Norwich City chief David McNally insists there’s no escape clause in their £8.5m deal with Sporting for striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel.
The Dutch striker’s agent sparked panic among the Canaries faithful yesterday when he said that the transfer depends on Norwich staying up.
But McNally described the reports as “absolute rubbish”.
It is unlikely that the Norwich board would be as keen to be tied into such a big investment if Chris Hughton’s side do go down, but Sporting are unlikely to have agreed to such a clause as they could lose millions if the deal was scrapped.
The former Utrecht striker won’t be short of suitors, if he does turn his nose up at a spell in the Championship, which could bring a season-long loan deal into the equation.
Agent Louis Laros has made sure his client’s name remains on the lists of some clubs by making the comments to Abola – whether they are based on fact or not.
“There is a special clause in the deal accepted by all parties that stipulates if Norwich leave the Premier League then the future of Ricky van Wolfswinkel will be open again,” he said.
“That is the reality, but we are confident in the ability of the English club to remain in the top division.

“For now Ricky is only thinking about Sporting and helping them to get results. At the end of the season, he will start to focus on Norwich.”
Liverpool have no intention of pursuing a deal for Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini, according to the Daily Mail.
What’s the story?
The summer transfer window will soon be open, so right on cue, bizarre stories have emerged from the rumour mill.
One of which came from French publication L’Equipe, which stated that the Reds are interested in signing Fellaini this summer.
Jurgen Klopp could soon be looking for a new midfielder due to the uncertainty surrounding Emre Can’s future at Anfield.
L’Equipe claims that the Reds are willing to offer Fellaini a three-year deal once his contract expires at United this summer.
However, according to the Daily Mail, the Merseyside outfit will not be making a move for the 30-year-old.
Would it have been that crazy?
Players moving between Liverpool and United is certainly not favourable when it comes to the supporters due to the intense rivalry between the two clubs.
However, in this case, Fellaini is not hugely admired by all of United’s fanbase, which suggests that the controversy of a switch would eventually die down.

Signing the midfielder would have some benefits for Liverpool given that he would not cost a fee.
In addition, the Belgian would present another option for Klopp, particularly if Can leaves this summer.
Having said that, though, Fellaini does bring with him a negative edge, that some would see as dirty tactics.
Everybody in the BT Sports studio let out a dry chuckle when Harry Redknapp joked about Liverpool and Tottenham scrapping it out to avoid the Europa League following the former’s 4-1 defeat to Arsenal earlier this month, but that may well be the deepest, darkest, most paradoxical wish of his twice-removed successor, Mauricio Pochettino.
Not to suggest Spurs’ tepid form since a 3-0 defeat to Manchester United in March has been in any way unnaturally orchestrated; there’s no Europa-League-gate conspiracy requiring unearthing.
But as Redknapp proclaimed in 2011, the Europa League is a ‘killer’ for Premier League clubs; it saps squad fitness, causes unnecessary injuries, obliges league fixtures to be rescheduled on Sundays and adds an extra 19 games to the campaign if you’re unfortunate enough to reach the tournament’s final.
Spurs are hardly in a position to be turning down silverware, especially trophies of such continental repute, and winning the tournament next season would give Pochettino an unorthodox route to his ultimate task as White Hart Lane manager – qualification into the Champions League.
However, the track record of the Europa League’s pejorative impact on English clubs speaks for itself. On average, teams finish 2.3 places lower in the Premier League the year after qualifying for Europe’s second tier tournament, the biggest slide being Newcastle’s eleven-place plummet in 2012/13. On only eight occasions since 2004, out of a possible 31, have English sides finished in a higher position than the year previous during campaigns of Europa League participation. And, albeit by the miniscule difference of just 0.02, Premier League sides claim less points than the 1.43 average in games immediately following Europa League fixtures.
So no matter how well-dressed ITV4 attempt to make it, as if the channel’s sheer name and lowly listing in the Radio Times isn’t conclusive enough, the Europa League is statistically proven to more likely hinder than help Premier League clubs – which makes you wonder how Pochettino’s first season at White Hart Lane would have gone if it hadn’t coincided with his first season in the Europa League.
Not that the Europa League has been a complete waste of time for the Argentine. He’s used it to examine the extremities of Tottenham’s holistic squad, giving fringe players and youngsters the opportunities to impress, and without his superfluous run of form during the tournament’s early stages, scoring five in his first four appearances, it’s unlikely Harry Kane would’ve found the confidence to unleash his godly netting prowess onto the Premier League in such emphatic fashion.
But following a campaign in which Tottenham have neither progressed nor regressed under their new manager, instead slowly transforming into a different kind of 6th-place animal, it’s a headache Pochettino simply doesn’t need.
So let’s look at the situation in reverse – how many clubs have benefitted from not playing in the Europa League. Although there’s no coherent pattern as such from the last decade, since 2008 (and assuming current league standings remain as they are at the end of May) seven out of a possible nine clubs to have finished in the top eight but not qualified for the Europa League have gone on to improve their league standing in the following season – the biggest difference being Liverpool’s jump from seventh to second between 2012 and 2014. The Anfield outfit are the only real anomaly – they didn’t qualify in 2010/11, but dropped two places to eighth the term after. Meanwhile, Everton maintained seventh place without qualifying two years in a row.

