Tottenham have already made several huge changes this summer and are far from being done.

Vinai Venkatesham has been praised by Spurs supporters for the noticeable changes to the communications department since he started at the club.

The CEO made clear that his key priorities are football, fans and staff, and he seems to be making good progress.

This, coupled with Daniel Levy’s desire to win the Premier League and UEFA Champions League in due course, has led to internal and external changes.

As a result, the Lilywhites have ramped up their efforts in the market this month, as Tottenham News brings you the latest from N17.

Fenerbahçe set to hold talks with Bissouma and Tottenham

As reported by Yağiz Sabuncuoğlu via X(11 July), a representative authorised by Fenerbahçe has flown to London to meet with Tottenham and Bissouma.

This comes after the former Brighton midfielder was linked with a move to Juventus in addition to the Turkish club.

However, if all goes as hoped, the Turkish club could accelerate the file, which would see the Mali international leave Hotspur Way this summer.

James Maddison set to be axed at Tottenham

With the North London club officially announcing the signing of Mohammad Kudus and Morgan Gibbs-White not too far behind, James Maddison could find himself in a difficult situation.

Jamie O’Hara believes he will be pushed down the pecking order now that at least one of the two will play for Spurs next season.

While speaking on talkSPORT (10 July), O’Hara said: “I think that pushes Maddison down the pecking order a little bit.

“Dejan Kulusevski is a good player. When he’s fit and he’s on it, he’s really good, so do you play Kudus on the left and Kulusevski on the right? Gibbs-White, Dominic Solanke, that in my head is probably how you would start.

“But Kudus can play on the right as well, and as a number 10. It’s a good problem to have; we have a lot of games.”

Tottenham interest in Conor Gallagher threatens Rodrigo Bentancur

Conor Gallagher is one of the players Atletico Madrid are willing to hear offers for this summer.

Levy has shown he is willing to go the extra mile and could be up for the challenge despite the midfielder’s stint at Chelsea.

This latest development could see Rodrigo Bentancur leave Hotspur Way for good. Indeed, the midfield at Tottenham is beginning to become a little crowded now that Kudus has signed, with Gibbs-White still expected to follow.

And with 12 months left on his contract and no extension signed, the Uruguayan could become the next player to bid farewell.

Tottenham announce Manchester City goalkeeper addition to Under-18s squad

In addition to Dorran, the North London club also confirmed the signing of Luca Williams-Barnett, who contributed to 32 goals in 23 appearances last season.
