The Boy Hotspur

Ange Postecoglou has managed to convince Leeds United sensation Archie Gray about a move to Tottenham.

Tottenham have secured an agreement to sign the 18-year-old midfielder after his move to Brentford collapsed. Gray was reportedly closing in on a move to Brentford and he was eager to play under Thomas Frank. But, the two clubs were not on the same page about the payment plan.

That allowed Tottenham to hijack the deal and according to a report from HITC, Ange Postecoglou has played a big part in convincing the teenager about the move to the North London club.

Gray had an exceptional debut season with Leeds United’s first team last season. He was involved in over 50 matches in his very first season and even contributed towards two goals. While he prefers playing in the centre of the park, the majority of his appearances came as a right-back. His huge potential along with his versatility are major reasons why multiple clubs were keen on prising him away from Leeds.

The North London club will fork out £40 million to bring Gray to the club. The 18-year-old has finalised his agreement with the North London club and he has already completed his medical.

Gray decided to make the move to Tottenham after having a chat with manager Ange Postecoglou about his plans for the club and the player’s role at the club. The former Celtic boss managed to convince him that a move to Spurs is the right decision for him.

The player’s family was impressed after talks with the Australian as well and they gave their backing to the 18-year-old midfielder regarding a move to Tottenham.

Tottenham must make a compelling offer to sign Real Madrid attacking midfielder Brahim Diaz.

The North London club are looking at ways to reinforce their squad ahead of next season. Ange Postecoglou is keen on adding more firepower to his attack as he looks to take the next step. Real Madrid’s Brahim Diaz is one of the names on Tottenham’s wishlist and they did knock on the Spanish club’s door for his signature.

But, their approach for the 24-year-old has been turned down by Real Madrid who consider Diaz to be an integral part of their first team and according to a report from the Fichajes, Spurs will have to make an ‘irrefutable’ offer to sign the Moroccan international.

Tottenham are looking to add more quality to the final third, Postecoglou is keen on bringing someone who can make them more threatening going forward. Diaz could be a sensational signing for Spurs as he can compete with James Maddison for a place in the starting XI. The former Manchester City star is capable enough to feature on the flanks and he can even lead the line when needed.

Despite not being a regular starter at Real Madrid last season, the 24-year-old still finished with 12 goals and nine assists in just over 2,000 minutes of first-team football. Despite the arrival of Kylian Mbappe and the increase in competition for places, Diaz wants to stay at the club and fight for his place in the team, he has no intentions of leaving.

Los Blancos have rejected Spurs approach and they have made it clear that Diaz is not for sale. However, the report does suggest that an irresistible offer could change things.

John Wenham wants Tottenham to sign Southampton midfielder Carlos Alcaraz this summer.

The North London club have been linked with the Argentine midfielder for a while now. Spurs have reportedly been in talks with Southampton as both clubs look to agree on a swap deal involving Joe Rodon and Carlos Alcaraz.

John Wenham has now urged Tottenham to complete the signing. The owner of the Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose feels that the 21-year-old midfielder would be a quality addition for the North London club and his versatility will be an added bonus.

While talking to Tottenham News, Wenham said: “When Southampton were last in the Premier League, I remember thinking what an exciting player Alcaraz was,”

“He can play in multiple positions across the midfield, and at the age of 21, I therefore think he is worth taking a gamble on.

“I don’t think Southampton are actively trying to get rid of him, I think he’s made it clear he wants to move to a bigger club.

“As a result, he would surely welcome a move to Tottenham, and I would be very much up for Tottenham signing him.”

After coming up the ranks at Racing Club, Alcaraz made the move to Southampton in the winter of 2023. He had an impressive start to life in England but the short loan spell at Juventus towards the end of last season didn’t really go according to plan.

Although the Saints are back in the Premier League, the player wants to join a bigger club ahead of next season and Tottenham could be the ideal destination for him. The 21-year-old might not have lit up the world with his performances in the recent past but he has the potential.

He will only get better with coaching and experience. Alcaraz would be a long-term investment for Tottenham and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.

Lucas Bergvall has officially joined Tottenham Hotspur following the conclusion of his contract with Djurgarden.

Football London reported that the talented midfielder’s new contract with Spurs commenced on July 1, following his £8.5 million transfer from the Swedish club.

Tottenham reportedly have big plans for Bergvall, who is set to be integrated directly into the first team for the upcoming season.

Signed on the final day of the January transfer window, Bergvall signed a five-year contract with the Lilywhites. Despite strong interest from Barcelona, the 18-year-old chose Spurs, eager to make his mark in the Premier League.

Initially, it was reported that the club plans to introduce Bergvall through the club’s academy, gradually promoting him to the senior side.

However, this strategy has been revised, and the teenager is now set to compete for a first-team spot.

During his last season on loan in Allsvenskan, Bergvall continued to display his talent.

He played in 19 games across all competitions, accumulating 1506 minutes, scoring six goals, and providing five assists.

Bergvall has also made an impact on the international stage, representing Sweden at various youth levels.

He made his senior debut in a friendly match against Estonia in January this year.

TBH Says:

Fans are eagerly waiting to see the young superstar shine the Spurs colours.

His technical skills and on-the-ball abilities are highly regarded, and while the league’s pace and intensity could present a significant challenge, Tottenham believe he is ready to make his mark with Spurs.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.

The Denmark international has fallen down the pecking order since the arrival of Ange Postecoglou and it remains to be seen where he ends up this summer. He has been linked with a move to Borussia Dortmund in recent weeks.

Denmark midfielder Thomas Delaney has now urged his compatriot to join the German club this summer. He feels that the 28-year-old Tottenham midfielder is a fantastic player who would improve them.

