Tottenham Hotspur defender Djed Spence has been spotted arriving in Italy to complete a move to Inter Milan.

The Italian side have been chasing Spence this summer, but were initially put off by the costs of the deal, which they felt were unaffordable.

Tottenham though gradually lowered their demands for the full-back and Inter Milan have been able to make a breakthrough.

A deal has been struck on the basis of a €30m fee for Spence, with a further €5m in add-ons, while the defender will sign a five-year contract.

Tottenham are also keeping hold of a ten per cent sell-on clause, giving them a further stake in Spence and potentially more money down the line.

Now Spence has arrived in Italy in order for Inter Milan to put him through a medical.

The defender has been spotted in Milan and Inter Milan will want to get the deal wrapped up soon.

Spence faced substantial competition for a starting spot under Roberto De Zerbi at Tottenham this season and has been willing to move on.

He is not an unknown quantity in Serie A, with the league also known to Spence, due to a loan stint at Genoa earlier in his career.

Genoa were keen to keep hold of Spence on a permanent basis, but were unable to agree a deal and he returned to Tottenham.

The defender has done his homework on joining the Nerazzurri, speaking to England team-mate John Stones, who made the move earlier this summer.

Now Spence will have a new adventure back in Serie A, as he looks to help Inter Milan retain the Scudetto this season.

Galatasaray have ‘begun to seriously consider’ signing Tottenham Hotspur star Mathys Tel and are plotting a move to prise the Frenchman away from N17.

The Cimbom first cast their eye over the striker in June, with suggestions at the time that they would make enquiries to gauge the parameters of a potential deal.

Last month, Tel’s representatives approached Galatasaray to offer the striker the opportunity to make the switch to Istanbul.

The Turkish champions were not alone in pursuing him, with Roma having explored Tel earlier in the window, while Napoli have also recently earmarked him as a target but are tipped to act only after clearing space through departures.

The 21-year-old has also been claimed to crave a change from north London, although he has continued to feature prominently in Roberto De Zerbi’s pre-season plans.

Now, the Turkish route has resurfaced for the Frenchman, with the Cimbom once again placing Tel on their radar.

Galatasaray have ‘begun to serious consider’ a move for Tel’s services, according to Turkish outlet Web Aslan.

The Yellow Reds are expected to scrutinise the striker’s transfer terms before committing to a ‘concrete step’, with his situation potentially set for further movement.

Due to his young age, Tel is ‘eligible for the 10+4 foreign player rule’, something which makes the idea of a move even more appealing to Galatasaray.

Whether the Frenchman would welcome a move to Turkey at this juncture of his career remains unclear, although Galatasaray are serial Turkish champions and regularly in the Champions League.

Galatasaray can offer Tel a chance to compete for silverware in the Super Lig as well as Champions League football, but the five years remaining on his Tottenham contract could leave Spurs in a strong position to command a substantial fee.

Bundesliga side 1.FC Koln are ‘still waiting’ for Tottenham Hotspur’s final approval to sign talented winger Mikey Moore on loan.

Moore spent last season on loan at Rangers after joining from Tottenham, with the Ibrox side beating Championship clubs to secure his signature.

The 18-year-old needed time to settle in Scotland, but gradually established himself as an important member of the Rangers squad as the campaign progressed.

Former Rangers striker Gordon Dalziel was impressed by Moore’s displays, particularly praising the winger for dealing with the pressure that came with playing for the Gers.

Moore has returned to Tottenham following the end of his loan spell at Ibrox and appears set to leave on another loan spell.

The winger first emerged as a target for Koln towards the end of last month, but it was initially suggested that a deal was not ‘financially feasible’ for Effzeh.

However, it was suggested last week that the Bundesliga side had emerged as the ‘big favourites’ to sign the Spurs attacker on loan.

Nothing has happened since then though and it has emerged that, on Koln’s part, the deal is basically done.

According to German journalist Marlon Irlbacher, Koln are ‘still waiting’ for final approval from Tottenham to secure the signature of Moore.

It has been suggested that both parties are clear regarding the loan terms.

Borussia Dortmund were also interested in the 19-year-old, but were unwilling to pursue a straight loan deal, with the Bundesliga side reluctant to act as a feeder club.

It remains to be seen when Spurs will give the green light for Moore to join Koln this summer.

Another Tottenham talent tipped to leave the N17 this summer is Souza, who is deemed a priority target for FC Porto.

Roberto De Zerbi though rates him highly and the jury is out on whether Porto will succeed.

FC Porto want to make progress on a deal for Tottenham Hotspur talent Souza, who the Portuguese outfit deem a priority target.

Tottenham brought in Souza from Brazilian side Santos in the winter transfer window to beef up their left-back options and he earned praise from then boss Thomas Frank after his debut against Manchester United.

The young Brazilian made a total of four appearances last season in the Premier League, including outings against Crystal Palace and Liverpool.

