Tottenham Hotspur may have to speed up their pursuit of Yoane Wissa if they wish to land the Brentford star, as it has now emerged that a fellow Premier League side are now turning their attention to the striker.

Thomas Frank has already added firepower to the Tottenham Hotspur attack this summer, with the Lilywhites securing the permanent signing of Mathys Tel and swooping for Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United.

However, with Richarlison continuing to be linked with an exit from Spurs, the club may need to land a number nine to offer competition to Dominic Solanke.

Over the last few weeks, several outlets have claimed that Tottenham could push ahead with a move for Yoane Wissa, with Frank reportedly keen on bringing the striker to N17.

Premier League giants may enter the race to land Wissa

However, The Daily Mail have now suggested that Spurs could soon have competition to contend with from Liverpool for Wissa’s signature.

Tottenham fans need not panic just yet as the outlet explains that the Premier League champions are currently prioritising a move for Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak or Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike.

However, the Reds have reportedly identified alternatives in case they are unable to get a deal for the Swede over the line, with Wissa being among the names on their wishlist.

That means that Tottenham may need to act quickly if they do not want to risk missing out on the Bees star, with Newcastle United also keen on Wissa.

Yoane Wissa is keen on a move to Tottenham

It has been reported that Brentford are desperate to stop Wissa from joining Spurs, with their new head coach, Keith Andrews, seeing the centre-forward as a vital part of his plans.

However, it was revealed by talkSPORT a few days ago that Wissa is keen on reuniting with Frank at Tottenham this summer.

The outlet claimed that despite attracting interest from the likes of Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest, a move to N17 is the DR Congo international’s preferred option.

Jamie O’Hara believes Morgan Gibbs-White should consider taking legal action against Nottingham Forest, following the club’s decision to block his move to Tottenham.

Tottenham Hotspur are said to be looking to complete the permanent signing of Morgan Gibbs-White before their pre-season tour of Asia.

The Lilywhites are expected to fly to the Middle East in the next 11 days, which leaves them racing against time to get the deal for Morgan Gibbs-White over the line.

Nottingham Forest are reported to be adamant that they will keep hold of the midfielder, although reports suggest that Gibbs-White’s representatives remain confident that he will complete a move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Jamie O’Hara urges Gibbs-White to sue Nottingham Forest

While Nottingham Forest have reportedly filed legal complaints against Tottenham, it is also possible for Morgan Gibbs-White to explore taking legal action against Forest, according to recent claims.

Former Spurs midfielder Jamie O’Hara has now told Grosvenor Sport that he believes Morgan Gibbs-White should sue Nottingham Forest, following the club’s decision to block his transfer to Tottenham.

O’Hara has urged the England international to go to the PFA, sue Forest and refuse to train. O’Hara even labelled the club’s handling of the situation as disgraceful and disgusting.

“Morgan Gibbs-White should go to the PFA, he should sue Nottingham Forest, and he should refuse to train,” he said. “I think Forest are a disgrace, the way they have dealt with the situation is disgusting.

“He has signed a contract and there is a release clause of £60 million in there. He knows it is in there, his agent knows it is in there, and Nottingham Forest know that it is in there. He has agreed to that contract on those terms. Whether he has become a better player at Forest, that is worth more than £60 million, that is on him.

On Morgan Gibbs-White’s release clause being triggered by Tottenham, O’hara added: “Now, when someone finds out about the release clause, which happens every day in football – people find stuff out and agents talk – Nottingham Forest suddenly decide they cannot have that, and the clause is confidential.

“What do you mean confidential? It is a release clause in a player’s contract; he is entitled to know about it and tell people about it. What is going on here?

“Evangelos Marinakis has had an absolute stinker and his club are going to lose Morgan Gibbs-White for £60 million because he has done better than they expected and someone found out.

“It is a disgrace. A player can tell who he wants about his contract, he has earned it, and they were all happy to sign it at the time. Now suddenly it is illegal – what on earth are they on about? It is disgusting.”

