Liverpool are ready to enter the race for Blackpool star Charlie Adam, skysports.com understands.

Blackpool are facing a fight to keep hold of the midfield playmaker having already rejected bids from Aston Villa and Birmingham.

Adam has been a revelation for Blackpool this season with a number of eye-catching performances in their first season in the top flight.

Liverpool are now believed to be weighing up a move for the former Rangers man as new Reds boss Kenny Dalglish looks to add some creativity to the side.

Dalglish has admitted he is keen to bring in a few new faces during this month's transfer window and he is thought to be a big admirer of his fellow Scot.

Liverpool will have a good opportunity to see Adam up close and personal when they take on Blackpool on Wednesday at Bloomfield Road in their rearranged clash following the initial postponement on Boxing Day.

Adam has 18 months to run on his contract at Blackpool and Ian Holloway would be loath to lose their star performer.

Skysports.com understands that Manchester United and Liverpool will bid for Southampton starlet Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the next 48 hours.

The 17-year-old Portsmouth-born midfielder is regarded as one of the country's brightest talents having won rave reviews from his 14 starts for the League One outfit.

Oxlade-Chamberlain opened the scoring in Tuesday night's 6-0 thumping of Oldham and he picked the perfect game to shine with United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and Liverpool director of football strategy Damien Comolli watching in the stands.

Ferguson was believed to be at Boundary Park to assess the progress of on-loan keeper Ben Amos, although he was also able to kill two birds with one stone by seeing Oxlade-Chamberlain at first hand.

The two Premier League giants are not the only top-flight clubs keen on securing the starlet's signature, which is expected to cost in the ?10million region.

Liverpool see the teenager, dubbed the new 'Theo Walcott', as the perfect support striker for Fernando Torres and they are already building for the future having snapped up exciting talent Raheem Sterling from QPR last year.

Manuel Almunia and Andrey Arshavin 'set for Arsenal transfer exits'

Almunia, 33, has always been top of the likely departures from the Emirates Stadium this month after falling behind both Lukasz Fabianski and Wojciech Szczesny in the pecking order.

He is being linked with a move to Turkish giants Galatasaray, having seen interest from Atletico Madrid cool after he was initially linked with a move back to his homeland of Spain.

However, speculation surrounding the future of the out-of-form Arshavin could cause unrest among some sections of the club's fanbase, where there remains support for the creative but mercurial and inconsistent Russian.

His recent form has caused some concern for Gunners supporters, who are split over his value to the team.

And his agent, Dennis Lachter, has revealed a move to Italian giants Juventus could be on the cards before the end of the month.

'There?s a possibility of Andrei?s move to Juventus,' Lachter said.

'But two things can prevent this deal - first, Arsenal can win the Premier League this year, which is a dream of any footballer.

'And second is the financial power of Juve, as Arsenal are demanding no less than ?20million to release Arshavin.'

Even if Wenger loses both players, though, he is still not expected to use the money to add to his squad in Almunia and Arshavin's respective positions.

The Frenchman has said he is only looking at centre-backs, where the squad are stretched particularly thin at the moment because of injury problems for Thomas Vermaelen and Sebastien Squillaci.

Sunderland have accepted a shocking ?18 million bid from Aston Villa for striker Darren Bent, according to reports.

The England international has travelled to Birmingham with a view to completing a medical and agreeing personal terms over a move that would smash Villa's transfer record, according to The Times.

A one-line statement on the Sunderland website reads: "The club can confirm that it received a written transfer (request) from Darren Bent following yesterday's Wear-Tyne derby match."

In a major show of faith in beleaguered Villa boss Gerard Houllier, club owner Randy Lerner is backing the move which is worth almost double the ?9.65m paid out for Ashley Young in the January transfer window three years ago.

Bent is Sunderland's top scorer this season with 11 goals in all competitions. Villa, struggling for goals, are currently out of the relegation zone on goal difference alone.

After struggling for games at Tottenham, Bent's ?10m switch to Sunderland 18 months ago resurrected his career. In 58 Premier League appearances for the Wearsiders, he has scored 32 goals.

