The Boy Hotspur

Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilon has held talks with Sevilla sporting director Víctor Orta regarding a return to the Spanish club this summer.

Sergio Reguilon is not a part of Tottenham’s plans moving ahead and they seem keen on cashing in on the Spanish full-back before the end of the transfer window. According to Vamos Mi Sevilla FC, the Real Madrid graduate has been in talks with the Sevilla sporting director Víctor Orta who considers Reguilon his preferred choice to bolster their defence.

The 27-year-old full-back has spent the last two seasons out on loan. While he was hoping for a chance to revive himself at Spurs following the arrival of Ange Postecoglou, he wasn’t in the Australian manager’s plans. He spent the 2023/24 season out on loan at Manchester United and Brentford. While he is back at his parent club, Reguilon has been left out of their squad for the pre-season tour to Asia in hopes that he could find himself a new club.

Sevilla have been linked with the Spanish international who was on loan at the club back in the 2019/20 season and helped them win the Europa League. The Spanish club are keen on signing a new left-back with Marcos Acuna and Ludwig Augustinsson’s future at the club uncertain. While they also have Adrià Pedrosa in their squad, their manager García Pimienta is not confident about him being the preferred choice.

He is looking for a new option at left back and as per the report, Reguilon is the favourite target for Sevilla’s sporting director Orta. He has already held talks with the 27-year-old and the player seems willing to return to his former club. While the Spanish club are looking for a loan move, it doesn’t seem to be the ideal formula for Tottenham with his contract running out in 12 months.

Tottenham Hotspur and AC Milan are reportedly nearing an agreement for the transfer of Emerson Royal, with just €1 million separating the two clubs.

According to CalcioMercato, Milan have intensified their efforts to sign the Brazilian full-back following a knee injury to their defender Alessandro Florenzi and sees Emerson as a fitting replacement.

Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Milan’s latest offer stands at €14 million plus €4 million in add-ons, which is slightly below Spurs’ asking price in both guaranteed and bonus payments.

Initially, Tottenham valued Emerson at €20 million but have since lowered their asking price to €15 million, plus €5m in add-ons, to facilitate the transfer. This means, the two clubs are just €1m away from striking a deal.

This reduction indicates the Lilywhites’ intent to offload Emerson, who does not fit into manager Ange Postecoglou’s future plans.

Emerson, who joined Spurs from Barcelona in the summer of 2021 for €25 million, has struggled to secure a regular starting position. He made just 11 Premier League starts last season, underscoring his limited role in the team.

With the deal on the brink of completion, Tottenham will be eager to reinvest the money into strengthening the squad for the upcoming season.

This transfer is seen as a strategic move to streamline the squad and provide the financial boost needed for further signings.

Heung-min Son is on fire as he scores another brilliant goal to give Spurs a 3-0 lead going into half time.

The South Korean links up with Dejan Kulusevksi to create a goal scoring chance for himself out of no where.

He plays a quick one-two with the Swede to open up space for himself before nutmegging the defender and then scoring past the keeper with precision.

The two of them have been involved in all the goals today.

Tottenham Hotspur are determined to bolster their attacking lineup this summer, having identified several potential number nines.

Among their top targets now also includes Napoli’s prolific striker, Victor Osimhen.

According to Football Insider, Spurs are now closely monitoring the Nigerian international, even as their London rivals Chelsea are engaging in active negotiations for his signature.

Chelsea are reportedly discussing a cash-plus-player deal for the 25-year-old, which would involve Romelu Lukaku moving to Napoli.

In response, Tottenham are considering a similar approach, showing their willingness to include their own players in a swap deal to land Osimhen.

The report further adds that the Tottenham manager is ‘obsessed‘ about signing a new striker this summer.

Osimhen joined Napoli in 2020 for a record fee of €77.5 million. His tenure with the Italian side has been marked by significant achievements, particularly in the 2022-23 season.

Osimhen played a crucial role in helping Napoli clinch their first Serie A title in 33 years, and finished as the league’s top scorer with 26 goals. Despite a hamstring injury that sidelined him for several games last season, Osimhen demonstrated his prowess by netting 15 goals and providing three assists in 25 league appearances. Since joining the Italian giants, he has scored an incredible 76 goals & assisted another 18 in 133 appearances. (Transfermarkt)

His outstanding performances earned him a contract extension with Napoli until 2026, featuring a new release clause set at €130 million.

