Anthony Gordon has now revealed his admiration for Tottenham captain Heung-min Son, who continues to inspire even his rivals.

Tottenham Hotspur fans, in their own right, have every reason to feel frustrated with how this summer’s transfer window has unfolded, as glaring issues within the squad have still not been properly addressed.

Yet, when placed side by side with rivals such as Newcastle United, Tottenham’s business appears to have been more effective, with the Magpies having been forced to navigate a turbulent window littered with setbacks.

Newcastle United have already missed out on targets like Hugo Ekitike, Bryan Mbeumo and James Trafford, while the future of their talismanic forward Alexander Isak now hangs in the balance, as Liverpool circle.

Anthony Gordon praises Tottenham star Heung-min Son

Tottenham and Newcastle United are set to face off on 3 August in what will be the final fixture of the Lilywhites’ pre-season tour of Asia.

Speaking ahead of that encounter, Anthony Gordon opened up on his admiration for Tottenham captain Heung-min Son during an interview with Coupang Play, revealing just how much the South Korean means to him both on and off the pitch.

The Newcastle winger’s admiration for Son goes far back, with Gordon leaving a comment of a goat emoji on one of Son’s social media posts.

When asked about it, Gordon said: “Son is one of my favourite players ever in the Premier League. He plays in my position, so he is a role model for me.

“I also spoke to him a couple of times. He texts me after games. He is a really, really nice guy, so humble, a real role model, a legend in England and in Korea. An amazing guy.”

Spurs forward Heung-min Son attracting transfer interest

Heung-min Son’s age and the natural speculation that comes with it have prompted increased rumours around his long-term future.

MLS side LA FC are reportedly keen on the Spurs talisman, with some sources suggesting a move may be edging closer, although no decision is expected until after Tottenham’s Asian tour concludes.

Tottenham Hotspur have now been alerted about the availability of a Premier League forward who pockets £7,500 per week, amid uncertainty over contract talks.

Rumours have it that Tottenham Hotspur are in the market for a striker this summer, with reports linking them with a move for Yoane Wissa.

It is understood that the Brentford man is keen on having a taste of UEFA Champions League football, and with Tottenham able to offer him that, it remains to be seen whether a move would be completed.

Spurs’ interest in a forward has now seen a Premier League player offer himself to them, following an uncertainty around his contract situation.

Tottenham alerted to Rodrigo Muniz’s availability amid Fulham contract talks

This report comes from TBR Football, who state that intermediaries of Fulham forward Muniz have had contact with a host of clubs in recent weeks, circulating his name as a possible option.

It is claimed that Tottenham are one of the clubs to have been informed of Rodrigo Muniz’s situation, which comes as no surprise given reports that the Lilywhites are actively searching for a striker.

Newcastle United and Aston Villa have also been contacted by the Brazilian’s representatives, while Leeds United are reported to maintain a long-standing interest in the player.

“Fulham have been talking to Muniz about a new deal since April, but nothing has been agreed,” journalist Graeme Bailey told TBR Football.

“His people fully believe he is worthy of fresh terms and whilst they are not done, it is no shock that other clubs are being made aware of his potential availability.”

Spurs weighing options as Muniz price tag emerges

While the player’s representatives appear to be working on a potential exit, it is understood that Fulham are also keen to extend Rodrigo Muniz’s stay at Craven Cottage.

The striker’s current deal is set to expire next summer, although Fulham hold an option to extend for a further year; however, talks are ongoing over a longer-term extension beyond 2027.

We reported a few weeks back that Muniz’s relatively modest wages could be music to the ears of Daniel Levy, as the forward currently pockets £7,500 per week.

Gabriel Agbonlahor has shared a strong opinion on Heung-min Son’s situation at Tottenham, raising doubts about his role under Thomas Frank this season.

Heung-min Son’s future remains uncertain this summer window amid interest from LAFC in the MLS, with some reports claiming that the Tottenham captain’s departure is edging closer.

Despite the rumours surrounding Son’s future, the Korean international was among several other players included in Thomas Frank’s Tottenham squad for the tour of Asia.

In fact, it is expected that Son will feature prominently in the two ties against Arsenal and Newcastle United this summer. If not, Spurs could lose a huge amount of money this pre-season due to agreements with shareholders.

