good morning everyone –
Today is a rare Monday Night Football game. No, I'm not talking about the San Jose Sharks versus the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Tottenham Hotspur are back in action against Coventry City!
And if there's one thing I like to do on Monday Night Football, it's checking out fun facts about cities. So let's not waste any time here and get straight to some Coventry fun facts.
Fun Fact #1 : If you like St George's cross and/or dragons, well have I got news for you. Legend says this city was the birthplace of St George, the dragon slayer and patron saint of England. That's pretty dang cool.

Gary Neville is hugely impressed with what he's seen of Carlos Baleba over the last week.
The midfielder has now overseen his first three appearances for Manchester United since making a £70 million move from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer.

Baleba endured a delayed start to the campaign due to an ankle ligament injury that he sustained in pre-season with the Seagulls, meaning his debut only came on October 10 during the draw with Tottenham Hotspur.
His first start then came three days later against Atletico Madrid, which also marked his maiden appearance in the Champions League, and he was also deployed from the off at Elland Road yesterday.

Good news first: it's definitely shrinking. It being 'The Gap'. The Gap being the ***** e between the Women's Super League's entrenched top three and the rest.
It is, though, ***** ailable by pre-match face painting and savvy coaching and, if you're Birmingham City, who snagged a point off ***** nal on Saturday, Oceane Hurtre's left foot.
Of course, The Gap is still there if you're, say, Tottenham Hotspur or Brighton & Hove Albion, the former having suffered a 6-2 defeat to Chelsea before the latter fell 3-2 to Manchester City.
The result leaves Spurs with just two wins from 54 matches played against the WSL's top four (Chelsea, City, ***** nal and Manchester United), Chelsea claiming 13 wins from 13. While Brighton can boast two wins from their 13 meetings with City, Sunday was not one.
"After the first three goals, it was a bit like, 'Wow, are we that good and they are that bad?'" said City head coach Andree Jeglertz after his side's 3-2 victory. "Of course that's not the reality. If you drop a couple of percentages in this league, teams are good enough to punish you. Brighton is this type."

Tottenham have James Maddison back. That is the headline, and for a side still trying to find rhythm and continuity early in the season, it matters.
Roberto De Zerbi confirmed the England midfielder is available again ahead of Everton's visit to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday. Maddison has returned to training after recovering from the shoulder fracture he suffered on the opening weekend against Brentford. Whether he starts is another matter.
De Zerbi was clear enough when asked about his availability. "Maddison, yes (he will be back)," Spurs boss De Zerbi said. On the prospect of him starting, he added: "I'm happy when all my players are available. It is maybe a problem for me because my decisions are not easy. But I want to manage all players together."
Tottenham will not rush him. That is sensible. Maddison missed most of last season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury, then had a limited pre-season, and now returns from another setback. Spurs need his craft and control, though they also need him available beyond one afternoon in September.

Now that Meghan Markle is back in the UK, there's a lot of interest in if she'll be keeping some of her Hollywood connections. A lot of big celebrities attended her wedding with Prince Harry, but not many were seen in the years after as they were living in the UK. Has the time in the US changed that?
Reportedly, not so much. At least not for one particular person. Markle was allegedly interested in having tea with Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who are in London for Jay-Z's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium shows. And yet no plans materialized for a meeting, casual or otherwise.

Chelsea are working on an early deal to sign Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott in a bid to avoid competition for the midfielder next summer.
Bournemouth turned down a £64m offer from Chelsea during the summer transfer window and made clear that any further approaches would be rejected. The Cherries had hoped to tie Scott down to a new deal, but talks so far have failed to find an agreement.
Chelsea are keen to capitalise and want to secure Scott's future ahead of next summer. TEAMtalk are reporting that the Blues are exploring whether a transfer could be agreed in advance of next summer, to avoid a bidding war with Premier League rivals. Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Manchester United have all tracked Scott's progress at the Vitality Stadium.
Scott has emerged as one of the most promising midfielders in the Premier League at Bournemouth and is expected to make his England debut in the coming months, having trained with Thomas Tuchel's squad ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Chelsea are prepared to bide their time and wait for Scott next summer. Xabi Alonso has identified the midfielder as a primary target, as Chelsea look to replace Enzo Fernandez.

Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham Hotspur were held to a goalless draw by Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon, as the Italian coach's 'revolution' in North London struggles to gather pace.
De Zerbi guided the club to Premier League survival after taking over late last season and helped engineer an expensive squad overhaul in the summer transfer window, with over €200m spent on midfielders alone.
However, Spurs remain winless and are now without a goal in their opening three league matches for the first time since 1974. Pressure is already beginning to mount on the former Sassuolo and Brighton boss to quickly find solutions to his side's mounting offensive woes, despite the vast amounts of money spent to supposedly improve it.

