Tottenham are in pole position to sign Liverpool defender Andy Robertson if they retain their Premier League status, according to David Ornstein.

Spurs were one of the sides showing an interest in signing Robertson during the previous January transfer window, before Liverpool opted against allowing him to depart.

With the Scottish international out of contract in the summer, Robertson will be able to sign for a new club for free, and Liverpool have now confirmed that he won't be extending his stay on Merseyside.

Robertson will now have his pick of a host of clubs later this year, as he searches for a new challenge at the age of 32.

It remains to be seen where Robertson will end up, but one of Liverpool's Premier League rivals are already leading the race to secure his signature.

Tottenham Plotting Robertson Move

According to The Athletic's Ornstein, Tottenham are in pole position to land Robertson from Liverpool in the summer transfer window, after it was confirmed that he would be leaving Anfield on a free.

Ornstein confirms that Tottenham held talks over signing Robertson during the winter window, but Liverpool were unwilling to allow him to depart in the middle of the season.

Instead, Robertson will leave for nothing later this year, and Spurs could secure themselves a bargain if they remain in the Premier League.

Robertson Could be Smart Addition for Tottenham

Tottenham have centered a lot of their recruitment on signing up-and-coming talent from around the world over the last few years, spending significantly on bringing in young players.

Adding some experience would be a smart move, and it makes perfect sense to bring Robertson in when he's available on a free transfer in the summer.

Robertson is still capable of playing at the highest level, while he could also be the perfect mentor for young left-back Souza, who was brought to the club in the January window.

It would be a positive addition for Spurs, but they need to retain their Premier League status first.

Tottenham are believed to be interested in signing Celtic star Benjamin Nygren ahead of the summer transfer window, and the Scottish club's stance has now emerged, according to Sports Boom.

Nygren has enjoyed a phenomenal season for the Glasgow giants, which is naturally leading to interest from around Europe.

The Swedish international has scored 19 goals and provided eight assists in all competitions, which is a very impressive return, considering Celtic haven't enjoyed their best season.

Tottenham are going to be in the market for a host of additions in the upcoming transfer window, after enduring a difficult season themselves. We could see Roberto De Zerbi's side strengthen in a number of positions, as they aim to become a side that competes for the European places once again.

Tottenham Eyeing Celtic Star

According to a report from Sports Boom, Tottenham are one of the sides who are showing an interest in signing Celtic star Nygren, but they face competition from a host of clubs, including those in the Premier League.

Spurs consider Nygren a cost-effective option for the summer window, with the Swedish star impressing during scouting missions.

Celtic won't stand in the way of Nygren if a big offer arrives in the window, with the Glasgow giants believed to value him in the region of £26m.

Spurs could quadruple his salary if they brought him to the Premier League, with the Celtic man earning in the region of £20,000-a-week.

Nygren Deal Makes Sense for Tottenham

It's going to be an incredibly busy summer transfer window for Spurs, with a host of players likely to head through the exit door with the club not competing in Europe next season.

As a result, the north London club will be forced to bring in a lot of new faces, so finding bargain deals like Nygren could be hugely beneficial.

If Tottenham can secure his signature for under £30m, it would strengthen their squad depth and allow them to add plenty of bodies elsewhere.

Not every addition in the window is going to be a £60m+ superstar signing, and they will have to be smart considering the amount of work they need to do.

Does Nygren Suit De Zerbi?

Tottenham Hotspur chiefs are reportedly eyeing a move to sign Sheffield Wednesday star Pierce Charles for Roberto De Zerbi this summer, according to TEAMtalk.

After a full week of training with his new players, De Zerbi is ready for his Tottenham bow when they travel to face Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Sunday.

Spurs currently find themselves one place and point above the Premier League relegation zone following a disastrous run of form that means they are still without a top-flight win in the whole of 2026.

The north Londoners could actually find themselves in the bottom three by the time they kick off on Wearside, with 18th-placed West Ham United hosting rock-bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers at the London Stadium on Friday night.

De Zerbi knows he and his squad need to hit the ground running with just seven matches of the season left, and three points against Regis Le Bris' men would be the ultimate boost for a low-on-confidence squad of players.

While full focus for the manager and his squad is on Sunday, Spurs chiefs are beginning to think about potential transfer targets for the summer, no matter which division they find themselves in next term.

Tottenham Monitoring Charles Closely With Star in Demand

According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham are one of a number of Premier League clubs monitoring the impressive young goalkeeper ahead of the summer transfer window.

Spurs are looking to strengthen their goalkeeping department this summer, with both Guglielmo Vicario and Antonin Kinsky flattering to deceive at certain points during their starts this season.

Charles has been outstanding for rock-bottom Championship club Sheffield Wednesday, who will be playing League One football next term following a disastrous year financially, with the club currently undertaking what will hopefully be a successful takeover bid from David Storch and his consortium.

