Tottenham Hotspur have identified Feyenoord boss Arne Slot as leading candidate to become their new manager, according to a recent report from the Independent.
What's the latest Tottenham manager news?
Tottenham have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Burnley manager Vincent Kompany, as it has recently transpired he wants to stay on with the Clarets for an additional season, making it unlikely he will take another job in the off-season.
A surprise new candidate for the job is South Korea boss Jurgen Klinsmann, who is now being considered by chairman Daniel Levy, while former Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has also been linked with the role.
At one stage, it was claimed that Mauricio Pochettino was "pushing hard" for a return to N17, however the club's hierarchy is said to have reservations about re-appointing the Argentine, and rivals Chelsea are now in talks.
According to a report from the Independent, Slot is now being viewed as a leading candidate for the Spurs job, as the Feyenoord boss has struck the board as the manager who best fits what they want.
The 44-year-old is viewed as a manager on an upward curve, with experience working with young players, akin to Pochettino when he was first appointed in 2014, which may make him a more attractive option than some big-name managers.
Although the Dutchman is one of the main contenders, Tottenham are also still monitoring Julian Nagelsmann, while Roberto De Zerbi has also been considered, but a deal for the Italian would be difficult to strike.
Should Tottenham appoint Arne Slot?
There are plenty of indications the Bergentheim-born tactician would bring an exciting style of football to Spurs, having been hailed as "ultra-attacking" by Dutch football expert Marcel van der Kraan.
During his time with Feyenoord, Slot has led the club to the Europa Conference League final, before narrowly coming up short against Roma, while his side are also way out in front at the top of the Eredivisie, having lost just one game all season.
Feyenoord's Arne Slot
The former AZ Alkmaar boss has never managed outside of the Netherlands, which means it would be a risk to appoint him, however Levy has been unsuccessful when bringing in proven Premier League managers, including Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho.
As such, the Feyenoord boss could end up being a shrewd appointment for Tottenham, and they should continue to monitor his availability between now and the end of the season.
Injury expert Dr. Rajpal Brar believes Manchester City defender Nathan Ake is a major doubt for the Premier League meeting with Arsenal next week.
What happened to Ake against Bayern Munich?
Ake kept his place in Pep Guardiola’s side as City qualified for the Champions League semi-finals after a 1-1 second-leg draw with Bayern Munich.
However, it wasn’t all good news for the Sky Blues, with Ake going off with an apparent injury in the second half. The Dutchman held his hamstring after stretching to receive a pass and signalled straightaway to the bench, with Aymeric Laporte coming on in his place.
A top-of-the-table and potential season-defining clash with Arsenal is scheduled for Wednesday, and it looks as if Ake, who was set for a scan yesterday, may not feature following Brar’s comments.
Footbal London relayed a Twitter post from Brar in the last 48 hours regarding Ake’s injury. The injury expert believes that the timeline for a return will depend on the severity and location of injury, with a minimum timeframe of one week and maximum of 10 weeks or more.
"Nathan Ake right hamstring injury. Timeline depends the severity & location of injury (near tendon typically longer).
"Typically grade 1 is 1-2 weeks, grade 2 is 3-6 weeks & grade 3 is 10+ weeks depending on surgery or not. Higher risk for high pace players/positions.
Would be a blow for Guardiola…
It remains to be seen if Ake is definitely out of the meeting with Arsenal, but you’d expect that his involvement against Sheffield United tomorrow and Arsenal next week is in real doubt. Losing Ake for two crucial games would be a real blow for Guardiola, with the 28-year-old making 36 appearances in all competitions this season.
The Netherlands international has shown his versatility by turning out as a centre-back and left-back and was even hailed by Shaun Goater following his display against the Gunners in the FA Cup earlier this ear after scoring the winner and keeping Bukayo Saka quiet.
"He was brilliant how he played and in keeping (Bukayo) Saka quiet. It was a real man-of-the-match performance. He was absolutely brilliant again on Friday and it was capped with that great finish."
City should have plenty of options to replace Ake, though, with the likes of Laporte, Sergio Gomez, Kyle Walker and Rico Lewis just a few defenders who Guardiola may need to turn to. However, as per WhoScored, Ake has outperformed Laporte, Gomez, Walker and Lewis this season, showing how his absence could be a big blow.

Liverpool have struggled to maintain their high standards this season with months of inconsistent performances and injuries to key players plaguing their ability to challenge both domestically and in Europe.
The Reds were quickly knocked out of every opportunity to add another trophy to their illustrious collection and are now struggling in the Premier League too, with the side currently nine points adrift of a Champions League qualifying spot inside the top four with just seven games remaining.
Indeed, Jurgen Klopp has had to contend with a number of injuries this season, as the likes of Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, Thiago Alcantara and Naby Keita have all sustained long-term injuries at various stages of the campaign, and now the German coach has been dealt another blow ahead of the final few weeks.
The Liverpool manager took to his pre-match press conference ahead of the Nottingham Forest clash at Anfield to reveal that Roberto Firmino has suffered a muscle injury and will miss at least three fixtures:
“Unfortunately, Bobby picked up a muscle issue a little bit,”
“We will see how long that takes. It’s not too serious but he is definitely out for tomorrow and next week we have two more games, I would say they are impossible as well and then we will see. We have to take it day by day.”
