Tottenham Hotspur will turn their sights towards attempting to sell Giovani Lo Celso, Emerson Royal, Djed Spence, Sergio Reguilon, Bryan Gil and Richarlison after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg completes his Hotspur Way departure by joining Ligue 1 giants Marseille, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Spurs have been busy strengthening their squad ahead of Greek-Australian tactician Ange Postecoglou's second season at the helm, with Archie Gray sealing a switch worth up to £30million after impressing in a Leeds United shirt, while a fresh loan deal has seen Timo Werner make a quickfire return from RB Leipzig.

Lucas Bergvall has also arrived at Tottenham, having snubbed the opportunity to join Barcelona, but technical director Johan Lange and chairman Daniel Levy are aiming to oversee exits in the coming weeks as outgoings will result in the budget growing as the August 30 deadline nears.

Spurs Eager to Find Destinations for Lo Celso and Emerson

Postecoglou wants to secure cash to make three more signings

Tottenham will focus on seeking buyers for £177,000-per-week duo Lo Celso and Emerson after Hojbjerg's exit is rubber-stamped, according to GMS sources, as Postecoglou is desperate to streamline his squad and boost his chances of having enough cash to bring in three further fresh faces over the course of the next month.

Spurs have allowed their Denmark international to join Marseille, with them set to recoup up to £11.7million after the defensive midfielder made it clear that he was not entertaining the possibility of penning a new contract, but the capital club are keen for his departure to be the beginning of a mass exodus.

GMS sources have been informed that Aston Villa is a potential destination for Lo Celso, who has struggled to leapfrog James Maddison in the pecking order, but a deal is not advanced despite the Midlands outfit showing interest since qualifying for the upcoming campaign's Champions League.

Although Spurs forked out a considerable sum for the Argentina international, having parted with £27.3million to strike a permanent agreement with Real Betis after already paying £15million to secure his services on loan, Postecoglou is eager to cash in as the creative midfielder has found it difficult to produce his best form on a regular basis.

Emerson is proving to be tricky to budge because of the figures surrounding a potential summer move, GMS sources have learned, and that resulted in a switch to Italian heavyweights AC Milan failing to go through after the Brazilian initially appeared set to embark on a fresh challenge at the San Siro.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Emerson Royal has made 101 appearances for Tottenham Hotspur, contributing four goals and two assists along the way

Spence, Reguilon and Gil Put on Market

North Londoners also willing to offload Richarlison

GMS sources have been told that Spence, Reguilon and Gil are up for grabs on the right terms, with the latter wanting to complete a permanent exit after struggling to break into the forefront of Tottenham's plans since heading to north London in a £21.6million deal which saw Erik Lamela also head in the opposite direction to Sevilla.

The winger is hopeful of a suitor heading to the negotiating table this week as he remains desperate to have his future cleared up ahead of the new campaign getting underway, but it remains unclear whether returning to his former employers is a genuine option after being linked with luring him back to the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.

Although Spence has been given hope of getting his Tottenham career off the ground by securing game time during the early stages of pre-season, his long-term future remains uncertain and going on the tour of Asia would not necessarily mean that he will still be in his current surroundings when the transfer window shuts.

GMS sources recently revealed that Spurs ended the right-back's chances of making a permanent move to Genoa, following a productive loan spell with the Serie A outfit, by refusing to lower their £8.5million demands when his admirers were determined to reach a compromise in the region of £6million.

Brazil international Richarlison is available for transfer if Tottenham can get the vast majority of their £60million investment back, GMS sources understand, while Reguilon is very likely to move onto pastures new after being unable to work his way into contention for game time since Postecoglou headed into the hot-seat.

Spurs would drastically improve their financial situation if they succeed in selling Lo Celso, Emerson, Spence, Reguilon, Gil and Richarlison as they are currently on contracts worth a combined £318,000-per-week, and the departures would open the door to invest in the current squad.

Tottenham could struggle to sign Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze due to a complex deal structure with a £60m release clause.

Spurs may shift focus to Wolverhampton's Pedro Neto, who is reportedly more attainable but the fee remains similar.

Eze would be a great addition for Tottenham, showcasing his talent in the Premier League with his striking ability and dribbling skills.

