Alan Pardew believes Harry Kane could return to the Premier League, but not with Tottenham Hotspur.

Harry Kane remains one of the finest strikers in world football, and even at 32, his finishing and overall play continue to set him apart from most forwards.

It comes as no surprise that Thomas Frank has welcomed the idea of a potential return for Kane to Tottenham Hotspur, although he admits such a move is not likely in the immediate future.

The England captain appears settled in Germany for now, with Kane himself making it clear that a move away from Bayern Munich is not currently on his mind.

Alan Pardew predicts Premier League return for Harry Kane but not to Tottenham

With two years left on his contract and the possibility of being available for less than £60 million, speculation surrounding Kane’s future has only intensified.

The England captain’s pursuit of Alan Shearer’s all-time Premier League goalscoring record remains a key talking point, and Alan Pardew, speaking on talkSPORT, shared his view on the matter.

Tottenham reportedly hold the first right to re-sign Kane in 2026 should he decide to leave Germany, but Bayern Munich’s sporting director has refused to rule out the prospect of Kane extending his stay in the Bundesliga.

The former Newcastle United manager believes Kane could yet return to England to chase the record, but not in a Tottenham shirt.

“Yeah, I can see that. But you think he’ll do it in a Spurs shirt, not another shirt. I think Man United,” Pardew said.

Kane’s record chase and Spurs’ transition under Frank

Harry Kane is just 48 goals shy of breaking Alan Shearer’s record, with the England captain having scored 213 times in the Premier League with Tottenham compared to the Newcastle legend’s 260.

Tottenham, meanwhile, are in a period of transition under Thomas Frank, with the club making steady progress after their Europa League triumph and recent investments in the squad.

Tottenham Hotspur are starting to take shape under new boss Thomas Frank, and now, one Spurs star has caught the eye of Manchester United legend Paul Scholes.

Tottenham Hotspur’s start to life under Thomas Frank has not exactly been plain sailing, but it has certainly been steady.

Frank has tightened things up defensively, and as a result, Spurs remain unbeaten in their last seven matches since Bournemouth snatched a win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League.

Spurs head into the international break sitting third in the Premier League table, and there is a growing sense of optimism around the club. But Paul Scholes has now named a Tottenham player as one he absolutely loves to watch.

Paul Scholes hails Tottenham defender Cristian Romero

While Jermain Defoe has been impressed by Mohammed Kudus’ performances out wide, it is Tottenham centre-back Cristian Romero who has caught Scholes’ attention.

The Argentine was handed the captain’s armband following the departure of Heung-min Son and has already delivered several standout displays this season.

Speaking on The Overlap Fan Debate, Scholes could not hide his admiration for the Spurs defender, saying: “I love Romero, me. I think he’s a nutcase, isn’t he? It’s brilliant. I love watching him.”

Romero’s importance to Spurs this season

Romero is sure to play a vital role for Tottenham if they are to achieve anything meaningful this season.

The Argentine spent large parts of the last campaign sidelined through injury, but when he returned, he quickly re-established himself as one of Spurs’ best performers, particularly in the Europa League.

Xavi Simons is beginning to feel the weight of expectation at Tottenham, with one journalist now insisting he is not the type of playmaker many believe him to be.

Adapting to life in the Premier League is never straightforward, and Tottenham Hotspur’s latest recruit, Xavi Simons, is finding that out already.

The Dutchman has endured a somewhat difficult start to his first campaign in England, registering just one assist so far despite arriving with high expectations.

The fixture against Leeds United marked his first start through the middle in the Premier League since completing his move, and Jermain Defoe described Simons’ display in that role as his most promising performance yet.

Journalist claims Xavi Simons will not be Tottenham’s playmaker

Journalist Suleyman Ozturk, speaking to Voetbal International, has now claimed that Simons is being misunderstood tactically, arguing that he is not a playmaker in the traditional sense.

The Dutchman was brought in primarily to cover for James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, both of whom have been sidelined with long-term injuries, leaving him tasked with filling a creative void in Tottenham’s attack.

“I also notice that, especially in the Netherlands, if an English newspaper reports that Xavi Simons is not playing well, it is immediately quoted on football websites,” Öztürk said.

“He is an interesting player; he is one of our players we are keeping a close eye on. Because, of course, yes, there are many fellow club members, but these days everything is news.

“Do not forget that he was signed for a lot of money, of course. We are talking about the top of the Premier League. And then excelling in your first match is something only a few can do. You are talking about the Woltemades of this world. But Xavi Simons is incredibly young. He has a new manager, new teammates.

