While Tottenham's focus remains on their recent victory over Manchester United, transfer rumours continue to surface.

Spurs are often at the centre of multiple transfer speculations in major media outlets.

We recently reported that Newcastle are looking to derail Tottenham's summer plans by beating them to the signing of Bryan Mbeumo.

Additionally, we informed you that Tottenham Hotspur are targeting a move for Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Bynoe-Gittens this summer.

For now, however, let’s focus on a report suggesting that PSG could actually help Spurs this summer.

Randal Kolo Muani could stay at Juventus, opening the door for Dusan Vlahovic to join Tottenham

Not long ago, we reported that Tottenham were in a good position to sign Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus, especially given Randal Kolo Muani's impressive form in Italy.

Now, according to Calciomercato (h/t Parisinos.net), PSG are willing to accept a bid in the region of €50 million for Kolo Muani, far lower than their initial €95 million valuation.

This would pave the way for Juventus to sign Kolo Muani permanently, which in turn would open the door for Vlahovic to leave, potentially bringing him closer to Tottenham.

This season in the Champions League, Vlahovic has scored four goals and provided one assist in six starts.

Meanwhile, in Serie A, he has nine goal involvements in 16 starts, scoring eight goals and assisting once. So, despite Kolo Muani's rise, the Serbian striker continues to perform at a high level.

Dusan Vlahovic could be a better heir to Harry Kane than Dominic Solanke

Many Tottenham fans hoped that the arrival of Dominic Solanke would finally fill the void left by Harry Kane’s departure to Bayern Munich.

However, while the English forward has performed well, he has fallen short of the massive expectations placed upon him.

Vlahovic could be a more suitable successor to Kane than Solanke, given their playing styles.

Although Dominic Solanke impressed in the Championship, he has never reached Vlahovic’s level in a top-five European league such as the Premier League or Serie A.

Tottenham can certainly succeed with Solanke, but having both strikers competing would be a fantastic scenario for the club.

The journalist's report on Daniel Levy will leave Tottenham fans disheartened

If there’s one thing worrying Tottenham fans, it’s the current state of the club.

Although Spurs won their last match against Manchester United, this only slightly eased the tension surrounding the team.

But what’s causing all this unrest? Well, it’s no secret that many are unhappy with how things are being handled at the club.

Much of the frustration is directed at Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, who has faced heavy criticism, chants, and protests calling for him to step down.

Now, a new report has emerged suggesting that a change in ownership could be on the horizon.

Daniel Levy has no plans to leave the club

According to reports (h/t The Boy Hotspur), former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys claimed yesterday that Tottenham are set to be taken over by Qatari investors, with a deal said to be close to completion.

Speaking on the Rule The Roost podcast, journalist Dan Kilpatrick confirmed that, in fact, Qatari investors have expressed interest in the North London club.

The issue? It appears that Daniel Levy will not be stepping down from his role, even if the takeover goes through.

Just a few days ago, reports suggested that Levy was open to stepping aside if necessary, given the club’s struggles in recent years.

However, despite ENIC potentially becoming a minority partner, it seems Levy’s departure is not on the cards.

Kilpatrick also admitted he has been unable to verify the full extent of these reports but acknowledged that the idea of Levy remaining at the club has been circulating for quite some time.

Kilpatrick stated: "There has been interest from Qatar. And I think it is fair to say that it’s kind of well-known and well talked about that Levy would kind of like to stay on in the event of ENIC becoming potentially a minority partner."

"You know, I haven’t written that because I haven’t kind of been able to double source it," Kilpatrick explained.

"I mean, in terms of my take on that, I find it very, very interesting because I think Levy does feel like, I hesitate to say the word toxic because it might be a bit strong, but you know, obviously there’s a lot of unrest towards him by supporters."

Tottenham needs a change in leadership

As we’ve previously discussed, fans are frustrated, with protests taking place both inside and outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

And while Daniel Levy may have contributed to the club’s financial growth, the lack of trophies and success on the pitch has completely overshadowed his tenure.

Fans continue to demand change—and they are making their voices heard loud and clear.

All we can do as supporters is speculate about what the future holds and hope that Levy makes a decision, one that, for the good of the club, involves stepping away.vv

Spurs in pole position to sign player amid PSG interest

Tottenham Hotspur continue to navigate one of their most challenging seasons in recent years.

While fans remain focused on the team's performances on the pitch, reports continue to emerge, particularly regarding the transfer market.

We recently reported that Tottenham are interested in signing Kyle Walker-Peters, a former player of the London club.

Additionally, another report has linked Spurs with Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, amid Randal Kolo Muani's impressive form at the Vecchia Signora.

