Tottenham have confirmed Ryan Sessegnon and Japhet Tanganga are following Eric Dier and Ivan Perisic through the exit door as free agents.
Dier and Perisic had already agreed moves ahead of 2024-25, with Dier making his loan stay at Bayern Munich permanent and Perisic returning to boyhood club Hajduk Split.
Both players have now left the club following the expiration of their contracts, as have Sessegnon and Tanganga.
Sessegnon was considered one of the hottest properties in the English game when he joined from Fulham in a £25million deal in 2019, but he made just 57 appearances in five injury-affected years in north London, scoring three goals.
We can confirm the departures of Japhet Tanganga, Ryan Sessegnon, Eric Dier and Ivan Perisic following the con…
Bayern Munich have signed winger Michael Olise from Crystal Palace on a five-year deal worth around £45million plus £5m in add-ons.
Olise ends a three-year stay at Selhurst Park, having joined from Reading back in 2021.

Pep Guardiola was delighted to see Manchester City begin their season with silverware as they beat Manchester United in the Community Shield, though he warned their triumph means nothing for their hopes of another Premier League title.
Bernardo Silva s header cancelled out Alejandro Garnacho s goal as the Manchester rivals played out a 1-1 draw at Wembley, with City edging the penalty shoot-out 7-6.
Manuel Akanji scored the decisive kick after Silva, Jadon Sancho and Jonny Evans failed to convert, handing City their first Community Shield triumph since 2019.
City s victory came despite the absences of several players that made it to the latter stages of Euro 2024, including Rodri, Phil Foden, John Stones and Kyle Walker.
While Guardiola was delighted to…
Real Madrid are keeping tabs on Chelsea right-back Reece James, according to . The report has claimed that Madrid have been scouting James this season and have been impressed by the England international defender. Although Chelsea are not actively looking to sell the 24-year-old, a transfer fee of over £60 million could convince the Blues to offload him.
James is one of the best right-backs around and has been on the books of Chelsea since 2008. The 24-year-old, though, has had injury and fitness issues in recent years. James has made only five starts in the Premier League so far this season, providing one assist in the process.
Madrid are at the top of the La Liga table at the moment with 75 points from 30 matches, eight points clear of second-placed and defending cha…
England s Euro 2024 preparations ended on a sour note as Gareth Southgate s side produced a limp display in a surprise 1-0 defeat to Iceland at Wembley Stadium.
The absence of Jude Bellingham aside, Southgate selected a strong starting lineup but saw his side toil in the final third as Jon Thorsteinsson s early effort proved decisive.
England started slowly as Iceland sat deep, and they were hit on the break 11 minutes in, Thorsteinsson driving a low strike behind the dive of Aaron Ramsdale and in after cutting inside John Stones on the left side of the area.
The Three Lions missed two glaring chances to level before half-time, with Cole Palmer seeing a volley deflect wide before Harry Kane inexplicably fluffed his lines when picked out by the Chelsea man.

I ve spoken to multiple clubs in England and also abroad. Obviously, when I started spea…

Disquieting news conferences are nothing new with Jose Mourinho. Even during his heyday with Porto, Chelsea and Inter, they were usually cold, beguiling encounters, a glance into the war room of a calculating general.
But where once there was intrigue, now there is bitterness and boredom. Mourinho s latest 20-minute diatribe in the United States came after weeks of frustration, in which he rattled off barbs at Liverpool, Anthony Martial, Paul Pogba, Antonio Valencia, young players and the transfer window, like some vitriolic Gatling gun with a stuck trigger.
You might have noticed the military theme by now. That s because Mourinho and Manchester United are gearing up for a fight: a fight to stay relevant in a modern gung-ho game as their rivals threaten to vanish over th…
Greg Vanney is aiming to build some momentum for the LA Galaxy as they look to end a run of four draws against the Houston Dynamo on Saturday.
The Galaxy are on a five-match winless run in MLS, with another goalless draw against Charlotte last weekend seeing them drop to fourth in the Western Conference.
After a run of four away games in their previous five outings, LA are now due to play four of their next five at Dignity Health Sports Park, which is also where they got their last win.
This is a big phase for us to really build some momentum in all ways, being in front of our fans and being at home for this next stretch, said Vanney, as quoted in The Galactic Tribune.
Obviously, we ve got to go on the road once more, but hopefully build on the momentum…
