Micky de Ven 'desperate' to leave Spurs amid Barcelona interest, Manchester United keen on Serie A defender Tarik Muharemovic - Euro Transfer News

In today's edition of Euro Transfer News, Barcelona have identified Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven as an option in their search for a new centre-back, while Spurs are looking at another Premier League star. Meanwhile, Manchester United are keeping tabs on Sassuolo defender Tarik Muharemovic but they will likely have to battle with Internazionale for the 22-year-old's signature.

Barca add Van de Ven to shortlist

Barcelona are interested in signing a centre-back and Tottenham Hotspur's Micky van de Ven is on their radar.

Spanish outlet Sport has reported that, despite being under contract until 2029, the Dutchman is "desperately" keen to leave north London in the summer.

The report reads: "It's no secret that Barca is closely monitoring the market for centre-backs to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. The Catalan club is clear that now is the time to bring in a first-choice defender, preferably left-footed.

"The sporting director has made contact with several names, including Nico Schlotterbeck [Borussia Dortmund], Alessandro Bastoni (Inter Milan), and Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace – who is right-footed), but there's a dark horse on the list.

"It's Dutch international Micky Van de Ven, a player who desperately wants to leave Tottenham this summer and would welcome a move to Barca.

"The sporting management views the signing of the centre-back as a strategic operation and is confident that resources will be available to handle a high-level transfer.

"The main obstacle is the fierce competition, with left-footed players highly sought after in the market, but there is optimism because some footballers would prioritise a move to Barca if they decide to leave their current clubs."

Premier League clubs eye Bosnia star

Another centre-back who is in high demand is Sassuolo's Tarik Muharemovic, with Manchester United among the parties interested in the former Juventus player.

Sport Witness, via Gazzetta dello Sport, has reported that both the Premier League giants and Internazionale are keen on landing the 22-year-old's signature.

Aston Villa and Bournemouth are also reportedly interested in "one of the best centre-backs in Serie A this season".

The report adds: "Aston Villa, Manchester United and Bournemouth are following the defender. Inter Milan are also interested and view him as a replacement for Stefan De Vrij. Bologna have also enquired about his situation and this has been confirmed by Sassuolo CEO Giovanni Carnevali.

"Aston Villa, Manchester United and Bournemouth have been issued a warning about Juventus, though. This is because the Bianconeri have a sell-on clause of 50% in Muharemovic’s current contract. This can hand them an advantage, especially if they make a serious approach.

"The 22-year-old is currently valued at €30 million with Sassuolo not interested in a January sale. Their objective is to make sure that Muharemovic’s value increases further by the summer. This will help them earn an even bigger capital gain, having signed him from Juve for €3m."

Tottenham want Schade

Kevin Schade has been in excellent form for Brentford this season, scoring six times in the Premier League, including a recent hat-trick against Bournemouth.

His impressive numbers have alerted potential suitors, with Spurs, led by his former coach Thomas Frank, at the top of the list and closely monitoring his situation across London.

Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg has reported: "Kevin Schade is one to watch for the summer, as a move after the World Cup currently appears likely.

"However, Brentford still want him to stay and are keen on extending his contract beyond 2028. Many clubs are interested. Tottenham are among the teams closely monitoring him, as revealed. Price valuation: €50–60m."

Madrid 'frontrunners' for Schlotterbeck

Real Madrid are leading the race for Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck, according to Bild, although Bayern Munich are also keen on the Bundesliga star, who will be a free agent in 2027, which is when the German giants may strike a deal.

However, Dortmund will reportedly slap a €50m price tag on the 26-year-old for any clubs interested in a move for him this summer.

That has not put Madrid off making a move, though, as Los Blancos may lose both Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba at the end of the current campaign.

Mohammed Kudus is set to be out until April with a quad injury, Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank said on Thursday. Following the sale of Brennan Johnson - Kudus' natural deputy - to Crystal Palace, Frank finds himself scrambling for options to combat the absence of the Ghana international. Might the north London club dip into the January transfer market, or find in-house solutions?

If Wednesday's last-gasp 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth was not bleak enough for Tottenham Hotspur supporters, Thomas Frank's injury updates in Thursday's press conference did not make matters any easier.

In a huge blow to Spurs' hopes of salvaging their season, came the news that summer signing Mohammed Kudus is not expected to be back in action until April, after he sustained a quad injury in the 1-1 draw with Sunderland on January 4.

"Kudus is unfortunately a bigger one to the tendon in the quad," Frank said ahead of Saturday's FA Cup third-round match against Aston Villa - live on TNT Sports and discovery+. "So that's one where we expect him back after the March international break."

