Arsenal will have to play the North London derby in unfamiliar colours because of a kit clash.

‌The Premier League and PGMOL have told Arsenal they cannot wear their traditional red home kit because there is too much white on the back of the shirt and that will clash with Tottenham. Arsenal, who will now wear black, did ask the Premier League to wear their red shirt - but the request was refused and it has emerged the club were warned in the summer about the potential kit clash.

The kits are ordered well in advance so production was underway well before the issue popped up in the summer and Arsenal decided to press ahead anyway. It will be the first time in recent seasons either team has had to change colours but now Tottenham will have to wear their away kit in the reverse fixture at the Emirates.

Last season saw the first North London derby of the season held at Arsenal's home, with Spurs twice coming from behind to claim a 2-2 draw. The reverse fixture went the way of Mikel Arteta's side, who opened up a 3-0 half-time lead at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before eventually running out 3-2 winners.

Arsenal will go into the game with a number of players missing. Declan Rice is suspended following his red card in the draw with Brighton, while new signing Mikel Merino has been made to wait for his debut after picking up an injury in his first training session.

Riccardo Calafiori and Martin Odegaard also joined the injury list during the international break. Calafiori was forced off early in Italy's UEFA Nations League victory over France, later leaving the Azzurri's squad entirely.

Club captain Odegaard was injured while playing for Norway against Austria. The midfielder was seen boarding a plane while on crutches, and Arsenal face an anxious wait to learn the extent of his injury.

“It looked bad in the dressing room too," Norway manager Stale Solbakken said of Odegaard's injury. "He didn't have the nerve to continue. It is not certain that Arteta will call me tonight and praise me."

“He got a small ankle sprain," team doctor Ola Sand said, as reported by Norwegian broadcaster TV2. "We will see, maybe we use ultrasound to look at it. If we are unsure, there will be an MRI tomorrow."

The North London Derby kicks off a challenging run of matches for Arsenal as Arteta's team as they do battle on multiple fronts. It's followed by a Champions League game away to Atalanta, while Premier League games against Manchester City and Leicester City sit either side of an EFL Cup meeting with Bolton and October kicks off with a blockbuster European tie at home to Paris Saint-Germain.

Mauricio Pochettino could still return to Tottenham one day, despite his Chelsea tenure and prospective new US national team role.

That's according to one of his former defenders, Danny Rose, who believed that his old boss was all but certain to take up the vacant managerial position at White Hart Lane last summer before the eventual arrival of Ange Postecoglou - and may still have a homecoming.

Pochettino was let go by the north London outfit in 2019 after a Champions League final hangover and a more than stellar five-and-a-half-year stint at the helm of the Lilywhites. A one-year spell with PSG followed a couple of years later, and he was released after just a single season at his next club, Chelsea, in May.

The Argentinian has now reportedly taken a step into international management and is due to be announced as the man to lead the United States into the 2026 World Cup - but Rose believes that there may still be another chapter left to Pochettino's Spurs tale.

“I definitely thought that pre-Chelsea, [Mauricio] Pochettino could return to Tottenham," Rose told In The Zone podcast, speaking about his former boss.

"I don't think that him going to Chelsea for a year hinders that happening again in the future. Although it’s another four years (sic) until the next World Cup and hopefully, he's going to see it out with managing the USA.

“Of course, anything can happen in the next four years, but before he went to Chelsea, I thought it was nailed on that he probably would have gone to Spurs before Ange. I still believe that he will return to Tottenham as manager one day.”

Spurs fans will likely, irrespective of their old manager agreeing to join a bitter rival, remember times under Pochettino fondly. When the ex-Southampton boss became their head coach in 2014, many thought he would become just another along the conveyor belt - as he was their 10th manager in just 12 years.

However, he guided them to Premier League contention in just a single season and developed some key names during this period, including aiding Harry Kane’s transition into one of the world's best marksmen and Dele Alli into an attacking force to be reckoned with.

