While Oasis will reunite for a whopping seven shows at Wembley Stadium next summer, it seems their comeback could be outshined by Beyonce.

Queen Bee is reportedly planning another residency in the capital across town at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2025.

The potential London shows would see the global megastar return to venue two years after her Renaissance concerts last summer.

Will Beyonce play London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2025?

Beyonce is yet to confirm her touring plans for 2025, but it’s likely she will hit the road as she has not toured her latest album Cowboy Carter yet, which was released earlier this year.

If she does end up going on tour for the new record next year and has shows in London, it seems the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could be the venue where they’re held.

A source told The Sun Beyonce is planning to unveil a series of stadium shows next summer including around five dates at the north London venue.

Spurs saw off serious Premier League competition to snap up Leeds United midfielder Archie Gray this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur had to beat serious Premier League competition to sign highly-rated midfielder Archie Gray from Leeds United this summer after the 18-year-old's breakthrough season at Elland Road last term.

The teenager made an impressive 52 appearances in all competitions for Daniel Farke's side last season as the Whites came close to clinching promotion to the top flight. It was no surprise to see a flurry of transfer rumours around the player once the summer window opened.

It was ultimately Spurs who won that race, forking out £40 million to bring the player to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Gray signed a six-year deal in July.

In the days before that deal was announced, it had been widely reported that Brentford had a £35 million bid accepted by Leeds United. Meanwhile, The Express reported that Chelsea 'joined' Spurs in the transfer race at the end of June with The Daily Mail claiming that Liverpool were ready to splurge £40 million on the rising star as early as November 2023.

With such high profile interest, signing Gray was a major coup for Spurs and the player's great uncle Eddie has unveiled how the club clinched the transfer. The former Leeds United star and Scotland international told the Daily Record: "He's going to be working under a terrific manager. He likes the manager, he loves the manager. There were a few teams after him, but I think meeting the manager and how he conducted himself swung it for Archie. I think he'll help Archie and I think he'll do very well at Spurs.”

Gray is eligible to play for Scotland, just like his great uncle, despite being involved in the England youth set-up. Eddie was asked if he might be able to persuade the Spurs man to represent Scotland as a senior and said: "I doubt it now, to be honest. He's captained England school boys and he's in their under-21s already. He's still only 18.

"So, it'll be difficult. We just need to wait and see. When you go to school in England and play in their youth system, it makes it more likely I suppose. Archie has grown up watching all the English boys playing and then playing with a lot of English boys in the youth teams. It's the same with his brother, Harry. He'll be a good player as well.”

The French international is keen to keep playing top level in football rather than accepting an offer from Saudi Arabia.

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have been offered the chance to sign French international Adrien Rabiot as a free agent following the player's release from Juventus.

The 29-year-old midfielder is said to be keen to avoid a move to the Saudi Pro League and a top European club is a priority as he looks for a new challenge. Rabiot left Juventus in July after five years, having won the Serie A and Supercoppa Italiana with the side, as well as two Coppa Italia trophies.

The player is also a former Paris Saint-Germain star, having graduated from the youth academy in the French capital. Rabiot went on to make 227 appearances for PSG, winning five Ligue 1 titles - six of his previous 10 campaigns have ended in league victory.

There is no doubting the midfielder's quality and the star certainly still has plenty to give. Rabiot made 35 appearances in all competitions for Juventus last season, picking up five goals and three assists from central midfield - former Juventus star praised the player’s ‘crazy’ creativity and ‘leader’ qualities last December.

teamTALK now reports that North London rivals Arsenal and Spurs have both been contacted on the player's behalf about a potential free transfer. The outlet claims that Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Saudi clubs have all enquired about the midfielder's future but those moves are not tempting Rabiot.

It is thought that the Frenchman's wage demands had proved problematic in negotiations over the summer but that now, with the season well underway, he could be open to accepting a lower offer in order to be playing again, having been left out of France's Nations League squad this month.

Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Manchester United had all been touted as potential destinations but the player's mother, who works as his agent, has 'offered' Rabiot to the Gunners and to Spurs. London is said to appeal to the former Juventus man as a new home.

Potential Galatasaray interest in Arsenal man Jorginho could help free up space in the Gunners' squad for Rabiot but the Turkish outfit are also linked with a move for Manchester United man Casemiro ahead of the September 13 deadline in the country.