A popular figure in the North East, he now looks set to be joining recent signing Jean Makoun in the Midlands, after the Cameroon midfielder sealed his move to Villa Park from Lyon last week.

The news will be a major blow for Sunderland boss Steve Bruce, who has led the Black Cats to 6th in the table. It is understand that Bruce will be allowed to re-invest the money raised from the sale of Bent in his squad.

I am absolutely GUTTED about this. I have no idea who we can replace him with. Campbell is injured, as is Wellbeck who is only on loan, our midfield cant score for **** so it leaves only Gyan to score all of our goals for the rest of the season :unsure:

Birmingham have backed out of a deal to sign striker Robbie Keane from Tottenham because "financially he wasn't the best option available".

The decision on Keane, 30, was taken after a meeting between acting Blues chairman Peter Pannu, boss Alex McLeish and chief scout Paul Montgomery.

"This is unfortunate because Keane is a class act," said Pannu.

"But supporters can rest assured we are considering other options and will pursue them where financially viable."

Skysports.com understands Liverpool have made an approach to sign Aston Villa winger Stewart Downing.

The England international has impressed for Villa this season and has been an ever-present for the club in the Premier League.

He is Villa's top scorer with five goals in the league and is understood to have been the subject of an enquiry from Sunderland last week.

The 26-year-old is now being targeted by Liverpool as new manager Kenny Dalglish seeks to inject some fresh blood into his squad.

Downing cost Villa ?12million from Middlesbrough 18 months ago and he has made 64 appearances after injury delayed the start of his career in the Midlands.

Villa boss Gerard Houllier revealed last month that he was confident that he would be able to retain the services of Downing during the January transfer window.

However, Villa's pursuit of Sunderland striker Darren Bent could prompt the club to consider letting Downing move on.

An offer of ?18million is reported to have been made for Bent and cashing in on Downing would provide some of the funds to bring in his fellow England international.

Tottenham have joined Chelsea in having a bid accepted by Everton for midfielder Steven Pienaar.

The South African's future at Goodison Park has looked uncertain for some time, with his current contract set to expire at the end of the season.

David Moyes revealed after Sunday's 2-2 draw with Merseyside rivals Liverpool that the Toffees had agreed a fee with Chelsea, believed to be in the region of ?3million.

Moyes also revealed that a lower offer from Tottenham had been rejected and Spurs manager Harry Redknapp responded by saying his side would probably not return with an improved bid.

However, it appears they have now matched Chelsea's valuation and will be hopeful of winning the chase for his signature as Pienaar has yet to agree personal terms with the Blues.

Pienaar arrived at Everton in 2007 on an initial loan deal from Borussia Dortmund before making the move permanent the following year.

He has established himself as a key figure in Moyes' side but negotiations over a new deal proved unsuccessful and he now looks set to embark on a new adventure in London.

Rafael van der Vaart feels Mark van Bommel would be a useful addition to the Tottenham squad.

Spurs have enjoyed considerable success with Dutch acquisitions this season, with Van der Vaart having been a revelation since joining the club last summer.

His arrival has brought added creativity to the ranks, while the Holland international also has a keen eye for goal.

Having benefited considerably from snapping up the Dutchman, Harry Redknapp may be prepared to tread a similar path in the January transfer window.

Dutch midfielder Van Bommel is a player attracting plenty of interest, with his contract running down at Bayern Munich.

A switch elsewhere has been touted, with a number of clubs said to be waiting in the wings.

Tottenham have been mentioned as one possible destination for Van Bommel and he would be welcomed with open arms by his fellow countryman Van der Vaart.

"He is a super player with lots of experience, who would help any team," he said.

"Tottenham want to take the next step to get to the same level as our local rivals Arsenal.

"I think that is possible. Therefore we can use good players."

While keen to sell Spurs to potential new arrivals, Van der Vaart has again reiterated his long-term commitment to the club, following a difficult spell in Spain.

"After my time at Real Madrid, which was not a very happy one, I have rediscovered my love for the game at Tottenham," he told Sport Bild magazine.

