Lille are at risk of losing one of their key men ahead of the new season, and they have identified a Tottenham player as their number one replacement.

While all signs at Tottenham Hotspur are that Guglielmo Vicario is set to continue as the club’s number one, we have already seen plenty of change in the goalkeeping department at the club this summer.

Fraser Forster left the club after his contract ran out, while academy goalkeeper Josh Keeley has completed a permanent move to Luton Town, with the move catching many Spurs fans by surprise.

It has now emerged that another goalkeeper may be on his way out of North London after a French club set their sights on him.

Lille are keen on signing Antonin Kinsky from Tottenham

According to a report in L’Equipe, Lille are now at the risk of losing their number one, Lucas Chevalier, who has expressed a desire to move to Paris Saint-Germain.

PSG have made an opening offer of €40m (£34.7m) for the 23-year-old, and while that is expected to be turned down by Lille, they are now in very real danger of losing the French goalkeeper to the Parisians, who are expected to return with an improved offer.

As a result, Les Dogues have started searching for a replacement for Chevalier, and they have identified Antonin Kinsky as their top target.

The Czech goalkeeper only arrived at Spurs in the January window from Slavia Prague and made 10 appearances for the Lilywhites last term, but Bruno Genesio’s men seemingly believe they can prise him away from the Premier League side.

Would Spurs be open to offloading Kinsky?

It appears unlikely that Spurs would let Kinsky leave this summer without signing a replacement, and the 22-year-old’s ability on the ball makes him a good fit for Frank’s system.

Frank’s teams like to draw the opposition in from goalkicks, and the goalkeeper is often tasked with beating the first line of press with a ball over the top to the full-back or the midfielder.

Tottenham fans have now questioned the truth behind the Morgan Gibbs-White transfer saga, with many left in disbelief following the latest reports.

Tottenham Hotspur thought they had their man. A £60million release clause, a medical reportedly booked within 24 hours – Morgan Gibbs-White looked nailed on for a move to north London.

Yet here we are, with the 25-year-old signing a new contract that ties him to Nottingham Forest until 2028. The new deal reportedly includes no release clause and no gentleman’s agreement for a future move, essentially bringing Spurs’ pursuit of the midfielder to a halt.

Gibbs-White is set to become Forest’s highest-paid player ever. Owner Evangelos Marinakis made it clear he was not impressed with Tottenham’s approach, stating publicly: “As long as I am in charge of all of these actions, approaches should take place, I repeat, in an appropriate manner” – a thinly-veiled dig aimed at Daniel Levy and the club.

Tottenham fans question the truth behind Morgan Gibbs-White transfer saga

Tottenham must now move on from the entire saga. However, further reports have emerged that appear to explain why Spurs failed to land Morgan Gibbs-White this summer.

It is being claimed that the midfielder’s release clause was complex and that Tottenham failed to meet the various conditions required to trigger it. The suggestion is that the club did not fully satisfy the terms needed for the clause to be activated.

These revelations have not gone down well with Tottenham fans, who have taken to social media in disbelief.

One fan said: “So why the fuss. B***ocks. Marinakis was buying for time. My assumption is that Marinakis had MGW and his agent by the b***s and gave them a re-sign or be sued ultimatum. MGW looking dejected in his interview, very different from his usual, always happy demeanour.”

Another wrote: “If that were the case, Forest would have rejected outright and would not have gone through the process of threatening legal action and raising a complaint with the Premier League. They would not have also forced MGW to sign a new one-year deal that presumably scraps the release clause.”

A third fan commented: “Refuse to believe any of that, why book a medical if he never wanted to leave? None of this is right.”

Another Tottenham supporter added on the Morgan Gibbs-White drama: “If this were true, it would have come out immediately, not 2 weeks later after he signed a new deal.”

The disbelief continued, with one fan saying: “So why the threat of legal action. Just say you’ve not met all the criteria. Such b***ocks”

Meanwhile, a final fan commented: “Don’t believe this for a second. This will be the narrative being pushed from the Forest end to make it seem like they blocked it legitimately”

Spurs must now refocus after Gibbs-White disappointment

It indeed feels like a massive blow to Spurs, given how it all unfolded over the last two weeks. However, while they are left without Morgan Gibbs-White, Tottenham still do have £60 million to spend on a midfielder, and that should remain the focus of the club.