The transfer window may not quite be over for Tottenham Hotspur and Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham Hotspur could still complete transfer business this month, despite the close of the Premier League window, with reports of interest in defender Ben Davies from Turkish outfit Galatasaray.

The Istanbul outfit has made headlines in recent weeks for securing the loan signing of Victor Osimhen from Napoli. The prolific Nigeria international had been linked with a sensational £100 million Premier League transfer to sides including Chelsea and Arsenal this summer.

However, his exit from Italy was only finalised earlier this month with Galatasaray agreeing a season-long loan. The BBC reported that the Blues had been close to a late move for the player, who bagged 17 goals in all competitions last term, but wage demands proved too costly for the London outfit.

Galatasaray are now preparing to make the most out of their season with the highly-regarded bagsman and the club are believed to be preparing to switch to a new system just to get the most out of Osimhen. That's according to Football Insider, with the outlet claiming that manager Okan Buruk will favour five at the back this term.

The outlet adds that the Turkish club will now look to sign a defender to fit that formation and that Tottenham Hotspur man Ben Davies has emerged as the 'ideal candidate'. Galatasaray have until September 13 to complete transfer business.

Davies, who has become somewhat of a fringe player under Ange Postecoglou, had been tipped to make a summer exit with his contract expiring next summer. Spurs paid a reported fee of £10 million to sign the player back in 2014 and the Welsh international has gone on to make 330 appearances for the club - although is yet to feature this season.

With the player’s contract ticking down, Spurs could well accept a bid below the £10 million paid a decade ago. Transfermarkt currently value the player at around £8.5 million.

Despite not featuring regularly under Postecoglou, the Australian was full of praise for Davies last season. Speaking after Wales missed out on Euro 2024 qualification, the Spurs boss said: "Ben's an outstanding character, I sensed that straight away in terms of the way he carries himself, the way he thinks about the game and his position in the game.

"From my perspective, the more of those kinds of guys you can have in a dressing room helps you make sure that the standards you want to create are there.

"Ben's certainly one of those and he's been great for us every time he's played. He's probably wanted to play a bit more but it's testament to his character that he's always ready to play and he trains the house down every day."

Latest Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal team news as they prepare to play next weekend

Arsenal head into the game on the back of their 1-1 draw at home to Brighton and Hove Albion last time out. They were frustrated that they didn’t pick up all three points against the Seagulls at the Emirates Stadium.

As for Tottenham Hotspur, they were beaten 2-1 away at Newcastle United so will want to bounce back. Here is a look at the early team news regarding the pair…

Arsenal will be without midfielder Declan Rice after he was sent off against Brighton. The 25-year-old has made 54 appearances since joining the club from West Ham, scoring seven goals.

New signing Mikel Merino, who joined from Real Sociedad last month, is out for two months with a shoulder injury. Defenders Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieron Tierney are also sidelined, whilst striker Gabriel Jesus is pushing to return to the fold following a groin issue.

Jurrien Timber went off against the Seagulls and Mikel Arteta said afterwards: “No, he was I think cramping. He got a kick in the first half and was cramping so we had to take him off.”

Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs will be hoping defender Micky van de Ven can return against Arsenal after he sat out of their last fixture against Newcastle. Ange Postecoglu said last week: "Micky was close in training this week but with the international break he’s not quite 100 per cent. Part of me was keen to give Radu (Dragusin) a run, especially at this venue, so yeah we’re going with Radu today."

Striker Dominic Solanke sustained an ankle injury on his competitive debut against Leicester City. They will now have to assess him but it remains to be seen if he will be ready after the international break.

The London outfit will also have to make checks on attacker Richarlison, who also missed of the squad for Newcastle. In addition, goalkeeper Fraser Forster and youngster Will Lankshear are also in the treatment room.

Spurs and the Red Devils are among a host of players to be linked with the Euro 2024 star

The transfer window may well be over but that hasn’t stopped clubs from scouring the free agent market to sign the available talent. Tottenham Hotspur have signed five new players over the summer but could be set to battle a familiar foe as the race to sign Turkey international Yusuf Yazici gathers momemtum.

