Tottenham ‘Extremely Unlikely’ to Complete Deal for ‘Remarkable’ Forward

Tottenham are ‘extremely unlikely’ to sign the 28-year-old before the deadline.

Fabrizio Romano Shares Fresh Postecoglou Sack Update at Tottenham

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is struggling to get a tune out of his squad at the moment, and Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on his future.

Southampton have been making enquiries over the possibility of raiding Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur and signing Dane Scarlett if Tyler Dibling heads in the opposite direction from St Mary's during the final days of the winter transfer window, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Albert Gronbaek became Saints' latest acquisition when he completed a loan move from Rennes, which includes a £12.7million option to buy, but head coach Ivan Juric has remained in the market for further reinforcements as he aims to strengthen the squad he inherited from predecessor Russell Martin.

The Croatian tactician was handed the managerial reins in December, when he signed an 18-month contract, and there is an appetite to complete late business due to going into this weekend's clash against Ipswich Town in serious danger of an immediate return to the Championship thanks to sitting 11 points adrift of top flight safety.

Saints Consider Attempting to Recruit Scarlett

Discussions with Spurs have involved 20-year-old frontman

Southampton have asked Tottenham whether there is potential to sign Scarlett in the event of Dibling moving to north London, according to GMS sources, after his name has cropped up during discussions between the two Premier League sides in the final stages of the transfer window.

Saints are at risk of seeing their academy graduate embark on a fresh challenge as the north Londoners are among the sides circling despite making it clear that they will not entertain offers which fall short of his £55million price tag, but they may look to soften the blow by landing one of Spurs' highly-rated talents.

GMS sources have been informed that Southampton have an interest in Scarlett and, having seen him find the back of the net in Tottenham's midweek Europa League win over Elfsborg, Juric is tempted to discover if Postecoglou would entertain sanctioning a mid-season departure as he goes in search of further firepower.

The 20-year-old striker was recalled from a loan spell with Championship outfit Oxford United earlier this month and, despite being behind the likes of Dominic Solanke and Richarlison when they are fully fit, he was described as 'amazing' by teammate Ben Davies following his goalscoring display on Thursday.

Although Tottenham have given no indications over whether they would be prepared to sell Scarlett in the coming days, GMS sources have learned that Southampton may face an uphill battle as their counterparts are being forced to contend with an injury crisis which has seen them drop to within eight points of the relegation zone.

Switch to North Londoners Interesting Dibling

England under-21 international refraining from agitating for transfer

GMS sources have been told that Dibling is interested in swapping Southampton for Tottenham before the 11pm deadline on Monday, but he has stopped short of agitating for the switch as he has decided to continue keeping his options open despite running out of time to move onto pastures new.

Saints are in a strong negotiating position as the England under-21 international still has two-and-a-half-years remaining on a contract which allows him to pocket £5,000-per-week, leaving Spurs with a difficult challenge to convince his current employers to cash in unless they meet their demands.

Tottenham have remained confident that they can eventually get the deal over the line for Dibling, GMS sources understand, but he does not feel under pressure to seal his Southampton exit before the transfer window slams shut and is mulling over whether to see out the season on the south coast before reassessing his career plans.

The winger's decision not to rush into a final call over his future could benefit Newcastle United as GMS sources recently revealed that the Magpies are hoping to have the opportunity to win the race for an agreement in the summer due to not currently having the cash to meet his valuation.

Tottenham Hotspur are ‘extremely unlikely’ to sign Brentford forward Yoane Wissa before Monday’s transfer deadline, Standard Sport has revealed.

The Bees would reportedly demand around £40m to sell Wissa before the window closes on 3 February, having rejected a £22m bid from Nottingham Forest last week.

Spurs are likely to focus on other targets for now, despite being linked with a move for the DR Congo international in recent days.

The Lilywhites are reportedly in talks to sign Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel and are prepared to spend £60m on the talented Frenchman to boost Ange Postecoglou’s depleted frontline.