To suggest not qualifying will have the same effect on Tottenham next season would be pure speculation – albeit, speculation based on some pretty solid quantitative evidence. But for a club that have regularly toyed with the top four during the last six years – and this season spent 15 weeks in the top six – non-involvement in the Europa League might finally provide the respite they need to fully focus on a successful Champions League bid. Admittedly, that would still likely require one of England’s regular representatives in Europe’s most coveted tournament to endure a disastrous campaign.
Unfortunately, however, barring a minor miracle, Spurs’ fate for next season is already sealed. With Chelsea winning the Capital One Cup and Arsenal widely expected to thump Aston Villa at Wembley in the FA Cup, it would take a plummet to eighth place to avoid next term’s Europa League. Currently, eighth-place Swansea are eight points behind.
But a man can dream and if its not already, only one thought should be crossing Pochettino’s mind at night; how to throw away Tottenham’s last four games without being done for match-fixing.
It’s an age old issue and one that always comes front and centre when the national team inevitably underperforms at a major international tournament, but the subject of youth development in the Premier League is an important topic of debate, and taking a look around the top flight, which clubs are the best at integrating younger players into their first-team set-up and is there any one right way to plot success?
Manchester United currently hold a 15-point lead at the top of the Premier League over rivals Manchester City, and while the side may need tinkering with in certain areas with a number of key players quickly approaching the twilight of their respective careers, the overall balance of the squad seems on the money.
However, all of the fawning talk of ‘Ferguson’s Fledglings’ in clear reference to ‘Busby’s Babes’ is clearly a load of nonsense. Of course, having 22-year-old Longsight born and bred Danny Welbeck and 23-year-old academy product Tom Cleverley ensures that they retain an element of identity and link between the pitch and the local community, but we shouldn’t kid ourselves about the broader picture. David De Gea (22) arrived from Atletico Madrid for £18.9m, Phil Jones (21) was signed from Blackburn for £17m and Chris Smalling (23) moved from Fulham for £10m. As far as transfer policies go, planning for the future like that is a sound one, but it also comes at a cost that most teams in the division can’t match or even get close to.
Where they have struck a balance well, though, as much as the good age range between experienced and seasoned pros, those players approaching their peak and a youthful core of up-and-coming hungry players striving to become first-team regulars is their use of the loan market. Welbeck benefited hugely from his time at Sunderland, while Cleverley thrived at Watford and Wigan and it’s a route that not enough clubs have used successfully in the past few years, which is puzzling because it seems such an obvious and simple way to get players much-needed battle-hardened experience.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has been forced to rely on an entire swathe of younger prospects this season, but as he’s spent more money, slowly but surely the opportunities have dried up for the likes of Suso, Raheem Sterling, Jonjo Shelvey and Andre Wisdom. Kenny Dalglish initially granted youngsters a chance to impress when he first took over from Roy Hodgson, only to then go out and spend £56m the following summer on the likes of Jordan Henderson, Stewart Downing and Jose Enrique, blocking any path they may have found to the first-team. It will be interesting to see if history repeats itself again this year under new management given the club’s record since Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher broke through has been nothing short of dreadful.
Manchester City clearly sense that bringing through a steady stream of academy products is essential to their long-term plan with the building of a new training centre and emphasis on youth-team football. It’s no coincidence that former Barcelona duo Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain are heading that project up, given La Masia’s outstanding success not only in terms of quantity but wonderful world-class quality in the past decade. With Financial Fair Play coming into effect, which aims to reduce the influence of money in the game while simultaneously ensuring the status quo of the current elite is maintained, and the next decade will as much be about the success of youth development as anything else for those seeking to bridge the gap, with their ambitions curbed by Uefa.
Chelsea have followed a similar path to Real Madrid in forsaking instant success and short-term gains over the longer benefits of having a successful system from top to bottom. This has seen Scott Sinclair, Daniel Sturridge, Miroslav Stoch, Fabio Borini, Nemanja Matic, Gokhan Tore and Michael Mancienne find success elsewhere after struggling to break through past the more established household names. The pressure for success at Stamford Bridge is all-consuming to whoever comes through the door and takes charge and that doesn’t look like changing in the near future with only really Ryan Bertrand filtering through in recent years. It’s an embarrassingly poor record considering the talent they’ve had at their disposal and a massive waste of resources.
Arsenal, as you might expect given Arsene Wenger’s principles and ideas about the game, nailed their colours to the mast long ago and they’ve had some huge successes in the last decade, with Cesc Fabregas (poached from Barcelona at 16), Jack Wilshere and Alex Song all serving as great examples. They’re not afraid to move for younger players on big money in a similar way to United either, though, as the Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Aaron Ramsey signings indicate, totalling approximately £26m. Where they have fallen short where United have succeeded, mind, is keeping hold of those younger players once they’ve developed into fully fledged stars, being forced to sell Robin van Persie, Fabregas and Samir Nasri due to a lack of silverware. Glory funnily enough always fosters loyalty.
Tottenham have been punching above their weight in the youth stakes for quite some time now, with Michael Dawson, Tom Huddlestone and Aaron Lennon all purchased on the cheap, with Kyle Walker, Kyle Naughton and Gareth Bale all costing just that little bit more. They’ve really tried to maintain an English core to their squad and a lot is expected of both Steven Caulker and Tom Carroll in the future, even if Jake Livermore and Andros Townsend seem as if their futures may be elsewhere in the summer. By buying British, they’re ensuring an identity is preserved, even if their own academy record hasn’t been all that good of late, but they’re another club to invest heavily off the pitch in rectifying that the past year.
It just goes to show that when it comes to handling youth, so many things can go wrong at that age and players develop at different speeds meaning it’s impossible to say with any real conviction that one model is better than the other. It’s all about striking that balance between drip-feeding local players, buying the best from around England early and the odd big splash for a star in the making.

