DEAL IN MOTION: EVERTON PLANNING €70M SWOOP FOR SCOTT MCTOMINAY

A €70 million offer for Scott McTominay is reportedly being carefully considered by Everton, according to Fichajes. After an outstanding Serie A title-winning season, the Napoli star has beyond expectations, and the Toffees are considering the former Manchester United midfielder as a potential addition to their team soon.

In the summer of 2024, Napoli easily acquired Scott McTominay from Manchester United, giving the player a fresh start under Antonio Conte. With efforts that went above and beyond expectations, the Scottish international helped his club win the league title and was awarded Serie A's MVP.

Several English clubs are already feeling guilty about not pursuing the midfield player while he was playing for Manchester United. Since the summer window ended and he started a new season in Serie A, the talismanic player, who placed in the top 20 for the Ballon d'Or, has captured their interest once more.

Numerous elite teams have already expressed interest, and Napoli is not even thinking about selling the midfield player anytime soon. The prospects of those interested parties may be ruined before the January window, but McTominay is content with life in Italy.

For example, Tottenham is interested, although it is unlikely that they would buy McTominay anytime soon. Everton is reportedly considering making a huge bid of €70 million to test Napoli's resolve, and they are also interested in the midfield player.

According to reports, Everton is preparing a €70 million bid to try to test Napoli's commitment to McTominay. The Toffees are eager to add a player who can strengthen their midfield and contribute to the offence, and the 28-year-old is thought to be the ideal fit for their midfield. Everton is prepared to pay a price that would cause Napoli to triple their investment in their lucky star.

They will have a tough time persuading the Scotland international back to the Premier League, though, since teams from the Champions League will be interested in him. Therefore, even though Everton is willing to spend a lot of money, it is unlikely that Napoli will sell very soon, and the Toffees will outbid rivals for the 28-year-old right now.

Tottenham Confirm Bruno Saltor as Assistant Coach Under Igor Tudor

Tottenham Hotspur just shook up their coaching staff, bringing in Bruno Saltor, a guy who’s worked with Chelsea and West Ham in the past.

Saltor’s stepping in alongside interim boss Igor Tudor until the season wraps up. Spurs let go of Thomas Frank earlier this month, and, like Manchester United, they’ve decided to go with a temporary setup for now and figure out the bigger picture in the summer.

Tudor, who’s managed clubs like Marseille, Lazio, and Juventus, is set to take charge for the first time this weekend in the North London derby against Arsenal. Saltor will be in the dugout for his first Spurs match, too.

If you’ve followed Saltor’s career, you might know he’s often worked with Graham Potter. That’s how he ended up at both Chelsea and West Ham. When Potter left Chelsea in 2023, Saltor took over as interim head coach. His one match in charge ended in a 0-0 draw with Liverpool. Frank Lampard replaced him soon after, and Saltor stayed on as part of the coaching staff until Mauricio Pochettino arrived, at which point he moved on. He later reunited with Potter at West Ham but left when Potter did in September.

Tottenham’s official statement confirmed the news: “Following the arrival of Igor Tudor as Head Coach until the end of the season, we can now confirm the appointment of three additional coaches to our Men’s First Team coaching staff. We welcome Bruno Saltor as Igor's assistant coach." Born in El Masnou, Spain, Saltor started his playing career in his home country before joining Brighton in 2012. He made 235 appearances there over seven years, then moved into coaching with the Seagulls after retiring in 2019. Since then, he’s picked up experience at Chelsea and West Ham.

Along with Saltor’s appointment, Spurs also announced some departures. Justin Cochrane, John Heitinga, and Chris Haslam are all leaving the coaching staff after Frank’s exit. The club thanked them for their efforts and wished them well.

GLASNER OUT? CRYSTAL PALACE CONSIDERING IMMEDIATE EXIT FOR BOSS AFTER DISMAL EUROPEAN DRAW

Oliver Glasner’s exit is imminent! Discover why Robbie Keane has emerged as the favorite to lead Crystal Palace out of crisis.

Odds crash on Robbie Keane becoming the next Crystal Palace manager.

Oliver Glasner was supposed to stick around at Crystal Palace until the end of the season. That was the plan, anyway. But after another rough run of results, his exit could come a lot sooner.

Thursday night in Bosnia should’ve been nothing special, just a routine first leg against a team Palace should handle easily, with the real test back at Selhurst Park next week. Instead, a 1-1 draw against Zrinjski Mostar turned into another mess in a season that’s gotten uglier by the week for Glasner and Palace.

The travelling fans didn’t hide how they felt.

Palace have only managed one win in their last 15 games. That’s not a blip; it’s a full-on collapse, and it looks like Glasner’s time might be up even faster than everyone thought.

People at the top of the club have started openly asking if letting Glasner finish out his contract is actually hurting more than helping. He said back in January that he’d leave when his deal was up in the summer, but with results falling off a cliff and morale at rock bottom, those discussions have picked up speed.

Word is, Palace have already started looking for Glasner’s replacement, planning for a summer hire. But now, it looks like they might bring in his successor right away.

One name has shot straight to the top of the list: Robbie Keane.

TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook says Palace are considering Keane as a short-term fix if Glasner goes before the season ends. Keane’s reputation has soared lately. He won the Israeli Premier League with Maccabi Tel Aviv, then took the Hungarian league title in his first season at Ferencváros.

His win rate at Maccabi was over 73 per cent. He’s also done time as an assistant coach at Leeds and Middlesbrough. People who’ve played for him, like Ireland’s Callum O’Dowda, rave about him. O’Dowda said, “As soon as he opens his mouth, you want to listen. It’s phenomenal, really. On the coaching side,e he has been good.”

For now, Keane is still in charge at Ferencvaros, who are still in the Europa League, so prying him away won’t be simple.

Palace sit 13th in the Premier League, eight points clear of the relegation zone, but that gap feels less safe with every week they fail to win.

Tottenham even considered Keane as an interim manager before they went with Igor Tudor.
