• Tottenham Hotspur are officially in the Premier League relegation zone

  Tottenham Hotspur have officially dropped into the Premier League’s bottom three after West Ham United secured a dominant 4-0 victory over Wolves to climb out of the relegation places. ​West Ham United escaped the relegation zone for the first time since December following a commanding win at the London Stadium. A brace from Taty Castellanos and two goals from Konstantinos Mavropanos sealed the victory, pushing North London rivals Tottenham into the unthinkable position of seventeenth. Hammers coach Nuno Espirito Santo remained grounded despite the surge, stating, “I realise there is still a lot of work to be done yet.” ​The result leaves Wolves facing confirmed relegation as early as next week, while Spurs continue their dramatic free fall toward the Championship. West Ham’s resurgence, marked by five wins in eleven games, has radically shifted the survival landscape. Reflecting on the atmosphere that fueled the result, Santo added, “London Stadium was amazing; it was bouncing with energy even in the hard parts when the game was tough.”

• Liverpool owners FSG make dramatic U-turn on multi-club model after looking at 25 teams

  Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) have reportedly abandoned their long-standing plan to acquire a second football club, leaving the long-term future of CEO of Football Michael Edwards shrouded in uncertainty.

  ​The strategic “U-turn” comes after FSG reportedly conducted extensive due diligence on over 25 potential clubs, including Spanish sides Getafe and Malaga, and French outfit Bordeaux.

  Despite early enthusiasm, the project has been deemed “dormant” due to a mix of financial caution and complex UEFA multi-club ownership regulations.

  This decision marks a significant shift for the Boston-based group, who previously viewed expansion as essential for remaining competitive globally.

  ​This development places Michael Edwards in a precarious position, as the commitment to a multi-club model was a primary factor in his 2024 return.

  Having already overseen a successful post-Klopp transition—including the appointment of Richard Hughes and head coach Arne Slot—Edwards now faces a redefined role without the expansionist remit he was promised.

  Speculation suggests his future at Anfield is now uncertain as the club pivots back to a single-team focus.

• Valentin Barco transfer stance revealed as Liam Rosenior reunion possible at Chelsea

  Chelsea are considering a summer move for Strasbourg midfielder Valentin Barco, who has flourished in France since transitioning from left-back under the observation of the Blues’ multi-club scouting network.

  ​Chelsea are closely monitoring Valentin Barco’s development at sister club Strasbourg ahead of a potential summer transfer.

  The 21-year-old Argentine has excelled in Ligue 1 this season, contributing one goal and nine assists across 34 appearances.

  Having previously worked with Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior during a loan spell, Barco’s successful transition from a conventional left-back into a creative midfielder has alerted Stamford Bridge officials.

  ​The Blues’ sporting directors are regular attendees at Stade de la Meinau to track Barco’s progress within the BlueCo stable.

  With Chelsea looking to upgrade their squad options, a reunion between Barco and Rosenior is increasingly possible.

  This interest comes as the club also secured captain Reece James to a long-term deal, with Rosenior stating, “For him to sign a deal and put his faith in us is a massive step.”

• French media single out Ethan Nwaneri as his woeful penalty miss costs Marseille dearly

  18-year-old Arsenal loanee Ethan Nwaneri is under fire from French media after his missed penalty led to Marseille’s elimination from the Coupe de France quarter-finals.

  Arsenal loanee Ethan Nwaneri faces intense scrutiny after missing the decisive penalty in Marseille’s Coupe de France shootout loss to Toulouse.

  Entering as a half-time substitute, the 18-year-old hit the woodwork in regulation but fired his spot-kick over the bar.

  French outlets were critical, with L’Equipe awarding him a 4/10 and branding him the individual who “let qualification slip” through his fingers.

  Questions have emerged regarding why the teenager shouldered such immense pressure. So Foot questioned why he took the final penalty, while Foot Mercato noted the substitution “unbalanced the defensive block.”

  Despite his effort, media consensus suggests the responsibility “should have fallen to others.” This setback marks a difficult turn for Nwaneri’s loan spell following the recent departure of manager Roberto De Zerbi.

• Former Newcastle star appointed as De Zerbi replacement at Marseille

  Former Newcastle United and Marseille captain Habib Beye has been named head coach of Olympique de Marseille on an 18-month contract, succeeding Roberto De Zerbi.

  ​Olympique de Marseille have confirmed the appointment of former captain Habib Beye as their new head coach.

  The 48-year-old replaces Roberto De Zerbi, who departed following a heavy 5-0 defeat to rivals PSG.

  Beye joins on an 18-month deal just nine days after being dismissed by Ligue 1 rivals Rennes, where he had guided the club to sixth place before a recent winless run.

  ​The former Senegal international returns to the Vélodrome, where he previously spent four seasons as a player.

  Club officials highlighted his “deep attachment” to the side as a key asset for re-motivating the squad.

  Beye, a fan favorite during his time at Newcastle United, will make his managerial debut for the fourth-placed club this Saturday against Brest, aiming to secure a Champions League qualification spot.
