Newcastle United are believed to be preparing a new-and-improved offer for a "simply brilliant" player this summer, according to a new update emerging from Italy.

Newcastle transfer news

Magpies supporters will no doubt be excited by the list of players being linked with moves to the club this summer as Eddie Howe looks to take his squad to the next level, ensuring they have an improved Premier League season next time around.

One key position that Newcastle appear to be keen on strengthening is right-wing, with upgrades on Miguel Almiron and Jacob Murphy required, especially in terms of delivering better end product. Chelsea winger Noni Madueke has emerged as a primary candidate to move to St James' Park, with a summer exit from Stamford Bridge increasingly on the cards.

Former Manchester City attacker Ferran Torres has also been linked with a switch to the Magpies, with the Spaniard not necessarily considered a key starter for Barcelona, particularly following the emergence of Lamine Yamal. Leeds United star Crysencio Summerville has also been mentioned as a target.

The heart of Newcastle's backline looks depleted currently, especially with Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles long-term injury absentees. Chelsea ace Trevoh Chalobah has been backed to boost the defensive options at Howe's disposal. He can also play at right-back, so could even be looked at as an upgrade on the ageing Kieran Trippier.

Newcastle preparing new offer for "simply brilliant" ace

According to Gazzetta dello Sport [via Sport Witness], Newcastle are set to increase their offer for Milan centre-back Malick Thiaw, with the Italian giants wanting €40m (£33.8m) for his services.

The Magpies reportedly have "concrete interest" in the 22-year-old and are now ready to "raise the stakes" in order to acquire his signature in the current transfer window. It is also thought that both clubs are "in favour" of a deal.

Thiaw has the potential to be a fantastic signing for Newcastle if a move goes through, considering he is a young defender who has already achieved so much in his career, making 54 appearances for Milan and winning three caps for Germany.

Meanwhile, football talent scout Jacek Kulig has described him as "simply brilliant", and Antonio Rudiger has heaped praise on his compatriot, saying after a 2023 friendly against Poland: "He surprised me. He started on the right foot and showed great personality. He played a really, really good game."

At 22, there is still so much more to come from Thiaw in his career. Last season, he averaged 2.6 clearances per game and enjoyed a 91.6% pass completion rate in Serie A last season. The latter tally is superior to any Newcastle defender in the Premier League in 2023/24, showing what he can offer the Toon defence, as well as the quality he possesses on the ball.

Granted, £33.8m isn't cheap, but given the German's long-term potential, he could end up being a steal for the Magpies – especially if they can get him for anything less, which is hinted as a possibility in the Italian media.

Celtic are believed to be on the verge of completing another piece of transfer business, with a deal to sign a £4,000-a-week player nearly done.

Celtic transfer news

The Hoops have been linked with plenty of players of late, with Royal Antwerp attacker Michel-Ange Balikwisha seen as an exciting option to come in this summer. The Scottish Premiership giants are said to be in talks with the 23-year-old over a switch to Parkhead, with an offer potentially arriving at some point this week.

Adam Idah proved to be a hero on loan from Norwich City during the second half of last season, not least because he scored the last-gasp winning goal against Rangers in the Scottish Cup final, and Celtic are still working hard on striking a permanent deal with the striker.

Similarly, Paulo Bernardo was another player who shone on loan, playing an important role in Brendan Rodgers' side's double success, and Keith Wyness has backed him to come in on a permanent basis, saying: "It will get done. I spoke to someone in Portugal about this deal the other day and they said the deal will end up around £6million. The wages won’t be a problem. He’s a talent, and he’ll do well in the Scottish game."

Rodgers is also interested in bringing Australia international Riley McGree to Celtic ahead of next season, with the Hoops failing to complete his signing during the Ange Postecoglou era at Parkhead.

Celtic close to signing £4,000-a-week ace

According to a report from The Daily Mail, Celtic are closing in on the signing of Aston Villa goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo, adding further depth between the sticks in the process. A deal is "on the brink" of being agreed, with the 22-year-old coming in as understudy to Kasper Schmeichel, ahead of the Dane's expected move to Parkhead, which has been held up but should still go through imminently.

Sinisalo feels like an ideal backup to Schmeichel, coming in as a young player who may be content with warming the substitutes' bench most weeks to begin with.

