Tottenham Hotspur would likely be ready to sell another of their promising young stars for the right price if a suitable offer arrives, according to Football London correspondent Alasdair Gold.

Tottenham have been the busiest Premier League club in terms of incomings with six new arrivals already finalised for Roberto De Zerbi in Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke, Martin Dubravka, Mateus Fermandes and Sandro Tonali.

Spurs have already spent more than £235m in transfer fees but they aren't finished yet, with at least two more attackers expected to move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before the September 1 deadline.

Two of their top targets are Manchester City winger Savinho and Bournemouth's Eli Junior Kroupi, but the north London outfit will be looking to recoup money through sales of players De Zerbi doesn't see as part of his plans too.

They have already brought in around £50m for Luka Vuskovic following his switch to Brighton and Hove Albion, while Rad Dragusin, Alejo Veliz and Alfie Devine have also gone.

Spurs have also rejected a £38m bid from Nottingham Forest for Sweden international Lucas Bergvall, but they are expecting the Midlands outfit to return with an improved bid for the player they want to replace Manchester City bound Elliot Anderson.

Bergvall might not be the last potential young player on his way out this summer.

Gold: Tottenham Likely to Sell Will Lankshear if Valuation Met

Another Tottenham youngster who is attracting interest from a number of clubs is striker Will Lankshear.

The 21-year-old has made six first-team appearances for Spurs, but has spent the last two seasons out on loan at West Bromwich Albion and Oxford United.

Lankshear shone during his temporary spell at the Kassam Stadium despite even though the U's were relegated to League One, scoring 11 times in 43 Championship appearances.

The 6 ft 2 centre-forward has attracted offers from Sporting Lisbon, Wolves and Southampton, and even though those approaches were turned down by the north Londoners, Gold believes that if their valuation is met then they would probably sell.

Speaking on his latest YouTube video, the journalist said:

"Everyone's still trying to sign him in the Championship and at Sporting Lisbon. He's developed so much. Have you seen him in the videos and the photos? I saw it as he was kind of going through the season at Oxford.

"He has bulked up properly with the physicality of that league, and there are a lot of clubs really seriously looking at him, and I kind of feel that there's a very real possibility, as I was saying about Luka Vuskovic, that if someone comes in with the kind of price that Spurs would take for Lankshear, he'll go."

Morgan Rogers Ready to Snub Tottenham for Arsenal

Tottenham are big admirers of Aston Villa and England star Morgan Rogers as they look at options to strengthen their attack, but it is believed that the 23-year-old wants to join Arsenal instead.

The forward is the Gunners' top left-winger target in this summer window, although both north London clubs face a huge obstacle if they do firm up their interest, given Villa are said to value the player at £130m.

Some negotiation will be needed to structure a deal in a way that will make Villa happy, but as things stand it appears like Tottenham are more likely to sign a player from elsewhere given Rogers' preference.

Tottenham have been incredibly active in the transfer market this summer as they plan for a big year under Roberto De Zerbi.

The appointment of the Italian proved crucial to the north London club securing their Premier League status on the final day of last season with relegation to the Championship a real possibility.

De Zerbi and Tottenham will now be targeting a move up the Premier League table and challenging for Europe once again after finishing 17th in each of the past two seasons.

Spurs have so far spent £237m this summer having signed Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali, with Martin Dubravka, Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi signing on free transfers.

More now needs to be done in the transfer market in terms of the team's attack after their struggles in front of goal last season.

Rogers interest

Tottenham have shown some interest in a move for Aston Villa ace Morgan Rogers, according to HandOfArsenal on X.

Spurs strengthened in that area of the pitch last season with Xavi Simons joining in a big-money transfer from RB Leipzig after initially failing in moves for Morgan Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze.

Tottenham saw glimpses of Simons' best across the campaign, with the player, who is currently out with an ACL injury, notably scoring in the crucial home match against Brighton & Hove Albion towards the end of last season and also twice in the 3-2 Champions League round of 16 win over Atletico Madrid.

De Zerbi will also have James Maddison at his disposal for the new season after only having him back in the final weeks of the campaign due to the ACL injury he suffered 12 months ago in pre-season.

The potential addition of Rogers would elevate Tottenham's attack to the next level, with the 'world-class' England international also capable of playing on the left-wing as well as in attacking midfield.

Rogers focused on Arsenal

Arsenal could potentially deliver a hammer blow to Tottenham when it comes to Rogers.

The Premier League champions are keen on a move for the ex-Middlesbrough man as they attempt to bolster their squad for the new campaign as they target more trophies.

