Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou's wild reign in north London is reportedly set to come to an end - with reports suggesting that the former Celtic boss has been given the boot despite recent European success.

A fifth-placed Premier League finish last season, sitting just two points outside the Champions League spots, saw Postecoglou take mass plaudits for his work with Tottenham, despite having the added bonus of no European football to contend with, eventually qualifying for the Europa League as a result of their league finish.

However, this season has been a real 'Jekyll and Hyde' campaign. Postecoglou had to contend with injuries throughout the campaign, but Spurs finished in a lowly 17th place - their worst finish on record in the Premier League - alongside crashing out of the FA Cup early, and blowing an aggregate lead in the League Cup semi-final against Liverpool to lose 4-1 overall. A win over Manchester United in the Europa League final in mid-May looked to have potentially saved his job, but that is no more, with suggestions that the boss will be relieved of his duties.

The report by Sky Sports journalist Sacha Tavolieri states that Tottenham have decided to sack Postecoglou - despite winning the Europa League almost two weeks ago.

Moreover, Brentford boss Thomas Frank is supposedly top of the shortlist to replace the Greek-Australian boss, with the 'exceptional' Dane dragging the Bees to a top-half finish in the Premier League with a differing style of pragmatic yet successful football at a club who are punching above their own weight in the top-flight.

Postecoglou famously stated earlier in the campaign that he 'always wins trophies' in his second season, and he stuck to his promise - though a dismal domestic campaign has now seemingly seen Daniel Levy venture in another direction with Frank in his sights.

Tottenham's continental success means they'll play in the Champions League next season, but a strong domestic campaign will be equally important to them, and Postecoglou's inexcusable results this season means that whoever their new boss is will know the expectations of the board going into the new season.

Bayern Munich are set to hold talks with Leroy Sane this week, with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur both interested in the winger, according to GIVEMESPORT sources.

Sane, who reportedly earns around £325,000-a-week at the Allianz Arena, is out of contract this summer, meaning he could leave Bayern Munich for nothing. The former Manchester City winger has played a key role for Bayern over the years, but at the age of 29 with his deal expiring, the German club have a big decision to make on his future.

Clubs in the Premier League are now showing an interest in securing the signature of Sane, and they could land themselves a bargain if he is unable to agree a new contract with Bayern.

Bayern Set to Hold Talks With Sane This Week

Levy has excellent relationship with his agent

According to GIVEMESPORT sources, Sane is set to hold talks with Bayern this week over his future, with his deal expiring in the coming weeks. All parties want clarity over where his future lies, while there is still a chance that he extends his stay at the Allianz Arena.

Suitors understand that there is a chance he remains with the Bundesliga outfit, but there has been no breakthrough in talks over a new deal yet. Tottenham's interest in Sane is genuine, but the managerial uncertainty isn't ideal. Spurs hope to resolve Ange Postecoglou's future this week, and there is still a chance he heads through the exit door.

Daniel Levy has an excellent relationship with Sane's agent, Pini Zahavi, and the pair have held talks over a potential deal for Sane, GIVEMESPORT sources have confirmed.

Arsenal Have Expressed Interest in Leroy Sane

Nothing is advanced yet

According to GIVEMESPORT sources, Arsenal are another club to have expressed an interest in signing Sane, described as 'world-class', ahead of the summer transfer window, but nothing is advanced yet. The feeling is that the Gunners could opt to bring in a younger winger, even though Sane is seen as a market opportunity.

Arsenal's priority is to bring in a left-sided attacker, but Sane prefers and predominantly plays on the right-hand side. It's understood that any signing to come in on the right-hand side would have to be deputy to Bukayo Saka, who is expected to sign a new deal at the Emirates Stadium.

Sane suitors, such as Tottenham and Arsenal, remain unsure whether he is going to leave Bayern in the summer transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur could look to steal a march in the race to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace in the coming weeks, according to reports - with the north London club thought to be 'readying' a player-plus-cash deal to land the England star during the summer transfer window.

Ange Postecoglou's side know they are in need of new recruits after a dismal Premier League campaign saw them finish 17th in the table, their worst-ever placement in the competition's 32-year-history - but with European football also being secured, that could see them make moves for the Premier League's best players, with Eze being on their shortlist ahead of a permanent move.

Report: Tottenham 'Readying' Player-Plus-Cash Deal for Eze

Tottenham have a lot of deadwood and could use that to their advantage in talks

The report by TEAMtalk states that although the Eagles have been in talks with Eze over a new contract, their reason for doing so is a concerted effort to stave off interest from Tottenham - who are keen to add real quality to their squad after qualifying for the Champions League via winning the Europa League.

