The Toffees were handed a ten-point deduction by the Premier League on Friday after breaching financial rules. Sean Dyche’s side, who have appealed, now sit in the relegation zone as a result and have just four points rather than 14. An independent commission filed a 41-page report and mentions Richarlison’s move to Spurs in the summer of 2022. The Brazilian signed in a deal rising to £60m with potential add-ons, but the report says that Everton had budgeted £80m from his sale. “Everton considered that the sale on 30 June 2022 of Mr Richarlison to Tottenham Hotspur FC for the sum of £60million,…
Radu Dragusin has reportedly caught the eye of several Premier League clubs and could be available for just £26million in January. Arsenal, Tottenham and Newcastle have all been linked with the Romania defender following an impressive start to the season. There are just over six weeks until the January window opens and clubs can splash the cash again. The summer saw an unprecedented outlay on new signings but it is unlikely to slow down come the winter. January is notoriously a harder month to convince clubs to sell their best players. But Dragusin’s potential availability could attract some of England’s…
Tottenham Hotspur’s dynamic approach to the upcoming January transfer window is grabbing headlines. In a striking development, Spurs have shifted their attention from Brentford’s Ivan Toney to Barcelona’s Raphinha, a move that signals a significant strategic pivot in their squad building efforts. As reported by Football Transfers, this decision unveils the North London club’s ambitious plans. Spurs’ New Target: Barcelona’s Raphinha Raphinha, the 26-year-old Brazilian winger, has emerged as Tottenham’s prime target. The former Leeds United attacker, now with Barcelona, has been valued at €70 million by the Spanish champions. This price tag, though steep, represents a reduction from the previously…
Tottenham are preparing themselves for some January business and reports are suggesting a move for Barcelona’s Raphinha could be on the cards. Spurs are expected to make some moves in the January window thanks to a number of injuries hitting them hard this month. With James Maddison and Micky van de Ven out, Tottenham’s plans could very much centre around making sure those two players are replaced to some extent. And according to a report from Football Transfers, Barcelona winger Raphinha is a target, with a remarkable swap deal for central defender Cristian Romero also mentioned. According to Football Transfers, Barcelona would…
Tottenham are reportedly exploring a January deal to bring Raphinha back to the Premier League from Barcelona after it was claimed they would abandon their interest in Ivan Toney to push through a deal for the former Leeds winger. The Brazil star has endured something of a stop-start spell in Catalonia since a £55m switch from Leeds in summer 2022. Raphinha spent much of his first season battling Ousmane Dembele and Ansu Fati for a place on the right of Xavi’s attack, though still managed to finish his debut season in Spain with 10 goals and 10 assists from 50 appearances. However,…
On Friday, Everton were docked 10 points following an investigation into their finances, with the club having posted significant losses between 2019/20 and 2021/22. The sanction saw the Blues drop from 14th to 19th in the league, with their points cut from 14 to four – the joint-lowest tally so far. It could serve as a major milestone in the Premier League‘s hardline approach to financial doping – though there are concerns in some quarters that Everton have been made an example of amid calls for an independent regulator. But with 115 charges against Man City and an investigation ongoing into Chelsea‘s finances under Roman…

Well, England beat Malta 2-0 in European Championship Qualifying Group C on Friday evening. It was an unconvincing win for the Three Lions, who had already qualified for the Euro 2024 finals. One player who did well for England was Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Liverpool star is a right-back by trade, but he started in midfield.

Spanish outlet Nacional (via Paisley Gates) now reports that the Reds would be prepared to offer the 22-year-old defender a starting role in the team to persuade him over alternative suitors. This comes amid alleged interest from La Liga superpowers Barcelona and Real Madrid. The Portuguese centre-back will not be allowed to depart Sporting for anything less than his £52.5m release clause. Whilst that figure shouldn’t necessarily deter us in the upcoming window, we’re struggling to wrap our heads around the club reportedly offering a starting role. With Virgil van DIjk back to his imperious best, Jurgen Klopp surely couldn’t sanction…
