Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keeping tabs on the Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin.

The 24-year-old has done quite well since joining the Scottish outfit for a fee of around £2 million in 2023. Tottenham are now keen on securing his signature, and they have expressed interest in signing him.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, he will cost around £20-25 million. Rangers will be able to secure a substantial profit from his departure, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham come forward with an offer to get the deal done.

Crystal Palace wanted to sign Raskin recently. Newly promoted side Leeds United wanted to sign him in the summer as well.

Spurs could use Nicolas Raskin

They could use more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the Belgian would be a useful acquisition. He has the physical and technical attributes for English football, and he will add some much-needed quality and depth to the squad. Tottenham need a hard-working midfielder who will add control, drive and work rate to the side. The Belgian could be the ideal fit for them.

He has shown his quality in the Scottish Premier League, and he will be tempted to make the step up to the Premier League. Raskin averages 3.7 tackles, 1.5 interceptions, 1.9 blocks, 1.9 clearances and 1.4 aerials won per 90 minutes over the last 12 months.

Raskin could fancy a move

It would be a huge opportunity for the midfielder, and he will look to prove himself in the Premier League. He is entering the peak years of his career, and this could be the right time for him to take on a new challenge. Tottenham have an ambitious project and a quality team, and he will be attracted to the idea of joining them.

Tottenham have a quality manager, and Thomas Frank could bring out the best in the Belgian. The north London outfit has done quite well in the Premier League so far, and they are third in the league table. Signing the right players in January could help them improve further.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the highly talented defender, Lautaro Rivero.

The 21-year-old has done well for River Plate, and his performances have attracted the attention of Tottenham and Atletico Madrid, as per Fichajes. Both clubs are hoping to bring the player to Europe, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Lautaro Rivero could be a useful addition

Tottenham could use more quality and depth in the defensive unit, and the 21-year-old would be a long-term acquisition. He could develop into an important player for the north London club, like his compatriot Cristian Romero.

Similarly, Atletico Madrid could use more depth in the defensive unit as well. The young defender has the quality to play for top teams, and he could develop into a key player for both clubs with the right guidance. Tottenham and Atletico Madrid are big clubs with exciting projects, and they have done well to groom young players in recent seasons. They could help the South American fulfil his potential as well.

It will be interesting to see where the 21-year-old ultimately ends up. Tottenham have the financial muscle to get the deal across the line. It will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official proposal.

Report: Tottenham now looking to sign star Thomas Frank “knows inside out”

A big move could tempt Rivero

Rivero will want to compete at the highest level, and the move to the Premier League or La Liga could be tempting for him. He will look to join a club where he will be able to fight for trophies. Both Tottenham and Atletico Madrid will be able to provide him with that opportunity. It remains to be seen where he ends up eventually.

If Tottenham can sign the player for a reasonable amount of money, the deal could prove to be a solid investment in the long run.

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to add more quality to the attacking unit, and they have been linked with the Brentford star, Kevin Schade.

The 23-year-old has done well for Brentford, and Thomas Frank knows him well. It is no surprise that Tottenham are being linked with the player. It will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for him.

They could use more depth in the final third, and the German attacker will add goals, pace and flair to the side. The opportunity to join the north London club could be exciting for the player as well. It would be a step up for him, and he would get to compete in the UEFA Champions League and fight for trophies.

Tottenham could move for Kevin Schade?

Former Tottenham scout Mick Brown has revealed: “Kevin Schade is somebody the manager knows inside out.

“He’s had him before and worked with him closely, so he will know what his strengths and limitations are and how he would fit into this Tottenham team.

“So if he thinks he’s the type of player who would improve them, he’ll be pushing for the club to go out and sign him in January.

“It seems to me that Spurs are quite well-stocked out wide, I wouldn’t expect it to be a priority for them.

“But you never know, they’re always looking to add more depth and build on what they’ve got.

“If the manager thinks bringing him in would help them be successful and compete at the right end of the table, then it could be one they look to do.”

Spurs could use Schade

Players like Dominic Solanke and Richarlison have not been able to live up to the expectations since joining the club. Tottenham need more depth in the side. More competition for places could bring out the best in the team.

Schade scored more goals in the league last season than Solanke and Richarlison, despite not being a natural striker. His arrival would help Spurs going forward. He had better availability compared to the other two players as well.

Schade is also versatile enough to operate in multiple attacking roles, and he could be a very useful player for the north London club. He knows the way Frank likes to play, and he will be able to settle in quickly and make an instant impact.

Tottenham Hotspur are considering a January move for Mario Gila, with the Lazio centre-back emerging as a serious candidate to reinforce Thomas Frank’s defense, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside.

The 25-year-old has impressed during his time in the Serie A, making him an appealing profile for Premier League recruitment teams searching for reliability as much as upside.

The defender has made six league appearances for the Italian club this season.

With multiple English clubs tracking his situation and Lazio protected by a long contract, the chase for Gila is getting more intense.

Thomas Frank wants a ball playing centre-back

Frank likes his team to build from the back and Gila is a player who can provide that.

