Son Heung-min envisions a bright future for Tottenham Hotspur starlet Archie Gray

Tottenham Hotspur have endured a miserable season and currently sit 14th in the Premier League table. With 12 league defeats already and no domestic silverware in sight, it’s been a campaign to forget for the North London side. Most of the squad has struggled to deliver consistent performances, and manager Ange Postecoglou finds himself under serious pressure, with questions looming over his future at the club.

Yet, even in a turbulent season, there have been glimpses of hope, particularly from the younger players. Youth is often the heartbeat of a club’s future, and a few bright sparks have emerged for Spurs. Lucas Bergvall has been especially impressive, showing maturity and potential beyond his years in a struggling side.

Meanwhile, club captain Heung-Min Son via Goal (h/t The Boot Room), was recently asked which young Spurs player he believes could become world-class. Without hesitation, Son singled out Archie Gray, tipping him to achieve great things in the years ahead. Coming from a leader like Son, who has seen and played alongside elite talent, this praise carries significant weight.

Heung Min-Son picks Archie Gray as the one to watch out for in future

Son, one of Tottenham’s most influential players in recent years, was asked to name a young talent at the club who could become a world-class footballer in the future. The South Korean captain singled out Archie Gray, expressing his belief that the youngster has what it takes to achieve great things in the years ahead.

“One young player who will achieve big things?

“Archie Gray,” Son said.

What does this mean for Spurs fans?

Gray represents everything Spurs should be building around, young, talented, intelligent, and hungry. He’s got the potential to become the heartbeat of this team. In a season clouded with inconsistency and disappointment, Gray has been a rare bright spot. With proper development under Ange Postecoglou’s guidance, we genuinely believe he could evolve into Tottenham’s midfield general for the next decade.

The key now is patience and support. Let him grow, learn, and make mistakes without overhyping too soon. But from what we’ve seen, Gray has all the tools to not only thrive but to lead. Spurs fans should be excited—this lad could be special.

In a season filled with disappointments, Tottenham must look to the future, and the emergence of talents like Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray is genuinely encouraging. What’s most promising about Gray is his intelligence on the ball, composure in tight spaces, and positional awareness, traits rare to find in young midfielders. If nurtured properly, and given consistent game time, he could become the kind of midfield dynamo Spurs have lacked in recent years.

Son’s endorsement only strengthens the belief that Gray is one to watch. Coming from a player known for his professionalism and high standards, it’s a big nod to Archie’s talent and attitude. If Tottenham are to rebuild and rise again, betting on youth and players with hunger is the way forward.

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to bring in a prolific striker in the summer

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to strengthen their attack after a forgetful season. Spurs are 15th in the Premier League and are out of all domestic competitions. However, the North London club is still in contention to win the Europa League after reaching the quarter-finals last week.

But it has not been an easy season for manager Ange Postecoglou. The Australian has not had a fully fit squad since the start of the season and key players have been injured for some time now. Ange has had to deal with the inconsistencies of many available attackers, which has led to his side being in the bottom half of the league in March.

The Lilywhites brought in Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth for a record fee last summer, but the 27-year-old has had a stop-start first season at the club. The prolific striker had a memorable campaign with the Cherries last season and was considered one of the most lethal strikers in the Premier League. This made Spurs fans quite hopeful that the England international would have the same impact on them this season. But it just hasn’t worked out yet for the Tottenham No.19.

Matheus Cunha has been linked to Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur’s attacking depth is quite questionable. The North London club do not have a reliable second striker in their ranks and Ange Postecoglou has had to deploy youngsters Wilson Odobert and Dane Scarlett as their No.9. Club captain Heung-min Son has also failed to step up this season and has been criticised for his performances this season.

Now Tottenham have stepped up their efforts to bring a reliable attacker for next season. According to GIVEMESPORT, Matheus Cunha is more than likely to leave Wolves in the summer and Spurs are one of many clubs that are in the running for the 25-year-old. The Brazil international is said to have a release clause of £62.5million which will be active in the summer.

GMS also reports that Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool are all interested in the talented striker. This means that Tottenham will have to act quickly if they want to have any chance of signing the Wolves star in the summer and provide competition to Dominic Solanke.

Will Cunha be a good fit at N17?

