West Brom are in the race to sign a "superb" international player on loan in the January transfer window, according to a fresh update.

West Brom transfer news

The Baggies continue to look like strong promotion contenders in the Championship this season, with Carlos Corberan guiding his side into the playoff positions currently.

While an automatic spot is looking difficult, given the relentless nature of Leicester City and Ipswich Town, West Brom look like one of the best of the rest. For them to continue this consistency, new signings in January could be needed, however, in terms of having as many options as possible, and keeping players fresh come the business end of the campaign.

Peterborough United ace Kwame Poku has emerged as a rumoured transfer target for the Baggies, with six goals and seven assists coming his way this season, and Barnsley midfielder Callum Styles has also been seen as a potential addition at the Hawthorns.

Now, a fresh claim suggests that West Brom could be looking to the Premier League for January reinforcements, with a temporary move for one player in the offing.

West Brom want Conor Bradley

According to TEAMtalk, West Brom have made contact with Liverpool youngster Conor Bradley over a loan move in January, but face stiff competition for his signature.

"TEAMtalk has been informed Liverpool are ready to loan out defensive prospect Conor Bradley in January and are fielding enquiries from a host of clubs.

"TEAMtalk has been told that up to a dozen clubs have made contact with the Reds as Bradley would be a player in real demand if they allowed him to leave. Among those interested are Burnley, Leeds, Middlesbrough and West Brom."

Bradley could be a really astute signing by West Brom, with the 20-year-old even in action for Liverpool on Thursday night, playing all 90 minutes of his side's 2-1 defeat to Union SG in the Europa League.

The right-back's playing time for the Reds is clearly going to be limited, however, considering Trent Alexander-Arnold is among Europe's leading players in his position, and Joe Gomez also represents a solid option, so a loan move could make perfect sense for everyone.

The 13-time capped Northern Ireland international has been hailed by veteran international colleague Jonny Evans in the recent past, with the Manchester United defender saying of him:

"I thought Conor Bradley was superb the other night [against Kosovo], and Shea Charles came in during the summer and that is what we want to see – young lads making an impression and hopefully bring the country forward."

Bradley could come straight in and provide competition for Darnell Furlong at right-back, easing his workload and giving Corberan an extra option in that position, and he is someone who will have learned from playing alongside some world-class footballers, from Mohamed Salah to Virgil van Dijk.

There is clearly a lot of interest in the Liverpool man – a switch to Burnley would allow him to remain in the Premier League – but the lure of the Baggies could still be great, as they chase promotion back to the top flight, making this one to watch.

GOALWHAT NEXT FOR RASHFORD

Rashford is currently facing an uncertain future at Manchester United after a poor campaign. The forward has scored just seven Premier League goals in what's been a tough season for the Red Devils. Erik ten Hag's side are said to be willing to listen to offers for Rashford this summer, although it's been reported Paris Saint-Germain have cooled their interest in the forward.

