Seventeen wickets tumble at Wantage Road as Kent take upper hand over Northants

Vithushan Ehantharajah04-Apr-2025Northants 118 for 7 (Keogh 53*) trail Kent 231 (Muyeye 72, Leaning 40, Weatherall 3-32) by 113 runs Spring is supposed to bring relief. Warmth from previous gloom as we welcome back the sun with open arms and a kiss on the forehead, despite the fact it left us in the lurch for so long. Forgive, forget and go again.Alas, at a gorgeously illuminated Wantage Road, the opening day of 2025’s County Championship was a case of relive and bemoan, as Kent and Northamptonshire indulged in a back-and-forth of their own misgivings from bygone seasons.Kent’s collapse to 231 all out, having been 164 for 3 after being sent in, was a reminder of the batting frailties that relegated them to Division Two. They were saved by the hosts also doubling down on their failings of summers past, first with an array of shelled catches that allowed Kent to recover from 60 for 3 and then 187 for 7. Then came a loose late afternoon with the bat that already leaves them seven down and trailing by 113.But the falsest promise was Zak Crawley’s, broken within nine minutes of a much-needed new dawn after a torturous winter. A week after kicking away a Loughborough University left-armer for a two-ball duck, England’s Test opener fell victim to another, sent back to the Pavilion at 11.09am for one. As many runs as stumps left standing.Both off and middle were floored by Northamptonshire left-armer Liam Guthrie’s 10th ball in English cricket; whipped across the right-hander before nipping in sharply between a huge gap between bat and pad. Guthrie, an Australian with a UK passport in his back pocket, brought the zip you’d associate with a quick reared in Western Australia and honed in Queensland. That dovetailed nicely with this green-tinged, East Midlands surface.It was a pretty outrageous delivery, capable of making a fool out of most batters. And with a number of deliveries rearing up and darting sideways as the day went on, Kent believe their score is akin to 300-plus. But Crawley’s footwork was limited, the scale of his misjudgement exacerbated by the adoption of a more open stance for the leftie coming over the wicket. He walked off sidemouthing this latest seven-ball failure – an 11th single-figure score in 20 innings since the end of last summer.”Fresh” from a Matt Henry-ruined series averaging 8.66 in New Zealand at the end of last year, and a miserable stint in the SA20 for Sunrisers Eastern Cape that eventually saw Crawley dropped, this innings was not out of step. Regardless of Guthrie’s nationality, Crawley’s recent record against Australians (53.33 in the 2023 Ashes) and India (40.70 on the 2024 tour) still carries weight for the rematches ahead.Zak Crawley’s struggle for form shows no sign of abating after a grim start to the season•Getty ImagesFurther extension of this grim run should test the loyalty of selectors. But Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum remain strong advocates of Crawley, as do many of his peers. Even former Kent teammate Jordan Cox, desperate for any slot in the Test team after a broken finger robbed him of the New Zealand series, who marked the season’s opening day with century for Essex against Surrey.”If England said open I’d do it hands down, but it wouldn’t be the place I’d want to bat,” said Cox, speaking at Chelmsford. “Opening the batting is the hardest job in the game.”Zak and (Ben) Duckett are the best two openers in the country. Zak, on his day, is by far in my opinion the best opener I’ve seen. Unfortunately, people have dips, but it’s unfair how he gets criticised. He wants to play in a certain way, express himself, playing lovely drives. Hundred in the Ashes, no-one said anything… people need to give him a break.”Nevertheless, there were performances that punctuated the day of players looking to make good on starting afresh.Tawanda Muyeye’s impressive 72 spoke of a renewed drive to balance grind and better shot selection. The 24-year-old was resolute in defence, including making adjustments when his edge was beaten on a pitch with pleasingly good carry. He toughed out a period before lunch as Guthrie returned for a second spell, going into the break with his 11th fifty-plus score in first-class cricket, brought up with glorious cover drive from his 60th delivery.”It’s probably worth more than seventy on that pitch,” said Muyeye of the conditions underfoot. “But yeah, I enjoyed myself today.”I went away in the winter and my biggest work on was finding myself in the middle order and like tough situations like that, and just being mature enough.”Sometimes I’ve thrown away my wicket just playing shots that I know I can play, but for the situation it’s not good enough. It’s just being able to pick and choose which shots to play and just being very specific. Because all the best players in the world just keep things simple and I felt like I kept things simple.”Muyeye should have been dismissed on 57, Guthrie robbed of a well-deserved third as he enticed a late attempt at a back-foot punch with a rising delivery that shaped into the right-hander, only for James Sales to drop the edge at first slip. Just when it looked like Muyeye and Jack Leaning were taking the game away, an inspired spell from Raphael Weatherall provided the dynamite to cave in the middle order.Weatherall, coming back from a lower-back stress fracture sustained last August in his maiden professional season, took three wickets in as many overs, instigating a collapse of 33 for 5. After bagging Leaning caught behind – ending a 104-run stand for the fourth wicket – he squared up Muyeye to take his off stump for a walk, before doing the same to Grant Stewart. The 20-year-old is highly thought of in these parts, and with Northamptonshire coming into this match without Ben Sanderson (knee), George Scrimshaw (side) and Gus Miller (foot), those vital interjections suggested he is ready to carry more responsibility on his young shoulders.It was from Weatherall’s cues, particularly the lengths hammered, that Kent’s seam attack emerged with a clear blueprint. And despite only getting 33 overs at Northamptonshire before stumps, the fact all five seamers were able to register in the wickets column – Grant Stewart and Jaskaran Singh with two apiece, the latter doubling his 2024 tally, while South African Keith Dudgeon took his first Kent wicket after a useful 26 – spoke of a collective focus. Likewise the hoots and hollers from the cordon that punctuated the air as the sun finally began to fade.”I think that’s the best performance I’ve seen in a very long time form our bowlers,” said Muyeye. “Just from the get go – everyone seemed to bounce off each other, just working hard together as a group.”Their first-innings buffer will require more of the same on Saturday, with Rob Keogh, unbeaten on 53, the home side’s last hope at something close to parity. The applause when the club stalwart reached his 66-ball half century was as much for his resistance as general admiration for the 33-year-old’s pluck.Last month, Keogh revealed he had spent the 2024 season dealing with mental health issues, with a back problem used as an excuse to explain time spent away from the game. Renewed and refreshed, even in tough circumstances, this was a confidence building knock.It was far from a perfect start for both sides. But however this match pans out, it did serve as a useful reminder to both new coaches, Adam Hollioake and Darren Lehmann, as they look to imprint their brands of “in your face” cricket on Kent and Northamptonshire, respectively, that change does not come quick. Spring cleans always take longer than you think.

