O Palmeiras anunciou, na tarde desta quarta-feira (11), a contratação do atacante Breno Lopes, de 24 anos. O Verdão pagou R$ 7,5 milhões ao Juventude por 50% dos direitos econômicos do atleta por um vínculo de quatro temporadas.

Breno é um dos maiores destaques da Série B em 2020, da qual se despede como vice-artilheiro, com nove gols marcados. Embora chegue teoricamente para suprir a ausência de Wesley, que operou o joelho e ficará meses afastado, o atacante possui características diferentes das do camisa 47.
O novo reforço falou ao site oficial do Palmeiras sobre sua chegada:
– Só tenho que agradecer a Deus, à minha família, ao Juventude, equipe que abriu as portas para mim, e ao Palmeiras pela oportunidade. Tenho certeza de que fiz uma excelente escolha, pois é um clube gigante do futebol. Sei da responsabilidade, mas me sinto preparado. E o torcedor pode ter certeza de que está chegando mais um guerreiro para a família alviverde. Venho para buscar meu espaço e conquistar coisas grandes, condizentes com a grandeza do clube – disse.
Nas últimas semanas, o Palmeiras já havia acertado com dois reforços vindos do exterior: Benjamín Kuscevic, da Universidad Católica-CHI e Alan Empereur, do Hellas Verona-ITA. Com o fechamento da janela de transferências internacionais na última segunda-feira (09), o Verdão voltou seu olhar para o mercado nacional e agiu rápido nas tratativas para contar com o atacante do Juventude.
West Ham United have made a solid start in the Premier League this season, sitting on 14 points and above the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United after eight games. The Hammers have also impressed in Europe, winning both of their Europa League games so far. After flirting with relegation last season, David Moyes will be both relieved and excited by his side's change of fortune in England's top flight.
The Scot could yet add even more improvements in the January transfer window, too, as West Ham look to book their place in European football for a third consecutive campaign, with scouts sent to watch one particular target.
What's the latest West Ham transfer news?
After losing Declan Rice to Arsenal in the summer transfer window, West Ham's summer spending was wise, and went on welcoming the likes of James Ward-Prowse, Mohammed Kudus, and Edson Alvarez, all of whom have hit the ground running at the London Stadium.

Much of the credit for the Hammers' smart spending deserves to go to the recruitment team at the London Stadium, who could yet make more moves come the January transfer window, which could include welcoming a left-back.
The latest West Ham transfer news has claimed that the club have sent scouts to watch Guilherme Arana in his country's recent draw against Venezuela. According to 90min, the London club, alongside Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers, watched Arana, as the battle to secure his signature commenced.
West Ham's interest in the Atletico Mineiro left-back is reportedly the most advanced, which could result in a January move, as they potentially look to life without Aaron Cresswell. When the winter transfer window opens, the Brazilian certainly looks like one to keep an eye on.
Who is Guilherme Arana?
Earning a consistent place in the Brazil squad, Arana has endured an impressive rise as of late and remains an important part of Atletico Mineiro's side after recovering from a long-term injury. So far this season, the left-back has made 20 appearances for his side, earning the interest of the likes of West Ham, in the process. As a result of his performances in Brazil, Arana has earned plenty of praise, including from Zach Lowy, who previously posted on X:
"Arana joined Sevilla in Jan 2018, and, having left Brazil after the holiday season, arrived in Spain overweight. Took a while to get into prime fitness and lose weight, but never really fit into Sevilla’s side. That said, he was a different animal in Brazil, deadly going forward."
Arana's stats are some impressive numbers, too. According to FBref, Arana wins 1.39 aerial duels per 90, attempts just over 63 passes per 90, and makes 1.55 interceptions per 90, with all three stats in the top 70 percentile compared to other left-backs at a similar level. With that said, West Ham may have identified a talented player, making January all the more interesting.
أفادت وسائل إعلامية إنجليزية، عن اقتراب نادي آرسنال من الحصول على خدمات لاعب منتخب إيطاليا خلال فترة الانتقالات الصيفية الحالية.
وحظى مدافع منتخب إيطاليا باهتمام عدة أندية إيطالية من بينهم إنتر ويوفنتوس بجانب فريق آرسنال.

وأشارت شبكة “caughtoffside” إلى أن نادي آرسنال في محادثات متقدمة مع مدافع بولونيا والمنتخب الإيطالي، ريكاردو كالافيوري، بهدف ضمه في الميركاتو الصيفي الحالي.
