Spurs Web

A new report from Italy has shed light on recent developments over Dusan Vlahovic’s future and the big step Tottenham have to take to land the Juventus star in January.

Over the last two months, no player has been more heavily linked with a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium than the Serbian international.

Several Italian outlets have named Tottenham as Vlahovic’s most likely destination in January, with some sources suggesting that Spurs can land the Juventus striker for just £13m.

However, it was pointed out by journalist Dean Jones last week that the change in management at Juventus may put Vlahovic’s departure in doubt, and a reliable Italian publication has now provided an update on the matter.

Main concern Juventus have about Dusan Vlahovic as Tottenham circle

It has now been revealed in Gazzetta dello Sport that Luciano Spalletti’s arrival at the Allianz Stadium has indeed ignited hope that the 25-year-old could stay.

In fact, Vlahovic started for Juventus in their Champions League clash against Sporting Lisbon on Wednesday and found the back of the net, while he also impressed against Cremonese last weekend.

However, the report explains that the main concern at the Binaconeri about the centre-forward is financial.

Vlahovic is currently on a massive €12m (£10.5m) per season contract at Juve, and his wages are said to be weighing heavily on the Serie A giants’ accounts.

What Spurs need to offer Vlahovic to convince him to join

Gazzetta say that Tottenham are not alone in their admiration of the striker, with Bayern Munich and Barcelona also keeping an eye on his situation.

The outlet claims that Vlahovic’s decision could ultimately depend on how his relationship with Spalletti develops over the next two months.

One experienced Tottenham star’s future at the club hangs in the balance ahead of the January transfer window, as transfer priorities are set.

Given the injuries that Tottenham have had this season, one senior Spurs man had a great opportunity to make himself undroppable, but he has failed to deliver.

Even though Richarlison has six goal contributions in 10 Premier League games this term, the numbers do not tell the full story, with his form tailing off completely after a good start to the campaign.

This has led to speculation that Tottenham could cash in on Richarlison in January, and it has now been revealed that there is no shortage of interest in the striker.

Over the last few weeks, some outlets have said that Spurs will wait until next summer to cash in on Richarlison, insisting that the Lilywhites will not consider a sale mid-season.

However, journalist Graeme Bailey has now claimed that the North Londoners will be open to offloading the 28-year-old in January as long as they bring another striker through the door.

Bailey told TBR Football: “There is interest in Richarlison — he decided not to leave last summer, as he focused on game time for Tottenham and winning his spot in the Brazilian squad. Thomas Frank likes the player, and he has six goal contributions in six league starts — showing he is capable of operating in Frank’s style.

“Tottenham are looking at new strikers, but whether it happens in January remains to be seen. We believe the left wing and centre-back positions to be priorities at this point, but very much next summer [they could sign a striker].

“As it stands, Tottenham are not convinced by their current options, both Richarlison and Dominic Solanke, and we are yet to see if Randal Kolo Muani will be their answer. But I am told Tottenham are still in that place of assessing their squad and the forward line is a big part of that.”

Richarlison could return to his former club in January

It has been reported by some publications that Everton are considering re-signing Richarlison, three-and-a-half years after selling him to Spurs for £60m.

Last week, TEAMtalk claimed that Richarlison would jump at the chance to return to the Toffees if David Moyes’ men made a move for him in January.

The report added that the Brazilian still feels loved by the Everton supporters but explained that the Merseyside club are yet to make a final decision on whether to push ahead with a move for the Tottenham man.

Tottenham Hotspur are plotting a move for Inter Milan star Yann Bisseck, and a new report has shed light on the fee that the Nerazzuri will demand for the player in January.

It has been widely reported over the last month that Spurs are working to add a centre-back to their squad in the January window, given the fitness record of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero.

Several Premier League centre-backs have been linked with a move to N17, but it has emerged that the Lilywhites are also eyeing a young defender who has been extremely consistent in Serie A.

A couple of days ago, Gazzetta dello Sport claimed that Tottenham are considering making a move for Yann Bisseck, who has not been a regular in the Inter starting eleven this season.

How much would Tottenham have to pay for Yann Bisseck?

Tottenham’s interest in the 24-year-old is now new, with reports indicating back in the summer that Spurs explored a swap deal with Inter involving Bisseck and Radu Dragusin.