Tottenham Hotspur's vision of bringing a wide midfielder with creativity into Ange Postecoglou's squad could hit a crossroads with six weeks of the transfer market left - with Ben Jacobs exclusively telling GIVEMESPORT that a deal to bring the Crystal Palace winger to north London could be complicated and that could see a deal for Wolverhampton Wanderers star Pedro Neto.

Eze has just enjoyed the best season of his career so far and that has seen links form - despite interest from Manchester City last summer. With Palace having sold Michael Olise they may be reluctant to do a deal, but with his release clause being revealed, Tottenham know exactly what they need to do to land their man.

Eberechi Eze Has Been on Tottenham's Radar

The Palace winger's form has given him plenty of suitors

Eze had been linked with Tottenham earlier in the transfer window, with Postecoglou's men wanting to bring in a winger who can create chances for their strike force of Richarlison and Son Heung-min to capitalise upon.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Eberechi Eze has 26 goals and 15 assists in the Premier League in just 112 games.

Not only Eze, but Neto has also been touted with a move, whilst Rennes youngster Desire Doue has also supposedly been on their coattails - however, with Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich also supposedly in the market for his services, that could be a tough deal to pull off and at present, they have not yet decided upon a target to press forward with completing a deal for.

Jacobs: Eze Deal 'Could be Complicated'

Olise's move took weeks to negotiate and Eze could be similar

Speaking exclusively to GIVEMESPORT, Jacobs states that whilst Tottenham are interested in the Palace winger, they could find any deal complicated and instead could turn their attentions to Wolves' Neto. He said:

"Spurs have Eberechi Eze on their list of options, but any deal is complicated. Eze has a £60m release clause which, like Michael Olise's one was, is not routine to trigger.

"Percentages of it go to Crystal Palace, QPR (Eze's former club) and the player himself. I'm told Eze ideally wants to stay in London, which is good news for Spurs, and even Arsenal should they enter the race."

"Palace still want to hang on to Eze, and Spurs could instead turn their attention to Pedro Neto. Wolves are slightly more willing sellers at the right price, but there won't be much difference in the ballpark fee."

Eze Would be Ideal for Tottenham

Ange Postecoglou and Eze are a match made in heaven

Eze - described as a "superstar" by Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher - would be an incredible signing for Tottenham after showcasing his talents in the Premier League over the past four years and for England on the international stage after some impressive cameos at EURO 2024.

The former Queens Park Rangers man endured his best goalscoring season for the Eagles with 11 Premier League strikes, and with his youthful, developmental years behind him, Eze's maturity and responsibility has come to the fore - which he has taken in his stride.

A player who is a strong set-piece taker - which Tottenham will know after his free-kick against them in north London last season - alongside being a superb dribbler by effortlessly gliding across the pitch, Eze is in the form of his life.

And in a side that is naturally more attacking than Palace, he could be given the tools to properly excel in north London.

Brentford may decrease Ivan Toney's asking price to £50 million, due to reduced interest from top clubs.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd have ruled out signing Toney, impacting Brentford's negotiations.

West Ham and Tottenham are still interested in the striker, and could battle it out for his signature.

Brentford are expected to reduce their asking price for Ivan Toney down to £50 million, with Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham the only two clubs remaining in the race to sign him, according to the Sun.

The Bees had previously been suggested to be requesting in the region of £60 million to £80 million for Toney's signature. However, the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are understood to no longer hold an interest in the player, forcing the west London club to abandon their hefty demands.

While Tottenham and West Ham are expected to step-up their efforts to sign the England international, Thomas Frank's side have conceded that they're unlikely to acquire anything over £50 million for their most prized asset. Brazilian striker Igor Thiago has already arrived from Club Brugge in a £31 million deal as Toney's replacement, and Frank doesn't believe he can feasibly accommodate both players in his squad.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd Rule out Move for Toney

The striker remains eager to leave

During an electrifying 2022/23 season, where he netted 21 goals across all competitions, Toney was one of the most highly sought after forwards in English football. However, a scandal that saw him banned for eight months from football potentially damaged his standing in the game.

The former Newcastle man returned in January earlier this year, scoring four goals in 17 appearances in the second half of the campaign and was labelled as being "world-class" by Frank. Brentford had hoped to ignite a bidding war for the player, with the array of suitors that had been linked to the striker re-emerging, and even underwent succession planning by signing Thiago, but no such auction ensued.

