Tottenham transfer news: Spurs step up interest in 26million rated Benfica starlet Jota
Tottenham have stepped up their interest in Benfica winger Jota, according to Portuguese newspaper Record.The 20-year-old has had an impressive campaign with the Portuguese club, netting 10 goals and having a hand in eight more in 29 appearances in all competitions this season.Getty2The Portugal U21 international has a release clause of 26.3 million and would certainly represent great value for money, especially in the age of inflated prices.Mauricio Pochettino hasnt made a single transfer in the last two windows, with Lucas Mourathe last player signed by the club in a 25million move from Paris Saint-Germain in January 2018. Pochettino has steered the club to consecutive top four finishes in that time and taken them to the Champions League final for the first time in their history, where they will play Liverpool on June 1.But the Argentine has warned the club they will need to spend if they are serious about competing with Europe’s elite on a consistent basis.I am not open to start a new chapter with no plan, with no clear idea, with not being transparent, telling you and telling our fans whats next, what is our objective, the Tottenham boss said.I know very well how this business works. And we know very well that we need to operate in a different way that doesnt mean to spend more or less money.Getty2But if we expect every season to be in the final of the Champions League because it is our plan, we need to create a plan. And the plan maybe is different to what has happened in the last five years.And if we believe that if we operate in the same way that we have operated in the last five years we are going to be every season in the final of the Champions League, and we are going to be every season in the top four and competing against projects like Liverpool or Manchester City or Manchester United, I think we are very naive.”Spurs have also been linked with Fulham teenager Ryan Sessegnon and former player Gareth Bale, who is no longer wanted at Real Madrid .

England: 11 years on from the start of Fabio Capello’s reign – where are the starting XI now?
The reign of Fabio Capello as England manager got underway 11 years ago.His first match in charge was a 2-1 win over Switzerland and brought with it hope of finally another major tournament win.Capello came with a fearsome reputation and a CV that included seven Serie A titles with three different clubs (AC Milan, Roma and Juventus) and two La Liga titles with Real Madrid.7After Steve McLaren had failed to qualify England for Euro 2008, the Italian had two-and-a-half years to get his side into shape for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.His arrival was not without its criticism though, most notably from FIFA president Sepp Blatter.Blatter said: I would say it is a little surprising that the motherland of football has ignored a sacrosanct law or belief that the national team manager should be from the same country as the players. Capello started off his tenure by leaving out a number of senior players from his first squad, including Sol Campbell and David Beckham.Jermaine Jenas and Shaun Wright-Phillips scored in the friendly against Switzerland to give England a 2-1 win.7Capello would go on to comfortably qualify for the World Cup in South Africa but his England side were knocked out against Germany in the last-16.It was the match where Frank Lampard scored a superb 20-yard strike but the officials failed to spot it cross the line.7He kept his job following the poor performance at the World Cup and qualified for Euro 2012.Capello did not lead the team, though, as he quit in the months leading up to the tournament.The Italian publicly questioned the FAs decision to strip John Terry and left as a result.But what happened to the team he managed 11 years ago? talkSPORT.com takes a look.

Where are that first starting XI now?

David James: Retired in 2014 and played his last game for England in 2010.Wes Brown: Retired from international football in 2010 and was last playing club football for former Manchester United coach, Rene Meulensteen, in the Indian Super League last season.Rio Ferdinand: Officially hung up his international boots in 2013 but had not played a game for two years. Called time on his playing career in 2015. Now a regular pundit on BT Sport.7Matthew Upson: The centre-back made 21 England appearances, the last of which came in 2010, while he was a pundit during the 2018 World CupAshley Cole: One of the only players from the starting XI to still be playing 11 years later. Now at Derby County and retired from international football in 2014 after 107 appearances.David Bentley: He made just seven appearances for his country between 2007 and 2008. Retired from all football in 2014 at 29 after losing his passion for the game.7Jermaine Jenas: The last of his 21 England caps came in 2009 and he hung up his boots in 2014 after struggling to recover from a knee injury. Now a regular TV punditSteven Gerrard: He notched up 114 caps over a 14-year career with England before retiring in 2014. Now manages Rangers in the Scottish Premiership.7Gareth Barry: Made 53 England appearances with the last coming in 2012. Currently playing with West Brom in the Championship.Joe Cole: The winger made 56 appearances for his country, including at three World Cups.

Who is Miguel Almiron? The ‘heartbeat’ of Atlanta who Newcastle signed for a club-record fee
Newcastle United could have a debut toclub-record signingMiguel Almiron against Wolves tonight.The Paraguay international joined the Magpies fromAtlanta United last month in a 20million transfer.3But who is Miguel Almiron? talkSPORT has found out everything you need to know about the Toon’s newest recruit.

Miguel Almiron factfile

Name: Miguel Angel Almiron RejalaBorn: 10 February, 1994, Asuncion, ParaguayPosition: Attacking midfielderCareer highlight: Winning MLS Cup with Atlanta United

Background

Almiron started his playing career with Cerro Porteno in 2008.He spent five years with the youth team there before breaking into the senior side.Almiron struggled for playing time in his first season as his side lifted the Torneo Clausara – but the following season he made more of an impact, scoring five goals in 19 appearances. His impressive performances caught the eye of Argentinian club Lanus and he sealed a move there in 2015.The following season, he netted crucial goals against bitter rivals Banfield in the Clasico del Sur and in a cup final match vs San Lorenzo.His ability to score crucial goals at vital moments saw him fulfil the ‘American Dream’, and he moved to Major League Soccer to play for Atlanta for 6.1million.

MLS

Almiron joined Atlanta United in December 2016 and became a key member of the side in his first season, scoring nine goals.His fine form continued last season where he was instrumental in his side’s MLS Cup triumph – netting 13 goals an assisted a further 11 last term.3Overall, Almiron has an impressive knack of getting goals from midfield – averaging a goal every three games.Almiron has also made 13 appearances for the Paraguay national team but is yet to score for his country.

How does he play?

Almiron will appeal to Rafael Benitez for his versatility as he can play on either wing or in the No.10 role behind the striker.He possesses a great knack of getting goals, but his attacking prowess is not his only valuable skill – he is also tireless in defence and possesses the determined and hard-working South American work ethic.

What is being said?

Atlanta United head coach Gerardo Martinez once said: “Miguel has a commitment to the team, I’m talking about his commitment to winning the ball back, pressing, he’s a player that’s always working,.“He’s an atypical No.10. Because he gives you everything that a No 10 gives you and he probably dispossesses players like a defensive midfielder.“So as a player who always works hard, he’s never absent in a game, even a game where your team isn’t dominating the offensive facet of the game. It’s very rare to find a game where he’s not.”Former team-mate Jeff Larentowicz once said: Miguel is obviously the heartbeat of our team when hes out there. He make so much happen for us.”While Almiron himself claimed he has always dreamt of playing in Europe: “My objective has always been to go to Europe. I don’t have a specific place in mind. I like the Premier League and I think they play a beautiful and competitive style of soccer.”3
