Middlesbrough are in advanced talks to sign a Tottenham star in the summer transfer window.

We could see a host of Tottenham players leave the club on permanent deals during the summer transfer window, especially if the spending continues.

Spurs have already bought a number of new additions to the club, and the nature of modern football finances means some players will have to leave.

When it comes to young stars, they might fail to see a pathway into the first team with Tottenham strengthening with plenty of senior additions.

An example is Luka Vuskovic, who joined Brighton earlier in the window. And it appears that he's not going to be the only one.

Middlesbrough pushing for Tottenham star

According to reliable reporter Alasdair Gold, Middlesbrough are in advanced talks to sign Will Lankshear on a permanent deal from Tottenham.

Lankshear, who won Oxford United's Golden Boot and Young Player of the Year last season, was highly rated at Spurs, but it appears they are willing to cash in.

Middlesbrough failed to gain promotion to the Premier League last season, with a lack of a top-quality striker being a key reason.

As mentioned, Lankshear was highly rated, so it will be interesting to see if Spurs seal a deal in their favour by including a sell-on clause or a buyback option.

Tottenham must show pathway for young players

Tottenham won't have an unlimited pot of money to buy new additions for their first team, so they do need to ensure they are better at developing young talent.

Although Tottenham received a huge fee for Vuskovic in the summer, it's still another young talent lost, and Lankshear looks set to be the next.

We're also seeing Lucas Bergvall linked with a move away from the club, while Tynan Thompson recently joined Manchester United.

Although this may have been Spurs' decision to allow them all to depart with the fees considered good value, they still need to ensure they are better at improving and developing young players.

Newcastle United are ready to brave a battle with Premier League duo Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur and try to sign one of the top-flight's most in-demand full-backs.

It's been another frustrating summer for Eddie Howe and the Magpies after missing out on top targets for their rivals. They were close to sealing a deal for Victor Munoz before Liverpool swooped in and signed the Spanish winger from Osasuna.

Newcastle set their sights on Swiss midfielder Johan Manzambi, but he chose Aston Villa, where he'll replace Chelsea-bound Morgan Rogers. Setback after setback for the Tyneside outfit has given them an almighty task to try to rebuild Howe's squad.

Newcastle Enter Race For Neco Williams

Despite the struggles that have ensued for Newcastle so far this summer, they are reportedly ready to move for Nottingham Forest's Neco Williams. The Welshman is a wanted man, with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur also interested in signing the former Liverpool star.

According to Football Insider, the Magpies are prepared to join the race for Williams and hand Howe a versatile full-back. He has emerged as a target thanks to his ability to play on both sides of the defence.

Williams, dubbed "exceptional" enjoyed a superb past season with Forest, featuring 37 times in the league, posting two goals and three assists. His impressive displays haven't gone unnoticed and there's a chance he moves on this summer.

That said, Forest are reportedly trying to hold on to the 25-year-old and are 'pushing ahead with talks to renew his contract.' He joined the Tricky Trees from Liverpool in the summer of 2022 for around £16 million.

Neco Williams Could Be a Real Asset

While there's no mention of a fee involved in a potential deal for Williams, he'd be an excellent signing for Newcastle. He's as versatile as they come and has years of experience playing at the highest level.

The Welsh star is also at the right age to make an immediate impact in Howe's team rather than a young prospect who needs time and patience. But the threat of Spurs and United is worth noting given they are in the midst of rebuilding their squads.

Depending on the price, Williams could prove to be a superb acquisition for the Magpies. Having lost Kieran Trippier following the expiration of his contract, there's much to like about the possibility of the Forest man arriving at St James' Park.

Tottenham are now ready to make an offer to sign a new winger in the summer transfer window.

Signing a new winger looks set to be the next priority for Tottenham after what has already been an incredibly busy window.

Spurs have made six new additions so far since the market opened, strengthening between the sticks, in defence, and in midfield.

Their next priority could be to bring in reinforcements in the forward line, with a winger clearly one of their top priorities.

Tottenham undoubtedly needed new additions all over the pitch this summer after finishing 17th in the Premier League two seasons in a row.

The board are clearly willing to give De Zerbi a big transfer budget in order to help them head back in the right direction next season.

Tottenham plot winger bid

According to reports in Portugal, Tottenham are now ready to make a £35 million offer to sign Benfica winger Andreas Schjelderup in the summer transfer window.

Benfica are hoping to tie him down to a new contract, but the Norwegian international wants to leave the club given the interest in him this summer.

Schjelderup, described as special, does have a release clause in its contract worth in the region of £87 million, but you'd imagine Spurs would be looking to pay no way near that figure.

Whether Benfica would be willing to accept an offer in the region of £35 million remains to be seen, but they certainly don't appear to want to lose him.

