KIERAN GILL IN SYDNEY: Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi has teased a 'bomba' signing in attack‚ insisting the club's summer business is only '60 per cent' complete despite already breaking their transfer record twice in this window alone. Spurs have spent £237million on signing Sandro Tonali (£100m)‚ Mateus Fernandes (£85m) and Jan Paul van Hecke (£52m). They have also brought in Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi on free transfers after back-to-back 17th-placed finishes in the Premier League. De Zerbi‚ who described himself as a 'shark' in the market‚ is now keen to add to his attack before the next season gets going. Daily Mail Sport understands the 'bomba' referenced by De Zerbi is not believed to refer to Savinho‚ the Manchester City winger who Spurs are also trying to bring in.

LEWIS STEELE IN CHICAGO: When Milos Kerkez signed for Liverpool last summer‚ an old colleague from his days in Hungary told Daily Mail Sport he was 'like a young horse'. Kicking everybody‚ a hive of energy unable to sit still‚ a relentless running - but‚ as former Hungary No 1 Adam Bogdan added at the time‚ it was always obvious this eccentric individual would make it to the top. After spending time with Kerkez in a swanky rooftop bar in Chicago‚ it was hard not to let that verdict pop back to mind.

KIERAN GILL: Sitting in the Stamford Bridge directors' lounge‚ just Xabi Alonso and a few of the Chelsea-dedicated correspondents‚ the talk turned to setting standards after such a substandard season. 'I can't assess the things from the past because I was not here so it would be unfair‚' Alonso told us. 'But what we want is a team with the right mentality‚ the right hunger‚ the right standards and on a daily basis to build on them. That's important. 'I'm not a general‚ but I'm a good professional‚ and I know what it takes to be a good professional. Those are the standards we want for the whole building.'

New evidence - direct from the World Cup stadium spidercam - now proves that Jude Bellingham's controversial first goal against Norway was right to stand after all‚ despite the claims of the Norwegian players. Norway had insisted that a goal kick from their goalkeeper Orjan Nyland struck one of the mid-air cables that supports the overhead spidercam before falling to England's Elliot Anderson‚ who went on to pass to Anthony Gordon to set up Bellingham's goal. That scenario should have seen play stopped and the goal disallowed. But FIFA has reviewed videos from various angles and Daily Mail Sport has seen footage which shows a natural flight path of the ball.

Tunisia's disastrous World Cup campaign was rocked after a number of players - including some who ply their trade in the UK - showed traces of a banned drug in doping tests. Daily Mail Sport understands that no fewer than eight players from the North African nation‚ which sacked its head coach after just one game‚ returned atypical findings for clenbuterol‚ a drug which relaxes airways in the lungs and is on the World Anti-Doping Agency's forbidden list. However‚ officials subsequently found that the presence of the drug was more likely than not down to contamination - thanks to meat eaten by the squad in their Mexico base - rather than performance-enhancing reasons. It is not clear which players are involved in the tests.

Saint Gary is doing fine‚ mind. His Goalhanger production company is on-site in New York with a daily Netflix show‚ reviewing the tournament with co-hosts Alan Shearer and Micah Richards. Mr Lineker is laughing all the way to the bank - in a reputed £14million deal - and good luck to our Golden Boot winner of 1986.
