Arsenal to rival Tottenham Hotspur for in-demand Ligue 1 star valued at just £13m
Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have expressed interest in signing Lille defender Zeki Celik, Standard Sport claims. Celik had a superb 2020/21 season with Lille as they won the Ligue 1 title after a decade. He has two years left on his contract, but it is reported that he is open to transfer offers. Lille value the right-back at £13 million. Inter Milan have also been linked amid the uncertainty over Achraf Hakimi’s future. Sportslens view: Among the English trio, United appear the least likely destination for Celik, given Aaron Wan-Bissaka is an undisputed starter under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Both Gunners and Spurs need a regular right-back, and they could go head-to-head to land the Turkey international this summer. The Gunners look certain to part ways with Hector ...
Gary Lineker expects Manchester clubs or PSG to win Harry Kane race
Gary Lineker believes that both Manchester clubs and Paris Saint-Germain are the favourites to land Harry Kane in the summer, although he expects Daniel Levy to fight hard to keep Tottenham’s star man.

Why a return to Tottenham would not work for Pochettino or the fans
The rumours about a possible return for Mauricio Pochettino to Tottenham have not subsided, although the move is considered highly unlikely given Paris Saint-Germain’s stance, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. PSG’s position is clear – they want Pochettino to publicly state that he wants to leave. This is something they know he was loathe to do at Tottenham when he wanted to leave, and will not want to do this in Paris either. It’s a win-win for PSG – they either have a face-saving moment where the manager says he wants to leave, so they don’t have a choice but to let him go, or he stays and they recruit smartly this summer and win the league title back as well as make another run at the Champions League trophy. There have also been reports of an improved relationship between Tottenham chair...

Alexander-Arnold responded to his selection by tweeting: “Always believe in yourself. Silence the doubters.” Irritated by the inaccurate pre-announcement reports that he would drop Alexander-Arnold, Southgate insisted he never lost ...
