Forget Leao: Tottenham Eyeing Another Portuguese Star Compared to Lionel Messi - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham are shifting their focus to strengthening their forward line after improving their defensive and midfield options in the summer transfer window.

It's been an incredibly busy window for Spurs so far, bringing in a total of six new additions for Roberto De Zerbi's squad.

Martin Dubravka, Jan-Paul Van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson, Mateus Fernandes, and Sandro Tonali have all arrived through the door at Hotspur Way.

The North London club shouldn't need too many more additions in defence or midfield, meaning they can now focus on their forward options for the rest of the window.

It is unclear what position in the attack they are likely to prioritise, but it seems they are in the market to sign a new winger.

Tottenham eyeing Portuguese star

According to a report from Record in Portugal, Tottenham are now eyeing a move to sign Sporting CP star Francisco Trincao in the summer transfer window.

Al Ahli of Saudi Arabia are willing to pay Sporting €50 million in order to sign the Portuguese international, but he still has other interests on the table.

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Al Ahli are in advanced talks to sign Trincao, with negotiations underway with the player.

It remains to be seen whether Trincao is keen on a move to Saudi Arabia, especially with interest from the Premier League.

Spurs certainly haven't been afraid to smash clubs out of the park when it comes to transfers this summer, but whether they can beat the money of Saudi Arabia is another question.

Tottenham eyeing Portuguese team-mate

Trincao isn't the only Portuguese international that Tottenham are showing an interest in during the summer transfer window. Spurs are also reportedly keen on AC Milan forward Rafael Leao, and he is keen on a move to Tottenham this summer.

Milan are reportedly seeking up to €70 million for Leao, so a deal for Trincao could be cheaper if Sporting are accepting €50m.

Trincao, who has been described as having shades of Lionel Messi, could be a better option for Tottenham, especially at that price, but given Spurs' spending this summer, it wouldn't be a surprise if they were in the market for both players.

It's been an incredibly busy window for them so far, but their business isn't finished just yet.

Description

Tottenham are in the market to sign a new winger in the summer transfer window as they look to continue improving Roberto De Zerbi's squad.

So far in the summer transfer window, Tottenham have heavily focused their recruitment on improving their midfield and defence.

At the back, Tottenham have brought in Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Jan-Paul Van Hecke to improve their defensive options.

In the middle of the park, Tottenham have added Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes, signing in big-money moves from Newcastle and West Ham respectively.

For the rest of the transfer window, attention could now turn to improving their forward line, with their defence and midfield seemingly sorted.

Tottenham in race for new winger

According to a report from Sky Sports, Tottenham are in the race to sign West Ham United winger Crysencio Summerville in the summer transfer window.

Manchester United are also in the race to secure his signature, and the Red Devils are aware that they may need to move quickly to beat Spurs in the race.

Tottenham have already beaten United in a race for a signing this summer, winning the battle to sign Portuguese midfielder Fernandes.

It is unclear where Summerville, who has been described as 'elite', could end up in the summer transfer window, with both Tottenham and United keen, but there is no doubt he is likely to leave.

The Hammers were relegated from the Premier League last season, and the Dutch international will be looking for a move back to the top league.

Tottenham also eyeing another forward

Summerville isn't the only forward that Tottenham are showing an interest in during the summer transfer window.

According to reports, Bournemouth's Eli Junior Kroupi is another target for Spurs, with the Cherries demanding in the region of £80m for him to depart.

Tottenham shouldn't need to make any more additions in defence or midfield, giving them the rest of the transfer window to heavily focus on signing new forwards.

Spurs have had a huge head start in the summer transfer window, securing six deals already, so they are already well prepared for the start of the new season.

'In The Coming Days' - Junior Kroupi's Agent Speaks Out After Tottenham Contact - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham have been linked with a move to sign Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi, and his agent has now spoken out on a potential transfer.

The Bournemouth attacker has become one of the most sought-after young players in the Premier League after an impressive breakthrough season with the Cherries.

Spurs are one of the sides believed to be showing an interest in Kroupi, and they have held talks with his representatives over a possible move.

Tottenham have already spent significantly in the summer window, so it'll be interesting to see whether they'll be willing to fork out what Bournemouth will likely charge for Kroupi

It's not going to be a cheap deal, and his agent has now spoken out about a possible move.