However, the Morgan Gibbs-White to Tottenham transfer saga continues to rumble on, with no definite end in sight, even if the player himself has set a deadline.

Nottingham Forest still risk losing Morgan Gibbs-White to Tottenham

Tottenham fans have been left frustrated with the constant back-and-forth between Forest and Spurs, leaving many to call for the club to explore alternative midfield targets.

Reports emerging today, however, claim that Tottenham are looking to finalise dealings with Forest this week, which offers a rare bit of optimism in what has been a tense saga.

Three Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, are weighing up a move for a Manchester United outcast, who has been told to find a new club following a fallout at Old Trafford.

Tottenham Hotspur are expected to continue strengthening their squad, even after completing the signings of four players so far in the summer transfer window.

Mohammed Kudus completed his move to N17 on 10 July, while Tottenham also moved swiftly to wrap up a deal for Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White 48 hours later.

However, despite Tottenham having activated Gibbs-White’s £60million release clause, the transfer has been held up due to legal action taken by Forest against the Lilywhites.

Tottenham join race for Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho

Tottenham are still expected to remain active in the current window, with reports suggesting that Spurs are still targeting a midfielder, a forward and a promising young talent.

Reports from the Daily Mail now state that Tottenham are among several clubs monitoring Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho, who is now available for transfer.

The Argentine wide man has reportedly been told to seek a new club after falling out with Ruben Amorim, who dropped him from the Europa League final starting line-up – a decision that sparked an internal altercation.

Still, Tottenham continue to monitor the situation of the young winger who grabbed an impressive 21 goal contributions in 58 appearances, scoring 11 goals and assisting ten times.

Spurs joined by Chelsea and Aston Villa in Garnacho pursuit

Chelsea and Aston Villa are also believed to be assessing whether to make a move for the 21-year-old winger.

Although Garnacho was previously valued at around £70million, it is understood that any buying club would now expect to negotiate a significantly lower fee, following his fallout with Manchester United.

Atletico Madrid have been linked with a return for their former academy prospect, while Manchester United are said to have rejected an offer from Napoli for Garnacho back in January.

Tottenham’s interest in Adam Wharton has come with a reality check, as Crystal Palace have made their valuation of the midfielder abundantly clear.

Tottenham Hotspur are understood to have a clear roadmap for their next moves in the transfer market, particularly if they manage to finalise a deal for Morgan Gibbs-White this summer.

A midfield addition appears to be on the cards for Spurs, though there is still uncertainty over whether the profile will be that of a traditional holding player. Alongside this, the club are also keeping tabs on a promising youngster and a forward.

Adam Wharton, who joined Crystal Palace from Blackburn Rovers in January, has been a name linked with Spurs throughout the window, and now, fresh insight has emerged regarding the club’s stance on any potential pursuit of the 21-year-old.

Tottenham unlikely to meet Crystal Palace’s £100m valuation for Adam Wharton

Graeme Bailey, speaking to TBR Football, has revealed just how much it would take for Tottenham to prise Wharton away from Crystal Palace and Spurs’ stance on a Wharton transfer this summer.

According to Bailey, Palace chairman Steve Parish would demand a fee in the region of nine figures for the midfielder to depart South London this summer.

It is stated that at this stage, Tottenham are not believed to be willing to match such a valuation, while Wharton himself is not actively pushing for an exit after an inconsistent campaign last season.

He said: “Adam Wharton is not leaving Crystal Palace this summer. What I have been told from the Palace end is that it would take an astronomical amount of money to get him out.

“Obviously, these things change very quickly, but we are hearing at the moment that if you were to go to Palace and Steve Parish, you would be looking at over £100 million.

“I do not think anyone is willing to do that for Adam Wharton this summer, as it stands. He is a player Tottenham likes, but I think he is one who they will address again, just not this summer.

“I do not believe the player is in a massive rush to get out either, because he had a very stop-start season last term.”

Tottenham may regret missing out on £22m Adam Wharton deal

Of course, Tottenham had the chance to sign Wharton from Blackburn Rovers back in 2023, but chose not to pursue the deal, which allowed Crystal Palace to swoop in and complete the transfer.

