Tottenham are ready to sell another star alongside Cristian Romero after he has demanded an exit from the club.

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano recently confirmed that Argentine defender Romero will leave Tottenham during the summer transfer window.

Spurs have already brought in two central defenders this summer, Marcos Senesi and Jan-Paul van Hecke, and talks are now under way for Romero to depart.

Barcelona are believed to be one of the sides interested in signing Romero this summer, and all parties are now working towards reaching an agreement for him to depart.

Romero might be looking for a move back to a side competing in Europe after Tottenham finished in 17th place in the Premier League last season.

Tottenham ready to make U-turn

According to a report from Football Insider, Tottenham have made a U-turn on the future of Swedish midfielder Lucas Bergvall in the summer transfer window.

Spurs' initial stance was that the young midfielder wasn't for sale under any circumstances, but after he demanded to leave the club, they have now changed their mind.

Nottingham Forest submitted a bid to secure his signature earlier in the week, but a fresh offer arrived from Newcastle United.

According to David Ornstein, Newcastle made a bid in the region of £46 million, which was initially rejected by Tottenham.

Bergvall, described as fearless, is attracting interest from a host of clubs in the summer. It wouldn't be a surprise if Tottenham accepted an offer in the region of £50 million.

Tottenham will need to sell players

After spending significantly to bring in players such as Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali in the summer transfer window, Tottenham will have to offload some of their current squad.

There's no reason to believe Tottenham are struggling financially, but the nature of modern financial regulations means Spurs will have to cash in.

Offloading a midfielder is likely to be one of their priorities after Tonali and Fernandes arrive through the door.

With Bergvall attracting interest for a significant price, it seems natural that he's one who is likely to head through the exit door.

Tottenham are now showing interest in a World Cup winger as they turn their attention to strengthening at the top end of the pitch. Spurs have spent much of the summer strengthening the defence and midfield, with a number of top options snapped up, including Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and Jan Paul van Hecke.

Robert De Zerbi will be delighted with the new options he has, with his squad having clearly been upgraded, but there is more work still to do. Some players will likely leave, including Cristian Romero and Guglielmo Vicario, but there will also be more new signings, with a new winger appearing to be the main priority.

Tottenham now considering World Cup winger Schjelderup

Tottenham are now said to be considering a deal to sign Norway winger Andreas Schjelderup, who impressed at the World Cup despite having been a toss-up in terms of his selection for the Norway World Cup squad. The winger notably scored against England in the quarter-final.

Shjelderup landed a move to Benfica back in 2023 and went on to land a starting role in 2024 after a loan spell back at his old club in Norway. The winger scored seven and assisted six in 28 league appearances last season, playing an important role in José Mourinho's Benfica, who didn't lose all season in the league, though they fell short of the league title.

Tottenham are now said to be interested in the 22-year-old, with journalist Pete O'Rourke reporting on the Transfer Insider podcast: "Schjelderup’s World Cup performances have caught the eye of some of the biggest clubs across Europe, including multiple Premier League clubs.

"I know Tottenham have shown an interest and are in the market for a new left-sided winger or forward, so Schjelderup definitely ticks a lot of boxes for them in that respect, as that is where he plays for Norway and Benfica. He had a very good World Cup."

Mourinho convinced by Schjelderup

Early in Mourinho's Benfica spell, he was critical of Schjelderup, who was struggling to live up to the intensity. He said: "Schjelderup is Schjelderup - he struggles for 90 minutes, he struggles with intensity and the sacrifice of transitions,"

Towards the end of this season, Mourinho sang a very different tune. He said: "Look, I spoke to him yesterday or the day before and said that he had a lot of reasons to be very proud of himself.

"Comparing the Schjelderup of months ago with the Schjelderup of today is impossible. There's no point of comparison, the only thing that's the same is that boyish face... He's still unshaven, his face is the same, that baby face is the same. Neither from a physical point of view, nor from a tactical point of view, nor from a mental point of view, there's nothing comparable. I'd say that this kid, if he continues to develop in this way, will surely be a real talent and I'd say a great, great, great talent."

Tottenham Hotspur have agreed personal terms with a star who plays like Lamine Yamal as they close in on another statement summer signing.

Tottenham have stunned their Premier League rivals with the business they have done so far this summer, breaking their transfer record twice to beat some of their rivals to the signatures of the likes of Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali in two club-record deals.

