    Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe on his message after winning the first leg against Arsenal 2-0: "I think my message is we're at the halfway point, the away game was a good performance from us but against any opposition, the game is still alive. You then add the quality of Arsenal, we have to be on our guard.

    "We have to try and be positive and aggressive, there will be no deviation from that. We have to engage the crowd and try and make the most of every opportunity."

    Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe on the squad he has: "From my side, we want a competitive team on the pitch. Everyone wants it the same away. With Callum (Wilson) coming back, Harvey (Barnes) and Jamal (Lascelles) still out. We don't have loads of injuries but managing that squad is important."

    Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe on the January transfer window: "I said right at the start it was not a case of looking at incomings, a case of trying to manage outgoings and not weaken the squad too much that it would be affected.

    "We've managed PSR and we've done that. The two sales achieve that. The squad is lighter but full of quality. We can still achieve success."

  6. 'Very reluctant' to sanction Kelly's Juventus movepublished at 09:46 Greenwich Mean Time

    Newcastle United

    Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe on Lloyd Kelly's exit to Juventus: "I don't think it was necessarily my decision to let him leave, very reluctant from our side. Lloyd is a player we just signed, we believe in his qualities. Slightly frustrating he didn't play more, but that's perhaps been down to the form of others. We've had to try and manage PSR and make decisions that benefit us, this is one of those. An exciting opportunity for him."

  9. Spurs 'need all the help they can get'published at 09:40 Greenwich Mean Time

    They need all the help they can get, right? The way Ange plays, he plays high intensity, they need the bodies, they need the competitiveness to take the pressure off Son a little bit at times as well, I feel it's pressure on him being the main man, away from Kane so I think it might just help him.

  11. Tel - 'Everything was positive from Harry Kane'published at 09:37 Greenwich Mean Time

    It's been said that Ange Postecoglou was key in bringing Mathys Tel to Tottenham but their new signing says Harry Kane was also influential.

    Tel told Spurs' official channels: "He told me this is a big club with a lot of very good people.

    "[He said] the pitch is very nice, the training centre is very good and if you go there you will enjoy it.

    "Yes, everything was positive from [Harry] Kane."

  14. 'One of the most highly-rated players of his generation'published at 09:30 Greenwich Mean Time

    Julien Laurens
    European football expert on The Football News Show

    European football expert Julien Laurens talking to The Football News Show about Tottenham's signing of Mathys Tel:

    I think Spurs fans should be very excited because he's a wonderful talent.

    One of the most highly-rated players of his generation.

    He's only 19 so he's still a very young player, but in terms of pure talent; his pace, the technical skill that he has, as a striker, as a second-striker - probably his two best positions but I think he can also play a bit wider.

    A wonderful signing on a loan so Spurs don't really invest that much in him and then you'll see in the summer if the loan has been successful. There is an option to buy and he can become a permanent player.

  16. 'Tottenham leave it late again'published at 09:24 Greenwich Mean Time

    Tottenham, who have struggled in recent months with a number of injury issues, did sign four players, although two of which came in the final 48 hours of the window.

    Centre-back Kevin Danso and winger Mathys Tel both arrived on loan from Lens and Bayern Munich respectively prior to the window closing.

    Paul MacDonald from FootballTransfers.com said: "Tottenham got some business over the line, but again in true Levy style, leaving it late to try and strike deals. It's just not as possible to do that with other Premier League teams mid-season as maybe it once was, as he found out with the Marc Guehi bid.

    "Worth noting that Spurs have now spent around £370m since Ange joined in the summer of 2023. Granted, he raised £100m instantly from the sale of Harry Kane, but that's roughly on a par with Man Utd for the same period and second only to Chelsea in the Premier League."
