Spurs Web

Tottenham Hotspur are one of three big clubs considering a move for a South American defender who is protected by a huge release clause.

The summer transfer window is still a while away, and Spurs first need to focus on securing their Premier League status before they can plan for the window.

However, that has not stopped the speculation intensifying regarding the North London club’s top targets, particularly after the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi.

Some sources have suggested that De Zerbi has mentioned some potential summer targets to Tottenham, and one left-back is now being very heavily linked with a move to N17.

Tottenham battling two European giants for Maxi Araujo

According to various reports, Tottenham are eyeing a summer move for Sporting Lisbon star Maxi Arajuo, who has been one of the most exciting full-backs on show in the Champions League this season.

Arajuo was Sporting’s star performer in the first leg against Arsenal on Tuesday, and that has not gone unnoticed at Spurs.

According to A BOLA, Tottenham’s scouts were in attendance at the Jose Alvalade Stadium to watch the left-back deliver a masterclass.

The report says that Spurs have been following Arajuo for ‘a long time’ and were left impressed with his latest display against their North London rivals.

The outlet claims that the Uruguayan international has also been a long-term target for Chelsea, but it is Juventus who are named as the ‘main interested party’ in the full-back ahead of the summer window.

Sporting Lisbon’s stance on Spurs target Arajuo revealed

A Bola have backed up what we have heard from other sources over the last week by revealing that the left-back has a €80m (£69m) release clause in his contract.

The website claims that Sporting are aware of the growing interest in Arajuo, but have already decided to keep the player in Lisbon for one more season.

The publication adds that it is going to take an ‘irresistible offer’ to tempt the Portuguese club to cash in on the experienced defender.

Inter Milan may find it much more difficult to land Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario this summer than they initially expected.

Spurs Web has relayed a whole host of reports from Italy over the last few months stating that Vicario has held positive talks regarding a summer move to Inter Milan.

It has been suggested that the Tottenham number one is keen to return to the Serie A after spending three years in North London.

Sources have suggested that Inter Milan are hopeful that they can agree a £16m deal for Vicario, whose form between the sticks has been heavily scrutinised this season.

Tottenham’s asking price for Guglielmo Vicario is too high for Inter Milan

TuttoMercatoWeb have now confirmed that the 29-year-old had been identified by the Nerazzurri as their top target to take over the gloves from Yann Sommer.

However, the outlet reveals that Inter have only set a budget of €15m (£13m) for a new goalkeeper ahead of the summer.

It is claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are now demanding a fee of €25m-€30m (£21.7m-£26.1m) for the former Empoli man, which is a valuation that far exceeds Inter’s ceiling.

The outlet thus concludes that Vicario is ‘not an easy target’ for Inter, with Tottenham’s demands being too high to make him the Italian club’s ‘desired choice’.

Inter’s internal conversations regarding Vicario revealed

This report comes just a couple of days after CalcioMercato claimed that Inter’s hierarchy has held talks regarding their summer objectives, with the Tottenham man’s name being discussed.

However, the update revealed that ‘further discussions are necessary’ at Inter before they push ahead with a move for Vicario.

It was explained that the Serie A club’s leaders would first have to agree on contract renewals and finalise their priority transfer objectives before making a decision on the Italian goalkeeper.

Tottenham Hotspur appear to be edging closer to a deal with soon-to-be free agent Andy Robertson this summer, but Spurs supporters are not entirely convinced by the potential move.

It was revealed on Thursday that Robertson has decided to call time on his nearly decade-long stay at Anfield, with the full-back choosing not to renew his contract.

Tottenham, who had shown interest in the Liverpool man back in the summer, were quickly alerted, with subsequent reports stating that the Lilywhites were in pole position to sign Robertson.

The 32-year-old Scotland international, however, is not short of options, with five other teams keen on signing the soon-to-be free agent this summer.

Tottenham fans react to Spurs agreeing to an Andy Robertson deal

A fresh report from Fabrizio Romano now claims that Spurs have a verbal agreement to sign Andy Robertson in June 2026, with all terms understood to be in place.

However, he goes on to explain that nothing has been signed or sealed yet, as staying in the Premier League will be a key factor before proceeding.

Tottenham currently find themselves in the relegation places for the first time this campaign following West Ham’s victory over Wolves, although Spurs still have a game in hand.

Fans of the Lilywhites have now shared their reaction to the club’s latest pursuit of Robertson, and not many are pleased with the reports.

