The Boy Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman.

The 28-year-old attacker has been linked with a move away from the Bundesliga club and journalist Steve Kay has revealed that multiple clubs are keen on signing him.

He said (h/t TBR Football): “A good player, he’s struggling for game time at Bayern at the moment, a lot of good players there. There are going to be a lot of clubs after him. I know Spurs are a team looking at him. Interestingly there he’s a part of CAA Base, which a lot of Spurs players are linked to as is Ange Postecoglou.”

The 28-year-old has struggled for regular game time this past season and he will look to move on and join a club where he will be a regular starter. Tottenham could certainly use more quality in the wide areas and Coman would be a superb option for them.

He is at the peak of his powers and he could make an instant impact in the final third. Tottenham need a dynamic attacker like him who is capable of slotting into multiple roles. He will add creativity, flair and technical ability in the final third.

Tottenham need more quality if they want to challenge for trophies in the upcoming campaign. Coman has played for big clubs and he has won major trophies. His winning experience and mentality could be invaluable additions to the Tottenham dressing room as well.

The attacker is represented by the agency CAA base and Tottenham have a great relationship with them. It remains to be seen whether the North London club follow up on their interest with an official proposal to sign the French international winger. They have the resources to get the deal done, and a moved to Tottenham is likely to be attractive for the player as well.

Tottenham Hotspur completed a deal to sign Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth recently.

The 26-year-old striker had a phenomenal campaign with the Cherries last year, scoring 21 goals in all competitions. His performances prompted Tottenham to spend a substantial amount of money on the player.

They will be hoping that Solanke can continue his impressive run form from last season and transform them in the final third. Tottenham missed a quality striker who can lead the line for them and score goals consistently since the departure of Harry Kane. They needed to bring in a quality number nine, and Solanke will be raring to prove himself at a big club.

He has previously failed to make his mark at clubs like Chelsea and Liverpool. The striker will be determined to showcase his qualities at Tottenham now. It is an excellent step up in his career, and he will want to compete for major trophies with them and do well in the European competitions as well.

However, former Premier League star Graeme Souness has now reacted to the transfer and claimed that spending £65 million on him is a bit of a gamble, especially when he is not a prolific goalscorer over a sustained period of time. Even though he scored 19 goals in the league last year, the striker has just 28 Premier League goals in 112 matches throughout his career.

Souness said on talkSPORT: “Hell of a lot money for him, I think. £65 million?

“He has played, I think, 112 games and has got 28 goals. Was it 19 last year? He is not consistently scoring goals in the Premier League.

“I think it’s a bit of a gamble.”

It will be interesting to see if Solanke can replicate his goalscoring form from last season.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Monaco defender Vanderson this summer.

The North London outfit recently sanctioned the departure of Emerson Royal to AC Milan and they are looking to bring in a quality alternative. It seems that they have identified the 23-year-old Monaco defender as a replacement for the Brazilian.

Vanderson has done quite well in Ligue 1 and he has the quality to thrive in the Premier League as well. Journalist Bruno Andrade has now revealed that Spurs have already ‘opened talks’ with Monaco for the player and the French outfit are now expecting an offer from them.

The reported offer is expected to be in the region of €40 million. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to shell out that kind of money for the Brazilian defender. They already have Pedro Porro and Djed Spence at their disposal. Signing another fullback for €40 million, especially when they need to improve the other areas of their squad would be quite a surprise.

Tottenham will be hoping to push for trophies next season and they will look to qualify for the Champions League as well. They need to plug the gaps in their squad this summer and they should look to invest in a quality central midfielder and a goalscoring winger as well.

There is no doubt that Vanderson is a quality player with immense potential and he could prove to be a superb addition for Tottenham, but they already have enough depth in that position and the resources are better utilised elsewhere.

Former Tottenham Hotspur defender Emerson Royal completed a move to AC Milan yesterday.

The 25-year-old Brazilian full-back has completed a permanent transfer away from the North London club and his agent Stefano Castagna has revealed that the Brazilian worked a lot and pushed for a move in order to join the Italian club.

“The negotiation was long but, in the end, the white smoke arrived to everyone’s satisfaction. Emerson absolutely wanted the Milan shirt, and he worked a lot, he pushed to come here,” he said to Calciomercato.

“Yes, it was long, but we did it. The negotiation lasted a long time because there are two important clubs in the middle and therefore, they have to do their job.”

