Tottenham's Readiness
Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi confirmed his team's readiness ahead of their match against Nottingham Forest this Saturday in the English Premier League.
De Zerbi said: "We are all ready to play. James Maddison has returned and started participating with us, but the other players are in good shape, and Savinho has also returned and is ready."
David Moyes' Frustration
Everton manager David Moyes expressed his frustration over the setbacks his team faced on the final day of the transfer window, which left the team with a very limited squad.
Everton appears much weaker after the end of the summer transfer window, following the failure of a late attempt to sign Monaco striker "Florent Balogun" on the same day that "Iliman Ndiaye" was sold to Manchester City.
Moyes now has only 18 players (excluding goalkeepers), including just one pure striker.
Moyes said: "I am disappointed that we did not complete more deals and that things did not go as we hoped at the end, but in football, you sometimes have to live with disappointments; that is what we will do, and we will move forward."

Barcelona's Moves
FC Barcelona is working on updating the contracts of several young talents in the team, led by Egyptian Hamza Abdel Karim, along with Xavi Espart and Bryan, as the management seeks to secure the players' futures and increase the release clauses in their contracts.
Barcelona's management began negotiations with the representatives of the three players about two weeks ago, amid optimism about reaching final agreements during the current month of September.
Barcelona's move comes due to the low value of the players' current release clauses, which were set during their time in the youth teams or the reserve team, before their valuations rose significantly after being promoted to the first team.

Mohamed Abdelmonem's Dilemma
Roger Ricort, the sporting director of Nice, spoke about the situation of Egyptian defender Mohamed Abdelmonem, revealing the behind-the-scenes of the period before his return to group training, and praising the player's capabilities.
Ricort said about Abdelmonem: "We thought he would want to leave the club. He trained separately for a week, and at the end of the second week, when he joined group training, the coach told me it was good that he stays with us. We worked on gradually bringing him back to his best level."
He added: "I strongly want him to learn French, and we will find someone to help him with that. When this player speaks, the coach does not understand what he is saying. Frankly, he has very large defensive capabilities, and he is also good at getting the ball out and building play from the back."
