The Spurs Web

Two Serie A clubs are plotting a move for a Tottenham Hotspur star and one of them could use the help of Fabio Paratici to push through the deal.

Not many players across the Tottenham squad have seen their stocks rise this season, with the Lilywhites falling well short of expectations so far.

However, one of the few who undoubtedly has is Dejan Kulusveski, who was in a league of his own during the first half of the season, impressing in a number of different roles for Ange Postecoglou’s side.

A report from Italy has now suggested that two Serie A clubs are planning to push ahead with a move for the Swede despite Tottenham’s insistence that he is not for sale.

AC Milan could use Fabio Paratici to sign Dejan Kulusevski

Calciomercato have now claimed that AC Milan are big fans of the 24-year-old and tried to sign the player during the January window.

However, Tottenham Hotspur rejected all approaches for Kulusevski and made it clear that they see him as one of the most important players. Now, the Rossoneri could return again in the summer, and they have a new plan up their sleeve.

Tottenham’s former managing director, Fabio Paratici, is now thought to be the favourite to join as Milan’s sporting director, and the Italian could look to take Kulusevski with him to the club.

Napoli are also big fans of the Spurs winger and are looking to reunite him with Antonio Conte at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

Tottenham and Kulusveski’s transfer stances revealed

The outlet claims that Spurs could be in danger of losing Kulusevski if they do not achieve European qualification for next season.

Such a scenario could turn the former Juventus man’s head if the likes of Milan or Napoli come calling, but it would take a big offer for Tottenham to consider selling the attacker.

The outlet adds that Ange Postecoglou’s men would not even open negotiations for the Sweden international for any offer less than €50m (£41.8m).

Tottenham Hotspur have just been told that they will have to break the bank to land Tyler Dibling, who has reportedly been identified by Ange Postecoglou’s side as one of their top summer targets.

If you have followed Spurs Web’s coverage, you will know that the speculation linking the Southampton winger with a move to Tottenham has been steadily intensifying over recent weeks.

Various outlets have reported that Spurs have already started the groundwork on a deal for Dibling as the Saints sit on the verge of relegation.

It has been suggested that Tottenham are keen to move fast on Dibling in order to steal a march on their Premier League rivals in the transfer race.

However, Southampton’s valuation for the winger has now come to light, handing Spurs’ hopes of landing the player a huge blow.

Tottenham have to shatter transfer record to sign Tyler Dibling

The Telegraph have now also reported on Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in the England under-21 international, claiming that Ange Postecoglou’s men have identified the youngster as a priority target.

They say that Spurs, who made enquiries for Dibling in January, feel that the winger’s profile, age, and versatility make him a perfect fit for their project.

However, it is revealed that Southampton are ready to demand a staggering fee of more than £100m for Dibling as they are aware that their academy graduate will be one of the most sought-after players of the summer.

Ivan Juric’s men are confident that there will be ‘strong interest’ in the England Under-21 international in the summer and are prepared to adopt a ‘hardline stance’ on his future.

Four other clubs are also circling Dibling

The Telegraph reveal that Manchester City, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig have also scouted the teenager regularly this season and are considering a summer move.

However, all those clubs as well as Tottenham have been left ‘frustrated’ by Southampton’s extremely high valuation. Dibling has two years left to run on his deal at St Mary’s.

Micky van de Ven has named the most two footed player at Tottenham Hotspur and it is not club captain Heung-min Son.

Regardless of Tottenham Hotspur’s league position and form this season, the Lilywhites still boast an abundance of talent within their squad.

Among those with an incredible level of skill and technical ability is Heung-min Son. The South Korean forward is an elite finisher with an impressive knack for striking the ball cleanly with both feet.

So far in his Premier League career, Son has netted 127 goals—74 with his right foot and 49 with his left.

This season, he has already hit double figures for goals and assists, scoring 11 and assisting 11 in forty appearances.

Despite Son’s outstanding record, Micky van de Ven opted for another teammate when asked to name the Tottenham player with a five-star weak foot.

The Dutch defender chose Archie Gray, Tottenham’s £30m summer signing, as the most two-footed player in the squad.

