Joao Gomes rejects Lyon in favour of Wolves transfer in 2023

0

Wolves are set to complete the signing of Joao Gomes in the coming days, after an attempt to hijack the transfer by Lyon. The French side had tried to reach an agreement with Flamengo themselves, but could not persuade the player. 

He was committed to joining Wolves in the Premier League, and is expected to complete the switch by the end of the transfer window. The Midlands club will receive a fee worth €17 million, and he will be signing a deal of five years until June 2028. 

Joao Gomes chooses to join Wolves after Lyon hijack attempt 

After Chelsea hijacking Arsenal’s pursuit of Mykhaylo Mudryk and Tottenham hijacking Everton’s Arnaut Danjuma deal, Lyon could have been the next in line to complete a hijacked deal. 

However, the player was always committed to playing at the Molineux. And he will get his wish once he completes the medicals and the other formalities for the move. 

Wolves have signed Matheus Cunha, Pablo Sarabia, Mario Lemina and Craig Dawson during the January transfer window to bolster their squad. And Joao Gomes will soon be added to that list. They are currently in a battle to survive in the Premier League, and are only ahead on goal difference. 

With Julen Lopetegui trusted with plenty of new signings recently, the board will be expecting a better performance during the second half of the season.

At CES 2023, Samsung unveiled several new gaming monitors, including the 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9 and the 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9. The company, however, had not yet revealed all of its cards, and it has now released one of the best 4K gaming monitors, the 43-inch Odyssey Neo G7 (G70NC).

The Odyssey Neo G7’s standout feature is its 43-inch Quantum Mini-LED panel, which is the first of its kind from Samsung.

Samsung claims “ultra-fine and precise control” of the Mini LEDs, as well as a richer black as a result of this technology. Furthermore, Samsung uses a matte finish on the panel to help reduce reflections.

In terms of specifications, this is a standard 4K (3840 x 2160) gaming monitor with a 144 Hz refresh rate, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support, a 1ms MPRT, 400 nits (typical) brightness, and VESA HDR 600 certification. If you want to connect the monitor to a high-end gaming rig or a current-generation console like the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X, Samsung has you covered. There are two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 port. There are also two USB 3.0 ports and dual 20-watt speakers.

Even more intriguing is the inclusion of Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 5, and an Ethernet port. The addition of networking allows the Odyssey Neo G7’s Samsung Smart Hub and Samsung Gaming Hub to function. The Samsung Smart Hub transforms the monitor into a streaming entertainment hub, providing direct access to services such as Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video.

The Samsung Gaming Hub, on the other hand, enables standalone gaming without the use of a computer or game console. Streaming services such as Xbox xCloud Gaming and Nvidia GeForce Now are available. You can connect a wireless controller using the Bluetooth wireless radio mentioned above, or you can plug your controller into one of the USB 3.0 ports.

The former piled up 59 runs while the latter mustered 52. Washington Sundar scalped destructive player Finn Allen at 35 and Mark Chapman at zero. Interestingly, the on-field umpires weren’t sure if it was a catch but the umpire was confirmed after the fans in the stadium cheered. He took a spectacular one-handed catch to dismiss him. India was chasing 177 and had a poor start listing their first three batters in just four overs. Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya put up a good show having a partnership of 51 runs but eventually, both got dismissed. Even Washington Sundar‘s brave performance couldn’t help India from sinking. Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santer scalped two wickets that put the visitors in a favorable position. Yadav and Pandya kept the hope alive for some time but at last, it got in vain.

Arsenal and Chelsea bid for Moises Caicedo: £60 million latest offer for Brighton midfielder

0

Arsenal and Chelsea have made offers for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo in the last few days. But by the looks of it, both London clubs have had their offers turned down by the Seagulls. 

Chelsea made an offer worth £55 million while Arsenal’s was a bit higher at £60 million fixed, without add-ons. However, the club is determined to keep their player at least until the end of the season. 

Moises Caicedo attracting interest from top Premier League clubs 

“He is only focused on Brighton. I understand he has the chance to go to a very big team but I hope he can stay with us until the end of the season,” Brighton head coach Roberto De Zerbi said. 

