Bilal El Khannouss is now considering a transfer U-turn due to Tottenham Hotspur’s last-gasp approach after previously greenlighting a move to another Premier League club.

Since they missed out on Eberechi Eze, a whole host of creative midfielders have been mooted as targets for Tottenham over the last week.

El Khannouss is alleged to be one of the options on Tottenham’s radar, with the Moroccan impressing in his debut Premier League season last term despite Leicester City’s relegation.

Over the last 24 hours, some sources have suggested that Daniel Levy has personally stepped in to tie up a deal for the Leicester star, and it has now been revealed what the youngster thinks about a switch to N17.

Bilal El Khannouss is considering a transfer U-turn after Tottenham interest

According to GiveMeSport, Spurs have now seriously entered the race for the 21-year-old attacking midfielder after falling short in their pursuit of Eze.

The report says that Thomas Frank’s men will soon discover whether they have done enough to convince El Khannouss to head to N17.

The player had initially expressed an intention to join Crystal Palace after they made a £32m offer, but is now considering making an eleventh-hour U-turn amid Tottenham’s interest.

El Khannouss has been alerted to the fact that he is on Spurs’ radar, and he will now decide over the next few days, with a move to Thomas Frank’s side emerging as a ‘serious possibility’ for the former Genk man.

El Khannouss’ ambitions revealed as he contemplates Spurs move

GiveMeSport say that the Leicester man is determined to push himself by joining a side that competes at the highest level.

The fact that Spurs can offer him Champions League football is one of the reasons he finds a move to North London to be attractive.

Tottenham Hotspur have not given up hope of landing Morgan Rogers, but they have also identified two alternatives should they fail to secure the Aston Villa star.

It is an open secret that Tottenham are trying to reinforce their attack before the transfer deadline after losing out to Arsenal in the Eberechi Eze transfer race.

A number of outlets have now reported that Spurs view Morgan Rogers as their ‘dream signing’ and have made contact over a deal for the 23-year-old.

Several sources have claimed that Spurs would have to shatter their transfer record to bring Rogers through the door, but it looks like the Lilywhites are not giving up on the England international.

Tottenham identify ‘difficult’ alternatives to Morgan Rogers

Football Insider have now claimed that Rogers continues to be on Tottenham’s radar, with the Lilywhites hoping to take advantage of Aston Villa’s PSR issues and land the attacking midfielder.

However, the North London club realises that it will be a challenge to prise the former Middlesbrough man away from Villa Park.

As a result, Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on Como’s Nico Paz and Real Madrid star Rodrygo if they fail to land Rogers.

However, the outlet adds that a deal for Paz or Rodrygo would also prove difficult for Spurs, with Como and Madrid demanding huge transfer fees for their player.

Tottenham have already failed with a huge offer for Nico Paz

This update comes just a couple of days after Tottenham reportedly had a €70m (£60.7m) bid turned down by Como for Paz.

According to reports, Los Blancos plan to exercise their buy-back option for the attacking midfielder in the future, and Real Madrid played a big role in Spurs’ offer for Paz being rejected.

With time running out in the transfer window, some Tottenham fans will be frustrated to see the club seemingly going after unrealistic targets.

Yves Bissouma’s time at Tottenham Hotspur looks to be drawing to a close, with the midfielder now on the verge of sealing a move away from north London.

Yves Bissouma’s future at Tottenham Hotspur has been up in the air all summer, following what was largely seen as a disappointing campaign in the Lilywhite shirt last season.

Despite his poor form, interest in the 28-year-old has not been scarce, with clubs in Turkey, England and even the Middle East all making enquiries over Bissouma’s availability.

The Mali International has just 12 months left on his current deal at Tottenham, and with no renewal talks on the table, the prospect of him leaving on a free transfer next summer looks increasingly likely if Spurs do not cash in now.

Bissouma was left out of Tottenham’s Super Cup squad against PSG due to disciplinary reasons, meaning his last competitive match for the club came in the 4-1 defeat to Brighton last season.

Yves Bissouma set to join Galatasaray from Tottenham

A fresh update from journalist Fabrice Hawkins on X has now provided clarity on Bissouma’s situation at Tottenham, with the journalist revealing that the midfielder is set to join Galatasaray this summer.

According to his report, personal terms between Bissouma and the Turkish champions have already been agreed, while talks between Tottenham and Galatasaray are now at the final stage. It appears to be only a matter of time before the switch is confirmed.

