The Boy Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur defensive midfielder Yves Bissouma’s future at the club is now in question.

According to Josh Hughes from The Mail, who discussed the situation on The Spurs Chat Podcast, Bissouma might be put up for sale following a suspension by manager Ange Postecoglou.

The Mali international recently found himself in trouble after being caught on video inhaling nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, just days before the new Premier League season. The incident sparked considerable criticism, leading Bissouma to issue a public apology, where he admitted to a “severe lack of judgment.”

In response, Postecoglou suspended Bissouma from the team’s opening match, making it clear that the midfielder needs to regain the trust of both the manager and his teammates.

Although Postecoglou acknowledged Bissouma’s mistake, he indicated that the door remains open for the player to rebuild his reputation and learn from this incident.

Hughes noted that, despite the disciplinary action, Bissouma remains a talented player in a highly competitive role, and there could be significant interest in him if Tottenham decide to sell.

Given the demand for quality defensive midfielders, several clubs would likely be eager to secure his services.

Hughes said:

“Bissouma could be one that goes now. That is a new one, who might take him? I think there would be a lot of takers for him because there aren’t a huge amount of good players in that defensive midfield position.”

Last season, Bissouma was an important figure for Spurs, making 28 Premier League appearances under Ange Postecoglou. The manager was immediately impressed by him and used him in the midfield pivot alongside Pape Matar Sarr for most of the season.

However, his recent actions have cast a shadow over his standing at the club, leaving his future at Tottenham in doubt.

As Tottenham Hotspur gear up for the new Premier League season, the club is driven by high ambitions after narrowly missing out on a Champions League spot last year.

Under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, Spurs finished 5th, just two points shy of the top four, and impressed with their possession-based football style.

However, former England international Joe Cole has cast a cautious shadow over Tottenham’s prospects for the upcoming campaign.

Speaking to TNT Sports News, Cole suggested that Spurs might struggle to break into the top four again this season, despite their efforts to strengthen the squad during the summer transfer window.

Cole, a former Chelsea player, implied that his old club could outperform Tottenham in the 2024-25 season.

While he did not provide detailed reasons for his prediction, it underscores the intense competition Spurs are likely to face from their Premier League rivals.

Tottenham have made several notable signings this summer, including Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth, who was among the top Premier League scorers last season.

Additionally, the club has bolstered its midfield with promising young talents like Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, both of whom are expected to make significant contributions.

As Spurs prepare for the new season, they are focused on challenging for a top-four finish and securing a return to the Champions League.

With a blend of experienced players and emerging stars, Tottenham will be determined to defy Cole’s prediction and achieve success in the upcoming campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Piero Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen.

The 22-year-old central defender has attracted the attention of the north London club with his performances and it will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for him in the remaining days of the term window.

According to Studio Futbol, Spurs are ‘very interested’ in securing his services and they will have to compete with their top four rivals Liverpool.

Hincapie has proven himself to be a reliable performer in the Bundesliga and he has the quality to succeed in English football as well. Tottenham need another quality central defender to complete the defensive unit for the foreseeable future and the South American would be the ideal acquisition.

He is young enough to improve further and he is already operating at a top class level. Hincapie will be tempted to compete at a higher level after proving himself in the Bundesliga and winning the league title with Leverkusen.

A move to Tottenham will be an exciting opportunity. Tottenham will look to compete for Champions League qualification next season and they will be competing in the UEFA Europa League as well. They have an ambitious project and an exciting squad. The Ecuador international could be attracted to the idea of joining them.

Similarly, Liverpool need defensive reinforcements after the departure of Joel Matip and Hincapie seems like the ideal fit for them as well. Both clubs have the financial resources to get the deal done but the German outfit are not keen on sanctioning his departure. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the Bundesliga champions with a lucrative offer in the coming weeks.

Tottenham Hotspur may still have a chance to sign Chelsea captain Conor Gallagher after a surprising twist in the midfielder’s proposed transfer to Atletico Madrid.

Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth recently provided an update that will excite Spurs fans, as the North London club has been strongly linked with Gallagher since last summer.

Tottenham’s interest in Gallagher dates back to last summer, when a deadline day move for the player fell through.

Despite high expectations that Spurs would revive their interest in January, the club opted to wait until the summer transfer window.

However, no formal move was made, and it seemed that Tottenham had missed their chance when Chelsea agreed on a deal with Atletico Madrid last week.

But recent developments have cast doubt on the transfer. It was reported that the deal’s success depends on Chelsea signing a player from Atletico in return, with Portuguese forward Joao Felix being the focal point of these negotiations.

