CaughtOffside

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur wanted to sign Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid during the summer transfer window.

However, the move never went through. According to a report from Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo (h/t SportWitness), the Premier League clubs are still keeping tabs on the 25-year-old English midfielder. They could look to make a move for him when the transfer window reopens in January.

Will Man United pay €60 million for Gallagher?

Atletico Madrid view Gallagher as an important player, but they could sell him if an offer of around €60 million is presented.

It will be interesting to see if Manchester United are willing to pay that kind of money for him. They need more physicality and work rate in the middle of the park, and Gallagher would add tremendous balance to the side. He knows the Premier League well, and he could make an instant impact.

Meanwhile, the midfielder needs to play regularly as well, and he has not been able to do that at the Spanish club. The opportunity to return to England could be attractive for him, especially if Manchester United can promise him regular game time.

Spurs keen on Conor Gallagher

Similarly, Tottenham need another hard-working midfielder as well, and the 25-year-old would be the ideal fit. He has been a long-term target for the club, and they have been trying to sign him in recent seasons.

Gallagher could be the ideal partner for Palhinha in theory. It will be interesting to see which of the two clubs is willing to pay €60 million for him.

He is still only 25, and he could justify the investment in the long term. He knows the league well, and he should be able to settle in quickly.

Both clubs have quality players and a quality manager. He could be tempted to join them..

Tottenham Hotspur may just have one of their most valuable assets in the making.

Under the leadership of Thomas Frank this season, Spurs have looked competitive and organised.

Despite a few hiccups this season, they have performed well and they continue to impress with their attacking displays.

The Premier League giants are currently third in the Premier League and some of their players have displayed eye-catching performances.

One of them is midfielder Lucas Bergvall who has elevated his game under Frank this season.

Tottenham tipped to sell Bergvall for more than Rice

Bergvall is being viewed as a player who could be sold for more than what Arsenal paid to sign Declan Rice from West Ham United.

According to Spurs News, ex-Premier League midfielder Martin Allen has spoken exclusively about Bergvall’s potential.

Allen believes that Bergvall is “better” than Rice, arguing that Bergvall’s goal scoring and creative output put him in a category that could demand at least £110 million on the market.

“At the age that he’s at, you’ve got to remember what Declan Rice and many, many years at West Ham, he went for £105m a couple of years ago,” Martin said.

“With him, there’s no way I’d sell him for less than £110m, no way. For me, he’s a better player than Rice, because he scores goals, and Declan’s not great at scoring goals.

“Top, top quality player. Yeah, and I will put him around about that £110m bracket, he’s that good, in my opinion.”

Spurs midfielder has impressed this season

The context to this claim is interesting. Rice, of course, became a benchmark in recent transfer dealings, a midfielder who can protect the backline, drive forward, and provide stability while contributing to attacking transitions.

Bergvall, by comparison, is being praised not just for defensive contribution but for his ability to influence games further up the pitch.

Having a player already viewed by ex-professionals as being worth more than one of the top midfielders of recent years is a sign of how far Bergvall has come.

It also reflects well on Spurs’ scouting, youth development, and their ability to identify undervalued talent in a market where fees are rising steeply.

Tottenham Hotspur appear to be planning significant business in the upcoming winter transfer window, with one deal increasingly likely, turning the loan of Joao Palhinha into a permanent move.

Thomas Frank’s team signed the former Fulham midfielder from Bayern Munich this summer in a loan move and since his move from the Bundesliga, where he struggled for playing time, the Portuguese midfielder has impressed for Spurs.

In five Premier League matches this season, Palhinha has scored one goal but more than his goal contribution, his ability to bring stability to the midfield and add strength has worked wonders for the North London club.

Tottenham set to open talks for Joao Palhinha

According to TBR Football, Tottenham have decided to open talks over a permanent move for Palhinha in the January transfer window.

Since joining Spurs, Palhinha has been one of the more consistent performers in midfield.

Spurs believe Palhinha fits exactly what they needed, a combative, disciplined anchor in midfield who can provide both defensive cover and intelligence in possession.

Another big advantage for Tottenham is the relatively modest cost. The loan deal already includes an option to buy Palhinha for £26 million, a bargain in today’s transfer market, especially when compared to prices for similar profiles.

