The attacking department at Tottenham Hotspur has been subject to somewhat of an overhaul this summer, especially after the departure of fan favourite Heung-min Son.

The South Korean departed in a £20m move to join MLS outfit LAFC, ending his Lilywhites career on a high after claiming the Europa League title at the end of last season.

However, it was an emotional departure, bringing an end to his decade-long stint in North London – a period that saw him amass over 400 appearances and become the club’s fourth-highest goalscorer in their history.

At 33, it was undoubtedly the right call to allow him to move on to pastures new, but it’s left a void in the forward area – something which Thomas Frank will want to fill before the end of the summer window.

Whilst Mohammed Kudus has already been added to such a department, the new boss has made it abundantly clear that he wants added reinforcements to help him in his quest to rise up the Premier League table in 2025/26.

Spurs preparing another big move after Eze

A deal for Eberechi Eze has been in the pipeline for numerous weeks now, but a deal seems to be edging closer to completion, after key moves were made by Daniel Levy.

It was reported that the Spurs owner held face-to-face talks with Steve Parish over a move for the Englishman, which has seen a verbal agreement of £55m plus £5m in add-ons be reached in recent days.

A deal for the 27-year-old could see the Lilywhites’ pursuit of a new number ten finally come to an end, subsequently turning their attention to Monaco star Magnhes Akliouche in an attempt to further strengthen the squad.

According to The Independent, Frank’s men have identified the winger as the latest attacking target this window, potentially pursuing a move for the 23-year-old before the September 1st deadline.

Their report claims that the Frenchman is seen as an alternative to Manchester City’s Savinho after the lack of progress on a deal for the Brazilian, with Akliouche a cheaper option, currently available for around a bargain fee of £43.5m.

Why Spurs’ latest target would be perfect alongside Eze

As previously mentioned, a deal for Eze appears to finally be edging towards its completion, in a deal that would be yet another excellent deal for Spurs this window.

The attacking midfielder was one of the most potent number 10s in the division last year, managing to register 26 combined goals and assists – subsequently firing the Eagles to FA Cup glory.

If he can replicate such numbers across the capital in 2025/26, it would be a signing that would go a long way to improving the options at Frank’s disposal – making the side a force to be reckoned with across all competitions.

Such a deal would also allow the Lilywhites to get one over their bitter North London rivals Arsenal, with the Gunners also previously interested in a move for the England international.

However, the prospect of Eze operating in Frank’s side is scary enough, not to mention the potential partnership he could strike up with Akliouche, should he too make the move to join the club.

He may be an unknown quantity to many, but the 23-year-old enjoyed a season to remember in his homeland last campaign, notching seven goals and 12 assists in all competitions.

His underlying stats were just as impressive, adding another dimension to the Lilywhites squad, offering another huge attacking threat in the hierarchy’s quest for added success in the near future.

Akliouche, who’s been labelled “exceptional” by talent scout Jacek Kulig, ranked in the 93rd percentile for touches in the opposition box and passes into the 18-yard box last campaign – highlighting his ability to create or be on the end of chances.

Such numbers would fit perfectly into the hands of Eze, who registered 12 assists last season, with the pair able to link up and improve their respective tallies in North London.

The Monaco youngster also ranked in the 94th percentile for carries into the final third, whilst posting a 49% take-on success rate, subsequently able to get the ball into dangerous areas at any given opportunity.

His talents are further reflected in his progressive passes per 90 rate, averaging 5.5 per 90, with such tools able to find Eze – who will be required to make third-man runs in behind the striker within Frank’s current system.

Whilst both players would set the club back over £100m, they are additions that need to be made if the club are to build on their recent European triumph in 2024/25.

Both players are extremely technical, having the talent to get out of tight spaces and create endless opportunities, with Akliouche in particular being an exciting addition for the immediate and long-term future in North London.