He helped Tottenham to their highest finish in 54 years, coming second during an impressive 2016/17 season. In said term, they went the entire campaign unbeaten at White Hart Lane in fairytale fashion before it was demolished to make way for the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The club's dramatic run to the Champions League final in 2019 was the epitome of his spell at the reins, but the subsequent 2-0 loss to Liverpool was seemingly too difficult to recover from.

Despite the bitter nature of Pochettino's departure, Rose remains confident that one day, he will return to the club where he was once so beloved.

Danny Rose has revealed that he took a verbal bashing from his England team-mates about his weekly wage at Tottenham.

Rose retired earlier this year after spending the majority of his career at Spurs, with stints at other clubs largely confined to loan spells across his 14-year spell in north London. The 34-year-old also featured heavily in England's run to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup, and is regarded as one of the country's best left-backs over the course of the last 15 years or so.

However, during one particular training camp with his country, Rose found that his pay packet at Spurs wasn't near to some of his England team-mates - something which saw him take quite a ribbing.

Speaking on the In The Zone podcast, Rose said: "When we would go away with England, the lads would laugh at us at what we're being paid. And I have one friend who was at another club.

"I remember one season where West Brom were fighting relegation while we were near the top and some of their players were on more than what we were on. That wasn't right. With Spurs and win bonuses, you had to win by at least a couple of goals to get a bonus from it.

"At the time, I don't regret saying anything about it because it was the truth but now I think the lads are being paid appropriately."

Rose was at Tottenham for 14 years but signed a five-year in 2016 which is believed to have seen him earn around £65,000 per week. He told The Sun in 2017: "As with everyone else in my team, in my opinion, I am worth more than I am getting. In any walk of life, if you think you are worth a certain amount, why settle for less? I am not that person.

"If I get to levels I reached last season — and this goes out to everybody — I will make sure I get what I am worth."

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is known to have kept a tight leash on the club's wage structure, particularly while their new 62,850 seat capacity stadium was being built. That changed in 2018 when Spurs opted to double Harry Kane's wages in an unprecedented move, tying him down to a new six-year deal at the time.

Rose, meanwhile, eventually moved on a free transfer from Tottenham to Watford in the summer of 2021 on a one-year contract. He was released in 2022 and announced his retirement earlier this summer.

Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman has told Steven Bergwijn that his international career is over.

The former Tottenham Hotspur forward completed a move from Ajax to Saudi side Al Ittihad on Monday. Al Ittihad paid Ajax £21million for the winger, and are handing Bergwijn a deal worth £7million per year.

But ex-Southampton, Everton and Barcelona boss Koeman has been left furious by the player's decision, insists he wasn't consulted on it and claims the decision is one taken purely based on money - and therefore won't be picking Bergwijn again.

“The book is basically closed,” said a defiant Koeman, speaking at a press conference on Tuesday. “I think that when you’re 26, the ambition should be sporting and not financial.

"He could have stayed at Ajax, that’s not bad either. And I think they pay pretty well there too. Anyway, everyone has a different view and it’s their choice. I personally wouldn’t have made it.”

When quizzed on whether Bergwijn had spoken to him about the move, Koeman insisted he had not - and reckoned that the reason he hadn't was because he knew the Oranje boss would have been set against it.

"I think he would have known what I would have said," said Koeman.

Bergwijn, who has 35 international caps, has duly been left out of the squad for the upcoming Nations League matches against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Germany.

But it was pointed out to Koeman that ex-Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum WAS part of the Dutch squad at Euro 2024, despite plying his trade for Steven Gerrard at Saudi side Al Ettifaq.

But Koeman waved away suggestions of a double standard, adding: “He had problems at Paris Saint Germain and this was the only opportunity for him to play. In addition, there is a difference in age.”

Tottenham finished fourth in the transfer spending table - and that puts them under pressure to finish there in the Premier League.

Spurs have almost gone under the radar as big spenders in the transfer market again as chairman Daniel Levy has backed another manager to get the team into the Champions League. Anyone could see the progress Ange Postecoglou made last season - but after more heavy investment the targets have been raised this season.