Brentford Set Wissa’s Asking Price

Tottenham move ‘extremely unlikely’

According to Standard Sport, Brentford want to keep their attacking options intact before Monday’s deadline and are unlikely to sell Wissa at this stage.

While Forest were keen to sign the 28-year-old earlier this month and were prepared to offer him a significant pay rise, they have yet to meet Brentford’s £40m valuation.

The DR Congo international, praised as 'remarkable' by Thomas Frank, has been a key player for the Bees this season, scoring 11 goals and providing two assists in 20 Premier League games.

Although a January move appears unlikely, Brentford are reportedly braced for ‘serious interest’ in Wissa after the season, when he will enter the final 12 months of his contract – though the club hold an option to extend for another year.

Tottenham are preparing for a busy end to the January transfer window as they look to address their injury crisis up front, with Dominic Solanke, Wilson Odobert and Brennan Johnson all unavailable.

The Lilywhites are in talks to sign Tel before the deadline but could face competition from multiple Premier League clubs, with Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal all interested in the 19-year-old.

Tottenham Hotspur have been offered the chance to sign Olympique Lyonnais playmaker Rayan Cherki, but there are “obvious reasons" to steer clear of a deal, according to journalist Dean Jones while speaking on the Ranks FC podcast.

Despite having seen their squad ravaged by injuries throughout the campaign, Spurs have made just one signing this month; goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague, however they have now agreed a £50m deal with Bayern Munich for Mathys Tel.

Six losses in seven games means that pressure is mounting on manager Ange Postecoglou, who will no doubt be desperate to bolster his squad.

An array of Spurs players, from goalkeepers through to attackers, have been struck down with injury at one point or another throughout this season. The club, who sit 15th in the Premier League after 23 matches, will surely be aware of their predicament and as such, recognise how badly they need outfield reinforcements.

Having been linked to a number of players, it appears one potential target in particular will not be moving to London before the transfer window closes.

Spurs Move Unlikely for Cherki

London side may pursue other targets

Cherki has enjoyed a solid opening half of the season, the 21-year-old having further cemented himself as a promising talent on the continent. Since missing the opening four Ligue 1 games for Lyon in this campaign, he has been ever-present for the side, both in domestic and European competition.

It is believed that Cherki - described as a "future Ballon d'Or winner" may be available this month for as little as £20 million, in no small part due to the provisional relegation hanging over Lyon’s head, which means they need to raise funds. Though Tottenham are keen, however, it does not appear that Cherki will be a player they move for before the transfer deadline.

Dean Jones provided an update on the Cherki situation. Speaking on the Ranks FC Podcast he stated:

“I think there’s a reason that nobody’s bitten on (his £20 million price tag) yet. There’s been a lot of talk about his personality fit for a lot of teams, potentially whether he has the right attitude and application to make the step. I’m not sure that Lyon are in as desperate a financial state now as people were expecting.

“Spurs and Newcastle are two of the clubs that are being offered him. I’m not convinced that either of them are sure about this one. Neither of them play with a number 10 or at least, a very, very obvious number 10, and Rayan Cherki is very much a number 10.

“I think there are obvious reasons for Tottenham to steer clear of this one right now.”

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou could upsurge some of Europe's leading clubs in the race to sign in-demand Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams, according to reports - with the Australian boss aiming to turn the time on his team's poor campaign.

Tottenham have had rotten luck with injuries this season, having seen summer signing Wilson Odobert ruled out for the long-term just weeks after signing from Burnley, whilst Timo Werner is out for another few weeks and Brennan Johnson is on a similar timeline. As a result, incomings are needed - and Williams would be a huge addition to the club.

Report: Nico Williams 'Being Closely Monitored' by Tottenham

Nico Williams has been a star for Athletic Bilbao in recent seasons

The report by ESPN states that Barcelona were expected to be the front-runners for Williams' signature, who has a release clause in the region of €60million (£50million), but sources have suggested that Tottenham are also monitoring his situation closely.