Both Sandro Tonali and Destiny Udogie started for De Zerbi at the City Ground today. Tonali, who completed a marquee move from Newcastle United earlier in the summer, put in a full ninety-minute shift and stood out as one of Spurs' few bright spots, dictating play from the base of the midfield.

#zerbi

After a slow start to the season, there would have been hope that this fixture against Nottingham Forest would be the moment things started to click for Tottenham Hotspur. Instead, Spurs had to settle for a goalless draw as their wait for a first Premier League goal of the season continued.
Roberto De Zerbi made three changes from the loss against Newcastle United, with Destiny Udogie and Savio getting their first league starts of the season, and Conor Gallagher returning to the XI in favor of Mateus Fernandes. Forest made one change, as Liam Delap was preferred to Igor Jesus up front.
This first half was full of physicality but not much quality. Both sides struggled to create clearcut scoring opportunities, with set pieces and long-range efforts the only real threats from either side. There was a sort of symmetry to the chance creation, though, as both Spurs and Forest saw attackers in behind one-on-one with the keeper only for the attacker to fail to capitalize and the referee to also call the play back. Omar Marmoush for Spurs was the first, breaking away from Neco Williams to latch onto Porro's long ball, only for a foul to be awarded to Williams for a shove by the Egyptian; while Morgan Gibbs-White was flagged for offside as he sprinted in behind Jan Paul van Hecke.
With both sides failing to score in the first half, it looked like Forest may have opened the scoring in the second. Really poor positioning from Jan Paul van Hecke allowed Gibbs-White to get in behind; Kinsky did enough to at least deflect Gibbs-White's shot, but Sandro Tonali whiffed on a clearance before Williams appeared to bundle the ball into the net by way of a diving header. It was a calamitous concession by Spurs, but one that did not stand for long, as replays showed the ball ended up in the net off Williams' arms with VAR overturning the goal.
A flurry of substitutions followed from both sides as both managers searched for a winner. Neither side was able to muster the quality to create anything to break the deadlock, however, and a late headed chance from substitute Dominic Solanke that went well over the crossbar was the final chance of a reasonably low-quality affair with the match finishing 0-0.

Tottenham Hotspur will lock horns with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday as they look to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. Spurs suffered a poor 2-0 loss at the hands of Newcastle United recently, so they would be eager to bounce back by securing a win this weekend.
Roberto De Zerbi will set his side up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this game. Therefore, Omar Marmoush could get another chance to impress as a centre-forward for the North London club up top.
Antonin Kinsky will operate in between the sticks for Spurs after he conceded two goals in his last appearance. Micky van de Ven will function alongside Jan Paul van Hecke at the heart of De Zerbi's defence as they try to keep the Nottingham attackers frustrated during the 90 minutes.
Archie Gray will operate as the right-back, while Andy Robertson hopes to catch the eye on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent's half.
Marcos Senesi and Destiny Udogie will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Roberto De Zerbi has omitted Richarlison from his Premier League squad for Tottenham Hotspur's upcoming season, while injured duo Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert have both been included.
Every Premier League club is required to register a 25-man squad comprising a maximum of 17 non-homegrown players and eight homegrown players. Spurs had one more non-homegrown player than permitted, forcing De Zerbi to drop someone from the roster.
Richarlison was informed he would not feature in De Zerbi's plans for the season prior to the Premier League transfer deadline, giving him the opportunity to depart the North London club once a suitable offer was received, according to football.london.

Even with the Premier League's attempts to promote economic restraint and competitive balance, the ******* ans of English men's pro soccer are still spending at record levels.
English clubs spent a record $4.7 billion during the now-concluded summer transfer window, up 11% from the prior milestone set last year and more than triple the level from just five years ago. Manchester City also became the first club to surpass $600 million in a single transfer window, spending $618 million, including $169 million for Argentinian midfielder Enzo Fernandez from rival club Chelsea.
That outlay happened despite the club entering a transition period in its first season without iconic coach Pep Guardiola. Man City, however, has picked right back up under new coach Enzo Maresca, winning its first two matches in the just-started 2026–27 Premier League season.
Premier League spending was predictably top-heavy, with Man City and fellow behemoths Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Liverpool, and defending league champion ******* nal combining for $2.75 billion of the $4.7 billion in total spending. Each of those clubs, however, also sold players, bringing in revenue to help counter the transfer spending outflow.
Eleven of the 20 Premier League clubs, meanwhile, set individual records in their summer transfer spending this year.

