Exclusive: Tottenham Want to Sign 'Outrageous' Star to Play With Bergvall - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham Hotspur target Roony Bardghji has been alerted to admiration coming from Hotspur Way and the Copenhagen star could choose to link-up with Sweden under-21 teammate Lucas Bergvall instead of joining one of the north Londoners' domestic rivals during the summer, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Spurs are preparing to face Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday and, despite already knowing that there is an obligation to buy Kevin Danso for £20.9million at the end of his initial loan switch from Lens, boss Ange Postecoglou is eager to upgrade his squad when the transfer window reopens.

Mathys Tel has given the Greek-Australian tactician another attacking option in the second half of the season, thanks to completing a temporary move which includes a £45million option to join permanently, but Bardghji has been earmarked as an up-and-coming talent who could head to Tottenham in the coming months.

Bardghji Knows Spurs Are Among His Suitors

North Londoners one of many sides monitoring teenager

Bardghji is aware that Tottenham want to sign him after they have maintained a long-term interest, according to GMS sources, and the capital club are increasingly confident that the prospect of pairing up with international teammate Bergvall will be enticing when he decides whether to embark on a fresh challenge.

The wide forward has been described as an 'outrageous talent' by scout Jacek Kulig and, having worked his way back into Copenhagen's plans after spending a lengthy period out of action due to a cruciate ligament injury, Spurs have been eager to keep tabs on his performances.

GMS sources have been informed that Bardghji's return to the fray has sparked fresh interest from the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Newcastle United, but Tottenham are also long-term admirers and are monitoring his situation after he has been limited to just five appearances in all competitions this season.

The teenager has an existing relationship with Bergvall, who has been on Spurs' books since sealing a switch worth £8.5million from Djurgardens last year, and there is hope that the opportunity to unite with the midfielder after they have played alongside each other for the Sweden under-21 side will persuade him to make north London his preferred destination.

Bardghji has known that Tottenham have been among his suitors for a prolonged period, GMS sources have learned, and he is an increasingly attractive option for Postecoglou as he is on course to be available for less than £10million due to his Copenhagen contract being set to expire at the end of 2025.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Roony Bardghji registered four accurate long passes and won two duels during Copenhagen's victory over AGF last weekend

Postecoglou Sends Scouts to Watch Bardghji

Tactician in danger of facing competition for summer agreement

GMS sources have been told that Tottenham are among the sides to have sent scouts to watch Bardghji since making a full recovery from his long-term lay-off, but they are facing stiff competition as Newcastle and Aston Villa have already been in touch with his representatives to make sure they are kept in the loop ahead of a potential move.

The 19-year-old was ruled out for up to 12 months when he suffered a serious knee problem during a training session ahead of Copenhagen's Championship play-off round clash with Silkeborg in May 2024, but the Premier League has remained a potential destination due to being held in high regard.

Tottenham's pursuit is further complicated thanks to Chelsea seeing Bardghji as a perfect profile for their squad, GMS sources understand, while Manchester City also like him and are threatening to enter negotiations as he fits into their plans to secure up-and-coming talent when the transfer window reopens.

The Copenhagen fan favourite is not the only wide forward on Postecoglou's radar as GMS sources recently revealed that Spurs have a serious interest in recruiting Lyon's Rayan Cherki after his representatives have made fresh contact in a bid to gauge whether a bid could be made.

Tottenham Must Sack Postecoglou and Hire ‘Incredible’ Free Agent Manager

Tottenham Must Sack Postecoglou and Hire ‘Incredible’ Free Agent Manager - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham Hotspur's summer transfer rumour mill will be dominated by which manager they have in the north London hotseat come the start of next season - with Ange Postecoglou's reign in the capital potentially coming to an end.

An abysmal season in the Premier League sees Spurs sitting in 16th place in the top-flight, just one point above 17th-placed West Ham United - and a strong end to the campaign by the Hammers could see Postecoglou's men become the 'worst of the rest', with only the three relegated sides being worse than the Lilywhites. That has made Postecoglou's position untenable, with only their Europa League run saving his bacon in what has been a largely underwhelming season - leading to other managers being touted for the role.

