It has been a pretty incredible 24 hours for Manchester United fans. Not only did their team sweep Ajax aside and claim their very first Europa League trophy, but they may have also received the biggest clue yet as to whether Antoine Griezmann will join the club this summer.

While the speculation regarding Griezmann moving to United has been simmering for some time, it seems that Paul Pogba may have given the biggest indication yet to his compatriot’s impending arrival.

After a hard night of partying in Stockholm, Pogba took to his Instagram to live stream his own personal celebrations. Part of the live stream included the 23-year-old performing Griezmann’s trademark ‘Hotline Bling’ dance, which he titled “next season”. This video was then “liked” by Griezmann himself, prompting United fans to erupt with joy at what many deemed confirmation to the Frenchman’s arrival.

After Pogba published the video, United fans took to social media to express their delight…

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is confident of landing a deal for Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier, despite the fact the north Londoners will refuse to put a price tag on their man, according to reports from The Metro.

The Spurs midfielder could well be on the move this summer having lost his preferred first team role under Mauricio Pochettino last season, given the form of both Mousa Dembele and Victor Wanyama, and Mourinho is hoping to capitalise on his situation.

The former Chelsea manager is looking for a long-term successor to Michael Carrick, and is hoping that two factors will be able to force Dier’s hand.

First of all, the Portuguese is willing to offer the £18.7m-rated midfielder wages that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy simply wouldn’t comprehend offering a player.

Furthermore, as opposed to using him as a central defender as Pochettino has more often than not over the last campaign, Mourinho will offer Dier the chance to play consistently as a central midfielder.

Apart from N’Golo Kante, arguably no player has had more of an impact on his club’s fortunes than Toby Alderweireld has for Spurs.

Since moving to White Hart Lane from Atletico Madrid in 2015, after impressing on loan at Southampton, the Belgian has developed into arguably the best centre back in the Premier League.

It’s no wonder, therefore, that the North London side are looking to double the 28-year-old’s wages to put him on par with top scorer Harry Kane and captain Hugo Lloris to ward off interest from Inter Milan, as per the Mirror.

It’s easy to see why Spurs are willing to double down on the graceful centre-back when you look back over the last two seasons.

Since arriving, Alderweireld has turned Tottenham from a side on the cusp of the top four to title-challengers almost instantly.

In 2014/15, before the Belgian arrived, Spurs finished in fifth place – 23 points behind champions Chelsea. On top of that, they conceded 53 goals – the 13th best in the league and level with 16th placed Sunderland.

With the ex-Ajax man marshalling the Spurs backline however, the Lilywhites have managed third and second in the league with the best defensive record on both occasions.

What’s even more amazing is that the Belgian rarely seems to have to make a tackle to accomplish this. This is partly due to Spurs’ high-pressure system allowing them to win the ball higher up the pitch, but also due to the 28-year-old’s wonderful positioning and reading of the game.

It’s not just the defensive part of the game Alderweireld excels at, though – far from it.

According to WhoScored, the ball-playing centre back made 7.1 accurate long balls per game last year – more than any other outfield player.

His ability to pick a pass across the field makes him a key outlet in bringing the ball out of defence as well as a threat in initiating attacks on the counter – something which very few centre-halves are capable of.

On top of that, he’s shown his versatility at the back, excelling in both a centre-back pairing and three-man defence – something Mauricio Pochettino will be keen to alternate between and give Spurs a bit of tactical versatility.

Finally, tying another key player down to a long-term contract would be statement of intent for the North London club.

After securing Champions League football last year, Spurs began to sign the core of their side to new deals in order to keep the nucleus of the team together.

And despite falling short last year, signing Alderweireld would demonstrate that they can stay as title contenders and remain top dogs in North London.

If that keeps the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli away from the big clubs for a few more seasons as well, then Alderweireld will be the signing of the season.

According to reports in The Mirror, Tottenham Hotspur and Everton target Josh King, who is rated at around £30m according to The Telegraph, isn’t keen to leave Bournemouth this summer unless he is guaranteed regular first team football next season.

What’s the word, then?

Well, The Mirror says the 25-year-old is a transfer target for both clubs following an outstanding season with the Cherries, with Tottenham and Everton leading the race to sign the Norway international.

However, despite the lure of European football with Spurs, King isn’t keen to play second fiddle to Harry Kane next term, according to The Mirror, while he could find himself in a similar situation if he moved to Goodison Park – especially if Romelu Lukaku stays with the Merseyside outfit.

The report adds that King isn’t desperate to leave Bournemouth during this transfer window and will think about his career and playing more than the potentially more lucrative wages that could be on offer.

How well did King do last season?

He was quite brilliant.

The most goals he had scored in a campaign prior to last season was seven, but he smashed that record and showed that he can be a regular goalscorer by finding the net 16 times in 36 Premier League appearances as Eddie Howe’s men secured a top-half finish.

The 25-year-old showed the consistency and finishing ability that had been missing in recent seasons, and his versatility to play anywhere across the frontline certainly make him an attractive proposition for clubs.

Is there a chance he could still join Tottenham?

It’s difficult to say.

There is no doubt that Kane will be the number one striker at Spurs next year and unless he picks up an injury, first team minutes could be few and far between for King, with a role out wide more likely.

What about Everton?

Again, it could depend on the future of Lukaku.

If the striker does go then King would likely be fighting for the striker’s spot with recent addition Sandro Ramirez, and he would certainly have more chance of playing at Goodison Park in that scenario.

