Tottenham Hotspur executive chairman Daniel Levy could be given the chance to stay at the club by Qatari investors, according to The Guardian.

Prospective Spurs buyers are reportedly keen to retain Levy’s expertise and are willing to give him a 'controversial' new long-term contract to continue in his role, despite recent fan backlash.

Supporters’ discontent with Levy has been growing in recent weeks, with chants against the chairman echoing inside and outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

In the latest turn of events, fans are being urged to take part in a ‘sit-in’ after Sunday’s game against Manchester United amid ongoing takeover speculation.

According to The Guardian, Qatari investors want control of Spurs, but the proposed takeover could be a phased buyout.

One option being considered would see Levy remain on a management contract, even if Enic, which owns 86.91% of the club, becomes a minority shareholder.

While the identity of the Qatari bidders is unclear, The Guardian claims they are private individuals rather than a government-backed group, like the one that attempted to buy Man United two years ago.

Tottenham have been seeking outside investment for some time but are not yet in concrete takeover negotiations, as potential investors from America and the Middle East have not met the £3.75bn valuation.

Spurs have endured a disappointing Premier League season, winning just eight of their 24 games and sitting 14th in the table heading into Sunday’s match against Man United.

Amid fan unrest over Levy, concerns have also been growing over manager Ange Postecoglou’s future, though the club are not considering a change yet.

Tottenham have reportedly taken into account the severe injury crisis that has depleted Postecoglou’s squad in recent months, with 11 first-team players currently unavailable.

Tottenham Hotspur could look to sign star defender Cristian Romero down to a blockbuster new deal in the coming weeks, according to reports - with the Argentine potentially being set to become the club's highest-paid player thanks to his performances at centre-back in recent years at the north London outfit.

Romero joined Tottenham in the 2021-22 season from Atalanta, making 112 appearances for the club, including seven goals in all competitions - and with interest from elsewhere, Ange Postecoglou could look to tie his star man down to a new deal to keep him at the club.

Report: Tottenham to Make Romero Highest-Paid Star

But they could face competition from elsewhere

The report by TBR Football states that Spurs are ready to make Romero their highest paid player in a bid to retain his services in their squad in the coming years.

Romero is currently under contract for another two-and-a-half years in north London, but the club are thought to be ready to hand him a new deal - which will not only see him commit for the long-term, but also become the club's highest-earner over teammate and international superstar Son Heung-min, who reportedly earns £190,000-a-week.

The "unbelievable" Romero is thought to be attracting interest from La Liga and Champions League reigning holders Real Madrid, and with that in mind, that could complicate Tottenham's bid to keep Romero in their ranks.

However, TBR claim that their sources have stated that Spurs were looking to open talks with Romero last year and there has been communication between the player's representatives and Tottenham themselves. They are aware of potential interest, with Real addressing their centre-back options - though Arsenal star William Saliba is also amongst Real's top defensive targets.

There could be another issue, with Romero said to be frustrated with Tottenham's lack of progress since his arrival from Atalanta - and he even accused the Tottenham board of being the reason for the club's struggles in the current season. Romero has only played in one Champions League campaign since his move to the capital and that is a concern for him - and sources believe that the only way to retain his services is by winning the Europa League, which could gain automatic entry to the Champions League.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Cristian Romero has three goals in 40 caps for Argentina.

Tottenham, meanwhile, have potentially been looking at replacements in the form of Dean Huijsen, Antonio Silva and Marc Guehi to name but a few - however, Romero's long-term future is key for now and the club will look to strike a deal in the coming months.

Tottenham Hotspur could look to bolster their ranks with the signing of one of South America's best young talents, with Colombia midfielder Richard Rios reportedly in their sights after impressing for Brazilian outfit Palmeiras in recent months. However, they could face a potential hurdle in the race for his signature amid an expensive release clause.

Tottenham have struggled in the Premier League this season, winning just eight of their 24 top-flight games this season to remain in the bottom half of the table, and they will need a revamp in the summer amid a real injury crisis. Rios could be one of those men to change their tune - though reports have stated that it could cost Tottenham a lot of money to prise him from Palmeiras.