Tottenham: Kroupi's Agent Speaks Out

Speaking on Kroupi's future, agent Moussa Sissoko has confirmed that there is no final decision on where the forward will end up.

Sissoko has confirmed that they are still discussing his future, and we will see what happens in the coming days amid interest from Tottenham.

“We are still discussing his future. We’ll see what happens in the coming days; at the moment, there is no final decision."

Sissoko hasn't mentioned any specific clubs despite the links to both Tottenham and Barcelona.

It's certainly not going to be a cheap deal for any club to complete, with Bournemouth having him tied down for another four years.

The Frenchman has only spent one season with the Cherries, so it's unlikely that they want to get rid of him so quickly.

Kroupi asking price

Bournemouth are set to demand in the region of £80 million to allow Kroupi to leave in the summer transfer window.

Tottenham have already spent over £200 million on new additions, bringing in the likes of Mateus Fernandes, Sandro Tonali and Jan-Paul van Hecke.

Spurs clearly have a budget for further reinforcements, considering the links over the last few weeks, and they are yet to strengthen in the attack.

Tottenham have prioritised bringing in defensive and midfield reinforcements during the summer transfer window, but attention could turn to the forward line in the near future.

Forget Kroupi: Tottenham Table Bid to Sign 'Exceptional' Forward for De Zerbi - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are ready to make a new forward their priority after completing six deals already this summer, and a bid has gone in for a surprise name.

Spurs have already brought in Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes, and Sandro Tonali, and have now been heavily linked with a move for Bournemouth star Eli Junior Kroupi to strengthen their attack.

But with the Cherries still adamant that the young French forward is not for sale, despite talk of an £85m bid being lined up, Spurs have now turned their attention to a familiar face to fill the spot.

Tottenham Table Bid for Kolo Muani Return

According to a report by TuttoSport, Kolo Muani's time at Paris Saint-Germain is over, and he is being offered out to a number of clubs, including Juventus.

However, the France international is understood to have a number of offers on the table, including one from Tottenham, where he spent the 2025/26 season on a season-long loan.

Kolo Muani, who has been described as 'exceptional', had a difficult campaign in England, registering just five goals in 41 appearances for the club. His loan expired without a buy option being triggered, but it has now emerged that the north London side are back in the race.

Roberto De Zerbi is understood to be happy with the move, and a return hasn't been ruled out, while there is also interest from former club Eintracht Frankfurt, and Premier League rivals Aston Villa for his signature.

Juventus remain the frontrunners to get a deal done, with PSG open to another season-long loan deal with a €40m (£34m) obligation to buy, but their financial situation means talks have stalled and others have been given the opportunity to step in.

Tottenham Crazy To Go Back for Kolo Muani

Kolo Muani has had a stellar reputation for much of his career because of his talent as a youngster, but he's now 27 and it's clear that he isn't good enough for the highest level.

Spurs want to get to that level again, and bringing him back into the squad would be a backwards step in the wrong direction, and it would be a mistake after all the progress that has been made this summer.

If Kroupi isn't available, then there are other strikers available on the market who would improve the team, and they should look at them instead, rather than wasting money onsomeone who has already proven to be not of the required standard.

Contact Made: Tottenham Want to Sign Electric Forward Who Erling Haaland Loves

Contact Made: Tottenham Want to Sign Electric Forward Who Erling Haaland Loves - GiveMeSport
Description

Norway have the opportunity to seal a place in the final four of the World Cup when they face England in a quarter-final showdown on Saturday evening.

Last featuring in the world's biggest competition back in 1998, Stale Solbakken's team have made a real impression in North America this summer, with Erling Haaland dominating the headlines so far after plundering seven goals in only four games.

The Manchester City striker isn't the only one catching the attention, though, as international teammate Antonio Nusa is one of a number of players to excel for Norway.

The tricky left-winger who is blessed with pace has one World Cup goal to his name already, a stunning curling strike that found the top corner in their 2-1 round of 32 win over Ivory Coast.

Nusa's name will already be familiar to many after talk of a Premier League move in the past, something which will now in fact ramp up ahead of the new season after catching the eye for his country at the World Cup.

