    Mason on Kane's future

    Tottenham interim manager Ryan Mason has spoken out on Harry Kane's future at the club.

    Kane, who is out of contract next year, has been linked with a move away from Spurs.

    Manchester United are rumoured to be interested in his signature.

    Speaking on the striker, Mason said: "Our focus is on Harry until the end of the season like it is on every other player."

    Mason was also asked about recent comments from Arsene Wenger, who claimed Kane should stay at the club for another year.

    And Mason said: "At the end of the season, there are some decisions to make for different people and different players.

    "The reality is Harry is still a Tottenham player and we are still focused on him achieving more great thing with this great football club and hopefully he can do that."

    Arteta dismisses Xhaka rumours

    Mikel Arteta has played down reports linking Granit Xhaka with a move away from Arsenal.

    German side Bayer Leverkusen reportedly hold an interest in the midfielder.

    And Arteta was asked about those links today.

    However, the Spaniard said: "I am not going to be replying to certain stories but I am extremely happy with Granit.

    "I think he is having an incredible season, probably the best he is having at the club and we are really happy to have him."

    Chelsea and Mauricio Pochettino have reached a breakthrough in talks.

    “Positive contacts took place in the last 24 hours.

    “Nothing signed/done yet — but finally advancing waiting on the next steps.”

    One Fel swoop

    Joao Felix wants to play in the Premier League next season — and not necessarily for Chelsea.

    SunSport understands incoming Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino would ideally like to keep Felix.

    And Todd Boehly could offer several players to Atletico Madrid as the Blues look to drive down his £88million price tag.

    However, Cope claims Felix is not as keen as Chelsea to continue the partnership. He does want to continue in the Premier League after adapting quickly.

    But while staying at Stamford Bridge remains an option, Felix’s primary goal is to play in the Champions League.

    And that could open the door for a move to one of the current top four, with Liverpool also an option should they nick a late spot.

    Manchester United have already been linked with a move for Felix.

    Silva 'pushing for Chelsea exit'

    Thiago Silva has reportedly told Chelsea he wants to leave, just months after signing a new contract.

    Globo Esporte claims the Brazilian has had a change of heart after seeing Chelsea's issues come to the fore.

    And he now wants to walk away from his new deal to seal a move to former club Fluminense.

    It's believed their president has already held positive talks with Silva, and also strengthened his hand by signing close pal Marcelo.

    Kane advised to join United

    Louis Saha has urged Harry Kane to save his career by quitting Spurs for Man Utd this summer.

    He told Paddy Power: “I respect the Spurs fans, and so does Harry Kane but when we look at his career and what he represents for English football, it would be nice to see him win a trophy, but I don’t think that’s going to happen at Tottenham.  

    “As players, we all want a title or a Champions League – that's Harry Kane’s level. To be totally honest, I can see him winning the Premier League if he joins one of the current top four teams. I love Manchester United so much and for me, that’s the perfect fit for him.  

    “Another season without Champions League football at Tottenham won't be good for Harry Kane. I would advise him to consider Manchester United very strongly.”

    Asensio opens door to switch

    Marco Asensio admits he is likely to leave Real Madrid when his contract expires this summer.

    He said: “Honestly, I don’t know what will happen. I have not thought about it or weighed it up. I can’t give an answer right now.

    “The speculation is normal. From July, I am free to sign for another club.

    "A lot more will come out. I am in a world where there are a lot of rumours and I can’t control that.”

    No Blind spot for Daley

    Former Man Utd star Daley Blind has been offered a return to his old club.

    That’s to Ajax though, not the Red Devils.

    Blind is set to depart Bayern Munich when his deal expires this summer — just months after leaving Ajax in the winter.

    But reports in Holland claim the Dutch side are eager to re-sign Blind, with the player also keen on a reunion.

    Bellingham urged to snub Real

    Didi Hamann believes Jude Bellingham should snub a mega-money Real Madrid deal and stay at Borussia Dortmund this summer.

    He told Bestgamblingsites: "I think for him, for his development, it would be best to stay one more season at Dortmund and then move on, move wherever he wants.

    "I think there is a chance because the longer it goes on, and there’s no finalising of a deal with anyone, it gives Dortmund more of a chance to keep him.

    "If Dortmund are to win the League this season, he’ll be part of an invincible team and the people of Dortmund will never forget that."

