‘Everywhere he’d sleep’ – David Beckham shares what he has noticed about Spurs star
Inter Miami owner David Beckham visited the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to meet with some of the players and boss Jose Mourinho to discuss how nutrition, mental health and sleep impact performance on the pitch. The Manchester United legend wants to help his team to become the best they possibly can, and he was at Spurs prior to the suspension of footballing activities to get needed tips.

We need to take care of our body, the amount of food and, of course to sleep well. It’s very important,” Mou...
Report: Wolves make enquiry for 28-yr-old La Liga midfielder
Wolves are thought to be keen on the Real Betis midfielder William Carvalho. The 28-year-old has done well for the La Liga side and he could prove to be a good addition to Nuno’s midfield.

Wolves have the finances to tempt the defensive midfielder and Diario de Sevilla (via Sportwitness) claims that they have asked about his availability and price ...
Report: Spurs ‘have asked’ about £53m star…but NUFC ‘great favourite’ to sign him

However, if the reports are to be believed, the potential owners are expected to invest a sum of £200 million in recruitment and infrastructure.

And, the prospective new-owers are ambitious. Spanish newspaper Marca claimed earlier this week that Newcastle United have identified Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale as their top priority signing ...
Report: Newcastle very keen on 28-goal star who is valued at £40m
Newcastle are very keen on signing Odsonne Edouard from Celtic this summer. As per Ian McGarry (via Express), the Magpies want to invest in quality players once the takeover is complete and Edouard is a target.

If Newcastle manage to sign Edouard for a reasonable fee, it would be a tremendous signing for them. The Frenchman is an exceptional talent and he has shown that in the Scottish Premiership and the Europa League this season. Edouard has 28 goals to his name so far this season and he would improve...