According to Soccerbase, they have spent £532m on transfers in the last four seasons topped off this summer with a £65m deal for Dominic Solanke. Of course that has been offset with some big-name departures during that time, most notably England captain Harry Kane to Bayern Munich for £90m last summer.

And in fairness, the net spend table in the past five years actually leaves them fourth behind only top spenders Chelsea (£832m), Manchester United (£547m) and Arsenal (£469m). Tottenham ’s net spend since the 2020/21 season has been an eye-watering £458m with the likes of Solanke, Richarlison, Brennan Johnson, Cristian Romero and James Maddison among the big buys.

When they finished top of a recent survey of being the best run club in the Premier League, there were a few raised eyebrows because it begged the question: but what about the trophies? There is a £1billion stadium which is among the best in world football and they have won plaudits for community work and fan connection.

Levy has a reputation for being cautious and careful in the market - but actually the figures tell a different story and there is a clear pressure this season to get back in the Champions League. Solanke’s deal could total £65m and shows a level of ambition to sign an England hopeful to score the goals to get them back into European football’s elite competition.

But it also puts pressure on Postecoglou who has insisted Spurs will never sign a £100m player - but, equally, they do spend big. After a storming start to last season, Tottenham tailed off badly and fans were left frustrated again.

But now they have put themselves among the Prem’s big spenders, admittedly dwarfed by Chelsea’s crazy outgoings, but they are certainly not holding back in the market. Incredibly, Manchester City turned a profit this summer as they allowed Julian Alvarez, Joao Cancelo and Taylor Harwood-Bellis to go for big fees but only spent £21.4m on Brazil winger Savinho while Ilkay Gundogan arrived on a free.

Chelsea carried on spending and their outlay under owner Todd Boehly now exceeds £1.3billion and they had to be creative in their deals. And that is reflected throughout the Premier League with a vast number of loans - and a sharp rise in loans with an obligation to buy.

Jadon Sancho was a classic example of that type of deal - moving from Manchester United to Chelsea - which effectively allows clubs to do a transfer on the never-never. It pushes over the main cost into the next window.

Arsenal signed Raheem Sterling on a pure loan and Chelsea will also pay the majority of his wages which just goes to show that Boehly needs to balance the books. Ipswich have rolled the dice in splashing out over £100m to get themselves into the Premier League routine.

And it means that the total outlay in the Premier League was £1.96billion which is well down on last summer’s record of £2.4billion. But it does raise the question as to why the Premier League cannot reach a deal with the EFL even if league bosses insist the deals help the football world keep turning.

Prem spending was similar to 2022 and around half was spent on domestic deals and around 15 per cent going to EFL clubs. There was also an emphasis on younger players moving. But the overall spend was around DOUBLE of the next highest European league, Serie A.

They may not have signed a new star during the transfer window - but Alexander Isak remains a gem.

Against the odds, and all logic shown by the statistics, Isak struck late to give Newcastle a barely deserved win. Spurs had racked up 20 shots on goal, 49 touches in Newcastle’s box and were threatening to run riot and get a winner of their own.

Except Isak, and a resilient, more defensive, soak-up-the-pressure Newcastle has other ideas. Unbeaten Newcastle have become grinders, rather than entertainers. Playing in second gear, not dominating the ball, letting rivals impose themselves.

But four games in they are unbeaten, frustrating a livelier Spurs side, and retaining a ruthlessness on the break that wins games. Newcastle have scored three goals at home this season from four shots on target.

No wonder Yves Bissouma left the field and shouted: “F***” as he was subbed. The killer moment came after 78 minutes when Joelinton spun his man in his own half and played a visionary through ball to sprinting sub Jacob Murphy. He sped into the box and squared for Isak to tap home.

It has been a troubled week for the Geordies with the club failing to land a big-name signing, namely top target Marc Guehi in deadline week. The club’s transfer strategy has seen the backing for Eddie Howe questioned, and the ambition of the Saudi owners, almost three years into their reign, debated.

