Report: Tottenham plotting stunning £100m move to sign Premier League duo - CaughtOffside
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing a major summer transfer move, with Wolves duo Matheus Cunha and Joao Gomes firmly in their sights.

According to a report from TheBoyHotspur, Spurs are willing to allocate £100 million to secure both players as they look to overhaul their squad ahead of the new season.

Tottenham eyeing move for Matheus Cunha

Matheus Cunha has been a standout performer for Wolves this season, drawing interest from several Premier League giants, including Arsenal and Liverpool.

The Brazilian forward, known for his technical ability and off-the-ball movement, has proven to be a key player for Wolves since arriving from Atlético Madrid in 2023.

Cunha initially made a name for himself at RB Leipzig and Hertha Berlin before securing a move to Atlético Madrid in 2021.

However, limited game time under Diego Simeone led him to seek a fresh challenge in England.

Since joining Wolves, he has flourished, scoring 15 goals and providing four assists in 29 appearances this season. His overall record for the club stands at 31 goals and 13 assists in 85 games.

The 25-year-old recently signed a new contract in 2025, extending his stay at Molineux until 2029. His deal includes a release clause of £62.5 million, which Tottenham may look to trigger to bring him to North London.

Spurs are also targetting Joao Gomes

Meanwhile, Joao Gomes, who is expected to cost in the region of £40m, is also on Spurs’ wish list.

Their interest in Gomes is not new, with the club tracking the midfielder since his move from Flamengo to Wolves in 2023.

The 24-year-old has established himself as a reliable presence in midfield, capable of operating as both a central and defensive midfielder.

Gomes has made 31 appearances for Wolves, contributing four goals and two assists. His tenacity, defensive capabilities, and ability to dictate play have made him an attractive target for Spurs, who are expected to make significant changes in midfield this summer.

With Yves Bissouma expected to be on his way out, Gomes, could be a key addition to reinforce the squad.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has hinted at a focused approach to recruitment, emphasising ‘smart purchases’ as the club aims to strengthen key areas while managing their budget effectively.

The potential signing of both Cunha and Gomes would be a major statement of intent from Tottenham, especially if they manage to fend off competition from Arsenal and Liverpool for Cunha’s signature.

As the summer window approaches, Tottenham’s pursuit of these two Wolves stars will be one to watch, with the club eager to bolster their squad for the challenges ahead.

Daniel Levy makes ‘challenging season’ admission as Tottenham make official announcement - CaughtOffside
Description

Tottenham Hotspur continues to solidify its reputation as a global brand, maintaining financial stability even as performances on the pitch remain inconsistent.

Under chairman Daniel Levy’s leadership, Spurs have emerged as one of the best-managed clubs financially, but their commercial success has not always translated into footballing triumphs.

Levy recently unveiled Tottenham’s financial results for the year ending June 30, 2024, revealing a slight drop in revenue from £549.6 million in 2023 to £528.2 million.

The decline is primarily attributed to the club’s absence from European competition and a reduced number of home fixtures compared to the previous season.

Despite the financial dip, the Spurs chairman remains optimistic, particularly about the club’s Europa League campaign, which presents a pathway to both silverware and Champions League qualification—a vital boost both competitively and financially.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy stresses importance of Europa League success

With Tottenham currently struggling in the Premier League, sitting 14th in the table, Levy has highlighted the crucial role of European success in the club’s ambitions.

The Spurs chairman also addressed the club’s transfer strategy, revealing that since the opening of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2019, the club has invested over £700 million in player recruitment.

Despite Spurs being ranked among the richest clubs in world football, he warned that sustainable spending is essential to safeguarding the club’s long-term future.

Beyond football-related revenue, Tottenham’s off-field ventures, including events at their world-class stadium, continue to play a crucial role in maintaining financial stability.

Issuing the statement on the official Tottenham website, he stated:

“As we announce our financial results for the year to 30 June 2024, we currently find ourselves in 14th position in the Premier League, navigating what has been a highly challenging season on the pitch.”

“We are, however, in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League. Winning this competition would see welcome silverware and mean qualification for the UEFA Champions League. We must do everything we can to support the team in these final key stages.”

“Since opening our new stadium in April 2019, we have invested over £700million net in player acquisitions. Recruitment remains a key focus, and we must ensure that we make smart purchases within our financial means.”

