Arsenal midfielder claims Spurs star is the best player in the EPL
Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi is currently on a season-long loan with Bundesliga outfit Hertha Berlin, but it appears that he still keeps tabs on the Premier League. The Frenchman has named Tottenham Hotspur winger Heung-Min Son as the best player in the English top-flight right now, and that might not have done his relationship with the Gunners fan base any good. Guendouzi fell out with manager Mikel Arteta last term, and while he has impressed since joining Hertha, it remains to be seen whether a return to North London is on the cards. The 21-year-old is rarely economical with the truth, and he did not seem to care about Arsenal’s rivalry with Spurs in a recent interview. Guendouzi was asked who he thinks the best player in the Premier League at the moment is, and while he mentione...
The best and worst transfers between Premier League rivals
Title contenders often follow a golden rule in the transfer market: don’t sell to direct rivals. However, there are a fair few occasions where this rule hasn’t been followed. Sometimes the player wanted to leave; other times the club received an offer they couldn’t refuse. Some of these players went on to be superstars at their new clubs, bringing in almost instant success. Others were…well…a bit rubbish. In no particular order – here we go: Carlos Tevez (Manchester United to Manchester City, £25m) 1/2 OTD in 2009 Carlos Tevez signed for Manchester City.

Tottenham man sends three-word message ahead of FA Cup clash vs Everton
Tottenham Hotspur will face Everton in a mouth-watering FA Cup tie at Goodison Park on Wednesday night. Ahead of the match, Spurs winger Gareth Bale has posted a message for his fans on social networking site Instagram. Bale, who joined Spurs in the summer transfer window on loan from Real Madrid, has really struggled to make an impact for the north London club this season. The Welshman could get a chance to impress Jose Mourinho against the Toffees with the Spurs boss unlikely to start with both Erik Lamela and Lucas Moura for this game. The 31-year-old has managed only two starts in the Premier League this season. However, he has started six Europa League games and will be hoping to be in the starting line-up against Carlo Ancelotti’s side. With game-time hard to come by for him in the l...
Forget Madrid – That ship has sailed for Tottenham star – opinion
“You’ve got Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo coming to the end of their careers. (Robert) Lewandowski is four years older than Harry – he’s got the chance to be the best player in the world.” That little nugget from Tony Cascarino on talkSPORT sparked plenty of debate across the Sportslens team. Kane has been hugely prolific during his time at Spurs, but his goals have failed to translate into any silverware for the club. Cascarino, who played for numerous clubs during his career, believes that Kane should consider moving to La Liga this summer. “He’s 28 in July and Beckham went to Real Madrid at 28 – I think he’s going to look at his team,” he said. “What has he won? The answer is nothing. He’s won lots of accolades for his individual achievements, but he was a loser in the League Cup f...

Report: Man City join Tottenham in the race for striker with 50 EPL goals
According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Manchester City are keeping tabs on Southampton striker Danny Ings ahead of a potential summer swoop. With the future of Sergio Aguero at the Etihad Stadium unresolved, the club are preparing for life without the 32-year-old, and the England international is firmly on their radar. Sportslens View Ings has been in impressive form for Southampton in recent seasons, and while they have offered him a financial package that would see him become their highest-paid player, he wants to play Champions League football and could be on his way out in the summer. Tottenham Hotspur are also keen on the 28-year-old, and with 17 months left on his current contract, the Saints could be forced to cash in on him when the next transfer window opens. With Harry Kane ...
