Tottenham Hotspur have tabled a £70m bid to sign Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo ahead of Manchester United, according to The Mirror.

The Lilywhites finalised the appointment of manager Thomas Frank this week from the Bees as they replaced Ange Postecoglou despite winning the Europa League in the 2024/25 campaign, earning them Champions League football for next season.

Now the Dane is looking to reunite with the Cameroon international in north London, and chairman Daniel Levy has now tabled a formal offer for the forward.

Tottenham Table £70m Bid for Mbeumo

Bid worth £10m more than Man Utd's opening offer

Mbeumo, who has been described as 'unplayable', was the subject of an offer from Manchester United last week after declaring that a move to Old Trafford was his preference for this summer.

But since then Frank has swapped west London for north London, and he wants Mbeumo to follow him instead of moving to Manchester.

According to The Mirror, Tottenham have now formally tabled an offer worth £65m plus £5m in add-ons, an offer worth £10m more than the Red Devils' offer last week which was rejected. While their offer hasn't been responded too yet, it's still believed that Mbeumo would prefer to move Old Trafford.

It was reported earlier on Friday that Spurs had held talks with Brentford about a move for the 25-year-old, and it's believed that they had received encouragement about getting a deal done.

Mbeumo is open to a move to Tottenham to reunite with Frank, although his priority is still Man Utd. However, while Brentford await a new bid from the Reds that is closer to their valuation, Spurs have a chance to hijack the deal.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly beginning the process of suing Sir Jim Ratcliffe's INEOS. The billionaire, alongside his company INEOS, has been in control of Manchester United since late 2023 after they purchased a 28.94% stake in the club from the Glazers.

He's not been a popular figure at Old Trafford following his arrival, though, with a number of different cost-cutting schemes leaving the fanbase and personnel involved within the side unimpressed. Ratcliffe took charge during a tumultuous time for the Red Devils, with the club in debt and struggling on the pitch.

Their fortunes haven't improved under his regime either, recently recording their lowest ever Premier League finish as they concluded the 2024/25 campaign in 15th. Life at the club hasn't been smooth sailing for Ratcliffe and things are only getting worse as Tottenham have revealed their intention to sue his company, INEOS, with a lawsuit recently filed.

A lawsuit was filed on Thursday

After beating United in the Europa League final to secure Champions League football, Tottenham are now causing Ratcliffe and INEOS more trouble as it was announced that they are suing the company. As reported by Sky Sports, a lawsuit was filed on Thursday, with Spurs suing INEOS due to the company exiting a sponsorship deal with the club last December, just three years into a five-year agreement.

According to Sky Sports, INEOS have since responded by claiming that they had a contractual right to back out of the deal, but only time will tell how the situation unfolds. Tottenham were contacted for a statement by Sky Sports, but the club hasn't reponsded at the time of writing.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly held initial talks with Brentford and could hijack Manchester United's move for Bryan Mbeumo, who is 'intrigued'.

Sky Sports reports that Thomas Frank's appointment at Spurs has improved their chances of signing Mbeumo. The Lilywhites have long courted the Cameroonian forward, who excelled under their new manager at the Gtech last season.

Mbeumo, 25, has been the subject of talks between Manchester United and Brentford, with a move to Old Trafford being his preferred option. He snubbed interest from Champions League competitors Newcastle United and Arsenal, but the Red Devils have struggled to agree on a deal.

Mbeumo 'Enticed' By Tottenham Amid Frank Arrival

Spurs have been given "encouragement"

United's failure to agree on a deal for Mbeumo, thought to be valued at £70m, before Frank's appointment has thrown Tottenham right into the race. The Lilywhites have been in contact with Brentford, and there is encouragement over a potential reunion between the player and manager.

Sky Sports News stated:

"Tottenham have held initial discussions with Brentford about a deal for Bryan Mbeumo. Mbeumo is understood to be more intrigued by a move to Tottenham now that Thomas Frank has become their head coach. Spurs have received encouragement about a potential deal. Man United had a £55m bid rejected for Mbeumo before Spurs started talks to hire Frank."

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Bryan Mbeumo finished joint fourth in the Premier League's Golden Boot race last season.

