Australia have vowed to learn lessons from their semi-final defeat and come back even stronger, just like they did in 2017

Healy: ‘Feels a little bit un-Australian’

Australia’s semi-final exit from Women’s World Cup 2025 ended a chapter of incredible success: they had lost just three of the 30 ODIs they had played since the previous edition in 2022. What will the next ODI cycle look like for the seven-times champions? And what next for the stalwart trio of Alyssa Healy, Ellyse Perry and Megan Schutt?Healy is 35, and confirmed at the presentation on Thursday that this was her last ODI World Cup. Schutt, 32, had indicated earlier that this would be her last 50-overs World Cup too, though she will take a final call after the T20 World Cup next year. Perry will turn 35 in three days, and hasn’t yet spoken about her international future.Related

“This next four-year cycle leading into the next World Cup is going to be really exciting for our group and potentially see some really cool opportunities for some of the younger players to get greater opportunities in this side,” Healy, Australia’s captain, said after their semi-final defeat to India.”The opportunity for some of our players to play in a really high-pressure situation like that is going to do wonders for our group. This same thing happened in 2017. We reflected on that and thought we could have done things a little bit better under pressure and where we can be better at little certain aspects of our game moving forward. And I think we made that shift moving forward and we’ve seen it over the last cycle doing that one in 2022.”Thursday’s defeat was Australia’s first in an ODI World Cup match since 2017. That previous defeat had also been a semi-final loss to India; after that result, Australia tore up their template and started afresh, pushing Healy up the order to open, and adopting a batting strategy of relentless attack. That method brought them an ODI-record 26-match winning streak. Healy saw the latest setback as another chance for a reboot.4:58

“This is just another re-ignition for our group to say, you know what, we can be better at little moments of the game,” Healy said. “For our group to experience that, to be put under pressure and see how we respond, is going to do great things for us moving forward. So that’s really cool.”I hope we see more one-day cricket on the calendar. I think that’s going to be really important in this cycle. We see a lot of teams in this World Cup that, obviously, we’re forced to play against in the Women’s Championship. But more bilateral series are going to be amazing for the global game in that regard and make sure that these World Cups are highly competitive.”And obviously the opportunity to see the next generation come through and play one day cricket the way that they are, the way that they can and really take the game on, which I think we’ve seen towards the back end of this World Cup. I think it’s really exciting times for the women’s game.”Given the quadrennial nature of the ODI World Cup, the end of an edition often feels like the end of an era, with a greater scope for long-term planning than in T20Is, where World Cups take place every two years. It’s clear that Australia’s journey in the next ODI cycle will be led by youngsters such as Phoebe Litchfield, Annabel Sutherland and Georgia Voll, with experienced hands in Tahlia McGrath, Ashleigh Gardner and Beth Mooney, all of whom are either in their late 20s or early 30s, still playing key roles.Young players such as Phoebe Litchfield will be key to Australia’s regeneration through the next ODI World Cup cycle•Getty Images

“The state of the women’s game where it’s going is absolutely phenomenal,” Perry said in a press interaction after the semi-final. “This World Cup has been the toughest one yet, without a doubt and so competitive. The fact that in both the semi-finals, the team batting first posted over 300, and across this competition, it’s probably been more 300-plus scores than ever before.”We want to keep taking the game forward and that means that we’re not always going to be successful. At the same time, we play with a lot of enjoyment and application to what we’re trying to do. So it’s a pleasure to be a part of it. I feel very fortunate to see where things go.”Australia’s cricketing ecosystem is seasoned enough to keep producing players who look ready when they step up, with Litchfield, who scored a 93-ball 119 in the semi-final, a prime example. This ceaseless production line keeps head coach Shelley Nitschke calm about what the future holds.”We haven’t discussed about transition much, we had been just focussing on this World Cup obviously,” she said. “We’ve got some leaders in the last couple of years. We’re always moving and transitioning. I’m not sure if it’ll be a harder conversation or anything, but that’s forever a moving beast.”[Leadership] is something in due course we’ll sit down and have a discussion about. But I don’t think any decision will be made in the near future. We are always going to review and look to get better. We need to be better in the big moments.”Australia have already been the gold standard in women’s cricket. It is scary to imagine what their next chapter will look like.

