Tottenham fans will love what Mathys Tel has been doing behind the scenes amid playing time struggles
Tottenham's 21‑year‑old forward Mathys Tel is building a six‑person support crew to boost his development while game time remains limited. The team includes separate attacking and defensive coaches, a video analyst, a fitness coach, a personal chef and a nutritionist, all working outside the club’s standard programme. Tel’s effort paid off with a spectacular solo goal in Spurs’ 2‑0 win at Chelsea, their first victory at Stamford Bridge since April 2018. The Frenchman’s proactive approach aims to sharpen his tactical awareness, fitness and diet, keeping him ready for Roberto De Zerbi’s chances.
Watch: Jordan Henderson spotted doing something bizarre during Liverpool clash as old habits die hard
In the League Cup quarter‑final at Anfield, new Chelsea signing Jordan Henderson hilariously seemed to forget he’d left Liverpool, raising his arm alongside Van Dijk to appeal for a penalty after Ibrahima Fofana’s handball. The 36‑year‑old, a former Liverpool captain, had just watched Chelsea take a 1‑0 lead via Morgan Rogers’ spot‑kick, but his instinctive Liverpool loyalty sparked boos from the Kop. Cody Gakpo later steadied Liverpool, converting the spot‑kick to equalise 1‑1, and Liverpool eventually won 6‑5 on penalties. The incident underscores Henderson’s deep ties to the Reds despite his summer move to Chelsea.

Arsenal and Man United make enquiry over the situation of ‘special player’
Arsenal and Manchester United have both inquired about the fitness of Bournemouth striker Eli Junior Kroupi, who returned last weekend after a fractured metatarsal sidelined him since pre‑season. The 20‑year‑old netted 13 Premier League goals in his debut season and is contracted to 2030, with Bournemouth valuing him around £80 million. While clubs like Chelsea, Tottenham, PSG and Barcelona showed summer interest, the Cherries plan to keep him through January, making a mid‑season sale unlikely. Both English giants see Kroupi as a versatile attacking option, especially as United grapple with Benjamin Šeško’s injury woes.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, back in training after missing four games with injury, says he “loves” Michael Carrick and credits the manager with saving his career. Mainoo’s return, confirmed for the upcoming Premier League clash with Chelsea on October 29, gives Carrick a fresh midfield option and a loyal supporter amid growing pressure on his tenure.

Gary Neville makes passionate demand to Man United owners amid current crisis
On the Stick to Football podcast, former Manchester United captain Gary Neville urges the Glazer family to sell the club, blaming their two‑decade ownership for United’s ongoing decline. He criticises the Glazers’ lack of connection to Old Trafford and says the time is right for a sale, especially as INEOS holds 29% and a new stadium could boost value. Neville points to the poor start under Michael Carrick, frequent managerial changes, and wasted spending as evidence that only an ownership reset can revive United. Fresh reports suggest the Glazers may be considering selling amid renewed Middle Eastern interest, though no bid is confirmed.
Man City decide Rayan Cherki asking price amid Real Madrid and PSG transfer interest
Manchester City set a €90 million asking price for 23‑year‑old Rayan Cherki as Real Madrid and PSG intensify their interest.

City say they will only consider an exceptional offer, keeping the player despite financial uncertainties.
Liverpool considering summer 2027 move for Barcelona player with “no limits”
Liverpool are weighing a summer 2027 bid for Barcelona midfielder Gavi as a possible long‑term replacement for Alexis Mac Allister, whose current contract runs to 2028 and whose recent disappointment over new terms has sparked fresh talks. Gavi, 22, has seen his Barcelona role shrink amid competition and is tied to the club until 2030, meaning any deal would require a hefty fee. While Liverpool also prepare a new contract offer for Mac Allister—who remains proven in the Premier League—Real Madrid are reportedly eyeing the Argentine as well. The Reds must decide whether to invest heavily in Gavi or retain their proven midfielder.