After being linked with him for several months, it was thought Arsenal may return for Toney. However, the Gunners ruled out a move for the maverick number nine earlier this summer, amid rumours they don't like the player's character.

Chelsea, who are in the market for a player who can compete with Nicolas Jackson, had been courting Toney, but ultimately deemed him too old for their project at 28.

It was reported as recently as this week that United remain interested in the Northampton-born man, but the Sun's report suggests that the £36.5 million arrival of Joshua Zirkzee may indeed put an end to this interest.

As a result of this decline in interest, Brentford have folded on their staunch asking price, which the Sun indicate has dropped to £50 million. With Toney still reportedly eager to leave for a bigger club, and Brentford eager to sell, it appears the west London outfit have lost their leverage in potential negotiations.

West Ham and Tottenham Remain Interested

Both sides are desperate for a striker

Not being able to sell would scupper Brentford's plans, having prepare for their talisman's exit for some time. However, not all hope is lost for Frank, with West Ham and Tottenham reportedly still looking to sign the player.

The Hammers are pursuing a replacement for 34-year-old Michail Antonio, who is entering the latter stages of his career. Toney has been mooted as a potential target for Julen Lopetegui, although stronger links to Aston Villa's Jhon Duran have circulated.

Meanwhile, Tottenham have a genuine interest in the Euro 2024 striker, as they look to supply Son Heung-Min with competition. The arrival of Toney at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium could liberate the South Korean to be used out wide more frequently.

Tottenham could swoop in for Scott McTominay, who had been the subject of a bid from Fulham.

McTominay has a year left on his Manchester United deal, with a potential move being sanctioned this summer.

Wan-Bissaka might also leave United, with West Ham interested in acquiring the right-back.

Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to hijack Fulham's move for midfielder Scott McTominay, who is valued by Manchester United at £40 million, according to the Sun.

McTominay managed double figures for goals last season for United across all competitions, netting seven in the league in a prolific campaign. This form has attracted interest from a number of Premier League clubs, with Fulham said to have had a bid in the region of £17 million rejected for the Scot.

Southampton and Newcastle are also said to want the 27-year-old, who has a year remaining on his current deal at Old Trafford. However, the Sun have reported that Spurs have joined the race to sign McTominay, as they look to bolster their midfield this summer and find an alternative to Conor Gallagher.

Spurs Interested in McTominay

The midfielder will be allowed to leave the north-west this summer

With 12 months until his contract with Manchester United expires, McTominay could be about to leave the club he's been at for the entire duration of his footballing career, since the age of five. In this time, the box-to-box midfielder has made 252 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring 29 goals.

Although Erik ten Hag is reportedly keen to hold onto Scotland's talisman, he's not deemed a first choice option in any role within the team, and thus the United hierarchy have made the decision to sanction a move away for him this summer. The north-west outfit have slapped a £40 million asking price on the player, and if a sale is to materialise, the club would of course avoid losing him for nothing in 2025.

With Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro arriving for £36.5 million and £52 million respectively, United need to sell players to make further acquisitions, and McTominay's departure could help raise these finances. Fulham's opening bid of £17 million falls way below Dan Ashworth's valuation, but the Cottagers are expected to return with an improved offer.

However, as revealed by the Sun, Tottenham are looking to leapfrog the west Londoners in the race to sign McTominay, viewing the goalscorer as the ideal alternative to Gallagher. The Chelsea man was said to be one of Ange Postecoglou's primary targets in this window, but the Blues' staunch demands of £40 million putting the Lilywhites off making a move.

Whether Tottenham will reach £40 million for McTominay - described as a "Rolls-Royce" by Scotland manager Steve Clarke - remains to be seen, although the substantial competition from the likes of Fulham, Newcastle, Southampton and Galatasaray could spark a bidding war.

Wan-Bissaka Could Also Leave United

West Ham are interested

As United look to continue their pursuit of incomings, more outgoings are likely to ensue. Alongside McTominay, Aaron Wan-Bissaka could be set for a move down south to London, with West Ham interested in signing the right-back.