"My heart is now at Tottenham. It is not a huge club but rather a real traditional club, like I have already learned to love at Hamburg or Ajax.

"I feel settled in London and would like to play here for many years."

Sunderland star Darren Bent on verge of shock ?24million switch to Aston Villa: Bruce anger as star demands transfer

Darren Bent was at a Midlands hotel on Monday night awaiting the green light to complete a sensational ?24million transfer to Aston Villa.

Sunderland fans were left stunned at the thought of losing their star striker just hours after seeing their team grab a last-gasp draw in the North East derby.

Bent had submitted a transfer request barely two hours after celebrating Asamoah Gyan's injury-time equaliser against Newcastle.

Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner has agreed to smash the club's record transfer fee - ?12m for James Milner - and back manager Gerard Houllier.

He has followed the ?7m capture of Lyon midfielder Jean Makoun by raiding Sunderland for their prize asset.

Sunderland boss Steve Bruce and chairman Niall Quinn were last night set to rubber-stamp a deal that will start from a basic ?19m with add-ons to take it up to ?24m.

The 26-year-old Bent, last season's North East player of the year, also put in a transfer request in August when he became aware of big-money approaches from Turkish clubs Fenerbahce and Galatasaray.

Liverpool forward Ryan Babel appears to be on the verge of joining Hoffenheim after emerging as one of the Bundesliga club's 'first-class' transfer targets.

Skysports.com understands the Dutchman has yet to agree personal terms at Rhein-Neckar-Arena, but is having a medical ahead of a proposed ?7million move.

Quotes attributed to Babel earlier on Tuesday implied that the 24-year-old was desperate for a move back to Ajax after failing to prove a success in almost three years with Liverpool.

But Hoffenheim want the Holland international as a replacement for Stoke target Demba Ba, who has essentially gone on strike as he attempts to secure a move to the Premier League, and cover for Chinedu Obasi's injury.

Hoffenheim's billionaire backer Dietmar Hopp told BILD: "Thanks to the acts of Demba Ba, and the injury to Chinedu Obasi, we were left in an emergency situation.

"Babel was one of the first-class candidates that team manager Ernst Tanner was most convinced by."

really?

Yup, I believe we filled our quota of average back-up midfielders with Benayoun. Our squad is still extremely thin and we're in dire need of creative players but that's no reason to buy every average PL player.
I think he's a bargain plus if he turned down Chelsea it doesn't show much for attracting top class players :rofl:

For all we know he might have gone for the wages or the hope of establishing himself as a starter. Hell we let Joey Cole walk away due to his wage demands and no-one can say Liverpool were a more attractive destination back in the summer.

Word has it that we never actually placed a bid on him, it apparently was nothing more than an Everton negotiation tactic. Although the bid from a "major European side" wouldn't make sense if that was the case :devil:

