كشف الإعلامي أحمد شوبير عن تفاصيل مهمة تخص انتخابات النادي الأهلي المُقبلة، مؤكدًا أن اجتماع مجلس الإدارة اليوم برئاسة الكابتن محمود الخطيب سيحسم الإعلان عن فتح باب الترشح، وسط مؤشرات قوية على نية الخطيب خوض الانتخابات مرة أخرى وإجراء تغييرات بارزة في قائمته، مع ترقب الجماهير لمفاجآت عديدة في الأسماء المرشحة.

وقال شوبير في تصريحات عبر برنامجه الإذاعي صباح اليوم الإثنين: “اليوم اجتماع مجلس إدارة النادي الأهلي برئاسة الكابتن محمود الخطيب، وحسب معلوماتي فهو إما عاد بالأمس من العمرة أو سيعود اليوم بسلامة الله، وعمرته مقبولة بإذن الله”.

وتابع: “في هذا الاجتماع سيُعلن عن فتح باب الانتخابات المقررة يوم 31 أكتوبر المقبل، ليصبح الأهلي أول نادٍ يفتح باب الانتخابات بعد التعديلات الجديدة في قانون الرياضة”.

وأضاف: “اليوم سيتم الإعلان عن فتح باب الترشح لانتخابات الأهلي، وهذه الانتخابات ستشهد مفاجآت بالجملة، هناك أسماء كبيرة ستخرج من القائمة، وأسماء جديدة ستنضم إليها، والأغلب أن الكابتن الخطيب سيعلن ترشحه، لكن كل شيء وارد في عالم الانتخابات، الأجواء الآن داخل الأهلي تشير إلى أن الخطيب سيترشح ويجدد قائمته، مع خروج بعض الأسماء التي ارتبط بها الجمهور”.

وشدد: “من أبرز الأسماء المرشحة لدخول القائمة السيد ياسين منصور كنائب للرئيس، وهذا لا يقلل أبداً من المهندس خالد مرتجي، فبعد وفاة العامري فاروق، أصبح مرتجي قائماً بأعمال نائب الرئيس، وكانت التوقعات أن يتولى المنصب في الدورة المقبلة، دخول ياسين منصور سيحدث تغييراً كبيراً، حيث يبدو أن الخطيب سيستمر رئيساً، وياسين منصور نائباً للرئيس، مع احتفاظ خالد مرتجي بمنصب أمين الصندوق”.

وواصل: “بالنسبة للعضويات، لا أستطيع أن أجزم بمن سيبقى ومن سيخرج، لكن أرفض بشدة حملات التشكيك التي تطال أسماء مثل محمد سراج، فهو شاب نشيط ومجتهد وأداؤه كان رائعاً طوال وجوده في المجلس، سواء استمر أو خرج، فهذا لا ينفي مجهوده وقيمته، في آخر جلسة قال بنفسه إنه لم يعد يملك نفس الشغف للاستمرار، لكن هذا لا يعني أنه مستبعد، فقد يراجع قراره”.

وأردف: “المؤسف أن نسمع عن حملات تُدار ضد بعض الأعضاء، إذا كان هناك من داخل النادي من يشن مثل هذه الحملات، فهذه كارثة حقيقية، لا يجوز أبداً أن تصل الأمور إلى هذا الحد من السيطرة والتأثير على أعضاء مجلس الإدارة، أنا شخصياً لا أصدق أن هذا يحدث، لكن مجرد ترديد مثل هذه الأحاديث أمر صادم وغير مقبول”.

وواصل: “أشيد بأداء جميع أعضاء المجلس الحالي، ولا أريد أن أذكر أسماء بعينها حتى لا يُفهم أنني ألمّح إلى خروج أو بقاء أحد، لكن من المؤكد أن الفترة المقبلة ستشهد الكثير من الأسماء المرشحة، والباب مفتوح لكل من يريد الترشح سواء في قائمة الخطيب أو بشكل فردي أو حتى عبر قوائم أخرى”.

واستكمل: “يبقى السؤال: من يستطيع مواجهة قائمة الكابتن محمود الخطيب إذا أعلن ترشحه؟ الحقيقة أن الخطيب يملك شعبية هائلة داخل وخارج النادي، مثلما كان صالح سليم وحسن حمدي من قبله، وهو قادر على قيادة قائمته للفوز”.