Spurs' 17th-placed Premier League finish under Ange Postecoglou last season could, in part, be attributed to their relentless injury woes. And judging by the 2025/26 season so far, Frank's fortunes are much the same - as he also offered updates on the fitness of Dejan Kulusevski, Lucas Bergvall and Rodrigo Bentancur.

He continued: "And then the latest on Dejan Kulusevski is that we know it's a complicated injury, if there's one person that can accelerate that, it is Dejan, he's a top pro and got a top mentality.

"The most important thing is to remove the pain in the knee. Got an injection to help that 10 days ago, we know in three to four weeks if it's settled, and when it's settled hopefully he'll be on the grass and from there we'll see what's happening."

"Yeah, Lucas is being assessed today, we know more later today with him. Same with Rodri.

"Rodri's hamstring injury looks like a bigger one, unfortunately. We don't know the timeframe of that, we also will know later."

Long-term injuries to Dominic Solanke and James Maddison have also hampered Spurs' season, while Frank has been without Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr in recent weeks due to their Africa Cup of Nations participation.

Kudus had featured in all but one Premier League match prior to him being absent at the Vitality Stadium on Wednesday, so who might step up in the next three months?

Randal Kolo Muani

Particularly in the opening weeks of the Premier League season, Kudus was the main creative drive for Frank's side.

While he had not managed to chalk up a goal contribution since December 9 - the Ghana international holding width and willingly running in behind for Spurs down the right gave him a unique attribute among Spurs' forward options, and one they will struggle to replicate in his absence.

Frank explains Arsenal cup blunder

Randal Kolo Muani replaced Kudus on the right when coming on in his place against Sunderland. With previous experience playing across the front line, he represents an option for Frank, albeit his failure to impact the 1-1 draw may cast some doubts.

Brennan Johnson would originally have been the natural replacement for Kudus when he hobbled off after 19 minutes. Alas, just two days earlier, Crystal Palace had completed a club-record deal to sign the Wales international.

Xavi Simons

Mathys Tel, who has largely been reduced to substitute appearances since signing from Bayern Munich last season, provided a timely reminder of his promise with an excellent opener against Bournemouth - cutting in from the left to fire a low effort past Djordje Petrovic.

And it raises a strong case for the France Under-21 international to get a regular run of games in that position - potentially freeing up Xavi Simons to figure on the right.

Simons returned from a three-match suspension in the Bournemouth defeat, and provided a lovely assist for Tel's opener with a back-heel flick.

He has figured across Spurs' attack this season - mostly from the left or behind the striker - but showed great proficiency from the right during his prior spells with PSV and RB Leipzig.

The Netherlands international has shown flashes of great quality during his time in north London, but struggled to consistently sustain those performances. Might this new role offer a chance to really kickstart his Spurs career?

Wilson Odobert

Wilson Odobert is another who is clearly most comfortable on the left, but certainly has the capabilities to fill the void left by Kudus.

Odobert's injury-ravaged 2024/25 campaign featured one clear highlight - his brace in the 3-1 victory against AZ Alkmaar in the UEFA Europa League round-of-16.

The 21-year-old played off the right during that match, perhaps as a more traditional winger than Kudus, but his ability on that side was there for all to see.

Odobert playing on the right was also fruitful when he netted in the 1-1 draw with West Ham United in May, and despite most regularly featuring on the left under Frank, his experience cannot be ignored as the Dane must creatively search for an able Kudus deputy.

New signing?

Some reports, including by the Daily Mail, have suggested Spurs have accelerated their pursuit of an attacking January addition after learning the severity of Kudus' injury.

Due to not having an obvious like-for-like replacement for Kudus - who is expected to return shortly before the end of the season - might Spurs bring plans forward to acquire one of their targets this month?

Monaco's right-winger Maghnes Akliouche has been mentioned among Spurs' reported targets, and would provide immediate relief to their current conundrum, having impressed this season with three goals and five assists in 23 appearances.

Juventus youngster Kenan Yildiz is also said to be admired by Spurs, but the north London club would have to fight off several other suitors in order to secure the Turkey international's signature from Juventus.

Tottenham have just one win in their last six Premier League matches after losing 3-2 against Bournemouth. Antoine Semenyo's late winner on Wednesday sparked scenes of frustration among Spurs supporters and there were heated discussions between players and fans at full-time. After the match, captain Cristian Romero took to social media to share his own frustrations - with his words later edited.

Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero has seemingly accused some people at the club of telling "a few lies" in a cryptic but now-edited social media post.