According to HandOfArsenal on X, people at Arsenal maintain that Rogers is the top target for the winger/central attacker role.

Amid Tottenham's interest, it is reported that Rogers is believed to be focused on a move to Arsenal if a deal can be agreed.

Earlier this summer it was reported that Aston Villa have placed a £130m valuation on their star man.

Tottenham have rejected a bid for Swedish midfielder Lucas Bergvall, according to reports.

Spurs have already undergone a major overhaul in the summer transfer window, with new head coach Roberto De Zerbi adding six new signings to the squad he inherited when he arrived in north London at the end of March.

Goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, defenders Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Jan Paul van Hecke and midfielder Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali have all arrived for a combined £237million outlay this summer.

And it is those two big-money midfielder signings that have led to question marks over Bergvall's future at the club.

Bergvall has been one of Spurs' standout stars in difficult seasons

Tottenham beat off stiff competition from the likes of Barcelona to sign the Swede in an £8.5million deal in 2024 when he was just 18.

He went on to complete a clean sweep of the club's Player of the Season awards in the 2024/25 campaign that ended with Spurs winning the UEFA Europa League but finishing 17th in the Premier League.

Alongside fellow teenager Archie Gray, the duo were expected to be at the heart of the Spurs side for many years to come, but Bergvall may well be on the move this summer.

Reports have suggested that the 20-year-old has asked to leave the club, with uncertainty around the amount of game time he will get under De Zerbi, given the huge outlay on midfielder signings this summer. De Zerbi has reportedly allayed any fears he may have, but there remain question marks over his immediate future.

Now the Telegraph report that Spurs have rejected a £38million bid from Nottingham Forest for the talented central midfielder, with new boss Oliver Glasner keen to add reinforcements following Elliot Anderson's £116million move to Manchester City.

Spurs have set out their price tag for the Swedish international

Tottenham are understood to be demanding in the region of £50million to sanction the sale of the Swedish star, with the Telegraph reporting that Forest will return to the north Londoners with an improved bid of £45million to test the waters further.

If they can conclude a deal, Bergvall would become Forest's record signing, surpassing the £37.5million they spent on Omari Hutchinson last summer.

After a 1-0 win over Man City in 2025, then City boss Pep Guardiola described the Swede as "unstoppable". Bergvall responded to that priase by admitting: "Of course it’s fun, but in the big picture it doesn’t really matter. I just try to play football and develop all the time and help the team. It’s always fun to get praise and you should take it in. But I try not to put too much emphasis on it.”

Tottenham Hotspur have entered the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain star Ibrahim Mbaye this summer to bolster their attack, according to Santi Aouna.

The Lilywhites have added six first-team stars to their squad this summer already, signing Andy Robertson, Martin Dubravka, Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes, and Sandro Tonali, as they look to recover from consecutive 17th-placed finishes in the Premier League.

But the club are also keen to add to their forward options this summer, and the club have now joined the hunt for a highly-rated European champion.

Tottenham Eyeing Mbaye Deal

Mbaye, who has been described as a 'phenomenon', is expected to leave PSG this summer in the search of more regular first-team football, despite winning back-to-back Champions League titles and Ligue 1 titles.

After falling behind all of Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Desire Doue, Bradley Barcola, Lee Kang-In, and Goncalo Ramos in the pecking order, the Senegal international has made it clear that he wants to leave the Parisians this summer.

A number of clubs are understood to be keen to strike a deal for the 18-year-old winger, and Tottenham are among the clubs showing the strongest interest.

PSG are open to allowing the youngster to leave for the right price, and Spurs are keen to add tricky, fast forwards to the squad to complement their new rebuild.

No fees have been touted at this stage, but the situation is one to keep an eye on, with an exit almost certainly on the cards, and Spurs having plenty of cash to splash in the window.

Tottenham Move for Mbaye a Gamble

De Zerbi knows how to get the best out of his winger options, and Mbaye is a rough diamond who is ready to be moulded into a superstar.

But all of Tottenham's transfer business this summer, including the sale of Luka Vuskovic, points to wanting to be successful immediately, and Mbaye's arrival is more of a project signing.

It's possible that they are looking at him for the long-term rather than immediate, but he may not be open to that, and it will be interesting to see how this move develops in the coming weeks.

Tottenham have been dealt a major blow after it emerged that Liverpool have no intention of selling Cody Gakpo this summer, according to talkSPORT.