Seam bowler desperate to resume rivalry with Australia as veteran of 2013-14 series win

Valkerie Baynes10-Jan-2025

Kate Cross says she is doing all she can to be fit for Sunday’s opening Ashes fixture in Sydney as she continues her return from a back injury.Cross, England’s hugely experienced and reliable seamer, broke down with back spasms during the third ODI in South Africa last month and missed the subsequent Test. Further scans upon returning home revealed a slightly bulging disc and she sat out of the sole Ashes warm-up, against a Governor General’s XI, which was washed out in the 29th over on Thursday, to continue building up to a return to play.”It’s been a bit of a frustrating one and I’m the kind of person that’s not used to having injuries,” Cross told ESPNcricinfo when asked how her recovery was progressing, and whether she was on track to play the first ODI at North Sydney Oval.”!t’s been a bit of a tough period but it’s just one of them. I’ve just got to take it day by day, taking each day as it comes really, and seeing what I can and can’t do. But obviously the Ashes is such a huge series, I’m desperate to play a part in it, so just working really hard.”Cross is one a handful of players remaining from the England squad which last won the Ashes on Australian soil in 2014 alongside Danni Wyatt-Hodge, captain Heather Knight, Nat Sciver-Brunt and Amy Jones.As such, she can provide a wealth of advice to England’s younger players but she would obviously rather help out on the field. Making her Test debut at Perth during the 2013-14 series, she played a key role by taking three wickets in each innings, including three for none in seven balls in Australia’s fourth innings, as they ultimately fell 61 runs short of their 185-run target.Related

Cross who is part of the ODI and Test squads for this series, bowled in the nets at Cricket Central in Sydney on Thursday and Jon Lewis, England Women’s head coach, expected some clarity on her fitness to play in the coming days.”I had another scan when I got back to the UK and there was a tiny, tiny, tiny little disc bulge in my back and a little bit of fluid in there,” Cross said. “I had an epidural over the Christmas period to try and settle it all down. Back injuries can be a little bit unpredictable so I’m just working through it all each day.”It’s always frustrating to have an injury and especially an injury that that stops me doing my job. When it’s something that physically keeps you from bowling, then that’s what I’ve found a little bit more difficult.”I’m still really lucky that we’ve got the best science and medicine team available and I’m out in Australia working really hard to try and get as fit as possible as quickly as possible. If I get to play some cricket, brilliant. If I don’t, then I’m hopefully still able to contribute off the pitch as well and help what is quite a youngish bowling attack.”A key part of that young attack is quick Lauren Filer, who endured a difficult outing during the warm-up game at a soggy North Sydney Oval, losing her footing multiple times in delivery. But Cross was confident the problem was more about the conditions than Filer’s rhythm or action.”I’ve not spoken to her but it was just so wet,” Cross said. “I think it probably goes to show that we shouldn’t have started in those conditions, especially so close to an Ashes series, starting on Sunday on the same ground.Cross played a vital role in the 2013-14 Ashes Test win•Getty Images

“We were really aware that, every time it rained, the pitch for Sunday was getting wet. So I think it was the literal footing underneath her. I don’t think it’s anything to do with rhythm or her run-up or anything like that. I think it was just the conditions on the day. She’s a bit like Mark Wood anyway, isn’t she? She sometimes finds herself on the deck, so I’m sure she’ll be absolutely fine.”Filer’s raw pace surprised Australia at times on her international debut in the 2023 Ashes Test but, in the prevailing conditions, it was England’s spinners who did all the damage this week.Left-armer Sophie Ecclestone, the leader of England’s spin attack, claimed three wickets, crucially breaking a 91-run opening stand between Australia captain Alyssa Healy and newcomer Georgia Voll, the latter impressing with a half-century to further press her case for selection in a packed top order.Voll was outstanding on debut against India in December while Healy was nursing a knee problem. Healy was expected to test her ability to keep wicket during the Governor General’s game but Australia didn’t get a chance to field. Instead, she was put through her paces in a practice session after the match was called off, navigating that exercise unscathed.

Harry Kane made it 13 goals in just seven games this season as the Bayern Munich star's hat-trick secured his team a thumping 4-1 win at Hoffenheim. The striker scored one from a corner and two penalties to stretch the German giants' lead at the top of the Bundesliga. Former West Ham ace Vladimir Coufal pulled a goal back before substitute Serge Gnabry restored their three-goal cushion at the death.

