Caveat to Spurs’ super start Tottenham went into the second international break of the season top of the Premier League table after winning six and drawing two of their first eight games under new boss Ange Postecoglou.

Out of Tottenham’s six league wins to date, four came against Luton, Bournemouth, Burnley and Sheffield United -…
Chelsea’s transfer committee are going through their options for 2024 and Osimhen is very high on their list of targets, and they have ‘noted’ the recent issues he has encountered with the Sicilian giants. Given the selling club is Napoli and the president Aurelio De Laurentiis is such a tough negotiator Chelsea sources are far from sure that it will be an easy deal. Stamford Bridge sources have told TT: “It is not guaranteed that Osimhen will be a Chelsea player but he is someone the club have been and are tracking closely. “With that the recent actions and statements from Napoli…

The Berahino to Spurs story dominated the headlines for much of the summer of 2015 but the deal ultimately fell through towards the end of the transfer window. At the time, the England Under-21 international was seen as one of the best young talents in the country, with many even talking about him in the same breath as Harry Kane. However, after the move to North London collapsed, he never quite managed to replicate the same form. He had a three-year spell at Stoke City, where he struggled to get minutes under his belt before moving to Belgian side Zulte…
According to reports, Arsenal could ‘beat Liverpool’ in the race to sign Fluminense star Andre Trindade if they offload a couple of players first.

One observer believes a summer Tottenham signing has been even more impressive than James Maddison this season, and one teammate in particular is thriving as a result. It’s been a wildly encouraging start to the new campaign for Tottenham, with the appointment of Ange Postecoglou already looking an inspired move by Daniel Levy. Gone are the days of Spurs playing five at the back and serving up a dour brand of football. Instead, Tottenham are once again a team on the front foot and their players have license to express themselves. Spurs were crying out for a creative spark in midfield…
Former Juventus and Tottenham striker Fernando Llorente feels Spurs midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg would be ideal for the Bianconeri and warns Max Allegri’s men about Rafael Leao. Højbjerg has emerged as one of Juventus’ main targets for January, given that both Paul Pogba and Nicolò Fagioli have been suspended. “I faced him [Højbjerg] in the Premier League. He is a leader, a captain and is what Juventus need to start a new successful era,” Llorente, a former Juventus and Tottenham striker, told La Gazzetta dello Sport. However, there is still a long way to go before the winter transfer window begins.…
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher was left frustrated with the positioning of Trent Alexander-Arnold against Everton yesterday. The England international was playing an inverted role in the first half and looked like an attacking midfielder at times. However, with Everton understandably falling into a low block following their red card, Carragher thought Liverpool needed Trent wide once more.
