Tottenham and West Ham have both been linked to Nuremberg striker Stefanos Tzimas, who is on loan at the Bundesliga 2 club from Greek side PAOK where he began his footballing career in the youth academy.

He joined Nuremberg on loan in the summer and has since made nine league appearances, scoring five goals and providing one assist. The Greek youngster has been tipped to become a star in the future which is why there is said to be significant Premier League interest in him.

However, according to SportBILD via Sport Witness, amid interest from Spurs and West Ham, Nuremberg are looking to sign Tzimas on a permanent deal from PAOK as there is a £15m buy clause in his loan deal, with a view to then flipping the player soon afterwards to make a tidy profit.

The hope for Nuremberg is that they can sell Tzimas for over £17m to ensure a healthy profit - a fee should be more than affordable for most Premier League clubs.

Spurs and West Ham face Premier League competition to sign Tzimas

The Greece U21s striker isn’t just courted by West Ham and Spurs as the report from SportBILD also suggests that Newcastle United are keen on the 18-year-old, which could prompt a bidding war between the three sides.

However, it could also be an option that Nuremberg isn’t able to afford the £15m buy-out clause, and so the likes of West Ham and Spurs would have to pursue Tzimas from his parent club in PAOK who are competing in the Europa League this season alongside Ange Postecogou’s Tottenham.

They recently played against Manchester United and lost 2-0 to a Ruud Van Nistelrooy-led side. The United interim boss left Old Trafford after Ruben Amorim has taken over but he is now one of the favourites to take over should West Ham decide to sack Julen Lopetegui.

It is not clear yet as to whether the Premier League teams would be prepared to pay £17m or more for the Tzimas, as his current market value is only estimated to be around £1.5m. However due to his potential, if they remain interested then Nuremberg will be prepared to pay the hefty £15m buy-out clause.

Tottenham have reached an agreement to bring Yang Min-hyeok from his club in South Korea next month, ahead of his planned move in January, according to a report on Football.London.

The South Korean was signed in the summer, but part of the deal allowed him to remain in South Korea until the winter transfer window. However, it's now reported that he will join earlier than expected, in December, although there will be no rush for him to join the team right away.

The idea is for him to have enough time to adapt and prepare for the second half of the season.Spurs agreed a £3.3million deal with the South Korean club for his signature, and the figure is widely reported to be a record deal for a player coming from the K-League.

He will also have the support of the club’s captain, Son Heung-min, who is likely to help him settle in.Yang has been impressive since signing for Tottenham, scoring 11 goals and providing 6 assists in 37 K-League matches while playing on either the left or right wing.

He could be the difference in a team that has been incredibly inconsistent. Spurs have scored 23 league goals, which is more than any other team in the league, but they are currently 10th in the table.

The problem seems to be their inconsistency against lower-ranked teams. While they’ve performed well against top sides, as seen in their wins against Manchester City and Aston Villa, they could only draw against Leicester on the opening day of the Premier League.

They also threw away a two-goal lead against Brighton, lost to a previously winless Crystal Palace, and suffered a defeat to Ipswich Town.

Postecoglou could certainly use some firepower up front, and the fact that Yang will join earlier than expected should help him adapt and potentially be ready for game time as soon as possible.

London trio Crystal Palace, Tottenham and West Ham are all said to be interested in snapping up an emerging talent. It has been an underwhelming campaign for all three of those clubs so far this season, with Palace still stuck on one win and in danger of being sucked into a relegation battle.

Tottenham remain in touching distance of the top four, but largely thanks to inconsistencies from their rivals given the number of times they have already slipped up, including a defeat to newly promoted Ipswich Town over the weekend. As for the Hammers, Julen Lopetegui has had a tough time impressing fans during his first season, with the Hammers having only won three games, stuck in the bottom half of the table.

All three clubs could be on the lookout for new signings, if not in January then certainly next summer. According to GIVEMESPORT, all three are interested in a deal to land Lens midfielder Andy Diouf. The 21-year-old has been with Lens since arriving from Basel last year, making 36 league appearances since.

Diouf is a France under-21s international, and he recently represented his nation as part of the Olympics team, making three appearances during the tournament. According to reports, Tottenham have already sent scouts to watch Diouf, specifically at Lens’ Conference League clash with Panathinaikos in August.

Meanwhile, West Ham could do with more legs in midfield, struggling in that area this season, while Palace have been left exposed with the injuries suffered by Adam Wharton and Jefferson Lerma in recent weeks and months. That could lead them to signing a new middle man in the not too distant future.

It’s unclear how much Lens will ask for Diouf, but the midfielder joined the French club for £11.6million last summer, and his stock has certainly risen since then. Transfermarkt value the midfielder at £7.5million, but actual market value is usually significantly more than such values due to the potential on offer, especially when it comes to young players.