Wasn’t that all a little inevitable? Time and again, this Manchester United side proceeds to fluff their lines, having failed to take advantage of the chance to move fifth in the Premier League following Thursday’s draw with West Ham United.

Much like a week ago in the dismal defeat to ten-man Everton, there was a real lack of energy and urgency about the hosts at Old Trafford this time around, with Ruben Amorim’s side merely letting the game drift for much of the first half.

Even after Diogo Dalot had nudged the home side ahead just before the hour mark, there was a distinct lack of a killer instinct, with Amorim’s raft of pragmatic changes ultimately backfiring in the closing stages.

Up against a team firmly in the relegation mix, the Red Devils – after failing to push for a second – were served up arguably what they deserved, with Soungouto Magassa poking home for his first goal for the Hammers to draw things level.

Despite two late attempts from skipper Bruno Fernandes, there was to be no stirring finale in front of the Stretford End, with the stop-start nature of United’s campaign showing no sign of ending.

Man Utd's worst performers vs West Ham

Two moments of quality aside in Sunday’s narrow win over Crystal Palace, it’s fair to say that it’s not been a good week for United’s captain, with Fernandes again rather erratic on Thursday evening.

He may, as usual, have been in the thick of the action with six total shots and five key passes registered, but the Portuguese notably regressed as the game progressed, squandering the ball meekly far too frequently.

Indeed, the 31-year-old lost the ball 22 times in all, as per Sofascore, while his delivery from wide areas was also unusually off the mark, having successfully completed just two of his eight attempted crosses.

The former Sporting CP star wasn’t alone in struggling on a difficult, turgid night for the hosts, however, with surprise inclusion Ayden Heaven hooked at the break, following a shaky first Premier League start of the season up against the experienced Callum Wilson.

Far more will have been expected of those operating at the opposite end of the pitch for United too, with the returning Matheus Cunha somewhat anonymous in his number ten berth, before being withdrawn late on, while Joshua Zirkzee failed to build on his weekend heroics after producing another limp showing through the middle.

Rounding off that trio was emerging talisman, Bryan Mbeumo, with the usually dynamic winger putting in arguably his worst performance for the club to date, following his £71m switch from Brentford.

Man Utd star produced his worst performance under Amorim

Right from the off, during the opening weekend defeat to Arsenal, Mbeumo has provided the spark in United’s attacking ranks, netting six times already across league and cup, including in key away performances against both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.

The Premier League’s Player of the Month for October has been riding high even amid a turbulent season for the club, although – with AFCON looming – his form appears to have stagnated, having failed to record a goal or assist in each of his last three outings.

That may be a case of a lack of service, although the Cameroonian was hardly able to create much for himself either on Thursday evening, registering just one key pass and attempting just two shots in all – albeit while forcing Alphonse Areola into a sprawling, clawing save early on.

The 26-year-old, like many of his teammates, was particularly ineffective as the game developed, looking weary late on as he failed to make things stick after moving into a central role, following the withdrawal of both Cunha and Zirkzee.

Like Fernandes, the left-footer regularly squandered potential openings after losing the ball on 15 occasions from just 52 touches, while failing to win a single aerial duel up against a physical visiting backline.

Such has been his impact in recent months, Mbeumo has set a high bar and raised expectation levels regarding his performances, although this was certainly not him at his best.

Typically the outlet for United when the going gets tough, the one-time Troyes man appeared to go missing late on, looking leggy and lethargic as Amorim’s men allowed the visitors back into the game.

With just over a week to go until the £150k-per-week star is set to head to international duty, Amorim needs him to find his best level again.