Report: Tottenham 'Set Sights' on Richard Rios

The midfielder would add plenty to Tottenham's ranks

The report from Fichajes states that Tottenham have set their sights on Rios as a potential reinforcement to their midfield ranks in the summer transfer window.

The Colombian star, who plays for Brazilian top-flight giants Palmeiras, has garnered interest from several top-flight clubs during his time in Brazil, although his high release clause could pose a problem for Ange Postecoglou's men.

Rios has become one of Palmeiras' best players since his arrival from the second division, with a dynamic approach in terms of both defensive work and attacking threat, and his performances for his home nation in the 2024 Copa America have prompted interest from the north London club for the 'freak athlete', as he was described by football analyst Ben Mattinson.

Postecoglou's staff see the midfielder's potential arrival as an opportunity to massively improve their ranks in the centre of the park - especially with the Aussie's tendency to rotate his midfield and even more so with their injury crisis suffered this season.

However, despite interest from West Ham United and Nottingham Forest, Rios has a €100million (£83million) release clause built into his contract at Palmeiras, which represents a 'significant obstacle' for any of the interested sides. None of the trio are willing to pay that and so any deal going through will depend on Palmeiras' flexibility in negotiations.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Richard Rios has two goals in 19 caps for Colombia.

His future could be determined in the coming weeks, and the pull of a move to Europe alongside pressure from other interested clubs could be key factors in a departure from the Brazilian Serie A.

Tottenham Hotspur's poor season in the Premier League still hasn't seen Ange Postecoglou sacked, with opinion split within the club's fan base over his future in north London - but if Daniel Levy is to appease the supporters that want his exit from the club, he must act now if Spurs are to progress thanks to one manager being on the market.

Postecoglou's men have won just eight of their 24 Premier League games, with six of those coming in their first 12 outings in the top-flight. Injuries evidently haven't helped with the majority of the Spurs defence being ruled out by injury for lengthy periods, and that has had a negative effect on the team going forwards. But despite their results, Postecoglou should still be doing better in the role.

Tottenham Should Sack Ange Immediately if Inzaghi Comes to Fore

The Italian boss is simply too good to turn down

Plenty of managers have been linked with the potential to come in for his services, including Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola, Marco Silva and more to name but a few. However, it's the links to Simone Inzaghi that has really got fans thinking - and it would actually be quite a smart move to let Postecoglou go at this moment in time with the guarantee that Inzaghi would come in.

Tottenham are now out of both domestic cups having been eliminated from the League Cup on Thursday and the FA Cup on Sunday, and it means that the club are only really relying on the Europa League to find silverware.

Inzaghi does have that European expertise. It was the Italian who dragged Inter Milan through to the Champions League final against eventual winners Manchester City in 2023, and they were only eliminated in the round of 16 last season, whilst a fourth-placed finish in the newfound 'league phase' has seen Inter advance to the round of 16 as a seeded option.

Regardless of their continental adventures, Inzaghi has been a superb appointment at Inter in general. Winning the Serie A title with ease last season after picking up 94 points in the league, he's also won two Italian cups and three Italian Super Cups, with Thierry Henry calling him a 'genius' as a result.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Inzaghi has won 128 of his 193 games in charge of Inter Milan.

It's no surprise that he's been highly-hyped, and if reports stating that he has a contract offer on the table are true, Tottenham must get rid of Postecoglou immediately; not because of his poor season, but simply due to Inzaghi's superb credentials which have seen him so far drag Inter to the knockout stages of all of their competitions and second in the league, just one point from the top of the table.

Tottenham Hotspur have earmarked Jamie Gittens among the names at the top of their summer wishlist despite Hotspur Way recruitment chiefs being aware that additional interest from Arsenal and Chelsea could lead to a bidding war for the Borussia Dortmund star, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Although Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou improved his attacking options in the final hours of the winter transfer window, thanks to Mathys Tel joining on a loan deal which includes a £45million option to make the switch permanent, he is tempted to battle with Gunners head coach Mikel Arteta and Blues chief Enzo Maresca for further additions in the coming months.

