Tottenham are keen on signing the Metz striker Habib Diallo this summer. As per La Semaine, the Londoners are very much in the race to sign the 25-year-old striker who has scored 12 goals in Ligue 1 this past season. Diallo has three assists to his name as well and he could be a really handy option for Mourinho next season. The report adds that the player is expected to move to England this summer. Tottenham need a quality backup for Harry Kane and Diallo would be a good addition. He is a good finisher and he could share the goalscoring burden in the absence of the England international. Kane missed quite a few games this season due to injury and Spurs struggled to score without him. Diallo could plug that gap next season. It will be interesting to see who Spurs manage to sign as Kane’s ba...
Popular pundit Graeme Souness has heaped praise on the Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin. The Frenchman has been in inspired form since the restart and he could guide Newcastle to a top-half finish if he continues to perform at this level. The Magpies are only three points behind 10th placed Burnley. Saint-Maximin has had a good season overall and Souness thinks he is a ‘top player’. The 23-year-old was recently hailed as the signing of the season by Newcastle manager Steve Bruce. Souness believes that the Newcastle star will only get better with time and no defender in the league will want to be up against in him in one-vs-one situations. He said (quotes via Chronicle): “He’s a top, top player. It’s easy to look at him and just talk about his dribbling when he gets one-on-one.&nbs...
Danny Rose has stated his desire to stay at Newcastle United and has admitted that he is playing for his future. The 30-year-old is currently on loan at St James’ Park from Tottenham Hotspur. Rose is not in Jose Mourinho’s first-team plans, and the left-back will be sold in the summer. It remains to be seen whether Newcastle take up the decision to sign him permanently at the end of the season. Rose has made seven appearances for the Magpies (six starts) so far. While he looked decent, many Newcastle fans are not convinced whether the club should sign him permanently. “First and foremost, I’m playing for my future,” Rose told the matchday programme. “I don’t think I need a bigger motivation than that. I’ve settled in very well, I love the lads and members of staff, and the fans. “It doesn’...
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli has confirmed through his Instagram handle that he will miss tonight’s clash against Everton. The 24-year-old is currently down with a hamstring injury and hasn’t made the matchday squad. Alli came off the bench to play the last 19 minutes in Thursday’s 3-1 defeat against Sheffield United but sustained the knock during training on Saturday. The Tottenham star has had problems with his hamstring in the past, and it also saw him miss some games at the beginning of this season. Spurs will have to face Everton without one of their star players and it’s a blow on their chances of winning given his creativity and quality. Alli has featured in 24 league games for the North London giants this term, scoring eight goals and assisting four times. Tottenham trave...
Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has taken a swipe at Arsenal after the Gunners’ social media handle mocked Spurs’ defeat to Sheffield United. After the game, Arsenal’s Facebook account posted that it isn’t easy to beat Sheffield United are Bramall Lane and then posted a video of Arsenal winning their FA Cup game against Chris Wilder’s side away from home. Mourinho explained that Arsenal are only enjoying Tottenham’s troubles because they are in that situation themselves. He also pointed out that the Gunners haven’t been any better in the league this season. The Spurs boss also claimed that his team will be waiting for Arsenal. The two teams meet in the north London derby on Sunday. That said, Mourinho is not keen on being the top dog in North London. He wants his side to be more ambit...
Tottenham Hotspur suffered their 11th Premier League defeat of the campaign at the hands of Sheffield United on Thursday, and will hope to make up for the loss with a victory against Everton tonight. There are just six games left for Spurs this term, and how they fare in them will determine if they will be playing European football next term. The defeat at Bramall Lane dealt a massive blow on their chances of playing Champions League in 2020-21, and the performance has got Alan Shearer wondering why Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld were both on the bench given how defensively inept Tottenham looked at the back. “They were simply awful in Thursday’s 3-1 defeat by Sheffield United. It has basically ended any lingering hope they had of qualifying for next season’s Champions League,” the f...
According to latest reports from the Daily Mail, French champions Paris Saint-Germain are interested in signing Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin this summer. The 23-year-old winger, who initially struggled to settle down due to injuries, has proved to be a big hit this season. Steve Bruce has hailed him as the signing of the season after landing him on a six-year deal for a reported fee of £16.5m. He has been simply superb for the Magpies and his performances have attracted would-be suitors in the process.

The Londoners would be willing to offer players such as Danny Rose and Juan Foyth plus cash. Popular journalist, Luke Edw...
Everton are expected to be very active in the summer transfer window. The Toffees need to sign a defensive central midfielder this summer along with other requirements. The departure of Morgan Schneiderlin is another indication that a solid defensive midfielder is needed. And it seems, Everton are prepared to pay a handsome fee to add a top-quality player for this role. According to reports from the Daily Mail, Everton are ‘ready to firm up interest’ in Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg this summer. Carlo Ancelotti has admitted recently that the 24-year-old midfielder is a good player. The Saints want around £35million for the Denmark international who has one year left on his contract. Hojbjerg has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur. However, Everton...
Speculation over the future of Newcastle manager Steve Bruce has hit the news again and speaking to BBC Sport Mark Lawrenson has heaped a lot of praise on Bruce for his time at Newcastle so far, and has slammed speculation on the future of the former Aston Villa and Sunderland boss at St. James’ Park. Bruce so far has improved Newcastle this season managing to pick up big wins over the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United and have also been playing better football than in previous seasons under former manager Rafa Benitez. According to Sky Sports, the prospective new owners of Newcastle want to appoint former Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager as they look to invest to take Newcastle to the next level. Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) have ...
Napoli are most likely to finish outside the top four in the Serie A this season. The Naples club could be forced to offload some of their key players this summer. It seems Arkadiusz Milik could be one of them. According to reports from Gialucadimarzio.com, Napoli are working on two separate deals simultaneously. They are looking to sign Victor Osimhen, and at the same time are working to offload Milik. The Polish striker will not renew his contract with Napoli, and he is likely to be sold. However, not many clubs in Europe are in a position to sign him due to his high price tag. Therefore, Napoli are looking at the possibility of a part-exchange deal where an opposition player is involved. The striker is keen on a move to Juventus, but there is strong interest from Tottenham as well....
Tottenham are keen on signing Max Aarons from Norwich City this summer. The Londoners are open to selling Serge Aurier and replacing him with the young defender. The 27-year-old hasn’t exactly been a reliable presence for Spurs this season. Aarons is highly rated in England and he has impressed in his debut season in the Premier League so far. When Norwich go down, he should look to move on to a bigger club. The Norwich City defender is too good for the Championship. If Spurs manage to sign him, it would be a superb long-term investment for them. Aarons is only 20-years-old and he could sort out their right-back position for the next decade. The Norwich defender is only going to get better with experience and coaching. It would be quite a coup for the Londoners. As per the Athletic, Mourin...
