Tottenham explode into race for sublime Serie A star; THREE other Prem sides keen - sources - TEAMtalk
Description

Tottenham are competing with three Premier League clubs to sign Inter Milan centre-back Yann Bisseck, TEAMtalk understands, who will be available for the right price this summer.

Spurs are keen to strengthen in multiple areas and a new centre-back signing is a possibility, after injuries to Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Radu Dragusin have exposed their lack of cover in the position.

Back-up centre-half Ben Davies is also expected to leave Tottenham this summer when his contract expires. The London side are expected to make defensive reinforcements and are looking at several targets, despite the uncertainty surrounding manager Ange Postecoglou.

TEAMtalk understands that Tottenham are keeping an eye on Inter defender Bisseck, who has performed well this season and earned himself a call-up to the German national team.

The 24-year-old has made 34 appearances across all competitions for the Nerazzurri this term, helping his side to keep an impressive 18 clean sheets in the process.

Sources state that Tottenham are the latest club to gather fresh details on Bisseck as they consider a summer approach, but they are not alone.

We understand that West Ham, Everton and Bournemouth are also monitoring the defender, who Inter will sell for the right price.

Inter Milan name their price for Tottenham target

TEAMtalk sources state that Inter are open to discussing the potential departure of Bisseck, but only under the right conditions and crucially, after the Club World Cup, which runs from June 14th to July 13th.

The Italian giants value the defender at around €35m-€40m (£30m-£34m).

West Ham boss Graham Potter is keen to add to his defensive options this summer, while Everton are looking at potential replacements for Michael Keane, whose Toffees contract expires this summer. Interest also remains in Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite, hence why David Moyes’ side are attentive to defensive targets.

TEAMtalk’s Everton correspondent Harry Watkinson revealed on April 23rd that Burnley’s Maxime Esteve, Nottingham Forest’s Andrew Omobamidele (on loan at Strasbourg) and Basaksehir’s Jerome Opoku are centre-back targets for the Toffees.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, are exploring options in defence due to the interest in Dean Huijsen, who is a target for Chelsea, Liverpool and Real Madrid.

We could therefore see four Premier League sides all battling to sign Bisseck this summer, but whether any are willing to match Inter’s price tag still remains to be seen.

Bisseck is contracted until 2029, so Inter are under no pressure to sell if no side meets their valuation of the talented centre-back.

Former Tottenham star pencilled in as surprise Postecoglou replacement - TEAMtalk
Description

A fresh report claims that Ange Postecoglou is likely to leave Tottenham Hotspur regardless of whether his side wins the Europa League this season, with a former Spurs player now joining the race to be his potential replacement.

The north London outfit will be carrying out a wide-ranging summer overhaul of their football operations following a disastrous domestic campaign that sees them sitting 16th in the Premier League table, after suffering their 18th loss of the campaign at home to Nottingham Forest on Monday evening.

European glory is still achievable if Tottenham can first get past Bodo/Glimt in the semi-finals before then facing a date with either Manchester United or Athletic Bilbao in the final – with Champions League football next season the prize.

However, a Daily Mail report states that Postecoglou will move on even if he manages to guide the club to their first major silverware in 17 years, after a largely tumultuous campaign in which the 59-year-old has come under fire from fans on numerous occasions.

As TEAMtalk have previously reported, the likes of Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola, Brentford chief Thomas Frank and Fulham’s Marco Silva are all in the running for the job.

However, Mail Sport claims that former Spurs midfielder Scott Parker, who guided Burnley to promotion this season, also has admirers within the club.

Parker was well-liked by supporters during his stint in north London and also coached within the club’s academy set-up, although they will likely eyebrows raised over his playing style.

Parker the polar opposite of Postecoglou

The former Fulham and Bournemouth coach only took the reins at Turf Moor last summer but has guided them straight back to the top flight, although much of his success has been built on an incredibly resolute defence that has conceded just 15 times in 44 Championship matches.

While appointing Iraola would be more in keeping with the attacking playing style engineered by Postecoglou, there is no doubting that ‘Parker-ball’ would be pragmatic.

Indeed, the Clarets have scored just 61 goals in their 44 games this season, averaging 1.39 goals per game, while Tottenham have notched the same number from 33 outings – averaging 1.85 goals a game.

A change of manager could be just the beginning of a major backroom shake-up at Tottenham this summer, with another Aussie, Scott Munn, also expected to leave after two years as the club’s chief football officer.

