Description

It has been revealed that an EFL starlet, who Tottenham Hotspur are keen on landing this summer, has received ‘numerous offers’, with a fresh report talking up the chances of the player making a big move.

Tottenham Hotspur have had plenty of success with their recent recruits from the Championship, with Archie Gray hitting the ground running at the club while Djed Spence has eventually become a hit after a difficult couple of years in North London.

Spurs are now allegedly ready to turn their attention to another teenage midfielder, who has been turning a lot of heads with his performances in English football’s second tier this season.

It has been reported over recent weeks that Tottenham are ready to turn their attention to Jobe Bellingham, with Ange Postecoglou’s men said to have been impressed by the 19-year-old’s progress at the Stadium of Light.

Jobe Bellingham is likely to leave Sunderland this summer

Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg has now taken to social media to reveal that Bellingham has no shortage of offers ahead of the summer, with numerous clubs chasing him.

One of those is said to be RB Leipzig, who are ‘seriously interested’ in the Sunderland man and have held initial talks over a possible transfer.

Plettenberg says that for the moment, the Bundesliga club deem the deal to be ‘too expensive’, but he adds that Bellingham is ‘likely’ to be on the move this summer.

How much would Bellingham cost Tottenham this summer?

This update from Plettenberg comes a couple of weeks after it was reported that Sunderland are expected to demand £20m for Bellingham this summer.

Other sources have indicated that Man United are ready to battle Tottenham for Bellingham’s signature this summer, with the Red Devils also said to be big fans of the young midfielder.

The same update also suggested that the Black Cats would be in a strong position to hold on to their star man if they achieve promotion to the Premier League.

Description

One injured Tottenham man, who has been out of action since early February, was spotted training with his teammates at Hotspur Way this week, thus providing Ange Postecoglou a major injury boost.

Tottenham’s injury situation is nowhere near as bad as it was earlier in the season, but the Lilywhites have still had a few significant absentees over recent weeks.

One of those is Richarlison, who has been out of action since the Carabao Cup semi-final defeat against Liverpool in early February.

The Brazilian has hardly been able to build any momentum over the past couple of seasons, being ravaged by injuries, but his comeback is now seemingly not far away.

Richarlison spotted back in Tottenham training

Tottenham released a video of the team training on Friday following the return of all their players from international duty.

To Spurs fans’ delight, Richarlison was seen with the rest of his teammates, with the forward seen signing autographs for fans ahead of training. He was also seen going through a warm-up with his teammates and appeared to be moving without any discomfort.

While there was not any footage of him taking part in the attacking drills, it does seem like the former Everton man is not far away from a return.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Could Richarlison have a fairytale ending to his Spurs journey?

It has been widely reported over recent months that Tottenham are prepared to cash in on Richarlison at the end of the season.

However, he could still have a vital role to play over the coming months as an option to rotate with Dominic Solanke, particularly given that Mathys Tel does not seem suited to playing as a number nine.

The 27-year-old could end his time with the club in style by helping them get their hands on the Europa League trophy.

Tottenham find out eye-watering price tag for Antoine Semenyo this summer

Tottenham find out eye-watering price tag for Antoine Semenyo this summer - The Spurs Web
Description

Tottenham Hotspur reportedly have to break their transfer record to sign Antoine Semenyo this summer, a winger who Ange Postecoglou is thought to be keen on bringing to North London.

It has been a disappointing season for Tottenham’s wide players, with Wilson Odobert missing much of the campaign due to injury, while Heung-min Son and Brennan Johnson have struggled for consistency.

It thus comes as no surprise to hear that the Lilywhites are already looking at options to reinforce their wide areas this summer, and it has been widely reported over recent months that one Bournemouth man has caught their eye.

Tottenham have allegedly earmarked Semenyo as a “top target” for the summer window, and the club have just learned how much they will have to pay for the winger.

Tottenham have to break the bank to sign Antoine Semenyo

A fresh report in Inews reveals that the Cherries are expected to demand top dollar if any club come calling for the Ghana international this season.