Tottenham are expected to be in the market for a new attacker this summer and have also been showing interest in Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo. However, Frank knows Mbeumo extremely well, having overseen his development at Brentford since bringing him to England in 2019.

Mbeumo, dubbed "insane", became the Dane's talisman last season, hitting a superb tally of 20 Premier League goals. He displayed versatility, playing in his preferred right-wing position but also centrally in a formidable partnership with Yoane Wissa.

It's thought that United have offered Mbeumo a £200,000-per-week contract if he is to make the move to Amorim's side. But their failure to beat Spurs in the Europa League final means they'll be without Champions League football next season, while Frank's men qualified.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly edged closer to completing a deal for AS Roma youngster Niccolo Pisilli, who could become Thomas Frank's first signing.

Pisilli is currently representing Italy at the U21 European Championships, and he's been one to watch in Slovakia. He's an intelligent midfielder who has demonstrated a solid understanding of the game, complemented by a tireless work ethic.

The 20-year-old made his senior debut for Roma under former Spurs boss Jose Mourinho, who is a fan, in 2023 and has since become a regular at the Stadio Olimpico. He has four years left on his contract, but could be part of the Lilywhites' expected rebuild to ensue under new manager Frank.

Tottenham Look Set To Seal Pisilli Signing

The Italian fits the North Londoners' vision

French journalist Sebastian Vidal reports that Tottenham have "finalised the basics of a deal" for Pisilli and that the Roma talent has been targeted as part of the club's youth-focused recruitment strategy. He suggests that the transfer is likely to go through once the U21 European Championships conclude on June 28.

GIVEMESPORT Key Achievement: Niccolo Pisilli is set to be named Serie A's Best Young Player of the Year.

Tottenham announced the appointment of Frank on Thursday, and the Dane has officially replaced Ange Postecoglou. The club's Europa League qualification granted them a place in the UEFA Champions League, and Daniel Levy will look to overhaul a squad that struggled in the Premier League.

A move for Pislli, dubbed 'incredible' by Daniele De Rossi, isn't a surprise, given the profile of players targeted over the past few years, but it may suggest that such a strategy will continue. Archie Gray, 19, Lucas Bergvall, 19, and Antonin Kinsky, 22, are among those under 25 to arrive in recent windows.

Spurs may be looking for a long-term replacement for Yves Bissouma, whose deal is set to expire next year and is linked with Leeds United. Pisilli isn't the only young central midfielder on their radar amid reports suggesting they have shown an interest in Middlesbrough's Hayden Hackney.

Tottenham Hotspur could grant incoming boss Thomas Frank another wish in the transfer market when it comes to raiding his former club Brentford - with young midfielder Yehor Yarmolyuk thought to be in their sights ahead of the summer months.

Brentford boss Frank is expected to make his way across the capital in the coming weeks, and with Champions League football to contend with, a huge budget is set to be handed to the Danish tactician. Star man Bryan Mbeumo and ever-present defender Nathan Collins have already been tipped to make the move with their gaffer, and Yarmolyuk could make it a hat-trick of players to move from west London to the north of the city.

Report: Tottenham 'Keeping Tabs' on Yarmolyuk This Summer

The Brentford star has started to cement his way into the Premier League

The report by CaughtOffside says that Tottenham are 'keeping tabs' on Yarmolyuk's situation, with Brentford having set a price tag of around €30million (£25.5million) for his services.

The 21-year-old midfielder joined Brentford for just over £1million back in 2022, initially spending the first year with their 'B' team, before embarking on a spell under Frank over the past two seasons.

However, despite Tottenham's interest, Brentford are aiming to keep him in and around the squad rather than prioritising a sale, and with a contract running until 2031 that could mark a stumbling block for Danish boss Frank once his move to Tottenham is confirmed.

Other Premier League clubs such as Burnley and Everton are thought to be closely tracking the midfielder, but have yet to make a formal approach - and his versatility has caught the attention of Frank.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Yehor Yarmolyuk has two caps for Ukraine.

Tottenham need depth in central midfield, and with current stars Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur both being inconsistent this season, Frank knows what he can get out of the former Dnipro star. That could propel Tottenham back to their former level, having only finished 17th in the Premier League this season, a record low for the club since the competition's inauguration in 1992.

