Tottenham Hotspur fans have been left concerned by the future of left-back Danny Rose, who has confirmed that his final game for the club could come in the Champions League final, per The Guardian.

The full-back faces an uncertain summer, with Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino set to revamp his squad in the summer transfer window.

The former Leeds United star says that he has continually seen his own name linked with an exit and that he is desperate to go out with a bang if he is to depart.

He said: “I keep seeing my name that I’m being sold, so if that’s the case and it’s going to be my last game for Tottenham against Liverpool, I’m hoping to go out with a bang and lift a trophy.

“It’s a Champions League final so individual situations have to take a back seat and you have to put the club first. We are going to do that. We do realise we have a chance to make history.”

Spurs face Liverpool in the final in Madrid on June 1, having overcome Ajax in the most dramatic of circumstances on Wednesday evening. Lucas Moura scored a hat-trick, with his third goal coming in the final minute of injury-time.

The Reds, meanwhile, beat Barcelona 4-3 on aggregate and Spurs fans are clearly concerned about the prospect of the England international leaving this summer.

Take a look at the best of the reaction below!

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing for a Champions League Final showdown with Premier League runners-up Liverpool, but it is in the transfer market where Chairman Daniel Levy has the chance to delight the Spurs fanbase.

The Sun have claimed that the North London outfit have been offered an opportunity to bring club hero Gareth Bale back to where he made a name for himself, as Real Madrid are desperate to have the Welsh winger off their books.

Bale banks an astonishing £600,000-a-week at the Santiago Bernabeu as part of a contract which runs until 2022, and will see the 75-cap international earn more than £100million even if he never plays another minute in Spain.

Madrid, however, are so keen to see that he leaves this summer, they are willing to loan Bale to Tottenham for just £10million, and even pay £350,000 of his weekly wage.

The La Liga giants re-hiring French icon Zinedine Zidane earlier in the year effectively marked the end for Bale in the Spanish capital, where the 29-year-old is considered public enemy number one and fans regularly boo his name.

Los Blancos’ supporter’s disgust with the former world record signing even saw the left-footed powerhouse receive 90% of the votes in a poll asking who they would like to see President Florentino Perez cash-in on come the summer.

If Perez fails to find a suitor willing to pay what he is after, as the 72-year-old eyes signing Chelsea’s Eden Hazard and Manchester United’s Paul Pogba in the summer, Zidane is thought to be ready to drop Bale from not only the matchday squad, but into Madrid’s Under 23s.

As the potential is there for Levy to bring the Spurs hero back to North London for £10million, plus upwards of £9m in wages, The Sun believe Tottenham’s transfer committee are discussing the feasibility of a move, after ruling out a permanent deal.

Deciding to give Madrid a short reprieve, however, will not be beneficial to Mauricio Pochettino’s plans for next season, even though Bale is a four-time Champions League winner, who has decided Finals in the past.

His arrival back in North London at Tottenham’s new home could fracture the dressing room the Argentine has strived to build, as the Welsh forward would demand regular game time in a desperate bid to prove his worthiness to those in the Spanish capital.

It would effectively be a prolonged pre-season for Bale back in the Premier League, rather than a chance to rekindle the glory days of his time in England, after years of injuries led to the point where he could be training with the Under 23s again next term with no hope of playing first-team minutes.

This season alone saw Bale sit on the sidelines five times at various points of the campaign, after suffering twice with an adductor problem, before two ankle injuries and an issue with his calf.

Celtic right-back Cristian Gamboa is on the verge of a Parkhead exit, with FC Copenhagen his likely destination, according to The Scottish Sun.

What’s the story?

The Costa Rican international’s contract expires at the end of the season and the paper say he is certain not to receive an offer to continue his Celtic Park stay.

The report states he will reject a return to his homeland after being offered a deal by Deportiva Alajuelense, opening the door for a potential switch to Denmark.

Gamboa has managed to make just seven appearances this season for the Hoops, with Celtic signing Jeremy Toljan on loan in January and effectively ending the 29-year-old’s hopes of playing regular matches.