In that respect, Ferguson has done an impressive job at United, bolstered by the club’s success which has made the task even easier in the future. It’s a unique environment and situation in which he holds all the power and can do as he please and few clubs get the opportunity to replicate that.
The constant turnover of managers create constant pressure on those in charge to create results. At the moment, investing in youth is essential, but without opportunity, few see the rewards it can bring.
Newcastle fans just can’t get enough of Ayoze Perez, after the Spaniard tweeted his joy about making his 100th Premier League appearance for the club.
There has always been a feeling around St. James’ Park that Ayoze Perez has all the ability in the world, and just needs the right system to bring out his brilliant best.
Despite a lack of end product at times, there’s certainly no doubt about the 24 year-old’s talent, and he has shown his versatility since Benitez arrived, playing both as a striker and a number ten, and even drifting further wide at times.
If end product was a problem in the past, it certainly hasn’t been as of late, as the Spaniard has two goals and three assists in his last six starts.

He was at his absolute best in the 2-1 win at Leicester, setting up the first goal before scoring an audacious chip to double the lead.

Perez tweeted his thanks to the club and fans on Thursday, and fans are absolutely loving it.
Some of the best Twitter reactions can be found below…
The last-gasp comeback against West Ham at the weekend was a typical showing of how Tottenham manage to fight until the very last seconds to pick up points in the Premier League. A mishit Danny Rose shot fooled Adrian before Harry Kane went down in the penalty area as a result of an Alex Song tackle in the 95th minute.
The subsequent penalty was saved by Adrian before Kane pounced on the loose ball to strike home. Around 20 minutes prior to the two goals, it looked as if Tottenham were dead and buried, as they were playing poorly and showed little killer-instinct in attack.
So just how do Tottenham keep rescuing points at the death of games such as the one against West Ham? It can be argued that some of it is down to luck. Danny Rose’s goal was one that won’t be remembered for years to come as it freakishly looped into the bottom-right hand corner of the goal. However, you need a bit of luck to complete a turnaround and Tottenham seized the opportunity to make West Ham suffer.
After Rose’s goal, the pressure was relentless. Spurs were not necessarily creating chance after chance but they played most of the latter stages of the second half attacking West Ham’s goal. It was this constant pressure that eventually forced the Hammers to crack, as Song rushed a challenge to bring down Harry Kane as the in-form striker looked to bulldoze his way into the box when time was quickly running out.
[ad_pod id=’football-friends’ align=’center’]
So a distinctive formula to Spurs’ late showings is luck. However, if you’re good enough, you can make your own luck. This applies to no team more in the Premier League than Tottenham. Pochettino has moulded a team that not only plays good football but is also incredibly fit. This allows Spurs to keep pushing until the 90th minute whilst other teams may be suffering with tiredness at late stages in the game. Pochettino set the tone in Tottenham’s first game of the season, a game also against West Ham.
Eric Dier was the hero for Spurs that day as he scored the winner at Upton Park in the 90th minute. This last-gasp winner seemed to set the tone for the rest of the season as West Ham were not the only team on the end of a number of late showings from Spurs.
Eriksen’s late strikes against the likes of Hull City, Swansea City and Sunderland ensured that Spurs grabbed very late wins. Harry Kane is also no stranger to a late goal as he scored at the death against Aston Villa, Arsenal and of course West Ham, which gained vital points for Spurs. It is this psychological strength that almost echoes the days of Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. Tottenham do not relax when the game is coming to an end, it is this time that they really hit top gear.
Although Pochettino may like his team to perform at their highest level for slightly longer than the last five minutes, it is still a very valuable team trait to have. If Spurs do qualify for the Champions League at the end of the season, they will look towards the 90th minute winners that were instrumental to picking up more points across the entirety of the season.

Some may call it luck but Tottenham’s late efforts are more a force of habit which could lead to them playing Champions League football next year.
Derek Llambias has revealed that Newcastle United will keep scanning other leagues for future signings, as buying in the Premier League can be “very expensive”.
In statements to Chronicle Live, the Magpies’ managing director admitted that the club does not avoid the local market altogether, although he states price is the main inconvenience when buying British.
“We keep an eye on the UK market too. British players are very expensive, which is a factor for us,” he confessed.
After recently signing five players from Ligue 1, the Newcastle businessman made no secret that the French league is an attractive market for the club. However, they remain open to other leagues in Europe and further afield.
“We have to explore other markets, though, which we do. We are still going to other markets,” he added.
Newcastle brought Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, Moussa Sissoko, Yoan Gouffran, Mathieu Debuchy and Massadio Haidara in from France in the January window, but Llambias is revealed that French teams are now becoming aware of the Geordies’ liking for the market, saying: “It’s getting harder for us in France.”

