Tottenham are showing an interest in signing a Chelsea star in the summer transfer window, as the Blues slap a £65 million asking price on his head.

Spurs look set to turn their attention to strengthening in the final third after bringing in reinforcements in other areas of the pitch.

Tottenham have already strengthened significantly in defence and in midfield, but they are yet to add bodies in attack.

Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Jan Paul van Hecke, Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi have all arrived through the door in the summer transfer window so far to strengthen their midfield and defence.

As we enter the final month of the window, we could see Tottenham heavily focused on signing a new forward.

Tottenham eyeing Chelsea transfer

According to a report from the Daily Mail, Tottenham are one of the sides showing an interest in signing Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson in the summer transfer window.

The report claims that Chelsea are demanding in the region of £65 million for Jackson to depart, with Aston Villa also one of the sides keen.

There has been no formal approach and club-to-club talks yet, but Spurs are currently considering the Senegalese international.

Roberto De Zerbi recently told reporters that their window was only 60% complete, so we could see some big signings through the door in the near future.

Chelsea might not sell to Tottenham

It certainly wouldn't be a surprise if Chelsea were willing to offload Jackson in the summer transfer window.

Jackson spent last season on loan at Bayern Munich, showing that he's clearly surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge.

Whether they would sell to a rival like Tottenham remains to be seen, especially given that they'll both likely be competing for European places next season.

The two clubs also have a location-based rivalry too, and it's not so often that you see players move between the two clubs.

Tottenham do need a striker, however, and Chelsea are hoping to get rid of Jackson, so it could be an interesting move.

A reported Tottenham target has been speaking about his future, potentially opening the door to a move this summer. Spurs have been on a spending rampage this summer, racking up a club-record spending bill of more than £235million, and they will continue to spend over the coming weeks.

Roberto De Zerbi has spent huge money to improve his defence and midfield, but he also wants an attacker or two to shore up the front line. Attacking signings are now the priority, and it's like a winger will be the main priority, although a winger who can also play as a striker would be a welcome addition.

One of the recent links involved Barcelona forward and the scorer of the World Cup final winner, Ferran Torres, who has been busy addressing his future.

Torres speaks about Barcelona situation

Torres has seen his fame multiplied after his World Cup-winning goal for Spain, and he spoke to NBC Sports in the US this week, addressing his Barcelona future among other topics.

“I have a contract at Barcelona but in football you never know. ’m just waiting to make the right decision, but I don’t know yet," he admitted.

“Well, it’s always nice good that these type of teams want you. But in the end I have a contract with Barcelona. It's true that in soccer you never know what might happen, but the good part is that since I have a contract, I can wait and decide for myself.

He added: "They must show that they want me. That they come to negotiate and for all of us to talk in the end.”

The speculation is because Torres, who is still only 26 years of age, is in the final year of his contract at Barca, so unless he signs a new deal, an exit this summer is likely, with the Blaugrana unlikely to want to risk losing him for free next summer.

PSG lead the race for Torres

Spurs have been linked with a move for Torres in recent days, and the Spaniard would be a good fit based on what De Zerbi is looking for in that he is a hard-working forward who can play as a centre-forward and out wide, while he also has Premier League experience.

But according to Fabrizio Romano, it is PSG who are pushing the hardest for a deal as things stand. He said on his YouTube channel. "Ferran was keeping his doors open. Why? Because his agents keep talking with Paris Saint-Germain, and they are pushing on the player side. Paris Saint-Germain feel that Ferran Torres is a realistic and concrete possibility. Barcelona will only let Ferran Torres go if Ferran goes public and says 'I want to leave Barcelona'.

"If Ferran goes to Barca and says 'I want anew chapter', in that case, Barcelona will not force the player to stay, otherwise Ferran Torres, for Barca, is not for sale. So this depends on the player."

Tottenham have submitted an offer to sign a new winger in the summer transfer window.

Spurs have been heavily focusing on strengthening in other areas of the pitch during the summer market, but attention is now turning to the forward line.

Tottenham have already brought in two midfielder options and three defenders, but they are yet to strengthen in the final third.

Roberto De Zerbi's side are clearly investing heavily in the squad as they look to turn things around after a disappointing few years.

The North London club have finished 17th in the Premier League for two years on the bounce, but they did show signs of heading in the right direction under De Zerbi last campaign.

Tottenham submit new winger offer

According to reports, Tottenham have submitted an offer in the region of £47 million to sign Benfica winger Andreas Schjelderup in the summer transfer window.

Spurs are offering around £39 million up front, but Benfica are hoping for around £43 million as the guaranteed fee.

Effectively, Tottenham have met the asking price of Schjelderup, but they just need to alter the payment terms in order to agree a deal with Benfica.