Various departments within the football operation are under the microscope and a series of changes are expected across areas such as medical, sports science and analytics.

Indeed, The Mail adds that responsibility for a terrible campaign lies not just on the head coach, with an insider stating that ‘nobody is safe’ at the club.

Tottenham have already seen one new arrival, with Vinai Venkatesham ready to join as chief executive officer in the summer.

Venkatesham is highly-regarded following his time at north London rivals Arsenal but the extent of his influence remains to be seen at this stage.

A high-level trio of Levy, executive director Donna-Marie Cullen and operations and finance director Matthew Collecott are widely viewed as those who call the shots and some have wondered if change may be on the way in that axis following Venkatesham’s appointment.

On the pitch, Spurs are back in action on Sunday when they face the daunting prospect of heading to Premier League champions-elect Liverpool.

Romero sends Levy message over Tottenham future after big future admission - TEAMtalk
Description

Tottenham defender Cristian Romero has broken his silence on his future amid continued reports that is he pushing for a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid this summer, while Atletico also continue to hover.

The Argentine World Cup winner, who is one of Ange Postecoglou’s vice-captains, currently has two years remaining on his existing contract at Spurs but talk is growing that he is looking for a way out after a disastrous domestic campaign in north London.

Real Madrid have been long-term admirers of Romero since he starred in his country’s success in Qatar back in 2022, while city rivals Atletico has recently steamrolled their way into the race for the 26-year-old.

Romero’s form for Tottenham this season, compared to when he pulls on an international shirt, has been way down on seasons past and has left many Spurs fans calling on the club to cash in while they still can.

The former Atalanta man endured another poor 45 minutes against Nottingham Forest before being taken off at half-time. However, judging by his comments, he might just be looking to give supporters want they want.

Speaking to Argentine journalist Gaston Edul on his TV show ‘Los Edu‘, Romero was asked “what’s next for you and what do you plan for your career?”

Romero responded: “No, well, I try, above all else, to always live day by day. There are almost two months left until the end of the season, and my focus is always on performing at my best and trying to finish in the best way possible.

“We’re in the Europa League semi-final, which is an important step for the club. After so many years of not making it this far, I can say I’m happy, because in the end, I’d like to win it. It depends on many things.”

Not exactly the words of a player looking to leave, but then he dropped a veiled exit message to Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, by adding: “After this, when the season ends, we’ll see. Honestly, I haven’t spoken with my agent yet, but I’m open to anything.

“My mindset is always about growing, also about going to new places to keep developing, but I don’t want to talk about that just yet because there are still a few months left before the season ends.”

Romero targets Spain switch next

The Argentine was then asked by Edul “which league that you haven’t played in would you like to play in”, to which he responded: “The league I’m missing is Spain’s. I’d love to, honestly. La Liga.

“I’d love to play there because it’s the one I haven’t played in yet.”

While not exactly a definitive Tottenham exit message, it was certainly a nod to the top clubs in Spain that he is angling for a move in that direction.

Meanwhile, Postecoglou that it was a pre-planned move to play Romero and centre-back partner Micky van de Ven for the opening 45 minutes of the Forest loss before giving thema rest.

Speaking after Tottenham’s 18th league loss of the season, Postecoglou revealed: “I thought [Romero and van de Ven] needed to play some minutes tonight because it becomes 10 days leading into Liverpool [next Sunday].

“With both of them we’ve got them in a really good place physically now and I just want to keep them ticking over.

“I felt that there was no need to play more than 45 minutes today and we needed to get a couple of others game time. I just felt that if it was Sunday we probably wouldn’t have played them, but on a Monday, especially for Micky because he’s been playing just one game a week, we need to build him up because he’s in a really good place at the moment so I thought 45 minutes for both of them would be beneficial.”

Man City news: Pep Guardiola targets £50m Tottenham star who’s ‘like a bulldog’ after Real Madrid U

Man City target £50m Tottenham star who’s ‘like a bulldog’ after stunning Daniel Levy decision - TEAMtalk
Description

Manchester City are interested in signing Pedro Porro in the summer transfer window, according to a report, which has revealed the decision that Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has made on the right-back’s future.

It has been a hugely disappointing season for Man City, who could end up outside the Premier League top five and missing out on qualification for next season’s Champions League. While Pep Guardiola’s side have reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, they could not win the Carabao Cup and failed to do anything of note in the UCL this season.

There are likely to be changes in the Man City squad in the summer transfer window, especially with players such as Kevin De Bruyne leaving.

