Report: Tottenham genuinely interested in signing Manchester City ace with 32 goals & 41 assists - CaughtOffside
Description

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for Manchester City attacker Jack Grealish this summer, as doubts grow over his future at the Etihad.

Grealish first rose to prominence at Aston Villa, captaining the club and playing a pivotal role in their promotion to the Premier League in 2019.

Across 213 appearances for Villa, he notched 32 goals and 41 assists, earning a record-breaking £100 million transfer to Manchester City in 2021—making him the most expensive British footballer at the time.

However, the 29-year-old has struggled to justify his hefty price tag at City. Pep Guardiola’s possession-based system has limited his ability to take on defenders and dictate play, unlike his more central and free-roaming role at Villa.

Injuries and increased competition, especially from players like Jeremy Doku, have further made it difficult for him to cement a regular starting spot.

This season, Grealish has made just 26 appearances across all competitions, scoring twice and providing five assists. More tellingly, only 14 of those appearances have come as a starter, underlining his diminished role in the squad.

Tottenham have genuine interest in Jack Grealish

His lack of impact and reduced role has made his future at the club uncertain, with Spurs emerging as a potential destination.

As per the latest from GiveMeSport, Tottenham had already shown interest in Grealish during the January window, though a move then was deemed unlikely.

However, key figures at Spurs reportedly hold a ‘genuine’ interest in the player and would be keen to sign him this summer—provided City’s asking price is reasonable.

A deal, though, would be far from straightforward. Grealish’s £300,000-per-week wages pose a significant hurdle, while City are unlikely to let him leave on the cheap.

Additionally, Tottenham face competition from Chelsea, who have also been linked, while Newcastle have reportedly been offered the chance to sign him.

With Grealish’s role at City continuing to diminish, speculation over his exit is intensifying. Whether Spurs can pull off the signing remains to be seen, but all signs point to the England international being on the move this summer.

“They would love to bring him in”: Romano reveals Tottenham want to sign Man City target - CaughtOffside
Description

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City want to sign Tyler Dibling from Southampton at the end of the season.

Southampton are set to go down to the Championship at the end of the season, and the 19-year-old attacker is likely to be on the move. He is one of the finest young talents in the Premier League right now, and it is no surprise that top clubs want to sign him.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the player is Tottenham’s top target heading into the summer window, and they would love to secure his signature.

Romano said to GMS: “At the moment, I can confirm that for Tottenham, he’s kind of their top target.

“They love the player, they would love to bring him in in the summer transfer window – but again, it’s not going to be super easy.

It remains to be seen whether they can beat the competition from Manchester City. The Premier League defending champions certainly have more financial resources compared to the London club, and they have a more ambitious project as well.

The 19-year-old could be attracted to the idea of joining both clubs, and it remains to be seen where he ends up. He will want to compete at a high level, and the likes of Tottenham and Manchester City will be able to provide him with the platform he needs. They could help him compete in Europe and fight for trophies.

Tyler Dibling would be an expensive addition

It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can secure an agreement with Southampton. The Saints value the player at £100 million, and it is highly unlikely that any club would be willing to pay that kind of money for the youngster. He is relatively unproven at the highest level, and Southampton will have to be more realistic with their demands in order for the move to go through.

Tottenham and Manchester City need more depth in the wide areas, and the 19-year-old will add pace, flair and unpredictability to their attack. He is already a reliable performer in the English top flight, and he will only improve with coaching and experience.

88% pass accuracy, 6 duels won: Palace must keep Tottenham-linked star after FA Cup heroics - CaughtOffside
Description

Crystal Palace secured their place in the semifinals of the FA Cup with a 3-0 win away from home against Fulham earlier today.

The Eagles put on a splendid showing against their rivals, and they will be delighted to head to Wembley for the semifinals. This is a golden opportunity for them to win a trophy this season and it will be interesting to see if the Eagles can continue to perform at a high-level in the remaining matches of the tournament.