Edin Terzic's Borussia Dortmund Credentials Show He'd be a Good Tottenham Appointment

The German has been strong in both of his spells at the Signal Iduna Park

That has led to reports from Germany that Edin Terzic, the former manager of Borussia Dortmund, would want the gig at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium should the Australian gaffer be sacked in the coming weeks - and it's an appointment that would make sense for all parties.

The 42-year-old has only managed Dortmund, over two different spells - but both have been equally successful in their own right. The former West Ham assistant, who was under the guise of Slaven Bilic in his time in the East End, took over the Bundesliga giants in the Covid-stricken 2020/21 campaign on an interim basis - and ended up winning the German Cup that season before being succeeded by Marco Rose at the end of the campaign. But his compatriot struggled and left by mutual consent after just a year, leading Terzic to the permanent role.

He only lost out on the Bundesliga title on goal difference to Bayern Munich after being stunned 2-2 at home to Mainz on the final day, but determined not to let his side down again, he led them to an outstanding Champions League run, only being beaten in the final against Real Madrid - leading to him being called 'incredible' by Dortmund's CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke - before resigning at the end of the campaign.

Free Agent Status Means Tottenham Must go for Terzic

The German wouldn't cost a penny in compensation

Out of work for almost a year now, Terzic is keen to get back into the managerial game - and with Tottenham potentially in the market for a new boss, the young coach could be the ideal pickup. Not only does he want the job, but Terzic would be available on a free - which would be fiscally suited to owner Daniel Levy, as he wouldn't have to fork out compensation for his signature, as opposed to other targets such as Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola, who continues to be linked.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Terzic scored 23 league goals in 188 appearances in his club career, before retiring aged 31.

Terzic won 75 of his 128 games in charge of Dortmund, only losing 29 in that time - and his attacking style of play would be well suited in the English capital, especially taking over from Postecoglou, who has an 'all or nothing' mantra that has been exposed in large parts this season. Tottenham may not opt for Terzic with other managers who have adapted well to the Premier League being on their radar, but he'd certainly be a strong appointment given his credentials in his homeland.

Exclusive: Tottenham Want 'Future Ballon d'Or Winner' After 'New Contact' - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are giving indications that they want to win the race to land Rayan Cherki after members of the Lyon star's entourage reached out to influential figures at Hotspur Way and Premier League rivals to gauge whether they are keen to acquire his services this summer, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Spurs raided Ligue 1 during the winter transfer window, with central defender Kevin Danso joining on an initial loan deal which includes a £20.9million obligation to buy from Lens, and boss Ange Postecoglou is threatening to return to France as he goes in search of more reinforcements before next term.

Plenty of ambition was shown ahead of the campaign getting underway, leading to Dominic Solanke becoming the most expensive acquisition in Tottenham's history in August, and chairman Daniel Levy has been playing a role in pinpointing targets despite the north Londoners preparing for their Europa League semi-final first leg against Bodo/Glimt.

Spurs Hold Discussions Over Move for Cherki

North Londoners sounded out ahead of transfer window reopening

Tottenham have a real interest in signing Cherki, according to GMS sources, and there has been new contact from the Frenchman's representatives as they want to discover before the end of the season whether a move to the Premier League would be possible when the transfer window reopens.

The winger is preparing to enter the final 12 months of a contract which allows him to pocket in excess of £65,000-per-week, leading to his entourage being eager to find out whether any suitors are prepared to head to the negotiating table and test current employers Lyon's resolve in the summer.

GMS sources have been informed that Tottenham are not the only side being sounded out as domestic counterparts Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle United and Manchester City have found themselves in a similar position as Cherki's agent aims to identify potential landing spots after a productive campaign.

The 21-year-old has been described as a 'future Ballon d'Or winner' thanks to his performances in a Lyon shirt and has worked his way onto Postecoglou's radar as the Greek-Australian tactician goes in search of securing additional creativity in the final third of the pitch.

Cherki has been in two minds over whether to head to the Premier League, GMS sources have learned, and he is unlikely to entertain a move to Tottenham's fellow suitors Fulham, Crystal Palace or West Ham United as he will only consider joining a side battling for regular European qualification and silverware.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Rayan Cherki made three key passes and grabbed an assist during Lyon's win over Rennes last weekend

Cherki's Game-Changing Ability Catching Eye

Admirers have discovered what it would take to reach agreement

GMS sources have been told that Tottenham are admirers of Cherki's game-changing ability and, in a significant boost for Postecoglou, Manchester United's interest has started to fade even though he could be given the green-light to embark on a fresh challenge for as little as £25million.