One supporter voiced concern over the nature of the potential deal, suggesting it may not align with the manager’s vision: “It’s a club signing, that’s what worries me most about this. What are the chances both Frank and De Zerbi really want him”

Another fan echoed that sentiment, claiming: “Clearly not a de zerbi signing… it’s a club signing… pathetic again” Frustration among the fanbase was also evident, with one supporter bluntly stating: “Fingers crossed we go down then”

One particularly unhappy fan criticised both the proposed contract and the player’s recent performance, adding: “£150,000 a week 2 year deal Worst player when we played them his error got us goal. Maybe he thought he was playing for Spurs already”

Elsewhere, some supporters reacted with dark humour, with one joking: “Relegation suddenly not looking so bad” Another took a similar stance, writing: “At least there’s one positive of getting relegated 👍🏼”The mood was further summed up by one fan who said: “We deserve relegation”

Finally, one supporter kept their stance clear and concise: “We dont want him”

Spurs Andy Robertson move raises questions over recruitment strategy

The decline of Tottenham in the last two seasons has been rather drastic, and many fans will agree that signings like these have left the club in its current position.

Robertson will bring experience to the club, but if the club are so desperate for such experience, then renewing Ben Davies’ contract seems the logical step.

Davies is just as old and, if he is departing north London, you would expect Tottenham to bring in a full-back who can challenge their current starters; however, going for Robertson to replace an older player seems counterproductive.

Given that Spurs have always been interested in Robertson, even before the appointment of De Zerbi, and are now moving for him regardless, further questions will arise over whether the Italian will have any say in the rebuilding of the club.

Regardless, Spurs must avoid relegation if they are even to give themselves the chance of attracting top talent.

Tottenham Hotspur are considering swooping for a young Bundesliga starlet on the back of his breakthrough season, but they will have to see off competition from two of their rivals.

There could be wholesale changes to the Spurs squad even if they stay up this summer, with Roberto De Zerbi expected to put his own imprint on the squad.

While the Italian may deem some of the players at Tottenham to be unsuitable for his style of play, he may also be forced into some changes.

That looks particularly likely at centre-back, with Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven continuing to be heavily linked with moves away from Spurs.

Tottenham battling two Premier League clubs for Karim Coulibaly

Earlier this week, news emerged that Tottenham are eyeing a £43.8m summer move for Karim Coulibaly, who is enjoying a breakthrough season at Werder Bremen.

The 18-year-old, who is a centre-back by trade but can also play as a number six, has thrived in his first taste of Bundesliga football, and a new report in The Daily Mail has now also backed up Tottenham’s interest in the youngster.

The report claims that the North Londoners are now ‘taking a close look’ at Coulibaly ahead of the summer, but they are not the only ones doing that.

Newcastle United and Chelsea are also running the rule over the German U21 international and could battle Tottenham for his signature.

Coulibaly’s transfer stance revealed amidst Spurs’ interest

The Mail also reveal that scouts from both Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have been to Bremen to watch the young centre-back in action this season.

A few days ago, Fabrizio Romano predicted that there would be a big race for Coulibaly this summer, revealing that the defender’s list of admirers is growing.

Interestingly, Romano also added that the teenager is ‘prepared for a new chapter this summer’, which suggests that the youngster is expecting a big move.

We take a look at Opta’s revised prediction for Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League finish after the Lilywhites fell into the bottom three for the first time.

There was always the risk that Spurs could be in the relegation zone by the time Roberto De Zerbi takes charge as his first game as Spurs boss, and that has now come to pass.

West Ham thrashed Wolves 4-0 at home on Friday to move up one place above Tottenham, with the pressure intensifying on the North Londoners.

De Zerbi has insisted he believes he can keep Spurs up, but he now knows that losing against Sunderland on Sunday could make the job much, much harder.

Opta still expect Tottenham to stay in the Premier League

Even though Spurs are sitting below West Ham in the table, Opta’s Supercomputer still expects Tottenham to finish 17th and for the Hammers to join Wolves and Burnley in the Championship next term.

However, there is not much between the two London rivals, with the data analysis platform stating that the Lilywhites are on course to end up with a tally of 38.43 points and the Hammers 38.35.

Further, their relegation likelihood for Spurs has now gone up, with De Zerbi’s men now being given a 34.96 per cent chance of going down, while the East London club have been 44.44 per cent chance of being relegated.

