Tottenham Hotspur have already turned their attention to strengthening the squad for next season, with a major overhaul seemingly on the horizon. The Lilywhites find themselves well outside the top half of the Premier League table and have underperformed across all fronts this campaign. With 15 losses in just 29 league matches and early exits from domestic competitions, the season has fallen well short of expectations.

Manager Ange Postecoglou is also under mounting pressure. The former Celtic boss is reportedly on the brink, with growing speculation that the club is actively identifying potential replacements. And it’s not just the manager facing uncertainty, several first-team players could be shown the door as part of what appears to be a significant summer clear-out at Hotspur Way. Spurs look set for a critical reset as they aim to rebuild both on and off the pitch.

Tottenham’s forward line has underperformed significantly this season, contributing to the club’s overall struggles. Timo Werner and Richarlison are both expected to leave this summer, while uncertainty also surrounds the future of Heung-Min Son. As a result, Spurs have ramped up their efforts in the transfer market, actively searching for a winger who can replace the outgoing players and inject much-needed depth and quality into the squad. Reinforcements in the attacking department will be a top priority as the club looks to rebuild for the upcoming campaign.

Tottenham in the race for Noni Madueke

Tottenham Hotspur are actively searching for a young winger ahead of next season, as they look to inject a fresh dynamic into their attacking setup. With Ange Postecoglou’s future still uncertain, the club is targeting players who could thrive under the current manager or adapt seamlessly to a potential new leadership approach. The focus remains on building a more versatile and unpredictable front line.

Earlier this week, TEAMtalk reported that Spurs had identified Chelsea winger Noni Madueke as a key target for the role. The 22-year-old England international is reportedly not part of new Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca’s long-term plans, and the Blues are said to be open to letting him leave. Madueke’s pace, flair, and ability to operate on either wing make him an appealing option for Tottenham as they begin shaping their squad for a crucial rebuild.

Now, GIVEMESPORT report that Aston Villa are also in the race to sign the 23-year-old winger. In fact, the report suggests that the Villains are leading the race for Madueke and are hoping to get his signature as soon as possible. GMS also reports that Chelsea have set a price tag of £30 miilion for the winger and are prepared to part ways.

Is Madueke the missing piece for Spurs?

Noni Madueke has endured an inconsistent campaign at Chelsea under Enzo Maresca. The 23-year-old’s season has been disrupted by injuries and limited opportunities, preventing him from building any real momentum in the first team. As a result, Chelsea are open to offloading the former PSV star in the upcoming transfer window, hoping to cash in while he still holds strong market value.

Madueke has featured in 28 matches across all competitions this season, scoring eight goals and registering four assists. While those numbers hint at his attacking potential, he remains one of several Chelsea players underperforming amid a turbulent campaign at Stamford Bridge. Despite flashes of brilliance, consistency has eluded the winger. His standout performance came earlier in the season against Wolves, where he netted a memorable hat-trick and walked away with the match ball—offering a glimpse of the talent that still lies within.

Will Madueke be a good fit at Spurs? That’s a difficult question to answer. Tottenham are in urgent need of players who can deliver immediate impact—consistent performers capable of lifting the squad from day one. While Madueke certainly has talent and potential, signing him would come with clear risks. His recurring injury problems and lack of consistent form raise valid concerns about whether he can meet the demands of a high-pressure environment like Tottenham.

Moreover, Chelsea’s reported asking price is steep for a player who hasn’t proven himself as a week-in, week-out performer. For a club like Spurs, looking to rebuild smartly and efficiently, a move for Madueke might be more of a gamble than a guaranteed solution.

Tottenham Hotspur have adopted a refreshing and ambitious transfer policy, focusing on recruiting and developing young talents with high potential at N17. In what has been a challenging season for the club, it’s the inexperienced youngsters who have often risen to the occasion for manager Ange Postecoglou.

Last summer, Spurs pulled off a major coup by securing Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray, two of the most sought-after prospects in Europe, despite competition from top clubs across the continent. Bergvall, in particular, has shown immense growth, quickly becoming one of the standout performers in the squad. His impressive form has not gone unnoticed, earning him a first call-up to the Sweden national team at just 19 years of age, a testament to the club’s long-term vision and the youngster’s rapid progression.

On the other hand, Archie Gray has showcased remarkable versatility under Ange Postecoglou, stepping up wherever the team has needed him. Despite being just 18 years old, Gray has been deployed in multiple positions, including his most frequent role this season as a centre-back, largely due to the club’s ongoing injury crisis.

