   AC Milan have tried a number of times to sign Mousa Dembele from Spurs, but without success, as they try to tempt him away with one year of his contract remaining.  Gareth Bale has been touted with a move back to Tottenham, but this is rated unlikely in some reports as his transfer fee would be prohibitive and even more of a stumbling block would be his GBP244,000 a week wages, which come at a much lower rate of tax in Spain.  Another Ajax protégé is being talked up for a move to Spurs and this time it is 20 year old Danish striker Kasper Dolberg.
   Heung-Min Son captained and scored for South Korea in their 2-0 World Cup warm-up victory over Honduras before being substituted in the 78th minute.

A lot of dates on this page have not been able to be filled as considerable time has been spent trying to get things working again, but match reports will appear as soon as it is possible to post them and back-filling stats pages and this page will be completed in the next month or so.
Thanks for sticking with us and we hope to have things improving over the summer.
   Pundit Stan Collymore has been spouting that Liverpool should raid Spurs to buy Dele Alli, Toby Alderweireld and Christian Eriksen.  What makes him think that a) Tottenham would sell and b) that would want to go to a club who finished below Spurs this season before making a complete hash of the Champions League final ??. One player who might be moving away form the club is Mousa Dembele, with the hot rumour today being Napoli's interest in him gaining heat.