The north London side have had an excellent transfer window so far, bringing in Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes, and Sandro Tonali to bolster Roberto De Zerbi's squad, but they are still keen to add new forward options too.

Gakpo had emerged as a top target for Spurs, with the Netherlands international shining at the World Cup this summer, but a deal will not be happening after a fresh update out of Anfield.

Liverpool Don't Want to Sell Gakpo

Gakpo, who signed a new deal at Anfield worth £250,000-a-week last summer, had been tipped for an exit away from the Merseyside club this summer after a string of poor performances last season.

Liverpool are expected to undergo a major rebuild of their own, with Ibrahima Konate and Mohamed Salah both leaving alongside Robertson, while Federico Chiesa is also expected to move on, and there is strong interest in Curtis Jones in midfield.

But it has now emerged that Andoni Iraola, who replaced Arne Slot as manager, sees Gakpo as a key member of his squad for the upcoming campaign, and he is expected to stay.

Liverpool are keen to add to their wide options in this window, having already signed Victor Munoz from Osasuna, and that means Gakpo will not be allowed to leave.

Tottenham are now set to look at alternative options, with Man City star Savinho among their top targets, while AC Milan superstar Rafael Leao has also been linked with a move to north London.

Gakpo Deal Always Unlikely

A move for Gakpo was always an unlikely scenario considering Liverpool's thin squad, and the value they would place on the winger's head. But, the same could have been said about moves for Fernandes and Tonali, and Spurs got those done.

A left-winger who can provide a goal threat and also play across the line seems to be a priority for De Zerbi, and Gakpo fits the bill perfectly. But Liverpool know they have a top-quality forward option, and won't want to let him go easily.

Spurs will now have to look elsewhere to get their forward options upgraded, but they are working hard to do so, and new faces are surely not too far away.

A 'forgotten' Tottenham Hotspur player will probably never play for the club again unless he makes a big impression on Roberto De Zerbi in pre-season, according to Football London correspondent Alasdair Gold.

The biggest focus around Tottenham in this summer transfer window is the fact they have been the busiest Premier League club by signing six new players, all while breaking their transfer record twice to sign Mateus Fernandes from West Ham United, and then Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United.

Spurs chiefs are showing De Zerbi that they mean business ahead of next season, and more new additions will be on the way in the frontline too, with Manchester City winger Savinho and Bournemouth striker Eli Junior Kroupi two of their top targets in attack.

Of course, with the potential of eight or nine new signings arriving in one transfer window, it means that players need to go too.

Alfie Devine, Radu Dragusin, Luka Vuskovic and Yves Bissouma are among those who have already gone, with more expected to join them.

Guglielmo Vicario, Djed Spence, Cristian Romero, Pape Matar Sarr, Archie Gray, Richarlison and Manor Solomon are just some of the first-team players linked with moves away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while some younger players could also leave.

Gold: Ashley Phillips Will Probably 'Never Play for Tottenham'

Tottenham signed the highly-rated Ashley Phillips for a fee in the region of £2m from Blackburn Rovers in 2023, but the 21-year-old has never made a senior first-team appearance for Spurs.

The 6 ft 4 centre-back has had loan moves away from the club at Plymouth Argyle and then two successive seasons at Stoke City, where he was nominated for the Young Championship Player of the Year award last season for his performances for the Potters.

Phillips has the chance to impress De Zerbi in pre-season but given the Italian currently has Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul Van Hecke, Micky van de Ven, Kevin Danso and Cristian Romao, although the Argentina international is expected to leave, as his centre-back options, it's difficult to see much of an opportunity for him.

It is a feeling backed up by Gold who, after seeing another promising young centre-back in Vuskovic leave, believes the same fate may be facing the Manchester-born defender.

In his latest YouTube video, Gold said:

"Ashley Phillips has probably been the best forgotten centre-back that Tottenham have. He's had such a terrific couple of years at Stoke.

He was nominated for Young Championship Player of the Year last year, but will probably, like Vuskovic, never play for Tottenham. I would absolutely love it if he had a terrific pre-season and De Zerbi said 'what have you done with this guy?'

Tottenham Decide Star 'Untouchable' After Exit Talk

While Tottenham seem open to losing their club captain Romero this summer, they have made it clear to any potential suitors that his centre-back partner Van de Ven is 'untouchable', according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Netherlands international has been linked with the likes of Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona in recent months, but Spurs and De Zerbi have made it clear that he is going nowhere.

The Italian is said to see the Dutchman as a vital piece of his Spurs rebuild, and the player himself has actually been open to extending his contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium rather than seeking a move away, according to GIVEMESPORT sources.

