade in one of Europe’s top leagues very soon.

However, it seems as though the Magpies aren’t the only side interested, with West Ham United reportedly leading the race for the 18-cap Jamaican’s signature and Aston Villa also eyeing a move.

Standing at 6 foot 1, King can also play as a defensive midfielder and as a full-back in what would instantly ease Howe’s squad depth woes. That said, Newcastle will have to act fast if they are to secure the centre-back against plenty of interested parties.

"Composed" King would add much-needed depth for Newcastle

Just 22 years old and yet to test himself at the elite level, King wouldn’t necessarily start for Howe’s side right away, especially when Botman returns, but what he would crucially add is depth within the Magpies’ backline – depth that they’ve otherwise lacked for over a year. By signing the Jamaican, Newcastle would be able to finally bring an end to Burn’s centre-back run, allowing him to return to his favoured full-back role in the process.

What’s more, given that Schar is now 32 years old, there’s a high chance that King would be the man to replace the Swiss international if he did complete a move to St James’ Park in 2025.

Jamaican football expert Rayon Nelson certainly believes that King is capable of performing at a higher level, saying via HITC: “You can see there is a talent He doesn’t look like a player who will slide in and be reckless, but he’s a talent. Richard King plays football in a composed manner.

“Richard King, who has won titles at the age of 22, looks like he can hit a different level. Ball control, making the simple passes, getting out of some tight spots, I think he has the potential to do so.

“Yes, there are some areas of his game that need to be developed. Let’s say, confidence and so forth. But I don’t see him as a player who can always be average. I see him as a player who can hit a different level.”

In the words of Ron Burgundy, today is kind of a big deal

Alan Gardner21-Jul-2021So, I was watching the football the other night on the BBC, and they started advertising this thing called “the Hundred”. It looked kind of like cricket, so here I am…
Yes ma’am, you’ve come to the right place. The Hundred is the rootin’-est tootin’-est thing to happen to the game since they added a third stump. Or at least since T20 started in 2003.Why does it feel like this is something that’s been buzzing away in the back of my head for some time?
Well, the Hundred is coming in off one of the longest runs imaginable. It was first announced in 2018, to the sound of loud guffaws, and was supposed to be launched last year – only for Covid-19 to force a postponement. Now we’re hours away from the start of the competition, and nobody is laughing any more.What’s it all about then?
It is the Alpha and Omega of the English game. It is the ECB betting the farm and crossing its fingers. It’s about inspiring generations and making up for all those lost years behind the paywall on Sk…[Glazing over] Sorry, you’re losing me
Dang, got to keep this simple. In the words of Ron Burgundy, it’s kind of a big deal.Well that much I had worked out. It’s cricket with pop music and jazzy kits. But how does it differ from, say, T20?
Well, it’s shorter, for a start – 100 balls (hence the name, geddit?) compared to 120. And to speed things up they will bowl 10 balls in a row from each end, meaning a game should take less than two-and-a-half hours.That doesn’t seem significantly shorter than T20…
We live in an entertainment-rich, time-poor era. And being able to squeeze in a televised game between 6.30-9pm – primetime on the BBC – was supposedly one of the big selling points. It’s also SHINY and NEW, which might help when being dangled in front of the flighty young channel-surfers the ECB is hoping to attract to the sport.The Hundred is here, and it is going to be a load of fun. Or else…•Getty Images