• Bayern show their class

  Bayern had an uncomfortable start to the game when Fisnik Asllani's strike hit the outside of the post, before Manuel Neuer was forced into two smart stops. But the England captain dug them out of a hole again when he perfectly swept in 17-year-old Lennart Karl's fizzed-in corner in the 44th minute.

  At the other end, Wouter Burger poked wide for the hosts, and then Kim Min-jae expertly denied Muhammed Damar just before the half-time whistle. Albian Hajdari was then penalised for handball after Sacha Boey's shot hit his leg, and then his arm, and Kane scored three minutes after the interval to put Bayern in control.

  Kane was on hand again to score from the spot 13 minutes from time after Michael Olise was brought down in the box by Bernardo, before the home team grabbed a consolation when Coufal's shot hit Joshua Kimmich and past Neuer in the 82nd minute. #

  Gnabry added a fourth in the 10th minute of second-half stoppage time as Bayern maintained their perfect start to the campaign.

  MVP: A masterclass from Kane

  Who else but Kane? The 32-year-old has, remarkably, been involved in 11 goals in just four Bundesliga games this season. The England ace does not appear to be slowing down despite seemingly being in the autumn years of his career.

• The big loser: An injury concern

  On a day when Bayern eased to a comfortable victory, manager Vincent Kompany may be concerned that Kim went off injured just over 20 minutes before the end. He had to be helped from the field and Dayot Upamecano replaced him. Bayern don't have a big squad so this could be a big concern.

Dorival Júnior era a exemplificação de felicidade nos vestiários do São Paulo após a vitória sobre o Puerto Cabello por 2 a 0 na noite desta terça-feira (23), resultado que praticamente encaminhou a classificação do clube do Morumbi na Copa Sul-Americana.

Não era para menos. Mais do que simplesmente a classificação no Grupo D pura e simplesmente, o resultado tornou Dorival como o único treinador do São Paulo a se manter os dez jogos iniciais invictos no comando do Tricolor neste século. E veio após uma verdadeira odisseia, com o clube encarando uma viagem de quase 16 horas da capital paulista à venezuelana Valencia, sem sequer ter tempo para treinar.

– Não trabalhamos, não treinamos, assim como retornaremos e não conseguiremos fazê-lo também. Mas, ainda assim, a equipe está dando uma resposta muito boa. Jogamos sete jogos fora de casa e apenas três em casa, mesmo assim tivemos resultados importantes, jogadores estão entendendo as dificuldades que estamos passando, enfrentando qualquer situação, passando por cima de tudo para conseguirmos resultados.

– Jogo difícil, estamos vindo de uma sequência muito pesada, com Brasileiro, Copa do Brasil e Sul-Americana. Tivemos uma logística muito complicada para uma equipe de futebol. Saímos de São Paulo praticamente meia-noite de domingo para segunda-feira e chegamos aqui às 17h do dia seguinte, foi quase um dia viajando – completou Dorival.

A maratona foi a principal justificativa do comandante são-paulino para usar a escalação completamente alternativa no duelo desta noite. Segundo ele, mais do que táticas e pensamento no adversário, jogou quem de fato estava bem.

– Tentei colocar quem estivesse melhor clínica e fisicamente falando, pelo desgaste que tivemos, dificuldades da última partida. Alguns jogadores estiveram na partida anterior, a grande maioria não. Isso poderia fazer com que o jogo ficasse um pouco mais igual em razão do desgaste. Acredito que tenha sido a opção correta, mesmo sacrificando alguns jogadores, caso do Wellington (Rato). Foi uma tomada de decisão coerente e fico muito feliz não só pelo resultado, mas pela disposição da equipe dentro de campo.

– Todos estão treinados, preparados e esse é o objetivo. Quando colocamos a situação de uma equipe que se inicia, a equipe que está fora está consciente do que está acontecendo e será treinada. O período tem sido curto e sinto que poderíamos ter tempo maior não só para recuperação, mas adaptação de exigências de cada partida. Os jogadores têm dado uma resposta positiva, têm entendido o trabalho e mesmo com o desgaste dessa viagem, estou muito satisfeito e feliz.

Wolves have been offered the chance to sign a “fantastic” defender during the summer transfer window, according to a fresh claim from journalist Tom Collomosse.

