An Italy Under-20 international, who Tottenham Hotspur have allegedly had an offer turned down for has now addressed the speculation linking him with a move.

Amidst the speculation over Cristian Romero’s Tottenham future, the Lilywhites are expected to enter the market for a centre-back this summer.

According to some sources, Spurs believe Kevin Danso is ready to be a starter if Romero leaves, with the club happy with the way the Austrian has settled into life at Hotspur Way.

That might explain why Tottenham are allegedly turning their attention to a young Italian centre-back as a potential backup.

A few days ago, La Nazione claimed that Spurs made a bid Pisa defender Francesco Coppola but their bid was turned down by the Serie B club.

Francesco Coppola reacts to Tottenham transfer speculation

The 20-year-old centre-back had an outstanding loan spell with Serie C side Vis Pesaro in 2024-25 and while he is yet to make his debut for Pisa, he is expected to become a key player for the club during the upcoming season.

The youngster has now admitted that he did hear of Spurs’ interest but handed the Premier League side a blow by revealing that he wants to make his mark at Pisa.

When asked about the rumours of Tottenham making an offer, Coppola told Cronache di Spogliatoio (as relayed by Sport Witness): “I heard the news from my friends, but I only have in mind to earn an opportunity in Serie A with Pisa.

“I want to stay and try to compete in Serie A, now I’ll enjoy the end of the season and then I’ll come back full of energy to grow further.”

Fabio Paratici appears to be pulling Tottenham’s transfer strings again

It has been widely reported that Fabio Paratici will return to Tottenham in a formal role this summer once his FIFA ban expires.

The 52-year-old is an expert on the best-emerging talent from the Italian market and Spurs’ rumoured move for Coppola has his fingerprints written all over it.

While Paratici might not have yet begun work at Spurs officially, it looks like he is heavily involved in Tottenham’s planning for the summer window, which most Spurs fans will be pleased about, given his track record in the transfer window.

Journalist Dean Jones has provided the latest on Heung-min Son’s future and has revealed that Spurs may look to push ahead with a move for a Premier League winger.

It has been reported over recent weeks that Tottenham may consider selling Son if they receive a big enough offer as they could use the funds from his sale for a major summer rebuild.

Various outlets have reported over recent days that the Spurs captain is attracting heavy interest from the Saudi Pro League, and with the 32-year-old having just a year left on his contract, his future appears up in the air at the moment.

A new update has suggested that the Lilywhites have begun taking significant steps to add firepower to the frontline amidst the uncertainty over Son’s future.

Tottenham could replace Heung-min Son with Bournemouth star

Journalist Dean Jones has now talked up the possibility of Heung-min Son moving to Saudi Arabia, indicating that the South Korean’s decade-long spell in N17 looks set to come to an end.

He added that in the meantime, Tottenham are working on a permanent deal to sign Mathys Tel and are now considering eyeing a move for Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo, who finished the 2024-25 campaign with 13 goals and seven assists across all competitions.

Jones has told The Transfers From Paradise: “One man who could be joining him in the Saudi Pro League is Son Heung-min. He looks set to leave Spurs, which is no major surprise as that has been mooted for a while. One thing Spurs lose if he goes is experience that could be key for a Champions League campaign.

“At the moment, the club are pressing ahead with negotiations on a fee to take Mathys Tel on a permanent deal, but I am also starting to hear whispers that Antoine Semenyo is one of the players they could look to sign.”

Why Son’s move to Saudi Arabia will not be straightforward

It is far from a given that the forward will accept a move to the Middle East if reports over recent days are to be believed.

A couple of days ago, The Times revealed that Son rejected a mega-money offer to move to the Saudi Pro League last summer as he felt he had unfinished business in the Premier League.

It was suggested that the former Bayer Leverkusen man would thus take some convincing to green-light a move to Asia this summer.

Daniel Levy is unlikely to break Tottenham Hotspur’s wage structure to sign Leroy Sane, despite the Bayern Munich forward being heavily linked with a move to the club.

Tottenham Hotspur would be desperate to improve their squad ahead of next season, as the north London club makes a return to the UEFA Champions League after two seasons away.

Spurs are reported to be more open-minded this summer, with the possibility of Tottenham landing a marquee signing very much on the cards, as Eberechi Eze and Jack Grealish are reported as potential targets.

Jamie O’Hara has urged Daniel Levy to make Leroy Sane his statement signing of this transfer window, after the German international was offered to Spurs.

Sane has certainly impressed Harry Kane, with the former Spurs forward describing his Bayern team-mate as ‘fantastic’ having seen his quality first-hand (BILD).

Tottenham are unlikely to smash their wage barrier for Sane

Tottenham are very much in the mix to sign Sane, whose £300,000-a-week contract is set to expire this summer and with Arsenal, Saudi Arabian clubs and Turkish giants Galatasaray all keen on the player, he has plenty of options.

