Tottenham Ready to Sign 'Absolute Freak of a Number Nine' Next for De Zerbi - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham are showing interest in a Premier League striker this summer, according to TeamTalk, as focus shifts to potential signings up front.

The change in direction follows the Lilywhites bolstering their defence, with three signings already confirmed to help tighten up a leaky backline for next season.

The midfield is a problem area, with Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes viewed as ideal potential candidates to fill the void, and then there's the forward areas.

Tottenham are keen on wingers, with Cody Gakpo and Savinho emerging as options, but they may not be the only arrivals in the forward areas.

Strikers are being considered, and there's a World Cup ace on the club's radar.

Tottenham Linked With Brian Brobbey Transfer

As links continue to emerge over potential transfer options, TeamTalk reports that Sunderland and Netherlands striker Brian Brobbey is being monitored by Tottenham.

The report claims that Spurs have been tracking the 24-year-old before he made the move to the Black Cats, and retain an interest in him to this day.

The former Ajax star, who is 'an absolute freak of a number nine' according to one analyst on X, is attracting interest beyond North London as well, however, as Manchester United, Chelsea, and Aston Villa have all been credited with admiration for the striker.

Brobbey, who scored seven goals in 31 appearances last season, is under contract at Sunderland until 2029, and the club currently has no interest in facilitating a sale just one-year on from signing him.

There is no price set on the centre-forward, though the report does suggest that an offer could yet test their resolve in the market.

It remains to be seen whether any club will step forward, with his World Cup performance so far suggesting that he has plenty more to offer in the future.

Ronald Koeman handed Brobbey his first start in the tournament against Sweden, where he bagged two goals and ran the defence ragged with his relentless physical ability, and showed why he has been described as "excellent".

It showed exactly what Tottenham could have, and what the side are currently lacking in the forward areas.

Tottenham Need Striker Presence

Tottenham have lacked a lot of things in the past few seasons, but since the exit of Harry Kane, the lack of presence up front has been noticeable.

Dominic Solanke was signed as the replacement, but a mixture of injuries and just a general lack of impact means he is still trying to get his Spurs career off the ground.

Richarlison is inconsistent at best. He can put himself about, but rarely in a way that will hold up the ball and bring others into play like Roberto De Zerbi would want.

So, therefore, a move in the transfer market for someone who does all of that makes total sense. Brobbey has his flaws, and would certainly be a work in progress, but he has shown good glimpses in the past six months of what he can do.

Whether he'd be the perfect fit for what Tottenham would want right now remains to be seen. But he would certainly add something the team has been lacking.

'Superstar' Now Wants to Join Tottenham After Bigger Offer Than Man Utd

'Superstar' Now Wants to Join Tottenham After Bigger Offer Than Man Utd - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are trying to beat Manchester United to the signing of West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes, and they have received a huge boost in their pursuit, according to the Independent.

Tottenham fans would have been excited when Fabrizio Romano dropped the bombshell earlier this month that they were working on a deal to sign Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali, and that feeling would have only increased further after David Ornstein confirmed that Roberto De Zerbi also wants to sign Fernandes in a separate deal to the Italy international.

Man United have been viewed as the frontrunners to sign the 21-year-old for weeks now, having entered talks with the player and his agent over personal terms.

One report has claimed that the player has agreed to join after being happy with the financial offer, with the player said to be keen to link up with compatriot and idol Bruno Fernandes at Old Trafford as he looks to avoid playing Championship football next term.

However, Spurs are serious about landing the Portugal international, and they are willing to go to big lengths as club chiefs look to deliver a fourth signing of the summer for their Italian boss.

Tottenham Make Bigger Offer Than United for Fernandes

According to the Independent, Tottenham have now made headway in the battle with United to sign Fernandes.

Spurs are said to have held positive talks with West Ham over a potential deal, with De Zerbi being backed with a significant summer transfer budget.

The Hammers are demanding £85m for their 'superstar' player, and they want a significant portion of that fee paid upfront, with Tottenham already offering a higher overall package than the Red Devils.

De Zerbi is a huge fan of Fernandes and Spurs have also launched a salary offer higher than United's as they look to come out on top in this transfer battle.

Crucially, the report adds that the Portugal international is 'very keen' on a switch to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which would also allow him to carry on living in London.

United don't want to get involved in a bidding war and could walk away from a deal and look at alternative targets.

