One Tottenham youngster made an instant impact off the bench on Monday, scoring within 60 seconds for England U19s.

It was an evening to remember for England’s senior side, who sealed qualification to the World Cup with a 5-0 win over Latvia, while the English youngsters also enjoyed a comfortable win over Wales.

Mikey Moore was the star of the show for England U19s against Belgium over the weekend, with the 18-year-old netting a hat-trick as they emerged 4-1 winners.

The Tottenham Hotspur man dropped to the substitutes bench against Wales at La Quinta Football Centre, but it did not take him long to make his mark on the game when he was introduced.

Tottenham youngster Mikey Moore scores yet another goal for England’s U19s

Moore entered the proceedings at 67 minutes alongside his club teammate Callum Olusesi, and the attacking midfielder found the back of the net less than 60 seconds after his introduction.

The Spurs teenager’s goal made it 5-0 for his side, but England still had time to score two more late goals, handing the Welsh a 7-0 drubbing.

Moore will return to Rangers high on confidence after his impressive showing for the Young Lions, and he will hope that the change in management at the Scottish club changes his fortunes.

Should Spurs recall Moore from Rangers?

Things have not gone according to plan at Ibrox for Moore, who Tottenham are reportedly considering recalling in January.

Several Championship clubs are already circling over Moore ahead of January, and it is not hard to see why, with the winger once again showcasing his outstanding quality during the international break.

This experience in Scotland will certainly be a character-building experience for the Tottenham academy graduate, who is now waiting to find out who will replace Russel Martin at the helm.

Tottenham are battling another European heavyweight for a highly-rated Argentine centre-back, who is making waves in South America.

It has been widely reported that signing a top-class defender is a priority for Spurs in January, and that is understandable, given the fitness record of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven.

Some big Premier League names, such as March Guehi, have been linked with Spurs, while some sources have mooted Jarrad Branthwaite as a target for Tottenham.

However, a new report has now claimed that Tottenham Hotspur could turn their attention to a rising star in Argentine football instead.

Tottenham are battling La Liga giants for River Plate starlet Lautaro Rivero

This report comes from El Intransigente, who explain that River Plate are going through a sticky patch at the moment.

However, the performances of defender Lautaro Rivero have been a bright spot for the Argentine club, with the centre-back’s stock ascending rapidly.

Lautaro Rivero’s displays have not gone unnoticed in Europe, with Tottenham and Atletico Madrid both eyeing moves for the 21-year-old.

The outlet asserts that River Plate are bracing for offers to arrive through the door for the young centre-back in January.

Unrejectable offer feared for Spurs target Lautaro Rivero

El Intransigente say that there is fear at the Argentine club that an ‘unrejectable’ offer could be on its way from Europe for their starlet.

The outlet explains that Rivero is contracted to his club until the end of 2028, and his current deal contains a release clause of €100m (£87.1m).

However, should a ‘significant’ offer arrive either from North London or the Spanish capital, they may be tempted to cash in on the centre-back.

It may be a case of deja vu at Tottenham, as a new report has revealed worrying news about Antoine Semenyo’s release clause.

Over recent days, some sources have claimed that Tottenham have moved to pole position in the race for Semeyno as the North Londoners look to complete a deal for the winger in January.

It has been claimed that Spurs may have to shatter their transfer record to land Semenyo, who is thought to be valued at around £75m by Bournemouth.

Tottenham are expected to face plenty of competition for the Ghana international, but a new update has revealed an interesting detail about the 25-year-old’s contract.

Tottenham target Antoine Semenyo has a release clause at Bournemouth

It has now been revealed by talkSPORT that Semenyo’s current deal at the Vitality Stadium contains a release clause.

The winger put pen to paper on a new five-year deal in the summer, and it is explained that the way the Cherries got their star man to commit is by agreeing to insert a release clause in his deal.

However, as things stand, the value of Semenyo’s release clause is unknown, and Bournemouth want to keep it under wraps.

The report adds that Tottenham Hotspur and Man United enquired about the Ghanaian in the summer, and the two clubs remain keen on the player.

Another Morgan Gibbs-White situation for Spurs?

Tottenham had a bad experience attempting to sign another player whose contract contained a confidential release clause back in the summer.

