Mason Greenwood's incredible comeback at Marseille has sparked a transfer scramble, with Tottenham among many elite European teams vying for the 24-year-old attacker.

After a year on loan with Getafe, he moved to Marseille from Manchester United for about £26.5 million. Despite being regarded as one of the most talented players to have emerged at Old Trafford in recent years, the club felt it would be best to let him go when the Crown Prosecution Service dropped serious criminal charges against him.

Greenwood, who scored 21 goals in Ligue 1 last season and has already scored eight goals this season across all competitions, including an incredible four-goal haul against Le Havre in October, has found his scoring touch again.

Manchester United will benefit from a 50% sell-on clause in any future contract because of his speed, adaptability, and clinical finishing, which have made him one of Europe's most sought-after players.

Barcelona is reportedly the front-runner for Greenwood, according to sources, since scouts attended his most recent masterclass against Le Havre.

Greenwood is a dynamic addition to Hansi Flick's assault, and the Catalan powerhouses may bring him back together with Marcus Rashford, who is now on loan from United.

But shockingly, sources have disclosed that West Ham and Tottenham are also vying for the former England international's return to the Premier League.

West Ham and Tottenham are contemplating a surprise Greenwood swoop.


While West Ham views Greenwood as a player who can improve their season and form, Spurs are looking for another dynamic player who can drive and add legs to the team.

However, if he wants to play in the best leagues, West Ham would have a hard time persuading him to return to England due to the optics.

Although this is a big obstacle for the London teams, there is still interest in the former Manchester United player.

Greenwood's performance in France has impressed Inter Milan, who are keeping an eye on him as a possible replacement and alternative to Lautaro Martinez in Italy.

After a successful 2023–24 loan at Getafe (10 goals), Atletico Madrid is eager to bring him back to La Liga because they know how good he is.

Greenwood would rather remain in Europe and compete in the Champions League, but Saudi Pro League powerhouses Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr are preparing attractive offers.

Although owner Frank McCourt is adamant about keeping Greenwood to compete against Paris Saint-Germain, manager Roberto De Zerbi of Marseille has cautioned him that abandoning the team's ambitious project for a larger stage may not ensure happiness.

Greenwood's stock is skyrocketing with 30 goals in 48 games for Marseille, and a move in 2026 appears certain. Barcelona currently hold pole position, but the fight for his signature is wide open. 

VAR REVIEW: CHELSEA 2-2 BOURNEMOUTH, ESTêVãO PENALTY DRAMA EXPLAINED! WAS IT A FOUL OR A DIVE

Explaining the VAR: How an 11th-minute penalty check at Stamford Bridge saved a point for Chelsea against a resilient Bournemouth.

Antoine Semenyo’s clumsy challenge handed Chelsea a vital lifeline

Every week, the Video Assistant Referee stirs up drama in the Premier League. Let's break down how these calls are made and if they're actually right.

This season, we're digging into the big moments to explain the VAR process and the rules of the game.

What went down: Chelsea's Estêvão was moving into the Bournemouth box, with Antoine Semenyo on his tail. Estêvão went down after some contact with Semenyo. The ref, Barrott, waved off Chelsea's penalty shouts, saying there wasn't a foul. He thought both players made contact naturally as they were running, and Estêvão basically tripped himself.

VAR said, "After looking at it, VAR Pawson suggested Barrott take another look at the monitor for a possible penalty because Semenyo might have tripped Estêvão."

VAR's take: Pawson had to figure out if the contact was just part of the play, like the ref thought, or if Semenyo fouled Estêvão. It was clear Estêvão tripped, but the question was how the contact started.

At first glance, it would be hard for Pawson to disagree with the ref because the main TV angle wasn't clear. But after checking out the sideline and behind views, Pawson saw that Semenyo stepped into Estêvão's path, making enough contact with his leg to cause him to trip.

Pawson told Barrott to check the monitor for a possible penalty. Barrott watched the replays, agreed, and gave Chelsea the penalty.

The call: It was a reasonable VAR call based on today's standards. But it's a borderline case.

Barrott seemed unsure of the monitor and needed some convincing from different angles.

A lot of the time, this kind of contact is just from players running normally, and someone goes down. To give a penalty, there really needs to be a clear foul by the defender. You could say that happened here, but it's a pretty low standard for VAR to get involved.

BREAKING: UNAI EMERY REVEALS THE REAL REASON BEHIND HIS COLD ARTETA HANDSHAKE SNUB NOW

Unai Emery explains why he skipped the post-match handshake as Arsenal’s 4-1 win ends Aston Villa’s 11-game streak at the Emirates.

Emery snubs Arteta's handshake

Unai Emery said he didn't shake Mikel Arteta's hand right after Aston Villa lost at the Emirates Stadium since the Arsenal manager kept him waiting.

This loss stopped Villa's winning streak at 11 games, their first in almost two months.

Villa held their own in the first half, but Arsenal scored early in the second when Gabriel got to the ball before Emi Martinez on a corner.

Martin Zubimendi quickly made it 2-0, and Leandro Trossard scored a third goal a little after an hour had passed.

Soon after entering the pitch, Gabriel Jesus scored, making it 4-0. Ollie Watkins was able to respond by tapping in a goal late in the game after Donyell Malen's nice play.

After the game, Emery waited to shake Arteta's hand, but he went to the locker room since Arteta was still celebrating with his team.

It’s easy to see. I like to do things fast,” Emery said when asked about why he didn’t shake Arteta’s hand.

“I shake hands, then I go to the dressing room with my players and coaches. I was waiting.

“Arteta was busy with his coaches, so I went inside. It’s not a big deal for me.”

About the match, Emery commented, “We played great in the first half, and things were going our way. We had corners and defended well. We didn’t let them get a corner in the first half.

“We felt good, but we let in the first goal in the second half. Onana getting hurt didn’t help since he’s important for set pieces and in the midfield.

“We didn’t quit, and we kept playing hard. We scored one goal and almost scored more. Arsenal is the best team in the league and should win the title.

“I’m not sure which day it is since we’ve played Arsenal twice already, and we still have to play Nottingham. But I’m happy with our goals and how we're trying to attain them.