Let’s face it, while Mbeumo may have looked distinctly off it last night, even on his worst day, he still appears United’s biggest attacking threat.

يُعد طريق منتخب فرنسا إلى نهائي بطولة كأس العالم 2026 محفوف بالتحديات بعد إجراء قرعة دور المجموعات، مساء أمس الجمعة، في مركز “جون كينيدي” في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية.

وتستضيف كل من الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية، كندا والمكسيك نهائيات النسخة المقبلة من بطولة كأس العالم، في الفترة بين 11 يونيو و19 يوليو.

وتُعد تلك هي النسخة الأولى من بطولة كأس العالم، بعد استحداث نظامها، حيث سيشارك فيها 48 منتخبًا، سيتم تقسيمهم على 12 مجموعة، ويتأهل متصدر ووصيف كل مجموعة إلى دور الـ32، بالإضافة إلى أفضل 8 منتخبات في مركز ثالث.

وحسبما كشفت القرعة، يتواجد منتخب فرنسا في المجموعة التاسعة، والتي تضم كل من: السنغال، العراق/بوليفيا/سورينام، النرويج.

ولكن ماذا عن طريق الوصول إلى النهائي؟ حسبما كشفت شبكة “rmcsport” الفرنسية، فإن مسار الديوك بقيادة المدرب ديدييه ديشامب محفوف بالمخاطر القوية.

وأوضحت أن مجموعة منتخب فرنسا ليست سهلة، ولكنها تبقى في متناول يدهم، نظرًا لسجلهم الحافل، وفي حال تحقيق الصدارة، فإنهم سيواجهون أحد أفضل ثمانية فرق تحتل المركز الثالث في دور الـ 32، لذلك، من الصعب التنبؤ بخصم فرنسا في هذه المرحلة.

وفي حال صدارة فرنسا وتخطي دور الـ32، فإنها ستواجه في دور الـ16 الفائز من متصدر المجموعة الخامسة ضد فريق يحتل المركز الثالث، ومن ثم فقد تكون ألمانيا هي الخصم المحتمل في تلك المرحلة، مما يعد مباراة نارية.

أما حال تأهل فرنسا إلى دور ربع النهائي، في المسار نفسه، فقد يواجه البرازيل أو هولندا أو المغرب، قبل مواجهة محتملة لـ إسبانيا في نصف النهائي، مع إمكانية إعادة مباراة نهائي لوسيل من جديد ضد الأرجنتين، وربما إنجلترا.

ولتسهيل الأمر، يمكن قراءة مجموعات كأس العالم:

المجموعة الأولى: المكسيك، جنوب إفريقيا، كوريا الجنوبية، الدنمارك/مقدونيا الشمالية/التشيك/جمهورية أيرلندا.

المجموعة الثانية: كندا، إيطاليا/أيرلندا/ويلز/البوسنة والهرسك، قطر، سويسرا.

المجموعة الثالثة: البرازيل، المغرب، هايتي، اسكتلندا.

المجموعة الرابعة: أمريكا، باراجواي، أستراليا، تركيا/سلوفاكيا/كوسوفو/رومانيا.

المجموعة الخامسة: ألمانيا، كوارساو، كوت ديفوار، الإكوادور.

المجموعة السادسة: هولندا، اليابان، أوكرانيا/بولندا/ألبانيا/السويد، تونس.

المجموعة السابعة: بلجيكا، مصر، إيران، نيوزيلندا.

المجموعة الثامنة: إسبانيا، كاب فيردي، السعودية، أوروجواي.

المجموعة التاسعة: فرنسا، السنغال، العراق/بوليفيا/سورينام، النرويج.

المجموعة العاشرة: الأرجنتين، الجزائر، النمسا، الأردن.

المجموعة الحادية عشر: البرتغال، جمهورية الكونغو الديمقراطية/جامايكا/كاليدونيا الجديدة، أوزبكستان، كولومبيا.

