Tottenham Hotspur are in talks with Brighton & Hove Albion over a potential loan deal for winger Wilson Odobert, and he's open to leaving for more game time, according to Fichajes.net.

Odobert was at the double for Spurs in a 3-1 win over AZ Alkmaar, which helped secure his side's place in the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals. The French attacker put in a fine display amid recently coming into Ange Postecoglou's first team following months on the sidelines.

The 20-year-old was absent from October until February after undergoing hamstring surgery, hampering his progress after arriving at the North London club last summer. He joined Ange Postecoglou's side in a £25 million rising to £30 million deal from Burnley, but he could be on the move with Brighton eyeing a loan.

Spurs Weigh Up Odobert Loan

Brighton are keen on the Frenchman

Odobert could be sent out on loan for more first-team opportunities and Brighton are admirers of the France U23 international. It's claimed that talks between the two clubs are 'ongoing' and he'd welcome a temporary move to continue his development at the Amex.

The Seagulls have a young squad shining and have a proven track record of developing top talent. Fabian Hurzeler has overseen an impressive debut season with Carlos Baleba, 21, and Yankuba Minteh, 20, shining, and Odobert could fit the German's system. His 'rapid' playing style has been talked up since he joined the Lilywhites.

Postecoglou was pleased with the French youngster and spoke highly of his character after his brace in the Europa League. But there's no suggestion that he'll hand him a prominent role in his side, especially with Son Heung-min still his starting left-winger and Mathys Tel arriving from Bayern Munich in January.

Spurs are eyeing offensive acquisitions this summer and have Southampton starlet Tyler Dibling and Borussia Dortmund's rising star Jamie Gittens on their shortlist. GIVEMESPORT sources indicate that Daniel Levy wants to sign both wingers, which will only further jeopardise Odobert's game time.

Marc Guehi is set to ask to leave Crystal Palace, and a return to Chelsea or a move to Tottenham Hotspur could be on the cards, according to CaughOffside.

The English defender has been with the Eagles since July 2021, when he arrived from Stamford Bridge in an £18 million deal, and he's been a massive hit at Selhurst Park. He's established himself as an England international during his spell with the South Londoners and appeared in 27 of his side's 28 Premier League games this season, helping them keep nine clean sheets.

Palace managed to keep hold of Guehi last summer when Newcastle United came calling, turning down a £55 million + £5 million in add-ons offer and standing firm on their £70 million valuation. But talk of a potential exit has continued amid his fine displays at the back for Oliver Glasner, and moving to one of London's 'big six' clubs could be a possibility.

Marc Guehi To Push For Palace Exit

Chelsea and Tottenham keen

Guehi will have a year left on his contract in the summer, and reports claim he's 'ready to hold a meeting' with Palace to ask for a departure. The 24-year-old has worn the Eagles' captain's armband this season, and his leadership and dominant presence at the back would be a massive loss for Glasner.

Chelsea have been eyeing their former academy prospect over the years and are in the race to sign him. The Blues have made several defensive acquisitions since Todd Boehly's takeover in May 2022, but finding a suitable Thiago Silva replacement has proven to be an issue.

Tottenham are also in the mix, and Ange Postecoglou continues to make alterations to a defence that has been wrecked by injuries. Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero have endured recurring fitness problems, forcing English midfielder Archie Gray to drop into central defence.

Kevin Danso arrived from Lens in the winter, but Spurs would likely view Guehi as an immediate starter, which suggests there are doubts over one of Van de Ven or Romero regarding their injury records. Radu Dragusin is out with an ACL injury, but his days in north London could be numbered with Guehi on their radar.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Marc Guehi completed every pass (32/32) and won every duel and every tackle (3/3) during the first half of Euro 2024.

Palace turned down a £70 million offer from the Lilywhites on January's deadline day, with chairman Steve Parish insisting he would cost 'superstar money'. But if the Englishman pushes for an exit, Parish may have no choice but to cash in. He is one of several players linked with a Selhurst exit, including Jean-Philippe Mateta, who is on Manchester United's shortlist.

