Report: Tottenham Hotspur keen on Bayern Munich centre-back Jerome Boateng
According to BILD (via football.london), Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Bayern Munich centre-back Jerome Boateng as head coach Jose Mourinho looks to further bolster his backline. The Germany international has just seven months left on his current contract at the Allianz Arena, and it doesn’t appear that a renewal is on the cards. Boateng is free to sign on a pre-contract in the January transfer window with clubs outside of Germany, and Spurs are keeping tabs on his situation. The 32-year-old has been on the radar of Tottenham since 2017 when Mauricio Pochettino was the club’s manager, and the Argentine’s successor in the dugout could be the one to finally land him. Arsenal are also keeping tabs on Boateng, and more suitors will definitely emerge should it become clear that Ba...
Harry Kane believes Tottenham can win the Premier League
Tottenham striker Harry Kane believes that the London club have the quality to win the Premier League title this season. The England international claims that it is unlikely to be a two-horse title race like the last season and Spurs could make their mark this year. Kane said via Mirror: “When you look at the ability of our squad, you would definitely say we’ve got enough to win a title. “But I’d also say we’ve been close over the last four, five years but just haven’t quite got over the line. So it’s not as easy as just having a good squad and winning a few games to challenge for the title. “This is a season where I don’t think one team’s going to run away with it like Liverpool did last year. So there are going to be opportunities for other teams to put good runs together and get ri...
Julian Nagelsmann on Man United’s list of potential Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replacements
RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann is reportedly on Manchester United’s list of potential replacements for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, amid the mounting pressure regarding the Norwegian’s future at Old Trafford. The current United boss has overseen a shaky start to the new season for United, with his side currently 15th in the table having won just two of their opening six Premier League fixtures. The Red Devils had appeared to have turned things around after the international break, with a thumping win over Newcastle United, as well as impressive Champions League victories over Paris Saint-Germain and Leipzig quietening the doubters somewhat. That all changed over the past week, however, with United putting in another drab performance at home in the 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at the weekend, before t...
Premier League Match Preview, Team News and Predicted Line-ups: West Bromwich Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur will look to secure their fifth Premier League victory of 2020-21 when they visit West Bromwich Albion tomorrow, and a win will see them move to the top of the top-flight table temporarily. The Baggies are without a win in seven league games since returning to the EPL, drawing thrice and losing the other four, and they will be keen to get something against Spur. Jose Mourinho’s side had to grind out wins in their last two league games against Brighton and Burnley, and West Brom will fancy their chances of upsetting them. The chance to be league leaders heading into the international break could motivate Tottenham and give them much-needed belief that they could challenge for the title even though it’s early days, and that’s enough incentive on its own. Slaven Bilic’s side...
Sergio Reguilon says Gareth Bale very happy at Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur left-back Sergio Reguilon has told Cadena SER that Gareth Bale is very happy at the club. Reguilon has said that he has noticed that Bale is different at Tottenham, with the Wales international having returned to the North London club after seven years. The 31-year-old joined Spanish and European giants Real Madrid from Spurs in the summer of 2013. Bale won La Liga twice and the Champions League on four occasions, but the winger had injury problems last season and could not get into Zinedine Zidane’s starting lineup when he was fit. The winger, who was criticised a lot by the Spanish media, returned to Spurs on a loan deal from Madrid in the summer of 2020. Reguilon also moved to Tottenham from Madrid, signing a five-year contract with the Premier League club after spendi...
Tottenham ready to offer Son Heung-Min £200,000 a week
Tottenham owner Joe Lewis has apparently approved a bumper new deal for Son Heung-Min. The 28-year-old has been in red hot form this season and it is hardly a surprise the Londoners are doing all they can to tie him down to a long term deal. Son is one of the best players in the Premier League and he will be crucial to Tottenham’s quest for silverware this season and beyond. The South Korean has scored 10 goals in all competitions so far and if he continues to score at this level, this could be the most productive season of his career so far. Son has picked up 4 assists as well. Son has always been a superb creator and he seems to have improved on his goalscoring this season. The South Korean had goals in his game but he was never this prolific. He averaged around 18-21 goals in his last f...
Report: Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur keen on Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic
According to Calciomercato.it, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are both keeping tabs on Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic and were keen on him during the summer transfer window. The Premier League duo want to strengthen at the back and have been impressed with the performances of the Serbian international in the Serie A. Milenkovic is also on the radar of AC Milan and Spanish heavyweights Atletico Madrid due to his quality, while West Ham United came close to signing him during the summer transfer window. As reported by talkSPORT’s Jim White, the Hammers pulled out of the deal after Fiorentina asked for an initial £25 million and another £10 million in add-ons. West Ham weren’t keen on meeting their demands, and that could be good news for both the Red Devils and Spurs. Ole Gun...
Mauricio Pochettino opens door to Premier League return
Mauricio Pochettino says he is ready to return to management, almost a year after he was sacked by Tottenham. The Argentine’s enthusiasm will no doubt intensify speculation linking him with replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as manager of Manchester United. Pressure has begun to mount on Solskjaer at Old Trafford in recent months, with United currently 15th in the Premier League table. After taking Spurs to the Champions League final, Pochettino has been linked with a number of top jobs including those at Real Madrid, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain. However, after six years in England, Pochettino seems keen to return to the Premier League. “I discovered an amazing people in this country, an amazing culture. I am in love,” Pochettino said on Sky Sports. “I was always ready to be involved in t...
Top 5 signings that have impressed so far
The transfer window saw some very big signings arrive in the Premier League. Whilst some have yet to settle in England, let’s take a look at those who have hit the ground running. There is no doubt that the signing of the Columbian superstar from Real Madrid was a huge coup for Everton. The 29-year-old had fallen out of favour at Real Madrid so he decided to link up with Ancelotti for the third time in his career. The signing was met with both excitement and scepticism by the footballing world. His talent was obvious but could he make it in the Premier League? Well, James Rodriguez has answered that one quite clearly. The midfielder has experienced an incredible start at Everton, scoring 3 and assisting 4 in 7 games. His influence spreads further than just some goals, as he has propelled E...
Jan Vertonghen thinks Pochettino could be interested in joining Manchester United
Former Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen has claimed that Mauricio Pochettino will be impatient about getting back to management again. The Argentine manager has been out of work for a while now and the Belgian defender reckons that he might be keen on returning to the Premier League if the top clubs come calling. Jan Vertonghen added that there are probably two or three clubs that can convince Pochettino to return to the Premier League and it will be interesting to see where the Argentine ends up. He said to Mirror: “I think the English league suits him very well as he’s a manager that prioritises fitness levels and the physicality of the game. “I think managing in the Premier League is probably the best thing he can do. “He will always want to coach a big team I guess, so you have t...
Son Heung-Min signs up with the same agency as that of Jose Mourinho amid rumours of a new deal
Tottenham attacker Son Heung-Min is expected to sign a new deal with the London club and the player has now signed up with the Hollywood talent agency CAA Base. According to reports, the same agency represents Jose Mourinho. However, the Tottenham manager is adamant that Son’s decision to sign up with the same agency won’t influence his decision to sign a contract at Tottenham. Mourinho said (via Star): “That is not my job, I don’t care about who represents players, I just care about what players give me on the pitch and nothing to do with that. “An impact on Sonny’s future, I don’t know. I can say at a commercial level it will be a big impact because it is a worldwide, very, very important agency. “In relation to his contract, I am not worried about it, he has three years of contract...
