Just in: Tottenham stun rivals Arsenal by entering talks to sign their target - CaughtOffside
Description

Tottenham Hotspur have revived their interest in Eberechi Eze, with fresh talks underway for the Crystal Palace playmaker in a deal separate from their ongoing pursuit of Savinho.

According to transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano, Spurs have returned to the table for Eze as they look to strengthen their attacking options following James Maddison’s injury and the departure of Son Heung-min.

Eze has been on Tottenham’s radar for some time and is understood to be open to the move.

The England international’s creativity and eye for goal is highly valued by the officials at Spurs and now they have stepped up their interest in signing the Crystal Palace star.

Tottenham revive interest in Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze

However, negotiations will not be straightforward. His release clause expired earlier in the window, meaning any deal now depends entirely on Crystal Palace’s willingness to sell, and they are under no pressure to let their star man go cheaply.

Adding to the intrigue is Arsenal’s ongoing interest in Eze. The Gunners have been monitoring him closely, although they have still not made a move for the Palace star.

The Gunners admire Eze and the latest move from Tottenham could spark a transfer battle between the two London rivals.

Spurs needs a replacement of Maddison and Son

For Spurs, the urgency is clear. Maddison’s absence leaves a creative void in midfield, while Son’s exit has stripped the squad of one of its most consistent attacking threats.

Eze has consistently shown his goal scoring and creative talent for the Eagles. The 27-year-old scored 14 goals last season and provided 11 assists.

Eze has helped Palace won FA Cup and Community Shield successes during his highly influential spell at Selhurst Park.

It remains to be seen who will win the race for Eze’s signature but the latest move from Tottenham is set to ring alarm bells at the Emirates Stadium.

James McAtee keen on Tottenham Hotspur move

Report: Attacker with a special ‘sense of goal’ waiting for Tottenham to move for him - CaughtOffside
Description

James McAtee has been linked with the move away from Manchester City, and he’s waiting to join Tottenham Hotspur.

According to a report from GMS, the 22-year-old is now waiting for the north London club to make their move for him after being made aware of their interest in him. He wants to play regularly next season, and moving to Spurs could be ideal for him.

West Ham keen on McAtee as well.

Spurs could use McAtee

Tottenham need more quality and depth in the attacking unit as well. James Maddison is sidelined with ACL damage, and McAtee could be the ideal alternative. He can operate, and he can slot into the wide areas as well. He will help create opportunities and find the back of the net.

Pep Guardiola has labelled him as a player with a special sense of goal. Tottenham could use someone with that skill set who will score goals consistently from the middle of the park.

He said: “Macca lives close to the box, quite similar to Phil and they are there. They have a sense of goal, it’s difficult to train in the moment the ball is coming and after he didn’t score but it’s fine. As much minutes he plays he will score.”

Meanwhile, regular football at the north London club could help the 22-year-old improve further and fulfil his tremendous potential. He has the attributes to develop into a future Premier League star.

James McAtee asking price is set

The 22-year-old is likely to cost around £40 million this summer. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to pay up. It is fair to assume that a club with their resources can afford him. However, it would not be a surprise if they try to negotiate a more reasonable deal. They are aware of the fact that the player wants to leave Manchester City, and Daniel Levy could look to sign him on a bargain.

Furthermore, he has entered the final 12 months of his contract, and Manchester City are under pressure to sell him. They will not want to lose a player of his potential on a free transfer.

Tottenham news: £40m enough to sign James Maddison replacement

Tottenham quoted £40m to sign James Maddison replacement - CaughtOffside
Description

Tottenham are expected to move to sign a new attacking midfielder in the coming weeks, following news of James Maddison’s ACL injury. The club’s failure to complete a deal for Morgan Gibbs-White means that a replacement is necessary, given that Dejan Kulusevski is also currently ruled out.

Money is there for Tottenham to spend, given that they have completed few deals during the summer transfer window. And some of those funds could now be used towards Harvey Elliott, who, head coach Thomas Frank would be very keen on bringing to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Liverpool set asking price for Tottenham target Harvey Elliott

As per Football Insider, Pete O’Rourke has confirmed that Liverpool are opening to selling Elliott this summer, and they are prepared to accept a fee as low as £40m.

“Reluctantly, Liverpool would consider letting Elliott go for the right fee. There’s been talk of £40m plus a buy-back clause, or a £50m fee without a buy-back clause. RB Leipzig seem to be the ones leading the chase for Elliott right now, and they’ve opened talks with Liverpool to discuss a potential deal for the 22-year-old.

“If Tottenham are in the market for attacking midfielders, Harvey Elliott would be somebody who would figure high up their list. It could be an astute signing if they were to get him, but it does seem that other clubs are further advanced in the pursuit of Elliott, rather than Spurs.”