Romano: Tottenham Want to Sign Impressive World Cup Star

As well as transforming their central midfield options, Tottenham are also looking to make changes all across the frontline too.

Spurs remain in talks to sign Manchester City left-winger Savinho, but they are clearly looking at alternative targets to the Brazilian with progress slow on agreeing a deal with the Premier League runners-up.

One of those is Liverpool star Cody Gakpo, with Romano confirming that De Zerbi and Tottenham do have an interest in the Netherlands international.

The Dutchman had already been linked with a summer move away from Anfield even before they signed Victor Munoz, with the Spain international usually operating from the left flank.

It remains to be seen if that addition could spell the end for Gakpo at Anfield, but his performances for his country at the World Cup are only showcasing his ability, with two goals and an assist in the latest 5-1 win against Sweden.

Arsenal Make Shock Offer to Sign Brazilian Forward on Loan

Arsenal Make Shock Offer to Sign Brazilian Forward on Loan - GiveMeSport
Description

Arsenal have made a shock offer to sign Manchester City forward Savinho on loan, with their Premier League title rivals making their stance on a move clear.

Arsenal have had a quiet start to their summer transfer window, which isn't too surprising because the Gunners don't need to major work on their squad after a season where they won the Premier League and finished as runners-up to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

While some of their rivals like Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have already made signings, with three in the case of the latter, the Gunners are taking their time to ensure they land the right targets who will improve them as they look to retain their Premier League title and go one better in Europe's elite club competition next term.

Arsenal chiefs will be considering any position where they feel they can sign an upgrade, but their attack appears to be one area where there could be activity in the summer window.

With some doubts over the future of Gabriel Martinelli, the north Londoners have been looking at left-sided attacking options, with Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers emerging as a key target in recent weeks.

He isn't the only left-sided Premier League player on the radar though.

Arsenal Hold Talks With Man City Over Savinho Deal

According to RTI Esporte, in Savinho's homeland of Brazil, Arsenal have held talks with Manchester City over a potential move for Savinho.

The Gunners are said to have expressed an interest in signing the 22-year-old on a loan deal from the Etihad, but the proposal was instantly rejected by City, who will only consider permanent offers to let the forward leave.

Tottenham appear to be the club best placed to prise the 'extraordinary' Brazilian away from City, having shown interest in buying him last summer.

The report claims that Spurs have opened initial talks with City and the player's representatives over a move, with the player also attracting interest from Clube Atletico Mineiro in his home nation.

RTI Esporte claim that City would be willing to sell for around €50m (£43m) with Arsenal and Tottenham needing to decide what they're going to do next.

Arsenal Making Progress on Morgan Rogers Deal

While negotiations over a move for Savinho have fallen flat, according to RTI Esporte, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed that Arsenal are making progress over a move to sign Aston Villa and England star Morgan Rogers.

The Gunners want to add a starting left-winger and Rogers fits the bill, with the Englishman having the added bonus of being able to operate in the No.10 role too.

The north Londoners have now made the 23-year-old their top transfer target and club chiefs are expected to submit an offer to Villa for his signature soon.

While he has firm interest from Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, Rogers is said to be keen to seal a move to the Premier League champions, with Villa reluctant sellers if their asking price is matched.

That number is around £100m, according to GMS sources, with Arsenal set to begin formal talks with Villa imminently.

Spurs Have Already Sealed £8.5m Transfer Better Than Fernandes

Spurs Have Already Sealed £8.5m Transfer Better Than Fernandes - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham Hotspur's owners are putting their money where their mouths are and backing new head coach Roberto De Zerbi in the summer transfer market.

Spurs have finished 17th in the Premier League in back-to-back seasons, failing to live up to the 'big six' billing. They only survived in the top flight on the final day of last season, beating Everton 1-0 to stave off relegation to the Championship and condemn fierce rivals West Ham United to the second tier instead.

De Zerbi rescued the club in the final two months of the campaign, saving them from what looked like a perilous position.

Now the plan is clear - for a season like that to never happen again.

Spurs owners are following through with their vow to invest in the squad

The Lewis Family, who own the club, made a statement to the fans after the final game of the season, saying: "We take responsibility for rebuilding Spurs. Our ambition is to recapture the spirit of the club and bring back the excitement, the fearlessness and the bold football we have always felt defined us. That means football comes first. The board and executive team have laid out their plans to meet this ambition.

