Spurs may be looking to add a third-choice keeper to their ranks with the club reportedly scouting ex-Accrington Stanley shot-stopped, Toby Savin, who has failed two medicals at Manchester United according to reports.

Spurs may need a homegrown third-choice goalkeeper

Tottenham have long had both Alfie Whiteman and Brandon Austin as their third-choice goalkeeper options but there could be some movement in the ranks this summer.

Fraser Forster, Spurs’ current number two, has been injured for a long period of time and at 36 years old, may struggle to maintain a Premier League level for much longer.

Brandon Austin recently signed a new deal with the club until 2029, while Alfie Whiteman has a single year left on his deal. Luca Gunter has been successful with the U21 squad too and could end up being the heir to Vicario in a few years but isn’t ready just yet.

Spurs are likely to need to choose a homegrown goalkeeper should they sign a new backup option with Football Insider reporting that Tottenham are currently only just meeting the quota of eight homegrown players.

They would subsequently fall short of the quota should one of the current keepers leave and be replaced with a non-homegrown option.

Toby Savin has been scouted by Spurs for three seasons

That is perhaps the explanation behind why Tottenham have been scouting 23-year-old Shrewsbury goalkeeper, Toby Savin, according to The Sun.

Savin joined Shrewsbury as a free agent this summer, but The Sun reported that the keeper narrowly missed out on a stunning switch to Manchester United last summer after failing two medicals, meaning United instead signed veteran, Tom Heaton.

Spurs have reportedly been scouting the goalkeeper for the past three seasons, alongside fellow Premier League sides Newcastle and Manchester United.

Spurs Web opinion

Signing Savin would have definitely been a far-afield option, even as a third-choice goalkeeper, but the 23-year-old must have had plenty of potential when he was younger to cause so many big clubs to start scouting the youngster.

Tottenham Hotspur have already been linked with an abundance of different players over the course of the summer transfer window, however, it appears that one of those names will not be on the move.

No Tottenham move for Chris Fuhrich

Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg, a name that many Spurs fans will recognise for his continual reporting last summer ahead of Harry Kane‘s move to Bayern Munich has delivered an update on the future of Chris Fuhric.

Plettenberg has taken to social media platform x to reveal that the winger has rejected all opportunities to leave Stuttgart this summer and will instead remain with the Bundesliga side.

The reporter wrote on X: “Chris Führich will stay VfB.

“The 26 y/o winger has rejected all options as he has decided to continue with Stuttgart. Führich has already informed Sebastian Hoeneß about his decision.”

Fuhrich could have been available for a transfer fee of around €23m-€25m for English clubs due to a clause in his contract, which expired on July 19th (Florian Plettenberg).

SpursWeb Opinion

Tottenham were right not to try to push for a move for Fuhrich, who did not exactly catch the eye at Euro 2024 and is not exactly a significant upgrade on his compatriot Timo Werner.

Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are at the front of the queue with their interest in a striker this summer.

Tottenham are on the search for a new striker

GiveMeSport claim that sources suggest that Tottenham are set to make a ‘lowball’ offer for Brentford striker Ivan Toney.

Tottenham are yet to dip into the transfer market to replace Harry Kane after the club-record goalscorer left North London to join Bayern Munich on the cusp of the 2023/24 Premier League season.

Ange Postecoglou had little time to seek a replacement for Kane last summer and instead had to rely on club captain Heung-min Son playing through the middle, along with Richarlison also sharing the responsibility on occasion.

The report claims that Tottenham are planning on adding further new faces to their squad before the window slams shut, but have not yet made a serious approach to Brentford.

The Bees have dropped their valuation of the England international to £50million with a lack of interest in the player, who is now within the final twelve months of his contract.

West Ham and Spurs are frontrunners for Ivan Toney

Toney is said to be more likely to want to join Tottenham over the Hammers due to the fact that Spurs have not actively been negotiating deals for alternative transfer targets since they are confident his price tag could decrease further.

A potential move for Toney, however, could depend on whether Richarlison departs the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with the Brazilian said to be the subject of interest from Saudi Arabia (Ariyadhiah).

West Ham are reportedly chasing other forward targets at present with a Toney considered to be a back-up option if they are unable to land those towards the top of their shortlist.

SpursWeb Opinion

It is a shame that Sergio Reguilon‘s wage demands are a problem for Brentford, otherwise he could have been a great option to be a makeshift in a deal to bring Toney to N17.

Toney did not exactly have the best of times upon his return from his gambling ban last season, at the stats below highlight, but he is Premier League-proven and a deal of around £40m could be decent business, unless the club decide to move for Lille’s Jonathan David.

Tottenham Hotspur have an abundance of promising talent within their ranks which certainly bodes well for the future.

After years of struggling to produce or give academy starlets a clear pathway to the Tottenham first-team squad, the focus has changed over the past year for the better.