Tottenham are eyeing a surprise appointment of Russell Martin this summer should they choose to sack Ange Postecoglou, according to TEAMtalk.

The Lilywhites have had a poor season so far and are battling in the bottom half of the table under the Australian coach, but qualified for the Europa League quarter-finals with a win over AZ Alkmaar on Thursday night.

That result has bought the former Celtic man more time with the club's owners and board, but fans are still questioning if he is the right man to lead the team, and as a result Spurs are looking at potential alternatives should they choose to make a change this summer.

Tottenham Eyeing Russell Martin

He was sacked by Southampton earlier this season

Spurs have been linked with a host of potential managerial candidates including the likes of Eden Terzic and Simone Inzaghi in recent months, with lots of speculation surrounding the future of Postecoglou.

But a new name has now reportedly entered the frame for the job in former Southampton manager Martin, with Tottenham chiefs considering him to be a young prospect with an attractive playing style.

Martin was sacked by the Saints earlier this season after leading them to just five points at Christmas following promotion, but earned big praise from Pep Guardiola and there is a belief among the North London club that his playing style and ideas are better suited to a team with more quality than what he had at St Mary's.

The 39-year-old would be open to returning to the Premier League for a fresh challenge and Spurs are admirers of his talents, but ultimately a move for him is considered unlikely at this stage because of how he performed at Southampton.

Tottenham fans would undoubtedly be unhappy with the appointment should Postecoglou move on, and there is still a chance that the current manager keeps his place with plans already underway for the next summer transfer window.

Daniel Levy is said to be personally pursuing a move for Lille midfielder Angel Gomes on a free transfer, while the club are also likely to bring in two new forwards this summer according to Fabrizio Romano.

Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on striking a summer deal for Roony Bardghji after deciding to monitor the Copenhagen star's situation as boss Ange Postecoglou seeks to lure more up-and-coming talent to Hotspur Way when the transfer window reopens for business, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Mathys Tel became the latest teenager to join Spurs, with the initial loan including a £45million option to buy after an agreement was reached with Bayern Munich a matter of hours before the winter deadline, but plans have been put in place to secure further highly-rated youngsters when the next opportunity arises.

Although Tottenham are already aware that they will have to fork out £20.9million for Kevin Danso in the coming months, thanks to there being an obligation to make his temporary switch from Lens permanent, Postecoglou is working closely with technical director Johan Lange and chairman Daniel Levy to identify more hidden gems.

Spurs Have Strong Bond with Bardghji Agents

North Londoners hoping to fight off competition for 19-year-old

Tottenham are aiming to beat Premier League rivals Manchester City and Newcastle United to the signing of Bardghji, according to GMS sources, and members of the north Londoners' recruitment department hope their good relationship with his agency will give them the edge if there is a bidding war when the transfer window reopens.

The wide forward has been identified by Spurs as their next Lucas Bergvall - who joined in a switch worth £8.5million from Djurgardens last year - after playing alongside the central midfielder for Sweden's under-21 side, and he has shown plenty of potential since breaking into Copenhagen's senior squad.

GMS sources have been informed that Tottenham will have an opportunity to land Bardghji for well under £10million during the summer as his contract is due to expire at the end of 2025 and his current employers want to avoid a situation where he walks away from the Parken Stadium as a free agent in the coming months.

The 19-year-old has been described as an 'outrageous talent' by scout Jacek Kulig and is firmly on Postecoglou's radar as he looks to give more highly-rated prospects a chance to earn their stripes in north London after also negotiating deals for Archie Gray, Wilson Odobert and Min-hyeok Yang when they were teenagers last year.