The £4,000-a-week Villa man has won three caps for Finland, showing that he can cut it at international level, but he is yet to make a senior appearance for his current club, which highlights why he may be interested in sealing a move away.

Last season, Sinisalo enjoyed a good spell on loan at Exeter City, starting 45 out of a possible 46 matches in League One, leading to manager Gary Caldwell heaping praise on him, saying:

"I think it’s brilliant that a loan player can come and connect with the club like he has. I think this club is so much more than that, so I think we’re a brilliant club for loan players, but the way he’s bought into everything and connected with the supporters, with teammates."

This further suggests that Sinisalo could be a top-quality signing for Celtic, providing competition for Schmeichel, who may not be guaranteed to keep his place if the Finn impresses in training.

The New Zealand contingent arriving in Dhaka on August 24 will have most of the elements of the bio-secure environment that the BCB provided Australia with, according to chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury. The only major difference will be that the New Zealand squad will not get the direct tarmac-to-hotel ride that Australia got from the airport – Australia arrived by chartered plane, while New Zealand will be on a commercial flight.”They [NZC] have requested us to give them the same bio-bubble environment that we ensured for Australia,” Chowdhury said. “Keeping everything in mind, we will do as much as practically possible to put together a complete bio-bubble environment to have a successful series. They will be travelling commercial, so their airport procedure won’t be exactly like Australia’s arrangements. But we will try to minimise public contact on their way to the hotel.”The contingent will undergo a three-day in-room quarantine on getting to the hotel. Once that is over, they will start to train at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka, where all five matches of the series will be played.At the airport, New Zealand are likely to go through the usual VIP channel and have their immigration process done separately, as is usually the case for cricket teams travelling to Bangladesh these days.Chowdhury also said New Zealand were not inclined to play the tour match scheduled for August 29, in the lead-up to the five-match T20I series that begins on September 1, to avoid bio-bubble complications. “They were offered [a practice match] but since it means an additional bio-bubble in another venue, they [NZC] have discouraged it,” Chowdhury said. “They also want minimum movement during the series.”The Bangladesh players, meanwhile, have been instructed by the BCB to be conservative in their movements ahead of joining the bio-bubble for the series. “They will enter the bio-bubble when it is ready,” Chowdhury said. “Our players have been instructed to keep their movements restricted, and told to be within the family environment. They have been discouraged from attending public functions.”Chowdhury also confirmed that the games will start earlier than usual, keeping New Zealand audiences in mind. “We plan to start the matches at 4pm (local time) after speaking to the team management. We have kept in mind the viewership in New Zealand.”

Nottingham Forest face a big summer ahead of them if they are to build on the 17th-placed finish achieved in the Premier League during the 2023/24 campaign.

During the season, the Reds changed managers with fan-favourite Steve Cooper replaced by Nuno Espírito Santo, following a run of six matches which included five defeats and one draw.

The Portuguese boss managed to secure the club another season of top-flight football on the final day, despite receiving a four-point deduction for breaking the league’s PSR limits.

As a result of the previous points deduction, the club will have to operate shrewdly this summer to bolster their playing squad, but also to avoid any further PSR breach which could put their future Premier League status at risk.

However, despite keeping the Reds in England’s top-flight, the job expected of him upon his arrival at the City Ground, Nuno could find himself being replaced before the start of the 2024/25 campaign, by one manager owner Evangelos Marinakis knows very well.

Forest interested in Premier League boss

According to a report by the Daily Mail, Nottingham Forest are targeting a deal for Fulham boss Marco Silva should they decide to brutally part ways with Nuno during the off-season.

Silva, who like Nuno is Portuguese, has done an excellent job at Craven Cottage in recent seasons, pulling the club clear of any looming relegation threat, and transforming the Londoners into a solid Premier League side, with little investment from the owner.

The Fulham boss has previously worked under current Reds owner Marinakis, taking charge of Greek outfit Olympiacos for the 2015/16 campaign, before leaving for personal reasons with a win rate of 79% in his 48 games in charge.

The 46-year-old has been in charge of the Cottagers for nearly three years now, leading them back to the Premier League before keeping them up for two consecutive seasons – returning the club to a stable top-flight outfit.

However, the report does go on to state that he has a £9m release clause in his current deal, with any side free to negotiate with Silva should they trigger the deal within his current deal.

