Last Word On Sports

Tottenham Hotspur have created a plan regarding the future of Djed Spence, who joined the club two years ago. His time has not been majorly successful either in North London or out on loan, with reports of “issues with his attitude”.

Ange Postecoglou Wants Djed Spence to Stay at Tottenham Hotspur

Set to be Pedro Porro Backup

Alasdair Gold has revealed that Postecoglou has a “plan” for Spence this season. The right-back will play as first backup to Pedro Porro, with Archie Gray also able to provide cover if needed. The Australian clearly has confidence in the 24-year-old, starting him at left-back in their final two pre-season friendlies, both against Bayern Munich.

This news comes after various links to other right-backs, including Vanderson from Monaco and Issa Kabore (former Luton Town loanee) from Manchester City. However, Gold has dispelled these rumours and confirmed that Tottenham will go into the season with Porro and Spence as their right-backs.

Is Djed Spence Strong Enough Depth for Tottenham Hotspur?

After Emerson Royal’s departure, there are only two natural right-backs at Tottenham. However, Porro is a very talented player, and so will not need to be replaced due to quality during the Premier League season. Furthermore, the Spaniard has not been very injury-prone for Spurs (starting 35 in the league last campaign), though in 2021/22 he did spend numerous periods out for Sporting Lisbon.

Playing in the Europa League this season will suit Spence well: he should thrive against lower-quality European sides. Furthermore, these minutes should help his development and regain his confidence and form from his time at Middlesbrough and Nottingham Forest.

If Porro stays fit, keeping Spence to play minutes in cup competitions is a great idea. However, given Porro’s importance to Postecoglou’s side, it seems that an injury would leave Spurs too weak in that area and potentially derail their season.

Reports have emerged this morning stating that Bournemouth and Tottenham have agreed a deal for the transfer of Dominic Solanke.

Tottenham Hotspur Close to Sealing Dominic Solanke Signing; Bournemouth Preparing for Record Departure

Reporters Finally on the Same Page

These reports come after a wave of contradicting information from various news outlets, but this time everyone appears to be pulling in the right direction.

The primary focus for Bournemouth this summer has been incomings, but this was a deal that won’t come as a surprise to Bournemouth fans. After Solanke’s 19-goal Premier League season, there was bound to be interest from clubs competing in Europe. The one-time England international has his sights set on returning to the national team setup.

Club Record Fee, for Both Sides!

David Ornstein has revealed that a club record sale has been agreed by Bournemouth with Spurs. Personal terms are in place and Solanke is “desperate” for the transfer.

The £65 million release clause in Solanke’s contract has put a lot of other clubs off; the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool all held interest at points. Now it looks as though Daniel Levy has agreed to make Solanke his record signing, should the deal amount to more than the €62 million they paid for Tanguy Ndombele. Alex Crook confirmed this theory, stating that it was likely to be a club-record deal both for Spurs as an incoming, and for Bournemouth as an outgoing.

Who’s the Dominic Solanke Replacement?

Bournemouth have been linked with many targets this window including Tammy Abraham, Eddie Nketiah and Cameron Archer.

It has been revealed that Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Federico Chiesa from Juventus. The Italian winger played at Euro 2024 but struggled to rediscover the excellent form that he hit at the same tournament three years prior.

Concrete Interest but No Concrete Negotiations as of Yet

Florian Plettenberg has revealed that Tottenham have a “concrete interest” in Chiesa. “First talks” with the player’s agent, Fali Ramadani, have begun, though there have been “no concrete negotiations at this stage”.

This comes after Fabrizio Romano revealed that both the club and new manager Thiago Motta have approved his exit this summer. The Bianconeri want to sell the player to help make a profit and meet financial regulations. With Chiesa’s contract expiring in a year, Juventus want around £20 million. Other European outfits like Bayern Munich had previously had him on their shortlists.

How Can Federico Chiesa Bolster Tottenham’s Squad?

Spurs have already signed another left-winger in Min-hyuk Yang this summer, though the 18-year-old will spend the next six months in South Korea. For the next few years, a high-quality player in that position could be a big improvement to Ange Postecoglou’s side.

Tottenham Hotspur’s Bryan Gil is moving closer to completing his desired move to La Liga side, Girona. This comes as little surprise, with Gil playing just 233 minutes last season and struggling to impress during his time in North London.

Tottenham Hotspur to Cut Losses With Bryan Gil

Bryan Gil Has His ‘Heart Set’ on Girona

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that “personal terms have been agreed” between Gil and Manchester City’s sister club, Girona. The player reportedly has “his heart set on a move” to the Spanish side, which is unsurprising. The minnows finished an impressive third in La Liga last season and will be playing Champions League football this year, unlike Spurs.

