Every modern Tottenham Hotspur midfielder is likely to be measured against Mousa Dembele, the Belgian having been such a force at the heart of Mauricio Pochettino’s beloved side. The ‘Player’s Player’, he was everything a central midfielder should be. A powerhouse presence, yet with the guile and grace to be able to glide his way up the pitch with ease, such a sight in full flow. In the wake of his exit in 2019, there have been far too many who have underwhelmed in that role, be it Tanguy Ndombele, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg or Yves Bissouma, among others. Hope rests on…

The couch admission reinforces the criticism rather than answering it. Knyba Can Make Ruiz Look His Age Knyba lacks elite credentials, but his six-foot-seven frame and 86-inch reach present an awkward test for a short heavyweight returning from more than two years away. A persistent jab, movement, and clinching can prevent Ruiz from reaching the inside, where his hand speed carries the most value. The former champion should win, particularly because Kabayel exposed Knyba’s difficulty handling sustained pressure. The question is how long Ruiz needs to find his range and how many punches he can produce once the fight extends…
