      Christian Eriksen could make shock Tottenham transfer return just a year after Inter move if Dele Alli joins PSG

      by

      CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN could reportedly be set for a stunning return to Tottenham.
      The Inter Milan playmaker is on the transfer list a year after quitting Spurs for the San Siro.

      He is enduring a nightmare time under Antonio Conte and has made just five starts this season.
      According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Jose Mourinho fancies bringing Eriksen back as a replacement for Dele Alli.
      Alli could also be on the move after being frozen out by Mourinho.
      A reunion with Mauricio Pochettino at Paris Saint-Germain is on the cards for the England international.

      SunSport reported on Christmas Day that one of Pochettino’s top January targets is Alli, who was a regular for Spurs under the Argentine.

      Eriksen’s lack of minutes for Inter is a far cry from his role as one of Tottenham’s key men in his six-and-a-half years at the club.
      The Danish playmaker left Spurs last January after rejecting contract extension offers when his previous deal was set to expire.

      Another of the 28-year-old’s former clubs, Ajax, are also reportedly interested.
      Inter bigwig Beppe Marotta last month confirmed that the club wanted a permanent sale for Eriksen.
      Marotta said: “We’ve been very clear many times that there are players on the so-called transfer list, these are players who want to play more regularly, and the club is ready to make them happy and find replacements.

      “Eriksen is on the transfer list, Piero Ausilio confirmed as much. He has struggled to settle into the squad, he is not functional to the squad.
      “That is not any insult towards his professionalism, there is no punishment.
      “It’s just a situation that has developed and it’s only fair he goes where he can play more regularly.”

      RB Leipzig confirm Tottenham transfer interest in Marcel Sabitzer as Jose Mourinho eyes January reinforcements

      by

      RB LEIPZIG have confirmed Tottenham’s interest in signing Marcel Sabitzer.
      The 26-year-old midfielder is reportedly one of Jose Mourinho’s top targets for the upcoming transfer window.

      He netted twice in the second leg of last season’s Champions League last-16 clash between the two sides.
      Sabitzer has 18 months left to run on his Leipzig contract and talks over an extension have yet to begin.
      Tottenham’s hopes have reportedly been boosted because his £105,000-a-week wages are unlikely to be increased.
      As a result, Leipzig could opt to cash in on Sabitzer instead of running the risk of losing him for nothing at the end of next season.

      Leipzig sporting director Markus Krosche told Bild: “We wanted to end the year first, both sides will deal more intensively with the topic in the spring.”
      Speaking about Spurs’ interest, Krosche added: “As I said, he has made a great development. It goes without saying that other clubs also notice this.”
      Sabitzer, who joined Leipzig in 2014 when they were in the second tier of German football, would bring leadership and reliability to Mourinho’s midfield.
      The 26-year-old was named Leipzig skipper after a vote among the players earlier this year. He wore the armband for large parts of last season due to Willi Orban’s injury problems.

      He has not let the additional responsibilities diminish his game, however, providing six goal contributions in 16 appearances this term.
      Krosche added: “I don’t like singling out anyone individually but Marcel Sabitzer has really developed well.
      “I also deal with him outside of the field. He accepts the role of captain extremely well and has matured even further as an individual.”

      Tottenham boss Mourinho ‘keeping tabs on Sergio Ramos contract stand-off as he eyes free transfer for Real Madrid icon’

      by

      JOSE MOURINHO is reportedly looking to reunite with Sergio Ramos as the Tottenham boss looks to sign the Real Madrid defender on a free transfer.
      The 34-year-old – who played under the Special One for three seasons between 2010-2013 – is in the final year of his contract at the Bernabeu.

      It was claimed earlier this month that the Spanish defender is considering leaving Los Blancos having been at the club since 2005.
      Ramos is understood to have proposals from English and Italian clubs, while Paris Saint-Germain are also believed to be keen on signing him.
      According to the Evening Standard, Spurs have emerged as a possible destination for the ex-Sevilla star.
      They state that Mourinho is keeping tabs on the player’s situation at Madrid.

      The news outlet reports that the former Chelsea gaffer wants a centre-back in the mould of Thiago Silva.
      Should they fail to bring Ramos to North London, Tottenham could then reignite their interest in Inter Milan ace Milan Skriniar.
      Zinedine Zidane recently revealed that Ramos wouldn’t be leaving his side, and would be a part of the Real squad ‘for many years’.
      He said: “I have a contract until 2022. So I’m not going to ask for anything.

      “I’m going to keep working. I’m happy to be at this great club. I’m lucky to say I’m at the best club in the world.
      “I just hope that the players can stay and that we can keep working with them.
      “When a player wants to stay that means a lot. With Sergio Ramos, I see him staying for many years.

      “He’s looking after himself well and I’m not surprised about what he’s achieving.”

