Tottenham Hotspur are back in Europa League action on Thursday when they host Roma, fresh from their sensational 4-0 win over Manchester City. Ange Postecoglou’s side pulled the reigning Premier League champions apart to add to their miserable run of form.

Spurs are currently sixth in the league table on 19 points, just three behind Brighton, rivals Arsenal, and Chelsea in a thrilling battle for the top four. As the final weeks of the year count down and the January transfer window approaches, we’ve taken a look at some of the latest transfer rumours surrounding Spurs.

Spurs tipped to offload key player to make room for midfield star

Spurs have been linked with PSV’s Malik Tillman recently as they look to bolster their options in midfield. According to TBR Football, the US international is being monitored by both Tottenham and Aston Villa. However, while he has been viewed as a good signing for Spurs, Bryan King is adamant they will first need to offload someone from the engine room.

Speaking to Tottenham News, King said of Tillman: “He has been part of a very successful PSV team over the past two seasons. However, I’d imagine if Spurs were going to bring in this type of player, they’d need to get rid of somebody.

“Therefore, they would have to look to sell at least one of the midfield players. I think it would either be Yves Bissouma or perhaps Pape Sarr who are made available.”

Sarr has featured in all Premier League fixtures so far this season, while Bissouma has made nine appearances and scored two goals.

Spurs ‘intend to trigger’ player contract option

Tottenham have a number of players approaching the end of their contracts next summer, including Son Heung-min. The club are planning on triggering an extension for the star winger and, according to a new report from The Athletic, they are also looking to keep hold of Ben Davies as well.

Spurs ‘intend to trigger’ the option in the defender’s current deal to keep him at the club for the 2025/26 season. The 31-year-old’s terms are due to expire at the end of this campaign, which is his 11th in Tottenham colours, but they plan to keep him on for a 12th.

Davies is the longest-serving player currently at Tottenham Hotspur and despite having limited minutes in the Premier League so far this season, he remains a solid option from off the bench and has started all Wales’ Nations League matches.
