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...

After a rocky start to the season, and following an insipid display in the Champions League defeat against Turkish club Istanbul Basaksehir, the patience is running out on Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Despite the fact that the United board are backing him publicly, there’s a feeling that Ole’s reign at the club could be over if the Red Devils lose against Everton this weekend as it would put the club in 17th position in the league. It seems that time is running out for Solskjaer, and United have reportedly started making alternative plans, with former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino being contacted already to replace the club legend. Pochettino – who helped Spurs build a dynasty – is out of work at the moment, and he interested in taking over as United manager...
Bayern Munich defender David Alaba has been linked with Liverpool in the recent weeks and it would be a superb signing for Jurgen Klopp’s side if they manage to pull it off. The Austrian international will be out of contract at the end of this season and signing a player of his calibre on a free transfer would be a masterstroke from the Reds. They have already signed Thiago from Bayern on a major bargain and they should do everything in their power to land Alaba now. The versatile 28-year-old can play as a centre back, left-back or a defensive midfielder. He would offer Klopp some much-needed depth in multiple defensive positions and he has the quality and experience to improve the side as well. Alaba has won almost every trophy at club level with Bayern Munich and he has nothing to prove ...
In the last decade, David Alaba has gone on to cement his place as one of the most versatile players in Europe and in Bayern Munich’s recent history. Since debuting for the Bavarians in 2010, he has won more than 20 titles at the club level among numerous other individual honours. However, all is not well between Bayern and the defender. Alaba is out of contract at the end of the season in July 2021 and is yet to agree to a new deal with the club. The relationship between the player and the club management has hit an all-time low. Set to leave Bayern? After a series of fruitless negotiations, President Herbert Hainer told the public broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk that the club had withdrawn its contract extension offer. These comments arrive after Alaba is said to have rejected a third e...
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 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...
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...
Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland has developed into one of the most sought after young attackers in world football and it is no secret that the top European clubs are looking at him. The 20-yar-old Norwegian striker joined Dortmund midway through last season and he managed to take the Bundesliga by storm. He scored 16 goals in 18 appearances for the German outfit. Prior to his move to Germany, he had managed to bag 28 goals in 22 appearances for RB Salzburg last season. Speaking to Lothar Matthäus during a TV programme, the RB Salzburg director Christoph Freund claimed that he believes the young striker will end up at Liverpool. The Reds have not been linked with the 20-year-old in the recent months but Freund’s claim will certainly fuel rumours of a summer transfer. Ther...
Jude Bellingham has explained to The Guardian why he did not move to Manchester United in the summer transfer window. The 17-year-old midfielder was reportedly on the radar of Premier League giants United in the summer of 2020. According to The Guardian, the Red Devils were keen on securing the services of the teenager from Birmingham City.

Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has lavished praise on the Real Madrid midfielder Isco recently. The Spaniard has fallen down the pecking order at Santiago Bernabeu and he has been linked with a move away from Los Blancos. The Italian manager was asked about links with the attacking midfielder after his side’s 2-1 defeat against Newcastle United on Sunday but he chose to remain coy on the matter. He said: “Isco is a fantastic player and [I have] a fantastic memory of him but now I am not, honestly, focused there. I am focused on an important week we are going to have to recover players and to be well prepared for the game against United.” Recently, Everton signed James Rodriguez from Real Madrid and it will be interesting to see if he makes a move to bring Isco to Goodison Park as well in ...
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seemed disappointed with his team’s performance against Arsenal on Sunday. Speaking to the media during the post-match presser, the former Manchester United striker also reflected on his team’s home form this season. Solskjaer believes that the home form is irrelevant this season due to the absence of supporters in the stadiums but he did admit that the poor showing at Old Trafford has not escaped his attention. The Red Devils have lost 3 and drawn 1 of their four home league games so far. Solskjaer added that Manchester United needed ten games to pick up three wins in the league last season and the team needs to focus on the Everton game now. He said to the club’s official website: “Home and away form is out of the window really with no ...