The duo have transformed Spurs' midfield, and it has been the same story in defence, where Andy Roberston, Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke and Martin Dubravka have all arrived.

Now, the north London outfit want to make changes to their attack too, with a new left-winger the transfer priority as well as a new centre-forward, with doubts remaining over the future of Richarlison at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham were said to have seen Morgan Rogers as their 'dream' target, although the 23-year-old's most likely destination was seen as Arsenal to link up with the Premier League champions.

However, Chelsea produced a shock hijack on Saturday as they agreed a £117m deal to prise the England international away from Aston Villa, with Spurs focusing on other targets.

Tottenham Agree Personal Terms With Savinho

Tottenham have recently decided that Manchester City winger Savinho is the target they really want to land, and they are stepping up their efforts to bring him to the capital.

One journalist suggested earlier this week that Spurs 'will sign' the Brazil international in a deal worth around £65m, with one insider claiming that the north Londoners have reached a verbal agreement with City over a deal.

The player is keen on the move and personal terms are no issue and are already in place, according to TEAMtalk, 12 months after Tottenham tried to bring the 22-year-old to the club when Thomas Frank was manager.

It appears as though a deal is getting closer for Savinho to join Tottenham, and it would be a promising signing given Pep Guardiola has often praised him, while Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson claimed he reminded him of Spain and Barcelona star Lamine Yamal in terms of style of play.

Tottenham Joined by Arsenal in Junior Kroupi Race

Chelsea's hijack of Arsenal's move for Morgan Rogers is likely to have big repercussions for the summer transfer window, and potentially for Tottenham.

It has been reported that Spurs will target a move for Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi even if they complete a move to sign Savinho, as they look to flex their financial muscle again this summer.

However, Arsenal will look at other targets now they won't be signing Rogers, and GIVEMESPORT senior correspondent Ben Jacobs claims on X that one of those players is Junior Kroupi, who looks to have a huge future in the game.

The 20-year-old is on the radar of every big European club after a stunning breakthrough season in the Premier League, where he scored 13 league goals to help the Cherries qualify for Europe for the first time in their history.

Bournemouth don't want to sell and his price tag will be high, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham or Arsenal are able to reach an offer that will tempt the south coast outfit to perform a U-turn on their stance.

Tottenham Hotspur have been extremely active in the summer transfer window already, with six new players arriving in north London to revolutionise Roberto De Zerbi's squad.

The Italian head coach has bolstered his goalkeeping options with the free transfer of Martin Dubravka, the defence with Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson and the midfield with Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes.

And more are set to follow, with De Zerbi now turning his attentions to the forward line, with the likes of Savinho, Rafael Leao and Eli Kroupi Junior all linked with move to N17.

Seven players have already departed Tottenham

However, a major overhaul of the playing squad requires departures too and Yves Bissouma, Alejo Veliz, Alfie Devine, Radu Dragusin, Luka Vuskovic, Joao Palhinha (end of loan) and Randal Kolo Muani (end of loan) have all gone from last season's squad.

Vuskovic was the big sale from those, with Brighton agreeing a £46million deal for the teenage defender who had never played a game for Tottenham, but had huge potential to be a star.

Now, Tottenham look set to say goodbye to another highly-rated young player in Lucas Bergvall.

The Swede was signed for just £8.5million from Djurgardens two years ago and enjoyed a clean sweep of the club's player of the season awards in his first season in England in 2024/25, shining in a stuttering Spurs side.

Tottenham finished 17th in the Premier League, but lifted the UEFA Europa League trophy, with Bergvall showing more senior stars how it's done in a difficult campaign.

With three different managers at the helm during 2025/26, Bergvall, previously described as "unstoppable" by former Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, struggled to tie down a regular place in the starting lineup and is now looking to move on in search of more game time, particularly after seeing the club splash out £185million on two players in his position in Tonali and Fernandes.

Newcastle enter race to sign Lucas Bergvall

Speaking on his YouTube channel, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano delivered an update on Bergvall's future. Nottingham Forest have already seen a £38million bid rejected, while Newcastle have now entered the race and also had a £46million offer turned down.

Romano said: "Lucas Bergvall from Tottenham is expected to leave the club this summer. Bergvall has told Tottenham he wants to play on a regular basis, he's ready to take a different step and leaving Tottenham this summer is something he has to do, according to the player, because he wants to play and at Tottenham, the feeling of the boy is that after signing Mateus Fernandes, Sandro Tonali and they're not going to play European football, he does not want to spend the season on the bench or playing ten minutes every two weeks.