Tottenham also eye Savinho

Schjelderup isn't the only winger that Tottenham are showing an interest in during the summer transfer window, as they continue their big summer spending.

Tottenham are also keen on signing Man City star Savinho and have even reportedly agreed personal terms ahead of securing his signature.

Savinho certainly feels like the more ready-made signing for Tottenham, as someone who is likely to come straight into the starting 11.

Schjelderup is likely more of a project signing, considering his age, and a player for the future rather than the immediate present.

Either way, a winger does appear to be a major priority for Tottenham in the coming days and weeks.

Newcastle United are planning a £90m double deal to sign Tottenham Hotspur duo Lucas Bergvall and Djed Spence this summer, according to TEAMtalk.

The Magpies have had a busy summer window so far, bringing in Ewen Jaouen, Bazoumana Toure, and Seun Steur, while they have sold Anthony Gordon to Barcelona for £70m and Sandro Tonali to Spurs for £100m.

Eddie Howe is keen to bolster the squad further though, as they look to get back to the top end of the Premier League following a disappointing campaign, and the club are now pushing to seal a mega deal to solve issues in two problem positions.

Newcastle Eyeing £90m Double Deal

It was reported recently that Newcastle had tabled a bid worth £46m to sign midfield star Lucas Bergvall earlier in the window, but the north London club opted to reject the deal as they hold out for more money.

Newcastle are expected to return with a fresh offer, although they face stiff competition from Nottingham Forest for his signature, but they are also now targeting one of his teammates alongside him.

TEAMtalk report that after losing Kieran Trippier at the end of his contract this summer, Howe has identified Djed Spence as the ideal replacement to come in at full-back.

Spence has been relegated to understudy at Spurs, with Pedro Porro signing a new long-term deal at right-back, and both Destiny Udogie and Andy Robertson available at left-back for De Zerbi, which has led to speculation that he could be on the move.

Spurs have put a £40m asking price on his head, and Newcastle believe that £50m would be enough to secure a deal for Bergvall, giving them cause to believe they could seal a rare double deal.

De Zerbi is ready to sanction an exit for the England international this summer, while Bergvall is the one pushing for his exit.

Newcastle Could Seal Brilliant Double Deal

£90m may sound like a lot of money, and of course it is, but if you are able to sign two Premier League-proven stars who instantly improve your team and squad, then it's probably a no-brainer.

Bergvall is a super talented midfield player who can play in all the midfield roles, and Howe is a manager who will thrive at helping him to develop while improving the team. As for Spence, he has established himself as an excellent defender during the World Cup, and would fill the gap left by Trippier's exit perfectly.

In this crazy transfer market, a £90m output for two top international level stars who know the league well is probably a bargain, and Newcastle should move quickly to get it all done.

Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing up a surprise move to sign Celtic star Arne Engels this summer, according to Football Insider.

Spurs have been very busy in the transfer market so far, with Roberto De Zerbi adding Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes, and Sandro Tonali to his squad after they narrowly avoided relegation on the final day of the Premier League season.

But while the club are now prioritising moves to bring in forwards, the club are alert to potential market opportunities, which has led them in the direction of a move for a surprise star.

Tottenham Eyeing Celtic Star Engels

Engels, who has been described as 'powerful', was one of the top performers for the Glasgow side as they lifted the Scottish Premiership title on the final day of the season, thanks to a 1-0 win over Hearts.

The Glasgow side rejected a £25m bid for his services in January from Nottingham Forest, but are expecting more interest this summer and a deal is expected to happen, with the player looking for a new challenge.

According to Pete O'Rourke, Spurs are one of the clubs showing an interest in his services, despite spending £185m on two new midfield signings already.

"It's going to be hard for Celtic to keep hold of him this summer, despite rejecting an offer for him in January," he said.

"Obviously, they've got more time to plan ahead in this summer transfer window. I'm sure Engels himself would be interested in the move away if a move to the Premier League comes up.

"For Tottenham, again, their interest has come as a surprise maybe in some respects. They've bolstered their midfield already with Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes.

"So whether they see Engels joining that as well remains to be seen, but they are showing no signs of slowing down in the transfer market."

Tottenham Must Prioritise Forwards

While Tottenham have been busy in the transfer window already, there is still a big need in the forward departments this summer. Man City star Savinho has emerged as the top target, while other players have been linked too.

However, the club shouldn't shut their eyes and ears to potential market opportunities, and a move for Engels could allow them to further strengthen their midfield, especially with Lucas Bergvall's future up in the air.

But with a deal for Engels unlikely to be very cheap, the club must ensure that they are prioritising the right deals in this window if they want to be more competitive.

Tottenham Hotspur will hold fresh talks with captain Cristian Romero about his future after the World Cup final, Fabrizio Romano has revealed.

