Rash decision?
Melia isn't the only one on Tottenham's radar, with speculation mounting that Marcus Rashford is heading south.
Rashford, 27, has not played in any of the last six games for Manchester United and appears unwanted by Ruben Amorim.
A move to Tottenham would be a shock.
AC Milan are also interested in the England international.
You'll Never Walk Elon
You won't have missed this if you're a Liverpool fan... Elon Musk reportedly wants to buy the club.
The world's richest man appears to have ripped himself away from X for 10 minutes to become interested enough to buy the Reds.
Musk is worth around $340BILLION.
And his father, Errol, is the one who confirmed the surprising news.
Musk Sr was asked on Times Radio: "Does your son want to buy Liverpool Football Club?"
And Errol replied: "I can’t comment on that, they’ll raise the price!"
"Oh yes, [he has expressed a desire], but that doesn’t mean he’s buying it."
Errol was pushed further and asked if buying the Reds was "in his son's sights".
And Musk Sr didn't hold back, adding: "He would like to yes, obviously. Anybody would want to - so would I."
Will a final save Ange?
Jose Mourinho is living proof that reaching a cup final will not save you as Tottenham manager, writes Tom Barclay.
But how Ange Postecoglou could do with replicating the Portuguese’s showpiece feat to dampen any doubts over his suitability to the Spurs hotseat.
The Aussie has a chance to make up for what he admits is some “very poor league form” in the Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool, with the first leg at home on Wednesday.
If he can somehow find a way past Arne Slot’s imperious Reds over the two ties, he will be the first Spurs boss to reach a cup final since Mourinho four years ago.
That feat did not prevent the Special One from a shock axing just four days before the day out at Wembley, which Tottenham lost to Manchester City.
Unlike with Mourinho back then, chairman Daniel Levy is understood NOT to have lost faith with Postecoglou despite him losing half of his league games this term.
There is a hope that the ex-Celtic chief will turn things around once his horrific injury list eases up.

More on Trent
Slot was asked whether he had spoke to Alexander-Arnold since Sunday and replied: "Yes, but I've spoken to other players individually as well, which you do after almost every other game.
"I spoke to him before the game and then, as I already said to everyone, things I talk to him about I do not share over here [with the media].
"It is normal you talk to players always; in this situation it wasn't his best game, so there were things I had to show which he has to improve.
"That's what you always do after every game. Sometimes you show how well they did, mostly when it comes to work-rate – you don't have to show a brilliant 80-yard pass because that they know.
"Sometimes you have to show them what they can improve, but I did not only do this with Trent.
"We were just talking about Macca and I think if you look at the second goal we conceded with the cut-back cross, if he sprints a bit harder he could prevent the shot from [Amad] Diallo as well.
"So, there are always things you can improve, but in general they've worked really hard and gave everything to get a result.
"Unfortunately, we were unable to get the best result but we still got a result."
Trent under pressure
Superstar defender Trent Alexander-Arnold came in for a lot of criticism for his performance on Sunday against Manchester United.
The right-back, who continues to be linked with a move away from Anfield was torn to shreds by the likes of Roy Keane and other pundits.
Slot was asked about the England star and said: "I think we were all disappointed – not only Trent, we were all disappointed – by the way we played [against Manchester United on Sunday].
"First of all, about the result. Parts of the game we could be quite satisfied with, other parts of our game we weren't completely happy with.
"That was not only Trent, there were more things in the game that we could have done better. Trent didn't play his best game, I've said it already, but that's not for the first time in his life he didn't play the best game of his career.
"He has played so, so, so many games well for this club. Now it wasn't his best – like for some others, it wasn't the best game for some others as well.
We just pick it up and start training again, because these players know if you play 50, 60 games in a season, once in a while you don't have your best performance.
"Maybe we should highlight more how good it is that these players are able to play every three days such a good game.
"And apart from the game maybe not being the best, it was again an eventful game from Liverpool.
"All the games we've played in the last six months – and maybe even longer when Jurgen [Klopp] was here – I got many text messages from people saying, 'What a game again!'
"Unbelievable what happened the last 10 minutes, both teams playing fully for a win. That is also part of our job I think, to make it an eventful game.
"That is what we are trying to do every game, mostly with a result or winning. Now it wasn't enough to win it, but it was definitely an interesting game for everyone to watch."
Getting to know you
Antonin Kinsky is only 21 but could be trusted to start straight away despite the important of the match on Tottenham's season.
And perhaps Ange's future.
Kinsky cost £12.5million and has six Under-21 caps for the Czech Republic - he got his first senior call up in October but didn't play.
He is the son of former pro Antonin Kinsky, who won five international caps and was in squads for Euro 2004 and the 2006 as a backup to Petr Cech.
Kinsky Sr also won the Czech top flight with Slovan Liberec in 2002.
Kinsky Jr spent last season on loan at Pardubice and had been the first choice for Slavia Prague before his exit.
Postecoglu said his lack of experience and age wouldn't be an issue.
Postecoglou said: "He didn’t strike me as somebody who is going to shy away from that kind of opportunity should it come his way.
"That was a big part of bringing him in because potentially we might have to throw him in straight away."