Gil’s camp has informed the hierarchy that he wants to join Girona “at all costs”. There are negotiations between the clubs, with “talks still ongoing”. The Spaniard, alongside his fellow countryman Sergio Reguilon, was granted permission to not travel on the pre-season tour as he explores transfer opportunities.

What Can He Bring to Girona?

Girona is an exciting destination for the player, but the club will be pleased with the arrival as well. Savio’s transfer to Manchester City this summer is a big loss, with the Brazilian contributing ten assists and nine goals in La Liga last campaign – second-highest at the club.

Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on Min-hyuk Yang, a young South Korean prodigy. He would be their third signing this summer, after securing the signatures of Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall.

Min-hyuk Yang to Receive Dream Move

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Tottenham are closing in on a deal for Yang, an 18-year-old winger who plays for Gangwon FC and South Korea’s U17 side. The player has been described as a “promising asset”, scoring seven goals in his 24 senior matches since December.

Romano reports that there is an “agreement being completed” with “medical tests to follow”. The player will sign permanently this summer but will stay at Gangwon for a six-month loan until January.

Can Min-Hyuk Yang Be the Solution to Tottenham’s Long-Term Problems?

Born in 2006, should Yang reach his potential he could be in North London for many years. With fellow South Korean, Heung-Min Son, ageing at 32-years-old, Spurs must be looking for a long-term replacement. They’ve coped relatively well with the loss of club legend and captain Harry Kane, but losing their other talisman and attacking focal point could be detrimental.

Timo Werner has returned to RB Leipzig, whilst Richarlison and Brennan Johnson haven’t reached their expected potential yet. Dejan Kulusevski has been a bright spark, but Tottenham will need some fresh attacking threat to sustain their progress over the next few years.

Yang would particularly suit Ange Postecoglou’s system as he has been integral to the high-press at his current club, making an impressive 3.5 recoveries in the opposition half per 90 minutes. Furthermore, he is versatile, able to play on either wing – though it seems likely that he would play on the left at Tottenham.

Tottenham Hotspur have left out Sergio Reguilon and Bryan Gil from the official pre-season tour squad as they have been permitted to explore prospective transfer opportunities this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano. La Liga side Girona are reportedly interested in the young winger.

Sergio Reguilon and Bryan Gil Set to Depart from Tottenham

Bryan Gil’s Journey

The 23-year-old Spanish winger, Bryan Gil, was described as “clever” by former Spurs head coach Antonio Conte. He is set to leave the club this summer after being given permission to explore transfer opportunities instead of travelling on tour with the team.

Gil joined Tottenham from Sevilla in the summer of 2021 for £21.6 million. Despite showing flashes of brilliance, he has struggled to secure a consistent starting position due to tough competition within the squad. As a result, both the player and the club have agreed that it’s best for him to seek regular playing time elsewhere.

Read More: “Documents To Be Signed”: Tottenham Hotspur Poised for £16.8 Million Boost as Key Sale Agreed

Following this decision, La Liga club Girona has shown interest in securing the winger’s services. Romano confirmed that Girona had internally discussed with the North London side regarding Gil’s transfer in the late hours of July 22nd, shortly after the duo were officially left out of the pre-season tour squad.

What Does Gil’s Move Mean for Both Clubs’ Future?

This potential move to Girona could benefit all involved parties. Girona recently lost Brazilian winger Savio to Manchester City, creating a need for a creative replacement to support Artem Dovbyk up front. This is where Gil comes in.

The Spaniard has experience in La Liga, having started his professional career in Seville, making him the perfect fit to fill the void in Girona’s left wing. This move could also provide more playing time for the 23-year-old and an opportunity to further develop his skills.

For Postecoglou’s side, it would open up a slot in the squad and potentially bring in funds that can be reinvested in other areas of the team. This transfer aligns with the club’s summer transfer strategy, focusing on optimizing the squad for the upcoming season.

Sergio Reguilon’s Journey

The 27-year-old left-back, who was also granted permission to explore transfer opportunities, joined the club from Real Madrid in the summer of 2020 for £32 million. Real’s head coach at the time, Zinedine Zidane, stated that Reguilon ‘earned’ the move after a previous loan spell at Sevilla but couldn’t keep him due to too much competition in his position.

Read More: “Happy to Stay”: Tottenham Sent Message on Future of “Unbelievable” Defender

The Spaniard’s time in the Premier League has been marked by moments of excellence, but like Gil, he has found it challenging to maintain a consistent place in the starting eleven. Reguilon has also enjoyed loan spells with Manchester United and, most recently, Brentford.

