Mesut Ozil aims brutal dig at Tottenham Hotspur
Arsenal star Mesut Ozil has aimed a brutal dig at Tottenham Hotspur, joking that he will only join them if he doesn’t want to win a cup. The German has spent seven seasons at the Emirates Stadium, and has played a huge role in his side’s three FA Cups wins and a Community Shield win. Arsenal picked up the FA Cup and another Community Shield without key contributions from Ozil last term, and their fans believe that North London is still red despite finishing below bitter city rivals Tottenham in the Premier League. Spurs last won a silverware in 2008, and the Gunners star didn’t hesitate to aim a brutal dig at Jose Mourinho’s side on Twitter during a Q&A session: If I don’t want to win a cup, I should go there 🏆😉 #YaGunnersYa❤️#AskMesut https://t.co/j6O0l7n...

Journalist: PL rival willing to offer £27m to sign player Mourinho wants at Spurs

It has been reported that Los Blancos will demand around €20-25 million (£18-22m) for the player. Escalante claims that the defender will not be joining Sevilla this summer.

Gareth Bale: Real Madrid blocked my return to Premier League
Gareth Bale has accused Real Madrid of making it “very difficult” to leave the Spanish club as the Wales forward looks to end his Bernabeu exile. Bale is out of favour with Real manager Zinedine Zidane and played just 48 minutes of Madrid’s 12 games when the Spanish season resumed after the coronavirus lockdown. Zidane, who has feuded with Bale throughout his two spells in charge, said the winger did not want to play in last season’s Champions League last-16 second-leg tie at Manchester City. Bale has two years left on his Real contract, but there appears little chance he will force his way into the manager’s plans. The 31-year-old almost joined Chinese Super League club Jiangsu Suning in 2019 before Real pulled the plug on the deal, a decision that still irks Bale. “I think the club needs...

It seems that the player is keen on a move away from Santiago Bernabeu but Real Madrid blocked his exit last season and his future will depend on what they decide. Bale played his best football at Tottenham and a return to England would be ideal for his career right now. He’s a world-class player when on form and ...