However, recent developments have cast doubt on the transfer, with Gallagher returning to London, leaving the agreement with the Spanish club in limbo.

Amid this uncertainty, Dharmesh Sheth shared an update on Gallagher’s situation that could reignite Tottenham’s pursuit of the midfielder.

When asked if Tottenham are going to be keeping an eye on Gallagher’s situation, Sheth told GiveMeSport:

“I’m sure they will be keeping an eye on this situation, and that would be the second-worst case scenario for Chelsea.

“The way that they orchestrated this deal was that they offered him a two-year contract, which effectively is telling him that we want to sell you. And then, not only that, but they effectively chose the club that he was going to, which was Atletico Madrid – a club outside of the Premier League.

“They didn’t want him to go to a Premier League rival. Now that he is not going there, are Chelsea going to have to entertain potential deals from clubs in the Premier League?”

Gallagher has scored 10 goals and assisted another 10 in 95 appearances for the first team. He particularly impressed last season under Mauricio Pochettino, scoring 7 and assisting 9 in 50 appearances across all competitions. (Transfermarkt)

With the Atletico Madrid move in jeopardy, Chelsea may have to reconsider their options, potentially opening the door for a Premier League club to sign Gallagher.

Tottenham, who have been monitoring the situation closely, could make a move if Chelsea are forced to entertain offers from domestic rivals.

Tottenham appear to have agreed a new deal with one of their most promising young players.

Spurs insider Paul O’Keefe confirmed the news on X, stating that Donley has agreed to improved terms that lengthen his previous contract, which was due to expire in 2027.

It's already signed. New improved longer deal 🤝

— Paul O Keefe (@pokeefe1) August 15, 2024

The new agreement reportedly extends Donley’s stay until 2028 and represents a major milestone in his developing career.

This extension not only ensures the 19-year-old remains a part of Tottenham’s future plans but also shows how highly the club values his potential and progress.

Having joined Tottenham’s youth academy at the age of eight in 2013, Donley has been a standout performer at every level. He made his debut for the Spurs Under-18 team in November 2020, scoring against Leicester City.

Since then, the young forward has continued to impress, showcasing his goal-scoring ability and playmaking skills.

Donley’s development has been rapid. In the 2020–21 season, he scored three goals in ten appearances in the Under-18 Premier League, contributing to the team’s successes in the Under-17 and Under-18 leagues.

Last season, he further demonstrated his attacking prowess, scoring 8 goals and providing 17 assists in 27 appearances across all competitions.

The club has decided to loan him out to Leyton Orient for further development, as reported by Alasdair Gold.

As Donley prepares to gain valuable first-team experience on loan at League One side Leyton Orient, Tottenham eagerly anticipate his continued development and his contributions to the club’s future success.

Tottenham have held talks with former Barcelona skipper Sergi Roberto about a potential move this summer.

Tottenham want to ensure they have everything in place for the start of the 2024/25 season. Ange Postecoglou and their recruitment team have worked hard all summer to sign a few of their top targets and now they want to ensure they have enough depth in all areas of the pitch to try and compete for major titles this season.

According to a report from Mundo Deportivo via SportWitness, the North London club recently held talks with Sergi Roberto regarding a move to the Premier League. The 32-year-old has been a free agent since the end of June after his contract with Barcelona came to an end.

While reports suggested that the Catalan giants could look to offer him an extension, they have decided against it and the player has already said goodbye to his childhood club on Tuesday. He is on the lookout for a new opportunity and there is no shortage of interest in his services.

Clubs from the Saudi Pro League as well as the Major League Soccer want to sign the two-time Champions League winner but he is determined to continue in Europe and Spurs are one of the interested clubs.

With Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Emerson Royal leaving the club, Tottenham are looking to add depth to the midfield as well as the right-back position and Roberto could solve both those problems. He prefers playing in midfield but is capable enough to start as a right-back when needed.

While they did hold talks with the Spanish star, those talks haven’t progressed and West Ham seem to be in a much better position than Spurs in the race for the 32-year-old’s services. The report suggests that the ex-Barcelona skipper will soon make a final decision about his future amidst interest from across Europe.

Former Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho wants to reunite with Sergio Reguilon at Fenerbahce.

While Tottenham are expected to sign a few more stars before the end of the transfer window, players who are surplus to requirements are expected to leave the club. Sergio Reguilon is one of the players whose future isn’t certain and according to a report from AS, Fenerbahce boss Jose Mourinho has asked for the signing of the former Real Madrid academy product.

Spurs forked out around €30 million back in 2020 to sign Reguilon from Los Blancos. While he was quite an important part of their first team in the initial years, the Spanish international has gone down the pecking order at Tottenham. He has spent the last 24 months out on loan and is not considered to be an important part of Ange Postecoglou’s plans moving ahead.

