Foyth joins Villarreal on loan after signing new Spurs deal

Erling Haaland is like a young Zlatan Ibrahimovic and is motivated by winning, not money, according to agent Mino Raiola. 

Haaland has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the past 18 months, bursting onto the Champions League scene with Salzburg before becoming an instant hit at Borussia Dortmund. 

The striker has managed 33 goals in all competitions since his switch to the German club in January 2020, his impressive scoring feats sparking speculation that his stay in Dortmund could be brief. 

However, in an in-depth interview with Tuttosport, Raiola insisted the 20-year-old is happy in his current home, likening him to Edvard Munch s famous The Scream  painting while revealing the true depth of the player s competitive edge.

Burnley have agreed an improved deal with manager Sean Dyche ahead of the new Premier League season.

Dyche took over the Lancashire club in October 2012 and guided them to promotion in his first full season in charge as Burnley finished second in the Championship behind Leicester City.

And the 42-year-old has now been rewarded for his success with a new contract, although no indication has been given as to the length of the agreement.

In an open letter on the club s official website, co-chairmen John Banaszkiewicz and Mike Garlick said: We are very pleased to announce that we have agreed new and improved contracts with Sean Dyche and his staff and we thank them all for their hard work.

France midfielder Yohan Cabaye has hailed coach Didier Deschamps as the driving force behind their excellent FIFA World Cup campaign so far.

Four years ago in South Africa, France exited the tournament at the group stage after registering just one goal and one point, while they only just snuck through UEFA qualifying for Brazil 2014 in a play-off against Ukraine.

In Brazil, however, France have looked lethal in attack and apart from the final 10 minutes of their match against Switzerland miserly in defence.

Cabaye, who started the games against Honduras and Switzerland, believes Deschamps deserves plenty of credit for the way France have performed.

He gave us his confidence. He managed to create a group of players who get along very well, on the pitch an…

Paris St Germain are anticipating further player-plus-cash offers for Kylian Mbappe from European clubs in the days ahead following a world-record £259million bid for the player from Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal.

PSG are understood to have given the 24-year-old permission to discuss personal terms with Al Hilal after they submitted their gigantic offer in writing following the news Mbappe had been omitted from a pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea.

However, sources close to the French club say further bids are also expected, but may take longer to formulate because they are likely to involve a player swap element.

Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham, Inter Milan and Barcelona have expressed an interest in Mbappe since his omission from the pre-season tour …

Carlo Ancelotti insisted Real Madrid deserved to defeat Barcelona as the Los Blancos coach questioned the late VAR decision to rule out Marco Asensio s goal in Sunday s 2-1 Clasico loss.

Substitute Asensio thought he had snatched a late winner at Camp Nou, turning home from Dani Carvajal s cross in the 81st minute before a lengthy VAR check adjudged the Spain international to be offside.

Franck Kessie coolly finished past Thibaut Courtois 11 minutes later as Barca grabbed a last-gasp victory to move 12 points clear at the summit of LaLiga.

Ancelotti was unconvinced by the decision to disallow the goal for Asensio, who was deemed to be in front of Jules Kounde, but lauded a resilient Madrid performance on Sunday.

The Italian said to Movistar: You have to a…

Inter have hit out at  incorrect and misleading reports about the financial state of the club.

A report in Italian newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore said Inter should not be allowed to play in Serie A due to financial irregularities.

The report indicated Inter s consolidated net equity had fallen €29million to negative €83.4m in the period to June 2017.

Italian football does not abide by UEFA s Financial Fair Play regulations, but Il Sole 24 Ore said a chronic deficit in the balance sheet and income statement should block Inter s participation in Serie A.

Responding in a statement released on the club website on Thursday, Inter hit out at the newspaper for inaccurate reporting of the club s financial situation.

With reference to reports publishe…

Bayer Leverkusen striker Javier Hernandez says there is still a chance he will move clubs before the transfer window closes at the end of August.

The Mexico international, formerly of Manchester United and Real Madrid, enjoyed a brilliant first season in Germany, scoring 26 goals in all competitions throughout 2015-16.

But despite enjoying success with Leverkusen, Hernandez will not rule out making a move elsewhere with over three weeks of transfer speculation still to come.

You never know what happens in football, the 28-year-old told Kicker.

In years gone by I have left my club on the last day of the transfer window. I thought I would stay in Madrid and I thought I would stay in Manchester but I joined Leverkusen in the end.

It motivates me i…

Paul Lambert kick-starts his managerial tenure at Aston Villa with a trip to newly promoted West Ham on Saturday.

The former Norwich coach has been handed the task of guiding Villa up the table after the club endured a horrific campaign under Alex McLeish, which saw them avoid the drop by only two points.

The signings of Feyenoord pair Ron Vlaar and Karim El Ahmadi and Brett Holman from AZ Alkmaar will add a much needed boost to the squad.

And despite conceding six goals against Nottingham Forest and Werder Bremen in their final two games of pre-season, Lambert is pleased with the side s performance throughout the offseason.

It will be a tough game at West Ham, but I m looking forward to playing for real, he said.