Bayern Munich continue to negotiate a new deal with Sane, but the player’s valuation has yet to be met.

Leroy Sane’s wage demands have now been revealed, and it is one Tottenham are not willing to meet, according to journalist Dean Jones.

Jones told Transfers From Paradise: “Absolutely not, no. Tottenham remain cautious as they head into the next window. They are open-minded about bringing in a marquee player, but the prospect of them going even beyond £200,000-a-week is unlikely.”

Tottenham should look elsewhere despite Leroy Sane availability

Sane notched 17 goal contributions last season for Bayern Munich after making 30 appearances in the Bundesliga, which are not numbers expected from a marquee signing.

Indeed, Spurs would be better off targeting PSG’s Bradley Barcola, who has double Sane’s goal contribution, with the Parisian man involved in 40 goals for PSG, including an assist in the Champions League final.

Daniel Levy would have to be ready to smash the £200,000-a-week wage structure he has, which is the highest earned by a Tottenham player, if he is to attract the best players.

Spurs have, of course, saved £15.6 million in wages after they let go of four key players, which means there is room for more money to be spent on player wages.

Ange Postecoglou is back in England, and with Tottenham Hotspur set to make a decision on his future, clarity could soon arrive regarding his fate as manager.

The future of Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur has been the talk of the town, with everyone expecting a decision on whether the Australian would be sacked or whether he would remain at the Tottenham dugout.

Several Spurs first-team players have come out in support of Postecoglou, with Pedro Porro’s recent comments backing the Australian, leading to an argument between Simon Jordan and Danny Murphy.

Postecoglou has not been in London, with the Tottenham boss having taken time out with a family holiday in Greece, but that did not stop him from commenting on his future.

Speaking to ABC News, Postecoglou sent a clear message to Tottenham about his future, stating that he wants to make sure Spurs are back competing for silverware after their Europa League success last season.

Ange Postecoglou returns to England as Tottenham decision nears

A verdict on Ange Postecoglou’s future is expected in the coming days, but the general consensus is that the manager is going to be sacked.

John Brewin of The Guardian also shared an update he probably should not have revealed about Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham future, where he stated that The Guardian have a pre-written sack piece waiting to go live once Spurs announce the departure of Postecoglou, further hinting that the 59-year-old’s fate is sealed.

The Telegraph have now revealed that Postecoglou has returned to England from holiday, and the expectation is that the Australian will soon be provided with clarity over his future.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy must now decide whether to stick with the manager who delivered a first trophy in seventeen years amid an awful Premier League campaign, or look to make yet another fresh start.

With other clubs having already been active in the transfer window, Tottenham are at a standstill while everyone eagerly awaits whether the axe comes down on Postecoglou.

Spurs consider replacements as Ange Postecoglou waits on verdict

Recent reports indicate that Tottenham are actively working on replacements for Postecoglou, with Spurs said to have had talks with Brentford’s Thomas Frank.

Ange Postecoglou’s league form last season certainly has not helped him, after he led Tottenham to their worst ever league finish, with Spurs ending in 17th place after losing 22 matches.

The Australian did deliver Tottenham’s first trophy in 17 years, and their first European trophy after 41 years, but that has not proved to be a saving grace for the Australian, who would now be eagerly waiting for the club’s verdict now that he is in north London.

A decision of whether Postecoglou remains in the role is not expected to be communicated formally by the club, but instead by those journalists close to happenings in N17; the opposite, however, can be expected in a statement.

Tottenham have made ruthless calls in their summer clearout, trimming the wage bill by £15.6 million ahead of what promises to be a busy transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur’s summer business is already underway, with Kevin Danso completing a permanent transfer following his initial loan spell.

The £21 million obligation to buy was triggered at the end of the campaign, making the defender Spurs’ first addition of the window.

At the other end of the scale, Tottenham announced the departure of four senior players – Sergio Reguilon, Fraser Forster, Timo Werner and Alfie Whiteman – all of whom will formally leave when their contracts expire on 30 June.

Despite those exits, Tottenham remain active in the market, with strong links to several targets, including a permanent move for Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel. However, no further deals have been completed at this stage.

Tottenham save £15.6m after Reguilon, Werner and Forster exits

With UEFA Champions League football secured through their Europa League triumph, Tottenham’s finances have received a welcome boost ahead of a crucial summer window.

Further savings have arrived with the sale of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to Marseille, who triggered their £17 million obligation to buy following his loan spell in France.

And now, according to figures from Spotrac, the club has also freed up £15.6 million in annual wages following the departures of Reguilon, Forster, Werner and Whiteman, offering greater financial flexibility ahead of incoming business.

