Tottenham and Everton are in advanced talks over transfers for Iliman Ndiaye and Richarlison.

A potential fee of £60m for Ndiaye - who has rejected multiple new contract offers from Everton - is being discussed, with conversations over personal terms around a switch to north London also ongoing.

Ndiaye, who has scored 17 goals in 74 appearances since joining Everton from Marseille two seasons ago, has also been of interest to Manchester City, but Cody Gakpo - whom Spurs had also targeted - now looks most likely to move to the Etihad.

Everton want to re-sign Spurs striker Richarlison, with a fee of £35m being discussed.

Folarin Balogun is another forward option Everton are considering, but, as things stand, their full focus is on their former player.

Richarlison left Merseyside in 2022, joining Antonio Conte's Spurs side in a £60m deal, but has had a frustrating time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi admitted on Saturday that Richarlison - who scored 53 goals in 152 games for Everton - was one of three players who has asked to leave before the deadline.The other two are Kevin Danso and Pape Matar Sarr.

De Zerbi revealed Richarlison, who is in the final year of his contract, was left out of Saturday's squad for the 2-0 home defeat to Newcastle because he had asked to leave "too many times".

"Richarlison, I don't know. He said too many times he wants to leave," De Zerbi said.

De Zerbi also wants to sign a new forward before the deadline. Chelsea's Pedro Neto has also been on their radar but it looks like they are moving for Ndiaye.

Spurs have spent more than £300m already in this summer's transfer window. Omar Marmoush was the most recent arrival on a loan with an obligation to buy, joining former Manchester City team-mate Savio at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after the Brazilian signed in an £85m deal.

Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and Jan Paul van Hecke arrived earlier this summer for combined fees of £237m. Spurs also added Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi on free transfers.

Everton continue Grealish talks with Man City

Everton are continuing talks with Manchester City over another deal for Jack Grealish.

The structure of the deal remains quite fluid at this stage, Sky Sports News understands, with Grealish in the final year of his City contract.

Grealish was absent as City beat Crystal Palace 4-1 at Selhurst Park on Friday night.

Sky Sports News reported earlier this month that Sunderland were exploring a potential move for the forward who spent last season on loan at Everton.

Asked about Grealish's absence, Maresca said: "I had a chat with Jack [Thursday]. Again, we'll see what happens in the next 48 to 72 hours. We'll see."

Forest move for Armstrong breaks down after fans make feelings clear

Nottingham Forest's proposed move for Harrison Armstrong from Everton has broken down.

After receiving an approach from Forest, who were willing to pay £40m for the 19-year-old midfielder, Sky Sports News understands the board is unanimous in its decision to not sell the player.

Speaking after Saturday's 1-1 draw at Bournemouth, Everton manager David Moyes said it would be a "club decision" whether Armstrong would be sold.

Asked if the bid for Armstrong should be accepted, Moyes said: "It's not really a question for just now. It will be a club decision."

Academy graduate Armstrong started on the south coast to make his 24th Everton appearance.

Travelling fans made clear their feelings on the future of the England U19 international, repeatedly chanting that a sale would leave the club with "a riot" on their hands.

"You always have to consider supporters; supporters aren't always wrong," said Moyes.

"Managers have to make decisions on players sometimes and they feels like huge decisions. But there's sometimes bigger decisions to be made and the club will, I'm sure, make what they think is the right one.

"If I'd say something to them [the fans], I'd say their manager's an Evertonian."

Everton want to sign their former striker Richarlison and are believed to be willing to make him an attractive offer. Richarlison left Merseyside in 2022, joining Antonio Conte's Spurs side in a £60m deal, but has had a frustrating time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Folarin Balogun is another forward option Everton are considering, however, as things stand, their full focus is on Richarlison.

The fee would have to be right for Everton to sell Ndiaye, but he has rejected multiple new contract offers from the club.

Former Sheffield United winger Ndiaye has scored 17 goals in 74 appearances since joining Everton from Marseille two seasons ago.

He has also been on Manchester City's target list for a new forward.

Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi admitted on Saturday that Richarlison is one of three players who has asked to leave before the deadline.

"You always have to consider supporters; supporters aren't always wrong," said Moyes.

"But then there's also times where I've had people at clubs who are really powerful and make difficult decisions.

"I'd bring into that Bryan Gray, who was at Preston North End, and Sir Philip Carter, who was at Everton when I first came in. Not always decisions are popular, and sometimes they have to do it for different reasons.

"Managers have to make decisions on players sometimes and they feels like huge decisions. But there's sometimes bigger decisions to be made and the club will, I'm sure, make what they think is the right one.

"If I'd say something to them [the fans], I'd say their manager's an Evertonian."

Man City open Liverpool talks for Gakpo

Manchester City have opened talks with Liverpool to sign Gakpo.

Liverpool will be considering their situation given contact has come late in the window.

One source told Sky Sports News a potential move for the winger has advanced in Manchester City's direction amid the interest of Tottenham.

Discussions are also under way over personal terms for the Netherlands international.

Tottenham have lost their first two Premier League matches and failed to score in both as rejuvenated duo Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa struck to earn Newcastle a 2-0 victory.

Spurs' big-spending summer, in which they have splashed £320m on eight new players, is yet to have an impact on Roberto De Zerbi's side, who were booed off a week on from being thrashed 3-0 at Brentford and lacked a cutting edge in their first home league game despite handing a debut to forward Omar Marmoush.

De Zerbi's other key signing, £75m winger Savio, has already been dealt an injury blow, missing out with "muscle fatigue", while midfielder Sandro Tonali, who left Newcastle in a £100m move, was mocked by his former supporters as they collected their first league win under Matthias Jaissle.