Tensions between Spurs players and their supporters were raised again after they conceded a late goal at Bournemouth to lose 3-2 in the Premier League.

Micky van de Ven and Palhinha approached visiting fans and exchanged words with them at full-time, while goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario shepherded an animated Pedro Porro away from the crowds.

Spurs have been booed on a number of occasions this season, with fans even chanting "boring, boring Tottenham" at their own team during their recent goalless draw against Brentford.

After the defeat to Bournemouth, Romero took to social media and a section of his post read: "At times like this, it should be other people coming out to speak, but they don't - as has been happening for several years now.

"They only show up when things are going well, to tell a few lies."

The post has since been edited - removing the suggestion of lying.

"Apologies to all fans of you who follow us everywhere, who are always there and will continue to be," Romero wrote.

"We are responsible, there's no doubt about that. I am the first. But we will keep facing up to it and trying to turn the situation around, for ourselves and for the club.

"At times like this, it should be other people coming out to speak, but they don't - as has been happening for several years now. They only show up when things are going well.

"We'll stay here, working, sticking together and giving our all to turn things around. Especially at times like this, keeping quiet, working harder and moving forward all together is part of football.

"All together, it will be easier."

Tottenham are 14th in the Premier League table and have won just one of their last six matches in the top flight.

Defeat at the Vitality Stadium put more pressure on manager Thomas Frank during his first season in charge at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Speaking after the match, he said: "I think it's fair to say everyone involved in Tottenham - players, staff, fans, everyone - this is a tough one to take today.

"I think hopefully everyone can see how hard it works to get everything in the right direction.

"I think overall the performance was good, especially in the second half, and again where we deserved to get more. That is extremely painful to be part of so, of course, people are frustrated, I'm frustrated."

Frank was thrust further into the spotlight after he was seen drinking from an Arsenal cup before the game at Bournemouth.

Tottenham’s next match is against Aston Villa in the third round of the FA Cup - which you can watch on TNT Sports and discovery+.

That is followed by a London derby in the Premier League against West Ham and UEFA Champions League fixtures against Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt.

It was a night to forget for Thomas Frank and Tottenham Hotspur, who fell to defeat at Bournemouth and have now won just one of their last six Premier League matches. A photograph of Frank drinking from an Arsenal cup pre-match added an unwanted element of controversy, but the Spurs boss insisted in his post-match press conference that it was unintentional and a "sad" topic of discussion.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank dismissed any suggestion that he intentionally drank from an Arsenal cup before Wednesday's 3-2 Premier League defeat to Bournemouth.

The under-pressure Spurs boss was pictured drinking from the cup, which prominently featured the Arsenal badge, but said he did so inadvertently.

It was an unwanted talking point for Frank on another discouraging night for his team, who were beaten at the Vitality Stadium after a 95th-minute winner from Antoine Semenyo.

Asked about the cup situation in his post-match press conference, Frank said: "Definitely not noticed it.

"I think it's fair to say that we're not winning every single football match, so it would be absolutely, completely stupid of me to take a cup with Arsenal. Is there anyone thinking I've done that? All the staff have done it.

"They [Arsenal] have been in the changing room, the game before us. It's normal to take a cup, give me an espresso. I do that before every game. I think actually it's a little bit sad in football that I need to be asked a question about that.

"I think we're definitely going in the wrong direction if we need to worry about me having a cup with another logo of another club. Of course I'll never do that. That's extremely stupid."

On defeat at Bournemouth, which left Spurs 14th in the Premier League table, Frank told Sky Sports: "It's very difficult, it's really painful. The players put in everything. The first half was a fine half. We started well and went 1-0 up, conceded two goals from second-phase set pieces where we need to do better.

"I loved the mentality in the second half, we went out there and were completely on top. There was one team out there, and it was us.

"We got a more than well-deserved equaliser. We were the team closer to winning it in the end, so to concede an equaliser five minutes into added time is so painful in every aspect.

"The team worked so hard. It's very hard to take. You can never concede that when you've worked so hard to come back into the game though, of course."

'A lovely moment for Antoine'

If Wednesday evening marked an end to his Bournemouth career, it was a heartwarming one for Semenyo - who was given a rousing reception when exiting the field after netting a stunning winner.

The 26-year-old is reportedly on the cusp of a move to Manchester City, and Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola admitted it was likely a farewell.

Asked if it was Semenyo's last game, the Spaniard told Sky Sports: "It looks like it, yes.

