New Netherlands international Crescencio Somerville has praised it highly leeds unitedBecause he is ready to play for his country in the World Cup.

NU.nl reports the 24-year-old’s comments today From a press conference with the Dutch national team.

world cup dream

Despite never playing for his country, the West Ham United star is set to play for the Netherlands at the World Cup this summer.

He was a surprise inclusion in Ronald Koeman’s squad for the tournament a week earlier and earned a place in the group after beating Liverpool’s Jeremy Frimpong.

it’s a reward He went on to have an impressive season with the Hammers, despite their relegation to the Championship, and was, he believes, a boyhood dream come true.

“I wrote that I want to make it to the World Cup,” he said.

“I thought: 24 is a good age for the World Cup. (It’s) a childhood dream come true.”

“At that time (March) the national coach said I had to stay fit and do my work. Still, it was a surprise that I was included.”

Leeds’ decision paid off

International recognition is the next step for a winger who has never chosen the easy path. This included leaving his family in Rotterdam in 2020 when he decided to move to Leeds United.

He returned to Feyenoord that summer after a loan spell at ADO Den Haag but decided to move on rather than stay where he was. It was a big decision for the 19-year-old player at that time.

“It was tough,” he admitted.

“At Leeds, they did everything they could to make me feel like a family. That always inspired me to keep going. I knew what I was in for.”

Raphinha effect

He eventually developed into a key player at Elland Road, transforming from a dynamic dribbler into a goalscoring winger. This allowed him to score 19 goals as Leeds secured promotion in the 2023/24 campaign.

This improvement came after an effort to focus more on the numbers. Current Barcelona star Raphinha played a key role in that selection. At one point Somerville was behind the Brazilian in the pecking order at Leeds.

He concluded, “I was behind him in the pecking order at Leeds. He showed what you have to do in terms of hard work.”

“When I recently saw him in the top ten of the Ballon d’Or, I thought: I too can achieve something like that.”

of burnley Michael Kolesh is finding some form in his loan spell at Paris FC. This is helping him attract attention in Italy.

last month, sports witness The attacker’s comments about his love for AC Milan were covered. He also described going to Serie A as a dream.

Despite playing for the Italy U21 team, he never played in Italy, previously plying his trade with Espanyol.

The Burnley player has three Ligue 1 goals this season and has quickly attracted the interest of Bologna. This could help Colesho achieve his dream.

bologna spies italian

corriere dello sport Yesterday spoke about Bologna’s plans for the summer transfer window. He added that sporting director Marco Di Vaio and technical director Giovanni Sartori were in the stands to watch Paris FC’s 4-0 win over Brest in Ligue 1 at the weekend.

It was mentioned that defender Otavio was a particular focus of the trip but he did not rule out interest in other players.

today’s corriere dello sport The Burnley player is also said to be of interest to the Rossoblu. Sartori and Di Vaio are admirers of his profile and see him as someone who can improve their attack next season.

Any move will depend on Riccardo Orsolini’s future, with Jonathan Rowe’s status also in doubt.

The rise of coleus in Paris has attracted the interest of Bologna. The report mentions that the Clarets loanee is commanding a ‘significant premium’ due to his form in France.

Burnley may be a little less in control

At the moment, Paris FC has the option to purchase Colesho permanently. There is little clarity as to whether or not that will happen, but it appears the winger’s future at Turf Moor has been sealed.

Burnley’s relegation hasn’t helped either.

Paris FC could also decide to exercise their option on the 21-year-old and then sell him.

to brighton chelsea The transfer route is well underway these days, and it seems transfer rumors are also on the way, as it is said that El Mala could now be set for Stamford Bridge this summer.

Sport Bild reports that Chelsea Now the 19-year-old is at the front of the queue for the move, and has pushed Brighton aside in the process.

brighton still interested

The newspaper reports that Saeed El Mala’s future is now being strictly handled by his mother Sabrina El Mala. She has taken up the role since March and will tackle the transfer this summer.

On Monday, after the defeat to Leverkusen, he called up Brighton. The purpose of this was to find out whether, as reports said, he had completely withdrawn his offer for Forward.

Brighton insisted she did not do so, and that she still had a ‘intense interest’ in her son. Their offer of €35m was also still valid. The problem is that Cologne blocked the conversation after this Brighton failed to formally submit their planned €35m offer.