Spurs were among the suitors to send scouts to watch the Lyon academy graduate in action earlier this month, ahead of potentially upping the ante by heading to the negotiating table, and it has become increasingly likely that he will move onto pastures new when the transfer window reopens.

Liverpool and Arsenal would be the most enticing options for Cherki, GMS sources understand, but there is scepticism over whether they will enter discussions over a switch, while Manchester City chief Pep Guardiola is in the market for an attacker matching his profile.

Postecoglou is eager to make his side more prolific, with GMS sources recently revealing that Spurs have been pinpointed as a likely destination for Victor Boniface amid uncertainty over his long-term future on the books of Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen, and there is determination to bring in further reinforcements.

'Incredible' Manager Wants to Replace Postecoglou at Tottenham

'Incredible' Manager Wants to Replace Postecoglou at Tottenham - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham Hotspur could be in the market for a new manager in the coming months, and according to German outlet SportBILD, Edin Terzic wants to take over from Ange Postecoglou after rejecting West Ham United earlier in the season.

Postecoglou is under immense pressure in north London as his Tottenham side battle towards the relegation zone of the Premier League. His job appears to be under threat, but he remains in the hot seat with Spurs competing in the Europa League semi-final on Thursday night.

A host of managers are being linked with taking over from Postecoglou, undoubtedly applying more pressure on the Australian manager. GIVEMESPORT sources recently confirmed that even if Tottenham win the Europa League, Postecoglou might not be able to keep his job.

Edin Terzic Wants Tottenham Job

He wants to return to management

According to a report from SportBILD (via Sport Witness), former Borussia Dortmund manager Terzic is interested in taking over from Postecoglou if Tottenham were to sack their manager. The 42-year-old is currently a free agent, and if Tottenham were to make him an offer, he'd immediately be keen on entering discussions.

Terzic also rejected an offer from West Ham earlier in the season before they opted to appoint Graham Potter.

Terzic, labelled 'incredible' by Hans-Joachim Watzke, left Dortmund at the end of last season, and he's been out of work ever since. GIVEMESPORT sources confirmed back in January that Tottenham were interested in the German manager, but they opted to keep Postecoglou at the time.

The sacking of Postecoglou feels inevitable at this stage after losing 19 Premier League games this season. Spurs currently sit in 16th place in England's top flight with just 37 points, but the supporters will be hoping a Europa League victory could salvage their season.

Tottenham have an excellent chance of reaching the final of the competition, with a two-legged tie standing in their way of facing either Athletic Club or Manchester United in the final.

Tottenham v Bodo/Glimt Predicted Starting Lineups for Europa League Semi-Final Amid Son Update - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham and Bodø/Glimt will go head-to-head in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final clash on Thursday night at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Ange Postecoglou desperate for a positive result.

Spurs were thrashed 5-1 at Anfield on Sunday in the Premier League to add further comiserations to their domestic campaign, while Bodø/Glimt claimed a 3-0 win in their league on Sunday to come into this game in good form.

Both teams have got some injury concerns ahead of the game too, and this is how GIVEMESPORT expect the sides to line up.

Tottenham Team News

Son ruled out

Postecoglou will be without and star forward Heung-Min Son for the game having missed the last four games with a foot injury.

The only other injury problem for Spurs is long-term absentee Radu Dragusin, who won't play again this season due to a serious knee problem. Antonin Kinsky, Sergio Reguilon, Timo Werner and Fraser Forster are all ineligible too.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Postecoglou shared an update on the squad for the game.

"Son won't feature tomorrow night. He's still separate from the group and hopefully we can get him back soon.

"I think we're in a good place. Looking at the output of players we've got some good minutes into players who needed it and managed the others. Players like Romero and Van de Ven have missed so much of the season, it's not just about getting back but how you manage when they come back. Dom played 60 minutes, Madders 45. They're all in a good place physically."

Tottenham Predicted XI

Kulusevksi and Maddison to start

Tottenham Predicted XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Bergvall; Kulusevski, Maddison, Tel; Solanke.