Delaney has played for the German club in the past, and he feels that the player and the club would be a good match.

“I would recommend it to both sides. He is a fantastic player and I’m very happy to have him as a teammate. He is a top-level central midfielder,” Delaney said on Sky Germany.

Hojbjerg has proven his quality in the Premier League over the years and he has played in the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich in the past. He should be able to settle in quickly and make an immediate impact if he joins Dortmund.

The German outfit reached the final of the UEFA Champions League last season and they need to improve their squad if they want to do well next year as well. Signing a quality central midfielder could be a wise decision.

It will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for the 28-year-old Denmark international this summer.

Delaney has played with Hojbjerg at the international level for Denmark and he knows all about the midfielder. Dortmund could certainly use his skills next season. His ability to control the tempo of the game and protect the defensive unit could come in handy for the German outfit.

Tottenham Hotspur continue to be linked with a move for the Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori.

The Italian international is one of the most talented young defenders in European football right now and a report from Gazzetta Dello Sport claims that the player is valued over €40 million.

Spurs have been keeping tabs on the player since January and it remains to be seen whether they finally decide to make a move for him. Signing him will not be a straightforward task and Tottenham will face competition from Premier League trio Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.

Italian giants Juventus are keen on signing the talented young defender as well, but they might not be able to compete with the English club financially. It remains to be seen where the Italian international defender ends up.

He can operate as a central defender as well as a left-back. His versatility will be an added bonus if Tottenham can get the deal done.

The North London club need to add more quality and depth to their squad in order to push for trophies next season and secure Champions League qualification. Signing one of the best young defenders in the world could prove to be a wise decision.

The reported asking price might seem like a premium right now, but the Italian defender could justify the investment in the coming seasons. A move to the Premier League will be an exciting opportunity for him as well and regular football in England could accelerate his development.

It remains to be seen whether Tottenham come forward with an official proposal to sign the defender in the coming weeks.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Galatasaray winger Baris Alper Yilmaz this summer.

The 24-year-old had an impressive campaign with the Turkish outfit last season and he has impressed in the European championships with Turkey as well. His performances have caught the attention of Tottenham and Manchester United.

According to a report from Haber3, both clubs are ‘closely following’ the 24-year-old winger, and they will have to pay £26 million in order to sign him. Yilmaz contributed to 7 goals and 12 assists in all competitions last season and he will add some much-needed cutting edge to the Tottenham attack.

He is versatile enough to operate on both flanks, and that will be an added bonus for Spurs if they can get the deal done.

Meanwhile, Manchester United have the financial resources to sign the player as well. They need to replace Jadon Sancho in the summer and the Turkish international could prove to be a useful acquisition.

The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be quite attractive for Yilmaz and he will hope that the English clubs are willing to pay the asking price for him. He has proven himself in Turkish football and he will to make his mark in the Premier League now. It would be a major step up in his career, but he has the physical and technical attributes to do well in English football.

His numbers are likely to improve when he’s playing in a quality side alongside top quality players. The winger is likely to improve further with coaching and experience and the 24-year-old could develop into a key player for the two clubs.

Ipswich Town have made a move for Tottenham’s Joe Rodon.

The defender enjoyed a successful season on loan at the Championship side.

Over the course of the season, he made 46 appearances, starting in 45 games, and played a key role in achieving 20 clean sheets for Farke’s side. His performances has attracted interest from a number of clubs

Among those interested in securing his services include Leeds, Ipswich Town, Leicester City and Southampton.

In a strategic move, Tottenham recently exercised the option to extend Rodon’s contract by another year. This extension ensures that Spurs can maximise his market value amid the growing interest from other clubs.

It was previously reported that the player is keen on a return to Leeds on a permanent transfer but that may not happen now due to the Yorkshire club’s financial constraints.

As per the latest from Tottenham expert Alasdair Gold, Spurs have now received a verbal offer from Ipswich.

However, he confirms that Leeds United and Leicester are also after the Wales defender and could yet join in on the race.

He shared on X:

Understand Spurs have received a verbal offer for Joe Rodon from Ipswich. Nothing formal or submitted in writing yet. As I reported before, Leicester and Leeds are also after the Wales defender, who is currently abroad at a training camp ahead of the new season.

Details of the offer from Ipswich is not disclosed yet and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham accept it.

Galatasaray are interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur this summer.

After making a name for himself at Juventus, Bentancur arrived at the North London club in the winter of 2022. The move to Tottenham hasn’t worked out for the Uruguayan international and he has struggled with quite a few injuries.

Last season, he was involved in 25 matches and could only rack up just over 1,100 minutes of first-team action. While he still has two years left on his deal, Galatasaray remain interested in his services.

According to Haldun Domac, the Turkish outfit could use their skipper Fernando Muslera to convince his compatriot to join them.

The Turkish football commentator said via Milligazete: “Fernando Muslera stepped in for Bentancur. ‘ Come to Galatasaray and let’s play together.’ His departure from Tottenham is in question. Muslera’s persistence could be a positive result.”

The 27-year-old’s future at Spurs is uncertain. With Ange Postecoglou looking to add more depth and quality to his squad, Bentancur might not get enough minutes next season even if he manages to remain fit. Tottenham might prefer cashing in on him and using the money raised to push for other targets.

Meanwhile, Galatasaray feel the Uruguayan international could help solve their problems in the centre of the park and they are persistent in their pursuit of the player. They have already reached out to the player regarding a move and their skipper Muslera is trying to convince him to make the move to Turkiye.

Bentancur will look to get his career back on track and regular football at Galatasaray could be ideal for him.
