Spurs Web

Tottenham Hotspur are now reportedly ready to break their transfer record to land Eberechi Eze after learning the attacking midfielder’s stance on a move to N17.

It was reported at the start of this week that Eze is in favour of a move to Tottenham after the Lilywhites made advances towards the Crystal Palace star.

However, since then, various sources have reported that Spurs face plenty of competition for Eze’s signature, which complicates their pursuit of the 26-year-old.

According to a new report, the North Londoners are now ready to steal a march on the competition and sink a defining blow in the race for the England international.

Tottenham are prepared to meet Eberechi Eze’s release clause

This report comes from TEAMtalk, who claim that Tottenham Hotspur are now ready to meet the Palace star’s £68m release clause, which would make him their club-record signing, beating out the £65m they paid for Dominic Solanke last summer.

The outlet states that Eze is enthusiastic about a move to North London, with the player drawn by the growing excitement around Thomas Frank’s vision for Spurs.

Frank is now convinced that the Eagles man is the ideal fit for his side after the Lilywhites failed to get a deal over the line for Bryan Mbeumo, who is expected to join Man United.

The former Brentford boss sees Eze as a versatile addition, who is capable of playing off the flank and complementing James Maddison in a dynamic attacking setup.

Spurs are now keen to act swiftly to tie up a deal for the attacking midfielder, with Frank making it clear to the club that he wants time to integrate new signings into his system ahead of the new season.

Spurs confident of landing Eze amid strong Crystal Palace stance

TEAMtalk say that Spurs are confident of winning the race for the Palace man after learning about his openness to join the project.

The outlet backs up what we have heard from other sources, stating that the South London club are willing to accept the £68m clause in several instalments.

However, the Selhurst Park hierarchy have made it clear that the first upfront payment must be close to £45m for them to sanction the deal.

The report adds that Eze is described by sources as ‘incredibly professional’ and he will not do anything to force a move away from Palace if they cannot reach an agreement with Tottenham.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly turned down several advances to sign one of their young guns, who had an outstanding season out on loan in 2024-25.

Several Tottenham Hotspur youngsters have impressed out on loan across various divisions last season, but no player has arguably seen his stock rise as dramatically as Jamie Donley.

The 20-year-old was a linchpin of the Leyton Orient side, driving their promotion push, which ultimately ended in heartbreak in the League One Play-Off final, with Charlton Athletic emerging 1-0 winners against the O’s.

The attacking midfielder scored eight goals and provided 10 assists in 39 league appearances and Donley even came in for praise from Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham yet to decide on Jamie Donley’s future

However, the youngster will now have to win over a new manager and coaching staff when he returns to Hotspur Way, with Postecoglou having been replaced by Thomas Frank.

It was claimed by TBR Football last week that Frank could retain Donley as a part of his first-team plans next season.

It has now been revealed by Football.London’s Alasdair Gold that Spurs have already turned down several loan offers for the midfielder.

Gold explains that Spurs have done this at the request of Frank, who wants to work with Donley in training during pre-season.

However, the journalist does not rule out the possibility of the Spurs academy graduate being loaned out, revealing that Tottenham will ‘reassess’ the youngster’s situation later in the summer.

Thomas Frank will also watch two other Spurs youngsters closely

It has also been reported recently that Tottenham have rejected loan advances for Luka Vuskovic as Frank wants to take a closer look at the Croat during pre-season.

Frank has also reportedly told Spurs to reject offers for Ashley Phillips for the time being, with the Dane not ruling out using the youngster in his first-team plans for the upcoming season.

Several of Tottenham’s young guns thus have a great opportunity to catch the 51-year-old’s eye in pre-season, and they will be keen to make an impression.

Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a boost in their rumoured pursuit of Timothy Weah as the Juventus wide man has now rejected the chance to join Spurs’ Premier League rivals.

Weah is an extremely versatile player, capable of playing as a conventional right-back, a wing-back or even as a winger. Premier League managers always need players who can cover a range of positions when fixtures start coming thick and fast.

He primarily played in attack for Juventus last season and proved his effectiveness in the final third, scoring six times and providing five assists.

It first emerged last week that Tottenham had set their sights on Weah, whose future at the Allianz Arena is in doubt this summer.

It was reported a few days ago Spurs face competition from some of their Premier League rivals for Weah, but it turns out that the Lilywhites now have one less competitor to worry about.

