Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has taken a dig at Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after the Manchester United head coach made a joke about the Portuguese manager.

Tottenham open talks with Jesse Lingard after Mourinho requests transfer

Transfer Info, Premier League

Tottenham have reportedly opened talks with Jesse Lingard after Jose Mourinho told Daniel Levy to sign the Manchester United star.

Why Man Utd missed out on Sergio Reguilon transfer

Premier League

Tottenham are close to signing Real Madrid defender Sergio Reguilon after hijacking Manchester United’s move for the Spaniard. The 23-year-old is set to leave Real this summer after an impressive loan spell with Sevilla last season and United had been in talks with the La Liga champions for the last week over a possible £20m deal. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); However, negotiations hit a stumbling block when Madrid insisted on including a buy-back clause, with the Red devils unwilling to agree. And that has opened the door for Tottenham and the Athletic claim that a deal is now close to being struck that will see Reguilon move to North London on a permanent basis. Real wanted a buy-back option on the Spanish left-back allowing them to sign him for le...

Gareth Bale close to Tottenham move as agent confirms transfer talks over a return

Transfer Info, La Liga, Premier League

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is trying to find a way of re-signing Gareth Bale in a move that could see Dele Alli move to Real Madrid, according to reports. Bale is prepared to consider a return to the Premier League and his agent has admitted Tottenham is “where he wants to be”, although Levy could face competition from Manchester United, who are also keen on the winger.

This would allow Spurs to re-sign Bale and pay him £300,000-a-week, £150,000-a-week of which would be financed by the saving made on...

Premier League

The 22-year-old wants more first-team football having started only one league match after the campaign restart – which was in the last Premier League game of the season against Watford. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Despite using him sparingly, Arteta is still keen to keep Maitland-Niles in the team – particularly with a Europa League campaign to prepare for – though the Arsenal board overruled his decision to keep the youngster.

Mourinho aims sly dig at “lucky” Man Utd over top-four race

Premier League

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho could not resist another swipe at ‘lucky’ Manchester United after they escaped a penalty against Crystal Palace and then saw a goal from their opponents ruled out by VAR. United secured a 2-0 win against Palace on Thursday that continues their fight for a place in the top four, though they survived a scare in the game. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Just before Marcus Rashford scored the first go, Wilfried Zaha appeared to be brought down inside the box but VAR did nothing, while a goal from Palace was cancelled for a marginal offside call.
