Tottenham Hotspur are targeting an ambitious move to sign Marcus Rashford from Manchester United this summer, according to Football Insider.

Spurs are looking to take advantage of the situation if Rashford’s move to Aston Villa falls through, they want to bring the 27-year-old attacker to the club.

Spurs have started internal discussions about what it would take to bring Rashford to North London if his proposed move to Aston Villa collapses.

Former Manchester United and Tottenham scout Mick Brown claims that while Spurs are serious about the possibility, the deal is currently seen as highly unlikely.

“Tottenham are looking into what it would take to sign Rashford,” he told Football Insider.

“But they have to make a decision about what direction they’re going in.

“You can’t just throw a load of players in and hope it works, they need to find some stability and I don’t think that’s what Marcus would give them.

“From what I hear, he’s not convinced by that move either.

“He wants to be playing Champions League football and competing at the highest level.

“I’m also not sure he’s going to want to take a big pay cut.

“Plus, Tottenham aren’t going to pay his wages and I think that’s going to be a problem for him, because Villa won’t be paying that amount of money either.

“So it looks like it might be difficult to do, I don’t think he’ll end up at Tottenham to be honest.”

Marcus Rashford to leave Man United permanently?

One of the major stumbling blocks is Rashford’s ambition to continue playing at the highest level.

Sources close to the England international reveal he wants to feature in the Champions League, something Tottenham cannot guarantee unless they win the Europa League this season.

Additionally, Rashford’s wages at United , reportedly around £350,000 a week , present another massive obstacle.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is preparing for a busy summer, with a major focus on smart recruitment to build a squad capable of challenging consistently for Champions League qualification.

Rashford is one of the players they want but the dynamics around signing him do no support them.

The English attacker is expected to leave United permanently this summer.

West Ham United attacker Jarrod Bowen has been linked with a move away from the club, and the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are keen on securing his signature.

Bowen has come up as one of the most popular names heading into the transfer window, but the West Ham management is not keen on a sale anytime soon.

Although Liverpool and Tottenham are trying to make their moves for Bowen, West Ham are not considering selling their star player. West Ham believe in his outstanding quality and the value he adds to the team, so they are unlikely to entertain any offers for the 28-year-old England international.

Bowen’s leadership, creativity and goalscoring ability have been invaluable for Graham Potter and the Hammers on the pitch.

However, sources have revealed to CaughtOffside that the two Premier League giants could make an offer of up to €60 million for Bowen.

It will be interesting to see if they can tempt the London club into selling the player in the summer. They are already lacking quality and depth in the attack, and the departure of Bowen would be a devastating blow for them.

Tottenham and Liverpool want Jarrod Bowen

As far as Tottenham and Liverpool are concerned, they need a dynamic attacker who is capable of operating anywhere across the front three, and Bowen certainly fits the profile. He will add pace, flair, and goals to the side. He has 10 goals and nine assists this season.

The 28-year-old has proven himself in the Premier League over the years, and he might be tempted to join a big club now. Tottenham and Liverpool could provide him with the platform to fight for trophies in the coming seasons.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season.

According to a report from TBR Football, clubs from Saudi Arabia, Spain and Italy are keen on signing the International defensive midfielder. He has been linked with Aston Villa from the Premier League.

The 28-year-old has been a useful player for Tottenham since joining the club from Brighton. However, his performances have been underwhelming this season, and he has been linked with an exit. This could be the right time for Tottenham to cash in on the player and bring in an upgrade.

The report claims that the Mali International is almost certainly on his way out this summer as Tottenham prepare for a major overhaul. It has been a disappointing season for them, and they are 16th in the league table. A club of their stature should be fighting for Champions League qualification and domestic trophies.

The season has not gone according to plan for Tottenham, and they need to make changes in the summer. They are expected to bring a quality manager, and they should look to replace some of their underperformers as well.

Yves Bissouma could use a fresh start

There is no doubt that the 28-year-old defensive midfielder could be a quality player for most teams, but he has not been able to live up to expectations. At 28, he is unlikely to improve in the coming seasons. It would be ideal for Tottenham to move him on and bring in a younger and more talented alternative.

Bissouma has the quality to play in Spain and Italy. The midfielder will be desperate to get back to his best and get his career back on track as well. He will be hoping to join a competitive team, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Tottenham Hotspur have set a £50 million price tag on right-back Pedro Porro amid growing interest from Manchester City, according to Football Insider.

Man City are looking for a long term replacement of Kyle Walker and they are interested in a move for their former player Porro who is shining for Ange Postecoglou’s side this season.