Nottingham Forest managed to block Gibbs-White’s move to Spurs, accusing Spurs of illegally approaching the player after his confidential £60m release clause was met.

Pedro Porro has reflected on how he balances attacking with defending, and has also spoken about how he feels at Tottenham Hotspur.

One can argue that the Spanish right-back has been Tottenham’s most consistent player across the last three seasons.

Not only is he never injured, but Porro boasts of more assists than any other defender across the Premier League since the start of the 2023-24 season.

The 26-year-old is now taking his impressive form to the international stage, with Porro making the right-back spot in the Spain side his own.

Tottenham star Pedro Porro reveals how he finds balance between defence and attack

Porro has been the toast of the Spanish media over the international break, with the Tottenham man being hailed for his defending as well as his output going forward.

The former Sporting Lisbon man has explained what he prioritises in either part of his game, admitting that he looks for consistency in defence while expressing himself going forward.

When asked about how he balances his attacking and defensive duties, Porro told Infobae: “I have more of a winger’s soul. Nowadays, you have to be important in both roles.

“I like reading comments, and several years ago I was very involved defensively, trying to be a little more involved and see what I can do because then in attack, I have that self-confidence that’s also required of a full-back when they reach the deep areas.

“In defence, you have to be consistent, and in attack, you also have that support for your teammates when they need it.”

Porro admits Spurs comfort but rues one result this season

The Tottenham full-back was linked with a move to Real Madrid in the recent past, but he has now made it clear that he feels at home in N17.

The 26-year-old admitted that he still rues the fact that Spurs were not able to add to their trophy haul at the start of the season after throwing away the Super Cup clash against PSG.

The right-back added: “The truth is, I’m very happy and very settled at Tottenham. The start of the season has been very good. It’s a shame we lost the Super Cup final on penalties against PSG.

“After going 2-0 up, you have to win that title, but for me, they’re one of the best clubs in the world. If you’re not focused for the full 90 minutes, that’s what happens.”

Tottenham Hotspur fans are divided following Harry Kane’s latest comments about a potential return to North London.

Talk of Harry Kane returning to Tottenham Hotspur has refused to die down, with the Englishman often sharing his thoughts and emotions when asked about his boyhood club.

In his most recent interview, Kane again touched on the subject, refusing to rule out the possibility of a return.

He made it clear that Tottenham will always remain a part of him, as he spent the majority of his life in north London and still sees the club as “we”.

Speaking about his future, Kane said: “I’m not sure (if I’ll go back). I’m very happy here in Munich. It’s not something I’m thinking about. It’ll always be ‘we’ (with Spurs) because I spent my whole life there. I’m a fan of them and will always watch them and see how they’re getting on. They will always be a part of my life for sure but as for now, I’m loving it here.

“It was great to see (them win a trophy this year). I’ve got a lot of friends there with the players and staff. We know how long we waited and how close we’d come in the past so it was big for everyone – the fans, the club and all involved to have that feeling and get that one over the line. That’s always important and hopefully they can push on and win more.”

Tottenham supporters have now reacted to Kane’s recent remarks, and as expected, opinions have been mixed across the fanbase.

Some believe that his comments are a clear hint that he will eventually return to N17, while others feel the club must move on from the idea, with many uncertain whether a reunion would ever materialise.

One fan said: “We see you starting to soft launch the return dropping ‘we’.” Another added: “I know he’s going to come back, I just can’t prove it yet.”

One more commented: “I’d love him back at Spurs but the truth is he is actually above our level right now.”

Another opined: “I think the only way he’d consider coming back is if he genuinely believed we had a squad capable of winning the league. No chance he comes back to be just fighting to qualify for Europe again – we’d have to be fighting to win the Champions League and the league.”

Others were less optimistic, with one fan saying: “He deserves to finish his career competing for UCLs ngl. Will always be grateful for the years he gave us.”

Another remarked: “Gotta start focusing on getting and slowly moulding a new Kane and Son. As much as I’m happy to take him back, he’s just too good, too good to be competing for UCLs and not coming close from behinds.”

However, some supporters were confident that a return is inevitable, with one saying: “He can’t exactly say yes I will be back. Didn’t rule it out. Welcome back Harry.” Another added: “He will be back.” One more confidently stated: “He is 100% coming back.”

