Thomas O'Connor extends contract with Southampton: https://southamptonfc.com/news/2019-...pton-june-2021
Andrew omibamidele on the bench for Norwich under 23s is a 16 year old centre half they signed from leixlip last summer
Didn't realise he was captain there. That Southampton 17-19 bucket is our new Aston Villa. Aaron O'Driscoll, Ferry, Smallbone, Afolabi, Obafemi and O'Connor. Hopefully at least one more follows Obafemi into the first team.Quote:

2 for Parrott for the under 18 side.
Ali Reghba has scored two goals tonight for the Leicester U23's apparently. He is on trial there from Bohs.
Wow, that's terrific, and on his birthday too! We'll add him to the ever-lengthening list of young strikers to watch.Quote:

There were rumours that Celtic were interested before Christmas, but then they brought in Weah and Bayo, so I guess he'll have to wait a little longer: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...-v-southampton
Meanwhile, Oisin McEntee scored for Newcastle U23s against West Brom: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...le-v-west-brom
Yeah - great news... goals here (he scores from the restart in the clip with the penalty). They were both very nice finishes.

That was McEntee's debut at under 23 too.
Interesting article on McEntee below. Certainly appears to have the right attitude and athleticism. Obviously highly rated as United were coveting him also. Could definitely be one for the future:

Cool head on him.Quote:

What a crappy year for a player who looked to be on a great path before this injury. Hopefully he picks up close to where he left off.

Reghba mooted to be signing for Leicester here. I love how they refer to him as a "Germany-born Algerian" even though he's lived here most of his life. Oh, and isn't his mother Irish?
I saw on Twitter that Aaron Connolly picked up a hamstring injury the other night.
They love deny anyone’s Irishness, see Declan RiceQuote:

Talented young Irish striker on the verge of a breakthrough... of course he's picked up an injuryQuote:

He played two night's before in the youth cup
Sterling gets the nod for bench spot ahead of Parrott today vs Fulham
Llorente is minus 1 on the race to replace Kane. OG already.
I think once Troy turns 17 in two weeks, he’ll get a chance...as long as sterling doesn’t rip things up or they draft in an outside striker
The final of the Asian Cup is on the 1st February, so Son won't be away too much longer, if South Korea even make it that far. They play Bahrain in the last 16 tomorrow. I'd say Parrott's only slight possibility of first team involvement would be the F.A. Cup match against Crystal Palace on Sunday. That might be deemed too tough a fixture to bed in too.

Norwich will probably claim he is French though....
Ouch... what did Vincent Janssen do to upset Pochettino? https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/46839114
Quote:
Fernando Llorente is expected to play in attack for Spurs, who will still not turn to forgotten striker Vincent Janssen despite their current injury problems.
Janssen's last appearance for Spurs was as an 89th-minute replacement against Chelsea in August 2017 and the Dutch striker hasn't played a single game this season.
"I think it's so clear that now it's one year and a half that he's not in our plans," Mauricio Pochettino said.
"He's not in Tottenham's plans. Not in just the manager's plans but the club's plan.
"Eighteen months ago we took the decision for him to try to find a different place to play because for different reasons it didn't work.
"For different reasons that professional relationship isn't working and we need to find a solution. We are trying to find the resolution."
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.Quote:

Quivi Fowler looked to have liked out for Cardiff last week again, this time against Ipswich who had Drinan, Cotter and McLoughlin starting, all of whom could do with getting back into the reckoning at senior level at Ipswich or elsewhere. Unlikely to get opportunities there given the perilous position the club is in.
Son will be back at Spurs earlier than expected as South Korea have lost their quarter final 1-0 to Qatar.