The outlet focuses on Newcastle’s interest in the wide-man, naming Semenyo as one of four options on the Magpies wishlist ahead of the summer.

However, it is explained that the South Coast club value the 25-year-old at £70m, and they are well protected given that the winger’s contract at the Vitality Stadium runs until 2029.

MORE SPURS STORIES

That means that in order to sign Semenyo, Tottenham would have to break their transfer record for the second season running after doing so last summer to sign another player from Bournemouth: Dominic Solanke.

Spurs may have an ace up their sleeve in Semenyo pursuit

There is no doubt that Semenyo is going to attract a lot of interest this summer but there is one way Spurs could potentially move to the front of the queue.

It has been widely reported over recent weeks that Andoni Iraola is Tottenham’s top target to replace Ange Postecoglou this summer.

If Spurs are able to get Iraola through the door, the Spaniard may be able to convince Semenyo to follow him to North London.

Tottenham eye £50m Sporting Lisbon defender amid Cristian Romero rumours - The Spurs Web
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are in the market for a new centre-back, and with Cristian Romero’s future uncertain, they have placed Sporting CP’s Ousmane Diomande high on their list of potential replacements.

If Tottenham Hotspur had any thoughts of avoiding a defensive signing this summer, those plans may have quickly changed following the latest updates on Romero.

It was reported recently that Cristian Romero is likely to leave Tottenham at the end of the season, with the lack of Champions League football playing a key role in his potential departure.

Adding to the speculation, Atletico Madrid have expressed their interest in Romero, with reports suggesting the Spanish club has already made contact regarding a possible move.

Tottenham Hotspur eye Ousmane Diomande

With these developments, Tottenham are seemingly now actively searching for defensive reinforcements and Ousmane Diomande has emerged as a potential target.

According to TBR Football, Ousmane Diomande is set to leave Sporting CP this summer, and Spurs are said to have been keeping close tabs on him throughout the season, particularly in recent months.

The Ivorian centre-back has a release clause of £67 million, but the outlet indicates he could be available for around £50 million.

MORE SPURS STORIES

It is claimed that Diomande is a priority for Tottenham, however, they are not alone in their pursuit, as several other Premier League clubs have also shown serious interest in securing his signature.

Other Premier League clubs join the race

Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Newcastle United are all reportedly monitoring the situation closely.

For City, the potential arrival of Sporting’s current director, Hugo Viana, at the Etihad Stadium could strengthen their position in the race, with Viana said to be keen on bringing Diomande with him.

Meanwhile, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Newcastle have been tracking his progress and could rival Tottenham Hotspur for his signature.

Tottenham, of course, will be weighing up all of their options. Luka Vuskovic, currently out on loan, has been impressive and is set to return this summer.

Tottenham should use Atletico Madrid interest in Cristian Romero to secure player swap

Tottenham should use Atletico Madrid interest in Cristian Romero to secure player swap - The Spurs Web
Description

It’s shaping up to be a massive summer for Spurs, with both incomings and outgoings expected to dominate the headlines. But with Atletico Madrid circling around two key Tottenham players – Cristian Romero and Rodrigo Bentancur – could the club take advantage of the situation and arrange a swap deal?

This summer transfer window is already shaping up to be a busy one for Spurs, with at least two signings likely to be made.

Tottenham have an obligation to buy Kevin Danso for £21 million, while there is a £45.7 million option to sign Mathys Tel should they choose to trigger the clause.

On the outgoing front, we’ve already identified ten players who Tottenham should look to move on, and some departures are all but certain.

Timo Werner’s disappointing loan spell means he is set to return to RB Leipzig, while Manor Solomon could join Leeds United if they secure promotion back to the Premier League.

Bryan Gil, despite his ongoing injury struggles, is still being linked with a move to Girona, reinforcing the likelihood of several exits from Hotspur Way in the coming months.

Atletico Madrid’s interest in Cristian Romero and Rodrigo Bentancur

While it’s no surprise to see certain names expected to leave Tottenham, few would have anticipated Cristian Romero or Rodrigo Bentancur being in the conversation. Yet, recent reports suggest both players could be on the move.

