Leeds United’s highly-rated 16-year-old striker Oliver Boast is set to join Tottenham Hotspur. Boast, one of Leeds’ prized academy assets, has chosen to continue his development with the north London club. The player’s decision to move south meant Leeds could either negotiate a fee with Tottenham or allow a tribunal to decide compensation. They went with the former and sources, speaking on the condition of anonymity, indicated a seven-figure sum has been agreed for Boast’s switch.

Most Premier League fans won’t have heard of Kota Takai until this transfer window. But the 20-year-old, who is set to join Tottenham Hotspur from Japanese side Kawasaki Frontale for a J1 League record £5million ($6.8m, 1billion Japanese yen), has quickly developed into a star in his home country.

The 28-year-old centre-back, who had one year remaining on his contract at Anfield, had attracted interest from several Championship clubs following a productive loan spell at Derby County last season. However, new West Brom head coach Ryan Mason has won the race to secure his services.

Lucas Bergvall may be the Premier League’s best teenager. A year on from joining Tottenham Hotspur from Djurgarden in his native Sweden for £8.5million ($10.8m), his reputation has increased to such a degree that should Spurs inconceivably consider moving him on, they could justifiably demand a tenfold increase.

Benfica recorded their first win of the Club World Cup on Friday, beating Auckland City 6-0 in Orlando. But it wasn’t an entirely comfortable ride for the Portuguese side. Auckland, who were beaten 10-0 by Bayern Munich in their first game of the tournament, were much improved on their second outing, frustrating Benfica with a solid defensive structure and an inspired performance from goalkeeper Nathan Garrow.

Spent a few hours watching footage of Bryan Mbeumo and Brentford to see if there’s anything we can learn about how Thomas Frank might try to develop Mathys Tel. My conclusion: I think there’s a lot to be excited about! #THFC https://t.co/H22eUnbZtU
Must say I've actually been pleasantly surprised by the general quality of DAZN's Club World Cup coverage (not great, but better than expected), but these Temu-like pop-ups are genuinely doing my head in
Frank impressive as always but I thought the “if you don’t take risks, you also take risks” was 1) a cool line and 2) potentially reflective of his plan to evolve his more pragmatic style at Brentford to something more expansive at Spurs