    Rice ‘perfect match’ for Gunners

    Arsenal and Declan Rice are a match made in heaven, according to Tim Sherwood.

    He told William Hill: “I would be surprised if he was still there [at West Ham] next season.

    “He’s been heavily linked with Arsenal and I think that would be a perfect move for him. I think he’d make a real difference.

    “It looks like Granit Xhaka is going to move on with it being the end of his contract and Declan looks the perfect player to slot into that role and improve it.”

    Chelsea flop back in action

    That’s despite signing a new Everton deal until 2027 earlier this year.

    Transfer news latest

    Tottenham are confident of keeping Harry Kane and Chelsea loanee Joao Felix wants to join an English Champions League club.

    On top of that, World Cup-winning keeper Emiliano Martinez is tipped back home in Argentina to leave Aston Villa for a major Prem rival this summer.

    Spurs are rated favourites ahead of the Red Devils and Chelsea for Martinez.

    United are also said to be monitoring Anderlecht stopper Bart Verbruggen.

    Manchester United, PSG and Bayern Munich will reportedly find it even tougher than expected to lure £100million-rated England captain Kane from Spurs.

    And it's claimed the "priority" of Atletico Madrid attacker Felix is to join a top-four Prem team. 

    Brighton have been linked with Sassuolo midfielder Davide Frattesi – amid speculation Alexis Mac Allister will depart the Amex for United or Liverpool.

    Old Trafford loanee Wout Weghorst could join PSV from parent club Burnley.

    And Arsenal are expected to soon tie up a new long-term contract for England winger Bukayo Saka.

    City hope to nick Nwaneri

    Manchester City are said to be confident of signing 16-year-old Arsenal midfielder Ethan Nwaneri.

    Football Insider suggest City are frontrunners ahead of Chelsea as the Gunners are twitchy, knowing he can’t sign a pro deal until he is 17 on March 21 next year.

    It’s also claimed Nwaneri’s possible exit could pose questions over Arsenal’s ability to keep the pick of their Hale End Academy talent.

    Utd 'fear missing out on Kane'

    Manchester United fear missing out on Harry Kane.

    That’s according to the Mirror, who suggest Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Goncalo Ramos from Benfica could be more realistic strike options.

    England skipper Kane, 29, has just a year left on his Tottenham contract.

    But it’s thought Spurs would still prefer to keep him this summer rather than risk losing him for next in 2024.

    Bayern Munich and more recently PSG have been linked with Kane.

    But The Mirror reckon Spurs will prey on his loyalty.

    Martinez tipped for summer exit

    Emiliano Martinez has been tipped to leave Aston Villa this summer by a TV sports channel in his home country Argentina.

    Their reporter Gaston Edul claims Spurs are frontrunners for the World Cup-winning keeper ahead of Manchester United and Chelsea.

    Edul tweeted: “Dibu Martinez is likely to change clubs in June.

    “There are three Premier League clubs that have it in the pipeline: Tottenham – with more interest, Chelsea and Manchester United. Very likely to go a step further in the next market.”

    Martinez has a save rate of 73.6% this season, compared to 70% for current Red Devils' No1 David de Gea.

    Brighton linked with ‘Mac Allister replacement’

    Four-cap Italian Frattesi, 23, has been linked with several clubs, including Juventus.

    And Sassuolo CEO Giovanni Carnevalli told Il Foglio “there are also Premier League clubs keen”.

    Brighton are understood to be one of Frattesi’s English admirers – with Arsenal target Moises Caicedo as well as Mac Allister likely to be summer transfer targets.

    Arsenal 'won't suit Balogun'

    Folarin Balogun needs a team suited to his style – and it's not Arsenal.

    That's the verdict of ex-Liverpool winger John Barnes as the England Under-21 striker nears the end of a glorious loan season with Ligue 1 club Reims.

    England legend Barnes told bettingexpert.com: "Balogun is doing really well for Reims because the way they are playing suits him very well.

    "But just because he is doing well for Reims that doesn’t mean he all of a sudden will come back to England and perform in the same way.”

    “Tammy Abraham is doing well at Roma and Smalling as well because they are playing a kind of football that suits them, which is what matters.”

    “So, just because he is doing well overseas doesn’t mean that he will come back to Arsenal and play instead of Jesus or Nketiah.

    “I think he should either stay there or move to a club that suits him very well and I don’t necessarily think that he is going back to Arsenal.”
