Enzo Maresca: Man City titles ‘absolutely not tainted’

Roberto De Zerbi looks like he’s running out of ideas as Villa tear Tottenham apart

Two decades have passed since they last drew blanks in four consecutive Premier League matches

The 16-year-old attracted attention this week after scoring twice in Arsenal’s 4-2 Carabao Cup victory over Ipswich

Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo, whose futures appeared in doubt this summer, both showed their value on the scoresheet as Liverpool booked their place in the Carabao Cup fourth round with a 3-1 victory over Tottenham

Roberto De Zerbi’s team have picked up just two points from four Premier League fixtures, with their only goals coming in the Carabao Cup before a 3-1 defeat at Liverpool on Tuesday ended their run

De Zerbi has Omar Marmoush, who scored seven times in the league for Manchester City in the second half of 2024-25 after joining from Eintracht Frankfurt in January

De Zerbi’s immediate reaction after full-time of their goalless draw with Everton was to give Tel some instructions on the pitch

David Moyes’s team had big chances in the second half through Thierno Barry, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and the former Spurs winger, Brennan Johnson

The 0-0 draw at the City Ground left both sides without a win in the Premier League this season but Forest were close to taking all three points

It was another chastening result for De Zerbi, whose expensively assembled team suffered an embarrassing 3-0 defeat at Brentford in the opening game of the season a week earlier

Naturally, then, he’s been taking himself off to places where he’d expect to be greeted by somewhat friendlier faces, like in Vietnam last week

Since beating Aston Villa 4-1 in late 2024, Tottenham have gone behind 44 times in all competitions and come back to win precisely zero of them

De Zerbi is open to trimming his squad and mentioned midfielder Pape Sarr as one possible departure

Marmoush had a tale of two seasons at City, impressing in his debut 2024-25 campaign before finding consistent playing time elusive behind established players, including leading striker Erling Haaland, in Pep Guardiola’s squad last season

Spurs completed the £85 million signing of Savio from Manchester City on Tuesday to bring a lengthy pursuit to a satisfactory conclusion and the 22-year-old quickly made himself a hit with his new fans

Savinho joins Tottenham Hotspur in deal that could reach £85m

United’s inability to deal with Oli McBurnie as the target man was painful to watch

The Morocco midfielder’s arrival is set to take the club’s summer spend to nearly £200 million (€234 million) after Elliot Anderson’s £116 million (€135 million) signing earlier in the window

Omar Marmoush and Nico Gonzalez are part of the Manchester City squad to face Bournemouth this afternoon, but Tottenham Hotspur target Savinho is absent

It took just one round of the Premier League to puncture the preseason positivity surrounding Manchester United and Tottenham

Chelsea invest heavily under Xabi Alonso, spending £117 million on Morgan Rogers to end four years of underachievement

The Brazilian winger could cost £85m, with Omar Marmoush set to follow him to Spurs, with Roberto De Zerbi revamping his squad after narrowly avoiding relegation last season

Mikel Arteta wants to get his messaging absolutely right

After finishing seventh last season, Sunderland go into the new campaign engaged in continental combat for the first time since a brief adventure in the old Cup Winners’ Cup in 1973-74

While Anderson was first choice alongside Declan Rice for England at the World Cup and made his Premier League debut for Newcastle in 2021, at 18 Bouaddi is still relatively inexperienced

Manchester United are close to signing the Brighton and Cameroon midfielder in a transfer expected to be worth around £70m

Nine clubs (Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Ipswich and Newcastle) begin the season with new managers, with a further two in Michael Carrick at Manchester United and Roberto De Zerbi at Tottenham Hotspur starting their first full season in charge

Roberto De Zerbi is hoping to turn things around at Spurs at successive 17th-placed finishes in the Premier League

Bruno Fernandes has agreed to pledge his future to Manchester United

The agreement between the two Premier League rivals was finalised last Wednesday, with the move officially announced on Monday morning

Eli Junior Kroupi heads a list of Tottenham Hotspur targets for left forward, as they continue one of the biggest spending windows in the Premier League

Tottenham Hotspur have reached a significant agreement with West Ham United to sign midfielder Mateus Fernandes, fending off competition from Manchester United

Tottenham Hotspur are poised to snatch Kyran Thompson from bitter north London rivals Arsenal in a surprise transfer swoop

Both Tottenham and Manchester United are keen on West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes

Morgan Rogers was just six when he joined his first football team, Halas Hawks

The 26-year-old, who signed a long-term deal, called the move a 'dream come true' and is eager to reunite with the Head Coach

Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement with Brighton & Hove Albion to secure the services of Dutch defender Jan Paul van Hecke in a deal understood by the Press Association to be worth £52 million

After Manchester United, Wilf McGuinness’ next job was Aris, followed by Panachaiki, also in Greece

Tottenham sign Marcos Senesi as Roberto De Zerbi continues squad rebuild

The 2026 window is likely to once again be bust, with some huge names set to make big-money moves before deadline day on September 1

United had identified the England and Nottingham Forest midfielder as one of their primary targets this summer

Venkatesham was appointed by executive chairman Daniel Levy, who stood down last September after nearly 25 years at the club

Roberto De Zerbi is hoping to raid his old club Brighton to charge up Tottenham Hotspur’s rebuild, with Carlos Baleba, Jan Paul van Hecke and Bart Verbruggen at the top of his transfer targets