Meanwhile, midfielder Eberechi Eze put on an outstanding performance for his team in the quarter-finals, and he managed to score a goal and pick up and assist as well. The 26-year-old England international not only helped his team in the final third, but he was equally impressive defensively as well. He helped his team out with his defensive contribution throughout the game, and he managed to win six ground duels. He produced three tackles and an interception as well.

The midfielder was excellent with his playmaking in the final third, completing 88% of his passes.

Tottenham keen on Eberechi Eze

The player has been heavily linked with a move away from Crystal Palace in recent months, with clubs like Tottenham keeping tabs on him. It will be interesting to see if the North London outfit decides to make a move for him at the end of the season.

They could use more creativity and technical ability in the final third. Eze will add some much-needed unpredictability to their attack with his flair as well.

Based on his performance against Fulham in a big game today and his displays throughout the season, Crystal Palace simply cannot afford to lose a player of his calibre if they want to establish themselves as a top-half team. Palace managed to ward off his suitors in January.

It remains to be seen whether they can convince the player to stay at the club beyond this season. Perhaps winning a trophy could showcase their ambitions and convince the midfielder to stay.

Tottenham “most likely” to sign England international amid extensive competition - CaughtOffside
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the LOSC Lille midfielder Angel Gomes at the end of the season.

The 24-year-old midfielder will be a free agent in the summer, and he has decided not to renew his contract with the French outfit. He will move on as a free agent, and multiple clubs are keen on securing his signature in the summer.

He has been heavily linked with a return to the Premier League, and it remains to be seen whether the former Manchester United Academy graduate decides to return to England. The opportunity to play in the Premier League could be an exciting one for him.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on securing his signature, and Dean Jones believes that they are the most likely club as far as his next destination is concerned.

Speaking on the Ranks FC podcast, Jones said: “I do believe that Tottenham are the most likely club to get this done if he [Gomes] comes to England. Now, it’s worth bearing in mind, he does have offers outside of England too.

“I haven’t been given any firm names on who they are, but I’m told he has very good profile clubs interested in him from Spain and Germany.”

Angel Gomes would improve Spurs

Gomes has proven his quality in Ligue 1, and he has the technical attributes to do well in the Premier League as well. He has impressed at the international level with the England national team as well.

He will want to establish himself as a top-class midfielder, and moving to the Premier League will certainly help his cause. Regular football in England could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his potential.

Tottenham need more creativity and technical ability in the final third, and the 24-year-old could compete with James Maddison for the starting spot. He will help create scoring opportunities for his teammates and open up deep defences with his flair, vision, and passing.

Tottenham want “exceptional” Premier League star to replace first-team mainstay - CaughtOffside
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi at the end of the season.

The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the best central defenders in the Premier League, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition. According to a report from Fichajes, Cristian Romero could be on his way out of the club, and Tottenham are looking at potential replacements for him.

They believe that Guehi could be the most suitable option to replace the Argentine international. The 24-year-old has shown his quality in the Premier League over the years with Crystal Palace, and he has been labelled “exceptional” by the former England manager, Garreth Southgate.

Marc Guehi must join a big club now

He has the qualities to compete at a high level and play for a big club. The opportunity to move to Tottenham will be quite exciting for him, and he will want to compete in European football and fight for trophies with them. However, Crystal Palace are unlikely to let him leave for cheap, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham are prepared to pay a substantial amount of money for him. The player is on the radar of Liverpool as well.

This is the right time for the England international defender to take a new step in his career and join a bigger club. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. He is a proven performer in the Premier League and he will look to hit the ground running at Tottenham if the move goes through.

Ideally, Tottenham will not want to lose Romero in the summer, but they could be powerless to stop him from leaving if the defender decides to force an exit amid interest from top clubs.

Tottenham want 15-G/A utility man with “all the ability in the world” to replace key star - CaughtOffside
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo at the end of the season.

