Loaned out RB Leipzig player Eljif Elmas is likely to stay at Torino beyond this season
The 25-year-old who arrived in Turin back in January has since made 4 Serie A appearances and scored 3 goals in the process.
Torino are believed to be very happy with the North Macedonian’s output so far and could imagine activating the purchase option of €18million in summer.
if Torino decides against a permanent deal
Leipzig will use the agreed €18million as a basis for negotiations with other parties.
This fee could raise ever so slightly if the midfielder continues to deliver on the pitch.
Elmas’ market value has already risen to €12million according to Transfermarkt.com and other clubs are believed to be interested.
It is day 17 of the January transfer window for clubs in England and across Europe

Valencia are exploring a loan move for RB Leipzig midfielder Eljif Elmas
As yet there are no official talks between clubs
but he is a player of interest for Valencia
Elmas has also attracted interest from elsewhere this month and the Spanish club are not leading the race to sign him at this stage
The 25-year-old joined Leipzig from Napoli in a deal worth €25million (£21.5m
he has played just six times in all competitions this season and been restricted to two substitute appearances in the Bundesliga
His last club appearance came against Celtic in the Champions League on November 5
He returned to the matchday squad for the first time on Wednesday
following nearly two months out with a muscular injury
Elmas joined Leipzig off the back of winning the Serie A title with Napoli during the 2022-23 season
featuring in 36 of their 38 league matches during the title-winning campaign
The North Macedonia international would join a Valencia side who are bottom of La Liga
having won just twice in the league this season
The club appointed Carlos Corberan as their new head coach in December following the sacking of Ruben Baraja

Joe Hugill is set to sign for Carlisle United on loan
with the young Manchester United striker undergoing a medical at Brunton Park
a club that played to his strengths and where he would get regular minutes after recalling him from his spell at Wigan Athletic
Northampton and Shrewsbury were looking at him in League One
with Colchester and Newport in League Two also in talks
Ultimately it is the team at the bottom of the Football League — one also under U.S
Hugill is expected to feature heavily as Carlisle aim to fight relegation and should be registered in time to face Bradford tomorrow
Hugill joined United from Sunderland aged 16
and was namechecked by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after scoring four goals against Liverpool’s under-21s in Premier League 2 in 2021
where he scored five goals in 18 appearances

Much of the conversation when Erling Haaland arrived in England in 2022
centred on how long he would actually stay in the Premier League
That thinking was fuelled by reports about release clauses in his contract
and particularly by comments such as this from his father
in a documentary filmed during the process of choosing his next club
Haaland has signed on at Manchester City until 2034
which will theoretically take him to 12 years at the Etihad
Haaland will be 34 when this contract expires
The player everybody assumed would one day play for Real Madrid — indeed the player who had previously hoped to one day play for Real Madrid — has now committed his entire career to City
Maybe he does end up departing sooner than that
but with this decision he has not made it easy for himself
There were several clauses in his initial City contract
different ways to get out if he needed or wanted to
Erling Haaland’s huge career contract – What signing until 2034 means for him and Man City
As for the Manchester City perspective on Erling Haaland’s bumper nine-year contract
that came from director of football Txiki Begiristain
With Pep Guardiola due to speak to the media this lunchtime (UK) ahead of travelling to face Ipswich Town on Sunday
here is what Begiristain told the club website:
💬 “He has made an incredible impact already and his amazing numbers speak for themselves
humility and desire to keep getting better sum up what we all strive to achieve at Manchester City
“He is one of the finest strikers in world football
but Erling is still very young and will only continue to improve working under Pep and his coaching team
he will create an incredible legacy at this football club.”
It sounds ominous for everyone else when you put it like that…
Let’s return to the big news this morning — that Erling Haaland has effectively committed his entire career to Manchester City
The news was broken this morning by our own David Ornstein and has now been confirmed by the club
💬 “I am really happy to have signed my new contract and to be able to look forward to spending even more time at this great club
full of fantastic people with amazing supporters
and the type of environment that helps bring the best out of everybody
as they have all helped me so much in the past couple of years
They have made this such a special place to be and now I am City no matter what
keep working to get better and look to do my best to try and help us achieve more success going forward.”
I’m now wondering whether I should reinstate Haaland to my Fantasy Premier League team in the midst of this news
but it’s probably not the time for rash decisions

