ISAK IS THE MATCHWINNER AS NEWCASTLE EDGE OUT TOTTENHAM

Alexander Isak struck the winner as Newcastle United beat Tottenham 2-1 in a lively encounter at St James’ Park.

Eddie Howe’s men broke the deadlock on 37 minutes when Harvey Barnes produced an excellent first-time finish to convert Lloyd Kelly’s cross from the left.

Tottenham dominated following the restart and deservedly levelled when Dan Burn bundled substitute Brennan Johnson’s cross-shot into his own net.

Ange Postecoglou’s men were utterly dominant but could not make it count on the scoreboard with James Maddison, Wilson Odobert and Johnson all going close.

Newcastle then made them pay with a lightning counter-attack 12 minutes from time as substitute Jacob Murphy set up Isak to roll home.

The result means The Magpies have won their first two home matches in a Premier League season for the first time since 2000/01 and moves them up to fourth spot with seven points from three outings.

Tottenham suffer their first loss of the league campaign and sit 10th.

Next up, Newcastle visit Wolves on Sunday September 15 after the international break while Tottenham host neighbours Arsenal.

A typical Jamie Vardy goal, in typically adverse Jamie Vardy circumstances, earned Leicester a point after Pedro Porro had put a dominant Tottenham in front. Vardy, now 37, only persuaded his body to play because Patson Daka was injured, but no one will be surprised that once there, he made his presence felt.

Looking at the teams before kick-off it was hard to envisage how this could be a contest, and the first half was not: Spurs dominated from start to finish. But they created relatively few chances and had to settle for just one goal, Pedro Porro trying with a back header and succeeding with his back, sending James Maddison’s teasing cross past Mads Hermansen.

There was no sense whatsoever that Leicester could take something from the game, but they were more aggressive after the break, both in and out of possession. Nevertheless, an equaliser did not look imminent and then one arrived, Vardy heading home after good work from Victor Kristiansen and Issahaku Fatawu.

After that Leicester were the better side, Vardy missing the kind of chance he has made a career out of snaffling. But then Rodrigo Bentancur sustained a head injury, the match stopped for nine minutes, and never quite reigned its momentum – thankfully Bentancur is now sitting up and talking. So Spurs return to London wondering quite how they managed to avoid winning while Leicester, haunted by the spectre of points deduction, may feel just a little more optimistic about the season ahead.

Oliver Skipp has left Tottenham Hotspur after 16 years at the club, joining newly promoted Leicester City in a deal reportedly worth upwards of £20 million.

The 23-year-old midfielder becomes Steve Cooper's sixth summer signing as The Foxes' bid to remain in the Premier League after a one-season absence gathers pace.

Joining former Spurs midfielder Harry Winks in Leicester's ranks, Skipp signed a five-year contract with the 2016 Premier League champions.

Leicester begin their Premier League return at home to Skipp's former side Tottenham on Monday evening, but the club confirmed that although the midfielder would be in attendance at the King Power Stadium, he would not play, instead being available to make his debut in their second outing, a trip to Craven Cottage to face Fulham next weekend.

Speaking to the club website, Skipp said: “I’m really excited to sign. I’ve got the feeling that it’s a good group of people and a good group of players. I’m sure that we’ve got a squad capable of challenging in every game.

"You look around the squad and there’s lots of exciting players who have played in the Premier League and I’m really excited to see what this group can achieve.

“I had conversations with the people here and they gave me a feeling of warmth and that they were excited to have me on board. As a player, when you feel that excitement, that’s something you can use to develop your game.

"The staff here know me as well - Steve [Cooper], I have worked with at England so there’s definitely a good relationship there and I’m keen to push on and show what I can do.”

Skipp was picked up by Tottenham in 2008 before coming all the way through their youth academy. He would go on to make his debut as an 18-year-old in a League Cup clash against West Ham a decade later.

The defensive midfielder went on to make 84 appearances at Spurs, scoring his only goal in a 2-0 home win over Chelsea last year.

Skipp was deemed surplus to requirements at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after the summer arrival of former Leeds midfielder Archie Gray, who signed for £30 million in early July.

Aside from making Abdul Fatawu's loan from Sporting CP permanent, Leicester have moved for Caleb Okoli, Michael Golding, Bobby Decordova-Reid and Facundo Buonanotte so far this summer.

Emerson Royal has left Tottenham to join AC Milan. The full-back has put pen to paper on a four-year contract in Italy, while the club also hold the option of a 12-month extension. It is believed the deal has cost the Rossoneri around £13 million. He took to Instagram to say "thank you for everything" to Spurs as he brought to an end a three-year stay in North London after making 101 appearances.