South Africa demonstrated the ruthless instinct that has brought them seven straight series win at home, rounding up the seven Pakistan wickets they needed before lunch on day four at the Wanderers. Duanne Olivier made the early inroads, taking his wicket tally for the series to 24, before Kagiso Rabada scythed through the tail to help confirm a 3-0 whitewash.Pakistan did manage to breach the 200-mark for the only the second time in six innings, but that was small consolation as they fell to another heavy defeat. Asad Shafiq top-scored with 65 from 71 and there was some devil-may-care hitting lower down, though little to suggest the tourists ever harboured serious hopes of chasing 381 for a consolation victory.While the efforts of the top order on the third evening declared that Pakistan were not willing to run up the white flag in their last act of the series, it did not take long for them to buckle once play had resumed. For the second time in the match, Olivier found himself on a hat-trick and when Shafiq’s punchy innings was ended by Vernon Philander a few overs later, the bulk of South Africa’s hard work had been done.Babar Azam is one player who has left a mark on South Africa – just ask Dale Steyn – but he could do little about the Olivier throat ball he received in the third over of the morning, a pawing, snorting delivery worthy of the Bullring that flicked the bottom glove on its way through. Sarfraz Ahmed was then bluffed out first ball, hanging back for the short one only for Olivier to hit the top of off stump as the bat came belatedly into line.There was a second fifty of the series for Shafiq – although 185 runs at 31.00 was an underwhelming return for one of Pakistan’s senior batsmen – and a few more retaliatory boundaries before he walked down at Philander and diverted tamely to second slip.With Pakistan now 179 for 6 little more than half an hour into the morning session, and the target a hazy dot on the Highveld horizon, the rest was mostly formality. Shadab Khan had negotiated Olivier’s hat-trick delivery by sending a compact drive back down the ground for four, and he added 25 in partnership with Faheem Ashraf, before the latter’s fun was ended by an excellent diving catch at gully from Aiden Markram.The same combination of Markram and Rabada removed Mohammad Amir two overs later, bat dangled apologetically in the channel, and although Hasan Ali made merry while hitting two fours and a six in 22 of 14, he soon sent up a steepling caught-and-bowled chance for Rabada to swallow.Shadab demonstrated a correct technique and some enterprising strokes, hitting seven fours to move within sight of a fourth Test fifty. However, having put on 31 for the last wicket with Mohammad Abbas, forcing the lunch interval to be pushed back, an impetuous call by the No. 11 ended Pakistan’s resistance via a run-out.

The Lomu-Crowe Trophy will bring together cricket and rugby players for the inaugural Black Clash Twenty20 match at Christchurch’s Hagley Oval on January 25

ESPNcricinfo staff16-Jan-2019Martin Crowe and Jonah Lomu, the late New Zealand rugby player, have been commemorated with a cricket trophy named after them. The Hagley Oval in Christchurch will bring together cricket and rugby players for the inaugural ‘Black Clash’ Twenty20 match on January 25.Squads

Team Rugby: Kieran Read (capt), Richie McCaw, Israel Dagg, Beauden Barrett, Jordie Barrett, Aaron Smith, Jason Spice, Ali Williams, Kendra Cocksedge, Kaylum Boshier, Ofisa Tunu’u (wk), David Hussey (international wildcard)
Team Cricket: Brendon McCullum (capt), Grant Elliott, Luke Ronchi (wk), Kyle Mills, Chris Harris, Nathan Astle, James Franklin, Hamish Marshall, Liz Perry

Team Rugby have signed up former Australia batsman David Hussey as the international wildcard.Lomu, who was a globally renowned rugby star, was New Zealand’s youngest ever All Black, when he made his debut at the age of 19. He died at the age of 40, following a heart attack. Crowe, the former New Zealand captain, and one of the country’s greatest batsman, lost a long battle to cancer in March 2016, aged 53.”It’s truly fitting that the names of these two national heroes have pride of place on what is a wonderful, iconic piece of Kiwi art,” David Higgins, the founder and director of the Duco Events Group, which is organising the event, said.”I’ve always believed that Martin and Jonah have not been fully recognised for the contribution they made to the country through their tremendous deeds on and off the sports field. Both Martin and Jonah were men whose achievements transcended the sports field. So to be able to honour them even in a small way by naming the T20 Black Clash trophy the Lomu-Crowe trophy just feels right.”The Lomu-Crowe trophy is designed after a Maori adze, featuring a finish blade made of greenstone. Created by the famed New Zealand artist Shane ‘Spud’ Dudley, the trophy was unveiled in Christchurch on Wednesday, along with player jerseys for the two teams.”It’s huge. Look at the trophy, it’s amazing, it’s beautiful,” Israel Dagg, the All Blacks and Crusaders outside back, said. “It symbolises New Zealand and, obviously, you’ve got two great, world renowned athletes in Lomu and Crowe. Those names will live on forever.”Dagg will be one of 12 players who are a part of Team Rugby. Dagg has had a tryst with cricket in the past, when in 2005, when he was 16, he was invited to bowl at the Australian nets. Dagg had reportedly clocked 143kmph, earning the endorsement of Brett Lee.”I’ll try and get it down as fast as I can,” he said. “Obviously, with rugby you do a lot more upper body weights. I’ll try and do 130, something like that. I live pretty close to [All Blacks captain Kieran] Reado, so I might knock on his door and go and have a net.”Team Rugby have an uphill battle against a Team Cricket that is full of former New Zealand stars, such as Grant Elliott, New Zealand’s hero in the 2015 World Cup semifinal and final, who sold the match’s competitive spirit. “Absolutely. Everything to lose, nothing to gain but our pride,” he said. “I think pride is the important thing. I’ve always seen games like this start off with a bit of a smile on the face, but then there’s always a pivotal moment and suddenly that completive spirit takes over.”Team Rugby will don the red and black colours of Canterbury, while Team Cricket will turn out in blue. Team Cricket haven’t yet picked a wildcard, who will be announced next week.

