    They call him 'Little Ibrahimovic' and apparently he is firmly on the radar of Tottenham.

    The player in question is Wissam Ben Yedder, a 24-year-old forward who plays for Toulouse. His record of one goal in 10 games this season isn't very Ibrahimovic, but that doesn't appear to be putting off Spurs. Or Marseille, who are the other team tracking the French player.

    England assistant coach Paul Farbrace has been speaking to the BBC about yesterday's six-wicket defeat by Pakistan in the first one-day game. England made a below-par 216, with Pakistan knocking off the runs with six overs to spare.

    "We talked last night about having the hunger, desire and fight in our batting that we have in our fielding," said Farbrace. "We knew we were short. 250 on that wicket would have been a good score. But from 1-11 we felt we could have done a lot better. There are no excuses, though. We know we need to play better than that.

    "We still think we have another 12 months of finding out what is our best team. We have made great strides from where we were after the World Cup. I think we saw enough last night to see that we have the fight and the passion in the team."

    Top marks to Andrew Ball who has suggested the story of American high school student Jason McElwain in 2006.

    McElwain, who is autistic, helped out with the basketball team of Greece Athena High School in Rochester, New York.

    But for the last game of the season coach Jim Johnson gave McElwain a jersey and put him on the bench.

    With the team in the lead he put McElwain on and after missing his first two shots, the teenager went on to score 20 points in three minutes and was mobbed by the crowd at the end of the game.

    Mourinho will turn it around - Ancelottipublished at 11:19

    Football

    Former Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has backed Jose Mourinho to turn things around at Stamford Bridge.

    Ancelotti also believes the Premier League champions lack motivation this season.

    Speaking to the Daily Mail, external he said: "Jose won't be sacked. They already choose to keep him, and I think they made a good choice.

    "I look from a distance at Chelsea and I think they won the title easily last year and I don't think they are so motivated this year.

    "The manager cannot motivate a player if the player is not self-motivated. It's impossible. They have lost something and it's difficult to change like a switch. You have to work slowly to change.

    "But Mourinho is one of the best managers in the world, no doubt. I look at his body language and he's OK. He is not so worried. He has confidence. He'll sort it out."

    "It's well documented Wales will be without Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey for this November friendly against the Netherlands, but Chris Coleman is happy with the way Bale's injury has been managed by club [Real Madrid] and country. 'He's had a tough time for his injury. It's been a bit stop-start but it's definitely the right move for us to take.'

    "Ramsey has been walking his dog this morning - he can't play due to the hamstring injury he picked up playing for Arsenal against Bayern Munich.

    "On his reported argument with Arsene Wenger over the use of Ramsey, Coleman said: 'I'm not in the habit of publically speaking about another manager in a tit for tat but I reacted to what was said, and rightly so but that's done now, that's finished. The amount of times I fall out with my staff or my players, if it was to be that we never spoke after that then I probably wouldn't have many friends left.'"

    Thanks to Shivam Manghnani for suggesting Jonas Gutierrez scoring against West Ham at the end of last season.

    The former Newcastle midfielder was one of the feel-good stories of last season after he overcame testicular cancer and returned to action in March.

    The Argentine went on to help keep Newcastle in the Premier League and scored against the Hammers on the last game of the season.

    There have been suggestions of a run-in with Arsene Wenger over the selection of Aaron Ramsey, but Chris Coleman is pretty adamant that he will not rest players for Wales' friendlies ahead of Euro 2016.

    "We shouldn't be seen as a vehicle for resting players," he has told reporters at Wales' news conference ahead of Friday's friendly with the Netherlands.

    However, on the subject of Gareth Bale's return with Real Madrid and the forward missing the Netherlands game, Coleman said: "It's definitely the right route for us to take."
