Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Real Sociedad winger Takefusa Kubo.

The 23-year-old winger has attracted the attention of the top European clubs with his performances for the La Liga club, and it will be interesting to see if the likes of Liverpool at Tottenham can lure him away from Spain.

As per Fichajes, the winger has a €60 million release clause in his contract, and it will be interesting to see if the English clubs are willing to pay up. Real Sociedad are unlikely to let him leave for cheap. He is a key player for them, and he has a contract with the club until the summer of 2029.

Liverpool could certainly use a young winger like him, especially if Mohamed Salah decides to move on. Kubo operates in a similar role to that of the Egyptian international. He has attributes to develop into a top quality player in future and he could be an asset for Liverpool in the long term.

Meanwhile, Tottenham could look to add more depth to their attacking unit. The 23-year-old will certainly add unpredictability to their attack. He has shown his quality in Spanish football, and there is no doubt that he has the technical attributes to make a big difference in the Premier League as well.

Kubo might fancy Premier League switch

The opportunity to play in England could be quite attractive for the Japanese international and it remains to be seen where he ends up. Both clubs will be attractive destinations for him. They could provide him with the platform to fight for major trophies in the coming seasons.

Liverpool and Tottenham need to improve their squads if they want to fight for major trophies consistently and signings like Kubo will certainly help them progress.

Tottenham have been linked with a move for former Manchester United midfielder Angel Gomes next summer.

With his current contract expiring in the summer, the player will be free to speak to other clubs in January ahead of a potential free transfer in the summer.

Spurs insider John Wenham has now backed the club to sign a pre-contract with the player as his current contract with Lille comes close to expiration.

Gomes is an exciting young talent who has been on the radar of several clubs recently. A product of Manchester United academy, Gomes made his first-team debut at just 16 years old, displaying his flair and technical ability. However, he struggled to secure a regular spot in the senior side, and was eventually moved to Ligue 1 with Lille in 2020, where he was given a fresh platform to grow.

His performances in the 2022-23 season, showed his ability to play in a competitive league, further developing his game and earning a reputation as one of the brightest young players in Europe.

A versatile attacking midfielder, Gomes has the ability to operate in central or wide positions, adding dynamism to any team.

John Wenham says Tottenham could agree a pre-contract with Angel Gomes

He has started to attract interest from several top clubs, including Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea. Tottenham insider, John Wenham has backed the club to sign a pre-contract with him despite interest from London rivals.

Speaking to Tottenham News, the club insider said:

“Gomes would count as homegrown, as he came through Manchester United’s academy.

“He would be available on a free transfer next summer. Therefore, Tottenham could agree a pre-contract with him in January.

“By signing him for free and agreeing a five-year contract with him, he would be worth £15million right away, simply based on the value attached to that contract.”

Tottenham have been said to be interested in signing another midfielder, despite having the likes of Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray. And Gomes could turn out to be a decent signing for Ange’s side.

Tottenham defender Pedro Porro has admitted to being happy with the rumours linking him to some of “the best clubs in the world” as uncertainty continues to grow around his future in North London.

The full-back arrived at Spurs in 2023 as part of €45m deal with Sporting CP and has grown to become a fan favourite at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium due to his very attacking style of play.

The Spanish star has proven to be one of the most dangerous full-backs in Europe going forward and across the 67 appearances he has made for Tottenham, the 25-year-old has contributed eight goals and 12 assists.

Porro has a contract in North London until 2028 but that has not stopped the right-back from being linked with a move away next summer.

Real Madrid are in the market to strengthen the right side of their defence and following the long-term injury to Dani Carvajal, Porro is one of the names being linked to the La Liga champions – although Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold tops Los Blancos‘ list.

Man City are another interested in the 25-year-old as they look for a successor to Kyle Walker at the Etihad Stadium.

In a recent interview, Porro has acknowledged these rumours and his words don’t bode well for his future at Tottenham.

Tottenham star Pedro Porro acknowledges exit rumours

Speaking in an interview with El Desmarque, Porro admitted to being aware of the rumours linking him away from Tottenham and essentially stated that he is happy to be associated with “the best clubs in the world.”

“My friends send me the rumours, it is a compliment… but I am focused on Spurs and the national team,” the defender said via Fabrizio Romano. “It is the result of a job well done if one of the best clubs in the world is taking notice of me.”

It is unlikely that Tottenham will allow one of their best players to leave next summer as the North London club continues to try and close the gap to the top of the Premier League and if they do, it will not come cheap for the Spaniard’s suitors.

Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on the move in 2025 for Argentine playmaker Facundo Buonanotte, who is enjoy a fine start to the Premier League season with Leicester City. The 19-year-old, who is currently on loan at the King Power Stadium from Brighton and Hove Albion, has three goals and two assists in nine appearances so far this campaign.