"This will require investment - in our teams, the academy, our backroom functions and more - and we are fully committed to this. We are not selling the club. We are all in. We are investing in it. You will see more of this in the coming months."

That vow has already bore fruit with three defensive signings arriving at the club early in the transfer window. Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Jan Paul van Hecke have already joined the De Zerbi revolution in N17 and more signings are set to follow.

After addressing the defence - Spurs have conceded 246 goals in the last four Premier League seasons combined - the Italian has turned his attention to the midfield department.

They have seen one bid of around £75million rejected by Newcastle for Sandro Tonali, while there are talks over bringing Mateus Fernandes to the club from West Ham. Spurs face a battle with Manchester City for Tonali and Manchester United for Fernandes, with reports suggesting it is not one or the other, but that the Lilywhites would be keen to add both to their ranks.

But with a new plan to bring in big-money signings and change to a more 'win now' approach, there are sure to be some painful decisions to be made with current members of the squad.

Two young players are ready to leave Tottenham

And that is already being seen, with talk of two talented youngsters wanting to leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in search of more game-time elsewhere. Nineteen-year-old defender Luka Vuskovic has been the subject of two bids from Brighton & Hove Albion, having impressed on loan with Hamburg in the Bundesliga last season. He is a highly-rated centre-back reportedly keen to leave having never made an appearance for the Lilywhites.

There is a feeling that Vuskovic, who started Croatia's World Cup opener against England, could go on to become a £100million player if nurtured the right way.

And then there's Lucas Bergvall, the 20-year-old Swede whom Spurs beat off competition from Barcelona to sign in 2024 for just £8.5million.

Bergvall got perhaps more game time than he would have expected in the 2024/25 season due to a wealth of injuries to first-team stars, but did not look out of place at all, becoming a firm fans' favourite in Ange Postecoglou's second season and winning all three of the club's end of season awards.

Three different managers and Spurs battling relegation stunted his opportunities in 2025/26 and with big-money signings being touted and having only played 113 minutes under De Zerbi in the final seven games of the season have led to the 20-year-old seeking pastures new too.

As Mauricio Pochettino alluded to in 2019, before he was sacked, a painful rebuild was required and seven years later it looks like that is finally happening and supporters may have to come to terms with some decisions that, on the face of it, look very strange and disappointing.

Bergvall would be a painful loss at Spurs

Bergvall falls into that category. Signing Tonali, a ready-made, 26-year-old midfielder makes a lot of sense. Signing Fernandes, while letting Bergvall go, however, does not.

The Hammers star has two years' experience in the Premier League - like Bergvall - and is aged just 21, a year older than the Swede.

Fernandes also has two relegations to his name, having gone down with Southampton before making the move to the London Stadium last summer and then suffering the same fate.

Now that is not all his fault, of course, but does Fernandes, offer anything better than Bergvall, given they both play in the same position and both prefer to be an 8 rather than a 6?

True, we've probably seen more of what Fernandes is capable of, but Bergvall being buffeted around the pitch, playing as a 6 a 10 and even wide does him a disservice. We really need to see what he can do in his favoured position on a regular basis before just discarding him.

And then there's the price tag. West Ham want around £80million to sanction a deal for Fernandes. Spending that kind of money on Tonali again makes complete sense, but doing it twice, for a player who may or may not be better than what you already have, who cost just £8.5million is confusing.

Ask any Spurs fan and they will tell you they have been waiting a long time for the club to truly invest and embrace a win now approach rather than being in transition and 'building for the future'. Bergvall may well be for the future, but he has already shown he is for the here and now too and is probably just as good, if not better, than an £80million Fernandes and that is why his exit will really hurt.

Tonali Will Love Him: Tottenham 'Very Close' to Agreement to Sign 'Elite' Star

Tonali Will Love Him: Tottenham 'Very Close' to Agreement to Sign 'Elite' Star - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham Hotspur mean business in this summer transfer window, and they clearly have no intention of finding themselves near the relegation zone in the Premier League again anytime soon.

Tottenham have already completed the signings of three players ahead of the Roberto De Zerbi revolution, including a Champions League and Premier League winner in Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Jan Paul van Hecke.

It has been suggested that they want to complete seven summer signings, with a midfielder and three attackers to follow, although Spurs are also being linked with a second central midfielder and goalkeepers with Guglielmo Vicario expected to leave.

