Tottenham are eyeing a shrewd attacking reinforcement as Dominic Calvert-Lewin emerges as a free transfer target following a rejected contract offer from Everton.

It has been an abysmal campaign for Tottenham Hotspur in every possible way this season. The Lilywhites are sitting in 16th and have lost 19 of their 34 matches in the Premier League.

Indeed, there is a need for a change, and Tottenham would have to spend big if they are to get back to competing with some of the Premier League’s elite.

Several positions could do with more options and extra depth. However, recent reports now suggest that the north London club could add quality to their attack without having to splash the cash.

Tottenham want Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin on a free transfer

According to Fichajes, Spurs are reportedly interested in signing Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin this summer, with the English forward approaching the end of his contract at Goodison Park.

Calvert-Lewin is said to have turned down Everton’s latest offer of a new deal, and Spurs are keeping close tabs on the situation ahead of the summer window.

The 26-year-old has struggled for consistency in recent seasons, mainly due to recurring injuries, but there’s no denying his ability when fit, and a free transfer deal could tempt Tottenham into action.

Spurs weighing risk-reward of Calvert-Lewin move

Of course, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is Premier League proven and he would be great depth. But there are asterisks as to whether the 26-year-old would be open to making a move to Spurs and become second fiddle to Dominic Solanke – a player Tottenham signed just last season.

Calvert-Lewin has had his fitness struggles and given Spurs’ record of injuries this campaign, question marks remain as to whether a move for a player with an injury record like his would be a smart piece of business, especially when Richarlison has a similar problem.

While there is a chance that the striker signs for Tottenham on a free, Everton are expected to have a busy summer, as a host of players, alongside Calvert-Lewin, are set to be out of contract.

As a result, there is a good chance they will make another play to try and tie him down to a new deal.

Tottenham are said to be lining up a potential £51 million move for West Ham United’s Jarrod Bowen, despite the Hammers insisting the winger is not for sale.

West Ham United, just like Tottenham Hotspur, have been in poor form this season, with the East London side sitting a place below Spurs, who are down in 16th.

A number of West Ham players have been tipped to leave, and Jarrod Bowen, who has been outstanding since his move to the club, is among those attracting attention.

Reports suggest the 28-year-old has doubts about sticking around under Graham Potter, with concerns growing as the Hammers continue to slide. Tottenham have now been named as one of the clubs keeping tabs on Bowen.

Tottenham consider £51 million move for Jarrod Bowen

It has also been revealed that if West Ham United are to improve their PSR Position, they would need to sell players before they can push ahead with moves for their transfer targets this summer.

Tottenham have made contact with Jarrod Bowen. But it is understood that despite the forward’s uncertainty about staying at West Ham, the club remain adamant he’s not for sale.

According to CaughtOffside, however, Tottenham remain keen on signing Bowen, and are now weighing up a potential offer of €60 million (£51 million) for the England international.

Spurs are not alone in their pursuit, as Liverpool too are said to be weighing up a similar offer. Tottenham and Liverpool are the sides currently showing the most interest, with both clubs on the hunt for a versatile forward who can operate across the front line – a role Bowen fits perfectly.

Spurs eye Bowen amid uncertainty over Heung-min Son and Richarlison

There’s been increasing talk that Heung-min Son’s Tottenham career could come to an end this summer.

Questions also remain over Mathys Tel’s Tottenham future, with no guarantee the club will push to make his loan deal permanent.

Harry Kane was asked to name the person who has been the biggest influence on his career, and the player he named might leave many Tottenham fans surprised.

Kane will undoubtedly go down as one of the best players in the modern era and the striker is certainly far from done as he is continuing to bang in the goals with regularity at the highest level.

One only has to see how far Tottenham Hotspur have fallen this season to see how important the centre-forward was for the Lilywhites over the best part of the last decade.

Tottenham have a first refusal on Kane and Spurs fans will be hoping that their record goalscorer comes back home in the future to see off his career at N17.

Harry Kane names former Tottenham midfielder as his biggest inspiration

Kane has played with several world-class players at Tottenham and England, he also saw the likes of Luka Modric, Ledley King and Robbie Keane in close proximity while he was coming through the ranks of the Spurs academy.

However, the 32-year-old named Scott Parker as his biggest inspiration, revealing how the former Tottenham midfielder influenced him during his younger years.