As per Sofascore, Matheus Cunha has played 29 games in all competitions, scoring 15 goals and providing four assists. This is quite an impressive stat for a player whose club is fighting for relegation. In comparison, Dominic Solanke has just managed to score 11 goals in 33 games for Spurs this season in all competitions. There is no doubt that Cunha will enhance the quality of the attack for Spurs.

He will also be a perfect fit for Ange Postecoglou’s system. The Wolves star is equally good with both feet, has the ability to dribble through tight spaces and is an efficient finisher.

Ange Postecoglou tends to make his striker drop deep between the midfield and the defence of the opposition, to create space for the wingers and the attacking midfielder. This is something which suits Cunha’s playstyle a lot as he is very capable of playing as a False 9.

Will Matheus Cunha end up at N17? Only time will tell, But it will surely bolster the chances of Spurs winning a silverware in the next few years.

Tottenham Hotspur are having a season to forget under Ange Postecoglou. The club is in the bottom half of the Premier League table and fans are running out of patience for the way the club is run. Spurs are looking to end the season on a high amidst calls of sacking Ange and the change in hierarchy.

The Lilywhites are out of all domestic competitions and are almost out of touching distance from the Champions League qualifying spots. Faced with a number of injuries to key players, the North London club are said to be in the market already and strengthen the squad depth for next season.

Ange Postecoglou is hoping to stay in the job after reports emerged that the ex-Celtic manager’s future is hanging by a thread. After a 2-0 loss against Fulham last weekend, the Lilywhites recorded their 15th league loss of the season. They have lost more games than they have won and a strong summer transfer is needed again if they want any chance of going for silverware next season.

Tottenham Hotspur to sign Jonathan Burkardt?

Tottenham Hotspur are the second-highest scorers in the Premier League. But their league position does not suggest that they have been scoring a lot of goals. The attack has been massively depleted through injuries as the season has gone on. Last summer’s statement signing Dominic Solanke has missed several games this season and has failed to be a consistent starter for Ange Postecoglou.

Now according to TBR Football, Spurs are in the market to sign Jonathan Burkardt from FSV Mainz 05 in the summer. The 24-year-old is enjoying a stellar campaign with the German team and has been leading the line brilliantly this season. As per Sofascore, the prolific striker has scored 16 goals for Mainz this season in all competitions in just 23 games. The German talisman has led Mainz to third place in the Bundesliga as well.

However, Tottenham face competition for the 24-year-old’s signature. Many clubs have noticed how impactful Burkardt has been this season in the Bundesliga, and are in the race to sign the striker in the summer. According to TBR Football, Newcastle United, Liverpool and Manchester United are also looking to sign the striker and Spurs will have to compete with them if they want to make a statement signing again.

Is Spurs a good fit for the German striker?

Jonathan Burkardt is already making history at Mainz this season. As per OptaFranz, the 24-year-old became the first Mainz player in 11 years to score the most league goals (15 goals) for the club in a single season. This is quite an astonishing feat and it has helped the German club climb up to 3rd in the league table and into the Champions League qualifying spots.

The German striker needs to improve his overall game a little if he ends up at Tottenham. The striker is very efficient in front of goal, but his inability to create chances and drop deep to receive the ball and dribble past defenders makes him a questionable signing. Ange Postecoglou prefers his strikers to start an attack and create chances for other teammates, which is something Burkardt will find tough to do unless there is a significant improvement.

The Mainz striker likes to be a threat in the box and does not intend to get involved in the buildup phase. However, Burkardt is a proper goal threat and does not need a handful of chances to score a goal.

He will be a useful signing in terms of adding attacking depth to the squad. Ange Postecoglou will be hoping that Tottenham at least be in the race for the 24-year-old. And who knows? If Spurs do end up getting him, they might just become favourites to win a major trophy again.

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United to fight it out for Jarrad Branthwaite

It has been another dismal season for Tottenham Hotspur and its fans. The club sits in the bottom half of the Premier League table and Ange Postecoglou looks to have run out of ideas to save the North London club from the trenches. Many factors have come into play for Spurs’ disappointing season, the most obvious one is the number of injuries to several players.