An area that last season’s Premier League champions are keen on strengthening this summer is at right-back.

Kyle Walker left for AC Milan on a loan deal in the January transfer window, and while the Englishman’s contract at the Etihad Stadium is until 2026, it is hard to see the 34-year-old staying at the club beyond the end of the season.

Rico Lewis has done well at right-back this season, but he is only 20 and is still developing and progressing as a footballer.

According to TBR, Man City have identified Tottenham and Spain international star Porro as a potential target at right-back.

Porro moved to Man City from Girona in 2019 and left for good in 2022 after loan spells at Real Valladolid and Sporting CP.

Man City have kept tabs on Porro’s progress since and have been impressed with his performances for Tottenham this season.

TBR has noted that Spanish and European giants Real Madrid have also been interested in the 25-year-old Spain international right-back, who, according to his Tottenham team-mate Dejan Kulusevski in Football.London in January 2024, is “like a bulldog” who is “always bringing energy and always having fun”.

However, with Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold set to move to the Santiago Bernabeu as a free agent this summer, Madrid have decided to abandon their pursuit of Porro, who is valued at £50million by Tottenham.

Daniel Levy stance on Pedro Porro sale

According to TBR, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has personally decided to sell Porro in the summer transfer window.

If Spurs get an offer of £50m or more, then the north London club would cash in on the 25-year-old right-back, who has scored three goals and given eight assists in 46 matches in all competitions this season.

While Djed Spence did well at left-back this season, with Destiny Udogie now fit, the former could start at right-back, leaving Porro’s future in doubt.

Tottenham reportedly see Spence as a first-choice right-back and are willing to offload Porro for £50m or more, according to the report.

During his time at Tottenham so far, Porro, who cost the Premier League club £40m in transfer fees, has made 100 appearances, scoring 10 goals and providing 19 assists in the process.

Latest Man City news: Rodri decision, left-back target

An out-of-favour Man City midfielder has been tipped to move to Leeds United in the summer transfer window.

Leeds will play in the Premier League next season after winning promotion from the Championship.

Currently on loan at another Premier League club, the expensive midfielder does not have a long-term future at Man City under manager Pep Guardiola.

Rodri has made a decision on his future amid interest from Real Madrid, according to a report.

Los Blancos have taken a shine to Rodri, who is one of the best midfielders in the world and has already made up his mind where he would play next season.

Meanwhile, Man City are said to be admirers of a left-back Liverpool are determined to sign.

Tottenham believe they can sign Southampton star for under half his £100m price-tag - TEAMtalk
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are optimistic about signing Tyler Dibling and believe that they could get the Southampton star for less than half his asking price, TEAMtalk understands, while Newcastle United’s stance on the youngster has come to light.

Dibling has been one of Southampton’s best players this season. The versatile attacking player has scored four goals and provided three assists in 34 appearances for the Saints, who have already been relegated from the Premier League.

Given how impressive Dibling has been this season, and the volume of interested suitors, it is unlikely that he will be at Southampton next season.

Sources have told TEAMtalk that Southampton value Dibling at £100million, but Tottenham believe that they could sign the winger for less than half of that.

Tottenham are currently the most intent on signing the winger, who, according to former Manchester United player Dion Dublin on Match of the Day on BBC One in December 2024, “plays his game like Cole Palmer.”

Spurs are the most serious club for Dibling at this stage and, according to BBC Sport, previously saw a bid worth £35m knocked back in January. There is interest in the winger from Newcastle, Manchester United and Manchester City as well.

The north London club’s perspective is that since they signed James Maddison for £40million in the summer of 2023 after Leicester City got relegated, Dibling could be available for a similar fee, maybe around £45million with a few add-ons on top.

Tottenham believe that when formal talks open, Southampton will not be as adamant about getting £100million for Dibling.

Southampton, though, have made it clear that their priority is to keep Dibling and are banking on his loyalty to the club to keep hold of him.

Dibling is appreciative of Southampton because after his struggles at the Chelsea academy, the Saints welcomed him back and ultimately gave him a pathway to the Premier League.

However, the Dibling is now ready to move on, and has been since the departure of Russell Martin, who he was close to.

Newcastle United stance on Tyler Dibling

TEAMtalk understands that Newcastle still hold an interest in Dibling, but the Magpies may not be as determined as they were before to bring the winger to St. James’ Park.

While Newcastle will be looking to strengthen the right-wing position, it was the club’s then Sporting Director Dan Ashworth who was driving the Magpies’ interest in Dibling.