Saudi PIF chief Yasir Al-Rumayyan turned up to watch for the first time this season, along with key PIF investment decision-makers Asma Rezeeq and Jacobo Solis, who oversee operations at St James’ Park. They will have both enjoyed, and been worried, by what they saw.

United took the lead. Barnes had to battle for a start and Howe moved Anthony Gordon to the right of attack to accommodate him. The former Leicester man has a good goals record and his finish here was expert, opening his body to guide Lloyd Kelly’s cutback into the far corner.

It was against the run of play with Spurs looking the most accomplished and positive on the ball. Newcastle sat deep under pressure and weathered an early storm. They needed two good saves from Nick Pope, one with his legs the other a palm around the post, to keep out two shots from Pape Sarr.

Spurs swarmed on Newcastle’s goal in the first half, breaking well and stretching the home side. Isak had the first good chance though, robbing Son Heung-Min on the touchline, cutting inside and hitting the bar with his cross. After the break Spurs upped their game and got level.

They had the home side on the rack. Wilson Odobert kneed over the bar from two yards. Son then ran unchallenged into the Toon box and only a great block tackle from Dan Burn saved a goal.

Then came the equaliser. James Maddison livened up and skipped down the left and shot. Recalled England keeper Nick Pope pushed away but not into touch. Sub Brennan Johnson, who changed the tempo of the game and Spurs’ threat, pounced to shoot goalward. Dan Burn turned into his own net.

Newcastle struggled to keep possession. Pope’s distribution was poor, kicking the ball away at least four times. Sub Jacob Murphy was robbed twice in dangerous territory. Pope did conjure a brilliant top corner save from Maddison, then from Pedro Porro.

Johnson scooped over after a neat control in the box. It was all Spurs. Howe was frustrated, and wondering how to stem the tide. Then came Newcastle’s break away out of the blue. Game over.

After the game the Saudi bosses visited the dressing room, and Newcastle co-owner Jamie Reuben wrote on X: “We have a brilliant manager, group of players and together with management - ownership is committed to delivering the highest levels of football at @nufc for our supporters who give up so much of their time and money to support this great football.”

Newcastle's fixture against Tottenham was delayed on Sunday afternoon after linesman Ian Hussin sustained an injury.

Hussin, who was running the line, signalled to referee Robert Jones that he had a problem around halfway through the first-half at St James' Park.

The match was then halted for several minutes as changes were made with fourth official Darren Bond eventually swapping positions with Hussin, who could be seen grimacing on the sidelines.

The delay in proceedings gave both teams an opportunity to take on additional instructions from their benches as Bond was given a small window to warm up.

Neither Newcastle nor Tottenham had managed to find a breakthrough before the delay and they continued their in their efforts to do so after the restart.

It was the hosts who found the breakthrough just before the half-time interval through Harvey Barnes, who produced a slick first-time finish after being teed up neatly by Lloyd Kelly.

Barnes' strike was the perfect tonic following a frustrating few days on Tyneside for the Magpies, who were unable to add to their squad on transfer deadline day.

Long-term target Marc Guehi was expected to head north following weeks of negotiations with Crystal Palace, only for the Londoners to stand firm on Newcastle's top summer target.

And there was further frustration on deadline day itself when Nottingham Forest refused to entertain the idea of selling former Manchester United winger Anthony Elanga following an eleventh hour approach from their Premier League rivals.

One of the most intriguing deals on deadline day involved a player who didn't actually go anywhere.

Tottenham Hotspur managed to strike two interconnected agreements with Spanish club Real Betis just before the transfer window closed until January. The first deal was fairly standard, with Giovani Lo Celso returning to the La Liga side after failing to make his mark in north London following his £27million transfer in January 2020.

After spending the last season-and-a-half on loan at Villarreal and not fitting into Ange Postecoglou's plans, his exit was expected, albeit for what seems to be a surprisingly low fee of £3million. However, this is a nominal figure linked to Tottenham's other deal with Betis, which has raised eyebrows. Spurs have reportedly secured a 'priority option' on highly-rated US international midfielder Johnny Cardoso.