Spurs have had a busy summer window with six arrivals so far, as Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes, and Sandro Tonali have all arrived to bolster Roberto De Zerbi's squad following another 17th-placed finish in the Premier League.

But now the club are beginning to look at exits too to help balance the squad, and it's expected that Argentina international Romero will be one star who is on the move.

Tottenham and Romero to Hold Fresh Talks

Fabrizio Romano reported recently that it had been confirmed that the central defender will be leaving the north London club this summer, with Spurs already planning for his departure by signing Senesi and Van Hecke in this window.

Romero has been representing Argentina at the World Cup, with the 28-year-old forced off injured in the final as they were beaten 1-0 by Spain after extra-time. But with the tournament now over, Romano has revealed in his latest YouTube video that the player and club will hold new talks over his future in the coming weeks.

"Cuti Romero will leave Tottenham in the summer transfer window," he said.

"After this World Cup, it's going to be time for new contacts between Romero, his camp, and Tottenham to decide about the exit. The plan is for the exit of Cuti Romero.

"Inter are interested, Barcelona are interested in case they sell a defender. So if a defender leaves, Barcelona can think about Cuti Romero. So these two clubs are there.

"Let's see if more clubs join the race. But Cuti Romero is fully expected to leave Tottenham Hotspur."

Romero Has No Spurs Future

In an ideal world, Romero would be staying at Tottenham for the foreseeable future and would be able to put his disciplinary issues behind him to lead the club into the new era.

But in reality, he has already checked out of the club, and fans have already made peace with the fact that he will be on the move. Replacements have been signed and everyone is looking forward.

Romero's contributions in recent years will be remembered fondly, but the talks should not be for anything other than to help him move on, rather than try and convince him to stay, and in the coming weeks there will surely be movement on this situation.

Tottenham have agreed personal terms to sign a new winger in the summer transfer window, and he could be a huge upgrade on Mathys Tel.

Spurs have strengthened in a number of positions during the transfer window, bringing in a new goalkeeper alongside multiple defenders and midfielders.

Tottenham are yet to bring in reinforcements in the final third, whether that be a winger or a centre forward, and that looks set to be their next priority.

The North London club have already spent significantly, but if they want to turn from a side finishing 17th in the Premier League to European challengers, they might have to spend a little more.

Roberto De Zerbi will have wanted to have been backed in the summer market, and the board have certainly done that.

Tottenham agree terms for Tel upgrade

According to reports, Tottenham have already agreed personal terms to sign Manchester City winger Savinho in the summer transfer window.

Spurs are in the market for a new winger this summer, which is no surprise considering some of the injuries and inconsistencies of some of their current crop.

French forward Tel, for example, struggled to perform consistently for the North London club, and there's no doubt Savinho would be an upgrade on him.

Tel still has plenty of time on his side, but if Tottenham are looking for a quicker fix, then Savinho could be the right man.

Spurs could then potentially look to loan Tel out for the season, with Savinho ready to come in to make an immediate impact.

Savinho plays like Lamine Yamal

Savinho, described as 'elite', has struggled to be a guaranteed starter for Manchester City, particularly under Pep Guardiola when the Spanish manager was in charge.

That hasn't stopped the media from waxing lyrical about the Brazilian, with former Arsenal star turned Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson comparing him to Lamine Yamal.

“Savinho, oh my, what a star, he’s gonna be a superstar. He runs with the ball, but his decision-making is unbelievable.

“He reminds me a little bit of Lamine Yamal, they can dribble but their decision-making… they can run with it but they get their head up and make that right pass at the right time.”

It is certainly a big comparison for Merson to make, but an exciting one for Tottenham's supporters.

Tottenham have reportedly opened talks to make a signing that would be by far the best of the ENIC era.

It has been an incredibly busy summer transfer window for Spurs so far, which is no surprise after such a disappointing few years.

Tottenham have finished 17th in the Premier League two seasons on the bounce, but they are doing everything possible to avoid that happening again, securing six new additions so far.

Martin Dubravka, Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson, and Jan-Paul van Hecke have all made the move to Tottenham during the summer window, significantly bolstering Roberto De Zerbi's options.

Despite that, their biggest signing could still be on the way, with talks open to sign one of the best players in the world.

Tottenham open talks to re-sign star

According to reports, Tottenham are ready to bring Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane back to the club in a sensational move.

Spurs have held talks over a possible deal to secure the England international, and they are being kept informed about developments around his future.

Intermediaries are believed to be sounding out a possible next destination for Kane, but it remains to be seen when that could be, with Bayern Munich looking to tie him down to a new contract.

Kane, described as 'the best footballer in the world' by journalist Dom Smith, is still in his absolute prime despite his age, scoring 64 goals in 56 appearances for Bayern Munich last season.

If Tottenham could secure his signature, it would be the best signing of the ENIC era, despite him already playing for the club during that period.

