Tottenham are interested in signing one player who has been called up to the England squad for the World Cup ahead of the summer transfer window.

It's certainly not going to be a quiet summer transfer window for Spurs, with a number of players already linked with departures.

Some in the Tottenham squad won't want to be without European football, and the North London club failed to qualify after being involved in a relegation battle.

Roberto De Zerbi's side managed to avoid dropping down to the Championship after securing a win over Everton on the final day.

After such a disappointing couple of years, the Tottenham hierarchy will undoubtedly want to back De Zerbi, especially after he turned things around for them in the second half of the season.

Tottenham Eyeing Man City Transfer

According to a report from the Independent, Tottenham are now considering a deal to sign John Stones to bring in some 'badly needed leadership' in the summer transfer window.

Signing a new centre back could be one of their priorities, with Cristian Romero and Micky van der Ven both linked with departures.

Stones is set to be a free agent in the summer after it was confirmed that he will be leaving Manchester City following the expiration of his contract.

After years of bringing in young talents from around Europe, adding some experience to their squad could certainly be beneficial to avoid being dragged into another relegation battle.

Stones Still Won't Come Cheap

According to David Ornstein, when John Stones signed a new deal at the Etihad Stadium back in 2021, the Man City defender was given a deal worth £250,000 a week.

Even if Tottenham are going to secure Stones' signature on a free transfer, it's still not going to come cheap, considering the wages they may have to offer.

If Stones is going to want to remain in the Premier League heading into the 2026-2027 season, there's every chance he may have to drop his wage demands.

​​​​​​​Signing Stones on £250,000 a week might not be the smartest idea, especially as he struggled to play regularly in recent years due to injuries.

Tottenham have held talks to sign one player who is being actively pursued by Liverpool ahead of the summer transfer window.

Beating Liverpool to signings is certainly not going to be easy for Tottenham in the upcoming window, after they narrowly avoided being relegated from the Premier League.

The North London club are going to be without European football next season, which makes it more difficult for them to attract players, especially against sides that are in the Champions League.

Spurs are going to have to be clever with their recruitment. If they are targeting young talents from around the world, they have to offer them more of a pathway to first-team football than their rivals.

Tottenham Hold Young Startlet Transfer Talks

According to a report from Team Talk, Tottenham have held talks with Hertha Berlin youngster Kennet Eichhorn ahead of the summer transfer window.

The report claims that Liverpool are one of the leading contenders to sign him if he decides to make a move to England this summer, but Tottenham are waiting patiently.

According to Sky Sports earlier this week, Liverpool opened talks to sign the German youngster, who has a release clause in the region of £10m.

The 16-year-old wonderkid, described as a 'special' talent by scout Jacek Kulig, does plan on heading through the exit door in the summer transfer window, but it remains to be seen whether he's keen on a move to England.

Tottenham Could Struggle in Eichhorn Race

Beating Liverpool to the signing of Eichhorn certainly won't be easy for Tottenham heading into the summer transfer window.

Interestingly, the German youngster wouldn't be eligible to play in England just yet due to his age, meaning it would likely be a pre-agreed signing for the future.

If Eichhorn is going to make a decision now, then Liverpool is undoubtedly the more attractive prospect, considering Tottenham were almost relegated this season.

A host of other clubs are also in the race to secure his signature, so it could be a difficult deal for Tottenham to pull off due to the competition.

Tottenham Hotspur are planning to ensure they are not in another relegation battle next season, and Roberto De Zerbi is eyeing a raid on his former club to make it happen.

The Lilywhites secured their survival with a win over Everton on the final day of the campaign, sending West Ham into the Championship and cementing the future of a number of top players at the club. But the manager is keen to strengthen the squad, and bring in players to suit his tactical needs.

The best way for him to do that quickly is to sign players he has worked with previously, and it has now emerged that the Italian is taking a close look at some former players ahead of the summer window.

Tottenham Eyeing Baleba Transfer Hijack

According to a report by Miguel Delaney, Tottenham are eyeing a move to sign Brighton midfield sensation Carlos Baleba this summer.

Baleba, who has been described as 'world-class', has been strongly linked with a move away from the AMEX Stadium this summer, with Man Utd understood to be strong suitors for his signature. In fact, it has been reported that Baleba already has a verbal agreement over a move to Old Trafford.

However, De Zerbi is hopeful of hijacking that move by entering the race for his former midfielder, and using his relationship with the player to convince him to move to north London instead.

The Cameroon international won't be cheap, however, with Brighton understood to be demanding around £100m for his services, as they look to keep their squad strong following qualification for the Conference League next season.