"So for Bergvall, there's been a bid from Nottingham Forest, talks with Newcastle and both clubs are working for Lucas Bergvall, both clubs are in contact.

"There is a conversation ongoing with both clubs, the situation with Lucas Bergvall is one to watch."

Tottenham Hotspur have already completed major transfer coups this summer in snapping up Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali, but the club's 'dream' target has proven too ambitious, after Chelsea agreed a deal.

A dismal 17th-place finish for Spurs last time out has not hampered progress in the window, beating European rivals to the signings of Fernandes and Tonali, as well as former Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke.

Roberto De Zerbi has bolstered at the back and in the centre of the park, but is yet to add firepower. The Italian is known to be a big fan of Dominic Solanke but is also in the market for added creativity with one Premier League star said to be a very attractive option to the new Spurs boss.

Tottenham Miss Out on 'Dream' Transfer Target

Speaking on the Last Word On Spurs podcast, the Times journalist Tom Allnutt claimed that Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers has been outlined as the dream purchase before the summer window slams shut.

On Thursday, he said: “Morgan Rogers is a name that keeps coming up for Tottenham. He would be a dream signing, but there are other clubs interested. It would be very difficult to do, but maybe one to watch.”

Rogers had been linked with several high-profile Premier League sides this summer, with Arsenal ready to make an opening offer for the midfielder, as revealed by GIVEMESPORT this week, despite Aston Villa being adamant that the 23-year-old is not for sale.

Now, Chelsea have hijacked a potential Arsenal move for the 23-year-old after agreeing a £117m deal with Aston Villa for the attacker.

The Villans star will jet back to the UK following the bronze match on Saturday evening and is set to undergo a medical on Monday.

Tottenham Focusing on Junior Kroupi and Savinho

Now Rogers is confirmed to be on his way to Chelsea, Tottenham can concentrate on securing two of their other top attacking targets in this window.

Spurs are said to have reached a verbal agreement with Manchester City to sign winger Savinho, 12 months after they first attempted to bring him to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the player keen on the move.

Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on their seventh summer signing of the transfer window after Roberto De Zerbi gave his green light to the deal, according to reports.

Spurs have already brought in Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes, and Sandro Tonali this summer, as they look to rebuild their squad following their second consecutive 17th-placed finish in the Premier League.

All attention has now turned towards bringing in forward additions to help add more goals, and De Zerbi has made his decision on which player the club should be going all out for to do just that.

De Zerbi Green Lights Savinho Deal

According to TEAMtalk, Spurs are closing in on an agreement with Man City to sign forward Savinho.

The Brazilian, who has been described as 'outrageous', has found regular first-team football hard to come by at the Etihad Stadium and is now set to depart, less than 12 months after signing a new long-term contract at the club.

City are open to his exit after just one goal last season, and Spurs are ready to revisit their interest from last summer, where they had a £60m bid rejected. Now, they are closing in on an agreement for a similar price, with the winger already committing to joining them should a deal be struck.

De Zerbi had been given a host of forward options to choose from, with Tottenham ready to advance on a deal for any of them. And the Italian has now made his decision and picked the 22-year-old ahead of the likes of AC Milan star Rafael Leao as the next piece of his jigsaw.

De Zerbi has been heavily involved in the decision to prioritise a move for Savinho, with his age, profile, availability, and price all factors that have been considered.

Savinho Move Now Inevitable

Savinho's Man City career started brightly, but he quickly found himself battling with some established international stars for game time, and it hasn't worked out for him.

Tottenham are able to offer him a much clearer pathway to regular first-team football, and in De Zerbi they have a manager who strongly believes he can be the difference maker in their squad, rather than just another option.

All parties are working hard towards getting a deal over the line now, and it seems a matter of when, not if, this deal will be completed, in a major boost to the north London side.

Tottenham Hotspur chiefs have reached a verbal agreement with a club to finalise their seventh summer signing.

Tottenham and ENIC have gone into overdrive with the summer transfer business as they look to avoid being involved in a Premier League relegation battle for a third successive season.

That is already looking like an unlikely possibility with Roberto De Zerbi at the helm for a full season and with the quality of signings they have already made this summer, with Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke, Martin Dubravka, Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali all joining - the latter two in club-record transfers.