When asked which player had the biggest impact on his career, Kane told ESPN FC: “Scott Parker at Spurs. He was everything you want in a footballer and a teammate. Every training session he was always 120%, doing stuff after training in the gym.

There was a time when I was doing my rehab at a similar time to him, when I was about 19, and just talking to him and seeing the way he worked and the way he thought about football really inspired me to have the same sort of work ethic. I’d say he was important to me at that age.”

Scott Parker could be back in a Tottenham tracksuit soon

The Burnley head coach did not just have two excellent seasons at White Hart Lane as a player, but he also began his coaching career in the Hotspur Way academy.

It was reported last week that Parker is being considered by Tottenham as a potential Ange Postecoglou replacement this summer.

The report claimed that the 44-year-old still remains a highly respected figure at the North London club, and given what Kane has said about his professionalism, it is easy to see why.

Paul Robinson believes that Tottenham Hotspur may pay in the summer window for their poor showing this season, with the former Spurs number one making an ominous prediction about the club’s transfer activity.

This summer is expected to see major changes at the North London club, with Ange Postecoglou set to be sacked even if Spurs win the Europa League.

According to reports over recent weeks, wholesale changes are also expected in Tottenham’s structure, with the medical, recruitment and sports science departments set to be reviewed.

Various sources have said that there could also be an exodus of players from the club, and not the kind that Spurs fans would want.

Paul Robinson predicts a painful summer for Tottenham

While it goes without saying that some of the fringe players will leave, the bigger concern for the North London club is that their best players are being linked with a move away.

Cristian Romero is thought to want to leave Tottenham while it has been suggested that Rodrigo Bentancur’s future at Spurs is in doubt.

Over recent days, it has been reported that Dejan Kulusevski is hesitant to sign a new contract while it has been alleged that Pedro Porro is being eyed by the likes of Man City.

Reacting to these transfer rumours, Robinson has now told Football Insider: “Tottenham’s season’s been poor, let’s not sugarcoat it – if they don’t get Europe, I think you’ll see a lot of players jumping ship.

“There’s a leadership vacuum – Ange [Postecoglou] started brightly, but since the injuries, it’s all fallen apart… You can’t have this many collapses and expect the same squad to be committed next season.”

Could Daniel Levy stop an exodus of key players from Spurs?

Following their latest loss against Liverpool, Tottenham have now suffered more defeats than they have in any other 38-game Premier League season.

There are usually repercussions when a club underperforms as abjectly as Ange Postecoglou’s men have this season, and it is only natural that the best players at N17 are starting to have their heads turned.

Tottenham have been handed a major boost ahead of their Europa League semi-final, as Bodo/Glimt’s injury crisis continues to worsen.

Reaching a Europa League semi-final isn’t something that comes around often for Tottenham Hotspur.

In fact, in their long history, Tottenham have only made it to this stage of the competition five times – and on two of those occasions, they’ve gone on to lift the trophy.

Given how dismal this Premier League season has been, with Spurs losing 19 games and currently languishing in 16th place, a repeat of the 1983/84 campaign – when they last won the Europa League – would be the perfect silver lining to what’s otherwise been a frustrating campaign.

Bodo/Glimt injury crisis ahead of Tottenham clash

Ange Postecoglou’s side will fancy their chances, as they welcome Bodo/Glimt to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday – a side who, on paper, Spurs should be beating.

But while Tottenham supporters have urged caution and warned against complacency ahead of the Glimt showdown, Postecoglou will know better than to underestimate a side in strong form heading into this clash.

Even so, according to The Sun, the Norwegian champions have been hit with a wave of problems ahead of the game, with five important players currently set to miss out due to suspension or injury.

Bodo/Glimt are already without three suspended players, including their captain and midfield general Patrick Berg.

On top of that, there are now serious doubts over centre-back Odin Bjortuft and winger Ole Blomberg.

Bjortuft, who’s played every minute of their campaign so far, was forced off in the second half of their 3-0 league win over KFUM on Sunday with a groin issue.

He’s now a major doubt for the trip to north London, while Blomberg – another key figure – missed that game entirely after picking up an injury earlier in the month.

Spurs must make Bodo/Glimt absences count

Skipper Patrick Berg, 27, is out after picking up too many yellow cards, alongside midfield partner Hakon Evjen and striker Andreas Helmersen.

Helmersen had been in good form and scored a crucial goal in their quarter-final win over Lazio – one of several big scalps Bodo/Glimt have claimed this season.