It seems that Emerson was desperate to join Milan this summer. He was a backup player for Tottenham last season and he needs to play more often at this stage of his career. Someone of his quality is certainly good enough to start at a high level and he will look to get his career back on track with regular football at the Italian club.

The 25-year-old is versatile enough to operate on both flanks and he could be a key player for Milan in the upcoming seasons.

Tottenham are already well-stocked in the right-back department with Pedro Porro and Djed Spence at their disposal. It is unlikely that they will seek a replacement for the Brazilian international anytime soon. They will probably hope to use the proceeds from his departure to improve their squad this summer.

Tottenham will look to secure Champions League qualification in the upcoming campaign and they need the right players in order to do well next season.

Tottenham have decided against sanctioning the departure of full-back Djed Spence.

The English full-back joined Spurs back in the summer of 2022. Since making the move to the North London club from Middlesbrough, he has only featured six times for their first team. Reports suggested that Ange Postecoglou’s team were ready to part ways with him but according to Football Insider, Tottenham have decided to keep him in their first-team squad for the 2024/25 season.

Spence has spent the last 18 months out on loan. He spent the first half of last season at Leeds United before joining Genoa for the second half. He featured in a total of 24 matches and contributed towards a goal.

While he still has three years left on his deal with Spurs, the 24-year-old was expected to be on the move this summer. But, it seems Tottenham have taken a u-turn on their stance and Spence is now all set to provide cover and compete with Pedro Porro for a place in the starting XI.

With Emerson Royal’s exit now confirmed, the Australian manager is now all set to count on the former Middlesbrough full-back. The Brazilian international completed a move to AC Milan in a deal worth more than £15 million.

With his departure, Tottenham only has two options at right-back. As a result, Spence now has a chance to prove his worth and establish himself in their first team under Postecoglou. He is expected to be a part of their squad for their opening Premier League fixture against Leicester City after an impressive run in the pre-season.

Tottenham Hotspur may be preparing to offload goalkeeper Alfie Whiteman before the transfer window closes, as revealed by Spurs insider John Wenham.

Wenham has pointed out that Whiteman’s future at the club appears uncertain, particularly with Brandon Austin now seemingly ahead of him in the goalkeeping hierarchy.

Wenham noted that Tottenham’s recent pre-season tour has clarified the club’s stance, with Austin featuring in all five of the team’s matches, while Whiteman made only a brief substitute appearance.

Given that Whiteman has just one year left on his current contract, this summer may present the best opportunity for both him and the club to consider a transfer.

Speaking to Tottenham News, Wenham said:

“It seems as though Whiteman might also be moved on. I think it has been made clear to him that Austin is in front of him in the pecking order at the club.”

“He has a year to go on his contract and this might therefore be the best time for him to move on from Tottenham. I think some real pecking order decisions were made on this recent pre-season tour.”

Whiteman has been part of Tottenham’s setup since joining their academy in 2015. In February 2023, he signed a contract extension that runs until next year. However, his chances to shine for the first team have been limited.

His most significant appearance for Spurs came in a UEFA Europa League match against Ludogorets Razgrad in 2020, where he was brought on as a substitute. Additionally, he gained experience during two loan spells at Swedish side Degerfors.

With Guglielmo Vicario solidifying his position as Tottenham’s first-choice goalkeeper and with Fraser Forster and Brandon Austin as reliable backups, Whiteman’s path to the first team looks increasingly difficult.

Therefore, allowing Whiteman to move on could be beneficial, providing him with the chance for regular playing time while enabling Spurs to reallocate resources toward other squad needs.

Tottenham Hotspur have officially confirmed today that their rising star, Mikey Moore, has signed his first professional contract with the club.

It was reported last week that Moore has agreed to a new deal and that it is going to be finalised on Sunday.

And earlier today, the club officially announced that the young attacker has signed for the club. This deal is said to be the most lucrative ever extended to a 17-year-old by Spurs, making it a record-breaking deal at this level.

Moore has been a standout performer in Tottenham’s youth system, especially in the U18 Premier League last season, where he scored 14 goals and provided eight assists in just 12 games.

Having joined Spurs as a U9 player, Moore’s development has been nothing short of extraordinary.

He rapidly progressed through the club’s ranks, playing pivotal roles in Tottenham’s U17 and U18 teams during the 2022-23 season, helping them secure league titles.

Remarkably, at just 15, he made his debut for the U21s, becoming one of the youngest players to do so.

