Tottenham Legend Explains How Mourinho Is Tapping Up Danny Rose

Newcastle United welcome Tottenham Hotspur to St James’ Park in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, in a game that could be hard to call. “[Arsene] Wenger has the capacity to decide to give contracts and do whatever he wants to do as he’s been there 22 or 23 years”.

Glenn Hoddle believes Danny Rose’s comments about Tottenham’s pay structure and transfer strategy will not have gone down badly with his team-mates.

This is the seventh successive Premier League season that Tottenham will play their opening Premier League game away from home. Sometimes I was a player and sometimes after seven months when you don’t play you’re frustrated.

One consolation for Pochettino is Newcastle have problems of their own as speculation swirls around the future of manager Rafael Benitez, who is clearly disenchanted by the club’s failure to back him in the transfer market.

Spurs were thrashed by the Magpies and as a result dropped from second to third on the final day of the 2015/16 season.

However, unlike many of their competitors, Spurs do not have the financial clout to spend hundreds of millions on players to build on their first-team squad ahead of next season.

“I am relaxed because when you see the team and the players they are so focused”.

Famously, Harry Kane has never scored a Premier League goal in August.

They received positive news on Kieran Trippier as his ankle injury isn’t serious but it will be enough to keep him out of the trip to the north east this weekend so Pochettino has a decision to make.

But the biggest reason why Manchester United should not be targeting Danny Rose is that right now, they still have Luke Shaw.

The Daily Telegraph’s chief sports writer Paul Hayward agreed, admitting that Spurs do not compete with the top clubs in the Premier League when it comes to wages.

Tottenham are the only Premier League club yet to sign a player since the end of the 2016-17 season, while the sale of Kyle Walker to Manchester City has depleted their experienced options at right-back.

Kane, needing only one goal to complete a century for Tottenham could have secured it in the 51st minute when he was left in space and hooked a shot that brought a marvellous save from Elliot.