The Lilywhites have endured a tough campaign. Spurs are the second-highest-scoring team in the league, but their defensive record is completely unacceptable. According to the Premier League website, Ange’s men have conceded 43 goals in the league and have managed to keep just six clean sheets. This is something the fans have been quite frustrated about.

It is almost always the same case. The North London club have to score at least two goals each game if they want a positive outcome due to their inability to keep clean sheets. Ange Postecoglou prefers his side to attack constantly throughout the game, regardless of the score. This leads to holes in the defence as the team is more focused on scoring than not conceding.

Jarrad Branthwaite might end up at Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur look set to bolster their defence and add a new defender in the summer. The Lilywhites have had to deal with several injuries this season and Ange Postecoglou is hoping that signings are made in the summer to add depth to the squad.

According to Fichajes, Spurs are in the race to sign Everton star Jarrad Branthwaite. The England international is deemed to be one of the most exciting prospects in English football currently and has been a key player for Everton. The report also suggests that Manchester United are ready to spend £50 million for the talented defender and Tottenham will have to up their game if they want to have any chance of landing the Everton star.

According to GIVEMESPORT, Manchester United were very close to agreeing to a deal to sign Branthwaite last summer. But the deal was called off after both clubs failed to reach a conclusion regarding the transfer fee for the 22-year-old. However, United are again said to be in the running for the Everton star’s signature.

Will Tottenham’s style of play suit Branthwaite?

Jarrad Branthwaite has an undeniably high ceiling. The Englishman is touted to become a world-class centre-back soon and it is certain that his future lies away from Everton sooner rather than later. It is quite evident that the Everton No.32 will also be a perfect fit for Ange Postecoglou’s side.

Ange prefers his centre-backs to play a high line, have good technical ability and carry the ball out of the defensive third and into the attacking third whenever possible. The Australian manager also wants his defenders to play line-breaking passes into midfielders and have good agility and pace to cover the space left behind due to the high line.

This suits Jarrad Branthwaite’s game well. The Everton defender is known for his positioning, and his ability to play through pressure. The defender is two-footed and has a good aerial presence. As per Sofascore, Branthwaite has an 83.2% passing accuracy and has completed 56 long balls in the Premier League. The defender also prefers to venture forward from deep and can be deployed as the makeshift right-back during possession by Ange.

Tottenham set to up their ante to beat their Premier League rivals to the signing of Southampton talent Tyler Dibling

Tottenham Hotspur have adopted a strategy that focuses on investing in youth and unlocking their potential. The club honcho Daniel Levy, known for identifying emerging talents and developing them into standout performers, wants to compound on the transfer strategy this summer as well.

Levy’s recent successes include the captures of Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray, both signed last year and already proving their worth at Hotspur Way. It is now about enhancing the pool of highly-regarded talents and grooming them within the corridors of N17. And the club chiefs have set their sights on one English talent.

Southampton starlet Tyler Dibling has been on the radar of Tottenham since last year. The Lilywhites were interested in signing the Englishman during the winter transfer window but Southampton were reluctant to let him leave amid their fight against relegation.

The teenager’s displays at the St Mary’s Stadium have won him many admirers across the Premier League. Tyler Dibling is expected to leave the Saints once their relegation from the Premier League is confirmed, with Ivan Juric’s side having only picked up nine points from 29 games this season.

According to an exclusive report from GIVEMESPORT, Spurs are set to accelerate their plans to sign Dibling. They want to build their squad for the future by signing one of the top-flight’s best young players, with the Southampton prodigy keen on a move to White Hart Lane before the 2025/26 season commences.

Manchester United are also keeping tabs on the Exeter-born attacker, who has been impressive during his breakout season in the Premier League. Whilst just 19, Dibling has been a nightmare to contain for the full-backs this season. His ability to get out of tight spaces and dribble his way from the marker before making an incisive pass in the final third has been truly impressive.

The England youth international also flourishes in breaking down low-blocks, something which Tottenham as a unit have struggled at times this season despite possessing creative players such as James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min. Due to his burst of acceleration and ball-carrying ability, he also excels in counter-attacking situations and would bring a different dimension to Spurs’ attack.

The aforementioned report adds Tottenham could up their ante to sign Dibling knowing several clubs are vying for his services and waiting for Southampton’s relegation. He is likely to embark on a fresh challenge once the South Coast side’s relegation is confirmed, and the versatile attacker remains attracted to the North London side’s project under Ange Postecoglou.

