Tottenham reportedly expressed an interest in Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson but have been put off by his price tag. RMC Sport reports that Spurs were keen on the Senegal striker but his £60million valuation 'deterred' them.

Aston Villa and Altetico Madrid are also said to be interested. Jackson spent last season on loan to Bayern Munich but started just 15 of the 34 matches he featured in across all competitions.

He scored 11 times and provided four assists during his time in Germany.

Paul Scholes believes Tottenham have chosen the better Newcastle midfielder to sign this summer. Arsenal paid £75million for Bruno Guimaraes while Spurs splashed £100m on Sandro Tonali.

While both have their quality attributes, Scholes is of the opinion that Tonali is the better option. He told The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast: "I think Bruno Guimaraes will make Arsenal a better football team.

"But I do think Sandro Tonali is a better player, he’s got more legs about him. I don’t think Bruno is amazing physically but he might be more suited to Arsenal."

Galatasaray president Dursun Ozbek has reportedly confirmed that Victor Osimhen is not to be sold this summer.

He added: "No matter how much the price is, I am not selling Osimhen."

Tottenham are after a number of signings this summer to boost their attacking line. Savinho, Victor Osimhen, Omar Marmoush, Cody Gakpo and Pedro Neto have all been linked with the north London outfit.

But who should Roberto De Zerbi prioritise as his first-choice transfer? Let us know below:

Daniel Munoz is reportedly being eyed as the defensive replacement for Djed Spence, The Daily Mail reports that Tottenham are among the clubs keen on the Crystal Palace star.

The 30-year-old has been a solid Premier League right-back in recent seasons, recording 27 goal contributions in 108 appearances.

The defender has two years left on his deal and while Palace are likely not keen to lose him this summer, reports suggest they value him at upwards of £20million.

Tottenham are targeting the signings of Savinho, Omar Marmoush and Cody Gakpo this summer.

Football.london understands that the trio are on Roberto De Zerbi's wishlist and would cost over £145million. Gakpo has reportedly agreed personal terms with the Lilywhites with the decision now resting in Liverpool's hands.

Meanwhile, Enzo Maresca has left the transfer decision up to the players. He states that Marmoush's desire is to "probably play more minutes", and it is up to the Egyptian if he does that with City or elsewhere.

Savinho is open to Spurs but his move would hinge on City securing a replacement before he is allowed to depart.

Pedro Neto has chosen his next transfer amid interest from Tottenham, Manchester City and Arsenal. Despite reportedly holding talks with all three Premier League sides, the Chelsea winger looks to be heading to Saudi this summer.

Neto is closing in on a move away from England after agreeing terms with Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal. Sky Switzerland reports that the club will pay around £51million for his signature.

This is despite Chelsea demanding at least £70m earlier in the summer.

Spurs have confirmed the exits of Cristian Romero and Djed Spence. The pair have departed north London for a combined fee of £64million.

Romero headed to Spain to sign for Atletico Madrid, with his former club retaining a 15% sell-on clause. The ex-club captain admitted his journey in north London "wasn't perfect" but he etched his name in history with the Europa League win.

Meanwhile, Spence returned to Italy to sign a £30m deal with Inter Milan. The full-back confirmed the news on social media as he stated that Spurs "will always have a place in my heart."

Tottenham have joined Aston Villa in registering an interest in Nicolas Jackson. However, Chelsea are demanding a whopping £60million for his signature.

The Senegalese striker spent last season on loan to Bayern, scoring 11 goals in 34 appearances. However, the German champions opted not to trigger his £55.5m buy-out clause.

RMC Sport reports that Xabi Alonso is open to selling Jackson before the end of the transfer window. Tottenham, Aston Villa and Atletico Madrid are all interested in the 25-year-old.

Spurs are set to battle north London rivals Arsenal for the signing of Victor Osimhen. The Galatasaray striker is of interest to both Premier League sides and has a price tag of around £58million.

However, there is already an offer on the table from the Saudi Arabian side, Al Hilal, who are believed to have put forward a huge £110m to get the deal over the line.

Roberto De Zerbi is planning to boost his attacking line after spending £237million on securing the midfield and defence.

Good morning and welcome to football.london's Tottenham transfer live blog. Here, we will bring you all the latest updates regarding Spurs' activity in the summer window.

Roberto De Zerbi's side ran out 3-0 winners against Hoffenheim on Saturday with new signing Sandro Tonali running the show.

Richarlison scored the opener with young winger Mikey Moore grabbing a brace upon his return from a loan to Rangers.

Now, Hoffenheim will come calling once again today but De Zerbi will have one eye on the game and another on his transfer wishlist.