وأكد: “الأسماء المتداولة حالياً تضم أحمد حسام عوض، أحمد أمين مسعود، ياسين منصور، وتردد أيضاً اسم حازم هلال، بالإضافة إلى طرح اسم محمد مرجان بقوة في الفترة الأخيرة، وهناك أيضاً أسماء أخرى قد تظهر مثل الكابتن طاهر أبو زيد أو المهندس محمود طاهر، رغم أنهم لم يحسموا موقفهم حتى الآن”.

واختتم: “الخلاصة أن الموقف داخل النادي الأهلي يشير إلى انتخابات قوية مليئة بالمفاجآت، والكل يترقب الخطوة الرسمية الأولى بفتح باب الترشح اليوم”.

There’s something fitting about Heung-min Son’s decision to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer, ending this lengthy chapter with a trophy, but it still hurts.

The 33-year-old forward revealed during a pre-season press conference in Seoul, South Korea, that he has “decided to leave the club this summer.”

He joined as a 23-year-old from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 for a £22m fee, and fought tirelessly and expertly in his forward berth across so many years, crowning his career with victory in the Europa League final, which was Tottenham’s first major honour since lifting the League Cup in 2008.

Son leaves with Tottenham’s blessing, and he leaves as one of the greatest left wingers in Premier League history, having scored 173 goals and supplied 101 assists across 454 games in a Lilywhites shirt.

To enter the Thomas Frank era without him will be a poignant thing, but there’s no denying Son is no longer at his rip-roaring best, and he has earned the chance for a new challenge as he stares at the autumn years of his professional career.

Change is afoot down N17, and this just underlines that point. Frank needs more forwards, and no mistake, but the frontline isn’t the only area in need of a reshuffle.

Spurs planning August shake-up

Tottenham have already signed Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United in a £55m deal this summer, which softens the blow from Son’s departure somewhat.

However, Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma are both considered expendable, with the latter attracting interest from a range of clubs.

Those first-teamers surely know they should pursue moves away, for Tottenham have agreed a deal with Bayern Munich for Joao Palhinha, who formerly rose to prominence in England with Fulham.

A defend-first holding midfielder, Palhinha reinforces Frank’s project, but the Danish tactician feels that a more dynamic central partner is needed to complete the set.

Spurs plotting bid for new midfielder

According to Football Insider, Tottenham are plotting a bid for Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher, who joined the Spaniards from Chelsea for £33m last summer.

It won’t be easy. Diego Simeone would undoubtedly look to turn a profit on the England international, with a fee in excess of £40m previously mooted.

Tottenham’s “long-term interest” in the 25-year-old is genuine, and it’s uncertain as to whether he would be open to a return to the Premier League, with Aston Villa and Newcastle United also interested.

What Conor Gallagher would bring to Spurs

Gallagher didn’t start every fixture for Atletico Madrid last season, but he made a positive impression in the Spanish capital all the same.

Lauding the England international’s adaptability, last season Simeone said that his new recruit brings “youth, energy and intensity” to the team.

Across 50 appearances, Gallagher scored four goals and provided six assists, finishing the term ranked among the top 13% of midfielders across Europe for goal involvements, the top 12% for goal-creating actions and the top 17% for tackles won per 90, as per FBref.

From this, you might conclude that the £150k-per-week talent is something of an offensive maestro. He’s not. Gallagher does offer something going forward, but he’s a robust and rounded midfielder, something his past two Premier League campaigns would attest to.

As you can see, he’s a balanced midfield force. Gallagher’s former Chelsea teammate Moises Caicedo once said that he’s “like a machine”, bringing out the best in his game as a number six.

In this way, Gallagher’s all-encompassing nature would be perfect alongside Palhinha in the Tottenham centre, bringing the perfect blend of physicality, technical quality and security in front of the backline.

Spurs’ defenders got a lot of flak last year, and rightly so, but the engine room was equally culpable of failing to maintain tactical levels, and these midfielders would change that.

Palhinha, after all, recorded the most tackles of any player across the 2022/23 and 2023/24 Premier League terms (148 & 152 respectively), and his focused efforts to protect and recycle possession suggest that Gallagher would be immense alongside him. Caicedo said the same, did he not?

The Bayern midfielder struggled for minutes under Vincent Kompany’s wing last season, but we all know of his tough-tackling quality, having been described as a “defensive monster” by data analyst Marcus Bring for his efforts as a Cottager in London.

The 30-year-old Palhinha, moreover, is experienced and composed. He didn’t make a single error for Fulham across the 2023/24 season, with his confidence in the central areas undoubtedly playing into Bayern’s decision to sign him for a £47m fee.

While Tottenham fans will hope to see Levy push ahead and sign a new forward to temper the blow that Son’s departure, such an iconic figure, will leave, strengthening the midfield pragmatically is the kind of thing that will contribute toward the wider and more stable long-term success of the club.

