Tottenham star Harry Kane is using his World Cup success to inspire him to winning the Premier League Golden Boot once again.

Kane has scored in three consecutive league games to move onto nine goals, just one behind top scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The 25-year-old won back-to-back Premier League Golden Boots in 2015-16 and 2016-17, while Kane also top scored at the World Cup.

Kane said showcasing he could deliver for England in Russia gave him confidence to get through tough spells at Spurs.

When you ve done it on the biggest stage of them all, the World Cup, you can look back and gain confidence from that, he told UK newspapers.

If you re going through a spell where you re not scoring, a couple of games here and there, you know you can do…

Brazil international Lucas Moura has joined Tottenham from Paris Saint-Germain in a deal thought to be worth £25million, the Premier League club have confirmed. 

Lucas became PSG s record signing when he arrived from Sao Paulo in January 2013 for €45m (£38m), but fell out of favour under Unai Emery and has now signed for Spurs until 2023.

The 25-year-old winger won four Ligue 1 titles and as many Coupe de la Ligue trophies, while also triumphing in the Coupe de France three times.

Speaking to Spurs TV, he said: It s a new chapter of my life, a new challenge for me.

I can play in the Champions League, it s a big objective for me. Everything is perfect and I m sure that we will do big things together.

We can win a lot of things and why no…

Arsenal have loaned defender William Saliba to Marseille for the duration of the 2021-22 campaign.

The 20-year-old has yet to make a competitive appearance for the Gunners since being signed for a reported £27million (€29.7m) in July 2019.

Saliba was loaned straight back to Saint-Etienne and spent the second half of last season with Nice after being left out of Arsenal s Premier League and Europa League squads.

He will now return to Ligue 1 for another spell after Marseille reached an agreement with Arsenal over a season-long loan.

Following confirmation of the deal on Thursday, Arsenal technical director Edu told the club s official website: Together with William, we have decided it will be good for his continued development to spend another season on…

Abdulla Yusuf Helal was hailed as an inspiration for other Bahrain internationals to follow by head coach Miroslav Soukup, who hopes to have the forward fit for his side s second game of the 2019 Asian Cup against Thailand.

Yusuf scored five goals in 10 appearances for Bohemians 1905 in the Czech Liga to earn himself a transfer to league leaders Slavia Prague before linking up with the Bahrain squad in the United Arab Emirates.

Former Czech Republic Under-20 boss Soukup said Yusuf s achievements in European football should stand as an example to his team-mates.

His story inspires others, Soukup told iSport.

We [Bahrain] went to the Czech Republic every year and the players were able to get to know our conditions. Even Yusuf knew exactly what he was …

Antoine Griezmann is fixated on winning the Ballon d Or because he believes it would fulfil his dream of ranking among Atletico Madrid s all-time greats.

World Cup winner Griezmann is part of a star-studded 30-man shortlist vying for the coveted individual prize.

The 27-year-old has made no secret of his hope to improve on the third-place finish he managed in 2016 and believes he has done enough to break the decade-long duopoly of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Griezmann, who starred on the way to Europa League glory last season, views the France Football honour as a sure-fire way to cement his Atleti legacy.

To win the Ballon d Or at Atletico Madrid would allow me to go down in the club s history, Griezmann told Marca.

Being a historic pla…

Market: Paysandu draw no bet

Odds: 4/7 @

Two sides who are looking to drag themselves away from a potential Serie B relegation scrap, Paysandu will welcome CRB to the Estadio da Curuzu in the early hours of Wednesday.

Starting with the hosts, while Paysandu might have a real battle on their hands to keep hold of their Serie B status this season, the Wolfs will take plenty of positives away from what has become a recent flurry. Last seen over the weekend putting in a stellar performance as they secured an action-packed 5-3 victory away at Ituano, Heilo dos Anjos’ men should find the mood in their camp at a real high. Dragging themselves out of the relegation zone, the Belem-based outfit will certainly be smelling the chance to make another statement here. Makin…

Regardless of what occurs on the pitch at the Stade de France on Saturday, the 2021-22 season will have been a good one for Real Madrid.

Even if they are ultimately left with only the Spanish top-flight title to show for their efforts, there s an argument to be made that Carlo Ancelotti has defied expectations in his first campaign back at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Given the important losses of Raphael Varane and Sergio Ramos coupled with the fact only two new players were incoming, it would ve been understandable if fans were less demanding than usual in their pre-season predictions.

After all, Ancelotti was seen as a safe pair of hands rather than someone who was going to come in, shake things up and preside over a philosophical overhaul – and looking back ove…

Casemiro felt Real Madrid showed their LaLiga title credentials in a 1-0 victory at Real Betis.

Fit-again full-back Dani Carvajal scored his first goal since November 2019 on his return to the starting line-up with a stunning second-half volley to put Los Blancos joint-top of the table.

Betis had their chances in a feisty encounter on Saturday, but Madrid stretched their unbeaten run to 21 matches in the Spanish top flight.

Midfielder Casemiro believes the way Madrid rolled up their sleeves to secure all three points – and a first clean sheet of the season – bodes well in their quest to regain the title.

This is the way to win titles, we are working well, Casemiro said. The key has been the work of everyone, of those who have also arrived [at the c…

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is disinterested in suggestions Mario Balotelli is crazy , he just wants to see the striker perform.

Gerrard leads his team against Ludogorets on Tuesday as Liverpool make their UEFA Champions League return.

Without Luis Suarez, Brendan Rodgers men have made an indifferent start to the season as they wait for their new signings to settle in.

One of those signings – Balotelli – is searching for his first Liverpool goal and Gerrard said the squad were behind the enigmatic Italian.

If we get the best out of him, we have got him. If people want to write stories about him and say that he is crazy or he is a nutter, let them, but he is one of us now, Gerrard told The Daily Mail.

We have welcomed him into this clubs…
