Tottenham Hotspur considering Sam Johnstone bid

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Sam Johnstone from West Bromwich Albion in the January transfer window, according to . It has been reported that West Brom have told Johnstone that they will consider bids for him in the New Year, and Premier League club Tottenham are considering making a move for him.

Hugo Lloris is the first-choice goalkeeper for Tottenham, and there is speculation that the North London club want him to sign a new deal and extend his stay. Lloris is out of contract at Spurs at the end of the season. Pierluigi Gollini, signed on loan from Atalanta in the summer of 2021, is the second choice at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Man City set Sterling price

Manchester City have set the price for the services of Raheem Sterling at €80 million amid interest from Barcelona, according to .

Sterling s contract at the Etihad expires at the end of the 2022-23 season, which means it will enter its final 12 months next summer unless a new one is agreed and signed by then.

As things stand at the moment, an extension is unlikely to happen. The 26-year-old is currently out of favour with manager Pep Guardiola, who prefers to name Jack Grealish and Phil Foden in the starting lineup ahead of the former Liverpool winger.

Barcelona are in a difficult financial situation, and even if there without the effects of the ongoing pandemic taken into account, they would still find it difficult to pay that kind of money for a single play…

Bayern keen on Ajax wonderkid

Bayern are keeping close tabs on Ajax striker Viktor Fischer, Dutch newspaper .

De Telegraaf understands that Bayern Munich had the player watched in the weekend s derby match against PSV Eindhoven.

Fischer did not get on the scoresheet in the 3-2 victory, but he, nonetheless, produced a promising performance at Philips Stadium.

Ajax chiefs are desperate to keep hold of one of the brightest talents to have come out through club s youth academy in recent years, but the Amsterdammers have proved unable to prevent their star players from leaving in the past.

Napoli take Reina on loan

Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has agreed a deal to join Napoli on a season-long loan, .

The Spain international’s future had been uncertain following Belgium international Simon Mignolet’s arrival on Merseyside.

The former Barcelona man was one of the highest earners at Liverpool, with weekly wages of £110,000 – a fee considered too large for somebody who could well be a substitute next season by manager Brendan Rodgers.

Napoli boss Rafa Benitez took Reina to Anfield 2005, and the 30 year old has only missed a handful of league appearances in his eight years at the club.

He won the FA Cup in his first season in England, adding the League Cup in 2012, while he also kept seven clean sheets on route to the 2007 Champions League final, which L…

International Friendly Preview: Panama v Peru

Panama midfielder Gabriel Gomez will become his country s joint second most-capped player if he runs out against Peru on Saturday.

The 28-year-old has represented Panama 84 times and could join former international defender Jose Anthony Torres on 85 caps, although Gomez will remain well adrift of Ricardo Phillips, who played 108 matches for Panama between 1996 and 2009.

But with Panama on track to qualify for next year s FIFA World Cup and with time on Gomez s side, the midfielder, who is on loan at Colombian club Atletico Junior from Philadelphia Union in MLS, has a big chance of overhauling Phillips record.

Gomez, alongside star strikers Blas Perez and Luis Tejada, will be vital to Panama s hopes of victory against Peru when the two sides clash in Panama City.<…

Mascherano: I will not retire at Barcelona

Javier Mascherano revealed he cannot envisage ending his professional career at Barcelona due to the physical demands of playing too many games a season.

The Argentina international has been with the Spanish giants since 2010 after a €24million move from Premier League outfit Liverpool.

Mascherano has lifted 13 trophies in his time with Barca, but said he will only continue with the club for as long as his body holds up.

I don t think that will happen [retiring at Barca], the 31-year-old told Clarin.

There will come a moment that because of my age I will not be able to keep up with the demands of Barca, especially physically.

To play between 60 and 70 games and season is not easy.

I would have to play at a club that is more in line w…

Southgate marvels at France´s punishing pace and power

Gareth Southgate conceded England were unable to handle France s pace and power after the 10-man hosts overwhelmed his side to claim a 3-2 friendly win at the Stade de France.

England took an early lead through Harry Kane s wonderfully worked ninth-minute strike but could have been pegged back before Samuel Umtiti s equaliser midway through the first half.

Monaco full-back Djibril Sidibe made it 2-1 at the break, although it appeared to be advantage England when Raphael Varane was sent off for bringing down Dele Alli and Kane beat Tottenham colleague Hugo Lloris from the spot.

But a dazzling France attack, led by Monaco sensation Kylian Mbappe, continued to tear holes in the England defence despite the numerical disadvantage and Borussia Dortmund winger Ousmane …

Liverpool, Benfica vying for Ignacio Camacho

European powerhouses Liverpool and Benfica are showing interest in Malaga midfielder Ignacio Camacho, .

The 25-year-old has long been on the radar of top European sides, but he has yet to leave los Boquerones for greener pastures.

Nevertheless, his big break may come this summer as the latest reports suggest he is nearing a switch to Liverpool.

Neman Grodno 11/10 to beat Belshina in Friday’s Belarusian Premier League matchup

Market: Neman Grodno win

Odds: 

With the Belarusian Premier League still soldiering on despite the coronavirus pandemic, Neman Grodno will welcome top-flight returners Belshina to the Stadyen Nyoman on Friday evening.

Including a 2-0 win against Vitebsk a fortnight ago, Grodno are unbeaten…
