Here are five things we saw during Tottenham’s 2-0 win over Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Tottenham returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Brentford on Sunday afternoon. Following Thursday’s Europa League victory over Elfsborg, Ange Postecoglou made a few changes to his Tottenham XI, bringing in Antonin Kinsky, Djed Spence, Yves Bissouma, and Dejan Kulusevski. Mikey Moore, an exciting teenager, kept his position in the lineup, although Micky van de Ven did not make the matchday roster. Spurs took the lead on 29 minutes thanks to Vitaly Janelt’s own…

Leeds United are still looking to recruit Cameron Archer on loan from Southampton before tomorrow’s deadline, despite the Saints rejecting an early bid from Daniel Farke’s side. Ben Jacobs originally described the Whites’ interest, while Alex Crook of talkSPORT reported that a proposal had been rejected by the Premier League’s lowest club. Crook now claims that he is still high on their desire list as the market approaches its final day. The Saints recruited Archer from former club Aston Villa for £15 million last summer, but he has fallen out of favour in Hampshire, making only 10 Premier League games.…
One of Leeds United’s reported January targets was spotted arriving in his new location ahead of a medical on Sunday morning, but he is not heading to Thorp Arch. Instead, German giants Borussia Dortmund will be tasked with keeping Daniel Svensson on track to become one of Europe’s most exciting young full-backs. Leeds have been connected with the seven-time Sweden international, among the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, RB Leipzig and Liverpool. But, in a weekend in which Junior Firpo delivered a timely reminder of his skills, Svensson took one important step towards becoming a Dortmund player. On Saturday, reports…
Newcastle United are likely to be looking to sign a player before the transfer window ends on Monday (3 February). That is the opinion of former Manchester City finance consultant Stefan Borson, who exclusively told Football Insider that he does not feel the Tyneside club’s profit and sustainability (PSR) position is the reason they missed out on signing Abdukodir Khusanov, Vitor Reis, and Juma Bah. Newcastle are believed to have pursued moves for the three defenders, all of whom joined Manchester City in January. Eddie Howe’s team is failed to agree on any new additions in the current window because…
If Arne Slot had his way, the athletic center-back could have played for Liverpool. Micky van de Ven has publicly pondered about the twist of fate that could have resulted in his wearing a Liverpool jersey if things had gone differently with Arne Slot. Prior to his Premier League tenure, the current Reds manager attempted unsuccessfully to sign Van de Ven when at AZ Alkmaar and Feyenoord, as the sought defender chose Wolfsburg ahead of time. Van de Ven reflected on the lost connections, saying, “Arne Slot wanted to sign me for AZ after seeing me play in the first…
Nottingham Forest thrashed Brighton 7-0 at the City Ground Sunday, rebounding strongly from a heavy defeat at Bournemouth the previous weekend. Chris Wood scored a hat trick throughout the contest. Jude Bellingham hailed Forest striker Wood after the win, which brought his season record to 17 goals. Stuart Pearce praised Anthony Elanga after the game. The Swedish forward contributed three assists to the Reds’ triumph and is currently in excellent form. It’s difficult to imagine anyone being upset with yesterday’s performance. Some former players appear to have been impressed, with Brice Samba paying close attention to the contest. Brice Samba…
Nottingham Forest resumed their winning ways with a 7-0 victory over Brighton at the City Ground. Bournemouth beat the Reds 5-0 last weekend. As a result, several sceptics believed that the bubble had burst, but yesterday’s performance demonstrated that this is not the case. Forest will now shift their focus to strengthening the team. A lot of players are being considered ahead of the transfer deadline, and it will be interesting to see what Forest can do. Of course, many connections will lead nowhere. Now, a player who has been associated with Forest for the past month appears to be…
The transfer window began, at Leeds United, with talk about centre-halves and potential signings in the number 10 role. However, with the deadline approaching in only one day, the attention appears to have shifted. To center-forwards, no less. Leeds United welcomed back Ethan Ampadu after a protracted absence, and as Daniel Farke dismisses concerns over Pascal Struijk’s fitness – he will resume training next week – the Championship leaders suddenly do not feel as vulnerable at the back. Meanwhile, Farke made it clear that he wanted an aggressive midfielder. However, with Emi Buendia opting to join Bayer Leverkusen on loan…
Michael Gannon believes Rangers will complete the permanent signing of current loanee Vaclav Cerny after the Czech winger impressed at Ibrox. In terms of prominent players, Cerny has regularly impressed for Rangers, but he will return to his parent club Wolfsburg this summer. However, Gannon has urged the Light Blues to change that and complete the permanent purchase of the winger in a multi-million-pound deal, following reports that Wolfsburg will demand a £6.75 million fee for his sale [Scottish Sun, 1 February pg 69]. In his column in the print edition of Sunday Mail (2 February, pg62), Gannon said: “If…
Rangers transfer target Aaron Anselmino has frustratingly agreed to a loan move to Marseille. The clock is ticking for the Gers if they are to make any further additions to their side before the winter window slams shut on Monday (3 February). The only signing that has been completed at Ibrox so far is a temporary switch for Lille defender Rafael Fernandes. With that being said, Philippe Clement may be keen to add another defender to his squad but has been dealt a fresh blow with little time remaining until deadline day. Rangers target Aaron Anselmino agrees to Chelsea exit The Light Blues made a late…