New Zealand fast bowler Jacob Duffy is the new No. 1 men’s T20I bowler. Duffy takes the top spot from West Indies left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein following his superb returns during New Zealand’s T20Is against Pakistan at home.Duffy picked up 13 wickets in five games at an average of 8.38, which also included a career-best of 4 for 14, to help New Zealand seal the series 4-1. He rose four spots, crossing Hosein, Varun Chakaravarthy, Adil Rashid and Wanindu Hasaranga to get to the top. This is Duffy’s first No.1 ranking in any format. He is also the first New Zealand player to hold the top spot in men’s T20I bowling rankings since Ish Sodhi in 2018.Duffy made his T20I debut for New Zealand in 2020 and has 32 wickets in 23 games.”It’s a bit of a surprise [becoming the No. 1 bowler],” Duffy said.”That’s awesome to be among some players on that list. Great recognition, it’s pretty cool. It’s kind of surreal, to be honest.”In the batting charts, Duffy’s team-mate Tim Seifert has climbed five spots up to No. 8. Seifert scored a total of 249 runs in five matches against Pakistan at an average of 62.25. Seifert also scored his career-best of 97* in the fifth T20I in the 129 chase. Seifert’s opening partner Finn Allen gained one place to move to 15th in the batting rankings. Australia batter Travis Head retains his No. 1 position on this list, with India’s Abhishek Sharma and England’s Phil Salt at No. 2 and 3, respectively.Among allrounders, New Zealand’s James Neesham jumped 14 places to 30th on the list following some solid efforts against Pakistan, which also included a career-best 5 for 22 in the fifth T20I.

Chelsea have now submitted an offer for an “exceptional” Tottenham Hotspur player, who is keen to remain in the Premier League.

Caicedo impresses despite Brentford slip-up

If the Blues have serious ambitions of mounting a Premier League title charge this season, they need to be able to close out games against teams like Brentford, which is why it will be disappointing they were unable to pick up all three points on Saturday.

