But in order to get the best out of yourself, you have to play where you can feel most comfortable and do what you can do best.” He was always a good guy, a good man, on the pitch and off the pitch. It would be a multi-purpose home for the club. Callum Hudson-Odoi left Chelsea to join Bayer Leverkusen on loan over the summer. The project would have cost €2.5 billion apparently. Should Tottenham win, it would provide a substantial blow to Liverpool's season and their hopes of the top four. The book claims that Perez considered moving the storied Liga club from the Santiago Bernabeu to a new abode. The real test of the death of 'Spursy-ness' comes over the weekend, though. On the balance of probabilities, Tottenham just made Liverpool's Champions League campaign infinitely harder. Spurs have been less Spursy in recent years, increasingly becoming a force in the Premier League and Champions League, but still for the majority of the time playing the Spurs way. Now, there is a caveat to add here: Real Madrid and PSG currently are [yet to be confirmed](https://www.eurosport.com/tennis/wta-finals/2022/iga-swiatek-s-thanks-to-ons-jabeur-and-coco-gauff-s-plan-to-bounce-back-from-loss-wta-finals-diary_sto9210888/story.shtml)as group winners, but sit top of Group F and H, facing matches against Celtic and Juventus, respectively. This means that Liverpool - who finished second behind Napoli in [Group A](https://www.eurosport.co.uk/football/champions-league/standings.shtml)- now face the unenviable task of potentially playing Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Porto or PSG in the round of 16.

Tottenham and Barcelona could go head to head for N'Golo Kante's signature next summer.

That's set to keep him out of action until February next year, preventing him from turning out at the World Cup this month. Spurs already have an established midfield duo in Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur, with the likes of Oliver Skipp and Yves Bissouma waiting in the wings to take their places. Affording his wages may be a tough one for Spurs but acquiring a player of such pedigree for free is an opportunity that doesn't come around often. Kante will fall into that category when the transfer window swings open on January 1, meaning Spurs would be forced to watch on helplessly if Barca manage to lay a tempting offer on the table. The Lilywhites may have to fend off rival interest from [Barcelona](/latest/barcelona-fc), however, with Kante approaching the end of his contract at Stamford Bridge. Foreign clubs are at liberty to negotiate pre-contract arrangements with players entering the final six months of their deals.

But he is even more vital to South Korea. Tottenham said in a statement: “We can confirm that Heung-Min Son will undergo surgery to stabilise a fracture around his left eye. Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min will have surgery on a facial injury sustained in the club’s Champions League victory over Marseille on Tuesday, placing his participation at the 2022 World Cup with South Korea at risk.

But he was a strong outlet, getting his team up the pitch, linking the play with lovely passes and driving into the box. “It was really important [to reach the last 16] just before the World Cup,” he said. Kane was brilliant in the second half against Marseille, even though he knew he should have put away one of his chances. The problem has been an inability to balance caution with risk and Spurs found it particularly difficult on a wild night in Marseille when they knew that a draw would have been enough to qualify, most likely as runners-up. Kane talked about how there was no panic at half-time, partly because the team had been there before and more frequently than they would like. Are Spurs lulling opponents into a false sense of security, luring them in to punch themselves out? Harry Kane put it as the pros tend to put it: heavy on understatement, a disappointing lack of drama. In the second half, we went man-for-man and took a bit more risk. Because yet again, for the sixth game in a row, Spurs had not turned up in the first half. The game swung when Clément Lenglet glanced in Ivan Perisic’s 54th-minute free-kick, and despite a couple of late scares Spurs were value for their win and progress as group leaders, which was secured by Pierre-Emile Højbjerg’s last-gasp breakaway goal. “We’ve got to find a balance between dropping and pressing.
