Spurs Web

Tottenham Hotspur may be able to offload Manor Solomon to a Premier League side before the transfer window slams shut on Monday.

It is that stage of the transfer window when Spurs fans are regularly refreshing social media feeds, hoping for a big development.

While there has been a lot of focus on who the club can bring in, the Lilywhites also want to offload several players before the window closes.

According to reports, Tottenham are working hard to find buyers for Manor Solomon, Yves Bissouma and Bryan Gil, and it has now emerged that one of those players is on the wishlist of a Premier League side.

Manor Solomon could return to Leeds United

This report comes from TBR Football, who say that Leeds want to make two more additions before the end of the transfer window.

Daniel Farke wants to add an attacking midfielder and a winger to his squad, and one of the players on the club’s radar is Solomon.

The Israeli international had an outstanding spell on loan at Elland Road last season, scoring 10 goals and registering 13 assists, including netting the goal that won them the Championship title.

According to TBR Football, a move for the 25-year-old is still ‘on the table’ for Leeds, who could make a late approach to test Tottenham Hotspur’s resolve.

Spurs are having trouble selling Yves Bissouma

It was reported a couple of days ago that Bissouma was close to completing a move to Galatasaray, but that deal now appears to be in doubt.

According to Sacha Tavolieri, Galatasaray have reservations about Bissouma’s fitness, and are thus reluctant to commit big money on a deal for the midfielder.

Tottenham Hotspur are stepping up their efforts to sign Atalanta star Ademola Lookman in the final days of the transfer window.

Several journalists, including Fabrizio Romano, have predicted that Tottenham will have a busy end to the summer transfer window, with more signings expected to come through the door in N17.

Over the last two days, Spurs shifted their focus to landing Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig. Journalist Ben Jacobs revealed on Thursday that in addition to Simons, Tottenham are also exploring a move for Lookman.

Jacobs explained that the Atalanta star’s move to Inter Milan has now fallen through, with a late switch to N17 emerging as a possibility.

According to TEAMtalk, Spurs are now intensifying their efforts to land the 27-year-old forward, who found the back of the net 20 times across all competitions last season.

The outlet claims that Lookman is now emerging as ‘a prime target’ for Tottenham in the final days of the transfer window. Thomas Frank sees the Atalanta star as an ideal fit for his attacking setup at Spurs, and has greenlit the move.

The outlet adds that Tottenham have now reached out to Lookman’s representatives to understand the feasibility of a late move to N17.

Spurs have several irons in the fire

It is clear that, based on the reports over the last couple of days, Tottenham have been simultaneously exploring moves for a whole host of attacking midfielders and wings.

Having been left burned in the Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White sagas, Spurs clearly do not want to be left empty-handed should their pursuit of their top targets fall through.

The next four days look set to be exciting for Tottenham fans, but there is no doubt that this window will be considered a failure by most supporters if the club cannot get at least two more decent additions through the door.

Tottenham Hotspur now know their opponents for the league phase of the Champions League, and they will come up against some familiar names, including a long-serving player who left them 18 months ago.

Spurs are back in the Champions League after a two-year absence, and the excitement is now starting to grow for Spurs fans after the draw for the league phase was held today.

Tottenham now know all eight of their first-round Champions League opponents, and there are some tasty fixtures in there, including a trip to Paris Saint-Germain and a home clash against Borussia Dortmund.

Additionally, two players who have featured for Spurs in the Champions League in the past will also play against Thomas Frank’s men.

Tottenham will have an Eric Dier reunion

Dier left Bayern Munich this summer following 18 months at the club to join Monaco on a free transfer.

The centre-back, who spent nearly a decade at Spurs, making a total of 274 appearances for the Lilywhites, will return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with the Ligue 1 side, who are one of the North London club’s eight opponents.

Additionally, it will also be a homecoming for former Spurs defender Juan Foyth, with Villarreal also set to visit the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs should fancy their chances of qualification

There are no easy opponents in the Champions League, and Frank’s men certainly cannot afford to take any of these matches lightly.

However, overall, one has to say that the draw has been favourable to Spurs, who now have a great chance to qualify for the knockout stages of the competition.

In fact, the Lilywhites may even believe they can qualify automatically for the round of 16 stage by finishing in the top eight in the league phase.

Tottenham Hotspur now know the exact dates and order of each of their league phase Champions League fixtures, which have now been announced by UEFA.

Tottenham are back in Europe’s premier club competition after a two-year absence, and new boss Thomas Frank has admitted that he is excited to get a taste of Champions League football for the first time in his career.

Spurs will also lock horns with two familiar faces in the first round of the Champions League in Eric Dier and Juan Foyth, with Monaco and Villarreal both scheduled to visit the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Full schedule of Tottenham’s Champions League fixtures

While the Premier League side found out their identity of their opponents on Thursday, they have now discovered when they will be playing each side.