Fabio Carvalho’s late goal meant Enzo Maresca’s side had to settle for a draw on the road, and missed the opportunity to go top of the Premier League table at this early stage of the campaign.

While Maresca will no doubt be disappointed by the result, the Italian is likely to be happy with Moises Caicedo’s performance, with the Ecuadorian bagging the goal that put the west Londoners 2-1 up late in the second half, and impressing from a defensive point of view.

As such, there are doubts over whether Chelsea need to bring in another defensive midfielder, but according to a report from Africa Foot, they have now made an offer for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma.

Bissouma has recently suffered a knee injury, which means he will have to wait until January to leave the Blues’ bitter rivals, amid widespread interest in his signature, with Newcastle United, West Ham United and Crystal Palace also lodging proposals.

Tottenham are open to sanctioning a departure, given that the Malian midfielder is well-known to have fallen out with Thomas Frank, which means a January departure could be on the cards, although they would prefer to sell him to a foreign club.

The 29-year-old, on the other hand, has made it clear that he wants to remain in the Premier League, rather than joining the likes of Chicago Fire, Galatasaray, Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe or Lyon.

"Exceptional" Bissouma would be strange signing for Chelsea

In truth, it would be strange for the Blues to launch a formal move for the Tottenham midfielder, not least because Maresca is already well-stocked in the engine room, with the likes of Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Andrey Santos at the manager’s disposal.

Moreover, there are also issues surrounding the Mali international’s discipline, with Frank leaving him out for the Super Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain and saying: “Bissouma isn’t here because of disciplinary reasons. He has been late several times, the latest one too many.”

That’s not to say the Spurs ace isn’t a talented player on his day, with Gary Lineker once describing him as “exceptional” after putting in an impressive performance against Everton.

However, there is little point in Chelsea potentially shelling out £14m on a player who would be likely to receive little game time, given Caicedo and Fernandez’s emergence as key players, with both starting all four Premier League games up to this point.

Despite sitting comfortably in the middle of the Premier League table, Everton’s start to the season hasn’t been quite as smooth as they might have hoped.

Off the back of a strong end to last season, following the return of David Moyes to the dugout and some inspired summer business that included the likes of Jack Grealish and Tyler Dibling, the Toffees went into the season hoping to kick on.

However, Everton’s two league defeats have dampened moods for two similar reasons. Their 1-0 defeat to Leeds in August from an 84th-minute penalty was a disappointing three points dropped, particularly given the nature of the late spot kick scored by Lukas Nmecha.

This weekend’s 2-1 defeat against Liverpool was equally frustrating as the team were unhappy with some of the refereeing decisions in the derby, including the limited amount of stoppage time when they were pushing for an equaliser. After the match, David Moyes praised his team for showing “a great deal of resilience” against the League Champions.

While tenth is a strong position compared to the relegation dogfights they have found themselves in over recent years, it may still feel frustrating given the circumstances of both defeats. However, Moyes is looking ahead for the rest of the season, and it seems he may be plotting to galvanise his team with some youthful flair in the not so distant future.

15-year-old Jonathan Nsangou makes Everton U21 debut

15-year-old Jonathan Nsangou has been making a name for himself in the Everton academy and has been playing beyond his years. This weekend saw the teenager make his U21’s debut, skipping two age groups.

The Liverpool Echo’s Joe Thomas was full of praise for Nsangou after his debut, as, despite being the youngest on the pitch: “He did not look daunted, regularly going in search of the ball, making himself available and forming part of the press that led to Beaumont-Clark’s goal.”

While his U21’s debut was a landmark moment for the youngster, it was not his first of the season. Earlier in the year, he made his U18’s debut and, even more impressively, he was called up by David Moyes to train with the first team, which Thomas attested to “how highly thought of he is”.

It’s not just at Everton where Nsangou has impressed, as he has also started making waves in the England set-up. Last season, he scored a hat-trick in an international friendly, and Thomas describes him as a “part of a talented core” that the England youth system is currently working with.

Nsangou's path to the first team

While 15 seems young to be breaking into the first team, it is something that has become more common over recent years. In the last three years, three 15-year-olds have made their Premier League debuts, with the most recent being Arsenal’s Max Dowman. Moyes may see the success that these young debutants have had as a reason to gamble with Nsangou at some stage in the season and make him the fourth Premier League 15-year-old.