A new report in Fichajes has now claimed that Inter need to sell players to balance their books and revamp their squad in the upcoming transfer window.

The report says that the Nerazzuri are thus open to letting the German international leave, with Tottenham Hotspur named as the ‘main candidates’ looking to sign him.

The outlet claims that Inter are demanding €50m (£44m) for Bisseck, but an offer of around €35m (£30.8m) may be enough to price the centre-back away from the San Siro.

Spurs face competition from London rivals for Bisseck

Fichajes say that the Premier League is the Inter defender’s most likely destination in January as the player wants to test himself in England.

However, Tottenham are not the only Premier League club after the 24-year-old, with Crystal Palace also expressing an interest in taking Bisseck to Selhurst Park.

The publication adds that the former Koln man is thus at a crossroads, and has to make a big decision between fighting for his place at Inter or taking up a new challenge in London.

Tottenham Hotspur have been backed to spend big in January, and the club are expected to make a move for a Brazilian superstar if he becomes available.

The left-wing role has been a problem area for Spurs, with Wilson Odobert and new signing Xavi Simons struggling to produce consistent performances in the position.

To address the issue, it has been suggested that Tottenham could turn to a Real Madrid star, who was heavily linked with a move to N17 back in the summer.

It was reported by TBR Football a few days ago that Spurs could rekindle their interest in Rodrygo, who is looking for an exit from the Santiago Bernabeu.

Tottenham are ready to spend a club-record fee on Rodrygo

Journalist Dean Jones has now said that Tottenham are determined to show their intent with statement signings over the next couple of transfer windows.

He explains that strengthening their attack is a priority for Spurs, predicting that they will act if Rodrygo or Juventus’ Kenan Yildiz become available.

Jones told TEAMtalk: “Before the January transfer window opens, I think we will get a better realisation of how high Tottenham are ready to set the bar when it comes to making new signings.

“It is a difficult window to make a statement signing, but I would expect us to get a good idea soon of their intent in terms of where they are going to take the club in 2026 and beyond.

“I already reported about the wide attacking targets being an area of priority, and that absolutely is the case, and they have been drawing up names over the past two weeks. But even as part of that, they realise that some of the names are probably going to be off-limits in the next transfer window.

“I really think Spurs will seek to make some of the biggest signings in their history. They have to be careful as part of that because there will be a chance that with new investment comes a new premium that you are asked to pay for talent.

“But if the likes of Rodrygo at Real Madrid or Yildiz at Juve become a genuine possibility in January or in the summer, then I think Spurs will put themselves in the picture.”

Spurs will face competition from Premier League rivals for Rodrygo

The update from TEAMtalk claims that the Real Madrid star is keen on testing himself in the Premier League, but the Lilywhites are expected to face competition for his signature.

Liverpool are said to be eyeing Rodrygo as a potential long-term replacement for Mohammed Salah, while Man City are also admirers of the pacy winger.

Additionally, it has been suggested by other sources that Arsenal are also prepared to battle Tottenham for the 24-year-old in January.

The Dusan Vlahovic saga continues to have twists and turns, and there may be a few more to come regarding the Tottenham target ahead of January.

A few weeks ago, Tottenham were installed as the favourites to land Vlahovic in January when it appeared clear that the striker would be leaving Turin.

However, journalist Dean Jones previously warned that Luciano Spalletti’s arrival at Juve may make things difficult for Spurs, and that is exactly how things are panning out.

The Serbian has led the line for the Bianconeri in their last five matches, and he found the back of the net in their 1-1 draw against Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Tottenham target Dusan Vlahovic is now considered ‘indispensable’ by Luciano Spalletti

A new report in Corriere dello Sport (as relayed by Sport Witness) says that the 25-year-old’s situation at the Old Lady has now completely changed.

It is revealed that Vlahovic was close to an exit in the summer, but since Spalletti walked through the door, he has found himself being heavily involved.

The outlet alleges that the striker has become an ‘indispensable’ part of the Juve starting XI even though he has just six months left in his contract.

However, that does not mean that Vlahovic is guaranteed to stay at the Allianz Stadium in January.

Vlahovic has made a key demand amidst Spurs interest

Corriere say that while Juventus are open to renewing Vlahovic’s contract, that would only be possible if he reduces his salary demands.

