Mourinho mentions the two Spurs stars he badly needed for the last 15 mins last night
Tottenham Hotspur were held to a 1-1 draw at home yesterday by Manchester United after Bruno Fernandes’ 81st-minute penalty struck out Steven Bergwijn’s 27th-minute opener. It dealt a blow on Spurs’ top-four chances and they could find themselves outside the top-10 at the end of matchday 30. The Red Devils were the better team last night, registering more possession (61%), shots (12) and shots on target (6) than the host, and they could have left with all three points if VAR hadn’t overruled the second penalty Jon Moss awarded them. Spurs had just three shots on target out of 10 attempts, and boss Jose Mourinho was left ruing his side’s lack of attacking options on the bench. While his United counterpart Ole Gunnar Solskjaer brought on strikers Mason Greenwood and Odion Ighalo in the ...
Hammers chief shares plans that could aid fans’ return, Levy has similar ideas
West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady has admitted that she is lobbying hard for the return of fans to stadiums in the English Premier League. The top-flight resumed action on Wednesday after 100 days of an enforced break caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The Hammers and co are playing the remaining nine league fixtures in 2019-20 behind closed doors, and it remains to be seen if fans will be allowed back into stadiums next season. Brady is hoping it happens soon, though, and she has shared plans that could aid fans’ return. “The biggest change by far is the missing supporters. It is, after all, all their hopes and dreams that we live for. Watching the games on TV on Wednesday night, it is clear we need them back — and quickly. I for one am lobbying hard for that,” the West Ham chie...
‘Do your homework’ – Spurs legend lays into Keane & Evra following ‘lazy punditry’
Manchester United legends Roy Keane and Patrice Evra were on Sky Sports last night as pundits for the Red Devils clash with Tottenham Hotspur. Jose Mourinho’s side were held to a 1-1 draw as Bruno Fernandes’ 81st-minute penalty struck out Steven Bergwijn’s 27th-minute opener, and the duo weren’t impressed with Spurs backline. They claim that the North London giants have had a soft defensive DNA for years and their comments didn’t go down well with former Tottenham centre-back Graham Roberts. He took to Twitter to lay into both Keane and Evra: “Roy Keane and Evra talking about how Spurs have had a soft DNA at the back for years. Such lazy punditry from the pair. We had the 2 best defensive records in 3 out of 5 Poch years. You get paid enough. Do your homework gents.” Roy keane and Evr...

Report: Tottenham certain to make a move for £35m-rated Everton target
Tottenham are being linked with a move for the Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. As per Ekstra Bladet (via Sportwitness), Spurs will certainly look to sign the 24-year-old midfielder this summer. Hojbjerg’s deal at the club expires in a year and he has not signed an extension. It would be better for the Saints to cash in on him now rather than losing him for free next summer. Spurs want to add more depth to their midfield and Hojbjerg would be a good addition for them. The Danish midfielder is adept at recycling possession and setting the tempo. He could be the ideal partner for someone like Tanguy Ndombele. It will be interesting to see if Spurs are willing to pay the asking price for the midfielder who is valued at £35m. The report adds that Everton are keen on the player as ...

Premier League action returns to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this evening after more than 100 days of enforced break as Tottenham Hotspur host Manchester United in what is expected to be a feisty clash.

Report: Tottenham could make a move for Crystal Palace target who would cost just £4m
Tottenham are keeping tabs on the West Brom starlet Nathan Ferguson. The defender was close to joining Crystal Palace in January but the move fell through in the end. It will be interesting to see if Spurs can bring him to the Premier League this summer. Ferguson is highly talented and he has a big future ahead of him. Spurs could help him develop into a first-team star and achieve his potential. As per Football Insider, Spurs were keen on the player in the past as well and they have been watching him closely. They could make a move for the player once again. The report adds that Crystal Palace remain interested and they are leading the chase for the young defender. However, Spurs have the resources to pull off the move. Nathan Ferguson will be a free agent at the end of this month and he ...
Report: Spurs want to sell star for £5m, Mourinho was once willing to pay £50m for him
According to Football Insider, Tottenham Hotspur are planning to sell out-of-favour left-back Danny Rose for just around £5 million this summer. The England international is currently on loan at Newcastle United, and with just a year left on his current deal, Spurs won’t hesitate to cash in on him in the coming weeks. Rose’s value has plummeted heavily in recent seasons, and his current value is a surprise given that Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho was once willing to part with £50 million for his signature while at Manchester United. Spurs sold Walker to Manchester City for £50 million in the summer of 2017, but refused to let go of Rose despite the fact that Pep Guardiola was keen. United were keen to make a move the following summer, but nothing materialized, and Rose hasn’t quite been the...
Tottenham in talks with the agent of 88-cap Int’l, Mourinho wanted him at Man Utd as well
Tottenham are interested in signing the Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic at the end of this season. Perisic is currently on loan at Bayern Munich and he has managed to impress in the Bundesliga. The Bavarian giants have an option to sign him permanently, but they are not willing to match Inter Milan’s €20m asking price. Apparently, they are prepared to offer half of that amount. The report from FcIN adds that Spurs have now spoken to the player’s agent regarding a transfer. Jose Mourinho is a long-term admirer of the 31-year-old and it will be interesting to see if he can get his hands on the player this time. The Portuguese manager wanted to sign Perisic during his time as the Manchester United boss as well. However, the Red Devils did not manage to bring the winger to Old Trafford. P...

‘Announce 5-0 loss’, ‘That’s his season over’ – Some Spurs fans react to latest injury blow
Tottenham defender Japhet Tanganga has been ruled out of the Manchester United game with an injury. As per The Telegraph, the defender has suffered a stress fracture in his back but he is expected to play again this season. The young defender has made quite the impression so far and he would have been an integral part of Mourinho’s first-team squad for the remaining games. It will be interesting to see how Spurs cope without him. The Londoners have been plagued with injury issues all season but the Coronavirus lockdown allowed their first-team stars to recover properly. The injury to Tanganga will surely frustrate Mourinho and the Spurs fans. Spurs need their key players fit and firing for the remainder of the season. They are trailing in the race for a top-four finish and the Londoners wi...
‘I’m very surprised’ – Ian Wright can’t believe Spurs star doesn’t get linked with Barcelona
Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League action on Friday and will hope to kick off the restart with a victory at the expense of Manchester United. Sealing all three points will boost Spurs’ chances of securing a Champions League spot for next season, and manager Jose Mourinho will be glad he has a fully fit squad. Moussa Sissoko, Tanguy Ndombele, Harry Kane, Steven Bergwijn and Son Heung-min are all raring to go, and the South Korean’s pace will cause opponents lots of problem as always. The 27-year-old has scored nine goals and assisted seven others in 21 league appearances for Spurs so far this term, and no other player in the team has had more hands in goals than him. Son will be crucial to his side’s top-four ambitions in the last nine fixtures, but he remains underrated, and Arsena...