Impressively, he has handled the responsibility with maturity beyond his years, never looking out of place even in a position that isn’t his natural role. His composure, intelligence, and work ethic have made him a vital part of the squad, and a shining example of Tottenham’s youth-first approach paying dividends.

Tottenham aiming to sign Luka Stojkovic

Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall are two of the many examples of Ange Postecoglou relying on youngsters and trusting them. Tottenham Hotspur is ranked first this season in the Premier League for most minutes given to teenagers as well (2,839). The English club has suddenly become an exciting place for a youngster to join and develop their game, as well as play in the best league in the world.

The Lilywhites are now said to be interested in bringing another young talent to the Hotspur Way. According to Tottenham News, Spurs are interested in the highly rated 21-year-old winger Luka Stojkovic. However, the English club face some serious competition for the Dinamo Zagreb midfielder. The report suggests that European giants Bayern Munich are also in the race for the Croatian talent.

With Timo Werner leaving in the summer and club captain Heung-Min Son also facing an uncertain future, the North London club are looking to sign a potentially world-class young winger next summer.

Stojkovic dilemma for Tottenham

Luka Stojkovic has been tearing it up for Dinamo Zagreb in the HNL (Croatian League). The 21-year-old was awarded the Man of the Match for his most recent performance for his club’s win against Lokomotiva. The winger ended up winning the game 3-0, scoring a goal and providing an assist as well.

As per Sofascore, Stojkovic has played 26 games this season for Zagreb, scoring four goals and setting up another three. But his impact has been far greater than that. The winger is averaging a match rating of 7.25 this season. He has also created three big chances and has had 36 accurate key passes for Zagreb.

Tottenham’s bad season and potentially missing out on Champions League football will be a major reason why Stojkovic might decide to move to another club. The Lilywhites are in the bottom half of the Premier League table, and the only potential route to playing European football next season is by winning the Europa League this year.

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to bolster their attack for next season

Tottenham Hotspur have been in dire need for a major clear-out of their squad. The Lilywhites are heading towards one of the most important transfer windows in recent years. With many players underperforming this season for Spurs, it is looking very likely that players will get sold as soon as possible to bring in new fresh faces.

Spurs are enduring a tough campaign under Ange Postecoglou. The North London club are nowhere near the Champions League spots and it is looking highly unlikely that they will qualify for Europe next season through the Premier League. However, not everything is bad at N17. Ange’s men are still competing in the Europa League and have a chance of ending a 17-year-long trophy drought if they go on and win the competition.

Gone are the days of prolific forwards donning the Lilywhite jersey. There used to be a time when Tottenham had iconic strikers in their ranks year after year. The likes of Harry Kane, Teddy Sheringham, Dimitar Berbatov and Jermaine Defoe have all been successful in the Spurs shirt. But now, the North London club is in desperate need of reviving those good old days and bringing a prolific forward in the summer.

Tottenham Hotspur are linked to Moise Kean

As per Gazzetta dello Sport, Tottenham are said to be in the race for Fiorentina striker Moise Kean. The North London have been long time admirers of the player and have been following his progress for some time now. However, CaughtOffside suggests that Napoli, Arsenal, and Newcastle United are also in the race to sign the Italy international.

It was earlier reported that, Daniel Levy had sent out delegates to watch the 25-year-old play in a couple of Serie A games. This only suggests how serious the club have been in getting the ex-Juventus player’s signature and bring him to N17. CaughtOffiside recently revealed that the Kean has a release clause of €52 million in his contract as well.

A Premier League return on the cards?

Moise Kean has had a ‘rollercoaster’ career so far. The Italy international made his Juventus debut at a very young age, bursting onto the scene and making an instant impact. Then came a serious downfall in form, following his switch from Turin to Merseyside. The 25-year-old endured a tough time at Everton in the Premier League.

According to Transfermarkt, Kean managed to score just four goals and provide two assists in 39 games for the Toffees. The young striker was heavily criticised for his lack of end-product and was eventually sent on loan a couple of times. But this season has been a standout campaign for the 25-year-old. As per Sofascore, the Fiorentina No.20 has scored 15 goals and provided three assists in just 26 games in all competitions for the Italian club.