The Seagulls, for their part, had acted this way because they did not intend to match Cologne’s €50m asking price. Their strategy is to wait for the price to fall and then make their move.

At this time no club has made a firm bid. But Brighton believe that Cologne have been made aware that someone will be coming. And that’s what is making them firm on their demands of €50m. However, the German club has not even spoken to Sabrina El Mala.

Chelsea bid in the making

She, thanks to her role in the poker game, is clearly gambling on Chelsea’s bid. According to Sportbild, the Blues have hinted in talks that they will make a higher bid than Brighton this summer.

In fact, their plan would be to outbid the Seagulls and then send Sed El Mala back on loan to Cologne for another year. This will be a ‘dream come true’ for the family.

Chelsea could afford to stay a year away with the youngster, and he would be happy to spend another year developing in his homeland. It’s the best of both worlds for cologne.

The problem is that Chelsea may struggle to make that bid this summer. If they miss the Champions League, which looks possible, the financial hit will alter their plans drastically. There won’t be any expensive signing that won’t lead to an immediate promotion to the first team.

This would be bad news for the El Mala family, as Brighton have no interest in a deal that would see him loaned back out next season.

Thus, they find themselves in dilemma. Sabrina El Mala, the agent, is desperate to keep everyone interested while they wait and hopes that Chelsea will offer the deal that everyone really wants.

An unexpected reunion between the Chicago Bulls and former head coach Tom Thibodeau became a possibility after a new rumor on Tuesday.

After a fourth consecutive losing season, the Bulls decided to end the Billy Donovan era after six seasons as head coach. In their first year (2021–22), they gave Chicago fans hope as they went 46–36 and emerged as a force in the East. It seemed like they finally had a coach who could consistently make a playoff run like Thibodeau once did.

Nevertheless, he never regained that success and finished with a 226–256 record. Since Thibodeau left 11 years ago, the Bulls have had three different coaches and have reached the playoffs only twice in that time. Thibodeau oversaw the roster for five years and made the playoffs every season. Including an appearance in the Eastern Conference Finals in their debut (2010–11).

That’s why it shouldn’t be surprising that there’s been speculation around the game about an unlikely reunion (including on SportsNote). Yet that kind of thing doesn’t happen in the NBA. But that could change this summer.

Tom Thibodeau ready for Chicago Bulls reunion

According to Sam Amick of The Athletic, the 68-year-old coach, who was unfairly fired by the New York Knicks a year ago, wants to return to the NBA and is open to the idea of ​​a return to the Bulls bench. That is, “if Reinsdorf and the new executive vice president of basketball operations, Bryson Graham, who was hired away from the Atlanta Hawks on Monday, were interested,” Amick writes.

It would be shocking if the Bulls decided to bring Thibodeau back. They moved on from him after the 2014–15 season with the belief that he could not lead them to the NBA Finals. Even in the years that followed he has been unable to achieve that goal. However, he has proven that he can get the franchise on the path to becoming a consistent playoff contender. He did it in Chicago and New York.

The Bulls are in a mess at the moment and need to rebuild from the ground up. Of the coaches available, Thibodeau has the track record of getting what the organization needs, while fully understanding the market pressures. Although unlikely, a reunion is much more possible than it was a few weeks ago.

Lucas Anderson, who struggled to find a club after leaving Queens Park Rangers, says he is not done with his playing career.

The 31-year-old has been relayed by tip sheetAddressing his current situation following his exit from QPR.

At the end of the 2024/25 season, QPR released the Dane and he is yet to find a new club.

The attacking midfielder graduated from AAB Fodbold, spending a year with their first team before leaving them for Ajax in 2012.

He returned to the Danish club in 2019, and left them for the Championship side in February 2024.

Without a club since leaving QPR

Anderson played 2,126 minutes in 51 matches in all competitions for the London club, scoring three goals and providing four assists. He made 12 starts in the Championship in the second half of the 2023/24 season.

However, the Dane operated mainly as a substitute last season, starting in 13 of 33 league matches.

Given that he does not have a club, he has been training with AAB. Three months earlier, the Danish club’s sporting director, John Møller, had stated that there were no plans for the player to return. The official also said that his desire is to join a club away from Denmark.