Tottenham Predicted Substitutes: Whiteman (GK), Austin (GK), Spence (DEF), Davies (DEF), Danso (DEF), Gray (MID), Sarr (MID), Bissouma (MID), Johnson (FWD), Richarlison (FWD), Moore (FWD), Odobert (FWD).

Spurs have a near-full strength squad to choose from and that should see Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison start in attacking midfield together.

£245,000-a-week trio Richarlison, Ben Davies and Archie Gray are likely to be on the bench.

Bodo/Glimt Team News

Big issues to deal with for Knutsen

Bodø/Glimt are without two of their three starting central midfielders for Thursday's game in north London with Hakon Evjen and captain Patrick Berg suspended for the visitors.

Odin Bjortuft was forced off with a groin injury in the win over KFUM and is set to miss out, while Ole Didrik Blomberg is also missing. Daniel Bassi, Gaute Vetti and Andreas Helmersen all miss out as well.

Exclusive: Tottenham 'More Likely' to Sign 'World-Class' Striker Than PL Rivals - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham Hotspur could win the race to sign Victor Boniface as Hotspur Way has been identified as a viable destination after current employers Bayer Leverkusen have shown a willingness to sanction his departure during the summer transfer window, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Although Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou bolstered his attacking options ahead of the campaign getting underway, with Dominic Solanke becoming the most expensive recruit in the north Londoners' history when he sealed a £65million switch from Bournemouth in August, there remains an appetite to secure additional firepower.

Mathys Tel may also be kept at Tottenham, thanks to there being a £45million option to buy the Frenchman at the end of his initial loan move from Bayern Munich, but Boniface is firmly on the capital club's radar as they make preparations for their Europa League semi-final first leg clash with Bodo/Glimt.

Postecoglou Could Win Race to Sign Boniface

Nigeria international on course to leave current surroundings

Tottenham has become the most likely Premier League landing spot for Boniface, according to GMS sources, with the north Londoners refusing to rule out the possibility of attempting to take advantage of him being put on the market by Bayer Leverkusen ahead of the summer transfer window opening for business.

The German giants are prepared to sell the striker if a bid in the region of £43million is lodged in the coming months, having struggled to rediscover the form that spearheaded his current employers to the Bundesliga title last season, and Spurs are contemplating whether to up the ante.

GMS sources have been informed that Tottenham have been alerted to Boniface's availability and, after initially including him on their shortlist of targets less than 12 months ago, are increasingly confident that he will be allowed to embark on a fresh challenge if Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso walks away from the dugout.

The Nigeria international saw a big-money move to Al-Nassr fall through midway through the season, thanks to the Saudi Pro League big-spenders opting to land Jhon Duran from Aston Villa instead, and Spurs are mulling over whether they should profit from the situation by pouncing.

Alonso has supported Boniface during tough periods in Germany, GMS sources have learned, but his expected departure from the Bayer Leverkusen hot-seat could open the door for Tottenham as they go in search of fresh competition for Solanke at the same time as there being doubts over captain Heung-min Son's long-term future.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Victor Boniface has been averaging a goal every 127 minutes in the Bundesliga this season

Spurs Face Stiff Competition to Land Boniface

North Londoners are not only Premier League side showing interest

GMS sources have been told that Tottenham are facing competition for Boniface's services as West Ham United are also being seen as a viable option thanks to them taking note of his availability when spreading the net wide as they seek a new first-choice marksman ahead of Graham Potter's first full season at the helm.

The Hammers are interested in finding out more about Bayer Leverkusen's demands for the 24-year-old, who has been described as 'world-class', meaning that Spurs may be forced to act quickly if they want to ensure that they come out on top in the battle for a summer agreement instead of their London rivals.

Tottenham and West Ham are the most likely destinations for Boniface if he opts to embark on a fresh challenge in the Premier League, GMS sources understand, despite the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool also being linked with wanting to recruit him less than 12 months ago.

Spurs are eager to upgrade their squad after spending lengthy spells of the campaign sitting just above the relegation zone, and GMS sources recently revealed that an enquiry for Conor Gallagher may be launched in an attempt to discover whether Atletico Madrid are prepared to cash in.

