Djed Spence says joining Tottenham fulfils his dream of becoming a Premier League player and now he cannot wait to learn from some of his star Spurs team-mates.

The wing-back joined Tottenham from Middlesbrough for a fee in the region of £20million including add-ons on Tuesday, signing a five-year contract.

Spence, 21, became the sixth arrival of the transfer window for Spurs, joining Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster, Yves Bissouma, Richarlison and Barcelona loanee Clement Lenglet.

It s a dream come true to play in the Premier League at a big club like Tottenham Hotspur,  Spence said to the Spurs website after his move was completed.

It s amazing, I m thankful that I m here and that I m going to get the opportunity to play for this club.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has welcomed the additional competition for a starting spot at Barcelona and says landing Robert Lewandowski is what the club is all about .

Barca pulled off a coup of sorts earlier this week when bringing in prolific striker Lewandowski from Bayern Munich in a deal worth up to €50million.

Lewandowski outscored every other player across Europe s top five leagues last season with 50 goals in 46 appearances, six more than next-best Karim Benzema.

The Poland international s 312 Bundesliga goals with Bayern and Borussia Dortmund is the second-most of any player in the competition s history, behind only Gerd Muller (365).

Lewandowski s arrival could see February signing Aubameyang playing a bit-part role this term, but the ex-Arse…

Koke wants Spain to start building a new era of success at Euro 2016.

The Atletico Madrid midfielder was part of the 2014 World Cup squad dumped out at the group stage, ending Spain s sensational run of triumphs in three consecutive international tournaments.

Vicente del Bosque s team face Romania on Sunday to continue preparations for the defence of their European Championship crown and Koke is hopeful players like himself who were not involved in 2008, 2010 and 2012 can make their mark this time around.

We did not do a good World Cup and the Euros are chance for a revalidation, the 24-year-old told a news conference on Saturday.  There has been a great generational change.

Koke came on as a half-time substitute during Thursday s 1-1 draw in Italy a…

Barcelona are interested in signing Roger Ibanez from AS Roma in the summer transfer window, according to . The report has claimed that Brazilian centre-back Ibanez is among the defenders that La Liga giants Barcelona are following in case they fail to secure the services of Jules Kounde from Spanish rivals Sevilla in the summer transfer window.

Former La Liga and UEFA Champions League winners Barcelona are keen on signing Kounde this summer, but they are facing stiff competition from Chelsea. The Blues’ offer to Sevilla and to the player himself is superior to that from Barcelona, who are now looking at alternatives in case they are unable to bring the France international centre-back to Camp Nou this summer.

Ibanez spent the 2020-21 campaign on loan at AS Roma from …

Relegation-threatened Las Palmas have appointed former boss Paco Jemez as coach for the remainder of the LaLiga season.

The former Spain international replaces Pako Ayestaran, who was sacked in November after managing only two wins from the opening 13 matches.

Jemez previously led Las Palmas between April 2010 and February 2011 and most recently managed Mexican outfit Cruz Azul.

He rejected the club s initial offer to return last month in order to spend time with his family but, after the Royal Spanish Football Federation blocked a move for Jorge Almiron, the ex-Zaragoza defender was convinced to return.

More than a sports project, I take it as a personal challenge, Jemez told UD Radio of his motivation to return.

Beyond the situation of the tea…

Liverpool walked away from the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (or San Siro if you will) victorious for the second time this season on Wednesday, with Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah delivering heavy blows for Inter Milan in the first leg of their Champions League round-of-16 encounter.

It was not a very pretty (in a technical sense) contest perhaps, but it was certainly interesting from the first to the final whistle, with plenty of notable aspects.

Virgil van Dijk

Many believe Virgil van Dijk to be the best defender in the world of football right now. The way his arrival from Southampton in January 2018, questioned a lot for its hefty £75 million fee, transformed Liverpool s defence remains simply incredible to this day. Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Robe…

Liverpool maintained their strong start to the Premier League season with a 2-1 win at Southampton ahead of champions Manchester City hosting Tottenham in Saturday s late kick-off.

Sadio Mane scored the opening goal on his return to St. Mary s, smashing into the top-right corner shortly before half-time, with Roberto Firmino adding what proved to be a vital second before Adrian s error handed Danny Ings a late consolation.

Arsenal are the only other side to have maximum points after two games as they edged to a 2-1 win at home to Burnley, with Real Madrid loanee Dani Ceballos recording a brace of assists from midfield.

There were also victories for Everton and a Teemu Pukki-inspired Norwich City at home to Watford and Newcastle United respectively, while Bournemo…

Lecce were dramatically denied a come-from-behind victory but still put the brakes on AC Milan’s attempt to reignite their Serie A title charge as second-half goals forced a 2-2 draw at the Stadio Via del Mare.

With Milan hoping to exploit Lecce’s own floundering form, Olivier Giroud finished off a swift team move before the half-hour and Netherlands international Tijjani Reijnders plundered his first Diavolo goal to double their advantage.

But Nicola Sansone and Lameck Banda hit back after the break with two goals in four minutes and although Roberto Piccoli will feel aggrieved his solo goal at the death was ruled out, Lecce did enough to arrest their own slide for now.

Stefano Pioli’s Milan responded to a four-game winless run featuring three defeats by b…

BST 12:30 Leicester vs Leeds

Starting with the hosts, managing to pick up what was a deserved 2-0 win away at relegation scrappers Burnley earlier in the week, Leicester will be desperate to build off of that result here. While Brendan Rodgers men might have shown some extended inconsistencies this season, the Foxes have still lost just one of their last five matchups across all formats. Extending on their Europa Conference League adventure thanks to a thumping 7-2 aggregate …
