2 w. ago Van de Ven brushes off Frank snub and reflects on his Spurs wondergoal

He feels incident with manager blown out of proportionDefender told himself he had to score after storming runMicky van de Ven has downplayed the furore over his standoff with Thomas Frank after Tottenham’s Premier League defeat by Chelsea on Saturday, insisting it was misinterpreted and blown out of proportion.

3 w. ago Moukoko’s arrival at FC Copenhagen offers a cautionary tale for any wonderkid

Once labelled ‘the biggest talent in the world’, the former Borussia Dortmund forward has endured form fluctuations, controversy and criticismWhen Tottenham fans look at the attacking lineup of their opponents, FC Copenhagen, before Tuesday’s Champions League tie, a few familiar names may spring out. Mohamed Elyounoussi, formerly of Southampton and Celtic, has probably been the Danish club’s most dangerous player this season, topping their scoring and assists charts. Jordan Larsson, son of Henrik Larsson, is hugely improved this year and recently earned a recall to the Sweden squad. But perhaps the biggest surprise will be the name of Youssoufa Moukoko, the former Borussia Dortmund wonderkid who was rated as perhaps the biggest prospect in world football a few years ago.The hype around Moukoko in 2020 was astonishing, even before he made his Dortmund debut. As a 14-year-old in 2018-19, the Cameroon-born forward scored a record 50 league goals for the German side’s under-17s, and at ...