Could Neymar follow Wilfried Zaha into Major League Soccer with Chicago Fire
Maybe — although it also sounds like this one won’t come off
Paul Tenorio and Mario Cortegana have written that The Fire have held discussions to sign the 32-year-old Brazilian star
a deal “remains unlikely” and MLS is not currently a priority for Neymar and his family
despite the exploratory dialogue between his camp and Chicago representatives
The key detail is that Neymar is out of contract with Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal this summer
He has seven appearances and one goal in 18 months since leaving Paris Saint-Germain
having ruptured his left knee’s ACL while playing for Brazil in October 2023
we have not heard the last of this one — and there is loads more in Paul and Mario’s report
Chicago Fire hold Neymar talks but MLS transfer for forward unlikely
A familiar face to Premier League fans is also on the move this window
is in the final stages of joining Major League Soccer side Charlotte FC on loan from Galatasaray — as reported by Paul Tenorio
Zaha is expected to join on a one-year loan with an option to extend through to the summer of 2026
That will see him terminate his current loan arrangement at Lyon
where Zaha has made only six appearances in all competitions and started once
An interesting aside: Charlotte are managed by former Aston Villa and Norwich manager
Wilfried Zaha to join MLS club Charlotte FC from Galatasaray: Sources
We start by switching from the blue half of Manchester
And this isn’t even about that incredible late hat-trick from Amad that saved United all sorts of blushes against Southampton last night
this was news from Laurie Whitwell that Serie A club Napoli had approached Manchester United over the availability of Alejandro Garnacho — and that their proposal was “not being entertained” by those at Old Trafford
Napoli head coach Antonio Conte is in the market for a forward
as he looks to replace the influential Khvicha Kvaratskhelia — who in turn looks destined to join Paris Saint-Germain
Throw in the ongoing situation with out of favour Marcus Rashford
and United have a fair amount on their plate right now
Garnacho is under contract at Old Trafford until 2028 having signed a new deal in 2023
and played the entirety of United’s Premier League victory over Southampton last night
Manchester United dismiss Napoli transfer approach for Alejandro Garnacho
that is a lot of excitement for so early in the morning — and it’s only just morning on the U.S
There are a few bits from last night to bring you all up to speed with too
Now feels the optimum time to share this with you
It’s a conversation between the man of the moment
the target now in his sights: Alan Shearer
They talk about the mind of a prolific striker
what it requires to take all those chances
and whether there is room for anything else
Throw in the perfect prose from George Caulkin
and you have a classic of The Athletic genre — one you can enjoy right now
Inside the mind of Erling Haaland: Everything and nothing
Where does this leave Erling Haaland in the race to be the all-time Premier League top goalscorer
Haaland has scored 79 goals since he arrived in England
with Alan Shearer’s tally of 260 goals a distant desire
While Haaland’s rate of 0.96 league goals per 90 is other-worldly
surely Haaland could never catch Shearer’s record based solely on the longevity of his Premier League career — spanning 14 seasons
This new contract changes the narrative altogether
Even a conservative estimate of a 20-goal average spanned across the next 10 seasons would see Haaland reach the tally before his contract is up
A realistic estimate would see him blow the record out of the water with time to spare
This isn’t just big news for Erling Haaland
This news could ripple across the history of the Premier League
Erling Haaland signs new nine-and-a-half-year Manchester City contract
When Erling Haaland signed for Manchester City in 2022
the expectation was that he might only be in the Premier League fleetingly — fuelled not just by the general assumption he would like to play for Real Madrid
but by comments made by his own father about moving around the top European leagues
And yet not only has he signed a new deal at City
he has signed one which essentially makes him a cornerstone of the club for the next decade
A deal that is sure to see him outlast Pep Guardiola
the vast majority if not all of his team-mates
and quite possibly a lot of the executives as well
Nobody knows how the next nine years will pan out but the plan right now is obvious: everything will be built around Haaland
Following a €60million transfer from Borussia Dortmund in 2022
Erling Haaland has scored a staggering 111 goals in 126 games for Manchester City and lifted two English top-flight titles
Haaland will almost certainly surpass manager Pep Guardiola’s time at City
the decorated Catalan having signed a two-year extension last November that takes him through to 2027
team-mates and the club hierarchy — right up to chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak — are known to enjoy an excellent relationship with Haaland
is settled after moving house in the local area and has emulated his father Alfie by playing for City
Retaining who they feel is the world’s best front man — and for such a period — will delight City and their supporters
especially amid a season that has so far seen them struggle on the pitch
Erling Haaland has committed the vast majority of his career to Manchester City by signing an extraordinary new contract that will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until the summer of 2034
Haaland’s previous terms were due to expire in June 2027 but he has now put pen to paper on an improved nine-and-a-half-year agreement
the Norway international will be turning 34 years old — and any release clauses put in his last deal have been removed
Although the precise numbers are currently unclear
this is understood to be among the most lucrative sporting contracts ever and underlines the bond between Haaland
Good morning to you all — and boy do we have a huge story breaking right now from our own prolific news striker
it’s Manchester City and it’s going to dominate the morning
All the details on the way from David next
We are through another round of Premier League fixtures and there is little turnaround time before managers and their teams have to be ready for the next one this weekend

Several top six Bundesliga clubs interested in RB Leipzig’s Eljif Elmas | OneFootballGet German Football News
Bild reports that RB Leipzig flop Eljif Elmas could still have a career in the Bundesliga
with several clubs interested in the North Macedonian international
Leipzig have yet to receive any concrete approaches for Elmas, but it is said that several clubs in the current top six of the Bundesliga made contact with the 25-year-old just before Christmas
there are three clubs where a move for Elmas would make sense
Bayer Leverkusen would allow the midfielder to play behind the striker
next to Florian Wirtz and add more depth to that position
Elmas would help lessen the impact of their ongoing injury issues
While an ambitious move by Mainz could also be an option
the Carnival club have been able to revive the career of Nadiem Amiri

Macedonian midfielder Eljif Elmas joined on Thursday Italian football club Torino from RB Leipzig on loan
with an option to buy until the end of the season
"We would like to wish Eljif all the best in Turin
This loan deal is the best possible solution for all parties
Eljif will get the chance to play a lot of football there in a league he’s really familiar with," Leipzig board member for sports Marcel Schafer said in a statement
Torino confirmed that Elmas would wear the No
who played for Turkish club Fenerbahce between 2017 and 2019
helped Napoli to win the 2022 - 23 Italian Serie A title
the 25-year-old midfielder has been an integral part of the North Macedonia national team
accumulating 65 appearances and netting 13 goals
The Valencia team needs to get rid of several players in order to incorporate the Macedonian
Valencia CF has Macedonian talented midfielder Eljif Elmas on its radar as one of the priorities to strengthen the team in this transfer market
the aspirations of the club are conditioned by the need to free up salary mass and space in the squad
has identified three players who do not fit into his plans: Dani Gómez
The sports management is already working to find them an exit in the coming weeks
who arrived hoping to become a key piece in the attack
has not been able to establish himself and has several suitors in the Second Division
and his high salary is an obstacle to the club's plans
The goal is to close these exits as soon as possible to generate an economic margin that allows the operation for Eljif Elmas to proceed
The RB Leipzig midfielder is a versatile profile that could bring creativity and dynamism to Valencia's midfield
an area that Corberán prioritizes strengthening
Although negotiations for the departures of those mentioned are ongoing
Valencia knows that materializing these operations will not be easy
but the club remains hopeful of unlocking the situation before the market closes
This news is an automatic translation. You can read the original news, Las 3 ventas que tiene que hacer el Valencia para fichar a Eljif Elmas
The scores were locked at 2-2 before an own goal from Cristiano Biraghi handed Bologna the win
Vanoli said afterwards: "It hurts because after playing openly against a great team
there were episodes that make the difference
"The new arrivals can give us more quality and they showed it tonight but at the same time we are disappointed for the situations not exploited in the first half and this makes the difference against strong teams."
Vanoli drew a positive from the performance of loan signing Eljif Elmas
stating: "Elmas is an important player
Tonight in the segment he played he demonstrated his characteristics
"I would also like to underline the performance of (Cesare) Casadei who played a great game
What bothered me was the first goal on which we lost a naive ball
we must keep our heads up because the performance was excellent."

