With their star striker Harry Kane out for long time through injury and Son Heung-min away at the Asian Cup, Tottenham Hotspur have suddenly found themselves in some very hot water when it comes to the forward section of their team. Tuttosport have reported that they re looking at Giuseppe Rossi as a potential solution to their problems.
Rossi started his career at Manchester United, but only played a handful of games in two seasons before going out on loan to Newcastle United and Parma. In 2007, he moved to Villarreal. He spent five seasons there, scoring 82 goals in 192 appearances. In January 2013, Fiorentina signed him for €11.8 million. After two more loan spells (with Levante and Celta Vigo), his contract with the Viola expired in 2017, and in December that year he sig…
David Raum has confidently described his move to RB Leipzig as the most important transfer in the Bundesliga ahead of the 2022-23 season.
The wing-back has gone from strength to strength in recent seasons, leading the 2. Bundesliga with 15 assists in Greuther Furth s 2020-21 promotion campaign before adding another 11 in the top flight last term after joining Hoffenheim.
Raum led all Bundesliga defenders in assists, as well as chances created (83) and expected assists (13.9), earning another transfer – this time to Leipzig.
And the Germany defender believes his arrival significantly boosts his new side in their bid to hunt down champions Bayern Munich.
With the new additions that Bayern has brought in, they are probably clear favourites for the champ…
Arsenal defender Pablo Mari has joined newly promoted Serie A club Monza on loan for the duration of the 2022-23 season.
The 28-year-old Spaniard, who joined Arsenal – initially on loan – in January 2020, made just two Premier League appearances as Mikel Arteta preferred Ben White and Gabriel Magalhaes at the heart of his backline last season.
Mari spent the second half of last campaign on loan at Udinese, for whom he played 15 times, and has now returned to Italy with the Silvio Berlusconi-owned club.
Since winning promotion via the Serie B play-offs last season, Monza have made a remarkable 19 signings, including Italy internationals Matteo Pessina, Stefano Sensi and Andrea Ranocchia.
Monza will host the first Serie A game in their history when t…
Real Madrid are in danger of a dramatic Champions League group-stage exit after they fell to a 2-0 away defeat against Shakhtar Donetsk.
If Borussia Monchengladbach defeat Inter later on Tuesday, 13-time winners Madrid will not have their Group B fate in their own hands.
Shakhtar defeated Madrid in Spain on matchday one and earned another upset victory courtesy of second-half strikes from substitutes Dentinho and Manor Solomon.
Madrid are now third in the pool, behind Shakhtar due to their head-to-head record and a point behind Borussia Monchengladbach, who host Inter later on Tuesday.
Gladbach will be out of reach for the Spanish champions should they prevail against the winless Nerazzurri.
Madrid, who next face the Bundesliga side, would then h…

In an unsurprising turn of events, Italian giants Internazionale have on Monday announced Roberto Mancini has left the club by mutual consent only two weeks prior to the beginning of the new season.
The club’s new owners have grown disillusioned with former Manchester City boss over the course of last season and Inter’s 6-1 friendly defeat to Tottenham on Friday was the last straw as Suning Holding Group decided to sack Roberto Mancini.
Farewell Mancini
The Italian tactician has spent 20 months in charge of Inter Milan, but Roberto Mancini failed to make his mark in his return to the club he first managed from 2004 to 2008.
Nerazzurri had a bright start to the last…

Simply looking to finish off the job on Monday night and extend on their Bundesliga status, Stuttgart will travel to the Volksparkstadion on Monday night when they meet Hamburger.
Hamburger
Starting with the hosts, putting in a nightmare display when they travelled to the Mercedes-Benz Arena last week, Tim Walter’s side know that they’re seeking a miracle on Monday night. Eventually getting hit with a 3-0 first-leg drumming, Die Rothosen watched their eye-catching flurry come to an abrupt end. Despite signing off their Bundesliga II campaign with three straight second-tier wins on the bounce, the one-time Stuttgart boss suddenly has plenty of pressure on his shoulders. However, despite facing what is a major uphill battle when the…
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer praised Paul Pogba after the midfielder helped overcome Aston Villa a result that moves Manchester United level on points with Liverpool at the top of the table.
United started 2021 as they ended the previous year with a hard-fought home victory as they defeated Villa 2-1 at Old Trafford, in the process extending their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 10 games.
Marcus Rashford had struck in added time to see off Wolves on December 29, and while they did not leave it so late this time, the Red Devils were still made to work hard.
Solskjaer felt Pogba s ability on the ball helped repel a physical Villa team, the France international impressing again in the United midfield as he continues to improve after recovering from coronavirus.
Gary McAllister finds it hard to believe that either Jurgen Klopp or Pep Guardiola will succeed Gareth Southgate as England manager.
Southgate, who led England to back-to-back European Championship finals, ended his eight-year tenure following their defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 showpiece.
The 53-year-old was often accused of a cautious approach despite only Walter Winterbottom (383) and Alf Ramsey (224) overseeing more England goals than his 213, with supporters wanting to see a more attack-minded manager take over.
And two of the names linked with the vacant position have been pioneers of Premier League football in recent years.

Michy Batshuayi scored twice as Belgium claimed a low-key 4-0 victory over San Marino to strengthen their position at the top of Euro 2020 qualifying Group I.
Chelsea striker Batshuayi opened the scoring from the penalty spot just before half-time in what proved the only goal of the opening period at San Marino Stadium.
Dries Mertens added a second shortly following his introduction after the break before fellow substitute Nacer Chadli notched Belgium s third.
Batshuayi then added a fourth late on with a header to complete the routine three points.
Belgium have won all five of their Euro 2020 qualifying matches but were well below their best in Serravalle.
