Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks.

Atletico Madrid are keen on signing the 27-year-old central defender, but Tottenham have no plans to let him move on. According to Fabrizio Romano, they want to keep the player at the club at least for the upcoming season.

He said on GMS: “Quiet situation now, I think Spurs will really try their best to keep him at least for this season.”

Can Spurs convince him to stay?

It remains to be seen whether they can convince him to stay. Romero is reportedly looking to try out a new challenge, and he believes that he will be able to fight for major trophies with the Spanish club.

Tottenham have secured Champions League qualification for the next season, and they have brought in a quality manager. If they can bring in quality during the summer window, they might be able to convince the player of their ambitions.

Cristian Romero is an indispensable asset

He has been outstanding for Tottenham since joining the club, and the 44-cap Argentina International helped them win the UEFA Europa League last season.

Romero was flawless in the final against Manchester United, and he was one of the main reasons why they won the trophy. Keeping him at the club should be one of their top priorities.

It is no surprise that big clubs like Atletico Madrid want to sign the player. He is a world-class player who has proven himself for club and country. He helped Argentina win the World Cup and the Copa America as well. He will look to win League titles and the Champions League trophy at club level now.

Earlier this week, Thomas Frank was confirmed as the next manager of Tottenham, replacing the recently-sacked Ange Postecoglou. The former Brentford head coach will not begin a new era in his career, and there is little doubt that he faces a big battle at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

Frank was Tottenham’s favourite to replace Postecoglou from the outset, so they will be delighted at his arrival. And supporters also appear to be pleased at the decision, although there is still a feeling of uneasiness after the Australian’s exit.

Collymore excited by Thomas Frank appointment at Tottenham

In his exclusive CaughtOffside column, Stan Collymore gave his thoughts on Tottenham’s decision to appoint Frank as their new manager.

“I really rate the appointment of Thomas Frank as Tottenham’s new manager. I have spoken to him in the past, and he is a very intelligent coach. He is a technical person, and because of this, he should fit in very well in north London. He understands tactical flexibility, which is something that Ange Postecoglou did not. And I think he will be as easy-going, but I’m sure that he will also operate with a rod of steel.

“I also believe that it was the right time for him to leave Brentford. Had be stayed any longer, there would have been doubts about whether he would ever make the step up to a bigger team, but he has now done that.

“I don’t understand this supposed revolt at Tottenham after Ange’s sacking. The decision was obviously taken because of the poor performance in the Premier League, but it is because of them that they ended up in 17th. Had they been better and maybe tried harder, he would still be at the club.

“Someone like James Maddison talks a lot, but he does not deliver enough over the season. He was one player that appeared to have a good relationship with Ange, so it will be interesting to see how Frank views him. That is something for readers to keep an eye on for readers.

“It must be remembered that Tottenham probably need 10 more wins next season compared to last if they are to qualify for the Champions League via the Premier League. And I think that Frank has more strings in his bow to improve the club’s level going forward when compared to Ange, who was tactically inflexible for the most part.”

Yegor Yarmolyuk has been linked with a move away from Brentford in recent weeks, and several clubs are keeping tabs on his situation.

Brentford have set a price tag of around €30 million for the youngster, but the club is aiming to keep him in the squad next season rather than prioritising his sale, sources close to the situation have informed CaughtOffside.

Yarmolyuk has a long-term contract until 2031, with the club holding the option to extend it by one year.

Brentford player is in demand

An unnamed Premier League and La Liga club have inquired about the Ukrainian’s situation, while Borussia Dortmund and Napoli continue to monitor him. Burnley, Leeds United, Tottenham, Everton, and Wolves have all been closely tracking the midfielder, but none have made a formal approach yet.

Yarmolyuk’s versatility has caught the attention of Premier League clubs. It will be interesting to see if any club is willing to come forward with an official approach for him.

Tottenham and Leeds should move for Yegor Yarmolyuk

The 21-year-old is a talented player with a bright future, and he could prove to be a solid long-term acquisition for most Premier League clubs. Tottenham could certainly use more depth in the central midfield, especially with players like Yves Bissouma linked with an exit.

Rodrigo Bentancur has been inconsistent for them as well. The Ukrainian could prove to be a quality addition. He has excelled under Thomas Frank at Brentford, and if the Danish manager is appointed as the next Tottenham boss, the North London club might have an edge in the transfer race.

Meanwhile, Leeds could use his qualities in the middle of the park as well. They have secured promotion to the Premier League, and they will look to build a team capable of establishing themselves as regulars in the top flight. They need more control and composure in the midfield, and a 21-year-old could be the ideal acquisition for them.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the RB Salzburg winger Dorgeles Nene this summer.