While the Premier League top-five hopefuls still appreciate Dibling, it is not as clear-cut as it was before.

Moreover, Jacob Murphy is doing well at the moment, which means that Newcastle may not be keen on spending big money on a right winger.

Murphy has scored nine goals and provided 12 assists in 36 appearances for Eddie Howe’s side this season.

Newcastle also have an interest in Antoine Semenyo, and the Magpies could prioritise the 25-year-old Ghana international forward, who can operate on the right wing as well as on the left wing.

TEAMtalk understands that Man City also appreciate Dibling, and so do Man Utd.

Man Utd Technical Director Jason Wilcox knows Dibling well from his time at Southampton, and while the Red Devils want to invest in young English talent and are likely to sign a right-sided player, their top target in the summer transfer window is to sign a number nine.

Ruben Amorim’s side are also keen on signing a new number 10 and bringing in a goalkeeper. Signing a right-winger is low on Man Utd’s list of priorities.

Postecoglou sack could net Tottenham stunning double signing from Prem rivals - TEAMtalk
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly ready to step up their pursuit of Brentford attacker Bryan Mbeumo in a stunning move that could hinge on whether Thomas Frank ends up as Ange Postecoglou’s replacement in north London.

Spurs are expected to spend significantly this summer as they look to put to bed a disastrous domestic campaign that could see them finish as low as 17th in the Premier League table if results go against them.

However, winning the Europa League, where they will face Norwegian outfit Bodo/Glimt in the last four, would boost their coffers for even bigger spend – given that it brings Champions League qualification.

Despite having one of the highest-scoring attacks in the English top flight this season, the regular Tottenham front three of skipper Son Heung-min, Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson all have faults to their game that could lead to a replacement being signed.

And it’s Johnson’s place that is under threat when it comes to a report from CaughtOffside, as they claim that Tottenham are ready to intensify their efforts to to sign 18-goals Bees winger Mbeumo.

The 25-year-old Cameroon international bagged his fourth brace of the Premier League season as Frank’s men beat Brighton on Saturday as speculation mounts that the duo could end up pairing up together again at Tottenham, if Postecoglou fails to keep hold of his job.

The report adds that Mbeumo could be available for ‘the right price’ this summer – with a £50-55million tag currently being touted for one of the Premier League’s most improved players.

Indeed, Mbeumo’s 18-goal tally is only bettered by illustrious trio Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak in the English top flight this season, leading the Bees forward to also be attracting interest from the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle.

DON’T MISS ➡️ When does the summer 2025 transfer window open? All the key dates…

Tottenham considering double Brentford raid

As TEAMtalk have stated on numerous occasions, Brentford boss Frank is greatly admired in north London and is in the running, along with Bournemouth’s Ando Iraola and Fulham chief Marco Silva, to replace the under-pressure Postecoglou.

And, if the Australian is shown the door, there has to be a strong chance that Frank would be able to convince Mbeumo to follow him across the capital as one of his first statement signings at Spurs.

Indeed, Frank is already of the belief that Mbeumo is ready to play for a bigger club, also admitting he would re-sign him if he left his role at Brentford. Speaking back in September, he said: “He’s a top player. I’m convinced he will play for a bigger club. I’d buy him if I was at a bigger club!”

Replacing Johnson with the Bees attacker on Tottenham’s right flank would arguably be harsh on the Wales international, given his tally of 23 goals/assists this season. However, Spurs fans have become increasingly frustrated over Johnson’s overall ability to have more impact on games that he goes completely missing in – despite those impressive statistics.

Having Mbeumo line up on the right would also see a full-time switch for Dejan Kulusevski to the No.10 role, where he has proved this season to be a more consistent presence than James Maddison.

Kulusevski is currently being hunted by top clubs in Italy ahead of the summer window, but a new contract offer is rumoured to be in the works for the Sweden international and a full-time switch to his favoured position would also bolster the club’s hopes of keeping him.

Spurs are back in action on Monday night when they welcome Nuno Espirito Santo back to north London with his high-flying Nottingham Forest side.

Tottenham forced into answering two big Kulusevski questions amid new deal talks - TEAMtalk
Description

Tottenham Hotspur attacker Dejan Kulusevski is reportedly seeking clarity over two key factors at the club before committing to fresh contract terms in north London, amid strong links to Serie A giants Napoli and AC Milan.

Although the Swedish winger still has three years remaining on his £110,000-per-week, the Spurs hierarchy are keen to reward him with improved terms before the summer window opens in order to fend off suitors.

