CaughtOffside

Marc Guehi’s time at Crystal Palace appears to be drawing to a close, with the England international expected to be at the centre of transfer drama in the upcoming January window.

After coming within touching distance of a move to Liverpool last summer, only for the deal to collapse at the final moment, Guehi’s future at Selhurst Park remains highly uncertain.

With the player close to entering the final six months of his contract at Selhurst Park, Palace are now open to offers, wary of losing their captain on a free transfer in the summer.

The England international has one goal and one assist in six Premier League matches this season for the Eagles.

Tottenham lead race to sign Marc Guehi

Tottenham Hotspur are among the leading contenders to secure his signature, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside.

Thomas Frank’s side are keen to strengthen their defensive options, and Guehi’s expiring contract makes him an attractive, cost-effective target.

Spurs believe the 25-year-old could add both leadership and stability to their backline, while the reduced transfer fee aligns with their budget for mid-season reinforcements.

However, the race for Guehi extends well beyond English football. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona are weighing up January bids, with sources close to the player suggesting he is open to testing himself in La Liga.

Guehi has instructed his representatives to keep communication lines open with Real Madrid in particular.

Liverpool remain interested in Palace centre-back

Liverpool, meanwhile, remain determined to revive their pursuit. The Merseyside club see Guehi as a long-term defensive solution and are eager to make amends for the failed summer move.

Manchester City and Manchester United are also monitoring the situation, with City looking to refresh an ageing defense and United identifying Guehi as a potential successor to Harry Maguire.

Crystal Palace, for their part, have adopted a pragmatic stance. The club accepts that tying Guehi down to a long-term extension is unlikely and are prepared to negotiate offers in the region of €20-30 million, though the short length of his contract could force the eventual fee even lower.

Guehi’s impending departure from Crystal Palace seems less a question of “if” and more of “when.” With top Premier League clubs circling and both Real Madrid and Barcelona expressing interest, January is shaping up to be decisive.

As the January transfer window draws closer, speculation around the futures of many young stars begins to increase, and Real Madrid’s Arda Güler is no exception.

The Turkish international has been the subject of admiration from several of Europe’s elite clubs, eager to test Madrid’s resolve. Yet, despite the noise, Real Madrid remain unwavering in their stance, Arda is not for sale.

The 20-year-old midfielder has been a crucial player for Los Blancos under the leadership of new manager Xabi Alonso.

Arda has three goals and three assists in eight games in all competitions for Real Madrid.

Arda Guler wanted by Tottenham & Arsenal

Sources close to the Spanish giants confirm that both the club and the player are satisfied with his progress.

The coaching staff, in particular, view Arda as a long-term project who can become a central figure at the Santiago Bernabéu in the coming years. That hasn’t stopped Europe’s top sides from circling.

Sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside that scouts from Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, Arsenal, AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund, and RB Leipzig have all been spotted at La Liga fixtures, closely monitoring Arda’s performances.

Arsenal, in particular, have long admired the Turkish playmaker, with Mikel Arteta’s side considering a move for him as early as last season. Their continued interest shows Arda’s growing reputation across Europe.

Competition within Real Madrid’s midfield is set to become fiercer with Jude Bellingham’s return from injury.

Real Madrid have no intention to sell the midfielder

However, rather than shy away, Arda is embracing the challenge. He remains fully committed to seizing every opportunity and carving out his place in Alonso’s plans.

From a financial perspective, Madrid have made their position crystal clear, Arda is not on the market. No price tag has been set because the club see him as an investment in both sporting success and long-term strategy.

While the interest from Europe’s biggest clubs is flattering, Arda’s immediate future appears firmly tied to Real Madrid. With his fitness restored, his talent undeniable, and the club’s faith unshaken, the young Turk has every reason to remain patient.

Savinho has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur in recent months.

The North London club wanted to sign the player during the summer transfer window, but they were not able to get the deal done. According to TBR Football, they were planning to return for him in January.

However, the player has now agreed a long-term contract with Manchester City in principle.

Guardiola has convinced Savinho to stay

According to the report, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola played a key role in convincing the player to commit his long-term future to the club. He has explained to the Brazilian attacker that he has a major role to play going forward. The Brazilian has decided to abandon hopes of a move away from Manchester City after hearing that he has the backing of the manager and that he is a key part of the club’s plans going forward.

Graeme Bailey said to TBR: “I am told that after the window closed, both Guardiola and Viana had lengthy talks with Savinho, where they underlined their belief to him that he has a major part to play.

“They have a huge belief in his talent and admiration for him as a person. Hearing the backing he has, Savinho has been persuaded that his future lies in Manchester.”

Tottenham need to move on from Savinho

The Tottenham transfer is now in jeopardy, and it will be interesting to see if the North London club decide to move on to other targets. They could use more cutting-edge in the final third, and signing a quality wide player would be a wise decision. The 21-year-old could have been a solid long-term investment for them. He is a tremendous talent with a bright future.