Tottenham haven't given up on their long-term target yet, and as a result, they are prepared to either trigger his £68million release clause or propose a player-plus-cash deal.

Sources close to Eze believe that he is content at Palace, and knows that he owes his gratitude to them after taking him from Championship side Queens Park Rangers and making him into a Europa League player and an FA Cup winner - where he scored the only goal at Wembley vs Manchester City to record Palace's first-ever major trophy.

However, it's also thought that he is open to competing at the highest level, being driven by his ambition of more success and to feature in a prominent role for England at the World Cup next summer, having already been labelled as one of the 'best midfielders in the country'.

With a versatility that sees him play behind the striker or on the left-wing, Spurs could utilise Eze in various positions when competing on four competitive fronts next season, and he'd be a major coup in terms of ENIC's ambitions to remain a top-five side.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Eberechi Eze has 10 caps for England, scoring once in the previous international break.

Eze has a respectable 34 goals and 23 assists in just 146 games for Palace in the Premier League, and with an England goal to his name, now could be the time to try his hand on the biggest European stage.

Ange Postecoglou's immediate future at the club is set to be confirmed next week, with the Tottenham boss still considered at risk of losing his job, according to Mike McGrath of The Telegraph.

Spurs beat Manchester United to the 2024/25 Europa League title in emphatic fashion, with Brennan Johnson's goal the difference between the two sides. Postecoglou's men defended well to see out the first piece of silverware in 17 years.

But Tottenham ended the Premier League season with a 4-1 loss to Brighton at home, confirming a dismal 17th-placed finish - their worst ever in the competition's history. As such, there are questions over whether Postecoglou is the right manager to lead chairman Daniel Levy's project in North London.

Postecoglou at 'Extreme Risk' of Losing Job

Levy has explored his options

As per McGrath, Postecoglou's future will reportedly be decided next week, and the 59-year-old is still at risk of losing his position, despite breaking the Lilywhites' long-running silverware drought.

A devastating Premier League campaign consisting of 22 defeats is difficult to overlook in its entirety, and Levy has considered options to takeover from the Greek-Australian custodian, should he decide to part ways.

The list of candidates includes Brentford tactician Thomas Frank, while Fulham's Marco Silva has also been considered, though the Portuguese has indicated that he will stay at Craven Cottage for next season.

Bournemouth manager Andonia Iraola and Oliver Glasner of Crystal Palace have also been linked with a move to Tottenham, but it is unlikely either will depart from their respective clubs.

Postecoglou has successfully returned Spurs to the Champions League, and he insisted during the club's open-top bus parade that "In all the best TV series, season three is better than season two". It remains to be seen whether he will still be in charge for the 2025/26 term.

People should “keep an eye on Thomas Frank” if Tottenham Hotspur decide to make a managerial change this summer according to Ben Jacobs, speaking exclusively to GIVEMESPORT.

Ange Postecoglou achieved what he was drafted in to do when appointed two years ago by winning Tottenham a trophy. Beating Manchester United 1-0 in the final, Spurs won the Europa League to finally end their 17-year trophy drought, while also ensuring they would play Champions League football next season.

Qualifying for Europe’s most prestigious competition through the Europa League was crucial, given that Spurs endured such a poor Premier League campaign. The Lilywhites lost 22 of their 38 games, finishing 17th and avoiding a genuine relegation battle solely through the form of the three teams that finished below them.

Pressure has risen on Spurs’ manager across the season and it is still unclear as to what Postecoglou’s future has in store. According to Jacobs, there is one particular name on the North London side’s shortlist to keep an eye on, should Postecoglou depart.

Frank to Spurs?

Dane has been brilliant with Brentford

Speaking exclusively to GIVEMESPORT, journalist Ben Jacobs revealed that Spurs appreciate a number of managers, with one Premier League candidate standing out from the rest. He said:

“Levy will also know having Champions League football next season makes Spurs an attractive prospect to managerial candidates. Andoni Iraola and Marco Silva have definitely come under consideration, but Bournemouth expect the former to stay. And Silva has said publicly he plans to remain at Fulham.

“I would keep an eye on Thomas Frank if a change is made. Roberto De Zerbi has also been discussed, but Marseille also got Champions League under him this season.”

Frank has been Brentford manager since 2018 and under his guidance, the Bees have risen from the Championship into an established Premier League side, through a combination of brilliant coaching and smart signings. The Dane has been on Spurs’ radar for some time, having caught the attention of many teams.