Sam Allardyce analysed the success of Tottenham Hotspur striker Dominic Solanke alongside Asmir Begovic.

Former West Ham and Everton manager Sam Allardyce has heaped praise on the work of Tottenham Hotspur striker Dominic Solanke and Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin for their desires to bring back the traditional striker role.

It'll be no surprise to football fans to hear that Big Sam harbours nostalgia for a more old-fashioned form of football, featuring regularly on a podcast titled No Tippy Tappy Football. On a new episode, the 70-year-old sat down with Everton goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.

During the chat, Begovic was asked about the development of Dominic Solanke, who signed for Spurs on a huge £65 million deal this summer from AFC Bournemouth. The goalkeeper played with Solanke while with the Cherries and also knows the talisman from time at Chelsea.

Asmir Begovic: ‘Relegation was the best thing for Solanke’

Begovic said: "When he came to Bournemouth, the best thing that happened to him was Bournemouth getting relegated. He never had a run of games where he could play 30+ games in a season and develop as a player overall - his finishing, his runs, everything like that.

"In going to the Championship that year, I remember playing with him, it was the best thing that happened to him. That's when he really started to take the next step and get the trust in himself to be given the number nine shirt. That started his development and, three or four years of regular football, he moves to Tottenham."

Allardyce was in agreement with Begovic and went on to compare that experience to one had by one of his former players in Calvert-Lewin. The manager worked with the striker while at Goodison Park.

Chelsea were linked with a move for Calvert-Lewin this summer according to GIVEMESPORT, but were deterred by a £25 million asking price from the Merseyside outfit.

Big Sam explains POMO analogy

Big Sam said: "I talk the same about Dominic Calvert-Lewin when I was at Everton. There was absolutely nothing wrong with his play up to the box but his goal conversion was not happening. All of a sudden, when he gains more and more experience in the Premier League and working under Carlo Ancelotti, he became that goalscorer."

The duo went on to talk about the importance of crosses with Begovic admitting that the most danger a striker can pose him between the sticks is when they are waiting for a ball in the penalty box, the conversation inspired by Alexander Isak's goal against Chelsea earlier this month.

With a wry smile, Allardyce then asked the room if they understood the term 'POMO', which could be applied to both the strikers.

He said: "There's a POMO position in the box, you know that? Position of maximum opportunity. Go in there, find where the ball is and you'll start scoring goals.

"A lot about the POMO is not the first phase but the tap-in and being in the right spot, and also being on the move most of the time. There is a POMO position."

Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero is said to have been subject to transfer interest from Real Madrid recently, amid reports that Spurs are trying to tie down the Argentine to a long-term contract keeping him in north London.

Reports emerged in September suggesting that La Liga giants Real Madrid were considering making a move for Romero, who has impressed since joining Spurs back from Atalanta back in 2022. However, Ange Postecoglou’s side aren’t keen on letting him leave.

According to Football Insider, Tottenham will not entertain bids for the 26-year-old as they are ‘desperate’ to keep hold of Romero as they aim to strengthen their defence in January, rather than allow the centre-back to leave. The defender is currently under contract at Spurs until June 2027, but the club hope to keep him around for a longer period of time.

It had previously been reported that Romero’s consideration of extending his contract would come down to the ambition at Tottenham, as it would be difficult to match the title-winning history of Real Madrid. The north London side are 11th in the Premier League table after eleven, matches so far this season, after struggling to string a consistent run of positive results together.

They are still reeling from a 2-1 defeat to newly-promoted Ipswich Town last weekend - a side who had yet to record their first win of the season before their trip to Spurs. However, Postecoglou’s side remains competitive in the Premier League as they sit just three points off the Champions League places.

Furthermore, Spurs have already knocked Manchester City out of the Carabao Cup in their pursuit of their first trophy since 2008 when they won the League Cup.

Tottenham lacking depth in defence

Suggestions that Spurs want to add to their defence in January come as no surprise, seeing as they are currently struggling for depth at the back - to make matters worse, centre-back Micky van de Ven is dealing with a hamstring injury which will keep him out until after the international break.

Radu Dragusin has been playing in place of the Dutchman alongside Romero, however, if they were to suffer another injury at the back, Postecoglou could find it difficult to line up in his normal four-at-the-back formation. It could be one of the reasons why Spurs appear unlikely to consider accepting if Real Madrid comes in for the defender.

Tottenham Hotspur are 'keen' on making a move for in-demand Villarreal winger Alex Baena in January but will have to fight off competition from Newcastle United and Aston Villa to bring the 23-year-old to London.

Spanish outlet Fichajes has linked Spurs with transfer interest in the forward. Villarreal are thought to be willing to allow Baena to leave but would demand around €65 million - around £54 million - from any suitor.

The Spanish international has picked up five assists so far in La Liga this season, along with one goal, having picked up a Euro 2024 winners medal with Spain this summer. It seems that Ange Postecoglou may view the star as a solution to the inconsistency that has plagued his side so far this season.