“My opinion is that is the best solution for him and us”.

Liverpool have also been linked with the midfielder, but have not submitted any offer yet. They, alongside Arsenal, are in need of a new midfielder and have identified Moises Caicedo as a suitable addition to their line-ups. 

The player has recently taken up new agents and has informed Brighton that he would be open to a new challenge. But their stance is not to sell him during the middle of the season. His performances have made him a very valuable member of the squad, and losing him would be a huge blow to the latter half of their season. 

Anthony Gordon to join Newcastle United: £40 million deal agreed

0

Newcastle United have reached an agreement with Everton to sign Anthony Gordon. The two clubs have negotiated a transfer fee worth £40 million, and the transfer has been given the here we go signal by Fabrizio Romano. 

As a result, we can expect the move to be completed by the end of the January transfer window at the latest. The youngster has agreed personal terms for a long-term contract and will be completing his medical in the next few days to finalise the move. 

Anthony Gordon to join Newcastle United for £40 million 

This summer, the winger was linked with a move to Chelsea for a hefty price tag of £50 million. At the time, Everton blocked the transfer and wanted Anthony Gordon to stay at the club. But now, he has found a new team to play for and will soon join their ranks. 

After an impressive start to the season, the goals have seemingly dried up for Gordon. Moreover, with Everton in second-last place in the table and manager-less, it is easy to see why they are cashing in on a player that doesn’t want to stay any further

Considering the kind of project that Eddie Howe has been building at Newcastle United, Gordon fits the profile perfectly. The pacey winger will provide a threat from our wide, which could be very useful for the team during the tail end of the season to keep things fresh.  

Apple Silicon Limited Update concerns Mac Pro lovers

The upcoming new Mac Pro is anticipated to have the same roomy modular design as the previous model, but there are new worries about its lack of upgradeability. Creative workers like the Intel Mac Pro that Apple currently sells due to its highly upgradeable, modular design.

Up to 1.5TB of high-performance memory and Xeon CPUs having 28 cores and 64 PCI Express lanes are supported. Additionally, it features 8 PCIe expansion slots, and the APX Modules support up to six distinct GPU configurations. After purchase, all of the parts are upgradeable.

Apple Silicon Limited Update!?

A new M2 Ultra chip, which really is essentially 2 M2 Max chips joined together and has up to a 24-core CPU, up to a 76-core GPU, as well as at least 192GB of unified memory, is anticipated to be used in Apple’s upcoming high-end M2 Extreme chip, which has apparently been scrapped. Prospective owners are beginning to question the modularity of the Mac Pro due to this uniform architecture. The forthcoming iteration of the Intel-based Mac Pro, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, won’t have user-upgradable RAM because it is connected directly to the motherboard of the M2 Ultra, he said earlier this month.

Storage is the sole remaining user-upgradable portion of the Mac Pro, leaving only room for networking and media cards. Gurman thinks that the ostensibly vast free space in the unchanged tower case could be used to house a bigger cooling system, which might set it apart from the Mac Studio by enabling noticeably quicker performance.

2 81 Apple Silicon Limited Update concerns Mac Pro lovers

It’s important to note that Gurman seems to have come to this conclusion about non-upgradable GPUs based on logic instead of specific insider knowledge. But if it turns out that he is right, it might discourage potential customers from spending so much money on a piece of equipment that does not provide the same level of expandability that is future-proof.

The Mac Pro now has a starting price of $5,999, but custom combinations might push the price up to almost $52,000. The high-end Mac Studio with the M1 Ultra, which starts at $3,999, is virtually guaranteed to cost less than the entry-level Apple silicon Mac Pro with the M2 Ultra.

4 45 Apple Silicon Limited Update concerns Mac Pro lovers

Regardless of the reports, the first Apple silicon Mac Pro is surely coming as Apple has already hinted at its release. In fact, Apple has already begun testing a new Mac Pro model, which is running a beta version of the upcoming macOS Ventura 13.3 operating system. The release of macOS Ventura 13.3 is anticipated for March or April, which means the Mac Pro could potentially go on sale around this time.