Meanwhile, Savinho needs regular gametime to continue his development. He will certainly hope that Manchester City give him more opportunities now. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them will be exciting for any player.

Regular football in England could bring out the best in the player and help him fulfil his potential.

Tottenham attacker Mikey Moore is currently on loan at Scottish club Rangers, and he has not been able to showcase his qualities so far.

The 18-year-old has struggled in the role he has been deployed in, and he is unhappy at the Scottish club. According to Football Insider, Tottenham could look to bring him back to the club in January.

Mikey Moore needs opportunities

The 18-year-old is unlikely to get first-team opportunities with the North London club, and it is fair to assume that Tottenham could send him out on loan again. Moore needs to play regularly at this stage of his career to continue his development.

Spurs should look to send him on loan to a club where he will be able to play in his preferred role. The 18-year-old is highly rated at the club, and he has a bright future ahead of him. He has the tools to develop into an important first-team player for the club with the right guidance. Spurs must handle his development carefully over the next few months.

Can Rangers keep Moore?

The Premier League side have an option to cut short his loan deal and bring him back to the club in January. It will be interesting to see what they decide over the next few weeks. Rangers are lacking in attacking depth, and they will certainly hope to keep the 18-year-old until the end of the season. However, Russell Martin will need to use him in a more favourable position to get the best out of the player.

It remains to be seen whether Rangers can get the best out of the player between now and the January window. Tottenham will hope for the best with regards to his development, and if Rangers can get the best out of the player, they might let Moore continue in Scotland.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Villarreal striker Georges Mikautadze.

The 24-year-old joined the Spanish club during the summer transfer window, and he has done reasonably well for them so far. His performances have attracted the attention of the Premier League side, and they would be willing to offer €60 million for him, as per reports via Fichajes.

Can Spurs convince Villarreal to sell Georges Mikautadze?

It will be interesting to see if the Spanish club is willing to sanction his departure in the coming months. It is no secret that Spurs need another quality striker, and Mikautadze could prove to be a useful acquisition. He has proven his quality in France, and he has shown that he has the ability to do well in Spain as well.

There is no doubt that he has the technical attributes for the Premier League. The opportunity to join Tottenham could be an exciting one for him. It would be a major step up in his career, and he would get to play alongside top-quality players at the North London club. Tottenham have an exciting project, and they are pushing for trophies. The striker might want to be a part of that.

Mikautadze was linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months.

Tottenham need Mikautadze

Dominic Solanke has not been able to score goals consistently, and Tottenham need more depth in that area of the pitch. The 24-year-old La Liga striker could compete with Solanke for the starting spot. The competition for places will help both players improve.

The Georgian scored 17 goals for Lyon last season.

It will not be easy for Tottenham to convince the Spanish club to sell the player after just a few weeks of signing him. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Spurs will need to improve their squad in January if they want to win trophies this season. A quality striker could make a big difference.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Sunderland defender, Dennis Cirkin, and a move could be possible during the January transfer window.

The 23-year-old left back was outstanding for Sunderland last season, but he has struggled for regular game time in the Premier League. The Black Cats have two left-backs ahead of him in the pecking order, and the 23-year-old wants to move on in search of regular playing time.

He will be a free agent at the end of the season, and Sunderland could look to cash in on him during the January window.

Tottenham keen on Dennis Cirkin

According to TBR Football, Tottenham are keen on the player, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. He knows the club well, and he could settle in quickly if he joins the North London club. The opportunity to return to his boyhood club will be quite exciting as well.

Graeme Bailey said: “On the chopping block, definitely. He’s seen two left-backs come in ahead of him this summer — Masuaku and Reinildo. As we’ve written previously, Cirkin is on Tottenham’s radar. He would fill a homegrown player slot, and Spurs like him regardless — he’s had real progression.”

Spurs could use Cirkin

He is likely to be available for a reasonable amount of money because of his contract situation. The deal could prove to be a bargain for Tottenham. They could use more quality and depth in the defensive unit, and the 23-year-old could be a useful option.

Tottenham have started the season well, and they need more quality and depth in the squad if they want to fight for major trophies. Bringing in the right players in January could help them improve further. The 23-year-old will give Thomas Frank more options to work with.

It will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official proposal to get the deal done in January.

Tottenham have made a good start to the season, having won five of their opening eight matches across all competitions. And this good form has been contributed to by summer signing Joao Palhinha.

Palhinha has been a much-needed addition to Thomas Frank’s squad, in that he is a specialist defensive midfielder. His performance have helped Tottenham look much better in defence, and Thomas Frank will hope that continues to be the case going forward.

Joao Palhinha wants to sign for Tottenham on permanent basis

There has already been talk of Tottenham signing Palhinha on a permanent basis from Bayern Munich, and according to Pete O’Rourke (via Football Insider), this will become more and more likely if the Portugal international continues to impress.

“I think there was obviously the option there for Tottenham to make that deal permanent. And the good thing for them is that Palhinha has had an instant impact since his arrival in North London. He’s even contributed a couple of goals already this season, which he’s not normally known for.