The Lilywhites have been in the market for wide forwards throughout the window, with Bayern Munich's Mathys Tel and Southampton starlet Tyler Dibling both being in their sights - with the former being heavily linked over the past few days - but Williams was the flavour of the month at EURO 2024, and will undoubtedly have plenty of suitors.

Williams, who is reported to want around £300,000-per-week should he move, came through Bilbao's youth academy aged just 11, and made his debut for the first-team in April 2021, alongside brother Iñaki. Since then, Williams has been involved in 122 La Liga games for the Basque outfit, scoring 12 goals in the process - but it's his 22 assists alongside that, with his electric pace - that makes him a top youngster. His talents BBC reporter John Bennett label the forward as 'box office' and 'astonishing' after his performances for Spain over the summer.

Williams shot to prominence at EURO 2024, scoring against Georgia in the round of 16 and against England in the final to see the trophy head back to the Iberian Peninsula after a 12-year hiatus - and although other clubs such as Tottenham's local rivals Arsenal have also been linked by ESPN, he remains in northern Spain for now.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Nico Williams has four goals in 24 caps for Spain.

Williams would be a natural starter, and with Dejan Kulusevski taking up a more central role this season alongside Son Heung-min having one of his worst seasons in a white shirt, he would come in as a marquee signing in a bid to boost Tottenham up the table - either in the next few days or over the summer.

Tottenham Hotspur have been offered the chance to sign AC Milan forward Noah Okafor before the transfer deadline on Monday, Fabrizio Romano has revealed.

The Lilywhites are expected to strengthen Ange Postecoglou’s depleted frontline in the coming days and reportedly view Okafor as one of their options.

According to Romano, Spurs have held internal talks over a late move for the Swiss attacker, whose move to RB Leipzig collapsed earlier this month after he failed a medical.

The 24-year-old has since returned to Milan and made a second-half cameo in their 2-1 Champions League loss to Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday.

Tottenham Eyeing Noah Okafor Deal

The 24-year-old remains available for a move

According to Romano, Okafor remains available for a move in January, despite his return to the AC Milan squad this week:

“Let me tell you, for Tottenham, I want to touch on another exclusive bit that in the last 24 hours, one of the strikers who was offered to Tottenham, is also Noah Okafor from AC Milan, who didn’t join Leipzig and remains available on the market.”

Okafor has struggled for regular minutes at San Siro this season, making just six starts in all competitions, scoring once and providing two assists in 558 minutes.

The 24-year-old, praised as 'magnificent' by Mauro Lustrinelli, still has more than three years left on his contract with Milan, expiring in June 2028.

Although naturally a left-sided winger, Okafor is also capable of playing centrally – similar to Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel, another target for Spurs.

The French striker has no shortage of Premier League suitors, with at least three clubs interested in signing him before the transfer deadline on February 3.

Tottenham are believed to have already opened talks over Tel’s potential arrival but have yet to make any concrete moves for Okafor, despite being offered the 24-year-old in recent hours.

Tottenham Hotspur have ‘concrete interest’ in Southampton starlet Tyler Dibling and would be open to signing the youngster this month, MailOnline journalist Sami Mokbel has revealed.

The Lilywhites, alongside Manchester United, are reportedly among the Premier League clubs chasing the 18-year-old, who has enjoyed a breakthrough season at St Mary’s and is regarded as ‘one of the best young talents’ in Europe.

According to Mokbel, clubs outside England are also tracking Dibling’s impressive progress on the south coast, with RB Leipzig among his many admirers.

The 18-year-old is reportedly open to moving abroad and taking on a new challenge, despite his growing list of suitors in the Premier League.

Tottenham Want Tyler Dibling Deal

As early as this transfer window

According to Mokbel, Tottenham see Dibling as another promising signing alongside Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel, who has emerged as a concrete target for Spurs in recent hours.

The French forward has no shortage of admirers in the Premier League – Tottenham may have to battle both Man United and Chelsea for his signature in the final days of the January transfer window.

Dibling, meanwhile, is unlikely to move in January, but a summer departure seems more realistic, especially if Southampton struggle to retain the 18-year-old in the event of relegation.

