Tottenham Hotspur are one of the sides showing an interest in signing Monaco attacking midfielder Maghnes Akliouche, according to a report from CaughtOffside.

After such a disappointing season in the Premier League, it could be a busy summer transfer window for Spurs as they look to bring in reinforcements. A host of new signings will be necessary to steer them back in the right direction, despite them lifting a trophy.

Ange Postecoglou's side rescued something from a disastrous campaign by beating Manchester United in the Europa League final. Although an incredible achievement, their Premier League displays can't go unnoticed.

Tottenham Eyeing Maghnes Akliouche

Could cost £59m

According to a report from CaughtOffside, Tottenham are one of the sides who are showing an interest in signing Monaco attacking midfielder Akliouche. The Ligue 1 outfit could demand in the region of £59m to allow him to head through the exit door this summer, while the Premier League could be a likely destination for the 23-year-old.

Akliouche, who has a 'left foot made of gold' according to talent scout Jacek Kulig, has been described as an 'insane' talent, bursting onto the scene in Monaco's first team at the age of 19. The young playmaker has become a key player for the Ligue 1 outfit this season, so it's no surprise that they are set to demand a hefty fee to allow him to depart.

Akliouche's versatility could make him a useful option for Postecoglou. The French international plays as an attacking midfielder or winger, and he's a major creative threat in the final third. The 23-year-old produced 10 assists in La Liga this season, scoring five goals along the way.

The Monaco star also made an impact in the Champions League, featuring in 10 games for the French side, providing four goals and assists combined in the campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur star Heung-Min Son is likely to be approached about a move to Saudi Arabia this summer, according to talkSPORT.

The Lilywhites have secured Champions League football for next season after winning the Europa League final 1-0 against Manchester United, despite finishing the Premier League in 17th place after a remarkably poor campaign.

But now captain Son faces a major decision over his future with big-spending Saudi clubs looking at attracting him to the Middle East.

Saudi Clubs Eyeing Son Move

Son prefers to stay in London

The Saudi Pro League are looking to add a new array of talent to their ranks this summer and are keen to bring in new superstars with Victor Osimhen, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah all targeted for moves.

But after Salah opted to stay at Liverpool instead after winning the Premier League, Son has now emerged as a target for the club following his most recent success.

Son, dubbed "world-class" by Ange Postecoglou, is regarded as one of Spurs' best players in the modern era and finally lifted his first trophy last week despite not starting in the final, having recently recovered from a foot injury.

But after failing with a big-money bid for Brighton star Kaoru Mitoma in January, the club are now eyeing Son as their Asian superstar for the league with a new international TV deal set to kick in this season.

However, talkSPORT report that Son would have to have a change of heart about his stance on a move to Saudi as he would currently prefer to stay in London for another year at least.

Son, who will turn 33 this summer, saw his contract with Spurs extended by a further 12 months earlier this season. There are question marks about the futures of Richarlison, Wilson Odobert and Mathys Tel who all play in attack, and that could also be a factor in Son's future at the club.

Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a blockbuster summer move to sign RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons, according to ESPN FC.

The Lilywhites overcame their worst domestic season in decades as they finished 17th in the Premier League to secure Champions League football by winning the Europa League, ending their 17-year trophy drought in the process.

Now Daniel Levy is keen to bolster the squad ahead of the new campaign, and Netherlands international Simons is someone they are said to be keeping an eye on.

Tottenham Want to Sign Xavi Simons

Player wants to leave RB Leipzig

With plenty of change expected in North London this summer, the club are planning their transfer window carefully. However, with no final decision made yet on the future of manager Ange Postecoglou, no moves have been made yet.

According to ESPN FC though, the club are paying close attention to Netherlands international Simons, who has made it clear that he wants to leave RB Leipzig this summer.

The playmaker, who has been described as 'one of the best no.10's in the world', made his loan move from Paris Saint-Germain permanent in January with the intention of leaving this summer in a mega-money move.

Spurs are expected to strengthen the attack this summer, with question marks over the futures of Heung-Min Son, Richarlison, Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert, while midfielders James Maddison and Yves Bissouma could also be on the move.

With Champions League football now in play for next season, the club have much more money to spend now and will also be able to attract a better calibre of player, which is where Simons fits in.

Xavi, who has been labelled a 'superstar', is also said to be attracting the interest of several other top European clubs including Barcelona, but their financial situation means a deal to see him return to the Camp Nou is unlikely.

Tottenham are also looking to bring in Southampton star Tyler Dibling alongside Angel Gomes and new defenders, with Cristian Romero potentially set to leave.

Tottenham Hotspur have suffered a setback in their pursuit of Hugo Larsson as it has been confirmed that Eintracht Frankfurt will not entertain lowering their demands for the Hotspur Way target during the fast-approaching summer transfer window, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Spurs ended their 17-year wait to add to the trophy cabinet by beating Manchester United in the Europa League final last week, leading to boss Ange Postecoglou and members of the recruitment department being desperate to show ambition as preparations are made for next season.

