Parker return good news for Winks + Çalhanoğlu to Milan



News from the club that Scott Parker has returned to the club as our new Under-18 coach and as a Club Ambassador. He is just the sort of character we need coaching youngsters, a total professional with the right image, the right personality and the right mental approach.

“I’m delighted to be back at Tottenham and look forward to immersing myself in the job. Obviously it wasn’t an easy decision to call time on my playing career though I’m looking forward to this new chapter and am grateful to Spurs for handing me this opportunity at such an exciting time in the Club’s history. It is a great honour to represent the Club both as a coach and ambassador.”

There is a further quote from our Head of Coaching and Player Development, John McDermott on the official Spurs website.

Scott Parker has been keeping a close eye on the progress of Harry Winks and although he is with a different age group now, I'm sure he will have a few words of advice for him, having played as a defensive midfielder with aplomb himself.


Tottenham, Everton and Arsenal are reported to be interested in 23-year-old (24 next February) Turkish international and wantaway Bayer Leverkusen star Hakan Çalhanoğlu, but it looks as if he may be going to Italy and AC Milan. They have offered him £2.19 million (€2.5m - AUS$3.72m - US$2.85m) a year salary and the number 10 shirt, which presumably means something to him.

The Bundesliga side want £26.33 million (€30m - AUS$44.6m - US$34.24m) as he has 2 years left on his contract. Thus far AC Milan are offering £17.56 million (€20m - AUS$29.73m - US$22.83m) plus bonuses.
