Tottenham have made an audacious attempt to bring Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni to north London, according to reports. The north London club are having a difficult time in the Premier League this season with Thomas Frank’s side currently 14th in the table. Tottenham have only won seven of their 23 Premier League matches this season with just two wins in their last ten matches in all competitions under Frank. The Spurs boss is coming under increasing pressure to get it right on the pitch and he will be hoping Tottenham can do some January business to help him out. There have…
The Bertone Runabout concept, which found fame in the 1960s with its radical wedge-shaped design, has finally reached production more than five decades after it was shown as a one-off. The 1969 Marcello Gandini-penned Runabout combined a roofless and doorless body with a 1.1-litre Autobianchi powertrain. Its outlandish design went on to influence Fiat’s X1/9 sports car of 1972. This modern, £400,000 follow-up shares the same philosophy but is a far more enticing driving proposition, thanks to it sitting on a box-fresh Exige (wearing a new VIN) and drawing power from the Lotus’s supercharged, Toyota-sourced 3.5-litre V6 – but both…

Arsenal are top of the Premier League, top of the Champions League, have one proverbial foot in the Carabao Cup final and are bookies’ favourites for the FA Cup. In other words, this is currently one of the more credible bids at the Proper Quadruple we’ve yet seen. Any talk at this time of the season is always, by definition, premature simply because actually winning the quadruple is vanishingly unlikely even when everything is going as swimmingly as it currently is for the Gunners. And if you don’t believe us about how small and twatty the banana skins upon which…
Tottenham are looking at signing Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones as well as Andy Robertson this month, according to reports. The Reds spent over £400m on new signings in the summer transfer window as FSG backed Arne Slot, who won the Premier League title in his first season in charge. However, things have not gone to plan for Liverpool this season with many of their new signings underperforming as the Reds have slumped 14 points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal. One of the positions that the Reds improved was left-back with Milos Kerkez signed from Bournemouth, pushing Liverpool legend Robertson down the pecking order.…

Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp has blamed the Reds players for failing to get the ball out of play before conceding their first goal in a 3-2 defeat against Bournemouth. Joe Gomez was injured in the build-up to Bournemouth’s first goal on 26 minutes, with Liverpool playing on for seven minutes after the restart with ten men, before Arne Slot could bring on a subsitute onto the pitch. Gomez collided with Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson as he attempted to block goalscorer Evanilson and the seven minutes it took the Reds to get a substitute on would prove crucial, as Bournemouth doubled their…

When the opening weekend of a Premier League season rolls around, there will always be excitable knee-jerk reactions to the first round of games. Teams and their players are often rashly written off after a disappointing start or hyped as the real deal, though these early assessments do not always reflect how the season pans out. This was particularly the case with Arsenal’s unconvincing 1-0 away win against Ruben Amorim’s supposedly resurgent Manchester United side at Old Trafford in August. At the time, there were the same old fears about Arsenal being held back by Mikel Arteta’s defensive mindset. Meanwhile,…
Polls in Myanmar have closed after a third and final stage of voting in what are widely viewed as sham elections.Many popular parties are banned from standing and voting has not been possible in large areas of the country because of a five-year-long civil war.The dominant party backed by the ruling military junta is expected to win a landslide victory.The current regime has rejected international criticism of the election, maintaining that it is free and fair.Around one-fifth of the country’s 330 townships, including the cities of Yangon and Mandalay, voted in the last stage. Six parties, including the military-backed Union…