    • An actual cosmic "Eye of Sauron" had been looking straight at us all along

      An actual cosmic "Eye of Sauron" had been looking straight at us all along by Sayan Sen Image by Kovin P. Vasquez via Pexels | Not representative An international team of researchers has solved a long-standing mystery surrounding a distant blazar known as PKS 1424+240, helping explain why it produces some of the brightest high-energy gamma rays and cosmic neutrinos ever observed despite appearing to have a relatively slow-moving jet. The findings were published on June 6 in Astronomy & Astrophysics Letters. The study addresses a broader challenge in astrophysics: understanding how extreme cosmic objects accelerate particles to very high energies and produce very high-energy (VHE) photons and neutrinos. PKS 1424+240 is located billions of light-years from Earth. It has attracted attention for years because it is both a powerful source of VHE gamma rays and the brightest known neutrino-emitting blazar in the sky, according to observations by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. It is also associated with one of the strongest peaks in IceCube's nine-year neutrino sky map A blazar is a type of active galactic nucleus powered by a supermassive black hole that pulls in surrounding matter and launches jets of plasma moving close to the speed of light. What makes blazars unique is their orientation. One of their jets points almost directly toward Earth, making them appear exceptionally bright across the electromagnetic spectrum and allowing scientists to study some of the most extreme physical processes in the Universe. The scientists exclaimed it's like the 'Eye of Sauron' in deep space. Usually, the brightest gamma-ray-emitting blazars are expected to have jets that appear to move very quickly. However, radio observations of PKS 1424+240 suggested that its jet was moving much more slowly, creating a contradiction that became part of a long-running problem known as the "Doppler factor crisis." To investigate, researchers analyzed 15 years of observations from the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), a network of 10 radio antennas spread across the continental United States, Hawaii and St. Croix. Using a technique called Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), astronomers combine signals from widely separated radio telescopes to create a virtual Earth-sized telescope capable of revealing extremely fine details. The team combined 42 polarization-sensitive radio images collected between 2009 and 2025, creating a much deeper and more detailed view of the jet than had previously been possible. The observations were carried out as part of MOJAVE (Monitoring Of Jets in Active galactic nuclei with VLBA Experiments), a long-running program that studies the brightness, polarization and magnetic field structures of jets produced by active galaxies. The project aims to better understand how activity near supermassive black holes is linked to high-energy radiation and neutrino emission. “When we reconstructed the image, it looked absolutely stunning,” said Yuri Kovalev, lead author of the study and Principal Investigator of the European Research Council-funded MuSES project at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy. “We have never seen anything quite like it — a near-perfect toroidal magnetic field with a jet, pointing straight at us.” The image revealed an unusual geometry. The researchers found that Earth lies almost directly in line with the jet, with a viewing angle of less than 0.6 degrees. In simple terms, astronomers are looking almost straight down the jet. This turned out to be the key to the mystery. Because the jet is aimed almost directly at Earth, a relativistic effect called Doppler boosting dramatically increases its apparent brightness. The study found that this effect boosts the emission by a factor of about 30 while also making the jet appear slower than it actually is. “This alignment causes a boost in brightness by a factor of 30 or more,” said Jack Livingston, a co-author at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy. “At the same time, the jet appears to move slowly due to projection effects — a classic optical illusion.” The nearly head-on view also gave scientists a rare look at the jet's magnetic field. Using polarized radio signals, they detected a clear toroidal, or doughnut-shaped, magnetic field component. The observations suggest the jet carries an electric current and that its magnetic field helps launch, shape and stabilize the flow of plasma. Researchers believe this magnetic structure may also play a key role in accelerating particles to energies high enough to produce both gamma rays and neutrinos. “Solving this puzzle confirms that active galactic nuclei with supermassive black holes are not only powerful accelerators of electrons, but also of protons — the origin of the observed high-energy neutrinos,” Kovalev said. The research was conducted under the MuSES (Multi-messenger Studies of Energetic Sources) project, which investigates how active galactic nuclei accelerate particles and generate different cosmic signals, including light and neutrinos. Scientists say understanding how protons are accelerated and linked to neutrino production remains one of the major unanswered questions in astrophysics. The findings help explain why some blazars can appear to have slow jets while still producing extremely bright high-energy emissions. More broadly, the study strengthens the link between relativistic jets, magnetic fields, gamma rays and high-energy neutrinos. Researchers say the results provide new clues about how some of the Universe's most powerful natural particle accelerators work and offer important insights for multimessenger astronomy, which combines different types of cosmic signals to study extreme events in space.