The north Londoners have been working hard on a deal to sign De Zerbi's top target Sandro Tonali, having already had a £75m bid rejected by Newcastle United for the Italy international.

The 26-year-old is said to be keen on a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to link up with Italian compatriot De Zerbi, as Spurs continue to show huge ambition in the market.

Tonali isn't the only midfielder De Zerbi has on his wishlist however, with the 47-year-old also wanting to sign West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes on top of the Italian, following the Irons' relegation to the Championship.

Tottenham 'Very Close' to Mateus Fernandes Agreement

Italian journalist Matteo Moretto reported on Saturday that Tottenham are now 'very close' to reaching an agreement on personal terms with Fernandes, as they look to try and beat Premier League rivals Manchester United to his signature.

United had looked to be in clear pole position to sign the Portugal international, who would like to link up with Portuguese teammate Bruno Fernandes at Old Trafford, but Spurs appear to have made an attractive offer to him as well, which would allow him to remain in London.

The Red Devils can also offer the 'elite' 21-year-old star Champions League football next term while Spurs have no European football to offer at all.

Nevertheless, Fernandes seems ready to join Tottenham if they can agree a fee with West Ham, as he looks to avoid playing in England's second tier.

Tonali Will Love Fernandes

If Tottenham can pull off an audacious double swoop for Tonali and Fernandes, like De Zerbi wants them to, they would arguably have one of the best central midfield partnerships in the Premier League.

Tonali is a physically imposing midfielder with impressive strength and stamina, while he has also shown his ability to dicate matches and make an impact in the final third at St James' Park too.

Fernandes could prove to be the perfect player to complement him in the Tottenham engine room, given the Portuguese's own versatility.

The 21-year-old has proven he can play as a '6', '8' and a '10' during his spells with West Ham and Southampton, and that adaptability will allow Tonali to not only sit deep, but also get involved in more attacking areas too because he knows he can rely on him for tackling success.

When Tonali finds Fernandes in possession, he knows that youngster will use the ball well too after what we've seen from him at St Mary's and the London Stadium.

Better Than Tonali and Fernandes: Tottenham Plot Shock Bid to Sign 'World-Class' Star

Better Than Tonali and Fernandes: Tottenham Plot Shock Bid to Sign 'World-Class' Star - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are shocking everyone with their business and ambition in the summer transfer window, as they line up another big-name signing.

Tottenham have already completed a trio of deals for manager Roberto De Zerbi after registering successive 17th-place finishes in the Premier League, with Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi arriving on free transfers to boost a leaky backline, and Jan Paul van Hecke joining to do the same in a deal worth £52m.

De Zerbi may well be happy with his defence now, especially after Pedro Porro signed a new long-term deal and with Micky van de Ven currently set to stay, although it remains to be seen what happens over the futures of Cristian Romero and Luka Vuskovic, who have both been linked with summer exits.

Attentions have turned to strengthening the midfield and attack now, with Spurs holding talks over deals to sign Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali, and West Ham United star Mateus Fernandes.

De Zerbi is said to want both players to boost his central midfield next season, in what would be a huge double swoop given the duo are said to be rated around at least £185m combined by their respective clubs.

Spurs are also looking to strengthen right across the frontline too, including on the wings.

De Zerbi Pushing Tottenham to Sign Marcus Rashford

According to the i Paper, Tottenham are now plotting a shock move to sign Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford this summer.

The free-spending Spurs are described as being determined to complete their summer business early, as they look to hit the ground quickly in pre-season and next campaign under De Zerbi.

The Italian is said to be a big fan of Rashford, and he is pushing the Tottenham hierarchy to agree some form of deal to bring the England international to London.

The north London outfit are said to be unwilling to meet the attacker's £40m release clause, they are exploring a lower offer for the 'world-class' 28-year-old.

One issue for Tottenham is that Rashford would currently prefer to join another club abroad following his loan spell with Barcelona, or return to Old Trafford to fight for his place.

Rashford is Better Than Tonali and Fernandes

While Tonali and Fernandes would clearly be brilliant signings for Tottenham, especially given how Spurs have fared over the course of the last two seasons in the Premier League, Rashford is another level altogether.

He has performed consistently for many years at the top level for United, England and now Barcelona, with his 2025-26 campaign particularly impressive.

The England international ended the season with 14 goals and 14 assists in 49 appearances on loan at the Camp Nou, with some eyebrows raised when the La Liga giants decided not to take up the buy option and sign his Three Lions teammate Anthony Gordon instead.

