In a recent edition of the Transfers Podcast, journalist Duncan Castles claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are showing interest in Bournemouth defender Illia Zabarnyi. Castles said,

“Illia Zabarnyi, who Paris Saint-Germain have been working on a deal for about six months in reality, but actively working with Bournemouth for three months, I’m told, their offer for the Ukraine centre back is €60m.

“They believe they should be able to secure the player at that price, and the player definitely wants to come to them — has agreed personal terms with PSG and is pushing for the move.

“But Tottenham, one of several Premier League clubs who are unsurprisingly interested in the 22-year-old, one of the quickest centre-backs in the Premier League and almost a perfect attendance record in the Premier League over his two seasons at Bournemouth.

“Guidance from Bournemouth is that Tottenham have offered €70m for the player, which is owner Bill Foley’s asking price, and which would represent a new club record transfer fee for Tottenham, exceeding the initial £55m with £10m of variables that they paid Bournemouth for Dominic Solanke last summer.”

Zabarnyi’s Impressive Form In The Premier League Last Season

Zabarnyi had a solid campaign at the English club after he put in a series of impressive performances at the heart of their backline. The 22-year-old made 39 appearances for the Cherries last season, securing one assist in multiple competitions.

The Ukrainian centre-back gave a good account of himself on the defensive end of the field as he made 52 tackles, 33 blocks and 41 interceptions in the Premier League. He even distributed possession relatively well from the back based on his pass success rate of 82.1% in the English top tier (stats via fbref.com).

What Will Zabarnyi Add To Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank’s Side?

Zabarnyi is a tough-tackling defender who can time his challenges well to earn the ball back for his team inside his half. He usually clears his lines when the opposition are on the offensive and excels at playing his way out from the back.

The Ukraine international can even use his strong 1.89m frame to dominate the opposition attackers in the air. He has already got some experience in the Premier League under his belt and won’t take much time to adjust to life at Tottenham.

At 22, the future looks quite promising for the Bournemouth talent. He would undoubtedly add more quality to Spurs boss Thomas Frank’s defence in the long run. Therefore, it makes sense for the North London club to try everything they can to bring him on board this summer.

In a recent report, journalist Dean Jones claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are strong contenders for Manchester City winger Jack Grealish. It has been stated that Spurs have a genuine interest in the England international but could face competition in the form of Everton and West Ham United in pursuit of him.

Grealish’s Unimpressive Season In English Football

Grealish struggled to impress with his performances on the left side of Pep Guardiola’s attack in the previous campaign. He was far from consistent for Man City and could only manage to score three goals and secure five assists in 32 matches for them last season on all fronts.

The English talent did well to average 1.87 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League but could only keep 33.3% of his attempts on target. Grealish was excellent when distributing possession in the opponent’s half, as evidenced by his pass completion rate of 87.6% in the English first division (stats via fbref.com).

His current contract at the Etihad Stadium will expire in the summer of 2027 which could make it difficult for Spurs to recruit him on the cheap this off-season.

Should Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank Move In For Grealish?

Grealish is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make some driving runs with it out in the wide areas. He can strike the ball well from long range and has got the eye to play a few decisive passes in the final third.

However, the English sensation needs to add more goals and assists to his game if he wants to start regularly in the Premier League.

Tottenham boss Thomas Frank should only move in for Grealish if he is planning to play his regularly next season. With enough game time, the English talent could prove himself to be a success story at the North London club over the next few years.

In a recent report, Gazzetta dello Sport stated that Tottenham Hotspur are locked in a three-way battle for Genoa defender Koni De Winter. It has been revealed that Spurs would have to rival Inter Milan and West Ham United in the race to land the Belgian centre-back this summer.

De Winter’s Impressive Form In Italian Football

De Winter managed to catch the eye at times for Genoa in the previous campaign when he put in a run of solid displays for them on the defensive third of the field. The 23-year-old found the back of the net three times in 26 matches for the Italian club last season in multiple competitions.

The Antwerp-born talent deserves some credit for making 33 tackles, 11 blocks and 25 interceptions in the Serie A. He was even careful when distributing the ball from the back after making 86.6% of his attempted passes in the Italian first division (stats via fbref.com).

His current contract at the Italian club will run out in the summer of 2028 which could make it difficult for Spurs to snap him up on a cut-price deal this off-season.

Will De Winter Be A Good Fit For Tottenham Hotspur?

De Winter loves a tackle and can sense the danger well to make some important interceptions for his side on the defensive end of the pitch. He usually clears his lines when required and can pass the ball out from the back.

The Belgian sensation can even use his strong 1.91m frame to dominate the opposition attackers in the air. However, the jury is still out on whether he can maintain his good form in the Premier League if Spurs manage to get a deal done for him this summer.

De Winter would no doubt enhance the quality of Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank’s attack. He has what it takes to compete for a regular first-team place at the North London club in the coming seasons.

