The Boy Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Rennes winger Desire Doue this summer.

The 19-year-old winger is highly rated across Europe and he has a bright future ahead of himself. His performances have attracted the attention of Tottenham and they have already made contact with the agents of the player.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham follow up on their interest with an official proposal to sign the attacker in the coming weeks.

The report from TEAMtalk claims that the French club could demand around £50 million for the highly-rated winger and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham are willing to pay that kind of money for his services.

Doue has shown his quality in Ligue 1 and he is only going to get better with coaching and experience. He has attributes to develop into a quality winger for the Premier League side. However, the asking price seems quite steep and Tottenham will not want to pay over the odds.

Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy has a reputation for being a difficult negotiator, and he will look to negotiate a more reasonable price for the 19-year-old.

It remains to be seen whether the clubs can secure an agreement over the next few weeks. The opportunity to play in the Premier League will certainly be an attractive proposition for Doue. He will look to prove himself in English and establish himself as a player for the North London club.

Tottenham need more goals and creativity from the wide areas and signing a future prospect like Doue would be a wise decision.

Djed Spence’s move to Genoa has collapsed after the clubs failed to reach an agreement.

BBC Sport’s Nizaar Kinsella reported that Genoa failed to come to an agreement with Tottenham regarding the fee for the player.

The Italian club had expressed interest in making Spence’s loan move permanent but couldn’t agree on a fee lower than £8.5 million with Spurs.

Negotiations between the two clubs extended over a month but ultimately did not result in a transfer.

Despite this setback, Genoa might reconsider if Tottenham lower their asking price in this window.

Spence, who joined Spurs from Middlesbrough in the summer of 2022 for £12.5 million, has seen limited action with the Lilywhites.

Since his arrival, he has made just six appearances for the club, totalling a mere 41 minutes on the pitch.

During the previous season, Spence spent the latter half on loan at Genoa, where he featured in 16 Serie A matches, and ended up impressing the Serie A side.

The 23-year-old full-back’s versatility was evident as he played across various defensive and midfield positions, demonstrating adaptability and potential that impressed the Italian club.

Tottenham aim to recover as much of their initial investment as possible with the sale of the Englishman this summer.

With Spence under contract until June 30, 2027, the club is exploring alternative options for his future.

Spence was signed under Conte but the Italian made it clear that it was not his signing but rather, the club’s.

And the move has not worked out for either of them.

As the transfer window unfolds, Spurs will continue exploring possibilities to find a suitable solution for the promising young defender.

Tottenham have a long-standing interest in the services of Arsenal and Real Madrid target Marc Guehi.

Marc Guehi has gone from strength to strength in recent seasons and he looks all set to join a bigger club this summer. The Crystal Palace defender is on the wishlist of Arsenal as well as Real Madrid and according to a report from The Sun, Tottenham are all set to rival them in their pursuit of the signature of the English international.

Ange Postecoglou has added Micky van de Ven and Radu Dragusin to his squad since taking charge as their manager last summer. Despite having added two top-quality centre-backs in the last two transfer windows, Spurs want to add another defender to the mix ahead of next season. The former Celtic manager wants to have more quality options on the bench and he wants serious competition for places at the back.

They have a long-standing interest in Guehi who has made quite a name for himself with impressive performances for Crystal Palace. He is expected to be on the move this summer and the Eagles wants a similar fee to the £50 million that Bayern Munich are paying for Michael Olise.

The Chelsea academy graduate only has two years left on his deal at Palace, as a result, they do not want to risk a situation where he looks to run down his deal and leave for free.

Rivals Arsenal have a long-standing interest in him and Mikel Arteta is keen on signing him as he looks to add more depth to his backline while Real Madrid consider him as an option to replace Nacho Fernandez. However, Spurs are looking to prise him away from Selhurst Park.

Arsenal could use a reliable partner for William Saliba and the Crystal Palace star seems like the perfect addition. On the other hand, Real Madrid had injury problems at the back last season and they need more depth in the side.

Real Betis are looking to sanction the departure of Nabil Fekir and bring in Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso back to the club.

Lo Celso had a sensational 2018/19 season with Real Betis before making the move to Tottenham. Unfortunately, the switch to the Premier League hasn’t gone according to plan for the Argentine international.

He has fallen down the pecking order over the years and is looking for a move away from the club. According to a report from AS, Real Betis ‘dream’ of re-signing Lo Celso this summer and they are ready to offload Nabil Fekir in order to make things happen.