Champions League Club 'Ready to Bid £42.5m' for 'World-Class' Tottenham Star

Champions League Club 'Ready to Bid £42.5m' for 'World-Class' Tottenham Star - GiveMeSport
Description

Atletico Madrid are preparing a £42.5m offer to sign Tottenham star Cristian Romero this summer, according to Fichajes.net.

The Argentina international has missed chunks of the current season due to injury as Spurs have fallen to a horrific 19 defeats in the Premier League this season, while also making it to the Europa League and Carabao Cup semi-finals.

But the 27-year-old's future in north London is now up in the air amid interest from some of Europe's biggest clubs, and Atletico Madrid are ready to make an offer after making him their priority target for the window.

Atletico Madrid Prepare Offer for Tottenham Star

Romero wants to leave but Spurs want more money

Atletico are prioritising a move for a new central defender this summer with Clement Lenglet set to return to Barcelona at the end of his loan spell, and Romero is someone that Diego Simeone absolutely loves.

The Madrid club are now preparing to make an opening offer for the World Cup winner, who has been described as "world-class", worth around £42.5m. However, Tottenham are likely to demand around £60m for their vice-captain, who will have two years remaining on his contract this summer.

Atletico Madrid are hopeful that they can negotiate that figure down though, with the former Juventus defender recently admitting that he wants to play in Spain in his career, and with Spurs not having Champions League football to offer unless they end their 17-year trophy drought by winning the Europa League.

The club are also keen to get a deal over the line before the Club World Cup starts, which could see negotiations accelerated in the coming weeks between the clubs.

GMS sources previously reported that chairman Daniel Levy has softened his stance on Romero and he would be open to a sale for the right figure.

Exclusive: £9m Tottenham Star 'Targeted by Real Madrid' After Major Development - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham Hotspur star Lucas Bergvall will remain on the radar of La Liga title-chasers Real Madrid and the possibility of being the subject of a Bernabeu bid in the coming years has not been ruled out despite his decision to pen a new long-term contract at Hotspur Way, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Spurs showed plenty of ambition ahead of the campaign getting underway, with Dominic Solanke becoming the most expensive acquisition in the north Londoners' history thanks to completing a £65million move from Bournemouth, and boss Ange Postecoglou could end their trophy drought by tasting Europa League glory.

Preparations are being made for Tottenham's semi-final first leg against Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt and, despite knowing that they have an obligation to buy Kevin Danso for £20.9million when his loan switch from Lens expires, they have chosen to reward Bergvall with fresh terms.

Bergvall Boasting Interest Despite Fresh Deal

Central midfielder pinpointed as potential future signing at Bernabeu

Bergvall is being tracked by European giants Real Madrid, according to GMS sources, and the Spanish heavyweights are planning to continue keeping tabs on his performances despite his decision to commit his long-term future to Tottenham by signing a new contract earlier this week.

The central midfielder insisted that he has ambitions to 'win everything' in a Spurs shirt after penning a fresh six-year deal which is due to keep him in the capital until 2031, but Los Blancos have remained undeterred and are still entertaining the possibility of eventually attempting to offer an exit route.

GMS sources have been informed that Bergvall will not walk away from Tottenham during the summer transfer window, having put pen-to-paper, but Real Madrid are interested in making him a future signing as they are determined to recruit the leading talents of his generation in the coming years.

Spurs parted with close to £9million in order to recruit the Sweden international from Djurgardens last year, beating Barcelona to his signature in the process, and he has gone on to make himself a key component of Postecoglou's plans despite facing competition from the likes of Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr.

Real Madrid are adamant that Bergvall has a very high ceiling, GMS sources have learned, and they are keen to enter negotiations with Tottenham further down the line even though the big development of him signing a new contract has resulted in them accepting that a move in the coming months is not on the cards.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Lucas Bergvall won five ground duels and made two interceptions during Tottenham Hotspur's defeat to Liverpool last weekend

Bergvall Pleased with Growth in North London

Teenager remains convinced recruitment strategy will pay off

GMS sources have been told that Bergvall is fully committed to Tottenham after being rewarded with a new contract, complicating matters for Real Madrid, and he has a desire to become an even more important member of the squad after being pleased with his personal growth over the course of the campaign.

