Harry Kane now stands level with Jimmy Greaves at the top of Tottenham Hotspur’s all-time goalscoring record after netting for the 266th time for the club. His latest goal, scored despite suffering from a fever, was enough to drag Spurs out of their rut and put Antonio Conte’s team back in Champions League contention, three points behind Manchester United. The big difference, of course, is that Greaves won three major trophies with Spurs and Kane is still chasing his first piece of team silverware, while having to scrap it out for European qualification. Conte said: “It’s important to have this record, but what is more important is to lift a trophy.”Asked if winning silverware at Spurs is realistic, Conte added: “We have to be dreamers. I said to the players today that this (victory) has to be a starting point.” At various times in the game, the Spurs fans made it clear where their loyalties lie. They sang for Kane, they chanted for Conte and they made their displeasure with chairman D...

Wednesday's helicopter crash counted Ukraine's interior minister and several members of his leadership team among its victims, thought to be the most senior government officials to have died since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine last February. Interior Minister Denis Monastyrsky, his first deputy Yevheniy Yenin, the ministry's state secretary Yuriy Lubkovychis, the helicopter crew and several ministerial assistants were killed in the crash in the Kyiv suburb of Brovary. Monastyrsky, 42, was a lawyer by training. According to a biography published on the ministry's website, he spent some years teaching law and management at a university in his home town of Khmelnytskyi, before deciding to turn "from theory to practice" and become involved in politics. He worked on reforming Ukrainian law enforcement following the 2014 Euromaidan revolution, rose through the ranks and was appointed interior minister in July 2021. Last year, Monastyrsky accompa...

Boskalis, an international services provider operating in the dredging, maritime infrastructure and maritime services sectors, may leave the Netherlands. The company CEO, Peter Berdowski, said on Sven Op 1 radio show that the chance for this scenario is very real. The main topic of the radio debate was a new law on corporate social responsibility. In an interview with FD earlier this week, he also confirmed that “it would be impossible for him to do business in the Netherlands once the new law comes into force.” According to Berdowski, it is his managerial responsibility to always think about the best place for the company. “That has been the Netherlands for the past 110 years, but that is not self-evident. We are now taking that seriously,” said the CEO. The decision has not yet been made, but the CEO of the Papendrecht based company is not positive on this situation. The obligation of companies to go green is difficult for Boskalis, said Berdowski, who also pointed out that there are...

  Cristiano Ronaldo has completed a transfer to Al Nassr. Ronaldo was strongly linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League side after his second spell at Manchester United ended in acrimonious fashion in late November. That comment, as well as Ronaldo's declaration that United had "betrayed" him, led the Red Devils to terminate his contact shortly after the start of the World Cup in Qatar. Al Nassr emerged as frontrunners and on Friday the 37-year-old's transfer was officially confirmed. Reports have suggested Ronaldo has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal and will earn £62million (€69.9m) per season. "History in the making," Al Nassr tweeted. "This is a signing that will not only inspire our club to achieve even greater success but inspire our league, our nation and future generations, boys and girls to be the best version of themselves. Welcome @Cristiano to your new home @AlNassrFC." Ronaldo's move is seen as effectively bringing down the curt...