Tottenham are prepared to back De Zerbi fully this summer, but there is an acceptance that it will be difficult for them to do that. However, De Zerbi views Baleba as one of 'his players', and feels there is a deal there than can be done.

Baleba Would Be Perfect Tottenham Addition

Tottenham were seriously lacking with their squad this season when it came to having the legs and fitness to stop opposing teams hurting them, and there aren't many better at combating that problem than Baleba.

The 22-year-old is quick, strong, and has great for for growth, which makes him the absolutely perfect signing for what Spurs are looking to build going forward. But they face a huge ask convincing him to join.

Not only is the transfer fee likely to be huge, but Man Utd have an agreement in place and he has been desperate to make that switch since last year. If anyone can convince him to change it's mind, it's likely to be De Zerbi, but it won't be easy.

Manchester United are looking to take advantage of Tottenham's difficult last few years by targeting one of their players ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Red Devils are likely to hold more power in the upcoming transfer window after qualifying for the Champions League this season.

The board will be looking to back Michael Carrick after naming him as their permanent manager following an impressive few months in charge.

United will need reinforcements in the summer as they look to build a bigger squad capable of dealing with the extra fixtures that come with playing in Europe.

The lack of European distraction this season certainly helped Carrick towards the end of the campaign, but his job gets a little more difficult now after Champions League qualification.

Man Utd Eyeing Tottenham Raid

According to a report from Sports Boom, Manchester United are one of the sides showing an interest in Tottenham defender Luka Vuskovic ahead of the summer transfer window.

Spurs are believed to value the 19-year-old in the region of £60 million, with a host of clubs keen on the young defender.

Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Borussia Dortmund are among his suitors, while Barcelona are also pushing for a permanent transfer.

Vuskovic, described as 'special', spent this season on loan at Hamburg, enjoying a phenomenal campaign.

The Croatian starlet will now return to Tottenham ahead of pre-season, but it remains to be seen where his future lies.

Tottenham Might Not Sell to Man Utd

With interest in Vuskovic from around the continent, there's no doubt Tottenham would rather sell the youngster abroad than in the Premier League.

Although it might not seem like it, given the difference between the two sides at the moment, Spurs will be looking to push for the top half and potentially European places next season.

They will likely consider United a rival in doing so, so selling Vuskovic to the Red Devils wouldn't make a lot of sense.

If Spurs are planning on selling Vuskovic this summer, a move to Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, or Barcelona feels more likely.

Tottenham are likely to make a move to sign a new goalkeeper in the summer transfer window, with No.1 Guglielmo Vicario likely to leave the club.

Vicario has not played under new head coach Roberto De Zerbi, having undergone hernia surgery just prior to the Italian's arrival in north London as Igor Tudor's replacement.

Antonin Kinsky stepped up and despite Vicario returning from injury for the final two games of the season, the Czech shotstopper was given the nod between the sticks.

Vicario is wanted by Inter Milan this summer

And it may be that we do not see Vicario pulling on the Spurs shirt again, with links with a move back to Italy rife, with Inter Milan heavily tipped to make a move this summer.

GIVEMESPORT senior football correspondent Ben Jacobs said: "I think Tottenham are resigned and almost prepared to endorse as well, certain exits and Vicario probably falls into a category of a mutual parting of ways, because I can foresee a situation where Tottenham go out in the market and try and sign a new number one goalkeeper, and Inter Milan and Vicario is the plot line to keep an eye on there."

The new No.1 Jacobs talks of could be Benfica's Anatoliy Trubin, who has emerged as a potential signing for Spurs, according to A Bola in Portugal.

According to the report, Tottenham have been tracking the 24-year-old shotstopper, with Benfica Insider on X even going on to say that "negotiations between Benfica and Tottenham Hotspur are ongoing".

Trubin made headlines this season when he scored a dramatic injury-time goal for the Portuguese side against Real Madrid to send them into the UEFA Champions League knockout phase. Their progression was coincidentally at the expense of Marseille, who are the time were managed by De Zerbi.

Trubin thinks De Zerbi is "crazy"

De Zerbi and Trubin have worked together before, at Shakhtar Donetsk, and it seems Trubin would love to play under his former manager once more.

Speaking in a Sky Sports interview Trubin said: "I can say one word about him. Crazy. But he is crazy about football. He opened my eyes to another way of playing football for me, even as a goalkeeper."

Then in conversation with A Bola, Trubin hinted at linking up with De Zerbi once more. "He could still teach me a lot," he said. "There is no player in the world who does not want to play in the Premier League, but I have to continue working hard."

De Zerbi will know, if he tries to sign Trubin, that he has a goalkeeper who already knows exactly how to play his style of football.