The Hammers are in the market for a full-back, with Vladamir Coufal approaching the latter stages of his career and Ben Johnson completing a move to Ipswich. Wan-Bissaka is surplus to requirements at Old Trafford, and could collect a significant fee given his reputation in the game as a dependable defender. It's understood that United would be looking to recoup close to the £50 million they paid for the former Crystal Palace man back in 2019.

Highlights

Leicester City are interested in Tottenham's Oliver Skipp, as they look for more Premier League proven options.

Skipp's lack of playing time with Spurs could lead him to Leicester, although a deal could be dependent on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's future.

Postecoglou is aiming to enhance his own squad's depth, targeting Wolves' Pedro Neto.

Leicester City are interested in signing Tottenham midfielder Oliver Skipp this summer, with the north London club willing to sanction a deal for the player, according to Football Insider.

Skipp started just five games under Ange Postecoglou last season, with the likes of Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur and Pape Sarr clearly ahead of him in the pecking order. The Englishman may thus be keen on leaving Spurs for more regular game time, with Leicester lining up as a potential suitor.

The Foxes are reportedly eyeing up moves for a number of experienced Premier League midfielders, after losing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea. New boss Steve Cooper has identified Skipp as a candidate to provide additional depth and quality to his squad, with Tottenham willing to sell, but perhaps bound by the future Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Leicester Want Skipp

The Englishman struggled for minutes last season

Developing through the Spurs academy, Skipp made his breakthrough in first team football on loan at Norwich City in the 2020/21 season, making 45 appearances in the Championship as the Canaries won promotion back to the top flight.

Since then, the former England under-21 international has gone on to establish himself as a valuable squad member at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, making 106 total appearances for his boyhood club. Now, however, could be his time to exit the Middlesex outfit, with Postecoglou looking to improve the overall level of his ensemble as he looks to launch another assault on the top four.

Leeds were said to be keen on Skipp earlier in this window, but the emergence of Leicester as a potential suitor could change things for the player. The 23-year-old will be eager to remain in the Premier League, and the East Midlands side's proposal will be able to offer him this after they won the Championship back in May.

Football Insider suggest that Cooper sees Skipp as a complementary addition to the likes of Wilfred Ndidi and another Spurs academy graduate, Harry Winks. Tottenham will hold the bargaining power in negotiations, with the midfield anchor still contracted to the club until 2027, but it's said that a fee wouldn't be too substantial.

However, the north Londoners stance on allowing Skipp to leave may be dependent on the future of Hojbjerg, who has been heavily linked with a £45 million move to Fulham with the Cottagers seeing him as a replacement for Palhinha.

Skipp, described by Postecoglou as "outstanding", would offer Leicester impressive ball retention and the ability to screen the back four effectively.

Tottenham Interested in Wolves Star

The Lilywhites have already signed Werner in this window

While further midfield acquisitions could be reliant on the club shifting the likes of Hojbjerg and Skipp, Postecoglou is eager to add more explosive firepower to his front line and has the current squad space to do so. Timo Werner has already arrived from RB Leipzig on another loan spell, but adding another wide player to compete with the German and the likes of Brennan Johnson and Richarlison is on the Australian's agenda.

Spurs reportedly 'have interest' in Wolves star Pedro Neto, who could be available for a fee in the region of £50 million this summer. The Portugal international has struggled with injuries in recent seasons, and thus the West Midlands club are listening to offers for their electric wide forward in this window.

Highlights

Tottenham's Ange Postecoglou is being considered for the England managerial role after Gareth Southgate's resignation.

Southgate stepped down after England's Euro 2024 loss to Spain, with the FA seeking a new manager for the 2026 World Cup.

Postecoglou joins a list of potential candidates for the position, including Thomas Tuchel and Mauricio Pochettino.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou is high up on the FA's list of potential replacements for Gareth Southgate, according to an exclusive report by the Telegraph. The Spurs head coach is currently preparing for his second season in charge of the north London outfit, but could potentially now be offered an alternative position.

England are currently looking for a new manager after Southgate announced on Tuesday that he would be stepping down following Euro 2024. Having led the Three Lions to the final of the competition, only to be beaten 2-1 by Spain, the former Crystal Palace man stated that the time was right for him to step down.