“I think his time at Bayern Munich remains very much uncertain right now. He struggled in his first season at the German club last year and obviously Bayern were willing to loan him out this year. It’s the £26m buy option in there for Tottenham and again that seems quite reasonable, the transfer fee as well.

“If he continues to make the impact that he’s had already it would be a no-brainer you would think for Tottenham to make that permanent arrangement. And I’m sure Palhinha himself will be very much interested in returning to the Premier League on a permanent basis.

“So, Palhinha right now just wants to continue focus on staying fit and enjoying his football with Tottenham. I think if he continues to become a key man in Thomas Frank’s team, I’m sure Tottenham will be more than happy to take up that option and sign him.”

It’s clear that Tottenham look a much better side than last season in part due to Palhinha’s presence, so if he continues to shine, it would not be surprising for him to stay in north London from next summer onwards.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison has been linked with a move away from the North London club.

According to a report from Fichajes, they would be willing to sell the player in the coming months. The 28-year-old has been inconsistent since joining the club, and even though his performances have been impressive this season, they are prepared to cash in on the Brazilian.

Richarlison could be sold

An asking price of £30 million has been reported. The player has a contract with the North London outfit until 2027, and Tottenham are looking to sell him while he still retains value. It remains to be seen where he ends up.

Brazilian club Flamengo are keen on signing the player, and there have been rumours of potential talks. The return to South America could be interesting for Richarlison. He will look to play regularly and establish himself as a key player for Flamengo. Perhaps a fresh start would be ideal for the player.

Tottenham need to replace Richarlison

Meanwhile, Tottenham are already lacking in depth in the attacking unit and letting the Brazilian leave will only weaken them further. It will be interesting to see if they can replace the player properly. They need a reliable goal scorer who can find the back of the net regularly. Dominic Solanke has not been able to do that.

Tottenham have done well to improve the squad, but they are still short in the attacking unit. They need another reliable striker, especially if the Brazilian leaves the club. It remains to be seen whether they are prepared to cash in on the South American in January or wait until the end of the season.

Tottenham have started the season well, and they will look to win trophies. They cannot weaken the squad midway through the season.

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for Harry Kane, and the player would prefer to return to the Premier League if he left the Bundesliga.

The striker has been outstanding for Bayern Munich since joining the club, and he has helped the club win the league title. He will hope to win the UEFA Champions League with them as well. It will be interesting to see if Kane decides to return to the Premier League next season.

Tottenham open to bringing Harry Kane back

As per GMS, Tottenham are reportedly open to bringing him back to the club, and manager Thomas Frank has recently revealed that he would welcome the England international. The fact that Kane wants to return to the Premier League will be a huge boost for the North London club. They will certainly fancy their chances of convincing Kane to return to the club.

Kane is a world-class player who could improve any team in the world, and he could make a huge difference for Tottenham. He would be an upgrade on Dominic Solanke, who has not been able to score goals consistently. Kane has 13 goals in seven matches this season.

Spurs move could be ideal for Kane

The 32-year-old knows the club well, and he will be able to settle in quickly. The return to his boyhood club would be ideal for him as well. He is entering the twilight stages of his career, and he will look to enjoy his football now. Returning to Tottenham could be ideal for all parties.

The North London club could use his quality and experience as they look to build a squad capable of winning trophies consistently. He is likely to cost around €60 million because of a clause in his contract, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham are prepared to pay up. They have the resources to get the deal across the line.

Tottenham have been told that Real Madrid will surely soon have an interest in signing in-form wonderkid Lucas Bergvall.

The talented 19-year-old is making a real impression at Spurs this season, picking up one goal and two assists already at this early stage of the campaign.

In general, Bergvall’s all-round play in midfield has been a joy to watch at times, and former Brentford manager Martin Allen has discussed his rise with Tottenham News.

Allen believes Real Madrid will surely soon be potential suitors for Bergvall, and it’s worth remembering that Spurs beat Barcelona to his signature when he joined.

Lucas Bergvall’s talent has been clear for some time

Sky Sports reported that Barcelona wanted Bergvall before he ended up at Tottenham, so this is clearly an elite young talent who’s already been on the radar of major clubs across Europe.

Could Real Madrid soon become a worry for Spurs? Allen clearly believes it’s something the north Londoners may have to take seriously.

“He’s got his best years ahead of him,” Allen said.

“Tottenham must have tied him down to a long-term contract because clubs like Real Madrid are going to be looking at him; they are going to be taking an interest.

“So they’re going to do well to keep hold of him, I think.”

Tottenham have previously lost some star names to Real Madrid, with Luka Modric and Gareth Bale going on to spend their peak years at the Bernabeu.

Spurs fans will hope they can avoid the same thing happening with Bergvall, who is proving to be a fantastic signing and a smart piece of business by the club.

At least if they do end up selling the Sweden international at some point, it should be for a considerably higher amount than they initially paid for him.
