Son Heung-min leads Tottenham past Leicester to bolster top-four bid (The Guardian)

Tottenham beat Leicester 3-1 thanks to a goal from Harry Kane and a brace from Son, climbing back up to fourth in the Premier League.

Nothing looked on when Kulusevki rolled the ball back to Son on the edge of the penalty area but a curling shot that dipped just below the crossbar gave Schmeichel no chance and left Leicester with a mountain to climb. The last time these sides met in January, two stoppage-time goals from Steven Bergwijn snatched a dramatic victory for Tottenham that Conte said “highlighted the spirit and commitment” of his players. “It’s a very important result because there is a lot of pressure at this stage of the season.

Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea fixtures compared as top-four race ... (Mirror.co.uk)

Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur all have four Premier League matches remaining this season and the trio of London clubs are battling it out for third ...

That trio of games comes after a meeting with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. However, they do have the disadvantage of playing in the FA Cup final against Liverpool at Wembley Stadium in the middle of their quartet of final league games. With four games left, it appears to be a three-team race for fourth place between the London trio to clinch third and fourth. And a slip-up for defending Champions League holders Chelsea could potentially affect their chances of qualifying for the competition next season.

Son double as Tottenham beats Leicester 3-1 in push for CL (The Washington Post)

Son Heung-min's double after Harry Kane's header gave Tottenham a 3-1 victory over Leicester in the Premier League.

Leicester scored a consolation in stoppage time when Kelechi Iheanacho sent a low shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the area. Son’s second came after he picked up the ball on the right, cut inside and curled a shot high into the net. Son provided Tottenham’s opener in the 22nd minute by delivering a corner for the unmarked Harry Kane to head into the bottom corner to end a five-game goalless run.

Tottenham 3-1 Leicester: Spurs boost Champions League hopes ... (Eurosport.com)

Tottenham threw down the gauntlet to Arsenal in the race for fourth place with a, belatedly, comfortable 3-1 win over Leicester City at Tottenham Hotspur ...

Leicester City turned over possession in their own half 12 times against Spurs - double the tally of their opposition- and 30 times overall. Tottenham had 13 shots against Leicester, 10 from inside the box, after two consecutive matches without a single shot on target. Son got the assist for Kane’s opener from a corner, found time in the Leicester box to spin and finish for the crucial second goal and then added a magnificent strike late to seal victory. Heung-Min Son delivered the three points with moments of absolute genius and looks to have found the form which had deserted him in recent weeks. Kulusevski now has eight assists and three goals in 14 appearances since joining in January and must be making a late run for Young Player of the Year. Substitutes: Kulusevski 8, Winks N/A, Bergwijn N/A

Fabio Paratici's £42.5m transfer agreement that has set Tottenham ... (Football.London)

Cristian Romero delivered another masterclass in defence as Tottenham beat Leicester City 3-1 on Sunday afternoon.

Paratici pulled off a transfer masterclass convincing the player that Spurs was the place for him to be despite their lack of Champions League football and the deal is only going to benefit the club for years to come. There was no problem with the tackle," he said in his post-match press conference. "I had a problem with us not winning the tackle. Selling Eric Dier short with a pass inside his own box, he needed his teammate to react quickly and clear the ball away from danger before it was intercepted in such a good position. His biggest contribution came on the hour mark as he played a major role in Son Heung-min's first of the game. Signed on a season-long loan deal from Atalanta with an option - not obligation - to buy for £42.5million, the Lilywhites will complete the permanent signing this summer.

Arsenal backed to capitulate under Tottenham pressure as O'Hara ... (Daily Express)

JAMIE O'HARA has a clear favourite for the top four amid claims that Arsenal will blow three of their final four Premier League matches.

Newcastle are still in the bottom half but have seen a dramatic upturn in form since Eddie Howe's reign hit top gear, and Everton could go into the final day fighting for their Premier League survival having last been relegated in 1951. Ex- Tottenham player Jamie O'Hara has tipped Arsenal to crumble under the top-four pressure by winning just one of their final four Premier League games this season. As it stands, the Gunners are two points ahead in the table with four matches to go.

Steven Bergwijn signals willingness to leave Tottenham this summer (Cartilage Free Captain)

Steven Bergwijn sounds frustrated. You can't really blame him. Signed in January 2020 under Jose Mourinho, he scored an incredible goal against Manchester ...

He is a striker, a fantastic striker, but in this position, there is Harry and then Sonny. Deki gives us quality and quantity, and sometimes it’s very difficult. In his post-match press conference after Tottenham’s 3-1 win over Leicester this weekend, Conte was asked about Bergwijn, likely due to Stevie’s comments to the Dutch press, and the Italian admitted that Bergwijn isn’t being fully utilized. Bergwijn needs consistent minutes for a variety of reasons, but none more than that it’s the best way for him to ensure a spot in the Netherlands’ World Cup squad this coming winter. In the summer we really have to look for a solution”. Denmark and Germany in March. Ajax showed an inordinate amount of interest in signing Bergwijn this past January, but Spurs were reluctant to sell him at that time. “A place in the starting line-up?