The Tottenham hierarchy may now be left ruing their indecision, given that Wharton was valued at £22 million at the time, a figure that now looks like a bargain in hindsight.

Bailey added: “Tottenham have a very good scouting system in England. Tottenham knew all about Wharton, and they were interested in it, as alluded to a long time ago.

“Tottenham probably have some regret about not moving for him because, as we have seen with the likes of Bergvall and Gray, they are willing to roll the dice on these younger players.

“At the time, the ball sat up nicely for Palace, and it was in a sweet spot for them to grab him, which they did.”

Mohammed Kudus is already starting to feel at home at Tottenham, with a handful of experienced heads quietly playing their part in helping the new arrival settle quickly into life at Hotspur Way.

Tottenham Hotspur will be pleased to have finally secured the signature of Mohammed Kudus, after bringing him in from West Ham United for £55million.

The transfer saga was far from straightforward, as Spurs had to endure three rejected bids from the East London side before a fourth offer was eventually accepted.

Now bedding into life at N17, Kudus has completed his first week of pre-season training, where he looked sharp and full of energy, even leaving Destiny Udogie behind for pace on one occasion.

Mohammed Kudus bonding with Tottenham players in pre-season

While the new signing could feature on Saturday in Tottenham’s first pre-season fixture against Reading, it was the club’s behind-the-scenes training footage that offered an early glimpse into how Kudus is settling in at his new club.

In Tottenham’s official video, experienced defender Ben Davies was spotted having a chat with Kudus. The pair were in the gym ahead of training, seated on exercise bikes, and appeared deep in conversation as the 24-year-old listened on attentively.

Davies, who has been at the club for over a decade, seems to be playing the mentor role in these early days, with his calm presence clearly appreciated by the Ghanaian forward.

Mohammed Kudus was also seen sharing moments with a number of his new Tottenham teammates throughout the session, including Djed Spence, Yang Min-hyeok, Heung-min Son, Cristian Romero and Guglielmo Vicario, as several players chipped in to make sure the Ghana international felt included from the off.

In an early rondo drill, Kudus and Djed Spence enjoyed a moment of freedom, exchanging around ten unchallenged touches between them before Kudus eventually shifted the ball back across the circle, and Spence appeared to find the whole situation rather amusing.

Following a short-sided game that switched to larger goals, Cristian Romero approached Kudus with a grin, said a few words, and gestured with his hands, leading to Kudus smiling.

Mohammed Kudus has ruffled feathers in East London, and his latest remark about Tottenham has raised more than a few eyebrows, especially for former West Ham United boss Alan Pardew.

It is far from common to see a player make a switch from West Ham United to Tottenham Hotspur, with the last of such deals happening back in 2011, when Scott Parker did.

However, this summer, for the first time in over a decade, West Ham and Tottenham have done business once more, with Kudus switching East London for North London after a £55 million fee was agreed.

The Ghana international has been settling into life at N17 pretty well and has even begun training with the Tottenham squad.

Of course, the Tottenham defenders have already got a glimpse of what Kudus is about, with the winger leaving Destiny Udogie behind with his blistering pace.

While Tottenham fans are delighted with their first statement signing of the summer window, West Ham United supporters were left fuming when Kudus made the switch to Tottenham, with many labelling him a traitor and even downplaying his achievements.

Their frustrations were compounded even further when Kudus made a comment that Tottenham fans would love, stating that his heart beats Tottenham.

During his medicals, when the doctor said, “I am just going to listen to your heart, okay?” Kudus replied: “You will find Spurs there.”

Former Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew has now opened up on the comments of the former West Ham winger, labelling them disrespectful.

Stelling originally said: “A few days ago, he could hear the Hammers, could he not? Inside that heart. 13th of September, West Ham against Spurs, I bet he will get a hot reception back there.”

Pardew replied: “When you move football clubs, it is very very important to show a bit of respect, do you know what I mean?

