Taking to Twitter, ITV and talkSPORT presenter Sam Matterface has made a claim on Antonio Conte’s future at Tottenham Hotspur.
The Lowdown: Spurs suffer shock defeat…
After beating Premier League champions Manchester City 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium last weekend, it appears that Spurs and Conte have been brought crashing right back down to Earth.
Far from building upon their victory over Pep Guardiola’s side, the Lilywhite, instead suffered a shock 1-0 defeat away to Burnley at Turf Moor in what was a night to forget.
Clarets defender Ben Mee scored the only goal in a game which has taken Tottenham’s regrettable Premier League run to four losses out of their last five.
Since then, there has been much noise on Conte’s future at the club, as Matterface made a claim on Twitter.
The Latest: Matterface makes Conte claim…
After speaking with the Italian, Matterface said that there was a suggestion on the 52-year-old’s part he may actually quit as Spurs manager.
The commentator explained via Twitter: “The way Conte just spoke to me just now he was clearly suggesting that he was going to quit as Spurs manager.”
The reporter also went on to question the former Chelsea boss directly, with the coach apparently stating: “I have to talk to the club.”
The Verdict: Worrying…
Conte’s arrival, which came with a proven track record of serial winning, perhaps signalled an exciting new dawn for Spurs supporters.

His potential pull in the transfer market could also be a big factor in his presence at Tottenham, and the thought of losing him already is certainly a worrying one.
In the wake of these comments and the shock defeat to Burnley, these coming weeks could be make or break.

Leeds United kicked off their tenure with Jesse Marsch as the new manager of the Yorkshire club at the weekend with a 1-0 defeat against Leicester City away from home.
The Whites are back in action once again on Thursday evening with a home clash against Aston Villa for their next attempt at moving away from the relegation zone.
With this match in mind, it seems as though the home side could see one of their key players make a long-awaited return to action when Steven Gerrard’s side make the trip to Elland Road.
What’s the news?
After the defeat at the King Power Stadium, Leeds journalist Phil Hay took to his official Twitter page to relay comments from the newly-appointed Whites boss regarding the current situation around Patrick Bamford and when he could be able to make a return after being out injured for the past few months with a hamstring issue.
Hay said that Marsch “expects Bamford to be involved against Villa on Thursday.”
The £18m-rated striker started all five of Leeds’ opening games of the season before an ankle injury kept him on the sidelines until December.
In a very unfortunate stroke of luck, upon his return to action, Bamford injured his hamstring whilst celebrating a late equalising goal he secured to salvage his side a point in their 2-2 draw against Brentford, which has kept him out of action since.
Fans would be elated
Taking into account how the centre-forward racked up a total of 17 goals in 38 Premier League appearances last season and has two goals and two assists to his name in just six league appearances in what has been a frustrating campaign for the Englishman, it’s safe to say that he is an important figure for the team.
His lengthy absence has been a big contributing factor in the club’s worrying results this season which suggests that his return in midweek would be a joyous event for Leeds fans to see, especially if he can hit the ground running and then manages to stay fit for the remainder of the campaign.

If this were to happen, the 28-year-old would surely give his side a great chance of avoiding relegation by the end of the season if his goals can help them pick up some much-needed wins.
After all, this is a player who has been so important since being signed by former manager Marcelo Bielsa, as the striker bagged 45 times under the Argentine. Any team would struggle without their main marksman and thus, his return represents a colossal boost in their bid to beat the drop.