وتابعت الشبكة الإنجليزية أن آرسنال يستعد لتقديم عرض في حدود 50-55 مليون يورو من أجل الظفر بخدمات المدافع الإيطالي.
وعلى الرغم من اهتمام الأندية الإيطالية بضم كالافيوري، إلا أن إدارة بولونيا اتخذت قراراً بعدم بيعه لمنافس في الدوري الإيطالي.
وذكرت بعض التقارير في إيطاليا أنه تم رفض عرض آرسنال بقيمة 47 مليون يورو لضم كالافيوري في وقت سابق.
ومن المقرر أن عرض أرسنال البالغ 55 مليون يورو أقرب إلى ما يريده بولونيا للاعب، لذا فمن المتوقع أنه إذا تم تقديمه، فقد يكون له تأثير كبير على الصفقة.
South Africa bounced back from their dual-shellacking in the first round of the T20 tri-series in the week by recording only their second 20-over victory against England

ScorecardSouth Africa bounced back from their dual-shellacking in the first round of the T20 tri-series in the week by recording only their second 20-over victory against England, winning a closely contested game at Taunton in the final over thanks to Sune Luus’ unbeaten 63.There were fewer records broken on Saturday, in the first match of the double-header that will this time see England asked to turn out twice, but South Africa’s successful chase of 161 was their highest in T20 internationals. Luus was the hero, hitting 4-4-6 from the first three balls of the final over – which began with South Africa needing nine runs to win – but their innings was underpinned by another aggressive salvo from Lizelle Lee, who smashed six sixes in her 68 from 37 balls.Three days after racking up a world-record 250 for 3 on the ground, England failed to spark in the same manner (there were no sixes in their innings), although they did appear to have posted a competitive total thanks to another vital contribution from Tammy Beaumont, with 71 off 59. However, a poor fielding effort, including numerous dropped catches, undermined their defence.South Africa’s chase got off to a bad start with Laura Wolvaardt bowled by Anya Shrubsole’s fourth ball, but that brought Lee and Luus together for a stand ultimately worth 103. Luus had made scores of 0, 2, 0, 0 and 3 not out in her five previous innings on tour, and would not have been at No. 3 had Stacy Lackay been available, but she played a superbly judged innings alongside the more explosive Lee to put South Africa on track.Luus should have gone on 25, when she pushed a low caught-and-bowled back to Jenny Gunn, who then saw Lee dropped, on 24, later in the same over by Beaumont at backward point. That was one of three clear chances off Lee, with Shrubsole twice unable to hold on to catches coming in off the rope – the most straightforward a chance at deep midwicket the ball after Lee had gone to 50 with a six off Katherine Brunt.Lee had greeted Brunt at the start of the innings with a leg-side flick that flew all the way, and she cleared midwicket again to leave South Africa 50 for 1 from the Powerplay. Luus also hit Danielle Hazell over the ropes, as South Africa got on top of the run rate.Having cruised to a 29-ball half-century, Lee then took back-to-back sixes off Sophie Ecclestone before finally holing out to the midwicket boundary off Shrubsole at the start of the 13th over, leaving South Africa needing 52 from 47 deliveries.England managed to squeeze the required run rate again, with Luus dropping anchor and Dane van Niekerk looking to pilfer boundaries. The 16th over, bowled by Brunt, went for just two runs and Ecclestone then removed van Niekerk and Chloe Tryon in the space of five balls, leaving South Africa needing 17 from 12. But Nat Sciver dropped Mignon du Preez at midwicket, and then missed with an attempt to run out Luus next ball as England unravelled again.The 19th over ended with du Preez diving brilliantly for the line to beat a direct hit from Brunt at mid-off, and then having the awareness to run a second on the deflection, as South Africa held their nerve to secure a morale-boosting victory in the wake of twice conceding T20 record scores on Wednesday.England must pick themselves up this time and regroup to face New Zealand. Having won the toss, they chose to bat on the same surface as used for the first double-header, and the slowness was apparent from the outset – as was an improved South African effort with the ball.Beaumont and Danni Wyatt put on 147 together for the first wicket in the previous encounter, but van Niekerk on this occasion chose to open with the spin of Raisibe Ntozakhe. That paid dividends when Wyatt spooned a catch to point, trying to force the pace in the first over, although Ntozakhe missed out on the wickets Beaumont and Sarah Taylor off consecutive balls in her next: Tryon dropped Beaumont diving to her right at mid-off, before Lee butchered a stumping chance.Taylor looked in good touch, striking four fours in 20 from 16 balls, but she edged to point in Shabnim Ismail’s first over as England reached 42 for 2 from the Powerplay. Beaumont took her time to get in, bringing out the reverse-sweep and the ramp, before bringing up a half-century from 47 balls – the same number it took her to reach a century on Wednesday.In a scruffy fielding effort, Masabata Klaas dropped Sciver – a leaping one-handed effort at mid-on – and Beaumont – a simpler chance to long-on when the opener had made 63. But Ismail eventually removed Beaumont, playing on against a slower delivery, and although Heather Knight hit six boundaries in her 35 from 20 balls, England’s 160 for 5 was to prove insufficient.