For Tottenham, signing Osimhen would be a major boost to their forward line, adding a proven goalscorer capable of making a significant impact.

However, given his recent contract extension, Spurs may need to make a substantial financial commitment.

With a massive release clause, securing Osimhen’s services will require negotiations and a significant investment, making it a difficult signing to pull off.

Tottenham have reversed their stance on Oliver Skipp with the midfielder now in talks over a new deal amid interest from Leicester City.

Oliver Skipp has been linked with a move away from the club for a while now. With the defensive midfielder not an important part of Tottenham’s first-team, they have been open to offers for his services.

According to a report from Football Insider, Spurs have made a U-turn on Skipp’s future as they are now looking to offer him a new contract to continue at the club.

Skipp joined the Tottenham youth setup back in 2013 and he went up the ranks at some pace. While he has been a part of their first team setup since the summer of 2018, the English defensive midfielder has only had limited game time at the North London club. Last season, he was involved in 24 matches but was on the pitch for less than 900 minutes.

Since he is not an important part of their setup, Tottenham were ready to negotiate his departure as long as they could secure a homegrown player as a replacement. Leicester City were keen on his signature as they look to reinforce their midfield. They were looking at Skipp as an ideal replacement for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall but will not have to look elsewhere as Spurs are pushing to extend his contract.

They are in advanced talks with the 23-year-old over a new deal. With Pierre-Emile Højbjerg leaving the club, they are quite inclined to have Skipp around. The report suggests that negotiations have been progressing quite well and it could result in an agreement this week

Tottenham seem quite interested in signing Juventus attacking ace Federico Chiesa this summer.

The North London club have done some impressive transfer business so far but there is still a lot of work to be done. Despite having extended the loan spell of Timo Werner, Spurs are still looking to bring in a world-class striker and a winger before the start of the 2024/25 season.

Federico Chiesa who is pushing for a move away from Juventus has been linked with a move to the Premier League and according to La Stampa via Tuttomercatoweb, Tottenham have shown the ‘greatest interest’ in the Italian international who has been made available for a ‘bargain’ fee by the Old Lady as they want to cash in on him with his contract running out.

Chiesa seemed destined for greatness when he initially joined Juventus after making a name for himself at Fiorentina. While the initial years were great, the 26-year-old has struggled with injuries and hasn’t been able to live up to the expectations.

With his contract running out in 12 months, his departure looks almost certain. Juventus would love to have him around but they are not willing to meet his demands regarding a renewal and are ready to sanction his departure if an interested club meets their asking price of around €25 million. AS Roma were keen on his signature but that transfer has fallen off and England now looks like the most likely destination.

His agent Fali Ramadani is in London to hold talks with interested Premier League clubs and Tottenham seem to be the most interested one. The North London club seek more depth on the flanks and Chiesa’s versatility could surely help their cause. More importantly, he is available for a bargain fee which will surely appeal to Daniel Levy and his team.

AC Milan have scheduled talks with Tottenham today to complete the signing of Emerson Royal.

Emerson Royal’s future has been the talk of the town for weeks as AC Milan have been in negotiations with Tottenham but they haven’t been able to get the deal over the line yet.

According to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian giants have scheduled talks with Spurs today to complete the signing of the Brazilian full-back.

Milan are desperate to have an upgrade at right-back before the start of the next season. They identified the former Real Betis full-back as a perfect fit for their system and have been working on a potential deal since the start of the transfer window. While the talks did stall at one point as Milan were not ready to meet Tottenham’s demands, they did decide to reignite their interest after having a look elsewhere.

Emerson hasn’t done much wrong since joining the North London club back in 2021 from Barcelona. While he has been a key part of their first team for years, the 25-year-old went down the pecking order post the arrival of Ange Postecoglou. Since he is not a part of their plans moving ahead, they are ready to cash in on him.

While negotiations haven’t been easy, Milan are finally closing in on his signature as per the report. Things are getting easier for them with each passing day and the two parties are separated by just €1-€2 million. The deal is practically just a step away as both teams continue to negotiate.

The report suggests that eventually there will be a green light for the transfer to be completed and the final fee will be around €14-€15 million. Milan have scheduled a meeting with Tottenham today for Emerson as they plan to bring the transfer saga to an end.

Tottenham are reportedly gearing up to make an offer for Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher.

Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol has suggested that this long-anticipated transfer could finally happen this summer.

Solhekol reported that Chelsea are now bracing for an approach from Spurs for the England international.