JOGO COMEÇA COM INTER CRIANDO CHANCES
O jogo começou com o São Paulo tentando impor o seu ritmo, com a posse de bola e passes desde a defesa. Porém, logo com um minuto de jogo, Luciano perdeu a bola para Patrick, que rolou para Yuri Alberto. O atacante bateu para Volpi defender em dois tempos.

Com a chance desperdiçada, o Inter se animou e conseguiu mais uma boa chance de gol. Com quatro minutos,Praxedes cruzou para Dourado na segunda trave, em jogada ensaiada, e o volante cabeceou para o meio da área. Cuesta chegou batendo, mas finalizou por cima do gol.

CUESTA ABRE O PLACAR PARA O COLORADO
​Ligado no ataque, o Internacional não parou e abriu o placar na bola parada. Aos sete minutos,Moisés cruzou bem na entrada da pequena área, e Víctor Cuesta antecipou todo mundo para aparecer sozinho e cabecear firme, estufando a rede do São Paulo.

Em desvantagem no placar, o Tricolor tentou algumas investidas ao ataque. Aos nove minutos, Luciano tocou de cabeça fraco, nas não de Marcelo Lomba. Três minutos depois, Tchê Tchê ficou com a sobra na entrada da área e bateu forte de primeira. A bola saiu ao lado do gol do Colorado.

O Inter voltou a assustar aos 16 minutos.Patrick recuperou a bola no meio-campo e lançou Yuri Alberto na grande área. O atacante pedalou para cima de Luan e bateu no canto de Volpi, mas a bola foi para fora.

SUPERIOR, INTER AMPLIA A VANTAGEM NO MORUMBI
​Jogando no erro do São Paulo, o Internacional apostava nas jogadas rápidas, nas costas dos laterais do Tricolor. Foi dessa forma que o Colorado chegou ao segundo gol. Com 23 minutos, Patrick lançou Yuri Alberto, que achou Caio Vidal no meio da defesa. O atacante dominou e tocou na saída de Volpi. A bola ainda bateu em Reinaldo e entrou de mansinho.

O São Paulo não conseguia chegar ao gol e dava muitos espaços ao Internacional. Aos 32, Yuri Alberto recebeu a bola na beirada da área, pela esquerda, e tenta o chute rasteiro no canto de Volpi. A bola foi para fora.

LUCIANO DESCONTA PARA O SÃO PAULO ANTES DO INTERVALO
Encontrando dificuldades para criar pelo chão, o Tricolor conseguiu chegar ao gol na bola parada. Com 35 minutos,Juanfran bateu escanteio na primeira trave, Reinaldo desviou, e Luciano cabeceou na segunda trave para diminuir.

O Internacional ainda conseguiu assustar com 40 minutos. Caio Vidal recebeu na direita e cruzou na área. Volpi saiu dando um tapa na bola para afastar, e Patrick apareceu na sobra. O meia chutou para fora, levando perigo ao gol do São Paulo. Aos 45, Luciano disputou bola com Lomba e quase pegou o rebote para mandar pro gol. Moisés tirou para escanteio.

SEGUNDA ETAPA INICIA COM SÃO PAULO TENTANDO PRESSIONAR
​Perdendo a partida, o São Paulo veio com alterações. Vitor Bueno entrou no lugar de Léo e Igor Gomes entrou na vaga de Gabriel Sara. As alterações fez o Tricolor ir mais para o ataque. Aos quatro minutos, Reinaldo invadiu a área e bateu, mas foi travado por Rodinei.

