Is Bergvall an option at 10?
Tottenham's quest for a 'number 10' to fill the gap left by the absence of James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski has become one of the dominant themes of the transfer Eze may well be the solution to allow Spurs to carry more threat, particularly against the best teams in the land and on the continent. However, there were hints on Saturday that there was another potential player who could step into that role if Bergvall was selected as part of a very young midfield for Saturday's Premier League opener against Burnley. And while part of a midfield three, he demonstrated some of the flair required to occupy that role just off the main Spurs learned last year, simply throwing young players into the front line may have been an unavoidable necessity due to injuries, but it didn't really do much good as far as Premier League results were nevertheless learned a huge amount last season, and his manager didn't rule out the prospect of using him in a "number 10 role" when I spoke to him after Saturday's match:"I think he can," Frank said. "I think he's probably more a Szoboszlai 10 than a Maddison 10, but I think these days football is so dynamic and you need to be so flexible, so the more players that can play in different positions the better".In the search for creative attacking support, Spurs might be able to develop a player or two, as well as import some big-money seems well-equipped to do this.

Will Arsenal sign a left-winger?
We have had plenty of questions come in after Arsenal's 1-0 win over Manchester United in the opening weekend of the Premier League. The most common theme was Arsenal's need to sign a left-winger. Mikel Arteta said himself after the pre-season match against Athletic Bilbao that the Gunners are "actively looking at options" in the market. Arsenal have been looking at players who could play on the left wing but they do have options in their squad who can take on the role through the season. Gabriel Martinelli started their Premier League opener at Old Trafford and Noni Madueke came on there for Martinelli, and featured from the left in the two pre-season friendlies against Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao. Leandro Trossard can also play in the position but could leave if there was an offer that reached the club's valuation. The Gunners do have players they would be open to selling as a way to raise funds for a new signing before the deadline, including Fabio Vieira, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Reiss Nelson, Jakob Kiwior and Albert Samba Lokonga. Arsenal are staying alert if there is a market opportunity and they have the money and PSR headroom to do it - but ideally they would like a couple of outgoings before making something happen.

Ferguson's red card 'harsh'
Bangor manager Lee Feeney felt Matthew Ferguson's red card in the 3-1 defeat to Crusaders was "harsh" but had no issues with Stephen McGuinness' earlier was shown red for an off the ball tangle before Ferguson followed three minutes later for a heavy finishing with nine players, Feeney was happy with how his players stuck to the task and went close to an equaliser before Crusaders striker Fraser Bryden put the issue beyond doubt in added time."I felt one was harsh and shouldn't have been a red card but the other was a red card," Feeney told BBC Sport NI."The second should never have been a red card - that is disappointing because the poor fella misses a lot of games."It was that type of game: ding dong, tense and heated. In saying that, we worked our socks off and even down to nine men we thought we had that equaliser. The boys gave everything, so I'm pleased with that and it gives us something to work on going into Saturday."The Seasiders had been strong defensively in their opening two games, but Feeney felt those standards slipped on being the league's new boys, there is no shortage of ambition and the Bangor boss said his players were "hurt" by their second defeat of the season."We just didn't defend like I know we can and if we did, we would have had a chance," Feeney added."We are only in the Premiership and get three points the first game. We're disappointed to lose 1-0 at Glentoran and really hurt today to lose to Crusaders, so that tells you where our mindset is at."I felt we did enough to get something out of the game. I don't think we were good enough in both boxes, conceded two silly goals and then weren't ruthless enough at the other end which cost you the game."
