Tottenham boss Ryan Mason makes Aymeric Laporte claim as Jose Mourinho rejects job offer

Here's all the news from around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium over the past 24 hours.

Mason delivers verdict on Laporte

Tottenham's interim boss Ryan Mason believes Aymeric Laporte should have been booked twice in Sunday evening's Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City.

Laporte brought down Lucas Moura, who was away on the counter-attack, but referee Paul Tierney chose not to book the Frenchman.

Moments later, the City defender fouled Lucas again, and this time was shown a yellow, before eventually going on to score the game's only goal late on.

Mason shared his thoughts on the controversial decision not to book him for the first foul on Lucas.

He said: "I thought the first one was an absolute certain yellow. It's not the talking point because maybe he doesn't make the second foul if he's on a yellow."

Gundogan and Foden's classy touch

After the final whistle blew in Tottenham's 1-0 defeat to Manchester City, Phil Foden and Ilkay Gundogan went over to confront Son Heung-min, who was emotional after the loss.

Captured by the Sky Sports cameras, Gundogan and Foden both went over to see Son, who was understandably devastated as Spurs fell just short at Wembley.

The City duo were not the only players to console the Spurs star, with Kevin De Bruyne later doing the same.

Mourinho makes big decision over future

Jose Mourinho has turned down a move to Celtic, according to Duncan Castles on the latest Transfer Window podcast.

Mourinho was sacked by Tottenham just last week but has already received offers, according to Castles.

Celtic have been without a manager since Neil Lennon's departure in February, with the likes of Roy Keane, Frank Lampard and Eddie Howe being linked with the vacant role.

Castles said on the podcast: “My information is that the first of those approaches came from Celtic Football Club who are in need of significant managerial change.

“They are in need of a change of fortune to get themselves back on top of the heap in Scotland after Steven Gerrard guided Rangers to the Scottish title by a significant margin.

“My understanding is that his (Mourinho's) response to that approach from Celtic is that he is not ready to coach now. There have been other offers," the journalist concluded.
