It’s safe to say that Tottenham fans have fond memories of a certain Luka Modric from his time at the club.

Carlo Ancelotti has opted to use younger midfielders this season in the main. That has left Modric on…

Sources have indicated that the cost of the damage will run into at least six-figures. A Tottenham statement read: ‘We can confirm that an individual was arrested for criminal damage following…
Liverpool have enjoyed a successful start to the 2023/23 campaign – following a major rebuild of Jurgen Klopp’s squad during the summer transfer window.
