Read Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur were one of the most active clubs in the transfer market as they made ten new signings under Roberto De Zerbi.

In what was a summer of change at N17, a handful of notable players also departed the club, such as Cristian Romero, Djed Spence and Guglielmo Vicario.

In terms of their attacking midfield spot, Tottenham are in a bit of a spot of bother as Xavi Simons, Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison continue to be hampered by injuries.

Mohammed Kudus can play in that position, but reports suggest Tottenham are actively keeping tabs on Mateus Mane.

Tottenham want Mateus Mane

Ekrem Konur reports that the Lilywhites are ‘actively’ scouting the young Englishman, who is valued at around £50m according to Goal.

An excerpt from his Football360 article reads: “Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Brentford, Everton, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Newcastle United all maintain active scouting files on the 18-year-old.”

Manchester United and Liverpool’s interest has also been mentioned in the report, with Mane hailed as Wolves’ biggest asset as they aim to return to the Premier League.

The 18-year-old has more than proved that he is ready for top-flight football, so don’t be surprised to see him secure a transfer in 2027.

Tottenham Hotspur were given a harsh reality check yesterday as they were beaten 3-0 by Brentford in their Premier League season opener.

There was an expectation that the Lilywhites would immediately make a big impact this season after spending £230m on six new signings in the summer transfer window.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side disappointed across the pitch, but they looked particularly toothless in attack as the likes of Richarlison, Mathys Tel and Mikey Moore struggled.

And Alasdair Gold says Moore’s loan deal to join Koln could be confirmed this week based on incomings.

Mikey Moore set to leave Tottenham this week

Moore has a deal in place to join the Bundesliga side, but Tottenham haven’t signed off on it yet as they wait for Savinho’s transfer to be confirmed.

The Lilywhites are also in talks to sign Omar Marmoush from Manchester City, and his arrival could further push Moore closer to the exit door.

Gold believes the young Englishman will get his loan move this weekend despite starting Tottenham’s 3-0 defeat vs Brentford.

An excerpt from his Football London column reads: “Mikey Moore will likely head out on loan to Koln in the coming days, Mateus Fernandes showed why he won’t be left out of the starting line-up again, Pedro Porro will return at right-back as will Micky van de Ven in the centre.”

This isn’t surprising in the slightest as it was the plan all along. Once Tottenham confirm deals for Savinho and Marmoush, Moore’s loan deal to Germany is expected to be announced.

Tottenham Hotspur are sort of fighting for their lives to recruit top-quality attackers.

But in terms of other incomings, player sales and loaning out youngsters, Roberto De Zerbi and Co are smashing it out of the park.

In recent weeks, a handful of young attackers like Mikey Moore and Mason Melia have agreed loan moves.

And now, Yang Min-hyeok is also on his way out of the club as he looks set to move to the Belgian Pro League.

Yang Min-hyeok to leave Tottenham on loan

Yang Min-hyeok has had loan spells with Queens Park Rangers, Portsmouth and Coventry City in recent weeks.

His move to Coventry, in particular, was a disaster as he didn’t feature as much as he would have liked.

Regular game time is the name of the game for the youngster, which is probably why he’s agreed a loan move to KVC Westerlo.

Journalist Sacha Tavolieri wrote on X: “EXCLUSIVE: Yang Min-hyeok set to be loaned to KVC Westerlo this season from the Spurs.

“The Korean player has already made his medical tests this morning. Full agreement found with Tottenham.”

Tottenham are expected to officially confirm the deal anytime now, as the 20-year-old has already completed his medical.

​

Tottenham Hotspur’s search for an attacker has been a bit frustrating, to say the least.

The Lilywhites have recruited well across other areas of the pitch, but in attack, they haven’t been able to bring in reinforcements.

Earlier this summer, we relayed claims on Read Tottenham that Ferran Torres was a target for the club.

But now, it appears as if he will move to PSG after the Ligue 1 giants moved closer to securing his signature.

Tottenham target Ferran Torres headed to PSG

Torres’ reputation has skyrocketed after he scored the winner for Spain at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Since then, he’s garnered interest from several clubs across the world, especially with his Barcelona contract set to expire next summer.

Tottenham have been credited with an interest, but thus far, they haven’t made a move for the versatile forward.

And now, Romano says Torres is close to signing for PSG after the reigning European champions submitted a bid for him.

He wrote on X: “BREAKING: PSG are closing in on a verbal agreement for Ferran Torres.

“PSG sent official bid worth €50m package to Barcelona, talks at final stages. French side see Ferran as opportunity at that fee having one year left on contract, otherwise expected to cost €70/80m.”

Tottenham will now have to look elsewhere for an attacker. And with less than two weeks to go for the new season to begin, they are running out of time to reinforce their frontline before they take on Brentford.

Tottenham Hotspur’s search for quality attacking players continues as we approach the business end of the summer transfer window.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side have been linked with a host of names, but nothing concrete has materialised so far.

In recent days, however, a new name has been thrown into the mix: Folarin Balogun.

And now, if reports from England are to be believed, he is open to a departure this summer.

Tottenham target Folarin Balogun open to leaving

Arsenal sold the USA international for a fee believed to be in the region of €40m, including add-ons, in the summer of 2023.

And it’s safe to say he’s fared quite well for Monaco since, having also starred for USA at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

And now, Football Insider confirm that Tottenham have been offered the chance to sign the striker by his agents.

He is also open to leaving the club if the right offer comes along this summer, which is good news for the Lilywhites.

