Ian Wright has made a bold claim about Harry Kane that will surely grab the attention of Tottenham fans around the world.

Harry Kane has been away from Tottenham Hotspur for two seasons now, but a second reunion came during pre-season when Bayern Munich faced Spurs.

The striker, who remains Tottenham’s all-time leading scorer, wasted little time in reminding the Lilywhites of his quality as he struck early in the game, though he also missed a penalty in the same match.

Tottenham fans are well accustomed to seeing the England captain hit the back of the net, as Kane scored 213 goals in 320 Premier League appearances, leaving him just short of Alan Shearer’s long-standing record of 260 goals.

That tally remains one of the most significant individual achievements left in the English top flight for the England captain. However, with Kane continuing his career in the Bundesliga, it seems highly unlikely that he would ever get the chance to surpass Shearer’s record.

Ian Wright tips Kane for Premier League return

That is where Ian Wright’s prediction becomes particularly interesting for Spurs fans. Speaking on the ‘Stick to Football’ podcast, the panel were challenged to make their bold predictions for the upcoming season.

While Gary Neville, Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher all offered playful answers, it was Wright who made a statement that carried genuine weight.

“Harry Kane to come back to the Premier League,” Wright said firmly, which prompted Neville to question whether he truly believed that might happen as soon as January, once the mid-season transfer window opens.

In response, Wright doubled down: “Yeah, I am going to say yeah.” It was a simple prediction – one that Spurs supporters in particular will not ignore.

Could Tottenham bring Harry Kane back?

If Kane does return to England, then Tottenham would appear to be the most realistic destination.

Manchester United have already signed Benjamin Sesko, Arsenal have secured Viktor Gyokeres, Manchester City boast Erling Haaland, and Liverpool have Hugo Ekitike, while also maintaining interest in Alexander Isak.

Heung-min Son has already made history in the United States, with his latest feat putting him above global icons Lionel Messi and LeBron James just days after leaving Tottenham for LAFC.

A new era at Tottenham Hotspur had already begun before the club kicked a ball in their first competitive match of the 2025/26 season.

Heung-min Son’s departure was announced during Spurs’ pre-season tour in South Korea, and it immediately stirred emotions across N17 and the wider football world, as the player long regarded as ‘Mr Tottenham’ brought an end to his decade-long stay, closing a chapter that defined an era.

Son is firmly a Tottenham legend, and while Spurs supporters mourn the loss of their captain, the club will take solace in the fact that they managed to collect a fee of £19.5 million, a respectable profit given the revenue he generated throughout his ten years in north London.

Tottenham legend Heung-min Son breaks global shirt sales record at LAFC

The former Tottenham captain has not taken long to make his mark in the MLS, with LAFC’s Co-President and General Manager John Thorrington revealing that Son has already smashed records since arriving in Los Angeles.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Thorrington explained that Heung-min Son’s LAFC shirt has become the best-selling jersey of any athlete across the globe, overtaking the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and basketball superstar LeBron James.

“This is now the second week where we are not just talking about the highest-selling football jersey in the MLS,” Thorrington said. “It is the highest-selling jersey of any sport in the world right now.”

When pressed by host Andy Goldstein to clarify if he really meant Son’s shirt, Thorrington confirmed: “I am talking about Son. Right now, he has sold more jerseys than Messi.”

Still stunned, Goldstein questioned again if this included all athletes worldwide, to which Thorrington replied: “If you take from when he signed at LAFC to now, he has sold more jerseys than any other athlete in the world.”

“That is the scale of this,” Thorrington added.

Son’s popularity continues to deliver staggering numbers

While the statistic is astonishing, it should not come as a complete surprise given Heung-min Son’s global appeal and the fanbase he has built over the years.

At 33 years old, Son commands support from across the Middle East, a strong following in England from his Tottenham years, and now an ever-growing fanbase in the United States.

During his time at Tottenham, Daniel Levy was reported to have earned between £40 million and £60 million annually due to Son’s presence, a figure that experts believe Spurs will now miss out on.

The scale of his popularity was clear in north London, where an average of 5,000 Korean fans attended Tottenham home matches to watch their hero.

Tottenham Hotspur fans have been quick to share their thoughts after a well-known club insider revealed that the North London side are showing interest in a versatile defender capable of bolstering their back line.

Fresh reports have emerged indicating that Tottenham Hotspur have identified Bayer Leverkusen’s Piero Hincapie as their preferred option for the left-sided centre-back role.

