24 minutes ago Spurs backed to win Europa League Dejan Kulusevski believes Tottenham can go all the way in the Europa League in this season.
“It would be great (to win the Europa League),” he said. “That is why I work every day as hard as I can to do it. I believe we still can do it.
“A lot of players are coming back from injury now, like Micky [van de Ven], so I still believe we can do it this year.”

25 minutes ago Kulusevski backs fit-again Van de Ven to bring energy to Tottenham Dejan Kulusevski has backed Micky van de Ven to bring much-needed energy to Tottenham after he produced an assured display on his comeback in a 3-0 win over Elfsborg.
A hamstring issue for Van de Ven back on October 30 against Manchester City was the start of Spurs’ injury woe, with the Dutch defender only able to play once during the ensuing three months following a setback in December.
Van de Ven got through 45 minutes on Thursday and will be primed for more at Brentford on Sunday, especially after fellow centre-back Radu Dragusin was forced off with a knee issue.
Tottenham are well placed in three cup competitions and with other key figures set to return next month, Kulusevski is positive they can move up the table.
Van de Ven made his first appearance since December 8.

1 hour ago Alejandro Garnacho has ‘changed in everything’ as Ruben Amorim praises Manchester United winger Ruben Amorim has heaped praise on Alejandro Garnacho for the way he has kicked on and “changed in everything” since the disappointment of being left out of the Manchester derby.
It is seven weeks since the Argentina international and fellow academy graduate Marcus Rashford were surprisingly omitted from the United squad that went on to to secure a late comeback win at City.
The latter’s continued exile is dominating the headlines, with Amorim saying on the eve of the Europa League match against FCSB that he “has to change” and meet his standards to have a future at Old Trafford.
Speculation rumbles on over Rashford ahead of Monday’s transfer deadline, as does talk about Garnacho’s future – although the 20-year-old’s response to the City setback appears starkly different.
The forward has impressed the Manchester United coach in contrast to Marcus Rashford, whose absence continues.

2 hours ago Who Tottenham could face in Europa League last-16 after knockout play-off draw Tottenham Hotspur’s unpredictable season will feature knockout football in the Europa League after Spurs claimed a top-eight place.
Ange Postecoglou’s side sit 15th in the Premier League but the Europa League offers them the chance to end their long trophy drought, and Spurs should stand as one of the favourites when their injury crisis clears.
After winning their first three Europa League fixtures this season, Spurs wobbled and suffered defeat to Galatasaray before dropping points against Roma and Rangers. But a win over Hoffenheim, followed by three points again Elfsborg got Tottenham over the line.

2 hours ago Who Rangers could face in Europa League after knockout draw Rangers have learned a little more about how their Europa League campaign after reaching the knockout rounds for the fifth time in six seasons.
A difficult campaign for Philippe Clement’s side domestically has been brightened by better showings in Europe, with Rangers defeating Nice 4-1 away from home and holding Tottenham to a 1-1 draw at Ibrox.
While Rangers suffered a late defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford, the Ibrox club secured a 2-1 victory against Union Saint-Gilloise on the final matchday.
Rangers are through to the last-16 along with Tottenham and Manchester United

2 hours ago Who Manchester United could face in Europa League last-16 United did not win any of their first three games under Erik ten Hag, before interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ruben Amorim steadied the ship.
Though United still left it late to defeat Viktoria Plzen and Rangers, a final victory over FCSB secured their place in the top-eight.
United’s position in the bottom half of the Premier League table means victory in the Europa League is their best chance of returning to the Champions League next season.
And with no teams dropping into the Europa League from the Champions League this season, they will be among the favourites to go all the way.