North London battle for Nusa

Tottenham are among a host of Premier League clubs who are sizing up a summer move for Nusa, according to TEAMtalk, with Spurs now looking to imporve their forward line after bolstering their backline and midfield already in the summer transfer window.

Having already impressed at club level for RB Leipzig, interest in the 21-year-old has stepped up after taking his chance on the international stage.

Tottenham have always admired the Oslo-born star and previously tried to sign him during the January transfer window in 2024 prior to his failed move to Brentford.

Arsenal, Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace are the other three Premier League clubs joining and Tottenham in having an interest in Nusa.

The player looks set to have interest in his services from elsewhere as well, with AC Milan, Napoli, Roma, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona also credited with interest.

Haaland praise for Nusa

Haaland may be the Norwegian player who regularly comes in for praise, but the prolific striker dished out some of his own when previously speaking about Nusa.

Making a name for himself in Belgium with Club Brugge and looking set to secure a Premier League move in 2024, Nusa was hailed by his fellow countryman.

"He's fantastic," stated the City striker. "So it is important to take care of him and not hype him too much, even though he is a great talent.

"It is important to leave him alone and give him the opportunity to develop."

Nusa has taken his game even further in the two years since Haaland's praise and a summer move from RB Leipzig may well now happen with the Premier League a likely destination.

Tottenham Make Mikey Moore Transfer Decision After Rangers and Dortmund Interest

Tottenham Make Mikey Moore Transfer Decision After Rangers and Dortmund Interest - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham are ready to loan out one of their key stars, but their condition could complicate one particular deal. Spurs have fearlessly bolstered their squad this summer, putting together a club-record transfer window already.

The North London club's £235million or so investment this summer is more than they have ever spent in one window, and that total will continue to rise. Roberto De Zerbi is being given the chance to overhaul his squad in a bid to get them into Europe next season, but while there is excitement aplenty, the new signings are not good news for everyone.

Some of the club's young players now have very little chance of getting regular playing time, and Mikey Moore is one of those players.

Moore set for another loan spell

Tottenham youngster Moore spent last season out on loan with Scottish giants Rangers, making 33 league appearances, scoring seven and providing three assists. Moore impressed his loan club, and it appears they would like him back ahead of next season, even after changing manager, with Derek McInnes replacing Danny Rohl.

Moore is being backed for a big future, still only 18, and he has previously impressed in the Spurs first team, making 12 Premier League appearances to date. The winger is under contract until 2030, and it's clear Spurs believe he is a player who can become a starter at the club some day.

In fact, according to TeamTalk, Tottenham are blocking an approach from Borussia Dortmund to sign Moore on a loan deal with an option to buy. Spurs are said to be willing to loan out Moore again this season amid talks with Dortmund, but they will not allow the opportunity to sign the young player permanently.

Rangers could have an open window

It remains to be seen whether Dortmund will go ahead with the deal under those conditions, but it could offer Rangers the chance to steal a march, given they will likely happily do a loan deal without the possibility of a future purchase. Meanwhile, Dortmund are a top-tier club who have a rich history of developing young talents, and they are likely to want to own the player's rights if they are going to play such a big part in his development.

Rangers star James Tavernier said of Moore last season: "We had a difficult start to the season and Mikey responded well. He kept his head down and continued working hard.

"You can see his performances on the pitch; it is credit to him. Players can go under or go missing after the start we had, but he has taken everything on his shoulders and is pushing himself as a player."

Tottenham Pushing to Sign Attacker Spotted at Hotspur Way in Last 24 Hours - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are pushing hard to sign an exciting attacking sensation this summer, with the player being spotted at Hotspur Way on Wednesday.

There is no doubt that, so far at least, Tottenham are the winners of the summer transfer window having already secured six signings, including the big-money double midfield signing of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes.

Not only that, but Spurs' defence is completely transformed too, following the addition of a Premier League and Champions League winner in Andy Robertson, as well as Argentina international Marcos Senesi, both on free transfers.

Jan Paul van Hecke and Martin Dubravka have also been signed, but Tottenham chiefs are far from done as they look to give Roberto De Zerbi the squad he wants and needs to drive the north Londoners up the Premier League table next term.

Spurs are looking to sign a new left-winger and potentially a centre-forward too, especially if Richarlison leaves as has been rumoured, with Manchester City's Savinho and AC Milan wide man Rafael Leao among those players linked for the flanks.

