      by

      Spanish defender Reguilon hasn’t featured in any match for Spurs this season
      The left-back lost his place in the Spurs team to Ryan Sessegnon under Antonio Conte last season.
      And following the arrival of wing-back Ivan Perisic, the ex-Sevilla loanee was deemed surplus to requirements by the Italian gaffer.
      He has been omitted from all four of Spurs’ opening Premier League clashes with Conte banishing him from the first-team squad.
      Reguilon was linked with a switch to the Wanda Metropolitano last week prior to Spurs’ 2-0 away win at Nottingham Forest.

      And he has now sealed a return to LaLiga, with a Tottenham statement reading: “Sergio Reguilon has joined Atletico Madrid on loan for the 2022-23 season.”
      Reguilon departs Spurs having scored twice in 67 games in all competitions.
      He had seemed destined to join Lazio before Atletico entered the fray.
      Diego Simeone’s side acted quickly in managing to bring the defender back to his native country.

      Atletico do not have an option-to-buy clause in their loan agreement for the player.
      Reguilon isn’t the only star Spurs have shipped out on loan with Tanguy Ndombele signing for Napoli, including a £25million buy option.
      Meanwhile Giovani Lo Celso has returned to Villarreal on loan after spending last term with the Yellow Submarines.

      MANCHESTER UNITED have finally completed the £85.5million signing of winger Antony after striking a deal with Ajax.After a summer-long pursuit, Erik ten Hag refused to give up on a reunion with the winger he developed in Amsterdam.

      And the Red Devils confirmed the announcement of the Brazilian star – more than double what they originally wanted to pay.
      The club said an agreement was in place with Ajax and subject to a medical, personal terms and international clearance, the transfer would be done.
      Ajax stated the deal is worth a Dutch-record €100m – around £85.5m – with £81.3m up front and the remaining £4.2m in possible add-ons.
      Antony is now poised to link up with United after being snapped walking into the club’s Carrington HQ last night.

      In a video circulating on social media, he was beaming as he walked through the main doors at United’s training ground complex.
      However, as Newcastle have seen with Alexander Isak, getting a work permit sorted can take a while.
      Therefore, Antony is not expected to be available to feature away at Leicester on Thursday night.
      That would instead mean he should make his debut in a crunch clash against high-flying Arsenal on Sunday instead.
      Most read in Football
      Antony has racked up 31 goals and 27 assists in his 134 appearances for Ajax and Sao Paulo.
      The nine-cap Brazil international also has two Eredivisie winners medals and an Olympic gold in his trophy cabinet.
      But in a bombshell interview with Fabrizio Romano last week, the attacker begged Ajax to sell him.
      He said: “Since February of this year, my agents came to Amsterdam to inform Ajax of my desire to leave the club to face new a challenge and that some interested clubs would arrive and with them, certainly a great offer.

      “In June of this year, I interrupted my vacation and came personally to inform the managers of Ajax, including new coach, about my wish to leave and that they should consider this possibility, because it was a project for two seasons.
      “During the window months, meetings continued and I also received a proposal from Ajax for contract renewal.
      “I made it clear once again: I want to leave.”
      He added: “Today, in a meeting with the club, I expressed my old interest in leaving, only this time with a considerable offer on the table.
      “Others had already arrived! Ajax refused with argument that they only have five days to replace me.
      “I’m not asking Ajax to release me, I’m asking Ajax to sell me with the highest bid ever for an Eredivisie player.

      “I’ve been insisting on this theme since February so that the club could rebuild the team with peace of mind.”
      Antony becomes Ten Hag’s fifth signing this window after the arrivals of Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro.

      Alexander Isak ‘REJECTED Man Utd transfer after advice from agent’ before sealing record £63m Newcastle move

      But according to Mundo Deportivo, Isak had the chance to go to Old Trafford instead.
      It is said the Red Devils considered a substantial offer for the forward to try and lure him to the North-West.
      However, the report states advice from Isak’s agent led to the 37-cap international turning down Erik ten Hag’s advances.
      And United, therefore, did not make an official bid as they continue to hunt for a new forward – with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Victor Osimhen both targeted.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      That meant there would be no immediate clash for Isak his former side.
      United host Sociedad in their opening Europa League group game on September 8 – less than two weeks after Isak’s exit from the club he joined in 2019.
      Instead, the new No14 chose the project at the mega-rich Magpies and is hoping to make his Newcastle debut tomorrow at Liverpool.
      Eddie Howe cannot select him until he has received his work permit.

      So the Toon are doing all they can to secure clearance from the Home Office – with the paperwork needing to be done and sent to the Premier League by midday today.
      The Isak transfer smashed the £40m transfer records the club spent on Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes.
      Speaking to Newcastle’s website, Isak said: “I’m delighted to have it done. It was a big, big decision for me but it is a decision I am really happy with.
      “It is a great, historical club that I think anyone would like to play for, with amazing fans.
      “They were a big part of why I came here – and also the club’s project, which is one that I really believe in.
      “You always want to go into a team and know how they play.
      “I think Newcastle play very attractive football and I want to be a part of that.” More

      Watch Dele Alli nutmeg opponent, go on mazy run and almost set up brilliant goal just three minutes into Besiktas debut

      by

      DELE ALLI made an instant impact on his Besiktas debut with a brilliant nutmeg and a mazy run.Alli joined the Turkish side on a season-long loan from Everton in August in a bid to resurrect his career.