The Bianconeri need to keep their wage bill under contract, given their current financial situation, and are not in a position to offer what the centre-forward is demanding.

However, Vlahovic continues to demand a ‘top salary and signing-on bonus’ and there is no indication that the former Fiorentina man is likely to reduce his demands.

Tottenham Hotspur have made advances towards a Premier League centre-forward ahead of the January window, but they face competition for his signature.

It has been widely reported that Spurs are keen to add a number nine to their squad in January, and that is understandable, given the issues that Thomas Frank’s men have had up front.

According to some sources, the Lilywhites have set their sights on a 24-year-old centre-forward who has scored six goals in 11 Premier League matches and is second only to Erling Haaland in the race for the Golden Boot.

Tottenham are allegedly eyeing a move for Brentford star Igor Thiago, who has done brilliantly for Kieth Andrews’ men since the departure of Yoane Wissa in the summer.

Reports in Trivela and ESPN Brazil have now confirmed that the Brazilian forward is on the North London club’s radar.

It is revealed that Spurs have already made enquiries about Thiago’s availability and his price, but they are not the only ones interested.

Newcastle United and Aston Villa are also fans of Thiago and have made advances towards him ahead of the January window.

However, it is asserted that Brentford are expected to fight to hold on to their top scorer after having lost a lot of goals in the summer through the departures of Wissa and Bryan Mbuemo.

Brentford boss has given a hands-off warning to Spurs about Thiago

Thiago’s stock is now rising rapidly, but the West London club have already clarified their stance on the player ahead of January.

Last week, Kieth Andrews issued a hands-off warning to Spurs and Thiago’s other suitors, insisting that the Brazilian is going “nowhere”.

Whether the Lilywhites will be able to make a lucrative enough offer to change Brentford’s minds remains to be seen.

Tottenham have been dealt a fresh injury concern as one source provides a further update on the condition of Randal Kolo Muani.

Tottenham Hotspur’s clash against Manchester United at the weekend saw Thomas Frank’s men pick up a hard-fought point, but the game also came at a cost with a few injuries sustained.

Randal Kolo Muani was withdrawn at half-time after picking up a knock, while Cristian Romero also suffered a late blow in the closing stages.

Thomas Frank had initially delivered a positive update on both players, suggesting the injuries were not too serious, but new information now paints a different picture regarding the fitness of Kolo Muani.

It was revealed earlier today that Kolo Muani had sustained a jaw injury, which was expected to be more serious than first feared, with the Frenchman even reported to have withdrawn from the French national team squad.

A further update from content creator Chris Cowlin has now shed more light on the situation, detailing the potential length of Kolo Muani’s absence.

Cowlin explained that the striker could face a spell on the sidelines, and depending on the severity, it might be longer than initially anticipated.

He said: “Randal Kolo Muani is expected to be out of action for around 6-8 weeks. If surgery is required he could be out for a number of months.”

Major setback for Spurs and Kolo Muani

It is certainly a major blow for Kolo Muani, who has had to endure a tough start to life in north London, with injuries repeatedly halting his momentum.

The Frenchman missed the early part of the season with a dead leg that was not initially thought to be serious, yet he ended up spending over a month on the sidelines.

With the Tottenham forward now set to miss several weeks, or possibly months, this loan spell could easily turn into one of the more disappointing ones for the club.

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are big fans of one Tottenham Hotspur man, but the North London club have made their stance on the player very clear.

Following the departures of Harry Kane and Heung-min Son, Tottenham do not have many world-class players in its squad.

However, two who would definitely fit into that category are their centre-back duo of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven.

Romero signed a long-term contract with Spurs in the summer, and it has been widely reported that the Lilywhites also want to tie down Van de Ven to a new deal quickly.

It appears that they cannot do that fast enough, as the interest in the Dutchman’s services is now growing.

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain want to poach Micky van de Ven from Tottenham

A new report in TEAMtalk has now claimed that Real Madrid remain keen on Van de Ven, with the Los Blancos’ interest in the centre-back described as ‘genuine’.

The 24-year-old’s blend of pace, aerial dominance and ball-playing ability has made him an attractive target to the La Liga giants, who see the player as a long-term successor to their ageing defensive core.

With veterans like Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba nearing the end of their careers, it is said that Van de Ven fits the profile of a modern, versatile defender who would fit like a glove in Xabi Alonso’s system.

