Transfer market: Chelsea tracking Arthur Avom

According to journalist Ekrem Konur, Chelsea are monitoring 21-year-old Cameroonian midfielder Arthur Avom of FC Lorient. Leeds, Sunderland, Everton, Bournemouth and Hull City are also reportedly interested, but no official offer has been reported. Avom joined Lorient in August 2023 and helped the club win the Ligue 2 title and return to the top flight. He is reportedly under contract until June 2027, and Lorient could consider a January departure for €10–12 million, though the club has yet to confirm those details.

Hervé Renard left Oumar Diakité out of Côte d’Ivoire’s squad for its two matches against Gambia on November 12 and 17 in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The striker’s second consecutive omission has drawn criticism from fans, despite his 10 goals and four assists in 11 games for Sturm Graz, where he is on loan from Reims. Renard said he preferred Ange-Yoan Bonny and Elye Wahi, noting that performances in leagues of different levels are not directly comparable. Côte d’Ivoire and Gambia are joint leaders of Group C after winning their opening two matches.

‘Clicky Ponting’ handed two-year suspension over cricket cheating scandal

Brian Devine, an English amateur cricketer nicknamed “Clicky Ponting,” has been suspended for two years by the North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricket League. He was accused of clicking his fingers to imitate the sound of a ball nicking the bat and deceive umpires when the wicketkeeper caught deliveries that had been missed. The ban runs from September 30, 2026, to September 29, 2028, and bars him from playing, coaching, umpiring, scoring or managing junior teams. Saltburn Cricket Club was also fined £300, its second XI was relegated, and it will start the 2027 season with a 60-point deduction.