“And you also have to consider, what is Xavi Simons’ strength? And at Leipzig, at some point, the team was adjusted for him. But this is a completely different reality. And they expect him to have a bit of a Maddison-like role. But he is not Maddison. Maddison is a playmaker. Xavi Simons is not a playmaker or any other type of playmaker.

“And I think the coach still has to figure that out. You have, of course, the Ghanaian player who came from home and really plays like a shot. Kudus, yes. I think we need to give Xavi Simons time to make that adjustment to the Premier League where you really have much less time to think. And that takes some getting used to.”

Xavi’s adaptation and the road ahead at Spurs

Simons will need time to adapt to the pace and physicality of the Premier League, and Tottenham supporters must be patient as Thomas Frank works out how best to utilise his talents.

While there have been calls for Simons to be deployed centrally, it is worth noting that he has spent a greater part of his career playing from the left flank.

The 22-year-old has featured as a left winger more frequently than as an attacking midfielder, although the numbers suggest he is far more effective when operating through the middle.

In 51 appearances as an attacking midfielder, Simons has been directly involved in 40 goals, scoring 22 and assisting 18. On the left, he has contributed 18 goals and 18 assists in 61 appearances, while his output across other positions remains modest.

Tottenham Hotspur are set to face tough competition from Europe’s elite in pursuit of a summer defensive target who could be available on a free transfer.

The winter transfer window is edging closer with just two months left before it officially opens, and Tottenham Hotspur could very well be active once again.

The club has been linked with several players in recent weeks, and Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace remains one of the standout names on Spurs’ radar.

However, securing the England international will not be straightforward. The Palace defender has drawn attention from some of Europe’s biggest clubs, and Tottenham’s hopes of landing him could face stiff resistance.

Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich rival Tottenham for Marc Guehi

Marc Guehi’s current contract with Crystal Palace is due to expire next summer, meaning clubs can begin formal talks over a pre-contract agreement should he fail to extend his stay at Selhurst Park.

According to Florian Plettenberg, Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are all understood to be monitoring Guehi closely, each considering a move for the 25-year-old centre-half.

Liverpool remains determined to bring Guehi to Anfield on a free transfer, with ongoing discussions already taking place.

The Reds’ interest is described as “very concrete”, while Barcelona are said to hold a similar level of intent. Meanwhile, Guehi is also understood to be waiting on Real Madrid’s next steps, with the Spanish giants yet to make a formal approach.

Tottenham’s previous advantage over Liverpool fades amid growing competition

Earlier reports suggested that Tottenham had edged ahead of Liverpool in the race for Guehi; however, that advantage seems to be fading.

The Palace defender was reportedly set for a Liverpool medical last summer, but the deal fell through after Oliver Glasner failed to secure a suitable replacement in time.

Guehi was believed to favour a switch to Liverpool in the last transfer window, with the Palace man having rejected a lucrative offer from Spurs in the process.

Tottenham Hotspur have continued to attract interest from potential investors in recent weeks, and a finance expert has now revealed what the club could realistically be worth on the open market.

Tottenham Hotspur have not been short of interest in recent weeks, with several consortia reportedly trying to acquire the club from ENIC.

The club’s stance, however, has remained firm, with officials adamant that Tottenham is not for sale, even after Daniel Levy’s departure.

Brooklyn Earick, who was rumoured to be exploring a £4.5 billion offer for Spurs, has now ruled out making a formal takeover bid after his informal expression of interest was “unequivocally rejected”.

Finance expert Kieran Maguire reveals Tottenham’s true market value

PCP International Finance Limited, along with a consortium led by Dr Roger Kennedy and Wing-Fai Ng, also saw their approaches turned down last month.

But how much are Tottenham really worth? Speaking to BBC Sport, football finance expert Kieran Maguire shared his insight on what would represent fair market value for the North London club.

Maguire drew comparisons with other Premier League clubs to explain his estimate, saying that Tottenham’s revenue levels suggest a multibillion-pound valuation.

“Chelsea went [for] five times their revenue,” he told BBC Sport. “Spurs’ revenue is probably in the region of £550m to £600m. You multiply that by five and you are probably looking at somewhere just short of three billion pounds.

“But when Manchester United were partially acquired by Sir Jim Ratcliffe a couple of years ago, for every pound of revenue, they were valued at around about seven. You apply that to Spurs and you are probably looking three and a half to four billion.”

Why Tottenham remain an attractive prospect despite on-pitch struggles

Spurs have not achieved the level of success many fans desire on the pitch, and plenty would rightly point to a lack of ambition from ownership as the root cause. However, they remain a highly appealing proposition for potential investors.