MORE SPURS STORIES

The Argentine centre-back, in particular, has been making headlines. Romero is reportedly open to leaving Spurs, driven by his desire to play Champions League football next season.

Atletico Madrid have emerged as a potential destination for Romero, with reports indicating that initial contact has already been made with his representatives.

Bentancur, meanwhile, has endured a frustrating season. Once one of Spurs’ standout midfielders under Antonio Conte, the Uruguayan has struggled to replicate that form since returning from injury.

With Bentancur’s contract situation at Spurs still unresolved, some Tottenham fans believe it would make more sense to cash in on Bentancur rather than offer him a new deal.

Of course, Atletico Madrid are said to be monitoring the situation closely, further fuelling speculation over his future.

Could Tottenham negotiate a swap deal for Conor Gallagher?

Losing either of these players, particularly Romero, would be a significant blow. The centre-back has a wealth of experience, having won the World Cup and Copa America with Argentina, and remains one of the top defenders in Tottenham squad.

However, if Spurs are to part ways with one of them, Bentancur seems the more logical choice. Given Atletico’s interest, Tottenham could explore a creative solution—using him as part of a swap deal.

A potential move could see Bentancur head to Madrid while Spurs bring in Conor Gallagher, a player Tottenham has been linked with in the past.

Given that Gallagher only joined Atletico last summer, Daniel Levy and co. would likely need to include a cash sum to sweeten the deal. Perhaps a package of Bentancur plus £20 million would be a fair trade for both clubs.

For Tottenham Hotspur, it would mean offloading a player who has struggled this season and replacing him with a midfielder eager to prove himself in England again after his Chelsea departure. It’s a move that could work for all parties involved—if Levy is willing to play his cards right.

Description

Chelsea have received another major boost ahead of their clash with Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday, as Blues star Cole Palmer returns to training.

Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are miles apart in the Premier League table, with the Blues sitting in fourth while the Lilywhites languish in 14th place.

Regardless of their positions, this fixture is always a heated battle, with both sides desperate to get one over their London rivals.

For Spurs, a win would provide a huge morale boost and some much-needed momentum as they look to salvage their season.

Chelsea, on the other hand, needs all three points to solidify their push for Champions League football next season.

Cole Palmer back in Chelsea training ahead of Tottenham clash

The Blues were given some encouraging news earlier in the week as Nicolas Jackson returned to training, boosting their attacking options ahead of the derby.

They have now received further good news regarding their talisman, Cole Palmer, who was a major doubt ahead of this clash.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Kieran Gill of the Daily Mail has reported that Palmer has returned to training with his teammates for the first time since suffering a muscular problem before the international break.

This is a huge boost for Enzo Maresca’s side, as Palmer was instrumental in Chelsea’s 4-3 win the last time these two sides met in the Premier League.

The Englishman bagged a brace that night, and his presence would significantly strengthen Chelsea’s attacking threat.

Tottenham’s Stamford Bridge struggles continue

Of course, Spurs will be eager to finally get one over their London rivals, but history is not on their side.

Stamford Bridge has been a miserable hunting ground for Tottenham, with their last win there coming in 2018 when Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen fired them to victory.

Five free agents Tottenham Hotspur should look at this summer

Five free agents Tottenham Hotspur should look at this summer - The Spurs Web
Description

While big-money signings always grab headlines, there’s value to be found in the free-agent market. Here are five players Spurs should consider signing without spending a penny on transfer fees.

The summer transfer window is expected to be a busy one for the Lilywhites. A significant number of players could be on their way into the club, as well as out of it.

We have already highlighted ten players we think Tottenham Hotspur should part ways with this summer.

We have also given our thoughts on five players Spurs should target, particularly if they are looking to shop from Bournemouth.

However, transfers are not always about splashing big money—some quality players are available for free, and this summer is no different. Here are five free agents Spurs should seriously consider.

Jonathan David would bolster Tottenham’s attack

David is a strong forward who would significantly bolster Spurs’ attacking line. Tottenham have been left thin up front this season due to injuries, particularly to Richarlison, who has managed just 14 appearances, with six being starts at the time of writing.