Both Spurs and Manchester United are said to be among ‘numerous’ Premier League clubs wanting to sign the free agent, whose deal with Lille expired in July. According to reports from Football Insider, Spurs and the Red Devils are also joined in showing Yazici interest by Newcastle United and Aston Villa with the latter two said to be ‘monitoring’ the situation.

Since departing the Ligue 1 side this summer, the 27-year-old midfielder has been unable to find a new club, despite the continued interest from around Europe.

Despite the apparent growing attention the midfielder is receiving from the Premier League, it is believed that Galatasaray are currently leading the race to sign Yazici who scored 12 goals and provided four assists in 42 appearances for Lille last campaign.

In the summer transfer window, Postecoglou welcomed former Leeds United star Archie Gray and Swedish 18-year-old Lucas Bergvall into the mix but as the pair have a combined age of 36, the Spurs head coach may well be seeking to bring in some much needed experience into the middle of the pitch.

Manchester United, on the other hand, sold Scotland international Scott McTominay at the end of the summer transfer window and are currently dealing with Mason Mount‘s absence due to injury leaving Erik ten Hag with depleting options in central midfield. Signing Yazici on a free transfer may well offer both Premier League teams an relief to their midfield-concerns, as well as providing some competition in the squads.

The attacking midfielder first moved to Lille in 2022 in a deal thought to be worth €17.5 million (£14.7m) after growing up in the Trabzonspor academy scheme. The international has scored 64 times in 267 appearances across the board and has netted three goals from 45 international appearances for Turkey.

The midfielder had been targeted by Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United at points this summer and continues to impress at Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace forward Eberechi Eze will be available for £68 million next summer amid news that the player's release clause will be reactivated come the end of the Premier League season.

That's according to the Daily Mail, which reports that the buy-out price of an initial £60 million with a further £8 million in add-ons is to return. The clause, built into a three-and-a-half year signed at Selhurst Park last November, elapsed this summer despite reports of transfer interest.

The outlet names Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United as the main duo who were chasing the England international's signature. News of a release clause will be a boost for those sides should they plan to swoop again next summer - meeting that fee will oblige the Eagles to green light personal negotiations with Eze.

It is thought that Crystal Palace could also be willing to negotiate a fee lower than the £68 million release clause should potential suitors not have the capacity to cough up that figure. The Mail reports that there is an 'acceptance' that Eze will continue to attract interest from the biggest clubs in Europe this season.

Eze scored 11 Premier League goals last season in a campaign riddled with injury and has already hit the back of the net twice in all competitions this term for the South London club.

Speaking to Sky Sports following the end of the summer transfer window this year, Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish admitted that he was shocked by a lack of enquiries over the player. He said: "I was really worried from a club point of view of losing Michael [Olise] and Ebbs [Eze] in the same window and we didn't have in Ebbs the interest that I thought we would have.

"I was astounded. Genuinely astounded. I mean, the guy's just an outstanding footballer, an outstanding person."

A look at the early Tottenham injury news as the North London derby with Arsenal approaches on the other side of the international break.

Tottenham are now on international break as they begin early preparations for the North London derby with Arsenal on the other side. It has been a rocky start to the season for Ange Postecoglou’s men, who drew with Leicester City, beat Everton but then finished their first run of games with an away defeat to Newcastle United.

Spurs must improve quickly after the break, and they will need to be ready to face Arsenal in the derby. Injuries won’t help their case with a few players currently struggling with issues. Here we round up all the latest injury news surrounding Postecoglou’s men as that North London derby clash comes into focus.

Possible return date: Saturday, September 21 vs Brentford

Richarlison has a fresh injury blow after pulling up in training last week. Postecoglou said: “Yeah, that's it and that's a challenge, I guess. It's something we've got to look at again. He's been in that cycle for quite a while and predating me, I guess. We've put a lot of thought (into it), we took a really sort of conservative approach with him. He didn't play in any of the preseason games, and he's really only played 20 minutes of first team football.

“But again, obviously he's had a setback. So it's something we just got to go back with Richy and work through the steps now of getting him back up and running, because you know, when he's fit he's such a handful. Even last week that 20 minutes he played, you can see the options he gives us in that position. But like you said, it's frustrating probably for him as much as anyone else but frustrating for us, too. But that's the reason we brought Dom in, but obviously he picked up an injury in the first couple of games, but again it's something we'll work with Richy on.” Richarlison is expected to miss the derby.