Millions of Australians are casting their votes after an election campaign marred by both Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton accusing each other of making false claims
both the prime minister and opposition leader are correct — AAP FactCheck has debunked more than a dozen claims from both major parties in the past few months
Tens of thousands of dollars have been spent advertising election misinformation to voters ahead of the election
particularly in marginal and battleground seats that could decide the balance of power
Both Albanese and Dutton have also parroted debunked claims in press conferences and debates
often using flawed calculations and cherry-picked data to attack each other
The leaders have continued to repeat false or misleading narratives for weeks
despite experts pointing out the glaring errors in their claims
clear themes have emerged in the types of misinformation being spread
Labor has repeatedly mischaracterised Coalition policy, particularly in relation to healthcare, and run ad campaigns making false claims about purported coalition cuts to services
The coalition, meanwhile, has made false claims about the economy and energy, including ad campaigns that over-egg inflation and how much electricity bills have increased
As voters head to the polls this weekend, AAP FactCheck has compiled a list of debunked claims made by the major parties during the unofficial and official campaigns over 2025
RB Leipzig have confirmed that Eljif Elmas will spend the rest of the season with Torino FC
The 25-year-old midfielder moves to Italy on loan with an option to buy
“We would like to wish Eljif all the best in Turin,” said RB Leipzig board member for sport Marcel Schäfer.
“This loan deal is the best possible solution for all parties
Eljif will get the chance to play a lot of football there in a league he’s really familiar with.”
Leipzig paid a reported €24 million to sign Elmas from Napoli in January 2024

The Portuguese coach is asking for reinforcements from his board and wants a footballer who has already defended the club's colors
has requested the club's board to sign Eljif Elmas
The 24-year-old North Macedonian midfielder
who is under contract with the German team until 2028
is one of the top priorities for the Portuguese coach
who seeks to strengthen his team for the second half of the season
Elmas is not a stranger to Fenerbahçe fans
as he played for the Turkish club between 2017 and 2019
leaving a positive impression due to his technical quality and versatility
aware of the player's potential and international experience
believes his return would be crucial to bolster the midfield and bring dynamism to the team
According to 'Fanatik'
Mourinho's desire to have Elmas back is supported by the fact that the player has become an important piece in Leipzig but might consider returning to Istanbul if the sporting project is attractive enough
offering him greater importance than he currently has in Germany
The operation won't be easy due to Elmas' long-term contract with the German club
yet Fenerbahçe is willing to make a significant financial effort to meet the demands of their star coach
as Elmas could become one of the prominent names in the next transfer market

Ndoye (R) bagged a brace for BolognaAlessandro Sabattini / GETTY IMAGES EUROPE / Getty Images via AFPDan Ndoye’s brace extended Bologna’s unbeaten run to 10 matches
as they came from behind to win for the third time in 2025 courtesy of a 3-2 Serie A victory over Torino.A deluge of rain throughout the afternoon in Northern Italy had put the fixture in doubt
with the game getting underway despite standing water on the pitch
The surface did not seem to hamper either team though
with the hosts having the first real chance through Tommaso Pobega
thunderbolt of an effort from 20 yards saved
They then saw a penalty, originally awarded for a foul on Ndoye by Karol Linetty
but finally took the lead in the 20th minute when the forward squeezed home from a tight angle after bursting onto Pobega’s inch-perfect pass
Match statsStatsperformThat seemed to finally wake up Il Toro
shortly before another chance went begging when Yann Karamoh slipped on the sodden turf as he ran onto the striker’s unselfish pass
The equaliser was just around the corner though, delivered by Nikola Vlašić
who spun in the penalty area and sprayed into the top corner following another counter-attack
That was the first time Vincenzo Italiano’s side had conceded in over five hours
Adams missed another huge opening before the break, but after half time, Bologna wrestled back control
Ndoye was thwarted by Vanja Milinković-Savić
before climbing highest at the back post to head a deep cross over the bar
Those missed chances came back to bite them as Paolo Vanoli’s side went ahead for the first time just after the hour mark through Elif Elmas
who gloriously rode one tackle in the box by delicately clipping the ball over the diving defender
before emphatically finding the back of the net
Elmas celebrates his goalAlessandro Sabattini / GETTY IMAGES EUROPE / Getty Images via AFPThere were still plenty of turns to come in this topsy-turvy game though
The Veltri finally got their penalty minutes later when Pobega was scythed down in the area
allowing Ndoye the chance to equalise as he tucked into the bottom corner past the goalkeeper’s outstretched dive
soon clipped another striker wide as he came close to a third
while Adams had a piledriver tipped over the bar at the other end
That was a rare break forward for Torino
who were trying to make it six games unbeaten on the road for the first time since May 2023
However, their hearts were broken late on when, after Remo Freuler had missed a glorious chance for Bologna, Cristiano Biraghi inadvertently passed the ball into his own net after Santiago Castro’s initial strike had been blocked
That strike sealed all three points for the hosts
who snatch a sixth home win in the league this season