Madrid’s scouts have been impressed by the Tottenham star’s composure and his ability to pocket top-class forwards, but they are not alone in the pursuit.

PSG are also described as ‘long-time admirers’ of Van de Ven, having been fans of him since his Wolfsburg days. They are now monitoring his situation closely as they dream of pairing him with Marquinhos at the back.

Spurs are resolute in their stance over Van de Ven

Despite the growing interest in the centre-back, Tottenham remain resolute in their wish to hold onto him.

The club view Van de Ven as a world-class defender and a symbol of their project under Frank. In fact, sources close to Spurs insist that they have ‘zero intention’ of parting ways with the Dutch centre-half.

However, the outlet warns that Spurs may have to qualify for the next Champions League to avoid losing the Netherlands international, who has ambitions to play at the highest level consistently.

Tottenham Hotspur are trying to come up with ways to overcome the roadblocks to landing Ivan Toney from Al-Ahli in January.

Regular readers of Spurs Web will be aware of the speculation over recent weeks suggesting that Tottenham want to offer Toney a route back to the Premier League.

In fact, last month, Thomas Frank himself said that he would be happy to work with Toney at Tottenham.

However, over the last two weeks, a number of sources have suggested that the former Brentford striker is not in a hurry to return to the Premier League and that there are impediments to him leaving the Saudi club in January.

It has now emerged that there may be one route which could allow the Lilywhites to overcome those impediments.

Tottenham are exploring signing Ivan Toney on loan

According to a new report in TEAMtalk, Tottenham are now leading the race to sign the 29-year-old. The report alleges that Frank has already spoken to Toney about a move to N17.

However, it is revealed that a permanent transfer in January is off the table as not only do the Lilywhites not want to pay the £30m fee, but the centre-forward also risks a big tax bill if his lucrative Saudi contract is terminated early.

MORE SPURS STORIES

As a result, Spurs are now exploring an initial loan deal for the striker, which is the ‘only viable path’ as it allows Al-Ahli to protect their investment while allowing the England international to play at the highest level.

The report adds that the relationship between Toney and Frank remains strong, and suggests that the striker may be attracted by the fact that he already knows the Dane’s system inside out.

Spurs want Toney to replace Richarlison but they face competition

TEAMtalk say that Tottenham view the former Bees star as ‘the ideal short-term solution’ to their woes in the forward line.

The North Londoners want Toney to replace Richarlison and may even explore the possibility of inserting an obligation to buy him from Al-Ahli at the end of the season.

However, Spurs do not have a straight run at the England man, with West Ham expressing their interest while Everton are keeping an eye on the striker’s situation.

Tottenham Hotspur have been handed some bittersweet news, and it has to do with two centre-forwards on the North London club’s radar.

Randal Kolo Muani has been backed to come good by pundits after his strong performance against Copenhagen, with the striker now having earned a recall to the France squad after putting his injury woes behind him.

Dominic Solanke is also edging closer to full fitness after having ankle surgery over a month ago.

However, despite these developments, it has been widely reported over recent weeks that Tottenham are keen on adding a number nine to their squad in January.

There has now been a big update on the future of a 25-year-old striker, who has been heavily linked with a move to N17 in January.

Tottenham target Jonathan David has not impressed the new Juventus manager

According to some reports, Spurs have launched an inquiry for Jonathan David, who has struggled to produce the goods since his summer move to Juventus, having found the back of the net just once this season.

A new report in Gazzetta dello Sport has now revealed that the Canadian international has failed to win over the new Juve boss, Luciano Spalletti.

MORE SPURS STORIES

The outlet says that David is going through a ‘downward spiral’ in Turin and, having fallen further down the pecking order, a January exit is thought to be on the cards for the player.

The outlet points out that the Bianconeri may be happy to get the striker’s €6m (£5.2m) per season salary off their wage bill, and adds that Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are both circling over the former Lille man.

A blow for Spurs in their pursuit of a Fabio Paratici favourite

The premise of this update by Gazzetta dello Sport is the fact that Dusan Vlahovic has moved ahead of David in the Juve pecking order, and the Serbian is now more likely to stay.

This comes as a bitter blow to Tottenham, who have been named as Vlahovic’s most likely destination in January, if he were to leave the Allianz Stadium.
