Tottenham close in on £65m deal for Man City winger Savinho as summer spending spree continues - Goal.com
Description

Tottenham are set to finalise the signing of Savinho from City in a deal worth £65 million, as per Daily Mail. Spurs have tracked the Brazil international since last summer, but a move did not materialise before. The 22-year-old now appears destined to join the north London club.

The transfer is part of an ambitious squad strengthening under De Zerbi, with Tottenham have already spent more than £200 million this summer and are reportedly still in a position to invest further before the transfer window closes.

Savinho endured a difficult time at City, scoring just one Premier League goal in 24 appearances last season. Despite that, Spurs believe he can play a key role in De Zerbi's plans.

The winger also fuelled speculation over his future by posting an Instagram story featuring a suitcase alongside a message saying he was "off to have some fun". The post prompted supporters to speculate that he was preparing to leave Manchester.

City are reportedly exploring replacements, with Paris Saint-Germain youngster Ibrahim Mbaye among the players on their shortlist. Tottenham have also been linked with the 18-year-old, along with Aston Villa and RB Leipzig.

Savinho’s expected arrival forms part of De Zerbi’s wider squad-strengthening after a disappointing 17th-place finish last term. The Italian manager wants to add quality and depth out wide as he reshapes his frontline. De Zerbi has also held talks with Mathys Tel over his future. As reported by Football London, he assured the 21-year-old that he remains a key part of Tottenham’s plans for the 2026-27 season, even as the club looks to bring in extra attacking options.

Savinho may not be Tottenham's final attacking signing of the summer. The report states that De Zerbi is still targeting at least two more forward players to increase competition and provide greater tactical flexibility.

If Savinho's transfer is completed, Tottenham's spending this summer could exceed £300 million, having already brought in the likes of Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and Jan Paul van Hecke.

North London heist! Arsenal agree deal to sign Tottenham sensation Elijah Upson on a free transfer

North London heist! Arsenal agree deal to sign Tottenham sensation Elijah Upson on a free transfer - Goal.com
Description

Arsenal have reached an agreement to sign Tottenham centre-back Upson on a free transfer after the 18-year-old opted against extending his contract in north London, according to Fabrizio Romano. The defender is set to join Mikel Arteta's project on a long-term deal, with a formal announcement still to come.

Upson becomes Arsenal's latest addition during a busy summer transfer window. The Gunners have already signed goalkeeper Illan Meslier and agreed a deal for Christos Tzolis, while Leandro Trossard has departed for Besiktas.

Romano confirmed that the deal had been completed after Arsenal secured the teenager's signature. Upson will join the club after turning down Tottenham's contract offer in favour of a move across north London.

He wrote on X: "Elijah Upson to Arsenal, here we go! Agreement signed today for 18 year old centre back to join Gunners project. Upson turned down new contract at Spurs to join Arsenal for long term, all set to be announced."

Despite being highly rated in Tottenham's academy, Upson's route to the first team had become increasingly difficult. Spurs strengthened their defence with the arrivals of Marcos Senesi and Jan Paul van Hecke, leaving the youngster behind established options including Micky van de Ven, Kevin Danso and Cristian Romero.

Although Romero has been linked with Inter and Barcelona, Upson chose to continue his development elsewhere. Arsenal's record of promoting young talent under Arteta is believed to have been a key attraction, with players such as Bukayo Saka, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ethan Nwaneri, Max Dowman and Marli Salmon all progressing into the senior set-up.

The transfer is expected to be announced once the remaining formalities are completed. Upson will then begin the next stage of his development at Arsenal, where he will look to establish himself within the club's long-term plans while the Gunners continue their summer recruitment.

Inter consider matching Tottenham's £30m Djed Spence demand as Serie A giants settle on England full-back

Inter consider matching Tottenham's £30m Djed Spence demand as Serie A giants settle on England full-back - Goal.com
Description

Inter have identified Spence as their priority target to strengthen the wing-back position following his performances at the World Cup, as per Gazzetta. The England international caught the club's attention with his recovery pace and defensive work, reinforcing the belief that he suits the high-intensity style Inter want to play.

However, his tournament has also created concern inside the club. Inter fear Spence's growing profile could increase his transfer value and attract rival interest, prompting club president Beppe Marotta and sporting director Piero Ausilio to accelerate their plans.

According to the same reports, the Serie A side are now prepared to raise their offer after previously setting aside around £21 million plus bonuses for another target. Tottenham are expected to demand between £30m and £35m for the 25-year-old, with Inter willing to increase their investment.

The pursuit of Spence has the full backing of Chivu, who is reportedly enamoured by the defender's versatility. Before travelling to Germany recently, the Romanian coach held a meeting with club directors to reiterate his desire for the signing. Chivu views Spence as a player capable of featuring on both the right and left flanks, providing tactical flexibility that the current squad lacks.

Operating within the financial guidelines set by owners Oaktree, the Inter board is ready to take the "foot off the brake" regarding the transfer fee. While it is not yet an advanced negotiation, the shift in Inter's financial stance suggests they are serious about making Spence a core part of their project for the upcoming season.

Increasing the level of investment in this position is a clear signal of ambition from the Nerazzurri. After Denzel Dumfries secured a high-profile move to Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid, Inter have struggled to find a consistent replacement. Plans to sign Marco Palestra did not materialise as hoped, and a backup move for Anan Khalaili was tragically derailed following a medical examination that revealed a heart issue, changing the trajectory of the Israeli international's career.