A final decision still needs to be made over whether to make Mathys Tel a permanent member of the squad, with there being a £45million option to buy him from Bayern Munich after an initial loan spell, but Tottenham have been giving indications that they want to improve their options in the middle of the park.

Spurs Discover Larsson Has a Hefty Price Tag

Sweden international will not head to north London for bargain fee

Tottenham are facing an uphill battle to seal a summer deal for Larsson, according to GMS sources, as influential figures behind the scenes have discovered that they will have to fork out £50million in order to convince Eintracht Frankfurt to sanction his departure after playing a key role in qualifying for the Champions League.

The Bundesliga giants have been expecting offers for the Sweden international, thanks to Spurs not being the only side to have shown interest ahead of the transfer window reopening for business, and that has resulted in them being determined to hold out for a hefty fee instead of entertaining the possibility of accepting a cut-price offer.

GMS sources have been informed that it would come as a shock if Tottenham choose to meet the demands for Larsson, who has been among the first names on the team sheet for Eintracht Frankfurt, but they are still contemplating whether to try their luck by entering discussions in the coming weeks.

The central midfielder's current employers are in a strong negotiating position thanks to there still being four years remaining on a contract which allows him to pocket in excess of £30,000-per-week, complicating matters for Spurs, and they are determined to avoid a situation where their squad is decimated as they prepare to return to the Champions League.

Tottenham have been tracking Larsson with a view to lodging a formal offer this summer, GMS sources have learned, but their hopes of being able to reach an agreement for a lower figure have gone up in smoke due to Eintracht Frankfurt being adamant that they have priced him at fair market value.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Hugo Larsson won six ground duels and made five tackles during Eintracht Frankfurt's Europa League quarter-final first leg draw with Tottenham Hotspur last month

Postecoglou Must Meet Demands for Larsson

Replacement already being lined up ahead of 20-year-old's exit

GMS sources have been told that Eintracht Frankfurt are prepared to sell Larsson to Tottenham if Postecoglou and key decision-makers are willing to meet the German side's financial expectations, meaning the possibility of him embarking on a fresh challenge in north London has not been ruled out.

The 20-year-old, who has been described as 'exceptional' after taking his game to another level in his current surroundings, will unite with fellow countrymen Dejan Kulusevski and Lucas Bergvall if he is given the green light to become the latest addition to Spurs' squad ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

Eintracht Frankfurt have already been preparing for Larsson's potential departure from Deutsche Bank Park by attempting to recruit Jobe Bellingham in the aftermath of sealing promotion to the Premier League with Sunderland, GMS sources understand, and that may open the door for Tottenham to pounce.

GMS sources recently revealed that Roony Bardghji is open to completing a summer move to Spurs, having been assessing his options as he edges towards entering the final six months of his Copenhagen contract, highlighting that it could be a busy summer for technical director Johan Lange and chairman Daniel Levy.

Tottenham are eyeing a summer move to sign Jacob Ramsey this summer with Aston Villa facing the potential scenario of being forced to sell, according to talkSPORT.

The Lilywhites had their worst domestic season in decades after finishing 17th in the Premier League, but secured Champions League football for next season via the back door after winning the Europa League and ending a 17-year trophy drought in the process.

That has hugely boosted the club's transfer budget and chances of signing new talent this summer, and now Spurs are eyeing a move to bolster their midfield with proven talent.

Tottenham Want to Sign Ramsey

Aston Villa could be forced to sell him

After qualification for the Champions League was secured, Spurs have begun to put their plans into place for the summer transfer window and Ramsey has emerged as a target.

Aston Villa missed out on qualifying for the Champions League on the final day of the season after suffering a 2-0 defeat to Manchester United, and that will now greatly effect their summer transfer window as they have got major concerns with PSR and FFP limits.

According to talkSPORT, the club may now be forced into a major sale to balance the books, and Ramsey being an academy player means that any money made from his sale will be recorded as 100% profit on their books.

Tottenham are reportedly keen on bringing him in, and with Villa rating Ramsey, who has been described as 'unbelievable', at £50m there is scope for a deal to be done now.

There are still question marks over the future of manager Ange Postecoglou, with some still expecting him to be sacked after poor results in the Premier League, although it's understood that a final decision is yet to be made.

There is expected to be plenty of business done in north London this summer, with midfielder Yves Bissouma expected to be on the move despite coming back into contention in the final run of the season. Ramsey could be the perfect addition to the side as a replacement.

Tottenham have been offered the chance to sign Bayern Munich forward Leroy Sane on a free transfer this summer, Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol has revealed.

The Lilywhites have reportedly been alerted to the former Manchester City star’s upcoming availability, after Sane rejected a contract offer from Bayern to extend his expiring deal.