The Wolves fixture seems unlikely to see too much rotation, given how seriously Moyes seems to be taking the League Cup this year. In their 2-0 win over Mansfield, Everton played a side that could compete against most Premier League teams, and when they made substitutions, it was for senior players rather than youngsters.

Outside of youth games, Toffee fans may have to be patient to see Nsangou in the senior team, but with a dense fixture list of three domestic cup competitions, injury and fatigue may allow the youngster to push his way in.

أكد المدير الفني لفريق ليفربول، آرني سلوت، أنه سيواصل تقديم يد العون والدعم للنجم المصري محمد صلاح من أجل استعادة تألقه التهديفي، موضحًا أنه اللاعب الوحيد الذي سيدعمه للتسجيل لو كانت حياته متوقفة على ذلك.

ويتعرض محمد صلاح لموجة شرسة من الانتقادات، سواء من الجماهير أو نجوم سابقين، بسبب تراجع مستواه بشكل كبير ذلك الموسم مع ليفربول، حيث لم يسجل إلا هدفين في الدوري الإنجليزي حتى الآن، أحدهما من ضربة جزاء.

وقال سلوت، في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “جارديان” الإنجليزية: “بالنظر إلى الطريقة التي يتدرب بها محمد صلاح، وعندما نقوم بتمارين اللمسة الأخيرة، لا يمكن أن نفقد ذلك، الشيء الوحيد الذي يتعين علينا فعله هو استمرار إشراكه في تلك المراكز، عليه أن يثبت نفسه بها”.

وأضاف: “هناك الكثير من الأشياء التي يمكن أن تحدث عندما تكبر في السن، لكن إذا استطعت اختيار لاعبٍ واحدٍ يمتلك الكرة على بُعد 11 أو 13 ياردة من المرمى، وكان عليه أن يسجل هدفًا لينقذ حياتي، فسأختار محمد صلاح في هذا الموقف، الآن عليه أن يُثبت قدرته على إثبات جدارته في هذه المراكز”.

وقالت صحيفة “ديلي ميل” أن سلوت قال أن محمد صلاح “سينقذ وظيفتي”، بينما قالت شبكة “ليفربول إيكو” أن المدرب تفوه قائلًا: “سينقذ سمعتي”.

وعن استبعاد محمد صلاح من التشكيل الأساسي لمباراة فرانكفورت في دوري أبطال أوروبا، قال: “أتمنى ألا يتقبل ذلك الأمر بصدر رحب، لأنه عندما يفعل ذلك، سيفقد حماسه”.

وأوضح: “الأمر ينطبق على كل لاعب، ليس محمد صلاح فقط، عندما تبدأ بقول فكرة أنك لم تعد تلعب وتشعر بالرضا تجاه ذلك، تفقد حماسك اللازم للعب على مستوى عالِ”.

واستكمل: “من خلال تجربتي، بشكل عام، يصعب على اللاعب فهم سبب عدم مشاركته، جميعهم يرون كرة القدم من منظورهم الخاص، وهذا أمر جيد أيضًا، إذا طلبت من جميع اللاعبين العشرين الآن اختيار تشكيلة، فسأكون مندهشًا إن لم يختر أحدهم نفسه في التشكيل، هذا لا يعني أنهم لا يفهمون أن لدينا أكثر من بضعة لاعبين جيدين هنا، ومن حين لآخر لا يشارك أحدهم”.

وأوضح: “لكن إذا كان علينا لعب نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا غدًا وطلبت منهم اختيار تشكيلة، فسأكون مندهشًا إن لم يُشرك أحدهم نفسه في التشكيلة، ربما باستثناء ريو نجوموها أو جيوفاني ليوني، ربما يفعلان ذلك (لصغر سنهما)، وهذا أمر جيد”.

Despite having to settle for a 0-0 draw last time out in the Premier League, the vibes are still at an all-time high at Everton.

After all, on another day, the Toffees would have picked up another victory in that unfortunate stalemate versus Aston Villa, with David Moyes and Co. somehow squandering 20 efforts in total across the course of the frustrating clash.

With Everton sitting in a pretty sixth position at the moment, Moyes will be hopeful that the glory days of his previous long reign as boss are back to stay, with the much-loved Scotsman once consistently steering the Merseyside outfit to top-half finishes.