This means they will have first dibs to sign the 22-year-old for £25.2million in the future. But that's not all. Spurs are also said to have negotiated a sell-on clause for Cardoso, meaning they would receive a portion of the fee if the player signs for another club.

As a result, Tottenham could financially gain from the sale of a player who never even kicks a ball for the club. However, given Cardoso's growing reputation, both domestically and internationally, it would be surprising if Spurs don't exercise their option to sign him.

Postecoglou, with a surplus of midfielders at his disposal, isn't in a rush. Tottenham have kept quiet on the Cardoso deal and are not expected to break their silence.

Premier League fans might find the agreement out of the ordinary, but such deals are more commonplace elsewhere in the footballing world. This strategy could keep Spurs ahead in the race for a player who has also caught the eye of heavyweights like Barcelona and AC Milan.

HAVE YOUR SAY! What do you think of this deal? Tell us in the comments section below.

Cardoso, known as 'Johnny' on his shirt, may play for the US team but his roots are in Brazil. Born in New Jersey to Brazilian parents seeking a better future in the States, they returned to Brazil after he was born.

Before his transfer to Betis earlier this year, where he quickly became a key player, he racked up 144 appearances for Internacional. Despite his dual heritage, choosing to represent the US over Brazil was a no-brainer for Cardoso.

"When the chance came to play for the US, I didn't think twice," he said via The Athletic. "I'm representing a country that my parents love."

Cardoso's reputation as a no-nonsense defensive midfielder suggests he could bring some much-needed grit to Tottenham's squad if he ever dons the iconic white shirt.

If Craig Bellamy were Tottenham Hotspur manager, he insists there is no doubt that he would have signed Brennan Johnson.

“Would I have paid £50 odd million? Yes. And more,” the new Wales national team head coach said. “So that gives you a certain level of what I see with this player. I’m looking forward to that as well.”

Bellamy’s vote of confidence of the 23-year-old winger arrives at a time when the success of Johnson’s first season in north London and his ongoing influence in the Wales national team has become a popular topic for adjudication.

Johnson, who joined Spurs from Nottingham Forest last summer, became a target for grumbling discontent in pockets of the Spurs and Wales fan bases amid stagnating results. Many in north London viewed the £47.5million paid for his services as indication of ready-made superstardom, despite the significant step-up in demands.

An initial plan of integration under manager Ange Postecoglou was derailed amid injuries to Ivan Perisic and Manor Solomon. Johnson was thrust into the deep end earlier than expected, leaving him looking bereft of confidence by late January amid increasing scrutiny of his performances, which saw him supply just four assists and one goal in 18 Premier League appearances.

A spell on the bench revived Johnson’s season, and the Wales international went on to register five goals and 10 assists by the season’s end, including a memorable 96th-minute winner against Brighton & Hove Albion. Only Son Heung-min had more goal contributions for Spurs in the Premier League, while only Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins (13) and Chelsea ’s Cole Palmer (11) claimed more assists.

And Bellamy believes time was needed for Johnson to adjust to the rigours of the English top-flight, as well as the tactical demands of Postecoglou’s system (Johnson was afforded attacking carte blanche under former Forest boss Steve Cooper).

“As a young player going to big clubs, it's not easy,” said the former Newcastle United striker. “It takes time sometimes. Because the expectation goes up and the competition goes up. And some players really get to it straight away, like a duck to water. Off they go. And then some take a little bit longer.

“But I believe if you really have that genuine quality it will come. It comes out like it always comes out in the end.

“I see a player that has way more. And I'm sure it's going to come up very very soon.”

His prediction will be seized upon not only by eager Tottenham fans but Wales fans as well. If Johnson was a victim of expectations at club level, the same could be argued on the national stage, where Johnson was hoped to carry on the talismanic torch after Gareth Bale’s retirement.

