Tottenham are close to announcing Roberto De Zerbi as their new head coach.

Roberto De Zerbi can deliver the football Tottenham fans crave. To dare is to do is a fitting description of the Italian’s philosophy. That counts for nothing, though, if he cannot save Spurs from relegation. This is the final roll of the dice. De Zerbi or bust.

Leah Williamson and Beth Mead have been included in the latest England squad ahead of World Cup Qualifiers against Spain and Iceland, while 17-year-old Erica Meg Parkinson has received a first senior call-up.

Paul Merson says Tottenham bringing in Roberto De Zerbi will be the best money the club have ever spent should they remain in the Premier League.

Aidan O’Brien says a “computer error” led to Albert Einstein and Gstaad being mistakenly scratched from the Betfred 2000 Guineas.