This is because Fabrizio Romano has taken to social media to reveal that the USA international had turned down the chance to move to Nottingham Forest.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s men submitted a proposal to Juve and started negotiations with the Serie A giants, but the 25-year-old has now decided that he does not want to move to the City Ground.

Three more clubs ready to challenge Tottenham for Timothy Weah

Just because Forest are now out of the race for the wide-man, does not mean that Spurs have a free run at Weah this summer.

Some sources over the last week have named Everton, RB Leipzig and Atletico Madrid could challenge Tottenham for Weah this summer.

The same update explained that Juve will not let the American leave on the cheap, but it is unclear as of now, based on these updates, what the Italian club’s asking price is.

Mousa Dembele has heaped praise on a former Tottenham teammate, naming him as one of the best players he played alongside during his career.

Mousa Dembele is one ex-Spurs man who has often been described as underrated by several Tottenham players and footballers in general.

Morgan Gibbs-White, who never played with Dembele, had the Tottenham man in his top two ‘street will never forget’ players in the Premier League.

Alex Iwobi went as far as to call Dembele the toughest opponent he has faced, stating that the Belgian is even tougher than Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Mousa Dembele praises former Tottenham striker Harry Kane

Of course, Tottenham are currently in dire need of a midfield destroyer in the mould of Mousa Dembele.

And with Dembele having dominated the five-a-side baller league a few days ago, Spurs might well be tempted to look his way again, even in retirement.

While the Belgian is often on the receiving end of praise, he has now returned the favour to one of his former teammates during a conversation on TikTok with Rubyn Singh Gill.

When asked to name the best player he had played with, Dembele highlighted former Tottenham striker Harry Kane as a ‘quality’ footballer he thoroughly enjoyed playing alongside.

He said: “I played with players like Kevin De Bruyne, Hazard, Harry Kane and even more good players.”

“I think Kevin was [the best], even Harry Kane. I loved Harry as well. Different players, they all had their charm and their quality, so it is difficult to compare Kevin with Harry. But they are crazy players.”

Why Harry Kane remains a standout figure at Spurs

Of course, Kane is a Tottenham legend and an elite-level footballer, one capable of doing it all on the football pitch.

Not only was the England captain capable of finding the back of the net, he also had an eye for a pass, often setting up his teammates, particularly Heung-min Son.

Archie Gray has revealed the four Tottenham players he would take into a five-a-side war with him – and there is a surprise inclusion at full-back.

Since Archie Gray made the step up from the Championship to the Premier League last season, the youngster has impressed, having made 46 appearances for Tottenham, with many of those being out of position.

The youngster is currently out on international break with the England Under-21s. But Tottenham fans have been left frustrated, as Gray has been used out of position by Lee Carsley and was even benched in both the quarter-final and semi-final ties.

Regardless, the player’s potential remains, and with Thomas Frank at the helm, having been a big fan of Gray when he was at Brentford, there is a feeling that next season will be a crucial one for the young midfielder.

Archie Gray picks Heung-min Son and Tottenham trio in dream five-a-side team

Gray could get his hands on another piece of silverware this summer, as England have progressed to the final in the Under-21 European Championship.

A clash against Germany awaits, and should England win, Gray would become a European champion at both club and international level.

With a final still to come, Gray has been speaking with the media and opened up about his dream five-a-side team – a team that includes a whopping four Tottenham players.

Unsurprisingly, the young midfielder’s choice in attack was Heung-min Son, the Tottenham captain who Gray believes is ‘world-class’. Vice-captain James Maddison was also included, as well as goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.

However, interestingly, one of Gray’s picks from Tottenham was £20 million-rated Djed Spence, who, just like the midfielder, was signed from the Championship, although it was back in 2022.

Gray’s final five-a-side team was: Vicario in goal, Heung-min Son and James Maddison up top, alongside Summerville and finally Djed Spence in defence.

Gray will want to fight like Djed Spence this summer

Of course, Spence is only just 24 years old, but the versatile full-back has had his share of struggles in football, having been outcast from the Tottenham squad under Antonio Conte.

However, Spence showed resilience and some fighting spirit last campaign and got his career back on track after a few standout displays in the absence of Destiny Udogie.

Gray pretty much finds himself in a similar situation in the England national team, as he has now started the last two games from the bench, despite having a few starts in the eleven.

If the young midfielder is to get back into the team, a similar attitude shown by Spence will be needed.

