Spurs Enter Bidding With Bayern For Chelsea's Conor Gallagher

Aug 31, 2023 11:48 AM

Tottenham Hotspur have begun a late pursuit of Chelsea's Conor Gallagher before the summer transfer window ends.

Gallagher has two seasons remaining on his deal and there's a strong chance he tries to leave Chelsea before the end of the window.

Bayern Munich are also interested in Gallagher, who is valued at £50 million.

Gallagher's workrate and ability to play in a variety of roles would make him a good fit in Ange Postecoglou’s 4-3-3 system.

Harry Kane Agrees To Join Bayern Munich

Aug 11, 2023 10:19 AM

Harry Kane has agreed to join Bayern Munich on a $131 million transfer from Tottenham Hotspur. Kane will sign a four-year deal with Bayern.

There was last-minute drama Friday morning as Kane's departure from London was delayed as Spurs sought to refine aspects of the deal.

Ange Postecoglou revealed that the club has planned for Kane's departure all summer.

"It is fair to say I don't have a blow-by-blow account of the whole thing but my understanding is it has progressed to the point where it looks like it is going to happen," Postecoglou said.

"That's all the information I have at the moment. From our perspective, that gives us some clarity that unless something unforeseen happens, we move forward without Harry.

Spurs Accept $110M Offer From Bayern For Harry Kane

Aug 10, 2023 10:59 AM

Tottenham Hotspur have accepted a $110 million offer from Bayern Munich for Harry Kane. Kane must now decide whether to leave Spurs or play out the final season of his contract.

Spurs have accepted the offer, not least because Kane has shown no willingness to sign an extension to his £200,000-a-week deal, which expires in 2024.

Kane has enjoyed the positive brand of football new coach Ange Postecoglou is attempting to implement at Spurs.

Kane wanted his future resolved by the start of the Premier League season.

United Believes Signing Harry Kane Remains Possible

Jul 24, 2023 12:22 PM

Manchester United believes they still have an opportunity to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs owner Joe Lewis has told chairman Daniel Levy that he is not prepared to let Kane leave the club for free next summer.

A deal to bring Kane to United remains unlikely. 

Erik Ten Hag is desperate to land a striker before the deadline with Atalanta's Rasmus Hojlund and Eintracht Frankfurt's Randal Kolo Muani are considered more attainable targets.

Harry Kane Open To Exit From Spurs, Won't Push For It

Jul 20, 2023 12:34 PM

Harry Kane will consider leaving Tottenham Hotspur if they accept a transfer fee, but he won't force a move away this summer.

Kane has refused to sign an extension with Spurs, which puts pressure on them to consider a sale as they would risk losing him in 2024 for nothing.

Daniel Levy values Kane at around $128.5 million, but would prefer not to lose him.

Bayern Munich have had two bids rejected. Manchester United are interested in Kane, but haven't made a formal offer.

If Spurs has a successful season, Kane could be persuaded to stay with the club.

Dele Alli Reveals He Was Sexually Abused, Dealt Drugs During Childhood

Jul 13, 2023 1:21 PM

Dele Alli has revealed he was sexually abused at the age of six and selling drugs at eight.

In a raw and emotional interview with Gary Neville on The Overlap, in which Dele and Neville fight back tears, he gives a candid account of why his career has declined in recent years.

Dele admits that as an adult he was addicted to sleeping tablets and drinking to “escape from the reality” of his difficult upbringing before he was adopted by the Hickford family.

“It’s not something I have spoken about that much but there were a few incidents that give you an understanding. At six I was molested by my mum’s friend who was at the house at lot; my mum was an alcoholic. That happened at six. I was sent to Africa to learn discipline and then I was sent back. Seven, I started smoking, eight I started dealing drugs. An older person told me that they wouldn’t stop a kid on a bike, so I rode around with my football, and then underneath I’d have the drugs – that was eight.

“Eleven, I was hung off a bridge by a guy from the next estate, a man. Twelve, I was adopted – and from then, I was adopted by an amazing family, I couldn’t have asked for better people to do what they’d done for me. If God created people, it was them.”

Dele admits he was addicted to sleeping pills for several years.

“I got addicted to sleeping tablets and it’s probably a problem that not only I have. I think it’s something that’s going around more than people realise in football. With our schedule you have a game, you have to be up early in the morning to train, you have all the adrenaline and stuff so sometimes to take a sleeping tablet and be ready for the next day is fine. But when your dopamine system and you’re as broken as I am it can obviously have the reverse effect, because it does work for the problems you want to deal with and that is the problem – it works until it doesn’t. I definitely abused them.

“I was never really dealing with the problem which was growing and the traumas I had, the feelings I was holding on to; I tried to deal with it all by myself. My adopted family, my brother, there were times they would take me aside crying, asking me to just speak to them about what I was feeling, but I couldn’t do it. I lost myself for a few years, I was just turning everyone away, when I had the family that saved my life crying, asking me to tell them what’s wrong, and I just didn’t want to do it.”

Kane is entering the final season of his contract, but he's been told he is not available for transfer.

Postecoglou, speaking Monday in his first news conference since being appointed as manager of the north London club, said: "I don't think it's my role to sit there and treat people in a manner because of their circumstances. I treat everyone the same.

"Harry is already an important figure in the history of this football club. He's one of the premier players in the world. I want him here and I want to make this club successful. I'm certain he wants that as well."
