Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma has been linked with numerous Premier League clubs for the past season and a half, with Aston Villa becoming the latest to join the race for the Malian's signature. Photo by Robbie Jay Barratt Writer for Birmingham Live John Townley, said: "The holding role is a vital component in Gerrard's 4-3-3 system and a signing of Bissouma's quality could arguably be a more important capture than that of Coutinho. "But at a reported £40 million, it is unlikely Gerrard will get his man this month." The 25-year-olds contract expires in 18 months, but is still expected to cost around the £40 million mark as Brighton aren't willing to lose one of their key players. Brighton manager Graham Potter spoke on the matter in a press conference on Thursday morning stating: "I expect to keep all my players during this window."

Berkhamsted aimed to continue their fine form and make it seven wins in a row against an exciting Ware side. Berko, who started the day top of the Southern League Central Division One, were aiming to beat a Ware side who had been narrowly defeated by Welwyn Garden City in midweek. After seven wins in a row, including most recently an impressive penalty victory over Chesham United, Berko manager Chris Devane and his players would've been feeling confident heading into this fixture.

Ware's finest moment of the first half an hour came when a cut back reached onrushing midfielder Thomas Bruno who struck a thunder...
The third round of the Herts Senior Cup saw League Two Stevenage travel a short distance to Broadwater to face unfancied yet threatening Berkhamsted FC. Stevenage made a blistering start to the game, hitting the post inside the first five minutes after Andponcos Georgiou beat his man and cut the ball back for target man Alex Reid. Shortly after, Stevenage won a corner and a good delivery was met by captain Ronnie Henry whose header crept wide of the post. The aerial threat Stevenage possessed continued to cause Berkhamsted problems as they came close from numerous set pieces throughout the match. After a strong challenge in the middle, Ryan Plowright limped off and was replaced by creative midfielder Ross Adams, forcing a versatile James Towell to switch to left-back. Shortly after the substitution, an unorganised Berkhamsted defence almost allowed Reid to score the opener after Berkhamsted’s goalkeeper James Weatherill sliced a pass played back to him.