For now, attention turns to a recent report linking Tottenham with a player for whom PSG have already submitted a bid.

Tottenham linked with Richard Rios

According to CaughtOffside (h/t Parisinos.net), Tottenham have joined the race to sign Richard Rios, a Colombian midfielder currently playing for Palmeiras.

In fact, the report states that Spurs are now the frontrunners to secure the talented South American playmaker.

The same report also mentions West Ham and Nottingham Forest as clubs interested in Rios.

Recently, Antena 2 reported that PSG submitted a €20 million offer for the player, but the bid was rejected.

The biggest challenge for Tottenham and other interested clubs lies in Palmeiras' high release clause for Rios, which is set at €100 million.

Richard Rios might not be the ideal solution for Spurs

While the Brazilian league is competitive, player valuations from the league often become inflated.

There is no doubt about Rios' talent and potential, but he is far from being worth €100 million.

Tottenham would need to negotiate flawlessly with Palmeiras to secure a favourable deal. Otherwise, they may have to look elsewhere.

In the 2024 season, Richard Rios has played 14 matches, averaging 56 minutes per game. During this campaign, he has maintained an 82% pass accuracy.

Additionally, he has averaged 1.9 tackles, 3.9 ball recoveries, and 0.8 interceptions per match.

Previously, Richard Rios played for Flamengo, Guarani, and Mazatlan FC.

Tottenham captain’s future in doubt as new report questions his form

It seems the media just can’t get enough of putting Tottenham in the headlines.

Once again, the Spurs captain is at the centre of discussion.

For quite some time now, the Heung-Min Son has been the subject of comments that, for us fans, are far from pleasant. But how much of it is actually true?

Heung-Min Son’s form has taken a dip

Heung-Min Son has raised concerns due to a noticeable dip in his performances on the pitch.

Once regarded as a 'talisman' for Tottenham, he is now falling out of favour with many, as he has not quite lived up to expectations—at least compared to previous seasons.

As we’ve already mentioned, journalists and analysts have weighed in on the matter, with most now questioning whether he is still 'captain material'.

According to a new report from GIVEMESPORT, the return of previously injured players now puts the forward’s spot in the team under serious threat.

The outlet claims Tottenham have already taken note of Son’s poor form, and he is expected to have less game time now that players like Wilson Odobert and Brennan Johnson are back.

Additionally, young talents such as Mathys Tel are also in the mix to compete for a place in the squad.

In fact, it is said that the captain now 'struggles' to make the starting XI when all attacking options are available.

Tottenham captain could be on his way out

So, what does the future hold for the Spurs skipper? Will he actually be replaced?

One might assume that, after years of dedication to the club, he would retain his place. But that may not be the case.

Speculation has been growing for some time that Heung-Min Son could be sold.

Strong rumours have linked him with a move away, with Saudi Arabian clubs reportedly interested, and even Barcelona keeping a close eye on him during the last transfer window.

His future remains uncertain, and while many supporters would be devastated to see him leave, perhaps elsewhere he would get the recognition he truly deserves.

Heung-Min Son’s contract with Spurs runs until June this year, and once it expires, we may no longer see him wearing the Lilywhites' shirt.

Tottenham looking to bring back a Southampton defender

Transfer rumours for the summer show no signs of slowing down, and neither do Tottenham Hotspur.

Let’s not forget that there are still months to go before the summer transfer window opens.

However, these kinds of reports keep emerging, so before diving into the main topic, here are some related updates.

It was recently revealed that Spurs are in a strong position to sign a striker from Juventus and, meanwhile, reports have emerged claiming that the North London club attempted a last-minute move for Mexican striker Santiago Gimenez during the previous transfer window.

At the same time, Tottenham are locked in a battle—one Newcastle could win—for Brentford FC forward Bryan Mbeumo.

Now, new reports suggest that Spurs have set their sights on Kyle Walker-Peters, a former player of the club, as a potential signing.

Leeds United set to hijack Kyle Walker-Peters deal

According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham are not the only club interested in the Southampton FC defender.

Leeds United are reportedly keen on securing his services, as they see Walker-Peters as a player who could strengthen their squad.

The report also states that Leeds had previously shown interest in the defender but backed away due to Southampton's £7 million asking price.

On top of that, Spurs will have to fend off competition from other clubs, including Everton and Leicester City, who are also eyeing Walker-Peters.

Tottenham could secure a return for their former defender

The right-back appears open to leaving his current club, and Tottenham seem eager to seize the opportunity to bring him back.

Reports from previous weeks have indicated that Ange Postecoglou and his team are keen on reinforcing the full-back positions, which could give Walker-Peters the chance to establish himself as a regular starter.