Fabrizio Romano shares update on Harry Kane and Spurs

For Tottenham, a striker of Kane’s calibre would undoubtedly elevate their attacking level and push them closer to competing with the very best sides in Europe.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently weighed in on the possibility of a Kane return to Tottenham, clarifying the current situation.

Romano revealed that although Spurs would be open to seizing an opportunity to bring Kane back, there have been no talks or negotiations on that front.

Tottenham Hotspur fans have been left buzzing after the club unveiled Fabio Paratici as part of their new men’s football leadership structure.

The changes keep coming at Tottenham Hotspur, and this time the club has announced the return of a figure many supporters remember well.

Fabio Paratici has officially returned as Sporting Director following a 30-month ban from football activity due to his alleged involvement in the Juventus “Plusvalenza” scandal.

Tottenham confirmed that Paratici will resume his previous role as Sporting Director, one he is familiar with, as the club continues to move forward under Johan Lange, who retains his position.

Tottenham fans react to Fabio Paratici return

Spurs fans have not held back in their reaction to the return of the Italian, with many taking to social media to express their delight and excitement at the news.

One supporter wrote: “This must be what my elders felt like when Mandela was released from prison. Feels like the sun is shining brighter today. Yildiz incoming 🔜.”

Another simply welcomed him, saying: “Welcome back Don Paratici.” A third commented: “We are so back.” One more added: “I hope this leadership structure will bring back glory to the club.”

Focus shifts to Spurs’ plans for the winter window

It indeed feels as though attention is beginning to shift back to the football itself following the club’s announcement of a new director.

The Lewis Family have continued to show intent by focusing more on the pitch, with early signs suggesting that plans for the winter transfer window are already taking shape.

Tottenham’s Lucas Bergvall has revealed whether he suffered an injury after being withdrawn at half-time during Sweden’s loss to Kosovo on Monday.

Ahead of the international break, the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder had not featured for his country since November of last year.

Calls were growing louder in Sweden for Lucas Bergvall to be handed game time, and manager Jon Dahl Tomasson finally obliged, giving the 19-year-old back-to-back starts against Switzerland and Sweden.

Bergvall had an outing to forget against the Swiss as he missed an open goal in the first half as Sweden lost 2-0 at home.

Tottenham star Lucas Bergvall reveals if he picked up an injury

The midfielder did not fare too much better against Kosovo, this time lasting just 45 minutes as Newcastle United winger Anthony Elanga replaced him after the break.

The Scandinavian side fell to a 1-0 loss, and the media back in his home country were surprised to see the Spurs youngster taken off at the interval. Some Tottenham fans were worried that it could indicate an injury problem.

Thankfully, from a Tottenham perspective, the teenager confirmed that he did not have any fitness-related issues.

When asked if his substitution was due to an injury concern, Bergvall told Sportbladet: “No, I was completely healthy. Yes, of course [disappointed to come off]. I feel fit, but you have to respect it. No [didn’t receive an explanation], but it’s difficult to take it at half-time.”

Bergvall is delighted with Spurs role under Thomas Frank

It is fair to say that Jon Dahl Tomasson has not yet found the perfect role for the youngster in his Sweden set-up.

The teenager’s role at Tottenham has changed this season, with Bergvall admitting that he is now playing more as a number ten than a number eight under the Danish coach.

Fabio Paratici has opened up on what his interactions with Tottenham fans made him feel over the last two years, and the role those played in his decision to return to the club.

Two and a half years after being forced to resign from his role as managing director of Tottenham, Paratici is now officially back as Spurs sporting director.

The Italian will be sharing the responsibility with Johan Lange, who has been promoted from his previous role as technical director.

Reflecting on his return, Paratici has said that he loves Tottenham, and he has now expanded on why his affection for the club has grown over the last two years.

Fabio Paratici reveals Tottenham fans showered him with love

The 53-year-old has been going through a tough time over the past two years, owing to his alleged involvement in the Juventus capital gains scandal.

He has been working as a consultant for Spurs during his time out of the game, and he admitted that during that time, he had some touching interactions with the Tottenham faithful.

When asked how it feels to be back at Tottenham, Paratici told the club’s official channel: “It’s a great feeling. First of all, I would like to be thankful to the Lewis family, to Vinai, to Johan, and all of the employees who supported me during this period and made me feel a part of this family, even though I was not full-time at this club.