Nevertheless, he also confirmed that the club’s chief scout, Graham Carr, will continue searching the French leagues with an eye on next summer’s transfer window, while exploring the hotbed of talent that is the Belgian and Dutch top flight.
Liverpool fans have been debating whether or not manager Jurgen Klopp should field a strong team against Merseyside rivals Everton later today.
The reason being that the Reds have a crucial Champions League quarter-final second leg against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday evening.
At the moment, Liverpool hold a 3-0 advantage in the tie thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sadio Mane.
Despite their significant advantage, Pep Guardiola’s City team are capable of performing a comeback.
Judging by Klopp’s press conference on Friday, the German coach is prioritising the Champions League over today’s derby.
The former Borussia Dortmund boss told reporters that Danny Ings could be given the nod to start at Goodison Park.
The injury-plagued striker has made just eight appearances in all competitions this season, and every one has been an outing from the bench.
Ings have never started a match under Klopp, but it appears that today will be the day.
Liverpool fans have tweeted their reaction to the team news.
The more I watch West Ham’s Andy Carroll assert his height, brawn and firepower on Premier League defences, the more I’m left giddily confused. No, not sexually – although he is blessed with chimpish good looks. Not as a football fan either, although there is something bizarrely enjoyable about watching the Hammers kick their opponents more frequently than the ball, like a buffet of anti-Barcelona propaganda.
Rather, when the England striker leaps majestically in their air above the opposition backline, elongating his lanky limbs like an imperious gazelle, elbowing one defender in the face and a second in the luxuries, before controlling the ball with his chest, pulling off a few step-overs and slamming the ball into the top of the onion bag, as he did, albeit in a slightly less romanticised fashion, against Swansea City two weekends ago, what am I actually watching?
Am I watching, simply, an old-fashioned, dying breed of No.9 enjoying a superfluous run of form, arguably his most convincing yet in Claret and Blue? Or, is Andy Carroll something greater, something uniquely unappreciated, something more beautiful in its complexity, than your run-of-the-mill, 6 foot 4 target man?
Carroll has always been unplayable when in top form; his lurching frame too aerially dominant to effectively overcome, his ruthlessly combative Geordie spirit too physically draining for opposition defences, his flamboyant hairstyle so distracting and drawing that space develops in the box, with almost miraculous uncanniness, for veteran goal-hanger Kevin Nolan to readily exploit. Lest we forget, such performances for Newcastle convinced Liverpool to invest £35million in the pony-tailed front-man back when he was just 22 years of age.
But the same can be said for most players in the Premier League, ranging from Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero to Stoke City’s John Walters. On his day, Emile Heskey was unplayable, as was equally maligned England team-mate Darius Vassell; the infrequency of such occasions was always the predominant issue.
There’s been far more consistency about Carroll this season however, perhaps due to it being the first campaign in which Sam Allardyce hasn’t forcibly rushed the England international back to fitness following yet another long-term injury. The honeymoon form of Enner Valencia and Daifra Sakho subsequent to their summer arrivials, bagging nine goals and three assists combined before Carroll’s return in November, allowed him the time to rehabilitate and he’s now reaping the rewards.