Dizer que a atuação do Corinthians no empate em 0 a 0 com o Grêmio foi heroica, já é um ponto pacífico. Agora a hora é de determinar quais serão os próximos passos a partir dessa postura de superação mesmo com dois jogadores a menos. E Vagner Mancini parece já ter uma ideia sobre as lições desta noite na Neo Química Arena: será um divisor de águas para o time.

Em entrevista coletiva virtual após a partida, o treinador corintiano não escondeu a satisfação com o desempenho de seus jogadores e com o ponto conquistado diante das circunstâncias adversas, principalmente por se tratar de um rival como o Tricolor gaúcho, considerado um dos melhores times do país. Para Mancini, é isso que o elenco precisa entregar sempre.
-A superação, a garra demonstrada em campo é o que a gente pede, é o que é a cara do clube. Fico muito feliz, porque essa é a cara do clube, a dificuldade, a superação. Espero que os atletas tenham entendido que a gente não pode entregar nada inferior a isso em termos de atitude. Todo mundo sabe o que é enfrentar o Grêmio, time com variações táticas, atletas dotados de capacidade individual, e o que se viu do Corinthians hoje foi uma equipe determinada e que cumpriu à risca o que foi determinada – analisou.
Por esses e outros motivos, o comandante alvinegro pretende levar esse empate épico com o Grêmio como um divisor de águas para o clube nesta temporada, já que uma atuação como essa, tanto em nível técnico, quanto em nível tático, mostra ao atleta o quanto ele pode entregar, além de significar um sinal de que a equipe pode estar em outro patamar melhor do que o atual.
-Não tenha dúvida que vou usar esse jogo como um divisor de águas, não só pela parte de entrega, tática, como também de parte técnica, em que fomos muito bem também. Tivemos jogadas construídas com menos um e menos dois. O técnico e a equipe vão buscando argumentos para sustentar o que está sendo feito, isso é importante. Óbvio que todo atleta sabe que tem que haver entrega em campo, mas muitas vezes você não consegue tirar do atleta o que ele pode. Hoje, mostrou que eles são capazes de entregar não só entrega como também um bom futebol. Isso mostra que talvez a gente esteja em outro patamar, não só de parte física como técnica. Eu não gosto de mostrar vídeos de outros times, gosto de mostrar dos nossos jogadores. Certamente, muitas imagens serão tiradas do jogo de hoje. É importante quando o atleta se vê no vídeo sabendo que fez coisa boa – exaltou o treinador.
Diante dessas circunstâncias citadas acima e de quase ter vencido a partida, não fosse um milagre de Vanderlei, Vagner Mancini acredita que o jogo deste domingo tenha sido um marco e considera ter sido uma atuação mais importante do que em sua estreia, na vitória sobre o Athletico-PR, fora de casa, com um gol de Everaldo, no último minuto, com um homem a menos.
-O dia a dia no Corinthians é de muita entrega, muita cobrança entre nós, porque nós sabemos o que representa estar sentado aqui. Hoje foi um marco, porque enfrentarmos o Grêmio com dois a menos, uma postura digna, que não sofreu muito, e tivemos oportunidade na frente, com Fagner, com Luan. Acho que dá para ter uma noção boa. Na minha estreia, tivemos o jogo de vitória com um a menos (contra o Athletico-PR), mas hoje foi muito maior. Veio a confirmação de que realmente a gente pode fazer muito mais no campeonato.