Moore’s talents were further recognised when he made his first-team debut in May this year during a Premier League match against Manchester City.

At just 16 years and 277 days, he became the youngest player in Tottenham’s history to feature in a league match, setting a new club record.

In May this year, Moore made his first-team debut in a Premier League match against Manchester City, setting a new record as the youngest player in Tottenham’s history to play in the league at 16 years and 277 days.

With his first professional contract now signed, Moore is expected to play a crucial role in Ange Postecoglou’s plans for the upcoming season.

Conor Gallagher’s anticipated transfer to Atletico Madrid has hit a stumbling block, potentially paving the way for Tottenham Hotspur to make a late move for the Chelsea midfielder.

Gallagher was set to join Atletico Madrid in a £34 million deal that seemed all but finalised last week.

However, recent developments have cast doubt on the transfer. According to The Sun, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano indicated 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.

🚨🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Chelsea and Atlético Madrid are now discussing João Félix to #CFC as part of Gallagher deal!

Chelsea are keen on bringing Felix back to Stamford Bridge, but the negotiations have been complicated by interest in Felix from other clubs, including Aston Villa.

This twist in the transfer saga could provide Tottenham with an unexpected opportunity.

Spurs have been tracking Gallagher for some time, having been strongly linked with him throughout the summer.

The 24-year-old midfielder impressed last season, featuring in 37 Premier League matches for Chelsea and contributing five goals and seven assists. His performances have not gone unnoticed, and Tottenham see him as a valuable addition to their squad.

With Atletico’s deal now uncertain, Tottenham could re-enter the race for Gallagher. The North London club would need to match Atletico’s £34 million offer to tempt Chelsea into a sale, but the prospect of securing such a dynamic midfielder could be worth the investment.

Adding Gallagher to their ranks would significantly bolster Tottenham’s midfield options, providing manager Ange Postecoglou with a versatile and energetic player capable of influencing games at both ends of the pitch.

Gallagher’s box-to-box style fits well with Postecoglou’s high-intensity approach, making him an ideal target as Spurs look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.

As the transfer window draws to a close, Tottenham will be closely monitoring the situation between Chelsea and Atletico Madrid.

If the deal collapses, Spurs could be poised to make a decisive move for Gallagher, offering him the chance to remain in the Premier League and take on a key role in their midfield.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Sergio Reguilón has been linked with an exit from the club this summer.

The 27-year-old was on loan at Manchester United and Brentford last season and he is not a key part of the London club’s plans going forward. He needs to leave the club to play regularly and a report from Spanish publication SPORT claims that Barcelona would be willing to provide him with an exit route.

Barcelona are looking to bring in more quality and depth in the full-back areas and manager Hansi Flick has already approved a move for the 27-year-old Spaniard.

Reguilon has previously proven his quality in La Liga and he is certainly good enough for Barcelona if he can re-capture his form and confidence. The transfer to the Premier League has not worked out for the player and a return to his homeland might allow him to regain his sharpness once again.

Furthermore, he is in the final year of his contract with Tottenham and Barcelona believe that he could be available for a nominal price. The report states that Barcelona are plotting a ‘last-minute surprise’ move for the defender and it remains to be seen whether they can secure an agreement with Tottenham.

The North London outfit are well stocked in the left back department and they are likely to sanction his departure for the right price. It would not only free up their wage bill, but it would also bring in funds for further signings. Spurs will look to improve their squad and push for a place in the Champions League next season.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Manuel Locatelli from Juventus.

The 26-year-old Italian international is on the radar of the North London club and they are hoping to secure his signature.

As per JuveLive, Tottenham are ‘ready to offer’ £21 million for the midfielder and the report describes it as a ‘dream deal’ for the two clubs.

The midfielder has fallen down on the pecking order at the Italian club and he needs to move on in search of regular playing time. A move to the North London club would be ideal for him. It seems that Tottenham are looking to add more quality and depth to their midfield unit and the Italian international could prove to be a useful acquisition.

He has previously shown his quality in Serie A and at the international level. There is no doubt that he has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League and it remains to be seen whether he can regain his confidence and sharpness with a move to Tottenham. He was heavily linked with a move to England a few years ago after he helped Italy win the Euros.

If he can recapture that level, he could prove to be a quality acquisition for Tottenham.

The North London club recently parted ways with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and they need someone who could add control and defensive cover to the side. The 26-year-old certainly fits the profile and it remains to be seen whether the North London outfit can get the deal done.