Clubs do miss out on targets, but every top side has several alternatives on its list. Spurs must now return to the drawing board and continue strengthening the squad, which is still in need of significant bolstering.

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the squad for their pre-season tour of Asia, and it features a few notable omissions as well as surprise inclusions that may hint at what is to come in the weeks ahead.

Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin, who are both recovering from long-term injuries, have not been named in Thomas Frank’s squad for the Asia tour and will continue their rehabilitation at Hotspur Way.

Destiny Udogie also misses out following his late withdrawal from the recent pre-season fixture at Luton Town, which raises slight concern ahead of the new campaign.

Kota Takai, Bryan Gil and Manor Solomon are likewise staying back for treatment. Meanwhile, several of Tottenham’s young talents, including Mikey Moore, Alfie Devine and Dane Scarlett, will also remain in north London, with the trio potentially eyeing loan moves before the start of the season.

Interestingly, Frank has still opted to take a mix of senior players and promising youth, allowing certain youngsters to impress while also keeping options open in the transfer market.

George Abbott, Jamie Donley and Luka Vuskovic among youngsters included in Spurs tour squad

Thomas Frank has included five youngsters in his travelling squad as Spurs jet off for their pre-season tour, with the Dane clearly open to blending experience with youth.

George Abbott, Jamie Donley, Will Lankshear, Yang Min-Hyeok and Luka Vuskovic have all been named in the squad and will link up with the rest of the group ahead of the games in Asia.

Luka Vuskovic has already caught the eye since returning to Tottenham after spending two seasons away following his signing in 2023, while George Abbott featured in Tottenham’s clash with Wycombe in the double-header friendly on Saturday.

Jamie Donley has also continued his rise, building on an impressive loan spell at Leyton Orient last season, and was involved against Reading and Luton Town this summer in his preferred no.10 role.

Will Lankshear has made a couple of cameo appearances from the bench; meanwhile, Yang Min-Hyeok is still waiting to make his first outing this pre-season.

Tottenham youth handed tour chance but loan moves could still be on the cards

While this is an important opportunity for these young players to showcase their talents in front of Frank and the coaching staff, it does not necessarily mean they will remain in the squad when the Premier League season kicks off.

Thomas Frank is expected to assess the likes of Luka Vuskovic and Jamie Donley closely before deciding their next steps, as they are seen as the youngsters who have the best shot at staying within the first-team setup.

A larger squad is always helpful for pre-season tours, but when Spurs return to London, there is still every possibility that a couple of these youngsters could be sent out on loan later in the window, especially with the club keen to balance squad depth and developmental pathways.

Tottenham Hotspur have now tied down one of their promising young talent to a new long-term contract after an impressive loan spell last term.

Tottenham Hotspur have a few exciting prospects coming through the ranks, and this summer, fans have had the opportunity to see some of these players play during pre-season.

Jamie Donley, Alfie Devine, Mikey Moore and George Abbott are some of the youngsters who have all been handed gametime in Tottenham’s pre-season clashes in England.

Several of these young prospects were also included in Thomas Frank’s squad to tour Asia, while others were left behind to find loan moves this summer, including Mikey Moore.

George Abbott signs new Tottenham contract after pre-season tour

George Abbott, who spent a season out on loan at Notts County, is one of five young Tottenham talents to have been included in the pre-season tour of Asia.

The youngster has been given a chance to impress Thomas Frank, although that does not rule out the possibility of a loan move later this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur have now confirmed George Abbott has signed a new, long-term contract with the club. The 19-year-old is a product of the Tottenham academy, having first joined Spurs in the Under-8s.

Abbott rose through the ranks at Tottenham and was captain of the Under-21 side that won the Premier League 2 title in the 2023/24 season.

Abbott could be set for higher-level loan this season

Having spent last season out on loan in the English fourth tier, the youngster would be hoping to continue his development at a higher level if he is to head out on loan.