The dust has settled on what has been an extremely eventful Tottenham Hotspur summer transfer window. You can see how busy Spurs were from the transfer summary article, which isn't even complete despite me doing my best to track it all summer long. (Alasdair Gold counted 54 moves this summer in all squads including reserves and U-squads; clearly I missed some, especially in the youth and reserve teams.) If nothing else, Tottenham Hotspur was certainly not idle.
But how did we do? Well… it's complicated. Spurs spend an obscene amount of money on new signings (£394m by best estimation, not including purchase options), offset a great deal by numerous player sales (£264m including options). The net spend is actually not that bad — £130m all said, which puts it in line with transfer spends in the last few years of the Daniel Levy era.
Spurs have turned over the club in Roberto De Zerbi's image, and whether you think that's a positive or not is very likely going to color your perception of the window as a whole. Matty and I have our takes. Let's see what you think!
Okay, so I'm going to get meta on you all right now. How do you even grade a transfer window? Do you look purely at the players brought in? Or do you look a level deeper, at what those signings imply about leadership and process? In my writing of this blurb, I went back and looked at my summary this time last year (which, by the way I rated as a C+, a rating I would say was pretty apt given the ensuing results, even though many thought we were being overly negative). Here's part of what I said:
There's a few things you need to take into account when looking at this window. There's the actual players signed; there's outgoings; there's the strategic fit; and then there's the timeline by which this happened and the process behind it all. The latter was a resounding, unequivocal failure.

Ukrainian forward Mykhailo Mudryk, whose doping suspension recently ended, has been loaned by Chelsea to Tottenham Hotspur for the 2026/27 season, the London clubs announced Tuesday.
The 25-year-old winger will look to revitalise his career under Roberto De Zerbi, his former coach at Shakhtar Donetsk, who took over as Spurs manager in March.
"I will demand a lot from Misha (Mudryk) and it is our job to help him find the best version of himself. If we do that then he can become a very important player for us," De Zerbi said in a Tottenham press release.
"I am very happy he chose to come here, and I cannot wait to work with him again."
The Football ******* ociation cleared Mudryk to play again in late July following an agreement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) that led to the withdrawal of the Ukrainian's appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

#doping

Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal to sign Mykhailo Mudryk on loan from Chelsea for the campaign.
Mudryk is set to cross the capital and sign for Spurs on a season-long agreement, as the Ukraine winger looks to revive his career.
The 25-year-old was freed to return to football earlier last month after a four-year suspension was overturned. He had been suspended since November 2024 after a banned substance was found in a drugs test but denied any intentional wrongdoing. Mudryk was cleared to return following an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
The winger had been keen to remain in thePremier League as he explored a loan exit from Chelsea and Spurs have now secured his services.
The North Londoners will pay a loan fee for Mudryk, who has agreed personal terms. Spurs will have a non-mandatory option to sign Mudryk for a fee of £75m at the end of the loan, reportsFabrizio Romano.

#return

Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on a Chelsea double deal that will see defender Tosin Adarabioyo and forward Mykhailo Mudryk move to North London as Roberto De Zerbi looks to make further additions before the transfer window closes.
Fabrizio Romano reports that both deals have been verbally agreed in principle, with Tosin set to join Tottenham permanently and Mudryk moving to north London on loan.
Tosin has already agreed personal terms and has been granted permission to undergo his Tottenham medical, while Mudryk's personal terms still need to be finalised.
Tottenham have agreed a permanent deal with Chelsea for Tosin, with the defender now able to complete his medical ahead of the move.
David Ornstein reports that personal terms have already been agreed with the 28-year-old, as Tosin is expected to become Tottenham's ninth signing of the summer as De Zerbi looks to strengthen his defensive options.

Transfer deadline day is upon us — and if it follows the recent trend, we can expect chaos.
Clubs across Europe are frantically attempting to wrap up their summer business, with a host of high-profile deals in the works.
Manchester City are looking to wrap up their move for Liverpool's Cody Gakpo, while Tottenham Hotspur are aiming to bring in Iliman Ndiaye from Everton, with Richarlison heading in the other direction.
Elsewhere across the continent, will Atletico Madrid finally negotiate with Barcelona over Julian Alvarez after their summer-long saga?
Many questions are set to be answered on Tuesday, and The Athletic will bring you all the latest through our dedicated live coverage.