Um minuto depois, Tchê Tchê pegou a sobra do escanteio e bateu duas vezes. Na primeira, ele foi travado e na segunda, a bola foi fraca, nas mãos de Marcelo Lomba. Aos sete, foi a vez de Vitor Bueno tentar o chute de fora da área, mas a bola novamente bateu em Rodinei.

NOVO VACILO PERMITE TERCEIRO GOL DO INTERNACIONAL
​O São Paulo parecia crescer, mas uma nova bobeada na saída de bola permitiu o Inter fazer o terceiro. Vitor Bueno recebeu de Luciano na entrada da área, mas perdeu a bola. Ela sobrou para Yuri Alberto, que saiu cara a cara com Volpi e tocou na saída do goleiro. 3 x 1 para o Inter. Três minutos depois, Daniel Alves arriscou forte de fora da área, e Marcelo Lomba encaixou firme.

YURI ALBERTO FAZ MAIS DOIS E TRANSFORMA VITÓRIA EM GOLEADA
Aos 20 minutos, Edenílson tocou para Peglow na intermediária de ataque, que enfiou uma linda bola para Yuri Alberto. O atacante passou por Volpi e chutou olhando para o outro lado para ampliar e fazer o quarto da equipe gaúcha.

E não parou por aí. Dois minutos depois,Daniel Alves perdeu a bola no meio, e Parick lançou Yuri Alberto pela esquerda. O atacante invadiu a área e bateu na saída do goleiro para marcar o terceiro na partida, quinto do Internacional em pleno Morumbi.

Logo depois, aos 24, Peglow ficou com a sobra no meio e arrancou no campo de ataque. O meia invadiu a área, e tentou tocar na saída de Volpi, mas o goleiro são-paulino fez boa defesa, evitando o sexto gol do Colorado.

A partir daí, o jogo ficou morno, sem muitas chances de gol de ambas as equipes. Vitória incontestável do Internacional, que agora é o novo líder do Campeonato Brasileiro, com sete rodadas para o final da competição.

Leicester City are believed to be battling one of their Championship rivals for the loan signing of an "incredible" player in the January transfer window.

Leicester chasing Championship glory

The Foxes may have suffered the misery of being relegated from the Premier League last season, but they haven't felt sorry for themselves, instead making a hugely promising start to the 2023/24 campaign. Under new manager Enzo Maresca, Leicester sit comfortably in the top two of the Championship table with 20 matches played, and if they win their game in hand they will overtake current leaders Ipswich Town.

They are the favourites to gain automatic promotion back to the Premier League, with so many players in their squad top-flight talents who are arguably too good for this level, from Wilfred Ndidi to Jamie Vardy. Maresca will feel that some January signings will increase his side's chances of going up even more, however, and it looks as though they are keen on an exciting attacking star.

Leicester want to sign Amad Diallo

According to a fresh transfer report from Football Insider, Leicester are interested in signing Manchester United youngster Amad Diallo on loan in January, but face competition from another Championship side.

"Leicester City and Sunderland are ready to take Man United winger Amad Diallo on loan for the second half of the 2023-24 campaign, sources have told Football Insider. Football Insider revealed on Monday (11 December) that Erik ten Hag is keen to take a look at Diallo in action for his side in the coming weeks after he returned from a serious knee injury.

"But it is believed that if he cannot make an impression before the end of January, Man United will sanction another loan exit for the Ivory Coast international."

It is also stated that some Premier League clubs are "monitoring" Diallo's situation, so there could be a huge battle to snap him up next month. The 21-year-old could be a wonderful loan signing by Leicester, having impressed on a temporary basis for Sunderland last season, scoring 14 goals in 29 Championship starts, helping the Black Cats finish in the playoff places.

Leicester could sign "incredible" £4m Souttar upgrade

This “incredible” £4m gem could be the perfect player to replace Harry Souttar at Leicester City.