Frank has shown immense loyalty to Brentford in his seven years at the club so far, but as Jacobs noted, Champions League football could prove too tempting to ignore for Frank, who has been called “exceptional” for his accomplishments with Brentford.

Tottenham Hotspur have “taken note” of Brighton and Hove Albion winger Yankuba Minteh, according to Stretty News.

In the Premier League, Spurs endured a torrid season. The North London side lost 22 of their 38 matches, finishing 17th in the table. In truth, Tottenham only avoided a relegation battle due to the poor form of the three promoted sides, who finished directly beneath Spurs.

Pressure on Ange Postecoglou has risen throughout the campaign as a result of his side’s poor performances in the league and exits from the domestic cups. Postecoglou’s tenure relied solely on the Europa League for some time, in which the Australian guided Spurs to the final.

Spurs Like Minteh

Winger has impressed with Brighton

Stretty News have reported that Spurs are one of a number of clubs that have an interest in signing Yankuba Minteh. The Gambian international moved to Brighton in 2024, having spent the season prior on loan from Newcastle United to Feyenoord. With the Seagulls, Minteh has enjoyed a brilliant debut season in the Premier League.

At just 20 years old, Minteh has an immense amount of potential and it is no surprise that he has caught Spurs’ interest. By winning the Europa League, the Lilywhites have ensured that they will be playing Champions League football next season, which could be enough to incentivise Minteh, who has been dubbed "electric," into a move.

Should Spurs manage to sign Minteh, regardless of who is in charge of them next season, he would be a brilliant addition for the club.

Tottenham Hotspur could trump other Premier League sides in the race to sign Valencia youngster Cristhian Mosquera in the coming months, according to reports - with the Spain-born centre-back being on their radar ahead of a potential move to the English top-flight.

Spurs recorded their worst-ever finish in the competition, losing 22 of their 38 games to go 17th in the table in the final standings - but a Europa League win means that they will be playing Champions League football next season against the odds. And that could see them progress in the race for Mosquera, who has suitors across the continent.

Report: Tottenham Want to Sign Cristhian Mosquera

The Lilywhites are in need of recruits this summer to help their European push

The report by CaughtOffside states that Mosquera has shone in La Liga, and that has seen him attract interest from the Premier League. Tottenham are one of the sides interested, with the north London outfit having 'monitored' the Spanish youth international ahead of a potential move.

It's thought that his asking price is around €30million (£25million), which is largely affordable for Premier League clubs. Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig are thought to be the club that Mosquera is 'leaning towards', due to his representatives believing that honing his craft in the Bundesliga would suit him more than being thrust into the Premier League, where he can become 'one of the Europe's best'.

But Tottenham can offer Mosquera the prestige of playing Champions League football and that could swing a decision in his favour.

Mosquera, born in Alicante, joined Valencia's youth setup as a 12-year-old and worked his way through the youth ranks before making his debut in January 2022 as a 17-year-old in the Copa del Rey - and that was followed up by a La Liga debut just three days later against Sevilla. Although he's just 20 years of age, he's already made 82 top-flight appearances for the Mestalla outfit to mark himself as one of the league's best young prospects.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Cristhian Mosquera has 29 youth caps for Spain.

Ange Postecoglou already has a young back line, with Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie, Archie Gray, Radu Dragusin and Pedro Porro all being 25 or younger - and Mosquera would challenge Van de Ven for minutes, potentially even coming straight into the starting lineup for Cristian Romero should he move on this summer, with Atletico Madrid being touted for a move.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly looking to fund a deal for English wonderkid Tyler Dibling by selling Richarlison.

Dibling has been on Spurs' radar amid a breakout season at Southampton where he shined despite the South Coast outfit's relegation. His impressive form caught the eye of not only the Lilywhites but also Manchester United, Chelsea and German giants RB Leipzig.

The 19-year-old won't come cheaply though and St Mary's are holding out for £55m, a fee that is putting Daniel Levy off. The North Londoners remain keen after failing with a £35m bid in January, but not at the current price-tag unless they can make a significant sale.

Spurs To Offload Richarlison For Dibling

The Brazilian faces an uncertain future

Football Insider reports that Tottenham are hoping to negotiate a deal with Southampton for Dibling at £40-45m. He has two years left on his contract but remaining in the Premier League feels like a necessary step in his progression.