No relegation worries seem to be seeping in, with the former West Ham United boss-turned-returning Toffees manager even possessing his next Wayne Rooney now, arguably, to ramp up the nostalgia even more.

Rooney's heroics at Everton

Much like Moyes, Rooney would also return to Merseyside in 2017.

The celebrated attacker had gone on to Manchester United in 2004 and won trophies galore, with a sublime tally of 253 goals and 142 assists coming his way. Safe to say, Rooney was correct to originally leave his hometown club behind, even if it was so early into his fledgling career.

He still showed he could turn on the style on his return, too, with this memorable effort against West Ham United, sending the Goodison Park masses into raptures.

Across the full 40 games on his return, there were no signs that his legs had gone, which might well have been a worry so deep into his esteemed playing days, with 13 goal contributions notched up in total, making it a special reunion for the magical forward.

Amazingly, despite Rooney being such an enigmatic, one-off presence on the pitch, Moyes might well feel he has his next coming of the entertaining great at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, even so early into life in their brand-new home.

Everton's new "game changer"

Everton fans will be far happier going to watch their team now than the gloom and doom tenure of Sean Dyche, with the attractive football being served up.

Indeed, away from firing blanks against the Villans last time out and Leeds United on the opening day, the Toffees have managed to bag an electric five goals from their other clashes this season, with Jack Grealish often at the heart of a vibrant attacking move working out.

Many would have surely anticipated that this move for Grealish to leave Manchester City for pastures new on Merseyside would pay off, with the former Villa midfielder a star on the same level as Rooney’s excellence when on top form.

But, nobody would have quite expected how easy the 30-year-old would find it to instantly hit the ground running in the manner he has.

From just five games under Moyes’ wing, Grealish already has a blistering four assists next to his name, with his split-second ability to carve out an opening or excite the Toffees contingent with an effort of his own making him a Rooney-like presence already.

Aston Villa

15 + 22

Manchester City

To further validate the comparison point, it’s clear that Grealish – much like his revered counterpart – needed a switch like the one he sealed to Everton to get his waning career back on track, with the three-time Premier League winner losing his way somewhat in Manchester.

Similarly, it was clear from Rooney’s final few seasons at Old Trafford that he wasn’t the spritely star he once was, with rampant injuries often getting the better of him.

But, as is clear now with the two mavericks in question, form might be temporary, but class is permanent.

Grealish’s class has been so prominent so far at Everton that he has even been hailed as a “game changer” for his standout efforts by analyst Matt Smith.

Amazingly, this resurrection of the skilful Englishman might well stand him in good stead to be remembered as an all-time great in the Premier League, alongside Rooney, with the Toffees faithful already heralding him as an icon in the here and now, that’s for sure.

An Isak-esque signing: Moyes has struck gold on "incredible" Everton star

Everton’s promising summer transfer window has sparked a positive start to the league season.

ByAngus Sinclair Sep 17, 2025

Rangers have had a torrid start to life under Russell Martin as they currently sit one place above the bottom of the table on four points. Their winless run in the Scottish Premiership has given way to many questions about Martin’s decisions and capabilities.

One of the biggest questions that Rangers fans have been asking surrounds the treatment of Nicolas Raskin. Last season, Raskin was one of Rangers’ standout players, contributing five goals and 11 assists from midfield. However, this year his appearances have been few and far between.

In the league, Raskin has only played 197 minutes, the 12th most in the squad, after playing the 5th most league minutes last season. Raskin has featured more prominently in the Scottish League Cup and in their failed push for Champions League qualification, but has been notably absent in the league, where they desperately need points.

With no clear answer from Martin as to why he is handling Raskin in this way, some have taken to speculation as to what may have led to Raskin falling out of favour. However, in a recent interview, Keith Jackson rubbished one of the rumours.

Jackson dispels Raskin leaks rumour

This weekend saw Raskin receive a rare start as he scored the opener in Rangers’ 2-0 win over Hibernian in the cup. Following the game, Keith Jackson spoke to Hotline Live about the Raskin/Martin situation: “And you’ve seen this rumour, and I don’t believe it for a second about Raskin leaking team news to the Brugge manager. That doesn’t fit with what I’m told about Raskin as a person.”