Securing a move to a side in the Championship or League One would be a huge step in his young career, as he continues to hone his skills on English soil.

Tottenham already have a plan in motion for Mikey Moore this summer – but what kind of loan move would actually benefit the teenage star?

On the transfer front this summer for Tottenham Hotspur, it has been a quiet few days, as no new signings have come through the door just yet.

However, in terms of outgoings, Tottenham have managed to complete a few, with Josh Keeley’s sale to Luton Town, Ashley Phillips’ loan to Stoke City, and Alejo Veliz’s loan return to Rosario Central.

Spurs are now Asia-bound, with their pre-season tour set to kick off with a clash against Arsenal in Hong Kong, China – the first ever north London derby to take place away from English soil.

Thomas Frank has since named his Tottenham squad to feature on tour, and there have been a few omissions, with one especially catching the eye – Mikey Moore.

Tottenham youngster Mikey Moore set for a loan move

Moore has featured a lot for Tottenham in the last two seasons, making his debut under Ange Postecoglou in 2024 at the age of 16 years, nine months and three days, coming on as a substitute in Tottenham’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Since then, the 17-year-old has featured 21 times for the Tottenham first team, scoring one goal and registering two assists.

MORE SPURS STORIES

This pre-season, Moore has been heavily involved, featuring in Tottenham’s clashes against Reading and Luton Town, but with the youngster not making the trip to Asia, it could suggest that he is set to embark on his first loan move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

During this summer transfer window, reports have linked Moore with a move away from Spurs, as UEFA Champions League sides show interest in the young English talent.

Borussia Dortmund have been linked with a move for Moore and are even said to be considering submitting a bid for the 17-year-old.

Juventus have also been reported to be keeping tabs on the Spurs youngster, as the Old Lady continues their rebuild under new head coach Igor Tudor.

With interest aplenty, Moore is not short of options and could very well find himself lining up in a shirt that is not the Lilywhite of Tottenham next season.

Spurs should loan Moore to one of two clubs

It was reported a few days back that Mikey Moore is open to a move away from Tottenham, as he is in search of more minutes.

Spurs are also said to be looking to hand Moore a new contract, which shows their intent not to lose one of the brightest prospects to come out of their academy.

A loan move to a side like Borussia Dortmund or Juventus could very well be an exciting prospect for the youngster, but given that Moore has little experience playing consistently in England, it might not be the best option for the teenager at this stage.

English football is different from the rest of Europe, given how physical it tends to be. Moore has to develop himself in England first if he is to break into the Tottenham first team soon.

The young talent looks a tad better than the EFL League One level, and as such, Tottenham should be looking to loan him to a tier above that.

The Championship could be a good fit for the youngster to hone his talent and quality. Spurs do have a good relationship with West Bromwich Albion, having loaned Will Lankshear and Yang Min-Hyeok to the Championship side last season.

Ryan Mason is now the head coach of West Brom, which would only strengthen the relationship between Tottenham and the Midlands club, making it a very good option for Moore to go and develop.

On the other hand, Scottish football is obviously very similar in style to the English game. It has emerged that Rangers are now the frontrunners to take Moore on loan from Tottenham this summer.

Not only would that allow Moore to get valuable first-team experience in the British game, but there is something he would get with Rangers that even Ryan Mason and West Brom could not offer.

The Spurs academy graduate would likely find himself in a title race with Celtic this season, while also playing Champions League football if Rangers qualify for the main competition.

If Tottenham can agree on a loan move that earns Mikey Moore 30+ senior matches this season, as well as experience fighting for a league title, as well as experience in Europe’s biggest competition – that sounds almost too good to be true! For us, it simply has to be West Brom or Rangers.

Tottenham has now been linked with a shock move for an Arsenal forward, with the Gunners open to cashing in on their forgotten man.

Tottenham Hotspur are actively in the market for a new centre-forward ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, as Thomas Frank looks to reshape the squad with a new attacking focal point.

Brentford’s Yoane Wissa has been mooted as a target for Tottenham, and the player is believed to be pushing for a move away, although Tottenham face competition from several other clubs for his signature.

