Lucas Moura expressed his excitement to play in the Champions League with Tottenham, but warned the upcoming campaign could be his last with the Premier League side.
Moura joined Spurs from Paris Saint-Germain in 2018 on a five-year contract, which is due to expire next June.
The 29-year-old appeared 34 times in the 2021-22 Premier League term, scoring two goals and assisting six, while creating 34 chances as Tottenham secured Champions League qualification.
Brazil compatriots Richarlison and Raphinha have been linked as Antonio Conte looks to bolster his squad to compete in Europe, with Fraser Forster, Ivan Perisic and Yves Bissouma already signed.
Moura also has to compete with the likes of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski for a starting …
Italy ended their 53-year wait for a second European Championship crown with victory over England in the Euro 2020 final at Wembley.
Leonardo Bonucci cancelled out an early Luke Shaw goal to take the game to extra time and then penalties, which the Azzurri edged 3-2 to inflict heartbreak on hosts England.
Italy s triumph was deserved on the basis of the qualifying campaign and the tournament itself; Roberto Mancini s side have now gone 34 games unbeaten in all competitions.
England can also be proud of their run, and it is perhaps no surprise that the two finalists dominate Stats Perform s best XI of the tournament.
Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo is also included in our Opta data-driven side, along with players from Switzerland, Spain, the Netherland…
Chris Samba could make his QPR debut in their crucial home game against Norwich on Saturday
This weekend’s Premier League programme kick-offs on Saturday lunchtime at Loftus Road, where rock-bottom QPR host Norwich.
Rangers were one of the busiest clubs on transfer deadline day, bringing in Christopher Samba, Jermaine Jenas and Andros Townsend to reinforce their squad.
The Hoops are in desperate need of points, as they are now four points away from Premier League safety.
The visitors are just seven points clear of the relegation zone, after a run of seven games without a top flight victory. The Canaries will be hoping that run ends at Loftus Road.
The late kick-off sees Manchester United visiting Fulham’s Craven Cottage. The league leaders ha…
Since Jurgen Klopp announced his departure from Liverpool at the end of the season, there s been plenty of talk about his team giving him the best possible send-off after a glorious nine-year spell. They got off to a fine start on Sunday, beating Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final to claim the first of the four trophies they ve been competing for this season.
Despite a very lively contest with plenty of chances at both ends of the pitch, the regular 90 minutes (plus stoppage time) ended goalless. But three minutes before the end of the second extra-time period, Virgil van Dijk headed a Kostas Tsimikas corner past a very good Djordje Petrovic in the Chelsea goal to settle the affair.
The game
The contest was an extremely dynamic one, with plenty of desire from both sides …

Before we get to the weight of the final slate of the NFL season, we have one last Monday Night Football matchup in Week 17.
The Cleveland Browns come to Heinz Field to take on the rival Pittsburgh Steelers – an AFC North grudge match that means very little to the postseason picture but is packed with pride and perhaps a proper Steel City send-off for Ben Roethlisberger.
Still not sold?
Well, how about piquing that interest by playing some Monday Night Football props. There’s a massive menu of alternative odds and options, and these are our favorite free NFL prop picks for Browns at Steelers on January 3.

We’re in the end game people. Christmas is less than a week away and if you haven’t started your shopping yet, get ready for some L’s on December 25.
The same can be said about betting NFL odds for a festive Week 16. If you want Xmas bliss at the book this holiday weekend, you’d better start shopping the opening spreads and totals now. That said, you can sometimes get a great last-minute deal after the crowds have cleared.
I look at the NFL Week 16 odds and tell you which sides and totals to bet now and which ones you may want to wait until later to wager.

The New Orleans Saints head to Foxborough on Sunday to try and jump-start an offense that has scored just three touchdowns over 16 quarters. The England Patriots sit as a slight favorite in NFL odds with a total of 40 in a game trending towards Mac Jones and Derek Carr both starting.
With a stumbling offense, a banged-up Carr, and some possible poor passing conditions, is there any reason to back the Saints offense, especially when the Pats brought in JC Jackson to replace an injured Christian Gonzalez?
Here are my free NFL picks for Week 5 odds between the Saints and Patriots.

The Detroit Lions, fresh off an NFC North clinching win, head to Dallas to take on a Cowboys team looking to end a two-game losing streak.
Will this be a letdown spot for the Lions? Or will they rise to the occasion and hand the Cowboys a third consecutive loss and have them limp into the postseason?
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game… did you know that you can also live stream Lions/Cowboys directly from legal sports betting sites?
