Heart of Lions Overview

Robbie Keane is a managerial free agent, having cut his coaching teeth outside of British football, and Graham Stack has - during an exclusive interview with GOAL - stated his surprise that no club has “picked the phone up and begged” the former Tottenham and Liverpool striker to take their reins. For now, the ex-Republic of Ireland international is waiting on enticing offers to be tabled.

Inter are entering the final stages of a deal to bring Tottenham Hotspur wing-back Djed Spence to the San Siro as a direct replacement for Denzel Dumfries. The England international has emerged as the priority target for the Nerazzurri hierarchy, who are looking to finalise the transfer before the start of the new Serie A campaign.

Randal Kolo Muani has opened up on his difficult spell in the Premier League, admitting that his desire to return to Juventus played a significant role in his struggles at Tottenham. The French international has officially completed a high-profile move back to Turin, becoming the most expensive French player in the club's storied history.

Paul Scholes has identified two marquee targets for Manchester United ahead of the transfer deadline, including Tottenham defender Cristian Romero and Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton. The Old Trafford legend believes head coach Michael Carrick still requires key defensive and midfield reinforcements to build a squad capable of competing at the highest level.