The Germany international has turned down a proposal worth £250,000 per week including bonuses to prolong his stay in Munich, but remains in talks with the German club, who are keen to keep him.

Turkish giants Galatasaray are also believed to be interested in the 29-year-old forward, though his move to Istanbul appears unlikely at present.

Leroy Sane Offered to Tottenham

He has rejected a contract offer from Bayern

According to Sky Sports, Bayern are not expected to improve their offer for Sane, despite their desire for the German winger to extend his stay at the Allianz Arena.

Premier League clubs are also ‘reluctant’ to meet his wage demands, given that Sane turns 30 in January, despite the forward’s willingness to return to England for family reasons.

Sane, praised as ‘world-class’, has been a regular under Vincent Kompany at Bayern this season, making 45 appearances across all competitions, scoring 13 goals and providing six assists.

The £325,000-a-week star finished the Bundesliga campaign on a particularly strong run of form, registering seven goal contributions in his final nine appearances.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Sane made 135 appearances during his four-year spell with Man City.

Tottenham have been handed a major boost to their transfer plans following their Europa League victory, which means the North London club will be playing Champions League football next season.

According to GIVEMESPORT sources, last week’s win in Bilbao has particularly boosted Spurs’ confidence in their pursuit of Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi, who was the subject of a £70m bid in January.

Tottenham Hotspur could complete a move to sign a star from one of their rivals, according to reports from Spain - with the Lilywhites registering their interest in Chelsea star Christopher Nkunku ahead of a potential summer move after their qualification for the Champions League was confirmed last week.

Spurs have had a poor campaign on domestic soil, marking their worst-ever Premier League season and crashing out of the FA Cup early, despite a run to the League Cup semi-finals. But their Europa League win has saved their skin to confirm European football and that could see them make a move for the out-of-sorts Chelsea star to bolster their ranks.

Report: Nkunku Departure 'Assured', Tottenham 'Willing' to Negotiate

The Chelsea star needs a fresh move to turn his fortunes around

The report by Fichajes states that Nkunku's departure from Chelsea is 'virtually assured' before the summer transfer window begins, with the Frenchman having been on the radar of several interested clubs who wish to add him to their squad.

The situation now appears to be clearer for the 'stunning' attacker and his current team, with official talks between the parties set to begin as interest has grown since January.

With that in mind, Tottenham are among the teams that have shown the 'greatest interest' in signing the former RB Leipzig man in the summer. Ange Postecoglou sees him as an important reinforcement, but they are also willing to negotiate an initial loan with Chelsea, which would turn into a €45million (£37.7million) option to buy clause.

That is a proposal that could be attractive to Chelsea, with the Blues looking to offload a £300,000-per-week player who hasn't had much of an impact on their first-team squad this season, whilst recouping some of their initial investment which saw them part with £52million for Nkunku two years ago.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Christopher Nkunku has one goal in 14 caps for the France national team.

For Spurs, a loan-with-option clause suits them immeasurably, with club chiefs being able to assess how well he fits their squad before plunging to land him on a permanent deal. The Lilywhites can at least offer Champions League football to prospective signings and that could drag a deal for Nkunku over the line, despite finishing 17th in the Premier League to record their worst-ever placing since the competition began all the way back in 1992.

Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a significant boost ahead of potentially pushing to win the race for Roony Bardghji as the Copenhagen star has been giving indications that he is prepared to complete a switch to Hotspur Way when the transfer window reopens, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Spurs are heading into the summer having ended their 17-year wait for silverware, thanks to Brennan Johnson's first half goal in the Europa League final victory over Manchester United last week, but boss Ange Postecoglou and influential figures behind the scenes are eager to bolster the squad.

Although Tottenham still need to make a final decision on whether to keep Mathys Tel, with there being a £45million option to buy the Frenchman at the end of his loan spell from Bayern Munich, Bardghji is on the north Londoners' radar as a potential acquisition as preparations are made for next season.

Bardghji Interested in Making Switch to Spurs

North Londoners could still opt against attempting to land teenager

Bardghji is open to sealing a summer move to Tottenham, according to GMS sources, but there remains uncertainty over whether he will be among the fresh faces to head to the capital as he has not been pinpointed as a priority target despite being included on a long list of possible recruits.

The wide forward is preparing to enter the final six months of his Copenhagen contract, with his current terms being due to expire at the end of December, and that has resulted in him being eager to assess potential landing spots as the Danish side consider taking advantage of their final opportunity to cash in.

GMS sources have been informed that Tottenham are long-term admirers of Bardghji, who has showcased his talent since breaking into the senior squad at the Parken Stadium, and he is interested in embarking on a fresh challenge in the Premier League for the first time in his career.