Whilst the Brazilian's contributions will be sorely missed over the upcoming week of congested fixtures for the Reds, it is a massive opportunity for Cody Gakpo to settle into Firmino's famous false nine role over the remainder of the season.
Is Cody Gakpo the rightful Firmino heir?
The versatile Dutchman has had a slow start since his arrival on Merseyside in January, considering he was one of the most prolific forwards in Europe with 13 goals and 17 assists tallied up for PSV Eindhoven in all competitions in the first half of the season.
However, it would be unfair to criticise Gakpo's impact as he has had to settle into a team that was already struggling for consistency in their performances, and Klopp's strong desire for the player to take on a slightly different role than he was used to in the Netherlands has perhaps hindered his ability to hit the ground running.
Despite earning most of his experience on the left flank over his career so far, the £120k-per-week ace – hailed "impressive" by journalist Declan Carr – has been mostly deployed in the centre-forward role for Liverpool and started to make the role his own in the monumental 7-0 victory over Manchester United last month.

His pressing skills in the three-man press against the Red Devils' defence helped him to become massively disruptive out of possession and seek out pockets of space in progressive areas of the pitch, which led to him finding the back of the net twice with his opener in the seven-goal thriller unravelling his opponents.
This snippet of Gakpo's style of play at Anfield mirrors that of Firmino, who has become famously renowned for his selfless yet impactful style of play in the false nine, which has been a key component to the outstanding success that Liverpool have achieved in the last half a decade.
Now with Firmino unavailable for selection and out of contract this summer, it is the perfect chance for Gakpo to make the role his own and mould his skillset to become a real force of nature in the position ahead of next season.
Not only that, but Gakpo's Netherlands team-mate Virgil van Dijk revealed that Firmino has been working with the newly-signed player to help him to understand the important role:
"It’s a very difficult position to play, but he learns from one of the best each and every day with Bobby Firmino,"
"The winter isn’t an easy time to come to a club but Cody is settling in very well. He has to keep going, keep the confidence, keep the belief. I think he will be fine for this club. He’s a fantastic player."
With that being said, it will be interesting to see whether Gakpo will completely clone Firmino's difficult-to-grasp position or instead put his personal touch on the attacking threat with a less selfless approach in front of goal than his predecessor.
Either way, it is a bittersweet time for Liverpool supporters as they bid farewell to a club legend after nine years of impeccable service and welcome the next generation of talent who will hopefully bring more success to the red side of Merseyside.
Arsenal are targeting a centre-back in the summer to provide stronger support for William Saliba, journalist David Ornstein has claimed.
What's going on with Arsenal and Saliba?
Arsenal found themselves struggling to maintain their excellent form this season when Saliba picked up an injury against Sporting CP in the Europa League, with Rob Holding failing to deputise properly for the Frenchman.
January signing Jakub Kiwior replaced Holding as Arsenal returned to winning ways against Chelsea after four games without victory, and with Saliba's injury thought to be severe, it seems that the right centre-back role is one they are targeting in the summer window.
Speaking on The Athletic Football Podcast (10.30), Ornstein claimed that the club will be actively looking to upgrade their depth in the position in order to avoid a similiar drop-off in quality next season.
"Central defence is one that I definitely really think there'll be looking to bring reinforcements in, whether it's a starter or a backup player," he stated.
"I think Rob holding will have a year to go, and despite his clear quality, we've seen in the absence of William Saliba, that it's a bit of a mark down when he's absent."
Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes are the first choice centre-backs, and will likely continue to be next season.
Ben White made a successful move to right-back, and he shares the role with Takehiro Tomiyasu. With cover needed for Saliba, a centre-back seems to be the logical signing.
However, there have been previous links with Real Valladolid right-back Ivan Fresneda. If the teenager joins, then White or Tomiyasu could move to the centre as cover whenever Saliba is not available, with Fresneda covering the right.
Kiwior will provide cover for Gabriel as a left-footer, and a right-sided defender who can perform to a similar level of Saliba would be ideal.
There have been links with Edmond Tapsoba of Bayer Leverkusen, and given that Arsenal have now qualified for the Champions League, they may be able to afford a bigger signing in what is a crucial area of the squad.
Rob Holding will have one year left on his deal, and now he has shown his inability to provide cover at the back, he would ideally be sold after seven seasons at the club. Despite making over 150 apperarances for the club, he has failed to prove himself as a serious option heading into a season where quality depth will be paramount.

Chelsea 'shouldn't be too far away' from announcing Mauricio Pochettino as manager and he could help to accelerate the development of the Blues' young talent, according to journalist Dean Jones.
What's the latest news involving Mauricio Pochettino?
As per Football Insider, Chelsea are going to announce their new boss by the end of this week and Pochettino is 'expected to land the role' at Stamford Bridge.
The report states that discussions have reached the 'final stages' with just minor issues to iron out, such as the makeup of his backroom staff as the Argentinian edges closer to a return to management.