The English winger, labelled ‘exceptional’ by Karen Carney, has been a key player for the Saints this season and a bright spark in their disappointing Premier League campaign, scoring four goals and providing two assists in 24 appearances in all competitions.

He is currently out with an ankle injury and is expected to return in a few weeks, having limped off in the 3-1 defeat at Man United earlier this month.

Dibling still has more than two years left on his Southampton deal, which expires in June 2027, and it remains to be seen whether he would be keen to renew on improved terms, with multiple Premier League heavyweights now keen on his arrival.

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is leading the charge to complete the signing of Tyler Dibling and has set his sights on luring the Southampton star to Hotspur Way before the winter transfer window slams shut on Monday despite being aware it would take a hefty fee, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Spurs have already bolstered their options in the goalkeeping department this month, thanks to sealing the £12.5million acquisition of Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague, but boss Ange Postecoglou is desperate to be backed with further additions to the squad ahead of the fast-approaching deadline.

The north Londoners have fallen to within eight points of the Premier League's relegation zone and, despite toying with the idea of offering Mathys Tel a route out of Bayern Munich after having representatives in attendance for a Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava earlier this week, Dibling is on their radar.

Levy Driving Spurs' Bid to Win Race for Dibling

North Londoners making enquiries over recruiting teenager

Levy has been actively attempting to win the race for Dibling, according to GMS sources, and Tottenham have been handed a significant boost in their pursuit as the Southampton wide forward is keen to embark on a fresh challenge with the north Londoners after finding himself embroiled in a relegation battle.

Spurs are eager to land the teenager, who has entered the final two-and-a-half-years of a contract which allows him to pocket £5,000-per-week on the south coast, after deciding they need fresh creativity on the flanks if they want to get their season back on track and challenge for silverware.

In a significant twist, GMS sources have been informed that Tottenham have started making enquiries over whether it would be possible to agree a fee for Dibling before the transfer window slams shut instead of being forced to wait until the end of the campaign as Levy wants to get him on board immediately.

The 18-year-old has been described as 'exceptional' by pundit Karen Carney, leading to doubts over whether current employers Southampton would be prepared to sanction his departure when they are 11 points adrift of escaping the Premier League's drop zone and in danger of registered a record-low points tally in the division.

Saints have been making it clear that it would take an offer north of £50million for them to entertain the possibility of sanctioning Dibling's departure at this stage of the season, GMS sources have learned, but that has not stopped Tottenham in their tracks and they are still looking into how they can convince their domestic counterparts to cash in.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Tyler Dibling has boasted 81 per cent pass accuracy in the Premier League this season

Coming Days Pivotal in Dibling Winter Pursuit

Capital club prepared to wait until summer if swoop not possible

GMS sources have been told that Tottenham are viewing the next 48 hours as decisive in their bid to be made aware of what kind of agreement can be found for Dibling, but they are also prepared to wait until the summer before heading into negotiations if it becomes clear that they cannot thrash out a deal with Southampton before 11pm on Monday.

Spurs have been eager to secure more up-and-coming talent after also welcoming teenagers Lucas Bergvall, Wilson Odobert and Archie Gray to the capital in the summer - with the latter costing £30million when he moved from Leeds United - and the England under-21 international is firmly in their sights.

Tottenham are hoping to use Dibling's desire to join to their advantage, GMS sources understand, but they are facing competition from the likes of Newcastle United after he has caught the eye with his performances for a Southampton side in serious danger of suffering an immediate return to the Championship.

The former Chelsea man is not the only target Levy is looking to play a key role in signing before the deadline as GMS sources recently revealed the Spurs chairman has made recruiting Angel Gomes his personal mission as the Lille midfielder prepares to become a free agent in the summer.

Mathys Tel is becoming one of the most intriguing options on the market in the final days of the January transfer window, and Tottenham Hotspur are trying to win the race by making a quick proposal.

The 19-year-old Bayern Munich forward is looking to leave this month due to a lack of game time in Germany.