Kevin Danso and Antonin Kinsky were also among Tottenham's arrivals during the early stages of 2025, with the latter completing a £12.5million move from Slavia Prague, but the north Londoners are on course to face stiff competition from their counterparts at the Emirates Stadium and Stamford Bridge as they go in search of winning the race for Gittens.

Spurs Identify Gittens as Potential Acquisition

Winger more likely to switch if Dortmund's form does not improve

Tottenham have identified Gittens as a prime target for the summer, according to GMS sources, despite an awareness that Dortmund will hold out for a lucrative fee after Arsenal and Chelsea have been among the sides also showing interest in offering an opportunity to embark on a fresh challenge ahead of next season.

The Bundesliga heavyweights slapped a £83million price tag on their winger heading into the winter transfer window, which was enough to ensure he remained at Signal Iduna Park instead of making a mid-season switch, and Spurs will have to make him their club-record signing if they want to beat the likes of the Gunners and Blues to his signature.

Tottenham have been given fresh optimism in their pursuit as GMS sources have been informed that Dortmund are more likely to cash in on Gittens if they miss out on securing Champions League qualification, which is a serious possibility after they have fallen to 11th in the German top flight despite his contributions in the final third of the pitch.

Although that could open the door for Spurs - along with domestic counterparts Arsenal and Chelsea - the England under-21 international will still have the chance to stay in his current surroundings beyond the end of the season as he has three-and-a-half years remaining on a contract which allows him to pocket close to £50,000-per-week.

Bayern Munich are threatening to attempt to keep Gittens in Germany if he leaves Dortmund, which will complicate matters for Postecoglou as he seeks fresh impetus in his frontline, but GMS sources have learned that no progress has been made as he is fully focused on ending the campaign in fine form instead of plotting a move.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Jamie Gittens has been averaging a goal every 143 minutes in the Champions League this season

Londoners Made Tentative Gittens Approach

Capital club were keen to discover availability during winter window

GMS sources have been told that Tottenham's interest in Gittens has not faltered despite being left frustrated when they made a tentative approach to discover his availability last month, but Arsenal and Chelsea could provide obstacles in their efforts to get the deal over the line in the summer as they have been keeping an eye on his progress at Dortmund.

The 20-year-old has been described as 'incredible' by Nuri Sahin, who was replaced in the Signal Iduna Park dugout by Niko Kovac during the early stages of 2025 after falling adrift in the race for Champions League qualification, and his performances have resulted in there being growing interest.

Tottenham are aware that they could become embroiled in a bidding war due to facing fierce competition for Gittens after deciding to keep an eye on top-level wide attackers, GMS sources understand, but there is hope that Dortmund's stance over Gittens' future could change in the summer.

GMS sources recently revealed that Spurs are increasingly open to sanctioning the departure of captain Heung-min Son, at a time when the futures of Richarlison and loanee Timo Werner are also uncertain, and it has resulted in scouring the market for potential replacements as early preparations are made for next term.

Tottenham Hotspur have earmarked Fulham boss Marco Silva as one of the candidates to replace Ange Postecoglou at the end of the season, according to Inter Live.

Spurs reportedly have Silva on their shortlist of managerial targets, alongside Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi and Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola.

The Lilywhites have endured a difficult second season under Postecoglou but have yet to make a final decision on the Australian’s future in North London.

Postecoglou may be given more time following the FA Cup fourth-round loss to Aston Villa, with a severe injury crisis taken into account amid a poor run of results.

Tottenham Eyeing Fulham’s Marco Silva

To replace Postecoglou in North London

According to Inter Live, Tottenham have internally discussed replacing Postecoglou with Silva at the end of the season and have identified the Portuguese tactician as a potential candidate.

Silva, who previously coached Watford and Everton, is now in his fourth season at Fulham and has less than 18 months remaining on his contract, which expires in June 2026.

