During the last couple of years, Tottenham Hotspur have started to splash the cash in the transfer market to aid them in their quest for success in the Premier League.

In the last four years alone, the hierarchy have dropped over £400m on new additions, but not all the big-money additions have made the desired effect in North London.

Tanguy Ndombele is just one of the players who cost a pretty penny, with the Frenchman costing a reported £63m in 2019 – a deal that was then a club-record.

He was only able to rack up 91 appearances for the Lilywhites over a five-year period, before leaving on a free transfer last summer to move back to his homeland.

With the January window on the horizon, the board and Thomas Frank will need to keep such a deal in mind to prevent themselves from losing a huge chunk of their investment.

The latest on Spurs’ hunt for new additions this January

In recent weeks, Juventus defender Gleison Bremer has been one of the latest players touted with a move to join Spurs during the upcoming transfer window.

It’s been reported that Frank’s men are willing to fork out £35m for the Brazilian centre-back, as the board aim to add key depth and quality to the backline.

The Lilywhites have shipped 11 goals in their last three competitive outings, which could make the 28-year-old a viable option for the upcoming window.

However, the attacking department could also be subject to improvement, with Monaco star Maghnes Akliouche once again emerging on their radar after previously wanting to sign the forward in the summer.

According to Sacha Tavolieri, the Lilywhites are extremely keen on a deal to land the 23-year-old this winter, but a deal could cost the hierarchy a pretty penny.

The journalist has stated that the Ligue 1 side are currently demanding a fee in the region of €70m (£61m) for his signature, a deal that would be one of the most expensive in their history.

Why Spurs’ £61m target would be Simons 2.0

Spending big on a young attacker hasn’t been alien for Spurs in the last couple of months, with the board splashing a reported £52m on the signature of Xavi Simons last summer.

The Dutchman’s move generated huge excitement, with the hierarchy selecting the 22-year-old as the player to fill the void in the number ten role after James Maddison’s injury.

However, a couple of months on from his mammoth transfer, the youngster has struggled to hit the ground running, as seen by his tally of zero goals and just two assists to date.

Frank has also evidently been frustrated by the Dutchman’s lack of quality, with the manager leaving him on the substitutes bench in each of the last two outings.

A little ounce of leeway must be handed Simons’ way though, especially with the attacking midfielder often having to operate in a somewhat unnatural left-wing role in multiple of his starts.

However, the club could be about to land another version of the big-money talent this January, especially if they manage to complete a deal for Akliouche in the near future.

He’s been ranked as a similar player to Simons in the Champions League by FBref, with the pair even facing off against each other in the clash between the two sides in October.

When comparing the pair’s respective stats in such a campaign, the Frenchman has dominated the current Spurs star, which could hand Frank the attacking talent he’s craved in recent months.

Akliouche, who’s been dubbed “world-class” by one analyst, has achieved a higher tally of combined goals and assists in the Champions League at present.

He’s also completed more of the passes he’s attempted, with more of his efforts going into the final third – showcasing his creative nature when in possession.

The aforementioned tallies would undoubtedly hand Frank the big-money talent he’s been craving since taking the reins in North London during the off-season.

The Monaco star has also completed more take-ons per 90 in Europe this season, whilst achieving more carries into the final third per 90 – reaffirming his incredible ability with the ball at his feet.

£61m in today’s market for a player of Akliouche’s quality would be an excellent deal, with the 23-year-old having bags of time to reach the next level in his development.

As for Simons, the Frenchman’s potential move could push him down the pecking order further, but it could also provide him with the

needed kick to ignite his career in North London.

انتقد واين روني، أسطورة نادي مانشستر يونايتد، محمد صلاح، نجم نادي ليفربول، وذلك بعد التصريحات الأخيرة التي أدلى بها الدولي المصري تجاه إدارة الريدز والمدرب آرني سلوت.