It is believed that if Spurs are to secure the services of the Ecuador international this summer, they would need to part with a substantial fee for a player who can also operate effectively as a left back when required.

While Tottenham are not short of options in central defence, last season’s injury troubles have heightened the need for a reliable left-sided centre-back who can deputise for the injury-prone Micky van de Ven.

Tottenham Hotspur supporters have been vocal in their response to the latest reports linking the club with a move for a defender of Hincapie’s calibre.

Many fans are excited by the prospect, while others have questioned the financial side of things, especially as Spurs is also said to be in pursuit of Savinho and Eberechi Eze.

One fan remarked: “Wtf ??? Have we got an unlimited money glitch?”. Another admitted they love the idea but questioned its feasibility: “Love the idea and he’s a very good player, BUT did not Leverkusen say that after Xhaka, no more outgoings would be happening?”

Another supporter remained cautious, asking: “When are any of these deals coming in Paul? Savinho, Eze, now Hincapie. At the moment, it is all fugazi until they are there holding the shirt”.

One fan urged the club to prioritise the other targets first: “Wonderful player. But get Savinho and Eze done first, please.”

Others were more straightforward, with one saying: “Omds yes please” and another asking: “On top of Eze and Savinho??” to which O’Keefe replied: “Yes”.

Spurs face competition for Piero Hincapie’s signature

Tottenham are not alone in their interest in Piero Hincapie, with reports suggesting that Atletico Madrid have also been monitoring the centre-back. However, talks appear to have broken down, with the Spanish club unwilling to meet his £52.5m release clause.

Liverpool and Chelsea are also said to have made enquiries about the Ecuadorian, but Leverkusen have reportedly made it clear they are not willing to entertain offers for him.

Bayer Leverkusen manager Erik ten Hag has also stated his desire to keep Hincapie at the club, especially in light of Jonathan Tah’s departure earlier in the window.

Jamie O’Hara has hit back at a bold Premier League prediction involving Tottenham, branding it a “stupid comment” and accusing the pundit of trying to be funny but ending up boring.

Of course, it was a domestic campaign for Tottenham Hotspur to forget last season, as the Lilywhites finished just a spot above the relegation zone after losing 22 top-flight matches.

The blow of that dismal showing was softened by Ange Postecoglou delivering Europa League silverware, although even that was not enough to save him from the sack.

A new era has now begun at Tottenham, with Thomas Frank taking charge and aiming for a much stronger league campaign than his predecessor managed.

Jamie O’Hara clashes over Tottenham relegation prediction

During a debate on talkSPORT, Cundy made the claim that Tottenham could be relegated this season, when asked about his wildcard prediction ahead of the new Premier League campaign.

He said: “Wild predictions, I do not think this is that wild actually, Spurs get relegated… Let me ask you this question, go back twelve months to this very day, we are doing the same show and you say exactly the same thing, and I would say to you Spurs finish 17th, what would you have said?”

Jamie O’Hara responded sharply: “I would laugh.” When asked why he was not laughing now, he replied: “Because it is not going to happen, we have improved the squad, gotten a new manager. Come on…”

Cundy pressed again: “Let us go back 12 months and I am saying Spurs to finish 17th, what would you have said?”

O’Hara answered: “I would have said you are joking, but that did happen, but we won a trophy. So why are we talking about last season?” Cundy doubled down with: “Spurs get relegated and wins a trophy.”

The former Spurs midfielder snapped back: “I am asking you for a story which is unrealistic that you think might happen this season.

“Do not say Spurs are going to get relegated because it is not going to happen. You know it is a stupid comment, you sit there smirking at me, you think you are funny, but you are boring, mate. Alright. So take it serious.”

Cundy ended with: “What I am saying to you is think about what I have said, it is not as ridiculous 12 months ago if I had said you finish 17th.”

To which a visibly irritated O’Hara replied: “Well done Jase, Spurs get relegated, that is what you pay the big bucks for.”

Could Tottenham really face relegation?

The club have been active in the summer transfer window so far, with reports still linking them to further additions. Should Eberechi Eze and Savinho arrive, Tottenham could well be in the mix for a top-six finish or, at the very least, European qualification.

Spurs only finished 17th last season due to an unprecedented injury crisis, and the fact that Postecoglou prioritised Europe over the Premier League in the final months of the season.

Cundy is just looking for cheap clicks. There is no doubt that Tottenham will make big strides under Frank this season. Hopefully, the 3-0 opening day win will silence the doubters, at least a little bit.