Watch the best fails from the world of indoor football in the video below…

He’s not the only right-back that could leave Celtic Park this summer either, with Mikael Lustig receiving lucrative offers and Toljan heading back to parent club Borussia Dortmund.

Can Anthony Ralston step up?

The jury is out on whether Ralston can be a regular at Celtic, but the departure of players such as Gamboa and Toljan certainly gives him a bit of room to get more appearances under his belt and develop further.

Ralston made his debut aged 17 and his initial appearances at the club drew favourable comparisons to Kieran Tierney, who broke through into the team as a full-back at a similar age.

Since then he’s failed to really kick on and recent performances, like in the recent match against Hearts, haven’t drawn incredible reviews from supporters.

Nonetheless it’s important to remember he is still very young and his contract at Celtic doesn’t expire until 2022, meaning he has plenty of time to make his name in green and white.

There’s absolutely no doubt that the Hoops need to go out and sign a quality right-back this summer, but since they have Ralston they arguably don’t need to buy two.

He may not quite have the talent Tierney has but he has only made 15 career appearances for the club and it’s far too soon to write him off yet. Getting rid of mediocre talent in his position can only be a benefit to him.

Leeds will be headed into the playoff final second leg against Derby without Kemar Roofe after it was revealed a calf problem will cause him to miss the game.

If he is able to return for the final at Wembley he must start, but that isn’t to say Patrick Bamford shouldn’t as well.

Roofe would’ve played

Despite Bamford’s impeccable minutes-to-goals ratio in the Championship this season, Roofe would have been set to retain his starting spot in Wednesday’s game at Elland Road.

The 26-year-old netted in the first leg of the tie, taking his record against Derby County this season to four goals in three games.

Leeds’ top scorer seems to have the Rams’ number this season but injury has seen him ruled out of the second leg, although Bielsa didn’t rule him out of the final.

Start them both in the final

Playoffs often come down to who wants it more, and Bamford has the motivation to get one over the Whites’ potential final opponents Aston Villa.

The former Middlesbrough man was banned for two games after an altercation between Leeds and Villa players, and there may be no better team for Bamford to start against.

Although if Roofe is back from injury he can also be utilised as a number 10, and with Tyler Roberts also out injured there is a spot to fill as an attacking midfielder.

During his last appearance as an attacking midfielder the striker picked up an injury that would see him miss almost six weeks of action, but during Leeds’ 2-1 win against Swansea, the former West Brom man looked like he was enjoying playing in that position.

Bielsa has a great chance to take advantage of Bamford’s extra incentive against Aston Villa whilst not losing Roofe’s influence on the pitch.

It is unknown whether or not Leeds’ number seven will be back for the final but if he is both men should start, with Roofe playing behind Bamford as he did earlier in the season.

The biggest night of them all, the biggest night of any Spurs fans’ life, the greatest achievement, should they overcome what will be an extremely talented Liverpool side. Champions League fever is well and truly here and with the most coveted trophy up for grabs, Mauricio Pochettino knows his side must bring everything they have. 

Indeed, this is the greatest night Tottenham Hotspur and the club’s fans will have ever experienced. You can be sure that most of them can’t even believe that they are at this point, seeing as the last piece of silverware won was way back in 2008! It really is unknown territory for this Spurs side.

So, just how does Pochettino manage to give Jürgen Klopp yet another final defeat? Here’s a couple of decisions we feel the 47-year-old should make to his side in order to lift the biggest trophy in club football.

Harry Kane must start on the bench

He has claimed he’s fit enough to play, but we have seen this from Tottenham’s main man before haven’t we?

After getting injured against Manchester United the 25-year-old was rushed back into the side far too quickly, which in turn then led to further damage, and we now haven’t seen the Englishman, who is currently valued at £135m (by Transfermarkt), since April.

Out since April? Well isn’t that long enough? I can already hear the questions being asked. But do you really want someone who hasn’t been involved in football for three months to start against a strong Liverpool side in the Champions League final?

Start Victor Wanyama 

Having come back into the side over the past few months, we have begun to see the return of the real Victor Wanyama, someone who dominates the midfield and bullies anyone off the ball.