At 23, De Winter has still got a lot of room to grow as a footballer. Hence, he would be an excellent fit for Tottenham’s needs in the long run. However, Frank needs to give the player some time to adapt to the high intensity of the Premier League.

In a recent report, Tuttomercatoweb stated that Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs hoping to land Bayern Munich talent Kim Min-jae. It has been claimed that Spurs would have to rival Chelsea and Atletico Madrid in the race to land the South Korea international.

Kim’s Impressive Form In German Football

Kim had a solid campaign at the Bavarian club as he put in a string of impressive displays at the heart of their backline. The 28-year-old made 43 appearances for Bayern last season, scoring three times on all fronts.

The South Korean defensive ace was a solid presence inside his half and did well to make 35 tackles, 23 blocks and 37 interceptions in the Bundesliga. He was even accurate when distributing possession from the back after completing 92.5% of his attempted passes in the German top tier (stats via fbref.com).

His current contract at the German club will expire in the summer of 2028. Therefore, it won’t be easy for Tottenham to get a deal done for Kim on the cheap this off-season.

Will Kim Be A Good Choice For Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank?

Kim is a tough-tackling defender who can time his challenges well to earn the ball back for his team inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the offensive and can even play his way out from the back.

Standing at 1.90m, the South Korea international is a strong presence in the air as well. However, only time will tell whether he can make a smooth transition to life in the Premier League if Spurs manage to get him on board this off-season.

Kim would add more bite and steel to Tottenham boss Thomas Frank’s defence. He has what it takes to compete for regular first-team football at the North London club next season.

At 28, Kim is playing in his prime which makes him a decent choice for Spurs to pursue in this summer transfer window. With all things considered, Frank should focus on going all out to win the race for his services ahead of the new campaign as he might help the London club compete for a major trophy over the next few years.

In a recent report, journalist Pete O’Rourke claimed that Tottenham Hotspur remain keen on recruiting Brentford star Yoane Wissa. It is believed that Spurs are ready to intensify their efforts to land the Congolese talent but have still not made a formal offer for him.

Wissa’s Impressive Form In The Premier League

Wissa had an excellent campaign at the English club after he put in a run of impressive displays for them in the final third. The 28-year-old scored 20 times and earned five assists in 39 matches for Brentford last season in multiple competitions.

The Congolese talent gave a good account of himself in the final third as he averaged 2.77 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He kept 45.6% of his attempts on target. Wissa was even excellent when distributing possession in the opponent’s half, as evidenced by his pass success rate of 76.5% in league football (stats via fbref.com).

His current contract at Brentford will run out next summer which could open the door for Tottenham to sign him on a cut-price deal this off-season.

Will Wissa Be A Good Fit For Tottenham Hotspur?

Wissa is a decent dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few driving runs with it out on the flanks. He has got the vision to engineer some inviting chances for his teammates to find the back of the net.

The Congolese sensation can shoot the ball with power from long range. Wissa is primarily a centre-forward but can also play as a wide player on either flank if asked to do so by his manager. He has proven his worth as a consistent goal-scorer in the Premier League and won’t take much time to adjust to life at the North London club.

We can expect Wissa to bring more firepower to Tottenham boss Thomas Frank’s attack. He has what it takes to compete for regular first-team football at the North London club next season.

At 28, Wissa is playing in his prime which makes him a worthy target for Spurs to consider in this summer transfer window. He would be an excellent fit for Tottenham’s needs in the short term, so Frank would be wise to get a deal over the line for him soon.

In a recent report, journalists Danny Rust and Dean Jones claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a move for Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha. It has been stated that Spurs have made contact to land the Portugal international in this summer transfer window.

Palhinha’s Recent Season In German Football

Palhinha had an up-and-down campaign at the Bavarian club as he missed a lot of games due to injury but managed to shine at times for them in the middle of the park. The Portugal international featured in 25 matches for Bayern last season across all fronts.

The 30-year-old made 20 tackles, 13 blocks and four interceptions for the Munich outfit in the Bundesliga. He was excellent when distributing the ball from midfield after completing 92.4% of his attempted passes in league football (stats via fbref.com).

Palhinha’s current deal at the Bavarian club will run out in the summer of 2028 which could make it difficult for Tottenham to snap him up on the cheap in this transfer window.

Should Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank Get Palhinha On Board?

Palhinha is a solid tackler of the ball and can scan the danger well to earn the ball back for his team inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when needed and can even play his way out from midfield. Standing at 1.90m, Palhinha is a strong presence in the air as well.

The Portuguese talent remains an excellent passer of the ball. He already knows the Premier League well from his time at Fulham and won’t take much time to settle into life at Tottenham.

Palhinha would add more bite and steel to Spurs boss Thomas Frank’s midfield department. He is good enough to challenge for a regular starting place at the North London club as long as he can stay injury free next season.

At 30, Palhinha is still enjoying his prime which makes him a decent option for Tottenham to pursue in the short term. He would also help Spurs compete across all fronts over the next couple of years. Therefore, it makes sense for the London giants to get Palhinha on board in this summer transfer period.