Tottenham were the better side in the first half, with Newcastle goalkeeper Lucas Hornicek making saves from Mathys Tel and Jan Paul van Hecke, but Elanga, who struggled last season but shone last weekend with a goal against Liverpool, swivelled in the area and sent a shot off the post midway through the second half to put Newcastle ahead.

De Zerbi reacted with three substitutes, yet Spurs never looked likely to find an equaliser, and Wissa, another who disappointed under previous boss Eddie Howe, compounded their misery. Newcastle sub Nick Woltemade headed a corner into the six-yard box and Wissa, with his back to goal, hooked the ball over his head into the net.

The key moments from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Full-time: SPURS BOOED OFF! Plenty of home fans have already left, but some of the ones that have stayed deliver their verdict at the whistle.

De Zerbi: We are not a team yet - forget the result

Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi speaking to Sky Sports:

"For 60-65 minutes we played better than Newcastle. We had a chance to score but we didn't. After they scored, we lost distances.

"We had more chances and shot more on goal. We are not a team yet. We have to improve a few things.

"Forget the result, but I'm not angry. We are working well. We were unlucky today, especially with the result."

Redknapp: Spurs lacked leaders - they must do better

Jamie Redknapp on Saturday Night Football:

"There's a lot of new players at Spurs and it's going to take time. The manager has got a jigsaw puzzle and he's got to figure out how to fit the players in, what system to use, who the best three players are in midfield.

"There are going to be teething problems.

"I also look at the senior players and players like Van de Ven didn't do enough to lead today and certainly with the goals.

"Players who have been there for a long time can do better."

Jaissle proud of 'incredible' performance

Newcastle boss Matthias Jaissle speaking to Sky Sports:

"It was incredible and I'm really proud. We are really proud as a club, as a coaching staff to see a team on the pitch delivering the match plan at a high level already, but also seeing players fully committed to what we're doing.

"This is a good start and a moment to enjoy."

Elanga and Wissa thriving under new boss Jaissle

Sky Sports' David Richardson at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium:

"In Elanga and Wissa, it's like two new players!" said Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher. The pair are showing their quality at last.

"Newcastle head coach Matthias Jaissle is doing what Eddie Howe couldn't with the duo that were signed for £110m last summer. He also handed midfielder Nico Gonzalez a debut and it was his pass that led to Elanga's opener.

"For all the talk of a season of struggle under their new boss after another difficult transfer window, their supporters left the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium singing about Europe.

"Their chants may have been tongue in cheek, but they will be buoyed by Jaissle's fresh approach, with a side playing with the freedom and togetherness to challenge for European places."`

Roberto De Zerbi believes changing the mentality at Tottenham is his biggest challenge after Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher said their start to the season "couldn't have gone any worse" following defeat to Newcastle.

Tottenham have lost their first two Premier League games without scoring a goal and sit at the bottom of the league despite spending £320m in the transfer market this summer.

De Zerbi's side had been better than Newcastle until Anthony Elanga struck the opener midway through the second half, with Spurs unable to respond and conceding another when Yoane Wissa hooked in from close range.

Asked whether mentality was the biggest issue he faces, De Zerbi said: "You are right, yes. It's the biggest problem, it's the biggest challenge, the biggest target is to find the right mentality.

"Unfortunately you can't buy the mentality in the transfer market. Football is like magic: you can change many players in one window of the transfer market, and you can find the balance immediately, or you need more time. I would like to achieve this target quickly, as soon as possible, because it's crucial to play football.

"But the plan, the project of the club, what we are doing to rebuild a new team with new players, is a great plan, is a great project, and I have no doubt about the result of this project."

De Zerbi reinforced his belief that this season would be different to Spurs' previous two, which have seen them finish 17th in the past two seasons.

He said: "I'm disappointed with the result, and I'm sorry for the fans, for the environment, because after two defeats, maybe somebody can think it's the same story, the same as the last two seasons. I have no doubt it's not like this. I can't change my opinion for two defeats.

"I have big, big confidence in the qualities of my players. At the end, when we become a team, when we improve the connection between the players, when we improve the quality of the play, when we improve the defensive space, this group, with me or with another coach, nothing changes, because they are two good players.

"I'm sorry for the club, because they are building a great squad, but maybe now we are not ready yet, for many, many reasons."

'Tottenham will go into market again'

Sky Sports' Carragher said on co-commentary at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium that he reckons Spurs will sign another player after their poor start.

"Tottenham's start to the season couldn't have gone any worse," he said. "But it's going to take time at Tottenham. A lot of new players have come in; they've paid top dollar, but they're quality players, certainly in the midfield area, like [Mateus] Fernandes and [Sandro] Tonali.

"We saw signs today in terms of [Jan Paul] Van Hecke on the ball, but it won't be finished. I think there will be more to come.

"It's natural that people will panic a little and Tottenham will go into the market again, there's no doubt about it.

"Not just because they've lost twice, but it makes you more decisive. If you've won both games and a couple of games and some of the players looked alright, you'd look at a couple of deals and think 'maybe we're OK, maybe we give those players until Christmas'.

"That certainly won't be the case on the back of two really bad defeats."

'Spurs project will take time'

Sky Sports' Jamie Redknapp called for patience on Saturday Night Football.

"There's a lot of new players at Spurs and it's going to take time," he said. "The manager has got a jigsaw puzzle and he's got to figure out how to fit the players in, what system to use, who the best three players are in midfield.

"There are going to be teething problems. I also look at the senior players and players like [Micky] Van de Ven didn't do enough to lead today and certainly with the goals.

"Players who have been there for a long time can do better."
