Dele Alli has officially left Como after terminating his contract just nine months into his spell in Italy. The former Tottenham and England international endured another major setback as he managed just one appearance, where he was sent off against Milan. Now a free agent, the 29-year-old will once again search for a new club to revive his career.
Tottenham have reportedly submitted an improved transfer bid worth €70m (£61m/$82m) for Como star Nico Paz, but the Serie A side have rejected the offer. Spurs have made Paz their primary target after missing out on Eberechi Eze to arch-rivals Arsenal. However, Paz wants to stay at Como this season before returning to Real Madrid, who have a buy-back option on the Argentine.
Cesc Fabregas sent a clear message to Tottenham after Nico Paz starred in Como's victory over Lazio in a Serie A clash on Sunday. It has been reported that Spurs are stepping up their efforts to sign the Argentine midfielder after missing out on top target Eberechi Eze to Arsenal.
Argentine musician Nicki Nicole caused a stir as she turned up for Barcelona’s Joan Gamper Trophy clash with Como wearing Lamine Yamal’s No.10 shirt. The global celebrity, who has been romantically linked to the teenage wonderkid, was joined by friends also donning the winger’s name – fuelling further talk about their relationship.
Marcus Rashford left Raphinha stunned as he missed the chance tap into an open goal during a friendly against Como. The 27-year-old forward, who arrived at the Nou Camp on loan from Manchester United this summer with an option for a permanent deal, was handed a golden chance to pad the scoreline. Instead, he somehow contrived to miss an empty net in front of a stunned crowd.
