London derby at the weekend + articles about it all on Monday = Tottenham Hotspur round-up on Monday evening, starring Kevin Wimmer, Christian Eriksen, Nabil Bentaleb, Vincent Janssen and Mousa Dembele.
With the complicated equation now out of the way, we’ll get straight into a busy day for the European press, covering changed Wikipedia pages, supernatural powers, happy players and loanee praise.
Never trust Wikipedia
That is, at least, what a lot of university lecturers will tell their students when discussing the topic of researching essays and dissertations.
The online encyclopaedia can be altered by pretty much anyone, and it would appear that someone decided Tottenham’s Kevin Wimmer’s page needed an update after the London derby.
The Austrian defender scored an own goal to put Arsenal 1-0 up, and Laola in Austria picked up on the change (which has now been removed).

A cursed Dane
Christian Eriksen is struggling to find the back of the net this season, and he’s baffled by it.
So much so, in fact, that he reckons there’s some ‘voodoo’ powers altering things, and affecting his performances on the pitch for Tottenham
Ekstrabladet cover it in some detail in Monday, and with the ‘powers’ of Arsenal Twitter these days, we really wouldn’t put it past them to have created a doll of the Denmark international and stuck pins in it.
However, he’s also in a ‘super mood’, which you can read about here.
Benta-liebe dich
Sorry for the awful pun, but the German press are loving the Tottenham loanee, who managed to once again get on the scoresheet for Schalke at the weekend.
Not only that, but the player has also received praise from one of his teammates, as Benedikt Höwedes said plenty of nice things about the Algeria international when talking to Bild.
Janssen makes things clear
Signing from AZ Alkmaar over the summer, there was never one moment when someone thought Vincent Janssen would replace Harry Kane at Tottenham.
The Dutch striker knew that as well, and was fully prepared to wait for his turn, which happened sooner rather than later when the English star got injured.
With only one Premier League goal to his name, he’d also like to remind you he’s been anything but a benchwarmer, which is what many see him as.
Read what he had to say to Voetbal International here.
Dembele does a Dembele
Belgium manager Roberto Martinez has been speaking to the media ahead of the country’s friendly against the Netherlands this week.
Tottenham midfielder Mousa Dembele is an injury worry, with his situation being described as ‘uncertain’.