Tottenham are keeping tabs on Bardghji's situation due to an awareness that he is in line to be available for a cut-price fee, GMS sources have learned, but reigning Premier League champions Manchester City and Carabao Cup finalists Newcastle have adopted a similar stance and are threatening to provide the capital club with competition for his signature.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Roony Bardghji made three key passes when he was handed a 32-minute outing as Copenhagen lost to Manchester City in the Champions League 12 months ago

Postecoglou Not Deterred by Bardghji's Injury

Wide forward has been out of action with serious knee problem

GMS sources have been told that Tottenham have not been deterred in their pursuit despite Bardghji being on the sidelines since May with a serious injury as there is confidence that he can be bought at good value and still has plenty of potential waiting to be unlocked when he makes a full recovery.

The Superliga title-winner is poised to miss Copenhagen's UEFA Conference League round of 16 second leg tie against Chelsea on Thursday, having been ruled out for up to 12 months due to sustaining a knee problem last year, but he is edging towards making a comeback after working hard behind the scenes.

Although Tottenham are hoping that they can take advantage of their bond with Bardghji's representatives, GMS sources understand that Manchester City have had an eye on him in order to assess whether he is capable of reaching their level and Newcastle have a serious interest as they seek an exciting addition on the right-hand side of their attack.

Postecoglou is also looking to strengthen his options in other areas of the pitch and GMS sources recently revealed that the Greek-Australian tactician will have a golden opportunity to sign Dusan Vlahovic for a cut-price fee in the summer as Juventus have turned their attentions towards cashing in on the striker.

Everton's search for a new striker in the summer transfer window may have just taken a tumble, according to reports - with a move for former star Richarlison seemingly 'very difficult to do', with Tottenham Hotspur wanting to recoup most of the money they paid for the Brazilian.

Richarlison became a fan favourite at Everton after hitting double figures in all competitions throughout each of his four campaigns at Goodison Park - and although he left for Tottenham in 2022, he's still well-received by the Toffees. That could see David Moyes look to make a deal for a romantic return - but reports have stated that Everton could find it extremely difficult to complete.

Report: Everton Deal for Richarlison 'Very Difficult'

The Brazilian has been touted for a move back to his beloved Merseyside club

The report by Football Insider states that Everton will find it 'very difficult' to secure a reunion with Richarlison in the summer transfer window as the Toffees look to strengthen their striking ranks ahead of their move to their new Bramley Moore Dock stadium.

Tottenham, according to the report, will be keen on recouping as much of the £60millon they spent on Richarlison in the summer of 2022, with the Brazilian having barely featured for Spurs this season.

Richarlison has attracted interest from Everton ahead of the summer transfer window, which could see him return to Merseyside after a three-year hiatus, having left in a deal that was made due to their necessity to recoup finances. However, Everton will find it hard to reach Ange Postecoglou's asking price, despite their 'influx of cash' following The Friedkin Group's takeover on Merseyside.

Richarlison has been linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks, and has told friends that he wished to quit Spurs in January, according to the report - and although he would be keen on a Merseyside return, any deal is out of his hands due to the finances involved.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Richarlison has 20 goals in 48 games for Brazil.

Richarlison is still adored at Goodison Park, having scored 52 goals in just 152 games for the club as he played across their front three, and his love for the club is still remembered amongst fans as he became one of the heroes who kept them in the Premier League in the 2021/22 season when relegation looked a real possibility at one point.

Tottenham Hotspur have opened talks with Angel Gomes over a free transfer move this summer for Ange Postecoglou, according to Football Transfers.

The Lilywhites are likely to continue their squad overhaul under the manager this summer after a disappointing campaign which has seen them battling in the bottom half of the Premier League and failing to win a domestic trophy once again.

The club are still in the Europa League, although they trail from the first-leg in their tie with AZ Alkmaar ahead of Thursday's second leg, but plans are already underway for next season and Gomes is someone who has been identified as a top target.

Tottenham In Talks with Angel Gomes

England international will leave Lille

With doubts over the future of Yves Bissouma and James Maddison in their midfield department, Postecoglou sees England star Gomes as a perfect remedy to add quality and depth to the squad.

Gomes, who has been described as 'phenomenal' and a 'magician', is out of contract with Lille this summer and has already informed the Ligue 1 outfit that he wants to leave - which has seen his game time in France reduce as a result.