The inclusion of Wanyama will allow Pochettino to move players like Moussa Sissoko and Christian Eriksen a little further up the pitch, something he couldn’t manage to do in their final Premier League game, the 2-2 draw against Everton.

Including Wanyama, who is valued at £22.5 million (by Transfermarkt), could be the tactical edge Spurs need to win a difficult midfield battle.

Leeds are heading into their most important games of the season, and Marcelo Bielsa has to be extremely careful when it comes to team selection.

The Whites have been in an awful run of form as of late, but the Argentine has resisted the urge to make wholesale changes to his starting XI up to this point, and that is expected to continue.

With Patrick Bamford suspended, Kemar Roofe retains his place in the team despite his poor performance against Ipswich.

Another player who had a stinker at Portman Road was Kiko Casilla, but Marcelo Bielsa is likely to stick with the former Real Madrid man for this fixture.

After Marcelo Bielsa confirmed that Tyler Roberts would miss this match, Adam Forshaw retains his place in the midfield.

Pontus Jansson has been ruled a doubt for this game but with the Whites’ lack of depth at centre-back, the Swede may well be risked even if he isn’t 100% fit in what is the most important fixture of their season so far.

An article in the Daily Mail has linked Phil Jagielka with a stunning return to Sheffield United 12 years after he departed the club.

Since leaving Yorkshire, the defender has had an incredibly successful career. He has made over 350 Premier League appearances and earned himself 40 England caps, but now it may be time to give something back to the club where it all began.

His first stint

Jagielka is just as much a hero at Bramall Lane as he is at Goodison Park, and every single Blade would be happy to welcome him back.

He was the standout player in Neil Warnock’s team that was promoted to the Premier League over a decade ago, and his performances in red and white during the 2000s sealed his place as a fan favourite.

Even though Jagielka was 25 when he left United he hadn’t fully matured as a player. Warnock seemingly didn’t know his best position and described him as “The new Patrick Vieira”, while also saying “I can see Jagger eventually taking over from Gary Neville at right-back for England.”

“Finding a Lionel Messi in Sheffield… bit of a tall order!” – Watch Championship fans attempt to name their clubs’ Messi in the video below…

Still got it

The defender turns 37 in August, and many people would say that he isn’t up to scratch as a Premier League defender anymore, but Jagielka still has all the capabilities to prove them wrong.

When he has appeared this season, he has been more than competent at centre-half, and that was never more evident than when Arsenal came to Goodison Park.

The 36-year-old was thrust into the starting XI just minutes before kick-off due to an injury picked up by Michael Keane during the warm-up.

He had the daunting task of facing up against Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, and he dealt with them both as if he were 10 years younger as well as scoring the winning goal.

He can be the leader at the back that any newly promoted team needs, and although he won’t be able to play every minute of the campaign as he did back in 2006/07, he can undoubtedly be a valuable asset for Chris Wilder when he needs to defend a lead late on.

Now that the transfer window is open, Southampton supporters will be expecting their club to go out and sign some new players for the attacking positions.

Out wide and up front are just two areas of Ralph Hasenhuttl’s squad that could do with some strengthening.

Considering that, it is not a surprise to see the Premier League outfit being linked with a host of different strikers, with Haris Seferovic the latest name to pop up.

According to Record (via Sport Witness), Southampton are keen on signing the 27-year-old in a transfer that could be a gamble.

Down the years, Seferovic, who is valued at £12.6m by Transfermarkt, has hardly been a prolific No.9, having often struggled to reach double figures during his time in Germany.

However, having managed to do just that this season, you can understand why Southampton would find it hard to resist making an offer for his services.

Seferovic’s 23 goals for Benfica in the Primeira Liga is exactly the sort of firepower the south coast club need.

It would ease the burden currently on Nathan Redmond’s shoulder and, in the grand scheme of things, help Southampton to move up the table.

With this campaign being the only one where Seferovic has hit that number, again, it is a gamble.

But as the Switzerland international enters his peak, it could be one worth taking.

Southampton fans, do you want to see Seferovic at St. Mary’s next season? Join the discussion by commenting below.