Tottenham’s pursuit of Manchester City winger Savinho has taken another twist, with reports now revealing why the Brazilian is tempted by a move to north London.

It is no news that Tottenham Hotspur are looking to complete the signing of Manchester City winger Savinho this summer.

Tottenham are even understood to have put in a bid for Savio, only for it to be rejected as it fell short of City’s valuation of their player.

Savinho, however, is open to a move to Tottenham, according to reports, and now it has been revealed why the Brazilian is keen on N17.

Why Savinho is tempted by a Tottenham move

This is according to the Daily Mail, who report that Savinho remains unsure of the role he would be given at Manchester City, which is why he has left the door open for Tottenham to make their move.

Spurs, on the other hand, are understood to be preparing to return with a fresh move for Savinho after Manchester City rebuffed their initial enquiry.

The north London side are said to be readying a firm bid for the Brazilian winger as they continue to push for his signature.

City are reported to be demanding a fee in excess of £50million, but the very fact that Savinho is weighing up his future offers encouragement for Tottenham, who know the winger is not fully settled about his prospects under Pep Guardiola.

Guardiola addresses Savinho’s future amid Spurs interest

The City boss himself has already spoken on Savinho’s situation, admitting that while he would prefer to keep the 21-year-old, the club could do business if the right bid were to come in.

It is also claimed that Manchester City face the challenge of balancing their squad for European football, as UEFA’s restrictions mean they must trim their number of non-homegrown players ahead of the Champions League campaign, which could make Savinho one of the players available for sale despite his talent and promise.

Tottenham Hotspur are off to a fantastic start in the Premier League, destroying newly promoted Burnley after being on the wrong end of a two-goal comeback last Wednesday.

Tottenham got off to a flying start in the Premier League, putting three goals past Martin Dubravka.

Spurs did not look overly convincing in the first half, but managed to reach the interval with a one-goal lead. The second half bore more fruit, as Thomas Frank celebrated his first competitive win with his new club.

Here are the three winners and losers from Tottenham’s season opener:

Richarlison could become the first-choice striker at Tottenham

If the media had their way, Richarlison would be kicking a ball around somewhere in either Turkey or Saudi Arabia. However, the Brazilian forward has remained focused on his Tottenham career and his perseverance has been rewarded.

Richarlison was the standout man for Spurs today. He put his team ahead early and scored a brilliant goal in the second half, which might just end up being a contender for goal of the season.

The 28-year-old was very good against PSG, but not so much for his attacking threat. However, it was his quality in front of goal which allowed him to steal the show at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Richarlison will certainly have his sights set on becoming Frank’s permanent first-choice striker. With Spurs yet to sign another centre-forward this summer, his chances are looking increasingly promising.

Mohammed Kudus delivers again for Spurs

Finding a winger who consistently performs each week has been an issue for Tottenham over the past few years. Lauding Mohammed Kudus as consistent after only a few games might be premature, but he has looked phenomenal almost every time he has worn lilywhite.

Today was no different, as Kudus twice assisted Richarlison and was Tottenham’s most creative player on the pitch. His partnership with Pedro Porro has definitely made Spurs look stronger on the right flank.

There were some concerns when Kudus joined Tottenham, because his second season at West Ham was underwhelming when compared with his first. However, if he continues to play at his current level, the sky is the limit.

Lucas Bergvall is back to his best

Missing a first opportunity to compete in a European final due to injury is a cruel blow. To then be given no more than stoppage time to make an impact in the UEFA Super Cup must be a huge frustration.

However, Lucas Bergvall has not complained. Instead, he delivered an energetic performance and helped Spurs to a comfortable victory. In fact, he almost put Tottenham ahead within the opening minute of the match.

The Swedish teenager contributed in defence, and his dribbling and passing were on point against Burnley. There is plenty of competition in the Tottenham midfield, but if Bergvall stays grounded and keeps delivering, he should be handed plenty of minutes this season.

Now, let’s take a look at the three losers from Tottenham’s 3-0 win over Burnley.

Dominic Solanke once again started on the bench

Dominic Solanke was not clinical enough last season, but few would have predicted he would lose his first-team spot at Tottenham, unless a new striker was signed.

However, with Richarlison putting in another top-class performance, the Englishman could be seeing a lot more of the bench this season. After all, Richarlison is already just seven goals away from Solanke’s goal tally last season, with 37 league fixtures still to play.