Southampton are unwilling to sell Dibling for anything less than £55million, but with the player set to enter the final year of his contract at the end of June and them on the verge of losing their top-flight status, they barely stand any chance of getting anything closer to their valuation.

As for Tottenham, it is good to see them planning to accelerate their pursuit of Dibling, who if he signs on the dotted lines during the summer transfer window would represent nothing less than a mega coup.

Tottenham are ready to break the bank for Sporting CP superstar Viktor Gyokeres

Tottenham Hotspur have been vying for a move for a new striker for the third successive window, as Daniel Levy looks to hand Ange Postecoglou some qualitative depth up top.

Spurs broke their club transfer record last summer to sign Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth. He was expected to do well and Solanke has done that, but the England international has not got a sufficient back-up with Richarlison enduring another injury-ravaged campaign.

The Lilywhites acquired Mathys Tel’s services on loan from Bayern Munich during the mid-season trading period. Ange Postecoglou has used Tel more centrally than out wide, and the teenage Frenchman has not managed to deliver the goods as expected. Thus, the Hotspur Way chiefs are planning to bring in a new centre-forward in the summer.

According to a report from Spanish news outlet Fichajes, Tottenham are eyeing an audacious move for Sporting CP hitman Viktor Gyokeres. The Spurs chiefs view him as an ideal candidate to fill the void left by Harry Kane, who departed N17 for Bayern Munich in 2023.

Viktor Gyokeres has established himself as one of the highly-coveted forwards with his clinical finishing and all-round abilities as a forward. The Sweden international has been a revelation since his £17 million transfer from Coventry City to Sporting CP, smashing an impressive 43 goals and 15 assists in 50 appearances across all competitions and helping his side win the league title last season.

The 26-year-old has backed it up with 40 goals and 10 assists in 41 games already this campaign, proving that he is not a ‘one-season wonder’. After two prolific seasons in Portugal, Gyokeres commands high value and it is no surprise that he has been linked with some European bigwigs.

The aforementioned report adds Tottenham are willing to make a significant investment to sign Gyokeres this summer. However, they will face stiff competition from multiple clubs across Europe, including Manchester United.

The Stockholm-born star has had a strong relationship with Ruben Amorim since their days together at Sporting CP, which could give Man United an advantage to land him. Like Spurs, though, the Red Devils have underperformed this season and their only route towards achieving Champions League qualification realistically lies in winning the Europa League in May.

While a goalscoring powerhouse like Gyokeres would undoubtedly be a great addition to Spurs’ forward ranks, breaking the bank for another striker after only signing Solanke last year does not seem feasible during the forthcoming transfer window, especially when we have the defensive unit that needs restructuring.

TTLB Opinion: Tottenham gets boost in 25GA winger pursuit, but there are clubs who need him more

The Sporting superstar has the talent and ability to fill the void left by Kane at White Hart Lane, and if Levy and Co. are ready to splash the cash, Ange’s Tottenham must at least win the Europa League trophy to give themselves a chance of landing him ahead of their rivals.

The North Londoners are set to face Fulham on Sunday as Ange Postecoglou returns his focus to the Premier League following what was a physically and mentally taxing Thursday night in the Europa League, where Tottenham Hotspur came from a one-goal trail to secure the round of sixteen tie on a 3-2 aggregate against Dutch side AZ Alkmaar and going on to advance to the quarter finals of UEFA’s second tier competition.

Time for tricky decisions?

And coming into the game, the Australian head coach faces tough decisions given the injury concerns at his disposal, as he needs to manage players, and he will need to start with centre-back duo Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, who have returned to full fitness, but then if you look at the amount of time that they served on the sidelines, they certainly need to be managed well (especially considering the concerns over the former, who was indicating a possible hamstring problem before coming off in the midweek).

You’d expect Archie Gray to return back into the starting eleven given his performances this season don’t warrant him to serve on the bench for a long time.

No Bergvall, No Son?

Midfield is a concern of its own. We saw teenager Lucas Bergvall cramping towards the end of the game vs. AZ, and given his age, he could be rested for tomorrow’s game. The duo of Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma, who were not a party to the starting eleven on Thursday, could likely step into the midfield and James Maddison takes up the creative role.