Gray has already shown his versatility by playing across multiple positions under Ange Postecoglou and has impressed with his ability to use both feet seamlessly.

Speaking to SpursOfficial, Van de Ven explained his choice: “I’ll go for Archie (Gray). If you see every time he also plays in different positions, he does everything with his left foot without a doubt, so I would say he is both-footed and has a five-star weak foot.”

While Van de Ven went for Gray, Mikey Moore and Destiny Udogie both picked Son as the player with the best weak foot at Tottenham, with Moore in particular full of praise for the South Korean’s technique.

“I have to go for him again, Sonny,” Moore said. “His left foot is unbelievable, it’s like his right, so it’s definitely him.”

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly very keen on signing young Serie A centre-back Koni De Winter and Fabrizio Romano has just provided a big boost to Spurs’ hopes of landing the player.

Even though Tottenham are well stocked at centre-back, particularly after the arrival of Kevin Danso in January, the Lilywhites continue to be linked with various centre-halves ahead of the summer.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Spurs had asked for information about Genoa centre-back Koni De Winter, who has caught the eye since his move from Juventus last summer.

Just a couple of days ago, it was claimed that Tottenham had moved into pole position to sign De Winter even though plenty of other clubs were queuing up to sign the versatile defender.

Tottenham Hotspur are not expected to have a free run at the Genoa man as the previously mentioned report also credited Bayern Munich and Inter Molan with an interest in the 22-year-old.

Fabrizio Romano has now taken to social media to reveal that De Winter is expected to leave Genoa at the end of the season.

While it remains unclear where the Belgian international will end up, the Italian journalist has confirmed that the player is attracting ‘strong interest’ from English and Italian clubs, and is not expected to be at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris next season.

Why Tottenham might have an advantage in the race for Koni De Winter

Tottenham already have a good relationship with Genoa, having loaned Djed Spence to the Italian club last season and signing Radu Dragusin from the Italian club a little over a year ago.

The Lilywhites may thus have a slight advantage over other suitors in the race for De Winter.

However, the decision might ultimately come down to the player himself and given where Tottenham are languishing in the Premier League table, they might not be a particularly appealing destination for the Belgian.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly ready to make a big offer for Gustav Isaksen, but the Lilywhites might face some heavy competition as one Italian manager is extremely keen on winning the race for the attacker this summer.

Spurs may need reinforcements to their forward line this summer and they have not seemingly turned their attention to a young winger who is turning heads with his performances in the Italian top-flight.

The player in question is Gustav Isaksen, who has impressed on the right flank for Lazio this season, having registered 10 goal contributions so far.

A couple of days ago, it was revealed that Spurs were ready to put €40m (£33.5m) on the table for Isaksen, having been very impressed with his displays over recent months.

Tottenham vs Inter Milan in the race for Gustav Isaksen

A report in Cronaca di Roma (as relayed by Calciomercato) has now confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur are indeed fans of the Dane, but they are expected to face competition from one Serie A giant.

The report reveals that Inter Milan are also keen on securing the 23-year-old, with their manager, Simone Inzaghi, said to have ‘fallen in love’ with the winger.

Inzaghi reportedly believes that Isaksen can be turned into a wing-back and will be a perfect fit in the 3-5-2 formation he employs. However, neither the Nerazzurri nor Tottenham have made any official moves for the versatile winger so far.

Will Lazio even sell Isaksen?

Cronaca di Roma explain that no player in the Lazio squad is deemed ‘unsellable’, which means that any offer received for Isaksen would be considered.

However, that does not mean that the attacker will be cheap, with Lazio expected to set the starting point ‘very high’ during negotiations since Isaksen is contracted until 2028.

Whether or not Tottenham’s rumoured offer of £33m proves to be enough to convince Marco Baroni’s side to part ways with their talisman remains to be seen.

Yang Min-hyeok has opened up on how he is improving as a player at Queens Park Rangers, and the Tottenham winger made an admission ahead of his international debut for South Korea.

There was a bit of cynicism among some sections of the Tottenham Hotspur fan base when the club secured Yang last year.

