Description

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keeping tabs on highly-talented 19-year-old Turkish international Can Uzun from Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt.

According to a report from Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Tottenham Hotspur sent scouts to watch 19-year-old Eintracht Frankfurt attacker Can Uzun in action against Liverpool during the midweek UEFA Champions League. The teenage attacker is highly rated across Europe, and he could be available for a fee of less than €50 million.

Uzun is capable of operating centrally as well as in the wide areas. He will add goals and creativity to the Tottenham attack. It is no secret that they need more quality and depth in the attacking unit. Recent reports have linked the North London club with several versatile attackers, including Iliman Ndiaye.

Meanwhile, signing Can Uzun would be a wise decision for them. The 19-year-old attacker is a tremendous talent with a bright future, and he could develop into a future asset for the North London club.

Even though Spurs have signed players like Xavi Simons, they need more cutting edge in the final third. They need to bring in another striker and a wide player. The opportunity to join the North London club will be quite exciting for Uzun. It would be a major step up in his career, and he will look to prove himself in the Premier League.

Uzun could benefit from Spurs move

Tottenham could do well to nurture Can Uzun into a first-team star. Thomas Frank has done well to groom quality attackers at Brentford, and he could play a key role in developing Uzun at Tottenham as well.

Moving to the North London club would be a major step up for the 19-year-old, and it will allow him to play alongside top-class players. Working with players like James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Xavi Simons could help the young attacker improve further and fulfil his potential.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham follow up on their interest with an official proposal to get the deal done. They might have to pay a premium to convince Eintracht Frankfurt to sell the player. The Bundesliga club will not want to lose a prodigious young talent like him easily.

The teenager has all the attributes to develop into a future star for them. Uzun has already shown his qualities in the Bundesliga, and he will only improve further with coaching and experience. Tottenham would do well to secure his signature, and he would be a sensational long-term investment for the North London club.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing 21-year-old Argentine defender Lautaro Rivero from River Plate.

Lautaro Rivero is highly rated in South America, and he has a bright future ahead of himself. He could develop into a quality player for Tottenham if they further their interest and manage to get the deal done.

According to a report from El Intransigente, Spurs will face competition from Manchester City for the 21-year-old Argentine defender. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can beat them to his signature. It is fair to assume that Manchester City have more financial resources, and they could be a more attractive destination for the player.

The South American defender will want to compete at the highest level and fight for trophies regularly. Manchester City might be better placed to provide him with that platform. They have a world-class squad and an elite manager. The Citizens have tremendous resources, and they will be able to put together a formidable squad for the future.

On the other hand, Tottenham have an exciting project with a quality manager. They have brought in some talented players this summer and they are doing well in the Premier League. It remains to be seen whether the 21-year-old is open to joining them.

Rivero should join Manchester City

Lautaro Rivero should look to choose his next destination based on the opportunities he will receive. He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and Tottenham might not be the ideal destination for him. Thomas Frank has Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Radu Dragusin, and Kevin Danso at his disposal, and Luka Vuskovic will come back to the club after his loan spell as well.

On the other hand, Manchester City have ageing defenders, and they will need to replace players like John Stones. It would be ideal for the 21-year-old South American defender to join Manchester City. It remains to be seen which of the two clubs can get the deal done. River Plate will not want to lose the young prospect easily, and they could demand a premium for him.

Richarlison remains focused on his task at Tottenham despite some exit talks rumbling in the media, with the club eager to keep him in January.

According to Football Insider, Richarlison is leaning towards staying at Tottenham ahead of the winter transfer window. The North London outfit are also unlikely to make drastic changes to their frontline, which might suggest they could be open to keeping the Brazilian international.

The January window ahead of a World Cup year is always tricky for clubs eager to strengthen their respective squads. For starters, players would look to leave only if they are guaranteed minutes, especially those who are in with a chance of making their respective national team squads for the summer.

Richarlison is on a similar boat with regards to his chances with the Brazilian national side for the World Cup. The attacker, who arrived at Spurs in a £60 million deal back in the summer of 2022, has been more of a miss here than a hit.

However, the South American attacker has been able to establish himself consistently this season under new boss Thomas Frank, and he has somewhat benefitted from the continued absence of Dominic Solanke, as the Danish boss has preferred to use the resurgent £60 million star in his frontline.