Kulusevski has arguably been Tottenham‘s player of what’s been an incredibly trying season that will only reach a satisfying conclusion if they win the Europa League to then qualify for the Champions League as reward.

A somewhat surprising two-legged semi-final against Norwegian outfit Bodo/Glimt awaits, with Kulusevski likely to be fully fit for those clashes after recently returning from a foot injury.

And now GiveMeSport reports that the Sweden international, who has alternated between the right-wing and No.10 position for much of the campaign, will consider extending his stay but only if certain boxes are ticked.

They state that the 24-year-old wants confirmation of the club’s transfer plans, along with what the future holds for Ange Postecoglou before he is willing to sit down and potentially put to paper.

Victory over Eintracht Frankfurt has eased the pressure a touch on the Spurs boss, although the likes of Brentford’s Thomas Frank, Fulham chief Marco Silva and the club’s No.1 target, Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola, continue to be linked with the Australian’s job.

To that end, Kulusevski wants some answers to burning questions – although he is prepared to sign lucrative new terms if he can be convinced that the club are moving in the right direction.

Tottenham facing critical summer

In terms of the first part, there is an expectation that significant funds will be made available to whoever is in charge of the club after a season in which the first-team squad’s depth was severely tested.

And while there may be a need to offload at least one top star first, after it was recently revealed that the club still owe over £440m in transfer fees, bolstering the sine of the side is expected to be the main focus.

Another centre-back, at least two new central midfielders and potentially another No.9 to compete with Dominic Solanke are the main focuses of attention, especially with the likes of Cristian Romero, Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur and Richarlison strongly tipped to move on.

As for Postecoglou’s future, that’s a tougher one to call as the club close in on a major European final.

The Australian insisted earlier in the season how he ‘always wins a trophy in his second season’ at a new club and that possibility s now just three games away.

However, there could be a scenario where Postecoglou wins the club their first piece of major silverware in 17 years and still gets shown the door, due to Tottenham’s atrocious Premier League showing this season.

Indeed, how the club manages to finish the season will have a major bearing on what Kulusevski wants to do next, especially with the likes of Napoli and Milan urging him to head back to Italy.

Kulusevski, who has scored 10 goals and added 10 assists for Spurs in 44 appearances this season, could return to the starting XI for Monday night’s clash with Nottingham Forest – unless Postecoglou opts to wrap him and other key stars in cotton wool ahead of the upcoming Bodo/Glimt clashes.

Tottenham: Postecoglou sack questioned as Spurs players 'work wonders' for endangered boss - TEAMtalk
Description

Sami Mokbel has questioned whether Tottenham can ‘really sack’ Ange Postecoglou after reaching the Europa League semi-finals, believing his players have ‘worked wonders for him’.

Pressure has been mounting on Postecoglou this season, and with good reason. His Spurs side came fifth in the Premier League last season, but are currently 15th.

The only chance of anything positive coming out of the campaign has rested with the Europa League for some time. The quarter-final was poised at 1-1 after the first leg, and Tottenham managed to overcome Eintracht Frankfurt with a 1-0 victory in the second.

For a while before the game, it has been suggested that getting knocked out of the Europa League would be the final nail in Postecoglou’s coffin.

BBC journalist Mokbel has questioned amid poor form elsewhere whether Spurs can let the manager go, with the run still going on.

He wrote: ‘What a big night that is for Ange Postecoglou, who lives to fight another day after this narrow win at Eintracht Frankfurt. If defeat here would have cost him his job, then his players have worked wonders for him tonight.

‘You’d imagine now Postecoglou will remain at the helm until the Europa League final. What happens if they win it? Can Tottenham really sack him after winning a trophy?’

If he is to be shown the door, though Spurs already have a couple of men in sight to take over.

TEAMtalk has long been aware of interest in Andoni Iraola, but Bournemouth cut put paid to any potential deal by offering their manager a new deal.

Instead, Tottenham could look to hire Brentford boss Thomas Frank. Sources have stated that the manager will be asked about the role if Postecoglou is shown the door.

For now, he might be safe, but options are being lined up to take the Australian’s place if failure occurs.

Tottenham round-up: Grealish transfer possible

Spurs are said to be the ‘leading candidates’ to sign Jack Grealish in the summer, with Manchester City willing to listen to offers for the attacker.

Tottenham almost signed Grealish years ago, and could finally land him.

Meanwhile, City want to sign one of Spurs’ own stars, Destiny Udogie.