Of course, Tottenham are competing in four different competitions, so even if Solanke is second choice, he will still have his moments to impress Frank. If he wants to avoid this consolation prize and resume his position in the starting lineup, he needs to find a way to be a bigger goal threat.

Yves Bissouma could still be sold by Tottenham

Despite being left out of Tottenham’s UEFA Super Cup squad for disciplinary reasons, Thomas Frank said Yves Bissouma would be in Tottenham’s squad to face Burnley. However, the midfielder did not appear on the Spurs team sheet, which could indicate he no longer has a role to play at the club.

Bissouma had a strong finish to last season, but his time at Tottenham has largely been underwhelming. With Joao Paulinha now an option for Frank, the 28-year-old may no longer be needed.

The Malian’s contract expires next summer, so a move before the transfer window ends would make perfect sense.

Wilson Odobert had to settle for a 10-minute cameo

Mathys Tel was preferred to Wilson Odobert on Wednesday night, as a replacement for Kudus. Today, the Frenchman again found himself on the bench, as Kudus claimed the right wing role, while Brennan Johnson operated on the left.

Despite a poor performance in the first half, Johnson got himself on the scoresheet in the second, which would have done Odobert no favours.

Even though the 20-year-old impressed in pre-season, it does not look like he will be starting many matches in the Premier League. This is unfortunate, because Odobert looked like one of Tottenham’s most positive players across their summer friendlies.

Eberechi Eze has been included in Crystal Palace’s squad to face Chelsea, despite ongoing speculation surrounding his future and Tottenham’s strong interest in securing his signature.

Tottenham Hotspur are still firmly in the race to sign Crystal Palace talisman Eberechi Eze this summer window, with talks between both clubs said to be ongoing.

The midfielder has been a long-term target for Spurs, who are looking to strengthen Thomas Frank’s squad ahead of a demanding campaign.

Reports suggest that Eze is keen on making the switch to Tottenham, with personal terms between the player and the North London club already agreed.

It had even been claimed that, given the increasing speculation, the Palace star could potentially sit out the Eagles’ opening Premier League clash against Chelsea.

Eberechi Eze starts for Crystal Palace against Chelsea

That speculation has now been put to bed, as Palace boss Oliver Glasner has named Eze in his matchday squad for the London derby.

The official Crystal Palace lineup to take on Chelsea has been released and Eberechi Eze is not just involved, he starts in his preferred number ten role.

The 27-year-old remains central to Glasner’s plans, at least for now, with Palace still looking to begin their season on a strong note.

Eze featured in Palace’s recent community clash against Liverpool, where the Eagles claimed a morale-boosting victory.

Palace will now hope to build momentum from their triumph over Liverpool and secure an opening-day win, although all eyes will be on Eze and what the coming weeks may hold for him.

Palace’s social media team went a step further, making Eze the focus within their starting XI graphic.

Tottenham transfer chase for Eberechi Eze

This could prove to be Eberechi Eze’s final game in Crystal Palace colours this season, with Tottenham continuing to push for his signature before the transfer window closes.

If Spurs get the deal over the line, Eze could well be lining up in white rather than red and blue when Palace next take to the pitch.

Tottenham kicked off their Premier League campaign in fine fashion with a commanding 3-0 victory over Burnley, with Frank’s side showing early signs of fluidity and ruthlessness in attack.

Journalist Graeme Bailey has shed light on the feeling at Tottenham Hotspur surrounding their pursuit of Eberechi Eze as the speculation linking the attacking midfielder with a switch to N17 intensifies.

Most Spurs fans have been constantly refreshing their social media feeds for the last 24 hours, amidst the speculation over the Crystal Palace star’s future.

According to various reports, Eze is inching closer to Tottenham, with talks between the North London club and the Eagles currently ongoing.

Fabrizio Romano revealed on Saturday that Eze has already agreed personal terms with Spurs, and has made it clear to Crystal Palace that he wants to move to N17.

What is the feeling at Tottenham about their Eberechi Eze pursuit?

Journalist Greame Bailey explained that Oliver Glasner’s men were originally hoping to cash in on Marc Guehi and keep Eze, but it is the former QPR man who is now closer to an exit.

He added that sources at Tottenham are confident that they will clinch a deal for the attacking midfielder.

Bailey told TBR Football: “Talks are ongoing – Palace in an ideal world would like to sell Marc Guehi and keep Eberechi Eze now his release clause has expired, but that does not appear to be happening – indeed the opposite with Guehi staying and Eze going.