This is part of The Transfer Tavern’s Talking Tactics series, where we analyse two changes the manager should make in their upcoming fixture.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp could have a bold call to make when he selects his starting line-up for the Reds’ Champions League round of 16 second leg lash with Inter Milan.
[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/latest-liverpool-transfer-news-22/” title=”Latest Liverpool transfer news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]
Inter Milan await
The Reds host the Serie A champions on Tuesday night, having prevailed 2-0 at the San Siro in the first leg last month.
While Liverpool clearly have one foot in the quarter-finals, the tie is far from dead and buried, with the Champions League always capable of producing dramatic, unpredictable nights – as Kopites know very well from recent years.
Klopp is sure to field a strong starting line-up at Anfield, but there is one big player he should consider leaving on the substitutes’ bench.
Give Salah a breather
While this may cause controversy with some, Mohamed Salah could be in line for a timely rest, having cut a jaded figure since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations a month ago.
Gary Lineker has hailed the 29-year-old as ‘wonderful’, and the Egyptian is among the best footballers on the planet. However, he has too often found himself on the periphery of post-AFCON matches, failing to affect the Carabao Cup win over Chelsea and also cutting a frustrated figure against West Ham on Sunday, being substituted in the second half.
In fact, Salah has only scored once from open play in the Premier League since netting away to Chelsea on January 2nd – a well-taken strike at home to Norwich City – and those four relentless extra time periods and penalty shoot-outs in Cameroon may be taking their toll on him.
Affording Salah a breather tomorrow night will hopefully allow him to recharge his batteries ahead of Saturday’s trip to Brighton, who have either drawn or won their last three meetings with the Reds; and if the Egyptian is desperately needed against Inter, he can affect matters upon being sprung from the bench.
Jota back in
Salah being left out would also allow Diogo Jota to get some much-needed minutes under his belt, as the 25-year-old continues to find his feet following an injury absence which stemmed from the away clash against Inter, when he had to be removed at half-time.
The £120,000-a-week Portuguese only played for 11 minutes at home to West Ham on Saturday and will surely be desperate to prove his worth on the big European stage, looking to add to his 17 goals this season.

With Luis Diaz on the left and Sadio Mane switching to the right, Jota could start down the middle, interchanging with his attacking colleagues and looking to put Inter to the sword, not allowing the Nerazzurri even a glimpse of hope in the tie.
Chances are that Salah will take to the pitch on Tuesday, but a rare night starting from the bench could end up being hugely beneficial as the weeks and months pass this season. It would doubly allow for Jota to get back into a rhythm in time for a crucial run-in to the campaign.

Liverpool just about scraped past Inter Milan in their Champions League round of 16 tie last night, after Lautaro Martinez brought the Italian side within one goal of Jurgen Klopp’s side, before former Manchester United and Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez ended the Serie A Champions’ hopes by getting sent off after receiving a second yellow card.
Despite going through on aggregate, it was the Reds’ first loss since the end of December – and the first time this season in the Champions League that they failed to win.
However, they should have scored at least two goals on the night but for some great defending and poor finishing.
While Joel Matip hit the bar, it was Egyptian fan-favourite Mohamed Salah who missed the two best chances of the game – hitting the post on both occasions, on his way to a 6.6 match rating according to SofaScore, which only Diogo Jota failed to match or beat.
The 29-year-old also lost the ball 18 times – working out at every three times he touched the ball he gave up possession, which is something that will surely frustrate Klopp – particularly as the result was anything but a comfortable one.
Rather remarkably, goalkeeper Alisson also had two more touches of the ball at Anfield last night and made 18 more passes at a higher completion rate. Those are rather alarming statistics when you consider Salah is someone that Liverpool will always be aiming to give the ball to.
Despite wanting an insurance goal after Martinez’s thunderbolt, he also failed to deliver one accurate cross, or have a shot that was on target and could even force a save out of 37-year-old Slovenian keeper Samir Handanovic.
With that in mind, it was a rare off day for Salah who will need to improve on this performance if Klopp’s side wants to go all the way and win the competition.
In comparison, Senegalese teammate Sadio Mane achieved a rating of 7.0, despite himself not having a shot on target either – but he also only gave away possession eight times and created a big chance himself, which the Egypt international failed to do.

It was the third game running that the former Chelsea and Roma winger had failed to score or assist, and with his contract set to expire next year, his form is the last thing the fans want to be worrying about if 2023 will prove to be his last on Merseyside.
However, this is the Premier League’s current top scorer and second top assister that we are talking about, who has 29 goal contributions in 25 games – he will most definitely soon bounce back and supporters will be hoping it will be immediate with Liverpool still in with a shot at winning the elusive quadruple.