Bayern Munich are open to selling Palhinha

There is also a sense that Bayern Munich may be willing to listen to offers sooner rather than later. Given Palhinha’s limited playing time at Bayern and the depth of competition there, the player’s preference might be to continue in a place where he is trusted and regular.

Spurs are in a strong position, they have already benefitted from his presence, know how he fits into Frank’s system, and there is a clear financial mechanism (the option to buy) that could be triggered earlier.

Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Oihan Sancet from Athletic Club Bilbao in the coming months.

The 24-year-old midfielder has done quite well in Liga, and he scored 17 goals last season.

Oihan Sancet could be an expensive option

The three Premier League clubs are hoping to secure his signature, as per Fichajes, but they might have to pay a premium. He has an €80 million release clause in his contract, and it would not be a surprise if the La Liga outfit demanded it to be paid in full. It will be interesting to see which of the three clubs managed to win the transfer tug of war.

Sancet is a quality player who is entering the peak years of his career. He could play his best football in the Premier League if the move goes through. He will add goals and creativity to the side. He has the technical attributes to adapt to English football as well.

All three clubs could use Sancet

Arsenal need an alternative to Martin Odegaard, and Sancet certainly fits the profile. As for Spurs, they are lacking in goals from the middle of the park. The La Liga star could be the ideal acquisition for them. As for Manchester United, Sancet could replace Bruno Fernandes, who is in the twilight stages of his career, and he has been linked with a move away in recent months.

The opportunity to move to England will be quite exciting for the 24-year-old midfielder as well. It could be the ideal next step for him, and he will look to prove himself at the highest level. He has been a star for Athletic Club Bilbao, but he is unlikely to be able to win major trophies with them.

Spurs, Arsenal and Manchester United have the resources to fight for League titles and the Champions League in future.

Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace are interested in signing Ruben Vargas from Spanish club Sevilla in the upcoming windows.

According to a report from Fichajes, the two clubs could look to make a move for the 27-year-old Swiss International in January or at the end of the season. Vargas could prove to be a very useful acquisition for both clubs.

Spurs and Villa could use Ruben Vargas

They need more quality and depth on the flank, and the Swiss International is capable of operating on either side. He will add pace, flair, and unpredictability. The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be quite exciting for him as well.

Tottenham certainly have a more attractive project compared to Aston Villa, but the 27-year-old needs to join a club where he will get regular opportunities. He needs to seek game time assurance before committing to a move.

Tottenham have reasonable depth in the attacking unit, and it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to offer him regular opportunities. Aston Villa need more quality in the final third, and they will be able to offer him more game time.

Tottenham set sights on re-signing defender in 2026

Where will Vargas end up?

Both clubs have quality managers at their disposal, and the 27-year-old could be attracted to the idea of joining them. It will be interesting to see if the two clubs decide to follow up on their interest with an official proposal in January.

Sevilla could be tempted to sell the player if a substantial offer is presented. Both clubs have the resources to get the deal across the line.

The player is at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for him to try out a new challenge. The move to England could be ideal for him.

The last few months have seen big changes at Tottenham, with the most notable being Daniel Levy’s exit as chairman last week. And there could now be further moves made by the club’s hierarchy.

Compared to the rest of the “big 6”, Tottenham have notorious for being lower spenders, and this has led to concerns among their supporters. However, there is chances for more money to be spent going forward.

Tottenham to receive significant cash injection

According to Sky Sports’ Kaveh Solhekol (via TBR Football), Tottenham are set to receive a significant financial boost via the Lewis family, who control a significant 70.12% stake in the club through their ENIC Group.

“A lot of Tottenham fans complain about the fact that they don’t spend as much money on players as their rivals or pay the kind of wages their rivals pay, now that could be set to change because Tottenham’s majority holders, The Lewis Family, could be ready to put more money into the club.

“How would that extra money be spent? Well, that would be up to the new leadership team at Tottenham because they have been told what you need to do is deliver more success on the pitch.

“If they decide that the best way to use that money is to pay more wages, because at the moment, Tottenham’s wages to turnover ratio is the lowest in the Premier League, 42%. If they believe we need to pay players higher wages or we need to spend more in the transfer market, then I think they will be backed to do that.”