Tottenham Hotspur set their sights on Andoni Iraola as a potential Ange Postecoglou successor

Tottenham Hotspur are enduring a difficult campaign, currently sitting 14th in the Premier League and already eliminated from all domestic competitions. With results falling well short of expectations, Ange Postecoglou’s position is now under serious threat, as frustration grows among supporters—many of whom are calling for a managerial change. While Spurs were hampered by a string of injuries early in the season, Postecoglou’s tactical approach has also come under scrutiny in recent weeks, raising questions about its long-term viability.

According to The Athletic, Tottenham have identified Andoni Iraola as their top candidate to take over should they part ways with Postecoglou this summer. As a result, the Australian’s future at the club remains increasingly uncertain heading into the final stretch of the season.

Jack Pitt-Brooke reports that Ange Postecoglou’s position at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is now in serious doubt following a series of poor results and performances. Spurs’ hierarchy have set their sights on Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola as their preferred replacement. The Spaniard’s £10m release clause at the Vitality Stadium is not expected to hinder a potential appointment.

Iraola has been making waves at Bournemouth

Iraola has garnered widespread praise as a “phenomenal” manager for the remarkable impact he’s made at Bournemouth since succeeding Gary O’Neil. Despite losing his top scorer Dominic Solanke to Spurs last summer, Iraola has kept the Cherries competitive, with the team unexpectedly pushing for a Champions League spot.

With just one year remaining on his contract, the Spanish coach could consider a move elsewhere, especially if Bournemouth fall short of European qualification. Currently sitting 10th in the Premier League, the club has defied expectations all season, and if they maintain their form, a top-six finish remains a real possibility.

Bournemouth are keen to tie Iraola down to a long-term contract, recognising the impressive job he’s done this season. However, the final decision will rest with the manager himself, and his future remains uncertain amid growing interest from bigger clubs. Adding to the intrigue is the possibility of a managerial vacancy at Real Madrid this summer, which could further influence Iraola’s thinking. With his stock rapidly rising, Tottenham may need to act swiftly if they are serious about making him their next head coach.

Postecoglou is on thin ice.

If this managerial move were to materialise, it could have a significant impact on Dominic Solanke. The striker enjoyed a breakout season under Andoni Iraola at Bournemouth, forming an effective relationship with the Spanish coach. When Iraola arrived at the Cherries in the summer of 2023, Solanke flourished like never before, producing the kind of form that ultimately earned him a big-money transfer to Tottenham.

Prior to the 2023/24 campaign, Solanke had never come close to hitting double digits in a Premier League season. But under Iraola’s guidance, he scored 19 league goals, and 21 in 42 starts across all competitions—averaging a goal every other game. That transformation speaks volumes about Iraola’s ability to elevate players, especially forwards, which could make a reunion at Spurs all the more compelling.

Iraola’s high-energy, front-footed system could breathe new life into Tottenham’s misfiring attack. His philosophy emphasizes quick transitions, aggressive pressing, and intelligent movement off the ball—a style that naturally complements players like Solanke, who thrive on service and space to exploit. Beyond Solanke, players such as Heung-Min Son, Brennan Johnson, and Mikey Moore could flourish in a more direct and dynamic setup.

Iraola’s tactical flexibility also allows attackers more freedom, often rotating positions and pressing high to win the ball in dangerous areas. Given Tottenham’s current struggles in the final third, a shift to Iraola’s fast-paced approach could unlock the potential of underperforming talents and inject much-needed fluidity into their attacking play.

Tottenham Hotspur are in desperate need of a prolific striker to partner with Dominic Solanke as they look to recover from a disappointing season under Ange Postecoglou. Despite being the second-highest scorers in the Premier League, Spurs find themselves languishing in the bottom half of the table with just nine games remaining, a clear reflection of their lack of consistency and balance.

The forwards have endured a frustrating campaign, with club captain Heung-Min Son falling well short of expectations. Meanwhile, the likes of Timo Werner and Richarlison have failed to make any real impact, contributing little to the club’s attacking threat. The lack of reliable firepower up front has left fans understandably disillusioned, as the current attacking options have simply not lived up to the billing. Reinforcements in the final third are not just a luxury, they’re an absolute necessity.

As per the Premier League website, Timo Werner and Richarlison have played a combined 27 league games this season. However, the two forwards have just managed to score a combined total of two goals and provide four assists in that time. This is a damning statistic considering how highly paid the pair are and the fact that they play for big club.

Tottenham eyeing Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman

Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a prolific forward for next season in the hopes of bolstering their attack. The Lilywhites are said to be in the market already and are hoping to make a statement signing to revive their chances of winning their first silverware in 17 years.