In what would be their signing of the summer so far, Everton have reportedly launched an opening offer to welcome a midfield star ahead of Premier League rivals.

Latest on Everton's potential incomings

After already signing Thierno Barry and Mark Travers whilst also welcoming Carlos Alcaraz on a permanent deal following a successful loan spell, Everton have now reportedly turned towards fresh targets. The Friedkin Group, clearly out to make a statement in their first summer at the helm, have also reportedly set their sights on the likes of Samuel Lino from Atletico Madrid and Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey.

Ramsey would particularly be one to watch if he arrived at The Hill Dickinson Stadium ahead of next season, but it remains to be seen whether Everton can win the race for his signature. Despite his clear talent, the midfielder is likely to be an affordable option amid Aston Villa’s PSR problems – allowing the Toffees to come swooping in.

Going forward, Ramsey would be a particular upgrade on James Garner in the middle of David Moyes’ side. At just 24 years old too, the Aston Villa man is about to enter his prime years, making now the best time to move in for his signature.

That said, it’s not just Ramsey that the Toffees have set their sights on. Midfield seems to be the area of focus currently and names such as Tomas Soucek has also been mentioned as a result.

Reports have even gone as far as to suggest that Everton are set to submit an imminent £12m bid to sign the West Ham United star and hand Moyes a reunion with the midfielder.

The same, meanwhile, can be said about another transfer target, with Everton now reportedly launching their opening offer for his signature.

Everton launch first Douglas Luiz offer

According to TeamTalk, Everton have launched an opening offer to sign Douglas Luiz from Juventus in a loan-to-buy deal. The Brazilian is reportedly open to a return to the Premier League just one year on from his decision to swap Aston Villa for Turin. And as Juventus look to show him the door, it’s the Toffees who are primed to take full advantage.

The midfielder would be an impressive coup, given his Premier League experience and reports that former club Aston Villa are interested in a swift reunion this summer.

Juventus are reportedly hoping for a package worth €35m (£30m) for Luiz this summer, but it remains to be seen whether Everton’s opening offer has reached that price.

Even after struggling in Serie A though, there’s no doubt that the Brazilian would be worth splashing out on. Aston Villa sporting director, Monchi, has been one of many to share praise for Luiz in recent years – telling reporters last season: “He’s playing less than we all expected, but we’re talking about a strong player.”

Manchester United’s summer transfer window is surely about to gather pace.

The £62.5m deal for Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Matheus Cunha was finalised at the start of June, and it’s the kind of signing which could reinvent the Red Devils’ frontline.

However, Ruben Amorim needs more firepower, and thus far has been frustrated by the lack of progress over the past month, with any number of additions still needed and a host of exiled first-teamers – like Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho – yet to be sold.

Man Utd's search for forwards

Going into the summer transfer window, it was Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres at the top of Man United’s shopping list, the Sweden striker having previously played so well under Amorim’s wing.

However, the 27-year-old is on the brink of a transfer to Arsenal, with Rasmus Hojlund’s desire to remain at the Theatre of Dreams complicating the pursuit of a new frontman.

But INEOS are still pushing to sign attacking additions.

As per Spanish sources, Man United have reached an agreement with Brentford for the transfer of Bryan Mbeumo. The deal, worth roughly £65m, is on the cusp of finalisation, with the minutiae all that’s left to be ironed out.

This follows Fabrizio Romano’s update from last week, and it’s starting to look likely that the Red Devils are going to receive a momentous boost in the coming days.

Brentford had previously rejected a number of offers from United but their persistence has finally paid off.

Why Bryan Mbeumo is perfect for Man Utd

Mbeumo’s 2024/25 campaign with Brentford underscored his calibre as one of the Premier League’s most dangerous forwards, posting 20 goals and eight assists across 38 matches.

Only Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak and Erling Haaland scored more.

Amorim struggled to establish offensive fluency at United last season, and you can see why Mbeumo would be such an impactful signing. As per Sofascore, the Cameroonian, 25, complemented his direct return with an average of 1.8 key passes, 1.4 dribbles and 4.7 successful duels per game.

But it’s his goalscoring record that the Old Trafford side covet most. Indeed, Thomas Frank said after the player’s hat-trick over Newcastle United last term that he is “unplayable” when at his finest.

Mbeumo’s style of play, and what he would offer in the final third without even considering the focal frontman, could see him become Amorim’s own version of the ostracised Rashford, one better aligned to the manager’s tactics and vision.