It remains to be seen whether Schjelderup, described as a 'diamond', is keen on a move to Spurs in the summer transfer window, but Tottenham do appear to be close to agreeing a fee.

Tottenham prioritising forward move

Tottenham are clearly pushing to bring in a new forward before the end of the summer transfer window.

Reports have claimed that they have opened talks with Liverpool over a potential move to sign Dutch forward Cody Gakpo. The former PSV man can play in multiple positions in attack, and it makes sense that De Zerbe is trying to poach him this summer.

It's unclear where De Zerbi would plan on playing Gakpo. The Dutchman is capable of playing on the left side or through the middle of the attack as a striker or number 10.

Juventus have made Tottenham Hotspur star Guglielmo Vicario a concrete target for the summer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Italian star has lost his place as the number one goalkeeper at the club, with Antonin Kinsky deemed a better fit for Roberto De Zerbi's squad after his excellent performances during the run-in last season, when Vicario was dealing with a hernia problem.

Kinsky has since signed a new contract and will be the starter, and Vicario is expected to leave after being left out of the club's pre-season squad for their tour of New Zealand. Now a potential destination has emerged.

Juventus Make Vicario 'Concrete' Target

Vicario, who has been described as 'unbelievable', made the move to north London in 2023 and has made 117 appearances for the club in that time, including starting the Europa League final win over Manchester United.

But the Italy international has never quite convinced as a top-level goalkeeper in the Premier League, and he is now ready to make his move away from England by returning to his homeland.

A number of clubs, including Inter Milan have previously shown an interest, but speaking in his latest YouTube video, Romano has revealed that it's Juventus who are now the club at the front of the queue for his signature.

"Now Vicario is a concrete option for Juventus from Tottenham, where he is not going to stay at the club," he said.

Juventus had previously been showing a strong interest in Argentina and Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez, but a deal has proven to be too expensive for them to complete, and that move has now collapsed.

Vicario has now emerged as a prime alternative, and all parties are working towards finding an agreement to get a deal over the line.

Vicario Has No Spurs Future

Tottenham have done really well in the transfer market so far with their arrivals, but they've also been smart by replacing their deadwood before they've let them go.

Cristian Romero is expected to be on the move, but the club have already brought in Marcos Senesi and Jan Paul van Hecke to replace him, while questions over the future of Djed Spence are offset by the arrival of Andy Robertson.

With Kinsky promoted to number one, and Martin Dubravka brought in to compete with him, Spurs have already confirmed that Vicario has no future in north London, and this should be a deal that gets completed relatively simply once a fee is agreed.

Tottenham have opened talks to sign another new defender in the summer transfer window.

Strengthening Roberto De Zerbi's defence has already been a major priority for Spurs in the summer market.

Jan-Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson have all arrived through the door to strengthen Tottenham's defensive options.

Spurs have also strengthened in midfield, but it appears they are not done when it comes to defensive reinforcements.

We're likely to see the North London club bring in new attacking options over the coming weeks, but they appear to be keen to sign reinforcements all over the pitch.

It's already been an incredibly busy summer transfer window for Tottenham, and they don't appear to be slowing down.

Tottenham open defender talks

According to reports, Tottenham have opened talks with the representatives of Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini in the summer transfer window.

Spurs face competition from a number of clubs, including Chelsea and Newcastle, while Atalanta have slapped a £42 million price tag on his head.

Scalvini, described as 'elite' by scout Jacek Kulig, is keen on a move to the Premier League this summer, so personal terms are not expected to be an issue.

Although it may seem a little overkill for Tottenham to bring in another defender, they could lose Cristian Romero later in the window.

Zerbi clearly wants to bring in top-level players all over the pitch, so it could be a busy end. It can be a busy few weeks for Spurs.

Romero set to leave Tottenham

The reason for Tottenham's pursuit of Scalvini could be the fact that defender Romero could be leaving the club in the coming weeks.

Inter Milan have reportedly agreed a deal to sign the Argentinian defender this summer as he edges closer to heading through the exit door.

Spurs have already brought in two centre-backs in the summer transfer window, but as mentioned, De Zerbi will want plenty of depth throughout his squad.

Tottenham do face competition when it comes to trying to secure the signature of Scalvini, who stands at around six feet and four inches. It will be interesting to see whether they firm up their interest in the coming weeks.

Tottenham Hotspur have made fresh contact over a move to sign Barcelona star Ferran Torres this summer, despite PSG making a push, according to TEAMtalk.

Spurs have already brought in Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes, and Sandro Tonali during this transfer window, and Roberto De Zerbi has admitted that he is now pushing for attacking reinforcements to join them in his squad.

A number of targets have been named, with Man City star Savinho a top target and contact made for Liverpool star Cody Gakpo, but it has now emerged that the club are eyeing a move for another star attacker.