As per CaughtOffside, Spurs are among several clubs in the race to sign Atalanta striker Ademola Lookman. The North London club are said to be in the race with other Premier League clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. However, it is said to be tough for the Lilywhites to land the Nigeria international in the summer.

CaughtOffside also reports that the Italian team have set a price tag of €65 million for the player. This has made other European clubs vary of the situation as well and Barcelona and Juventus are also keen on signing the 27-year-old.

Uncertain future for Ademola Lookman?

Lookman is enjoying yet another outstanding season with Atalanta, further solidifying his reputation as one of the most in-form wingers in Europe. The Nigeria international recently added to his growing list of accolades by being named the African Player of the Year, a testament to his consistent performances at both club and international level.

Lookman etched his name into European football history last season by scoring a memorable hat-trick in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen, single-handedly dismantling one of the most dominant teams in the competition. His blend of pace, directness, and clinical finishing continues to make him a nightmare for defenders and a player many top clubs are keeping a close eye on.

As per Sofascore, the forward has played 32 games this season, scoring 18 goals and providing six assists. He is one of the best players in Europe and has been consistently performing for Atalanta. The Nigeria international also has an average rating of 7.39 this season.

However, Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini recently stirred controversy by publicly criticising Ademola Lookman after the 27-year-old missed a crucial penalty in a Champions League knockout tie against Club Brugge. According to Sky Sports, Gasperini went as far as to say it was “the worst penalty he had ever seen”—a harsh statement that reportedly did not sit well with Lookman. Since then, speculation has grown around the Nigerian’s future, with reports emerging that he could be open to a summer move away from the Serie A side.

Does that make it easier for Tottenham to land his services? Only time will tell.

With the international break pausing club action, Tottenham Hotspur now have a valuable window to evaluate their shortcomings and plan ahead. An early-season injury crisis severely disrupted their momentum, contributing to a slide down the table that sees them currently 14th in the Premier League and eliminated from all domestic competitions.

With one eye firmly on the summer, there are growing murmurs of a potential squad rebuild. While Ange Postecoglou does have access to a wide array of attacking options, the inconsistent performances from his forwards—mirroring the broader struggles of the squad—have underlined the urgent need for attacking reinforcements. As the club looks to reset and build a more competitive unit, recruitment will be key to reviving Tottenham’s fortunes next season.

Tottenham Hotspur’s attacking line has faltered this season, with key players struggling to deliver when it matters most. Son Heung-min has endured an inconsistent campaign, Timo Werner has underperformed, and Brennan Johnson continues to face growing criticism. Meanwhile, Mathys Tel’s future remains uncertain, and Richarlison has spent much of the season sidelined. With so many question marks surrounding their current options, Spurs are in desperate need of a top-class attacker—and a new name has now emerged on their radar.

Bournemouth’s Justin Kluivert has impressed in the Premier League this season, quickly establishing himself as one of the Cherries’ standout performers. The Dutch international has enjoyed a strong campaign and even made history by becoming the first player to score a hat-trick of penalties in Premier League history. With his pace, flair, and versatility in the final third, Kluivert could offer Spurs the injection of creativity and directness they sorely lack.

The Netherlands International is heading in the right direction

Since arriving at Bournemouth from Roma, Justin Kluivert has been in outstanding form, registering 31 goal contributions in just 68 appearances. His impact has been instrumental in Bournemouth’s success this season.

According to CaughtOffside, Tottenham, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Newcastle United are all keen on signing Kluivert this summer. The Dutchman is open to a move if a bigger club comes calling, and Bournemouth are reportedly willing to sell him for a fee between £41 million and £46 million.

The report suggests that all interested clubs believe Kluivert could make a significant impact on their squad. It now remains to be seen if Spurs or any other club will meet Bournemouth’s asking price.

Despite playing fewer matches, Justin Kluivert has outscored the majority of Tottenham’s squad this season, only Brennan Johnson stands ahead of him in total goals. Remarkably, his goal tally surpasses that of Son Heung-min and even Dominic Solanke, which speaks volumes about his clinical edge and efficiency in front of the goal. What’s even more impressive is that Kluivert has achieved this without the benefit of Europa League fixtures, where scoring opportunities are often more frequent against weaker opposition.