Tottenham are also keen on Bournemouth sensation Eli Junior Kroupi, following an outstanding breakthrough campaign in the Premier League for the Cherries.

The club will also be looking to add players for the future too, like Mishel Nduka.

Tottenham Firmly in Race to Sign Mishel Nduka

According to a top Spurs source on X, Tottenham are pushing hard to sign Arsenal youngster Nduka.

The Gunners' attacking midfield sensation is in demand this summer and is also being heavily linked with a move to Manchester City, but it is claimed that he was at Hotspur Way on Wednesday, presumably for talks and to look around at the facilities on offer.

The north Londoners are also in the race to sign another promising youngster in Darren Motsi from Leicester City.

Tottenham In Talks to Sign Third Midfielder

Fresh reports on Thursday also claim that Tottenham are in talks to bring a third midfielder to the club after the deals for Tonali and Fernandes.

Spurs are in discussions to sign Ousmane Diabate from Turkish top-flight club Genclerbirligi, after the 18-year-old broke into their first team last season.

However, Tottenham's London Premier League rivals Brentford are currently considered the favourites to get a deal done for the teenager, who could be on the move to England this summer.

Of course, Spurs already have their own highly-rated young midfielders in De Zerbi's first team squad, boasting the likes of Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Pape Matar Sarr.

All three players have been linked with moves away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer after the Italian boss showed a preference to stick with experience over youth at the end of last season.

With Spurs' midfield options already including Rodrigo Bentancur and Conor Gallagher, as well as the two new boys, there is significant competition for places in the club's engine room ahead of the new campaign.

Man Utd Set to Make Bid to Sign Portuguese Midfielder After Ederson Update

Man Utd Set to Make Bid to Sign Portuguese Midfielder After Ederson Update - GiveMeSport
Description

Manchester United are set to make a bid to sign another Portuguese midfielder after missing out on Mateus Fernandes, according to United in Focus.

Man United's summer business had slowed down after they reached a full agreement to sign Ederson from Atalanta, although they had been attempting to land Fernandes from West Ham United as their second midfield target.

However, they were unwilling to match what Spurs were willing to pay for the 21-year-old, and he has moved to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium instead to link up with fellow new boy Sandro Tonali in the centre of the park.

GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed that the Ederson transfer is now also in doubt ahead of the player undergoing a second medical in the UK, although Red Devils chiefs have made progress elsewhere.

It was reported by David Ornstein on Wednesday that the club has reached a £50m agreement with Chelsea to sign Andrey Santos, with the Brazilian set to travel to Manchester to complete the formalities before officially putting pen to paper.

Even if Ederson does end up joining along with Santos, reports have suggested that another new midfielder could still arrive following the serious injury suffered by Manuel Ugarte at the World Cup with Uruguay.

Man United Prepare £20m Mateus Mane Offer

According to United in Focus, Man United are now preparing to make a £20m offer to Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers to sign their Portuguese midfielder Mateus Mane.

The Red Devils are in the race with many top clubs across Europe, including Liverpool, for the exciting 18-year-old following a breakthrough campaign with the Midlands outfit in the Premier League.

The midfielder was one of the shining lights in a disastrous campaign that saw Wolves suffer relegation, with the club placing a £35m price tag on his head this summer as they look to keep him to secure an immediate return to the top flight next term.

United have held a long-term interest in the teenager, and are now ready to test the waters with an opening offer for a player who looks to have a huge future in the game and came through the ranks locally with Rochdale.

Man United Eyeing Surprise Striker Move

Man United chiefs are also said to be weighing up a surprise move for Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey as they consider bolstering their attacking options ahead of their return to the Champions League.

Michael Carrick currently has Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Joshua Zirkzee as his options to choose from in the position, but the latter could be on his way out of Old Trafford if the club receives an acceptable offer having found minutes hard to come by last season.

Brobbey was an impressive performer for newly-promoted Sunderland in the Premier League last season, which led to his inclusion in the Netherlands squad for the 2026 World Cup.

The Dutch may have been knocked out of the tournament by Morocco, but the 24-year-old did his reputation no harm at all with three goals in four appearances in North America.