While reports had suggested that the likes of Lee Carsley, Thomas Tuchel and Mauricio Pochettino were among seven candidates being considered for the role, the FA have now added Postecoglou to the mix as they continue to search for the right man to lead England into the 2026 World Cup in two years time.

FA Have Tracked Postecoglou For Years

Spurs manager fulfills criteria wanted for next England coach

Postecoglou's inclusion on the list of Southgate's potential successors should come as no surprise. According to the Telegraph's report, technical director John McDermott has followed his career closely ever since he started coaching in Australia and has admired his work since then.

In his first year as Spurs manager, the 58-year-old caught the eye early on as he got his side playing excellent football, even taking the north London club to the top of the Premier League for a period of time. Although Tottenham experienced a collapse in the second half of 2023/24, he remains highly thought of by many.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Ange Postecoglou became the first coach ever to win Premier League Manager of the Month in the first three months of a season in 2023/24.

Postecoglou reportedly fits the criteria that the FA have set out in finding England's next permanent manager. They are after a good man-manager who can build on the 'culture' started by the Three Lions' most recent head coach, and they believe that Spurs' current manager fits that description.

The search is not being restricted to English managers, as the FA are keen to get the right man for the job. They are also not keen to rush replacing Southgate and have not ruled out an interim head coach being in place for England's Nations League fixtures against the Republic of Ireland and Finland in September.

Postecoglou to Join List of Potential Replacements

Eddie How and Graham Potter among the frontrunners

News of Postecoglou's inclusion comes after news broke that seven managers were under consideration for the England managerial position. Indeed, it was the Telegraph who broke the news that Eddie Howe, Graham Potter, Tuchel, Pochettino and Carsley were the frontrunners for the role.

Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard were considered as outsiders for the position, but were also under consideration nonetheless. There have also been reports that the FA want Pep Guardiola to become the Three Lions' next manager, should he be interested in leaving Manchester City.

The newest report from the Telegraph states that it is currently England Under-21 coach Carsley who is the favourite to replace Southgate as the nation's senior manager. The former Everton man has been in his current position since July 2021, winning 23 out of his 29 games and leading his team to U21 European Championship goal in 2023.

Tottenham Hotspur are expected to up the ante in their pursuit of Conor Gallagher as boss Ange Postecoglou targets a minimum of three senior signings ahead of the transfer deadline.

Spurs' search for a new striker will go up a notch if Richarlison heads through the exit door after attracting interest from the Saudi Pro League.

Emerson Royal and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg are among the names that could move onto pastures new as Tottenham look to sanction outgoings.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou is looking to bring in a minimum of three senior signings between now and the end of the window.

A bid for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher is still expected. Spurs haven’t moved yet, since the England international's camp made it clear they didn’t want any Euro 2024 distractions. Although his current employers are open to a sale, they want in excess of £50m.

Stamford Bridge sources point to the £55m the club received from Manchester United for Mason Mount 12 months ago as a fair valuation-yardstick. Mount also had one-year remaining on his contract.

Spurs Unlikely to Increase Original Valuation of Gallagher

Atletico Madrid among competitors for midfielder's signature

Tottenham valued Gallagher at £35m at the same stage last year, and it's understood they have no plans to go too far north of this. The £40m they paid to Leicester City for James Maddison last summer is a similar price they hope to land Gallagher for. The slightly increased fee is down to an appreciation that Gallagher has risen in value due to form.

Atletico Madrid are Spurs’ main rival as it stands and have already made a bid. The La Liga club saw a verbal offer of £20m plus bonuses rejected last month. Now that Saul Niguez has joined Sevilla, albeit only on an initial loan, Atletico are trying to add another midfielder and Gallagher is relatively high on their list of targets.

Aston Villa are not expected to pursue Gallagher despite opening exploratory talks. Villa are instead finalising the transfer of Everton’s Amadou Onana in a deal worth around £50m.

Gallagher is content to stay at Chelsea and fight for his place and has been a model professional despite constant speculation over his future dating back to summer 2023 - Mauricio Pochettino even referred to him as being "priceless" last season.

However, the 24-year-old is aware of Chelsea’s desire to listen to offers and will be conscious he could fall down the pecking order under new head coach Enzo Maresca, which in turn could harm his chances of making England's squad for the 2026 World Cup.