المجموعة الثانية عشر: إنجلترا، كرواتيا، غانا، بنما.

England captain wants more fight from his side after crushing defeat in Brisbane leaves Ashes hopes hanging by thread

ESPNcricinfo staff07-Dec-20250:50

Stokes: ‘If we lose hope, we might as well not turn up’

Ben Stokes admitted that England had not been “able to stand up to the pressure” applied on them by Australia after his side went 2-0 down in the series in Brisbane. He said England had to show more fight but reiterated his belief that he could lead them back from the brink, with a 3-2 result now their only route to regaining the Ashes.England’s captain pinpointed dropped catches on the second night as one of the tourists’ key failings, undermining their rally with the pink ball under lights. Having been 290 for 3, Australia fell to 329 for 6 – still behind England’s first-innings 334 – but capitalised on a host of reprieves to eventually stretch their total beyond 500 on the third day.Stokes added that he did not believe there was a skills deficit with Australia but conceded England’s mentality in tough situations had twice been found wanting after two chastening defeats. For the second Ashes in a row, England find themselves 2-0 down after two games and, although they came back to draw in 2023, that would not be enough to reclaim the urn from Australia. Only once in Ashes history has a side won 3-2 after being 2-0 down, and that was Don Bradman’s Australia in 1936-37.Related

'We'll leave it out there' – Steven Smith on Jofra Archer confrontation

“Very disappointing,” Stokes said at the post-match presentation. “A lot of it comes down to not being able to stand up to the pressure of this game, this format, when the game is on the line. In small passages, we’ve been able to bring the game back into some kind of control and then we’ve let us slip away. We’ve done that again here this week, and it’s very, very disappointing, in particular, because of the ability of the players that we have in that dressing room.”We need to think a bit harder and deeper about those moments and what we’re taking mentally into those, and overall show a bit more fight when it’s needed.”We sit there and watch what’s going on in front of us, what Australia are looking to throw at us, and what plans they’re trying to bowl to,” he added. “And then it’s up to us as players to be able to go out there with a plan and how to negate the threat.”To me, it just seems to be a constant theme at the moment, that when you know the game is in a pressure moment, Australia keep outdoing us. They say Australia isn’t a place for weak men. We’re definitely not weak, but we need to find something, because we’re two-nil down now we’ve got three more games to go, and we need to, sort it.”Speaking to TNT Sport after the game, he said that errors in the field had hurt England the most. England put down five chances on day two – Jamie Smith off Travis Head, Ben Duckett off Alex Carey and Josh Inglis, Brydon Carse off Michael Neser and Joe Root off Carey – as Australia carved out a match-defining lead of 177.ESPNcricinfo Ltd

“A huge part of it was that we had to take 15 wickets,” Stokes said. “You can’t drop catches. They always come back to bite you. And I think it definitely showed there. If we were able to hold on to our chances, we shouldn’t have been batting last night [day three]. No one means to do that kind of stuff. No one means to drop catches. No one means to not bowl an area where you set plans to but, yeah, those kind of things just can’t happen at this level.”On the gap between the sides, he said: “It’s a mentality. It’s a mindset about how you take yourself out there in those situations. You know, Test cricket has its own pressures anyway, and how you handle those moments, how you handle yourself in those moments, how you get yourself into a clear head, a clear space to make good decisions. That’s so important to being successful at this level.”England had posted their highest score in Australia since 2018 after opting to bat first in the day-night Test, buoyed by Joe Root’s maiden hundred on Australian soil. But after Head’s reprieve on 3, Australia’s openers raced off to a 77-run opening stand, with Jake Weatherald’s punchy 72 from 78 setting the tone – and Stokes took some of the blame for a wayward bowling effort, as he and Brydon Carse in particular leaked runs.”Not being able to execute skill is something that you can live with, because no one means to bowl away from the plan that we’re trying to do. We knew exactly how we needed to bowl on that wicket, and we weren’t able to do it for a long enough period to put the Australian batters under pressure. And that was evident in the way that Australia were able to score so quickly and so easily against us.”I think Jofra and Gus set the tone very nicely, actually, when we first took ball, but then myself and Brydon sort of let the game get away from us quite quickly. So, yeah, just not being able to execute what’s needed, not only with batting and also with the ball. We’ll be having some conversations that I’ll be keeping in the dressing room.”Asked about lessons from previous tours – England have lost 5-0, 4-0 and 4-0 in their last three Ashes series down under – Stokes said that he wanted to maintain belief within the dressing room.”Don’t panic, don’t flap, don’t waver, and just have complete and utter belief in our guys as a team. Because I know we can do this. I believe emphatically in the group, I believe empathy, myself, as a captain, as a leader, that I can get the guys into a place where they need to be to able to win these next three games.”