      Microsoft Weekly: Surface Laptop Ultra, Windows 11 context menus, Build 2026 recap, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing the new Surface Laptop Ultra, fresh chips from NVIDIA for Windows on ARM, a no-build week, fixes for Windows 11's context menus, gaming news, reviews, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. At Computex 2026, together with NVIDIA, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its most powerful laptop to date, powered by NVIDIA's RTX Spark processor. Details about this computer are currently scarce, as Microsoft has only revealed certain parts of its specs. So far, we know that the computer has a 15-inch mini-LED display, a rich set of ports, a powerful processor, and all-day battery life. It also comes with a new wallpaper, which you can already download here in full resolution. The Surface Laptop Studio is not the only NVIDIA-powered Surface, which Microsoft unveiled this week. At Build 2026, the company also debuted the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, an odd-shaped desktop with a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU and an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores with FP4 precision, connected via the NVIDIA NVLink-C2C chip-to-chip interconnect for high performance. According to Microsoft, it can run models with up to 120 billion parameters locally without relying on cloud GPU infrastructure. These two new Surface devices are likely to cost quite a lot, and for those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is preparing the next-gen Qualcomm-powered Surface Pro and Surface Laptop. This week, details about these two devices leaked in plenty of detail. Other announcements at Build 2026 include the following: Microsoft unveils new security tools for IT admins and developers building AI products Microsoft announces Scout, an OpenClaw-powered personal agent for enterprise customers Microsoft unveils MAI-Thinking-1 reasoning and MAI-Code-1 coding models Microsoft announced a new Windows 11 native command-line utility Microsoft unveils Majorana 2 quantum chip, accelerating commercial timeline to 2029 Microsoft believes that AI agents will eventually replace apps through Project Solara Microsoft introduces Web IQ, a Bing-powered search system built for AI agents Last week, Microsoft released a new Experimental build, which introduced a major Start menu upgrade. It now lets you toggle off specific parts of the menu without affecting other features, resize the menu, and hide additional UI elements. We published a closer look here, so if you want to know what Microsoft is cooking without enrolling in the Insider program and installing unstable builds, check it out. Speaking of new features, many users are very annoyed about the way Microsoft delivers them. Recently, a frustrated user shared their experience with gradual rollouts, and even Microsoft engineers admitted there is a flaw in the system that prevents new features from applying properly. One of those new features includes the ability to uninstall AI models in Windows 11 with a single click. Windows 11 is finally getting fixes for its slow context menus. Marcus Ash from Microsoft confirmed that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are going to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." According to Marcus, Microsoft will share more details soon. Windows Insider Program Windows 11 preview builds, released last week, are now available for download as standalone ISO files. These days, Microsoft regularly pushes new images, allowing users to clean-install its recent Windows 11 preview builds faster and easier. If you want to try the latest Windows 11 features without jumping through the Windows Update hoops, get those new images here. Sadly, Microsoft did not release new Windows 11 preview builds this week. Come back next time. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. Microsoft is preparing new features for Teams. Later this month, the messenger will receive a new download manager with auto-dismissing notifications, reducing clutter and making the overall experience less annoying when dealing with downloads. Mozilla released Firefox 151.0.3, a new bug-fixing update for the browser. It is a small release, which fixes problems with pasting into text fields and the oversized VPN button on the toolbar. The update is now available for all users in the Release channel. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: VS Code 1.123 introduces massive upgrades for persistent AI developer workflows Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much-needed feature Microsoft faces heat after quietly blocking promised Office features on Apple systems Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs Browser vendors pen an open letter to Microsoft, saying "enough is enough" Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.1 with optimizations for F1 25: 2026 Season, World of Tanks: HEAT, and various bug fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Steven Parker dropped more mini PC reviews this week. GEEKOM Air12 2026 Edition is a low-power, affordable computer with an Intel Tiger Lake Pentium Gold processor, up to 16GB of memory, and 512GB of storage, costing just $349. It is light, quiet, energy efficient, and has modern ports on the front. However, the front-facing USB Type-C is data-only, and there are some quirks with the computer's memory, so check out the full review. The AMD RX 9070 GRE has been released worldwide, and we published a benchmark review comparing this powerful graphics card to the RX 9070 XT, 7800 XT, the NVIDIA RTX 5070, and RTX 4070. It has solid, balanced performance, plenty of RAM, and low temperatures, but watch out for mediocre ray tracing performance and not the best efficiency. Also, we reviewed the Cuktech 10 Ultra, a compact, high-power charger with four ports and a big display full of various stats. This tiny charger can pull nearly 120W and spread that power according to each connected device's needs. It also comes with a high-quality 240W cable, three power modes, and retractable prongs. The best part? It is quite affordable, just make sure you have an outlet placed in the right spot to benefit from the built-in display.
