Joe Rodon is absolutely thriving on loan at Leeds United this season, and the defender has now dropped his biggest hint yet that he will join the club permanently at the end of the current campaign. Despite being with Tottenham since 2020, Rodon has still only made 24 appearances for the Lilywhites (Transfermarkt) and has never quite managed to become a first-team staple in North London. After a tepid loan spell with French side Rennes last year, Rodon joined Leeds United this season and returned to the Championship, the league where he first caught the eye all those years ago. The Welshman has been almost ever-present…
Tottenham signing Lucas Bergvall could be set for a first-team role under Ange Postecoglou, after producing a moment of brilliance for Djurgården, according to Alan Hutton. The wide forward, who is 18 years old, was signed by Spurs during the January transfer window after they defeated Barcelona to his signature. He will report to Ange Postecoglou’s squad for the preseason. Although Bergvall is already a full international, he made an impression at the club level, helping Djurgården defeat Nordic United 5-0 and scoring twice, one of which had him carrying the ball from within his own half and finishing in…
Ralf Schumacher wouldn’t be surprised if the “unrest” at Red Bull drove Max Verstappen to join Mercedes, after all, who “would have thought” Lewis Hamilton would leave the Brackley squad? Red Bull won the Bahrain Grand Prix with Verstappen leading home Sergio Perez in a 1-2 result, however, that was overshadowed by their team boss Horner’s troubles. Could Max Verstappen leave Red Bull for Mercedes? Dogged by allegations of inappropriate behaviour, for which it must be noted a lengthy investigation was later dismissed by Red Bull’s parent company Red Bull GmbH, Horner was back in the headlines on the Thursday…
Ange Postecoglou has insisted that Heung-min Son is completely ‘fine’ and has no injury issues at the moment. Heung-min Son got back amongst the goals on Saturday as Tottenham picked up a crucial 3-1 win over Crystal Palace. It was the 31-year-old’s first goal since returning from the Asian Cup last month, where he suffered a dislocated finger during an off-pitch incident involving one of his South Korean teammates, Lee Kang-in. The Spurs skipper has been playing with his middle and index fingers strapped together since his return and Ange Postecoglou was asked about the injury following Saturday’s win.

Tottenham expert John Wenham is “100 per cent behind” the club’s idea to apply for permission to increase the number of non-football events they can host each year. Spurs are requesting permission to stage up to 30 significant non-football events annually at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, according to plans that have just surfaced. The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was constructed in its place after the original White Hart Lane was demolished, and the team has since hosted a number of significant events, including boxing matches, concerts, and NFL games. Wenham thinks the club will only gain from expanding those activities. “I think…
Former Celtic centre-forward and now pundit Chris Sutton has outlined the current Hoops prospect whom he believes can reach the pinnacle of football. Sutton has commended Yang Hyun-jun, who was harshly dismissed during the Hoops’ 2-0 loss to Hearts on Sunday. Following his return from the Asian Cup, he appeared to be a rejuvenated player. Before the Tynecastle match this past weekend, Yang’s play had shown a notable improvement. The Sunday before last, he made his debut at Motherwell and left a lasting impression. Then, midweek against Dundee, manager Brendan Rodgers started him, and he was named Man of the Match.…
Michigan now has as many losses by at least 15 points (eight) as wins this season. The Michigan men’s basketball team hung around longer than it did on Thursday. But as has been the case for months for the Wolverines, futility proved inevitable Sunday afternoon. With dreadful shooting, sub-par post defense and a glaring lack of depth, Michigan’s putrid season continued with an 84-61 loss at Ohio State. The defeat pushes the Wolverines to 3-16 in league play, setting a program record for conference losses in a season, and 8-22 overall, which ties a program record for most losses in…

In a notable display of discipline, Romero has not received a single booking in 2024, showcasing his improved composure and focus during matches. Despite starting in six games and leading the side as captain on four occasions, Romero has maintained his cool under pressure, a stark contrast to his disciplinary struggles in previous seasons. Since the start of the season until December, Romero picked up four yellow cards and one red card. His red card…
Springboks hooker Bongi Mbonambi has taken aim at England for their antics during the Rugby World Cup semi-final clash last October. A clip has been released ahead of the much-anticipated Chasing the Sun 2 documentary, detailing South Africa’s triumph in the global tournament. In the 45-second trailer, it shows the front-row trio of Ox Nche, Mbonambi and Vincent Koch talking about their encounter with the Red Rose. Impact replacements Steve Borthwick’s men had much the better of the contest for the first 50 minutes, but the introduction of Koch and particularly Nche altered the momentum. The Springboks were committing some unexpected mistakes, and Kurt-Lee Arendse’s…