Buonanotte left Brighton during the summer in order to play regular first team football. He was linked with Feyenoord and Celtic, but he opted to remain in the Premier League with Leicester, whom he has thrived with the last three months.

His form has led to transfer speculation increasing, and Tottenham are one of the clubs that have registered their interest. There has been doubts about the performances of James Maddison in recent weeks, and Buonanotte is someone that could compete sufficiently with the England international.

Brighton determined to keep Buonanotte as asking price set

According to Fichajes, Brighton would only consider selling Buonanotte if they were to receive an offer of €50m – this is significantly higher than his market valuation, which is set at €18m. Nevertheless, it shows how highly the teenager is valued at the AMEX Stadium, where he has been (prior to this season) since joining from Rosario Central in January 2023.

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a surprise move for the Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish.

The 29-year-old has struggled for game time at Manchester City this season and he has been linked with a move away from the club. According to football transfers, Tottenham director Johan Lange has held talks regarding a potential move for the England international.

He has been linked with a return to Aston Villa as well.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to make a move for him in the coming weeks. The 29-year-old could be a quality player for them if he manages to regain his confidence and sharpness. However, Tottenham already have players like James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Son Heung-min, who are capable of operating in a role similar to that of him. Jack Grealish might struggle for regular game time at the North London club as well.

The 29-year-old needs to join a club where he will play regularly. He is at the peak of his powers and regular football could bring out the best in him once again. He was highly rated in the Premier League during his time at Aston Villa. However, he has not managed to reach that level in recent seasons.

Man City must accept a substantial loss

Manchester City paid around £100 million to sign the player from Aston Villa and it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to sanction his departure in the coming months. Spurs will not want to pay a premium for him, and the Premier League champions might have to cut their losses on the player and sanction his departure for a knockdown price.

Johan Lange was the director at Aston Villa when Grealish joined Manchester City and it remains to be seen whether he can play a crucial role in bringing the player to Tottenham now. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Sergio Reguilon wants to leave the club in January so that he can play regular first-team football once again.

The 27-year-old defender has not been included in the Premier League or Europa League matchday squads at Tottenham Hotspur this season, and he plans to terminate his contract with the club in January, sources have informed CaughtOffside.

Reguilon is looking for a new challenge where he can gain more playing time and regain his peak form.

Sevilla, where Reguilon previously spent a successful loan spell, want to bring him back to La Liga. The club value his experience and see him as an important addition to their defence as they aim to strengthen their squad for the second half of the season.

Getafe are also interested in acquiring Reguilon on a free transfer. Both clubs are ready to start negotiations with Tottenham and Reguilon’s representatives. Returning to La Liga could be ideal for the defender. He knows the league well and he might be able to settle in quickly and impress with his performances.

Tottenham ready to let Sergio Reguilon leave

Tottenham support Reguilon’s decision to leave because his departure will help the club reduce its wage budget. Savings on their substantial weekly wages will provide financial flexibility for possible new signings or contract renewals for other important players.

Tottenham have adequate depth in the left-back department and they will not be able to provide the Spaniard with ample opportunities. It would be ideal for the two parties to go their separate ways. Destiny Udogie and Ben Davies are ahead of Reguilon in the pecking order and the North London club will be keen to get rid of the player in January.

The 27-year-old has plenty of time to get his career back on track and establish himself as an important player for Sevilla or Getafe.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Arsenal-owned goalkeeper Karl Hein at the end of the season.

The 22-year-old Estonian goalkeeper is currently on loan at La Liga club Real Valladolid. He has shown his quality for club and country, and there is no doubt that he would be a quality addition to the Tottenham squad. He has been linked with Chelsea as well.

Fraser Forster will be out of contract next summer, and Tottenham need to bring in a reliable backup option to Guglielmo Vicario and Hein would certainly be a quality long-term addition.

According to Football Insider, the 22-year-old goalkeeper will be a free agent in 2025, and he will be able to negotiate pre-contract agreements with foreign clubs in January. However, Tottenham will have to wait until the summer in order to sign him. It will be interesting to see if they can convince him to join the club on a free transfer. It would be a major bargain if Tottenham can get the deal done.

The North London club will need to improve their squad if they want to do well across multiple competitions and fight for major trophies. Having a quality backup goalkeeper could prove to be a wise decision.

Meanwhile, the report claims that the goalkeeper could be tempted to join Tottenham if the opportunity presents itself. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can provide him with ample gametime assurances. The 22-year-old needs to play more often at this stage of his career. Sitting on the bench at Tottenham will not benefit him.

That said, it is evident that he does not have a future at Arsenal and it would be ideal for him to move on. It is highly unlikely that there will be a contract extension any time soon. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can secure an agreement with the player in the coming months.

Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on the highly-rated Midtjylland winger Dario Osorio.

