Three Premier League sides interested in Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens
reports that three Premier League clubs are showing interest in Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens as the club continues to struggle on the pitch.
As the season goes on, European qualification especially into the Champions League looks more and more unlikely for Dortmund. This would mean they have to sell a player this summer to offset the loss of money and it is increasingly likely that Gittens will be the one to leave.
Die Schwarzgelben will demand around €100m for the 20-year-old. Tottenham are said to have been interested in Gittens for a while now and could move in the summer, while Arsenal and Chelsea are also said to be monitoring the situation. Bayern Munich have previously been linked for a move for Gittens in the summer as well.
What doesn't help the situation is that when Gittens was substituted against Bochum at the weekend, he was seemingly attacked verbally by the Dortmund fans and needed to be calmed down by his teammates in the 2-0 loss to their local rivals.
Dortmund are currently 11th in the Bundesliga table and Gittens is their second-highest scorer his season with seven goals in 22 Bundesliga games, behind Serhou Guirassy who is on nine goals in 19 matches.

FIFA reveals ticket sales in wake of sparse Club World Cup attendance
FIFA reveals ticket sales in wake of sparse Club World Cup attendance Show Caption Hide Caption Are Boca Juniors fans the most fun crowd at FIFA Club World Cup? Boca Juniors fans showed up in force to their teams opening match at the FIFA Club World Cup. Sports Pulse FIFA says it has sold close to 1.5 million tickets for Club World Cup matches as of Tuesday, as images of empty stadium seats during weekday games have become a prevalent storyline during the tournament's first week in the United States. The Club World Cup opener featuring Lionel Messi and Inter Miami playing to an entertaining, but scoreless draw against Egyptian side Al Ahly on Saturday drew 60,927 fans at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium. One day later, 80,619 fans attended a match to see Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain beat Spanish club Atlético de Madrid 4-0 at the Rose Bowl near Los Angeles. It was the largest crowd either club played in front of during their respective 2024-25 seasons. However, Tuesday's noon ET match at MetLife Stadium between German standouts Borussia Dortmund and Brazilian club Fluminense was played in front of 34,736 fans in the 82,500-seat venue that will host the Club World Cup final on July 13. The start time was 6 p.m. in Dortmund, Germany. MetLife is also set to host next year's World Cup final. Monday's 3 p.m. ET match between Chelsea FC (England) and Los Angeles FC (MLS) also saw more empty seats than seats filled at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. There was an announced crowd of 22,137 in the 71,000-seat venue, home to the NFL's Atlanta Falcons. The match began at 8 p.m. local time in the United Kingdom. 'I think the environment was a bit strange. You know, the stadium was almost empty – not full,' Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca said after the 2-0 win. FIFA says more than 340,000 fans attended the first eight matches of the tournament (Saturday-Monday), and expects more than 50,000 fans to show up to the top-selling group-stage matches in the next week. Among those matches are Real Madrid's Club World Cup opener with Saudi club Al Hilal at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium on Wednesday, their tilt against Mexican standouts CF Pachuca on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, and a match against Austrian side FC Salzburg on June 26 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The others are Friday: England's Chelsea FC will meet Brazilian side CR Flamengo in Philadelphia, and Germany's FC Bayern München will face Argentina's CA Boca Juniors in Miami.

The organization will also contribute $1 for every tournament ticket sold to the FIFA Global Education Fund, which launched in April 2025 and is designed to improve access to quality education and football for children around the world. 'FIFA is proud of the unique and multicultural atmosphere and support this new competition has already generated — and thanks every fan who has brought their voice, passion, and presence as the FIFA Club World Cup continues to grow into the undisputed pinnacle of global club football,' FIFA president Gianni Infantino said in a statement.

Levy wants Spurs to be Premier League winners
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said he had no regrets over the hiring of Ange Postecoglou as he defended the decision to sack the Australian as manager. Postecoglou guided Spurs to their first trophy for 17 years by winning the Europa League last month. Advertisement However, that was not enough to save his job after finishing 17th in the Premier League. The decision to dismiss the former Celtic boss and appoint Thomas Frank has been met with a backlash from many among the Tottenham fan base. But Levy outlined his ambition for Spurs to be Premier League and Champions League winners some day. "I don't regret appointing Ange, I'm very grateful to Ange. In his first season we finished fifth and in his second we were over the moon to win a trophy," Levy told the club's in-house media. "But we need to compete in all competitions, and we felt that we needed a change. Advertisement "Emotionally it was difficult but we feel that we've made the right decision for the club." Tottenham have not won the English top flight since 1961 and have never won the Champions League. "We've won a European trophy, but it's not enough," Levy added. "It's what we haven't done that is more important. We need to win the league. We want to win the Premier League. We want to win the Champions League. We want to win." Levy has held his position at Tottenham for more than 25 years with Frank becoming the 13th permanent manager in that time. "Whenever you have a new coach, it's always a fresh start. (There are) always have different ideas but we want to build on the success of winning a trophy last season," he said.