West Ham and Spurs have had contrasting form over recent months

While Opta seem to suggest that Tottenham still have their noses ahead in the battle to stay up, the worry for the Lilywhites is the fact that West Ham look the much more in-form team.

West Ham have picked up seven points from their last four matches, which places them at the top of the form table for that period, as per Transfermarkt.

Tottenham, on the other hand, are still looking for their first league win in 2026, and they desperately need to break that run at the Stadium of Light.

Tottenham Hotspur have now taken a significant step towards landing Andy Robertson on a free transfer this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Robertson appeared all set for a move to Tottenham during the winter transfer window, but the deal fell through in the end, with Liverpool blocking the 31-year-old’s switch to Spurs.

A few days ago, the experienced Tottenham target confirmed that he will be leaving Anfield when his contract runs out in the summer.

It appears that the North Londoners are wasting no time in trying to secure a deal for the Liverpool left-back.

Tottenham have a verbal agreement with Andy Robertson ahead of a summer move

A couple of days ago, David Ornstein revealed that Spurs are leading the race to sign Robertson ahead of the summer window.

Fabrizio Romano has now gone a step further, stating that Spurs have reached a verbal agreement with the Scotland international regarding the terms of his contract.

The journalist added that the experienced full-back is set to join Tottenham in the summer as long as they remain in the Premier League.

Romano wrote on X: “Tottenham have a verbal agreement to sign Andy Robertson in June 2026, all terms in place. Nothing signed/sealed yet as staying in Premier League will be a key factor ahead of proceeding. Robertson, ready to pick THFC project if relegation battle has positive outcome.”

Who are the other clubs chasing Robertson?

While Tottenham appear to be at the front of the queue to land the Liverpool star, the defender’s other suitors have not given up just yet.

It was reported earlier this week that Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Napoli are ready to challenge Spurs for Robertson’s signature this summer.

A new report has shed light on what Tottenham Hotspur are willing to do to beat a Champions League club to the signature of Marcos Senesi.

Neither Cristian Romero nor Micky van de Ven are guaranteed to be at Tottenham next season, with both Spurs centre-backs being pursued by some of the biggest clubs in Europe.

It has been revealed over the last few days that Tottenham have held talks with Marcos Senesi’s representatives regarding a switch to N17.

The centre-back’s current deal at Bournemouth runs out in June, and according to reports, Spurs are facing plenty of competition for the 28-year-old centre-back.

Tottenham willing to offer Marcos Senesi a higher salary than Juventus

A new report in TuttpSport reveals that Juventus have already held discussions over a move for the Bournemouth defender, who they have been ‘actively pursuing for several weeks’.

The report claims that the Serie A club have offered Senesi a four-year deal which will see him earn €3m (£2.6m) per season.

However, the outlet reveals that the Bianconeri face competition from the Premier League for the Argentine, including from Spurs, who are willing to give the Cherries star a contract worth €4m (£3.4m) per season.

It is revealed that Aston Villa are also fans of the centre-back, and Unai Emery’s men are also willing to offer him the same terms as the Lilywhites.

Senesi has already made his transfer stance clear

Tuttosport say that Juve not only have to deal with competition from the two Premier League sides, but also from Borussia Dortmund, who are on the defender’s trail.

The outlet claims that Senesi has already communicated to the Cherries that he will not be renewing his contract and wants to seek a new challenge in the summer.

The report adds that the Argentine international wants to leap to a top club and also a lucrative salary, in what could be the last big contract of his career.

Tottenham Hotspur have been extremely impressed by a young German starlet, but they will not find it easy to push through a deal for him in the summer.

There is a big element of the unknown at Tottenham as the summer transfer window draws closer.

Reports indicate that Roberto De Zerbi has been given the power to reshape the Spurs squad the way he wants to, and one would expect significant changes at N17 in the summer.

However, before he can think about his summer transfer targets, the Italian first needs to ensure that the Lilywhites are still in the Premier League next season.

Tottenham one of several clubs eyeing German starlet Niko Ilicevic

According to a report in Bild (as relayed by Sport Witness), Tottenham are one of the clubs in the picture to land Eintracht Frankfurt youngster Niko Ilicevic.

The attacking midfielder is only 15 years of age and is yet to get a taste of senior football, but his performances at the youth level have seen many talent spotters rank him as ‘one of the greatest talents in Europe’.