Maguire explained why Tottenham’s infrastructure and financial management make them particularly attractive to buyers.

“Anybody buying Spurs, they have already future-proofed a lot of the spending that you might have to consider,” Maguire told BBC Sport.

“It is about as future-proofed a stadium as you could possibly hope for. The training facilities have also had huge investment.”

Off the field, Tottenham’s history, global appeal and commercial potential continue to strengthen their profile as a modern football business.

“They do not have PSR (profit sustainability rules) worries because they do keep their costs low,” Maguire said. “If you are going to put money into Spurs, all of that money is going to go on to the playing side of things. You have also got the London factor, which makes it very attractive. Spurs as a business proposition are very, very attractive.”

The pictures posted by an international team’s football account show one injured Tottenham man training with his national teammates.

Over 30 Spurs players are on international duty and will be involved in 46 fixtures cumulatively across the globe during the international break.

Radu Dragusin was expected to be part of a six-player first-team group that would train at Hotspur Way, with the Romanian still recovering from his ACL injury.

Dragusin’s agent has said that the centre-back will be back in action in around a month, as he has been advised by doctors not to play for eight months after his ACL injury.

Tottenham defender Radu Dragusin has linked up with the Romanian squad

Last week, it emerged that Tottenham convinced Romania not to call up Dragusin for the upcoming international break, even though the national team wanted to have the 23-year-old in their squad.

The North London club did not want to take any risks with the defender’s recovery, and their request was respected, with the former Genoa man left out of the squad for their upcoming clashes against Moldova and Austria.

However, it turns out that the Tottenham Hotspur man has linked up with the Romania squad even though he has not been picked to play.

On the Romanian national team’s Instagram account, there is a picture showing Dragusin doing gym work, with the caption: “The Dragon is back! Nearly returning from the long-term injury he suffered, Radu Dragusin came to Mogosoaia to encourage his colleagues and for a workout in the gym.”

When will Dragusin return to full training at Spurs?

Dragusin has been pictured with the Tottenham team in some training drills over recent weeks, but he is not back in full training just yet.

Football.London report that the crux of the defender’s rehabilitation has now been completed, and the medical staff are taking things slowly as they want to avoid any potential setback.

The outlet adds that Dragusin will now step up his recovery and will return to full training within the next few weeks.

Tottenham supporters are buzzing after news broke of a £100 million investment into the club, with fans already drawing up dream signings ahead of the January transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur’s majority owners, ENIC, are finally showing some ambition following the injection of £100 million, which is expected to be made available to Vinai Venkatesham and his technical staff.

Spurs had their first major taste of success on the pitch last season since 2008 when they lifted the Europa League trophy in Bilbao, Spain, a triumph that has sparked a new wave of optimism across the club.

Tottenham are now looking to double down on that success, and with the January transfer window set to open in a few months, fans are already getting excited about what could come next.

Tottenham fans draw up list of dream signings after £100 million boost

Tottenham fans have now begun to draw up a shortlist of players they want to see the club sign in the coming months.

A £100 million investment represents a significant injection of funds and could help Spurs bring in several high-quality players, especially as transfer fees are often paid in instalments spread across financial years.

Supporters have wasted no time in naming their preferred targets. One fan said: “£100m + Richarlison for Mbappe.” Another added: “Semenyo and a proper midfielder, I am talking a level or two above Bentancur or Palhinha.”

One more commented: “Semenyo, Wharton, Ederson.” Another said: “Semenyo, Wharton, Kane,” while others called for a wide player: “One LW like Leao or Semenyo.” Another fan mentioned: “Desire Doue.”

Other names mentioned by Tottenham fans included Alex Scott, Julian Alvarez, Victor Osimhen, Rodrygo, and Ademola Lookman.

Tottenham fans link Semenyo and Kane to Spurs rebuild

Spurs have been linked with both Harry Kane and Antoine Semenyo in recent weeks, and their addition would undoubtedly elevate the levels at the club.

Semenyo is a top-class winger, and off the left, he has already managed to grab more goals than any of Tottenham’s current options in that position.

Wilson Odobert is yet to score this season, Mathys Tel has managed one goal with his strike coming from a central role, Brennan Johnson has scored three, while Xavi Simons is yet to find the net.

Semenyo, on the other hand, has scored six league goals and provided three assists.

Journalist Ben Jacobs has shed light on what the £100m cash injection into Tottenham will be used for and why ENIC have decided to pump money into the club.