Torres, who has been described as 'unbelievable', has enjoyed a sensational summer after scoring the winning goal in the World Cup final for Spain, and has been heavily linked with a move away from Barcelona as he entered the final year of his contract.

The La Liga champions were expected to sit down with the player's reps to discuss a new contract, but those talks have not happened, and Paris Saint-Germain have now stepped up their interest in the ex-Man City star.

Luis Enrique has held private talks with the forward and outlined his plans for how he fits into his plans in France, and Torres is understood to be excited about a move. But as it stands, there is no club-to-club agreement, and Spurs have now made contact to state their interest in doing a deal too.

Tottenham have maintained contact with the player's agents throughout the summer, and it's understood that Torres would be very open to a move to return to the Premier League - with London a preferred destination.

The 26-year-old is currently prioritising a move to Paris, but he is very open to a return to England should circumstances change. Tottenham want someone who can play across the forward line, and Torres fits the bill.

Torres Could Be Ideal Spurs Signing

Torres has never really been able to establish himself as a regular starter at the Camp Nou, but his goal record remains impressive nonetheless, with 65 goals and 23 assists in 207 appearances.

His ability to play on the wing, as a number nine or even just behind a striker would make him a perfect fit to De Zerbi's squad, and the fact he has Premier League experience would also mean there is less need for him to adapt and learn about the way the league works.

Any fee is unlikely to be too high considering his contract situation, and if Spurs can move quickly to get ahead of PSG in the race for his signature, then this could be a real coup.

Tottenham Hotspur have made contact over a deal to sign Liverpool star Cody Gakpo this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Spurs have been very busy in the market with six signings so far, and the club are now working hard to make further additions, with manager Roberto De Zerbi prioritising new forward options for his squad ahead of the new campaign.

Man City star Savinho is understood to be the leading target for the wing, but the north London club are also keen to bring in someone alongside him who can play across the front line, and the Netherlands star has emerged as the main priority.

Gakpo is understood to have emerged as a target for Spurs this summer, with Roberto De Zerbi believed to be a major fan of the fact he can play across the forward line, including as a number nine.

Liverpool are not pushing a sale of the Dutchman, and reports suggest they would demand at least £70m to let him leave, having used Anthony Gordon's move to Barcelona earlier in the window as a measuring stick for their valuation.

Now Romano, speaking on his latest YouTube video, has revealed that Spurs have spoken to the player's representatives to make initial contact over a move, but explained that any deal won't be easy to do.

"I told you to keep an eye on Cody Gakpo because Gakpo is a target for Tottenham," he said.

"Tottenham had contact with the agency representing Gakpo. Tottenham liked the player and believed he could be the right addition for Roberto De Zerbi. Now [it] depends on the price.

"Liverpool are not pushing Gakpo out, Liverpool are very happy with Cody Gakpo. So the only way to change the story, and to let Gakpo go to Tottenham, and to open doors, because so far Liverpool never wanted to open doors, even during the World Cup and the whole month of July, Liverpool were insisting on keeping Cody Gakpo.

"The only way to open doors is if Tottenham present a really good financial proposal. In that case, if the player wants to go, it could change the stance.

"So let's follow the Gakpo story. But Liverpool are not pushing the player out. So let me say this is not a guaranteed deal.This is something that is being discussed, but is not guaranteed, because for Liverpool, Gakpo is still an important player. This would be in addition to Savinho."

Spurs Must Pay Up or Move On

Gakpo has been a regular player for Liverpool since joining from PSV Eindhoven, and the left wing has become his position. But his performances last season weren't the most impressive, and that has led to speculation he could be on the move.

However, Liverpool's squad is razor thin currently, especially in attack, and while they pursue a deal for Bradley Barcola, they won't be willing to sell anyone easily.

If Tottenham are serious about their pursuit of Gakpo, and it seems they are, then they must make a decision on how high they are willing to pay and make that offer. If a deal can't be done, they don't have the time to keep waiting and they will be able to move on to alternative options.

During Sir Alex Ferguson's 27-year reign at Manchester United, the club rarely ever missed out on their top transfer targets, but times have changed as Tottenham stole a march on the Red Devils this summer.

Following West Ham United's relegation from the Premier League, Portuguese midfielder Mateus Fernandes became one of the hottest properties in the transfer market. Just 22 years old, Fernandes was one of the only bright sparks at the London Stadium in the 2025-26 season.

But where would he end up? Would the midfielder join last season's 17th-place side or the 20-time champions of England? Well, to many people's surprise, Fernandes opted for the former.

Why Mateus Fernandes Snubbed Man Utd For Spurs

After missing out on a place in Roberto Martinez's Portugal squad for the 2026 World Cup, the 22-year-old had time to pick his next destination. He decided to stay in the capital, moving to north London.

