Al Nassr are waiting for confirmation that Cristiano Ronaldo will end his strike and start playing again.

Ronaldo, who will be 41 tomorrow, has stopped playing because he feels Al Nassrs title rivals Al Hilal are being given preferential treatment by Saudi authorities.

His behaviour is creating unwanted headlines for the Saudi Pro League, the Kingdoms sovereign wealth fund and the Ministry of Sport.

He missed the game against Al Riyadh on Monday and it is not guaranteed that he will play against Al Ittihad on Friday.

Jorge Jesus, the Al Nassr manager who used to manage Al Hilal, also shares Ronaldos concerns and he did not speak to the media after Mondays game.

Al Hilal spent big again this season, bringing in players such as Karim Benzema and Darwin Nunez.

Saudi clubs have opened up to private investment and Al Hilals signing of Benzema from Al Ittihad was financed by billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.  

Since Ronaldo arrived in Saudi, Al Hiala have spent 647m on transfers whereas Al Nassr have spent 410m.

Tottenham technical director Johan Lange says the club have big ambitions for the summer transfer window after staying disciplined in the January window.

Spurs have come under criticism for a lack of signings amid an injury crisis, as they only brought in midfielder Conor Gallagher and teenage left-back Souza, while selling last seasons top scorer Brennan Johnson to Crystal Palace.

A quiet Deadline Day saw Spurs sign Hearts teenager James Wilson on loan, but the forward is a player for the U21 squad.

Moments after the winter window shut on Monday, Tottenham captain Cristian Romero described the squads lack of depth as disgraceful.

But in a club interview, Spurs chief Lange explained the reasoning behind a quieter-than-expected window.

He said: When we go into January, we didn't anticipate that we'll have seven injuries during the month of January. So, that of course changes things during the course of the window.

It's very important, even though that is highly frustrating with all the injuries, to remain disciplined because, A) the players are coming back and, B) if you then, can you say, go in and make a stress purchase of any football players, then yes, the immediate feeling gives you is nice, but there's no point in signing players that have not helped us in the short term, in the medium term, or even in the long term.

So, even though that is highly frustrating with all the injuries, the majority of the players will return this season here, hopefully a few very soon. It is important as a club to remain disciplined and make sure to do our best, our ability only to sign players that can generally help the team now or in the future. 

He added: The summer market is where eight or nine out of 10 players, they move clubs, so we will go into the summer window with big ambitions of strengthening the team. We know there'll be more movements, we know there'll be more opportunities, so the plans are already, can you see, drawn up. We have a clear picture of which position and also which profiles.

Could we have brought one or two more in this January window? We would have been delighted to do so, but that was not a possibility. So, we are looking forward to the summer, now we focus on the rest of the season and that is very, very important as well because we have big objectives. We're still in the Champions League. We want to, of course, be higher in the Premier League and then myself and others will have our eyes already now directed towards the summer transfer window.

Following Arne Slot's comments that playing good football is more important than trophies, Jamie O'Hara argued that Liverpool are achieving neither, and said if they don't make Champions League this season, the manager has to go.

Your Site News' Kaveh Solhekol explains why Jean-Philippe Mateta's move to AC Milan collapsed and how the Crystal Palace striker could respond to this.

Derek McInnes believes James Wilson would have been better off staying at Hearts than joining Tottenhams Under-21s.

In a surprise deadline-day move, the 18-year-old Scotland cap signed for Spurs until the end of the season, with the terms of the loan including an option to buy for the London club.

Wilson, who also attracted interest from Arsenal, has scored eight goals in 45 appearances since making his breakthrough last season, but he has struggled for game time this term as the Jambos have surged to the top of the Scottish Premiership.

James wanted to go, so you dont want to keep a player who then becomes unhappy, said manager McInnes, addressing the strikers move for the first time. I couldnt guarantee him minutes, such is the way its been.

I told him and his agent, they knew that our preference was to stay, fight for your place, be part of something, well get you a loan in Scotland if need be, if you need to top your minutes up and we can maybe recall you, so you still get the best of both worlds.

But his head was turned with the Tottenham thing. First of all it was Arsenal, then Arsenal went quiet and then all of a sudden Tottenham came to the table Monday afternoon.

I dont think its the right move for him. Ultimately, its academy football and I think hes better than that. But it was something James wanted to do.

So like I say, we made it clear that our preference was for him to stay and be part of something here. But he made the decision and I hope it goes well for him because hes a great kid and well see how it plays out.

But for us, I just need to concentrate on the players who are here and who want to be here and who want to play their part.