“We understand that Eze has made it clear to Palace that he would like to make the move to Spurs, and he is now focused on making that switch before the window closes.

“Speaking to Spurs sources – they are confident they get Eze done. In terms of Savinho, maybe less so, but talks are ongoing with that too.”

Thomas Frank and a senior Spurs figure are driving the Eze pursuit

It emerged last week that Tottenham assistant coach Justin Cochrane has a very close relationship with Eze, with the pair having worked together in the England set-up.

Journalist Ben Jacobs revealed a couple of days ago that Frank and Cochraine are the main driving forces behind Tottenham’s pursuit of Eze.

Reports have now revealed what Thomas Frank told Morgan Gibbs-White following the collapse of his proposed move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Had everything gone right for Tottenham Hotspur earlier in the transfer window, the club could already have secured a new number ten to lead their attack.

Supporters will remember the week when Mohammed Kudus completed his move, followed by reports just days later that Tottenham had activated the £60 million release clause of Morgan Gibbs-White.

The excitement only grew when it was claimed that a medical was scheduled within 24 hours, with Spurs prepared to spend a staggering £115 million in the space of a few days.

What initially looked like decisive action in the market quickly unravelled, as the move collapsed in dramatic fashion and Tottenham were left empty-handed.

Morgan Gibbs-White calls Thomas Frank after Tottenham saga

The situation took a bitter turn when Nottingham Forest threatened legal action, believing Tottenham had illegally approached their star man.

Days of excitement swiftly turned to frustration as Gibbs-White decided against leaving Forest and instead committed his future to the club by signing a new long-term contract.

Football.London has now revealed what followed after the Morgan Gibbs-White deal fell through.

It is understood that after penning his new deal, Gibbs-White personally phoned Thomas Frank to apologise for the way the talks and speculation had played out. Frank, however, reassured him that there was no need for an apology.

Tottenham shift focus to Eberechi Eze after Gibbs-White blow

Gibbs-White has long been admired by Frank, with the Danish coach having previously tried to sign him during his spell in charge of Brentford.

Although disappointed to miss out, Tottenham have now turned their attention to alternative number ten targets, with Eberechi Eze emerging as the top priority.

Tottenham and Arsenal are both circling Eberechi Eze this summer, but a fresh update has tipped the likely winner in the race to sign the Crystal Palace star.

Tottenham Hotspur continue to push hard for the signing of Eberechi Eze in this transfer window as they remain focused on strengthening their options in the number ten role.

It is no surprise that Spurs are so intent on adding the Palace playmaker, given that James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are both sidelined with injuries that could keep them out for a lengthy spell.

The north London side have tracked Eze for several windows now and, after years of speculation, this summer could finally bring a conclusion to a long-running transfer saga.

Tottenham ahead of Arsenal in Eberechi Eze chase

Arsenal are also monitoring Eberechi Eze, but their position is far less straightforward, with reports indicating that they would need to move players on before launching a formal bid.

Football Insider has revealed that the Gunners would have to sell at least one of Leandro Trossard or Reiss Nelson before making their move, which leaves Tottenham in a stronger position for the moment.

Sharing more details on the situation, Pete O’Rourke has told Football Insider that Spurs remain at the front of the queue.

MORE SPURS STORIES

He said: “Tottenham have rekindled their interest in Eze. They were the ones who have always been the front-runners over the last couple of transfer windows.

“It seems Spurs have been pushing to bring the player to the club. Arsenal have showed interest this summer, but it is a case for them of offloading a few players from the squad before they can move forward with a deal for Eze.

“There has been talk that they want to offload the likes of Reiss Nelson and Leandro Trossard.

“That gives Spurs the advantage right now, they are looking to steal a march on Arsenal and get a deal done for Eze, but it will not be easy to do.

“His release clause is soon to expire and it is still expensive at £68million. With James Maddison picking up that potentially season-ending injury, Tottenham do need a new number ten.

“Palace do not want to lose Eze, Oliver Glasner wants to keep hold of his best players. If Tottenham come up with an offer, it will be up to Palace what they want to do with it. Eze does have options, but it seems Tottenham are ahead of Arsenal right now.”

Spurs agree on personal terms with Eze

Fabrizio Romano has since added further clarity to the situation by providing an update on Eberechi Eze’s future amid links to Tottenham.

The transfer insider revealed that Spurs are actively working to secure a deal with Crystal Palace, with negotiations ongoing between the two clubs.