ويعتقد روني أن محمد صلاح يدمر إرثه في ليفربول بمثل هذه التصريحات، مشيرًا في الوقت ذاته إلى أنه على أحد الأشخاص الموجودين داخل النادي الإنجليزي التحدث معه سريعًا لحل هذه الأزمة.

وخرج محمد صلاح عن صمته بعد تعادل ليفربول مع ليدز يونايتد بالدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز يوم السبت الماضي 3-3، حيث كان الدولي المصري بديلًا في تلك المباراة.

ولم يشارك محمد صلاح ضد ليدز  ، حيث بقى ابن ال33 عامًا كبديل للمباراة الثالثة على التوالي مع ليفربول، مما جعل اللاعب يخرج عن صمته ويصرح بأن العلاقة مع سلوت قد تدمرت، وبأن إدارة الريدز لم تفي بالوعود التي قدمتها له.

وقال روني في تصريحات لبي بي سي سبورت: “لماذا تصرون على قول ذلك؟ محمد صلاح لاعب رائع مع ليفربول، كلاعب هو هادئ، ومنعزل”.

وأضاف روني في حديثه: “في العام الماضي أعرب عن استيائه الشديد لعدم عرض عقد جديد عليه، يستحق محمد صلاح الحصول على المبلغ الذي يستحقه. لكن لا يمكن قلب الأمور رأساً على عقب والتعبير عما قاله، كان ذلك إهانة لزملائه في الفريق، ولمديره، وللجماهير”.

وأوضح: “يمر الوقت علينا جميعًا، لم يكن محمد صلاح في أفضل حالاته هذا الموسم ولم يكن في أوج عطائه، من الواضح أن سلوت لاحظ ذلك ووضعه على مقاعد البدلاء”.

وأردف روني: “إنه أحد اللاعبين الأساسيين، إن لم يكن اللاعب الأهم في ليفربول خلال المواسم القليلة الماضية، نريد رؤيته يشمر عن ساعديه، أن تتباهى بالقول إنه ليس مضطرًا لكسب مكانه الأساسي في التشكيل؟ عليك أن تكون في أفضل حالاتك كل أسبوع للبقاء في الفريق”.

وتابع روني في حديثه عن محمد صلاح: “لو كنتُ زميله في الفريق لما كنت سعيدًا على الإطلاق بما قاله. هذا هو الوقت الذي يحتاجونه فيه أكثر من أي وقت مضى. بل على العكس، لقد أساء إلى ليفربول بكلامه”.

ثم نصح روني محمد صلاح قائلًا: “إما أن يتحدث إلى المدرب ويعلن موقفه، ويحاول تصحيح الأمور، أو أن يغادر النادي، يجب حل الأمر بسرعة”.

وقال: “إنه يدمر إرثه تمامًا، الإرث الذي كان بإمكانه تركه هائلا، أساطير ليفربول الذي هو من بينهم تمامًا، سيكون من المحزن أن يتخلى عن كل شيء، لقد أخطأ تمامًا”.

وأضاف روني في حديثه عن محمد صلاح: “سيحظى بالحماية بدءًا من الأسبوع المقبل حيث سيغيب لمشاركته مع منتخب مصر، أما بالنسبة للتوقيت، فقد فعل ذلك لسبب وجيه، إنه كان يدبر لإلقاء قنبلة ثم المغادرة مع مصر”.

وأوضح: “أعتقد أنه سيكون من الجيد لليفربول أن يبعد محمد صلاح عن الصورة حاليًا، على سلوت أن يظهر سلطته ويقول له لن تسافر مع الفريق، ما قلته غير مقبول، ودع الأمور تستقر”.

وأردف: “الأمر الصعب هو أنه عندما تكون لاعبًا وتصل إلى السن الذي ينخفض ​​فيه أداؤك تبحث عن أسباب، آخر شخص تنظر إليه هو نفسك. أعتقد أن هذا ما يحدث مع محمد صلاح، لم يكن أداؤه رائعًا. أنا متأكد أنه خلال العامين المقبلين، عندما يستذكر ما حدث، سيندم على ما قاله”.