A deal for Elliott would make a lot of sense for Tottenham, as he would be afforded the regular playing time needed to start delivering on the potential he has shown in recent years. For now, it remains to be seen whether Liverpool are approached by the north Londoners, but given RB Leipzig’s interest, they could be running out of time.

Tottenham nightmare: Midfield star faces lengthy spell on sidelines after devastating injury

Tottenham nightmare: Midfield star faces lengthy spell on sidelines after devastating injury - CaughtOffside
Description

Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt a significant setback ahead of the new campaign, with influential midfielder James Maddison set to miss the majority of the season after suffering a serious knee injury.

According to BBC, the 28-year-old England international has sustained damage to his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and will undergo surgery in the coming days.

The injury occurred during Tottenham’s recent pre-season fixture against Newcastle United in South Korea.

Tottenham star James Maddison suffers major injury blow

Maddison was seen collapsing in visible pain after a non-contact incident, immediately clutching his knee and requiring on-field attention from the medical team.

Fans feared the worst at the time, those fears have now been confirmed, with scans revealing a ruptured ACL in his right knee.

Maddison’s upcoming surgery will mark the beginning of a lengthy recovery journey, one that could see him miss most, if not all, of the 2025/26 season.

Typical rehabilitation for ACL injuries ranges from six to nine months, depending on the severity of the damage and the progress of recovery.

For Tottenham, it means preparing for the campaign without one of their creative players.

Spurs will miss Maddison in a challenging season

Maddison had been expected to play a crucial role under manager Thomas Frank, especially with Tottenham eager to mount a serious challenge for European qualification.

Spurs would also be involved in the Champions League next season after their Europa League win confirmed their qualification to Europe’s elite competition.

This injury also casts a shadow over Maddison’s international prospects. With players preparing for the World Cup next year and hoping to perform well in order to win a place in the national side, Maddison’s chances to represent England next summer have taken a huge hit.

Tottenham offered the chance to sign Rafael Leao from AC Milan

“However, I have spoken to Milan, and nothing is happening. They do have a new manager, but I am told that even though Massimiliano Allegri has just come through the door, he is firm on his stance that Leao stays.”

Rafael Leao would improve Spurs

It is no secret that Tottenham need more depth in the attacking unit, especially after the departure of Son Heung-min. Leao had 12 goals and 13 assists to his name this past season. The Portuguese International has the qualities to improve them, and he has the physical and technical attributes to do well in English football as well. However, he has no interest in a move to the Premier League right now, and Spurs will find it very difficult to change that stance.

It would be ideal for Tottenham to move on to the targets. They need to invest in a dynamic attacker who will be able to slot into the wide areas and operate centrally as well. Dominic Solanke was quite mediocre in the attack last season, and he needs more support in the attack.

Liverpool rumoured “favourites” to sign 25-G/A star, journalist shares latest on the situation - CaughtOffside
Description

Rodrygo Goes could be on his way out of Real Madrid this summer, and he has been linked with multiple English clubs.

Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on the player. The 24-year-old could be sold this summer as Real Madrid look to raise funds.

No offers for Rodrygo Goes yet

According to Ben Jacobs, none of the English clubs have submitted an offer to sign the player yet, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops. He has also revealed that the rumours of Liverpool being favourites to sign the player are just that.

He said: “We’re hearing a lot of Liverpool are moving. They’re the favourites. Tottenham have made a bid. They’re the front-runners. Chelsea are interested. But actually, those on the Rodrygo side haven’t held any talks with any of these clubs, and Real Madrid, as of now haven’t got a single bid from a single club.”

Liverpool need someone like Rodrygo

Liverpool could use the 24-year-old next season, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for him. They are closing in on the sale of Darwin Nunez, and they need to replace him. Signing a dynamic attacker like Rodrygo would be a wise decision. He will be able to slot into multiple attacking roles, and he will add goals and creativity to the side.

The Brazilian scored 14 goals last season and picked up 11 assists as well. He will only improve with coaching and experience, and he could develop into a world-class player for Liverpool.

The Reds have been heavily linked with Alexander Isak as well. It is fair to assume that they are unlikely to move for the Brazilian if they manage to sign the Newcastle United Star. The Swedish International appears to be the first-choice target for Liverpool right now. They have already indicated that they would be willing to break the British transfer record for him.

It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

Report: Tottenham are now expected to submit offer for number one target this week - CaughtOffside
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve their attacking unit with the signing of Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid.

Son Heung-min has decided to move to the MLS, and they need to replace him. Signing the Brazilian could prove to be the ideal acquisition. According to a report from Cadena Ser, Tottenham have identified the 24-year-old Brazilian as their number one target, and they are prepared to submit an offer for him this week.

Spurs set to submit Rodrygo Goes offer

They are likely to present a proposal of €60 million for the Brazilian. It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid are prepared to accept it. They could be open to the departure of the South American attacker. They have brought in multiple players this summer, and they are now looking to free up some space in the squad.