Wolves forward Hwang Hee-chan suffered a suspected back injury during the 1-0 win away to Everton over the weekend, according to a hint from his manager.
The Lowdown: Hwang injured in Wolves win
Bruno Lage’s team battled their way to a deserved victory at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon as they jumped to seventh place in the Premier League table.
The match was decided by Conor Coady’s well-taken header in the second half, with Wolves continuing to bounce back from a disappointing run of form in recent weeks.
Hwang was injured early in the match, though, being forced to leave the field with just 16 minutes on the clock as he was replaced by Daniel Podence.
The Latest: Lage hints at potential back injury for Hwang
As per The Express & Star, Lage believes that Hwang may have suffered a back injury, with the 25-year-old potentially facing a spell on the sidelines.
The report stated: ‘Hwang Hee-chan came off after 20 minutes with an injury and although Lage could not confirm his condition, he hinted that it may be a back issue.’
[freshpress-quiz id=“388797″]
The Verdict: Neto’s chance to shine?
Hwang’s injury is an undoubted blow for Wolves at an important point in the season. Indeed, Lage hailed the South Korean as a ‘top player’ earlier in the campaign, having scored five league goals in 2021/22 thus far.
If there is a silver lining from that body blow, it may allow Pedro Neto a more prolonged spell back in the team on the left flank, having only started one game since returning from a long injury layoff.

The 22-year-old will be desperate to make his mark after such a prolonged spell out of the team, possibly beginning with the home clash against Leeds United on Friday night, should Lage feel that he is ready to fill the void left by Hwang’s injury.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in a deal to bring Boubacar Kamara to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the summer transfer window.
What’s the talk?
That’s according to a report by Goal, who claim that all of Tottenham, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Southampton are keeping a very close eye on the situation of the Olympique de Marseille central midfielder, who is set to leave the Orange Velodrome on a free transfer upon the expiry of his contract with the Ligue 1 side this summer.
However, the report goes on to state that it is Atletico Madrid who are currently in pole position for the 22-year-old’s signature, with the France U21 international believed to be keen on the challenge of LaLiga and working with Diego Simeone.
Although, Goal also suggest that, with Antonio Conte – as well as the other interested parties from England – being able to offer the youngster a much bigger salary than the Spanish side, Kamara could yet decide on a move to the Premier League ahead of a switch to Spain.
Conte can axe Winks with Kamara
Considering the sheer amount of potential Kamara quite clearly possesses, in addition to Harry Winks having regressed greatly over the last year, it is easy to see why Tottenham would be interested in a move for the Marseille starlet this summer.
Indeed, over his 25 Ligue 1 appearances this season, the £22.5m-rated midfielder has been in breathtaking form for Jorge Sampaoli’s side, scoring one goal and creating two big chances for his teammates, as well as making an average of 0.8 key passes, 1.2 interceptions, two tackles, 59.1 passes and winning 5.6 duels per game.
These returns have seen the £46k-per-week dynamo who Rolando dubbed a “phenomenon” average an extremely impressive SofaScore match rating of 7.09, ranking him as the Phocaeans’ second-best performer in the top flight of French football.
Furthermore, FBref rank the 22-year-old in the top 5% of midfielders in Europe’s big five leagues for passes attempted per 90, in addition to the top 6% for passes completed, the top 28% for progressive passes, the top 26% for progressive carries, the top 33% for tackles and the top 35% for interceptions over the last 365 days.

As such, with the £91k-per-week Harry Winks – who Dan Kilpatrick dubbed “out of form” earlier this season – looking as if he does not have a future at Spurs under Conte, having been offered to Leeds United in the January transfer window, it would appear wise for the 52-year-old to finally axe the England international on a permanent basis this summer, before reinvesting the money saved from his hefty weekly wage into a move for the much more exciting Kamara.
AND in other news: “I understand…”: Gold drops big behind-the-scenes Spurs update, Conte will be fuming
Influential West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek won’t discuss a new deal at the London Stadium until the summer, according to a fresh update.
The Lowdown: Soucek a key figure
The Czech Republic international has been a superb signing for Hammers since arriving from Slavia Prague in 2020, proving to be one of David Moyes’ most important players.
Soucek has continued to be a prominent figure for West Ham this year, scoring four goals in 28 Premier League starts and shining alongside Declan Rice in the middle of the park, even if not finding the back of the net as much as last season.
The 27-year-old is out of contract in the summer of 2024 though, so the club are surely desperate to nail down his future in the coming months.
The Latest: No deal until the summer
According to 90min, contract talks have now been put on hold until the end of the season, having reportedly got underway in January initially.
There is no indication that Soucek’s West Ham future is in doubt, although drifting into the final two years of his current deal does feel a little more precarious.
The Verdict: No-brainer for Hammers
Soucek arguably hasn’t been quite as formidable in 2021/22 as he was last season, in terms of his overall impact – he has averaged fractionally fewer tackles per game – but there is still no denying that is a key part of Moyes’ setup.
At 27, the Czech Republic international is in and around the peak of his powers and should remain that way for the next four or five years, having been hailed as ‘unbelievable’ by friend and colleague Vladimir Coufal.