But there is plenty of interest in the central midfielder from the Premier League and Spurs are looking to beat the competition for his signature by opening talks with his representatives early to get a deal done early.

Born in Edmonton, London, a return to the north of the capital could be enticing for Gomes, who made his debut for the England senior team in 2024 under Lee Carsley and has since become a regular member of the squad.

Former club Manchester United and West Ham are also believed to be interested in his services but playing regularly for a team competing for European football more often than not could be the difference between convincing him to join and missing out to a rival.

He would also be a free transfer which would help Spurs to continue to plan their rebuild for the new season without eating too much into their budget for other positions. GMS sources have revealed that this is a deal chairman Daniel Levy personally wants to get over the line too, and the club are moving to get it done.

Tottenham Hotspur could trump top-flight rivals Manchester United and Manchester City in their pursuit of Sporting attacker Francisco Trincao in the summer transfer window, according to reports - with Ange Postecoglou thought to be 'monitoring the progress' of the attacker who has been called 'absolute magic' in the past.

Trincao has had an odd career path so far, having burst onto the scene at Braga before securing a move to Barcelona. However, he wasn't fully trusted in Catalonia with just three goals in 42 appearances, moving on loan for an equally unsuccessful loan spell to Wolverhampton Wanderers; and it's only from there that he's found his feet at Sporting. But Trincao could make his way back to England - with Tottenham set to make their interest known in his interest.

Report: Tottenham 'Monitoring Progress' of Sporting Star Trincao

The winger has already had one stint in England but he could be back for more

The report by TBR Football states that Tottenham have been watching Trincao for 18 months, as they look to prepare a bid for his signature.

English teams will have been aware of Trincao in the Champions League this season, with City feeling his wrath in their 4-1 loss in Lisbon in early November and, as a result, Tottenham have sent scouts to watch the former Premier League man. United boss Ruben Amorim's keenness on the star will also be a positive sign for Spurs, given that he has had enough time to gauge the level of the Premier League after his move to the Red Devils.

With just one-year left on his contract at the age of 25, Trincao represents an interesting option for the Premier League strugglers to pursue under Postecoglou, who is thought to be keen on the former Wolves star. Trincao managed 23 goals and 27 assists under Amorim, and an exit from the Primeira Liga is far from confirmed - yet Sporting want him to sign a new contract, and that is unlikely at present.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Trincao has nine caps for Portugal, though he's failed to score.

James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are the best options to fill in centrally behind the striker at present, but Brennan Johnson doesn't have anyone to cover for him if Kulusevski is used centrally - and although Spurs have a plethora of left-sided options at the club, Trincao would add quality and depth to their attack in a bid to turn their poor form around.

Tottenham coaches and members of the hierarchy are confident that Mathys Tel has bags of potential and will come good over the next few months and years, according to GIVEMESPORT sources.

Tel joined Tottenham during the January transfer window on a loan deal until the end of the season from Bundesliga side Bayern Munich. Spurs will be able to secure his signature permanently for a fee of around £45m, and he's now auditioning over the next few months to try and earn himself a move.

It's been a slow start for Tel at Spurs, but that's to be expected considering his age. The French forward was never going to be the finished product when Tottenham acquired him in January - he's still only 19 years old and trying to get used to a new country, league, and culture.

Tel Highly-Rated Internally at Tottenham

Spurs want to sign him permanently

According to GIVEMESPORT sources, Tottenham are confident that Tel is going to develop into an important player for the club and they see him as a strong option on the left-hand side of attack. The north London outfit want to tie him down to a permanent deal, and it's understood that he's seamlessly adjusting to life in England.

Spurs are also hoping to add further options in attack, not just Tel, and it's no surprise with the Bayern loaner likely considered a long-term option rather than an immediate fix. Unfortunately for Spurs fans, they'll be hoping to see some immediate fixes arrive through the door at some point after a disastrous season in the Premier League.

In reality, Tottenham were never going to get the best out of Tel this season, hence why the option to buy in the loan deal would have been important.