Johnson’s return of just three goals and three assists in 30 games has been a sticking point for many Wales supporters, particularly after the failed Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, the first campaign in 15 years without the mastery of Bale.

Bale reached Johnson’s current tally of three goals and three assists by his 27th senior Wales cap, albeit having played significantly more minutes than Johnson. By his 30th cap, the Real Madrid legend had registered five assists and three goals. The haul rose to 10 goals and 11 assists by his 40th appearance, before Bale eventually became the national team’s all-time record goalscorer with 40 in a record 111 appearances.

Bale, too, trundled through a slow start to his Tottenham career, abetted by his assignment as a left-back under manager Harry Redknapp. Yet, the five-time Champions League winner would eventually go on to be one of the club’s greatest-ever players and responsible for one of the Premier League’s most scintillating individual seasons in recent history.

A fiery and uncompromising goalscorer in the Premier League, Bellamy’s appointment as the new head of Wales has been met with anticipation over his potential guidance in Johnson’s trajectory.

Johnson has often been charged by Wales fans as not only failing to impact games on big occasions but a lax workrate off the ball, a spectre Bellamy is unlikely to entertain. Bellamy described his playing philosophy as a balance of “love” and “non-negotiables”. The alchemy could be precisely what’s required to get the most out of a player Wales fans have long tipped as their next salvation.

“I have certain beliefs in the sense that this is what I like and this is what I really would prefer you to be able to do - especially off the ball, then I'm a little bit more non-negotiable,” Bellamy said. “But with the ball, I'm quite caring, more about love. I need you to feel free. If you give the ball away and you're hearing me in the background yelling, that's not going to improve you. It's not going to help you get the ball next time.

"I'm supportive. Because I need those decisions. I need you to be you. And you're only here because of you. Because you're a good player, otherwise you wouldn't be here. So why not allow you to be the best you can be? I can't put shackles on.”

Asked whether this approach would aid a player like Johnson, he said: “I would hope so. I know it's what I would like to hear. Even though I carried myself as very confident, and at times I definitely was, but deep down there was always doubt. It's normal.

"I see a player in Brennan who's an incredible footballer. He hits all the marks you'd want him to hit. I believe there's so much more to come.

"And I'd like to be able to see that with Wales as well. I'm sure we will. Because what he can offer he's elite. Really elite. Now maybe he needs to be a little bit more selfish, a little bit more ruthless to back the ability he has. And that's exciting for me as well.”

Manchester United will begin their Europa League league phase campaign against Erik ten Hag'sn old employers Twente, with their trip to face Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce coming on matchday three.

Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham have also discovered the order in which they will face their opponents, with Qarabag at home first up. Those fans making the short trip to Glasgow for the match against Rangers will do so on December 12, with Roma coming to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium two weeks before that.

United qualified for this season's Europa League after their FA Cup final win, having finished down in eighth in the Premier League. Spurs made it into the competition after finishing fifth in their first season under Postecoglou.

This is the first season with the Europa League's new league phase, replacing the group stage which was previously in place. All teams will play eight times, with standings in the overall table determining which teams make the knockout rounds.

A trip to Porto is arguably United's toughest test on paper, and that match will take place on October 3. They will round off their league phase campaign against FCSB, in one of two matches taking place after the turn of the year.

Spurs will be at home in their final league phase outing, with Swedish side Elfsborg coming to North London. Their tricky away games include Galatasaray on November 7 and Hoffenheim on January 23.

Earlier in the day, the four Premier League teams in Champions League action learned the order in which they will play their eight league phase matches. Manchester City against Inter Milan - a repeat of the 2023 final - is one of the standout fixtures in the opening round of games.

United's opening match could be an emotional one for manager Ten Hag. He spent a chunk of his playing career with Twente, before later working as a coach at the Dutch club when Steve McClaren was manager.

The first league phase games will be played on September 25, with the final games seeing loose ends wrapped up on January 30. The teams finishing in the top eight will go straight through to the round of 16, with those placed between ninth and 24th playing off for a place in the knockout stages.