Metrics details
The combination of ongoing urban expansion and electrification of uses challenges the power grid
information regarding customers’ consumption is vital to assess the expected load at strategic nodes over time
and to guide power system planning strategies
Comprehensive household consumption databases are widely available today thanks to the roll-out of smart meters
while the consumption of tertiary premises is seldom shared mainly due to privacy concerns
the French main distribution system operator
commissioned Mines Paris to derive load profiles of industrial and tertiary sectors for its prospective tools
The ELMAS dataset is an open dataset of 18 electricity load profiles derived from hourly consumption time series collected continuously over one year from a total of 55,730 customers
These customers are divided into 424 fields of activity
A clustering approach is employed to gather activities sharing similar temporal patterns
before averaging the associated time series to ensure anonymity
the power network is confronted with rapid changes in the way we produce and consume electricity
The variability induced by increased consumption due to the roll-out of electric vehicles coupled with industry electrification is likely to put pressure on grid assets and generate expensive reinforcement strategies at critical locations on the grid
it is crucial to precisely assess the electricity demand from the consumer side with a fine temporal resolution
Typically the former is built from a large number of facilities but at the cost of a coarse temporal granularity
Collection methods are also different; the industrial and tertiary sectors rely heavily on surveys and energy bills
we introduce the Electrical Load Measurements Aggregated by business Sectors in France (ELMAS) dataset
a set of hourly load profiles dedicated to the industrial and tertiary sectors and derived from more than 55,000 companies
Overview of the load profile generation methodology
Inputs are composed of hourly load time series from 55,730 customers grouped into 424 business sectors
A k-means clustering model based on temporal features is then used to derive groups of business sectors sharing similar consumption patterns
generic load profiles are generated and validated
This study contributes to the scientific literature by proposing numerical load profiles of a wide range of industrial and tertiary actors ranging from wholesale to agriculture
These profiles provide a better understanding of consumer behaviours at various temporal aggregation levels (that range from daily to weekly) thanks to their hourly resolution
the ELMAS dataset significantly stands out from other open access load datasets in the way data is recorded
scientific studies access a very limited panel of engaged customers
the French Distribution System Operator (DSO) provides us a set of nationally-distributed measurements thanks to the deployment of smart metering devices
this is the first dataset that originates from a DSO database
This collaboration makes it possible to supply load profiles related to very specific fields of activities seldom found in the literature (e.g
As these load profiles may be associated with strategic industrial processes
and their disclosure may negatively impact the stakeholders
it is necessary to preserve the anonymity of customers
all the more as they follow the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) framework
are provided at a level of aggregation that prevents any identification
This is the first dataset that represents the demand of both industrial and tertiary sectors in France
and with a finer temporal resolution than the monthly energy bills typically used in other countries
it is challenging to access the electricity consumption records of industrial and tertiary companies due to confidentiality issues
we propose generic electricity consumption profiles associated with 18 relevant business sectors (e.g
730 consumption time series initially split into 424 business sectors and three levels of subscribed capacity
a two-level clustering approach is employed
the time series of the various companies are aggregated w.r.t
to their business sectors and their subscribed level of power
a clustering approach is performed on standardised time series to group business sectors that share similar temporal patterns
This building-level dataset does not provide information regarding the energy use of appliances and equipment
730 industrial and tertiary companies are gathered over the year 2018
This year is divided into 52 weeks starting from January
Special attention has been paid by Enedis to selecting companies with at least one year of consumption measurements and with a high degree of data integrity (i.e
observations that do not mimic an effective consumption behaviour are rejected)
Overview of the generation process of aggregated data used as inputs in the clustering-based approach
The consumption measurements at the company level are aggregated according to the NACE classes for privacy reasons
The combination of these three levels allows us to fill mutual gaps in terms of NACE classes
only aggregated data from the LV-MV group are investigated
(a) This data is derived from the set of 55,730 customers that provides hourly consumption time series
This set constitutes the main input to generate the load profiles of the ELMAS dataset
(b) This data is derived from a larger panel of around 4,534,891 customers that provides annual energy consumption
This source of information is used to correct sampling bias of the former set
the DSO also provides the surface area of buildings that belong to the LV-a / LV-b customer segmentation
which associates surface area and annual energy consumption
790 customers gathered into 426 NACE classes
This process can be divided into five stages: (1) load data preparation
clustering is the core technique of load profiling: it segregates consumption time series sharing similar patterns in the same cluster
while different clusters gather diversified information
From these clusters typical load curves are then derived
which implies that the resulting time series have zero-mean and unit-variance
Distributions of the averaged hourly standardised consumption of three NACE sections according to the hour of the day
and the week of the year for the LV-a level
Structure of the features space used for the clustering step
which is probably one of the most frequently used algorithms for clustering data due to its simplicity and ability to reach near-optimal solutions quickly
the K-means algorithm is a partitional algorithm that minimises the distance between points in a cluster with the point designated as the centre of that cluster
As an unsupervised learning machine algorithm
it does not require any prior knowledge about the dataset
The creation and definition of clusters is performed as follows
the algorithm randomly chooses c features from the set \({{{\mathcal{Z}}}}=\left\{{\overline{Z}}_{1},\cdots \,,{\overline{Z}}_{424}\right\}\)
which gathers the temporal characteristics of the 424 NACE classes
These c NACE classes are used as initial centroids
and constitute the set \({{{\mathcal{A}}}}=\left\{{\overline{A}}_{1},\cdots \,,{\overline{A}}_{c}\right\}\)
a sequence of two steps is repeated until a stopping criterion is met (e.g
the maximum iteration threshold is reached or no change in cluster assignment is observed)
After all the points are assigned, the second step consists in updating the centroids’ positions following Equation (3)
the centroids are recalculated as the weighted average of all data points assigned to a specific cluster
K-means results are sensitive to the initial cluster centres (i.e
which is why the algorithm is usually run several times
then the final clusters are generated with the averaged of the previously determined clusters centre as starting points
The K-means algorithm requires the user to define the number of clusters c to perform data clustering
this value is usually unknown for real applications
Several approaches are developed in the literature to address this issue
a posteriori approaches are employed: the quality of the clustering structure is assessed for several numbers of clusters after the algorithm is run
A good clustering can be defined as a structure characterised by compact and well-separated clusters
Compactness refers to the closeness of the samples to the centroids
in other words it means than samples are similar
while separation denotes that different clusters carry distinct information (visually the clusters do not overlap in the feature space)
three intrinsic methods are considered to assess the quality of the clustering
The distortion score computes the average of the squared distances from the cluster centres of the respective clusters
the closer the data points are to the centroid of the cluster
tight clusters are associated with a low distortion score
Inertia is derived from the within cluster sum of squares: for each cluster
we compute the weighted squared distance between all the points of this cluster and the centroid
a small inertia value indicates a coherent set of clusters
which means that a good score is reached when clusters are tight and far from each other
which is performed for every sample and ranges from − 1 to + 1
indicates how well the point lies within its cluster
A silhouette coefficient close to 1 / 0 / − 1 respectively means that the data point is far from the neighbouring clusters / close to the decision boundary / or may be assigned to the wrong cluster
The graphical display associated with the silhouette coefficients offers a synthetic view of the quality of the clusters for the entire sample
we compute the mean silhouette coefficient of all samples for different numbers of clusters
we are seeking the clustering configuration that leads to the highest mean silhouette value
and silhouette curves against the number of clusters used with the K-means algorithm
The red dashed line represents the identified elbow point (here c = 16)
Distribution of the NACE sections in the clusters before and after the manual reclassification
The colours stand for the annual energy consumption of the cluster
only the second version of the clustering is considered
It is worth mentioning that the surface and annual energy consumption of 10 NACE classes are missing
No imputation strategies have been investigated to fill these gaps
Directory structure of the ELMAS sub-folder
The ELMAS_dataset folder contains the data used to produce the plots of this paper
the documents Description.pdf and ELMAS_data_analysis.pdf respectively provide a description of the dataset and a detailed analysis of the derived clusters and load profiles
The ELMAS_package sub-folder gathers the R scripts used to generate the plots and some of the .csv files
The first batch is composed of the description of NACE sections/classes and the associated coding (NACE_classification.csv)
The files Nb_customer.csv and Annual_energy_time_series.csv gather respectively the number of customers and the annual energy consumption w.r.t
the NACE class and the level of subscribed power
The average consumption and the standard deviation associated with each NACE class is given in Mean_Sd_Nace_classes.csv
The file Temperature.csv contains the temperature time series of France
the annual energy consumption of the larger panel of customers) used to cluster the inputs
and to generate the weighted average time series of the clusters are given in Annual_energy_weights.csv
while the file Energy_consumption_ per_unit_surface_area.csv associates the annual energy consumption with the surface area of the building
The second batch of files is related to the data generated after the clustering
The files Cluster_before_manual_reclassification.csv and Cluster_after_manual_reclassification.csv assign a cluster to each NACE class before and after the manual reclassification
the file Profils_by_clusters.csv gathers the weighted average time series of the 18 clusters
A throughout description of the clusters and an analysis of their properties is given in the document ELMAS_data_analysis.pdf
The quality of clustered data can be evaluated using either cluster- or load-specific criteria
The first kind of score was employed in the methods section to determine the optimal number of clusters to consider
the focus is on the analysis of criteria that characterise the load consumption
Averaged MAE and RMSE scores of the NACE classes w.r.t
The scores are derived from the consumption time series of the NACE classes and the load profiles of the 18 clusters
the heat-maps represent the ranking of the scores according to the extra-cluster feature: low values (i.e
blue colour) indicate the best performances
while high values correspond to low scores (i.e
the average RMSE score achieved by the NACE classes that belong to cluster 15 is the lowest when computed with the average load profiles of cluster 15
We expect scores to be the lowest for time series of NACE classes computed with the profile of the cluster they belong to; this ideal state is marked by the first diagonal
Standardised load profiles and yearly time series are considered to build these figures
we compare the variability within the clusters according to two axes: (1) the clustering strategy
and (2) the temporal resolution of the load profiles
The variability within clusters is shown in Table 5
We observe that for the three temporal resolutions analysed
the K-means-derived clustering leads to the best average standard deviation within clusters
This demonstrates that the proposed approach provides more compact clusters than those that would have been obtained from the NACE-based classification
This section discusses the applicability and the limitations of the dataset
as the initial dataset of electricity consumption was collected during 2018
the latter is free from any impacts associated with the COVID outbreak (e.g
This suggests that new practices such as teleworking are not present in the proposed load profiles
some profiles related to office work may be outdated
Potential users should be aware that the proposed profiles are climate-zone-dependent due to the temperature-sensitivity of some business sectors (e.g
through the use of electric heating or air conditioning devices)
their use should be restricted to climates similar to that of France
observations of the temperature at the national level are given
The generated load profiles are provided in the form of standardised values
and annual energy consumption associated with each NACE class
is provided to allow the user to perform de-standardisation
The areas associated with some NACE classes are also supplied for scaling purposes