Despite the numerous links, Spurs are yet to bring in a forward, and with the new season just weeks away, the urgency to secure one is becoming increasingly clear.

Tottenham eye Gabriel Jesus transfer from Arsenal

Caughtoffside now report that Tottenham are one of the clubs monitoring Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus this summer window.

Jesus has featured in 96 matches for Arsenal and scored 26 goals, but his time at the Emirates has been plagued by recurring injuries, which have disrupted his rhythm and availability.

European giants such as Milan and Barcelona are also believed to be monitoring the Brazilian’s situation, while interest from clubs in his homeland remains. However, any serious move is expected to come during the winter transfer window once Jesus regains full fitness.

Spurs may need to look beyond Jesus if Heung-min Son leaves

Tottenham could be forced into signing a new forward this summer if Heung-min Son departs, with Major League Soccer side LA FC reportedly interested in the South Korean international.

Son is a club legend, and any final decision on Son’s future is likely to follow the club’s pre-season tour of Asia and Korea, where he is expected to feature prominently.

Should he leave, Spurs would be left with a gaping hole in attack, and while signing a player of Gabriel Jesus’ pedigree might be tempting, gambling on another injury-prone option, especially given Richarlison’s own record, may not be the smartest move.

Let’s be honest, a transfer between Tottenham and Arsenal is never likely to happen anyway.

One club has emerged as the frontrunner to sign Mikey Moore on loan this summer, and it could see the Tottenham starlet play Champions League football this season.

Mikey Moore’s future at Tottenham Hotspur has been well reported on over the past few weeks, as the teenager could very much be heading out of N17 this summer.

It is understood that Moore is in search of gametime and is open to leaving Tottenham to get more minutes under his belt.

Spurs are also believed not to be willing to stand in Moore’s way this summer, even leaving him out of their Asia tour squad, allowing for Moore and other youngsters to work on securing loan moves away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this transfer window.

Rangers lead race to sign Tottenham’s Mikey Moore on loan

A fresh report from Matt Law of the Daily Telegraph has now confirmed that several clubs are interested in taking Mikey Moore out on loan this summer.

The journalist has revealed that there is plenty of interest in the 17-year-old from sides in the Championship. However, it is claimed that Rangers are the ones who have emerged as favourites to sign Moore on loan, and that the Scottish side is seen as Moore’s most likely destination.

His tweet reads: “Rangers have emerged as favourites to sign Mikey Moore on loan from Tottenham. There’s been a lot of interest, particularly from the Championship, but Rangers are seen as the most likely destination.”

Why Rangers move makes sense for Moore and Spurs

Moore is one of the brightest players to have come out of the Tottenham academy in recent years.

The teenager had his breakthrough moment for Spurs back in October 2024, where he made his debut for the first team at just 16, becoming the youngest ever Spurs player to do so in the Premier League.

However, the teenager has never been out on loan, and this indeed is a big moment in his professional career. Sending Moore to the Championship seems like the best option for Tottenham, as he would get some much-needed time to adapt to the physicality of English football.

Tottenham Hotspur are set to receive yet another transfer blow just hours after it emerged that Morgan Gibbs-White had signed a new contract at Nottingham Forest.

It emerged on Saturday that Gibbs-White had agreed a new deal with Forest, which came as a massive setback to Tottenham Hotspur, who had worked on the deal for the last two and a half weeks after activating the midfielder’s release clause.

Before the development, it had been reported that Spurs were confident of getting the Gibbs-White deal over the line. The North London club’s confidence might have led to them abandoning their pursuit of a Dutch attacking midfielder.

Prior to the Gibbs-White saga, Spurs had been installed as the favourites to land Xavi Simons. In fact, some sources even claimed that Tottenham had spoken to Simon’s agent about a move to N17.

Tottenham set to miss out on Xavi Simons

However, Spurs may have halted their pursuit of the RB Leipzig star after pushing ahead with a move for the Nottingham Forest man, and that has allowed their London rivals to advance on a deal for the Netherlands international.