"You have medical, all the formalities. I’m afraid to say it, as I don’t want to lose him, but I think it’s going to be his last moments with us."

Iraola added: "The last games we were deserving [of] more [points]. It can’t go every time to the other side. Today we were the ones shooting from the edge [of the box], scoring.

"A lovely moment for Antoine, very happy for him. Sometimes football gives you these things. He’s been top. He’s given everything, been committed to everything we wanted until the end.

"We gave him here all we could and I think it’s good that football gives him back this moment for sure."

Semenyo's winner ensured Bournemouth would win their first game since October, having gone 11 matches without victory.

KUDUS JOINS THE SPURS INJURY LIST

Both of these teams have had plenty of injuries this season, but it’s hard to argue against Spurs’ absentees being the most impactful injury situation across the Premier League this season. Mohammed Kudus is the latest to be ruled out, with the duration of his lay-off as-yet unknown, but key players Dekan Kulusevski, Dominic Solanke, Destiny Udogie and James Maddison remain long-term absentees, having missed the whole season so far. Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma are also unavailable for Spurs, at the African Cup of Nations, with the pair set to face off later this week when Senegal play Mali in the quarter-finals.

TWO UNDER-PERFORMING SQUADS

Both of these clubs enjoyed disappointing results during the festive period to slide rapidly down the congested Premier League table.

Bournemouth come into this game on 23 points and in 15th spot in the league – not a great position for a talented group of players with a highly-respected manager. But they remain closer on points to fifth than the relegation spots.

Spurs are four points better off than Bournemouth, but that only adds to the frustration at the teams recent dropped points. Frank’s side haven’t deserved more though, playing sluggish football, particularly in attack, where they have looked toothless.

ANTOINE SEMENYO STARTS

It is expected that Antoine Semenyo, who starts tonight will complete a heavily rumoured transfer to Manchester City later this week, with reports suggesting that the winger will have his medical tomorrow. He has been superb for Bournemouth across the last four seasons, racking up a century of Premier League appearances and developing into one of the most impactful wide players in the division. His loss will be significant for Bournemouth, but they are at least getting a hefty fee, with Semenyo expected to depart for the full amount of his release clause, which is believed to be £65m.

Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton pay tribute to 'all-time great' Martin Chivers after former England striker dies aged 80

Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton have paid tribute to ex-England striker Martin Chivers, who has died at the age of 80. Chivers won three major trophies in a prolific spell at Spurs after impressing for his hometown club on the south coast. Tottenham confirmed that their players would wear black armbands in his memory for their Premier League fixture against Bournemouth on Wednesday evening.

Tottenham Hotspur have expressed their "immense sadness" at the news that their ex-striker Martin Chivers has died at the age of 80.

Chivers, who won two League Cups and the 1972 UEFA Cup in an eight-and-a-half year stint at the club, was a prolific scorer in the first division, netting 174 goals in 367 appearances for Spurs.

The Southampton-born forward also earned 24 England caps in which he scored 14 goals.

"It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of our legendary former striker, Martin Chivers," read the club's post on social media.

"We extend our deepest sympathies to Martin's family, friends and former team-mates at this incredibly sad time.

"Rest in peace, Martin. One of the all-time greats."

Spurs added that their players would wear black armbands for their Premier League match against Bournemouth on Wednesday evening.

Chivers began his professional career at his local club Southampton, making 189 appearances and scoring 108 goals during a five-and-a-half year spell.

"We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our former striker, Martin Chivers," wrote Southampton.

"We offer our thoughts to Martin's family and friends during this difficult time."

Ex-Barcelona and Aberdeen striker Steve Archibald, who joined Tottenham four years after Chivers had departed for Swiss outfit Servette, called the forward a "Rolls-Royce".

He wrote on X: "Watched the great Martin Chivers before I became a pro, was an amazing watch. He was like [a] Rolls-Royce, so smooth in his movement, excellent in the air and a great finisher, but on top of all of that he was a really nice guy.

"Most sincere condolences to all of Martin's family."

Chivers went on to score 37 goals in 74 appearances for Servette, clinching both the Swiss Cup and Swiss League Cup in back-to-back seasons.

The 1971 Anglo-Italian League Cup winner also had short spells at Norwich City and Brighton.

Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola said Wednesday's Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur could be Antoine Semenyo's last for the club as reports suggest the forward is nearing a move to Manchester City. There has been increasing speculation over Semenyo's Bournemouth future following a strong start to the 2025/26 campaign but Iraola said that so far there is "nothing signed".

Antoine Semenyo could make his final appearance for Bournemouth against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday, Andoni Iraola said.

