      by

      Following Spurs’ FA Cup exit seven days earlier, it means the Lilywhites’ wait for a first trophy since 2008 will extend for at least another season.
      Kane is Tottenham’s all-time record goalscorer, hitting the back of the net 267 times for the club.
      But an empty trophy cabinet continues to see him linked with a move away, with Manchester United interested in a summer transfer.
      And Ferdinand feels the only way Spurs keep the England skipper is if he wishes to end his career as a one-club man.

      Speaking on BT Sport, he said: “Whatever happens silverware-wise, Spurs fans will be hoping that Harry Kane is ‘that’ guy. They’ll hope he wants to be ‘Mr Spurs’ for the rest of his career.
      “If I was him I’d be looking at pastures new to get some silverware. It’s not long ago playing the Champions League final and finishing second in the league, but they’re a club that are moving further and further away from where he wants to be.
      “He needs to go where he thinks he’ll get his hands on a trophy quickest.”
      Crouch then offered his opinion on Kane’s future, insisting he must make a move at the end of the season or face spending the rest of his career at the club.

       “I think it’s now or never,” said the ex-Spurs striker. “He’s the club’s record goalscorer, he’s done everything he’s been asked to here. 
      “Then again, the grass isn’t always greener. If he leaves and then sees Tottenham win an FA cup that’ll hurt him. But having said that, the likelihood of Tottenham winning things feels low.
      “I do think he goes in the summer. He’ll look at it tonight and the season he’s had. He is in the 20-goal bracket. There’s no one close to him at the club.
      “I think he’ll perhaps want to move on. I see him at [Manchester] United.” More

      Following the Brazilian’s departure, Camavinga has enjoyed a more prominent role in the team and Madrid now want a reported £115m for him.

      But Arsenal legend Henry believes all of those sides are set to miss out on the England midfielder.
      That’s because he understands Bellingham has his heart set on Liverpool.
      While discussing Kylian Mbappe’s future on CBS’ Champions League coverage, Henry made a passing remark to Jamie Carragher.
      He said: “Bellingham wants to play for Liverpool, right? Everyone knows that.”

      Liverpool legend Carragher, grinning from ear to ear, replied: “I hope so.”
      Bellingham, who is set to cost around £100million, is widely regarded as one of the hottest young talents in European football.
      Earlier this week, it was reported his father, Mark, who manages his son’s career, met with Real Madrid chiefs.
      However, Jurgen Klopp’s men are still hopeful they can agree a deal for the former Birmingham man – who is under contract until 2025.

      And they could use his potential arrival as extra motivation to secure Champions League football next season.
      Liverpool sit fifth in the Premier League table and will move into the top four if they win their game in hand.
      Speaking about Bellingham back in December, Klopp said: “I don’t like to talk about money when you talk about a player like him. Everyone can see he is just exceptional.
      “If you mention to someone who has no clue about football, or who knows about football and has not watched it for a while (and ask) ‘How old do you think Jude Bellingham is?’, I don’t think anyone would get even close to his age.
      “They would say 28 or 29 because he plays so maturely. He played an exceptional World Cup. Absolutely exceptional.
      “With all the things he has and things he can improve, to describe him I would say the things he can do are difficult to learn, and the things he can improve are easy to learn.
      “So, yes, he is a really good player. What can I say? I have thought that already for two or three years since he had his breakthrough at Dortmund.
      “Everybody knew already but I have no idea what that means for the money side of it.
      “I really think if we all want to do him a favour then we do not talk too much about money. I mean that from an England point of view. Do not throw any hurdles in his development.” More

      And the blunt nature of their performance in the last 16 of the competition has left many Lilywhites fans calling for Conte to be sacked.
      The Italian, 53, has watched his side exit the FA Cup and Champions League within the last week.
      His contract is up at the end of the season, but he admitted after the Milan disappointment that he could be axed before the summer.
      And Tottenham supporters demonstrated their desire to see Mauricio Pochettino back at the club as they chanted his name on their way out of the ground.

      A video posted on social media showed them singing: “He’s magic, you know, Mauricio Pochettino.”
      Pochettino, 51, was sacked by Spurs in 2019 after a five-year spell at the club and replaced by Jose Mourinho.
      He guided Tottenham to three top four finishes – including second place in 2017.

      He was then sacked four months into the job and replaced by Conte.
      But Tottenham fans are now thoroughly unhappy with the style of football and calling for change. More

      The Mexican international has helped Napoli to go 15 points clear at the top of the table and is a huge fan favourite.
      However, Lozano’s contract is believed to be expiring in 2024 and that could force them to cash in this summer rather than risk losing him for nothing.

      Now journalist Raffaele Auriemma has told Radio CRC that Chelsea are also interested in what could be a £44.5m transfer deal.

      “In this case, the Neapolitan club can collect 50 million and pay it cash into Sassuolo’s coffers to take Lauriente and Frattesi.”
      Lozano is nicknamed “Chucky” in his homeland.

      SunSport understand chairman David Sullivan and the board are sticking by him but pressure is mounting with the team 16th in the Premier League table and just one point away from the danger zone.
      According to The Times, Carrick is expected to be a potential replacement if the 59-year-old tactician is relieved of his duties.
      That would see the Manchester United legend replacing his former Old Trafford boss in the dugout.
      The former midfielder played for Moyes at Old Trafford during the latter’s ill-fated stint that barely lasted nine months after he replaced Sir Alex Ferguson at the helm in 2013.

      That would also mark an emotional return to West Ham for the England international, who started out in the academy at the age of 16 before his senior call-up two years later.
      Carrick spent five years with the East Londoners, who also loaned him out to Swindon and Birmingham, before his departure for Tottenham in 2004 and ultimately United two years later.
      The 41-year-old amassed a total of six goals and three assists in 153 appearances for West Ham.
      Carrick is still popular among the fans and has earned plenty of admirers from the club’s hierarchy thanks to his impressive work at Middlesbrough.

      The trio of Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are all circling for Fati, whose current deal contains a world record €1billion (£898million) release clause.
      The Spanish international forward, 20, has a contract at Barcelona until 2027.
      However, their president Joan Laporta has announced that he wants to sign another forward this summer but one will have to depart.
      With Robert Lewandowski and Ousmane Dembele being first-choice, then that would leave Fati, Raphinha or Ferran Torres as the likely ones to be sold.

      Fati announced a fortnight ago that he wanted to stay at the Nou Camp – but Catalan journalist Joan Fontes claims that the youngster could be sold.
      He says that the ace feels he should have a bigger role at Barcelona, only his manager Xavi Hernandez disagrees.
      And that has led to Ansu’s agent Mendes offering his client to “half of Europe”’ as he tries to find him a new club.
      Fati was considered the next rising star when he made his senior debut at the tender age of 17 in 2020.

      He has played over 30 times this season, but only ten of those have been starts. More