Rashford would be a huge upgrade in Tottenham's attack, and he has shown time and time again that he can produce magic out of nothing.

His mentality may have come under scrutiny at times during the latter years of his career at United, but last season showed the quality he has when he is happy and his mind is right.

Roberto De Zerbi Wants Another Former Star to Sign for Tottenham

Roberto De Zerbi Wants Another Former Star to Sign for Tottenham - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham continue to push on in the transfer market, as The Athletic reports that another possible reunion could be on the cards for manager Roberto De Zerbi and a former player of his.

The head coach has already reunited with Jan Paul van Hecke, after Spurs agreed a £52 million fee to land the defender from Brighton this summer.

The Netherlands international joins the likes of Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson as additions to the backline, with the Lilywhites now well-equipped at the back for next season.

Attention turns elsewhere in the market, as the club push on for deals to sign Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes in the midfield, while interest is there for Savinho and Cody Gakpo.

However, there is also focus being placed on the goalkeeping department, where further changes are expected at Tottenham.

Tottenham Want Jason Steele Transfer

As Tottenham prepare for a shuffle in the goalkeeping ranks, The Athletic reports that the club are interested in Brighton shot-stopper Jason Steele.

The 35-year-old has one-year remaining on his contract at the Amex Stadium, and has been playing as the second-choice option to Bart Verbruggen.

The report claims that Steele is a candidate on a shortlist of potential options to play as a back-up goalkeeper for the coming season, having been outlined as a "good option" for the club moving forward.

During his time at Brighton, De Zerbi made use of the experienced star plenty, handing him 43 appearances across two separate campaigns.

In that time, the glovesman kept 11 clean sheets for the Italian head coach across all competitions, and was widely praised for his ability with the ball at his feet.

Given the fact that Tottenham are facing the possibility of losing Guglielmo Vicario this summer, a move for Steele would help reinforce the options in goal.

That would also provide a mentor for Antonin Kinsky, who could have a chance to stake a claim as the number-one choice between the sticks next season.

What De Zerbi Has Said About Steele

Steele has earned plenty of plaudits during his time at Brighton, which included some praise from his former manager, De Zerbi, back in late 2023.

"He’s very important on the pitch and off the pitch," said De Zerbi on Steele's influence.

"I think he deserved a new contract because he’s playing very well. Last season [he] was one of the secrets to reach the target and this season he is playing very well.

"We are playing well, Jason is playing well. I think he knows very well my idea. Verbruggen is not the same level but is very important for us now and the future. We are Brighton and we have to improve our young players. We have to be more focused in some situations."

De Zerbi could now recreate that dynamic with the reunion for Steele, while the club tries to progress with Kinsky as the player for the future.

It remains to be seen whether a deal will get over the line, but it could prove to be a shrewd bit of business from Spurs.

Romano: Aston Villa Open Talks to Sign Tottenham Flop in Surprise Deal - GiveMeSport
Description

Aston Villa have opened talks to sign Tottenham Hotspur flop Emerson Royal in a surprise summer transfer, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Aston Villa have been quiet in the summer transfer window so far despite qualifying for the Champions League, but now it appears as though they are starting to make moves in the market in terms of incomings to help Unai Emery next season.

The major rumours out of Villa Park so far this summer have been regarding outgoings, with Emiliano Martinez being heavily linked with a move to Serie A to join Juventus.

The other main story surrounding Villa has been England star Morgan Rogers, who has been a target for big Premier League clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United.

The player himself is said to be keen on a switch to join the Gunners who, of course, have just won the Premier League title, with Romano claiming that the north Londoners are in advanced talks on the player's side.

Villa may be waiting until after the June 30 PSR deadline before making any major moves, but Royal is one player seemingly high on their list.

Romano: Aston Villa in Talks to Sign Emerson Royal

According to Romano, posting on X on Tuesday evening, Aston Villa are in ongoing talks with Brazilian side Flamengo over a deal to bring Emerson Royal back to the Premier League.

Unai Emery is said to see the 27-year-old star as the perfect back-up and competition for Matty Cash in the right-back position, as the club look to mount a strong push in both the Premier League and Champions League next term.

Emerson Royal may have made more than 100 appearances in three seasons for Tottenham, but he was never a player who convinced people of his abilities, especially defensively given his status as a full-back.