So far this season (2024/25), Kyle Walker-Peters has started 23 matches, contributing two assists and securing two clean sheets.

It remains to be seen how this transfer saga unfolds in the coming months.

For now, Tottenham must focus their energy on their next fixture against Ipswich this Saturday, 22nd February.

Spurs in a good position to sign striker from Italian giants

Although the winter transfer window has been shut for over two weeks now, and the summer transfer window is still a few months away, the rumours linking Spurs to a number of players seem to never truly go away.

Since the window shut, we have seen the club linked to the likes of Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund, Piero Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen, Moise Kean from Fiorentina, and plenty of others. We would be here all day if we were to name every single one.

That said, one of those players is Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic. As per media outlet GiveMeSport, Tottenham Hotspur are the striker's "most likely destination" if he was to leave the club this summer, with it also being reported that he would like a move to the Premier League, should he depart the club.

Spurs linked with Dusan Vlahovic from Italian outfit Juventus

The Serbian striker had been the first choice striker since joining from Fiorentina in January of 2022, but has lost his place in the side of late - last starting a Serie A game in December. Ironically, the player keeping him out of the side at the moment is Randal Kolo Muani. Small world.

In terms of profile, Vlahovic is a tall - around 6'3 - striker, who is very difficult to defend in the penalty area. However, he does lack quite a lot of mobility and athleticism, and can be quite geriatric at times, which doesn't marry up too well, particularly if Ange is still in charge.

When he joined the club, the recently turned 25-year old cost around 70 million pounds, but will have only 12 months on his contract this summer, so in theory he could, and likely would cost more than that this summer.

However, one key stumbling block is that, per the report, he earns more than £300,000 a week at the Turin club. There is no way that Spurs would pay him anything close to that amount, and on this occasion, rightly so. He would not be worth a wage even similar to that.

Truthfully, the links to out and out strikers with a lot of pedigree do feel weird. Although he has missed the last month, and a couple of games at the start of the season, Dominic Solanke is not, generally, an injury prone player. He played all 38 league games for Bournemouth last season. Someone like Mathys Tel, who can play up front but also out wide, would make more sense as a permanent signing this summer.

Gary Lineker brings up maiden England call up possibility for Spurs defender

Description

One of the biggest success stories in a disappointing season for Tottenham Hotspur so far has been the emergence of Djed Spence. A cast off for the first two years of his Spurs career, and even this season, to begin with - he was not in the team very often, and bizarrely left out of the Europa League squad.

However, through chance due to the amount of injuries Spurs have had, he has had a long run in the team since the middle of December, and has been superb in the vast majority of those games. Despite playing out of position at left-back, he has been consistently very good, both defensively and on the ball.

Owing to these performances, there has been talk within the fanbase that he deserves his first ever call up to the senior national team. One pundit who agrees with this, is former Spurs striker Gary Lineker.

Gary Lineker tips Spurs defender for a first ever England call up

Speaking on The Rest is Football podcast, the 64-year old was asked if he was impressed with Spence, and responded with: "Absolutely. I was really impressed with Djed Spence again. I think he was, quite rightly, given man of the match by Gary Neville. He was up and down. He was good defensively. He was good on the ball.

It’s funny, isn’t it, that about a year ago, well, not even that really, actually during the Euros itself, we were going, you know, the left-back problem for England - and then suddenly you get three emerge at once, you know, with [Myles] Lewis-Skelly, obviously Lewis Hall and Djed Spence, you know, three young players that suddenly look really strong in that position.

And I would think one of them will be playing in Thomas Tuchel’s first game, which is only just, what, a month away now. So they’ll be fighting for that position.”

Hard to disagree with these comments. If he does receive a call up, it will be interesting to see if it as a left-back or right-back. Outside of Trent Alexander-Arnold, there is not much at right-back. Kyle Walker is well past his best, Reece James is very injury prone, Kieran Trippier has retired, etc. Although Spence has been playing as a left-back, he could be called up with a view to playing on the right.

There is extra incentive for the 24-year old to get a call up this summer too, with it being confirmed that England are set to play against Senegal in a friendly at the City ground - the home of Nottingham Forest - in June. There is no doubting that, so far, Spence has played the best football of his career at Forest, and playing at the City ground as a home player would be amazing for him.

The signing Tottenham tried to steal from AC Milan at the last minute, but failed

The winter transfer window has passed, but that doesn’t mean we’re done talking about it.

The latest transfer window gave us plenty to discuss, especially regarding Tottenham, as we previously mentioned.

One of their targets, Fikayo Tomori, revealed why he rejected Tottenham at the time.

Despite the Spurs' last-minute signing of Mathys Tel, the team had another player in their sights towards the end of the window, but the deal couldn’t be completed.

