Toby Alderweireld slams lies over summer Tottenham Hotspur exit

Belgium international Toby Alderweireld has stressed that he never sought a summer exit from Tottenham Hotspur unlike claimed in the media. The central defender had managed just 14 league appearances last term after he played second fiddle to Jan Vertonghen and Davinson Sanchez and this led to claims that he could pursue a fresh challenge elsewhere.

Thereafter, Manchester United were heavily tipped to sign him during the summer transfer window but ultimately a deal never materialised with reports suggesting that the Red Devils had failed to match Spurs’ £70m asking price. Amidst this, Alderweireld has now indicated a summer departure from Spurs was never on the cards, he said:

Mauricio Pochettino insists Harry Kane is match-fit

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has insisted that Harry Kane is match-fit despite a shortened break following the summer World Cup. The England international was one of the standout performers for the Three Lions in Russia but he showed signs of fatigue, which hampered his performancestowards the end of the tournament.

Despite this, Kane returned early from the mandatory three-week break to start the league opener against Newcastle United and though he did not score, Pochettino has stressed that the striker is ready for the ongoing campaign, he said: “For me all are fit. We put in our mind that all are fit, you cannot tell some player ‘you’re not fit’. For me he is match ready, all the players are fit to play and start the game, but they need time to be at their best.”

Steve Bruce fires warning towards Tottenham Hotspur regarding Jack Grealish

Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce has warned Tottenham Hotspur that they would have to pay up a significant fee, if they are to lure midfielder Jack Grealish from Villa Park this summer. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has been reluctant to make an offer for the 22-year-old with a view to driving the price down but the move appears to have now backfired.

On Friday, Mega-rich duo NassefSawiris and Wes Edensacquired 50 per cent ownership of Villa, and though the club still have to comply with the Financial Fair Play,they could do so on their own terms. As such, Bruce has stressed that the club are not desperate to offload Grealish without his asking price being met.

Jan Vertonghen surprised with the progress of Tottenham defender

Tottenham Hotspur defender Jan Vertonghen has admitted that he was surprised with the performances of Davinson Sanchez during the previous campaign despite having prior knowledge over the Colombian’s qualities on the playing field. The 21-year-old became Spurs’ club-record signing after he joined from Ajax last summer and he formed a strong partnership with Vertonghen through the previous campaign.

Speaking after Sanchez, Vertonghen said: “When the rumours were there [about him joining] I spoke to a couple of people at Ajax that I know there and they were very positive about him, a great guy and a great player. So when he arrived I knew a bit what to expect but even then he surprised me a lot. I still remember his debut, I think it was away at Everton, how well he did, how impressive he was. No doubt, no nerves, just like he started playing and he had the same level over the season and it was an unbelievable level. It’s a big compliment to him.”

Harry Kane signs fresh six-year contract with Tottenham Hotspur

England international Harry Kane has reportedly penned a six-year contract with Tottenham Hotspur. The 24-year-old has been frequently linked with a potential move to Real Madrid but the latest extension should end the striker’s prospects of joining the European champions for next few years at the least.

Speaking about the fresh contract, Kane said: “I’m really excited, it’s a proud day. Obviously it’s been a great few seasons and I’m looking forward to the future. I’m looking forward to the new stadium first and foremost and just to keep progressing as a Club. It’s been fantastic to consistently get in the Champions League so I’m really excited to have another go at that and with the Premier League and FA Cup, we’ll look to go as far as we can. For us as a Club, it’s just about keeping improving and we’ll work hard to do that.”

Mauricio Pochettino Claims Top-Four Finish Is A Massive Achievement

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino believes the club’s top-four finish is a massive achievement ahead of their switch to the new stadium next term. The north London outfit began their campaign in a relatively slow fashion at their temporary home in Wembley but they have eventually managed to cement a Champions League spot.

Speaking after the moment, Pochettino said: “It was a real quality season for the group to achieve the top four — a massive achievement. For the club it’s a massive thing to move into the new stadium and play in the Champions League. It will be another massive challenge (at the new stadium) — the same as playing at Wembley. (But) this group of players now have the experience to make the new stadium feel like home.” Continue reading →

ESPN Pundit Urges Tottenham Hotspur To Move For Paris Saint-Germain Star

ESPN Pundit Paul Mariner feels Tottenham Hotspur should make an approach to sign Layvin Kurzawa from Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season. The left-sided player has been touted for an exit from Parc des Princes this summer with Spurs deemed as one of the top sides interested in his signature.

Speaking on ESPN FC, Mariner believes Spurs need to improve the overall depth of their squad, if they are to offer a strong challenge for the Premier League next season. He added to recommend the signing of Kurzawa, who is capable of playing anywhere on the left side of the pitch, he said: “I think what we’ve found with Tottenham is, when we start talking about depth, everybody’s panicking when Harry Kane goes down.

Mauricio Pochettino Stresses Tottenham Don’t Have Wembley Advantage For FA Cup Semi-Final

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino does not believes his side will have a huge advantage in the FA Cup semi-final despite the Wembley Stadium due to host the game. Spurs have played all of their home matches at the national stadium as they fast-track the completion of their new home ground which is expected to be opened for next season.


Spurs had their Wembley hoodoos during the start of the campaign as they failed to win three of their opening four matches. However, they have since managed to sort out their woes with their just one defeat against West Ham United since October. As a result, many have deemed favourites for Spurs ahead of their FA Cup semi-final at the Wembley, but Pochettino appears to dismiss the advantage, he said:“How it changes? Now the perception and the feeling. Seven months ago, it was horrendous to play there and now it’s an advantage. We are comfortable and happy to play there. The fans are more comfortable too. That is a very good thing, but I don’t think it will be an advantage to play there.”
