      The gang of up to 12 thugs also smashed beauty products after a customer refused to pay for treatment at the shop in Paris.
      Douyna, who was grabbed by the throat, said they may have been targeted because of their footballer brother.
      She added: “We were all shocked and traumatised. I don’t know why this happened and it could be because we are the sisters of . . . (Riyad Mahrez).”
      Douyna said trouble started when a female customer received beauty treatment but would not pay.

      She went on: “Within a few seconds, three cars arrived in front of the salon and these guys got out and came into the shop and started attacking us.
      “They were shouting and insulting everybody. They threw things on the floor and acted without pity. One tried to strangle me while another kicked my little sister’s leg.”

      And former Aston Villa ace Gabby Agbonlahor, now a talkSPORT pundit, said: “I feel like they need a No 10 as well because I’m hearing from a good source that Dele Alli and Mourinho have fallen out.”
      Mourinho said he made the change as he wanted more creativity from his midfield, calling them “lazy”.

      Agbonlahor spoke on the Sports Bar show on Sunday morning, before Spurs’ loss.

      West Ham ready to pay Arsenal £5MILLION to seal Rob Holding loan after giving up on James Tarkowski transfer

      by

      West Ham are ready to offer Arsenal a stunning £5million rental deal for centre-back Rob Holding. 
      Boss David Moyes wants a new defender and co-owner David Sullivan is willing to pay the cash for a season-long loan.

      Holding was in the Arsenal side for the opening game at Fulham but he could still be allowed out once the full squad is available. 
      Newcastle United tried for Holding before talks broke down but the Hammers plan to put money on the table that will top their proposal.
      The offer would cover Holding’s wages and add a premium to make it a lucrative offer to their London rivals. 
      Moyes has had bids for James Tarkowski rejected by Burnley and admits that deal may be beyond him.
      The final offer was up to £30m while the Clarets have rated their England defender in the £50m class.
      Holding would fit the bill as Hammers could afford him and possibly look to buy him if they stay up this season.

      And the 24-year-old knows competition for a centre-back role at Arsenal is tougher than ever.
      Apart from new boy Gabriel Magalhaes, boss Mikel Arteta also has Pablo Mari and William Saliba now pressing hard for a regular start.
      And when you add in David Luiz, Shkodran Mustafi, Sokratis and Calum Chambers, Arteta has eight options in all.

      West Ham owners Gold and Sullivan reject £350MILLION takeover bid from mystery US consortium

      by

      WEST HAM are braced for a takeover battle after a £350million offer was made to buy the club.
      An elusive American consortium approached them last month as the first serious effort begins to wrestle control of the struggling Irons from current owners David Sullivan and David Gold.

      Joint-chairman Sullivan dismissed the bid, but the US-based buyers have vowed not to give up and neither will they be satisfied with a part-share.
      The mystery financiers are already involved with large scale sports in America and want outright power to reshape West Ham for the future.
      Sullivan was contacted in the first week of August – not long after West Ham had secured Premier League survival by just five points.
      The valuation of his club was guided by the £300million buyout going on at the time for rivals Newcastle United.

      Fifty million pounds was added to the offer for West Ham because it is a London club even though, unlike Newcastle, they do not own their own ground.
      ‘EVERY POSSIBILITY BEING EXPLORED’
      Sullivan insists he does not want to sell up completely for the time being but is ready to flog a minority stake.
      The consortium is now considering increasing its offer to buy the club but it is serious about striking a deal.
      West Ham have attracted buyers before  and London stadium sources have questioned the strength of the group’s interest.

      But the American consortium want nothing less than a  51 per cent share so they can take charge of key decision making.
      West Ham were listed 18th among the top earning clubs globally in the latest Deloitte rich list.
      Sullivan is open to investors pumping money in to help with a cash crisis in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

      This potential deal has nothing to do with American billionaire Tripp Smith who bought around ten percent of the club in 2017.
      One obstacle potential new purchasers will face is that Sullivan and Gold will be hit with financial penalties if they sell the club in the next three years.
      But a source told SunSport that ‘every possibility is being explored seriously to buy the club as soon as possible.’
      Sullivan and his business partner Gold took over West Ham in 2010 and moved the club to the former Olympic Stadium four years ago – promising a world class team in a world class ground.

      The team only just avoided the drop last season and there is a growing movement among fans calling for the owners to go.
      Thousands of fans gathered outside the London Stadium last season to protest against the running of the club and black balloons have been released at games to voice frustrations.
      Even with coronavirus restrictions in place, around 25 staged a demo at the gates of West Ham’s 60,000 seater home last Saturday before the team lost 2-0 to Newcastle.

      Liverpool must pay whopping £17.3MILLION rebate as Prem clubs hand back £330m to broadcasters after Covid-19 shutdown

      by

      LIVERPOOL have been hit with a whacking £17.3million charge — for being Premier League champions.
      League chiefs told the 20 clubs last season they faced a £330m collective rebate to broadcasters for 2019-20  as a result of the impact of the coronavirus crisis.

      Now for the first time the League has unveiled the anticipated costs for the 20 clubs in the top flight last term — and the impact over the next two seasons.
      Figures published as part of the Premier League  rulebook for the 2020-21  season outline the anticipated repayments to be demanded from clubs.
      All will pay back around 10.7 per cent of the money that would have been due to them.
      But with those total  pay-outs established by a process involving a basic share plus payments for final positions and live TV games, the money chart does not entirely mirror the end of season table.

      According to the figures, Liverpool’s initial payment of £161.1m will be reduced to £143.8m.
      Manchester City, who finished second, will pay back £16.8m of their intended £156.7m for a total of £139.9m.

      4

      But Chelsea will end up earning £135.2m, £700,000 more than Manchester United despite finishing a place behind them.
      And although Arsenal were eighth last season, extra TV appearances means — even with a £15m rebate — they will bank £2.4m more than North London rivals  Tottenham and take sixth spot in the cash table.

      At the bottom, relegated trio Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich fill the last three money slots as well, with the Canaries losing £7.1m to finish with a £88.1m pay-out for their top flight campaign.

      Parachute payments to the trio will also be reduced by £2.6m this season and £2.2m next term, with the teams relegated this season also each losing £2.6m in 2021-22.
      League bosses have agreed with clubs that no  repayments will be due until the end of this season, allowing the 20 teams extra time to deal with the  financial repercussions of  the pandemic.
      But the League also  confirmed that this season’s three promoted clubs — Leeds, West Brom and  Fulham — as well as the clubs that come up from the Championship next season, have to each lose £8.4m from their expected first season TV revenues.
