Borussia Dortmund boss Niko Kovac has insisted that he is happy with Jobe Bellingham and explained that the club are working to build the youngster up, rather than throwing him straight into the starting line-up.

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has slammed his team-mates and demanded the entire squad raises their levels after a woeful performance against Chelsea.

Having made the mistake, the goalkeeper has issued a response.

Midfielder Declan Rice has revealed he pointed to the sky as he celebrated his goal in Arsenal’s 2-0 victory over Burnley in honour of his late auntie.

Thomas Frank attempted to assuage concerns over Tottenham defenders Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence by saying their decision to snub him after the dire derby defeat against Chelsea was only a “small issue”.