Semenyo is reportedly nearing the completion of a move to Manchester City, with the forward's release clause said to be valued at just under £65 million.

Despite widespread speculation over his future on the south coast, Semenyo started and played the full 90 minutes in Bournemouth's 3-2 defeat to Arsenal on January 3.

Iraola confirmed Semenyo "will play" against Spurs, and despite saying a move has not yet been completed for the Ghana international, the head coach feels the forward will be making his last appearance for the club.

"I can give you my opinion, from my experience, but there is nothing signed with Antoine Semenyo," Iraola said in his pre-match news conference.

"If you ask me personally 'what do you think', with all the noise and this, I think it could be the last game.

"But I cannot guarantee it. It’s my personal opinion. I understand the market, I understand the noise.

"But right now, there is nothing agreed, nothing signed. He’s our player, I hope he continues. But my understanding, because I’ve been in the market before, in this club and others, it’s a chance it’s his last game."

Iraola praised Semenyo's conduct amid the speculation. "I think he has been very professional," Iraola said. "He has dealt with this situation, whatever happens, I think very well. He's always been ready to play, to give everything.

"And I want him to play very well tomorrow and let's see what happens later. But I can only speak very well about him personally and professionally. And his commitment has never really been in doubt."

Semenyo has been a pivotal figure for Bournemouth in their success under Iraola. He recorded 13 goals and seven assists in 42 appearances in all competitions last season and already has nine goals and three assists in 20 matches this season.

The 25-year-old's form has seen him attract interest from not only City but also Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool - according to reports.

Iraola added that Semenyo is "almost impossible to replace," with their situation worsened by Justin Kluivert undergoing surgery on a left knee injury he sustained against Arsenal.

Bournemouth are 15th and winless in 11 matches heading into Wednesday's clash, with Spurs head coach Thomas Frank under mounting pressure.

SPURS WILL GO ABOVE SUNDERLAND IF WIN

Such is the proximity in the middle class of the Premier League that there is little difference between fourth and 14th.

Sunderland start seventh and Spurs 13th, but things could look a lot rosier for Thomas Frank's side if they win today.

Tottenham Hotspur Women have boosted their squad ahead of the second half of the season with the signing of Maika Hamano on a loan deal until the end of the season. The Japan international's arrival was hailed by Spurs boss Martin Ho, as the north Londoners look to push on after an impressive first half of the season. Spurs play their first match of 2026 against Leicester City on January 11.

Maika Hamano will leave Chelsea to join Tottenham Hotspur on loan for the remainder of the season.

Hamano has made eight appearances this season, scoring two goals and two assists, finding the net in a 2-1 opening day win over Manchester City.

The 21-year-old also scored six goals and registered three assists across 16 starts in 2024/25, as The Blues won a treble of Women’s Super League, FA Cup and League Cup.

Hamano told the Tottenham website: "Watching the team this season, I really felt they’ve been playing some great football and I thought if I joined this team, I could develop a lot as a player.

"I want to show fans the connection with my team-mates and exciting plays. At the end of the day, football is about winning, and I’ll do my best to contribute to the team’s success."

Spurs head coach Martin Ho added: "We are pleased to welcome Maika to Tottenham Hotspur. Maika is a technically gifted and intelligent attacking player who brings creativity, movement, and composure in the final third.

"She has experience at the highest level and will add quality and depth to our attacking options.

"This is a good opportunity for Maika to continue her development in a demanding environment, and we are looking forward to working with her for the remainder of the season."

Hamano already has extensive pedigree in the game, beginning her career at Cerezo Osaka Sakai, ahead of making the move to top-flight side INAC Kobe Leonessa at the tender age of 17 in 2021.

She would go on to win the Japanese title there before making the move to Chelsea in January 2023.

A loan move to Swedish side Hammarby followed, where Hamano scored seven goals in 17 league appearances.

The attacker made her WSL debut for Chelsea in a 3-0 win over Bristol City in December 2023, scoring her first goal in the English top flight against Aston Villa four months later.

On the international scene, Hamano was included in Japan's squads for the 2023 Women's World Cup and the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

This came before success at the 2025 SheBelievesCup, playing alongside current Tottenham defender Toko Koga.

Tottenham resume their season after the winter break when they host Leicester City next Sunday.

That comes a week before an FA Cup fourth round tie against the same opposition, before Spurs end the month away at Liverpool on January 25.

Spurs have enjoyed an impressive campaign to date, sitting fifth in the WSL table with 20 points - only two adrift of north London rivals Arsenal in third.