Tottenham have been told they will have to break their transfer record to sign Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo this summer, talkSPORT journalist Alex Crook has revealed.

The Europa League winners are eyeing reinforcements for their attacking line-up ahead of a new era under Thomas Frank and have reportedly earmarked Semenyo as an option.

The Ghana international has attracted Spurs’ attention after his career-best Premier League season, so much so that Semenyo’s advisers have reportedly met chairman Daniel Levy recently to discuss a potential move to North London.

However, Bournemouth are in no rush to sell Semenyo following Dean Huijsen’s move to Real Madrid for £50m and are standing firm on their hefty valuation of the 25-year-old winger.

Bournemouth value the 25-year-old at £70million

According to Crook, Bournemouth are demanding £70m for Semenyo this summer and are unlikely to soften their stance amid growing market interest.

If Spurs meet the Cherries’ demands, a deal for Semenyo would make him the club’s most expensive signing ever, eclipsing the £65m they paid Bournemouth for Dominic Solanke last summer.

Semenyo, praised as ‘exceptional’, enjoyed a career-best Premier League campaign at the Vitality Stadium, scoring 11 goals and providing six assists in 37 appearances.

He ended the season on a particularly strong run of form, registering five goal contributions in his final seven league matches.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Semenyo has scored three goals in 27 appearances for Ghana.

Tottenham are now close to appointing Frank as their new manager, having reached an agreement over personal terms with the Dane.

Frank is set to become Spurs’ fourth permanent manager in four years and will succeed Ange Postecoglou, who was relieved of his duties last week despite leading the club to Europa League triumph in May.

Tottenham Hotspur are now set to complete the appointment of Thomas Frank after an agreement was struck to take Justin Cochrane as assistant, according to David Ornstein.

Spurs have been in the market for a new manager after Ange Postecoglou was sacked, despite lifting the Europa League trophy. There were plenty of rumours surrounding his future with the European victory casting doubt over whether he would be relieved of his duties, but Daniel Levy ultimately made the decision to part ways with the Australian manager.

Attention quickly turned to finding his replacement, with Frank identified as a priority target. The Danish manager has been still under contract at Brentford, understandably making a deal slightly more difficult than bringing in a manager who is a free agent.

Tottenham to Complete Thomas Frank Appointment

Brentford trio set to join him

Ornstein has now reported that Tottenham are set to complete the appointment of Frank after an agreement was struck to bring Cochrane as his assistant, while Chris Haslam and Joe Newton will also join the club as part of the coaching staff.

The Athletic reporter has confirmed that the deal was being held up by the situation of Cochrane, with Brentford hoping to keep him at the club. An appointment is now edging closer to completion, with Levy getting his man in time for pre-season.

It's no surprise that Tottenham identified Frank as the right manager, considering the job he's done at Brentford. Frank helped gain promotion to the Premier League, and it didn't take long for the Bees to develop into a fully-fledged top-flight side with minimal threat of relegation.

It will be interesting to see how he is able to cope at a bigger club with a bigger budget, and there's every chance it allows him to go to the next level as a manager. There's no doubt Frank would be keen to bring some of his Brentford squad along with him too, with Bryan Mbeumo the obvious star player who would make a significant impact at Spurs.

Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a blockbuster summer move for Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White, according to journalist Sebastien Vidal.

The Lilywhites have secured Champions League football for the 2025/26 season after winning the Europa League final against Manchester United, despite finishing the Premier League season in 17th place.

Their domestic form saw them take the decision to sack Ange Postecoglou as manager, with Brentford's Thomas Frank set to replace him, and the club are now eyeing a statement transfer for the new boss.

Tottenham Want to Sign Gibbs-White

£50m deal being pushed for

Gibbs-White was a regular for Nottingham Forest in the 2024/25 season as they pushed for Champions League football until the final day of the season, where defeat to Chelsea condemned them to the Europa Conference League instead.

The England international, who has been described as 'truly unplayable', had been linked with a move to Man City this summer to replace Kevin De Bruyne, but they have since cooled their interest after signing Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan and Rayan Cherki from Lyon.