With Rice’s future up in the air, the idea of losing both him and Soucek in the same transfer window doesn’t bear thinking about and it would be a huge shock if that happened.

A worrying Newcastle United update has emerged on former Brighton chief Dan Ashworth…
What’s the talk?
Daily Mail journalist Craig Hope has revealed that the ex-FA supremo is set to be made to wait until after the summer transfer window to link up with the Magpies.
Ashworth left the Seagulls earlier this year and is being eyed up by the Toon to work with Eddie Howe to build the club moving forward.
Hope Tweeted: “Dan Ashworth could be made to wait until November before taking up NUFC sporting director role. Negotiations with Brighton continue but no progress yet. Club relaxed if Howe/Nickson/Staveley oversee summer transfers, as was case in Jan. Scouting meetings this wk.”
He added: “Told that Ashworth has a nine-month notice period and, as it stands, will be made to see it out. Brighton not making it easy for him to join Newcastle, as is their right.”
Fuming
This update will surely leave supporters fuming as this news comes as a big blow to the club and their plans heading into next season.
Whilst PIF may be ‘relaxed’ over the situation, having a cloud of doubt hovering over the sporting director role throughout the summer is not ideal.
Ashworth may have ideas about who he would like the club to be signing and what direction he wants the team to go in with Howe and that may not perfectly align with what Steve Nickson does before he arrives.
This means that decisions could be taken throughout the next window that the ex-Brighton chief then has to work around and look to rectify. It is a difficult situation for all parties involved and it will be frustrating for the club as they will need to navigate a second window in a row without a sporting director in place.

Whilst the Magpies were able to bring in the likes of Bruno Guimaraes, Matt Targett, Chris Wood, Dan Burn and Kieran Trippier, they also struggled towards the end of the window. Howe wanted a striker and an attacking midfielder on deadline day and the Toon failed to complete moves for Hugo Ekitike and Jesse Lingard as they left those particular pieces of business too late in the window.
This illustrates what can go wrong without a dedicated sporting director in place to assist Howe to get deals over the line. Therefore, supporters will be fuming that the club are now set go through another window in a similar fashion because of Ashworth’s notice period.
AND in other news, Howe can unearth a new “outstanding” £20m gem in NUFC’s rarely-seen Darsley Park star…
“You’ll never win anything with kids” was Alan Hansen’s immortal line all those years ago, yet once again, Manchester United did just that in Friday’s hard-fought victory over Newcastle United.
Despite ending the night with a makeshift lineup that would hardly have been imagined mere weeks ago, the likes of Ayden Heaven, Jack Fletcher and Patrick Dorgu held firm to steer the hosts to a vital 1-0 win at Old Trafford.
Without so many key individuals, namely skipper Bruno Fernandes, United boss Ruben Amorim shuffled his pack again in the early knockings, with that man Dorgu the notable beneficiary as the newly-installed right winger lashed home a stunner inside the first half.
That initial promise swiftly faded following Mason Mount’s unfortunate withdrawal at the break, yet by hook or by crook, the home side held on, edging their way back up to fifth ahead of next week’s meeting with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Three points will ultimately be all that matters for Amorim and his staff, but it’s fair to say it wasn’t an overwhelmingly positive night for the men in either dugout – nor was it for summer signing, Benjamin Sesko.
Sesko's game in numbers vs Newcastle
There were signs of life in the weekend defeat to Aston Villa, with Sesko coming close to notching a third goal of the campaign, only to be denied by the onrushing Emi Martinez in the home goal.
The Slovenian striker again came within a whisker of scoring this time around, pouncing on a loose ball just before the hour mark, before lashing his effort off the crossbar with opposition stopper Aaron Ramsdale left looking helpless.
Perhaps, like most watching on, the 22-year-old thought he was in an offside position, although there appeared to be a lack of real intent to burst into the box to score, albeit while ultimately hitting the woodwork.
As it was, following another difficult night in which the ex-RB Leipig man also fired wide on the turn early on, it was no surprise when Sesko was hooked soon after his crossbar attempt, having largely looked like a bystander to proceedings when leading the line.
Indeed, in all, the new man registered just 24 touches, made only nine passes and won just a solitary duel, as per Sofascore, with Amorim seemingly in need of more in the absence of a string of other attackers, including Bryan Mbeumo and Amad.
That being said, patience will still have to be directed toward Sesko, considering he is still a matter of months into his Old Trafford journey, with a consistent run of games no doubt needed after his recent injury absence.
Time, while rarely afforded to anyone in Manchester, is on his side; the same certainly can’t be said of his fellow forward, Joshua Zirkzee.
The Man Utd star who shouldn't play again
As already stated, the dearth of attacking options at present has left Amorim turning to those on the periphery to step up, with Dorgu no doubt doing just that in his new-look role on the right flank.
Chalkboard
Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.
This spell of AFCON and injury absences has allowed the likes of Dorgu to seize their chance, with the aforementioned Heaven also looking so assured yet again, while Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt watched on from the stands.
Both youngsters seized the moment, although that man Zirkzee no doubt fell short, having arguably been even worse than Sesko at a time when United were crying out for an attacking figurehead.
Service was limited up to the 6 foot 4 Dutchman, although he made little stick when it did come his way, losing the ball five times from his 13 touches, while registering only four passes in total.
In a similar vein to Sesko before him, there appeared to be a real lack of urgency and desire to get into the game from Zirkzee, with the 24-year-old merely watching on as the game passed him by.