Gabriel Agbonlahor questions Heung-min Son’s Tottenham role under Thomas Frank

With speculation around Heung-min Son continuing to increase, speaking on talkSPORT, Andy Goldstein asked Gabriel Agbonlahor if he thinks Son will stay at Tottenham beyond the end of the summer transfer window.

Agbonlahor did not give a definite yes or no, but was quick to point out that if Heung-min Son was to remain at Tottenham, he does not think the Korean would play as much as he did in previous campaigns.

The former Aston Villa man replied: “If he does (stay), I do not think he plays. No, I do not.

“There are other players who can play in that (left-wing) position. Kudus has looked sharp in pre-season. He did nothing for West Ham last season, but he has looked sharp. I think Spurs will do a lot better this season.”

Son will leave a Spurs legend no matter when he goes

Son is now 33 years old and the Tottenham captain is undoubtedly a legend of Spurs following his decade-long service. It would certainly not be easy for him to part with his beloved Lilywhites.

It has been reported that Son is willing to make a compromise, as suggestions state that the club captain is happy to stay in N17 until at least January, potentially leaving with six months left on his contract.

Tottenham might not be able to fetch loads of money from his departure should he remain for that long in north London, which makes this a very interesting transfer saga.

Josh Keeley is convinced that Irish sensation Mason Melia will prove a hit at Tottenham Hotspur and is excited to see the youngster link up with the North London club in January.

Spurs signed Mason Melia from St Patrick’s Athletic for £1.6m plus add-ons back in February, which is a record transfer fee for a player signed from the League of Ireland.

Despite being just 17 years old, the centre-forward has been playing week-in, week-out for the Irish club for the last two seasons, and he will link up with the Tottenham squad in January after he turns 18.

The striker has already played 80 senior matches, managing 23 goal involvements, and Melia has also made his mark in Europe, showcasing that he can perform at the top level.

Josh Keeley backs Mason Melia to thrive at Tottenham

It has been claimed that Tottenham had to fend off interest from around 60 clubs across Europe to secure Melia’s services, which shows just how highly the teenager is thought of across the game.

Keeley, who also came through the ranks of St Pat’s, has been keeping an eye on the forward’s progress and is convinced that he is going to do very well in the Premier League once he gets up to speed.

The goalkeeper, who left Tottenham to join Luton earlier this month, said about Melia’s impending arrival at Spurs (via Football.London): “I mean, he is a young lad, who has played a lot of senior games at the minute, and he is playing constantly for St Pats.

“I think him coming over, signing for Spurs and getting to know all the boys is only going to help him progress. He is going to do very, very well.”

What Tottenham have asked of Melia ahead of his January move

It has been reported by Football.London, Spurs have put Melia in a tailored conditioning programme ahead of his switch to N17 in January.

The programme has been designed to ensure that the teenager is better equipped to handle the pace, physicality and intensity of the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with Douglas Luiz over recent weeks, and now Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the future of the Juventus midfielder.

It has been reported by a number of sources over recent weeks that Tottenham are keen on adding a number six to their squad.

Several defensive midfielders have been mooted as targets for Spurs this summer, although Joao Palhinha appears to have risen to the top and is expected to have his Tottenham medical today.

One of those is Douglas Luiz, whose situation Spurs are said to be monitoring closely, with the Brazilian thought to be keen on returning to the Premier League after struggling for game time in his first season at Juventus.

Some sources have reported that Spurs officials are aware that Luiz wants to move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after speaking to the midfielder.

Fabrizio Romano has now taken to social media to confirm that the former Aston Villa man is eyeing a Premier League return as a ‘priority’ this summer.

The journalist adds that the 27-year-old’s relationship with the Juve hierarchy has broken down, and his representatives are now assessing the various options on the table.

West Ham are challenging Tottenham for Luiz’s signature

Over recent days, some sources have claimed that West Ham are now plotting a move for Luiz, who is valued at around €23m-€25m (£19.8m-£21.6m).

However, according to TBR Football, Luiz is thought to prefer a move to Tottenham over West Ham. The same update revealed that Nottingham Forest and Everton are also circling over the Brazil international.

It remains to be seen whether Tottenham would be interested in signing both Luiz and Palhinha on loan, with Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur both in the final years of their respective contracts.

Pedro Porro was involved in a small altercation with Mikel Arteta during Tottenham’s 1-0 win over Arsenal on Thursday, and Spurs fans will love what the full-back did.