Tottenham are looking to get their business done early in the summer transfer window, with a number of players already heavily linked with move to N17.

Spurs have agreements in place to bring free agents Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi to the club from Liverpool and Bournemouth respectively - moves that will strengthen their backline considerably.

And now they are back in for another player - like Robertson - that they wanted to sign in a previous window in Savinho at Manchester City.

Spurs could have signed Savinho last summer

Tottenham were linked with a move for the Brazilian last summer, but could not get a deal over the line after City eventually blocked his exit. The 22-year-old was understood to be keen on the move, but stayed at the Etihad Stadium and actually put pen to paper on a new deal with the Citizens.

However, he only started seven Premier League games under Pep Guardiola this season and could look for a way out of the club, although a new manager coming in could lead him to re-evaluate and fight for his place.

Tottenham are ready to open talks over a deal to sign the frontman this summer, and the Brazilian remains open to a move to north London, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, he said: "Keep an eye again on Tottenham and Savinho. Last summer Tottenham wanted to go all in for Savinho, sent two official bids to Manchester City, but Man City decided not to proceed.

"City were considering going for Rodrygo from Real Madrid and letting Savinho go to Tottenham. Then the Rodrygo deal was not possible and also City decided to trust Savinho and so they offered him a new contract.

Managerial change has not changed Spurs' minds

"But this season for Savinho at Man City has not been easy. He wants to play on a regular basis and now Tottenham are prepared to go for it. Roberto De Zerbi and people at Tottenham want Savinho. So now they are prepared to reopen negotiations with Manchester City. "Tottenham are prepared to open again talks with Manchester City. My understanding is that Savinho was open to joining Tottenham from Manchester City in summer 2025 but at the time city decided to trust him and Savinho was more than happy to sign a new contract.

"But, let me say, if this summer Tottenham and City reach an agreement Savinho will be a Spurs player because the player is quite open to the move even without European football at Tottenham."

The Premier League campaign reached its climax on Sunday night, and both sides of north London ended the season in joyous mood for very different reasons.

Arsenal were crowned champions for the first time since 2004, and lifted the trophy at Selhurst Park after their final game of the season, where they beat Crystal Palace 2-1 ahead of their Champions League final clash against Paris Saint-Germain this coming weekend.

Tottenham, on the other hand, entered the final day knowing they needed to avoid defeat against Everton to cement their Premier League status for another season, and they defeated the Toffees 1-0.

Arsenal and Tottenham Stars Party Together

After being crowned champions, the Gunners went for a lavish night out in Mayfair to treat the non-playing members of staff at the club at a Mediterranean restaurant, according to The Sun.

It's also understood that backroom staff, including workers from Arsenal’s training ground were also invited, along with their loved ones, as the club marked their historic achievement. But while the venue was essentially hired out to keep it private, the party eventually moved on to TAPE nightclub, where Arsenal ran into some familiar faces.

It's understood that while there, Arsenal stars bumped into some players from rival side Tottenham, who were celebrating their survival in the same venue.

Despite the fierce rivalry between the two North London clubs, The Sun report both sets of players partied together into the early hours of the Bank Holiday morning.

Arsenal will now turn their attention to their trip to Budapest, where they will take on reigning French and European champions PSG in the Champions League final on May 30th, as they look to make history by lifting the trophy for the first time in their history.

Arsenal and Spurs Rivalry Still Exists

While the two sets of players may have been partying in the clubs after the season ended, there's no doubting that when they get back on the pitch next season the rivalry will remain as fierce as ever.

We saw this season when they met up that Arsenal were by far the best team, and performances over the campaign have proven that to be true. But Spurs will be desperate to avoid being in the same situation next season, and big changes are expected in the summer as a result.

That should make for an exciting match up next season, and this rivalry can be renewed once more.

Tottenham could pull the plug on a move to sign a free agent in the summer transfer window after concerns have emerged.

Spurs will now be preparing for a busy summer window after they finalise their place in next season's Premier League on the final day.

Tottenham defeated Everton by a single goal to ensure they avoided dropping down to the Championship.

After two dreadful seasons in a row, the summer transfer window is now an opportunity for Spurs to rebuild and strengthen their squad.

Tottenham have already been linked with a host of different moves, and it appears they are targeting the free agent market.

There's no doubt Tottenham need a host of additions, especially with players likely to leave the club.

Tottenham Could Pull Plug on Move

According to a report from Football Insider, Tottenham could now pull the plug on a potential move to sign Roma star Paulo Dybala in the summer transfer window.

Spurs have shown an interest in signing the Argentine international, who was set to become a free agent this summer, but they could now pull the plug on a potential move.