“And that is disrespectful, what he has done there. I do not think he actually meant it, I think it was just a jokey throwaway line, and unfortunately for him, it is going to turn out more than that.”

Kudus set for fiery West Ham return with Spurs

Of course, it would not be long before Tottenham and West Ham meet next season, with a clash set for the 13th of September.

Many of the Hammers fans already seem to take Tottenham as their rivals, with many not too happy about their club selling one of their better players to Spurs.

Kudus’ words would not go down well with them and when Tottenham go visiting the London Stadium on 13th September, we can expect a feisty atmosphere.

Morgan Gibbs-White remains keen on moving to Tottenham Hotspur, and he has now set a clear deadline for when he wants the move to be completed.

Nottingham Forest are continuing to fight to stop Tottenham from landing Gibbs-White for £60m after the Lilywhites met his release clause last week.

The main bone of contention for the Midlands side is that they believe Spurs made an ‘illegal’ approach to the player and have obtained information on his release clause, which was meant to be confidential.

Football finance expert Stefan Borson believes that Spurs now need to pay more than £60m to land Gibbs-White as they would need to cover potential losses that the Midlands club have incurred as a result of the clause being made public.

Gibbs-White wants his future resolved in next few days

The Daily Mail have now revealed that the attacking midfielder has shown an ‘exemplary attitude’ in training since the start of the week.

Gibbs-White has allegedly spoken to the Forest hierarchy and is hopeful that his club and Tottenham will find a solution.

The 25-year-old wants the issue to be resolved by Monday, which is when Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad fly out to Portugal for their pre-season training camp.

The outlet says that the ball is in Tottenham Hotspur’s court at the moment, and Thomas Frank’s men have discussed making a second offer worth £65m.

However, no such offer has arrived yet at Forest, and it is unclear whether it would even be enough to clinch the transfer.

Morgan Gibbs-White could force a move to Tottenham

The big question now is what the midfielder will do if the two clubs do not resolve the issue by Monday.

According to Sky Sports reporter Rob Dorsett, Gibbs-White may have the legal right to force a move to Tottenham, given that his release clause has been met.

However, journalist Ben Jacobs has said that Gibbs-White is unwilling to agitate for a move to Spurs as he does not want to leave Forest on bad terms.

It will be interesting to see if the midfielder’s stance changes if the Tricky Trees do not soften their hardline stance over the coming days.

Tottenham look set to offload one of their young talents before the transfer window closes, with talks progressing quickly.

Tottenham Hotspur have had a mixed transfer window so far, with incomings already through the door, including the statement signing of Mohammed Kudus.

The Lilywhites’ window would have felt a lot better had they finalised the signing of Morgan Gibbs-White just 48 hours after the Kudus deal, but the move has since been delayed.

There is more business expected from Tottenham before the window shuts on 1 September, with Spurs reported to be targeting a striker, a midfielder and a young talent this summer.

Tottenham agree fee with Luton Town for Josh Keeley

Outgoings have been few and far between, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg one of the sales to have fetched Tottenham some income, having been sold to Marseille for £17 million.

Spurs have also saved £15.6 million in annual wages following the expiration of contracts of four former players.

Football.London are now reporting that Tottenham are closing in on another summer sale, with Spurs said to be in advanced talks to sell young goalkeeper Josh Keeley to Luton Town.

MORE SPURS STORIES

It is understood that a fee has been agreed with the League One side, and a sell-on clause is expected to be included in the deal, as Spurs believe Keeley could develop into a Premier League shot-stopper in the future.

Tottenham Hotspur are currently well-stocked in the goalkeeping position, with Guglielmo Vicario their first-choice shot stopper, while Kinsky serves as his understudy and academy graduate Brandon Austin is the club’s third-choice option.

Josh Keeley expected to join Luton after Leyton Orient loan

Josh Keeley did have an impressive stint out on loan at Leyton Orient, having helped guide them to the play-off rounds for promotion, but they fell short after suffering defeat at the hands of Charlton Athletic.