He has been touted to join Chelsea for much of January yet we understand he has reservations about such a move, which has opened the door to other Premier League clubs touching base about signing him.

Tottenham Aware of Tel's Availability

They are exploring a move for the Frenchman

Tottenham have already tried signing a forward in this transfer window, but were unsuccessful in their attempts to land Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain.

After lengthy talks and negotiations he opted for a move to Juventus instead, and the 26-year-old front man scored on his debut against Napoli.

Spurs did not have an obvious back-up option to turn to but became more in need of new strike power as it emerged Dominic Solanke faced an extended spell on the sidelines through injury.

Over the past few days they have become aware of Tel’s potential availability at Bayern and began to explore the possibility to sign him.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Mathys Tel has only played 458 minutes of football for Bayern Munich this season.

Their understanding of the situation is that Tel is very keen to ensure he finds a club where he can pick-up extended time on the pitch - but he still wants to be at a high level.

He has been aware of Chelsea’s interest but, partly because of their bloated squad and array of attacking options, has not been totally convinced it is the best landing spot.

As such he has been open-minded about a move elsewhere within the Premier League.

Spurs are looking into the prospect of a loan deal but we understand they have also tried to understand whether there is any possibility of a permanent deal.

They believe the "unbelievable" Tel is interested and have tried to accelerate plans over the past 24 hours because they are aware of other clubs showing interest.

Man United are Also Keen to Land the Forward

Tel is keen to work under Amorim at Old Trafford

One of those is Manchester United and our sources are indicating that the player himself is very keen on the prospect of a move to Old Trafford.

The status of the club combined with the fact they are in need of a player of his quality are key, while he is also believed to be keen on the idea of working with Ruben Amorim.

United are a little restricted on lodging their own proposal just yet, while they work on player exits - including the situation of Marcus Rashford.

There should be scope to make the move before the deadline and they are hopeful Tel might hold out on committing to a move to Spurs - or anywhere else - until they can put their own offer together.

It is a slight frustration to Spurs, but they do still believe they have a good chance of signing the player because of their vision for him in the team.

We are told the player has other interest from within Germany too but at this stage has been looking to understand more about the potential of a move to England.

As of now it seems his preference would be to make a move to United, but he needs to be sure they are serious about the move so he does not let other possibilities pass by.

Talks with clubs are now opening up with representatives as they attempt to find a solution.

Tottenham Hotspur have been exploring potential reinforcements for both attacking and defensive areas in January, but are yet to advance on any new signings, according to journalist David Ornstein.

The Lilywhites had hoped to bolster their injury-ridden squad with new players in the winter window but may now be facing a quiet end to the transfer period.

According to Ornstein, Spurs initially aimed to secure loan signings to boost Ange Postecoglou’s squad and also considered moving for their summer targets early, as they did with Antonin Kinsky.

The Czech shot-stopper signed a long-term deal in North London earlier this month and remains the only arrival in the January transfer window for Spurs so far.

Tottenham May Remain Quiet in January

Despite ongoing injury crisis

According to Ornstein, Tottenham's initial plans to boost Postecoglou’s squad with signings in January now seem unlikely to go ahead in the final days of the transfer window:

“Of course, they wanted, if possible, to bolster in attacking and defensive areas. They were initially looking for loans.

“Could they bring forward some summer activity, like they did with Kinsky, to do permanent, that's something they would have looked into.

“But again, I've got to be honest, and things do change, so forgive me if it does, but I don't know of anything right now.”

Spurs have been playing without much of their first-choice backline recently, with Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero all sidelined with injuries.

To make matters worse, their record signing Dominic Solanke has also suffered a knee injury in training, which ruled him out until March.

Tottenham are also expected to continue without Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner for a while longer, while Wilson Odobert’s return date remains unknown following his hamstring surgery in November.

The Lilywhites have endured a worrying run of results in the Premier League lately, winning just once in their last 11 games and slipping to 15th in the table, only eight points above the relegation zone.