Sharing the latest development on his X account, Hawkins wrote: “Yves Bissouma is set to join Galatasaray. Negotiations at final stage between Tottenham and Gala for the transfer of the midfielder. Personal terms already agreed.”

Spurs close to agreeing loan with obligation to buy deal

Should an agreement be finalised between the two clubs, Bissouma may well have played his final match for Tottenham. His last appearance feels distant, as he has not featured for Tottenham since his omission from Thomas Frank’s UEFA Super Cup squad.

Journalist Mike McGrath has also provided more details on the structure of the deal being discussed by Spurs and Galatasaray. According to the reporter, it is believed that Galatasaray are looking to sign Bissouma on loan, with an obligation to buy the 28-year-old later.

With a few days left in the British summer transfer window, it now looks very likely that Tottenham could secure the departure of one of their senior midfielders.

Nico Paz has now directly addressed the speculation linking him with a big-money move to Tottenham Hotspur, amidst reports that a huge bid from the North London club was sent back.

Since Tottenham failed with a move for Eberechi Eze, it has been reported that Nico Paz has now shot to the top of Spurs’ wishlist.

In fact, on Sunday night, it emerged that Tottenham had a €70m (£60.7m) offer rejected by Como for Paz.

That update came from Fabrizio Romano, who explained that the midfielder wants to stay at Como with a view to returning to Real Madrid in the future, as Los Blancos have a buy-back clause on the youngster.

Nico Paz addresses speculation over his future after Tottenham bid

The 20-year-old showed his quality against Lazio on Sunday, registering a sublime goal and an assist as Como emerged 2-0 winners.

Following the game, when asked about Tottenham’s interest in his player, Como boss Cesc Fabrigas insisted that he is very relaxed about Paz’s future, insisting that the 20-year-old is happy at the club.

The youngster has now handed Tottenham Hotspur a blow by revealing that he is fully focused on Como and wants to take the club to the next level.

When asked about the speculation over his future, Paz told Provincia di Como: “The transfer market? I didn’t listen to anything. I stayed focused on preparing for the season. Let’s hope everything goes well and that we can reach the highest possible level.”

Real Madrid played a big role in stopping Paz from joining Spurs

Xabi Alonso’s men have a big say in the attacking midfielder’s future, as they have the right to match any offer, a 50 per cent sell-on clause, and a buy-back clause for next summer worth just £10m.

According to reports, Real Madrid played a big role in Como rejecting Tottenham’s offer for Paz over the weekend.

A Tottenham star, who has arguably been the club’s best performer across the first three games of the season, has been called up to his national team in the lead-up to a World Cup year.

While discussing which Spurs players Thomas Frank can improve, many pointed to the likes of Brennan Johnson and Archie Gray, who Frank previously tried to take to Brentford.

Many also felt that the Dane could tighten up Tottenham’s backline, which was extremely leaky last season. However, not many would have predicted the transformation we have seen in Richarlison so far.

The 28-year-old has scored two goals and picked up an assist in Spurs’ first two Premier League fixtures on the back of leading the line superbly in the Super Cup clash against Paris Saint-Germain.

Tottenham star Richarlison gets called up to Brazil squad

Frank has said that Richarlison is currently his starting number nine, with Dominic Solanke seemingly having work to do to win his place back in the eleven.

Spurs fans will be hoping that the former Everton man can steer clear of injuries and finally show just why the club paid such a big fee for him three years ago.

Richarlison has now been rewarded for his impressive form by being called up to the Brazil squad by new manager Carlo Ancelotti for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Bolivia last month.

Richarlison never considered leaving Spurs this summer

Some reports have indicated that Tottenham were open to cashing in on Richarlison at the start of the summer.

It was even claimed by some sources last week that Spurs considered selling Richarlison and replacing him with Yoane Wissa.

Girona are looking to sign Bryan Gil from Tottenham Hotspur, but the La Liga club do not want to pay a transfer fee to the North London club.

The 24-year-old impressed on loan for the Spanish side last term, but his season was cut short by an injury.

Girona chose against activating their €15m (£12.5m) option to buy Gil, which has now expired, and according to reports, Tottenham are now working hard to find Gil a new club before the September 1 deadline.

It has been reported that Tottenham want under £10m to sell Gil this summer.