In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey mentioned that Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs hoping to sign Manchester City talent Jason McAtee this summer. It has been revealed that Spurs would have to rival Fulham, West Ham United, Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt in the race to land the English attacker.

McAtee’s Impressive Rise In English Football

McAtee managed to catch the eye at times with his performances for Man City in the Premier League last season. The 22-year-old made 27 appearances for the Mancunian club in the previous campaign, scoring seven times in the process across all competitions.

The Salford-born attacker deserves some credit for averaging 3.09 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He kept 33.3% of his attempts on target. McAtee has also been accurate when distributing possession in the opponent’s half after making 80% of his attempted passes in the English top tier (stats via fbref.com).

His current contract at the Etihad Stadium will run out at the end of next season. Hence, Spurs could potentially sign him on a cut-price deal in this summer transfer window.

Will McAtee Be A Decent Fit For Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank?

McAtee is a decent dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make some clever runs with the ball in and around the opponent’s penalty area. He can strike the ball with power from long range and has got the eye to play a few decisive passes in the final third.

The English talent is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also serve as a right-winger or a box-to-box midfielder if needed. However, he needs to find a way to earn regular starts in the Premier League if he wants to improve as a footballer. Thus, Tottenham should only consider going for McAtee if they are planning to play him regularly in top-flight football.

We can expect the English youngster to add more quality and depth to Thomas Frank’s attack in the long run. He would even help Spurs challenge across all fronts in the coming years.

At 22, McAtee has a lot of room to grow as a footballer. Therefore, he would be a great fit for the North London club’s needs in the long run. McAtee already knows the Premier League well and won’t take much time to adjust to life at Tottenham.

In a recent report, Fichajes stated that Tottenham Hotspur are on the hunt to land Atalanta striker Ademola Lookman. It has been mentioned that Spurs would have to rival Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest and Atletico Madrid in the race to land the Nigerian talent this summer.

Lookman’s Impressive Run Of Form In Serie A

Lookman enjoyed a decent run of form at the Italian club after he put in a string of impressive displays for them in the final third. The 27-year-old scored 20 times and picked up seven assists in 40 matches for Atalanta last season across various competitions.

The Nigerian talent did well to average 3.24 shots per 90 minutes in Serie A. He kept 39.5% of his shots on target. However, Lookman needs to improve his ball distribution after making 72.5% of his attempted passes in the Italian top tier (stats via fbref.com).

Lookman is under contract at the Italian club until the summer of 2027. Hence, Spurs would have to launch a convincing offer if they are serious about signing him this off-season.

Should Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank Bring Lookman On Board?

Lookman can use his pace well to get the better of his marker out in the wide areas. He has got the vision to create a few promising chances for his teammates in the final third and is a decent dribbler with the ball at his feet. Lookman is primarily a striker but can also function as a winger if required.

The Nigerian talent has been a consistent goal-getter in Serie A. However, only time will tell whether he can maintain his good form in the Premier League if Tottenham manage to bring him on board this summer.

We can expect Lookman to bring more pace and goals to Spurs boss Thomas Frank’s frontline. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at the North London club next season.

Lookman would undoubtedly add more competition for Dominic Solanke and could help Tottenham challenge across all fronts in the coming years. At 27, he is about to enter his prime soon which makes him a decent option for Spurs to pursue this summer. All in all, Frank would be wise to bring Lookman on board this off-season.

In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey stated that Tottenham Hotspur are preparing to move in for West Ham United winger Mohammed Kudus this summer. It has been revealed that Spurs are eyeing a move to bring the Ghanaian wide player to North London this off-season.

Kudus’ Impressive Season In The Premier League

Kudus enjoyed a decent run of form at the East London club after he put in a string of impressive displays in the final third. The Accra-born talent registered five goals and picked up four assists in 35 matches for West Ham last season across various competitions.

The 24-year-old deserves some credit for averaging 2.61 shots per 90 minutes in Premier League football. However, he kept only 28% of his attempts on target. Kudus distributed the ball accurately in the opponent’s half based on his pass completion rate of 83.6% in the English first division (stats via fbref.com).

His current contract at the East London club will expire in the summer of 2028. Hence, Spurs would have to make a convincing offer if they are serious about recruiting Kudus this off-season.

Is Kudus A Decent Choice For Tottenham Hotspur?

Kudus is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make some dangerous runs in and around the opponent’s penalty area. He can shoot the ball with power from long range and has got the vision to engineer a few promising chances for his teammates in the final third.

The Ghana international is primarily a right-winger but can also play as a left-sided wide player but can also fill in as an attacking midfielder if required.

We can expect Kudus to bring more firepower to Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank’s attack. He is good enough to compete for a regular first-team spot at the North London club next season.

At 24, Kudus has his best years ahead of him which makes him a great choice for Spurs to consider in this summer transfer window. He already knows the Premier League well and won’t take much time to settle into life at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Therefore, Frank should focus on trying everything in his power to get Kudus on board ahead of the new campaign.
