      by

      JOSE MOURINHO could follow in Antonio Conte’s footsteps and revamp his Roma squad with Premier League stars.Former Chelsea boss Conte won this season’s Serie A with Inter Milan thanks in part to his raid on the English top-flight.

      And recently-sacked Tottenham coach Mourinho is reportedly considering a similar transfer spree ahead of his move to Roma.
      As many as four of his Spurs favourites, along with an old Manchester United star, are said to be on his radar.
      According to Football.London, Erik Lamela and Lucas Moura are both liked by the 58-year-old but his successor in North London may be against a sale.
      Eric Dier and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg are also named by Corriere dello Sport as possible recruits.
      Mourinho was hammered by some Tottenham fans for keeping faith with England international Dier.
      While the addition of Hojbjerg was a rare plus point for the Portuguese coach and he reportedly remains a big fan of the midfielder.

      The report also outlines the Giallorossi’s plans for a new goalkeeper with Juan Musso, Alex Meret, Pierluigi Gollini and Alessio Cragno all eyed.
      Adding fresh energy to the attack will be another key aspect of the club’s summer and Torino star Andrea Belotti has been linked.
      Transfer funds will not be in huge abundance for the new Roma boss and Juan Mata is another tipped to be of interest, ahead of his Manchester United contract expiring.
      Justin Kluivert and Cengiz Under could also be reintroduced following loan spells in 2020-21.

      The Stadio Olimpico side face the Red Devils in the Europa League semi-final second leg on Thursday, their first game since Paulo Fonseca’s summer departure was announced.
      Down 6-2 on aggregate, Roma may find themselves out of Europe next season as they cling onto seventh place in Serie A.
      Mourinho is reportedly preparing to freshen up the club’s backroom staff with midfield legend Daniele De Rossi touted to join once he completes his coaching badges.

      But when asked what the future holds for his England captain, interim boss Mason simply replied: “He’s got training this week and will be preparing for a very important match this weekend.
      “Harry’s a true professional and that’s about it.”
      Mason also insisted Kane was fit to start, despite a lacklustre display on his return from an ankle injury.
      He said: “He’s fit. There were no problems with him whatsoever. He took a couple of hits in the game but his ankle is fine.”
      Now Mason — placed in charge of Tottenham for the rest of the season — has called on his stars to make up for their Wembley heartache by snatching a European spot.
      Spurs face Sheffield United at home on Sunday and Mason said: “Leading up to the final, all of our focus was on this.
      “My players gave their all and I cannot fault their commitment.
      “But we’ve lost and it’s hard to take but now we have to overcome it, accept it and move on.

      “Sunday’s match is massive now. We could still qualify for Europe.”
      Wth five games to go, Tottenham sit seventh but Everton, a point behind, have a game in hand.
      Third-placed Leicester are only six points ahead in the hugely-congested race for Europe, and the Foxes welcome Spurs to the King Power on the final day of the season.

      Vestergaard, 28, has been a regular in the Saints line-up since a 2018 move from Borussia Monchengladbach.
      But his contract expiring in 2022 could force the club’s hand if serious interest arises in the summer.
      According to Italian portal TuttoMercatoWeb, Spurs are working on setting up a meeting with the player’s entourage.
      Roma could steal a march on their progress however with club general manager Tiago Pinto tipped to discuss a switch with Vestergaard’s representatives next week.
      The Giallorossi are described as long-term admirers of the towering defender and could be set for a rebuild this summer under a new coach.
      Juventus are also named as keeping tabs on Vestergaard, although there is no word on imminent talks to gauge a deal.

      Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl insisted earlier this month that the club will ‘do everything’ to keep him on the South Coast.
      The Austrian stated: “It’s nothing new for our players that do a good job for us this season, that they are on the list for some bigger clubs.
      “You can be sure that this player has a contract for Southampton and for as long as he has this he is our player.
      “We will do everything to keep him here and to protect him for everything.”
      I can only say that of course it’s always a pat on the back with stories of interest from other big clubs.Jannik Vestergaard

      Vestergaard featured in Southampton’s 2-1 defeat to Tottenham in midweek, the North London side’s first game since sacking Jose Mourinho.
      And he recently admitted it was a boost to see ‘big clubs’ linked with his name.
      The Dane said: “I can only say that of course it’s always a pat on the back with stories of interest from other big clubs.
      “But right now I have a contract with Southampton so, it’s not something I can talk about.”

      Man Utd told to stump up £10m for Sam Johnstone transfer as Tottenham and West Ham also eye West Brom keeper

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED transfer target Sam Johnstone has been priced at £10million by his current club West Brom, according to reports.The 28-year-old came through the academy at Old Trafford and had seven years there as a senior member of the team but never played a game as much of his time was spent out on loan.
      Johnstone has been sensational for West Brom throughout a difficult season for the clubCredit: PA
      He eventually departed Man Utd on a permanent basis in 2018 as he joined West Brom in the Championship for £5m.
      Having now played 118 times for the Baggies, helping them return to the Premier League and earning himself an England call-up, Man Utd reportedly want to re-sign him in the summer.
      But according to the Evening Standard, they will have to fork out twice the amount they sold him for if they are to secure his signature.
      And if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are not willing to stump up the money, Tottenham and West Ham are also said to be monitoring the England shot-stopper.
      Both Spurs and the Hammers have ageing first choice keepers in Hugo Lloris, 34, and Lukasz Fabianski, 36.
      When asked recently about Johnstone’s future at West Brom, manager Sam Allardyce insisted the club are hoping they will be able to keep hold of him despite the fact that he is entering the final year of his contract.
      “We can only discuss that when we have secured our position as a Premier League club,” he said.
      “That would mean discussion from the hierarchy at the club and look at what they can do with Sam’s contract and try to persuade him to stay.