It would be an excellent coup for Forest should they get the deal over the line, with one player in particular set to benefit from any potential arrival of Silva in the East Midlands.

Why Silva would be an upgrade on Nuno

There’s no denying that Silva would be an upgrade on Nuno based on the 2023/24 campaign, with the Fulham manager blowing the former Wolves man out of the water.

The former Olympiacos boss has averaged 1.24 points per game in the Premier League over the last 12 months, 0.19 more than Nuno could muster despite taking charge of 17 games fewer.

Silva managed to lead his side to more than double the number of victories compared to Nuno, collecting 25 less and finishing 15 points behind the Cottagers come the conclusion of the campaign.

Although he would be an upgrade on the current managerial situation at the City Ground, the current boss would allow Chris Wood to reach the next level on Trentside.

The New Zealand international managed to score 14 goals in the Premier League this season – his joint-highest tally – a great return from a player who was seemingly written off at the start of the campaign.

However, the “unbelievable” Silva, as described by the outgoing Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, managed to turn striker Aleksandar Mitrovic into a force to be reckoned with during his team at Craven Cottage – with the Serbian scoring 57 times in just 68 appearances under the Portuguese boss in London.

He’s clearly capable of getting the best out of his centre forwards with his side scoring 55 goals in the 2023/24 season, a tally that was six higher than the Reds.

Whilst Nuno has done an excellent job in keeping Forest in the Premier League, fully deserving of another season to implement his system, there’s no denying Silva would be an upgrade on the current Reds boss, with Marinakis having a huge decision to make over the coming weeks.

Nottingham Forest must rue not hiring "incredible" manager ahead of Nuno

The club made a huge mistake not hiring him…

Members of Liverpool's first-team squad will filter back into Kirkby on Friday onwards, with the U21s and teenagers already back and under Arne Slot's watchful eye.

Make no mistake, though, Liverpool's prominent members will not be returning for the foreseeable, with many competing on international duty and others currently enjoying their holidays – like Andy Robertson and Dominik Szoboszlai, who were knocked out of Euro 2024 over a week ago.

A central defender, defensive midfielder and wider forward are all positions that have been discussed ahead of possible summer spending, though FSG will only make their move if the right opportunity materialises.

Regarding the base of the midfield, the right chance might just have come along…

Liverpool transfer news

According to Spanish publication Sport, Liverpool are considered the favourites in the Premier League in the race to sign Bayern Munich sensation Joshua Kimmich, who is out of contract in Bavaria in one year.

The 29-year-old is currently starring for host nation Germany at the Euros but noise from the Allianz Arena suggests that fresh terms will not be agreed and he will be sold this summer, with Bayern considering a nominal sale of just €30m (£25m).

Hansi Flick's Barcelona have a vested interest and so too do a host of top English outfits, so Liverpool will need to move quickly if their intrigue is indeed serious.

What Joshua Kimmich would bring to Liverpool

Last summer, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho were sold to the Saudi Pro League after dismal, regressive campaigns. Jurgen Klopp needed to bolster with a top-class new no. 6 and after missing out on Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia to Chelsea, settled for the shrewd £16m signing of Wataru Endo.

Endo, aged 31, has been an interesting addition to the Anfield clutch but is not the long-term solution to the holding midfield conundrum at Liverpool. Industrious and tenacious, yes, but also limited technically and not the crispest in defensive challenges – winning just 41% of his ground duels in the Premier League last season.

Kimmich, while no longer a new kid on the block, would bring an elite range of passing and a sharp defensive skill set that truly could leave him in a promising position for illustrious success on English shores, a metronomic force to serve Slot's possession and progression-centric system.

He's quite clearly a cut above Endo, so cultured, so combative, so creative. Signing Kimmich would go against Liverpool's principles of targetting young, malleable talents, but exceptions can be made, right? Like when Liverpool signed distinguished midfielder Thiago Alcantara from… Bayern Munich, for £20m, seizing upon a unique opportunity.

Kimmich, unlike his former Bavarian teammate, is not so prone to extended layoffs, missing 17 matches due to injury over the past four campaigns, or 4.25 per season.

A player of myriad qualities, Kimmich ranks among the top 8% of midfielders across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for assists, the top 5% for shot-creating actions, the top 2% for passes attempted, the top 3% for progressive passes and the top 18% for progressive carries per 90, as per FBref.

