It has been more than 500 days since Kulusevski last played competitively at the end of the 2024-25 campaign after an innocuous challenge in a 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace resulted in a troublesome patella injury in the right knee of the Swedish attacker.

A lengthy absence affected by multiple setbacks has followed, but Kulusevski has returned to first-team training and will target a positive end to a difficult journey with a potential comeback for Spurs during October after the ongoing international break.

Compatriot Bergvall told Swedish media outlet Fotbollskanalen: “He is incredibly hungry and has done incredibly well. He is a real machine. We are all looking forward to having him back.

“I absolutely think so (soon). Then it’s difficult for me to judge how he feels and how the club sees it, but it’s clear that he’s doing incredibly well in training and is making strides every day.”

Asked what it would mean for Kulusevski to play for Sweden again after he visited Graham Potter’s national team in March before he missed this summer’s World Cup, Bergvall said: “An incredible amount.”

Romero has ended a five-year spell at Spurs to sign for Atletico Madrid in a 40 million euros deal (£34.1m) with a 15 per cent sell-on clause part of the overall package, the Press Association understands.

Argentina international Romero divided opinion during his time in N17 with multiple suspensions across 156 appearances, but he was awarded man of the match for a colossal display in the 2025 Europa League final against Manchester United, which ended Tottenham’s 17-year trophy drought.

“Today, I say goodbye to a place that, for five seasons, was much more than a club,” Romero said on Instagram.

He added: “It was my home, my challenge and the place where my family and I built such an important part of our lives.

“I leave with a heart full of memories and enormous pride for everything we lived and achieved together.

“When I arrived, I had a clear dream: to leave my name in this club’s history. I knew the only way was through hard work, sacrifice and achieving something that had seemed so difficult for so long: lifting a trophy again. And we did it.

“The journey wasn’t perfect, but I don’t want that to define my goodbye. I choose to remember the happy moments, the lessons, the people who stood

by me and, above all, the love I received during these five years.”

He added: “Thank you to everyone at the club who shared this journey with me.

“I know I wasn’t perfect, but one thing gives me peace: I always gave everything. I defended this shirt with pride and with all my heart.

“Thank you for everything. I’m leaving the club, but a part of my heart will always remain here. Once I was one of you. Today, I leave as one of you forever.

“With all my love and respect. Thank you for everything. And goodbye Spurs.”

Romero fired frequent thinly-veiled digs at the board over a perceived lack of ambition during an injury-hit 2024-25 campaign for Spurs.

A string of outstanding displays helped inspire the club to European success in Bilbao the following season.

He was critical of Spurs’ hierarchy several times before a knee injury in April curtailed last season for him, with the club in the Premier League relegation zone.

A final nail in the coffin for many supporters was Romero’s actions in the final week of the campaign after he was allowed to fly to Argentina to continue his rehabilitation.

It sparked a backlash from fans and even though Romero got a flight back to watch the win over Everton which secured survival, new boss Roberto De Zerbi gave the 28-year-old the green light to move on.

He is now finally set to work under compatriot Diego Simeone at Atletico after years of links to the LaLiga club.

The former England goalkeeper was signed by Ange Postecoglou in 2021 from Tottenham Hotspur, marking a turning point in his career.

At Celtic, Hart became a fan favourite, winning seven major honours, including three Scottish Premiership titles.

Speaking to BBC Sport, he said: "There's no shoulda-woulda-couldas with Celtic. That place just felt right. Everything about it.

"To get the opportunity to go first and foremost, when football was about to turn its back on me, was one of the best last lifelines that I ever was given."

Reflecting on the crossroads in his career, Hart noted how he was determined to prove himself at Celtic, despite being on the bench at Spurs.

He said, "I thought I had life left in me. I really did think I had life left in me, and I knew that it was a difficult place to go to prove myself, you know, because Celtic demands excellence.

"So, I had a lot to prove, and I knew that. And I knew this football club wasn't daft. And the way the relationship grew, I honestly couldn't have asked for more."

As he approached his retirement, the 37-year-old remained steadfast in his decision not to play for another club.

He said, "I had life left in me. I was 37. There's no doubt I was physically capable of carrying on, but I didn't want to play for anyone else after that amazing opportunity that I was given.

