Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton are all interested in signing Tottenham midfielder Oliver Skipp according to reports.

Spurs are looking to sell a number of players this summer and they are reportedly prepared to let Skipp go as he searches for more regular first team football.

Ange Postecoglou’s side have already signed midfielders Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall which means Skipp has fallen further down the pecking order.

Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton interested in Skipp

The 23-year-old has been at the club since the age of eight and made 24 appearances for Spurs last season, but The Telegraph have reported the north London club are prepared to let the midfielder go with all three promoted clubs interested in securing his services.

Leicester lost star man Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea and a move to the King Power would see him link up with former team-mate Harry Winks, whilst Ipswich and Southampton are looking to strengthen their squads in an attempt to beat the drop.

Skipp has three years remaining on his contract and has made 106 appearances for Spurs, scoring just once, whilst he had a successful loan spell at Norwich during the 2020/2021 season.

The midfielder isn’t the only player who could be leaving the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with Emerson Royal and Richarlison possibly on their way out as well.

Spurs are in talks with AC Milan over the transfer of Royal, whilst Saudi side Al-Ahli have expressed interest in Richarlison, although they are yet to make a bid for the Brazilian.

In terms of incomings Postecoglou’s side appear to be making some progress in their pursuit of Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke who scored 19 Premier League goals last season.

Fabrizio Romano has stated that talks are underway with the Cherries and Solanke has given the green light to the move.

Up front would seem to be an area in which Tottenham Hotspur are fairly light at present, and the Lilywhites will almost certainly need to make a purchase in that area to give themselves a better chance of at least making the top four this season.

Ange Postecoglou’s side were the lowest scorers in the Premier League’s top seven clubs in 2023/24, and that clearly needs to be addressed by the Australian.

Were it not for a disastrous last few games, then Spurs and not Aston Villa would’ve found themselves in the premier European tournament this season.

Tottenham’s striker domino could be about to start

Rather than dwelling on what might’ve been, it’s far better for the North Londoners to look forward, and in order to help achieve that, there needs to be transfer movement both incoming and outgoing, in order to give the squad some much needed impetus.

According to CaughtOffside columnist and transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham are putting pen to paper on Wednesday to ensure that one striker deal does happen.

Writing on X (formerly Twitter), Romano has indicated that Alejo Veliz will be joining Espanyol on loan for the entirety of the 2024/25 campaign.

Veliz joined the North London outfit a year ago tomorrow, but was loan out to Spanish top-flight side, Sevilla, earlier this year.

This latest move would appear to suggest that there’s not much chance of a way back for the player at Tottenham, and it simply gives the Lilywhites room to add one more player to their attack in time for next season.

Crystal Palace attacker Eberechi Eze has been linked with a move away from the London club this summer.

The 26-year-old has had an impressive campaign with the Eagles and his performances have attracted the attention of top clubs like Liverpool and Tottenham hotspur.

According to Football Insider, both clubs have registered their interest in signing the England international and it remains to be seen whether they are ready to pay up.

According to reports, the player has a £60 million release clause in his contract but it can only be triggered by Champions League clubs. Therefore, Liverpool will be able to sign the player for a set price this summer. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can negotiate a similar deal for the player.

Eberechi Eze would improve Liverpool or Tottenham

Both Liverpool and Tottenham need more quality and cutting edge in the final third. The 26-year-old is capable of operating as the central attacking midfielder as well as a winger. He will add goals and creativity to the side.

He is well-settled in English football and he could make an instant impact as well.

The opportunity to join clubs like Liverpool or Tottenham will be quite attractive for the player as well. It would be a major step up in his career and he would get to push for trophies with them.

The attacking midfielder scored 11 goals last season and picked up 6 assists along the way. His numbers are likely to improve when he is playing in a better team alongside better teammates. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool or Tottenham are prepared to break the bank for him.

Both clubs will look to push for trophies next season and someone like Eze could make a big difference for them with his creativity, flair and technical ability.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Reims midfielder Amir Richardson.

According to a report from Foot Mercato, Tottenham have been watching the 22-year-old midfielder closely and they could look to step up their efforts to sign in this summer. The highly-rated defensive midfielder has impressed with his performances in Ligue 1 and it seems that Tottenham are prepared to provide him with an exit route.

Tottenham need to improve their midfield options this summer, and it is no surprise that they are looking at the talented young Moroccan midfielder. Richardson has the potential to develop into a quality player and he could be a useful acquisition for Tottenham. The North London club need to bring in a quality defensive midfielder after the departure of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Amir Richardson might fancy Tottenham move

The Moroccan under-23 international will be tempted to join a big club like Tottenham and it would be a major step up in his career. He would get to test himself at the highest level and regular football in England could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his tremendous potential.

