Socceroos veteran doesn't want European dream to end
Ryan is currently without a club after his contract with French Ligue 1 team RC Lens ended. The 33-year-old is desperate to stay in Europe, but he doesn't want another situation like the one he faced at AS Roma. Ryan signed for the Italian giants in July last year, only for the dream to turn into a nightmare after making just one appearance across his six-month stint there. That lack of game time put his position as Australia's No.1 gloveman in doubt, but the stint in France helped him regain his mantle. The June transfer window is now open, and Ryan is optimistic a good opportunity will pop up. If Ryan plays a key role in helping Australia secure World Cup qualification in upcoming games against Japan and Saudi Arabia, it could boost his stocks even further. "I'm not too worried," Ryan said. "I just go out there and try my best and everything sorts itself out at the end of the day. "That's been the trend throughout my career. So I'm feeling quite at ease about that, and just focused on the job at hand here with the Socceroos." When asked if he wanted to stay in Europe, Ryan replied: "Yeah, 100 per cent. That's my ambition still. "I'm hungrier than I've ever been before, wanting that success. "I'm feeling good, and I'm feeling still quite young. "I've just got to obviously continue to do the job and prove that I'm a world-class goalkeeper through my performances, and the rest will take care of it itself."

Tottenham confirm first transfer of the window after triggering loan star's option to buy on a permanent deal
TOTTENHAM have confirmed that Kevin Danso's initial loan move is set to become a permanent transfer. The centre-back, 26, joined Spurs from RC Lens in January on an initial six-month loan. 7 7 The transfer included an obligation to buy, with Tottenham spending £21million to make the move permanent. Updating fans, Spurs confirmed their Danso switch while also referencing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's permanent move to Marseille. Their statement read: "As previously announced, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's loan to Marseille will become a permanent transfer this summer, while Kevin Danso's loan to us from RC Lens becomes a permanent move." Danso made 10 Premier League appearances for Spurs either side of a hamstring injury. The former Southampton youngster made his debut in Tottenham's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg defeat at Liverpool, while he also featured in their FA Cup exit at Aston Villa. Danso appeared three times in Spurs' victorious Europa League campaign, including as a substitute in the 1-0 final win over Manchester United. Upon joining at the end of the January transfer window, Danso said: "It feels amazing. I've always wanted to play for a big club in the Premier League and Tottenham Hotspur is exactly that… I think as soon as you hear Tottenham Hotspur is interested, the only thing you can do is say yes." On what attracted him to Spurs, the 6ft 3in defender added: "Just everything, especially through the last few years, how big the club has become — they've got into a Champions League final before. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 7 "It's just an amazing project to be a part of and I'm happy to be here. "There's opportunities to win trophies. I think that is every kid's dream growing up — to win trophies at a Club like Tottenham Hotspur." Ange Postecoglou drops huge hint over Tottenham future with incredible mic-drop moment at Europa League parade In addition to Hojbjerg, Spurs formally announced the departures of Fraser Forster, Sergio Reguilon, Alfie Whiteman and Timo Werner. Forster, 37, featured 34 times for Spurs in three seasons, including four times in this year's Europa League campaign. Reguilon signed from Real Madrid in 2020 and played 73 times for Tottenham, either side of loans with Atletico Madrid, Man Utd and Brentford. Goalkeeper Whiteman, 26, came through the club's academy and made one first team outing. Tottenham have unsurprisingly opted against making Timo Werner's loan deal permanent. Academy starlets Will Andiyapan, Archie Baptiste, Jahziah Linton, Maxwell McKnight, Max Robson, Jaden Williams, Timileyin Adekunle, Dante Orr and Charlie Warre have also departed. 7 7 7 7

Pierre Sage the lading candidate to take charge at Lens
Pierre Sage is now the leading candidate to take charge at RC Lens, according to a report from Foot Mercato. Lens have been without a manager since the final day of the Ligue 1 season, when Will Still shocked journalists by announcing his departure after just one season at the helm. He has since taken the job at Southampton. Advertisement That was almost two weeks ago, and whilst Lens are yet to name Still's successor, they are nearing an appointment as talks with candidates continue. Foot Mercato understands that Sage, out of a job since leaving Olympique Lyonnais at the start of the year, is the leading candidate. However, there are still other possibilities, including Yannick Cahuzac and Luís Castro. The latter excelled with USL Dunkerque last season, both in Ligue 2 and in the Coupe de France. He is also a target for FC Nantes, however, neither side are willing to pay the €2m compensation fee demanded by Dunkerque. GFFN | Luke Entwistle