The influence of added competition is clearly a positive one too. Not only is Carroll’s place in West Ham’s starting XI contested by Valencia, Sakho and Carlton Cole, but his destiny within the England set-up is now intertwined with Charlie Austin, Saido Berahino and Harry Kane’s – three home-grown products amongst the Premier League’s top eight goalscorers this term.
Carroll’s liberty from injury combined with the plethora of competition he now faces suggests a player in improved form. The subtle changes in philosophy at West Ham, effectively ending the days of him being a sole figure in the opposition half for the majority of any given 90 minutes, is also beneficial. The front-man’s receiving a higher quality of service than in prior campaigns and he’s no longer contesting entire defences single-handedly. It’s all got a bit easier, a bit less of a one-man-band ordeal, for Carroll to impress this season.
That being said, the technical side of the England international’s game is almost incomparable to last season. The afore-described goal against Swansea, in addition to a divinely guided lob against Leicester in December, wouldn’t be out of place on the wall of the Tate Gallery for their aesthetic quality and required skill, whilst Carroll’s link-up play, those deft touches into the paths of on-running midfielders, those cute flick-ons with chest, foot and head, have been equally sublime.

Combine that with easily the best aerial duels record in Europe, an incredible 9.3 headers won per match – the next best is Hannover’s Joselu with eight – and it suddenly becomes very difficult to spot a weakness in the Hammers front-man’s game. Are we finally seeing the striker Kenny Dalglish and Sam Allardyce saw fit to pay a combined £50million for? Is Carroll verging upon world-beater territory?
Well, the answer will surely lay in his form between now and May-time, and perhaps more importantly, whether or not Carroll can stay fit for so long. If the West Ham striker has always been a worldly prospect disguised in the body of a cumbersome, 6 foot 4, gypsy fashionista, its his injury record that’s prevented the exposure of such potential.
Nevertheless, at 26 years of age, perhaps it’s finally all clicking to place for a front-man verging upon his footballing peak. I’m not suggesting the spirit of Diego Maradona possessing the body of the Geordie giant, but if you’ve always been anti-Carroll snob, then watch this space between now and the end of the season. You might just be pleasantly surprised.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas could be made to dip into the January transfer market after Emmanuel Adebayor’s Togo about-face, leaving Spurs with one out-and-out striker till mid-February.
Adebayor has decided to fulfil his international duties with Togo and will now attend the African Cup of Nations in South Africa, missing up to six games for the North London club.
The player initially voiced his concerns over team security and unpaid bonuses. His fears for team security during the competition comes after being greatly affected by the team bus attack on 8 January 2010, leaving three dead and nine injured. It was also reported that Adebayor and his teammates had recently seen bonuses, which were owed to them for international duty, unpaid.
Coincidentally, news of Adebayor’s change of heart comes on the anniversary of the gun attack that occurred in the Cabinda Province, Angola.
After speaking with the country’s President – Faure Gnassingbe – the player has changed his mind.
Head of the Togo Football Federation Ameyi Gabriel said that “Of course we’re in the Africa Nations Cup with Adebayor, we will be together in South Africa.”
“It is very important to have him there because he is our player and captain of the team,” continued Gabriel.
Although the player looks set to miss six games, Spurs are counting on his availability for their Premier League game against QPR on Saturday afternoon.

Meanwhile, Spurs have yet again been linked with a move for Brazil international and Internacional forward Leandro Damiao.