As one would have expected, the game was played at a much higher intensity than what one normally sees in a friendly, being the first North London derby outside UK soil.

The Lilywhites managed to keep a clean sheet and emerge 1-0 winners thanks to Pape Sarr’s outstanding lob from close to the halfway line in the first half.

There was another charged moment in the second half, which caught many Spurs fans’ eyes as it showed the bad blood between the two sides.

The moment occurred in the 59th minute just as Pedro Porro was shaping up to take a throw-in.

Mikel Arteta came outside his technical area, blocking the Tottenham man’s path, while trying to organise his players.

Rather than politely waiting for Arteta to be done and go back into his area, Porro decided to push the Arsenal manager back and pointed to where he should be, with the Gunners boss not taking too kindly to the treatment.

Thomas Frank was delighted with one Spurs star’s performance

There was a lot to like about Spurs’ performance in Hong Kong, not least their defensive organisation, which restricted their rivals to just one shot on target through the whole game.

However, it was an attacking player that the Tottenham head coach singled out for praise in his post-match press conference.

Frank was over the moon with Mohammed Kudus’ performance against Arsenal, and predicted that the new signing will give Spurs fans a lot of exciting moments in the years to come.

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that 17-year-old Mikey Moore has completed a season-long loan move to Rangers, as the highly-rated teenager continues his development away from North London.

Tottenham Hotspur are now in Asia for their pre-season tour that will see them play against Arsenal and Newcastle United, as Thomas Frank’s side continues preparations for the upcoming campaign.

Frank’s pre-season tour squad notably excluded one of Tottenham’s brightest young prospects, Mikey Moore, and it was later revealed that this decision was made to allow the youngster, along with several others, to explore potential loan moves during the summer.

On 28 July, reports surfaced stating that Rangers had emerged as the frontrunners to sign Moore, with the Scottish side identified as his most likely destination at the time.

Rangers sign Tottenham youngster Mikey Moore on loan

Tottenham Hotspur have now officially confirmed that Mikey Moore is set to spend the 2025/26 season on loan at Scottish Premiership side Rangers.

The 17-year-old has made 21 appearances for Tottenham since making his debut in October 2024, during a Premier League clash against Manchester City.

At the time, he was just 16 years, nine months, and three days old, making him the youngest ever player to represent Tottenham in the Premier League.

Rangers have managed to beat off interest from several Championship clubs to secure Moore’s signature, with the talented attacker now looking to gain valuable first-team experience at one of Scotland’s biggest clubs – a side that will also be involved in Champions League football this season.

When talking about a potential loan move last week, Thomas Frank was full of praise for Moore and his potential at Tottenham.

He said: “It is very important. Mikey is a big talent. I am really excited about his future here at Tottenham. I think for all players, but especially younger players, they need consistent first-team football into their bodies. I think if we can find the right option, we will do that.”

Spurs youngster Moore continues development with Rangers

Moore now joins the likes of Ashley Phillips and Alejo Veliz as part of Tottenham’s crop of young players spending the season out on loan.

Reports had suggested that Moore was keen on securing a loan move this summer in search of more consistent gametime, and Tottenham have now granted that wish to support his continued development.

Mathys Tel believes this Tottenham team can go all the way in Europe, with the young winger making bold claims about the club’s potential to lift multiple trophies this season.

Tottenham Hotspur are back with the big boys this season following their recent success in the Europa League, which saw them win the entire competition.

That very triumph has now seen Tottenham make a long-awaited return to the UEFA Champions League, having not featured since the 2022/23 season.

It would be a first-time experience for new manager Thomas Frank, who has not managed in the Champions League so far in his career, and would need several of his first-team players fit and firing if he is to find success in the competition this season.

Mathys Tel sets himself high targets at Tottenham this season

Mathys Tel could very much be a key player for Thomas Frank, who greenlit the winger’s move from Bayern Munich.

Speaking to football.london, the Tottenham wide forward has now made it clear that he has high expectations for himself this season, while also expressing belief in the club’s ability to compete across all fronts. He outlined his targets in simple terms – goals, assists and silverware.

“I just want a lot of goals and assists. If we can take every trophy,” he said. “For me, Tottenham can win everything. Like I said, it is a big club. Every competition we play in we will play with a lot of energy and we will prepare for the game.”