However, there were rumours recently that Spurs were ready to sell him for financial reasons, although those stories have been unsubstantiated so far. Back in the summer, he was linked with a move away, but chose to stay at Tottenham, which has worked out for him so far.

Richarlison to stay amid MLS links

Richarlison is leaning towards staying at Tottenham despite recent links to MLS. There is plenty of interest coming from the other side of the Atlantic, with LAFC and Orlando City among those keen on the striker. However, with a World Cup place up for grabs, Richarlison will prefer to continue here; Spurs are also leaning towards keeping him due to the complexities of signing a new striker.

Tottenham are reportedly ahead in the race for Dusan Vlahovic, with the Serbian striker also attracting interest from the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United.

According to Football Insider, Dusan Vlahovic could be headed to the Premier League next summer when his Juventus contract expires. Tottenhama re considered the frontrunner at this moment for the Serbian, although there is also interest from the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea.

Dusan Vlahovic stayed put at Juventus for a variety of reasons despite entering the final year of his deal. Sufficient clubs were showing an interest in signing him during the window, but factors like his high wages proved pivotal in his staying in Turin.

However, ahead of next summer, when he will be a free agent, there are more teams keen to sign him. Vlahovic has reportedly instructed his representatives to explore moves to Chelsea or Tottenham. It is the latter who are reportedly leading the race, as they are seemingly offering attractive projects under their new management.

Spurs were notoriously known to pay one of the lowest wages of any big-six team,s, but that philosophy could change with a change of personnel in the board room. Hence, they are open to targeting players like Vlahovic as they enter a new era, which could see Spurs leapfrog the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in the race for the Serie A goal machine.

Vlahovic could consider a move to Spurs, especially if they make it to the Champions League next season. His availability on a free transfer also offers him the chance to choose the right project for his career, which could allow the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United to make their offers.

Dusan Vlahovic to the Premier League?

Manchester United are also interested in the Serbian striker, as they might continue to search the market for a Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee replacement. Hence, they are in the mix, especially because the striker is available on a free transfer.

Nicolas Raskin could be tempted by the potential interest from Tottenham ahead of the January window, as his situation could make a sale possible.

According to Football Insider, Nicolas Raskin could be open to the idea of joining Tottenham if their interest persists around the January window. His situation at Rangers makes a transfer all the more possible, with a deal there running until 2027.

Nicolas Raskin was the subject of transfer speculation during the summer, as Rangers were expecting some formal approaches for the 24-year-old Belgian midfielder around the end of the window. However, none of those arrived, as the midfielder continued his association with the Scottish giants.

With the troubled Scottish side choosing to sack the manager, who did not prefer to start Raskin too much, the 24-year-old Belgian midfielder has since found his feet in the side. While reports were stating that the middle-aged would be content with staying until next summer, the growing interest could lead to a change of heart.

Earlier in the summer, reports suggested he may have rejected an approach from Leeds United, although there’s nothing much to verify the claim. Crystal Palace are also considered a suitor, as the Londoners view him as one of the future options to replace star midfielder Adam Wharton.

However, it is the interest from another London club that is making the headlines at the moment, as Tottenham have entered the chase for Raskin. The Belgian midfielder could consider making the move to north London if the interest persists moving forward.

Nicolas Raskin fancies a move to Tottenham

Raskin could fancy a move to Tottenham if the north Londoners come in with an approach ahead of the January window. For now, there’s definite interest in the 24-year-old Belgian midfielder from Spurs; it remains to be seen whether they make their admiration formal with Rangers, who could be tempted to sell, considering the 24-year-old Belgian midfielder’s deal ends in the summer of 2027.

Tottenham are not particularly looking at Raskin as a top draw option, but the club are constantly scanning the market for ideas to improve their squad. The 24-year-old Belgian midfielder could be someone to thrive under Thomas Frank, but it remains to be seen whether a January move materialises.

Tottenham have no intentions of negotiating the departure of Luka Vuskovic, amidst interest from Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig.

Luka Vuskovic’s impressive loan spell at Hamburger has put him on the radar of clubs like Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig. The German giants are keen on acquiring his services, but according to a report from TBR, Tottenham are not willing to negotiate his departure.