Tottenham desperately need Kane back

Every club in world football could do with a player of Kane's calibre at their club, but a return to Tottenham would be a phenomenal move.

Tottenham would have absolutely zero doubts that Kane would return and immediately become their best player, especially given he's arguably improved since leaving the club.

It certainly does feel unlikely that Kane would return to Tottenham, although he may feel he has unfinished business in the Premier League.

Kane is just 47 goals behind Alan Shearer in the Premier League all-time rankings, so it could be of interest to him to break that record.

A major rebuild continues at Tottenham Hotspur and there is a need to offload players deemed surplus to requirements.

It's been a busy summer for Roberto De Zerbi and the Lilywhites thus far, having broken their transfer record to sign Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United for £100 million. The Italian has been joined in North London by Mateus Fernandes, who arrived from West Ham United for £85 million.

At least one new attacker is expected to be signed ahead of the new season, and that could mean one or two big-name exits. After nearly suffering relegation last season, De Zerbi will want to ensure he has a squad that are ready to return to European qualification contention.

Tottenham: Richarlison Wants Premier League Stay

One player linked to an exit is Richarlison, who's garnering interest from "multiple clubs." A report from TEAMtalk claims that the Brazilian attacker has emerged as a target for Serie A giants Juventus.

Richarlison managed a respectable 11 goals in 32 league outings last season but De Zerbi doesn't plan for him to be leading the line moving forward. His future has been in doubt amid talk of the Lilywhites moving for either Bournemouth's Eli Junior Kroupi or free agent Dusan Vlahovic.

Despite Juve's interest in the 29-year-old, he is reportedly keen on remaining in the Premier League after recently obtaining British citizenship. He has "embraced life in the United Kingdom completely" and therefore is building for a future in England.

The report claims that Richarlison remains an important member of De Zerbi's squad. He's expected to continue providing depth in attack unless the club swoop for a new striker.

Richarlison joined Spurs from Everton in the summer of 2022 for £60m and he has fared reasonably well. He helped his side win the Europa League last year and has come to the fore in crucial moments.

Richarlison Still Has Much to Offer

Tottenham's stance is that they are open to a sale if the price is right but won't part ways until a replacement is signed. That doesn't mean they will look to offload Dominic Solanke, as the English striker is reportedly expected to be retained.

Richarlison, who earns £90,000 per week, is a divisive player but offers versatility and much-needed depth in the attacking department. It appears he's prepared to settle for a backup role, and that might suit De Zerbi given his effectiveness from the bench.

Spurs have a pre-season to prepare for a campaign without European football, and that means all the focus is on finishing in the top four or five. Players such as the Brazilian can prove to be key throughout the course of a season, especially when injuries take hold.

Tottenham Hotspur are starting to decide the futures of several members of Roberto De Zerbi's squad amid a major rebuild.

Six new faces have arrived at the club, including Sandro Tonali for £100 million and Mateus Fernandes for £85 million. While the North London giants have splashed the cash to ensure there's no repeat of last season's relegation battle, they are weighing up potential departures.

There were only a few players who could hold their heads up high after the mess that occurred during the 2025-26 campaign. A 17th-placed finish has raised doubts over some high-profile names, including one enjoying somewhat of a breakout World Cup.

Tottenham Hold Talks With Inter Over Spence

Thomas Tuchel's decision to name Djed Spence in his England squad raised eyebrows, not least because he struggled to cement a regular starting berth in Tottenham's team. After a difficult start to the World Cup, he's been one of the Three Lions' standout performers.

That hasn't quashed talk of Spurs selling the 25-year-old and Inter Milan are keen on taking him to the San Siro. A report from La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Football Italia) claims that the Serie A giants are set to hold talks with the Premier League club over a potential deal.

The reigning Italian champions are keen to replace Denzel Dumfries following his move to Real Madrid. Spence is on their shortlist after they missed out on Marco Palestra, who joined Chelsea, and Anan Khalaili, whose move fell through after failing a medical.

Spence is said to have held preliminary talks with Inter through his agents and is open to joining the Nerazzurri. Spurs are believed to have previously valued him at around €35 million (£30m), but his World Cup displays could see this increase.

Spurs Should Consider Keeping Spence

It is a tad strange that Spurs are still open to selling Spence given his performances for England during the World Cup. He has grown into one of Tuchel's most important players and put in excellent displays against Argentina and France.

Spence's outing in a thrilling 6-4 win over the French in the third-place play-off was described as "fantastic." He's not quite replicated such showings at club level but he's still relatively young and could head into a new season full of confidence.

De Zerbi's stance stems from Andy Robertson's arrival as a free agent after leaving Liverpool. The Scot will compete with Destiny Udogie for a starting berth at left-back while Pedro Porro remains his starting right-back.