Bournemouth are planning to hold discussions with boss Andoni Iraola over a fresh contract at the Vitality Stadium after he has been gaining interest from Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed on the latest episode of our Market Madness podcast.

The Cherries are in contention for a European qualification spot after showing plenty of ambition in the transfer market over the last 12 months, with Evanilson becoming their club-record signing thanks to wrapping up a £40.2million switch from Porto in August, and they are determined to ensure their head coach remains in the hot-seat for the foreseeable future.

Iraola Set for Discussions Over Fresh Terms

Spanish tactician will be involved in meeting with Cherries owner

Bournemouth are on course to open talks with Iraola over an improved contract next week, according to GMS sources, with chairman Bill Foley insistent that he will lead the discussions in an attempt to make it clear how much he is valued after guiding the south coast outfit into contention for a first-ever involvement in the Champions League.

The Spanish tactician pockets in the region of £1million-per-year on his current deal, which includes a release clause worth more than £5million, but there is an acknowledgement within the corridors of the Vitality Stadium that he deserves to be rewarded for the job he has done since being appointed as Gary O'Neil's successor in the summer of 2023.

GMS sources have been informed that Bournemouth will fight to keep Iraola if domestic counterparts Tottenham Hotspur come calling for his signature in the summer, after the north Londoners have made contact with his agents, while his representatives have also held conversations with his current employers.

Although Ange Postecoglou was backed by the capital club's hierarchy in the winter transfer window, with Mathys Tel becoming a last-minute addition thanks to an initial loan deal which includes a £45million option to buy being agreed, there is succession planning taking place ahead of an end-of-season review.

Tottenham are still supporting the former Celtic chief ahead of their Europa League last 16 second leg against AZ Alkmaar, GMS sources have been told, but Iraola will be high in their thinking if they decide to go in an alternative direction ahead of the 2025/26 campaign and Bournemouth will remain eager to keep him on board in that situation.

The Cherries are already aware that the likes of Dean Huijsen, Antoine Semenyo and Milos Kerkez are some of the names that could be the subject of big-money offers in the summer, with GMS senior correspondent Fabrizio Romano recently revealing that Liverpool boss Arne Slot has approved a move for the latter.

Next week's scheduled meeting with Iraola is not in reaction to Tottenham's ongoing interest, GMS sources understand, but Bournemouth chairman Foley is expected to discuss improved terms with the former Rayo Vallecano head coach and believes he needs to be visible in driving the message that he is in line to be rewarded.

Kevin Danso is set to miss Tottenham Hotspur’s Europa League clash with AZ Alkmaar on Thursday due to a suspected hamstring issue, journalist Paul O Keefe has revealed.

The Austrian centre-back suffered a setback in Spurs’ 2-2 draw with Bournemouth at the weekend and is not expected to feature in the second leg of their last-16 tie tomorrow.

Tottenham need a turnaround against the Dutch side if they are to progress to the quarter-finals, having lost 1-0 last week after Lucas Bergvall’s own goal.

They head into the game with several injury concerns, with Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison, Ben Davies and Radu Dragusin all ruled out.

Kevin Danso Ruled Out of Alkmaar Clash

With a suspected hamstring issue

O Keefe, writing on X, shared a worrying update on Danso’s availability ahead of Tottenham’s crucial Europa League match against AZ Alkmaar:

Danso has played almost every minute since joining Tottenham from Lens on loan in January amid an injury crisis in North London.

Spurs were without first-choice centre-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven for a significant period, but the duo are now back in action and expected to feature on Thursday.

Danso appeared to be struggling towards the end of the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth on Sunday and headed straight down the tunnel at full-time with medical staff by his side.

The 26-year-old has made seven appearances for Spurs so far across all competitions, amassing 618 minutes of action.

Tottenham’s season now hinges on their Europa League campaign, as it remains their only route to continental competitions after crashing out of the Carabao Cup and FA Cup last month.

If Ange Postecoglou's men overturn a 1-0 deficit at home to AZ Alkmaar on Thursday, they will face the winner of Ajax v Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-finals.