The Northern Ireland international was labelled as 'unstoppable' following his outstanding display against Leicester City on Easter Monday, when he made a league-high 11 saves to help the Owls earn a 1-1 draw against the Championship strugglers.

Wednesday won't want to lose him as he is clearly their biggest footballing asset, with his price tag only going up.

Tottenham will face competition for Charles' signature, with Manchester City keen to re-sign him and with the stopper also garnering interest from Leeds United and Newcastle United too.

Vicario 'Agrees Terms' to Leave Tottenham

The appearance of Kinsky against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League suggested he isn't ready to be Spurs' regular number one yet, while Vicario looking more and more likely to leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at the end of the season.

Reports in Italy earlier this month suggested that the Italy international has already agreed terms with Inter Milan over a contract for next season, with it being said previously that he is 'determined' to leave and return to Serie A in the summer.

Vicario clearly didn't get on too well with Igor Tudor, so it will be interesting to see if his relationship improves with his compatriot De Zerbi in the next few weeks.

Tottenham will be hoping to have the 29-year-old back as soon as possible after he underwent hernia surgery prior to the international break, missing Italy's games as they failed to qualify for the World Cup again.

Tottenham Hotspur are desperate to avoid relegation from the Premier League this season, but their hopes have taken a huge hit after Mohammed Kudus suffered a setback on his return from injury.

The Ghana international hasn't featured for the club since January due to a quadriceps injury, but had recently returned to first-team training and was expected to make an imminent return, right in time for new manager Roberto De Zerbi to call upon him as a potential saviour.

However, the 25-year-old has now suffered a recurrence of the issue and may be required to undergo surgery, which could see him not only miss the rest of the season, but also this summer's World Cup.

De Zerbi Must Find Alternative Solution

Having arrived in north London on a five-year contract, De Zerbi has seven games to preserve Tottenham's Premier League status before he can begin a rebuild in the summer.

The former Brighton boss is known to be a huge fan of Kudus, having tried to sign him while he was in charge of the Seagulls, and he would have been relying on his return from injury to give the team a major boost in the final weeks of the season.

James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski have not been available all season after dealing with serious knee injuries, and neither are likely to make a return before the end of the season, while winger Wilson Odobert is also a long-term absentee after rupturing his ACL.

But with Kudus also now unavailable, De Zerbi must find an alternative solution, and when looking at the squad he has at his disposal, there is a very obvious choice when deciding who should become the creative fulcrum of the team for the rest of the season.

De Zerbi Must Unlock Xavi Simons to Avoid Relegation

During the summer window Xavi Simons was signed for big money and was expected to become the main man in the team, but he struggled to adapt to English football quickly.

The 22-year-old, described as a 'magician', has managed just four goals and five assists in all competitions this season. But he managed two of those goals in the recent Champions League win over Atletico Madrid, before being bafflingly dropped by Igor Tudor for the next Premier League game.

His talent is undeniable, and it's clear that he has the ability to be the main man. He has shown that for the Netherlands and for RB Leipzig already in his short career. Now it's time for De Zerbi to hand him the keys at Spurs, and unlock him to save the club from the drop.

Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has requested that ENIC make a move to sign one of his former players from Marseille during the summer transfer window, according to a report from Sports Boom.

Although Tottenham's primary focus over the coming weeks is to try to remain in the Premier League, ENIC, De Zerbi, and the recruitment team will be working on potential reinforcements for the summer window.

It's an incredibly important summer for Spurs, if they avoid relegation, as they need to head back in the right direction as soon as possible after a difficult few years.

Tottenham are going to be without European football for the 2026/2027 campaign, meaning they are likely to be shopping in a different market than they usually shop in.

Tottenham Eyeing Marseille Star

According to a report from Sports Boom, Tottenham are eyeing a move to sign Marseille midfielder Arthur Vermeeren, who is on loan from RB Leipzig, in the summer transfer window.

Vermeeren worked under De Zerbi during their time together at Marseille earlier in the season, and in a meeting with ENIC, the Tottenham manager has requested that they bring him to north London later this year.

De Zerbi and his team are planning a major rebuild after a disappointing season, and the 21-year-old is someone who features high on their shortlist for the summer market.

It's claimed RB Leipzig could demand in the region of just £25m to allow him to depart.

Vermeeren Fits Tottenham's Model

The signing of Vermeeren would fit Tottenham's recent recruitment model, which has been to sign young talent from around the world.

The likes of Luka Vuskovic, Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray, and Souza have all been signed in recent years, and Vermeeren fits that profile.

The advantage of bringing in a young player like Vermeeren, described as 'complete', is that he already has plenty of experience in senior football, and isn't a young talent straight from the academy.