Part of what led to the speculation about Raskin leaking the team news is that, following the 6-0 defeat, he was absent from the entirety of the next two match days. However, with the result leading to Rangers missing out on Champions League qualification, and in turn millions of pounds that could have gone towards improving the team and the squad, it is almost certain his punishment would have been far more severe if the rumour was true.

A more likely reason for Raskin’s absence is a tactical decision from Martin. At points this season, Raskin has had to play out of position as Martin has utilised the Bournemouth loanee Max Aarons centrally. Jackson didn’t mince his words when he expressed his dissatisfaction with this strategy from Martin.

Raskin may be key to Martin's survival

Raskin’s performance after being left out in the cold has demonstrated he’s worthy of coming back into the first team. He’s popped up with two goals and an assist in all competitions this season, and Martin needs to get his team scoring if he wants to remain in the job.

The experimentation with Aarons drifting inside hasn’t been paying off, and adapting his style of play to incorporate the aspects of the team that worked under Philippe Clement and Barry Ferguson may be the only way Martin can turn things around.

Harry Kane has been told that he would post similar numbers to Erling Haaland if handed the No.9 jersey at Manchester City. The Blues were keen on the England captain at one stage, as they sought to bring another prolific presence onto their books. No deal was done with Tottenham and Kane ultimately headed to Bayern Munich, with Norwegian striker Haaland being added to star-studded ranks at the Etihad Stadium.

• Haaland goals 2025-26: Stunning numbers of Man City striker

  Haaland has been a sensational addition for City, helping them to a Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League Treble in his debut season. He hit 52 goals in the 2022-23 campaign. He won a second Golden Boot during his second year in England and has reached 136 efforts in total for City through 155 appearances. He is just six short of 100 in the English top-flight.

  The 25-year-old has been in stunning form this season, reaching 21 goals across 12 appearances for City and Norway. He hit a hat-trick for his country in a World Cup qualifier with Israel, having previously posted five efforts in an 11-1 demolition of Moldova. He tops the Premier League scoring charts again with nine goals there.

  Kane is not far behind, with the 32-year-old finding the target on 18 occasions for Bayern and England through 10 outings. He has two hat-tricks to his name and is looking to land the Bundesliga Golden Boot for a third successive season – having moved to Germany in 2023 and breaking his much-publicised trophy duck.

  Would Kane be as prolific for Man City as Haaland is?

  Kane has not scored fewer than 24 goals across the last 11 campaigns and is considered to be – as the all-time leading scorer for Spurs and the Three Lions – one of the greatest frontmen to ever play the game. What would have happened had he headed to the blue half of Manchester?

  When that question was put to former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin, he told : “I've always thought from an outsider's perspective, if you put Harry in Manchester City's team, with the chances they were creating, would he have scored the same amount of goals as Haaland? I would not be in the least bit surprised if he did.

  “As a pure footballer, Harry can play more positions, he can move into those deeper positions. I've been fortunate enough to see Harry play quite a few times for Bayern Munich. When you are watching a game when Haaland is at his best, your eye is always drawn to him. It seems like there are 21 footballers out there and Haaland.

  “If you go and watch Harry Kane at Bayern, one of the top teams in the world, it is Kane and 10 others. He is a force of nature. And not just in Bundesliga games. I am talking Champions League games. He is a colossus.”

• Does England captain Kane get the recognition he deserves?

  It has been suggested that Kane does not receive the recognition that his exploits deserve, with the Bayern talisman tumbling to 13th in the 2025 Ballon d’Or vote. Former Scotland international Nevin added on that debate: “Far be it from a Scotsman to tell English people what to think, but although much-loved I still think Harry is slightly underestimated. This guy is utterly and completely brilliant.

  “It is no denigration of Erling Haaland, who is one of the great players in world football. In England, they admire Harry and all the rest of it, but he also should be considered one of the greats in world football. Maybe he's not seen as that in England, but he is.

  “Harry's numbers are fantastic. They are even better when you consider a lot of these numbers were achieved when he was playing with Spurs. Spurs were a good side but they weren't Manchester City. It's not a problem with Haaland, but I just don't think Harry is put into that bracket often enough.”

  Kane future: Transfer clauses & Premier League return rumours

  It has been revealed that Kane has clauses in his contract that could be triggered in the summer transfer window of 2026. He would be available for £57 million ($76m), ahead of the final year of his deal in Munich, and there have been claims that he may be tempted to return to England and chase down Alan Shearer’s all-time Premier League goals record.