According to The Daily Mail, Pochettino already has plans in place to strengthen key positions and is believed to want a new goalkeeper, midfielder and striker in the forthcoming transfer window.
He is also keen to trim the squad where appropriate in order to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations while also giving Chelsea some balance in the squad heading into 2022/23.
On the pitch, things look to have got slightly better for the Blues following a torrid nine-match winless run, as they dispatched Bournemouth 3-1 at the Vitality Stadium last weekend in the Premier League, as per BBC Sport.
Benoit Badiashile was among the scorers in Chelsea's triumph on the South Coast and journalist Jones told Football FanCast that he thinks Pochettino's prospective arrival could help the likes of the central defender and others to develop at Stamford Bridge.
Jones told FFC: "I mean, obviously, we were waiting for the news of the appointment now of Pochettino and it shouldn't be too far away and once that appointment is made, Chelsea fans can start to become more excited about talent like Badiashile and what they'll get from him."
Who else could be winners under Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea?
Conor Gallagher has been in decent form for Chelsea recently, netting twice in his last four matches, as per Transfermarkt, including a header against Bournemouth last weekend.
The Epsom-born midfielder has shouldered the responsibility of breaking between the lines well in the last few weeks at Stamford Bridge and could be looked at by Pochettino as someone to shape his midfield around, given his endeavour, age and profile.
Mykhailo-Mudryk-in-action-for-Chelsea
Mykhailo Mudryk and Levi Colwill could also be players central to the Pochettino project. Speaking on Twitter, journalist Rob Pratley has recently claimed: "I understand 2 of the main points Pochettino has impressed the club on is his roadmap for Levi Colwill and Mykhailo Mudryk. The former is viewed as an integral core of the defence, whilst Pochettino has expressed his belief the latter can become an extremely effective goalscorer."
Chelsea have a lot of groundwork to do this summer to get back to pushing for major honours in west London, making pre-season an important time for all involved as they aim to head into 2023/24 in the right frame of mind.
أكد كارلو أنشيلوتي مدرب ريال مدريد، تفهمه غضب لاعبي ألميريا بعد الفوز المثير لفريقه بمنافسات الدوري الإسباني، ودافع عن قرارت التحكيم والتي يراها البعض مثيرة للجدل.
ونجح ريال مدريد في قلب الطاولة على ألميريا محققًا الفوز بثلاثية لهدفين، وشهدت المباراة إلغاء هدف ثالث لألميريا، واحتساب ركلة جزاء لريال مدريد، واحتساب هدف لفينيسيوس جونيور بعد إلغائه، وذلك بعد العودة لتقنية الفار، وهو ما أثار غضب لاعبي ألميريا.
وفي تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية، قال أنشيلوتي عن صافرات الجماهير بين شوطي المباراة: “نتفهم ذلك، رد الفعل منطقي، لم نكن جيدين، مباراة غريبة، الشوط الأول كان سيئًا للغاية”.
وأضاف: “تقييمي لتدريب الأمس كان سيئًا، لقد كان فريقًا مرهقًا، الشوط الثاني كان شيئًا آخر وكان لدينا دعم وقيادة هذا الملعب، وهو أمر مهم للغاية”.
وبشأن الجدل حول قرارات التحكيم، أفاد: “لكل شخص رأيه، لا أستطيع إلا أن أقول ما رأيته، أتفهم شكاوى ألميريا من قرارات الفار، لقد تنافسوا كثيرًا ولعبوا مباراة جيدة جدًا”.
وشدد مدرب ريال مدريد: “لكن إذا نظرنا إلى القرارات الثلاثة، فهي صحيحة، الفار يحذر والحكم يقرر وأعتقد أنه كان على حق (في قراراته)، أنا مستعد لما يمكن مناقشته، لا توجد مشكلة”.
وحول المداورة بين لونين وكيبا في مركز حراسة المرمى، أردف أنشيلوتي: “إنهم ليسوا متوترين، إنهم هادئون وسعداء، أنا لا أفعل ذلك عادة، فعلت ذلك فقط مع دييجو لوبيز وإيكر كاسياس ولم تسر الأمور بشكل سيء في ذلك العام”.
وانتقل للحديث عن التغييرات التي أجراها موضحًا: “لقد قمنا بتغيير النظام، مع خوسيلو وإبراهيم، لعبنا من الداخل أكثر من الخارج، وأدخلنا بيلينجهام أكثر إلى منطقة الجزاء، لقد سارت الأمور بشكل جيد وقد امتثلوا تمامًا بالخطة”.
وفيما يتعلق بالأهداف، أكد أنشيلوتي: “علينا أن نفكر في الأهداف التي نستقبلها وأن نشكل فريقًا أكثر صلابة”.
وأشار: “في الاستراحة… بالفعل في الدقيقة الثلاثين كنت أفكر في إجراء تغييرات، تحدثت معهم عن الاستراتيجية في الشوط الثاني وليس أكثر، لقد غضبت من نفسي”.
وأتم أنشيلوتي: “الجميع يريد اللعب ويخبرك أنه بخير، ثم عليك التقييم ويتضح أنهم ليسوا بخير، الشوط الأول للنسيان”.
