Atletico appealed against the punishment to FIFA, and world football’s governing body has cleared Trippier to play while its appeal committee considers the matter. In the written reasons explaining its independent regulatory commission’s decision, which the FA published on Tuesday, it was revealed Trippier told a friend,...

Club director hints at Spurs interest in 26-yr-old, Londoners have offered a contract until 2025
Tottenham have been linked with the RB Leipzig midfielder Marcel Sabitzer recently and the German club have now hinted that the Premier League side’s interest in the 26-year-old is genuine. According to Standard Sport, a move for Marcel Sabitzer would depend on Dele Alli’s future at Tottenham. The 24-year-old England international has fallen down the pecking order at the London club and he has been linked with a move away from Tottenham in January. If Alli decides to move on, Sabitzer could prove to be a superb alternative. When asked about Tottenham’s interest in the player, RB Leipzig’s sporting director Markus Krosche said: “As I said, he has made a great development. It goes without saying that other clubs also notice this.” The 26-year-old midfielder will add defensive cover, drive an...
Manchester United Join Race For Arsenal and Tottenham Target
Manchester United are ready to make a move for Norwich City defender Max Aarons, according to the Express. Despite Norwich’s relegation last season, Aarons emerged as one of the brightest young talents in the league, attracting the attention of some of the world’s biggest clubs. Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal were among the clubs reportedly eyeing up the Englishman.

He has since continued to impress, helping guide Norwich to the top of the Championship after 22 games. The Express claim that Manchester United have identified the 20-year-old as a target in the upcoming January transfer window to provide competition for former Cry...
Report: PSG to back Pochettino’s move for £50m EPL star after Spurs failed to
According to The Sun, erstwhile manager Mauricio Pochettino is expected to take over at Paris Saint-Germain following the dismissal of Thomas Tuchel, and he will be given a huge war chest to spend straightaway. As a result, Crystal Palace fear that the Argentine will come calling again for the services of Wilfried Zaha after failing with several bids during his time at North London. Pochettino was keen to bolster his attack with the addition of the Ivory Coast international, but chairman Daniel Levy didn’t back him enough in the transfer market due to Palace’s asking price. Pochettino was left frustrated last July, claiming his job title should be changed from manager to head coach as he had no influence over Tottenham’s transfer activity. However, that is expected to change at PSG and he ...
Mourinho’s 15-word reaction to uncertainty surrounding Spurs v Fulham clash
Tottenham Hotspur host Fulham this evening and will look to bounce back from weekend’s disappointing draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Spurs are without a win in four Premier League games, losing twice and drawing twice, and that has seen them drop from first place to seventh. They are now six points off leaders Liverpool and will be keen to pick up all three points against a Fulham side that have won just twice in the league campaign this term. Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho and his players are ready for the game, but it remains to be seen if it will still go ahead. There has been a Covid-19 outbreak at the west London club, and that has put the fixture in doubt. According to The Athletic, a number of people at the club have tested positive to the coronavirus, with manager Scott Parker missi...
Marcus Rashford tames Wolves to send Manchester United into second
Marcus Rashford’s deflected strike deep into stoppage time moved Manchester United to within two points of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Wolves on Tuesday. United laboured for long spells against a youthful Wolves side, but got a huge slice of fortune in the 93rd minute when Rashford’s shot hit Romain Saiss to leave Rui Patricio helpless. Victory takes Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men up to second and continues an excellent run of 23 points from the last possible 27 to mount an unlikely title challenge after a slow start to the season. Despite enjoying one more day’s rest amid the packed festive schedule than their opponents, Solskjaer made six changes from the side that drew 2-2 at Leicester on Boxing Day. Edinson Cavani made just his second Premier League start...

Where Next For Diego Costa?
After an underwhelming third spell at Atletico Madrid, Diego Costa is back on the market as a free agent. One of football’s most divisive characters, the forward has been cherished for his goalscoring ability, as well as reviled for his antics on the pitch. The Spaniard was once one of the most feared strikers in the world, hitting the 20-goal mark on two occasions as he won two Premier League titles at Chelsea. However, his best days seem far behind him, scoring just 12 league goals in 61 appearances since returning to Atletico Madrid. Furthermore, the 32-year-old comes with a lot of baggage. His salary was an estimated €300k per week, he has a concerning injury record, and has missed several games in his career through suspension. But, if he can get back to his best, then he should ...
Tottenham Hotspur Have 5 Games to Save Their Title Challenge
Cast your mind back three weeks: Tottenham Hotspur comfortably saw off bitter rivals Arsenal, taking them to the top of the Premier League. Harry Kane and Heung-min Son were once again the superstars, and Jose Mourinho was back at the top of his game. The Lilywhites were flying. Fast forward to the present day, and the picture looks very different now. Four games without victory, four drab performances, and four places dropped. The Mourinho masterclasses are starting to look like flukes, and the Spurs title shouts are beginning to seem very reactionary. Another frustrating result for Mourinho Sunday’s draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers really summed up Spurs’ recent form. After taking an early lead through some pretty poor goalkeeping, Tottenham adopted a defensive strategy, showing litt...
The Athletic: Jose Mourinho would like a backup for 25-yr-old Spurs star in January
Tottenham are unlikely to spend during the January transfer window despite the fact that Jose Mourinho is looking to add more depth to his midfield. David Ornstein from the Athletic claims that Daniel Levy is unlikely to spend at all during the winter transfer window because the money is probably not there after the summer outlay. The reputed journalist also revealed that 24-year-old England international Dele Alli is keen on a permanent exit from the club and the likes of Paris Saint-Germain are keen on the midfielder. Apparently, Mauricio Pochettino is in line to take over at the French club and it will be interesting to see if he pursues a reunion with Alli. Dele Alli has fallen down the pecking order under Jose Mourinho and it will be interesting to see if he can regain his first-team ...

Tottenham are interested in signing the RB Leipzig midfielder Marcel Sabitzer. According to journalist Ekrem Konur, the Premier League club have already begun talks to sign the Austrian midfielder. Apparently, Tottenham have offered a player plus cash for Marcel Sabitzer.

The 26-year-old can play in a number of positions and his versatility will be an added bonus for Tottenham. Martial Sabitzer can operate as a defensive midfielder, a central midfielder, an attacking midfielder and he can ...