Given that he had barely had a full season in the K-League at the time, many wondered if the signing was motivated by commercial reasons rather than solely footballing ones.

However, the 18-year-old has silenced his doubters since making a loan switch to QPR in January, showing exactly why many are excited about his potential.

Yang Min-hyeok reveals improvement from Tottenham loan

The Tottenham man is yet to find the back of the net for the Championship side but Yang has already produced some dazzling moments in a QPR shirt already.

The winger has quickly become a fan favourite at Loftus Road, with Yang already earning rave reviews from the local press.

The winger was called up to the South Korea side in light of his impressive form in West London and would have been hoping to make his senior bow. Fortunately, he was used off the bench in South Korea’s match against Jordan on Tuesday.

Yang has now admitted that he has become ‘stronger’ since his move to QPR.

Yang told KFATV: “It’s been a while since I’ve seen family and enjoyed Korean food, it was so good. I think I’ll be able to do better now that I am stronger. If the chance arises, I’ll do my best to become a player the team can rely on.”

What the QPR manager has said about Yang Min-hyeok

Tottenham fans will be excited about what Yang can do in the years to come, with the winger potentially eyeing challenging for a first-team spot at Spurs next season.

QPR manager Marti Cifuentes admitted that Yang has progressed well, talking very highly of the attributes that the teenager possesses.

Cifuentes said a few weeks ago about the Tottenham man: “He’s progressing, doing well. The last two games at home especially, he did well. The impact from the bench against Portsmouth was very positive.

“He’s growing, learning our way of playing and the pace of the game. He’s doing good things and is still a young lad who needs to keep learning and improving in some areas. His attitude is top. He is dangerous and has the pace to go forward, get in behind and go one vs one.”

Tottenham Hotspur have turned their attention to Mainz striker Jonathan Burkardt who is taking the Bundesliga by storm this season, but the Lilywhites are not the only Premier League club eyeing him.

Over recent weeks, we have already seen Tottenham being linked with a whole host of strikers ahead of the summer window.

It has been reported that Spurs are plotting a move for Dusan Vlahovic, while Tottenham are also thought to have their eye on Liam Delap.

Now, a fresh update has claimed that a German international has now caught the eye of the Lilywhites as they continue to search for a striker to compete with Dominic Solanke.

Tottenham plotting move for 15-goal Jonathan Burkardt

This update comes from TBR Football, who say that Spurs have turned their gaze towards Mainz striker, Jonathan Burkardt.

The versatile forward, who can operate as a number, as a second striker or on the left, has found the back of the net 15 times in 22 league games this season.

The report says that the 24-year-old, who is third in the Bundesliga Golden Boot rave behind Harry Kane and Patrik Schick, is fast becoming one of the ‘hottest properties in German football’ ahead of the summer window.

The outlet claims that Tottenham see Burkardt as someone who can push for a starting place this season as they look to add more firepower to their frontline.

Spurs will have to compete with four of their PL rivals

However, TBR Football make it clear that Tottenham are not alone in their admiration of the Mainz man, with several other Premier League sides joining them in the race.

The likes of Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion have been credited with an interest in Burkardt.

It is suggested that the Magpies have scouted the German and may see him as an option to replace Alexander Isak, whose future at St James’ Park remains unclear.

Tottenham Hotspur are wasting no time ahead of the summer transfer window, with the North London club thought to have already begun working on a deal to sign their top attacking target.

There is no doubt that Spurs will need to make reinforcements to their forward line in the summer, irrespective of whether Mathys Tel makes a permanent switch to the club.

Timo Werner’s loan spell at N17 comes to an end this summer, while reports indicate that Richarlison is expected to exit Tottenham at the end of the campaign.

Various outlets have claimed over recent weeks that Spurs are keen on securing Southampton starlet Tyler Dibling, and a big update has now emerged on the Lilywhites’ pursuit of the winger.

Tottenham have begun working on Tyler Dibling deal

Even though we are almost three months away from the opening of the summer transfer window, GiveMeSport claim that Spurs have already begun working on a deal for Dibling.

The report reveals that the North London club are currently doing the groundwork to secure the 19-year-old this summer when Southampton’s relegation is confirmed.