      He then delivered a defence-splitting ball that nearly resulted in a goalCredit: https://twitter.com/beINSPORTS_TR/status/1564328531844374530
      The 26-year-old spent just eight months at Goodison Park before deciding to give the Super Lig a shot.
      Alli failed to impress Toffees boss Frank Lampard in the 13 appearances he made on Merseyside.
      But Besiktas fans didn’t seem to be bothered by his turbulent career as they gave him a hero’s welcome when he arrived in Turkey.
      And it took Alli just three minutes to show flashes of his talents in his debut for the club against Sivasspor.

      The former Tottenham midfielder received the ball in his own half before neatly slipping it through the legs of an oncoming opposition player.
      Alli then left a number of Sivasspor players in his wake as he charged into their area at lightning speed and then delivered a defence-splitting ball.
      But Sivasspor breathed a sigh of relief as Alli’s team-mate failed to latch onto the acute pass – keeping the scores level.
      However, the miss didn’t matter in the end as Besiktas won the clash 3-1.

      Jackson Muleka scored twice either side of Besiktas’ second goal — netted by former Burnley forward Wout Weghorst.
      And Dia Saba hit a consolation goal for Sivasspor.
      Despite failing to score on his debut, Alli put in an impressive shift before getting subbed in the 78th minute at the Vodafone Park Stadium.
      He lined up alongside ex-Spurs midfielders Gedson Fernandes and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou.
      If Dele continues to impress, Besiktas could turn his loan stay into a permanent £6million move. More

      The Arsenal boss has identified Portuguese forward Neto, 22, as one of his top transfer targets ahead of deadline day.
      And according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, the Wolves man could be easily persuaded to make the switch if the Gunners were to table a suitable offer before the window shuts on Thursday.
      When speaking on his ‘Here We Go’ podcast, he said: “Neto would be really tempted by Arsenal.
      “I am told the player is another factor in this story. He is not forcing anything, as of now, but he will be keen to move to Arsenal.

      “Pedro Neto is their main target as the winger.”
      However, Arteta is reluctant to pay over the odds for Neto having already spent around £120million on signing Marquinhos, Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko this summer.

      Arsenal chiefs were prepared to table a £35m bid for the Portugal international, but Wolves made it clear that they would not entertain any offers of less than £50m.
      The Athletic now claim that a move is now highly improbable with Wolves reluctant to sell.

      The club revealed the news with a short video on social media that ends with Romero giving two thumbs up to the camera.
      Romero has made 32 appearances for Spurs and is a key player under Antonio Conte, which is why the Italian has made him his eighth signing of the summer.
      Reports earlier this summer claimed Spurs would splash out £40million to land Romero on a permanent basis.
      He has signed a five-year contract after Spurs triggered his release clause – which reportedly expired at the end of August.

      Romero becomes the club’s eighth signing of the summer following the arrivals of Fraser Forster, Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma, Richarlison, Clement Lenglet, Djed Spence and Destiny Udogie, who has returned to Udinese on loan.
      But Conte is still not satisfied and has his sights set on Atletico Madrid wing-back Yannick Carrasco.

      Spurs are in talks to sign the Belgian for around £25m with Atletico open to selling.
      Carrasco would provide competition for Emerson Royal but he is also capable of playing higher up the pitch and on the left flank too.

      Tottenham fans rally around Richarlison after ‘proper wind-up’ reply to Didi Hamann over ‘unsportsmanlike’ showboating

      by

      TOTTENHAM fans have rallied round Richarlison after he delivered a cheeky response to Didi Hamann’s claims that he should’ve been booked for showboating against Nottingham Forest.Richarlison treated Tottenham’s 2-0 win over Forest like a training session when he decided to do kick-ups as the match drew to a close.

      The Brazilian came on in the 74th minute and provided a superb cross to Harry Kane who scored and doubled his tally.
      Then with five minutes to go, Richarlison decided to break into an impromptu spell of keepy-uppy to the delight of Spurs fans.
      But not everyone was impressed with Richarlison’s display including Forest star Brennan Johnson who swiftly clattered into the striker, receiving a yellow card in the process.
      Johnson’s fury was shared by Liverpool legend Hamann who condemned Richarlison for being “unsportsmanlike.”

      He fumed: “Nothing to do with showboating. Should have been booked for unsportsmanlike conduct and restarted with free kick to Forest.”
      But Richarlison was nonplussed by Hamann’s criticism and nonchalantly responded: “Cry more,” along with a crying face emoji under the German legend’s post.

      His blase reply was warmly received by Spurs fans who chimed in on the post.
      One fan mused: “We’ve got ourselves a proper wind up and I’m all for it,” accompanied by a crying face and hand clap emoji.

      This sentiment was echoed by another user who said: “We’ve finally got a proper windup on and off the pitch in the team.”
      And a third supporter added: “I love how cocky he is it’s ace,” with a few crying emojis.
      Their enthusiasm was shared by Hamann’s former Liverpool team-mate Jamie Carragher who joked: “This is the type of sxxthousery I can get fully behind!”, with two crying face emojis.
      Carragher’s praise for Richarlison came after they squashed their Twitter beef when the Spurs and Forest match concluded.
      Despite the footy pundit initially slamming Richarlison for his showboating, the pair shared a warm embrace once the game was over.
      Carragher felt Richarlison’s wrath when he criticised the Brazilian’s performances for Everton last season – leading to the forward calling out the ex-Liverpool defender on Twitter.