De Zerbi knows the midfielder very well, so it could be an interesting addition for the north London club if they secure his signature in the summer transfer window.

Does Vermeeren Suit De Zerbi?

GIVEMESPORT asked ChatGPT whether Vermeeren suits De Zerbi's style of football.

Tottenham have suffered a major injury blow ahead of their crucial Premier League clash against Sunderland at the weekend, according to Alasdair Gold.

Spurs are preparing for the start of life under Roberto De Zerbi, with seven games remaining for them to avoid the drop.

Injuries have clouded Tottenham's season so far, and De Zerbi desperately needs all hands to the pump in order to steer the club away from the relegation zone.

The new Tottenham manager is already set to be without a host of stars heading into their game against Sunderland, including the likes of Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison.

Although it's not a fresh injury, Spurs have now suffered yet another blow to their season, and it's come at an important time with seven Premier League games remaining.

Tottenham Suffer Major Injury Blow

According to Football London reporter Gold, Mohammed Kudus could require surgery after suffering a setback ahead of his potential return.

Kudus, described as 'elite', looks set to be ruled out of their clash against Sunderland, and could even miss the remainder of the season.

Kudus hasn't been spotted in any of the training footage so far, and although he was edging closer to returning to action, he's now suffered a setback.

Gold confirms that it's unclear whether it's a fresh injury or a further problem with his quad, after he suffered a 'serious tendon' problem back in January.

It's a major blow for Spurs and De Zerbi, who will have been hoping to see Kudus fit enough to at least play some part between now and the end of the campaign.

Tottenham's Injury Situation

Kudus was already on the treatment table, so this isn't a fresh blow as such for Tottenham, but it's still hugely disappointing news.

Tottenham's injury situation did appear to be improving, but they are still without a host of players.

Kulusevski and James Maddison will be lucky to play this season, but it's unclear if they are completely ruled out. Guglielmo Vicario underwent surgery during the international break, so Spurs fans are waiting patiently to hear an update on him.

Wilson Odobert is also a long-term absentee, while Mathys Tel, Pape Matar Sarr, Rodrigo Bentancur and Ben Davies are also currently injured, but hopefully not for too long.

Some of Tottenham's squad will be hoping to impress new manager Roberto De Zerbi over the next few weeks, with the north London club battling to stay in the Premier League.

Tottenham are preparing to face Sunderland this weekend in a crucial clash as they attempt to steer themselves away from the bottom three.

Spurs currently sit just one point above the relegation zone with seven games remaining in the Premier League, but without a win in 2026, it's not looking good for the north London club.

The hierarchy will be hoping that the appointment of De Zerbi is what they need to secure survival, as it's incredibly important that they remain in the Premier League heading into the 2026/2027 season.

Simons Set for Big Role at Tottenham

According to Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge, one player who is set to make an impact under De Zerbi is Xavi Simons.

Bridge suggests that he is set to play a 'huge role' under the new manager, despite finding things difficult under Igor Tudor.

Bridge describes some of the treatment of Simons by Tudor as 'baffling', after he was dropped against Nottingham Forest despite scoring twice against Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League.

Tottenham are struggling when it comes to creativity, with Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison both out injured as it stands.

That's where Simons can flourish, despite not showing the levels at Tottenham that he produced during his time with RB Leipzig just yet.

De Zerbi Key to Simons Flourishing at Tottenham

De Zerbi is known for playing exciting, attacking football, which could help Simons flourish at Tottenham.

Simons has, so far, played under both Thomas Frank and Tudor, two managers who are a little more pragmatic, and they have been unable to get the best out of the Dutch attacking midfielder.

Getting the most from Simons could be crucial for De Zerbi in their battle to stay in the Premier League, as he's a player capable of being a goalscoring and creative threat.

Simons has shown glimpses of being a player capable of doing just that during his time at Spurs, but he's not been consistent enough so far this season.

Tottenham Hotspur are pushing to sign Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford this summer, according to reports.

The north London side have reportedly earmarked the 23-year-old as a key target ahead of the upcoming transfer window as they look to replace Guglielmo Vicario.

Spurs are expected to part ways with the Italian shot-stopper after the season amid interest from Serie A clubs, and they have placed the signing of a new No. 1 at the top of their agenda.

Trafford only joined Manchester City from Burnley on a five-year deal, but he has made just 14 appearances this season, including 10 in cup competitions.

Tottenham Keen on James Trafford

According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham view Trafford as an ‘ideal’ candidate to replace Vicario as the club’s number one goalkeeper and believe the 23-year-old is a feasible target.

With Trafford unhappy with his limited involvement under Pep Guardiola, Manchester City are believed to have opened the door for his sale, and the player is also keen to move in order to secure regular minutes.