You know, Tottenham Hotspur's pursuit of Mykhailo Mudryk doesn't make a lick of sense to me and I think I've been pretty clear about that from the beginning. But you know what makes even LESS sense? There's apparently a purchase option on Mudryk's loan, and it's 75 freakin' pounds.
I mean, what the absolute ***** ? At some level it doesn't really matter because there's no way on God's green earth Spurs are going to pay that much money for Mykhailo Mudryk, even if he's better than I think he is, which is not good. But even so, why set the option that high? It leaves no way to negotiate, even if Mudryk is better than expected. Like — hypothetical — let's say Mudryk turns out to be pretty good but not amazing and we'd like to keep him beyond his loan, there's no real way we can approach Chelsea and say "will you take £30m" because £75m is now the baseline of expectations. I know Chelsea spent like £7om plus escalators to sign him, so that would represent a straight profit for a guy who was awful in his first season and has not kicked a ball competitively for the last two.
Insanity. But I guess we can safely say we're probably not signing him permanently no matter what, huh?

Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal to sign Chelsea centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo on a permanent transfer, according to David Ornstein.
He is now set to undergo a medical with Spurs, and personal terms have already been agreed.
The 28-year-old is set to become their ninth signing of the summer as Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi continues to reshape his squad.
Adarabioyo gives Spurs another experienced option at centre-back, after Kevin Danso indicated that he wants to leave the club.
Adarabioyo has now made 116 Premier League appearances across Manchester City, Fulham and Chelsea.

Juventus have reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur to sign midfielder Pape Matar Sarr, according to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano.
The 'talented' Senegal international will join Juventus in a deal worth up to €30 million, starting with an initial loan that includes an option to buy.
However, the option to buy will become mandatory if certain performance-related conditions are met, such as Juventus qualifying for the Champions League and Sarr reaching set appearance targets during the campaign.
Talks between the clubs accelerated after Sarr requested a new challenge away from North London.
The midfielder faced increased competition for places under Roberto De Zerbi following the additions of moves for Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali.

After the move was held up for several weeks, Tottenham Hotspur have now given Mikey Moore permission to join 1. FC Köln, according to Sky Germany and Fabrizio Romano.
The 19-year-old is set to join the Billy Goats on a season-long loan, with his medical examination expected to take place shortly.
Köln have reportedly been in agreement with Moore for some time, but the deal stalled while Tottenham waited for attacking reinforcements to arrive.
Moore has made three appearances for Tottenham's first team this season, racking up one goal and one ******* ist.
He spent last season as a regular starter for Rangers FC on loan.

The latest reports on Monday indicate that Juventus and Tottenham Hotspur now have an agreement in place for the transfer of central midfielder Pape Matar Sarr, who is set to join the Bianconeri on loan with a potential obligation to buy.
According to the latest updates from Sky Sport Italia, Tottenham have now given their green light for Sarr to travel over to Italy to complete his transfer to Juventus.

Juve have moved quickly to secure the Senegal international after learning that Franck Kessie had decided to return to Atalanta rather than join Luciano Spalletti in Turin.
According to Sky, Juventnus will pay a total of €30m between the cost of the loan fee and the buy clause **** uming that Sarr's transfer is made permanent. The obligation to buy will be triggered in the event of Europa League qualification and is Sarr appears in at least 50% of the team's matches in 2026-27.

Our weekly Premier League Team of the Week is back for another edition. From impressive debutants to players already in red-hot scoring form, we've selected the best-performing XI from the second round of Premier League fixtures. Who made the cut?
Consecutive clean sheets in what has been a dream start to the season forHull City and their new goalkeeper. The Greek international got down low to brilliantly stop Taiwo Awoniyi's effort in a match-winning moment for The Tigers.
A terrific start to his Newcastle career. After two ***** ists in the League Cup in midweek, Dedic was impressive again as the Magpies won at Tottenham Hotspur.
The Bosnian was a brilliant outlet and set up Anthony Elanga's opener after another adventurous run, while staying solid defensively with five clearances, five recoveries and 4/5 ground duels won.
Mukiele made his mark on his return to theSunderland side with a string of defensive contributions as Regis Le Bris' side got up and running for the season with a win. The Frenchman made a massive 14 clearances on route to a clean sheet against Fulham, and did not lose a single ground duel.