      Real Madrid fear Gareth Bale will be forced to return and wreck transfer plans after failing to shine at Tottenham

      by

      GARETH BALE’s inconsistent form at Tottenham could scupper Real Madrid’s summer transfer plans, according to reports.
      Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland are just two of the names linked to the Spanish giants as they formulate a mega spending spree.

      Having gone the entire window without making a signing last summer, Zinedine Zidane is ready to splash the cash once more at the end of the campaign.
      But a number of factors are said to be crucial to allowing such a splurge.
      One important point on Real’s to-do list is cutting down the club’s large wage bill.
      Among the highest-earners is Bale, whose £650,000-a-week wages are being largely subsidised by Madrid during his Tottenham loan.

      Allowing the 31-year-old to head back to North London was thought to be the best way of him recovering form and earning a permanent move in the upcoming windows.
      However, his inconsistent displays and injury problems have left Real worried that he will return in the summer without a buyer, according to Spanish outlet AS.

      Such an event would once again leave Los Blancos lumbered with Bale and his huge contract that does not expire until 2022.
      Much like his recent seasons in Madrid, the Welshman has been unable to put a regular run of games together.

      Having started each of Tottenham’s Europa League group stage games, he has made just four appearances in the Premier League.
      A knee problem kept Bale out of action in the early weeks of his loan stay before he was forced off in the win at Stoke with a calf issue.
      The winger’s header in that Carabao Cup tie was just the third goal he has scored since rejoining the North London club.
      Jose Mourinho said after the match: “It was his decision – something he felt.

      “He told me immediately when walking to the dressing room [at half-time].”
      The Spurs boss had noted earlier in the month that Bale ‘needs to get his confidence back’ when it comes to playing multiple games a week.
      Should Real successfully shift the forward ahead of the summer, a wealth of stars including David Alaba and Phil Foden could be on their radar.
      One report earlier in the year even suggested the French trio of Mbappe, Dayot Upamecano and Eduardo Camavinga would be targeted as a new wave of Galacticos.

      Serge Aurier says PSG transfer would be a ‘pleasure’ opening door to potential Mauricio Pochettino reunion

      by

      SERGE AURIER has opened the door for a return to former club Paris Saint-Germain — claiming it would be ‘a pleasure’.
      And that would mean a potential reunion with former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, who looks set to take over at the French giants.

      Right-back Aurier, 28, hopes to return to Jose Mourinho’s Spurs side for the trip to Wolves on Sunday.
      A £23million signing from PSG three years ago, the Ivory Coast star confirmed he dreams of a switch back to the Parc des Princes.
      Aurier said: “When I say PSG is the club close to my heart, I don’t want journalists to say, ‘He can’t say that!’ But of course I will answer.
      “It’s the club I’ve loved the most out of all the clubs I’ve played for.

      “Paris is where I turned into a man, as a professional, where I discovered myself more. That’s where I enjoyed myself the most.
      “When I was a youngster at Lens, Paris was the club of my heart.
      “One day, it would be no problem at all to go back, with pleasure. I will never turn down an offer from Paris, that is absolutely certain.
      “If ever it comes up, why not? If it doesn’t, I’m very happy where I am and things are going well for me.”

      Aurier initially joined PSG on loan for a season before spending a further two years at the club. He won the Ligue 1 title twice and lifted the French Cup on three occasions.
      But the defender reckons he is having a good season for Spurs.
      He said: “I work all the time, I’m a hard worker. I’m maybe having my best start to the season of my career, so I’m happy with what’s happening.”
      Aurier — who gave away a penalty in the home defeat to Leicester before Christmas — has also given an insight into manager Mourinho, believing he is calmer than before.
      He explained: “I think he’s changed a lot.
      “Of course, sometimes he has rushes of blood, but I think the fact he took a year’s sabbatical allows you to focus on what constitutes one’s strengths and weaknesses.

      The squad has always had quality, but was maybe lacking some character. I think we’re getting this character little by little.
      Serge Aurier

      “Now I believe he gets less angry and he explains things better in order to get results.
      “Since I’ve been here the squad has always had quality, but was maybe lacking some character. I think we’re getting this character little by little.
      “When I mean character, it’s with regard to what I experienced at PSG.”

      Tottenham WILL allow Dele Alli to leave on permanent transfer this January after five-years of service with PSG keen

      by

      TOTTENHAM will sanction a permanent January move for Dele Alli after giving the club five years of service, according to reports.
      The Telegraph reports Spurs will permit the 24-year-old to leave North London after falling out of favour under Jose Mourinho.