In addition to that, the opportunity to move to the Premier League could be exciting for the player as well. He might not be a regular starter for Real Madrid next season, and he needs to play regularly at this stage of his career. Tottenham will be able to provide him with that opportunity.

Rodrygo would improve Spurs

He is capable of slotting into multiple attacking roles, and Rodrygo will improve Spurs going forward. They need players of his quality and experience if they want to fight for major trophies in the near future. Rodrygo has won several major trophies during his time at Real Madrid, and he knows what it takes to compete at the highest level.

He is also relatively young, and he could improve further with coaching and experience. He could develop into a world-class player for the north London outfit. It will be interesting to see if they can wrap up the move quickly.

Description

Tottenham Hotspur are now reportedly considering a move for Brahim Diaz during the summer transfer window.

The 26-year-old Moroccan has been linked with a move away from Real Madrid, and Tottenham would do well to secure his signature.

According to Fichajes, the player is on Thomas Frank’s wishlist this summer. Arsenal are keen on Diaz as well.

Spurs could use Brahim Diaz

They need more quality and depth in the final third, and Diaz could prove to be an excellent addition. He is capable of operating in multiple attacking roles, and he will add gold and creativity to the side.

Diaz has played for big clubs like Real Madrid and AC Milan. He knows what it takes to compete at the highest level regularly. He has played in the Premier League before with Manchester City as well. He might be able to settle in quickly and make an instant impact at the north London club.

Diaz managed to win the Premier League title during his time at Manchester City, but he never managed to establish himself as an important player for them. He will look to prove his qualities in the Premier League this time. It will be interesting to see if Spurs can get the deal done.

Spurs move would be ideal for Diaz

The 26-year-old scored six goals and picked up eight assists last season. Regular football at Tottenham could help him improve further and fulfil his potential. He is at the peak of his career, and he needs to join a club where he will be playing regularly. Real Madrid will not be able to provide him with that opportunity, and leaving them would be ideal for his development.

Tottenham weighing up summer move for Conor Gallagher

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid during the summer transfer window.

According to Pete O’Rourke on Football Insider, they are looking at the 25-year-old midfielder this summer, and it will be interesting to see if they come forward with an offer to sign him.

Spurs keen on Conor Gallagher

They have tried to sign the former Chelsea midfielder in the past. He is a long-term target for them, and they would do well to secure his signature.

Gallagher has proven his quality in England, and he has done reasonably well in Spain as well. He could prove to be an excellent acquisition. Tottenham need more work rate, defensive cover, and physicality in the middle of the park. The 25-year-old could be the ideal fit for them. He could form a solid partnership with the likes of Pape Matar Sarr and Joao Palhinha.

It will be interesting to see if the midfielder is willing to return to England this summer.

Gallagher to replace Yves Bissouma?

Meanwhile, the report also claims that Yves Bissouma could be on his way out of Tottenham. It seems that Gallagher could be an alternative to the African. Bissouma had an underwhelming season last time out, and replacing him might not be a bad idea.

“I’m not surprised that Tottenham are looking at [Gallagher] to try and bolster that midfield”, O’Rourke told Football Insider.

“It seems more than likely that Yves Bissouma could be moved on, and that midfield at Tottenham is a bit light right now.

“So, they could be looking for options to strengthen it, and Conor Gallagher would tick a lot of boxes.”

Tottenham need to plug the weaknesses in their squad this summer, and signing a quality central midfielder will be one of their priorities. They should look to invest in a reliable centre forward as well.

Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher has been linked with a return to the Premier League, and Tottenham Hotspur are ready to sign him.

According to Football Insider, the midfielder is valued at £40 million, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to pay up.

Spurs are long-term admirers

They tried to sign Morgan Gibbs white from Nottingham Forest earlier this summer, but the player has decided to sign a new deal with the club, and Tottenham are now looking at other options.

They have tried to sign Gallagher in the past, and it will be interesting to see if they can bring the former Chelsea midfielder back to England. The 25-year-old has the physicality and technical attributes to do well for Tottenham, and he could be an excellent acquisition.

Spurs need Conor Gallagher

They need more physicality, defensive cover, and drive in the middle of the park. The England International could be the ideal acquisition for them. He is at the peak of his career, and he knows the Premier League well. Gallagher could make an instant impact at Tottenham. The opportunity to join the Champions League club would be exciting for the player as well.

Tottenham have the resources to pay the asking price, and Gallagher has the qualities to justify the investment as well. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.

Tottenham will be hoping to do well in the Premier League next season after finishing close to the relegation zone last time out. They need quality signings in order to bounce back.

They have managed to win the UEFA Europa League last season, and that makes them an attractive destination for players. It remains to be seen whether Gallagher is prepared to join them in the coming weeks.