This article is part of the Research TopicElectronic Patient-reported Outcomes for Patient Care ImprovementView all 11 articles
Background: This study has two primary objectives
it aims to measure the time savings achieved through the digitization of paper forms filled out by nurses in the inpatient care process
it seeks to reveal the financial savings resulting from reduced paper consumption due to the digitalization
The Health Information Management System Society (HIMSS)—Electronic Medical Record Adaption Model (EMRAM)
which makes stage-based (0–7) evaluations
serves as a tool to measure the rate of technology utilization in public hospitals in Turkey
The study is based on the HIMSS EMRAM criteria for 2018
it was accredited as Stage 6 with HIMSS EMRAM
digital and non-digital wards serve together
paper and toner savings before and after digitalization were measured
Method: A table was created in Microsoft Excel,listing the forms used by nurses in inpatient care and the time required to fill them out.The time spent for filling paper-based forms and digital-based forms was measured in randomly selected wards
Result: The analysis showed that digital forms saved more time
filling out the patient history form took 45 min when using paper
compared to 12 min in digital environment
Approximately 27% time savings are achieved only for the patient history form
The total time savings delivered by digitalization for 1,153 inpatients during the year were found as 117 care days
and the savings on total paper consumption was 41.289 pages
the total time savings from digitalization was 117 care days and the total paper consumption savings was 41,289 pages
in 4 wards with a total bed capacity of 25
annual paper savings of $1,705.86 and toner savings of $283,736 were achieved
Discussion: This study reveals the benefits of digitalisation in hospitals for nurses
It saves the time that nurses allocate for filling out paper forms with digitalised forms
it is a good practice example in terms of using the time allocated for form filling for patient care.When we extend this study to Turkey in general
it can be considered that the time savings achieved by nurses by digitizing inpatient forms varies between 10.8% and 13%
The number of nurses working in public hospitals in Turkey is approximately 160,000
Assuming that 60% of the nurses work in the inpatient ward
it is understood that the annual savings achieved by digitizing the forms corresponds to a range of 398–559 nursing hours
This study aims to compare the time nurses spend in inpatient services when the records (filled forms) of health care are kept in the form of hardcopies and electronic media and to measure the change in paper consumption when electronic systems are used
The purpose of usability is to produce products that are compatible with the information and usage habits of the user. To increase the usability of HIMS, the expectations of users from the product and the product itself should be designed to meet the user's needs. Thanks to the information systems designed considering the information and usage habits of the user, the effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction delivered by the product increase (12)
This study proved the benefits of digitalizing nursing forms in the literature
It is seen that questionnaire and time study are used as measurement methods in the studies
the satisfaction of nurses about solid and digital system applications can be analysed comparatively
This study determines the effect of electronic filling of nursing forms instead of paper in inpatient procedures within the scope of digital hospital studies on the duration of nursing care services and measures the cost-effectiveness of filling out the forms electronically on paper consumption
This study is based on the data of 1,153 patients hospitalized in the Internal Medicine
and Neurology ward of Bahcelievler State Hospital between January 2023 and January 2024
Two types of data were collected within the scope of the study
The first type of data recordedthe time nurses spent filling out paper forms during inpatient services
The second type of data capturedthe time nurses spent filling out the same forms using the Hospital Information Management System (HIMS)
6698 was taken into consideration during the data acquisition
and the distinctive identity data of the patient was completely removed from these data before they were used
informed consent and assent were obtained from the patients
Patients were informed about the scope of the study
This study consists of two separate analyses
the researcher used an observation method and compared the time spent by nurses in filling out paper forms vs
A Microsoft Excel file was created to collect these data
The Excel file consisted of the following columns:
• Time spent on filling out paper forms
• Time spent on filling out electronic forms
the time spent by nurses on filling out paper forms was recorded by the researcher using a stopwatch
the time spent by nurses on filling out electronic forms while entering data into the Hospital Information System (HIS) was calculated
data were collected to compare both situations
It should be noted that variations in forms used based on the ward of admission were not considered in this study
Only forms used universally across all patients were taken into account
The time required for nurses to fill out the forms (paper/electronic) was determined based on the number of days patients were admitted
and the total time spent by nurses in filling out forms was calculated accordingly
the potential paper savings from digitizing paper forms and active use of the HIS were calculated
Another Microsoft Excel file was created to collect these data
while others were repeated throughout the duration of the patient's admission
calculations were made taking into account the number of days the patient was admitted and the number of pages for forms that were repeated
The information regarding the number of days patients were admitted and the number of pages for forms was provided by the hospital management
the total paper consumption was calculated by multiplying the number of days each patient was admitted by the number of pages for forms used during that period
considering eight nursing forms included in the study
The forms filled out by the nurses contain the following patient information:
• Details of the Ward Where the Patient Is Hospitalized
The forms included in the research were selected from those filled out by the service nurses for each patient in the inpatient wards.Nurses using the digital system and nurses using the paper-based system were randomly selected
Because paper and digital forms used for inpatients throughout the hospital are the same
The completed forms for a particular age group or disease were excluded (e.g.
(2) (Itaki) Adult Patient Fall Evaluation and Follow-up Form
(5) Pressure Sore Risk Assessment Form (Norton Scale)
the researcher used the observation method and recorded the paper-based form-filling times of the nurses by observing them one-on-one on-site
A table was created in Microsoft Excel for this calculation
the names of the forms filled in and the time of filling in the forms were included in this table
Nurses' form filling times were monitored and calculated with a stopwatch
The digital-based form filling times of the nurses were calculated through the Hospital Information Management System
it was not taken into account that the forms used varied according to the ward in which the patient was hospitalised
Printed forms used for all patients were taken into consideration
the time required to fill in the forms used by the nurses (according to the electronic/paper form) was determined
Basing the patients' hospitalization period
the nurses' total time spent filling out the forms was calculated
Another data collected within the scope of this study is the paper savings achieved when electronic-based forms are used instead of paper-based forms
the number of patients hospitalized in the selected wards and the number of days of hospital stay were determined
the total paper consumption was calculated by multiplying the number of hospitalization days for each patient and the number of form pages used over the eight nursing forms used in inpatient services
Ethical approval was taken from the local ethics committee on 25/07/2018 with number 430
The approval was received from İstanbul Medipol University Health Science Ethical Committee
As seen in Table 1
the fill-out times and time differences for the nursing forms were filled out in digital media
and hardcopies were recorded starting from the patient's admission to the ward
The time spent on the forms during the observation was recorded in seconds
The time difference between digital and paper forms filled out by nurse A for one patient during the year was 13.7 min
this value was calculated as 11.67 min for nurse B
Table 2 shows the nurses' time on the forms for each patient hospitalized during the year