Anderson has yet to find a new club since leaving QPR and this has led to questions whether he has finished his playing career. Although he is not comfortable answering these, but now he has sent a clear message.

“Even though time is going on, I’m still staying true to myself in terms of trying to find the right football project.” He said.

“The love of sport, which has been a part of my life since I was three years old, is really important to me. Not just playing and being a football player. I want to be able to do something and experience a thrill through the lens of football.

“I have a lot of time to think right now. And sometimes it’s hard to deal with all the constant questions. You’ve been out long? Do people think I’m finished? What are you going to do now?”

“Not being able to do a lot because you’re worried that people will ‘retire’ you in their minds, although I’m still very keen to continue my football career.

The decision to reject the proposals backfired

In October, Sport Witness reported news from Denmark that it had rejected offers from Saudi Arabia and Olympiacos Nicosia.

A month later, the former QPR man said he accepted the consequences of not accepting offers from these clubs.

Brighton & Hove Albion have again been linked with a move to Sao Paulo midfielder Damian Bobadilla, with the Paraguayan’s latest comments suggesting the Premier League club are actively monitoring the player.

Earlier reports in Brazil It was claimed that Sao Paulo had not received any approach or offer for the 24-year-old. Journalist George Nicola said that club officials insisted that there had been no contact with European teams.

However, the conversation has resurfaced after comments from a Paraguayan journalist Andres Rolon on Versus SportsWho mentioned Brighton’s interest during discussions regarding the midfielder’s future.

“It is true that Brighton are monitoring him as a potential signing for the next transfer window.”

Brighton plan for possible midfield exit

During the same conversation, the journalist suggested that the Paraguayan could form part of Brighton’s future midfield plans.

According to discussions on the programme, Bobadilla has been mentioned as a possible replacement if Brighton lose midfielder Carlos Baleba.

Panel members speculated that Baleba could attract interest from Manchester United, which could force Brighton to look for a replacement in the next transfer window.

This context would help explain why the club is already following Bobadilla closely.

Interest across Europe

Rolon also made it clear that Brighton are not the only club keeping an eye on the Sao Paulo midfielder.

“There are also clubs from Italy and Spain following Damien Bobadilla,” He said.

According to the journalist, the situation may escalate sooner than expected. “According to what I was told, the operation could be completed even before the World Cup.”

He also suggested that Sao Paulo could benefit from waiting longer before considering a sale. “If I were Sao Paulo, I would wait until after the World Cup.”

Contract status clarified

Bobadilla joins Sao Paulo from Cerro Porteño in 2024 for around €1.8m (£1.5m). The Brazilian club secured only 60% of its economic rights in that deal.

This detail could be crucial if European interest turns into a formal offer, as Sao Paulo will receive just over half of any transfer fee.

The midfielder’s contract runs until December 2027, putting the Brazilian club under no immediate pressure to sell.

At the moment, Brighton has not entered active negotiations. Nevertheless, reports from Paraguay suggest that the Premier League side are already preparing for possible midfield changes in the future, and Bobadilla has apparently entered their radar.

If the New York Giants really want to take Notre Dame star Jeremiah Love as their first pick in April’s NFL Draft, new reports suggest he won’t be available in time for Round 1.

The NY Giants are in an interesting position in the early rounds of the draft. Obviously, after a 4-13 finish in 2025, they could use help in various areas of the roster. However, the team feels they have a long-term option at quarterback with Jackson Dart. This means that when it’s time to choose they can take the best player available.

In early mock drafts, the team was linked to various players, including Ohio State stars Carnell Tate and Caleb Downs. However, recent rumors claimed that the organization was relying too heavily on Heisman Trophy finalist Jeremiah Love despite having Cam Scatebo as the RB1 option next season.

At last week’s combine, Love was impressive and certainly piqued the interest of the NY Giants brain trust in him. However, his performance caught the attention of the entire league, including teams ahead of Big Blue in Round 1. And now it looks like a RB won’t be on the board until New York makes their selection.

Titans are favorites to select Jeremiah Love in the 2026 NFL Draft

According to NFL Draft expert Todd McShay, Love is such a “special” talent that he doesn’t see the NY Giants going as a back five. However, it wouldn’t be “surprised” if he goes to the Arizona Cardinals (No. 2) or Tennessee Titans (No. 3).