Fabio Paratici’s attempts to sell Gil to Bolgona have failed over the last few days, and it has now emerged that Girona are now eyeing a late deal for Gil.

Girona are hoping to sign Bryan Gil on a free transfer from Tottenham

This report comes from journalist Nil Sola, who has revealed that the La Liga outfit have ‘reactivated’ their pursuit of the Tottenham Hotspur man.

He claims that, having recently signed Alex Moreno on a free transfer after Aston Villa terminated his contract, Girona want to do the same with Gil.

They are hoping that Tottenham agree to release the Spain international, who has just a year left in his contract, so that they can secure him without a transfer fee.

Sola claims that Gil is extremely keen on returning to Estadi Montilivi, but he does not say if Spurs are seriously considering terminating his deal.

Tottenham do have history with this, after they terminated Tanguy Ndombele’s contract early in order to get the Frenchman off the books.

Why Tottenham have struggled to find a buyer for Gil

The Spurs winger has done well in all of his loan spells, and he was in the Spain squad even last season, which is why the lack of interest in his services is puzzling.

Sport Witness, while relaying the report from Sola, say that the reason Tottenham have not been able to find a buyer for the winger is due to his ligament tear, which has sidelined him from the start of March.

The outlet says that the injury has made it a ‘difficult task’ for the Lilywhites to offload him before September 1, even at a reduced asking price.

David Ornstein has now shared a significant update on Tottenham’s pursuit of Savinho, with the saga taking a fresh twist just days before the summer transfer window closes.

Tottenham Hotspur remain firmly interested in securing Savinho this summer, even with the transfer deadline day fast approaching.

The Brazilian winger has emerged as a key target for Thomas Frank, who is said to be pushing hard for his arrival in north London.

Reports suggest Tottenham are prepared to raise their Savinho bid significantly, with figures in the region of £60 million being considered.

Manchester City, however, remain reluctant to part ways with the youngster. Savinho has yet to make a first-team appearance for City, but despite that, they are determined to keep hold of him as the situation with Spurs continues to drag on.

With just under a week remaining in the summer window, David Ornstein, writing in his column for The Athletic, has provided an update on Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Savinho.

According to Ornstein, Tottenham’s hopes of prising the winger away from Manchester City could depend on City completing a move for Rodrygo from Real Madrid.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Pep Guardiola is known to be an admirer of the Brazilian, yet the high wage demands and the substantial asking price from Madrid could make negotiations extremely difficult.

Ornstein went on to reveal that for the Savinho deal to progress, Rodrygo would need to inform Real Madrid that he wants to leave. At this point, however, The Athletic have made it clear that no such indication has been given by the player.

Spurs chances with Savinho remain uncertain

It is understood that should Rodrygo make a formal request to leave this summer, that could potentially open the door for talks between Real Madrid and Manchester City.

Guardiola would be interested in signing him, and such a move could create an opportunity for Tottenham to revisit discussions over Savinho. At present, though, this scenario is purely hypothetical, as no progress has been made on the Rodrygo front.

The Brazilian has played only once for Real Madrid this season, managing 63 minutes before being substituted, and he appeared visibly frustrated when withdrawn.

Sources close to the situation have now revealed whether Tottenham could pursue a move for Bilal El Khannouss before the transfer window closes.

Two victories from two in the Premier League to begin the season do not change the fact that Tottenham Hotspur are still without a natural attacking midfielder as they head into their final league clash before the summer window slams shut next week.

The need for creativity in that area of the pitch has been clear for some time, yet despite their desire to strengthen, the club’s pursuit of a new number ten has brought little reward, as preferred targets have slipped away one by one.

Most notably, Eberechi Eze appeared destined for a move to N17, only for Arsenal to swoop in and hijack the deal at the final stage, leaving Tottenham back at square one in their hunt for a playmaker.

Spurs are now being linked with other alternatives, with Bilal El Khannouss among the names floated as a potential target this summer.

The Sun, however, have now revealed that sources close to the situation have played down the likelihood of Tottenham moving for Bilal El Khannouss in this window, suggesting the focus may shift to other options instead.

Of course, if Tottenham were to pursue the Leicester City midfielder, they could themselves be the hijackers, as Crystal Palace are reported to have already reached an agreement with the Moroccan international.

El Khannouss form and Tottenham’s search for creativity

The 21-year-old has already registered two assists in his two starts for Leicester City in the Championship this season, although he was absent from their last outing against Charlton at the weekend.