His immense stretches of ground covered on a game-by-game basis have facilitated his rise to one of the leading European players of his position, with Julian Nagelsmann among those to have gushed over his "world-class" ability.

Such is his prowess, he could be the final piece of the puzzle at Liverpool, the missing link to ensure Slot's success. He could be Liverpool's own Declan Rice, or, even better, Liverpool's very own Rodri.

Arne Slot's very own Rodri

Rodri. Where to begin? Perhaps, aptly, from the end. Last time the Manchester City machine graced a football field, he starred as Spain overcame the valiant efforts of Georgia to advance, with a continent in awe, to the quarter-finals of the Euros, setting up a tie with Kimmich's Germany, ironically.

Unmatched spatial awareness, anticipation and technical quality place the pillars that make up Rodri's standing as one of the finest players in world football. Indeed, the 27-year-old has been described as "the best midfield player, currently, in the world by far" by Pep Guardiola.

He is so influential, completing 91% of his passes as Man City won their fourth successive Premier League title last season, averaging 1.5 key passes, 2.1 tackles and 6.9 recoveries per outing and winning 59% of his contested duels.

Moreover, the Spain star scored nine goals and supplied 14 assists across all competitions last season, showcasing his ability to stretch his influence beyond the expectations and even hopes of the world's finest 'defensive' midfielders.

His staggering ability to call upon every facet of the midfield game – and more – to a superlative degree is what differentiates him from the rest of Europe's high-class midfielders, but Kimmich could take a claim for bearing such talent.

Kimmich, as mentioned above, is a midfielder of far-reaching quality, and there is every chance that he would lift Slot's Liverpool to another level upon signing this summer, proving to be the catalyst to turbo-power and raise the bar to match that of the country's imperious champions.

For just £25m, it would simply be an offence to refrain from at least making an advance…

Newcastle United are close to completing a transfer for a £20m-rated player, according to one journalist.

Newcastle transfer rumours

The Magpies finished in the Champions League places and reached the League Cup final in 2022/23. Their 2023/24 campaign, in comparison, was something of a letdown. They were plagued with injury issues, and this was very much reflected in the form across the season. The North East outfit were eventually able to put together a string of positive results to secure a 7th-place finish in the Premier League, but Manchester United's FA Cup triumph over Manchester City means that there will be no European football at St James' Park next term.

Newcastle can replace Bruce signing with deal for £28m "goal machine"

Newcastle are looking to make more additions after the arrival of Lloyd Kelly.

ByEthan Lamb Jun 15, 2024

As a result, Eddie Howe and co are no doubt eager to strengthen this summer as they battle it out to once again secure Champions League football. Newcastle have already signed out-of-contract Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly, who is understood to have penned a five-year deal with the club.

In terms of potential signings still on the table, Ferran Torres has been linked with a move to St James' Park, with Barcelona potentially willing to move him on. Juventus' Samuel Iling-Junior has also been backed to join the Magpies before the 2024/25 season gets underway, while former Arsenal star Matteo Guendouzi is believed to be of interest.

Newcastle close to signing "terrific" £20m player

Now, it appears Newcastle are close to completing their second signing of the summer following the capture of Kelly. The player seemingly on his way up north is Burnley and England shot-stopper, James Trafford.

The 21-year-old joined the Clarets from Manchester City last summer and endured a rough debut season at Turf Moor. Burnley were relegated from the Premier League with a -37 goal difference, while Trafford himself conceded 62 goals and kept just two clean sheets in 28 league outings across the past season.

Despite his struggles on the pitch, however, Trafford still looks to have a bright future ahead of him. He was named in England's provisional Euro 2024 squad before being cut earlier this month, while ex-Burnley boss Vincent Kompany labelled the keeper as "terrific" in December of 2023 after a 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Newcastle are also apparently still a fan of Trafford despite his struggles in 2023/24 as according to journalist Ben Jacobs, the Englishman is close to making a move to St James' Park, with a fee of £20m being asked for by the Clarets.

“There’s opportunism not just because Burnley have gone down but because they have lost their manager – Vincent Kompany,” Jacobs said via TBR.

“There would be a lot of interest there in moving to Fulham (for Jacob Bruun Larsen). The only downside there is that according to my information, James Trafford to Newcastle is getting quite close to being done. Burnley are pushing for a fee of £20m, and Burnley will be in a stronger position in the market.”