The Portuguese coach, praised as a ‘genius’ and 'better than Postecoglou' by talkSPORT, is aiming for his best Premier League finish with the Cottagers this season, with the club sitting ninth in the table after 24 games.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Fulham have only lost twice in all competitions since December 1, winning six of their last 14 games.

Tottenham, meanwhile, have lost four of their last seven matches and sit nine points below Fulham in 14th place.

Spurs host fellow Premier League strugglers Manchester United next and will face Silva’s Fulham in March.

The two sides played out a 1-1 draw in their first meeting of the season, with Brennan Johnson and Tom Cairney on the scoresheet.

Tottenham Hotspur are among the Premier League clubs eyeing a summer move for Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Matheus Cunha, according to AS.

Spurs are said to be following the 25-year-old’s development at Molineux ‘very closely’ as he could leave Wolves after the season despite recently signing a new contract.

Cunha reportedly has a release clause set at £62.5m, which will become active in the summer, although it could potentially be negotiated down if serious interest emerges.

The Brazilian forward was linked with a January move to several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, who remain attentive to his situation in the West Midlands.

Tottenham Eyeing Matheus Cunha

Despite his new Molineux deal

According to AS, Cunha’s renewal until June 2029 does not rule out a potential departure in the coming months, with several Premier League sides monitoring his situation.

While Wolves were reluctant to part ways with the Brazilian mid-season amid their ongoing relegation battle, they could be open to offers at the end of the campaign.

Cunha, praised as 'one of the best forwards in the Premier League' by WT Analysis, has been Wolves’ top scorer this term, netting 12 goals and providing four assists in 25 appearances across all competitions.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Cunha went goalless in the Premier League in January before finally finding the net on February 1 in the 2-0 win over Aston Villa.

Tottenham were one of the busiest clubs in the Premier League during the January transfer window, welcoming three signings in Antonin Kinsky, Kevin Danso, and Mathys Tel to boost their injury-hit squad.

Ange Postecoglou’s side have endured a difficult run of results lately, winning just three of their last seven games.

They sit 14th in the Premier League heading into their home clash against Manchester United on Sunday.

Gabriel Agbonlahor believes Tottenham Hotspur should replace Ange Postecoglou with Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola at the end of the season amid their worrying run of form.

The Lilywhites have endured a difficult few months under the Australian coach, and while injuries are partly to blame, Agbonlahor feels a managerial change is also needed in the summer.

While the former Aston Villa striker thinks Postecoglou should stay until the end of the season, he has tipped Spurs to appoint ‘a top manager’ like Iraola before the new campaign.

However, he admitted it would be difficult to justify why the Spanish tactician should consider leaving Bournemouth amid their impressive Premier League season.

Spurs Tipped to Appoint Andoni Iraola

After the Premier League season finishes

Speaking on talkSPORT, Agbonlahor suggested Spurs should target Iraola as their next manager but keep Postecoglou in charge for now:

“Top managers now, Iraola, all these managers, like they'll find you out, and that's what happens.

“Spurs need to probably keep Ange, I would, for now, also because who's out there to go and get?

“And I would go and get, maybe the Bournemouth manager.

“But why would he [leave Bournemouth]? That's the problem.”

Iraola, who took charge of Bournemouth in June 2023, led the Cherries to their best-ever Premier League result in his debut season, securing 48 points and a 12th-place finish.

The Spaniard, praised as 'incredible' by Pep Guardiola, is aiming even higher this season, with Bournemouth in contention for European spots and sitting comfortably in seventh.

The Cherries are 13 points ahead of Tottenham, who are in 14th place after 24 games, and defeated Spurs 1-0 at home earlier this season thanks to a first-half goal from Dean Huijsen.

The two sides will meet again on March 9, in what could serve as another North London audition for Iraola, who will enter the final 12 months of his Bournemouth contract in July.

Tottenham Hotspur are among several Premier League clubs considering a summer move for Fiorentina forward Moise Kean, according to Tuttosport.

Spurs are reportedly keeping tabs on the Italy international with ‘great interest’ and see Kean as one of the options to bolster Ange Postecoglou’s frontline after the season.