Agora, para enfrentar o Coritiba, na próxima quarta-feira, às 21h30, no Couto Pereira, pela 23ª rodada do Brasileirão-2020, Mancini terá dois dias de preparação no CT Joaquim Grava antes de viajar para Curitiba. Atualmente, o Corinthians ocupa a 13ª posição na tabela de classificação, com 26 pontos.

The monotonous drag that is the international break is at an end, and Liverpool supporters now await the fiery encounter that is the Merseyside derby, with Everton making the short journey to Anfield on Saturday afternoon.
Jurgen Klopp's side were in the pits last season but have rekindled their former verve and now push for a spot in the Premier League title race, but will need to overcome an in-form Toffees side to get back to winning ways.
Having collected one point from two matches against Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton & Hove Albion, the Reds risk falling away from the forefront of the pack if Sean Dyche produces a disciplined display of resilience, but the hosts do have enough quality to secure a resounding victory.
What is the Liverpool team news vs Everton?
The shoulder injury sustained by Andy Robertson this week is set to rule him out of contention for the foreseeable future, with Spaniards Stefan Bajcetic and Thiago Alcantara also confirmed absentees.
With the Scotland star sidelined until around January, Kostas Tsimikas will now deputise at left-back, having played just four minutes of Premier League action so far this season.
Cody Gakpo has been pictured in training after suffering a knee injury against Spurs three weeks ago, and could be in line to start after Darwin Nunez admitted to having felt cramp in South America earlier this week, after playing and scored for Uruguay against Brazil.
Diogo Jota does return from a one-match suspension, however, and could be in line to start against the Blues, having scored four goals from five starting appearances this term.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Curtis Jones, who completes his three-match ban after his contentious dismissal against Tottenham, and while the continuing absence reduces the options at Klopp's disposal, the German manager might be inclined to drop Alexis Mac Allister.
Should Klopp drop Alexis Mac Allister?
Mac Allister has divided opinion somewhat since joining from Brighton in a bargain £35m transfer in the summer, with the dynamic Argentinian midfielder fielded in a deeper-lying role than he perhaps prefers.
However, this is largely due to Liverpool's lack of reliable No. 6 options, and while he has been somewhat unspectacular, the 24-year-old has been something of an unsung hero in recharging a depleted midfield.
Indeed, as per Sofascore, he has completed 89% of his passes in the Premier League so far this term, making 2.8 tackles and ball recoveries per game and succeeding with 67% of his attempted dribbles.
Moreover, according to FBref, the £150k-per-week gem ranks among the top 3% of midfielders across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for total shots, the top 14% for shot-creating actions, the top 18% for progressive carries and the top 12% for successful take-ons per 90.
Multi-functional and selfless, he is crucial to the fluidity and progression of this Liverpool team, and usually, he would be among the first names on the team sheet for a high-energy match such as the Merseyside derby, but Klopp would be wise to learn from his past mistakes and relegate the midfielder to the bench this afternoon.
Indeed, after the first international break of the season, a depleted Mac Allister returned to England and started against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux during another early Saturday kick-off and was discernibly out of sorts.
Klopp hooked him early and claimed that "he was done", after clearly struggling after travelling across the globe following a relentless international schedule.
A repeat could be detrimental, and, as such, it might be time for Harvey Elliott to truly make his mark this season and dazzle, proving that he can fill in and produce first-class performances in pivotal clashes such as this one.
How good is Harvey Elliott?
Elliott has been a regular member of Klopp's matchday squad over the past few years, and while the Reds languished last season, the precocious youth earned 46 appearances across all competitions.
This season, Elliott has played nine times across all fronts but has only received one start in the Premier League, though was hooked at half-time in the recent draw against Brighton.
In light of the deluge of absences for the Anfield side of late, Klopp will surely be tempted to start his diminutive dynamo, who has recently excelled with England U21s, posting two goals and two assists from two matches.
harvey-elliott-liverpool
His performance against Serbia led Paul Dalglish to dub him an “incredible talent”, which is certainly apt praise for one of England's brightest prospects.
As per FBref, the 20-year-old ranks among the top 8% of midfielders across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for total shots, the top 14% for shot-creating actions, the top 13% for progressive passes, the top 9% for progressive carries and the top 5% for blocks per 90.
Evidently, the technical ability is there for a long and illustrious career on Merseyside, but having been "outmuscled" by opponents last season – as per writer Leanne Prescott – his physicality probably does still need some work.