وتابع: “هو وحده القادر على مساعدته في الخروج من هذا الوضع من خلال اللعب بشكل أفضل، بدلًا من النظر إلى نفسه، هو يبحث عن أي شيء يلقي عليه اللوم ”.

واستكمل: “لقد مررت بنفس التجربة مع جوزيه مورينيو. بدأت الموسم مع زلاتان إبراهيموفيتش لكنني كنت أعرف أنه عادةً ما يلعب بلاعب واحد في الهجوم”.

وواصل: “في أول ثلاث أو أربع مباريات أشرك مورينيو لاعبين منا، كنت أعرف أنه بمجرد أن ألعب بشكل سيء، لن ألعب، وسيكون زلاتان هو المهاجم”.

وقال: ”دخلتُ وتحدثتُ بصراحة مع جوزيه. طلبت منه الانتقال على سبيل الإعارة في يناير لأنني أردت اللعب، رفض لأنه كان بحاجة لي في الدوري الأوروبي، لكن كان بإمكاني الرحيل في الصيف”.

واختتم روني في حديثه: ”وقفت وصافحته ولم أشتكِ مرة أخرى. جلست على مقاعد البدلاء ولعبت بضع مباريات، كان حديثاً صريحاً، رجلان يتصافحان، وهو ما أعتقد أنه التصرف الصحيح وليس ما فعله صلاح”.

Ao ser questionado que o ataque tinha poucos nomes, Tinga brincou:

– A janela segue aberta. Ainda estamos contratando!

Um dos nomes para o ataque é o ex-colorado Taison, do PAOK. Sua vinda, porém, depende de liberação do clube, que tem jogo nesta sexta (12). E a aposta, como é? Tinga explica:

England assistant coach says lack of warm-up matches is ‘the way of the modern game’

England have defended their limited Ashes preparation ahead of the start of their warm-up game against the Lions at Lilac Hill in Perth on Thursday. The three-day match-up is England’s only match practice ahead of next Friday’s first Test at Optus Stadium, which assistant coach Marcus Trescothick described as “the way of the modern game”.Ashes tours have historically started with a series of warm-up fixtures between travelling squads and either domestic or invitational teams, but they have been greatly reduced in recent series as boards look to streamline schedules.England have largely eschewed warm-up fixtures since Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes took over as head coach and captain, preferring training camps and intra-squad matches, but have generally started series strongly. They have won all the first Test in each of their last five overseas tours, including in India, Pakistan and New Zealand last year.”It’s the way that the series are generally done – for us and for other opposition teams – around the world nowadays,” Trescothick told reporters in Perth on Tuesday. “With the volume of cricket that’s played [elsewhere], you don’t have the time for preparations like potentially playing two or three first-class games, which has happened in the past.”I think you generally roll with a prep game, or some facilities – whatever you have available – and you go from there. Of course, most of the guys have been playing in New Zealand for us. Some of the guys have come out from England, but it’s the way of the modern game nowadays.”Michael Vaughan, who opened the batting with Trescothick on England’s 2002-03 tour to Australia, has questioned the value in playing on a club ground which will “bounce really low” ahead of the first Test on an Optus Stadium which is expected to be fast with steep bounce.Related