Wolves pushing for Premier League defender and winger

The start of the 2025/26 Premier League season is now only a week away, with Vitor Pereira’s side opening their account at home to title challengers Manchester City on August 16th.

Some are tipping Wolves to be among the relegation candidates this season, and having lost star player Matheus Cunha to Manchester United earlier in the summer, it is vital that more new faces arrive before the transfer window closes on September 1st.

One report has claimed that Wolves are pushing hard to complete the signing of Chelsea centre-back Axel Disasi, pipping Newcastle United to his signature in the process. An ACL injury picked up by Levi Colwill could now change the situation, however, should the Blues feel there is more of a need to keep hold of the Frenchman.

Meanwhile, added quality is required in wide attacking areas, and Liverpool youngster Ben Doak has been linked with a move to Wolves. The Reds value him at around £20m, with a host of clubs keen on him.

Wolves offered chance to sign £15m defender

According to a new update from The Daily Mail‘s Collomosse, Coventry City have offered £15m-rated defender Milan van Ewijk to Wolves this summer.

That said, a move to Molineux doesn’t appear to be likely as things stand, with the Premier League side having “other players above him in the list” of potential summer signings.

If the situation changes and Wolves suddenly see Van Ewijk as a leading contender this summer, he could be an excellent addition for Pereira.

The Dutchman has arguably been among the leading right-backs in the Championship for a number of years now, making 47 league appearances for Coventry last season, eventually losing to Sunderland in the playoffs.

Van Ewijk can provide quality at both ends of the pitch, registering nine league assists over the past two seasons and averaging 2.6 clearances per game in 2024/25, while fan and pundit Chris Deez has spoken positively about him.

“He’s a fantastic player and by and large, his time with us has been largely positive. He had a great first season, before a difficult start to the second season under Mark Robins, but then picked up towards the end. He obviously made that mistake which pretty much cost us the play-offs, but I don’t think anybody really holds that against him because he has been a great player for us.”

With Nelson Semedo departing Wolves at the end of last season, the need for a new right-back is clear for Wolves, and Van Ewijk’s experience of English football makes him an astute option. That said, it looks as though they will look elsewhere to strengthen in that area of the pitch.

Fast bowler Jacob Duffy has been added to New Zealand’s squad for the ODI tri-series against Pakistan and South Africa beginning in Lahore on February 8. His inclusion is primarily as cover for Lockie Ferguson, who is currently playing in the ILT20 in the UAE.Duffy, 30, has played ten ODIs, and taken 18 wickets at an average of 25.94 and economy of 6.25. He recently took four wickets in two ODIs, and eight in three T20Is against Sri Lanka in a home series that ended earlier in January.The New Zealand squad departs for Pakistan on February 3 to play the tri-series followed by the Champions Trophy. Their two round-robin fixtures in the tri-series are in Lahore, against Pakistan on February 8 and South Africa on February 10. The final is in Karachi on February 14.New Zealand then play a Champions Trophy warm-up game against Afghanistan on February 16, followed by the tournament opener against Pakistan on February 19, with both those fixtures also being in Karachi.They then travel to Rawalpindi to play their second Group A fixture against Bangladesh on February 24, followed by a trip to Dubai for the game on March 2 against India, who are not playing any of their Champions Trophy matches in Pakistan because they did not get government clearance to travel.

Are Rangers on course for a return to the Champions League?

Having already dumped out Panathinaikos in the previous round, the Gers demolished Viktoria Plzeň 3-0 in the first leg of their third qualifying round tie on Tuesday night; new hero Djeidi Gassama scored twice, while Cyriel Dessers converted a penalty in first half stoppage time.

Thus, Russell Martin’s side will take a commanding lead to Stadion města Plzně next Tuesday, now likely to face Club Brugge in the play-off round, after the Belgian outfit beat Red Bull Salzburg 1-0 away from home in their first leg on Wednesday.

Even though the Light Blues have both Champions League and Scottish Premiership commitments during a very busy August, they remain active in the transfer market too, so could they sign a “talented” youngster from a Premier League giant?

Rangers continuing to reinforce

So far this summer, Rangers have made nine new signings, most recently bringing in Oliver Antman for a reported fee of £4m on Monday.