William Gallas has lifted the lid on Gareth Bale’s iconic Tottenham hat-trick against Inter Milan, revealing Harry Redknapp’s masterplan before the tie.

Gareth Bale is a Tottenham Hotspur legend and an iconic figure in north London, thanks to his impressive displays in the early part of his Spurs career, after joining from Southampton.

The Welshman did struggle to impress during the first few months at Tottenham, as he was winless for 24 league games, a record at the time – later broken by Oliver Burke in 2020.

Yet, things still turned out well for Bale as he went on to have a much better campaign the following season, and he never looked back from there.

William Gallas shares how Gareth Bale destroyed Inter Milan

Bale believes that the difficult moments at Tottenham shaped his career, but so did the good ones, as he eventually earned a big move from north London to Madrid after a series of standout displays.

Of course, one memory that lives long in the minds of many Tottenham fans is the Welshman’s iconic hat-trick against Inter Milan in the Champions League group stage back in 2010.

That performance from Bale retired Maicon and left Samuel Eto’o stunned, according to Sebastien Bassong, and now William Gallas has opened up on how the Wales international managed to achieve that feat.

Gallas has stated that he was not surprised by Gareth Bale’s performance on the night, revealing that the manager Harry Redknapp’s instructions were a key reason for the winger’s brilliance.

He highlighted how Redknapp looked to capitalise on Bale’s pace, before comparing the Wales international with prime Thierry Henry of Arsenal.

He told Prime Casino: “Gareth Bale’s hat-trick vs Inter did not surprise me, because Harry Redknapp had told us all to get the ball to him every chance we had.

“He had so much pace and we knew he was the player to make the difference, it was like Thierry Henry at Arsenal in his prime. Henry did that hundreds of times for his team.”

Gareth Bale’s Tottenham career and Cardiff City ambition

Of course, Bale has since retired from football after winning all there is to win at club level, including five Champions League titles.

Despite his love for golf, the former Tottenham man has now turned his head to matters off the playing field, as he looks poised to return to English football.

Just a year on from securing the services of Archie Gray from Leeds United, Tottenham have now reportedly raided Elland Road for another one of the brightest academy starlets.

While Gray arrived at Tottenham with a reputation as one of the brightest young talents in the EFL, many would have expected the youngster to have a difficult first season at the highest level, especially given he only had a year of senior football under his belt before his big move.

Instead, the teenager looked completely unfazed by the challenges that have been thrown in front of him this season, thriving out of position as a centre-back during the club’s injury crisis.

It is due to the maturity that he has shown that Archie Gray has already been touted by pundits as a future Tottenham legend.

Spurs will certainly be pleased with how the 19-year-old has developed at N17 and it turns out that they have now decided to raid Leeds for another youngster who is being tipped for big things.

Tottenham agree fee for Leeds United striker Oliver Boast

According to reports, 16-year-old Leeds academy striker Oliver Boast is about to follow Gray to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The youngster has already played for Leeds’ Under-21 side and has scored three times for England’s Under-16s.

In the 2024-25 season, Boast found the back of the net nine times in 18 appearances in the Under-18 Premier League, causing many talent spotters to stand up and take notice of his development.

The Athletic reporter Beren Cross has taken to social media to reveal that Tottenham have now agreed a seven-figure fee with the Yorkshire club for the centre-forward’s transfer.

Why Spurs fans should welcome the signing of young talent like Boast

A lot of Spurs fans want to see the club move away from their approach of signing talented young starlets and pursue readymade stars ahead of Tottenham’s return to the Champions League.

However, Tottenham’s lack of homegrown numbers and club-trained numbers are well documented, and addressing that issue needs long-term planning.

The best way to do that is by attracting top young talent to the Spurs academy at a young age and giving them the platform to develop and eventually push for a first-team spot.

With the new Premier League season now less than two months away and with pre-season fast approaching, Tottenham have confirmed the ticketing details and on-sale dates for the forthcoming season, including the pricing category of each fixture until Christmas.

Tottenham’s fixture list for the 2025-26 season is now out, and it is fair to say that the Lilywhites have not got the easiest of starts to the campaign.

Thomas Frank’s men face a ‘month of death’ from mid-October to mid-November as they face Aston Villa, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal within a space of a few weeks.

It promises to be an exciting start to the campaign as Spurs embark on a new era and the club have now confirmed the ticketing details for the first round of fixtures until gameweek 19.

