Elland Road-linked manager reportedly offered to Spurs & Celtic
Roma manager Paulo Fonseca has been offered to both Tottenham Hotspur and Celtic, according to The Transfer Window podcast. The Portuguese is leaving the Serie A outfit at the end of the season, with Jose Mourinho taking over. The Special One was sacked by Spurs a fortnight ago, and the north Londoners have been linked with a couple of names already. Fonseca is the latest, and he fits the bill given that chairman Daniel Levy wants a young manager who cherishes attacking football. Celtic are also looking for something similar in their next manager, and it is why Eddie Howe has been tipped as the favourite to succeed Neil Lennon. However, with the former Bournemouth yet to sign with the Hoops, Fonseca could emerge as an option although the finances involved could be an issue. Leeds Unit...
Spurs have reportedly approached 63y/o under-contract Italian boss, he has responded positively
Tottenham Hotspur have enquired about Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini as they continue their search for Jose Mourinho’s permanent replacement, according to The Transfer Window podcast. Ryan Mason has taken charge of the team on an interim basis, and while he is reportedly under consideration for the job, Spurs would ideally prefer someone with experience. While Gasperini does not fit the ‘young and dynamic’ model they are looking for, his recent achievements with Atalanta appear to have caught chairman Daniel Levy’s attention. A leading agent in Europe has informed the 63-year-old of Spurs’ interest, and he has responded positively. Gasperini plays a possession-based football, favouring the 3-4-3 formation and high-octane pressing style, and the lure of managing in the Premier League...
Premier League 2020/21: Final Four Games & Champions League qualification
The closing stages of the Premier League are fast approaching, and there isn’t much left to play for. Manchester City are one win away from wrapping up the title, while Fulham and West Bromwich Albion need to be almost perfect to stand a chance of survival. However, the race for the Champions League places is still wide open. Man City have already booked their place in next year’s competition, and Manchester United are also looking pretty secure. This leaves two remaining spots, with up to six clubs fighting to make it into the top four. Here is how each of these clubs’ run-in looks like. Leicester City Leicester are in third place going into the last four games Current position: 3rd, 63 points As of now, Leicester’s position is the most secure.

Everton boss Ancelotti has asked for the signing of 90-cap int’l ahead of the summer window
Carlo Ancelotti could move for Gareth Bale in the summer transfer window. The Everton boss has reportedly asked club bosses to secure the services of the Welsh winger. Bale, who joined Tottenham on loan from Real Madrid this summer, has endured a mixed campaign. El Chiringuito journalist Eduardo Inda has claimed the Ancelotti wants to sign Bale on a free transfer this summer, with Madrid likely to let him go. 🚨 “El BARÇA tiene un ACUERDO con GERSON, del Flamengo” EXCLUSIVA de @alfredoduro1 en #ElChiringuitoDeMega pic.twitter.com/WoOIc6YehX — El Chiringuito TV (@elchiringuitotv) May 4, 2021 He has claimed that the former Madrid boss loved the player when they were together at the Spanish club. Ancelotti signed Bale from Tottenham in the summer transfer window o...
Spurs reportedly ready to sanction summer deal that costs £12m-a-yr in wages
According to Sportsmail, Tottenham Hotspur have first refusal to re-sign Gareth Bale on another season-long loan deal from Real Madrid, and chairman Daniel Levy will offer the club’s next permanent manager the chance to do so. The Wales international bagged a hat-trick in Sunday’s 4-0 demolition of Sheffield United, taking his tally to nine Premier League goals since arriving in the summer. Bale has now scored 14 goals and assisted seven others across all competitions, and Spurs feel that a second loan deal would benefit them. While it would cost them around another £12 million in wages to have the 31-year-old for another campaign as they pay £240,000-per-week of his Madrid wages, Tottenham believe the deal makes more sense compared to the cost signing a direct replacement will incur. Spor...