Porro, who previously signed with City in 2019 but never featured for their first team, has since developed into a key player at Tottenham.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is open to selling Porro if the £50 million valuation is met, potentially paving the way for Djed Spence to assume the right-back position.

Tottenham’s valuation of Porro has fluctuated, with reports indicating a previous asking price of £80 million.

However, the current £50 million price tag reflects a more affordable figure for interested clubs.

Negotiations between the clubs are expected to be challenging, as per the report.

Despite Man City’s need of a new right-back at the club, they could find it difficult to complete a move for Tottenham’s Spanish defender.

Man City want to invest more money in the squad

After failing to win the league and the Champions League this season, Pep Guardiola is determined to spend heavily in the summer transfer window to solve the issues facing his squad.

Replacement will not only be needed for Walker but also for Kevin De Bruyne who has announced he is leaving the club at the end of the season.

While Porro could arrive at Man City this summer if Guardiola’s side step up their interest, midfielder Jack Grealish could leave for a new adventure this summer with surprise Premier League club interested in signing him.

The future of James McAtee is also uncertain at the Etihad Stadium with the youngster looking for more playing time and that could trigger a move away from the Manchester club.

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is once again at the center of transfer speculation, with a Premier League club reportedly monitoring his situation ahead of the summer window.

After struggling to win over new United boss Ruben Amorim in the early stages of the season, Rashford was sent on loan to Aston Villa in search of a fresh start and he has largely made the most of it.

In 17 appearances for Villa, the England international has delivered four goals and six assists.

With United looking to cash in on him this summer, clubs are lining up to make an offer for him.

Although the player himself would prefer a move to La Liga giants Barcelona, it remains to be seen if they are ready to make an offer for him.

According to Football Transfers, Tottenham Hotspur are monitoring Rashford’s availability should Villa choose not to make the deal permanent.

Spurs were previously linked with the Manchester United academy graduate in January but they opted for a move for Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel.

Under Ange Postecoglou, Tel has underperformed and not played according to the club’s expectations.

Marcus Rashford to Tottenham?

They have now reignited their interest in Rashford since the attacker could be available in a bargain deal this summer with the Red Devils desperate to offload him.

Should Spurs decide against triggering their own buy option for Tel, they may pivot towards Rashford, whose Premier League experience, versatility across the front line and regained form would suit the club and their playing style more.

Although Villa and Spurs have both shown interest in signing Rashford, it may come down to what the player wants this summer.

Man United have even started working on replacing Rashford at the club with interest high in Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze.

Tottenham are reportedly ready to consider the surprise sale of James Maddison if they receive the right offer this summer.

Spurs fans will perhaps have been left a bit disappointed by Maddison’s performances since he joined from Leicester City in the summer of 2023.

The England international looked like a superb talent for much of his time at the King Power Stadium, and was often tipped to get a bigger move at some point.

However, it hasn’t really worked out for Maddison at Tottenham and now Football Transfers report that he could be one to watch if suitable bids come in for him this summer.

It remains to be seen who could come in for the 28-year-old, but one imagines he is the kind of big name who could attract a fair amount of suitors.

James Maddison to seal transfer away from Tottenham?

Maddison has a decent record of 11 goals and nine assists in all competitions for Spurs this season, so he clearly still has it in him to make an impact at the highest level.

It seems Ange Postecoglou no longer views Maddison as an automatic starter, however, so it could make sense to let him go if there’s interest in him.

There would surely be a few Premier League clubs that would be happy to take Maddison, and one imagines some THFC fans might even be a bit worried about the risk of selling him.

Maddison might not be the most consistent player in the world, but he has a lot of quality and might just need a bit of confidence to start showing everyone what he’s capable of again.

It also surely hasn’t helped Maddison that Spurs in general have been really poor for much of this campaign.

Many would likely feel that there should be a change in manager before any major decisions like selling Maddison.

Tottenham are aiming to bounce back next season after a very disappointing 2024-25 campaign, and they will aim to use the transfer market to do this. It is in attack that there is expected to be significant changes, and this could include the departure of a club icon.

Heung-Min Son has been a sensational player for Tottenham since he arrived from Bayer Leverkusen 10 years ago, but there is no doubt that his level has dropped over the last 12 months. And because of this, there is a chance that he is moved on to make way for a new signing.

And that new signing could be a shock one, with Tottenham eyeing a sneak move for a player that looks destined to change clubs in the summer.