The nursing history form is filled out only once during admission to hospitalization
Other forms are the forms that are used repetitively every day during the hospitalization of the patient
The nurse observation form includes vital sign measurements repeated three times a day
The recurrence time was also considered when calculating the times spent to record the nursing observation form on paper and digitally
and the time spent for the recording process was calculated by multiplication by 3
Comparison of time spent by nursing forms in seconds
the savings on time resulting from the conversion of nursing forms of 1,153 hospitalized patients from hardcopy forms to digital forms are analyzed by nurses
the time difference for nurse A to fill out the the patient's account of their medical history form in hardcopy and digital forms is 175 s
Considering that the patient's account of their medical history form is filled out only once for each patient
the savings on time provided by Nurse A were multiplied by the total number of inpatients
and the total time savings during the year was determined as 201,775 s
(1) 400–225 = 175 (Time difference when filling out hardcopy forms and digital forms)
(2) 175 × 1,153 = 201,775 s (Time difference multiplied by the total number of inpatients)
(3) 201,175/60 = 336 min (Converted from seconds to minutes)
(4) 336/60 = 56 h (Converted from minutes to hours)
(5) 56/8 = 7 days (Total working hours were determined as 8 h and regarded as 1 day
The total day savings were determined by dividing the total hours by 8)
The same table indicates the savings on time achieved by switching the repetitive nursing forms used during the hospitalization from hardcopy to digital
the times for completion of 7 forms mentioned above in hardcopy form and digital form by Nurse A are given in the previous table
Considering that other forms are repetitively used every day during the hospitalization
the total time savings achieved by nurse A during the year were multiplied by the total number of care days
(1) 980–333 = 647 (Time difference for seven forms when filling out in hardcopy and digital formats)
(2) 647 × 5,569 = 3,603.143 s (Time difference multiplied by the total number of care days)
(3) 3,603,143/60 = 60,052 (Converted from seconds to minutes)
(4) 60,052/60 = 1,000 (Converted from minutes to hours)
The patient's account of their medical history form given in Table 4
which is filled out during the admission of the patient to any of the Internal Medicine
which are utilized for daily follow-up after admission and repetitively used at certain intervals
Number of forms used and number of their pages
Table 5 gives a total of 5,569 days of care provided for 1,153 hospitalized patients between January 2023 and January 2024
The number of pages in the nursing the patient's account of their medical history form
which was filled out and was not repetitively used during hospitalization
was found to be 2,306 pages when multiplied by the total number of care days
The total number of pages of the seven forms
which were repetitively used daily during hospitalization
was found to be 38,983 pages when multiplied by the number of days of care
it was determined that the total number of papers consumed for 1 year was 41,289 for 1,153 patients
it is provided that the total amount of reams (each ream contains 500 pages) consumed for 1 year is 82.57 for 1,153 patients
Table 5 shows that 25.80 packs of toners were used in total
considering that one pack of toner can be used for 1,600 pages
The information obtained from technology stores determined the average price of a 2,500-page A4 Paper box as 21,06$. Table 5 shows that the total annual paper cost for 1,153 patients is 1,705.86$
Based on the information obtained from technology stores, the cost of a pack of toner, which can be used for 1,600 pages, is 103.07$. Table 5 shows that the total annual cost of toners for 1,153 patients is 2,837.36$
It was found that nurse A spent 20% of her 8-h shift filling out hardcopy forms
we see that nurse A spent 6.18 min on the digital forms she filled out for one patient
It was determined that nurse B spent 7% of her 8-h shift filling out a digital form
it was established that nurse A saved 13% on time spent filling out forms after digitalization
When making the same calculations for other nurses
it was determined that nurse B saved 11% on the same time
followed by nurse C with 11% and nurse D with 10.8%
Rate of total working hours saved based on nurses after digitization
it is seen that the total rate of savings in an 8-h working period ranges between 10.8% and 13%
Considering the cost of paper consumption derived from our study for 25 beds
it is possible to note that a paper cost savings of approximately 533,287.18$ per year will be achieved in a service offering with 135,340 beds if we build a projection throughout Turkey
The literature includes few studies that measure the effect of using electronic health records on time. In a study by Poissant et al., the effect of using electronic health records on the time efficiency of physicians and nurses was investigated. Based on the study, which examined and compiled a total of 23 publications, it was observed that using electronic health records in nursing work processes allows nurses to save time by 23.5% (23)
Similar results were derived in our study based on a total of 5,569 care days of 1,153 patients hospitalized in the Internal Medicine
and Neurology wards at Istanbul Bahcelievler State Hospital between January 2023 and January 2024
In the process that started with the patient admission to the ward
the routine procedures fulfilled by the nurses were followed
and the forms used as a standard for each patient were reviewed individually
The forms filled out in hardcopy format before the digitalization process were also reviewed in the electronic environment after digitalization
The electronic and manual fill-out times of the forms were observed upon the researcher's involvement in the environment of the researched subject
the times required to fill out the forms electronically and manually were determined
Upon the observational measurement conducted with four ward nurses
the savings on time delivered for 1 year regarding the given forms were calculated as 117 working days (1 day was calculated as 8 h)
The four wards we examined have a total of 25 beds
the results of our study based on 5,569 care days of 1,153 patients demonstrated that 1.76 nurses were saved after digitalization
Patient loyalty can be evaluated as a continuation of this study
Satisfaction with the patient care process carried out with paper forms and satisfaction with the patient care process carried out with digital forms can be compared
a new contribution to the literature will be provided
It is a fact that data that are not recorded and analysed electronically do not contribute to any academic research
producing academic studies from data on paper takes a lot of time and requires labour force
Information kept on paper cannot become data and cannot be analysed
Considering that a total of 41,289 pages of paper is consumed in 1 year for 1,153 hospitalised patients
retrospective examination and analysis of these documents for academic studies is a heavy burden
digitalisation is very important not only in terms of patient care but also financially
The use of paper creates a financial burden when evaluated on a country basis
Digitalisation is a measurement tool especially for the health ministries and policy makers of countries
the time allocated to the health care process of patients increases and the potential of patients to access health outcomes increases
It is not thought that the result may change when spread over a longer period
hospitals in Turkey still use a dual system
While some hospitals have completely switched to the digital system
some hospitals use both the raw digital system and the paper system together
The forms used in hospitals in Turkey are determined by the Ministry of Health
the same forms are used in public hospitals throughout the country
it makes it easier to generalise across the country
a limitation of the study is the size of the hospital
Hospital size is determined depending on the number of beds
the number of forms used in a hospital with a high number of beds will increase and financial calculations will be different
the use of paper forms and digital forms according to hospital size can be discussed comparatively
considering the potential benefits of digitalisation in healthcare institutions for all stakeholders
the concept of digital hospital should be expanded and all processes should be carried out electronically
Future research could explore the long-term effects of digitalization on patient outcomes
comparative studies across different healthcare systems or countries could provide valuable insights into the scalability and generalizability of digital hospital initiatives