Rangers were certainly busy in the transfer market last summer, but supporters will be demanding more new recruits come January.

13 new additions were made in July and August, but this team has got significantly worse, leading to sporting director Kevin Thelwell feeling the need to do an interview with the club’s in-house TV channel during the international break.

Having sacked Russell Martin after only 15 games in charge and appointed Danny Röhl, the German will surely demand new recruits when the winter window opens in just 41 days time, so could Rangers bring in some much-needed defensive reinforcements?

Rangers' need for defensive depth

After taking a couple of matches to figure things out, new coach Röhl has settled on a back three, notably deploying this shape against Hibs, Roma and Celtic.

As a result, centre-back will surely be a key position he’ll seek to strengthen in January, given the Light Blues’ lack of depth and quality in this position.

Summer signing Nasser Djiga has regularly proved himself to be an unreliable figure, making a high-profile error against Club Brugge, having been sent off on his home Premiership debut against Dundee, thereby losing his place in the side (video below).

Meantime, John Souttar has been Rangers’ most impressive centre-back so far, starting 23 of 24 fixtures to date, albeit he can unfortunately never be relied upon to remain fit for a long period of time.

He withdrew from Scotland’s starting lineup mere minutes before Tuesday’s historic World Cup qualifying win over Denmark after suffering an injury in the warm-up and was at fault in the game against Greece, with James McFadden stating that he had a “nightmare” in that clash.

So, right now, even when everyone is fit, Röhl has just four senior centre-backs for three starting positions, one of which is Emmanuel Fernandez, who has not started a match since August.

Perhaps an addition in January would do the trick.

Rangers targeting a new centre-back

According to reports in Belgium earlier this month, Rangers have “made enquiries” as they aim to sign defender Mujaid Sadick from Genk.

Well, Football Transfers believes the 25-year-old is worth around £8m, which would make him one of Rangers’ most-expensive signings of all-time, so would he be worth the investment?

Mujaid began his senior career at Deportivo La Coruña in Spain, making 55 appearances for the fallen Spanish giants, before moving to Belgium in 2021, appearing 136 times for current employers Genk, who finished third in last season’s Jupiler Pro League.

This season, he has been a near ever-present for the Smurfs, including starting all four of their Europa League matches, the first of which was a 1-0 victory at Ibrox, with former Celtic striker Oh Hyeon-gyu the match-winner.

The Spaniard’s statistics certainly make for impressive reading, as outlined below.

As the table highlights, Mujaid’s statistics in Belgium’s top-flight this season are generally pretty imperious.

No players boast a higher pass completion %, while he is also in the top 20 when it comes to tackles and clearances.

The Rangers Journal described the Spaniard as “physical, athletic, good on the ball and aggressive”, while his “versatility” has also been praised, which would certainly enhance his reputation with Röhl, who regularly tinkers with his shape and formation both from one game to the next but also within a match.

Thus, what is clear is that Rangers really need to sign another centre-back in January to avoid having to play stop-gaps as part of Röhl’s back three.

Mujaid’s statistics and potential, still only 25 years and playing in the sixth-strongest league on the planet, according to Global Football Rankings, all suggest he would represent an upgrade on Djiga and Souttar, the latter has been in good form, but is injury prone and whether or not his performances as sustainable remains a question mark.

The Spaniard would be an expensive investment, but one Rangers may have to make to correct the errors made in the summer.

Ben Foakes comes in for resting Jos Buttler, coach mulls bowling options

George Dobell10-Feb-2021Chris Silverwood believes there will be no “weakening” of the England team even if he decides to make several changes to it ahead of the second Test against India.England won the first Test of the series by 227 runs but, with only three full days between games, the team management have suggested they will use a rest and rotation policy to keep players – especially bowlers – as fit and fresh as possible.One change is certain. With Jos Buttler, who has enjoyed an impressive few weeks in Sri Lanka and India, given a couple of weeks to rest at home, Ben Foakes will take the gloves for the first time in two years.Related