But, with his contract due to expire in 2025, and no new deal close to date, Gallagher hasn’t definitively ruled out staying another year and entering free agency, even though this is precisely the scenario Chelsea are trying to avoid.

Postecoglou Braced for Richarlison Offers

Brazilian's exit would make striker signing a top priority

Tottenham are also in the market for a new striker and this will become an even more urgent priority should Richarlison depart.

Saudi dealmakers have already indicated they are prepared to pay close to £60m. Al-Ittihad and Al-Qadsiah have both expressed an interest in the Brazil international, and Spurs are now braced for offers.

Heung-min Son is also an ambitious Saudi target, but there is no chance the Spurs captain is sold this summer. The South Korean has previously ruled out a Saudi switch and the north Londoners will trigger a one-year extension, keeping him at the club until 2026. Al-Ahli still have Son on their radar but will have to play the long game and hope he changes his mind about heading to the Saudi Pro League.

Canada striker Jonathan David is one forward under consideration by Postecoglou. The Lille striker has entered into the final year of his contract and is expected to be available for around £25m. Tottenham have a long-standing interest in David, but could face competition from Chelsea, West Ham United and Newcastle United.

Spurs are also tracking Feyenoord’s Santiago Gimenez, but suggestions they have already bid for Brentford’s Ivan Toney or are pursuing Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke have been denied by sources.

Doue Pinpointed as Concrete Target in North London

Teenager's versatility has been identified as attractive trait

Tottenham still want another wide player, despite bringing back Timo Werner on loan from RB Leipzig. Rennes’ Desire Doue is a concrete target, with Postecoglou valuing his versatility. The 19-year-old can play on the left or right wing or as an attacking midfielder.

However, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are the first teams to place formal offers. Neither club has yet met Rennes' €60m asking price. PSG's offer is the highest with the total package understood to be in the region of €50m.

Rennes sources maintain they don't need to sell for financial reasons, putting the club in a stronger position to negotiate. PSG are intent on buying young and French talent where possible, so Doue ticks both boxes.

Postecoglou likes players who can play in more than one position. This was part of the push to land new £40m signing Archie Gray from Leeds United. Although Gray played at right-back for the Whites last season, the Greek-Australian tactician sees him as a midfielder.

Emerson and Hojbjerg Among Potential Outgoings

Capital club eager to recoup cash from departures

Tottenham are also busy working on outgoings despite Troy Parrott already joining AZ Alkmaar on a five-year contract. Emerson Royal is still expected to leave, but AC Milan’s interest has cooled after seeing a €10m bid rejected. Spurs want double that amount and are not expected to offer a cut-price deal, even though Emerson wants the move to Italy.

Borussia Dortmund and Al-Nassr are yet to bid, but both have the right-back on their list of options. Newly-promoted Saudi side Al-Qadsiah are another club to watch.

Spurs are planning for a Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg exit. The 28-year-old is into the final 12 months of his contract, meaning the capital club are willing to listen to offers for the Danish midfielder. Galatasaray are exploring a transfer and AC Milan also hold an interest. Atletico Madrid tried for Hojbjerg 12 months ago, but are more active on Gallagher at this stage.

Another potential departure is Sergio Reguilon, who has been discussed by Dortmund as a left-back option after last season's Champions League finalists failed to land top target Ian Maatsen, who has now joined Aston Villa.

Djed Spence will likely depart, with Spurs hoping new suitors come to the table. Genoa - where Spence was on loan last season - have failed to agree a cut-price fee with Tottenham. The Serie A club had an £8.5m option to buy, but offered under £4m (€5m). The modest fee presented was down to Spence's high wages. If Spence agrees to a pay cut, Genoa could return to the table.

Elsewhere, Spurs are calm about holding onto Mikey Moore, despite suggestions that PSG and Real Madrid want to sign the talented 16-year-old. Moore’s schoolboy contract turns into a professional one when he is 17 in August. The winger made two Premier League appearances last season and has been training with the first-team in pre-season.

Will Lankshear has signed a new five-year Tottenham contract, with the 19-year-old striker now expected to be loaned out. Sunderland, Wrexham and Hull City have all made early enquiries.