Adding to the idea that Love won’t make it past the Titans at age three, Pro Football Talk reports that Tennessee is the current betting favorite (+200) to select the six-foot, 214-pound RB who ran a 4.36-second 40-yard dash at the combine last week.

Last year for the Fighting Irish, Love had 199 carries for 1,372 rushing yards, 27 catches for 280 yards and 21 total touchdowns.

Participating in his first NBA All-Star Weekend, Jaylon Tyson was at the free-throw line during the Rising Stars game when his Cleveland Cavaliers teammate Donovan Mitchell literally announced his presence, and yelled at him as he walked to the front row of Crypto.com Arena. While trying to concentrate on making the shot, the 23-year-old lost focus after laughing and dropped it.

“I was trying to win MVP. I’m not going to lie. I was trying to get it,” Tyson recalled during practice last week. “And he’s yelling something in there. But I made it.”

Unfortunately, Tyson’s Tracy McGrady-led Team T-Mac did not have a chance to reach the title match; That doesn’t mean Tyson couldn’t bring out his true self. He led his team with 10 points and five rebounds in 11 minutes.

Tyson said, “The game, I wasn’t that happy because it was only five minutes, and then we had to go off the court.” “So I wanted to keep playing the whole game.”

Tyson dished out two assists, one of which was a highlight reel hook-up with Miami Heat big man Kel’El Ware on an alley-oop while turning the corner. Having missed the opportunity as a rookie, he took this as a chance to show what he was capable of with all eyes on the league’s biggest weekend.

“He plays hard,” Mitchell said. “He plays hard. He’s picking up the whole court. He’s doing all the things. I wish he’d get some help out there. He’s rebounding. He’s passing. He’s doing everything.”

“It’s been nice sharing the court with those guys. In my mind, I know I’m better than a lot, if not all, of those guys,” Tyson said. “I just want to go out there and prove it every day, and then, hopefully, be an All-Star one day.”

Unlike many talents who stay the weekend in Los Angeles, Tyson flew home after Friday to recuperate and prepare himself for the second half of the season. Mitchell was impressed with his professionalism in handling his first All-Star Weekend. He also made sure the talented young forward’s presence was felt when it came to 3-point contests.

Mitchell wore Tyson’s number 20 with his name on the back, as he had done with Sam Merrill’s uniform a few years earlier.

“It was great,” Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson said. “They have a great relationship. Donovan has embraced Jaylon from day one. The first thing he looked at him, he said, ‘This kid has this crazy work ethic.’ It reminds me a lot of Donovan. So I think he’s a big part of Jaylon’s development. It really helps when your best player contributes to the development of a young player. I thought it was a good move to do so.”

Although Tyson joked that his jersey was “a little big” for Mitchell, he felt his teammate’s love, and that’s nothing new.

Tyson said, “He’s one of those guys that I’ll have a relationship with throughout my career and beyond.” “I’m so grateful to have her. Honestly, I feel like I give her a lot of credit for that year. I go back to that text message; I don’t think people understand how much that text message meant to me and how much confidence it gave me. So I give her a lot of credit for all my success.”

Tyson is referring to when Mitchell approached him in the offseason about “his need” and his confidence in stepping into a bigger role. Mitchell admitted he hasn’t had the kind of year he’s had this year, with the second-year swingman averaging 13.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 27.4 minutes per game with the league’s third-best three-point shooting percentage (45.6%) and top-20 effective field goal percentage (60.0%).

It helps to have a shoulder to lean on when things go in different directions, and it was the subject of a heart-to-heart conversation as the two flew to LA together before the festivities began in mid-February.

“I was like, ‘Hey, this can’t be a 40-point night for you. This can’t be a 30-point night. This can’t be a start, this can’t be this,'” Mitchell said. “I told him, ‘Man, you’ve already shown that you’re capable.’ You’ve already shown a lot.” [than] More people have done this in their careers, and you have done it in a little more than half a year.

“So for him to adjust to his role and be OK with it is definitely impressive for a second-year guy. We’ll be on him, and he’s got to continue to earn everything he’s been doing. Nothing is a given, but he’s doing a good job. We’ve got to keep that going.”