CaughtOffside name Newcastle United as potential rivals to any deal, along with Aston Villa. The Midlands club have the benefit of manager Unai Emery having worked with Baena while at Villarreal, which could put the Villains in an advantageous position should the player be offered contracts by rival Premier League clubs too.

A product of the Villarreal youth academy, Baena has broken into the first team in recent years after a loan spell with Girona during the 2021/22 campaign. The winger has earned plaudits this season with Spanish outlet Ser 100 praising him for a 'perfect game' against Mallorca in September - "Baena has become the difference maker, capable of deciding a game with a crucial assist" the report added.

Despite being just 23 years old, the player would arrive in the Premier League with pedigree. As well as his Euro 2024 winners medal, Baena won the Europa League under Emery at Villarreal in 2021 and picked up a gold medal at the 2024 Olympics with the Spanish under-23 side.

Baena also finished last season as the player with the most assists in La Liga as Villarreal placed eighth in the table. The winger laid on 14 league goals last term.

Former Tottenham Hotspur star Stephen Kelly didn’t hold back when criticising a ‘frail’ showing from Ange Postecoglou’s side in the first half against Ipswich Town on Sunday afternoon.

The London outfit finished the first 45 minutes 2-0 down to the struggling Tractor Boys thanks to goals from Sammie Szmodics and Liam Delap in front of a home crowd at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. A win would move Ipswich Town out of the relegation zone while Spurs would pass up the chance to leapfrog Aston Villa, Fulham, Arsenal and Chelsea in the table - although the latter two sides face off this afternoon.

Szmodics opened the scoring after 31 minutes in the match with a spectacular bicycle kick after the hosts struggled to deal with a Jens Cajuste cross. The former Blackburn Rovers man was unmarked from six yards out as he netted.

A second followed just over 10 minutes later as Delap managed to prod the ball over the line following a defensive melee that almost saw Tottenham defender Radu Dragusin turn the ball into his own net. Former defender and Republic of Ireland international Kelly wasn’t impressed by the organisation at the back.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, Kelly said: “They have struggled in the final-third. They have been off it slightly. The passing and that crispness that we've seen in the past few games has been lacking and they are going to have to up it a lot. They have looked defensively frail and Ipswich have punished them.”

It’s been an inconsistent few weeks for Postecoglou and Spurs. The North London side beat Aston Villa 4-1 in an impressive showing last weekend but defeats against Brighton and Crystal Palace in recent matches remain fresh in the mind, as well as midweek disappointment at the hands of Galatasaray in the Europa League.

Former Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United manager Harry Redknapp believes Chelsea will edge Sunday’s London derby against Arsenal and has claimed ‘something’s not right’ with the Gunners after a dip in form.

Mikel Arteta’s side lost 1-0 at Inter Milan in the Champions League in midweek, just a few days on from losing by the same scoreline against Newcastle United in the Premier League. In their last six games, Arsenal have won two - which came against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League and against Championship side Preston in the Carabao Cup. They have lost to Bournemouth and drawn with Liverpool in that six-match run.

One player who has been missing for most of those games is Martin Odegaard after he injured his ankle on international duty with Norway back in September. He made his return at the San Siro after coming off the bench. Redknapp believes the momentum is with Chelsea, however, but feels that their hopes of adding to Arsenal’s woes will hinge on the fitness of Cole Palmer.

Looking ahead to the clash at Stamford Bridge, Redknapp said: “Wow, what a big game this is. Chelsea weren’t great at Old Trafford but the goal from Moises Caicedo was superb and so too was his overall performance. I still think this Chelsea side need a bit of work at the back, they ship too many chances and goals for my liking.

“Something’s not right at Arsenal. I know Martin Odegaard is a brilliant footballer, but they should still be able to create chances and score goals without him. They haven’t really looked like scoring in these last few games.

“Odegaard came on against Inter in midweek, so he might be good to go from the start here. I just think Chelsea might edge this; they seem to have a bit more momentum than Arsenal. A lot of Chelsea’s hopes will ride on the fitness of Cole Palmer. He was on the receiving end of a shocking challenge last week, so I hope he’s fit here.”

Chelsea are set to make a late call on Palmer ahead of the weekend, with Enzo Maresca providing an update on Friday. He said: “Cole is getting better, but because he can walk and have dinner doesn’t mean he is completely fit. He is getting better and we still have two days to prepare for the game. Hopefully, we can have him for a session - at least on Saturday - and then we take a decision.”

Arsenal are also waiting on some major injury news with Declan Rice a doubt after missing the trip to Italy in midweek after breaking his toe against Newcastle. Arteta said: “I have to be very vague on that one because there’s no clarity on whether he’s going to be fit for the weekend. What I can say is that he hasn't trained yet and it is not clear whether he’s going to be available or not to play.”