As you will see below, Rashford has provided a clinical presence for United across a number of seasons in the Premier League. Indeed, journalist Mazola Molefe actually named him a “goal machine” only two years ago.

Marcus Rashford – Prem Stats by Season (last 6 years)
Season	Apps	Goals	Assists
24/25	25	6	4
23/24	33	7	3
22/23	35	17	6
21/22	25	4	2
20/21	37	11	13
19/20	31	17	9
Stats via Transfermarkt

But he’s also ebbed away from his topmost level, whereas Mbeumo is starting to come into his own, and has proved across the past year that he’s one of the most prolific wide forwards across the continent.

It’s clear that Rashford’s days at Old Trafford are numbered, with Amorim not a fan and Barcelona looking likely to act on their interest and snap him up in the coming weeks.

Curiously, Mbeumo’s 20-goal return in 2024/25 surpassed anything that Rashford has ever produced on a single-term basis for United. Thus, it’s clear that Amorim could not only sign a new version of the Three Lions star but a superior player.

Ultimately, Amorim and Jason WIlcox and co all know that Mbeumo alone won’t fix United’s problems, even when considering the flanking partnership to be forged with Cunha.

But by replacing Rashford with a new prolific force such as he, it’s a step in the right direction, for sure.

Australia captain Pat Cummins will prepare for the upcoming Test summer by leading the ODI series against Pakistan while Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head will both miss the three-match contest for paternity leave.Cummins has been named captain of Australia’s 14-man squad that was announced on Monday for the series that begins on November 4 at the MCG. The squad is missing Marsh and Head who both have babies due in the coming weeks. Cameron Green who has been ruled out of the summer after opting for back surgery.Cummins is unlikely to play a Sheffield Shield game before the five-Test series against India. He will instead get all his preparation in via 50-over cricket. He will likely play a one-day domestic fixture for New South Wales on October 25 before captaining the first ODI.It remains to be seen whether Cummins will play all three ODIs against Pakistan given there is just a one-day break between the second and the third matches in Adelaide and Perth with a lengthy flight in between. Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc have also been named in the ODI squad but it appears likely that the bowling attack will be rotated as both Hazlewood and Starc are hoping to play at least one Shield match before the ODIs.Related

“This is our last ODI series before the Champions Trophy and the balance of the squad was focussed on that as well as continuing to focus on preparation of individuals for the upcoming Test summer,” chair of selectors George Bailey said. “The one-day side had a great result in the UK particularly given illness and injury challenges. We view this is an opportunity to expand on that achievement in preparation for next February in Pakistan.”Marcus Stoinis makes his ODI return having not played since the 2023 World Cup. He was not selected for the ODI portion of the tour of the UK but did play in the T20I series against Scotland and England. Stoinis currently doesn’t have a state or CA contract, although he is close to qualifying for an upgrade, and hasn’t played in any domestic one-day matches for Western Australia at the start of the summer. But he remains in the plans for the Champions Trophy in Pakistan, especially now given Green’s injury and will be a key all-round figure alongside the emerging Aaron Hardie if Australia want to play an allrounder-heavy XI.Josh Inglis is the sole wicketkeeper in the squad with the in-form Alex Carey left out for the Pakistan series despite strong performances against England on his ODI return.The absence of Head and Marsh will open the door for a new opening combination with Matthew Short and Jake Fraser-McGurk a good chance to combine throughout the series. Short was one of Australia’s shining lights on the tour of the UK while Fraser-McGurk did not get a chance in the ODIs but looks set to play in the upcoming series.Cooper Connolly, who made his ODI debut in England, is the only player named in both the ODI and the Australia A squad for two four-day matches against India A that clash with the ODI series. The first four-day game in Mackay ends on November 3 ahead of the first ODI on November 4 while the second four-day game at the MCG runs from November 7-10 with the second and third ODIs being played on November 8 and 10. Connolly appears likely to play the first Australia A game before joining the ODI squad for the second match.Australia are yet to name the T20I squad for the three-match series that follows the ODIs against Pakistan. None of Australia’s Test players will play in that series which runs from November 14 to 18 as they will rest for the first Test which starts on November 22.That will mean Australia will need a new T20I captain given Marsh, Head and Cummins won’t feature. They will also have a different coaching staff as head coach Andrew McDonald and a number of his assistants will sit out to prepare for India.Australia ODI squad vs PakistanPat Cummins (capt), Sean Abbott, Cooper Connolly, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Aaron Hardie, Josh Hazlewood, Josh Inglis, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Short, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Adam Zampa