"To have that last home game and the Green Brigade's farewell that was given to me after half-time when I walked out, I swear, I never... I still feel it now.

"So, I think I've said it enough about what it means to me, so, forever grateful."

The Hoops have been monitoring the 21-year-old midfielder's progress since last season and are keen on securing his services.

Tottenham Hotspur are likely to allow Devine to leave permanently this summer.

The midfielder spent last season on loan at Preston North End, with a £6 million future fee as part of the initial loan agreement.

Preston were keen to activate this clause, but the July 1 deadline has now passed, putting the deal in doubt.

This has opened the door for Celtic to make a move, although it will still cost the Scottish Premiership champions £6 million.

There is, however, interest from other clubs.

Wolves, despite their relegation to the Championship last season, are also said to be interested in Devine.

However, Devine is unlikely to feature in Spurs' squad this season with the club having signed Mateus Fernandes from West Ham and Sandro Tonali close to a £100 million switch from Newcastle United.

Other players such as Lucas Bergvall and Rodrigo Bentancur are already ahead of Devine in the pecking order at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Martin O'Neill is said to be a fan of Devine.

With all these factors in mind, Roberto De Zerbi may be willing to part ways with Devine and cash in on the young midfielder.

The young attacker has performed admirably since he arrived on loan from Tottenham Hotspur with seven goals and three assists for the first-team under Russell Martin and then Danny Rohl.

Moore's consistency saw him awarded the club's Young Player of the Year as well as the PFA gong in the same category and it has had fans of the Ibrox outfit desperate to tie him down for a second stint.

Showings in derby day victories have also ensured his parent club Spurs sat up and took notice with former boss Thomas Frank keeping a close eye while current boss Roberto de Zerbi will likely also know about the 18-year-old.

De Zerbi, of course, has his own troubles to deal with right now in the form of a Premier League relegation scrap, but the media in England have done his research for him.

According to Football.London, Moore's most recent afternoon in Glasgow - despite a 3-1 loss to the Hoops - should be enough for the playmaker to potentially stake a claim for a spot in the Spurs first-team beyond this season.

Journalist Jake Stokes wrote in his latest column suggesting Moore for North London next term.

"Mikey Moore was at the heart of the action when Celtic stormed past Rangers in the Old Firm derby on Sunday afternoon," he wrote. "The Tottenham Hotspur loanee broke the deadlock inside the opening quarter of an hour, but, despite his best efforts, Danny Rohl's side couldn't hold onto the lead, conceding three without further reply.

"Moore will hope to lead Rangers back to winning ways on Wednesday evening, when they host Hibernian in the penultimate clash of the Scottish Premiership split phase.

"The Tottenham loanee has established himself as a key player in Rohl's side, staking a claim for a similar role under Roberto De Zerbi next season."

The South Korean international was signed by Celtic under Ange Postecoglou but struggled to make the starting XI, with Kyogo the preferred choice.

His opportunities were limited further after Brendan Rodgers took charge.

He was sold to Genk in 2024 and began to make more of a name for himself, scoring 22 goals across two campaigns.

This commendable form put Stuttgart of the Bundesliga on high alert, and they were reportedly set to dish out a hefty €28 million to secure his signature.

However, the deal fell through due to issues flagged during the medical.

In February of this year, the striker made a €14 million switch to Besiktas, where he has begun his career in Turkey with great success, scoring seven goals in ten games.

With his impressive performances, it's reported that he has now caught the eye of multiple clubs, including English Premier League giants Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, according to reports in Turkiye Gazetesi.

He only made the move to Besiktas a mere two years after being sold by Celtic for £4.5m.

The 32-year-old left-back is set to depart Anfield at the end of the season after nearly 400 appearances in a nine-year span.

Rumours surrounding a potential return to his childhood club, Celtic , were prevalent, but a recent update from transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano appears to end the speculation.

On his X account, Romano announced that the Scotsman and the currently relegation-threatened north London club have spoken about a transfer.

The update stated: "Tottenham have a verbal agreement to sign Andy Robertson in June 2026, all terms in place.

"Nothing signed/sealed yet, as staying in the Premier League will be a key factor ahead of proceeding.

"Robertson, ready to pick #THFC project if relegation battle has a positive outcome."