Tottenham Hotspur have their eyes on signing Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers, but a fresh twist has emerged according to a top club source.

Tottenham are firmly focused on strengthening Roberto De Zerbi's attack in the remainder of the summer transfer window, having already transformed the club's defence and midfield following two successive disappointing Premier League seasons.

Andy Robertson, Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi and Martin Dubravka have arrived to reinforce the backline, with exits in that area now expected.

Luka Vuskovic has already completed a big-money move to Brighton and Hove Albion, while Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that captain Cristian Romero will also be leaving the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer, with his centre-back partner Micky van de Ven considered 'untouchable'.

Exits may also be expected in midfield too following the big-money double swoop for Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali, with Nottingham Forest showing interest in Lucas Bergvall and potential doubts over the likes of Pape Matar Sarr and Archie Gray, who are also attracting suitors.

There have been no exits in attack yet, but De Zerbi is keen to add at least two new faces to his frontline before the transfer deadline on September 1, with a left-winger and a striker looking to be the priority targets.

Tottenham Want Rogers But He'll Have Better Options

A new striker coming in at Tottenham could depend on either Dominic Solanke or Richarlison leaving the club, but it is clear that a left-winger is likely to arrive whatever happens.

Spurs' number one target, like he was last summer, is Manchester City's Savinho, according to Fabrizio Romano, with talks ongoing over a deal to bring the Brazilian to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Liverpool's Cody Gakpo and AC Milan's Rafael Leao are just two of the other names linked with a move, but top club source O'Keefe says that the north Londoners are also 'big admirers' of Aston Villa and England star Rogers, who has been described as 'one of the best midfielders in the world' by NBC pundit Robbie Mustoe.

However, he also confirms that the 23-year-old is likely to have better options than Spurs this summer, with the player already confirmed to be Arsenal's top attacking target in this window.

Another complication is the fact that Villa are said to value their prized asset at £130m, and while Tottenham have shown that they are willing to break the bank this summer, reaching a British transfer record fee would be another level.

Tottenham Make Surprise Enquiry for Premier League Star

Following the arrival of Robertson and Pedro Porro signing a new long-term contract, Tottenham look to be particularly strong in the full-back positions as things stand.

De Zerbi also has the likes of Djed Spence, Ben Davies, Souza and Gray who can play at full-back, which makes the reported enquiry they've made for Nottingham Forest's player of the season, Neco Williams, a little confusing.

England star Spence has been linked with an exit this summer and, like Williams, he is able to cover both full-back positions, which would mean that a move for the Wales international would be more understandable if he does leave.

Tottenham would face competition for Williams' signature though, with Newcastle United and Manchester United both keen on him too.

Djed Spence has been impressing on the world stage this summer, proving Thomas Tuchel right about naming him in his England squad for the 2026 World Cup.

The Tottenham Hotspur full-back was one of the more surprising names in the squad, with Spurs having finished 17th in the Premier League last season.

Tuchel explained, when announcing his squad, that Spence "suffered" from Spurs' poor season and the number of different managers he had to work under, but explained why he chose him, saying: "He loves defending, he’s the fastest player in our squad, and he loves defending one-on-ones. That’s what makes him a special full-back for us. He can play both sides. He was excellent in every match he played for us."

Tottenham star will face a fight for a place in Roberto De Zerbi's team

Spence has played in every match the Three Lions have played at the World Cup so far, starting two of the six matches and producing fine cameo appearances in the other four from the substitutes' bench.

But despite his good form for England, his domestic future may be in the balance.

Roberto De Zerbi is making wholesale changes to the Tottenham squad he inherited at the end of March, adding six new faces to the north Londoners' squad already, with three of those new signings coming in defence.

And Spence could be one of the players to depart the club this summer, with his performances in America and Mexico garnering plenty of interest from other clubs.

European giants Inter Milan are the latest club to make a move, with transfer guru Fabrizio Romano revealing talks between the two clubs are well underway.

He said: "Inter remain in talks for Djed Spence, as revealed here and seen as top target at right wing-back. Spurs valuation higher than Inter expectations but talks are ongoing.

"The player would be open to the move."

Spurs will want to ensure their valuation is met

Tottenham are understood to have slapped a £40million price tag on Spence's shoulders, with Premier League rivals Liverpool also understood to be interested in making a move for the 25-year-old.