Tottenham want to sign Rashford and Tel this summer

As per FootballTransfers, Tottenham have identified Marcus Rashford as a target for the summer transfer window. They were keen to sign him in January before opting for Mathys Tel, but should Aston Villa decide again activating their buy option, there is a strong likelihood that the North London club seriously consider a move.

Rashford’s possible arrival at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium would not be dependant on whether Tel’s option to buy is activated, as Tottenham would want to have both players in the first team squad for next season, as advanced by TEAMtalk.

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City are reportedly keen on signing the Lazio defender, Mario Gila, at the end of the season

Sources have informed CaughtOffside that they will face competition from European heavyweights like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain. The 24-year-old has done quite well for the Italian club, and his performances have attracted the attention of top clubs.

The Italian outfit are prepared to let the player leave for a fee of around €40-45 million in the summer. It will be interesting to see if any of the aforementioned clubs come forward with an offer for him at the end of the season.

Tottenham could use more defensive depth on the side, especially with players like Cristian Romero linked with a potential exit. The 24-year-old Spanish defender could prove to be a quality replacement for the South American. The opportunity to move to the Premier League could be quite exciting for the defender, and he will look to prove himself in English football.

Man City want to sign Mario Gila

Similarly, Manchester City could use more quality on the side as well. It has been a disappointing season for them, and they will look to bounce back strongly with quality additions in the summer.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola appreciates Gila’s composure, passing ability and understanding of defence. Guardiola is thought to want to develop him alongside the likes of Ruben Dias and John Stones.

City’s ability to not only sign Gila, but also to create an environment that will maximise the player’s potential sets them apart from other clubs. Also, the financial strength of the English giant offers a significant advantage in the transfer race.

Meanwhile, his former club Real Madrid retain a 50% resale right that was included in the deal during Gila’s transfer to Lazio. Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich view Gila as an ideal target to add more depth to their squad. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Arsenal are reportedly in pole position to acquire French winger Kingsley Coman from Bayern Munich during the upcoming summer transfer window, according to Football Insider.

The 28-year-old, who has found himself on the periphery under manager Vincent Kompany, is entering the final two years of his contract and may be allowed to leave the Bundesliga champions-elect. ​

Coman has started just 18 of Bayern’s 37 matches this season, prompting speculation about his future at the club.

Arsenal, having previously considered a mid-season move for the French international, remain interested and are now ahead of rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the pursuit.

The Gunners and their Premier League rivals Tottenham are both interested in signing the player but Mikel Arteta’s side are leading the race to sign the Frenchman.

The Bayern Munich attacker has concerns over joining Spurs due to their inability to provide Champions League football on a consistent basis.

Arsenal, who are now in the Champions League semifinal this season, are regular participants in the Champions League.

Arsenal lead the race to sign Kingsley Coman

Saudi Pro League clubs have also expressed an interested in signing the Bayern Munich man but even they are behind the Gunners in the race to sign the 28-year-old.

Coman’s addition would offer Arsenal increased depth on the wings, providing competition for Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka.

The Bayern star is an experienced player who has won titles at Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and with the Bundesliga side.

His addition would add winning mentality to the Gunners and increase the depth of Arteta’s squad at Arsenal.

Tottenham may have to turn their attention towards signing Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo.

The North London rivals are also together in the race to sign Inter Milan’s Marcus Thuram.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Fiorentina defender Dodo at the end of the season, and they have made an enquiry regarding a summer move.

The 26-year-old has done quite well for the Italian club this season, and he has five assists in all competitions. He is capable of operating as a full-back as well as a winger. He could prove to be a quality squad player for Tottenham if they can get the deal done. The South American has been linked with Newcastle in the past.

According to a report from Spanish publication AS, Barcelona are interested in signing the Brazilian defender as well, and they are in pole position to secure his signature. The reported asking price is around €25 million, and it is fair to assume that Tottenham have the resources to get the deal done.

They have failed to sign the player in the past, and it remains to be seen whether they can succeed this time around.

Tottenham could use Dodo

They could use more quality and depth in the squad, and Brazilian could prove to be a superb acquisition. He is at the peak of his powers, and he could be tempted to move to the Premier League. It would be a major step up in his career, and he will look to establish himself as a key player for the London club.

The 26-year-old has proven himself in Italy, and he has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in English football as well. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can convince the defender to join them instead of Barcelona. South American players tend to prefer a move to La Liga, and Barcelona are one of the biggest clubs in the world.

Both clubs have the finances to get the deal across the line, and the move might come down to the player’s preference in the end.
