RB Leipzig boss emerges as Tottenham’s ‘top target’ to replace Jose Mourinho
RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann has emerged as the likely candidate to replace Jose Mourinho, should Tottenham’s current slump continue. Spurs began the season in excellent form and even topped the table as recently as early December, yet just a few months later, Mourinho’s men find themselves 23 points behind leaders Manchester City and with a real job to do to secure a top-four spot. Their defeat to London rivals West Ham United on Sunday means they are now nine points behind the Hammers in fourth, albeit with a game in hand on David Moyes’ side. Despite a late rally in that game, inspired by half-time substitute Gareth Bale, Tottenham’s defensive woes once again came to the fore, the centre-back pairing of Eric Dier and Davinson Sanchez looking particularly shaky in recent weeks. With...

Alan Shearer reacts to Fulham win as Newcastle edge closer to relegation
Fulham secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Sheffield United last night, with the result handing their survival chances a massive boost. The Cottagers are only three points off safety, and Newcastle United will need to secure a win against Manchester United at Old Trafford tonight in order not to edge closer to a full-blown relegation battle. Ending matchday 25 with only three points above Fulham will not do the Magpies’ confidence any good, and their fans are already afraid that a spell in the drop zone is inevitably on the cards. Newcastle legend Alan Shearer was keeping an eye on Fulham’s game last night, and his reaction to Gary Lineker’s comments on Ademola Lookman’s winner speaks volumes. 👀 https://t.co/U816Ef7dAh — Alan Shearer (@alanshearer) February 20, 2021 Newcastle ha...