He joined AC Milan in 2024, but lasted just one season before making the move back to his homeland with Flamengo.

Aston Villa Line Up Elite Rogers Replacement

Rogers would clearly be a huge loss for Aston Villa, but the latest reports on Tuesday are that they could target West Ham United captain Jarrod Bowen to replace the Englishman at Villa Park.

Signing the England international would be genius too, given how much he has stood out in a disappointing Hammers side in recent seasons.

Bowen is a leader, shown by his skipper status, but he also delivers when his team needs him the most.

Nine goals and 11 assists in 38 Premier League matches last term is testament to that, although he was unable to help keep the Irons in the top flight.

Getting him out of the London Stadium won't be easy though, with West Ham seemingly looking to balance the books with the sales of Mateus Fernandes and Crysencio Summerville.

Tottenham have opened talks to sign yet another midfielder alongside West Ham star Mateus Fernandes and Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali in the summer transfer window.

After solving their defensive problems by bringing in Jan-Paul Van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, and Andy Robertson, Spurs are now focusing on bringing in new midfielders.

Tottenham have held talks to sign Newcastle midfielder Tonali, with the Italian star agreeing personal terms as he wants to make the move to North London.

Reports have also suggested that Tottenham are very close to agreeing personal terms with Fernandes, hinting that he is keen on joining Spurs.

Roberto De Zerbi's side clearly want to add further bodies in the middle of the park, and they are currently linked with a host of different midfielders.

Tottenham Open Talks for Another Midfielder

According to a report from an Italian outlet, Corriere della Sera (via TEAMtalk), Tottenham have now opened talks to sign Roma midfielder Manu Kone and are assessing a potential £40m move in the summer transfer window.

Kone is believed to be keeping his options open over his next move, but he is attracted by the prospect of joining Tottenham.

The French midfielder would be better value than the likes of Tonali and Fernandes, who could cost £100m and £80m respectively.

Kone, who has been described as monstrous, is currently at the World Cup with France. He started in the middle of the park against Iraq last time out.

The tournament could see further interest in the player develop if he enjoys an impressive World Cup.

Midfield Signings Could See Players Leave

With Tottenham targeting a host of different midfielders in the summer transfer window, this could lead to some of their current options heading through the exit door.

According to reliable reporter David Ornstein, young midfielder Lucas Bergvall has already informed Tottenham that he wants to leave the club in search of a new opportunity.

With Spurs targeting midfield reinforcements, the Swedish midfielder could find it difficult to break into the starting eleven on a regular basis.

It's unclear whether Spurs will sanction an exit, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see their stance soften if they get deals over the line for some of the midfielders linked.

Tottenham are making significant progress in an effort to hijack Manchester United's move to sign West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes this summer.

Spurs certainly aren't messing around in the window as they look to build a squad capable of climbing back up towards the top half of the Premier League table.

They are likely to face competition from United for a host of signings, despite the Manchester club competing in the Champions League next season.

Tottenham are showing plenty of ambition in the market, targeting players who are attracting interest from clubs in Europe.

Fernandes is a player attracting plenty of interest in the summer transfer window after West Ham were relegated to the Championship.

Tottenham Make Man Utd Hijack Progress

According to a Tottenham source on X, Spurs are making significant progress on a move to sign West Ham United midfielder Fernandes, looking to hijack Manchester United's efforts to secure his signature.

Spurs are adamant to secure their priority target ahead of United, and there are expected to be no issues on personal terms.

Reports have claimed that Manchester United are big favourites to sign Fernandes in the summer transfer window, but it appears Tottenham are now making a huge play to bring him to North London.

The Red Devils will have been wary of Spurs making a move with their interest well known, and it's clear to see that they aren't messing around this summer.

Tottenham have already signed Jan-Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson, but it appears they're hoping to get multiple further deals over the line.

Tottenham an Attractive Prospect Under De Zerbi

Although Spurs have massively struggled over the last couple of seasons, finishing 17th in the Premier League twice in a row, there's no doubt their ambition in the current market will be an attraction to many players.

Tottenham do appear to be headed back in the right direction under Roberto De Zerbi, who managed to save them from relegation last season.

The signings they've already made are going to significantly improve their squad, while they still appear to be working on multiple deals alongside that.

Fernandes certainly has a tough decision to make, and it will be interesting to see which club he chooses this summer.
