‘Outstanding’: Ryan Mason claims Spurs have a ‘world class’ player in their ranks
Ryan Mason has suggested that Gareth Bale is a ‘world class’ player. Bale scored a hat-trick on Sunday as Tottenham Hotspur edged past Sheffield United 4-0 in the Premier League. Mason, who has now picked up two wins out of two in the league, has hailed Bale as a world-class player after the match. Spurs moved to fifth in the league with that win after protests at Old Trafford prevented the clash between Manchester United and Liverpool. However, the focus shifts back to Bale who scored a fantastic hat-trick. He opened the scoring in the first half with a neat dink over Aaron Ramsdale. He added two more in the second half, with Serge Aurier providing the assist for his third goal. Son Heung-Min scored the fourth goal of the match to earn all three points for the home side. B...

Sheffield United midfielder Sander Berge is reportedly wanted by a host of Premier League clubs. According to reports from The Athletic, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa are closely following the situation of Berge. Premier League outfit Liverpool are also interested in securing the services of the 23-year-old midfielder, with Klopp being a ‘confirmed fan’ of the player. Klopp was so impressed with him that he once sought the Norwegian out after Liverpool had beaten Genk in the Champions League. Berge, who joined Sheffield United for a reported fee of £22m, has struggled with fitness problems. He has made just 12 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League this season, managing one goal and one assist for the Blades. With Sheffield being relegated,...
‘He’ll get his move’: Popular pundit makes bold transfer claim about Tottenham player
Popular football pundit Danny Murphy is convinced that Harry Kane will leave Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window. It has been widely suggested that Kane could look to leave Spurs in the summer if they fail to secure a Premier League top-four position. The Carabao Cup final defeat against Manchester City has once again fueled the rumours of Kane potentially leaving Spurs in the summer. Murphy believes that the likes of Kane of Erling Haaland are destined for Manchester clubs but it is not clear which one of them will join City and who will move to United. The talkSPORT pundit feels that Kane should be available for around £100m this summer. The north London club will be desperate to keep their talisman striker with them for the next season, but Murphy feels Danie...
‘Nobody better than him’: Harry Redknapp has urged Spurs to keep ‘fantastic’ player
Harry Redknapp has suggested that Tottenham ‘have to keep’ Harry Kane with them next season. There are suggestions that Kane could look to leave Spurs in the summer transfer window if they fail to secure a Premier League top-four finish this term. The 27-year-old striker is wanted by several heavyweight clubs, but Spurs chairman Daniel Levy won’t sell him to a rival Premier League club. Kane has distanced himself from such rumours, but he has suggested that he will think about his future after the European Championships. The England striker started for Spurs in the 1-0 Carabao Cup defeat against Manchester City on Sunday. The lack of silverware in his career could be a major factor as to why he could leave Spurs this summer. However, the situation is far more complex. Kane still...
‘Most dangerous’: Many Spurs fans rave about star who was their ‘best player’ vs Man City
Manchester City won the League Cup for a record-equalling fourth time in succession after beating Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 on Sunday. A number of Tottenham fans have taken to Twitter to discuss Lucas Moura’s display against Pep Guardiola’s side. Aymeric Laporte scored the only goal in the closing stages of the match to lead the club to the trophy. Many Spurs fans were impressed with the Brazilian’s performance, with some even claiming he was their best player. City were clearly the better sides of the two. However, after the break Spurs did look a lot more threatening going forward, especially on the counter-attack. Lucas was superb and did cause a lot of problems. He was replaced by Gareth Bale in the 67th minute, and many fans felt that was a wrong decision taken by Ryan Mason. Harry ...
Harry Kane to decide on Tottenham future
Embattled Harry Kane is set to decide on his Tottenham Hotspur’s future. The England and Tottenham star is quite rightly regarded as one of the best forwards in English football. But he remains trophyless in his career so far, with the latest opportunity passing him and Spurs by in a 1-0 defeat against Manchester City in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final. Kane’s fitness was a huge topic of conversation ahead of the Wembley showdown after he picked up an ankle injury in a 2-2 draw at Everton last weekend. Despite that Kane was included in interim boss Ryan Mason’s starting XI – but like the rest of his Spurs teammates failed to have any sort of impact on proceedings. Remarkably, Kane didn’t attempt a shot or create a single chance for Spurs in Sunday’s final. That’s the first time he’s done neithe...

The project collapsed after it came under massive pressure from fans, politicians, football officials and even the British royals. Founder and Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli told Reuters he was reluctantly calling time on the new league. This was after six English clubs withdrew on Tuesday, with Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid following suit and AC Milan indicating they would too. “The voices and the concerns of fans around the world have clearly been expressed about the Super League, and AC Milan must be sensitive to the voice of those who love this wonderful sport,” the Italian club said in a statement.