The 19-year-old has been gaining admiring glances thanks to his performances in a Spurs shirt, leading to him being described as 'unstoppable' by Manchester City chief Pep Guardiola, but Los Blancos' interest was not enough to convince him to snub the opportunity to agree fresh terms in north London.

Bergvall is loving life at Tottenham and believes his current employers' recruitment strategy will pay off, GMS sources understand, resulting in him not being concerned about being in the bottom half of the Premier League and at risk of missing out on securing European qualification for next season.

There remains uncertainty over Postecoglou's future at the helm, with GMS sources recently revealing that Spurs are considering Jurgen Klopp, Xabi Alonso and Carlo Ancelotti as potential successors, but the teenager did not hesitate when he was handed the chance to clinch an improved deal.

Tottenham Transfer Could Collapse as 'Extraordinary' Star Now Doubting Move

Tottenham Transfer Could Collapse as 'Extraordinary' Star Now Doubting Move - GiveMeSport
Description

Real Betis midfielder Johnny Cardoso is ‘not convinced’ about signing for Tottenham Hotspur this summer, according to Spanish outlet ABC Sevilla (via Sport Witness).

The USA international reportedly has reservations over an offseason move to North London due to Spurs’ poor domestic form, as they sit just 16th in the league with four games to go.

Ange Postecoglou’s side are now heading for their worst Premier League finish to date, having never ended up outside the top 15 since the competition’s inaugural season in 1992/93.

While they can still qualify for next season’s Champions League by winning the Europa League, failure to do so could prove to be a huge blow in their pursuit of one of their summer targets.

Jhonny Cardoso Not Keen on Spurs Move

Their poor domestic form is the reason

According to ABC Sevilla, Cardoso will have the final say over a potential move to Spurs this summer, despite the Lilywhites holding an option to buy the 23-year-old for £21m.

At present, he is reportedly ‘not convinced’ about a move, and there is a chance Real Betis could keep him for another season.

Cardoso, praised as ‘extraordinary’, is believed to have multiple suitors in the Premier League amid an impressive season in La Liga, where Betis are sixth with five games remaining.

The 23-year-old has made 40 appearances across all competitions, scoring four goals and providing two assists.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Cardoso has yet to score or assist in 18 appearances for the United States.

Tottenham are likely to resolve Postecoglou’s future before pursuing any new signings, and there is a growing feeling the Australian could depart at the end of the season.

Spurs have already begun drawing up a list of potential successors, with Burnley boss Scott Parker among the names.

Fabrizio Romano: Update on Tottenham Hiring 'One of the Best Coaches in Europe'

Fabrizio Romano: Update on Tottenham Hiring 'One of the Best Coaches in Europe' - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move to appoint Niko Kovac to replace Ange Postecoglou, and Fabrizio Romano, writing in his exclusive GIVEMESPORT newsletter, has provided an update on the situation.

Postecoglou's position is under scrutiny despite guiding the team to the Europa League semi-finals, where they face Bodo/Glimt in the first leg on Thursday. Despite a promising start, Spurs have suffered 19 Premier League defeats, equaling their worst-ever record from the 1993–94 season, and currently sit 16th in the table.

Kovac, who was appointed as Borussia Dortmund's head coach in January 2025, signed an 18-month contract with the Bundesliga club, being labelled as one of the 'best coaches in Europe' in the process. He's now being linked with a move to north London, and Romano has responded to those claims.

Nothing advanced

Writing in his exclusive GIVEMESPORT newsletter, Romano has suggested that he's not aware of anything advanced between Tottenham and Kovac at this stage. The respected reporter adds that Spurs won't make a decision on sacking Postecoglou until after the Europa League semi-final...

"I’m not aware of anything advanced on this one yet, Spurs will not make any decision now with the Europa League semi finals due to start soon."

It's been a catastrophic campaign for Spurs as they sit in the bottom half of the Premier League table. The north London club do have chance of salvaging something from their season by winning the Europa League, which would see them qualify for the Champions League.

Whether that will save Postecoglou's job remains to be seen, but GIVEMESPORT sources have confirmed that there's no guarantee he stays in charge, even if he brings home a trophy. Tottenham's form domestically has been simply unacceptable and will would be no surprise to see Postecoglou relieved of his duties if they are eliminated from the Europa League in the coming weeks.