If Spurs were to secure his signature this summer, the Dutch international could be a valuable addition to Postecoglou’s frontline, offering pace, precision, and a genuine goal threat. Even with slightly reduced minutes compared to his time at Bournemouth, Kluivert has the qualities to make a significant impact in North London and provide the consistency that Tottenham’s attack has so sorely lacked.

Tottenham Hotspur are one to watch in the race to sign LOSC Lille midfielder Angel Gomes

Tottenham Hotspur have endured an extremely poor campaign and will need to make significant signings in the upcoming summer transfer market to at least compete for the top-four spot in the next term.

The North Londoners are seemingly planning to bolster their squad by recruiting a new central midfielder, as evidenced by their reported interest in LOSC Lille star Angel Gomes. The 24-year-old. who has made 134 appearances for LOSC Lille since moving from Manchester United back in 2020, is out of contract at the end of June. He will leave Les Dogues on a free transfer, having already decided not to extend his stay.

As a result, plenty of clubs across Europe have been keen on signing Angel Gomes on a potential free transfer. Tottenham are one of those clubs, with his performances for both club and country over recent years demonstrating the potential he possesses.

GIVEMESPORT chief correspondent Ben Jacobs has now dropped the latest update on Gomes’ future amid links with Tottenham. He says Spurs’ firmly remain interested and could thrash out a quick summer deal with the midfielder on a free transfer, with Manchester United and West Ham United also in the mix for his services.

Gomes has been a prime target for Spurs for months now, especially because he is on course to become a free agent at the end of the season. West Ham and Man United also remain keen, but the Lilywhites are the ones to watch out for, with Daniel Levy personally interested in landing the diminutive, creative midfielder. His homegrown status is also a factor that entices Levy and Spurs.

Earlier this week, Jacobs also gave an encouraging update for Spurs and their fans by revealing that a lack of European football will be no bar in their pursuit of the Lille ace. There is a growing belief now that Tottenham could pre-agree a move for the Edmonton-born talent, who appears keen on returning to the Premier League.

The North London outfit have made their advances to sign Gomes. It will be interesting to watch whether we can snap him up quickly.

Dejan Kulusevski could depart Tottenham Hotspur if they fail to qualify for Europe

Tottenham Hotspur barely have anything left to play in the Premier League, so it would be wise for Ange Postecoglou to focus on winning the Europa League.

The North Londoners defeated AZ Alkmaar 3-2 on aggregate in the Europa League round of 16 earlier this month. Now through to the competition’s quarter-finals where they will face German side Eintracht Frankfurt in April, it is Spurs’ only chance to lift a trophy but also their sole route to clinching Champions League qualification next season.

Failure to do so would not only have ramifications on the future of Ange Postecoglou but may also lead to concerns over the futures of several first-team stars.

According to a report from Italian news outlet Calciomercato, Dejan Kulusevski could leave Tottenham if they fail to secure European football for next season. He could return to Serie A, where several top clubs are vying for his signature.

Dejan Kulusevski has undoubtedly been Spurs’ best player this season, producing consistent performances amid the chaos. Ange’s decision to change his position from the right wing to a central attacking midfielder has proven transformative, helping the player become productive in the final third.

The Sweden international, who is currently injured, has enjoyed his best season in a Spurs shirt to date with 10 goals and as many assists in 42 games across all competitions. However, if Ange’s side misses out on a place in Europe, Kulusevski could end his time at N17.

The aforementioned report adds the Stockholm-born talent could join either AC Milan or Napoli this summer unless the Australian tactician wins the Europa League, with Fabio Paratici—the man who brought the 24-year-old to Spurs from Juventus, a contender to become Director of Football at Milan. Should Spurs fail to win the European competition, Kulusevski will be allowed to leave for €50m.

It will be extremely difficult for Daniel Levy and Co. to cling onto Kulusevski if the Lilywhites don’t qualify for Europe next season. Certainly, Spurs would want a lot more than €50m for the Swedish attacker if they miss out on their season’s objective. However, it would not be surprising if the 24-year-old and his entourage pushed for a move away from White Hart Lane due to the lack of ambition and progress of the club.

For a player of Kulusevski’s class, quality and experience, he deserves to play in Europe. Also, no European football next season would be a blow for Tottenham, especially in terms of finances and ability to attract top talents. It would also be difficult to keep hold of some of the top talents Ange has at his disposal, and Kulusevski certainly is one of those.