The ECB thinks kids still watch linear TV?
Look there’ll also be clips on Twitter. Please don’t make this any harder than it has to be.[Returns to scrolling on smartphone] Okay, you’ve got my attention. Give me the hard sell
For the next four weeks, over the course of 34 men’s and 34 women’s games, the cream of English cricket – plus a generous dollop of overseas talent – will be bouncing around on a nightly basis in front of (hopefully) packed stands. All of the games will be broadcast on Sky’s cricket channel, with a selection also showing on the BBC (if you’re following in India, it will be on FanCode). There will be in-house DJs to add to the atmosphere in the grounds, and rule tweaks to try to makes things simpler for casual followers. As in T20, fours and sixes will be the order of the day; unlike T20, it won’t drag on until beyond the kids’ bedtime (probably, depending on when your kids go to bed). In short, every ball matters.Doesn’t every ball matter in the other formats then?
Very good, clever clogs. But they actually matter more in the Hundred, since they are now the unit of bowling currency – rather than dowdy old “overs”. Plus, if you’ve invested several million quid into getting this off the ground, as the ECB has, then it all matters a great deal.So it’s a load of balls, got it. What have they spent all the moolah on?
Well, creating eight teams from scratch, for a start. And paying the players extra wedge, particularly the overseas ones – even if a lot of them have pulled out at the last minute due to Covid-related restrictions on travel. Despite all that, the ECB still hopes that the tournament can be profitable (if you discount the annual payments of £1.3m to each of the counties in order to get the whole thing signed off – but we won’t bore you further with that here).As always, it’s about bums on seats, eyeballs on screens and selling as much Butterkist as you can…
The usual globalised capitalist schtick. The revolution will be televised – and the opening night will actually be quite revolutionary, with a standalone women’s fixture between Oval Invincibles and Manchester Originals at the Kia Oval to kick off the whole shebang. The men’s and women’s teams share the same branding and are promoted in the same way, while the two competitions will also share equal prize money.Breaking down gender barriers, eh? I like the sound of that!
Yes, although it’s probably also worth noting that the highest salary band for the women is £15,000, compared to £100,000 for the men; the lowest-paid male players will receive £24,000. There has also been a bit of a row on the eve of the tournament about extending financial support to some of the part-time female players who have had to give up work in order to satisfy biosecurity requirements.Ugh, more bio-bubble life for the players to contend with?
Not exactly – the ECB has opted against putting in place too many restrictions, with most of the rest of society in the UK opening up. But given contact tracing and the requirements to self-isolate have led to a number of cancellations in domestic cricket over recent weeks, there is a chance the Hundred could fall foul of the pandemic once again.I’ll keep my fingers crossed (and my mask on). If there’s one thing we need after the last 18 months, it’s a bit of joy in our lives again…
Yep, the ECB is banking on that. Probably while hoping the good weather holds. With restrictions on crowd capacity in England ending this week, it could potentially be a feel-good moment for the game, helping to finally neutralise some of the rancour around the concept.Related

Katherine Brunt on Women's Hundred pay row: 'Equality doesn't happen overnight'

You mean not everyone’s pleased with developments?
That would be putting it mildly. Traditional fans don’t see it as cricket, established formats have been marginalised (including the successful women’s T20 Super League), and some fear it could be the beginning of the end of the county game. But whatever your view, it’s here and it’s happening. And they do say there’s no such thing as bad publicity.Go on then, I’m sold. Give me a quick rundown of the rule changes and things I should look out for
Balls will be delivered in sets of five, with an option for captains to keep a bowler on for ten balls in a row if they’re feeling in the groove (and they can bowl their quota of 20 balls in two sets of ten each, but not consecutive sets). There will be a 25-ball Powerplay, with fielding restrictions in place, and the fielding side can call a two-minute strategic timeout thereafter. Unlike other forms of the game, if a catch is taken after the batters have crossed, the next batter in will still be on strike. For one, ahem, lucky player per side, fans will get to vote for their walk-on music. There’ll probably be a fair bit of working it all out on the hoof, but the spectacle by and large should look recognisably crickety.Sounds like something the mums and kids should be able to follow. And is it too much to ask about the musical acts involved?
Yes. Yes, it is. But you’ll give it a try?How does that song go? “I don’t like the Hundred, no…”
You love it?Steady on. I was thinking, “…but I’m not implacably opposed.”
It’s a start. We’ll take it.

West Bromwich Albion are now off the top of the Championship perch as Michael Carrick’s Middlesbrough got the better of the Baggies at the Hawthorns by a solitary goal.

In truth, it wasn’t the most action-packed spectacle in the West Midlands, but Hayden Hackney would manage to coolly slot home a chance late on for the away side to be crowned slim 1-0 victors.

There were many underperformers on the night from West Brom’s perspective, with two defeats now worryingly picked up on the spin for the early promotion chasers, after they had once set the pace for the division.

The main West Brom underperformers vs Boro

It was a very poor display from the attackers at Carlos Corberan’s disposal, with just one shot on target accumulated come the full-time whistle.

The likes of Jed Wallace and Karlan Grant were notably below-par down the wings, as the Baggies captain failed to create chances galore for his teammates with just 14 accurate passes registered, whilst Grant failed to complete a single dribble from four attempts.

Moreover, it was another weak showing from Darnell Furlong after his own goal away at Sheffield Wednesday – who is usually one of the first names on the Spaniard’s teamsheet – with the Baggies number two uncharacteristically sloppy on the ball by squandering possession a costly 16 times.

But, one performance, in particular, will have been heavily scrutinised under the microscope post-match more than others, as Josh Maja failed to ever spark into life.

Maja's performance vs Boro in numbers

It was a strangely wasteful performance from the ex-Fulham striker, who had this golden opportunity put on a plate for him by Alex Mowatt deep into the second 45 minutes, only for his connection to be all off.

Before Tuesday night’s game, Maja had seven goals in seven for the Baggies in league action, but struggled throughout in a bid to make it an unbelievable eight from eight against Carrick’s visitors.

It wasn’t just Maja’s ineffectiveness in front of goal that would make for grim reading when digging into his numbers post-match, with the 25-year-old also poor on the ball with possession lost 12 times across his flat 90 minutes on the pitch.