'Difficult': Conte admits he isn't always fair to £27m Tottenham player (HITC)

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte has told Football.London that he is not always fair to Steven Bergwijn, who does not start regularly.

“For sure maybe I’m giving [Steven] less than he deserves, and I want to be honest. Conte said about Bergwijn to Football.London: “For me, it’s a bit difficult to keep him on the bench because Steven is maybe the player he should deserve more, but we have to try always a good balance. Conte has said that Tottenham winger Bergwijn deserves to play more, but he has so many other options in attack that the £27 million winger ( BBC Sport) does not start regularly.

Tottenham: Antonio Conte facing 'worry' over £18m star at Hotspur ... (GiveMeSport)

Oliver Skipp's injury situation has proved a “worry” for Tottenham, according to Daily Star journalist Paul Brown.

I think they were hoping to have him back, Conte never seemed confident, but there was a window a few weeks ago where Skipp looked like he might be able to return before the end of the season. However, the emergence of Skipp has definitely been a massive positive for Conte, who appears to have an extremely talented midfielder on his hands. His most recent outing came in the Premier League defeat at Chelsea in January, and while Conte was hopeful of Skipp making a return before the campaign finishes, Tottenham recently confirmed that he’s undergone surgery on a pubis issue in America and will return in pre-season.

Tottenham Hotspur: Journalist reacts to behind-the-scenes 'doubts ... (The Transfer Tavern)

Journalist Pete O'Rourke believes that the uncertainty of Antonio Conte's future could make potential Tottenham transfer targets think twice about joining ...

It’s already been reported that the boss is looking at signing six new players during the upcoming transfer window in a bid to rebuild his squad, but that could prove to be a difficult task if the future Spurs stars don’t know who they will be working under. When asked about how he thinks Tottenham’s transfer business will play out, O’Rourke told GiveMeSport: “Obviously, it’s not great to attract players if there are doubts over the manager’s long-term future, because players want to know that they will be playing under this manager, if he wants to sign them. As a result of this, O’Rourke has suggested that players will feel hesitant in being able to commit to moves if it’s unknown whether Conte will be there ahead of the start of the new campaign, but still expects people behind-the-scenes to be focusing on capturing their targets regardless of the managerial situation.

Dane Scarlett's Tottenham fate next season revealed as Alfie Devine ... (Football.London)

Here are our talking points from Spurs' 0-0 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday afternoon.

His arrival from Wigan only two years ago made it difficult to involve him in the young Europa Conference League squads early this season as he could not be registered on the B list of young club players. However, when Spurs jettisoned three central midfielders in January so he returned and Conte decided that the recalled Bowden would help to supplement the squad. All the while he was talking to everyone around him, telling the full-backs to push up or hold back and carefully watching how the match was playing out. The key for Scarlett as he learns off the likes of Harry Kane and Son will be learning how to impact matches when he's not seeing enough of the ball. Next season Tottenham are expecting to receive more approaches from Championship clubs, although a move to League One might suit the young player better at this age. Physically you can see Scarlett has bulked up with his exposure week in, week out to first team training and working with Conte's fitness staff.

Tottenham: £30m star could make 'shock exit' from Hotspur Way (GiveMeSport)

Tottenham Hotspur ace Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg could be allowed to seal a 'shock' exit as he has become 'less important' in Antonio Conte's system, ...

Cashing in on Hojbjerg – who is valued at £36million by Transfermarkt – could also increase the Italian’s summer budget and alter the plans he is making at Hotspur Way, so it may make sense to sanction the Dane’s departure. However, the journalist also feels Hojbjerg is no longer a key component of Conte’s plans in north London, meaning there is a possibility that he could be among the big names to leave Spurs in the coming months. Brown believes it would come as a surprise to many if Hojbjerg were to leave Tottenham in the summer.

Gold: Tottenham's Devine, Scarlett set for loan next season (Cartilage Free Captain)

According to Alasdair Gold in Football.London, the club will look to send striker Dane Scarlett and midfielder Alfie Devine for first team experience next ...

Gold notes that both players were purposefully kept around the Spurs development setup the past couple of seasons in order to get them used to first team training at Hotspur Way, but that Scarlett and Devine would benefit from regular first team football to continue their development next season. Loans for Scarlett and Devine imply not only that they’re ready for that next step, but also that the club still thinks that they could turn into very good footballers at some level. Scarlett is quite possibly the developmental striker with the most hype right now, and that list includes Troy Parrott. Scarlett first came to the attention of Spurs fans when he was praised by then-manager Jose Mourinho, and even got some first team minutes during Mou’s tenure.
