Tottenham are in the market for a mystery forward this summer after Roma boss Jose Mourinho blocked his former side's swoop for Nicolo Zaniolo. Spurs manager Antonio Conte has been granted a host of new faces to work with this season, and fans could welcome even more recruits before the window slams shut.

Don't know how true this is, but let Roma know we'll walk away and it will cost them a fortune with Zaniolo's contract running down.

Please DO NOT click on the link, it's a fucking disgrace.

First up it tells us

Tottenham are in the market for a mystery forward this summer after Roma boss Jose Mourinho blocked his former side's swoop for Nicolo Zaniolo.

Which is basically Zaniolo isn't happening but we'll sign someone else instead. Fuck knows who though. It's a mystery you see? What a crock of high grade excrement.
Then it ends with

Spurs were supposedly confident that a season-long loan followed by a £42million obligation to buy would please all parties, but they now face the prospect of having to cough up more money up front to get Mourinho's blessing.

But it might happen after all. Perhaps this is why the replacement signing is a 'mystery'

This is typical of the rank, lazy and clickbait attitude toward both accuracy and actually, the truth. I was going to say in sports reporting but it's rampant everywhere. Make something up out of nowhere, add an attention grabbing hook (in this case 'mystery' signing) and watch the clicks roll in.

It's up to people to understand this and stop being patsy's for this bollocks.

Sensationalist weather reports, vitamins for the elderly and bullshit transfer stories. Absolute quality paper.