ByAdam Scully Dec 10, 2023

Predominantly an attacking midfielder, Diallo is very much at home in wide roles, and he could provide Maresca with an extra attacking spark at a time when legs could begin to tire in the second half of the season. His brilliance is summed up by Sunderland's Luke O'Nien, who said of him earlier this year:

"I said it the other day to someone, the day he came in, the standards he’s raised just in terms of what he does on the ball is incredible. [To Amad] So yeah, thank you, man! You’ve still got a job to do! But yeah he’s been incredible, we love him and I know the fans love him as well."

Diallo has shown that he can thrive in the Championship in the past, and assuming United allow him to leave on loan next month, snapping him up is a no-brainer for Leicester.

Sancho was in brilliant form as Dortmund won 1-0 at Signal Iduna Park in the first leg, thanks to Niclas Fullkrug's 35th minute goal. The Manchester United loanee turned in a supreme performance, and became the first Englishman to complete 11 or more take-ons in a single Champions League game, and the first to do so in a semi-final since Lionel Messi against Manchester United in 2008, who completed 16.

In a dismal spell at United, in which he scored 12 goals, Sancho never managed to complete over seven take-ons in a single game in his 58 league appearances, but he did so against PSG within 30 minutes.

South Africa are wary of a resurgent Pakistan team that cruised to a five-wicket win in the first of five one-day internationals in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.”We know Pakistan is a good one-day outfit,” opener Reeza Hendricks, who contributed 45 to an opening stand of 82 in the first ODI, said. “They’ve been performing really well over the years in one-day cricket, so we’re quite wary and know that they’re a good team. They proved it by beating us in P.E.”Hendricks’ opening partnership with Hashim Amla allowed South Africa to set a platform, but a sluggish track and a committed bowling effort meant the hosts were never able to substantially up the run rate. Hendricks struck at 67.16 during his knock, and after him neither Amla or Rassie van der Dussen were able to raise their strike rates as high as a run a ball. Although David Miller capped the innings with a 12-ball 16, South Africa’s 266 for 2 was not enough to challenge a Pakistan top order that took more risks but completed the chase with five balls to spare.”In our minds, we thought it would be a good score,” Hendricks said. “There were slower conditions in the day, and it did quicken up at night. In our minds, we thought we went about it the right way. The batters that were in the middle felt it was a good score.”We’ve had a good discussion around the PE game, what went wrong and what we can learn from. It’s been those discussions we’ve had, and a good training session today ahead of tomorrow’s game.”With the World Cup five months away, the tournament is providing increasing context to the one-day cricket being played in the interim and every member of South Africa’s squad will see the series against Pakistan as a chance to stake a claim. Rassie van der Dussen made an immediate impact on debut with his 93, but his performance did not come as a surprise to Hendricks, who has shared a dressing room with van der Dussen with the Lions franchise for several seasons.”I was quite proud to see him make his debut and contributing the way he has,” Hendricks said of van der Dussen. “Obviously disappointed that he couldn’t get to his three-figure mark, but at the end of the day he played really well to contribute as well as he did. I’ve played a couple of seasons now with him. I know his capabilities and seen him improve over the years. He showed what he’s about to deserve a spot in the team.”Hendricks admitted that a spot in the World Cup squad would be “a dream” and would mean “a hell of a lot” to him, but he insisted that his focus is much more short-term.”I’m not looking at it like that,” he said. “Yes, the World Cup is around the corner but we’ve got a series on hand now at the moment and this is an opportunity that we get as well. We take it as it comes. Personally, I’m taking it game by game, trying to contribute as well as I can to each game and every opportunity I get, and the rest will take care of itself. I’m not looking too far ahead, or looking who’s around me, because at the end of the day if I don’t get selected I know the player next to me and the guys that are going will do the job, and I back them 100 percent.”Aside from individual aspirations, the remaining nine ODIs scheduled for South Africa before the World Cup also provide an opportunity to fine-tune ‘Vision 2019’, the team’s blueprint for what they believe will bring success at the tournament.”We’re quite close,” Hendricks said. “I think we’re on the right track. We’ve had a good chat in how to go about it and how we’re playing, and as a unit we’re all buying into it. We’re doing good things. There are still a couple of months to try and get it right for the World Cup.”