Speaking after the KFUM win, manager Kjetil Knutsen said of Bjortuft: “I do not know anything. I never enjoy a player laying down, but the medical staff are looking into it.”

Tottenham have to make this advantage count, especially with the home leg coming first – it’s a chance to take control of the tie before heading to Norway next week.

Spurs are gearing up for one of their biggest games of the season, with the pressure cranking up as they look to end their campaign on a high. Here’s how to watch the clash between Tottenham and Bodo/Glimt on Thursday.

Ange Postecoglou’s side find themselves at a crossroads – triumph in the Europa League may not fully secure the Australian’s long-term future, but it would certainly go a long way in boosting the club’s standing and momentum heading into the summer.

The Lilywhites face a crucial few days, with two legs against the Norwegian champions standing between them and a place in the final. It is a moment that will define Tottenham’s season, and perhaps shape what comes next.

Spurs know that success in Europe would not just add a trophy to the cabinet, but could also secure a vital spot in next season’s Champions League, offering the financial and sporting boost the club craves.

Spurs vs Bodo/Glimt team news

As for team news, both sides head into this one relatively unscathed. Tottenham will be sweating on the fitness of Heung-min Son, who remains a doubt as he continues to manage a foot injury. Meanwhile, Radu Dragusin is unavailable, still recovering from his ACL setback.

Bodo Glimt have their own problems to contend with. Andreas Helmersen, Patrick Berg and Hakon Evjen are all suspended and will miss Thursday’s match, while Daniel Bassi, though injured, has returned to training.

Spurs Web Prediction

Tottenham simply have to make their dominance at home tell. They need to be clinical against Bodo Glimt and crush any sense of belief the visitors might be hoping to take into the second leg.

If Spurs fail to do that, they could be in trouble – Bodo Glimt are no mugs at the Aspmyra Stadion, and their home record speaks for itself.

Tottenham Hotspur have just received some bad news in their pursuit of a Bundesliga star as the player is now reportedly the subject of strong interest from several Saudi Pro League sides.

It will be interesting to see the kind of reinforcements that Spurs make to their forward line, which has underperformed for much of the season.

It has been reported by various outlets over the last month that Tottenham are plotting a move to sign Kingsley Coman, who has just one year left on his contract at Bayern Munich.

It emerged last week that Arsenal have shown the most serious interest in Coman, and the Lilywhites have been handed further bad news in their pursuit of the Bayern man.

Saudi clubs prepared to spend big on Kingsley Coman

It has now been revealed by Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg that the Frenchman now has his sights on a move to the Middle East.

This is after all of the top four Saudi Arabian clubs expressed an interest in signing him, with the journalist explaining that they are ready to spend €50m (£42.5m) on the 29-year-old.

Plettenberg adds that Kingsley Coman could earn a whopping €25m (£21.2m) a year in Saudi Arabia, and while he makes no mention of Tottenham Hotspur, he says that Arsenal remains a ‘concrete option’ for the winger.

George Abbott has been handed the English Football League’s Goal of the Season award, and the Tottenham youngster admits he never thought he would win an award for his goalscoring exploits.

While some youngsters struggle to cope with the pressure that comes with playing in the EFL on loan, others thrive under the added expectations.

That is exactly what has happened with Tottenham Hotspur’s George Abbott, who has won many admirers in his first taste of senior football at Notts County.

The 19-year-old’s consistent displays at the base of the side’s midfield have been crucial to their promotion push, with Abbott even being nominated for the League Two Player of the Year award.

George Abbott wins EFL Goal of the Season award

The teenager is thought of highly in Tottenham academy due to his versatility, technical quality and tactical intelligence, but he has shown another string to his bow this season, regularly making contributions in the final third.

Abbott has scored six goals and provided seven assists across all competitions this term, and almost all of his goals have been superb strikes rather than tap-ins.

Undoubtedly, the best of the lot was his fine strike against Accrington Stanley back in January, with the Spurs loanee running onto a looping corner kick and connecting beautifully with a volley, which sailed into the top corner.

That strike has now been deemed the best goal of the campaign across the EFL, with Abbott taking home the prestigious award.

George Abbott admits ‘special’ feeling to win the award

The youngster remarked that it was a matter of huge pride to take home the award, admitting that the goal against Accrington Stanley was straight out of the training ground.

