star and hero of the North London club s 3-1 win over Real Madrid this week, Dele Alli, has been heavily linked with a move to the Spanish capital over the past month, but now it has emerged that could be set to swoop in and steal Alli right out from under Los Blancos noses.
That s according to , who noticed that the bookmakers BetStars have made the Manchester club the favourites to acquire Alli s signature. Whether or not that means anything is of course a different question, but it is certainly an intriguing development regarding one of England s most exciting players.
Tottenham and Manchester United have a turbulent recent history when it comes to transfers, much of which stems from the Dimitar Berbatov drama back in 2008. That particular fiasco damaged relations …
Andrew Robertson surpassed Leighton Baines as the defender with the most assists in Premier League history by teeing up Mohamed Salah s early goal at Aston Villa on Monday.
Liverpool needed just five minutes to hit the front on their return to league action, with Robertson playing a key role by breaking Villa s offside trap to deliver a low cross for Salah to convert.
That represented Robertson s 54th Premier League assist – one more than former Everton and Wigan Athletic left-back Baines managed before his retirement in 2020.
Trent Alexander-Arnold – who sits third on that list with 45 assists – showcased his own vision for Liverpool s opener with a sublime pass to release his fellow full-back Robertson.
Robertson s assist was also his fifth in the…
Roma have confirmed head coach Luciano Spalletti has left the club after guiding them to second place in the Serie A table.
The 58-year-old s contract at the Stadio Olimpico was due to expire at the end of the season and he has opted not to sign a renewal, with recent reports suggesting he is on his way to Inter.
Spalletti returned to Roma in January 2016 – having previously enjoyed a spell at the club between 2005 and 2009 – and led them to a third-placed finish last term.
Roma went one better this season as they clinched automatic Champions League qualification, but Spalletti has nonetheless decided to move on.

Harry Kane became the first player to score nine goals in his first nine Champions League appearances with his strike in Tottenham s 2-2 draw with Juventus in Turin.
The 24-year-old struck his side s first goal on before Christian Eriksen sealed a valuable result in the first leg of the Champions League last-16 showdown in Turin, after Gonzalo Higuain s early double had put Juve 2-0 ahead.
Kane has nine goals in as many outings, beating the joint record held by Ronaldinho, Simone Inzaghi, Didier Drogba and Diego Costa, who scored eight in their first nine appearances.
The goal also means Kane draws level with former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard s tally of seven goals in a single campaign for an English player, which was set back in the 2008-09 season.<…
Gareth Bale s golfing abilities have been described as unfair by Jon Rahm, with the 2021 U.S. Open winner declaring: He has no business being that good!
Bale, who famously celebrated in front of a flag adorned with the message Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order when he led Wales to Euro 2020 qualification, retired from football earlier this month.
The former Real Madrid and Tottenham forward, who is renowned for his love of golf, recently announced he was planning to compete at the PGA Tour s Pebble Beach Pro-Am next month.
In preparation for that competition, Bale played nine holes of pro-am play at Torrey Pines with Rahm on Tuesday, making a good impression on the world number three.
I told Gareth, you can t be so good at professional football and gol…
Paolo Maldini has confirmed AC Milan plan to sign Tiemoue Bakayoko to a permanent deal if their resources allow.
The France midfielder struggled for form after joining Chelsea in 2017 and moved to Milan on loan at the start of the season, again enduring a tough start to life in a new country.
But the former Monaco man has since established himself as a key man for the Rossoneri.
Gennaro Gattuso s men are fourth in Serie A ahead of Atalanta on head-to-head and club chief Maldini is keen to secure Champions League qualification and bring in Bakayoko.
[Bakayoko] showed great character, Maldini told Mediaset. He didn t start very well and had to adapt to a different situation than he was used to
We are super happy with him and we will try to keep hi…
World Cup-winning coach Vicente del Bosque believes a lack of tactical team development could be the root cause of England s problems at international level.
Spain, like England, struggled to convert their obvious talent into results on the biggest stage until Luis Aragones guided his country to glory at Euro 2008, with Del Bosque then winning both the World Cup and the next European Championships after taking over in charge of the national team.
And the former Real Madrid boss does not feel England s issue is a lack of talent, leading him to suggest they follow Spain’s example and find a style that gets the best out of their players.
I see England as a country where the players have big feelings for their shirt, Del Bosque told Omnisport.
I am sur…
Juventus missed the chance to move into top spot in the Serie A table as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Genoa.
Juve’s only dropped points in their previous eight games had come in a draw against leaders Inter, and a win would have left their rivals playing catch-up in Sunday’s clash with Lazio.
Federico Chiesa put the visitors ahead from the penalty spot in the 28th minute at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, but Albert Gudmundsson levelled three minutes after half-time and Juve could not find a winner.

Massimiliano Allegri was without Adrien Rabiot, who joined Mattia De Sciglio and Moise Kean on the sidelines because of a minor foot problem, while Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli were both sus…
No. We didn t talk about this but for sure I am not asking for a striker.
Up front we are really good, but we didn t talk about this because until January 5 we have to be focused on the three games. After that we can talk about whether we need something or not.
Those are the words of Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti who is eager to ensure that Everton fans don’t get ahead of themselves regarding the January transfer window. The expectation is that Ancelotti will make some notable changes during the winter window and that he will try to enforce his own style on the Toffees, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s going to be planning it all out right now.
For the time being he’s going to be focusing on getting Everton through this busy festive peri…