Phlegmatic Ben Foakes prepared for Test recall after two years on the sidelines

It is also possible England will recall Stuart Broad in the place of James Anderson and Olly Stone in the place of Jofra Archer. There might also be discussion over recalling Moeen Ali in place of Dom Bess, who experienced a match of great highs and lows.While leaving out a player as celebrated as Anderson might appear controversial, Silverwood insists he will not be afraid to make such a decision with a view to ensuring his players remain at their best for the entire series and the many challenges that lie beyond it.”I’m not reluctant to change a winning team if it’s the best thing to do for the players and the team and the longevity of it,” Silverwood said. “You run the risk of the result being different, but you could play the same team and the result would be different because we know India will come back hard.”It is hard to leave a player like Anderson out; he is a class act. But Stuart Broad didn’t play in the last game and we’ve many bowlers here who we could play at any given point.”But no, I’m not reluctant to change the team because I think it’s the best thing for us to do over a long period.”I don’t see it as weakening; I see it as an opportunity for people to come in and show what they can do.”England utilised the rotation policy in Sri Lanka. Anderson and Broad both played one Test each and, at the end of the trip, Sam Curran and Mark Wood, who had played in both Tests, were sent home for a rest. They were replaced by Ben Stokes and Archer, who had been rested for the Sri Lankan leg of the trip.While such policies might have been controversial a decade ago, there appears to be a growing appreciation of England’s schedule and the tough physical conditions in which many of these games are played. They are due to play 17 Tests this year with a T20 World Cup and limited-overs tours to Bangladesh and Pakistan to consider, too.While Buttler’s keeping has been excellent on this tour, Foakes should prove an able deputy. He was player of the series when England won in Sri Lanka at the end of 2018 and, as well as being considered the best gloveman in England, has a higher Test (41.50) and first-class (38.78) batting average than Buttler (34.53 and 33.38 respectively).Broad (who conceded 1.33 runs per over and claimed his three wickets at a cost of 11.33 apiece) and Anderson (1.48 and six at 7.66 respectively) were both successful in Sri Lanka, with both having accepted the advantages of rest and rotation as they seek to extend their careers. Mitchell Starc, by comparison, played throughout Australia’s recent series against India and saw his figures deteriorate.Still, while rotating them worked in Sri Lanka and looks set to be tried again here, Silverwood has not ruled out combining them as some stage. With the third Test of the series being played with a pink ball and under lights, that could provide the opportunity.”Has it crossed my mind? Yes: they are both class acts,” Silverwood said. “There is potential to do that.”Things are working at the moment and we do have to look after our players, but I just feel very lucky I have an abundance of talent that means we can do this.”James Anderson helped seal England’s first-Test win against India•BCCISilverwood also agreed that, such is Anderson’s dedication to his fitness, he could play on into his 40s.”Could he play into his 40s? It’s his choice,” Silverwood said. “He is in the best shape of his life. He has worked extremely hard on his fitness and is in great shape and bowling beautifully. As long as he is fit and strong and healthy and wants to play he throws his hat in the ring.”We have a very good science and medical team. I feel very lucky to have the staff I have working in that department. But Jimmy is a shining light. He is the best form of his life from a physical point of view and that is reflected in his bowling.”

Wiaan Mulder, the South Africa allrounder, has signed to play for Leicestershire as an overseas player in the 2021 County Championship and Royal London Cup.Mulder, 22, impressed in South Africa’s 2-0 Test victory over Sri Lanka earlier this month, taking nine wickets at 20.55. In first-class cricket, he averages 38.73 with the bat, with five hundreds, and 24.43 with the ball.As well as three Test caps, has also been played for South Africa in the ODI format, and had a spell in county cricket in 2019 with Kent. He is expected to be available for Leicestershire throughout the summer.”Wiaan is a top-class allrounder who we have kept an eye on for several months,” Leicestershire head coach, Paul Nixon, said. “He has recently returned to the international scene and we are delighted to have Wiaan sign for us.Related

“Wiaan is a player who is comfortable batting in the top six and is a first-change bowler at the very highest level. He is highly experienced for a young player and will add a huge amount to our group.”I have spoken to many people about Wiaan and everybody has good things to say about how he goes about his work. Wiaan is a match-winner who is very rarely out of the game with his all-round abilities.”Leicestershire finished fifth in the North Group in last season’s Bob Willis Trophy, and will begin the 2021 Championship – which is being played in three seeded groups – in Group 2 alongside Somerset, Hampshire, Surrey, Gloucestershire and Middlesex.
