Brad Friedel

Veteran goalkeeper Brad Friedel has announced that he will quit football at the end of the campaign.

Tottenham have successfully negotiated a friendly against the MLS All-Stars team as part of the upcoming pre-season tour.

There is an ongoing goal-keeper problem which is occurring in Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea as Thibaut Courtois has proven week after week why he deserves to be the number 1 shot-stopper of the Premier League club but this leaves PetrCech with no place in Stamford Bridge and the player from Czech Republic is expected to be reaching his last few months with Chelsea.

Real Madrid has locked their eyes on Tottenham Hotspur’s Hugo Lloris as the French goalkeeper can be the successor of IkerCasillas or at least that’s what rumors are suggesting.

David de Gea originally was the initial target of Real Madrid but the Spanish shot-stopper is reluctant on leaving Manchester United and now Carlo Ancelotti is searching on the transfer market for a possible player that can join Real Madrid and turn into the undisputed goalkeeper for the Spanish goalkeeper after IkerCasillas decides to retire.

Tottenham goalkeeper Brad Friedel has given an outstanding vote of confidence to striker Harry Kane by calling him as one of the best players he has played with.

This comes as a major plaudits for the young England under 21 international, who has come through the ranks at the club. Friedel has played with some of the best players in the world during his time at the likes of Everton and Tottenham. He is also one of the experienced goalkeepers at international level after having represented the USA in close to 100 appearances before retiring in 2005.

Leicester City’s defensive weakness was evident during their 2-0 defeat against Crystal Palace as the team of Nigel Pearson conceded 2 goals from set-pieces within the time lapse of 3 minutes. Even though Leicester City lost the match, the manager of the squad Nigel Pearson remains hopeful about his squad as he is starting to witness some of the areas of the team where they are losing more points and causing defeats as well as identifying some of the strengths of the squad.

Tottenham goalkeeper Brad Friedel says that he expects the club to play in an attacking style under the new manager Mauricio Pochettino. The former Southampton man was appointed as the replacement for Tim Sherwood, was sacked at the end of last season. Friedel may no longer be first choice at Tottenham due to their impressive form of Hugo Lloris, but the former Blackburn goalkeeper will be providing a good reserve option for the manager. Pochettino comes to Tottenham on the reputation of one season at Southampton.

Bojan Krkic is believed to be number second in the list of the strikers that the Arsenal management has on its radar this summer.

The Gunners’ priority at the moment is Alexis Sanchez of Chile, but, they are not certain to be successful in grabbing that deal. They are in competition with a couple of other big clubs for the player. So, they have kept Krkic as another option.

Tottenham Hotspur have retained the services of veteran goalkeeper Brad Friedel by signing him on to a new one year contract extension as well as handing him an ambassadorial role at the club which will see him promote Spurs in his homeland at the United States of America.

The former United States National Men’s Team or USMNT goalkeeper was out of contract in the summer but Spurs have decided to retain his services by a further one year as back up for Frenchman Hugo Lloris.

Tottenham goalkeeper Brad Friedel has stated that outgoing manager Tim Sherwood can be proud of his achievements within the club. Sherwood was sacked from the managerial role after failing to get the club into the top four of the Premier league. However, he leaves the club with the best record ever from Tottenham manager with a win rate of more than 50%. Sherwood did a great job to stabilise the club after they had just parted company with Andre Villas-Boas midway through the season.