Spurs forward Mathys Tel embraces Champions League challenge

Beyond domestic ambitions, Mathys Tel also appears to be relishing the prospect of Champions League football, and with good reason.

The winger, who has already featured in the competition during his time at Bayern Munich, believes the Champions League is the pinnacle of football – and he knows what it demands from players.

He continued: “I played two years ago [in the Champions League] and last year again. It is a big competition. I think it is the best competition in Europe and the world. When you play this competition, you need to be ready and make sure that you just go far in this competition.”

Mathys Tel has lifted the lid on Heung-min Son’s influence at Tottenham and why he chose to join the Lilywhites permanently this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur were quick to secure a cut-price deal for Mathys Tel this summer window, negotiating a £30million deal for the young Frenchman.

Tel has had to settle into life in England, in what has been a mixed couple of months for the 20-year-old who was initially signed six months ago during the winter window.

Five goal involvements in 20 appearances and a Europa League trophy are what the French U21 international has so far managed to achieve during his brief stay here.

Mathys Tel reveals how Heung-min Son has helped him settle at Tottenham

Of course, Tel would be aiming for a lot better next season and with some much-needed time to adjust to life in England under his belt, Tottenham fans have every reason to believe the young forward can improve.

Mathys Tel, speaking to Football.london, has now revealed what exactly he has been doing in the past few months while at Tottenham.

The 20-year-old has openly stated that he has spent most of his time learning from club captain Heung-min Son, saying that he talks all the time with the club legend.

“I’m talking all the time with Sonny. He has more experience than me. I just want to learn and make sure that I become better every day. He helps me every day,” he said. “Sonny is a legend. Everybody knows him. I’m very happy to work with him.”

Tel explains why he made his Spurs move permanent

While Son could leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer, following interest from LA FC, it is clear the 33-year-old still has something to offer a rather young Tottenham squad, and that is his experience and leadership.

Tel also opened up on why he decided to sign permanently for Tottenham, after his initial loan spell in north London.

The youngster stated that he is very happy about joining Spurs permanently and that he wants to write his story in a club as big as Tottenham.

He continued: “I am very happy about it. It is a big club. It is time to write this story at a club like this. I am very happy to be here and try to have more success with the club.

“It was a project I had in mind when I first joined. I just had six months here, and my time was great. Those first six months with Tottenham helped me on and off the pitch. I appreciated my time, so that is why I wanted to stay, and I am very happy.”

Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on another key signing as talks over a loan move for a Bundesliga midfielder reach the final stages.

Tottenham Hotspur have wasted no time moving on from their last transfer setback, where they lost out on Morgan Gibbs-White, after meeting his release clause and booking a medical 24 hours later.

They have since turned their attention to another midfielder, this time a traditional number six, with Joao Palhinha firmly on the radar of the Lilywhites.

New manager Thomas Frank has urged the higher-ups at Tottenham to push for Palhinha, believing that the experienced Portuguese international would be a strong tactical fit for his Spurs squad.

Tottenham close in on Joao Palhinha loan move

With things moving quickly behind the scenes, Florian Plettenberg has now taken to X to share the latest on Spurs’ pursuit of Joao Palhinha.

The Sky Sport reporter claims the defensive midfielder is now on the verge of joining Tottenham on loan, with negotiations said to be in an advanced stage and just a few formalities left to resolve.

Palhinha remains under contract at Bayern until 2028, but it appears both clubs are close to a temporary agreement that will bring the 30-year-old to north London.

Spurs agree on option to buy Palhinha as move enters final stages

Given how quickly things are accelerating, Tottenham could very much announce their fourth signing of the transfer window sometime this week or next, except there is another twist.

Palhinha could soon join the likes of Mathys Tel, Kota Takai, and Mohammed Kudus at Hotspur Way as Frank continues to reshape his Tottenham squad ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Fabrizio Romano has also shed further details on how the deal with Bayern Munich is set to be structured. It is understood that personal terms have been agreed with Palhinha for an initial loan move, but Tottenham will have a buy option clause that is not mandatory.

This comes despite the fact that Sky Sports claimed earlier today that Tottenham would not have an option or obligation to buy Joao Palhinha as part of the loan.

A holding midfielder has very much been a profile Spurs have lacked, and it now seems as though the Lilywhites would be getting in a player in that mould.
