* Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane said on Sunday that he could leave the Premier League club if the team does not progress in the right direction as he wants to win trophies "sooner rather than later". Kane has scored 181 goals for Spurs in all competitions - averaging 30 goals a season since his breakthrough into the starting lineup in 2014 - but he is yet to win a trophy with the London club.

* With professional soccer at a virtual standstill around the globe, fans in need of their weekly fix are turning to the Belarusian Premier League to fill the void as it carries on with matches despite the coronavirus outbreak.

He is revered at Turkish giants Fenerbahce, where he played for more than a decade.