Spence is likely to have to battle it out with Spain's Pedro Porro for the right-back berth in De Zerbi's side next season, with Andy Robertson coming in to challenge Destiny Udogie for the left-back spot. And without European competition next year, there will be fewer opportunities for players to make their mark.

England take on Argentina in the World Cup semi-final on Wednesday night, with the winners facing a date with destiny with Spain in the final in New Jersey on Sunday. If Spence continues to impress, Spurs may well think about increasing their valuation.

Tottenham have already decided which of their players they will refuse to sell this summer as their attention, or at least a part of it, turns to offloading players. Spurs have spent more than £235million so far during the summer window, which is a record spend for the club, and they are not done yet.

Roberto De Zerbi has strengthened his defence and midfield so far this summer, but attention will now turn to the attacking areas, with a winger understood to be the main priority But exits will take place, and the likes of Cristian Romero and Guglielmo Vicario will likely lead the way, while there is also speculation surrounding the future of Lucas Bergvall.

Tottenham will not consider exit under any circumstances

One player who has no chance of leaving Tottenham this summer is centre-back Micky van de Ven, despite some links. Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has said on his YouTube show: "Tottenham are ready to let Romero go to move on and to try something different. Credit to Tottenham because they already invested, so they are not going to enter the market when the world people know that they are letting Romero go.

"They sign Van Hecke, they sign Marco Senesi. Van de Ven is absolutely untouchable. All the stories on Van de Ven, Liverpool, Van de Ven to Barcelona. Fake news. Van de Ven is staying and is a crucial player for De Zerbi. So it's very clear that Cuti Romero is going to leave Tottenham."

Van de Ven is under contract at Tottenham until 2029, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see Spurs extend that deal, given how highly they value the Dutch defender.

Van de Ven a big fan of De Zerbi

While there has been some concern Van de Ven will want to play European football, the defender is seemingly willing to stick around for at least another year to see if De Zerbi can turn things around, fully believing in the Italian.

He said at the end of last season: "We’ve been through a rollercoaster and since Roberto came in, I think a new positive flow came into the group and we played some better football and we got the points.

“The gaffer has been unbelievable, I'm not going to lie, since he stepped in. I spoke a lot with him as well because he also saw that I was not in the best mood, even at the training ground. So, he spoke a lot to me and he said to me, ‘you're going to be a really important player for me these last couple of games and I'm going to rely on you. You need to trust me and trust me, I trust you’. He said, ‘I've seen you play even when I was at Brighton, when I was at Marseille, you're a top player and I'm going to need you these last couple of games, so let's push together’.

"I think he did it with multiple players who had a lot of conversations with him and he gave us so much confidence. I think that's really important, especially when you're in the difficult situation we were in. Luckily, we came through it and I'm really proud of the boys.”

Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing up a move to hijack Sporting forward Trincao's move to Al Ahli in the coming days, according to Correio da Manha.

Spurs have had a busy summer window with six signings arriving in north London, with Roberto De Zerbi bringing in Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes, and Sandro Tonali.

Now Tottenham are keen to bolster their forward line, with a number of names being linked. But a new name has emerged as a target, and a deal could be done quickly if they get their way.

Tottenham Eyeing Trincao Hijack

Trincao, who has been compared to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, is set to leave Sporting CP this summer after four years back in Portugal, where he has managed 47 goals in 208 appearances for the Lisbon side.

The Portugal international is on the verge of a surprise move to Saudi Arabia, after Al Ahli agreed a deal worth around £38m to take him to the Middle East. But according to a report in Portugal, the player has yet to give his final OK to the deal, as he is waiting for a Premier League side to make their move.

Tottenham are named in the article as having a strong interest in the winger, with De Zerbi viewing him as someone who can play out wide or as a number ten.

Trincao is reluctant to move to the SPL while there is a possibility of a move to the Premier League, which is his preference, and the door is said to be ajar for Spurs to make a late play for his signature.

Sporting are willing to accept any offer that matches the €45m (£38m) they have already accepted, but Spurs will have to move quickly to get a deal done, with a final decision expected in the coming days.

Trincao a Bargain at £38m

Spurs need a winger or two, and while a number of names have been linked with a move, there is nothing advanced at this stage.

Trincao is a player who can play on either flank or centrally, and is a reliable goalscorer if given the chance. He has played in the Premier League before with Wolves, although he was much younger in his career, and having that experience could be invaluable to making an instant impact.

It won't be easy to get a deal done, but the door is open and the deal is on the table for them to get done if they want it. At £38m, it would be a bargain, and would also mean there is less pressure on other deals to get done quickly.