“I also want to thank the fans. They made me feel really important to them. They supported me everywhere when I met them. They showed me their love, and it means a lot to me. For this reason, this club is really special to me. And then coming back to this role and working together with Johan as a sporting director is a great feeling for me.”

Paratici admits he met Spurs fans all across the world

The Italian is very much a globe-trotter, having developed a wide network during his two decades of experience in the game.

He revealed that wherever he went, he came across Tottenham Hotspur fans, who were thankful for the contributions he had made to the club.

When asked if he ran into Spurs supporters often, Paratici responded: “Yes, of course, because Spurs fans are everywhere. Sometimes you can meet them in Rome, Milan or New York.

“They showed me really the love that they have, and not just in the stadium, but everywhere I meet them, they came to me saying thanks and supporting me. It means a lot to me. Joining the club again and working closely with Johan and Vinai will be great. It is a great feeling.”

Ange Postecoglou may not end up going up against his old side, Tottenham Hotspur, given the latest developments at Nottingham Forest.

Just months after being sacked by Spurs, Postecoglou completed his return to the Premier League at the start of September, replacing another former Tottenham boss, Nuno Espirito Santo, as the Forest head coach.

As soon as the Australian took over at the City Ground, Tottenham fans had earmarked the date 13 December on their calendar, which is when the Lilywhites travel to the Midlands to take on Forest.

However, it turns out that the former Spurs boss is not likely to be in charge by the time that the Lilywhites take on Forest.

Ange Postecoglou may not last long enough to face Tottenham

The Australian is winless in his first seven games across all competitions in his new job, and things do not get easier for him as Forest host Chelsea this Saturday.

It has now been revealed by talkSPORT that Postecoglou will be in charge of the clash against the Blues, but his future beyond that is uncertain.

A poor result on Sunday could see owner Evangelos Marinakis wield the axe on the 60-year-old, which means that there are serious doubts over whether Postecoglou will face Spurs, with the fixture still being nearly two months away.

The report adds that former Burnley and Everton boss Sean Dyche is being considered as one of the options to replace the former Tottenham Hotspur boss at the City Ground.

Former Spurs official’s appointment is bad news for Postecoglou

A few days ago, it emerged that former Tottenham chief football officer Scott Munn has been appointed as the head of football at Italian side Parma, just four months after being let go by Spurs.

Interestingly, this latest update by talkSPORT reveals that Munn, who was a close ally of Postecoglou at Spurs, was being considered for a boardroom role at the City Ground.

However, Forest chiefs are now looking at other options for their chief football officer role, and their decision to pass up on Munn is seen as an indication that the club’s hierarchy are not completely on board with their new manager.

Tottenham are not without injury problems in midfield, with James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski both long-term absentees, and now there is another name to add to the list.

Yves Bissouma picked up an injury in his first competitive match of the season on Sunday, lasting just six minutes after coming on in the second half for Mali in their win over Madagascar.

It has emerged that Bissouma was in agonising pain, holding his left ankle, and had to be stretchered off the pitch.

It is the same ankle that the midfielder had surgery on in 2023, and his latest update suggests that the 28-year-old may be on the treatment table for a while.

Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma is determined despite a major setback

The Spurs man took to social media to post a picture of himself wearing a cast and a protective boot on his left leg, and he was using crutches to walk.

While Tottenham are yet to officially confirm the severity of the injury, it is clear from the images that Bissouma faces a sustained spell on the sidelines.

However, the former Brighton man made it clear that he is not going to allow this setback to bring him down and vowed to work hard to get back stronger.

Bissouma wrote on Instagram: “Zero regrets. I once again thoroughly enjoyed representing my country, and if I had to do it all over again, I would do it for the love of my country.

“I fell, but I will know how to get back up. Every challenge is a lesson, every fall a reminder of my faith and my strength. This is not the end, just the beginning of a new chapter, stronger, more determined. See you soon.”

Spurs fans feel Bissouma had poor judgment

The midfielder made it clear in his post that he does not regret playing for Mali, but the Tottenham supporters are questioning his decision.

Many Spurs fans feel it was poor judgment on Bissouma’s part to play in a dead-rubber game, and some are wondering how the club allowed the 28-year-old to be involved.