The need for the club to balance between footballing and financial ambition

While footballing success remains a priority, Tottenham’s off-field ventures continue to play a significant role in their financial strategy.

Events hosted at the state-of-the-art Tottenham Hotspur Stadium—including NFL games, concerts, and other major sporting spectacles—provide a consistent source of revenue, ensuring the club remains financially resilient.

As the longest-serving chairman in the Premier League, Levy has overseen Tottenham’s evolution into a commercial powerhouse, spearheading stadium development and financial growth while frequently reshuffling the managerial deck in pursuit of silverware.

Journalist confirms Arsenal, Liverpool & Tottenham are monitoring €60m-rated top midfielder - CaughtOffside
Description

Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Hugo Larsson from the German club Eintracht Frankfurt.

According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, the three Premier League clubs are monitoring his situation, and they could look to make a move for him in the summer. Manchester City are keen on the players as well, and they have already opened initial talks regarding a potential move.

The player has also been linked with Chelsea recently.

The 20-year-old Swedish midfielder is highly rated across Europe, and he has a bright future ahead of him. He could develop into a top-class player with coaching and experience. He has already established himself as a key player for the German club, and he has six goals in all competitions this season.

The technically gifted central midfielder will add control, composure, and creativity to the side if he joins the club. Arsenal could use someone like him. He could be an alternative to Martin Odegaard.

Liverpool & Tottenham want Hugo Larsson

Similarly, Liverpool need more creativity in the side as well. They need someone who can control the tempo of the game and help open up opportunities for his teammates. The 20-year-old has the vision, the technique and the execution to improve Liverpool in the middle of the park.

Tottenham need more depth in the midfield, and the 20-year-old could form a solid partnership with Pape Matar Sarr and Lucas Bergvall in the long term.

The player is reportedly valued at €60 million, and it will be interesting to see if any club is willing to pay that for him. There is no doubt that he’s a prodigious talent with a bright future, but he is relatively unproven at the highest level. The English clubs will hope to sign him for a more reasonable price, and it will be interesting to see if the Germans are willing to negotiate.

Report: Tottenham genuinely interested in signing Manchester City ace with 32 goals & 41 assists - CaughtOffside
Description

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for Manchester City attacker Jack Grealish this summer, as doubts grow over his future at the Etihad.

Grealish first rose to prominence at Aston Villa, captaining the club and playing a pivotal role in their promotion to the Premier League in 2019.

Across 213 appearances for Villa, he notched 32 goals and 41 assists, earning a record-breaking £100 million transfer to Manchester City in 2021—making him the most expensive British footballer at the time.

However, the 29-year-old has struggled to justify his hefty price tag at City. Pep Guardiola’s possession-based system has limited his ability to take on defenders and dictate play, unlike his more central and free-roaming role at Villa.

Injuries and increased competition, especially from players like Jeremy Doku, have further made it difficult for him to cement a regular starting spot.

This season, Grealish has made just 26 appearances across all competitions, scoring twice and providing five assists. More tellingly, only 14 of those appearances have come as a starter, underlining his diminished role in the squad.

Tottenham have genuine interest in Jack Grealish

His lack of impact and reduced role has made his future at the club uncertain, with Spurs emerging as a potential destination.

As per the latest from GiveMeSport, Tottenham had already shown interest in Grealish during the January window, though a move then was deemed unlikely.

However, key figures at Spurs reportedly hold a ‘genuine’ interest in the player and would be keen to sign him this summer—provided City’s asking price is reasonable.

A deal, though, would be far from straightforward. Grealish’s £300,000-per-week wages pose a significant hurdle, while City are unlikely to let him leave on the cheap.

Additionally, Tottenham face competition from Chelsea, who have also been linked, while Newcastle have reportedly been offered the chance to sign him.

With Grealish’s role at City continuing to diminish, speculation over his exit is intensifying. Whether Spurs can pull off the signing remains to be seen, but all signs point to the England international being on the move this summer.

“They would love to bring him in”: Romano reveals Tottenham want to sign Man City target - CaughtOffside
Description

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City want to sign Tyler Dibling from Southampton at the end of the season.

Southampton are set to go down to the Championship at the end of the season, and the 19-year-old attacker is likely to be on the move. He is one of the finest young talents in the Premier League right now, and it is no surprise that top clubs want to sign him.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the player is Tottenham’s top target heading into the summer window, and they would love to secure his signature.