This follows recent interest from clubs like Atletico Madrid, although their offers have not met Chelsea’s valuation for the 24-year-old midfielder.

Speaking on Sky Sports News, the pundit stated:

“Atletico Madrid are there for him, but I don’t think they’re offering enough. I’ve been told today that Chelsea are expecting Spurs to come in for him maybe in the next couple of days or the next few weeks. When he comes back from holiday there could be some major developments.”

Gallagher, who played a pivotal role for Chelsea last season, is in the final year of his contract. Despite his contract situation, the Blues remain eager to keep him, highlighting his value to the team.

Under former manager Mauricio Pochettino, he was a consistent starter, featuring in 37 Premier League games and contributing five goals and seven assists. His steady performances have solidified his status as a key player for the side. (Transfermarkt)

Tottenham have had a long-standing interest in Gallagher, closely monitoring him since last summer’s transfer window. With the new season approaching, Spurs are aiming to further strengthen their midfield, having already added Archie Gray to their ranks.

As the transfer window unfolds, Gallagher’s transfer would be a major coup for Spurs, bolstering their midfield options and overall team strength for the upcoming season.

Tottenham Hotspur have been actively seeking to bolster their attack this summer and have been linked with a host of names, including Juventus star Federico Chiesa.

However, the latest update from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano indicates that Spurs are not pursuing the Juventus winger.

Romano clarified that there have been no contacts or negotiations between Tottenham and Juventus regarding Chiesa. Despite his availability and impressive performances, Spurs have chosen not to engage in talks for the 26-year-old forward.

Taking to X, the Italian journalist shared the following update:

“No contacts taking place between Tottenham and Juventus for Federico Chiesa. Spurs will sign one more player upfront but no talks or negotiations are taking place for Chiesa.”

Chiesa, who has entered the final year of his contract with Juventus, had a notable campaign last season, scoring nine goals and providing three assists in 33 Serie A appearances. His significant attacking prowess makes him an attractive prospect.

There is some positive to take from Romano’s update as he seems to confirm that Spurs will sign one more attacking player before the transfer window shuts.

While Chiesa’s talent and potential transfer value is appealing, Romano’s comments suggest that Spurs are keen on signing another forward but have specific criteria that Chiesa does not fit at this moment.

The Lilywhites are reportedly more interested in securing Premier League-proven players, such as Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze or Wolves’ Pedro Neto.

TBH Says:

Spurs fans might be disappointed by the news, especially considering Chiesa’s high profile and recent form.

Fans are already growing frustrated with the lack of high-profile signings, as the club continues to focus on signing promising talents for the future, with the new season just a few weeks away.

With a dire need to bolster the attack, in particular the striking position, Romano’s claim that the club will be signing one more attacker is the only positive thing to come from this latest update.

Tottenham Hotspur have officially announced the permanent transfer of academy graduate Yago Santiago to Spanish second-division side Elche.

The club’s official academy account on social media confirmed the transfer, putting out the following statement:

“We have reached agreement with Spanish Segunda Division side Elche for the permanent transfer of Yago Santiago. Wishing you all the best, Yago.”

We have reached agreement with Spanish Segunda Division side Elche for the permanent transfer of Yago Santiago.

Wishing you all the best, Yago 🤍

The 21-year-old winger, who has climbed through the ranks at Spurs, will continue his career in Spain. The transfer fee remains undisclosed.

Yago Santiago began his football journey in Vigo, Spain. After several years at the Areosa academy, he moved to Celta de Vigo, where he impressed by scoring 15 goals for their U16 side during the 2018-19 season. His notable performance caught Tottenham’s attention, leading to his move to the club in the summer of 2019.

During his time at the Lilywhites, Santiago advanced through the youth teams and made a significant impact. He scored four goals and provided five assists in 33 appearances for the Spurs’ U18 side, and added 18 goals and 12 assists in 80 appearances for the U21 side.

The left-winger’s contributions were particularly evident last season, where he scored nine goals and provided eight assists in 23 appearances, playing a pivotal role in Tottenham’s Premier League 2 triumph.

His consistent performances earned him a call-up to first-team training under former manager Antonio Conte during the 2022-23 season. Santiago also featured among the substitutes in five competitive first-team matches during his time at Spurs.

Santiago has now returned to Spain, signing a permanent deal with Elche, a team that was relegated from La Liga two seasons ago.