But the north London club’s stance is a firm one – they “definitely” want to keep him for next season, so there is “no price tag” on the defender.

Tottenham 'leading' race for Jack Grealish with Man City ready to say goodbye - TEAMtalk
Description

Tottenham are reportedly the ‘leading candidates’ to sign Manchester City star Jack Grealish, with the Citizens ‘open to listening to proposals’ for the attacker.

Spurs are having a very poor season by what are usually quite lofty standards. While they have dropped back from being top-four regulars in recent years – finishing there once in the last five seasons – they have still largely challenged for a spot there.

This season, there’s absolutely no chance of getting anywhere near. Tottenham are 15th in the Premier League, with just six games remaining.

It seems clear that something has to change, be that manager or playing personnel, and Spurs are looking to big-name attacker Grealish to improve their standing.

According to Fichajes, Spurs have ’emerged as the leading candidates’ for the three-time Premier League champion. It’s the ‘feeling of stagnation’ in his game – Grealish has started just seven league games this season – which has ‘sparked interest from several teams’.

Tottenham seemingly believe the forward can get back near his best with them, though. It’s said City would be ‘open to listening to proposals’ for Grealish if the offer ‘meets their financial expectations’ which are not mentioned.

Tottenham could finally get Grealish

Tottenham came close to landing Grealish in 2018, with the attacker himself believing he was to move there.

Spurs’ former technical director Steve Hitchen said: “We were very close to getting Jack Grealish, which would have been probably one of the best signings.”

The north London club ended up not signing a single player in the summer of 2018.

It seems almost guaranteed after such a poor season that they will bring in some fresh talent for next season, and Grealish could finally be one of their signings.

Tottenham round-up: £30m Richarlison offer coming

Everton are reportedly preparing to offer £30million for Tottenham striker Richarlison.

If Spurs accepted that, they’d lose half of their original outlay on the Brazilian, who they signed from the Toffees.

Meanwhile, TEAMtalk is aware that Tottenham will speak to Brentford boss Thomas Frank if they get rid of current manager Ange Postecoglou.

It’s as there could be difficulties with getting Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola to the club, with the Cherries looking to offer him a new contract there.

Prem rival to make cheeky offer for Tottenham misfit as calamitous £30m LOSS becomes reality - TEAMtalk
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly preparing to receive a £30million offer from a Premier League rival for striker Richarlison which, if accepted, would represent a massive loss on the injury-plagued Brazilian.

The 27-year-old has endured another injury-hit campaign in north London, having made just 16 appearances in all competitions for Ange Postecoglou’s men and scored just four goals with one assist.

Indeed, his overall stats since joining Tottenham from Everton for £60m in the summer of 2022 do not make for good reading. Richarlison has notched just 19 times and laid on nine goals for his teammates in 82 total appearances.

And with Spurs expected to move for a new forward player to rival Dominic Solanke this summer anyway, his days appear to be numbered amid continued links to the Saudi Pro League.

However, a fresh report claims a move closer to home is being prepped for Richarlison in the form of a return to Goodison Park.

The player himself favours remaining in a top European League and GiveMeSport reports that Everton are contemplating whether to ‘up the ante’ for the forward.

The report states that David Moyes wants to add more firepower to his forward line, especially with Dominic Calvert-Lewin set to leave on a free transfer this summer, and the Merseysiders could launch a £30m offer for Richarlison as his replacement.

It’s claimed that Moyes and senior figures at Everton are increasingly confident that the Brazil international can revive his career at the club’s new Bramley Moore stadium.

Tottenham facing harsh Richarlison reality

At this stage, Spurs are fully aware that the only hope they have of securing anything like the figure they forked out for the forward is if he changes his mind of a move to the Middle East.

However, with that looking increasingly unlikely, a major loss now looms for a player who still has two years left on his current contract.

GiveMeSport adds that Everton are now considering opening talks with Tottenham and retain hope that they could re-sign their former player for a ‘bargain fee’ – if Spurs buckle.

Their first aim will be to discover the lowest fee Tottenham will consider for the Brazilian, before then making a formal offer.

As for Spurs’ hunt for a new forward, they continue to pursue the likes of Wolves star Matheus Cunha, Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, Brazilian starlet Rayan and on-loan Juventus attacker Randal Kolo Muani amongst others.

However, after it was revealed they still owe a whopping £441m in transfer fees, there will likely be a need for one or two big sales first before the purse strings are opened in the summer.