The 28-year-old attacking midfielder has had quite a few loan spells away from Spurs. While Ange Postecoglou decided to keep him in his squad for the 2023/24 season, the Australian manager could only hand him 597 minutes of first-team action spread across 24 outings. Frustrated by the lack of game time, Lo Celso wants to part ways with the North London club.

While only a year is left on his deal, Spurs will still look for a decent fee to recoup a part of what they had invested to sign him. Real Betis are keen on his signature but they are not in the best of financial situations to sign him. The report suggests that they will only be able to bring Lo Celso back if they manage to sell Nabil Fekir amidst interest in his signature from Saudi Arabia.

The Spanish club are aware that they need to be patient if they want to bring him back. Fekir is the highest earner at Betis, his departure will help them fit into the salary limit imposed by LaLiga and they will also have room to sign Lo Celso. While it seems to be a distant dream at this stage, if they manage to sell Fekir as well as William Carvalho, it could end up being a reality.

Tottenham have entered the race for the services of Athletic Club Bilbao attacking sensation Nico Williams.

The 21-year-old Spanish international has made quite a name for himself with his consistent performances for Athletic Club Bilbao this past season. He has had a sensational Euro 2024 so far which has further enhanced his reputation. Multiple top clubs from across Europe are keen on his signature and according to a report from Football Insider, Tottenham Hotspur have also entered the race to sign Nico Williams.

The North London club did well without Harry Kane last season. However, in order to help them take the next step, Ange Postecoglou is keen on reinforcing his attack. He wants a new number nine who can lead the line and is also looking to add more depth to the flanks. Williams’ impressive rise at Athletic Club Bilbao has attracted Spurs’ attention and they have been closely monitoring him ahead of a potential transfer.

While the winger has a release clause worth £49 million in contract, his wage demands are making things difficult for interested clubs. Barcelona have been linked with the Spanish international but financially he is beyond their reach at this stage.

The Premier League seems to be the only viable destination for him. While there is interest from Aston Villa whose manager Unai Emery is a huge admirer of Williams, Spurs are looking to beat the competition for his signature.

The North London club want more firepower up top and the 21-year-old who contributed towards 27 goals (8 goals, 19 assists) last season could be a sensational signing for them. Not only will they get their hands on one of the most exciting young attacking talents in Europe, but his arrival will also allow Postecoglou to start Son Heung-min in a more central role.

Tottenham Hotspur plan to sell players who do not feature in Ange Postecoglou’s plans for the upcoming season, and one such player is defender Sergio Reguilon.

According to the Spanish outlet Diario AS, Manchester United are showing interest in securing the services of the Tottenham left-back.

Reguilon, now in the final year of his contract with Spurs, is expected to move on from Tottenham this summer.

Despite joining Tottenham in 2020 on a five-year deal that included a reported £27.5 million buy-back clause, his tenure has been marked by injuries and multiple loan spells, limiting his impact.

Over his time with Spurs, Reguilon made a total of 67 appearances, scoring two goals and providing eight assists.

However, Reguilon’s Tottenham career has seen him spend time on loan at various clubs. He spent the 2022-23 season with Atletico Madrid and joined Manchester United on a six-month loan in September last year. Most recently, he was loaned to Brentford in January, where he provided four assists in 16 appearances, showcasing promising form.

Tottenham are looking to offload Reguilon permanently as he does not feature in Ange Postecoglou’s plans for the upcoming season.

This decision follows an impressive campaign by Destiny Udogie, who has established himself as Tottenham’s first choice left-back. Offloading Reguilon would help Spurs secure funds and help them boster their squad ahead of the new season.

Tottenham are ready to negotiate Reguilon’s transfer, with Manchester United being a potential destination.

As the transfer window progresses, fans will be keen to see how the situation unfolds and whether Reguilon will make a permanent move to Manchester United.

Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on an exciting young talent this summer, with the latest name linked to the club being Rennes’ attacking midfielder, Desire Doue.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently confirmed that Doue is a significant target for Tottenham, underscoring the club’s genuine interest.

Romano highlighted that the North London club’s board is particularly keen on Doue, seeing him as a valuable addition to their squad.

Doue, a highly regarded talent, has caught the attention of numerous top clubs across Europe. The Lilywhites view him as a valuable addition to their squad, fitting well with their strategy to introduce a young talent.