Now Tottenham are entering the race for his signature instead, with Daniel Levy ready to test their resolve to keep the playmaker.

Spurs are reportedly ready to offer around £50m to seal his signing from Forest, with new manager Frank pushing for a statement signing during his first transfer window in charge.

Tottenham are also said to be interested in signing Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford as a new attacking signing, with question marks over the future of current captain Heung-Min Son and Richarlison too.

Forest are unlikely to be willing sellers of Gibbs-White, but a big offer could change their minds and with Spurs being able to offer Champions League football there is every chance he is interested in making the move.

Tottenham are among a host of Premier League clubs considering a summer move for Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga, journalist Graeme Bailey has claimed.

The Lilywhites have reportedly earmarked the Swedish international as a potential reinforcement on the wing and are among Elanga’s growing list of admirers.

The likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Newcastle have also been watching the ex-Manchester United forward closely amid his strong season at the City Ground.

Elanga was a key part of Nuno Espirito Santo’s side this term and helped Forest qualify for European football for the first time since the 1995/96 season.

Tottenham Keeping Tabs on Anthony Elanga

Forest unwilling to sell the Swedish forward

According to Bailey, Forest are determined to keep hold of Elanga ahead of their return to continental football next season and would only entertain offers in excess of £60m this summer.

Forest reportedly believe the 23-year-old is one of the top wingers in the Premier League and, should any club come knocking, they would demand a potential club-record fee.

Elanga, praised as ‘the fastest player in the Premier League’, joined Forest from Man United in 2023 and has been a revelation since, registering 33 goal contributions in 82 appearances.

The Sweden international enjoyed a career-best season in the English top-flight this term, scoring six goals and providing 11 assists in 38 appearances.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Elanga scored four goals in 55 games for Man United.

Tottenham are now close to appointing Brentford boss Thomas Frank as their new manager, having reached an agreement over personal terms with the Dane.

Frank is now set to become the fourth permanent Spurs boss in as many years and will succeed Ange Postecoglou, who was relieved of his duties last week.

Wrexham could still look to complete an audacious move for Tottenham Hotspur defender Ben Davies in the coming months, according to reports - despite the Welsh international having his contract extended by the north London club late last week.

Davies was out of contract at Tottenham at the end of the month, which would have brought an end to his 11-year stay in the capital - but the club triggered their option to extend his contract until June 2026, initially ruling Wrexham out of a fairytale move. However, a report has stated that it hasn't deterred Phil Parkinson's men and a deal could still be looked at later in the year for the Champions League star.

Sky Sports: Wrexham Still Keen on Ben Davies Deal

The Welsh outfit could look to bring one of the country's most capped players

The report by Sky Sports reporter Anthony Joseph states that Wrexham are still keen on signing Tottenham centre-back Davies as their rapid rise through the English Football League continues at a blistering pace.

Reports over the weekend from Sky Sports stated that the Championship outfit were in talks with Davies over a potential marquee signing, but Sunday evening saw Tottenham trigger the one-year extension on his estimated £80,000-a-week contract to keep him at the club for another season.

But the report has revealed that Davies' contract being extended until next summer hasn't put them off making him one of their major signings, with Hollywood owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds keen on securing a record-breaking four-consecutive promotions from the fifth-tier to the Premier League.

The sticking point is that any deal would now require a fee, and the north Welsh outfit may have to wait until Brentford boss Thomas Frank arrives and adds more players to his defensive ranks before Davies becomes an available option.

Davies came into Swansea City's squad in the 2012-13 campaign, spending two seasons at left-back for the Liberty Stadium outfit before making the move to Tottenham - and although he's largely been a squad option in north London, he's still managed to make 242 appearances in the top-flight for the Lilywhites, as well as an extra 116 in other competitions - including the Europa League, where Tottenham beat Manchester United in the final to end a 17-year wait for silverware.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Ben Davies has made 313 Premier League appearances - with only Robbie Savage, Gary Speed and Ryan Giggs ahead of him in terms of Welshmen.

A further 95 caps for Wales means that he's an extremely distinguished member of their squad and Wrexham fans would herald his signing as they aim to make the step-up to the top-flight for the first time in their history.