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to fend off interest for Rodrigo Bentancur

Tottenham Hotspur have been in all kinds of trouble this season. The North London club are 15th in the Premier League and it is looking highly unlikely that they will have any chance at securing European football next season through the league. However, Spurs are still competing in the Europa League and have entered the quarter-finals of the competition. That trophy is the only hope for the Lilywhites to get into the Champions League next season.

Ange Postecoglou has had to deal with injuries all season. His quad has been depleted in all parts of the field and that is also one of the reasons why the Lilywhites are struggling to find form and consistency this season. However, a few players have stepped up when called upon by Ange and they can quickly become a key part of the Australian manager’s plans.

But it is looking likely that it is going to be a huge summer for Tottenham Hotspur. The club will be looking for a complete overhaul and remove all the deadweight at the club. Ange Postecoglou’s job also remains on the line and the ex-Celtic boss will be hoping that he will be at the helm for next season.

Rodrigo Bentancur to remain at Tottenham Hotspur?

Rodrigo Bentancur has been one of the key players for Tottenham Hotspur ever since joining the club from Juventus in 2022. The Uruguay international has been a mainstay under Ange Postecoglou and has quickly become a senior figure in the dressing room for the Lilywhites.

However, the 27-year-old only will only have a year left on his contract when the season ends. Spurs would surely not like to lose their star midfielder on a free transfer and it is being reported that the North London club have opened talks for a new contract.

According to TBR Football, Tottenham are ready to start negotiations over a new contract for the Spurs No.30. They also report that both the player and the club are happy to enter negotiations and reach an agreement before the summer. But TBR Football also reports that Spurs will have to act quick as there is significant from AC Milan for the midfielder.

Ange Postecoglou will be hoping to keep the Uruguay international at the club beyond this summer and fend off interest from other clubs. As per Sofascore, Bentancur has played 32 games in all competitions this season, having an 89% passing accuracy and averaging a 7.02 rating for the Lilywhites.

Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to fend off competition for Chris Rigg

Tottenham Hotspur have made some very impressive signings since last summer. The North London club have been targeting young talents with huge potential, instead of going to star players who are already in the twilight of their peak and are on a downward slope.

It is not needed to state how badly the Spurs fans want Daniel Levy out of the club, but they will have to give the Englishman credit where its due. Levy perfectly nailed last summer’s transfer window by signing young talents who could be developed at the club and would also be potential world-class players.

The arrivals of Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, Wilson Odobert and Dominic Solanke have certainly elevated the quality of the squad. Ange Postecoglou has utilised each one of them effectively this season and it can be argued that all four of them have been impactful this season. Archie Gray and Bergvall have quickly become fan favourites and have stepped up in different positions for the team due to the injury crisis at the club.

The Lilywhites will be hoping to continue this transfer strategy in the future and hopefully, it can lead to Spurs’ first major silverware since 2008. Ange Postecoglou will also hope he can have young players play for his team as they would be willing to fight for the badge and give their all to the team.

Another youngster to get signed in the summer?

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to strengthen their attacking midfield position in the summer to challenge for titles next year. The Lilywhites are the second-highest goalscorers in the Premier League this season, but that is not stopping them from making additions to bolster their attack even more.

According to Fichajes, Spurs are aiming to sign Sunderland sensation Chris Rigg in the summer for £40million. The North London club are said to be determined to buy the player and are willing to go out to great lengths to get the 17-year-old’s signature. This comes after it was reported by Sunderland Echo that Sunderland value Rigg at £20 million.

Spurs’ willingness to offer double the amount Sunderland are asking for shows how highly the North London club value the youngster. It is also reported by the Sunderland Echo that West Ham United are also looking to sign Chris Rigg but are only willing to offer a deal of around £10 million.

Will Chris Rigg be a good signing?

Sunderland star Chris Rigg has been making waves in England through his brilliant performances. He also became the youngest scorer in Sunderland’s history after scoring in the Carabao Cup as a 16-year-old. As per Sofascore, Rigg has played 34 games in all competitions this season, scoring four goals and providing one assist. The Sunderland No.11 has also provided 37 key passes and created four big chances for Regis Le Bris’ side.

He will be a perfect fit for Ange Postecoglou’s side as well. The England U-19 international will be a good backup for James Maddison and will provide a different dynamic to the team. Rigg plays as a roaming playmaker for the Black Cats and has an eye for a good pass to create a chance.

The 17-year-old tends to receive the ball in the final third and prefers to have a go at the defenders. His strongest attribute is his ability to link up with other players and play quick passes while making a darting second-man run into the box.