      Alli has failed to make a Premier League starting XI since the opening game of the season and Spurs will look to cash in for market value – with French giants Paris Saint-Germain interested.
      The report states club chiefs would also consider a six-month loan with the hope Alli’s value could increase with some regular playing time.
      And it appears Mourinho wants to keep fellow outcast Harry Winks – restricted to Europa League starts for the last two months – but will let Alli go for the right deal.
      Alli failed to make it off the bench despite the former Manchester United and Chelsea boss using all FIVE subs against Antwerp on Thursday.

      Winks did start the game but was hooked on the hour mark and looked suitably unimpressed – heading straight down the tunnel.
      Alli’s stock has dropped considerably since he played a starring role in England’s run to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals.
      A regular under Mauricio Pochettino, Alli has not been seen in a Mourinho Premier League matchday squad since the start of October.
      The Portuguese boss has admitted it is ‘impossible’ to keep all his stars happy.

      Alli’s meteoric rise after arriving from League One MK Dons in 2015 saw him become a regular for club and country.
      But he has scored two goals in only eight appearances this season for Spurs.
      PSG were interested in taking Alli to Ligue 1 on a season-long loan in the summer and once again are set to renew their interest in a temporary move in the New Year.

      Harry Winks could quit Tottenham for transfer abroad in January to keep his England Euro 2021 dream alive

      by

      HARRY WINKS could move abroad for a way out of Tottenham next month to keep his Euro 2021 dreams alive.
      England midfielder Winks has found himself out in the cold in Jose Mourinho’s Premier League squad this season – threatening his place in Gareth Southgate’s side next summer.

      Harry Winks may be forced to look abroad after falling out of favour at Spurs

      That has left the 24-year-old with no choice but to consider a move away from North London – when the transfer window opens in January – in a desperate search for regular games.
      A number of Premier League clubs are monitoring his situation, but SunSport understands there are also clubs in Spain and Italy who have now registered an interest.
      The style of play in both LaLiga and Serie A would complement Winks perfectly, and would also help his development as a player in a way which would satisfy Three Lions boss Southgate.
      And a loan move to the continent may interest Spurs more than a deal with a Premier League club, to avoid the potential of strengthening a rival.

      Winks started the first three league games of the season, but since then he has made just one sub appearance in the competition and even found himself out of the matchday squad completely on occasions.
      And though he started the Europa League win over Royal Antwerp on Thursday he was hooked just before the hour.
      Mourinho accepts he cannot keep everyone happy and has suggested there may be some who would prefer to leave in January if they feel they need more game time.
      Winks and Dele Alli are thought to be among those he would be open to leaving, and should Spurs indicate they would be willing to strike a deal then a number of teams will make a move.

      Alli is also exploring other avenues and has been linked with PSG after seeing himself fall so far down the pecking order he was not even used as one of the FIVE subs against Antwerp and instead went to fetch a warmer coat.
      Despite becoming an outcast under Mourinho, Alli was named as one of FIFPRO’s 55 best players in the world, ahead of the release of their annual world XI.
      The former MK Dons star made the cut for the first time despite starting just five games since March in 2020.

      Arsenal and Tottenham in transfer battle for Franck Kessie but AC Milan will demand more than £45m for midfielder

      by

      ARSENAL and Tottenham are reportedly set to battle it out for AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie who could set them back £45million.
      Calciomercato reports the North London rivals are both interested in the Ivorian midfielder who has impressed in Serie A.

      Kessie’s partnership with Ismael Bennacer in the middle of the park has helped the Rossoneri storm to the top of the Italian league.
      The 23-year-old’s current contract runs until June 2022 but Milan are hopeful of securing a renewal with the player said to be happy at the club.
      They value him just short of the £50m mark as his stock has rocketed since the start of the season.
      The report states a bid in the region of £23million could have been enough to snare him from the San Siro in the summer.

      But now after four goals and three assists in just ten league games it will cost the Premier League sides nearly double that amount to bring him to England.
      The North London sides believe the player has all the attributes necessary to succeed in the English top flight.
      Kessie arrived in Milan in 2017 on loan from Atalanta before the move became permanent for £21.6m in July 2019.
      The midfielder has featured in every game since play restarted in Italy amid the coronavirus pandemic, becoming an essential part of Stefano Pioli’s table-topping side.

      However, Kessie got off to a tough start at the club, struggling to fit in but denied he was ever going to leave before turning it around.
      He told BBC Sport Africa: “I have never even thought of leaving the club and no one here asked me to do so.
      “Wearing this shirt, which is like a second skin to me, is a source of pride for me and my family.”
      And as Milan chase their first league title since 2011, Kessie is confident they can continue their supreme form as they currently boast a five-point cushion over city rivals Inter Milan at the top.
      He added: “We don’t set ourselves any limits.
      “We are on the right path and we have to carry on working like this.
      “We have great enthusiasm and high spirit. We want to keep it and nourish it even more until the end of the season.”