Tottenham in Talks to Sign Third Midfielder After Tonali and Fernandes - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham are now said to be working on a third midfielder signing after spending big to land Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes this summer. Those two signings alone cost Spurs around £185million when add-ons are factored in, and they have played a central role in pushing Spurs to a record-spend in one transfer window, totaling more than £235million.

More spending is expected, with Roberto De Zerbi set to be handed a winger and potentially a striker, and a fresh report has claimed there could be another midfielder signing in the offing in the form of a talented up-and-coming defensive midfielder.

Spurs now in talks over Ousmane Diabate

Tottenham are said to be in talks over a deal for holding midfielder Ousmane Diabate, who has been impressing for Turkish top-flight club Genclerbirligi, or mainly their youth setup. The 18-year-old broke into the first team last season, making four league appearances, while he also attracted attention for his performances in the under-19s Turkish Super Lig.

Diabate has also won a senior cap for the Guinea national team, and it's clear his current club think a lot of him having given him a contract that keeps him in place for another three years, or at least theoretically.

Tottenham and Brentford are both said to be in talks with the midfielder at this stage, but the Bees are said to hold the upper-hand. It's claimed an offer of £3million plus bonuses will be enough to seal the deal this summer.

Spurs keeping one eye on the future

These talks, whether they turn into a deal or not, will be refreshing for Tottenham fans, some of whom have expressed concerns about the summer's transfer approach. While the fancy new signings are exciting for fans, particularly after poor investment in recent years, it is a hard turn away from the youth-based approach that has seen the club procure and develop some big talents, such as Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Mikely Moore.

These talks signal that while Spurs are looking to win now, signing polished targets who are ready to make an impact, they are not giving up on signing young players, and they are still keeping an eye on the future by scouting and attempting to recruit young players who have the potential to grow in ability and value. That's an important factor, especially these days, in the age of strict Profit and Sustainability rules.

He's Agreed to Join: Tottenham Preparing Offer to Sign 'World-Class' Savinho Upgrade - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham Hotspur have already completed six signings in what has been a remarkable summer transfer window to date, but they are far from being finished.

Tottenham completed the impressive free transfer signings of Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi early on, with the experienced Premier League duo joined by Jan Paul van Hecke and Martin Dubravka as Roberto De Zerbi completely reshapes his defensive line.

Spurs' next business was even more impressive though, as they beat off competition from the biggest clubs in the Premier League to land Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali in an astonishing double midfield swoop, with West Ham United and Newcastle United receiving a combined £185m for their players.

With half-a-dozen new faces arriving at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, departures are also expected following successive 17th-place finishes in the English top flight, with Cristian Romero, Luka Vuskovic, Richarlison and Djed Spence among the players who could complete transfers away from north London.

Tottenham's new transfer focus in terms of incomings is now further forward, as they look to bolster a frontline that will be without Randal Kolo Muani next term following a disappointing season-long loan spell from Paris Saint-Germain.

A new winger and striker could arrive, with the left-flank the particular area the club is looking to strengthen.

Rafael Leao Agrees to Join Tottenham

AC Milan winger Rafael Leao publicly confirmed earlier this summer that he wants to explore a new opportunity away from the San Siro, following seven years with the Serie A giants.

The Portugal international, who will be on his way home from the World Cup after his nation were beaten by Spain in the round of 16, is a target for Saudi Arabian clubs, but his real desire is to move to the Premier League.

According to journalist Daniele Longo, Leao is willing to wait for a move to Tottenham this summer and is ready to say yes to linking up with De Zerbi in the English capital.

Leao Would be a Savinho Upgrade

While Pep Guardiola has always waxed lyrical about Savinho, his lack of starts and minutes in general last term sum up a largely underwhelming City career to date.

The Brazilian would arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with Premier League experience in tow, but he is clearly far from the finished article after a season where he contributed four goals and three assists in 36 appearances in all competitions.

At 22 years of age, the forward has time on his side, but we also know that De Zerbi likes players who will do a great job for Spurs right now.

Step forward Leao, who has been doing it at one of the biggest clubs in Europe for seven years now, in both Serie A and the Champions League.

While his consistency levels have dropped over the last season or two, Leao continues to exhibit his ridiculous pace and trickery on a regular basis.