The Ghanaian International has done quite well for the Cherries this season, and he has nine goals and six assists to his name across all competitions.

According to a report from Fichajes, he has been identified as a potential option to replace club legend Son Heung-min. He has been linked with Arsenal and Chelsea as well.

The 25-year-old has the qualities to compete at the highest level, and he could be an important sign for Tottenham in the long term. He has shown his ability with Bournemouth, and he will only improve with coaching and experience.

Semenyo is versatile enough to operate as a wide player as well as a centre forward. His ability to create goal-scoring opportunities and find the back of the net with regularity could make him an asset for the North London club.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can negotiate a reasonable deal to sign him. The player is highly rated in the Premier League and his teammate Lewis Cook believes that he is a player with “all the ability in the world”.

Tottenham move would be ideal for Antoine Semenyo

The attacker is entering the peak years of his career, and he will want to play for a club where he will be able to challenge for major trophies. Tottenham will be able to provide him with that platform. They could help him compete in European football as well. Joining Tottenham would be a major step up in his career, and this could be the right time for him to try out a new challenge.

Son has been an exceptional performer for Tottenham over the years, but he is in the twilight stages of his career and Tottenham need to plan for a future without him. The 25 year old Premier League attacker could be the ideal alternative.

Report: A change of heart at Tottenham could now see them sell their star player - CaughtOffside
Description

Tottenham Hotspur could be set for a major defensive shake-up this summer, with vice-captain Cristian Romero’s future at the club now uncertain.

Despite being under contract until 2027, speculation is growing over a potential exit—a significant shift from Spurs’ earlier stance on securing his long-term future.

The club had initially been keen to secure Romero’s long-term future, recognizing his leadership and defensive prowess. Reports have even stated that the club is willing to make him their highest-paid player.

Tottenham now considering selling Cristian Romero

However, as per the latest report from GiveMeSport, Tottenham may now be open to offers, with Atletico Madrid leading the chase for his signature.

The report claims that Diego Simeone is pushing for Atletico to sign the World Cup winner, with the Spanish giants already making contact with Romero’s camp over a possible summer move.

Atletico are reportedly prepared to offer around £33 million—far below Tottenham’s valuation—making a deal unlikely unless a more suitable bid is tabled.

Cristian Romero has grown frustrated at Tottenham of late

Romero, who initially joined Spurs on loan from Atalanta in 2021 before making the move permanent a year later, has been a key figure in Tottenham’s backline. His aggressive, no-nonsense defending and leadership qualities saw him named vice-captain ahead of the 2023–24 season.

However, injuries have plagued his campaign. A hamstring issue sidelined him for nearly three months before he returned in a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth earlier this month. So far, he has been limited to just 17 appearances across all competitions.

The player has been left upset with the way his injuries have been managed by the club. He has also admitted to be unhappy with the current situation of the club and has also criticised the Spurs hierarchy earlier in the season. All of this has added to the uncertainty surrounding his career.

Despite his fitness struggles, Romero’s pedigree remains unquestionable. He played a crucial role in Argentina’s Copa América and World Cup triumphs, proving himself as one of the best defenders in world football.

With the summer transfer window approaching, Spurs now face a key decision: hold on to a defender who, when fit, is one of the league’s best—or cash in and reshape their backline. One thing is certain, Romero’s future will be a major talking point in the coming months.

Report: Daniel Levy holds meeting as Tottenham make major move to sign former Juventus man - CaughtOffside
Description

Tottenham are gearing up for a crucial summer, with changes anticipated both in the squad and the backroom staff.

After a season full of challenges, the club is focused on restructuring to ensure they can become compete at the highest level again.

A major decision in the works is the potential return of former managing director Fabio Paratici, who could play a significant role in Tottenham’s rebuild.

Daniel Levy makes move to bring back Fabio Paratici to Tottenham

Reports from Radio Rossoneri suggest that Spurs have made major move, with Levy meeting Paratici on Thursday to discuss a potential return.