The £40k-per-week starlet would be the perfect option to fill in for Mac Allister alongside the always-impressive Dominik Szoboszlai, perhaps with Wataru Endo or Ryan Gravenberch occupying the holding role just behind.
And after such emphatic exploits with England U21s, Klopp will be eager to capture the player's purple patch and channel his recent feats into Liverpool's team.
Elliott's quality has never been in question; right from the off, the rising star's faculty for creative ingenuity has been illuminated in bright light, but he has not quite combined the cogs to cement a starting berth under Klopp's wing so far.
He is improving though, and his promising early-season performances have been eclipsed by his displays as the midfield catalyst during the international break.
With Jones still suspended and Klopp likely to be wary of Mac Allister's fitness levels, it might be the perfect time to unleash Elliott – who could now make his mark at Anfield against Liverpool's acrimonious city rivals.
Tottenham struck gold with their recruitment into the building this summer, softening the blow of Harry Kane’s departure to Bayern Munich expertly by signing exciting new talents to fit into new Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou’s overhaul.
Micky van de Ven, Pedro Porro and James Maddison have been early standout performers under the Australian head coach, key components to Spurs’ unbeaten run so far in the Premier League.
Maddison, in particular, has been instrumental, notching up eight goal contributions from ten matches after joining Tottenham from Leicester City for £40m.
The north London hot shots could be in the market for more players this January despite their electric start to this campaign, with Feyenoord attacker Santiago Gimenez linked with Postecoglou’s high-flyers according to reports.
Tottenham right-back Pedro Porro.
Spurs will have to be cautious in their pursuit of the Eredivisie forward, however, eager to not let history repeat itself.
Vincent Janssen left AZ Alkmaar behind for Tottenham in similar circumstances back in 2016, spectacularly flopping throughout his doomed stay in the English capital subsequently.
Tottenham’s interest in Gimenez
Fabrizio Romano has reported reported, via TEAMtalk that Spurs are interested in the 22-year-old striker as a potential option to strengthen the attack, Richarlison falling down the pecking order even further at the club if this move is pulled off.
brennan-johnson-richarlison-tottenham-opinion
The notorious reporter stated: "Something in the region of £39m could be the right fee to make it happen. From what I’m told, Tottenham [Hotspur] scouts have been following the player already last year. They saw that Gimenez is a very good striker… Decisions will be made in the next months.”
Gimenez justifies this price-tag with a sensational 13 goals from just 11 Dutch first-division appearances to date.
Still, Spurs will know too well that potency in front of goal in the Netherlands doesn’t always mean that a similar clinical edge will be apparent when relocating to the Premier League.
Janssen’s nightmare at Spurs
Janssen, who joined Spurs at the same age Gimenez is now, endured a torrid time at White Hart Lane after setting the Eredivisie alight with his goal output.
The misfiring Dutch striker would only manage six goals for Tottenham from 42 appearances, a weak goal return after netting a far superior 32 goals from 49 games whilst at AZ.
Tottenham flop Vincent Janssen.
The 6-foot forward, who is now 29, has rebuilt his career since this nightmare spell in north London with Janssen the leading man in attack for Royal Antwerp currently.
Gimenez will just pray that he doesn’t fall victim to the pressure of a high-profile move in a similar fashion, hoping to excel in his new surroundings instead of being disregarded as a dud.
Gimenez’s numbers this season
Feyenoord’s lethal talismanic striker continues to be a terrifying prospect for Eredivisie defenders to contain, occupying second spot in the top scorer chart for the league.
The standout display of Gimenez’s season so far came against Ajax, netting three goals against the Dutch titans to give Feyenoord a comprehensive 4-0 win in De Klassieker.
Only registering four shots in the 90 minutes per Sofascore, the Mexico International showcased his prolific nature for his club side to net a devastating hat-trick.
Over the last year for the Rotterdam-based giants, Gimenez has averaged a staggering 8.32 touches in the attacking penalty area per 90 minutes according to FBRef – the sign of a striker always waiting for an opportunity to strike from close range, always lurking to finish off a chance.
Tottenham will attempt everything in their power to persuade the 22-year-old to join the North London outfit, hopeful that lightning won’t strike twice when pursuing exports from the Eredivisie and that Gimenez will finally plug the gap Kane left behind up top.