Richarlison's potential departure could help facilitate a deal for Dibling at the Saints' value and it would bring an end to a difficult spell in North London for the Brazilian. He arrived from Everton in the summer of 2022 for £60m but has failed to reach expectations.

David Moyes recently downplayed links to the 28-year-old, who purportedly earns £130,000 per week, suggesting a reunion with the Toffees may not be on the cards. He could instead head to the Saudi Pro League, and he's reportedly keen, although a return to Brazil isn't likely.

Spurs would be expected to replace Richarlison despite his inconsistent spells in Ange Postecoglou's first team. Dibling, dubbed "special", fits the club's transfer strategy "perfectly" and there is the chance for him to learn from experienced forwards such as Son Heung-min, who is staying with the club.

The six-cap England U19 international is familiar with London from his early youth career, having spent time in Chelsea's academy based in Cobham. Levy is personally pushing for the English starlet, and he'd be a similar acquisition to that of Archie Grey, 19, and Lucas Bergvall, 19, who arrived last year.

Super agent Pini Zahavi is 'pulling strings' to bring Bayern Munich star Leroy Sane to Tottenham for his good friend Daniel Levy, according to Christian Falk.

The Lilywhites were able to secure Champions League football for the 2025/26 campaign after winning the Europa League final against Manchester United, despite finishing 17th in the Premier League after a horrific domestic campaign.

Now the north London outfit are looking to bolster their squad ahead of the new season, with attacking reinforcements eyed, and Sane has emerged as a realistic option.

Tottenham Want to Sign Sane

Agent Zahavi wants him to sign for Spurs

Germany international Sane is set to be out of contract at the end of the season, despite previously having an agreement with Bayern Munich over a new deal.

However, he renegged on that deal after appointing Pini Zahavi as his new agent, and while discussions are ongoing about him staying with the Bundesliga champions it's now being said that he is trying to take him to Tottenham instead.

That's because Sane is keen on a move to London to be closer to his family, while Zahavi is also a 'good friend' of Spurs chairman Daniel Levy - and he is now 'pulling strings' to try and get a deal over the line.

Tottenham and Levy are now said to be in a strong position to seal a deal for the former Man City star, who currently earns £325,000-a-week in Bavaria, and it's seen as bad news for Bayern Munich.

Timo Werner has already been sent back to RB Leipzig following his disastrous loan spell, while there are also question marks over the futures of Mathys Tel and captain Heung-Min Son, who has emerged as a target for clubs in Saudi Arabia.

There are also still some doubts about who the manager will be at Spurs next season with the expectation being that Ange Postecoglou will still be sacked, despite ending the club's 17-year trophy drought and delivering Champions League football.

But regardless of that, Spurs are looking to get active in the transfer market and are now in a strong position to seal a deal for Sane.

Tottenham Hotspur could look to complete a deal to sign Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze in the coming weeks, according to reports - with the north London outfit keen on activating his release clause to add him to their squad ahead of next season's Champions League campaign.

Eze has enjoyed his finest individual campaign of his career to date, scoring in both the FA Cup semi-final and final to land the Eagles their first-ever major honour, qualifying for European football in the process - and with a further 23 goal contributions throughout the season, the London-born star has found his way onto the shortlist of some of the country's biggest sides. That includes Spurs, who are aiming to complete a deal for his services.

Report: Tottenham Willing to Meet Eze Release Clause

However, Palace are aiming to secure a new deal to keep him at Selhurst Park

The report by TEAMtalk states that Palace are in talks with Eze over a new contract - though they'll look to fend off interest from Tottenham in the process after they made the England star a target for the summer.

Palace will fight to keep their 'superstar', and they are reportedly in talks to secure a new contract for their star man after his rise in form. But Tottenham haven't given up on Eze just yet, and the report states that Spurs are prepared to trigger his £68million release clause before it runs out in mid-August in a bid to land the England international before it is too late.

Daniel Levy hasn't ruled out the possibility of a player-plus-cash deal, though Eze 'remains content' in south London and whether he opts for a move to north London remains to be seen.

TEAMtalk sources close to the QPR academy graduate state that he has 'gratitude' towards Palace, hence his reluctance to force a move - though with Tottenham having qualified for the Champions League, Eze is open to competing at the highest level and harbours hopes of being a real star for England at the 2026 World Cup.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Eberechi Eze has 10 caps for England, scoring one goal.

Spurs lost 22 of their 38 Premier League games this season under Ange Postecoglou, and won just six games from 19 on home turf - which they'll look to change with the signing of Eze and more, to amend their domestic form.