This summer 20-year-old Souza is drawing attention from European giants Porto and they made an enquiry about the player earlier in the window.

Spurs brought in Andrew Robertson from Liverpool this summer, which could raise a question mark over Souza’s game time under Roberto De Zerbi.

However, it has been suggested that the Italian tactician has ‘blind faith’ in Souza and rates the abilities of the young left-back very highly.

Porto have already tried with multiple offers for Souza, but De Zerbi has not been interested in listening to any of them.

It is understood that the Portuguese giants submitted one offer to take Souza on loan with also two permanent transfer bids.

Porto though do not appear to be giving up and, according to French journalist Santi Aouna, they want to push and make progress on a move for Souza, who they see as a priority.

The Portuguese giants have not given up the hunt and will hope to be able to convince Tottenham over the coming weeks.

Whether Tottenham change their plans on Souza remains to be seen, but so far De Zerbi has been solid on keeping him.

That desire is likely to only increase if Djed Spence moves to Inter Milan, while there is also interest from Italy in left-back Destiny Udogie.

Souza could be concerned about game time though, which Porto will want to try to take advantage of.

Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Randal Kolo Muani has admitted that his mind was elsewhere during his Spurs loan spell, due to his desire to return to Juventus.

Kolo Muani joined Tottenham in September 2025 on a season-long loan from Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain, with a move to Juventus not getting off the ground and Spurs swooping in.

The Frenchman endured a disappointing campaign with the Lilywhites, recording just two goal contributions in 30 Premier League appearances last term, as he failed to deliver the hoped for impact.

Following the end of loan spell, the 27-year-old had been very keen to join Juventus, regardless of whether the Bianconeri would be able to offer him Champions League football in the next season.

The Italian giants were also keen on Kolo Muani, who enjoyed a successful six-month loan spell with Juventus during the second half of the 2024/25 season.

Eventually, Juventus were able to secure the signature of the Frenchman earlier this month, tying the player to a five-year contract.

Kolo Muani acknowledged that his time at Tottenham was a difficult period in his career, but says that he was distracted by his desire to return to Juventus.

The 27-year-old, fresh off having experienced a relegation battle at Tottenham, expressed his happiness at officially returning to Juventus and feels it is like a fresh start.

Kolo Muani told Italian daily Tuttosport: “There were several things that didn’t work. For me, it was something more personal.

“I think my mind was a bit elsewhere: I wanted to return to Juventus.

“It’s also an episode in a player’s career: not every season can be positive, we can say that. For me, it was a year in which I learned something: I had injuries, my first injuries, but luckily I was able to recover from all of them.

“I think it’s due to all these things, but now it’s a new championship, it’s a new chapter for me. So I think it’s a new version of me, let’s say.”

Juventus missed out on the Champions League last season and Kolo Muani will be looking to put that right this term.

Without Kolo Muani, Tottenham have been pushing ahead with a rebuild under Roberto De Zerbi and, with defence and midfield addressed, now the final third is the focus.

Spurs have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Baris Alper Yilmaz, with Galatasaray willing to let the winger join a Premier League club this summer for the right price.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Djed Spence ‘has already spoken’ to England team-mate John Stones about life at Inter Milan as he closes in on a move to the Nerazzurri.

Spurs are experiencing a rebuild under Roberto De Zerbi and he has brought in a host of new faces in the form of Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke and Andrew Robertson to strengthen his defence.

However, they could experience departures in defence in the form of Cristian Romero and Spence, who is being chased by Italian giants Inter Milan.

Spence has experience of playing in Italy when he joined Genoa on loan in the winter of 2024 and the Italian outfit tried to sign him on a permanent basis but failed to make a deal happen.

Last season, Spence was a regular for Spurs but that changed after the arrival of De Zerbi in March, since then he managed to start only two games in the Premier League.

Spence impressed for the England national team during the recently finished World Cup and Spurs slapped a ‘very high’ price tag on his head.

In July it was suggested that Inter Milan had made official contact with the 26-year-old’s agents and it was suggested that the Nerazzurri could pursue a deal for Spence if Spurs were willing to lower their asking price.

With the transfer window set to enter its final stretch the Italian outfit were also looking at other options but it was suggested that Spence’s situation was something that was ‘one to keep an eye on’.

Inter are now closing in on a deal to secure the signature of Spence and they are expected to pay a fee in the region of €30m plus bonuses to Spurs.

According to Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport, Spence has been doing his homework on Inter Milan and has already spoken with England team-mate Stones about the club.

Stones recently completed a move to Inter Milan on a free transfer.

Spence is now waiting for both clubs to finalise a deal and receive a ‘go-ahead’ from Tottenham before he can travel to Milan and put pen to paper.

It is suggested that despite Nerazzurri holding conversations with other players for the same role, Spence was always their primary target and he will sign a four-year deal with the club if everything goes as planned.