However, they are unlikely to make a move for him in January. It seems that they are looking at the player as a summer target, as per GMS.

Tottenham could certainly use more quality and depth in the wide areas and the 20-year-old would be a superb addition. with Dejan Kulusevski moving into a central role, Spurs need another option on the flanks.

He is highly rated across Europe and he has a bright future ahead of himself. Tottenham are scouting him regularly ahead of the potential move and it remains to be seen if Tottenham can secure an agreement for him.

According to reports, Liverpool are seriously considering a move for the Chile international as well. In addition to that, Manchester United are admirers of the player as well. It will be interesting to see which of the three English clubs manage to get the deal done.

The 20-year-old is a future prospect who is likely to improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a key player for all three clubs.

Liverpool and Man United keen on Dario Osorio

Liverpool could certainly use more depth in the wide areas, especially if Mohamed Salah leaves the club in the summer of 2025 when his contract expires. As for Manchester United, players like Antony have been largely underwhelming, and the Red Devils need to bring in an upgrade.

It will be interesting to see where the 20-year-old winger ends up eventually. He is unlikely to cost an absurd amount of money and it is fair to assume that all three Premier League clubs have the resources to get the deal across the line.

The 20-year-old needs to join a club where he will get regular game time at the opportunity to push for trophies.

Since signing on loan from Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur last summer, Manor Solomon has had a negligible impact at Leeds United, and that’s seen calls for his loan to be terminated.

The left winger hasn’t scored for two seasons (transfermarkt) and he hasn’t really shown his best for the all whites so far.

A hamstring injury could be partly to blame, but when he’s been handed the chance to impress by Daniel Farke, he hasn’t been able to do so.

Leeds urged to bin Manor Solomon

His performances have even seen pundits suggesting that he should be sent packing back to Spurs.

“You wonder with Solomon whether he’s going to be able to get that time, and then you question do you keep him? Or do you send him back?” Jonny Buchan said on the BBC’s Don’t Go To Bed Just Yet podcast.

“Then use that spot, I’m not saying they’re on the limit of their loans, they’re not, but do you use that pot that you’ve used money-wise to get someone else who can maybe have a bigger impact?”

With so many games to play in the Championship, there’s an argument that Solomon will still be needed in order to pad out Farke’s squad when required.

With well over half the season still to be played, no one knows how injuries could affect the all whites, particularly towards the business end.

Solomon does have the talent to make a difference, and that Premier League experience could be vital at some point.

Farke doesn’t seem to be the type of manager that has a knee jerk reaction to certain situations, and to that end it wouldn’t be a surprise if he were to keep faith with Solomon until after the January transfer window closes.

Tottenham star Dejan Kulusevski has reportedly attracted interest from AC Milan, with Milan’s advisor and Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic leading the push for his compatriot’s move to Italy.

According to Juve Live, Ibrahimovic is keen to see Kulusevski don Milan’s iconic red and black, as the club prepares for a future without Rafael Leao, who remains a target for several European giants.

Milan are reportedly ready to prepare an opening bid of around €50 million for the 24-year-old midfielder, signaling their serious interest in acquiring Tottenham’s creative playmaker.

Dejan Kulusevski: A standout signing for Tottenham

Kulusevski initially joined Spurs in 2022 on loan from Juventus, costing Tottenham €10 million. His impressive form convinced Spurs to secure his services permanently in 2023 for £25 million, and since then, he has cemented himself as a pivotal player in Tottenham’s attacking lineup.

During his initial half-season, Kulusevski made an immediate impact, registering five goals and eight assists in just 18 league matches.

While injuries hampered his second season, he has found a renewed rhythm under manager Ange Postecoglou this year, thriving in a new advanced midfield role. Despite only two goals and one assist in his first nine appearances this season, Kulusevski’s underlying statistics reveal his substantial creative contributions, with standout metrics in shot-creating actions, key passes, and progressive carries.

Kulusevski’s influence on Tottenham’s game cannot be overstated. Since his arrival, he has tallied 17 goals and 21 assists in 109 appearances, with this season seeing him rank sixth in the league for shot-creating actions per 90 minutes, fourth in key passes, and ninth in both passes into the penalty area and progressive carries. (Fbref)

His influence goes beyond the pitch, with him playing a key role in settling and mentoring youngsters like Luke Bergvall.

Losing a player of his calibre would be a significant setback for Tottenham, especially as they continue to push for a strong finish in both the Premier League and Europe this season.

This is not the first time, he is being linked with a move away from Spurs. He was linked with a reunion with Antonio Conte at Napoli over the summer as well, however, the player came out and dismissed those links.

Although Milan’s interest is clear, Kulusevski’s current contract with Tottenham runs until 2028. Spurs are unlikely to entertain offers without a substantial fee that reflects his integral role in the squad and his potential for further growth under Postecoglou.