With less than 12 months left on his deal, Spurs are ready to cash in on the 27-year-old who is keen on a move away in search of regular first-team action. There is interest in his services from Turkey. Jose Mourinho seems keen on reuniting with the Spanish left-back at Fenerbahce after having worked together at the North London club back in the day.

Ferdi Kadıoğlu is the first-choice left-back at the Turkish club. The 24-year-old has been linked with a move away. If he does end up joining Brighton who are ready to pay €30 million for the Turkish international, Mourinho believes Reguilon could help replace him.

Tottenham have opened talks with AS Monaco for the services of Brazilian full-back Vanderson.

The North London club have done some exceptional transfer business this summer and they are looking to end things on a high with a few more additions to their team in the final weeks of the transfer window. They are looking to reinforce the right-back position and according to a report from UOL, Tottenham are interested in the services of Vanderson and people close to the player feel a move could happen before the transfer deadline.

After long-drawn negotiations with AC Milan, Spurs finally managed to get Emerson Royal off their books. With the Brazilian international no longer at the club, they are looking to bring in another right-back. They want someone who can compete with Pedro Porro for a place in the starting XI and feel the 23-year-old AS Monaco star could be a great fit for them.

After coming up the ranks and making a name for himself at Grêmio, he made the move to the French club in the winter of 2022 in a deal worth €11 million and hasn’t looked back since. While he still has four years left on his deal at Monaco, Tottenham are keen on his signature and they have opened talks with the Ligue 1 outfit.

They are preparing to make a move for him with the Monaco expecting an offer of around €40 million for the youngster. People close to the player believe the two parties could reach an agreement for his transfer with Vanderson being one of the top targets for Spurs heading into the final weeks of the window.

Tottenham are keenly searching the transfer market for new additions to bolster their midfield as the summer window draws to a close.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Spurs are looking to further strengthen their midfield following recent signings, suggesting that the club is not finished making moves just yet.

Romano has indicated that Tottenham are eager to enhance their squad depth, focusing particularly on the midfield.

The possible departure of Giovani Lo Celso could provide the opportunity for Spurs to acquire new talent.

If Lo Celso were to leave, the club would have both the financial resources and the roster space to add another midfielder, increasing depth and competition in this vital area.

Speaking to GiveMeSport, Romano said:

“I think they will look at something in the midfield.

“From what I’m hearing, they will consider other positions [than rightback]. So, let’s see in the midfield what happens. I think it’s so important to understand what’s going to happen with Lo Celso, because if Lo Celso leaves after Hojbjerg, it could be the case for Tottenham to do something in that position.”

Tottenham have already taken steps to improve their midfield by bringing in talented young players like Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray, who have made a strong impression during pre-season friendlies.

However, the club appears determined to ensure they have sufficient options to tackle the demands of an intense Premier League season.

Speculation has linked Spurs with Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey, a versatile midfielder known for his creativity and energy.

Ramsey’s addition could significantly enhance Tottenham’s midfield strength, offering manager Ange Postecoglou more tactical flexibility.

With the transfer deadline looming, the Lilywhites are diligently evaluating their squad requirements and identifying potential candidates to strengthen their team.

Spurs’ active stance in the transfer market highlights its ambition to compete at the highest level and achieve a successful season.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly evaluating the possibility of signing Brazilian forward Evanilson, following contact from his agent amid interest from multiple Premier League clubs.

This comes on the heels of the recent acquisition of Dominic Solanke, a move that bolstered Spurs’ attacking options. As the club looks to further strengthen its squad for the upcoming season, Evanilson has emerged as a potential target.

According to HITC, Bournemouth have identified the Brazilian as a strong candidate to replace Solanke.

However, they face competition from a number of clubs including Tottenham who remain in contention for his signature along with Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle United, and West Ham.

The report claims that Tottenham are among the clubs who have held contact with the agent of the highly sought-after striker.

Evanilson joined Porto in 2020 and since then has consistently demonstrated his goal-scoring ability, racking up incredible numbers and establishing himself as a key player for the Portuguese club.

Last season, he scored 25 goals and assisted another 7 in 42 appearances. In total, he has amassed a stunning 60 goals and 21 assists in 154 appearances for Porto across all competitions.

Tottenham will be considering the potential benefits of adding Evanilson to their squad. His experience in European competitions, including notable performances in the UEFA Champions League, adds to his appeal as a valuable asset.

With his agent reaching out to Spurs, the club is open to assessing how his inclusion could enhance their offensive strength for the new season.