Spurs are contemplating whether to recruit the Sweden under-21 international, who has been described as an 'outrageous talent' by scout Jacek Kulig, as they go in search of providing the likes of fellow countryman Dejan Kulusevski and Johnson with improved competition on the right flank.

Tottenham are aware that Bardghji will hold good value in the market as his contract situation has led to Copenhagen being unable to demand a hefty sum, GMS sources have learned, and their interest may intensify if it becomes clear that he is available for a cut-price fee in the region of £10million.

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

Postecoglou to Face Competition for Bardghji

Premier League rivals in hunt for Sweden under-21 international

GMS sources have been told that Tottenham are in danger of facing stiff competition from Premier League counterparts if they decide to up the ante as Bardghji has also been in Manchester City's sights for a prolonged period, while Manchester United, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa's potential interest is being explored.

The 19-year-old was ruled out for up to 12 months when he sustained a serious knee injury during a training session with Copenhagen in May 2024, but he made his return to action in March and Spurs have been among the sides keeping tabs on his performances following his spell on the treatment table.

Bardghji also has options away from the Premier League as Lazio and Lille are interested in tempting him to Serie A and Ligue 1 respectively, GMS sources understand, and other admirers are expected to enter the race in the coming days as they prepare for the summer transfer window to open for business.

GMS sources recently revealed that Spurs are increasingly confident that the teenager will be attracted to the prospect of linking up with Lucas Bergvall, who he has played alongside at youth level for Sweden, if he is given the green-light to complete a switch to north London before next season.

Tottenham Hotspur are unlikely to make a decision on whether they will keep Ange Postecoglou at the club heading into the new season, according to Football London writer Alasdair Gold.

It was looking like a disastrous season for Tottenham, with the north London club finishing in 17th position in the Premier League. A Europa League final was an opportunity to save their campaign, and Spurs managed to beat Manchester United to lift the trophy.

Whether that was enough to save Postecoglou's job remains to be seen, but there's no doubt it was a phenomenal achievement for a club who have struggled to win silverware in recent years. Spurs have a crucial decision to make after such a strange season considering their Premier League struggles alongside lifting a trophy.

He could remain in charge

Reporting for Football London, reliable journalist Gold has confirmed that Tottenham are unlikely to make a decision on Postecoglou this week, with the Australian manager and his staff heading on their post-season holidays. Gold adds that there is a chance that Postecoglou could remain in charge for the 2025/2026 campaign after ending Tottenham's trophy drought.

GIVEMESPORT sources also confirmed on Monday that Tottenham were unlikely to make a decision before Postecoglou jetted off on his holidays this week. It's understood that Brentford manager Thomas Frank is emerging as a contender for the job if Daniel Levy opts to sack Postecoglou, with Marco Silva publicly stating that he wouldn't be leaving Fulham.

It will be interesting to see the decision Levy opts to make over the coming weeks, and there's no doubt it could become a controversial one. Some fans will understandably want to get rid of him due to their catastrophic form in the Premier League, while others won't be able to ignore the fact that he delivered a trophy to the club after a long drought without silverware.

Richard Keys predicts Ange Postecoglou will be sacked by Tottenham Hotspur following their Europa League victory, as Daniel Levy ‘won’t make the same mistake’ as Sir Jim Ratcliffe last summer.

The former Sky Sports presenter says Postecoglou ‘won’t be in charge in August’ despite ending Spurs’ 17-year wait for a trophy last week and compares his situation to former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag’s.

The Dutch tactician was handed a contract extension following a victory in the FA Cup last season, only for United to sack him months later and appoint Ruben Amorim, who oversaw the Red Devils’ worst-ever Premier League campaign.

Tottenham, however, fared no better this season, finishing 17th in the league table under Postecoglou, who has been placed under heavy scrutiny amid the club’s dismal domestic campaign.

Richard Keys Expects Postecoglou to Leave Spurs

‘Levy won’t make the same mistake’

Keys, writing in his blog, predicted that Postecoglou will not be in charge of Tottenham next season despite delivering a Europa League trophy:

“Daniel Levy’s silence is damning. Ange won’t be in charge in August. Nor should he be.

“I backed him for a long time this season and he did really well delivering a trophy - but those who want him out were right - and they’ll get their way I’m sure.

“Levy won’t make the same mistake the Jim Reaper and the brains trust did with ten Hag.”

Postecoglou oversaw Tottenham’s worst-ever Premier League campaign this season, as the North London club finished outside the top 15 for the first time in their history.

The Lilywhites won only once in their last 12 top-flight matches, a 3-1 victory over bottom-placed Southampton, and ended the season on a three-game losing streak.

As a result of their Europa League win, Tottenham will play Champions League football next season and could become a more attractive destination for their managerial targets.

Spurs were heavily linked with a move for former Ajax boss Francesco Farioli in recent weeks, while Brentford manager Thomas Frank has also recently emerged as a contender.