Reims paid €2 million for the player when they signed him from Le Havre in 2022. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to sanction his departure for a reasonable amount of money this summer. Tottenham will not want to pay over the odds. They will need to strengthen the other areas of their squad as well.

The North London outfit will compete in the Europa League next season and they need a deeper squad to do well across multiple competitions. The 22-year-old would be a handy option and it remains to be seen whether Spurs can get the deal across the line.

The 22-year-old is likely to improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a key player for the club in the long-term.

Tottenham finished fifth in the league last season and they missed out on a place in the Champions League in the final few weeks.

Their form dropped at the latter stage of last season and Aston Villa beat them to a fourth placed finish, costing Ange Postecoglou’s team a place in Europe’s elite competition.

After losing their star man Harry Kane to Bayern Munich last summer, Spurs were expected to struggle but under Postecoglou, they showed they can deal with the loss of Kane and still play attacking, attractive football.

Son Heung-min, supported by players like James Maddison and Richarlison, performed exceptionally well and took the leadership role at the club.

The arrival of manager Postecoglou elevated the level of some of the players and under his leadership, the North Londoners are heading in the right direction.

However, they need new signings to keep up with their Premier League rivals, who have all strengthen their squad this summer.

Spurs have managed to sign Archie Gray from Tottenham to bolster their midfielder while also extending Timo Werner’s loan deal.

More signings are expected to arrive soon and Fabrizio Romano has confirmed it, saying that he expects the Premier League club to be busy.

The transfer specialist revealed on Playback:

“I expect Tottenham to be active and busy in the transfer market next week.”

It remains to be seen who they will sign in the coming week. It could well be a new striker as they are actively looking to make addition in the attacking position.

Tottenham are looking for a new striker this summer

Spurs have been linked with a move for Brentford striker Ivan Toney while Bournemouth attacker Dominic Solanke has also been mentioned.

Toney’s contract at Brentford expires next summer, which makes it easier for Spurs to sign him now as Brentford are willing to let him leave now instead of losing him for free next year.

Solanke made 41 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring 21 goals and he could be a worthy addition to the Spurs attack.

If Postecoglou can get his hands on one of the two strikers mentioned above, he would be happy with his business and that would make Spurs a force to be feared next season.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Alejo Veliz has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.

The 20-year-old Argentine striker is unlikely to play regularly for the North London club next season and Fiorentina are keen on securing his signature. According to Rudy Galetti, Fiorentina are stepping up efforts to sign the player and they are likely to submit an offer soon.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to sanction his departure this summer. Galetti does not mention whether the player will leave Tottenham on loan or on a permanent basis.

Veliz is highly rated in South America and he has a bright future. He was on loan at Sevilla last season and he has the potential to develop into a top-class player in the near future.

Spurs must look to keep him at the club for as long as possible. Perhaps, sending him out on loan would be ideal for all parties. The 20-year-old needs to play regularly at this stage of his career in order to continue his development.

Tottenham should send Alejo Veliz on loan

Tottenham will not be able to provide him with that platform. If the Italian outfit are ready to provide him with the necessary gametime assurances, a loan move to Fiorentina might be ideal for all parties.

It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Veliz could develop into a quality first team player for Tottenham in the near future. They should look to focus on his development for now and ensure that he gets ample first team action.

Meanwhile, the player has the physical and technical attributes to do well in Italian football and he could be a useful acquisition for Fiorentina if they can get the deal done.

Tottenham Hotspur remain keen on Victor Osimhen as the Napoli striker continues to be linked with a move to the Premier League.

According to Football Insider, Chelsea are looking to sign the 25-year-old as well and they are currently in negotiations to get the deal done.

Tottenham are keeping track of the situation and it will be interesting to see if they come forward with an official proposal to sign the Nigerian striker. The 25-year-old has established himself as one of the best strikers in European football and he scored 17 goals in all competitions last season.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can beat Chelsea to his signature. The 25-year-old could transform the North London club in the attack if he joins them. They have missed a clinical presence like him since the departure of Harry Kane.

Tottenham need a reliable goalscorer in their ranks and the 25-year-old would be the ideal acquisition. He has the physical and technical attributes to thrive in the Premier League and he will want to join an ambitious club capable of pushing for major trophies.

Tottenham and Chelsea keen on Osimhen

Tottenham have asked to be kept informed on the striker’s situation and they would be willing to offer some of their players in exchange for the Nigerian.

Chelsea are hoping to sign him in a player-plus-cash deal as well. It will be interesting to see where he ends up eventually.

Meanwhile, the report states that Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is desperate to sign a new striker this summer. Tottenham are keeping tabs on Jonathan David as well.

Osimhen is at the peak of his powers and he will look to push for major trophies in the coming seasons. A move to Tottenham or Chelsea will be an exciting opportunity and he would get to test himself at a higher level with them.