According to a report from Rudy Galetti on TEAMtalk, the 22-year-old has attracted the attention of multiple clubs from England, Germany and Italy. Tottenham have been monitoring his performances, and it remains to be seen whether they come forward with an offer to sign him.

Tottenham need attacking depth

Nene has 15 goals to his name and nine assists this past season. He is capable of operating across the front three, and he could be the ideal addition to the Tottenham attacking unit.

They are in desperate need of a dynamic attacker like Nene, who is capable of slotting into multiple attacking roles. He is young enough to improve further, and he could develop into a player for the club.

Tottenham need more cutting edge in the final third, if they want to do well next year. They have secured Champions League qualification, and they need to bring in better players who will help them match up to the European elite.

Dorgeles Nene could fancy Spurs switch

The talented young attacker could be tempted to join Tottenham. It would be a huge step in his career, and he would get to test himself in the Premier League.

Regular football in England could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his tremendous potential. The 22-year-old is valued at around €20-25 million. The asking price seems quite reasonable for a player of his potential, and he could easily justify the investment in future.

Spurs have the resources to get the deal done, and it remains to be seen whether they follow up on their interest with an official offer to sign the player.

Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to appoint Thomas Frank as their new manager, and they have already opened talks with his representatives.

According to Ben Jacobs and Alex Crook, the 51-year-old manager has informed Brentford that he wants to leave them and join Tottenham. It will come as a huge boost for the north London outfit, and they will be hoping to wrap up the move quickly.

Frank has impressed at Brentford

The Danish manager has done an excellent job at Brentford, and he will be expected to hit the ground running at Tottenham as well. There is no doubt that they have a talented squad, and he will be expected to get the best out of them.

Tottenham finished close to the relegation zone last season, and they will be desperate to bounce back strongly. Frank will be expected to guide them to a top-four finish. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can work out an agreement quickly.

Brentford under pressure to let Thomas Frank leave

Brentford will not want to lose a quality manager like him, but they are powerless to stop him from leaving. They cannot hope to hold on to Frank against his wishes, and they will eventually have to agree to let him go.

Tottenham relieved Ange Postecoglou of his duties after he won the UEFA Europa League last season. Despite the success in the club competition, the league performances were disastrous under the Australian manager. A fresh start would be ideal for Tottenham.

Meanwhile, the 51-year-old has proven himself in the Premier League, and he will look to take up a new challenge. The opportunity to manage a top club cannot be turned down. He will hope to push for trophies with Tottenham. Frank has excelled at Brentford, but he will not be able to fight for major trophies with them. It makes sense for him to move on.

Tottenham Hotspur have made significant progress in their attempts to bring Brentford manager Thomas Frank to the club.

Sources have informed CaughtOffside that the London side are moving quickly, but the deal appears to be dependent on a few key points.

Firstly, Tottenham are reportedly ready to activate the release clause in Frank’s contract with Brentford. However, Brentford are looking for alternative solutions as they do not want to lose their successful manager. The club are considering the possibility of offering Frank a new contract.

Tottenham hierarchy impressed

Meanwhile, Tottenham are continuing their search for a manager in a very intense manner. It is stated that Johan Lange and Daniel Levy have a direct role in the process of determining the new manager after Ange Postecoglou’s departure.

Frank is seen as the ideal candidate to helm their long-term project. His consistent performances in the Premier League have impressed the Tottenham management.

However, the Danish manager’s strong ties to Brentford could prolong the process. That said, there have been progress in the talks. If an agreement is reached, Tottenham’s goals for next season could change dramatically.

The club is considering reshaping its transfer strategy in line with Thomas Frank’s demands. The Brentford manager aims to compete with Manchester United for Bryan Mbeumo if he comes to Tottenham.

Thomas Frank would be the ideal fit

Tottenham need a manager with a balanced approach, and Frank could be the ideal appointment for them. Postecoglou was often criticised for his overly aggressive attacking system. In addition to that, the Danish manager has shown that he can work with limited resources, and his teams tend to punch above their weight. He could be the ideal fit for Tottenham.

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with multiple managers in recent weeks, and Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that they approached Roberto De Zerbi.

The Italian manager is currently at Marseille, and he wishes to stay there. He has turned down the approach from Tottenham. They are now expected to advance in talks with Thomas Frank from Brentford, as per Romano.

It appears that the Danish manager is not the front runner for the job.

Roberto De Zerbi would have been a superb option

De Zerbi has previously shown his quality in the Premier League with Brighton, and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola labelled him as “one of the most influential managers in the last 20 years”.