Jaylon Tyson, the Cavs’ direction and the reality of the NBA

Since Cleveland shifted its roster with the acquisitions of James Harden, Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis, the young players have seen a change in their responsibilities and a decrease in playing time. The veterans brought him in because of his experience and the need to adjust to a new group. As a result, players who were praised for their readiness throughout the season have been taken down a peg.

For example, Craig Porter Jr. and Naquan Tomlin have been left out of the current rotation. Tyson is still in the everyday lineup, but not in the same order.

“Defend, rebound, limit mistakes, make shots. That’s what it’s about,” Atkinson said. “In situations like this your package gets reduced, and he understands that, and he’s been great. I think he had a pretty good stretch; that’s how he got in the rotation, right? But now, living forward and looking at the playoffs, we’re seeing a similar role.”

“Once everyone comes back, once we’re fully healthy, it’s going to be a huge sacrifice,” Tyson said. “Whatever that looks like, obviously, the roles will change. But just buying into that role and doing something bigger than any one of us.”

Before Cleveland hosted the New York Knicks on Tuesday, Atkinson was surprisingly tough on Tyson, who played back-to-back games with less than 17 minutes left. This was his lowest total of playing time since late October.

When asked how he can get back to his normal amount of burn, Atkinson explained that Tyson and the guys playing the role have to earn it because of the short window for Cleveland to put the pieces in place before the postseason.

“It’ll come out on its own. It’s definitely a change for him,” Atkinson said. “I understand that, as a young player, it’s not easy. You go from scoring 39 points a couple weeks ago to, ‘My minutes are down a little bit.’ And I think he probably had some games where he wasn’t playing at that elite level. We’ve obviously added three new guys, three new rotation guys. So, it’s been cut a little differently.”

Tyson answers the call

Later that night, Atkinson praised Tyson for excelling in everything that was asked of him, especially guarding Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns.

“That was kind of the blueprint right there,” Atkinson said. “Offensively, played in the short role, hit catch-and-shoot threes, limited his mistakes, and then played very good defense. We put him out there on the KAT, and he’s big and strong enough to defend him and put pressure on him and bother him.

“Behind Dean, can he be a perimeter stopper? He’s shown he can do that. He’s played really well all year. As young players, [they] Will probably make a few more mistakes than a vet like Dean, but if he wants big playoff minutes, this will have to be it. Can you become our job keeper? It’s a really positive trend: defensive numbers are good, size, obviously, a good rebounder. But there is development. It’s really, ‘Make fewer mistakes and be more solid.’ [with] Game plan stuff.”

Tyson finished with 12 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, recording one steal and one block each, turning it over only once. Mitchell was encouraged by Tyson’s performance during the game.

“You saw him tonight as a 5-man, his formation and playing the pick and roll,” Mitchell said. “Pass to him, he’s got a layup, he’s got a floater, he’s making decisions. That’s what we’re going to need from him. That’s his bread and butter.”

While empathizing with how he may be feeling, Atkinson believes Tyson is handling the transition well.

“I don’t think it’s easy for anyone, but he’s an extremely mature person,” Atkinson said. “He gets it. He’s got great veteran support, not just coaches, but vets who explain to him what it looks like, and we have these discussions as a team. And it’s not just Jaylon, right? It’s other role players. It’s Keon. It’s Dennis. It’s just part of the situation when you have a lot of good players on your roster.”

Who knows how Harden’s broken right thumb will affect his role? For example, he probably won’t suit up for 35 minutes per night as he did in Thursday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks, as Mitchell and Evan Mobley also missed that game. It appears that Max Strus is on track to make a comeback at some point.

With Mitchell suffering a groin problem, Ellis suffering a fractured left index finger, Schroder suffering a sprained left ankle and Dean Wade suffering a right ankle injury, Tyson will need to return to his pre-trade duties. It’s a constant push and pull.

But whatever is required of him, Tyson will keep his head down and do whatever is asked of him to help the Cavs win.

“I feel like it’s just part of the NBA,” Tyson said. “Unless you’re a superstar, your role is going to change, and I think the best role players adapt to that. It’s something I’ve had to learn to do. I don’t mind that, OK, because obviously, I just want to win. James is here, he wants to win.

“I want to be a member to help him win and get that ring; the city of Cleveland, Donovan, everybody. I want to be a member to help them.”