Spurs have been impressed by Ilicevic’s displays and are ‘want to lure’ the teenager to Hotspur Way this summer.

However, they could face intense competition for the youngster, with Chelsea, Newcastle United, Real Madrid and AC Milan also having scouted the player this season.

Eintracht Frankfurt’s stance on Ilicevic revealed

Bild say that Frankfurt want to promote the German U16 international to their first-team next season and are keen to offer him his first professional contract when he turns 16 in October.

In fact, the club’s sporting director, Markus Krösche, has already begun work on tying Ilicevic down to a new deal, having prioritised keeping the youngster at the club.

The outlet adds that Krosche is in close contact with the attacking midfielder’s family and has already presented the German club’s plan for his development to them.

An Argentine journalist has provided the latest update on Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of River Plate starlet Ian Subiabre.

Tottenham’s interest in Ian Subiabre dates back to last summer’s transfer window, with the 19-year-old winger catching the Lilywhites’ attention with his impressive displays in the Club World Cup.

It appears that the North Londoners have once again reignited their interest in the Argentine starlet ahead of the summer window.

It has been widely reported over the last few days that Spurs are ready to ‘accelerate’ their interest in Subiabre, with the Premier League side’s interest causing panic at River Plate.

Where Tottenham stand currently in Ian Subiabre transfer race

Argentine journalist Hernan Castillo has now revealed that Tottenham are involved in a four-horse race for the teenage winger ahead of the summer window.

He claimed that Spurs hold ‘very strong’ interest in Subiabre, who is also wanted by Chelsea, while Villarreal and Lazio have also made multiple enquiries regarding the youngster.

Castillo said on LOVE/ST (as translated by Sport Witness): “River is going to have a strong market in the middle of the year. They will spend, but they will also bring in money because it is very difficult for them to keep Subiabre. Very difficult.

“He has too much interest already. I know that Tottenham, Chelsea, Villarreal, and Lazio are making constant enquiries. And now Tottenham are very strong.”

Spurs considering sending an opening offer for Subiabre

It was previously reported that while Subiabre’s current deal contains €100m (£87.2m) release clause, the Tottenham target could be available for around €15m (£13.1m) this summer.

Castillo has now asserted that the Lilywhites are now considering sending an offer of around €12m to €14m (£10.4m-£12.2m) to River Plate for the teenager, adding that the player is likely to leave the Argentine giants.

The journalist added: “I know that for Subiabre, besides the people who represent him, there has already been an €8m offer that River rejected. And Tottenham are thinking about €12m or €14m.

“It is very, very likely that Subiabre will leave River. So they are going to have important money to go into the market and replace things they are already starting to replace.”

Tottenham Hotspur are battling to secure their Premier League status, but they can take comfort in the knowledge that they have some resources to aid them in the Championship if the unthinkable does happen.

Roberto De Zerbi has just seven games to save Tottenham from being relegated for the first time in 48 years, with the Lilywhites sitting just one point above the drop zone.

De Zerbi’s task has been made harder by the latest injury developments at Spurs, with the Italian needing to somehow turn around the form of a side that is without a single league win this calendar year.

The new Spurs boss has confirmed that he will be in charge next season, no matter what happens, and if disaster does strike over the next month and a half, one player could prove handy in the Championship for the club.

Tottenham youngster Ashley Phillips is nearing 100 Championship appearances

If Spurs do find themselves in the Championship, one defender may be set to play a key role next season in the club’s quest to bounce straight back up.

Ashley Phillips already had experience of regular first-team football in the second tier at Blackburn Rovers ahead of his move to Tottenham in 2023.

The centre-back has subsequently had a brief loan spell at Plymouth Argyle and has spent the last two seasons on loan at Stoke City.

Tottenham have revealed on their official website that Phillips has now made 79 appearances for the Potters, a record number for any loan player in the club’s history.

Spurs reveal that Phillips is now approaching 100 Championship appearances, having notched up 97 so far. The defender’s experience of the second-tier may make him a useful option for the Lilywhites if they find themselves in unfamiliar territory next season.

Spurs have made a Mikey Moore plan in case of relegation

Reports indicate Rangers have already held conversations with Tottenham about keeping Moore at the club next season on the back of the winger’s outstanding performances on loan this term.

However, TEAMtalk have claimed that Spurs want to hang onto Moore next season if they get relegated to the Championship.

The Lilywhites believe that the 18-year-old can be a key player in their promotion push should they go down.