Then, moving on to the attacking side of things. January loan signing Mathys Tel can possibly continue to feature on the wing—the Australian coach has omitted him from the last two matches, and with the return of Solanke to the squad, the Frenchman could start out wide while giving Son some rest.

Brennan Johnson could come in for Odobert, who has played quite some minutes off late and it’s possibly time to give him a breather.

Ange acknowledges changes

Ange Postecoglou did speak about the need to shuffle his lineup and manage player fatigue. The former Celtic manager said:

“Yeah I think so, I think we need to. We saw how hard it is backing up. Sunday-Thursday isn’t too hard but Thursday-Sunday is a massive task. It helps that we are at home and with us having a more healthy squad it’s good for us to make some changes.”

That being said, a few players are expected to miss out on the availability with Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison, and Kevin Danso serving the sidelines, and a return after the upcoming international break is expected for them.

Tottenham Hotspur are ready to make their move for Rayan Ait-Nouri

Tottenham Hotspur are gearing up for a crucial summer transfer window following a disappointing campaign that has left fans demanding reinforcements. One key area of focus is expected to be the left-back position, as Spurs look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.

With Sergio Reguilón and Ben Davies both out of contract this summer, the club faces the strong possibility of losing two senior left-backs on free transfers. Neither player has signed a new deal, making it increasingly likely that Spurs will be forced to enter the market for a long-term replacement. Given the importance of full-backs in Ange Postecoglou’s system, securing a top-quality signing in this position will be a major priority for Tottenham in the upcoming window.

Tottenham want to sign Rayan it-Nouri

According to Mark Brus in an exclusive report for Caught Offside, Tottenham Hotspur are set to battle Liverpool for the signing of Rayan Ait-Nouri from Wolverhampton Wanderers this summer. The 23-year-old left-back has been a standout performer for Wolves, delivering consistent and eye-catching displays that have earned him interest from two of the Premier League’s top clubs. With both Spurs and Liverpool looking to bolster their defensive options, Aït-Nouri has emerged as a highly sought-after target in the upcoming transfer window.

Ait-Nouri is a dynamic left-back who blends flair, tenacity, and technical excellence. At just 23, his electric pace and silky dribbling make him a constant threat down the flank, effortlessly gliding past defenders and delivering dangerous balls into the box. Comfortable in possession, he has an eye for a defense-splitting pass and a knack for whipping in precise crosses, making him a valuable asset in the attacking third.

Defensively, Ait-Nouri isn’t just about attacking flair. He is also a committed tackler who uses his speed to recover quickly when out of position. While his concentration can lapse at times, his versatility allows him to shine whether pushing forward as an attack-minded wingback or slotting into a more traditional back-four setup. With his mix of creativity, athleticism, and defensive awareness, the Algerian international is undoubtedly a highly sought-after talent, a player who could bring serious quality to either Tottenham or Liverpool next season.

How has he performed this season?

He has had a mixed defensive record in the 2024/25 Premier League season, conceding 51 goals and keeping four clean sheets in his 27 appearances. This translates to one goal conceded every 45 minutes when he is on the pitch, a statistic that highlights Wolves’ defensive struggles but also emphasizes the high-intensity environments in which he operates.

From a defensive standpoint, Ait-Nouri has averaged 2.57 tackles and 0.70 interceptions per 90 minutes, showcasing his ability to disrupt opposition attacks and contribute to his team’s defensive structure. However, his attacking output has been equally impressive, registering a total of eight goal contributions (goals + assists) this season.

Given his skill set and impressive attacking contributions, Ait-Nouri could be a strong choice for Spurs as they look to reinforce their left-back position. However, securing his signature won’t be straightforward. Wolves have set a price tag of €50-60 million, while Tottenham are expected to open negotiations with an initial bid of around €35 million.

That said, Liverpool’s interest poses a serious challenge. With their elite status, history of success, and regular title contention, the Reds could offer Ait-Nouri the chance to compete at the highest level, making Anfield an attractive destination. If Spurs are to win this transfer battle, they may need to increase their bid significantly and convince the player of their long-term ambitions.