Arsenal, Dortmund and Inter chasing Palmeiras’ 19-year-old talent Luighi
Arsenal lead race to sign Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Gittens for €50-60m
Eljif Elmas has completed a loan move from RB Leipzig to Torino
The 25-year-old midfielder joins the Serie A club until the end of the season
with an option to make the transfer permanent in June
Elmas moved to Leipzig from Napoli in late 2023 for €23 million
but struggled to secure a key role in the German side
where he had four successful seasons with Napoli between 2019 and 2023
He has been a key player for the national team since 2017
his creativity and versatility could prove crucial in the second half of the season
Nogomania.com is a premier destination for football enthusiasts
delivering fresh and in-depth content from the heart of the Ex-Yu region's football scene
RB Leipzig have agreed a deal worth €25million (£21.5m, $27.4m) for Napoli midfielder Eljif Elmas
has also agreed personal terms with Leipzig on a contract until the summer of 2028
He is expected to travel and complete the deal ahead of the January transfer window
who spoke on the condition of anonymity as they were not authorised to discuss matters
believe talks were held over an initial €24m paid upfront with €1m in potential add-ons
Leipzig are keen to strengthen their squad in the January transfer window and they had been one of several clubs tracking Granada winger Bryan Zaragoza
who has since agreed a deal to join Bayern Munich
Several comings and goings are likely at Leipzig in January, with Fabio Carvalho set to rejoin parent club Liverpool before being loaned out once again
Carvalho has started just one Bundesliga match this season and has played just 152 minutes of league action
Elmas played 36 of Napoli’s 38 Serie A matches last season as they ended their 23-year wait to win the title
although he has started just four games across the side’s league and Champions League campaign to date
Elmas has scored 12 goals in 52 international caps for North Macedonia and has netted 19 times in 185 appearances for Napoli
RB Leipzig and the 15 minutes the drums fell silent
Elif Elmas will play the second half-season in Serie A after his club Leipzig accepted the loan offer from Torino
The Macedonian attacking midfielder had a bad adventure in the Bundesliga side since his arrival from Napoli exactly a year ago
He never managed to find himself there and played only 22 matches
He didn’t score a goal and assisted only once
The move to Torino was the right thing to do
Elmas spent 4,5 years in Napoli and is used to play in Italy
Torino will have him on loan until the end of the current season
but with an option to buy his contract from Leipzig
A grande richiesta, Back to Italy! 🇲🇰 pic.twitter.com/NbOj2DreNL