Gila’s strengths map neatly onto that blueprint. He is comfortable defending large spaces, aggressive stepping into midfield to break lines, and calm enough in possession to help progress play under pressure.

Tottenham are not alone. Crystal Palace, Brighton, and Everton have all kept close tabs on the Spaniard, and there was concrete interest in the summer, Brighton and Bournemouth are understood to have made contact with the player’s camp as they scoped out centre-back options.

The defender has been previously linked with Tottenham’s Premier League rivals Chelsea.

Any Spurs approach will therefore need to be both decisive and persuasive, with role clarity and pathway to minutes likely to matter as much as finance.

Tottenham have been told Mario Gila’s price tag

The Roman club hold the stronger negotiating position. Gila is under contract until 2027.

Sources around the deal suggest Lazio would only engage at €45-50 million. That valuation won’t scare Tottenham.

Expect Spurs to test the waters in January, but whether they land their man will depend on how aggressively they move and how much resistance Lazio are prepared to mount.

One way or another, Gila’s name is likely to sit near the top of several Premier League shortlists in the near future.

Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to secure an agreement with Micky van de Ven over a new contract.

The 24-year-old defender has been outstanding since joining the club, and he has established himself as one of the best defenders in the Premier League right now. It is no surprise that Spurs want to keep him at the club for the long term.

He has a contract with them until 2028, and it will be interesting to see if they can convince him to commit his long-term future to the club. Van de Ven has been linked with Real Madrid recently.

New deal for Micky van de Ven?

Graeme Bailey told TBR Football: “I am told it is very much one of Vinai Venkatesham’s priorities to get him tied down before the New Year; they don’t want Van de Ven’s name to become part of the centre back talk that is already happening.

“Spurs know he is under contract until 2028, so in theory he can’t move, but they want to keep him happy, and Spurs know he is as good as anything in England or indeed Europe at the moment.”

Spurs must keep Van de Ven

Tottenham have done quite well this season, and they are third in the league table. They will look to build on their impressive start to the season and fight for trophies.

They have an ambitious project and they need to sign quality players in order to fulfil their goals. In addition to that, they need to keep their best players as well. Losing the Netherlands international would be a huge blow for the club in future. They will want to keep him at the club for as long as possible, and securing a new contract with him will be up boost for the club.

It will be interesting to see if the defender is ready to put pen to paper on a new deal in the coming months.

While speaking about Aghehowa’s future on Inside Track podcast, O’Rourke said: “I’m sure he’s [Aghehowa] somebody who’s maybe on the list of Tottenham and other clubs in the Premier League.

“Chelsea [came] very close to signing him a couple of transfer windows ago before the player decided to stay.

“Then Newcastle had him on their list in the summer window as they looked at potential replacements for Alexander Isak before signing Nick Woltemade.

“So I think he’s a top young player, 21 years old, Spain international. It’s no surprise that Tottenham and all these other big clubs in the Premier League are looking at him.

“He’s a player with huge potential and could really develop into one of the best strikers in Europe, if he continues his rise. I think that’s why these Premier League clubs are looking at him.

“He has got a release clause in his contract at Porto of around £86million, which is a big price tag on his head.

“But, I think if he continues what he’s doing right now and develops as a player and fulfils his potential, that could be a decent fee for somebody who wants to take him.

“[For] Tottenham, again, the number nine is coming a bit of an issue for them in some respects. Solanke’s had his injury problems so far this season.

“Then Richarlison has obviously slotted in and done quite well there, but there’s been ongoing speculation in regards to his future.

“Porto will be doing well to hang on to him [Aghehowa] in the next couple of transfer windows because I’m sure that interest will remain.”

Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on the German International winger Kevin Schade.

The 23-year-old has impressed with Brentford, and he could prove to be an interesting acquisition for the north London club. He has a contract with Brentford until 2028, and it will not be easy to secure his services in the coming months.

Tottenham eyeing Kevin Schade

Spurs are hoping to make a move for him at the end of the season, as per Florian Plettenberg. They could use more quality and depth on the flanks, and the German International could be a useful acquisition for them. He is well settled in the Premier League, and he could make an instant impact at Tottenham.

The opportunity to join the North London club will be quite exciting for him. It would be a step up in his career, and he would get to compete for trophies with them. It remains to be seen whether Brentford are prepared to sanction his departure at the end of the season. They are likely to demand a premium for him.

Spurs should invest in a striker

Tottenham have done well to improve their attacking this summer, and it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to invest in a wide player. Ideally, they should look to bring in a quality striker who can find the back of the net regularly. They have adequate options in the wide areas. They have been linked with Antoine Semenyo as well.

Meanwhile, the 23-year-old German attacker is attracting interest from other clubs as well. It will be interesting to see if any club is willing to follow up on their interest with an official proposal to sign him at the end of the season. He will look to join a competitive team where he will be able to fight for trophies.

Tottenham appear poised to make significant moves in the January transfer window and one of the early casualties could be Richarlison.

Spurs have made an impressive start to life under new manager Thomas Frank. After the departure of Ange Postecoglou, Frank has made the team more organised and focused on defensive solidity while keeping the attacking nature of the team alive.

