Supporters in north London have every right to start dreaming of silverware after a near-flawless start to the 2023-24 season. Six months ago, the future looked bleak for Tottenham. A disappointing eighth-place finish in the Premier League reflected a chaotic campaign that saw Antonio Conte and his interim replacement Cristian Stellini both sacked as a number of key players failed to live up to expectations. Harry Kane was one of the few that could hold his head up high after another 30-goal season, but Bayern Munich quickly made it clear that the England captain was their top summer transfer target…
Pundit Ally McCoist has admitted he thinks Tottenham Hotspur playmaker James Maddison could become even better than Martin Odegaard. Speaking on TalkSPORT (10/10 8:52am), McCoist and Andy Townsend were discussing the two number tens. The pair are arguably two of the most exciting players in the Premier League right now. Martin Odegaard has stepped up to be a key man for Arsenal ever since his move from Real Madrid. He’s embraced wearing the captain’s armband and ties together everything good Arsenal do in attack. A man who has arguably had an even bigger impact at his club in North London is James Maddison. The…
Tottenham Hotspur sit on top of the Premier League table and unbeaten in a season that has so far brought almost everything the supporters could have wanted from the early months of the Ange Postecoglou era. Spurs have played with style, swagger and an aggression that the fans have been yearning for in recent years. The one low point of a much-changed Tottenham team exiting the Carabao Cup on penalties has mostly been overshadowed by a very positive start to the campaign under Postecoglou. It’s time for our soccerhuz.com international break tradition of looking back and rating the players who…
Inter Milan are plotting a January transfer swoop to sign Chelsea striker Armando Broja – which could help Mauricio Pochettino fund a move to sign Brentford star Ivan Toney. football.london understands the England international is someone that has interested the Blues for a while now and when his ban from football ends in January, a move for the Brentford striker could be considered. However, signing someone who has missed over half of the season because of a ban presents a risk in itself. Arsenal and Tottenham have also been linked with a move for Toney in January which could spark a three-way bidding war.…
Chelsea star Nicolas Jackson has withdrawn from the Senegal squad during the international break after undergoing a minor operation on his wrist. The 22-year-old has worn a splint in his last two appearances for the Blues after suffering from some discomfort in the area prior to the Carabao Cup third round victory against Brighton. Jackson has now withdrawn from the Senegal squad for next Monday’s friendly with Cameroon and was replaced by Rangers’ Abdallah Sima. The former Villarreal striker has stayed in London to rest and recharge following the small procedure as he now aims to build up his fitness…
Half of Chelsea’s squad have departed to join up with their international teams but hard work is still taking place at Cobham. Mauricio Pochettino is looking forward to more of his players recovering in the two weeks between Premier League matches and improving his top of his agenda. “To improve players, try to recover players from injury in two weeks, we’re going to spend working in the training ground,” said the 51-year-old following Chelsea’s win over Burnley. “Of course different mood from the last time, last month. With a victory, it is much better. I think pushing, keep pushing and…
It’s been a busy international break for Chelsea already and it’s hardly even begun. Whilst Mauricio Pochettino might well be hoping for a quiet fortnight to continue working with his squad and recovering players it has kicked off like a train on fire. The Blues have already seen Axel Disasi called up for the France national team but withdraw less than a day later due to an injury scare, here we go again. Early reports from France don’t appear to be too worrying though with the suggestion that it is just a precaution at this stage. Whilst Disasi is dealt…
UEFA has recently announced that Merseyside will be hosting European Championship matches in 2028. However, to the disappointment of many Liverpool fans, Anfield will not be one of the venues. Instead, Everton’s new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock has been selected as the representative for Merseyside. This decision has raised questions about why Anfield, the iconic home of Liverpool Football Club, was not included in the final list. The selection process for the host stadiums involved choosing a trimmed-down group of 10 football arenas, after an initial list of 14 had been compiled. Wembley, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Principality Stadium in…
They’ve had some epic battles on the pitch over the years, and now it seems that Liverpool and Real Madrid are set for a huge transfer tussle for a £52m-rated defender. With nine goals conceded in the Premier League so far, the Reds have been back to somewhere approaching their defensive best under Jurgen Klopp. Real Madrid have been even more miserly, letting in just six goals in their nine La Liga matches to date in 2023/24. To that end, you have to wonder why either might be on the lookout for more defensive reinforcements given that it’s clear both…
Liverpool think that they’ve got a young player who can follow in the footsteps of Ben Doak. Doak has had a meteoritic rise at Liverpool having signed from Celtic last summer. Still only 17, the Scotsman is now a fully-fledged member of Jurgen Klopp’s first-team. His development from 16-year-old to senior squad member in less than a year has been incredible. And according to The Athletic, Liverpool believe they may have another player who could do the same. They claim that there are ‘high hopes’ that 17-year-old Trent Kone-Doherty can develop into a first-team player in the way Doak has done. The…