The 22-year-old managed 16 clean sheets last season with the O’s and even grabbed a goal during Leyton Orient’s FA Cup run.

Tottenham Hotspur remain interested in landing a highly-rated Serie A centre-back, and they are currently locked in a three-horse race for his signature.

Based on reports over the last week, it appears Tottenham have successfully warded off Atletico Madrid’s interest in Cristian Romero.

However, that does not mean that the Argentine is destined to stay, as there have been some murmurs over recent days that Real Madrid could turn their attention towards Romero.

It was first reported at the start of the summer that Spurs were one of several clubs keen on landing Genoa defender Koni de Winter, who had allegedly been identified as a potential replacement for Romero.

A little over two weeks ago, Corriere dello Sport asserted that Tottenham have moved to the front of the queue to land De Winter, but it has now emerged that the Lilywhites are no longer the favourites to win the race for the Belgian international.

Tottenham are in a three-horse race for Koni de Winter

Gazzetta dello Sport have now backed up the claim about the North Londoners identifying the Genoa star as a potential Romero replacement.

However, Thomas Frank’s side will not find it easy to land De Winter, who is also thought to be on the wishlist of both Inter Milan and West Ham United.

It is alleged that the Nerazzurri have already held talks with Genoa regarding a deal for the 23-year-old, but the move is not close to being finalised.

West Ham have also ‘sounded out’ the versatile centre-back as the race for his signature heats up.

Inter Milan have an advantage over Tottenham for De Winter

Gazzetta say that the Belgian defender would prefer to remain in the Serie A next season, which might give last season’s Champions League runners-up an advantage over the two London sides.

However, the outlet also adds that Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham are willing to pay €25m (£21.6m) for De Winter, and it is up to Inter to equal that.

Alasdair Gold has now revealed what Thomas Frank has told the Tottenham hierarchy about Morgan Gibbs-White as the Lilywhites find themselves mired in a legal standoff with Nottingham Forest over the attacking midfielder.

According to reports, Nottingham Forest are standing their ground and continuing to insist that Gibbs-White will not leave despite Tottenham meeting his £60m release clause.

The Midlands club have alleged that Spurs’ approach is illegal and they are furious that the Lilywhites found out about the midfielder’s confidential clause.

What poses a real issue for Tottenham is the fact that the Premier League have not given a timeframe to resolve the Gibbs-White issue, which means that North Londoners might not know how long this legal tussle will take to be resolved.

Some Spurs fans are already fed up with the Gibbs-White transfer saga and have suggested that it might be time for the club to look at other alternatives.

Thomas Frank is extremely keen to have Morgan Gibbs-White on board

While some supporters might be growing frustrated with this saga, it appears that Thomas Frank is still extremely keen on adding the 25-year-old to his squad.

Alasdair Gold has revealed that the Tottenham head coach views the Forest star as the ‘perfect’ number 10 for his system, given the creativity and energy that he possesses.

Speaking about Gibbs-White, Gold said on his YouTube channel: “Privately, he was a player we’ve spoken about in the past about Spurs liking him. Thomas Frank wanted him at Brentford years back when he was at Wolves.

“He’s a player he believes is perfect for his set-up. Creativity, number 10, but also high energy and an approach made sense for all parties.”

Tottenham’s stance on the Gibbs-White controversy

Experts have continued to suggest that Gibbs-White is likely to end up at Tottenham this summer despite Forest’s attempts to stop the deal.

Gold has now explained that Spurs maintain that they have not acted illegally in this case and continue to be keen on landing the former Wolves man.

The journalist added: “We’re going to have to officially wait for this to run its course. What that course is, we shall find out because privately, Tottenham Hotspur are believed to feel they’ve done nothing wrong. They still want to sign the player.

“I mean, what does Morgan Gibbs-White want to do? Well, certainly from what we understand, he’s been turning down attempts from Forest for a fair few months to talk about a new contract.

“They want to give him a big new contract, make him one of, if not the top earner at the club with either removal of this release clause or a renegotiation of it. But he has thus far not entertained such talks.”