After the eras of Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, who were both more concentrated on trying to win for now, rather than having an eye on the future, current Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou has shown that he is prepared to give those within the academy to shine.

Arguably, the brightest young talent within the youth set-up in North London is 16-year-old Mikey Moore.

Despite his young age, Moore was handed his Premier League debut by Postecoglou last season in the defeat to Manchester City and followed it up with another late cameo on the final day of the campaign at Sheffield United.

Moore has continued where he left off, scoring in the pre-season friendlies against Cambridge United and Hearts, while also providing an assist in Saturday’s 2-0 win at QPR.

Tottenham are confident of Mikey Moore deal

Football Insider have reported that Tottenham are confident of the teenager putting pen to paper on a new contract despite interest from clubs including Manchester City and Manchester United.

Last April, Moore signed a three-year deal which will take him into his first professional contract when he turns 17, next month (Football.London).

Spurs believe that Moore will sign an extension following his bright start in senior football, which has also seen he likes of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund sit up and take notice.

SpursWeb Opinion

The term ‘generational talent’ is used too often these days, however, it genuinely feels as if Moore has all of the tools to live up to the hype.

He comes from a good family and there is no doubt that Tottenham are doing everything they can to keep off-pitch distractions away from him to allow him to continue on his current trajectory.

A loan move should not be something which Spurs consider this season, he has to remain as part of the Tottenham first-team squad and give him the opportunity to impress.

Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal could do battle before the season even begins, as the two North London clubs are both thought to be interested in the same winger, with meetings set to take place soon according to reports in the Turkish press.

Yilmaz is a wanted man

They are not alone, either. Apparently, there are now six Premier League clubs chasing the signature of Baris Alper Yilmaz this summer, and his price tag is firmly set, too.

That’s according to a report from Turkish outlet, Sabah, with a claim that Spurs and Arsenal are both very interested in signing the right winger, who had a great tournament for his country at Euro 2024.

However, Galatasaray are demanding at least €30m (£25.3m) for the 24-year-old, with the Turkish Super Lig holders have already reportedly received such an offer from Liverpool.

Manchester United, Brighton, and Aston Villa are also cited as potential suitors for Yilmaz, but it is Spurs and Arsenal who have been sending scouts to watch him, and the two clubs are seemingly ready to sit down and discuss a deal with Galatasaray.

Yilmaz caught the eye at Euro 2024

Yilmaz played the full 90 minutes in every single game for Turkey at Euro 2024 as they made it to the quarter-finals, where their valiant efforts were not enough to get past the Netherlands.

However, Yilmaz did not score or provide an assist at the tournament, but he did impress with his high-energy play in the attacking zone for Turkey.

Yilmaz scored seven goals and registered 12 assists for Galatasaray in 55 appearances last season as they secured the Turkish league title (Transfermarkt).

Spurs Web Opinion

His numbers aren’t exactly out of this world, but Yilmaz does fit the profile of the kind of player we need out wide, and he also looks like he would adapt to the Premier League quite suitably, too.

There are other signings I would rather us make, but Yilmaz is not a bad option.

Tottenham Hotspur are looking for a new striker this summer, but there is one Premier League star they may have to give up chasing, as his current club are fighting tooth and nail to keep hold of him.

Alexander Isak is off the table

Since arriving in the Premier League in 2022, Alexander Isak has proven to be one of the most accomplished finishers in the division, and is now a target for various top clubs.

However, the latest from sources at Football Insider claims Newcastle United are confident they can resist approaches from the likes of Tottenham, Chelsea, and Arsenal.

It is thought Isak is regarded as an ‘untouchable’ talent for the Magpies who they are keen to keep at all costs.

And, with Newcastle selling Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh already this summer, the club are no longer in a position where they need to offload further players to appease Profitability and Sustainability Rules.

With this in mind, Eddie Howe and his staff are of the belief that Isak will be in their squad come the end of the transfer window.

Reported bids rebuffed by Newcastle

It is not for the want of trying on behalf of Newcastle’s rivals, though. Spurs reportedly offered cash plus Richarlison for the Swedish striker but were knocked back (Gianluca Di Marzio).

Sky Sports reporter, Keith Downie, has suggested Chelsea are stepping up their interest in Isak, too. Apparently, the Blues offered Conor Gallagher, Armando Broja, and Trevoh Chalobah in exchange for the striker, but were also rebuffed (Football Insider).

Spurs Web Opinion

In an ideal world, Alexander Isak would be my top pick for Spurs to sign this summer. Sadly, I just do not see it happening. I don’t believe Newcastle would sell, and even if they did, it would be crazy money that Spurs simply would not pay.

Unfortunately, there will come a day when Heung-min Son is no longer a Tottenham Hotspur player. It may be a few years away yet, but Johan Lange has already identified the player he would want to replace the Spurs skipper.