Since the Lewis family seized control of the club by getting rid of Daniel Levy as chairman, they have certainly made some big statements of intent.

Tottenham’s owners have repeatedly reiterated that they want to usher in a new era of on-pitch success and that they are committed to doing whatever it takes to achieve that.

We finally saw the first signs of their commitment earlier today, with Spurs confirming that their owners had injected equity of £100m into the club.

What will the £100m be used for at Tottenham?

This development will certainly excite Tottenham Hotspur fans, who will be hoping that the £100m will be added to Thomas Frank’s transfer kitty in January.

However, journalist Ben Jacobs has now explained that the money will not entirely be put to use for transfers, but is a move towards making the club financially stronger, more sustainable and strengthening its balance sheet.

He confirmed that some of the money will be used to strengthen the Spurs squad, but more broadly, it is an expression of ENIC’s commitment to the club and a sign that they are not looking to sell the asset.

Why this move represents a monumental shift in ENIC’s modus operandi

For a long time, Tottenham have been run in a self-sustaining model, with the owners showing no interest in investing their funds into the club.

Many Spurs fans will be aware that until today, ENIC had invested only £122.1m into Tottenham since buying the club in 2001, which has prevented the Lilywhites from pushing on and competing consistently for major honours.

Tottenham supporters are calling for a major statement signing following a fresh £100 million investment into the club, with many urging the board to bring in one player in particular.

It does feel like the start of a new era at Tottenham Hotspur, with changes taking place both on and off the pitch at N17.

Daniel Levy has since departed as chairman, and his exit did spark a wave of interest from potential suitors in the club, but Tottenham have maintained its stance that the club is not for sale.

ENIC have now gone on to make a statement of intent ahead of the January transfer window by investing £100 million into Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs fans call for £100m investment to be spent on transfer target Antoine Semenyo

The club’s ownership has long been criticised for ignoring matters on the pitch, and with a fresh cash injection, the first since 2022, it does appear to be a step in the right direction.

Spurs fans have not held back since hearing the latest report, with many now calling for the money to be spent on one big-name player.

Reacting to the news, one fan said: “BRING HIM!” alongside a picture of Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo. Another added: “Wire it straight to Bournemouth please lads, Semenyo and Kudus is unplayable.”

A third supporter claimed: “Where most of that needs to go on,” also posting an image of Semenyo, while another fan urged: “Kane and Semenyo, get it done!” before another concluded: “Time to get Semenyo.”

Spurs were linked with Antoine Semenyo in the just-concluded summer window but opted against signing him as they deemed Bournemouth’s demands of £70 million excessive.

Semenyo later put pen to paper, extending his contract with Bournemouth until 2030, which marked the end of any further transfer speculation.

Of course, with the Ghana international now ripping up the Premier League, having scored six goals in the league while grabbing three assists, his market value is set to only increase.

The Lewis family have just injected £100m of equity into Tottenham Hotspur, and according to a new report, this is just the start.

ENIC have rejected three expressions of interest in buying Tottenham over the last month, making it clear that the club is not for sale.

The Lewis family have maintained that they want to lead Tottenham to on-pitch success in this new era, but some Spurs fans have understandably been sceptical about those claims.

After all, until today, ENIC had invested only £122.1m into Tottenham since buying the club in 2001. That has now changed with the big development today, and it appears that more funds may be on their way.

The Lewis family are prepared to do more for Tottenham after £100m injection

This morning, the Tottenham owners finally walked the talk, with Spurs confirming that their owners had injected equity of £100m into the club.

The club made it clear that the cash injection was intended to support CEO Vinai Venkatesham and the club’s technical staff to deliver the club’s ambitions.

Even more excitingly, it has now been claimed by a source close to the Lewis family that this might just be the start of money coming into the North London club.

More funds are expected to be made available in due course by Tottenham’s majority owners as they strive to make the club more successful.

A sourse close to the Lewis family told Football.London: “This is initial additional funding. As the club’s management decides what’s needed to deliver success, more money will be available. The Lewis family is committed to backing the club to be successful.”

ENIC have silenced critics after recent controversial deal

Last month, Tottenham raised £90m through a receivables financing deal with Macquarie Group Ltd.

As a part of the deal, Spurs agreed to give Macquarie Group income from their future broadcasting rights in exchange for a lump sum of cash upfront.

Some football finance experts questioned why Tottenham would borrow and take on the interest if the Lewis family were ready to inject equity into the club.

Those concerns have been answered for now, with the club’s majority owners showing they are ready to put their money where their mouth is.