The Nigerian attacker was also weak when asserting himself into duels, away from those possession numbers, with only 40% of his duels successfully won on the night to truly cap off a dire individual showing leading the line for Corberan’s men.

It will be intriguing to see if the Baggies boss decides to drop Maja for West Brom’s next Championship clash this weekend against Millwall, with the former Huddersfield Town manager well aware that bold calls such as axing the usually potent centre-forward could get a reaction out of his troops, who have now surprisingly tasted defeat twice in quick succession.

Still, Corberan could also stick by the 25-year-old for the test of Neil Harris’ men on Saturday, with Maja leading the way for most goals scored in the division even after this quiet showing.

The last two games will have acted as a big wake-up call for the West Brom manager, as the Baggies now find themselves outside of the top two positions and bruised ahead of more challenging Championship clashes to come.

A busca do Flamengo pelo novo treinador terá mais capítulos em Portugal. O VP de futebol do clube, Marcos Braz, e o diretor executivo da pasta, Bruno Spindel, trocaram as passagens de volta ao Brasil e refizeram as reservas no hotel para ficar em Lisboa, pelo menos, até o dia 30 de dezembro. A informação foi dada pelo site “ge”.

Spindel e Braz partiram do Brasil no sábado e no domingo, respectivamente. Desde então, deram início as reuniões com os candidatos – e os representantes dos candidatos – ao cargo de treinador do Flamengo.

O primeiro entrevistado para o cargo foi Paulo Sousa, atual técnico da Polônia. O Rubro-Negro já foi avisado de que um desligamento da seleção não será um impeditivo para assumir o Fla, e o treinador reiterou o desejo de trabalhar no futebol brasileiro (saiba detalhes).

A última novidade na saga foi o encontro dos dirigentes do Flamengo com Jorge Jesus. A informação foi confirmada pelo auxiliar do Mister, João de Deus, mas, por outro lado, ele destacou que o treinador não tem o desejo de abandonar o Benfica. Fora isso, o próprio clube português soltou uma nota em que refutava cabalmente a existência de qualquer acordo para liberar Jesus.

Remains open to the possibility of playing white-ball cricket for the country in the future

Firdose Moonda25-Aug-2021

Sean Williams played 14 Tests, 136 ODIs and 47 T20Is for Zimbabwe•Associated Press

Sean Williams has informed the Zimbabwe team management of his intention to step away from international cricket after the team’s current tour of Ireland, but he remains open to the possibility of playing white-ball cricket for the country in the future.Williams, the Zimbabwe Test captain right now, is with the national team in Ireland, but had earlier requested the selectors to not consider him for the five T20Is in Ireland, starting Friday, or the T20Is in Scotland next month. But he is available for the three ODIs against Ireland, which will come after the T20Is. ESPNcricinfo understands that he has cited biobubble fatigue and uncertainty over his future as a cricketer as the main reasons for his decision. Williams arrived in Ireland on Wednesday, six days after the rest of the squad, after requesting a mental-health break from the T20I series, and told the team management of his decision while in isolation.Related

Williams, Taylor, Ervine named in Zimbabwe squad

Before his arrival, Zimbabwe Cricket had to announce a fifth captain since the start of 2020 for the tour. Craig Ervine will lead the side in Ireland and Scotland following on from Chamu Chibhabha, Brendan Taylor, Sikandar Raza and Williams over the last few series.ESPNcricinfo understands that while Williams was not unhappy to not be given leadership duties on this tour, he had several other gripes with the way Zimbabwe cricket is being run and their string of poor results. Under coach Lalchand Rajput, Zimbabwe have only won four ODIs in three years, all against the UAE, and there are serious concerns among senior players that they will not qualify for the 2023 50-over World Cup – Zimbabwe are currently at the bottom of the World Cup Super League points table.Williams, 34, is a veteran of the Zimbabwe team, having made his international debut in 2005, when he turned out in an ODI against South Africa in Johannesburg. Overall, he has played 14 Tests, 136 ODIs and 47 T20Is. Primarily a middle-order batter, the left-handed Williams has 1034 runs in Tests, at an average of 41.36, with four centuries and three half-centuries, as well as 3958 ODI runs at 35.02, with four hundreds and 32 fifties. He also 945 runs in T20Is, at an average of 22.50 and strike rate of 128.39, with six fifties. To go with those numbers, he has picked up 21 wickets in Tests, 72 in ODIs, and 32 in T20Is with his left-arm spin.He led Zimbabwe for the first time during a triangular T20I series in Singapore, with Nepal as the third team, in September-October 2019, but has been the team’s captain in a more regular capacity since 2020. His performance with the bat, especially, has been noteworthy since he was given the reins of the Test team: three of his four Test centuries have come in four Tests as captain, including his best of 151* in what could turn out to be his last Test, and he has an average of 96.20 in those games.