Tuttosport claim Tottenham representatives were expected to attend Fiorentina’s 2-1 away loss at Inter Milan on Monday to watch Kean in action against the reigning Serie A champions.

The 24-year-old’s release clause is said to be appealing to interested clubs, standing at €52m (£43m).

Spurs Interested in Moise Kean

Among his Premier League suitors

According to Tuttosport, Kean’s impressive season in Italy has drawn attention from multiple English clubs, who could push for the 24-year-old’s return to the Premier League.

Kean had an underwhelming four-year spell at Everton, making just 39 appearances and recording four goals and four assists before leaving for Juventus in 2023.

The 24-year-old, praised as 'exceptional' by JuveFC, has rediscovered his scoring touch and is now enjoying life at Fiorentina, where he moved last summer on a five-year deal.

The ex-Everton striker has scored 15 goals in 23 league appearances this season, more than Dominic Solanke and Son Heung-min have managed in the Premier League combined this term (13).

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Kean ranks second in the Serie A top scorers list this season, behind only Atalanta’s Mateo Retegui, who has 20 goals.

Tottenham had a busy January transfer window, bringing in Antonin Kinsky, Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel to boost Postecoglou’s injury-hit squad.

The Lilywhites have endured a difficult run of results recently, losing four of their last seven games, including a 2-1 FA Cup fourth-round defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday.

Tottenham Hotspur chief Daniel Levy may already be looking at potential replacements for Ange Postecoglou after the club exited both domestic cup competitions earlier in the week - with reports linking Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola with a move to the club.

The loss to Aston Villa on Sunday in the FA Cup saw Postecoglou bow out of both domestic cups in the space of three days, and with a poor standing in the Premier League, he's under immense pressure in the capital. As a result, other managers have been linked - and that could see Iraola come to the helm as a result of his superb work at Bournemouth this season, with reports from Italy suggesting that the Athletic Bilbao legend could be on Spurs' shortlist over the summer.

The Spaniard has been one of the managers of the season

The report by Inter Live states that Tottenham's loss to Liverpool in the semi-final of the League Cup was a 'blow', and with only the Europa League left for Spurs to win before they complete a 17th trophy less season, chairman Levy is considering sacking Postecoglou at the end of the season.

As a result, there are candidates being drawn up to replace the beleaguered Aussie boss - with Iraola being one of them. The Bournemouth gaffer has been noted as doing 'very well' at the Vitality Stadium, where they currently occupy seventh place in the Premier League table - which would be enough to qualify for the Europa Conference League as long as both domestic cup winners finish in the top six of the division, due to the results in domestic cup competitions dictating who plays continental football.

Spurs, meanwhile, are currently 14th in the Premier League, nine places below their fifth-placed finish last time out - and not only do leaders Liverpool have more than double their points, but they are also at least 14 points from a Champions League place.

Fulham boss Marco Silva and Inter Milan gaffer Simone Inzaghi have also been linked with a move to north London via the report, but Iraola has been linked for quite some time and his exploits in the Premier League have not gone unnoticed even by reports from abroad.

Iraola Would be an Attractive Appointment For Tottenham

His Bournemouth side have taken the league by storm

That is the benchmark for where Tottenham wish to be at present, and Iraola's attractive brand of football - alongside his development of players such as Milos Kerkez, Antoine Semenyo, Justin Kluivert and Dean Huijsen, amongst others - has massively increased his profile in the last 18 months, being called 'one of the best managers in the game'.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Andoni Iraola has won 30 of his 71 games in charge of Bournemouth.

Iraola came to Bournemouth at the start of last season in place of Gary O'Neil, and although it took the Basque star 10 games to win his first clash in the Premier League, the south coast outfit shot up the table from there with seven wins and one draw from nine - setting them up to finish 12th at the end of the campaign.

It shouldn't be a surprise that Bournemouth have continued in that fashion this season, even despite losing star goalscorer Dominic Solanke to Tottenham - and Iraola would see a return to his former star should he make the move to north London.
