Report: Tottenham Hotspur join Celtic in race for teenager
Tottenham Hotspur have joined Celtic and Everton in the race for Stoke City youngster Mohamed Sankoh, according to Football Insider. It has been reported that Tottenham are interested in signing the 16-year-old centre-forward in the summer transfer window. The report has also claimed of interest in the teenager from Everton and Scottish Premiership side Celtic. Sankoh will become a free agent this summer when his youth contract at Stoke runs out, and the youngster wants to move to an elite club, according to the report. One for the future Sankoh is a very talented young centre-forward, but he is only 16 years of age and is still developing as a footballer. Tottenham, Celtic or Everton are unlikely to be looking at him to make an immediate impact on the first team. However, the centre-forwa...
UEFA releases possible dates for Champions League games
UEFA’s plan to complete the Champions League and Europa League continues. The plan says that they will be played throughout the month of August once the leagues are done in July. UEFA have an idea which is to end the season by the end of August. Therefore, the domestic leagues need to be completed by the end of July. The proposal is for the remaining last 16 games to be played in the first week of the month. On 26th and 29th August, Gdansk and Istanbul will host the Europa League and Champions League finals respectively. ‘Marca’ says that they will try and stick to that instead of playing both the finals at the same venue. There are 17 Champions League and 27 Europa League matches left to play. Confirmation of the new calendar depends first on leagues getting back underway and then on the ...
£18m midfielder speaks on his Barcelona future amid reported Tottenham Hotspur interest
Croatian midfielder Ivan Rakitic has said that he is ‘very happy‘ at Barcelona amid the recent speculation linking him with a Premier League move to Tottenham Hotspur. The 32-year-old’s playing time with the Blaugrana has reduced with the arrival of Frenkie de Jong last summer and he has been restricted to only 13 starts in the Spanish La Liga and Champions League combined this term. With his contract expiring in less than 14 months’ time, there has been the suggestion that he could make the move to Spurs this summer with manager Jose Mourinho being a keen admirer of his services. However, speaking to Sky Germany, Rakitic has cleared doubts regarding his future by stating that he is committed to the Blaugrana for the remaining length of his contract. He added that he continues to have a go...
Will Premier League with no fans be worth the wait?
The Premier League is adamant that it can overcome huge logistical challenges to get players back on the pitch during the coronavirus crisis but has long since accepted there will be no fans in the stadiums. English Football Association chairman Greg Clarke became the latest senior figure to admit this week that social-distancing guidelines make it impossible for supporters to congregate in stadiums “any time soon”. The drive behind the Premier League’s “Project Restart” is the attempt to avoid having to pay back millions in TV revenue. Clubs could reportedly miss out on £762 million ($946 million) for failing to complete this season alone. According to UEFA’s latest European Club Footballing Landscape report, just 13 percent of the Premier League’s revenue comes from gate receipts. Englan...
Tottenham Hotspur prepared to sell 22-year-old star for just £8m: report
Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to sanction the sale of defender Juan Foyth for just £8m this summer, a report from Football Insider claims. The centre-back has been with the north London club since August 2017 but he has not been able to establish himself as a regular with just 32 appearances across all competitions. Foyth still has more than two years remaining on his contract but Spurs are keen on selling him so long as they can recoup the entire £8m fee paid for his services from Estudiantes three years ago. The 22-year-old has generally been a regular on the bench for Spurs but he has failed to even make the matchday squad since Jose Mourinho replaced Mauricio Pochettino as the manager in November. Foyth has earned only 136 minutes of first-team football under the Portuguese ...
Paul Robinson believes Spurs fans would take £20.25m-rated star with open arms
Paul Robinson has described Willian as a top player and believes the Brazilian would favour a move to Tottenham Hotspur when his Chelsea contract expires during the summer. The 31-year-old has less than two months remaining on his existing deal with the Blues but he has already said that he would remain loyal to the club until the current season concludes. In this case, the winger could remain with Frank Lampard’s side until July or August but he is thereafter expected to pursue a fresh challenge as the Blues have refused to meet his demands for a fresh three-year contract. Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have both been credited with an interest in his services but BeIN Sports’ Richard Keys has recently claimed that the attacker is on his way to Spurs. Speaking to Football Insider, Robinson ...