24 hours later, the Finnish international was thrown in for his debut against Viktoria Plzeň and certainly impressed, posing a constant threat all night, with European scouting expert Joost van der Leij asserting that they “robbed the living daylights out of Go Ahead Eagles”, getting such a high-quality player at a bargain price.

One position Martin has not yet strengthened is his goalkeepers, failing in attempts to sign Carl Rushworth from Brighton and Aaron Ramsdale from the new manager’s former club Southampton.

Thus, as reported by Dominik Schneider of FußballTransfers, Rangers “have joined the race” to sign Arsenal goalkeeper Karl Hein, with Sevilla amongst those also interested.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

The 23-year-old finds himself third-choice in North London, behind David Raya and new signing Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Last summer, manager Mikel Arteta stated that the youngster “needs to play games”, adding that he has “big potential and a big future ahead of him”, with Hein subsequently loaned out to Real Valladolid, so another loan move, this time to Govan, could be on the cards.

How Karl Hein would improve Rangers

Hein joined Arsenal from Meistriliiga side Nõmme United back in 2018, but has only featured once for the Gunners at senior level since then, starting a Carabao Cup tie against Brighton in November 2022.

He endured a pretty underwhelming loan spell at Reading earlier that year, appearing just five times for the Royals at EFL Championship level, but took a gigantic leap forward in his development in Spain last season.

During that aforementioned loan spell at Real Valladolid, Hein was their starting goalkeeper, racking up 32 appearances, earning plenty of praise for his performances, even though los Blanquivioletas finished rock-bottom of the table.

As the table outlines, while Hein did concede more goals than anyone else in La Liga last season, he did face the most expected goals too, given that Valladolid were largely hopeless, and other statistics make for more encouraging reading.

He ranked fourth for saves and fifth in terms of crosses stopped, making just one error resulting in an opposition goal.

Also, despite his lack of club experience, Hein does boast plenty at international level, having already accumulated 39 caps for Estonia since his debut five years ago, starting 22 of the Blueshirts’ last 23 competitive fixtures.

Chris Wheatley of the Sporting News labelled him a “talented goalkeeper”, while Josh James of Arsenal.com documents his ‘rapid development’, praising his ‘laser-like focus’ on improving every single day.

Meantime, following Real Madrid’s 3-0 victory over Valladolid last August, President Florentino Pérez praised the opposition’s “very good goalkeeper”, making six saves that afternoon at the Bernabéu.

So, could he become the latest loan star to arrive at Rangers from a Premier League giant and shine?

Well, the most recent player to do this was Ryan Kent, who impressed to such an extent during his loan period from Liverpool in 2018/19 that the Gers paid a reported fee of £7.5m to make the deal permanent, the second-most expensive signing in the club’s history, only surpassed by the £12m splashed to sign Tore André Flo in 2000.

Kent would go on to make 218 appearances for the Light Blues, scoring 33 goals and registering 56 assists, winning the Premiership title and a Scottish Cup, also a pivotal figure in the team that reached the Europa League Final in Seville.

Well, if Hein went on to have even half as successful a career as that in Glasgow, his signature would represent quite the coup.

Imagine him & Gassama: Rangers made approach for "hugely underrated" star

Rangers reportedly made an approach to sign a wing wizard who could be exciting alongside Djeidi Gassama.

ByDan Emery Aug 6, 2025

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank unceremoniously missed out on his second playmaker of the summer on Wednesday evening, so he is in dire need of some good news when it comes to recruitment.

Despite Spurs’ very advanced talks for Eberechi Eze, Arsenal swooped in to hijack Daniel Levy’s negotiations after Kai Havertz’s injury, and they swiftly shook hands on a deal with Palace overnight.

Tottenham were believed to have a verbal pact in place with Palace and agreed personal terms with Eze, so it looked like a matter of time before the north Londoners welcomed him to N17.

However, the decision ultimately came down to Eze, as both Spurs and Arsenal were prepared to meet Palace’s demands at club level.

The England international chose Arsenal due to his long-standing connection with them through his boyhood academy years at the club (Alasdair Gold), with Frank and Levy now back to square one in their pursuit of a number 10.