Reports from Tottenham Hotspur News reveal that Crystal Palace are showing interest in the striker, prompting voices within Spurs’ circle to suggest the club “bite Palace’s hands off” for a deal.

Tottenham could consider the sale of Richarlison

Valued at around £20-25 million, he remains under contract through 2026, and this could be the right time for Spurs to cash in on the Brazilian attacker.

Richarlison has often polarised fans and managers alike. His ability to score, press, and contribute in chance creation has been clear, but consistency has eluded him.

This season, despite flashes of form, he has yet to fully justify his place at Spurs in a squad undergoing tactical rebuilds under Frank.

Ex-Spurs scout Bryan King, speaking exclusively to Tottenham Hotspur News, has suggested that the club should look to offload Richarlison.

“Without doubt (they should be doing business with Palace),” King said.

“If anybody comes in for Richarlison and offers that kind of money, then I’d bite their hands off if I were Spurs.

“I think it will be a case of taking whatever they can get for him. Because he hasn’t exactly set the world alight since he’s been at Tottenham. Across all the managers who have been there.

“But, I’d be very surprised if another Premier League club bought him.”

Richarlison has struggled for consistency at Spurs

King’s words show a growing consensus that it may be better to recoup some value than hold onto a player whose performance hasn’t matched the investment.

With the forward’s deal expiring in summer 2026 and minimal signs of a contract renewal, the risk of walking away for free looms large for Spurs.

If Richarlison is moved in January, it frees up resources both in wages and squad slots to invest in areas that fit Frank’s attacking style more effectively.

Tottenham Hotspur are monitoring the performances of Hayden Hackney ahead of a potential move.

The 23-year-old has been a key player for Middlesbrough in the Championship, and Tottenham are keen on securing his signature. They could use more creativity and control in the middle of the park, and the English midfielder would be a quality long-term investment.

He will want to compete at the highest level, and the move to the Premier League could be ideal for him. Tottenham have an ambitious project, and they will be an attractive destination.

Manchester United have been linked with Hayden Hackney as well.

Tottenham keen on Hayden Hackney

According to former club scout Mick Brown, Tottenham are interested in the player. It remains to be seen whether they follow up on their interest with an official proposal to get the deal done.

Brown said on Football Insider: “I’m told Tottenham have been watching him and I expect they’ve been impressed by his performances, so they could be the ones to make a move.

“I still think he has room to improve, but I think he’d be able to go to a team like Tottenham and strengthen their squad and work his way into the starting XI.”

Hackney would be a useful addition

Tottenham would do well to sign the talented young midfielder in the coming months. The 23-year-old has shown his quality in the Championship, and he has the attributes to do well in the top flight as well. He will be desperate to prove his quality in the Premier League. He could be an asset for Tottenham.

It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Hackney has been linked with other English clubs as well. Middlesbrough will certainly hope to recoup as much as possible for the young midfielder.

Tottenham have done well to bring quality young players in recent windows, and the 23-year-old would be another solid addition to the formidable pool of young talent at the club.

Tottenham’s long-serving fullback Ben Davies appears to be nearing the final chapters of his time at Spurs.

Having spent well over a decade in North London, Davies is now officially Tottenham’s longest-serving squad member, a status that has naturally sparked talk among fans and pundits alike about when the time will come to bid farewell.

According to Tottenham Hotspur News, as his role diminishes and younger players ascend, the Spurs faithful are already preparing for an emotional send-off, expecting that Davies will walk off the pitch one last time to a standing ovation from supporters who have seen him through thick and thin.

Davies arrived at Tottenham from Swansea City in 2014 and has since carved out a respected, though often understated, legacy.

Over his many years at the club, he has accumulated 358 appearances, contributed nine goals, and delivered 26 assists.

Even in seasons where he was not guaranteed a starting role, Davies was a dependable presence, stepping in when needed and maintaining high standards.

Under Thomas Frank, Spurs are undergoing a tactical and personnel evolution, with younger fullbacks and defenders ascending.

Davies’s minutes have gradually declined, and he has been linked with a potential departure, especially as the club focuses on competing at the highest levels in both the Premier League and Europe.

Ben Davies to leave Tottenham?

Former Premier League midfielder Martin Allen believes Davies will receive an emotional sending off from the Spurs fans when he leaves the club.

“Is he now good enough to continue that in the Premier League,” Allen said.

“I’m not sure. I doubt it. But when you’ve got the competitions there in with the Champions League, you are going to need all your players at Champions League level.

“You’re going to need all of them to contribute. He will probably play in games like the FA Cup, League Cup, and some of the lesser Premier League games, maybe he may get involved.

“But I think his time’s probably coming to an end in Tottenham, and I’m sure every Tottenham fan, when he does play, his last game for Tottenham, would give him a standing ovation because he’s been a fantastic player for them. But I think he’s coming towards the end of his Tottenham time.”

Though his playing time is waning and the squad is being reshaped around fresh faces, his legacy is etched into Spurs’ identity.

When the moment arrives, few would be surprised if the final whistle is followed by applause, gratitude, and a standing ovation befitting a player who dedicated so much to the Lilywhites.