Spurs players confident ahead of European adventure

It will be the first taste of the competition for some players in the Spurs squad, includingGuglielmo Vicario, who has insisted that Tottenham are ready to challenge the big boys in the Champions League.

Djed Spence has also said that the Spurs players are hungry to make their mark in the Champions League and admitted that they are excited about the competition.

Given how well Spurs have performed against Paris Saint-Germain and Man City this season, they will believe that they can beat any side in Europe.

While a late move to Tottenham Hotspur has not been completely ruled out for Savinho, it is going to take something extraordinary for Man City to change their stance on the winger.

While Spurs fans are still basking in the glow of the Xavi Simons signing, they have received some bad news over the last 48 hours regarding their pursuit of Savinho.

It has been claimed by several sources that Man City have blocked the sale of the Brazilian to Spurs, with Pep Guardiola not wanting to lose the winger.

However, as Spurs Web has relayed, some outlets have said that Savinho is still holding out hope of a late move to Tottenham.

It will take a mega offer for Spurs to land Savinho

Journalist Pete O’Rourke has now pointed out that a deal to take the 21-year-old to Spurs cannot be completely ruled out, as all players have a price.

However, he makes it clear that it would require an extraordinary offer to get Savinho out of the Etihad, with Man City trying to price him out of a move.

When asked if the Brazilian’s move to Tottenham Hotspur has fallen through, O’Rourke told Football Insider: “Every player has got a price, but right now, Manchester City aren’t willing to do business for Savinho.

“Pep Guardiola wants to keep hold of the Brazilian, [and is] trying to price him out of a potential move to Tottenham, who have obviously shown their interest in Savinho.

“It’s getting so late in the window that unless there’s a mega, mega offer, I don’t think City are counting on selling Savinho this window. Guardiola wants to keep him in his squad.

“He still feels he has a role to play in his team, so Spurs might have to look elsewhere as they look to bring in a wide attacking player, and a number 10.”

Tottenham’s pursuit of Savinho may depend on Real Madrid

It has been claimed by several sources that Man City will only let Savinho leave if they can sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid.

Various sources, including Florian Plettenberg, are now reporting that Rodrygo now looks likely to remain at the Santiago Bernabeu unless something ‘extraordinary’ happens.

Thus, Tottenham’s chances of prising Savinho away from City do not look promising, and the Lilywhites may have already moved on to other alternatives.

Tottenham’s new signing Xavi Simons has now spoken to the club’s fans for the first time since completing his move from RB Leipzig.

Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Xavi Simons had been gathering pace in recent days, as the club continued to push for a breakthrough before the British transfer deadline.

Tottenham were not the only side circling for Simons, with London rivals Chelsea also monitoring the situation closely as they weighed up whether to make a late move of their own.

Simons flew to London to resolve issues regarding his future, and it is Tottenham who have now signed the 22-year-old midfielder.

Xavi Simons is excited to be a Tottenham player

After days of speculation, Tottenham have reached an agreement with RB Leipzig to sign Simons for £51m, with the midfielder also putting pen to paper, signing a five-year deal with a two-year option to extend.

Following Tottenham’s confirmation of Xavi’s transfer, the Dutchman has now sat down with the club’s media team to conduct his first interview in a Spurs shirt.

Speaking to the club’s official channels, Simons said: “I’m really happy and can’t wait to get going. I’ve been dreaming of this for a long time.

“It’s a great Club and when I met the Head Coach I knew straight away that this was the right place for me. I will bring flair to the team, but also hard work and discipline. I want to do everything I can to win, for the team and also for the fans.”

Spurs transfer plans beyond Simons

Tottenham’s push for reinforcements is not expected to end with Simons, with the club also being linked with wingers and centre-backs over the past fortnight.

The pursuit of Savinho ended in disappointment for Tottenham, with Manchester City making clear earlier this week that they have no intention of selling the 21-year-old winger.

During Tottenham’s win over Manchester City last week, Spurs officials held talks with the club’s hierarchy over a deal for one of their experienced stars.

It appears that Tottenham’s pursuit of Savinho might be over after Manchester City decided to block his move to North London. However, City and Spurs might still do some late business before the window slams shut.

It has been reported that Tottenham are keen on adding a centre-back to their squad, and over the last few hours, we have heard that Spurs have explored a move for Manuel Akanji.

It has now been revealed that another City defender is also on the Lilywhites’ radar.

Tottenham have already held talks with Man City regarding Nathan Ake

This update comes from GiveMeSport, who claim that Spurs have held discussions with City to find out whether it would be possible to lure Nathan Ake away from the club.

The Dutch international, who arrived at the Etihad Stadium from Bournemouth five years ago in a £40m deal, has been identified by Spurs as someone who can bolster their defensive stocks.

It is revealed that Tottenham Hotspur officials saw their clash at the Etihad last week as the ideal opportunity to discuss a deal, and did so with their City counterparts.

Those face-to-face talks were aimed at gauging whether an offer for Ake would be entertained before Monday’s 7 pm deadline.