#league #five

Another day, another suitor for Iliman Ndiaye. In today's version, it's Tottenham Hotspur who have reached an agreement in principle with Everton for the Senegal international for a fee of about £60 million.
In his comments yesterday after Spurs sunk to their second consecutive league defeat to start the season, Roberto De Zerbi indicated that Richarlison had asked to leave the club 'many times', and now that will be allowed with a move to the Toffees accepted for about £35 million.
There had been a hue and cry when Everton had been forced to sell Richarlison quickly to Spurs a few years ago for £60m to balance the books at the end of the financial year, when his performances saving Everton from relegation demanded more. Now it looks like the Toffees are selling another forward in his prime for lower than his market value, and to add insult to injury, are overpaying for the Brazilian to return too given how his career has tailed off with injuries and the like.
As of this afternoon the Toffees appear to still be working on a loan for Jack Grealish, close to making a move for right back Kenny Tete from Fulham, and also have an interest in USMNT striker Folarin Balogun. Beto appears to be headed to Fiorentina and Adam Aznou on loan to Malaga.
This latest round of transfer rumours basically indicates that Everton are shifting into "win now" mode with adding older, Premier League-proven players. The concern will be that at the end of the year with David Moyes' contract up, the next manager could get saddled with the debt.

Well, this is something to wake up to. According to The Athletic's David Ornstein, overnight Tottenham Hotspur and Everton reached an agreement to essentially swap attackers — bringing Ilman Ndiaye to Spurs, with Richarlison returning to Everton heading the other direction. This is NOT a true swap deal; these will be treated as separate transfers.
In yesterday's post-match press conference, Spurs head coach Roberto De Zerbi essentially told us that Richarlison asked to leave Spurs for a new challenge. I just didn't realize it would all go down so quickly. According to Paul Joyce of The Times, Ndiaye will cost Spurs about £60m, with Richarlison heading the other direction for a fee of £35m, making the outlay a lot lower than most transfers that Spurs have brought in this summer.
Ndiaye, 26, is a French fooballer who has declared for and plays international football for Senegal. He's been used primarily on the left wing for Everton, but can also play centrally or on the right. He's NOT a striker but could be implemented as a #10 if needed. Ndiaye likes to be on the ball and frequently prefers to take on and dribble past his defenders, which frequently turns into touches in the penalty area and shots. He likes to cut inside from the flank and is also comfortable receiving the ball deeper as a ball progression outlet. His acquisition means that Spurs will essentially only have three first team strikers on the books — Omar Marmoush, Dominic Solanke, and Dane Scarlett — but Ndiaye will fortify Spurs' attacking midfield options. His preferred position at Everton will put him in competition with Mathys Tel and Savinho, but his positional flexibility means he could be an ***** et elsewhere as well. He's also a willing presser and capable of putting in defensive work to make tackles. Despite maybe hinting otherwise yesterday, I'm kind of a fan of this deal.
As for Richarlison… well, I'm sad. He's probably my favorite Spurs player (non-Sonny edition) of this era. He's a vibes guy who always seemed to lift the mood, and it's clear he loved Spurs. But it's just as clear that he's not happy here anymore, and as his career starts to wind down a return to the club that lifted him to stardom feels like the closing of the circle. Everton fans love him as much as we do, and I can't begrudge them, or him, this move. It feels like the right choice.
What do you think of this deal? Can Spurs get it across the line before the window closes on September 2?

Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement in principle to sign Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye, according to The Athletic.
Spurs striker Richarlison is also set to return to his former club in a separate move. The deals are not connected.

Ndiaye emerged as a key target for Spurs after their pursuit of Cody Gakpo stalled.

Leeds United host Brentford at Elland Road on Sunday in Daniel Farke's first home Premier League game of the new season, with both sides chasing a third straight win.
Harry Wilson has scored four Premier League goals against Brentford — his joint-most against any single opponent in the competition — having also scored three against them in the Championship during a loan spell at Derby County in 2018-19.
Leeds have won each of their last three Premier League opening fixtures and go into Sunday having beaten Nottingham Forest twice in a week, in the league and then in the Carabao Cup. Brentford have made an even more emphatic start under Keith Andrews, thrashing Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 before putting six past Birmingham City in the League Cup, extending their unbeaten run to four matches. The visitors are also unbeaten in four meetings with Leeds, though they have won only once in that sequence, with the two most recent meetings both finishing goalless or level.

Mateo Joseph (knee) and Ilia Gruev (knee) remain unavailable. Gabriel Gudmundsson and Wilfried Gnonto are doubts after returning to full training this week following separate thigh injuries, with Farke saying it's "definitely good news" but that the club must "wait how their body reacts." There's no reason for Farke to change a winning team otherwise, with Ethan Ampadu expected to continue alongside Anton Stach in midfield.