But Trescothick said England were “very happy” with their preparation: “We’ve had facilities here with the nets, and obviously then the nets out in the middle, and then we’ve got the preparation game here as well.”In my day, playing at the Waca was very unique and very different, but you prepare yourself for those sorts of changes in facilities and pitches as you go along. We’ll have three days of prep at Optus, just to get used to pitches and we go along with that, and we’ll go from there. We’re very happy at the moment.”Ben Duckett, who will open the batting in next week’s first Test, arrived in Perth last week and said that facing England’s fast bowlers in the nets has provided “pretty good” preparation following a white-ball tour to New Zealand.”I don’t know what the right answer is,” Duckett told the podcast. “We play a lot of cricket at the minute, and we’ve obviously just come off the back of our summer. We’re certainly not lacking any gametime.”I don’t make those plans, but I’m pretty happy getting ready in the nets. If we’re facing Jofra [Archer], Woody [Mark Wood] and those guys everyday, I think that will be pretty good prep.”England’s preparation has been heavily criticised by former players, with Ian Botham suggesting their slimline schedule “borders on arrogance”. It stands in clear contrast to Australia’s build-up, with 14 members of their 15-man squad for the first Test involved in the ongoing round of Sheffield Shield fixtures.

When Arne Slot spoke in his pre-match press conference ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Elland Road to face Leeds United, it was pretty sobering for the head coach to suggest that the focus is on securing a place in next year’s Champions League proper, and not battling to defend their hard-won Premier League title.

Slot’s right, of course, with Liverpool so far removed from last year’s indomitable success that talk of mounting a challenge against high-flying Arsenal would be scoffed at by even the most ardent supporters.

Among Liverpool’s biggest problems this season has been a struggle in the build-up, especially on the right side. Trent Alexander-Arnold’s absence is keenly felt, and sporting director Richard Hughes is looking to replace the former vice-captain’s creativity.

Liverpool looking to replace Alexander-Arnold

Liverpool have technically replaced Alexander-Arnold already, signing Jeremie Frimpong for £29.5m this summer. However, neither Frimpong or Conor Bradley boast the same playmaking ability as the 27-year-old, who plies his craft for Real Madrid after leaving Anfield at the end of his contract in June.

The £116m signing of Florian Wirtz was meant to help the passing of the creative torch, but Wirtz’s struggles have been well-documented this season, and, as analyst Raj Chohan puts it, “the build-up combination is horrible” on Liverpool’s right-hand side this season.

Those around him know Wirtz has world-class potential in the Premier League and could become a superstar playmaker, a poster boy. However, he doesn’t really operate down the right lane, and this is where Slot and Hughes need to fix Liverpool’s progressive passing.

Perhaps that’s why FSG are showing an interest in signing Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, having shortlisted the France international this week, according to German outlet BILD.

Olise, 23, has only gone from strength to strength since swapping Crystal Palace for the Allianz Arena in 2024, and if Liverpool want to secure his signature, ostensibly as Mohamed Salah’s long-term replacement, they will need to pay over £100m.

BILD believe that Liverpool have placed Olise back onto their shortlist despite Bayern’s not-for-sale stance.

What Olise would bring to Liverpool

Alexander-Arnold’s influence at Liverpool cannot be understated. Quite simply, he is a one-of-a-kind type of player, and his departure to Santiago Bernabeu was always going to be more than just a blow to the Anfield side’s pride.

Stats via Premier League

Olise might not be a right-back, but he would prove the perfect Salah replacement at right wing in that he would not try to mimic the Egyptian’s clinical output, and instead bring his own flavour to Merseyside.

At Bayern, the former Palace star has posted 29 goals and 34 assists across 76 matches. He is regarded as “one of the best players in the world” by teammate Serge Gnabry.

Physical and athletic, Olise is also near matchless when it comes to creating for his peers, setting up passing patterns and adding pressure in the final third with unplayable passing.

As per FBref, he ranks among the top 1% of attacking midfielders and wingers across Europe’s top five leagues over the past year for assists and shot-creating actions, the top 4% for progressive passes, the top 12% for progressive carries and the top 5% for successful take-ons per 90.

That is not to say he’s a one-trick pony, with fearsome ball-striking qualities that the Premier League’s many defenders and goalkeepers know only too well.

He has proven himself to be a superstar in the English game, and since levelling up in Germany, Olise has fostered the playmaking brilliance that would see him reinvent Slot’s right flank and rekindle the presence of Trent at Anfield.