Romano said to GMS: “At the moment, I can confirm that for Tottenham, he’s kind of their top target.

“They love the player, they would love to bring him in in the summer transfer window – but again, it’s not going to be super easy.

It remains to be seen whether they can beat the competition from Manchester City. The Premier League defending champions certainly have more financial resources compared to the London club, and they have a more ambitious project as well.

The 19-year-old could be attracted to the idea of joining both clubs, and it remains to be seen where he ends up. He will want to compete at a high level, and the likes of Tottenham and Manchester City will be able to provide him with the platform he needs. They could help him compete in Europe and fight for trophies.

Tyler Dibling would be an expensive addition

It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can secure an agreement with Southampton. The Saints value the player at £100 million, and it is highly unlikely that any club would be willing to pay that kind of money for the youngster. He is relatively unproven at the highest level, and Southampton will have to be more realistic with their demands in order for the move to go through.

Tottenham and Manchester City need more depth in the wide areas, and the 19-year-old will add pace, flair and unpredictability to their attack. He is already a reliable performer in the English top flight, and he will only improve with coaching and experience.

88% pass accuracy, 6 duels won: Palace must keep Tottenham-linked star after FA Cup heroics - CaughtOffside
Description

Crystal Palace secured their place in the semifinals of the FA Cup with a 3-0 win away from home against Fulham earlier today.

The Eagles put on a splendid showing against their rivals, and they will be delighted to head to Wembley for the semifinals. This is a golden opportunity for them to win a trophy this season and it will be interesting to see if the Eagles can continue to perform at a high-level in the remaining matches of the tournament.

Meanwhile, midfielder Eberechi Eze put on an outstanding performance for his team in the quarter-finals, and he managed to score a goal and pick up and assist as well. The 26-year-old England international not only helped his team in the final third, but he was equally impressive defensively as well. He helped his team out with his defensive contribution throughout the game, and he managed to win six ground duels. He produced three tackles and an interception as well.

The midfielder was excellent with his playmaking in the final third, completing 88% of his passes.

Tottenham keen on Eberechi Eze

The player has been heavily linked with a move away from Crystal Palace in recent months, with clubs like Tottenham keeping tabs on him. It will be interesting to see if the North London outfit decides to make a move for him at the end of the season.

They could use more creativity and technical ability in the final third. Eze will add some much-needed unpredictability to their attack with his flair as well.

Based on his performance against Fulham in a big game today and his displays throughout the season, Crystal Palace simply cannot afford to lose a player of his calibre if they want to establish themselves as a top-half team. Palace managed to ward off his suitors in January.

It remains to be seen whether they can convince the player to stay at the club beyond this season. Perhaps winning a trophy could showcase their ambitions and convince the midfielder to stay.

Tottenham “most likely” to sign England international amid extensive competition - CaughtOffside
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the LOSC Lille midfielder Angel Gomes at the end of the season.

The 24-year-old midfielder will be a free agent in the summer, and he has decided not to renew his contract with the French outfit. He will move on as a free agent, and multiple clubs are keen on securing his signature in the summer.

He has been heavily linked with a return to the Premier League, and it remains to be seen whether the former Manchester United Academy graduate decides to return to England. The opportunity to play in the Premier League could be an exciting one for him.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on securing his signature, and Dean Jones believes that they are the most likely club as far as his next destination is concerned.

Speaking on the Ranks FC podcast, Jones said: “I do believe that Tottenham are the most likely club to get this done if he [Gomes] comes to England. Now, it’s worth bearing in mind, he does have offers outside of England too.

“I haven’t been given any firm names on who they are, but I’m told he has very good profile clubs interested in him from Spain and Germany.”

Angel Gomes would improve Spurs

Gomes has proven his quality in Ligue 1, and he has the technical attributes to do well in the Premier League as well. He has impressed at the international level with the England national team as well.

He will want to establish himself as a top-class midfielder, and moving to the Premier League will certainly help his cause. Regular football in England could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his potential.

Tottenham need more creativity and technical ability in the final third, and the 24-year-old could compete with James Maddison for the starting spot. He will help create scoring opportunities for his teammates and open up deep defences with his flair, vision, and passing.

Tottenham want “exceptional” Premier League star to replace first-team mainstay - CaughtOffside
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi at the end of the season.