      “As usual, business is business. Whatever happens can only be decided then, but I think the club would do their very best to keep him.”
      West Brom look set to be relegated from the Premier League as they sit in 19th place with just seven games left.
      Allardyce’s side are nine points adrift of safety ahead of their trip to Leicester on Thursday night.

      Tottenham interested in transfer of £22million-rated Barcelona defender Emerson but face competition from PSG and Inter

      by

      TOTTENHAM are interested in signing Barcelona defender Emerson, according to reports.The 22-year-old Brazilian is currently on loan at LaLiga side Real Betis, where he has played 30 times this season.

      And according to Mundo Deportivo, his impressive displays at right-back have also attracted interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan.
      The Brazilian has been valued by Barcelona at around £22million, so the youngster will not come cheap if Spurs are to secure his services.
      Emerson joined Barca from Brazilian side Atletico Mineiro in 2019 but is yet to receive his debut for the Catalan giants.
      Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham side have been linked with a number of defenders they may look to sign this summer.
      Among those is Southampton centre-back Jannick Vestergaard, who could join his former teammate Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in North London.
      The 28-year-old is about to enter the final year of his contract at St Mary’s, so Saints may well be looking to cash in on him while they still can.
      Another defender Spurs are said to be looking at is Real Madrid centre-half Eder Militao.
      The Los Blancos youngster, 23, has featured 11 times for Zinedine Zidane’s side this season.

      What every Tottenham player earns following Mourinho’s pay rant
      And while the Lilywhites failed in their pursuit of him in the January window, they may well resume their interest when the window re-opens.
      Spurs have struggled to establish a consistent partnership in central defence this season, with Toby Alderweireld, Davinson Sanchez, Eric Dier and Joe Rodon all featuring at various points.
      Mourinho’s side have come under fire for their leaky back line, which has conceded 37 goals in 32 games and seen them drop from the top of the Premier League table down to seventh.

      But Sky Germany now believe the Lilywhites are the frontrunners among the English sides to land Boateng at the end of the season.
      Bayern recently confirmed they will not be renewing his deal after a trophy-laden decade with the Bundesliga giants.
      Outside of the Premier League, he is also being linked with a transfer to Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona.
      But Boateng knows what it is like to play in the Premier League as he spent the 2010-11 season with Manchester City.
      Under boss Roberto Mancini he featured 24 times for the Sky Blues during his one campaign with the club.
      He also played three times on the way to Man City’s FA Cup triumph, so he has already won silverware in England.
      Since joining Bayern ten seasons ago Boateng has won the German title in all but one season.
      He has also won two Champions League trophies in 2013 and 2020.

      At international level the defender also carries a great deal of pedigree having won the World Cup with Germany in 2014.
      He has played 76 times for his country but not featured since 2018 when national team coach Joachim Low decided to leave himself, Thomas Muller and Mats Hummels permanently out of future squads.
      Meanwhile, Spurs will be looking to bolster their defence as they have looked leaky throughout the 2020-21 campaign, conceding 35 goals in 31 Premier League games.

      Man Utd led by Leicester in Boubakary Soumare transfer race as Tottenham also keep tabs on 22-year-old Lille midfielder

      by

      Boubakary Soumare has once again caught the eye of Premier League clubsCredit: Getty
      Having made a name for himself at Stade Pierre-Mauroy after leaving PSG as a youngster, he has aroused the interest of several teams.
      Newcastle failed with a £35million bid for Soumare in the January of last year.
      And Premier League outfit Leicester are the latest to make their interest known with just over a year left on his contract.
      According to the Star, the Foxes are hunting down a deal worth around £30m.
      Bolstering the side for Champions League football will be a priority for Brendan Rodgers’ side, if they qualify for the competition.
      Sunday’s 3-2 defeat to West Ham left the team on the brink of losing their top-four spot, with similarities to last season’s collapse.

      Soumare, who has over 100 appearances for Lille and 12 for France Under-21s, is also said to be catching the eye of United and Spurs.
      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could be preparing for a busy summer window with a new centre-back and striker hotly tipped to be arriving.
      While Jose Mourinho have been linked with a surprise move for Marouane Fellaini amid their hunt for a midfielder.
      Soumare rejected a move out of Lille in January and boss Christophe Galtier praised how the player has dealt with speculation over his future.

      The 54-year-old said in February: “At every transfer window, we talk about him.
      “I know that he was in demand this winter, but he was very clear with the president, he wants to continue with us.
      “The competition, the transfer window, the situation has not always been easy for him, but I think he has greater clarity in his mind.”