There is no doubt that the Italian is a top-class manager, and he would’ve been an excellent appointment for Tottenham. However, he has no desire to leave the French club right now.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can bring in the right addition during the summer transfer window. They must get their managerial appointment right this summer. They had a disappointing Premier League campaign last year, and they will hope to bounce back strongly.

The right manager could get the best out of their players next season. There is no doubt that they have a quality squad, but Ange Postecoglou failed to harness their true potential.

Tottenham keen on Thomas Frank

Frank has done an outstanding job at Brentford, and there is no doubt that he would be a quality appointment as well. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Apart from bringing in a quality manager, they need to plug the weaknesses in their squad as well. They need multiple signings in order to truly match up to the European elite next season.

They have secured Champions League qualification for the next season, and they need a deeper squad with more quality.

Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur keen on him.

The 23-year-old is highly rated across Europe, and Monaco will demand €60-65 million for him. According to a report from Stretty News, the player is deemed too expensive for Manchester United, and it remains to be seen whether the other clubs are keen on making a move for him.

Man United and Liverpool could use Maghnes Akliouche

Manchester United need more attacking depth, and the 23-year-old could prove to be a quality acquisition. He will add pace and flair to the Manchester United attack. However, Monaco will have to be reasonable with their demands.

Liverpool could use depth in the wide areas as well. The 23-year-old could compete with the likes of Luis Diaz for the starting spot. The opportunity to play for the Premier League champions could be hard to turn down for the youngster.

Newcastle and Tottenham keen

Meanwhile, Newcastle will be hoping to complete their attacking unit this summer. They need another wide player to support the likes of Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon. They have secured Champions League qualification for the next season, and they are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world. The young attacker could be tempted to join them if the opportunity presents itself.

Finally, Tottenham need more quality on the flanks as well. Richarlison has been underwhelming, and Timo Werner has left the club upon the expiry of his loan deal. Tottenham need to bring in more quality in that area of the pitch.

Akliouche has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in English football, and he could be a long-term asset for all four clubs.

Amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding Ange Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham, Brentford manager Thomas Frank has reportedly expressed interest in the Spurs managerial role following positive discussions with the club, according to Football Insider.

Despite Postecoglou leading Tottenham to their first major trophy in 17 years by securing the UEFA Europa League title, a disappointing 17th-place finish in the Premier League has cast doubt over his tenure.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is said to be considering several candidates to potentially replace Postecoglou.

Tottenham want Brentford boss Thomas Frank

Among these, Thomas Frank has emerged as a leading contender.

The Danish manager, who has a release clause of approximately £9 million in his Brentford contract, has impressed the Spurs hierarchy due to his playing style at Brentford and how he has managed to perform well within limited resources.

While it may come as a surprise to many as why Spurs are looking to offload Postecoglou, the reason behind him being possibly shown the exit door at the club is their poor performance and consistency in the Premier League.

Finishing just above the relegation zone for a club as big as Tottenham was highly surprising.

Although Postecoglou suggested that since the start of the year they were completely focusing on the Europa League, it is still not good enough for Spurs to finish 17th in the league.

Frank’s football style would suit Spurs

As the club prepares for the upcoming season and the challenges of Champions League football, the decision on who will lead Tottenham forward remains a critical one.

With positive talks already held, Frank’s potential appointment could give Spurs the chance to get a manager who likes to play attacking football and someone who is also good enough to improve the levels of the players like he has shown with Bryan Mbuemo and Yoane Wissa.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola praised the Brentford manager by calling him ‘one of the best’.

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve their defensive unit with the signing of the Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi.

Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from the club, and Tottenham need to replace him adequately. He is the best defender at the club, and his departure will weaken the squad. Tottenham are looking at the England International as a potential replacement.

Guehi has been linked with Newcastle United as well.

Cristian Romero replacement?

Guehi has certainly proven his quality in the Premier League with Crystal Palace, and he helped them win the FA Cup this past season. He has the ability to play for a bigger club, and he could be the ideal replacement for the World Cup winner.

According to Fichajes, Tottenham are now looking to accelerate negotiations to sign the player, and he will cost them €40 million. The reported asking price seems reasonable for a player of his quality, and he could easily justify the outlay.

Marc Guehi would be an excellent addition

Guehi is still only 24, and he will improve with coaching experience. He could prove to be a bargain in the long term for Tottenham.

The defender has proven himself with Crystal Palace, and this is the right time for him to take the next step in his career and join a club capable of fighting for trophies. Tottenham have won the UEFA Europa League, and they will be an attractive destination for the defender. It remains to be seen whether the former Chelsea Academy graduate is ready to join them.

Meanwhile, the player has been linked with a return to his former club, Chelsea, as well.

Tottenham certainly have the financial resources to pay €40 million for him, and it will be interesting to see if they submit an official offer in the coming weeks.