The target they had in mind, and who interestingly also comes from AC Milan, was centre-forward Santiago Gimenez.

Tottenham sought to sign Santiago Gimenez

According to reports from Calciomercato, the 23-year-old Mexican could have chosen Spurs, as the club made a strong effort to secure his services.

The outlet also mentions that Tottenham were looking for players who could add more goals, which is why they turned their attention to him.

However, journalist Daniele Longo revealed that Gimenez had 'already given his word' to AC Milan before Spurs made their approach, so naturally, he turned down their offer.

Santiago Gimenez has made a strong start with the Rossoneri.

The Mexican, who was transferred for €35 million from Feyenoord to AC Milan in January, has played two matches and scored in both.

Spurs are in safe hands with Mathys Tel

Undoubtedly, the international could have been a great addition to the North London club, but with Tel’s arrival, it seems they’ll be in good hands.

Mathys Tel, who had 253 minutes of Bundesliga action before joining Tottenham, fits into Ange Postecoglou’s system thanks to his versatility.

However, much to his relief, once the deal was completed, manager Ange Postecoglou came out to say that these rumours were completely false.

Being young doesn’t take away from the great things he could achieve with the team, so we’ll have to wait and see how the manager integrates him and how this translates into goals.

Former Spurs boss hails Tottenham’s 'revelation' who has impressed

Thanks to the effort Tottenham’s players have put in after so many setbacks, they have finally seen a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

The North London club delighted their fans this past Sunday with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United.

Despite the protests outside the stadium, the players’ spirits did not drop—at least according to boss Ange Postecoglou.

One of the standout performers in the match was, without a doubt, Djed Spence.

Djed Spence resurfaces and shines for Tottenham

Former Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has kept a close eye on his old club and has frequently commented on their situation, particularly praising the young English full-back.

According to Tottenham News, Redknapp included Spence in his Team of the Week, alongside goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who returned after a long absence due to injury.

"Djed Spence has been a revelation in recent weeks for Spurs," he said. "It sounds crazy but one of the few positives of all these injuries is that he’s gotten so much game time and has made this position his own."

The 24-year-old’s rise with Spurs has largely been attributed to the club’s long list of injured players.

This is both good and bad news—while Spence has been able to prove his ability on the pitch, it is never ideal for the club to be dealing with injuries to key defenders.

The young Spurs talents making their mark on the pitch

Other young talents, such as Lucas Bergvall, have also made an impression both on and off the pitch like Spence.

A few matches ago, when Rodrigo Bentancur was visibly disheartened at full-time, it was Bergvall who reminded him to go and thank the fans who had come to support them.

According to Sofascore, Djed Spence has made 16 appearances in the 2024/25 season so far, contributing one goal and two assists across all competitions.

Not long ago, the defender was struggling in a system that didn’t quite suit him, and his future at the club was uncertain.

However, with the arrival of Ange Postecoglou, things have changed. Whether due to good or bad circumstances, Spence’s talent is now finally being recognised.

Serie A star opens up on why he rejected Tottenham in January

The winter transfer window has closed, but it left behind memories of players who could have joined the club.

Tottenham continue to fight for dominance in the Premier League after a challenging season, as seen in their victory over Manchester United on Sunday.

Despite the win—and the fact that the player who scored the decisive goal secured the three points—James Maddison has found himself at the centre of debate, with some arguing that Ange Postecoglou should be giving him more playing time.

But returning to transfers, the recently closed window left a bitter taste for those hoping to see a Canadian defender join the club.

Fikayo Tomori says 'no' to Spurs

Last month, rumours suggested that Tottenham were tracking AC Milan’s Fikayo Tomori.

Unfortunately, the club were unable to secure his signing, and now reports have emerged revealing why Tomori rejected Tottenham at the time.

Despite the North London club’s last-minute approach—following Radu Dragușin’s injury—sources in Italy claim the Canadian international turned down the offer because he did not want to leave Milan midway through the season.

However, reports suggest that Tomori never seriously considered leaving his club for Tottenham in the first place.

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano shared the defender’s stance in a tweet: "I never planned to leave AC Milan, that’s very clear and simple. I'm just happy to be at this club and as long as they want me, I want to stay."

Tottenham still have top-quality defenders

With that, it became clear that Spurs and, Ange Postecoglou’s urgent attempt to reinforce the squad, would not get their wish.

Fikayo Tomori could have brought technique, ball dominance, and pace to the defence, making him a valuable asset at the back.

Moreover, the Canadian hadn’t been enjoying the best spell at Milan, as the defender has not been a guaranteed starter this season.

However, all is not lost, as Spurs still have key defensive figures such as Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, and, hopefully soon, Radu Dragușin.
