Tottenham’s Mauricio Pochettino is happy with what he has seen in pre-season from his younger players and feels Luke Amos could break into the side.

Georges-Kevin N’Koudou scored the lone goal early in the second half to lead Tottenham to victory over Milan in Minnesota.

Tottenham’s Mauricio Pochettino feels English sides are at a disadvantage to European clubs due to the transfer window closing earlier.

Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham will aim to improve on their third-place finish, even if they don’t sign any new players.

Tottenham fought back from two goals down in the Rose Bowl, but Barcelona earned the win on penalties, with Malcom burying the final kick.
Tottenham youngster Marcus Edwards is a target for German side Bayer Leverkusen, sources close to both clubs have told ESPN FC.

Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson shares his thoughts on how Sampdoria’s Lucas Torreira would fit in at the Emirates.

David Seaman believes that although a top four finish is achievable for Arsenal under Unai Emery, their defence needs to be addressed.

Stephan Lichtsteiner joins Arsenal on a free transfer and becomes the first signing for Unai Emery at his new club.

Raphael Honigstein explains why Borussia Dortmund’s Sokratis Papastathopoulos would be an underwhelming addition for Arsenal.
Arsenal have completed the signing of goalkeeper Bernd Leno from Bayer Leverkusen, throwing Petr Cech’s future at the club into doubt.
The deal was announced after Arsenal reportedly agreed a €25 million fee with Leverkusen.
Leno, 26, brings immediate competition for the starting spot and most likely means Arsenal will sell one of their two previous goalkeepers — Cech or Colombia international David Ospina — though it remains unclear which one will have to give way.
Ospina has been linked…