With Tel considered more suited to the wings, Tottenham are in desperate need of another forward, and David fits the bill.

MORE SPURS STORIES

He has the pedigree, given his performances in Ligue 1 and the Champions League, and could provide much-needed depth.

Angel Gomes available as a free midfield option

If you have been following SpursWeb’s coverage, you will know that Gomes is a player Spurs have been linked with for some time and are even labelleda favourite to sign him.

Of course, like David, he is available on a free transfer, meaning Tottenham can pick him up without paying a fee to his club.

With Tottenham expected to prioritise midfield reinforcements this summer, adding Gomes as a squad option for free would be a smart piece of business.

Kyle Walker-Peters could return to Tottenham

An ex-Spurs man, but with his contract expiring, Tottenham could do with a signing like him. The reason is clear—we do not have enough cover at full-back.

The current options include Pedro Porro and Djed Spence, who is versatile enough to play both on the right and left, as well as Destiny Udogie.

However, one or two injuries in that position, and Spurs’ season could be in shambles. Of course, Ben Davies and Archie Gray can do a job there, but extra cover is essential.

Jonathan Tah is an ideal replacement for Cristian Romero

If the rumours are true that Cristian Romero wants out of Tottenham to play Champions League football, then Spurs need a replacement.

Tah, a centre-back with experience at the highest level, fits the bill perfectly. Just like Romero, he knows what it takes to win trophies.

The Leverkusen man was integral to Xabi Alonso’s side when they came close to a historic treble last season, eventually securing the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal.

Tyrick Mitchell offers defensive depth for Tottenham

If Spurs decide against signing Walker-Peters, then Mitchell is another full-back up for grabs. A left-back who could push Udogie for a starting spot is needed at the club, and Mitchell would do just that.

If Tottenham were to bring him in, he would provide competition for Udogie, while Spence could push Porro for a place on the right.

Of course, one thing remains certain—Spurs need extra full-back cover, and if there are free agents with Premier League experience available, they simply have to take advantage.

Tottenham Hotspur enter early talks to sign their ‘top summer target’

Tottenham Hotspur enter early talks to sign their ‘top summer target’ - The Spurs Web
Description

Despite Southampton’s hefty Tyler Dibling valuation, new reports suggest Tottenham Hotspur are leading the race to sign the highly-rated youngster.

It was recently reported that Southampton have set a staggering £100million valuation on Dibling, a figure that left many questioning their reasoning.

Given the winger’s limited top-flight experience, it’s no surprise that the price tag has been met with scepticism, particularly from Spurs fans who see Southampton’s Dibling valuation as excessive.

While some believe Southampton are simply trying to fend off interest, others argue that it’s an unrealistic demand that won’t hold up in the market.

However, despite this, fresh reports now indicate that Tottenham are pushing ahead in their pursuit of the talented 19-year-old.

Spurs push ahead for Tyler Dibling despite competition

According to Football Insider, Spurs have now moved swiftly to gain an advantage over rival clubs, having already held preliminary talks over a potential move for Tyler Dibling.

Fabrizio Romano says Tottenham see Dibling as their top transfer target heading into the summer.

MORE SPURS STORIES

The 19-year-old has also attracted interest from Manchester United, Liverpool, and several Bundesliga clubs, but it is Tottenham who are reportedly leading the chase.

It has also been reported that Southampton’s £100million price tag is viewed as an attempt to deter interest rather than a genuine valuation, but with the winger rejecting a new contract at St Mary’s, the expectation is that he will leave for a lower fee.

Southampton’s Dibling stance could weaken

With Southampton facing the real possibility of Championship football next season, their negotiating power is weakening. The club may struggle to justify their valuation, especially if they fail to secure top-flight status.

That said, the Saints have no intention of allowing their best young players to leave on the cheap. Reports suggest they remain firm on receiving a significant fee should they be forced to sell.

Dibling’s contract runs until 2027, making this summer the club’s best opportunity to cash in while his stock remains high.