What’s the verdict, then?

Well, King’s views on playing regularly almost certainly mean that he would be better off staying with Bournemouth and proving himself for another season.

However, sometimes players have to take the opportunities for moves when they come their way –such is the unpredictability of the game.

Last week, Mirror Football mooted Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur as potential summer suitors for Leicester City winger Demarai Gray, amid the young winger’s concerns over limited opportunities at the King Power Stadium.

Those concerns now appear to be cleared up, with Craig Shakespeare telling reporters that the 21-year-old should get more game-time in the Premier League next season – something that appears to be linked with Riyad Mahrez’s expected departure from the east Midlands.

Which is good news for Leicester City because according to our poll, Liverpool and Tottenham fans really didn’t want their respective clubs shelling out too much for the England U21, who represented his country in this summer’s European Championship.

Indeed, we asked Spurs and Reds supporters last week how much they thought Gray was worth and whilst a few were prepared to take a slightly more expensive punt, 68% of those who voted rated him at £20million or lower.

Perhaps opinions will change by next summer, should Shakespeare’s promise of more first team football come into fruition.

Manchester United beat Valerenga 3-0 in their latest pre-season friendly on Sunday and following the victory, Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho denied rumours that midfielder Marouane Fellaini would be leaving the club this summer.

The Belgium international scored his side’s opening goal with a header just before the interval to give them a 1-0 lead at the break, with the victory sealed by second-half goals from Romelu Lukaku and Scott McTominay.

The Guardian had reported earlier on Sunday that Galatasaray officials were due in Manchester for talks over a deal for the Belgium international with the club on the verge of signing Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic in a £40m deal, but Mourinho has put an end to those rumours.

The Portuguese boss told Sky Sports: “It’s easier for Galatasaray to get me than Marouane.

“If they need a manager, they have a chance, but Marouane? Forget it. He is too important to me.”

Man United supporters were quick to have their say on their boss’ comments via social media, and the majority were frustrated that they would have to watch Fellaini for another season as he has largely proved to be an unpopular figure during his four seasons at Old Trafford.

Chelsea picked up their first win of the English Premier League season on Sunday with a dramatic 2-1 win over title rivals Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium,After last week’s shock result at home to Burnley, Blues fans were looking for a big reaction this week and were not disappointed, watching their team put in a battling performance to pick up all three points against one of the best sides in England.Marcos Alonso was the star of the show, his free-kick and late finish besting Spurs’ equaliser.It was also a chance for fans to see some new faces get a proper chance in league action with both Tiemoue Bakayoko and Alvaro Morata making their first Premier League starts.Morata of course is the club’s big signing this summer and they’re counting on him filling Diego Costa’s boots and banging in the goals this season. As he still gets used to life in England though, there’s room for improvement. He missed an excellent heading chance early on and failed to really have an impact on the game before being substituted for Michy Batshuayi.Still, fans are excited about his potential and took to Twitter to share their thoughts on his performance against Spurs…

With the pressure on away to Ross County on Sunday, Rangers needed a positive result to ease the pressure on manager Pedro Caixinha and delivered in fine fashion with a 3-1 win.

Comfortable in the first half, the Light Blues rushed to a 2-0 lead thanks to summer signing Alfredo Morelos and despite a spirited fightback from their hosts in the second half, the game was put to bed by another Caixinha signing, Eduardo Herrera.

After a defeat to Hibernian and a draw at home to Hearts, Rangers’ season was in danger of sputtering out before it got started but they can now head into the international break buoyant and hopeful of the future ahead, especially as arch rivals Celtic dropped points this weekend.

It was particularly pleasing for fans to see their new signings click into gear with Morelos, Ryan Jack, Herrera and Daniel Candeias all showing promising signs across the 90 minutes.

Supporters took to Twitter to deliver their verdict on the performance and singled out the new boys for praise…

England are on the verge of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup after they came from behind to beat Slovakia 2-1 at Wembley on Monday night, and it seems as though Arsenal fans are still keeping a close eye on the progress of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

The Gunners sold the 23-year-old to Liverpool in a £35m deal last week after he turned down a new contract offer from the north London outfit, which would have been a huge blow to manager Arsene Wenger in what was a difficult summer transfer window.

However, he may be feeling a little bit better following the midfielder’s performance against Slovakia on Monday, when he struggled in the final third and blasted a shot high and wide of the goal.

The BBC’s chief football writer Phil McNulty only rated him 4/10 for his showing, and Arsenal supporters were quick to have their say on Oxlade-Chamberlain via social media.

While some that they are pleased that the club sold him, others even went as far as saying that he is “useless”.

An out-of-form Everton host Championship strugglers Sunderland in the third round of the EFL Cup at Goodison Park on Wednesday night, and Toffees fans have urged manager Ronald Koeman to give forgotten striker Oumar Niasse a chance to impress.

The Merseyside outfit come into the game having lost their last four matches in all competitions, scoring none and conceding 12 goals in the process, and they are struggling to find the net following the departure of Romelu Lukaku during the summer.

With the likes of Wayne Rooney, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Sandro Ramirez failing to fire, Niasse could be handed a rare opportunity against the Black Cats.

Koeman told the 27-year-old last summer that he needed to find a new club, but he has yet to do despite enjoying a successful loan spell with Hull City in the second half of last season.

Everton supporters were quick to have their say on the striker via social media, and while many are urging their under-pressure Dutch boss to give him a chance, others say he ‘has to start’.