On the back of his sensational rise at Hajduk Split, Vuskovic joined Spurs last summer. Since Thomas Frank wasn’t certain about handing the 18-year-old defender enough game time, the North London club ended up sending him out on loan to Hamburger.

The teenager has had quite an impact at the German club. Not only has he established himself as one of their mainstays, but he has also been their standout performer, helping them secure some important results.

The Croatian centre-back’s performances have resulted in interest from German clubs. Spurs are quite pleased with his progress, but they could face a battle to keep him at the club, as Dortmund and Leipzig are keen on signing him on a permanent basis.

Spurs won’t sell Vuskovic

Both clubs are ready to hand him an important role in their first team in hopes of luring him away. While there is no clarity on what the player wants, Spurs have certainly made their stance quite clear. The North London club are firmly against the idea of negotiating his departure.

They consider him an important part of their long-term plans and are unwilling to negotiate with any club. Given his performances for the German side, Tottenham are already considering integrating him into their first team upon his return next summer.

While Spurs already have Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven as their preferred choices at the back, Vuskovic could certainly be an ideal cover for the duo. The 18-year-old is quite happy at Hamburger, but if reports are to be believed, the North London club could look to recall him in January to add more quality to their backline.

With Romero and Van de Ven expected to remain at the club for years to come, it will be interesting to see if the teenager is willing to play a backup role at Tottenham or if he eventually pushes for a move away.

Tottenham Hotspur are ready to fork out a big fee to bring Harry Kane back to the club, amidst interest from rivals Manchester United.

While Harry Kane seems to be loving life at Bayern Munich, the English international has been constantly linked with a move back to the Premier League. Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are two clubs that are interested in having him in their squad.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, the North London club are ready to break the bank to bring him back. Despite being quite content at the Bundesliga club, Kane seems eager to return to the Premier League to chase Alan Shearer’s all-time scoring record of 260 goals.

The 32-year-old has 213 goals in the English top flight, and a few productive seasons here could help him get past Shearer’s tally. Kane left Spurs in the summer of 2023 to join Bayern Munich in search of his first major silverware.

Since moving to Germany, the England skipper has been scoring goals for fun. He has been the league’s top scorer over the last two seasons and finally clinched the league title last time out. Kane has had an exceptional start to the new season with 18 goals and three assists in just 10 outings.

Kane to return to the Premier League?

While Harry Kane is on the wrong side of 30, the former Tottenham striker has a lot of football left in him, and clubs in England are keen on bringing him back. Spurs are frontrunners for his signature. Despite having spent a fortune on Dominic Solanke, they haven’t been able to replace Kane yet.

As a result, the club have now decided to go all out to bring him back. Their owners, ENIC, are ready to break the bank to re-sign him. Not only are they serious about triggering his release clause, Spurs are also ready to match his substantial wages.

It is seen as a statement of intent from the club as they look to boost the club’s ambitions under Thomas Frank. The new manager has already done a great job, and signing someone like Kane could make them serious contenders for major silverware.

Manchester United are also keen on his signature, but a lot depends on where they finish this season. With European football, they will struggle to convince Kane, who seems to be prioritising regular silverware.

Tottenham are set to compete with Crystal Palace and Everton for the signature of Lazio defensive mainstay Mario Gila.

Mario Gila’s future has become a big talking point as we slowly close in towards the winter transfer window. The Spanish centre-back could be on the move to the Premier League, as a host of top clubs are after his signature.

According to a report from Caughtoffside, Tottenham, Crystal Palace, and Everton are all interested in the 25-year-old centre-back’s services. The North London club have identified him as a top target to reinforce their backline in January, and they are set to rival the Eagles and the Toffees.

Gila was a part of the Real Madrid youth setup back in the day. While he did feature for their first team, the Spanish defender left the club in the summer of 2022 before getting promoted to the senior side.

The 25-year-old ended up joining Lazio in search of a prominent role, and the move has certainly worked out in his favour. Not only has he established himself as one of their mainstays, but his consistent performances have put him on the wishlist of multiple top clubs.

Apart from his exceptional defensive abilities, the Spanish centre-back is quite comfortable on the ball. His ability to play out from the back is one of the major reasons why Spurs have entered the race for his signature.