That absence could be linked to his proposed switch to Crystal Palace edging closer, with both clubs still working to finalise an agreement before the transfer deadline.

Everton are exploring the possibility of signing a midfielder from Tottenham, with the player’s uncertain future leaving the door open for a late move before the window closes.

Yves Bissouma’s future at Tottenham Hotspur remains unclear with just days left of the summer transfer window, and speculation is now beginning to intensify around his next step.

The 28-year-old was omitted from Thomas Frank’s UEFA Super Cup final squad for disciplinary reasons, after repeated lateness to training sessions put him out of favour with the new manager.

Bissouma has also not featured this season due to an injury setback suffered in training, which has kept him sidelined with no clear timeline yet set for his return.

Everton eye Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma

Football Insider is now reporting that Yves Bissouma has fallen out of favour with Thomas Frank at Tottenham, and the midfielder is now firmly down the pecking order in North London.

Bissouma, however, is attracting interest from sides in England’s top division, with Everton understood to be among the Premier League clubs monitoring his situation, as David Moyes is keen to bolster his midfield depth before the window shuts.

The Spurs midfielder has just 12 months left on his contract, and while Tottenham signed him for £25 million, the club are said to be open to recouping part of that investment rather than risk losing him for free next summer.

Speaking to Football Insider, Pete O’Rourke explained the current situation in detail, revealing: “There are a few clubs who would look at Bissouma.

“It seems that he has burnt his bridges at Tottenham now, being left out of that Super Cup defeat due to disciplinary reasons. Spurs will be looking to recoup part of their £25million investment rather than risk losing him for nothing, so they will be open to offers.

“Everton are lacking cover in a number of areas – if Everton could get a good deal for Bissouma, he could be a player who makes a real impact for David Moyes’ side.

“[It is] not an easy deal to do, due to the price tag on Bissouma’s head if Spurs are looking to cash in. There will be other clubs across Europe who will be looking at Bissouma as a potential target in the final days of the window, if Spurs do put him on the market as we expect.”

West Ham are also interested in Yves Bissouma

Everton are not the only side showing interest in Yves Bissouma, with reports also suggesting that West Ham United are considering a late move for the midfielder.

Former Brighton boss Graham Potter, who previously managed Bissouma on the south coast, is said to be keen on a reunion and could push for a deal if the opportunity arises.

However, it is believed that West Ham would prefer a loan move rather than a permanent transfer, leaving Tottenham with a key decision to make as deadline day approaches.

Tottenham have been informed that a £47.5m deal could be there for the taking if Manchester City refuse to part ways with Savinho this week.

Tottenham Hotspur are yet to receive a breakthrough in their pursuit of Manchester City winger Savinho, a name that has been on their radar in recent weeks.

Spurs have so far seen their offers for Savinho rejected by the Citizens, who are holding out for a £70million valuation of the Brazilian winger.

However, with only a few days left before the summer window slams shut and City unwilling to budge on their asking price for the 21-year-old, Spurs could be tempted to look elsewhere to strengthen their wide options.

Tottenham told Maghnes Akliouche offer would likely be accepted

A report from Football Insider now claims that one of Tottenham’s alternative targets, Maghnes Akliouche, could very much be on his way out of Monaco.

It is believed that the French side will now accept a bid of around £47.5million for the 23-year-old, who has registered 13 goals and 14 assists in his Ligue 1 career so far.

With the winger said to be available for £47.5million, a substantial amount lower than Savinho’s asking price, it remains to be seen if Spurs make a move for Akliouche in the coming days.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Speaking to Football Insider about the winger, Pete O’Rourke said: “The one that seems to be catching their eye is the Monaco star, Maghnes Akliouche. He is a very talented young player, and could be available for around £47.5million.

“He is a top young player, 23 years old, probably one of the most exciting young talents in Ligue 1 right now – he can play as a winger, or as a number 10 as well.

“If Tottenham are not able to resurrect their deal for Savinho, Akliouche would be a decent alternative, and it does seem that Monaco would sell at the right price.”

Why Maghnes Akliouche could suit Tottenham

The young Frenchman, who has been making a name for himself in Ligue 1, could very much be a shrewd acquisition for Tottenham, who are also in need of a number ten.

Spurs are currently without James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, who are both sidelined for extended periods, leaving Tottenham thin in the attacking midfield department.