Richarlison está de volta à Seleção Brasileira. O atacante do Tottenham concedeu entrevista coletiva nesta terça-feira (19), em Londres, na Inglaterra, onde o Brasil enfrenta os donos da casa no próximo sábado (23). Nesta semana, a comissão técnica da Amarelinha voltou a contar com uma psicóloga após 10 anos, e o jogador falou sobre como cuidar da saúde mental o ajudou a sair da má fase e até salvar sua vida.

– Minha fala foi muito importante até para o pessoal da Seleção. Quando cheguei aqui já vi a psicóloga, nunca teve isso antes aqui. Foi importante. E o carinho que recebi das pessoas, a gente sabe o preconceito que tem quando a pessoa fala que está procurando ajuda, eu mesmo tinha esse preconceito, graças a Deus não tenho mais – declarou Richarlison.

– Como jogador da Seleção, que tem voz ativa, falo para as pessoas procurar mesmo porque ajuda. Posso falar porque salvou minha vida. Salvou minha vida de uma hora para a outra, estava no fundo do poço mesmo, sabe? É importante a seleção ter um psicólogo para ajudar os atletas. Só a gente sabe a pressão que sofre, não só dentro, mas também fora de campo. Eu mesmo sofri mais fora de campo. É importante ter um psicólogo perto da gente – completou o atacante.

Após a Copa do Mundo de 2022, Richarlison não viveu seu melhor momento no futebol e foi muito criticado pelas atuações durante a maior parte de 2023, tanto por clube quanto por Seleção. Além disso, o atacante rompeu com o empresário Renato Velasco, que o acompanhava desde o início da carreira.

– Meu maior problema naquele momento não era dentro de campo, era fora de campo, pessoas que estavam ao redor e acabaram me decepcionando. Mesmo morando na minha casa há sete anos, essa foi minha maior decepção. Graças a Deus, já passou. Estou vivendo um lindo momento e quero construir minha história de novo – afirmou o centroavante.

O Pombo ficou fora da última convocação da Seleção Brasileira, ainda com Fernando Diniz, para partidas contra Colômbia e Argentina, em novembro do ano passado. De volta à equipe, o atacante se disse mais forte mentalmente e fisicamente, após ter lidado com lesões e cirurgia.

– Eu passei meses de dificuldade por dores no meu púbis, muitos aqui na seleção viram, eu nem conseguia chutar a bola para o gol direito. Graças a Deus eu fiz essa operação, operei os dois lados do púbis, hoje me sinto 100%, voltei voando na Premier League, ajudando meu clube. Meses atrás, quando não fui convocado para a Seleção, falei numa entrevista que voltaria para a Seleção, trabalhei muito durante esses dias, hoje estou aqui feliz e consegui dar a volta por cima.