They’ve been in this position before this summer, with Morgan Gibbs-White also failing to seal what was once a very advanced move to Tottenham after Nottingham Forest blocked the deal.

With Spurs’ mission to sign a James Maddison replacement now set to continue with just 12 days to go until the transfer deadline on September 1, the Lilywhites also have other positions they need to reinforce.

Frank believes that Tottenham actually need two number 10s after Maddison’s long-term injury, but whether the Dane gets his wish is another matter.

Elsewhere, it is reliably reported that Spurs also want to sign a new winger and centre-back (Michael Bridge).

Brentford captain Nathan Collins and Bayer Leverkusen’s Piero Hincapie are among Tottenham’s defensive targets, while Man City winger Savinho is still being chased by Spurs despite Pep Guardiola’s side blocking the deal as of now (Fabrizio Romano).

Believe it or not, Brentford striker Yoane Wissa may also remain a possibility too.

Brentford "want to sell" Yoane Wissa to Tottenham as they delay Newcastle deal

According to The Mail’s Craig Hope, there is a feeling behind-the-scenes that the Bees are delaying their deal with Newcastle, having just rejected a second bid for the Congolese, because Brentford “want to sell” Wissa to Tottenham instead – due to their relationship with Frank.

The Dane would also be keen on signing his ex-star. However, any move for Wissa is dependent on revitalised centre-forward Richarlison leaving and a club meeting his minimum £50m valuation.

The Brazilian was actually offered as a makeweight in talks for Eze, as per this report, but that now won’t be happening.

Perhaps if they can offer out Richarlison in part-exchange for another playmaker, the door could reopen for Wissa, but for now, the 29-year-old has his “heart set” on a move to St. James’ Park.

He would be an excellent replacement for Richarlison, scoring 19 goals in the Premier League last season and earning plenty of praise from Frank in the past.

Southampton have entered talks over a deal for a “physically strong striker”, with negotiations now underway, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed.

Saints keen on new forward amid Dibling uncertainty

The emergence of Tyler Dibling was one of the only positives for the Saints last season, in what was a very disappointing Premier League campaign, but there is a great deal of uncertainty over the academy graduate’s future.

Will Still has now dropped a new update on the youngster’s future, with the manager admitting he doesn’t know whether the teenager will remain at St. Mary’s beyond the September 1st deadline.

Still said: “I want good players and if Ty is here (Tyler Dibling) and Matty is here by the end of it then great, if they’re not, we will work out a way of winning games without them and wish them the best but I have no idea where that’s going right now.”

The Saints could be about to land an exciting talent.

BySean Markus Clifford Aug 15, 2025

Should Dibling depart, Still may be keen to bring in at least one new attacker, and a preliminary contract has been offered to Krasnodar’s Eduard Spertsyan, while talks have also been opened over a deal for West Bromwich Albion star Tom Fellows.

Another forward has now entered the frame as a target for the Saints, and he’s a player Still knows very well, with Romano taking to X to reveal that Southampton have now opened talks over a deal for Lens’ Morgan Guilavogui.

The Saints’ negotiations to sign the forward are now “underway”, but they are yet to strike an agreement with Lens regarding a transfer fee.

The French club reportedly shelled out €4.5m (£4m) to re-sign their former player earlier this summer, however, which indicates a deal may not break the bank.

Guilavogui would be versatile attacking option for Still

Still should have a good knowledge of the Lens forward’s abilities, with the Saints boss spending time working with him during his stint at the French club, and he would be a versatile addition to the forward line.

The 27-year-old is capable of playing on both wings, suggesting he could be brought in as a direct replacement for Dibling, while the France born attacker has also been praised for his ability through the middle.

St Pauli manager Alexander Blessin said: “Morgan is a physically strong striker who is very active and direct and constantly making runs in deep. He can make chances for himself by taking defenders on and also creates good opportunities for his teammates.”

“Equally important for our game, however, is the fact that Morgan transitions quickly and works very hard defensively.”

Having scored 54 career goals at club level, including six in the Bundesliga last season, Guilavogui clearly has a keen eye for goal, and the former St Pauli man has the talent to play a major role in the Saints’ promotion push.