There are even suggestions Trafford would be open to the move even if Tottenham were relegated to the Championship, where the 'incredible' 23-year-old impressed with Burnley last season.

Trafford conceded just 16 goals in 45 league appearances, kept 29 clean sheets, and was named in the PFA Team of the Year for a second time in his career.

Tottenham are hoping to back new manager Roberto De Zerbi with multiple key signings in the summer market, provided the Lilywhites manage to avoid relegation this season.

The north London side are sitting just one point above the drop zone with seven games remaining and take on Sunderland away in De Zerbi’s first game in charge on Sunday.

Bart Verbruggen Eyed as Trafford Alternative

With a new goalkeeper among their summer priorities, Tottenham are also paying close attention to Brighton shot-stopper Bart Verbruggen.

According to reports, the north London side have included the Dutch international on their shortlist and could look to reunite De Zerbi with the 23-year-old.

Verbruggen played under De Zerbi at Brighton for one season following his arrival from Anderlecht in the summer of 2023 and made 27 appearances across all competitions in his first year.

Following De Zerbi’s departure after the 2023-24 campaign, the Dutch international became Brighton’s primary shot-stopper ahead of Jason Steele and is now nearing his 100th appearance for the Seagulls.

Tottenham have decided to keep three of their coaches, Andreas Georgson, Cameron Campbell and Fabian Otte, at the club under Roberto De Zerbi, with Sky Sports journalist Lyall Thomas revealing why.

De Zerbi was appointed as Spurs' new manager at the end of March, and with the international break ongoing, fans have been patiently waiting to see who was going to join him as part of his coaching staff.

Although the buck stops with the manager, the coaching setup can be just as important, spending as much time as they do on the training ground, regularly running tactical sessions.

Tottenham have now confirmed who is going to be working with De Zerbi for the remainder of the season, and three of the coaching staff were involved with Igor Tudor too.

Tottenham Keep 3 Staff Members

According to a report from Sky Sports journalist Thomas, Tottenham have kept Georgson, Campbell, and Otte, despite them working under their third manager of the season.

It's claimed that the trio have maintained good relationships with the players throughout the campaign, with Georgson's set-piece work in particular being a key strength for Spurs.

Spurs are believed to want specialists at the club, hence why the aforementioned trio have remained under the new manager, De Zerbi.

De Zerbi's Coaching Staff at Tottenham

Tottenham confirmed the full structure of Tottenham's coaching staff for the remainder of the season under De Zerbi earlier this week.

Marcattilio Marcattilii and Marcello Quinto join as First Team Fitness Coach and Senior Professional Development Phase Coach, respectively.

Marcattilio has been a mainstay under De Zerbi for over 10 years now, starting with him during their time at Foggia in 2025.

Marcello has been more of a recent recruit for De Zerbi, joining him at Brighton and Marseille.

Bruno Saltor, Georgson, Campbell, and Otte remain on the coaching staff from the previous regimes, while Stuart Lewis and Dean Brill also remain.

Tottenham defender Luka Vuskovic is flourishing on loan at Hamburg this season, and Football London reporter Alasdair Gold has provided an update on his future ahead of next season.

Vuskovic has likely surprised many at Spurs this campaign, becoming one of the best defenders in the Bundesliga.

In hindsight, Tottenham might have wished they had kept him in north London, considering the season he's had, but at the age of 19, his development was best served playing regularly away from Spurs.

It's certainly been an effective loan for Vuskovic so far, playing 2460 minutes for Hamburg, making 27 appearances.

Tottenham will have a decision to make on the youngster in the summer, especially with him attracting interest from around Europe.

Tottenham Have Vuskovic Plan

Reporting for Football London, Gold has provided an update on the future of Vuskovic ahead of the summer, with the Tottenham defender attracting interest from Bayern Munich, among others.

Gold claims that with Vuskovic having a contract at Spurs until 2030, he's likely to remain at the club, while he's also set to become a 'regular starter' if they remain in the Premier League next season.

Interest from the likes of Bayern Munich might turn the head of Vuskovic, but he'll have to make his decision based on where it's going to be best for his development.

He might not become a guaranteed starter for Bayern straight away, which could influence his decision as to whether to join the Bundesliga giants.

Van de Ven and Romero Could Decide Vuskovic Future

Even if Tottenham remain in the Premier League, it wouldn't be a surprise to see both Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero head through the exit door during the summer transfer window.

The defensive duo will want to be playing at the highest level, and Spurs won't be competing in Europe next season.

As a result, Tottenham will need reinforcements at the back, but they could already have a replacement in Vuskovic.

The young defender will want to be playing regular football at a strong level, and potential departures for van de Ven and Romero could give him the ideal chance to become a guaranteed starter in north London.