Tottenham Hotspur fans react as new three-man manager shortlist is revealed

Tottenham Hotspur fans react as new three-man manager shortlist is revealed - The Spurs Web
Description

Tottenham Hotspur fans have been reacting to reports that Andoni Iraola has emerged as the front-runner to replace Ange Postecoglou, should the club decide to part ways with the Australian this summer.

Andoni Iraola is one of five Bournemouth figures we believe Spurs should poach this summer. Ange Postecoglou is under mounting pressure, with reports suggesting Postecoglou’s job could be on the line following Spurs’ poor run of form.

Their latest setback, a 2-0 defeat to Fulham, marked their 15th loss of the campaign and intensified speculation over his future.

While there is a growing belief that Postecoglou will remain in charge until the end of the season before a final decision is made, reports claim the Spurs have already drawn up a shortlist of potential managerial replacements. And at the top of that list is one name—Andoni Iraola.

Spurs eye Andoni Iraola as Ange Postecoglou successor

Iraola has been turning heads at Bournemouth, guiding them to impressive performances, including a win over Postecoglou’s Spurs earlier in the season.

Their second league meeting ended in a 2-2 draw, though that result arguably flattered Tottenham, as Bournemouth looked the better side for much of the match.

It’s no surprise, then, that Spurs have identified Iraola as their primary target should they opt for a managerial change.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Marco Silva and Thomas Frank are also reportedly on the shortlist. But with the latest reports placing Iraola at the top, Tottenham fans have been quick to share their opinions.

Tottenham fans have their say on next manager

One fan dismissed the options altogether, saying, “All three are worse than Ange, must be nice.” Another took a more cynical view: “Rinse and repeat – see you in 18 months’ time.”

Some fans were more open to change, with one stating, “Frank is my pick, but I’d be happy with any of them.” Another added, “Frank is the best option, but people are overhating Iraola.”

Others remain sceptical, with one supporter questioning: “Seriously, what is the difference between Iraola and Ange? Same injury issues despite Iraola playing once a week, and they both play a near-identical brand of football. With the options available, we might as well keep Ange.“

Another fan looked at it from a tactical perspective: “We’ll play more pragmatically, no doubt, but it’ll be worth it against the bigger teams if we defend better. Frank uses a variety of tactics. Wouldn’t mind getting him at all. I’d just prefer Hütter.”

Description

Two European giants are now circling over one experienced Tottenham man, thus forcing Tottenham to fast-forward their formal talks over a new contract for the player, with the Lilywhites determined to keep him at the club.

It has been widely reported over the last month that Tottenham have held talks with Rodrigo Bentacnur over a new contract as the midfielder edges closer to the final year of his deal.

The Uruguayan has continued to be an important player for Ange Postecoglou’s side this season, even though he has not been able to show the kind of consistency that he did prior to his ACL injury in 2023.

Over recent days, a number of reports have claimed that Atletico Madrid have reached out to Bentancur over a summer transfer, and a fresh update has now shed light on how Tottenham have reacted.

Tottenham draft Rodrigo Bentancur plan amidst transfer interest

TEAMtalk say that it is not only Atletico that have shown a keen interest in the Spurs midfielder but also AC Milan, who are keen to take the player back to Serie A.

Amidst this development, Tottenham are now ready to open ‘formal talks’ with Bentancur’s camp as they look to stave off interest from two European giants.

The report says that exploratory talks have already taken place between the North London club and the midfielder’s entourage, and the signs have been positive.

MORE SPURS STORIES

A decision on a new contract could be reached soon, and it is explained that the player could leverage the transfer interest to get favourable terms at Hotspur Way.

Do Spurs expect Bentancur to sign a new deal?

TEAMtalk say that as things stand, it is more likely that Bentancur prioritises a new contract at Spurs rather than engaging with suitors regarding a potential summer move.

Given how the exploratory talks have gone so far between the parties, Tottenham Hotspur are calm about the situation.

The Lilywhites are determined to keep hold of the former Juventus man and do not expect him to agitate for a move this summer.