According to various journalists, including Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are now holding ‘advanced talks’ over Simons, with negotiations between the parties said to be progressing well.

Meanwhile, Sebastien Vidal has asserted that the Blues are now ‘closing in’ on Simons, adding that the young attacking midfielder is keen on completing a move to Stamford Bridge.

Spurs fans will be livid with the club’s inaction

Over the past week, Spurs fans have been calling for the club to abandon their pursuit of Gibbs-White and pursue other alternatives.

However, Tottenham kept persisting with the deal in the hope they could get it over the line, partly driven by the fact that Thomas Frank is a huge fan of Gibbs-White.

The Lilywhites’ error in judgment now means that they could also end up missing out on Simons, who appears to be on his way to Stamford Bridge.

Alan Brazil has opined that a rumoured Tottenham target would undoubtedly strengthen Thomas Frank’s midfield, but he has urged his club to stop the player from making a switch to North London.

We know that Spurs are now turning their attention to signing a number six, with reports indicating that the Lilywhites are expected to add a defensive midfielder after offloading Yves Bissouma.

It has been reported by a number of sources over the last few days that Tottenham are considering a move for Kobbie Mainoo, whose future at Man United is thought to be in doubt.

It has been alleged that Mainoo has emerged as a realistic target for Spurs as the contract talks between the 20-year-old and the Red Devils have now hit a stalemate.

Alan Brazil urges Manchester United to keep Kobbie Mainoo away from Tottenham

Alan Brazil is in no doubt that the England international’s signing would improve Tottenham Hotspur, insisting that the Lilywhites’ midfield is in desperate need of reinforcements.

However, he suggested that Rubem Amorim’s men would be making a mistake by letting such a talented, young player leave.

When asked about the speculation linking Kobbie Mainoo with a move to Tottenham, the pundit told talkSPORT: “He’s only young, isn’t he, and if I were United I’d want to keep him, but it’s up to the manager. Amorim, he’s seen enough of him now to know if he’s his type of player, [or] not in his plans. Is he his type of player?

“I’ve always said that Tottenham’s midfield is not good enough; they need more pace in there, so the jury is out here. I’d like to see him stay at United, I’d like to see him get his career back on track, like playing every week and starting. But he could be alright for Spurs — that’s a good one that is. I’m not sure, I’m going to sit on the fence on this.”

What is the issue between Man United and Mainoo?

A couple of days ago, Dean Saunders revealed that he knows the Man United star’s agent and explained why a new contract has not been signed by the youngster.

Saunders claimed that Man United are hesitating to put Mainoo in the same pay bracket as their other midfield stars, thus potentially opening the door for Spurs and others to poach the 20-year-old.

Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to drop their asking price for Heung-min Son by nearly half to ensure that the Spurs captain gets the move that he wants.

It has been widely reported over the last week that Son could leave Tottenham following their pre-season tour of South Korea.

It emerged a few days ago that Los Angeles FC have now submitted an official offer to Tottenham for Son, but it is not yet clear what the value of their bid is.

According to a new update, the Lilywhites are now ready to drop their asking price for the forward considerably if the player decides that he wants to join the MLS club.

Tottenham ready to slash Heung-min Son asking price after LAFC approach

GiveMeSport claim that Spurs valued Son at around £35m earlier this summer as they anticipated Saudi Pro League clubs to make a move.

However, they have now learned that their captain is not keen on making a move to the Middle East and would prefer a switch to the United States.

Spurs chiefs are aware that LAFC or other MLS clubs would not be able to pay big money for Son and are thus willing to accept £15m-£20m if the South Korean signals an intention to move to America.

Tottenham Hotspur want to part ways with the player on good terms, with the MLS thought to be emerging as the most likely destination for the 33-year-old this summer.

Son will make the final decision on his future

Last week, Thomas Frank admitted that Tottenham face a ‘tricky’ decision on Son’s future, given that he has given a decade of loyal service to the club.

It has been widely reported that Tottenham will allow Son to decide if he wants to stay or leave this summer, with the Lilywhites having no intention of pushing him out the door even though he has only one year left on his contract.