Tottenham ticketing details and price categories revealed

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed on their official website that, as has been the norm over the past few years, tickets will be sold across seven dedicated on-sale windows throughout the season.

They have revealed that each sales window will consist of two or three fixtures and that One Hotspur Members will continue to get priority access.

The clashes against Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle United, and Arsenal have been priced as Category A fixtures.

The fixtures against Aston Villa, Burnley, Fulham, West Ham United, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, Brighton, Leeds and Everton are priced as Category B, with the remaining four fixtures priced as Category C.

Thomas Frank has a challenging start to his Spurs reign

Before Spurs’ Premier League season gets underway, there is a small matter of the UEFA Super Cup final, with the clash against PSG in Udine set to be Frank’s first competitive game in charge of the Lilywhites.

Tottenham face an extremely tight turnaround after the Super Cup, with the Lilywhites having just three days between the clash against PSG and their Premier League season opener against Burnley on August 16.

Tottenham Hotspur now have a big problem to deal with in their pursuit of Eberechi Eze as a new report has revealed that Arsenal have now turned their sights towards the Crystal Palace star.

The Lilywhites have already been handed a bitter transfer blow by their North London rivals over recent days, with Arsenal expected to beat Tottenham to the services of Christian Norgaard.

Over the last few days, plenty of outlets have claimed that Spurs are keen on bringing Eze to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the 26-year-old thought to be keen on making a move to N17.

It has even been claimed that Tottenham may make a player-plus-cash offer to tempt Palace into selling Eze, but Thomas Frank’s men now have an additional hurdle to overcome.

Arsenal ready to challenge Tottenham for Eberechi Eze

In what comes as a blow to Spurs, it has now been revealed by talkSPORT that the Gunners have added Eze to their list of left-wing targets.

The outlet confirms that Tottenham are now keen on landing the Eagles star after facing defeat in their pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo, who appears to be on his way to Man United.

However, the Lilywhites may now have to battle their bitter local rivals for Eze, with Arsenal thought to be eyeing him as a cheaper alternative to Real Madrid star Rodrygo.

The publication backs up what we have heard from numerous other sources by revealing that Eze’s release clause stands at £68m, including add-ons.

However, it has been alleged by various publications that Palace are ready to accept Eze’s release clause in three instalments, which makes the deal easier for his suitors to complete.

Tottenham and Arsenal are also battling it out for Rodrygo

It is an interesting twist that Eze has been identified by Arsenal as an alternative for Rodrygo, according to this update.

This is because, over recent days, it has emerged that Tottenham Hotspur are ready to challenge Arsenal for Rodrygo’s services.

Real Madrid are expected to demand €90m (£77m) for the Brazilian, who is thought to be intent on leaving the Santiago Bernabeu in search of regular game time.

Tottenham Hotspur are now considering an audacious move for a Real Madrid forward who is considering exiting the Spanish giants this summer but they will have to overcome competition from two of their fiercest rivals to land the superstar.

Some sources indicate that Spurs are prepared to back Thomas Frank with big money this summer as the club looks to signal their ambition at the start of their new era.

Daniel Levy even asserted that Tottenham’s eventual ambition is to win the Premier League and the Champions League, but Spurs fans will be keen to see their chairman put his money where his mouth is.

It turns out that the Lilywhites are considering doing just that by pushing ahead with a move to land a superstar from the Santiago Bernabeu.

Tottenham are interested in Real Madrid star Rodrygo

According to Cadena Ser, Tottenham have now entered the race to sign Real Madrid forward Rodrygo.

The Brazilian scored six goals and six assists in 30 league appearances last season, but he started just over half of the club’s La Liga fixtures.

It is asserted that Rodrygo is now unhappy with his lack of game time and is considering leaving the Spanish capital, with Tottenham Hotspur competing with their London rivals, Arsenal and Chelsea, for his signature.

It is suggested that the Gunners were first to eye a move for the 24-year-old but Mikel Arteta’s men have now been joined in the race by their two London rivals.

Real Madrid’s asking price and Rodrygo’s stance revealed

The outlet says that the versatile winger, who is capable of playing across the front three, is now ‘exploring the Premier League‘ amidst the interest in his services.

It is stated that Real would ask for around €90m (£77m) for the Brazilian this summer, which would represent a club-record transfer for Tottenham, outstripping the £65m they paid for Dominic Solanke last summer.