The teenager also spoke about his tendencies to score worldies and how his shooting has improved from last season.

Watch Abbott’s interview after being awarded the big prize:

Bodo/Glimt warmed up for their huge Europa League clash against Tottenham Hotspur in the best way possible. Let’s see how the Norwegian side got on this weekend.

The Europa League is back this week, with Tottenham Hotspur set to lock horns with Bodo/Glimt at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday, 1 May 2025.

Coming into this clash, Glimt had already stunned one of the tournament favourites, Lazio – not in the most straightforward fashion, but they still got the job done, winning 3-2 on penalties.

Tottenham, meanwhile, saw off Eintracht Frankfurt, edging a 1-0 win at the Deutsche Bank Park after a 1-1 draw at home.

Ahead of Thursday’s clash, both sides returned to league action. For Spurs, it was a painful afternoon – a dismantling 5-1 loss to Liverpool.

But for Bodo/Glimt, it was a different story entirely. Here’s how they fared at the weekend.

Bodo/Glimt seal comfortable win ahead of Tottenham clash

Coming into Thursday’s clash, Kjetil Knutsen’s side will be buoyed by their convincing 3-0 win in the Eliteserien Round 4 tie against KFUM.

That 3-0 victory means Glimt remain unbeaten in their domestic campaign, with three wins and one draw from their opening four fixtures.

The win against KFUM came at Glimt’s home ground – a place where they’ve yet to taste defeat in Europa League knockout matches this season.

It being a home tie also allowed their main man, Hogh, to shine – bagging a brace with goals in the 80th and 87th minute (penalty).

Spurs handed big boost with Bodo/Glimt injuries and suspensions

While Glimt head into this semi-final on the back of a morale-boosting win, there are a few issues that could make things tricky for the Eliteserien champions.

Bodo/Glimt will be without some key players when they take on Spurs in the Europa League. Captain Patrick Berg is suspended after picking up too many yellow cards, and his midfield partner Hakon Evjen, is also ruled out for the same reason.

Adding to their woes, Andreas Helmersen, who scored a vital goal against Lazio, is suspended after his red card in the previous round.

Tottenham will be hoping to make these absences count when they welcome Glimt under the lights on Thursday night.

Amidst reports that Tottenham Hotspur are plotting a move for a young EFL starlet, who only recently made his senior debut for his club, a pundit has now advised the player to snub Spurs’ interest and remain where he is.

The Tottenham hierarchy will undoubtedly be very happy with the impact that Archie Gray has made in his first season at the club following his switch from Leeds last summer.

It emerged last week that Spurs are now plotting to raid Elland Road for Archie’s younger brother, Harry Gray, who made his senior debut for Daniel Farke’s men in their 6-0 trashing of Stoke City last week.

The update claimed that even though Arsenal had also expressed an interest in the 16-year-old striker, Tottenham Hotspur are favourites to land him this summer.

Pundit tells Harry Gray not to rush into Tottenham transfer

EFL pundit Don Goodman believes that Tottenham will likely be joined by a whole host of Premier League clubs in the race for Harry Gray, admitting that he has been hearing special things about the young forward.

However, Goodman insisted that at this stage of his career, the teenager’s priority should be to get regular game time, which is why he advised him to remain at Leeds.

When asked about Tottenham’s interest in Harry Gray, the pundit told Football League World: “Personally, I don’t think Spurs are going to be on their own when it comes to high-end clubs scouting Harry Gray.

“The reports coming out of Elland Road are sensational, in that this could be a very special talent, maybe even more so than his brother Archie, which would be an incredible feat.

“At the moment though, it’s about playing football week in, week out and learning your trade. I think if Spurs did sign him, you would imagine it would be possible that they would loan him back to Leeds or a team where he would play regular first-team football.

“At that age, you need a slow, considered introduction to football, where you’re not overworked, but you get plenty of opportunities at first-team level. That, for me, would be the best thing for him.”

Could Spurs use Manor Solomon to push through Harry Gray deal?

Tottenham may have one ace up their sleeve in the negotiations for Harry Gray, as it has been widely reported that Leeds want to secure Manor Solomon permanently ahead of their return to the Premier League.

The Yorkshire club may find themselves in a transfer tussle as Solomon is also wanted by Everton and Southampton this summer.

Tottenham may perhaps use their interest in the Israeli international to potentially steal a march on other suitors for Gray and get a favourable deal.