With the defence and midfield transformed from last season, attention now turns to getting players out the door and strengthening De Zerbi's attack as Spurs look to return to the top six next term.

Luka Vuskovic has already left the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a big-money deal to Brighton and Hove Albion, and he is unlikely to be the last with the likes of Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Lucas Bergvall and Richarlison among those heavily linked with an exit away from the club.

Tottenham could also be closing in on their next summer addition of a window they appear to be winning right now.

Tottenham Reach Verbal Agreement With Man City to Sign Savinho

Tottenham's next transfer priority has been to land a new left-winger, with Manchester City star Savinho emerging as their number one target for the position.

Spurs wanted to sign the Brazil international 12 months ago but were unable to find an agreement with City over a deal, but now it appears as though they have reached a breakthrough.

According to a reliable Tottenham source on X, the north Londoners have now reached a verbal agreement with City to sign the 22-year-old.

A separate report has claimed that a deal will be finalised for £65m, as Spurs look to get another big summer deal over the line.

Tottenham Still Targeting Eli Junior Kroupi

There may have been some concerns that once Tottenham decided that Savinho was their top left-wing target, that it reduced their chances of moving for Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi too.

However, it is claimed that even if Spurs do secure a deal for Savinho, they will still target a move for the highly-rated French attacker too, following an outstanding breakthrough campaign in the Premier League.

Tottenham are said to be hoping that an offer worth £85m will be enough to tempt the Cherries to sell their prized asset, with club chiefs confident that he wants to make the move to north London.

Junior Kroupi shot to prominence after scoring 13 goals in 33 Premier League matches last term as a teenager, before turning 20 years of age during the close season.

Newcastle United have tabled a mega-money bid to sign Tottenham Hotspur star Lucas Bergvall, according to David Ornstein.

The Magpies are looking to rebuild their squad after a disappointing campaign in 2025/26 which saw them finish in the bottom half of the Premier League and fail to qualify for Europe. That has seen them forced to sell Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon, earning £170m combined from Tottenham and Barcelona respectively.

Now the club are pushing to bring in replacements to ensure they can remain competitive, having already brought in Ewen Jaouen, Bazoumana Toure, and Seun Steur during the summer transfer window, and the club have made a major bid for a top target.

Newcastle Table Bid for Bergvall

Bergvall, who has been described as 'unstoppable', has emerged as a major target for the Magpies, and according to The Athletic, they have tabled a £46m bid.

The Sweden international has made it clear that he wants to leave Spurs this summer as he goes in search of more regular first-team football and a new challenge. Nottingham Forest have seen a bid rejected, with Spurs previously stating that they don't want to sell the 20-year-old.

However, it's believed that their recent acquisitions in the transfer market means that they may now be more open to a sale for the right price.

Newcastle's bid was immediately rejected, with Spurs also having turned down bids worth more in this window, but the Magpies continue to be interested and are considering making a new offer.

The Toon are keen to replace Tonali in their midfield, but are also very alert to the fact that their captain Bruno Guimaraes has told the club he wants to leave in order to pursue a move to Arsenal, who are understood to be preparing a £65m offer for the Brazilian.

Newcastle don't want to sell the Brazil international, but may be forced to if they receive a major offer, and they are now looking to pre-empt any exit by bringing in reinforcements of their own.

Newcastle Must Move Quickly

Bergvall is widely considered to be one of the top young midfielders in the Premier League following his performances in recent years, and that's the type of signing that Eddie Howe and Newcastle have prioritised previously.

He has all the talent in the world to come into a Premier League midfield a be a regular starter if there isn't a place for him at Spurs, and Newcastle could be the perfect landing spot.

However, with so much competition for his signature, and the fact that the club have really struggled to get deals over the line in recent windows, they will have to be efficient and quick if they want to get this one done.

Savinho is desperate to make the move to Tottenham Hotspur, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Spurs were once again linked with the Manchester City man early in the summer transfer window but with Roberto De Zerbi and club chiefs making a splurge on defenders and midfielders, talk of a move for the 22-year-old went quiet.

However, after completing six new signings in the goalkeeper, defence and midfield departments, Spurs are now focusing their attention on their forward line and Savinho remains a "top priority" for the club in the final month-and-a-half of the transfer window, with a £65million deal set to be concluded.