It remains to be seen whether this money does arrive at Tottenham, and if so, whether it will help them to close the gap on the teams above them in the Premier League.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Dylan Lawlor from Cardiff City.

The 19-year-old defender is highly rated at the English club, and he has a bright future. His performances have attracted the attention of the Premier League trio, as per EFLAnalysis. It will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for him in the near future.

The defender has the potential to develop into a reliable performer in the top flight, and all three clubs could use more quality and depth in the defensive unit.

Dylan Lawlor could be tempted

Lawlor is likely to be tempted to move to the Premier League if the opportunity presents itself. Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they could provide him with the platform to fight for trophies. They have quality players at their disposal, and joining them would help the 19-year-old fulfil his ambitions. They have done well to groom young players in the past, and they could play a key role in his development.

Similarly, Chelsea have an exciting project and they have recently won a couple of trophies. They have put together a formidable team, and they will look to fight for major trophies. The 19-year-old could be excited to be a part of their project.

Spurs keen on Lawlor

Tottenham have shown a willingness to invest in talented young players, and it seems that they want to add the 19-year-old to the pool of formidable young talent already at the club. They need more depth defensively, and the 19-year-old could be a useful acquisition. They have recently signed Luka Vuskovic, and Lawlor could sort out the Tottenham defensive unit alongside the Croatian in the long run.

Lawlor has been described as an “impressive” player by Craig Bellamy. There is no doubt that he would be a solid future investment for all three clubs.

Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to agree on a new deal with Rodrigo Bentancur.

A report from TBR football, Thomas Frank is impressed with the performances of the Uruguay International, and the North London out are now looking to accelerate talks to secure his long-term future at the club.

Atletico Madrid are keen on Bentancur.

Spurs should keep Rodrigo Bentancur

The player is in the final year of his contract with the Premier League club, and Tottenham will not want to lose him on a free transfer at the end of the season. He will be able to secure a pre-contract agreement to join foreign clubs in January. Spurs must secure his long-term future quickly if they want to keep him at the club.

There is no doubt that Spurs need his quality and experience in the midfield. They will be hoping to do well in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League this season. They need a deeper squad with adequate quality, and the South American will be a handy option for them.

Can Spurs convince Bentancur?

It will be interesting to see if the midfielder is willing to commit his long-term future to the club. Tottenham have an ambitious project, and they are fighting for major trophies. They have won the UEFA Europa League recently, and the player will be tempted to stay on. He is a valued member of the first team, and he has no reason to force an exit from the club.

The player is at the peak of his career, and he will want to play regularly at the highest level. Tottenham will be able to provide him with that opportunity. It remains to be seen whether the two parties can finalise an agreement in the coming weeks.

Tottenham have done well to improve the squad, and they must look to secure the futures of their key players now.

Tottenham Hotspur reportedly tried to sign the PSG midfielder Senny Mayulu during the summer transfer window.

According to TeamTalk, they made a late move to sign the talented young midfielder, but PSG refused to sell the 19-year-old. Chelsea and Manchester City are keen on the player as well.

Although the 19-year-old is not a regular starter for PSG, he has already shown his qualities with the first team.

Can Spurs sign Senny Mayulu in future?

It will be interesting to see if Spurs decide to come back for him in the near future. He is a tremendous talent with a bright future, and the French under-20 international could prove to be a solid long-term investment.

The player currently has two years left on his current contract, and PSG are unwilling to let him move on. They view him as a key part of their plans going forward, and they will look to integrate him into the starting lineup soon.

Spurs building for the future

Meanwhile, Tottenham have done well to improve their team this summer, and they have shown a willingness to invest in talented young players. It is clear that they are looking to add to the formidable pool of young talent at the club. Mayulu would be a solid investment for them, and it remains to be seen whether they decide to test PSG’s resolve in future.

The 19-year-old will want to play regularly so that he can continue his development. If PSG do not provide him with that opportunity, the player could be attracted to the idea of moving on. The move to the Premier League could be exciting for him. Tottenham have an exciting project, and the 19-year-old could be tempted to join them.