Tottenham have confirmed the departure of Emerson Royal, with the defender joining AC Milan for a reported fee of around £13 million after three years in North London.

It brings to a close a drawn-out transfer saga after the Italian club spent most of the summer pursuing the full-back.

But he has now completed his switch to the San Siro and could make his debut in Saturday's Serie A curtain-raiser against Torino.

"We wish Emerson all the best for the future," Spurs said in a short statement as they announced the move.

Royal first joined Tottenham in 2021, arriving on the final day of the summer transfer window from Barcelona.

He went on to make 101 appearances over the subsequent three years, scoring four goals in the process.

The 25-year-old, who was born in Sao Paolo, has also won 10 caps for Brazil.

Writing on Instagram, he expressed his gratitude to Spurs, saying: "Thank you for everything...you will always [be] in my heart."

Responding to a further post from Tottenham striker Richarlison, he added: "I will always root for your success."

Milan had a bid in the region of £8.5m rejected for Royal earlier in the transfer window.

However, their interest in him did not cool, and he has now put pen to paper on a four-year deal in Italy, while the club have the option of a 12-month extension.

He will wear the No. 22 shirt at the San Siro, and becomes their third signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Alvaro Morata and Strahinja Pavlovic.

Tottenham Hotspur have officially announced the record signing of hotshot striker Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth in a deal worth up to £65 million.

The 26-year-old joins the club on a contract until 2030, becoming Spurs' most expensive signing of all time, above the capture of Tanguy Ndombele for £63m from Lyon.

Solanke's move also makes it a record sale for The Cherries, who parted with Nathan Ake for £40m in the summer of 2020.

The English forward will join Spurs for an initial £55m with £10m in add-ons, according to reports.

The former Liverpool forward enjoyed a historic campaign for Bournemouth in 2023/24, netting 19 times in the Premier League - the most top-flight goals in a single season by any player in the club's history.

Ange Postecoglou will hope Solanke can transfer his sparkling form from the south coast to north London, having scored 58 goals across all competitions over the last three seasons.

Spurs announced the deal with an anime-inspired video, following Solanke's penchant for goal celebrations based on anime last season - such as wearing a mask from the show Naruto.

Solanke began his career at Stamford Bridge, moving through the academy and becoming Chelsea's youngest player to feature in the Champions League, aged 17, before a spell at Liverpool en route to Bournemouth.

He played a key role in ensuring promotion for The Cherries to the top flight and in keeping them there over the past couple of seasons, featuring in every league game for the side in 2023/24.

The Englishman becomes Spurs' third summer signing after the purchases of midfielder Archie Gray from Leeds United and Lucas Bergvall from Swedish side Djurgarden.

Spurs have also agreed a deal for teenage winger Min-hyeok Yang, who will leave South Korea's Gangwon FC in January.

Tottenham now have three main options at centre-forward, with loanee Timo Werner and Brazilian Richarlison competing with Solanke for a starting berth.

Harry Kane: Vincent Kompany confirms striker will miss Bayern Munich's pre-season clash against Tottenham Hotspur

Published 23/07/2024 at 15:20 GMT

Harry Kane has been ruled out of Bayern Munich’s pre-season game against Tottenham Hotspur on August 3 in South Korea. The Englishman left Spurs for the German giants last summer, but despite scoring 44 goals in all competitions, Bayern failed to lift a trophy. Kane scored three times as England reached the Euro 2024 final before losing 2-1 to Spain.

Vincent Kompany has confirmed that Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane will miss the pre-season game against his former club Tottenham Hotspur on August 3 in South Korea.

Kane enjoyed a successful first season individually in Germany, scoring 44 goals in all competitions, although Bayern were beaten to the Bundesliga title by Bayer Leverkusen.

The 30-year-old scored three goals to help England reach the final of Euro 2024 where they were beaten by Spain but was largely ineffective throughout the tournament in Germany.

He picked up a back injury in the build-up, while it was widely accepted that his style didn’t suit Gareth Southgate’s preferred way of playing.

Bayern will look to bounce back from a disappointing campaign under new manager Kompany following the departure of Thomas Tuchel.

They continue their pre-season preparation with a game against German side Duren before travelling to South Korea to take on Spurs.

The two sides will meet again a week later on August 10 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but Kompany hinted a return for the game against SSV Ulm in the first round of DFB Cup on August 16 is more likely.

“Harry Kane, Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano and Kingsley Coman won’t be there, but then hopefully for the first cup game,” Kompany said at a news conference.

Kane left Spurs as the club’s record goal-scorer, having found the net 280 times in all competitions.

He opted to depart in an effort to win trophies before hanging up his boots, but Bayern failed to land any silverware in an underwhelming 2023/24 season.