Gila to join a Premier League club?

Thomas Frank seeks more quality at the back and considers Gila an ideal fit for his system and the club’s project. The 25-year-old has all the qualities needed to succeed in the Premier League, and Spurs have started making moves to bring him to North London.

However, they are not alone in their pursuit, as Crystal Palace and Everton also have their eyes set on the former Real Madrid prospect. The Eagles and the Toffees have been keeping a close eye on the Lazio centre-back, who has also been linked with Chelsea.

With Marc Guehi expected to be on the move, Gila could replace him at Palace. Meanwhile, the Toffees lack quality and depth at the back, and the 25-year-old could prove to be a great signing for the short and long run.

His contract at the Italian club runs until the summer of 2027, and they are in no rush to negotiate his departure. They value him at around €45-50 million and will only engage if an offer close to that figure arrives. While Spurs won’t have a problem with the fee, they will have to move quickly and be decisive as well as persuasive to bring him to North London.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing 23-year-old German international Kevin Schade from Brentford next year.

According to a report by Football Insider, Thomas Frank is pushing Tottenham Hotspur to sign Kevin Schade. The 23-year-old is capable of operating anywhere across the front three, and he could prove to be a very useful acquisition for Tottenham.

The Lilywhites need more depth and quality in the attacking unit, and Schade would be ideal for them. The German international has played under Thomas Frank, and he knows how the Danish manager likes to operate. He will be able to settle in quickly and make an instant impact. Furthermore, he is well settled in the Premier League.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham come forward with an official proposal to get the deal done. Meanwhile, Brentford have lost multiple key players recently, and they will not want to lose the 23-year-old as well. Tottenham might have to pay a premium to get the deal done.

Meanwhile, convincing the player to join the club will not be too difficult for the North London outfit. Kevin Schade will look to compete at the highest level, and the opportunity to join Tottenham will be quite exciting for him.

It will be a major step up in his career, and he will look to compete at the highest level. Tottenham have the finances to get the deal across the line, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

Spurs could use Kevin Schade

Tottenham need more depth and cutting edge in the final third if they want to compete for major trophies. Dominic Solanke has not been able to score goals consistently, and Richarlison has been quite inconsistent since joining the club. In addition, the Brazilian international faces an uncertain future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Adding the German attacker would be a wise decision. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can secure an agreement with Brentford in the coming weeks. It is fair to assume that a move might be difficult in January. Perhaps Tottenham will have to wait until the summer transfer window to get the deal done.

Tottenham prioritising new deal for Micky van de Ven

Tottenham prioritising new deal for Micky van de Ven - TheHardTackle.com
Description

Tottenham are ready to reward key defensive star Micky van de Ven with a new deal to ward off any possibility of rival interest in the Dutchman.

According to TBR, Micky van de Ven’s new contract is a priority for Tottenham and CEO Vinai Venkatesham. The north Londoners are eager to avoid an unpleasant scenario with the Dutchman’s immediate and long-term future, especially with a few notable teams already looking closely at the defender.

Micky van de Ven has been a revelation since his move to Tottenham from Wolfsburg in the summer of 2023. The defender has not only established himself at the club but also in the Premier League as one of its top-tier defenders on the left-hand side.

There’s an element of versatility in his game that has seen Van de Ven play as a left-back for the Netherlands national side, which showcases his wide range of talents. However, from a Spurs perspective, Thomas Frank views him as one of the top bracket central defenders and is likely to keep playing him there regardless.

However, there’s a small matter of sorting his future out as Spurs had planned on a new deal for the defender who currently makes £50,000-a-week and has a deal until 2028. While there’s no immediate danger of losing him next summer, Tottenham are eager to keep him happy and reward him for his stellar rise within the ranks.

A host of top-rated clubs are already looking at the Dutchman ahead of a potential approach in the future. Tottenham are keen to avoid such conversations altogether, as CEO Vinai Venkatesham is prioritising a new deal for Van de Ven and wants to conclude it before the end of the year.

Tottenham are aware of rival interest

Tottenham want to reward the £50,000-a-week star with a new deal that could potentially more than double his current earnings. One of the main reasons for their decision on a new agreement is to thwart rival interest, especially from the likes of Chelsea and Real Madrid.