Romano highlighted that Spurs have already conveyed their interest to Doue’s representatives, making it clear that he is a priority for the North London club.

Speaking on Playback TV, Romano stated:

“Tottenham have a genuine interest in Desire Doue. He’s one of the players appreciated by Tottenham board.

“Desire Doue is one of the best talents in his position. He’s on the list of several clubs, also in the list of Tottenham.

“It’s true that Desire Doue is another player they are considering internally. They have already expressed their interest to the agents of the player. So Desire Doue is one to watch for Tottenham.”

Doue, 19, has been making significant strides at Rennes since joining their youth academy at the age of five. He signed his first professional contract with the club in April 2022 and debuted in Ligue 1 in August of the same year.

Primarily an attacking midfielder, Doue’s versatility allows him to play on either wing or as a forward. His acceleration, pace, and excellent dribbling skills make him a formidable offensive threat.

Last season, Doue made 31 appearances in Ligue 1, scoring four goals and providing five assists in his 17 starts. His performances have drawn comparisons to Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, another standout from Rennes’s youth system.

Tottenham’s interest in Doue aligns with their recent strategy to introduce young, versatile talent into their squad. The club has already conveyed their interest to Doue’s representatives, making it clear that he is a priority for the team.

Manchester City are poised to secure the services of Han Willhoft-King, a former talent from Tottenham Hotspur’s academy.

This move signifies a pivotal moment in the 18-year-old’s career as he looks to advance in Man City’s youth setup.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Premier League champions acted swiftly to finalise a two-year contract with Willhoft-King, paving the way for his integration into their Under-19 squad.

He shared on X:

“EXCL: Manchester City agree deal to sign 2006 born talented midfielder Han Willhoft-King for the U19. Willhoft-King left Tottenham few weeks ago and he’s joining #MCFC on two year contract. Medical tests set to take place shortly.”

Tottenham recently bid farewell to Willhoft-King, who chose to explore new opportunities following the expiration of his contract with the club.

This decision followed the Spurs’ release of several players whose contracts had concluded.

Having joined Tottenham at the age of six, Willhoft-King progressed through the ranks, notably excelling in the U18 Premier League and FA Youth Cup last season.

He made a significant impact with 16 appearances and two goals, earning recognition as a standout talent among his peers. (Transfermarkt)

John Wenham, a reputable club insider, had disclosed that despite Spurs’ efforts to retain Willhoft-King by offering him a new contract, the midfielder opted to pursue opportunities elsewhere.

Wenham emphasised the club’s admiration for Willhoft-King’s abilities, while respecting his decision to seek a new path.

While Willhoft-King’s departure represents a loss for the Lilywhites, it underscores the club’s dedication to nurturing young talent and supporting their growth.

Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on their former player Kyle Walker-Peters as they look to strengthen their defence this summer.

Brighton and West Ham have expressed interest in the Southampton defender. West Ham are even considering a swap deal involving Flynn Downes, though the negotiations are proving to be complex.

However, according to Fabrizio Romano, Spurs have been monitoring their former player, who left the club for Southampton in 2020.

He shared the update on X:

🚨 Brighton have inquired about Kyle Walker-Peters, on the radar for some months.

West Ham are still pushing for KWP and Flynn Downes may be part of the swap deal but deal not straight forward.

Tottenham have been monitoring him as he’d tick several boxes, no bid/talks so far. pic.twitter.com/GcyuuRlds2

The North London side sees him as a perfect fit to bolster their defence, especially at right-back, a position that needs reinforcement following the expected departure of Emerson Royal.

The 27-year-old is in the final year of his contract with Southampton, set to expire in June next year. With no extension on the horizon, his exit from the club seems imminent.

Walker-Peters had a standout campaign last season, contributing immensely as Southampton earned the promotion to the Premier League following their win against Leeds in the play-offs final.

He started 46 games in the Championship throughout the campaign and recorded 3 goals and 3 assists.

A significant advantage of Walker-Peters is his versatility. Primarily a right-back, he has also performed well as a left-back, potentially offering flexibility for Ange Postecoglou. This adaptability makes him an excellent backup option for both Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie.

Tottenham’s interest in Walker-Peters fits their strategy of enhancing their squad with versatile and experienced players.

As the transfer window continues, the Englishman’s potential return to North London would not only deepen the squad but also reintroduce a familiar and reliable player to the team.