Spurs reportedly believe hiring ex-star Poch said has a football brain will appeal to fans
Ryan Mason is emerging as a serious contender to become the next Tottenham Hotspur manager, according to The Mirror. The 29-year-old was put in temporary charge of the first team until the end of the season following the dismissal of Jose Mourinho a fortnight ago. While he missed out on the Carabao Cup to Manchester City at Wembley, Mason has guided Spurs to back-to-back Premier League victories since becoming interim manager, boosting their top-four chances as a result. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy wants a young manager with an attacking style of play, and there is a growing belief in the boardroom that hiring Mason will appeal to the fans. He will likely be offered a two-year deal should they decide to hand him the role permanently. Former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino tipped Mason to...
Spurs chief reportedly keen on boss Guardiola called best English manager in the world
According to Sportmail, Tottenham Hotspur technical performance director Steve Hitchen has Brighton and Hove Albion manager Graham Potter on his list of recommendations as the club’s search for a new boss continues. The 45-year-old has admirers at Spurs, and it will be interesting to see whether chairman Daniel Levy will be keen to appoint him. Hitchen has been leading the search for Jose Mourinho’s successor at the North London outfit, and he wants a young and dynamic coach with a commitment to adventurous football. Potter has been involved in a relegation battle with Brighton for the majority of this term, and it took weekend’s 2-0 win over Leeds United to all but guarantee his side’s safety. Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola described him as the best English manager in the world earlie...
Gareth Bale aims dig at Jose Mourinho after Sheffield United hat-trick
Gareth Bale has aimed a thinly-veiled dig at former Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho after his hat-trick against Sheffield United. Bale starred in the 4-0 win over the Blades on Sunday, scoring his 12th, 13th and 14th goals of the season. Son Heung-min also scored to round out an impressive win for stand-in boss Ryan Mason. Following the game, however, Bale seemingly took a dig at former boss Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese manager was sacked by Spurs last month, with Gareth Bale largely used from the bench during his tenure. Now, Bale has claimed the side are ‘playing more like the Tottenham way’ in recent weeks. “It was a great performance by the team”, Bale explained to Sky Sports. “From the first whistle, I felt we were on the front foot and got control of it and played some good footb...
‘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...
Eight changes for City, Arsenal star may miss out, Baggies winger could return
The 34th round of fixtures in the Premier League features some important matches at both ends of the EPL table. We’ll update this story with reports, results, highlights and the latest Premier League standings throughout the weekend. The action got underway on Friday evening, with Southampton and Leicester City fighting out a 1-1 draw at St Mary’s. James Ward-Prowse put the home side in front from the penalty spot, but Jonny Evans bagged an equaliser for the Foxes. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola made eight changes to his starting XI for the visit to Crystal Palace on Saturday. However, his tinkering didn’t impact the outcome as City eased to a comfortable 2-0 victory at Selhurst Park – Sergio Aguero and Ferran Torres got the goals. Pascal Gross and Danny Welbeck were on target as Br...
Spurs reportedly want 29-goal Englishman NUFC sold for £300k to replace striker
Tottenham Hotspur are keen on Brentford striker Ivan Toney and have joined the race for his signature ahead of the summer transfer window, according to Football Insider. Spurs want another striker as they are not looking to sign loanee Carlos Vinicius permanently. The Benfica man has scored 10 goals and assisted three more in 22 games across all competitions, but he has not impressed Tottenham having scored just once in nine Premier League appearances. They want Toney next summer, and the pursuit of the Brentford star does not depend on Harry Kane’s future at the club. The 25-year-old has bagged 29 goals and weighed in with 10 assists in 43 Championship appearances this term. The former Newcastle United striker scored 40 goals in 76 League One games for Peterborough United in two seasons b...
Ex-Spurs star who dubbed Kane world’s best No9 reportedly favourite to replace Mourinho
According to Football Insider, Fulham manager Scott Parker has emerged as the favourite to become Tottenham Hotspur’s next manager in recent hours. The North Londoners have found getting a replacement for Jose Mourinho hard, with three of their targets turning them down within the space of a week. Ajax boss Erik ten Hag signed a contract extension with the Eredivisie side yesterday, while Leicester City’s Brendan Rodgers has insisted that he is not keen on the job. It would take around £70 million to recruit the Northern Irishman and his backroom staff, and that has also put Spurs off. RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann was top of Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy’s list, but the 33-year-old has since agreed to replace Hansi Flick at Bayern Munich at the end of the season. It appears that S...