Why Thomas Frank is keen on signing Ake

GiveMeSport say that Thomas Frank is an admirer of the 30-year-old and finds his versatility to be attractive.

The Tottenham boss sees Ake as someone who can not just cover at centre-back but could also challenge Destiny Udogie for the left-back spot.

The outlet says that Tottenham may consider upping the ante for the former Bournemouth man in the final days of the transfer window, with the Lilywhites sensing an opportunity, given City’s desire to trim their squad.

Savinho has not given up hope of completing a move to Tottenham Hotspur before Monday’s transfer deadline despite Manchester City’s refusal to sell him.

Over the last few days, a number of sources have claimed that Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of the Man City star may be over.

The Athletic’s David Ornstein has insisted that City do not want to sell Savinho as they are not making progress in their efforts to sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid.

Fabrizio Romano went a step further and claimed that Pep Guardiola’s men have completely ruled out selling Savinho to Spurs, but a new update has suggested that the player is still holding out hope of a late transfer.

Tottenham remain attentive to Savinho’s situation

TBR Football have now also confirmed that Guardiola wants to keep the winger at the Etihad Stadium, as City have not been able to find a replacement.

However, this has not gone down well with Savinho, who is ‘unhappy’ that the Manchester club have blocked his move to Tottenham.

The report says that the former Girona man is ‘really keen’ on joining Spurs and remains hopeful that a deal can be concluded in the final few days of the transfer window.

It is explained that the Lilywhites are ‘remaining attentive’ to Savinho’s situation at the moment.

Tottenham are exploring moves for other wingers

TBR Football also spoke to journalist Greame Bailey about the Savinho situation, and he reveals that there has been no change in City’s stance on the matter.

However, he adds that Tottenham have informed the Brazil international that they are now turning their attention to other targets.

Bailey told the publication: “City’s hierarchy’s stance was always the same with Savinho; they did not want him to leave. Yes, they showed an interest in Rodrygo, but it was always difficult, and they maintained their stance on Savinho.

“However, I am told that Savinho really wanted the Spurs move and still does; the window remains open until Monday, and he hopes the deal could happen.

“Spurs will remain attentive to the situation, should they get any encouragement; however, they have also made it clear to Savinho they are moving forward with other targets too.”

Football Finance expert Dan Plumey believes that Tottenham Hotspur may splash a lot of cash before the transfer window slams shut, and that might be down to a very interesting reason.

While moves for Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso were made permanent earlier this summer, Mohammed Kudus, Kota Takai and Joao Palhinha have been the only new players added to the Spurs squad this summer – with Xavi Simons not far behind.

Most Spurs fans understandably feel that Tottenham need more reinforcements to their squad if Thomas Frank is going to deliver on his aim of challenging on all four fronts.

Many journalists have predicted that Spurs are going to have a busy end to the transfer window, with more signings expected.

Tottenham takeover talks could be behind decision to spend big

We have heard over the last 24 hours that Tottenham are working to secure Xavi Simons in a big-money deal, and some sources indicate that it may not be the club’s only signing.

According to various reports, Spurs are also keen on adding another winger to their squad before the window slams shut on Monday.

Dan Plumey believes that Tottenham are working to build a strong squad to make the club as attractive as possible for the club’s prospective buyers.

When asked why Spurs are keen on splashing the cash this summer, the football finance expert told Football Insider: “I think the Champions League is a huge factor in that, in the sense of where they were last season, and obviously getting into that competition. I think there’s a little subtext there.

“It’s tough with ownership, because there is also a way you can look at that where if you are looking to sell, you need to give the club the best possible chance to be able to be sold.

“For a buyer to come in and pick up something that you can run with, then what you want is a decent squad for a new owner to inherit.”

Tottenham may also want to manage their transfer debt

Plumey is correct in saying that Tottenham will be more attractive to prospective investors if they have a more valuable playing squad.

On the other hand, Spurs’ transfer debt is already one of the highest in the Premier League, and adding to that will make the club less attractive to potential buyers.

Spurs insider Paul O’Keefe has made a big claim about what Tottenham Hotspur are trying to do in the final three days of the transfer window after wrapping up a deal for Xavi Simons.

Simons has passed a medical ahead of his Tottenham move and is expected to be announced as a Spurs player.

The 22-year-old is a real coup for Tottenham, and his arrival goes a long way towards making up for what has been a disappointing transfer window for the North London club.

Spurs fans are understandably over the moon with the capture of Simons after what happened with Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White earlier this summer, and it turns out they may be in for a very exciting end to the transfer window.

Tottenham are targeting two more signings this summer

It has been widely reported that Tottenham also want to add a winger to their squad before the window slams shut.

Paul O’Keefe has now taken to social media to claim that Spurs want to complete not just one, but two more signings, before the end of the transfer window.

Apart from wanting to add to their forward line, O’Keefe revealed that the Lilywhites are also keen on signing another centre-back.