Confira outras declarações de Richarlison na entrevista coletiva da Seleção Brasileira:

– Como todos podem ver na minha rede social, nas minhas fotos só pode comentar quem é próximo de mim. Depois da Copa a perseguição veio muito. Hoje quem pode comentar nas minhas fotos e me mandar mensagem é quem eu quero. A perseguição foi muita, isso acaba afetando. A gente é ser humano, vê as coisas, vê a maldade no olhar das pessoas. Chegou um ponto em que até o professor Tite veio me chamar no avião e veio falar comigo. Antes de ir para a Copa no Catar, ele me chamou no avião e falou: “não precisa se preocupar com as críticas, você é meu camisa 9 e eu confio em você.” Isso foi fundamental para eu chegar na Copa confiante, com liberdade, só tenho a agradecer ao Tite, foi o cara que confiou em mim, mesmo com as pessoas vindo criticar, rebatê-lo. Eu via em todas as coletivas e zonas mistas as pessoas procurando um camisa 9. O Tite me deu total confiança, acreditou em mim e eu acreditei nele, tanto que fui o camisa 9 dele na Copa.

– Falei isso porque sei meu potencial, sei como é vestir a camisa da Seleção, nunca deixei de sonhar para conquistar meus objetivos. Foi um momento em que eu estava passando por dificuldades, mas nunca deixei me abalar. Sabia que meu momento era difícil no clube e na Seleção, mas decidi trabalhar calado, recebendo críticas, mas sempre trabalhando. A cirurgia deu certo, voltei antes do esperado, trabalhei firme e hoje estou colhendo os frutos. Sou um cara trabalhador, quando venho para a Seleção dou minha vida, sei como é vestir a camisa da Seleção, o peso que carrego.

– Muitas pessoas viram uma arrogância (falar que era o dono da camisa 9), mas não fui na maldade, eu falei porque naquele momento eu era um dos artilheiros do ciclo, eu e o Neymar, e estava confiante. É claro que não estava vivendo um grande momento, talvez minha fala foi pesada porque eu não estava vivendo um grande momento, pesou para mim e as pessoas acharam arrogante. Faz parte do futebol, hoje estou de volta, espero fazer o meu melhor possível, é muito bom estar nesse começo de ciclo do professor Dorival. Espero ajudá-lo e também toda a Seleção.

– Não me arrependo de nada, ao mesmo tempo quando fui para as Olimpíadas eu vesti a camisa 10, dei conta do recado e ninguém falou nada. Não me arrependo de nada. Aqui na Seleção eu jogo com qualquer camisa, já joguei com a 21, a 7… para mim, não interessa a camisa, o que importa é estar em campo honrando a camisa, é o que vou buscar fazer sempre.

– Eu fico muito feliz de estar alcançando essa marca (50 jogos) com a camisa da Seleção, poucos jogadores tem números tão expressivos. Eu acho que tenho 20 gols fora as Olimpíadas. É uma marca expressiva, mas não quero parar por aqui, quero mais. Próxima marca são os 100 jogos e por aí vai. Estou muito feliz, espero continuar assim, evoluindo com essa camisa e conquistando vários títulos, que é importante.

He thumped 60 off 22 balls as Afghanistan seek victory for a place in Super Fours

ESPNcricinfo staff18-Sep-2025

Mohammad Nabi blasted five sixes in an over•AFP/Getty Images

Sri Lanka dominated proceedings for 18 out of 20 overs, but in those two overs, Afghanistan and Mohammad Nabi grabbed the momentum, and indeed the upper hand, as Afghanistan tore into Sri Lanka – primarily Dunith Wellalage – to score a whopping 49 runs off the final two overs and end on 169 for 8.Nabi ended on an incredible 60 off 22 balls, run out off the final delivery of the innings, as he saved his best for last against Wellalage, who had earlier dropped Nabi when he was on 6.For context, Wellalage, a left-arm spinner, was left to bowl the final over after Maheesh Theekshana had been left out of the XI, and the seamers had been bowled out earlier in the innings. That gamble seemed to have paid off for large parts of this innings, as Nuwan Thushara picked up figures of 4 for 18, while Chameera was unlucky to go for 50 runs in his four.Dasun Shanaka, the nominal fifth bowler, had gone for 29 runs, but picked up a wicket, while Wanindu Hasaranga had gone wicketless but was miserly in giving away just 18. But none of that accounted for leaving Wellalage against Nabi, a specialist spin hitter, at the last.Wellage attempted to bowl quick and flat, but he was no match as ball after ball was sent into the stands – over long-off and cow corner, time and time and time and time and time again. It was a brutal display of hitting, and one that a player as young as Wellalage will do well to try and put out of his mind sooner rather than later.But for Afghanistan, it was just what they needed in a must-win game.