It's claimed that Tottenham have concerns about doing a deal due to fitness issues and his age, and they could now switch to alternative targets.

Dybala has just started 14 times for Roma this season due to injuries, raising concerns about his fitness.

Tottenham are likely to shop in the free agent market, but it appears that a move for Dybala is now unlikely.

Tottenham Plotting Double Free Agent Deal

GIVEMESPORT sources have confirmed that Tottenham are poised to make two new signings after securing their Premier League status.

An agreement is in place for Liverpool defender Andy Robertson to join the club this summer following his departure from Liverpool.

The Scottish defender is set to leave Liverpool on a free following the expiration of his contract.

Tottenham are also hoping to formalise a deal to sign Marcos Senesi in the summer transfer window, with the defender set to leave Bournemouth on a free.

Other clubs are showing an interest in signing Senesi, so Spurs are looking to get a deal done quickly.

Tottenham are poised to make two new signings after securing their Premier League status.

GIVEMESPORT understands an agreement in principle is in place to sign Andy Robertson following his departure from Liverpool. The 32-year-old agreed terms in January, but Liverpool couldn't source a replacement and the Scotland international did not want to leave Anfield unless it also suited the club.

Robertson played his final game for Liverpool on Sunday in a 1-1 draw with Brentford that secured Champions League football for next season.

When Robertson transfer could be confirmed

Spurs are now expected to sign him on a free transfer and the deal could be formalised before Robertson heads off to the World Cup with Scotland.

The signing was always contingent on Spurs staying in the Premier League, with Roberto De Zerbi's side surviving courtesy of a 1-0 win over Everton on the final day.

Robertson is of appeal not only due to his Premier League experience and leadership, but his character as well. He made 378 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 14 times and was one of the most popular players in the dressing room.

Spurs are also favourites to sign Marcos Senesi on a free transfer. The 29-year-old left Bournemouth on a free transfer despite the Cherries qualifying for the Europa League via a sixth-placed finish.

Senesi had informed Bournemouth he wanted a fresh challenge last year and turned down multiple contract offers as a result.

Terms are in place with Spurs with Senesi making it clear to all European suitors his preference is to remain in the Premier League.

Two other clubs have been chasing Senesi

Manchester United have also considered Senesi, while Liverpool have been weighing up whether to enter the race. As it stands, Spurs are hoping to formalise Senesi quickly in order to avoid any surprises.

Senesi has had another outstanding season for Bournemouth making 37 appearances in all competitions and playing a pivotal role in Bournemouth gaining European football for the first time in their history.

Spurs staying up also boosts their chances of Micky van de Ven signing a new deal. Sources have told GMS he's been impressed by Roberto De Zerbi.

However, there remains a realistic chance captain Cristian Romero is sold. Spurs are open to an exit on the right times, with the Argentine defender keen on a move to La Liga.

Tottenham survived in the Premier League thanks to a 1-0 win over Everton on the final day of the season.

A wretched campaign ended on a positive note, with Roberto De Zerbi doing what he was brought to the club to do - rescue the Lilywhites from relegation to the Championship.

Joao Palhinha's goal was the difference on the day and his future at the club will be one up for discussion as attention immediately turns to what the club can do in the summer transfer window to avoid any chance of such a season happening again.

Tottenham hero will have talks over permanent transfer

Palhinha has been on loan from Bayern Munich for the 2025/26 campaign and will return to Germany now the season is over, although De Zerbi has admitted that he "100%" wants to sign him permanently.

Spurs will be in the market for more signings and GIVEMESPORT understands a deal to sign Andy Robertson on a free transfer from Liverpool should go through now their Premier League status is secure.

The Scotland international said goodbye to the Liverpool fans after a 1-1 draw with Brentford on the final day and has an agreement already in place to join Spurs.

And Robertson is set to be joined by another free agent at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Marcos Senesi.

The Bournemouth defender is out of contract at the Vitality Stadium this summer and is another with whom Spurs came to an agreement over signing, providing they stayed in the Premier League.

According to Italian journalist Matteo Moretto, Senesi has verbally agreed on the move to north London, with a four-year deal on the table.

He said: "Tottenham has verbally agreed on the signing of Marcos Senesi. There is a verbal agreement in progress between the parties, and the London club is already working on a four-year contract for the Argentine defender.

"Spurs are getting ahead of several European giants; even Liverpool showed interest in recent weeks."

Liverpool were weighing up a move for Senesi too, but it looks like De Zerbi has got his man, acting quickly to secure a deal.

Senesi may end up replacing his countryman Cristian Romero in N17, with the Argentinian club captain set to depart this summer. There is a feeling that a mutual parting of ways will take place should the right offer come in for the 28-year-old.