Elmas decided to wear the number 11 in his new club
He already passed the medical exams and will have his debut for Torino on February 9 when Torino will host Genoa in Serie A
Always forza Toro!” – were Elma’s first words to the Torino fans
Eljif ci teneva a salutarvi! 👋 pic.twitter.com/uqQvGbqsVB

Al Hilal targeting Bruno Fernandes: Will Ratcliffe accept €120 million for Manchester United’s star?
After being left out of the squad by coach Marco Rose for technical reasons in a match against Werder Bremen
it seems increasingly likely that Elmas will need to find a new club during the January transfer window
Newcastle United has made an offer to bring the midfielder to the Premier League
Elmas’s time in the Bundesliga has been far from ideal
Signed by Leipzig for approximately €25 million in January last year
he played only 255 minutes in the league during his first season
This campaign has been equally challenging
with Elmas making just six appearances across all competitions (Bundesliga
Elmas boasts a solid track record at the international level
has made 65 appearances and scored 13 goals for North Macedonia’s senior national team
where he impressed before moving to Germany
While Newcastle is keen to bring Elmas to England
Lazio may provide a tempting alternative with a potential return to Serie A
The January transfer window will likely determine the next step for the talented midfielder
Il Parma takes the field with a 4-3-3 with Suzuki in goal, Delprato, Vogliacco, Valenti and Valeri in defence, Keita, Estevez and Sohm in midfield and Almqvist, Bonny and Cancellieri in attack. vanilla responds with a 4-2-3-1 composed of Milinkovic-Savic between the posts, Walukiewicz, Coco, Maripan and Biraghi making up the defensive line, Casadei and Ricci in midfield and Lazaro, Vlasic and Elmas behind Che Adams, the lone striker.
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis confirmed Eljif Elmas’ departure, stating, “We have finalized Elmas’ transfer – his hunger for playtime led to our decision to let him go.” RB Leipzig will secure Elmas’ services in the upcoming winter for a fee of €25 million rising to nearly €30 million with add-ons, a deal benefiting all parties involved. Since arriving from Fenerbahçe at just 19 in 2019, Elmas has been a crucial component of Napoli’s squad.
If ‘versatile’ was a player, it would be Eljif Elmas. Over his four and a half years at Napoli, the North Macedonian played in seven different positions, every midfield role, wingback, out-and-out winger, and even spearheading Napoli’s attack as the striker in a pivotal Champions League quarterfinal. His exceptional skill set and even more impressive engine allowed him to excel no matter where he is playing on the pitch. Perhaps this fuelled his ambition for a fresh challenge.
Because of his versatility, he never really secured a starting role at the club. Often the first substitute, his ability to affect the game in many ways from anywhere on the pitch made him a valuable asset for Napoli, who would have preferred to retain him. Yet, his desire for more playing time and a secure starting position at Leipzig is understandable, presenting an ideal opportunity for him.
Beyond being a versatile player, Eljif Elmas embodies the qualities of a team’s creative nucleus. His dynamic dribbling, brilliant first touch, and precision in the final third make him a potent force. Although Elmas is primarily a creative player, he also contributed some very important goals for Napoli in their title-winning campaign last season.
RB Leipzig is an exciting team with a strong possession-based, dynamic attacking style. They are among the top teams in goal scoring, least goals conceded and big chances created in the league. Leipzig also maintains possession at 57.8% on average, which is perfect for Elmas who grows the more touches he has.
Elmas’ greatest asset lies in his directness and ability to beat defenders with ease, traits that align seamlessly with a team like Leipzig, especially in a league as fast-paced and open as the Bundesliga. His suitability for both the team and league suggests a seamless transition, meaning he can be a significant player for Leipzig for years to come.
After a legendary nine-year run that saw him score 71 goals and 68 assists in 325 appearances, Emil Forsberg will depart Leipzig in January for the New York Red Bulls. Elmas certainly has big shoes to fill as he looks to replace the Swedish playmaker, but at 24, he’s more than capable of providing versatility and attacking output to a Leipzig squad that is looking to go deep in the UEFA Champions League and finish in the Bundesliga’s top four for a sixth straight season.

What is IPL Super Sixes competition and how it is played?
The 21-year-old Napoli midfielder is an integral part of the North Macedonia side playing in their first major tournament
This article is part of the Guardian’s Euro 2020 Experts’ Network
a cooperation between some of the best media organisations from the 24 countries who qualified
theguardian.com is running previews from two countries each day in the run-up to the tournament kicking off on 11 June
At the turn of this century Macedonia entered a newly turbulent era
A small country in the heart of the Balkans
it had been a target of various outside interests throughout history
As tensions grew between Macedonians and Albanians
few people in the country would have had time to think about football
and few would have guessed that those years of war would see the birth of the nation’s first football “diamond”
Read moreThrough those unpredictable years Elif grew up with a love of football allied to a desire to help his father with the family business
Not many people know that Elif can make the most beautiful traditional Macedonian cakes
he almost certainly would have continued the family tradition in the sweet shop
He started playing football aged seven in the neighbourhood club Fenerbahçe Tefejuz
11 years later he would sign for the Turkish giants Fenerbahçe
But before that he began to learn his trade at a football school run by Jovce Dzipunov
one of North Macedonia’s most famous players
Angelovski approached Elmas’s family and it was agreed the then 12-year-old would play for Rabotnicki’s youth teams
Fast-forward three years and the ability of the 15-year-old Elmas attracted the attention of Heerenveen in the Netherlands
and a preliminary contract was agreed for Elmas’s signature when he turned 18
“There was some strange kind of magic in him,” Angelovski says
an X-factor at such young age that attracted everyone
a master of assists and a phenomenal finish.”
View image in fullscreenElif Elmas in action for Napoli against Crotone in April 2020
Photograph: Franco Romano/NurPhoto/ShutterstockElmas’s development accelerated under Angelovski’s tutelage
Elmas made his debut for Rabotnicki’s first team in the domestic top flight
featuring 33 appearances with six goals and seven assists
Elmas’s gem-like quality was becoming increasingly apparent and his footballing destiny was changing
the move to the Netherlands never happened
Elmas was the youngest player by far in Macedonia’s squad that travelled to the Under-21 tournament in Poland and he played in all three matches as they lost to Spain and Portugal and drew 2-2 with Serbia
Elmas was approached by Turkey’s head coach
who asked the young player to declare for that country instead
Elmas turned down Terim’s offer and that decision seemed to be justified soon after the Under-21 tournament when Angelovski called him up to the senior squad for a World Cup qualifier against Spain in Skopje
Borussia Dortmund and Fenerbahçe had entered the race to sign him
with Rabotnicki paid €300,000 in compensation
the first Macedonian basketballer to play in the NBA and then with Fenerbahçe
Elmas means “diamond” in Turkish and Fenerbahçe had their precious signing
Read moreNapoli paid a fee of €16m to Fenerbahce
agreeing an annual salary of €1.3m with Elmas
Via a play-off from the fourth tier of the inaugural Nations League
their first qualification for a major tournament
and Elmas has become an indispensable part of the national team
At the end of March, Elmas scored the most important goal in his career. Macedonia traveled to Germany for a World Cup qualifer, sensationally winning 2-1 in Duisburg for one of the biggest upsets in the history of the German football – perhaps in the history of international football
“To be a scorer against the great Germany and to win this match
This is a huge motive before the beginning of the Euro 2020”
Perhaps the 21-year-old Elmas is a long way from reaching the heights of Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi
But this summer he will have the perfect stage to demonstrate his quality against the elite of European football
with Macedonia pitted against the Netherlands
those opponents will know much more about the diamond of North Macedonia
