Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve the attacking unit with the signing of the Monaco attacker, Maghnes Akliouche. A report from TEAMtalk claims they were monitoring his performances while on international duty this week. The player was in action for his country against Ukraine, and Tottenham representatives were present to watch him closely. The report claims that he is one of the players they are looking to sign in 2026.

Rob had signed a three-year contract with ourselves during the summer, but after he made it clear he was keen to join Wolves, we reluctantly agreed a figure of compensation for both himself and one of his first team coaches, Harry Watling. On Saturday the Riverside came together as one, players, staff, and supporters, and you could feel the sense of unity which is at the core of our club. To everyone involved, we would like to say thank you.

Arsenal's progress under Mikel Arteta has been clear to see, even if major trophies have been elusive. The Gunners are now consistent title challengers and favourites to win their first Premier League in over two decades after a strong start to 2025-26. Arteta has been the instigator, stabilising a team that had struggled in the latter years of Arsene Wenger's tenure and under Unai Emery.

The final international break of the year gives us a chance to pause for breath and reflect. With almost one-third of the 2025/26 season already out of the way, league tables are starting to take shape and clubs up and down the country are bracing themselves for the slog of the winter months. So, it seems as good a time as any to dig out our season predictions - which you can find here - and see which teams in the Premier League and EFL are performing as we expected and who has surprised us - and not necessarily in a good way.

As he tried to calm the concern after defeat at Nottingham Forest, manager Daniel Farke admitted Leeds United supporters could be described as "emotional". Which could go a long way to explaining why Joe Rodon has fitted in so well with them. The Wales defender not only wears his heart on his sleeve, but displays it on his face. You didn't have to be a body language expert to see the 28-year-old's City Ground frustration

VAR is always going to face accusations of being inconsistent, because its role is not to create consistency of decision-making but judge individual incidents based upon the on-field call. So it can be helpful to understand what VAR is looking for and why similar situations can have opposing outcomes. From the penalty awarded to Manchester City against Liverpool, to Dan Burn's challenges on Dango Ouattara and Brighton's overturned spot-kick at Crystal Palace, we saw a whole range.

"I don't think there is any point for us. If you lose as many games as we have lost, I don't think we can look at the table at this point, but I have been in the game quite a long time [to know] that seasons aren't decided in November or December. It's when it comes to March or April time when it starts to become very interesting how it all shapes up up there. We want to be there but there's a long way to go and a lot of hard work to be put in. So we have to stay humble and we have to keep working and that is the only aim and the only thing we should focus on."

Newcastle United have made a decision on the future of Eddie Howe with the Magpies just two points above the Premier League drop zone. Newcastle's poor away record in the league continued in west London as they lost to Brentford, despite leading 1-0 at half-time. They have failed to win on the road this season, drawing three and losing three on their travels so far, and with an extra two losses at home, Howe's credentials are being tested to the limit.

It is obvious and clear that the wrong decision has been made, at least in my opinion. [Robertson] didn't interfere at all with what the goalkeeper could do. Immediately after the game someone showed me the goal that the same referee allowed -- City against Wolves last season. So it took the linesman 13 seconds to raise his flag to say it was offside. So there was clearly communication, but as I said that could have influenced the game in a positive way for us.

"It's a sign of the mentality changing," he said. "We are on a run of one loss in five now. It's good to get that winning feeling back. "The players have spoken openly about going through a lot. They've accepted how we're doing things and have accepted the squad game. We have to work with the players and continue the growth. "We can't guarantee a quick equaliser, but we did it against Manchester United and did it again today.