Spurs' interest in Savinho goes back a whole year

Tottenham tried to sign Savinho in the last summer transfer window, but could not get a deal over the line. The winger had wanted to make the move to north London then, with limited game time at the Etihad Stadium under Pep Guardiola.

He actually made 36 appearances in all competitions in 2025/26, but only 14 of those were starts and he will likely get more regular chances in the Spurs side, despite there being no European football next season.

Spurs have remained in contact with City since last summer and are keen to get a deal over the line in the coming days and weeks to bolster De Zerbi's attacking line.

However, City will need to find a replacement first, something that stopped Tottenham completing a deal last summer.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano said: "On Tottenham I stand by my news, I maintain my information. Tottenham want Savinho, Tottenham will go for Savinho, there are negotiations ongoing club-to-club, Savinho is very keen on a move to Tottenham.

"He was already prepared to go to Tottenham one year ago. Now Savinho wants to go to Tottenham and Tottenham are negotiating for Savinho with Man City.

"In order to get the green light for the move, Man City would need a replacement for Savinho, that's the point, but Tottenham are working on the deal. This remains the priority."

Spurs have been linked with a number of other signings, with AC Milan star Rafael Leao offered to the north Londoners. Eli Kroupi Juniro is another who has been linked with a move to N17 as Tottenham look to finish what has already been strong transfer business.

Pep Guardiola is a big fan of Savinho

But Savinho looks to be the chosen one as De Zerbi eyes strength in depth on the left-hand side of his front line with injuries to Wilson Odobert and Xavi Simons.

And the City forward could be the perfect signing for De Zerbi, with former boss Pep Guardiola saying of the Brazilian: "Savinho has everything to win and prove. He has a lot to improve, he is not aggressive enough without the ball, but right now he has something special to help the team.

"At that age, in the one-against-one, he is unstoppable. When we finish the final product, he will be a top, top class player."

Tottenham fans are waiting to see the club's next move in the transfer market after already splashing the cash this summer.

The north London club have made a real statement ahead of the new season following a £237million transfer splurge on Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali.

Martin Dubravka, Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi have also joined on free transfers to bolster Roberto De Zerbi's squad after maintaining their Premier League status on the final day of last campaign.

Spurs are not done in the transfer market just yet, though, with the Italian boss in need of attacking reinforcements following a real lack of goals across the 2025/26 season.

Bournemouth attacker Eli Junior Kroupi, who could cost in excess of £85million, has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer after a sensational debut season on the south coast.

Should Spurs continue with plans to sign Kroupi?

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT in an exclusive interview, former Tottenham goalkeeper Brad Friedel delivered his verdict on Kroupi and highlighted the pressure to qualify for the top four if their summer of spending continues.

"He would be another exciting signing, to be honest," said the American on the possibility of Kroupi joining.

"I mean if they do that, you're nearing like £300million in the transfer window. I guess I'd answer a different way, if you all of a sudden spent £300million in one transfer window on players, plus the free transfers that they had, and you add all their wages up and all the money spent, then there's going to be a little bit of pressure to be in the top four, not the top six.

"And if you're signing them, then you're looking at expecting a large goal and assist return as well, so it would be exciting. There'd be big talking points, but they would go from the expectation of a top six to a top four."

What next for Richarlison and Solanke?

Tottenham really struggled in front of goal last season and their failure to find the net regularly was a huge reason for almost dropping down to the Championship.

Richarlison finished the season topping the goalscoring charts with 12 goals in all competitions, with Joao Palhinha and Micky van de Ven next in line on seven and Cristian Romero and Dominic Solanke just behind on six.

After so far adding six new players to the squad, Friedel has stressed the importance of now adding goals to De Zerbi's team after last season's woes.

"Goals," he stated on Tottenham's next transfer need. "I think they need to bring in a few more goals into their squad, so, you know, another one or two more attacking pieces.

"They needed to sort out a lot, and they started at the back, which is logical, and then you move forward. Usually the attacking pieces take a little bit longer in the transfer window as well, and they might even be looking at someone that's in the World Cup, and the negotiations are taking a little bit longer."

So would Friedel look at moving on one of Richarlison or Solanke if new attacking additions come in through the door?

"Richarlison I would," said the former goalkeeper on the possibility of one of the duo leaving. "Solanke I would keep, he knows the Premier League well."