Spurs’ wage structure clears space for marquee signing

Sergio Reguilon departs after five years in north London, having earned £53,000 a week, equating to £2,756,000 annually. His exit alone represents a tidy saving, though not the largest of the outgoing quartet.

Timo Werner’s loan deal from RB Leipzig saw Tottenham cover his full salary, which was a hefty £165,000 per week – the fourth-highest wage at the club, amounting to £8,580,000 per year.

Veteran goalkeeper Fraser Forster also carried a significant salary burden, with his £75,000 weekly wage totalling £3,900,000 annually.

Meanwhile, Alfie Whiteman, though on the lower end of the pay scale, still earned £7,500 weekly and £390,000 annually – figures that now come off the club’s books.

With £15.6 million now saved in terms of wages, Spurs are expected to have a few more in the bank to spend when negotiating deals with potential new signings.

Kevin Danso is not prepared to sit back at Tottenham, with the Austrian international having made it clear he is ready to fight for a place in Spurs’ starting eleven.

Tottenham Hotspur are hopefully keen on building on their last season’s success after they won the Europa League and ended a nearly two-decade wait for a major piece of silverware, since they last won one in 2008.

Indeed, it was a much-needed trophy for the Lilywhites, who had struggled domestically, as they found themselves down in 17th place in the Premier League table.

A lot can be said about why Tottenham slumped so badly in Ange Postecoglou’s second season, after the Australian managed a fifth-place finish in his debut campaign, with injuries one of the main factors for the Lilywhites’ poor form.

Kevin Danso ready to fight for Tottenham shirt in 25/26 season

The 25/26 season simply has to be better for Spurs, and this would require that the players step up as Tottenham aim to compete on multiple fronts.

Kevin Danso completed his £21m move to Tottenham last month following his initial loan spell and has now promised to do just so, stating that he is ready to fight for his Tottenham shirt.

Speaking to Kronen Zeitung, Danso spoke about the competition that is within the Tottenham first-team, admitting that his debut season in north London was difficult, but that he is ready to fight for a place in the starting XI.

He said: “I feel good; for me, it is like returning to my second home. I always give my all; the fans love me. Of course, the competition is fierce, that is normal at such a big club. But I have had a difficult season, I only arrived in the winter, and I will fight for my jersey.”

Danso needs consistency to break into the Spurs starting XI

Kevin Danso proved to be a solid addition to the Tottenham squad after he featured in 15 games for Spurs across all competitions, including in the Europa League final as a second-half substitute.

With Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero currently ahead of him in the pecking order, Danso would need to be consistent to stake a claim to be Tottenham’s starting centre-back but has won fans over with his fearless style.

Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt a major setback in their pursuit of Johnny Cardoso, with reports emerging that Atletico Madrid have now reached an agreement with the midfielder.

We reported a few days back that Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a quadruple blow this summer window, with several of their targets looking to secure moves elsewhere.

On our list was Johnny Cardoso of Real Betis, whom Spurs have a £21 million option to buy this summer, as the clause was inserted in the deal that saw Giovani Lo Celso move to Spain.

It has been reported in recent weeks that despite Tottenham’s option to buy, Cardoso is not keen on a move to Spurs, with the American international said to be happy in Spain, as Atletico Madrid are also interested in his services.

Atletico Madrid agree personal terms with Johnny Cardoso

Tottenham Hotspur have now been handed a further blow, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that Atletico Madrid have agreed terms with Johnny Cardoso.

The Italian journalist has stated that Diego Simeone’s men are now advancing in talks to get a deal done with Real Betis.

The package of the deal is reported to be around €30 million (approximately £25.5 million) with bonuses, and a possibility of players being part of the agreement now being discussed.

His tweet on X reads: “Atletico Madrid have reached an agreement with Johnny Cardoso on personal terms and are advancing in talks to get a deal done with Real Betis. Package deal around €30m with bonuses and also potential players as part of the agreement now being discussed.”

Spurs midfield stance softens as Yves Bissouma impresses

It was only revealed yesterday that Tottenham are not keen on taking up their £21 million option to buy Cardoso.

It was reported that the north London club are reconsidering their stand on Yves Bissouma, whose future at Spurs was sealed, following reports that Bissouma was set to depart after crunch talks with Tottenham.

Indeed, Bissouma impressed in the closing stages of last season with standout performances in the semi-final and final of the Europa League, and it seems all hope is not lost on the midfielder.

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to bolster their midfield ahead of the new season and have one of the Premier League’s brightest talents on their radar with the summer transfer window firmly underway.

It has been widely reported by several reliable sources that signing a deep-lying playmaker will be one of Tottenham’s priorities this summer.

Spurs have suffered a blow in their pursuit of Johnny Cardoso after finding out that the Real Betis man prefers a move to Atletico Madrid.

It has been widely reported over recent months that Tottenham are big admirers of Adam Wharton and will take a sizeable offer for Crystal Palace to even consider his exit.