Although alternatives remain under consideration, Spence is currently at the top of the shortlist. Nahuel Molina, Monaco's Vanderson and Strasbourg's Guela Doue are all being monitored should negotiations with Tottenham prove unsuccessful.

Tottenham reject Nottingham Forest bid for top candidate to replace Elliot Anderson

Tottenham reject Nottingham Forest bid for top candidate to replace Elliot Anderson - Goal.com
Description

Tottenham have held firm against Nottingham Forest’s first attempt to lure Bergvall away from north London this summer, according to The Athletic. Despite the initial rejection, Forest remain undeterred and are expected to return with a fresh proposal for the 20-year-old, who has emerged as their primary target in the current transfer window.

The interest comes as Forest look to reinvest the staggering £116million fee for Elliot Anderson’s move to Manchester City. Bergvall is viewed as the ideal replacement for England international, though Spurs are currently unwilling to sanction a deal unless their specific valuation is met for the Swedish midfielder.

Bergvall only arrived at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2024 from Djurgarden for a fee of £8.5m, but his impact was immediate. He capped off a fine debut campaign by winning the club's Player of the Year award and helping them secure the 2025 Europa League title, ending a 17-year trophy drought for the club. However, his standing in the squad has fluctuated since Roberto De Zerbi took over as head coach in March, leading to just one start under the Italian.

The midfielder is under contract until 2031, but he has already informed the Tottenham hierarchy of his desire to move on in search of a new challenge. His availability has piqued interest from across Europe, but Forest have been the first to make a concrete move to test Spurs' resolve.

The north London side have been extremely active in the market, which may explain why Bergvall feels pushed toward the exit. Spurs have spent big this summer, splashing £85m on Mateus Fernandes from West Ham and a further £100m on former Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali. This influx of talent has intensified competition for places in De Zerbi’s engine room.

Meanwhile, other high-profile names could follow Bergvall out of the door. Brazilian forward Richarlison has emerged as a serious target for Juventus as the Italian giants look to revamp their attack. With several clubs interested in their fringe players, Spurs face a busy end to the window as they balance recruitment with departures.

While the chase for Bergvall continues, newly-appointed Forest boss Oliver Glasner has already successfully bolstered his midfield ranks through other avenues. The club has managed to secure a deal for Austrian international Xaver Schlager on a free transfer from RB Leipzig, reuniting him with his former Wolfsburg manager. This addition provides much-needed experience to the City Ground. However, even with Schlager on board, Forest see Bergvall as a long-term investment that would complete Glasner's midfield overhaul ahead of the new Premier League campaign.

Juventus target another Tottenham star as talks begin over potential €25m Richarlison deal

Juventus target another Tottenham star as talks begin over potential €25m Richarlison deal - Goal.com
Description

The relationship between Juventus CEO Giovanni Carnevali and Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi is proving to be a catalyst for major transfer movement. The pair, who previously worked together at Sassuolo, have been in frequent contact recently. While initial discussions centered on other targets, Richarlison’s name has now cropped up as a genuine possibility for the Italian giants, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Richarlison is entering the final year of his contract, which is currently set to expire in June 2027. With no indication that a renewal is on the horizon at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Spurs are reportedly open to a sale before the August deadline. A fee in the region of €20m to €25m could be enough to see the former Everton man swap London for Turin.

Despite the interest in Richarlison, who netted 12 goals last season, he is currently viewed as a high-quality 'Plan B' by the Juve hierarchy. The primary focus for the Old Lady remains Randal Kolo Muani. The former Juventus and Spurs man is the top choice to lead the line, but negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain have proved difficult as the French champions hold out for a significant fee.

Carnevali has offered approximately €40m for Kolo Muani, but PSG are currently demanding €10m more to sanction a return to Italy. Should those talks collapse, Richarlison is at the top of a secondary shortlist that also includes Atletico Madrid’s Alexander Sorloth and Monaco & USMNT striker Folarin Balogun. The Brazilian's versatility across the front line makes him an attractive profile for De Zerbi’s counterparts in Italy.

The discussions between Carnevali and De Zerbi also heavily featured Guglielmo Vicario. The Italian goalkeeper is facing an uncertain future in London following the arrival of Martin Dubravka at Tottenham, and Juventus are keen to bring him back to Serie A. Vicario is seen as the leading domestic candidate to take over the gloves in Turin next season.

However, he is not the only high-profile goalkeeper on the radar. Juventus remain heavily linked with reigning world champions Emiliano Martinez, though Aston Villa have proved to be tough negotiators. Reports suggest that the goalkeeper looks to force a move to Italy after the Birmingham club publicly insisted he is staying put. Villa have reportedly set a €12m price tag on the Argentine, but Juve’s current offer of around €6.5m remains far apart from that valuation.

Juventus are clearly looking to capitalise on unsettled stars in the Premier League to bolster their squad. The pursuit of Richarlison signifies a desire for proven international experience at a cut-price fee. At 29 years old, the forward represents a different profile to their younger targets, but his work rate and tenacity are viewed as ideal traits for the Italian top flight.

While the Kolo Muani situation remains the priority for now, the coming days will be crucial in determining which direction the Bianconeri take. Whether it is a return for the Frenchman or a cut-price swoop for Tottenham’s Brazilian star, Juventus are determined to provide their fans with an attacking signing before the window shuts.