With Dominic Solanke struggling with injuries and Richarlison underwhelming in front of goal, Balogun could prove to be an inspired addition for Tottenham.

And it would cause a bit of a stir in the red half of North London too, which would be more than just a silver lining.

​

Tottenham Hotspur’s incoming transfers have been the talk of the town this summer.

So far, Roberto De Zerbi has spent in excess of £230m on six new recruits and a couple of others could follow between now and the end of the summer transfer window.

Spurs have already recouped some money through the sales of Luka Vuskovic and Will Lankshear, with the impending sales of Ashley Phillips and Manor Solomon also set to add to their kitty.

And now, they could be set for a windfall if Troy Parrott completes a move to West Ham United.

Tottenham could get £3m from Troy Parrott sale

Tottenham sold the Irish international for a fee of £6.7m in the summer of 2024 and it’s safe to say he has delivered the goods for AZ Alkmaar.

Parrott has become one of the most reliable goalscorers in the Eredivisie, attracting interest from a host of clubs across the world.

Multiple reports have confirmed that West Ham have bid £15m to secure his signature this summer, with the Hammers hoping to add to their squad to aid their promotion push.

Tottenham included a 20% sell-on clause, so if the £15m deal goes through, they are set to net around £3m.

The good news is West Ham’s bid was just an initial offer, so Parrott is likely to command a higher fee, which, in turn, could give Tottenham a bigger slice of the cake.

Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of attacking signings has been frustrating, to say the least.

However, in terms of player sales, they haven’t done too badly this summer, while a handful of youngsters have also left on loan.

Roberto De Zerbi’s squad is slowly starting to take shape, but there is still a bit of deadwood to clear out before the transfer window slams shut.

Manor Solomon has agreed a deal to join West Ham United and finally looks like he will bid goodbye to the club.

And now, Ben Jacobs has revealed that he is scheduled to have his medical later today.

Manor Solomon to have West Ham medical today

The Hammers agreed a deal for Solomon and then pulled the plug on it momentarily after a lot of backlash from their fans.

The Israeli attacker also had interest from newly-promoted Hull City, but a deal never came to fruition.

A day later, West Ham returned to the table and swiftly concluded a deal worth 7m including add-ons.

And now, Jacobs confirmed his Hammers medical with a straightforward update on X: “Manor Solomon will undergo his West Ham medical today.”

Solomon has played just five times for Tottenham and his pre-season displays put him in the shop window, which has led to a transfer to West Ham.

Well played, Tottenham and De Zerbi.

Tottenham Hotspur started the transfer window in full swing in terms of incomings.

But in recent weeks, focus has shifted to selling players, with a handful of youngsters departing on loan.

Mason Melia has joined Lincoln City and Mikey Moore is close to moving to FC Koln on loan, while Manor Solomon’s move to West Ham United should also be announced soon.

Tottenham also agreed a deal to sell Ashley Phillips to Middlesbrough, where he was set to reunite with Will Lankshear.

But now, it appears as if his move has hit a snag.

Ashley Phillips’ Tottenham departure now on hold

The Daily Mail report that the youngster’s move to Boro is now on hold despite the two teams agreeing a £20m deal including add-ons earlier this week.

This is obviously a big blow for everyone involved.

Phillips would be Boro’s main man to improve their promotion prospects, while Tottenham were set to land a massive fee for a player who was never going to feature regularly under Roberto De Zerbi.

The deal, however, isn’t off completely, based on the reporting. Negotiations have been paused for now, but it remains to be seen if all parties involved engage in discussions in the coming days to work something out.

Tottenham Hotspur need to sign an attacker or two this summer to compete on all fronts under Roberto De Zerbi.

The Lilywhites have bolstered every other area of the pitch but have thus far been unable to add to their ranks up front.

In terms of outgoing, though, they have already sent Mason Melia out on loan and sold Will Lankshear, while Mikey Moore is also set to depart on loan.

And now, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Manor Solomon is also on his way out of the club.

Manor Solomon to leave Tottenham for West Ham

Solomon has been linked with a move to West Ham for well over a week now.

The attacker agreed a deal to sign for the Hammers and at the time, it looked like the situation would be resolved swiftly.

However, West Ham pulled the plug on their deal to sign Solomon after backlash from their fans.

And now, they have made another U-turn, with Romano confirming that all parties involved are confident the deal will get done.

“West Ham advancing to final stages of Manor Solomon deal with Tottenham and player’s camp,” wrote Romano on X.

“Deal proceeding, #WHUFC confident.”

Tottenham Hotspur have been one of the busiest clubs in Europe this summer and have shown no signs of slowing down.

However, before signing more players, they are expected to focus on outgoings to raise funds for new arrivals and make space in the squad.

Cristian Romero has been linked with a move to Inter Milan, but the deal has hit a bit of a roadblock in recent days.

And now, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that it is expected to be resolved in the coming days.

Romero’s Tottenham future to be resolved soon

Roberto De Zerbi confirmed that Romero will be allowed to leave the club, while the Argentine has been in talks with Inter Milan since the conclusion of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

However, after the Serie A champions signed John Stones, their pursuit slowed down a little bit.

And now, Romano says Cristian Chivu’s side will make a final decision in the coming days, with Romero set to earn the same salary as he currently does at Tottenham.

“Inter are expected to make final decision soon on Cuti Romero deal,” said Romano on his YouTube channel.

“No issues on agreement with Spurs on fee, Romero asks same salary he has at Tottenham. Inter to decide soon as more clubs are keen on the Argentinian; exits could be key.”
