Since the departure of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich in the summer, it is no secret that Spurs need to bolster their forward line. At present, Heung-min Son is leading the line there, and doing a grand job, too. The South Korean has six goals so far this season (Transfermarkt) and has looked like he may be back to his best. But, that doesn’t stop the rumour mill from spinning. With talent like Richarlison, Brennan Johnson, and Dejan Kulusevski it could be hard to imagine that Spurs would require another attacker, but the reports linking the club to Feyenoord’s prolific…
Sturridge, who recently retired from professional football in the summer, finds himself at the crossroads of legal woes in the United States. The situation in the courtroom began back in July 2019 after Sturridge’s pet Pomeranian, Lucci, was stolen from his residence in Los Angeles. In a desperate bid, the 34-year-old offered a reward for Lucci’s safe return. But according to the Mirror, it was Foster Washington, a rapper known by the stage name Killa Fame, who claimed to have facilitated the reunion of Sturridge with his dog. However, the rapper alleged that he never received the promised reward from…
Antonio Conte has revealed he would like to manage a team “that has recently won”, as he emphasised the need for a club to have a successful history in an apparent dig at some of his recent employers. The Italian has been out of a job since leaving Tottenham in March, when his time in north London came to a dramatic end after he labelled his players “selfish’ and slammed culture at the club. In his 16 months at Spurs, Conte was unable to end the club’s wait for a trophy, falling to tame exits last season to AC Milan and Sheffield United…
Manchester City’s Premier League clash with rivals Liverpool has been banned from kicking off at 5.30pm amid concerns over fan trouble, Daily Mail reports. The two sides were due to face each other at the Etihad Stadium on November 25 in the late Saturday slot on Sky Sports. However, the local safety advisory group – which includes the police – are not expected to give permission for the fixture to take place in the early evening following a number of issues at previous matches between the pair. As a result, the game has been brought forward to 12.30pm with the…
Tottenham Hotspur manager, Ange Postecoglou has written himself into the Premier League history books after he was named Manager of the Month for September. Postecoglou has become the first manager to pick up the award in his first two months working in the competition after he took charge of Tottenham in the summer. The Australian, who left Scottish champions Celtic to take the Spurs job, has enjoyed a remarkable start and has led his team to the top of the table. Postecoglou’s men remain unbeaten in the Premier League this season, winning six and drawing twice with impressive wins over…
There always seems to be something when the Liverpool players depart for international duty. There is usually some sort of injury or issue, with late returns for the likes of Alexis Mac Allister after the previous break being an issue in the Wolves game that followed. The South Americans are back relatively late again this time (and there is another early kick-off on the first Saturday back, for the third time in a row, with the Merseyside derby put into that slot) but more of an issue could be an injury picked up by Andy Robertson. The Scotland captain is heading…
Trent Alexander-Arnold has provided the perfect comeback to a cheeky James Maddison jibe earlier this week about replaying the Tottenham game. Jurgen Klopp hit the headlines last week by suggesting that last month’s 2-1 defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could be replayed following the VAR communication error that led to Luis Diaz‘s goal not being allowed to stand. The football world found all sorts of ways to poke fun at Liverpool and the situation, with Maddison getting involved in the joke while on England duty with Alexander-Arnold. The Tottenham midfielder posted an Instagram story of the two in camp with the caption: “Still asking for a…
The Reds now have three of the Netherlands best players in their squad. Captain Virgil van Dijk is a world star, Cody Gakpo is their top forward and although he’s fallen out of favour with the national team, Gravenberch is a burgeoning talent. But according to Liverpool’s new midfielder, the Reds shouldn’t stop there. Asked by Sky Sports which of his national team colleagues should arrive at Anfield next, Gravenberch opted for another Premier League talent. “I’d go maybe for a good friend of mine, Jurrien Timber,” smiled the 21-year-old. “I played my whole life with him, he’s like a brother to me so that’s why…
Liverpool have been rocked by what could prove to be a devastating injury blow for Jurgen Klopp during the latest instalment of the international break, according to fresh reports. According to a Liverpool transfer update from Football Insider reporter Pete O’Rourke, the Reds have held contact with Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie’s entourage; however, the report states that they are unlikely to make a move for the Ecuador international in the January transfer window. Fluminense midfielder Andre is a more likely target as Klopp looks to strengthen his midfield and it is believed that Liverpool aren’t expected to make moves in both positions. Liverpool are…
Liverpool are looking to add more depth to their squad and have identified the perfect young forward for next summer. Jurgen Klopp’s side has accomplished an impressive rebuild over the past 12 months, moving on experienced players and investing in youth. Fabinho, Roberto Firmino and Jordan Henderson all left the club for Saudi Arabia in the summer. The midfield in particular was given the most attention last summer with Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominic Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo joining the club. With reports that Mo Salah could eventually leave for Saudi Arabia the Reds have been linked with a host…
