Transfer news LIVE: Spurs attempt HIJACK of Mbeumo move, Newcastle set to ‘rescue' Grealish, Reijnders to have medical
Greal good chance for him
Newcastle will try to rescue Jack Grealish from his Manchester City hell - but only on loan, SunSport can exclusively reveal.
The Toon are keen on Grealish, 29, who is on his way out of the Etihad.
The £100million man was snubbed when City named their Fifa Club World Cup squad.
Magpies boss Eddie Howe will turn his interest into an approach if City look at sending Grealish and his £300,000-a-week wages elsewhere for the season.
And that will become even more of a Newcastle priority if offers come in for Anthony Gordon over the summer.

England vs West Indies: Score and latest updates from third T20
6:51PM OVER 4: ENG 51/0 (Smith 28 Duckett 23) Smith retreats to leg, clears the front leg and thumps a lofted drive off Shepherd over cover for four. He goes for it again but doesn't connect properly and pops it over cover for two off the toe. He has been moving horizontally across his crease but now Smith moves vertically as well, dropping back and over to off to mow Shepherd over midwicket for six and ends the over by picking the slower ball and lofting it straight back on the drive for four. 6:47PM OVER 3: ENG 33/0 (Smith 11 Duckett 22) West Indies post a point sweeper and a deep backward square to stop Duckett's orthodox and reverse sweep so he simply clumps a slog sweep over midwicket for four. He comes down the track to Hosein's next delivery and spoons it back over the bowler's head without middling it. Nonetheless it clears the retreating mid-on and they run two. The left-hander leans across to fetch one Hosein tries to hide outside off-stump and clears the sweeper at backward square for a steepling six then hammers a straight drive on the charge for four more. By trying to stifle his reverse-sweep, they opened up midwicket and he punished them. The challenge here is very different to diddy Bristol. The playing area is vast, possibly the largest of England's home venues. At various others, that plink down the ground from Duckett would have gone for six. I suspect that a big score will be achieved by a steady cruising speed throughout the innings rather than a big, six-fuelled acceleration like the West Indies had the other night. Anyway, very good start from Duckett and England. 6:40PM OVER 2: ENG 16/0 (Smith 10 Duckett 6) Jason Holder opens the bowling from the Pavilion End. Smith drives crisply through the covers for two and the opens the face to smear a single through point. Duckett flicks Holder behind square for a single though the initial call was for two. The ball rifled across the grass too quickly for that to be feasible. Smith chances his arm with an expansive shot, driving on the up over mid-on for four but then splices his pull over midwicket for a single when the bat speed and intent suggested a boundary all the way. 6:35PM OVER 1: ENG 7/0 (Smith 2 Duckett 5) The slow left-armer starts round the wicket to Smith who uses the curve to drive through mid-on for a single. A wee breeze gives the spinner some drift in to the right-hander, and away from Duckett who works a single away between mid-on and midwicket. Smith shuffles back in his crease to clip the arm-ball through mid-on for another before Duckett ends the over with a clumping reverse-sweep, picking the ball off off-stump square for four. Good evening from the Utilita Bowl. Warm evening here. It's been a sorry trip for the West Indies – the women were whitewashed, and now the men might be too. On another note, I wondered if England might rest Brydon Carse, given his importance to the Test team in 10 days' time. But he's a key ally of Brook and a big part of this team. 6:30PM The teams are out And Akeal Hosein, the left-arm spinner, has the new ball. 6:29PM Longest boundaries in the series Aaron Finch is the only player to make a hundred in a T20I at Southampton, 156 vs England in 2013. In that match Joe Root made an unbeaten 90, the next highest score in the 12 T20Is played at the Rose Bowl. 6:08PM Harry Brook speaks 'We want to start nailing teams down into the ground. Come out and play the same way, try to have a dominant finish to the series.' He goes on to say they are unchanged because he wants the players to get used to the feeling of winning. 'People say winning is a habit. That's something we have to get going towards that World Cup in February next year. We want to keep on motoring the way we have done.' 6:06PM Team news England are unchanged. West Indies bring in Shimron Hetmyer for Roston Chase. England Smith, Duckett, Buttler (wk), Brook (capt), Banton, Bethell, Jacks, Dawson, Carse, Rashid, Wood. West Indies Lewis, Charles, Hetmyer, Hope (capt/wk), Rutherford, Powell, Shepherd, Holder, Motie, A Joseph, Hosein. 6:03PM West Indies win the toss And have put England in to bat. Shai Hope: 'We're going to back ourselves chasing here.' Harry Brook says he would have bowled first, too 'but what will be will be'.

Claudio Ranieri rejects Italy manager job after Luciano Spalletti announces own sacking
Claudio Ranieri revealed he has turned down the vacant Italy manager's job after Luciano Spalletti was dismissed from his post. The 73-year-old, who famously guided Leicester City to a fairytale Premier League title in 2016, will stay on with AS Roma as their senior advisor. Former Napoli coach Spalletti, 66, announced his own dismissal on Sunday following Italy's 3-0 drubbing by Norway in their opening World Cup qualifier on Friday. Ranieri, who recently retired for a second time after his spell at Roma last season, said he was honoured to have been offered the job by Italian Football Federation president Gabriele Gravina. "I thank President Gravina for the opportunity, a great honour, but I have reflected and decided to remain available to Roma in my new position totally," he told Italian news agency ANSA. "The Friedkins (Roma owners) gave me their full support and backing for whatever decision I had made regarding the national team but the decision is mine alone." Ranieri helped Roma finish fifth in Serie A last season to qualify for the Europa League. The Italian has been replaced by former Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini at the Stadio Olimpico ahead of next season.

England v Senegal: men's international football friendly
Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature Hello and welcome to the City Ground the Guardian liveblog bunker for live coverage of England v Senegal at the City Ground. Thomas Tuchel isn't in the business of selling tickets or building hype, but his unsparing appraisal of England's performance against Andorra – Kevin the Teenager tribute included – has increased the interest in what could otherwise have been just another friendly. This is only the second meeting between the sides, a slight surprise given their status in world football. The first was in the last 16 of Qatar 2022, when England surged to a 3-0 victory after an even first 35 minutes. The next World Cup is the endgame for Tuchel and England, but tonight's match has a standalone appeal that probably wasn't there 72 hours ago. Kick off 7.45pm. Share