Of course, his introduction came with the home side hanging on for dear life, camped outside their own box, yet Zirkzee did little to shift the momentum, winning only one of his seven duels, while failing to complete a successful dribble.

It was the same stage, almost exactly a year ago, which saw the former Bologna man withdrawn after just 30 minutes of play against the same opposition, with Friday’s cameo perhaps the final nail in the coffin for his Old Trafford career.
61 games played, just eight goals scored – only four of which have come in the Premier League. That record simply isn’t good enough, and with reports that Roma are ready to strike a deal heading into January, United and INEOS surely shouldn’t stand in his way.
Yes, attacking alternatives are limited, but the Red Devils might well be better off turning to the academy than continuing to utilise this £105k-per-week struggler.
With that potential return to Italy on the cards, it would be no real shock if Zirkzee did not feature under Amorim again.
"Been told by multiple sources" – £88k-p/w star will "join Man Utd" in 2026
The Red Devils have been backed to sign a midfield star.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has stated that he was wrong to insinuate that there was a campaign against the west London club earlier this season.
The Blues boss was infuriated over refereeing decision midway through the 2014-15 season and stated that the footballing fraternity were out to get the Stamford Bridge club.
The Portuguese trainer debated a number of refereeing decision throughout the course of the season and felt that Chelsea were not given a fair crack of the whip.
Mourinho has addressed his comments now that the Blues have claimed the Premier League title and has admitted that his remarks were perhaps a bit over the top.
“I’m not the kind of person to regret,” The Guardian report Mourinho as saying.
“What you did you did. What happened happened. You cannot change things. Time does not go back. We had lots of mistakes against us. That’s the reality but that’s football.
“Maybe ‘campaign’ is not a nice word. Maybe I would take that word out from my explanation and my comments, but that’s the reality. We had very bad decisions over a big period of time. But I also made bad decisions, so no problem.
“The word ‘campaign’ was even the subject of punishment because the word was strong. My feeling was that we had lots of mistakes against us, that punished us in crucial matches in a crucial period – November, December, January.
“I would take the word ‘campaign’ [out] if the same happened next season. It would be out of my vocabulary. But that feeling is clear. We had lots of decisions against us.”

Chelsea claimed a domestic double by finishing on top of the Premier League table and also defeating Tottenham in the Capital One Cup final.
The Blues were eliminated from the Champions League this season by Paris Saint-Germain and will hope for an improved European showing next term.