Tottenham chiefs are believed to be assessing their options ahead of the looming January transfer window, which opens in just over a month’s time, and Thomas Frank reportedly wants to reinforce his attacking options.

On the pitch, all eyes turn towards this weekend’s looming North London derby as Frank’s side dream of their first Premier League win at the Emirates Stadium since 2011.

Frank also heads into his first derby clash as Spurs boss in testing circumstances, nursing a crippling injury crisis as he also navigates an inconsistent run of form. With as many as 11 first-team players currently sidelined, the Dane’s squad depth is pretty stretched for one of the Premier League’s most high-stakes fixtures.

His preparations took another worrying turn when midfielder Pape Sarr limped off during Senegal’s friendly against Brazil, though his international manager, Pape Thiaw, then provided a reassuring update which suggested the knock wasn’t serious.

The injury list makes for grim reading. Randal Kolo Muani, Archie Gray, Ben Davies, Radu Dragusin, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Dominic Solanke, Yves Bissouma and Kota Takai are just some of the names on Tottenham’s large absentee list, with a good few not expected back in time for the Arsenal clash.

Solanke is apparently “unlikely” to make his return against Mikel Arteta’s side as the striker continues his recovery from minor ankle surgery, while Kolo Muani fractured his jaw against Man United, and it remains to be seen how long the summer signing will be out for.

Mohammed Kudus should recover from a knock to face Arsenal, offering some attacking relief, while Lucas Bergvall could return after completing concussion protocols following his head injury against Chelsea — even if he was sent home from Sweden international duty after a ‘setback’.

Taking into account the club’s fitness issues which have plagued the Lilywhites since the start of Ange Postecoglou’s final season in charge, it is no surprise that they’re considering moves in the winter transfer market to reinforce Frank’s options.

Tottenham tried and failed to sign Man City winger Savinho in the summer, and it is believed that another wide-forward is very much still on the agenda at N17.

Takefusa Kubo could be tempted to join Tottenham in January

Real Sociedad star Takefusa Kubo is a player who’s long been linked with a move to Spurs.

Some reports even suggest that the north Londoners have made ‘several’ failed attempts to sign the Japan international, but they’ve been given some encouragement in the build up to January as it is claimed that Kubo is keen on Spurs as a landing spot.

His contract reportedly includes a £52 million release clause, and journalist Pete O’Rourke has told Football Insider that Kubo could still be intrigued by a move to Tottenham this winter amid Sociedad’s worrying form which sees them hovering just three points above the relegation zone.

O’Rourke also calls Kubo a “top player” who’d tick a lot of boxes for Frank.

The 24-year-old, who left Real Madrid after successive loan spells away to join Sociedad permanently in 2022, averaged more successful take-ons per 90 than any of his teammates in La Liga last season (WhoScored), and more than any Tottenham player managed in England that campaign too.

Predominantly a right-winger, Kubo appears unlikely to threaten Kudus’ place in the side given his exceptional start, but can operate as both a central attacking playmaker and even a second-striker, which may well appeal to Frank.

The presence of a release clause means that Spurs can bypass negotiations with Sociedad by triggering it and entering talks with the player himself.

Kubo’s signing could also open up commercial opportunities in the Asian market, something which Tottenham have missed since club legend and South Korea icon Son Heung-min departed for Los Angeles FC in the summer.

Make no mistake, this could be one to keep an eye on, and Kubo has been tipped to become an eventual superstar by those who’ve worked with him.