How to replace the irreplaceable

He’s the club captain, one of the Spurs‘ all-time leading goalscorers, and a legend of the game. But, at the age of 32, Son cannot have too many years left at the top.

There is talk that Son is close to getting a one-year extension on his current contract, with a bigger, better deal also potentially in the works (The Athletic).

That is great news for Spurs fans, but with the future in mind, it seems Johan Lange has been plotting Tottenham’s next move and he has a particular Premier League winger in mind to take over the mantle from Son one day.

According to a report from Football Transfers, Spurs see Eberechi Eze as the perfect man to fill those boots, and Lange is “exploring heavily” the possibility of bringing the winger in from Crystal Palace this summer.

It is said Eze will cost any club at least £60m to prise away from Palace, as he has an “unofficial release clause” that the Eagles will honour.

Spurs have other options

Whether Spurs can get a deal over the line remains to be seen. Ben Jacobs has told GiveMeSport that the situation regarding Eze is ‘complicated’ and suggested the Lilywhites may look to sign Pedro Neto from Wolves instead.

Spurs Web Opinion

Eze feels like such a perfect player for Spurs, and I do hope we sign him this summer.

The idea of replacing Sonny feels weird to even think about, but Eze would certainly go a long way towards easing the eventual pain of seeing Son play his last game for us.

Tottenham Hotspur boarded their flight to Japan on Monday and left behind two senior players to focus on securing transfers away from the club.

Tottenham are currently in Japan

While Ange Postecoglou decided to select a mix of youth and experience for the pre-season fixtures in Japan and South Korea, he did show that while Djed Spence could be potentially given the opportunity to force his way into the Australian’s plans, there is no such route for Bryan Gil and Sergio Reguilon.

Gil and Reguilon will remain at Hotspur Way to look to depart the club during the current transfer window.

Fabrizio Romano revealed on X on Monday evening that La Liga outfit Girona have held initial discussions with Tottenham over a move for Gil.

Spanish news outlet Vamos Mi Sevilla FC have now revealed that Gil is also attracting interest from Sevilla, who could be set to make an approach for their former player.

Sevilla linked with Gil reunion – could another loan beckon?

Gil joined Tottenham from Sevilla back in the summer of 2021 for a £21.6m fee which also saw Erik Lamela head in the other direction.

It is said that Sevilla could now look to bring Gil back to the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium on a loan deal with an option to buy, and an obligation to make the deal permanent could be triggered if certain set conditions are met.

Sevilla, however, are not prepared to spend big to bring the winger back to the club on a permanent basis with a fee of no more than €6m (£5m) mentioned.

The 23-year-old is under contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium until June 2026 and the abovementioned fee would represent a significant loss for the North Londoners on their initial investment (transfermarkt).

SpursWeb Opinion

While the Gil transfer is not on the same scale as the Tanguy Ndombele disaster, it is still one of the biggest transfer errors the club have made in recent years.

Gil was never going to be cut out to handle the physicality of the Premier League, nor did the club look to get him up to speed to at least attempt adapt to the rigours of the English game by loaning him to a club in the same division.

Instead, he is far more suited to the style of play in La Liga, who is no surprise why both Girona and Sevilla have been credited with interest.

Another loan move without any guaranteed obligation would be a disaster, and one which Spurs need to move off their books by the end of August.

Tottenham Hotspur yesterday announced a couple of changes to their first team squad numbers ahead of the 2024/25 season.

Guglielmo Vicario is Tottenham’s number one, literally

Hugo Lloris‘ departure from North London to join LAFC after 11 years at the club saw his number one shirt become available.

Ironically, Guglielmo Vicario, who was Tottenham’s number one last season in all but the number on his back instead sported the number 13 squad number.

Vicaro has now taken up the option to claim the number one jersey which left his previous number vacant.

Destiny Udogie, who wore number 38 last season in his impressive maiden campaign at Tottenham has jumped at the opportunity to claim the number 13 squad number left by his compatriot.

Udogie took to his Instagram story on Monday (22/7/24) to thank Vicario for allowing him to take his former squad number.

The left-back who missed the end of the season, along with Italy’s Euro 2024 campaign added a photo of Vicaro along with the caption ‘Thank you mate 13’.

Despite his absence in pre-season matches to date, Udogie was named in the Tottenham tour party for flight to Japan yesterday, while Vicario who has just returned to the club after his involvement with Italy was also onboard (Spurs official).

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s loan switch to Marseille with an obligation to make the move permanent has also seen the number five become available ahead of the new season.

SpursWeb Opinion

Udogie wore the number 13 on his back at Udinese, which makes sense as to why he has jumped at the opportunity rather than bide his time for Sergio Reguilon to vacate the number 3 shirt.

Hopefully, there will be other numbers which become available including that of Bryan Gil, who is said to be on the radar of Girona.