The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the best central defenders in the Premier League, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition. According to a report from Fichajes, Cristian Romero could be on his way out of the club, and Tottenham are looking at potential replacements for him.

They believe that Guehi could be the most suitable option to replace the Argentine international. The 24-year-old has shown his quality in the Premier League over the years with Crystal Palace, and he has been labelled “exceptional” by the former England manager, Garreth Southgate.

Marc Guehi must join a big club now

He has the qualities to compete at a high level and play for a big club. The opportunity to move to Tottenham will be quite exciting for him, and he will want to compete in European football and fight for trophies with them. However, Crystal Palace are unlikely to let him leave for cheap, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham are prepared to pay a substantial amount of money for him. The player is on the radar of Liverpool as well.

This is the right time for the England international defender to take a new step in his career and join a bigger club. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. He is a proven performer in the Premier League and he will look to hit the ground running at Tottenham if the move goes through.

Ideally, Tottenham will not want to lose Romero in the summer, but they could be powerless to stop him from leaving if the defender decides to force an exit amid interest from top clubs.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo at the end of the season.

The Ghanaian International has done quite well for the Cherries this season, and he has nine goals and six assists to his name across all competitions.

According to a report from Fichajes, he has been identified as a potential option to replace club legend Son Heung-min. He has been linked with Arsenal and Chelsea as well.

The 25-year-old has the qualities to compete at the highest level, and he could be an important sign for Tottenham in the long term. He has shown his ability with Bournemouth, and he will only improve with coaching and experience.

Semenyo is versatile enough to operate as a wide player as well as a centre forward. His ability to create goal-scoring opportunities and find the back of the net with regularity could make him an asset for the North London club.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can negotiate a reasonable deal to sign him. The player is highly rated in the Premier League and his teammate Lewis Cook believes that he is a player with “all the ability in the world”.

Tottenham move would be ideal for Antoine Semenyo

The attacker is entering the peak years of his career, and he will want to play for a club where he will be able to challenge for major trophies. Tottenham will be able to provide him with that platform. They could help him compete in European football as well. Joining Tottenham would be a major step up in his career, and this could be the right time for him to try out a new challenge.

Son has been an exceptional performer for Tottenham over the years, but he is in the twilight stages of his career and Tottenham need to plan for a future without him. The 25 year old Premier League attacker could be the ideal alternative.

Report: A change of heart at Tottenham could now see them sell their star player - CaughtOffside
Description

Tottenham Hotspur could be set for a major defensive shake-up this summer, with vice-captain Cristian Romero’s future at the club now uncertain.

Despite being under contract until 2027, speculation is growing over a potential exit—a significant shift from Spurs’ earlier stance on securing his long-term future.

The club had initially been keen to secure Romero’s long-term future, recognizing his leadership and defensive prowess. Reports have even stated that the club is willing to make him their highest-paid player.

Tottenham now considering selling Cristian Romero

However, as per the latest report from GiveMeSport, Tottenham may now be open to offers, with Atletico Madrid leading the chase for his signature.

The report claims that Diego Simeone is pushing for Atletico to sign the World Cup winner, with the Spanish giants already making contact with Romero’s camp over a possible summer move.

Atletico are reportedly prepared to offer around £33 million—far below Tottenham’s valuation—making a deal unlikely unless a more suitable bid is tabled.

Cristian Romero has grown frustrated at Tottenham of late

Romero, who initially joined Spurs on loan from Atalanta in 2021 before making the move permanent a year later, has been a key figure in Tottenham’s backline. His aggressive, no-nonsense defending and leadership qualities saw him named vice-captain ahead of the 2023–24 season.

However, injuries have plagued his campaign. A hamstring issue sidelined him for nearly three months before he returned in a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth earlier this month. So far, he has been limited to just 17 appearances across all competitions.

The player has been left upset with the way his injuries have been managed by the club. He has also admitted to be unhappy with the current situation of the club and has also criticised the Spurs hierarchy earlier in the season. All of this has added to the uncertainty surrounding his career.

Despite his fitness struggles, Romero’s pedigree remains unquestionable. He played a crucial role in Argentina’s Copa América and World Cup triumphs, proving himself as one of the best defenders in world football.

With the summer transfer window approaching, Spurs now face a key decision: hold on to a defender who, when fit, is one of the league’s best—or cash in and reshape their backline. One thing is certain, Romero’s future will be a major talking point in the coming months.
