Atletico Madrid to Fight Premier League Duo for Arkadiusz Milik
Atletico Madrid are preparing to battle it out with Tottenham Hotspur and Everton for the signature of Napoli striker Arkadiusz Milik (AS). Milik came to Napoli in the summer transfer window of 2016 from Ajax. Injuries and the form of Belgian forward Dries Mertens have seriously limited his game time at Gli Azzurri. Despite this, he has an impressive goalscoring record, netting 28 from 46 starts in Serie A over the last two seasons. However, the Poland international has fallen out of favour with manager Gennaro Gattuso and was left out of the Napoli squad for the 2020/21 season after refusing moves to Roma and Fiorentina. Milik is out of favour at Napoli Milik is out of contract next summer, leaving him free to talk to other clubs in January. And, according to Spanish outlet AS, Atletico M...
‘I’m not sure’: Mourinho delivers big fitness update on Spurs star ahead of Arsenal clash
Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho is confident that striker Harry Kane will be fit to play against Arsenal in the north London derby clash on Sunday in the Premier League. Spurs were without their talisman striker Kane for their Europa League clash against LASK, but Mourinho is hopeful that the 27-year-old would be able to play against the Gunners.

However, the focus now shifts on to the Premier League, and Mourinho will be expecting to have all his key players fit and firing for the derby clash. Prior to the match, Mourinho didn’t give enough information about Kane’s injury. The Portuguese boss has confirmed that Kane is currently going through treatment at the...
‘Mission completed’, ‘fantastic news’: Some Spurs fans react to Euro club’s official Twitter post
Ryan Sessegnon has been impressing in his loan spell at Bundesliga side Hoffenheim. The 20-year-old – who joined Spurs from Fulham for £25m in the summer of 2019 (signed by Mauricio Pochettino) – moved to Hoffenheim in the summer transfer window on loan. Spurs rate the young left-winger (who can play as a left-back) highly and want him to get regular games and return to the north London club next season as a revitalised player. Spurs boast of a wealth of attacking midfielders, and following the arrival of Gareth Bale from Real Madrid on loan Sessegnon was always going to struggle for game time this season. Likewise, Spurs have Ben Davies and Sergio Reguilon as left-back options, and he would have struggled to nail down a regular starting place in defence as well. His move to Germ...
Gareth Bale scores 200th career goal
Tottenham and Wales forward Gareth Bale scored his 200th career goal as he equalised for Spurs against LASK in the Europa League.

Wales international Bale had been stuck on 199 goals for club and country since he scored for Spurs in their 2-1 Premier League win over Brighton at the start of November. He went close to reaching the milestone during Tottenham’s 4-0 win over Ludogorets in the Europa League on November 26, but hit his 200th goal in Spurs’ next European outing. Bale’s landmark strike – his first away goal for Spurs in Europe since he scored a hat-trick at the San Siro against Inter in 2010 – came from the penalty spot, Bale restoring parity after Peter Micho...
Mourinho suggests ‘the only problem’ he’s facing with Spurs summer signing
Jose Mourinho has suggested that Gareth Bale needs a ‘physical evolution’, ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s Europa League clash against LASK on Thursday. Bale returned to his former club in the summer transfer window on a season-long loan from Real Madrid. He arrived at the north London club in a poor physical condition having played little football last season and needed time to get back to full fitness. The Welshman has managed seven appearances in all competitions for Spurs, scoring one goal. He is now playing regularly and gradually improving on his fitness. Most importantly, he is loved and respected by everyone at the club and has the full backing of his manager and fellow teammates. Mourinho feels that Bale doesn’t need a ‘technical evolution’ but he needs to work on his fitness. ...
Fabrizio Romano: Spurs can sign 25 y/o target in January…but he’s expensive
Tottenham Hotspur can still sign Milan Skriniar from Inter Milan in the January transfer window, according to popular journalist and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The Guardian journalist claimed on Here we go podcast that Spurs could still sign the 25-year-old defender in the January transfer window if they paid £45m (Inter’s asking price) for his signature. Spurs were heavily linked with a move for the Slovak defender in the summer. Both the clubs held talks over a potential transfer, but in the end, the deal didn’t materialise. Inter were demanding a fee in the north of £50m for Skriniar, which was way higher than Tottenham’s valuation of the player. The north London club reportedly proposed a loan deal with an option to buy but cash-strapped Inter weren’t interes...

UEFA Announce Team of the Year Nominees
UEFA have revealed the nominees for the 2020 fans’ Team of the Year. The 50-man list is comprised of five goalkeepers, 15 defenders, 15 midfielders, and 15 forwards.

Bayern completed the treble with a win over PSG in August Runaway Premier League champions Liverpool and Champions League finalists Paris Saint Germain also hold a high percentage of the nominees, possessing eight candidates each. It was a disappointing turn out from the La Liga giants, as Real Madrid and Barcelona only managed one nominee each, while Atletico Madrid had just two. Germany were the most represented nation with six, with France one behind. Argentina, Portugal, England, Brazil, Sp...

Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has made it clear that he does not want to bring Christian Eriksen back to North London this January, according to Football Insider. Eriksen left Spurs for Inter Milan in January 2020 for a fee of approximately £17m.

Report: Tottenham monitoring 28-yr-old as January target, Everton wanted him in summer
Tottenham are hoping to add some defensive depth to their squad when the transfer window re-opens in January and they are monitoring the Sassuolo defender Gian Marco Ferrari. According to 90min, the 28-year-old is one of the options Jose Mourinho is looking at. Currently, Tottenham have five centre backs at their disposal but Toby Alderweireld is sidelined with an injury. Joe Rodon is inexperienced and he is not considered ready for regular Premier League action just yet. Davinson Sanchez seems to have fallen out of favour with Jose Mourinho and falling behind in the pecking ordre. Therefore, Eric Dier and Japhet Tanganga are the only other options for the London club. Earlier this season, Jose Mourinho claimed that Tanganga is better suited to the role of a full back. It will be interesti...