Spurs appointed Roberto De Zerbi as their manager last week, replacing interim manager Igor Tudor.

Their hopes of remaining in the Premier League suffered another setback on Friday night when Nuno Espirito Santo's West Ham United trounced Wolves 4-0, dropping Spurs into the relegation zone with just over a month of the season to go.

Back in Celtic, there's fierce competition for the first-team left-back spot between Kieran Tierney and Marcelo Saracci, who is on loan from Boca Juniors.

As per a report last month from Saracci's agent, the club is in negotiations with the 27-year-old Uruguayan regarding a permanent move to Scotland this summer.

The young winger, after an initial slow start, has been in impressive form recently and has emerged as a key performer for the Ibrox side.

His intensity and direct play, whether on the wings or in the No. 10 position, have contributed five goals and three assists, making him a constant challenge for opposing defenders.

Sherwood, a former player and manager at Spurs, believes Moore could be a valuable asset to the club as they languish at 16th in the Premier League table.

Spurs currently face a potential relegation crisis amid an injury crisis.

He told Footy Accumulators' No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, in partnership with BOYLE Sports: "They loaned him out because there's no pathway for him.

"I think it's a great pathway there (at Rangers) for him to gain some experience.

"No one (at Tottenham) fancied him at the moment, and they would probably argue and say, ‘We'll let him gain experience’.

"I would argue that he's better than what you've got, so bring him back and let him play games.

"Not only would he be better than some of the players that they've signed and are in the squad, but you're also having a shocking injury crisis."

Sherwood didn't just have Moore in mind as players who could contribute to the Spurs squad.

He also spoke about other loanees, saying: "Not only Mikey Moore, Luka Vuskovic should’ve been brought back from Hamburg in my opinion.

"He’s played pretty much every game and scored four goals, he’s a big centre-back.

"Phillips, the boy they signed from Blackburn, who’s on loan and plays every week at Stoke, he should’ve been brought back - and not just for no unnecessary reason, but to play."

Sherwood acknowledged the potential relegation battle facing Spurs but believes taking a gamble on these young players could prove beneficial, adding: "Some might say, ‘But you’re in a relegation battle’ - yes, they are, and that’s with the group they’ve got playing at the moment.

"Give these guys an opportunity.

"Not only Mikey, and I’m not saying they’re going to be the answer, but they might be."

The promising forward scored 15 goals for Celtic's under-16 team in the 2024/25 season.

Glancy, who joined Celtic at the age of six, is adept at playing off the right wing and in central areas.

He will start at Spurs as a first-year scholar in the under-18 squad.

Several Celtic youngsters, including Ben Doak, Aidan Borland, and Rocco Vata, have moved south of the border in recent years.

Meanwhile, two of Celtic's academy graduates, Dane Murray and Colby Donovan, played in the club's Champions League playoff defeat to Kairat Almaty on Tuesday.

Murray came on in the 75th minute, replacing Kieran Tierney, while Donovan substituted for Anthony Ralston in extra time.

Both players performed well, but Celtic were ultimately knocked out of the competition on penalties.

Manager Brendan Rodgers said: "It's hugely disappointing, and I really feel for the supporters that travelled all the way to be here, the effort and the commitment that they've shown to be here.

"We're bitterly disappointed for them as well as ourselves because the Champions League is a wonderful competition and we've seen that last year, we've seen the progress.

"But yeah, we would just have to, as we always do, we have to stick together as a squad and as a team and reflect on this, and we've got a huge game at the weekend.

"So yeah, it's a tough one to take.

"We didn't do enough over the two games."

The teenager is set to leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on loan this summer.

And Daily Telegraph reporter, Matt Law, claims that Ibrox is his likely destination.

He wrote on X: "Rangers have emerged as favourites to sign Mikey Moore on loan from Tottenham.

"There's been a lot of interest, particularly from the Championship, but Rangers seen as most likely destination."

Moore emerged in the Spurs first team last season under the tutelage of Ange Postecoglou.

New boss Thomas Frank is keen for the young striker to continue his development with regular game time.

Moore has made 21 senior appearances for the North London club, scoring once, and providing two assists.

Russell Martin last week insisted that he was confident his Rangers squad would have a fresh look to it by the end of August.

So, it seems Moore will be one of the latest names to join in his Ibrox rebuild ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