As per the report, Spurs are ready to make a substantial offer to Paratici, aiming to lure him back and block AC Milan’s efforts to secure him as their new sporting director. However, they have said to have given him a tight deadline to come up with a response.

The meeting between the pair indicates Tottenham’s serious intent to re-hire him in an official capacity, just two years after his departure.

Paratici’s credentials in football management are well-established. He began his career as a scout and recruitment expert at Sampdoria before rising to prominence at Juventus. Over 11 years in Turin, he played a crucial part in constructing a dominant squad that secured nine consecutive Serie A titles and reached two Champions League finals.

In 2021, Paratici brought his expertise to Spurs as their managing director of football, where he helped transform the squad. His influence was key in securing Antonio Conte as head coach, along with signings such as Cristian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski, and Rodrigo Bentancur—players who made an immediate impact on the team.

Having served an 18-month suspension due to financial irregularities during his time at Juventus, Paratici is now free to return to the game.

If Tottenham finalizes his comeback, his extensive knowledge of European football could be vital in strengthening the squad and, if necessary, identifying a new manager.

Tottenham favourites to sign winger wanted by Man United and Liverpool - CaughtOffside
Description

Tottenham will be in the market for a new winger during the summer transfer window, and they appear well-placed to sign one of their leading targets – that being Southampton and English youth international Tyler Dibling.

Dibling has had a very impressive breakthrough season in the Premier League, despite Southampton’s struggles. He has four goals and two assists across all competitions, and while he has only registered two goals in the league, his overall performances have caught the interest of many clubs.

Man United and Liverpool have both held talks with Dibling’s representatives in recent weeks, but despite this, Tottenham are said to be in the best position to complete a summer deal for the 19-year-old.

Tottenham in pole position to sign Tyler Dibling

According to Football Insider, Tottenham have held preliminary talks over a deal to sign Dibling, and on the back of these, it is believed that the North London club are now in pole position to complete the summer signing of the winger.

Southampton have reportedly set an asking price of £100m for Dibling in an attempt to ward off suitors, but the belief is that a deal can be completed for significant less. The teenager will only have two years remaining on his current deal by the time the summer comes around, so there is some pressure on the Saints to sell now while his value is at a high point.

It looks like being a busy summer for Dibling, who could end up being involved in one of the sagas of the transfer window. With a considerable number of Premier League clubs said to be vying for his signature, any operation could take weeks to complete, and this interest only plays into the hands of Southampton, who are aiming to secure a very lucrative transfer fee.

Moise Kean’s name has been making the rounds in the transfer market over the past few days, with clubs like Tottenham, Arsenal, and Aston Villa all linked with a potential move for the Fiorentina striker.

The Italian press has been fueling the speculation, with Kean’s resurgence in Serie A after a difficult spell in England with Everton being the reason for the spark in interest.

A loan spell at PSG offered a brief resurgence, despite being pushed out wide to accommodate Mauro Icardi up front. But when he returned to Juventus, things unravelled again. He failed to live up to expectations, and his second stint in Turin ended with little fanfare.

Exclusive: Man United plotting move for 24-year-old German midfielder

That’s when Fiorentina stepped in, offering him a fresh start. In Florence, Kean has looked like a player reborn and has found his scoring touch again, becoming a far more clinical and composed presence in front of goal.

Playing as the focal point of a dynamic Fiorentina attack, he’s thriving in a system that finally suits him.

His performances this season have caught the eye, and with a €52 million release clause in his contract, it’s no surprise that several clubs are keeping tabs on him.

Moise Kean release clause revealed amid Premier League interest

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Tottenham are ‘constantly monitoring’ the 25-year-old, while Arsenal and Newcastle United are also keeping a close watch.

Napoli have now entered the conversation as well, with suggestions that they could make a move for him in the summer.