Now, Fernandes has told The Athletic why he chose to join Tottenham, despite Man Utd's interest. One of the key factors came in the shape of a phone call from a World Cup winner.

Pedro Porro played a key role in Spain's triumph over the summer, and also helped out his club in the process. The full-back was at Sporting CP with Fernandes, and got in touch to convince him to become his teammate again.

Fernandes actually missed the call but was left a message by Porro, who claimed to have been the one pushing his signing. The midfielder explained:

"He called me one day — I didn’t answer because I was sleeping — he said, in Portuguese, 'Come on Mateus, you need to play with us, we want you. It was me that told the manager to bring you.'"

He added that they did eventually have a conversation: "Then when everything was done, I spoke with him a bit about the club, the mentality in the team, the teammates as well. He’s an important player. He’s one of the best right-backs in the world. He’s a top guy."

Roberto De Zerbi Also Played Key Role

Roberto De Zerbi has been trusted with a lot of money to spend after steering the club to safety in the final weeks of last season. The Italian has snapped up Sandro Tonali, Jan Paul van Hecke, Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi alongside Fernandes.

The Portugal international explained the lengths De Zerbi went to when discussing a summer transfer with him "The desire of playing for a big club, winning games, to fight for the Premier League, for the title," he said when asked why he chose Spurs.

Tottenham are plotting a move to sign a new striker in the summer transfer window as they continue to look to improve Roberto De Zerbi's squad.

Plenty of Tottenham's focus over the last few months in terms of recruitment has been to bring in reinforcements in midfield and defence.

Spurs spent significantly to bring both Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali to the club to strengthen their midfield options, and attention could soon turn to their attacking line.

The North London club are yet to make a new addition in attack, but they are being linked with a number of players.

Signing a striker could be one of their priorities, with Richarlison linked with a departure and Dominic Solanke yet to replicate the form he produced while at Bournemouth.

Tottenham make £50m+ approach

According to a report from Caught Offside, Tottenham have made a £50 million-plus approach to sign Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen in the summer transfer window.

It's claimed that personal terms aren't expected to be an issue for Spurs, and they have received approval to begin formal negotiations for the centre-forward.

There's been no official approach between Tottenham and Galatasaray, with Spurs clearly just expressing their interest in making an offer in the region of £50 million.

Tottenham are in the market for a dependable goal scorer, with Richarlison's future uncertain, and De Zerbi looking to bring in a number 9 before the end of the window.

Osimhen one of the best in the world

Despite making the move to Turkey, Osimhen is still regarded as one of the best strikers in world football.

His former teammate, Przemyslaw Frankowski, regarded him as a world-class striker who is in the top five in world football.

Osimhen has also been previously labelled the best striker in the world. It certainly wouldn't be a surprise if he made his way back to a top-five league soon.

Osimhen would certainly solve some problems for Spurs when it comes to their attack, but it remains to be seen whether Spurs will be willing to pay enough to secure his signature.

Cody Gakpo isn't the only attacker reportedly on Tottenham Hotspur's radar as they could swoop for one of Europe's most highly-coveted youngsters.

The North Londoners have looked to put last season's relegation battle firmly behind them by spending big this summer. They have spent £100 million on Sandro Tonali, £85 million on Mateus Fernandes and £52 million on Jan Paul van Hecke.

Spurs aren't stopping there and have now reportedly set their sights on Gakpo. The Liverpool star joins Manchester City's Savinho on De Zerbi's shortlist, but they are also keeping an eye on developments regarding Paris Saint-Germain's pursuit of Mika Godts.

Tottenham Stay Informed on PSG Godts Pursuit

A report from TEAMtalk claims that Spurs are one of four Premier League clubs being informed of Godts' situation. PSG are stepping up their interest in the exciting Belgian winger who looks increasingly likely to leave Ajax.

The Ligue 1 giants have pivoted to Godts after missing out on RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande, who is set to join Real Madrid. While the 21-year-old is open to joining Luis Enrique's European champions, his entourage have been in contact with the Lilywhites "throughout the summer."

Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United have similarly been keeping up to date with his potential move to Paris. With a deal yet to be agreed between PSG and Ajax, there is a possibility that De Zerbi's transfer chiefs pounce.

Godts, dubbed "sensational", is a huge prospect having stepped up from the Dutch club's esteemed academy in 2024. He has caught the attention of Europe's big guns following a season in which he scored 17 goals and provided 15 assists in 44 games across competitions.

Godts Could Be Tottenham's Eden Hazard

Ajax are believed to be demanding around £51 million for Godts, who has three years left on his contract. If Spurs were to try to hijack PSG's move for the attacking gem, they would be forking out another hefty fee.

Godts' profile could suit De Zerbi's system, a right-footed left-winger with explosive pace and a high footballing IQ. The left wing was an issue for the North London outfit last season amid an injury crisis.