With the arrival of manager Ange Postecoglou back in July 2023, the Lilywhites have undergone tactical changes by bringing the likes of Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro, and with Reguilon, who’s probably not going to fit into the system, a move away from the London club makes perfect sense.

Spurs Transfer Strategy

One of the key aspects of Tottenham Hotspur’s summer transfers strategy is to maintain financial flexibility. By potentially offloading Gil and Reguilon, the club could free up significant wage space and secure transfer fees that can be reinvested into the squad.

This financial flexibility is crucial for Tottenham, especially in a transfer market where player valuations are at an all-time high.

Tottenham would have the opportunity to reinforce key areas of the squad. The funds generated from these transfers could be used to bring in players who better fit the tactical vision of Ange Postecoglou. Whether it’s bolstering the defense, adding creativity in midfield, or securing a reliable backup striker, the summer transfers are likely to be targeted and strategic.

Tottenham Hotspur are in the midst of reshaping Ange Postecoglou’s squad ahead of the beginning of the 2024/25 Premier League season. It now looks like they’ve finally found a resolution over the future of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Tottenham Hotspur Agree Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg Sale to Marseille

How Much Will Tottenham Receive From Hojbjerg’s Departure?

The Athletic’s Jay Harris has reported that the Lilywhites have struck an agreement with Marseille for the transfer of the Danish midfielder. This will be an initial loan deal for the 2024/25 season, but the French club are obligated to buy him in 2025. It is also stated that the entire package will see the French club paying Spurs around £16.8 million.

Fabrizio Romano has given his ‘here we go’ for the deal and also reported that the “documents set to be signed” between the two teams to complete the transfer. Hojbjerg himself has also accepted Marseille’s terms after speaking with manager Roberto De Zerbi. Tottenham are finally able to sell the Danish midfielder after seeing him being linked with an exit for the last year or so.

Last year, the 28-year-old was reportedly a target for La Liga heavyweights Atletico Madrid and was keen on joining them. However, the Spanish side couldn’t agree on a fee with Spurs, which forced him to stay on for the 2023/24 season. Hojbjerg is now getting his transfer out of Tottenham and will look to become a key part of the Marseille squad and help them strongly challenge for the Ligue 1 title next season.

How Will Tottenham Replace Hojbjerg?

The Lilywhites had been quite proactive in strengthening their midfield well before agreeing on the sale of the experienced Danish midfielder. Spurs worked swiftly to sign promising young English midfielder Archie Gray from Leeds United in the summer and he’s expected to be a direct replacement for the departing Hojberg. Gray made 52 appearances for Leeds in the 2023/24 campaign and won the EFL Championship Young Player of the Season award.

Hojbjerg made 39 appearances for Postecoglou’s side last season but the majority of his performances were actually as a substitute. He couldn’t show enough technical prowess or goal threat to become an important part of the starting lineup and is being moved away from the club. Spurs have already offloaded the likes of Joe Rodon, Eric Dier, Tanguy Ndombele, and Japhet Tanganga from their squad this summer and Hojbjerg seems to be the latest one to depart.

Tottenham Hotspur are in the midst of reshaping Ange Postecoglou’s squad before the start of the 2024/25 Premier League season, and that involves signing and selling players. It now looks like Spurs are being firm on what they’d need to sell defender Emerson Royal.

Tottenham Hotspur Anticipating Improved Bid From AC Milan for Emerson Royal

How Much Do Spurs Want to Sell Emerson?

Fabrizio Romano has reported that AC Milan are still working to sign the Brazilian full-back in the summer window. He states that “no agreement yet” because of the Italian side not being able to match Tottenham’s financial demands to let their player go.

Read More: Tottenham Considering Possible Move for Ukraine Sensation

The journalist claims that Milan had a bid lower than £12.6 million rejected by the Lilywhites, who stand firm on their demands. Spurs are expecting a much improved bid from the Serie A side and are holding out for around £16.8 million to sanction the exit of Emerson. Romano also states that the full-back had already agreed on personal terms for a five-year contract with the Rossoneri in May and is ready to make the move to Italy.

What Does Emerson Have to Say About His Future?

Even though he has not directly referred to his interest in a move to AC Milan, Emerson has recently hinted at his desire to embark on a new journey in his career. Speaking about his future to Brazilian outlet Globo recently, he stated: “I want to play on regular basis, I don’t want to sit on the bench. I’ve always been professional but I also told the coach at Spurs that I want to play, otherwise I’ve to look at other options. AC Milan? It’s a reference for all Brazilians.”