The update claims that Tottenham are looking to ‘make a splash’ this summer, with Dibling being identified as one of their key targets.

Ange Postecoglou’s men are expected to persist with their strategy of bringing talented young players through the door, and they see Dibling as someone with the potential to evolve into a top-class player.

Tottenham face competition from Man United for Tyler Dibling

It was reported last week that Spurs will face competition from Man United for Dibling, with Rubem Amorim’s men also thought to be big fans of the Saints youngster.

However, the same update explained there are doubts if the Red Devils can compete with the level of financing that Tottenham can offer, given that they have announced expensive plans to redevelop Old Trafford.

It was suggested that Spurs may thus be well placed to secure a deal for the England Under-21 international ahead of the Manchester club.

Plenty of reports over the last few weeks have talked up Tottenham’s interest in Angel Gomes, and journalist Ben Jacobs has now revealed how the Europa League could come into play.

The Lille midfielder will be a free agent this June and various outlets have revealed over recent weeks that Tottenham have made contact with Gomes regarding a free transfer.

Ange Postecoglou is thought to be a big fan of Gomes, with the Lilywhites allegedly laying the groundwork to win the race for the England international.

Gomes is also reportedly also of interest to the likes of West Ham, Man United, Aston Villa and Bournemouth, but a fresh update has shed light on why Tottenham are well placed to land the 24-year-old.

Tottenham could have an advantage in the race for Angel Gomes

Journalist Ben Jacobs has now become the latest to confirm that Tottenham Hotspur are indeed keen on winning the race for the Lille man, who looks on course to return to England.

He explains that Gomes does not consider a lack of European football as a deal breaker, which gives Spurs an advantage as the transfer race heats up.

When asked about Gomes’ future, Jacobs told GiveMeSport: “Tottenham are interested as well, and the player, by all accounts, isn’t going to make his decision solely based on who does or doesn’t have European football.

“That means that if Tottenham don’t get any European football next season, it may not put Gomes off, and I’m told that he’s relatively keen on returning to England as well, so that could give Spurs an advantage.”

Why Spurs may have to win the Europa League to sign Gomes

The lack of Champions League football may not be a deal breaker for Gomes, but Tottenham might still have to win the Europa League to stand a chance of signing the midfielder.

This is because reports indicate that Ange Postecoglou has to achieve European qualification to still be in his job next season.

Postecoglou appears to be the one driving Tottenham’s interest in Gomes and given the uncertainty over the Australian’s future at N17, the Spurs recruitment team may not want to rush with a move for the Man United academy graduate just yet.

One Tottenham Hotspur legend has now confirmed that he will be hanging up his boots from the game at the end of the season because his body can no longer keep up with the demands of the game.

While many outstanding attackers have graced the pitches at White Hart Lane and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium throughout the Premier League era, the same cannot be said about defenders.

Spurs have not been blessed with too many world-class centre-backs over the years, but one of those is undoubtedly Jan Vertonghen.

The Belgian, who arrived at Tottenham from Ajax back in 2012, spent eight years at the club, going on to make 315 appearances in a Lilywhite shirt, and Spurs fans will be saddened by his latest announcement.

Vertonghen was a key part of the Mauricio Pochettino revolution at Tottenham, helping the club reach the Champions League final in 2019 and wining being named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year twice.

The 37-year-old, who is now the captain of Anderlecht and has a record 157 caps for Belgium, has now announced that he will be signing off from the game at the end of the campaign.

The Tottenham legend told BBC Sport: “I have noticed that it is becoming more and more difficult to prepare myself physically for training sessions and matches and to show myself as the player I want to be. Not only towards the fans and my fellow players but also towards myself. That is why I will be stopping after this season.”

Jan Vertonghen is the greatest Tottenham defender since Ledley King

Vertonghen will go down in many people’s estimation as the second-best defender Spurs have had in the Premier League era after the great Ledley King.

His sheer longevity and consistency at the very top level give him the edge over the likes of Toby Alderweireld and Michael Dawson.

The Belgian will always be considered a hero at N17, and one would expect him to make plenty of trips to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to watch his beloved side once his playing commitments are over.