Tottenham will have to break the bank to sign Adam Wharton

A new update from TEAMtalk has now also claimed that Spurs are prioritising reinforcements in midfield and the outlet says that Adam Wharton has been identified as a prime candidate.

The England international is admired by the Spurs hierarchy for his composure, vision, and ability to dictate play from deep.

Due to those qualities, he is seen as a much better fit for the number six role in Ange Postecoglou’s system than either Yves Bissouma or Pape Matar Sarr.

MORE SPURS STORIES

However, prising Wharton away from Selhurst Park will be no easy task with Palace demanding upwards of £60m for the former Blackburn Rovers man.

Tottenham’s desperation to resolve their issues in the middle of the park means that they could test the Eagles’ resolve with an offer or two, but any deal is not expected to happen early in the transfer window.

Spurs’ move for Wharton could depend on key decision

TEAMtalk make it clear that Tottenham want to sign the Wharton for Postecoglou’s system, with the Australian said to be a big admirer of the English midfielder.

The outlet suggests that a move for the 21-year-old from Spurs very much depends on whether the Australian remains in charge.

Jose Mourinho wants to take one senior Tottenham Hotspur man to Fenerbahce this summer and the Turkish club have already taken concrete steps to sign the player.

Until a month and a half ago, it looked certain that the Mali international would depart Spurs with the midfielder struggling to get game regular time for Ange Postecoglou’s side having fallen behind the likes of Lucas Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentancur and Pape Matar Sarr.

It was widely reported at that time that Tottenham would cash in on Bissouma, but the 28-year-old had a strong end to the season, playing an important role for the Lilywhites in their Europa League semifinal and final wins against Bodo/Glimt and Manchester United respectively.

Despite his strong end to the season, Alasdair Gold suggested over the weekend that Spurs could still put Bissouma up for sale as the Lilywhites are prioritising signing a deep-lying playmaker this summer.

Fenerbahce have made a move for Yves Bissouma

According to a report by Hurriyet (as relayed by Sport Witness), Mourinho is keen on taking Bissouma to Fenerbahce and has informed the Turkish club’s hierarchy of his desire.

It is suggested that the Yellow Canaries could allow former Manchester United midfielder Fred to depart and replace the Brazilian with Bissouma.

In fact, the outlet claims that Fenerbahce have already begun transfer talks to land Bissouma, whose agent has been contacted to discuss a potential switch to the Super Lig.

The Istanbul club want to sign the former Brighton man on loan with an option to buy, while Tottenham prefer a permanent sale.

Bissouma has several suitors in the Premier League

If reports over the last few weeks are to be believed, the Tottenham midfielder is not short of suitors within England if he does leave the club this summer.

It has been suggested that Aston Villa could make a move for Bissouma, with Unai Emery wanting to add more depth to his midfield.

Tottenham will be quietly pleased with Manchester City’s latest transfer decision, especially given the growing summer interest in one of their star performers.

With the summer transfer window now open Tottenham Hotspur fans will be expecting to be busy one, especially after it was reported that Spurs are looking to strengthen three key positions and that five new faces could be heading to Hotspur Way this summer.

While the club will be eyeing new additions, Tottenham will also be eager to keep some of their top performers this summer, as they look to build on their recent Europa League success.

Frustratingly, however, with Tottenham yet to make a decision on Ange Postecoglou’s future, there are yet to be any new additions to the playing squad.

It has been reported that Daniel Levy is determined to keep star centre-back Cristian Romero at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a bid to show ambition, despite interest from Atletico Madrid.

Manchester City move for Rayan Ait-Nouri hands Tottenham transfer boost over Destiny Udogie

Of course, Cristian Romero is not the only Tottenham player to be attracting interest from Europe, as Destiny Udogie was reported to be on the radar of Manchester City.

Indeed, given the performances of the Italian full-back, particularly in the Europa League last season, Tottenham would not want to lose the 22-year-old this summer.

MORE SPURS STORIES

In fact, following interest from Manchester City two months ago, it was reported that Tottenham were set to reject any offer from the Manchester club.

Now, a recent development from Pep Guardiola’s side’s transfer dealings leaves Spurs with one less thing to worry about after it was reported that Manchester City are closing in on a deal for Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri after initial talks have taken place.

This would mean Destiny Udogie, who played 36 matches in all competitions for Spurs, is expected to remain at Hotspur Way this summer, unless there is new interest from elsewhere later this transfer window.

Spurs looking to protect core players like Destiny Udogie

With Tottenham still yet to confirm their managerial situation, the club must retain its best players before a new manager arrives and decides on which players to keep and which to let go.

It was reported back in April that Spurs were hell-bent on keeping Udogie because they believe he is a great tactical fit for Ange Postecoglou’s system.