Dominic Solanke

Possible return date: Sunday, September 15 vs Arsenal

Solanke has only made one appearance for Spurs due to injury, but he is now close to returning. Postecoglou has said: “Dom is close but we’re going to be a bit cautious with him, we’ve got a big programme post the international break, so he’ll miss out on Sunday.” Solanke will be hoping to make his mark on the North London derby in his first experience of it.

Micky van de Ven

Possible return date: Sunday, September 15 vs Arsenal

Van de Ven picked up a knee injury that saw him miss Newcastle but he will almost certainly be back for the derby. Postecoglou has said: "Micky was close, he trained this week, but he's not quite 100 per cent, part of me was keen to give Radu a run as well, especially at this venue, so we've gone with Radu today. It's nothing serious, we've a heavy programme after the international break, we're going to need all our back four, so getting Radu a game today is positive for us."

The ex Premier League star is the latest high profile player to make a move to Saudi Arabia.

Former Tottenham Hotspur winger Steven Bergwijn has come under fire from Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman for completing a £21 million transfer to Saudi Arabian side Al Ittihad this week.

The 26-year-old, who made two appearances for the Netherlands at Euro 2024 this summer, has swapped Ajax for the Middle East after two years with the Dutch side. Bergwijn made the move to Ajax from Spurs for £26 million in a move that broke the record for the most expensive transfer in Eredivisie history in 2022.

During his time at Tottenham Hotspur, the winger was part of the Carabao Cup runners-up side of 2021 and scored eight goals for the club.

Since then, the player made 80 appearances for Ajax and registered 29 goals and 12 assists in those outings. Now the forward has moved out of Europe and that transfer has come under heavy criticism from Koeman, who appears to have dismissed Bergwijn from his nation's side due to a lack of 'ambition'.

Koeman said: "The book is basically closed to him. He knows what I think about this. I have never been in that situation, because I could go to Barcelona. He could have stayed at Ajax, that's not bad, is it? You have to respect that choice, but personally I wouldn't [have moved].

"Georginio Wijnaldum once went that way because he had a problem at Paris Saint-Germain. He could only go to that country to play football until January. In Bergwijn's case is that he goes at the age of 26, sporting ambition does not prevail. Not everyone thinks, fortunately, the same way. I think when you are 26 the main ambition should be sporting and not financial, but those are choices players make."

Bergwijn will play under the management of Laurent Blanc at Al Ittihad. His teammates will include high profile names who have also made the move to Saudi such as Karim Benzema, N'golo Kante, Fabinho and Mousa Diaby.

Chelsea have had a busy summer of transfer business and the departures from Stamford Bridge continue.

It's a much-welcomed break for many Premier League clubs over the next two weeks as attention turns to international fixtures.

The close of the transfer window and first flurry of top flight matches made for an action-packed August.

LondonWorld looks at the latest news coming out of Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur this evening in your Premier League round-up.

Chelsea agree £19.3m fee for Angelo Gabriel

The transfer window may have slammed shut in Europe but clubs in other countries are still free to conduct business. Today Brazilian outlet UOL Esporte reports that Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr have agreed a £19.3 million to sign Chelsea youngster Angelo Gabriel.

The 19-year-old was snapped up by Chelsea from Santos last summer but has never played for the Blues, being shipped out on loan to Strasbourg in August 2023. Enzo Maresca had held a huge clearout this summer and the teenager, who cost the club £13 million, is one of those deemed surplus to requirements.

The winger, who made 25 appearances for Strasbourg without scoring last term, would play alongside the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Aymeric Laporte at the Saudi club.

Spurs handed fitness boost ahead of North London derby

Tottenham Hotspur have received the welcome news that defender Micky van de Ven should be fit enough after the international break to face Arsenal in the North London derby.

The 23-year-old missed out of the 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United last weekend and has pulled out of international duty for the Netherlands. However, the BBC reports that his international absence is believed to be cautionary and will allow him to continue treatment on a knee issue picked up against Everton.

News of a potential return for the Arsenal clash comes as the Gunners see marquee summer signing Mikel Merino ruled out until the middle of October with a fractured shoulder.