Tottenham Hotspur might go another season without a trophy

Tottenham Hotspur are having a disastrous campaign under Ange Postecoglou. The North London club sit in 13th place in the Premier League and are already out of all the domestic competitions. It has been a season to forget for the Spurs fans, with their team not performing to the standards expected.

Spurs have been underwhelming ever since Daniel Levy was made Chairman of the club in 2001. The Lilywhites have won just one major trophy under his 24-year tenure and have been nothing but mediocre for a long period of time.

Tottenham Hotspur’s last major trophy came in 2008, when they beat city rivals Chelsea to win the League Cup in a packed Wembley Stadium. However, after that, the English club has come close to winning the Premier League, the Champions League and the FA Cup but has somehow always failed to achieve their goal of lifting a major trophy.

Spurs fans have held several protests, too, for Levy’s poor management of the club and have called for his sacking as the club does not seem to be moving forward. Ange’s men will most likely miss out on Champions League qualification this season, and it will just symbolize how poorly run the club is from top to bottom.

Tim Sherwood has his say on the current situation

Former Tottenham Hotspur player Tim Sherwood is known for his bold claims. The Premier League winner played under the regime of Daniel Levy when he was a player and later joined the club as a manager in 2013/14.

Speaking to FourFourTwo, Sherwood said,

“Everyone looks at the common denominator and they think ‘Well, the managers have come and gone and they’re still lifting no trophies, but the one remaining factor is Daniel Levy’, but I was there with the old regime as a player and I loved Alan Sugar because he was his own person, and I liked Daniel Levy, too. It’s just that Daniel does it in a different way.”

The ex-Spurs manager went on to say,

“It’s not his fault that the club hasn’t won anything, I believe. I think they’ve had the opportunities to, and I think he’s spent money. The Recruitment hasn’t been top drawer, that has been an area where if you have to point the finger, you’d have to point the finger at that.”

Daniel Levy has come under a lot of scrutiny during his time at Tottenham Hotspur, and it’s safe to say that the fans want him to leave the club. The performances have not improved under a number of managers, and the failure to win trophies and controversially sacking managers without giving them a chance has been the story of Levy’s tenure.

Liverpool enter the transfer race for Tottenham-linked Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap

Tottenham Hotspur bolstered their attacking unit during the winter transfer window by signing Mathys Tel on loan from Bayern Munich. Spurs do have an option to buy Tel at the end of the season, but the decision will purely lie on the Frenchman whether he wants to make his move permanent in North London or return back to Bayern Munich.

The Lilywhites are planning to revamp their forward department in the summer. The club chiefs are open to offloading Son Heung-min, Timo Werner and Richarlison and replacing them adequately in the head coach’s roster. And Spurs have reportedly identified Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap as a potential option to replace Richarlison.

Liam Delap has been in impressive form this season, catching the attention of several Premier League heavyweights with his combination of pace, power and physicality. He has netted 10 goals and supplied two assists in 27 league appearances, leading Ipswich Town’s charge to achieve top-flight safety.

The 22-year-old striker, who is under contract with at Portman Road until 2029, has become one of the emerging figures in English football, attracting interest from several Premier League clubs. Now, according to an exclusive report from TBR Football, Liverpool have entered the race for Delap. They have stepped up their interest in signing the Winchester-born talent ahead of the summer.

The Reds entering the race for Delap is a massive blow for Spurs. Unlike Tottenham, Liverpool have had an impressive campaign, sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League table with a 15-point buffer over Arsenal. Arne Slot is planning to strengthen the squad in the summer after an unproductive last two transfer windows.

It looks like Darwin Nunez, who missed a critical penalty in the shootout during Liverpool’s Champions League elimination at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield on Tuesday evening, will be on his way out in the summer and Slot wants to replace him with Delap. The aforementioned report adds that the Merseyside club have scouted the Ipswich striker multiple times since the start of 2025.

Delap has performed really well in what has been his breakout season in the Premier League. At 22, the English striker would be ideal to cover and compete with Dominic Solanke next season whilst adding quality depth to the squad.

However, securing the Ipswich man’s signature won’t be straightforward for Tottenham. With the club currently far from securing Champions League qualification and Liverpool now in the mix too, Daniel Levy will have to put in serious effort to convince the young striker that North London is the right destination for his next step.
