Tottenham defender Ben Davies could be heading for a surprise move this summer, with talks now underway between the experienced Welshman and Wrexham, who are pushing for an ambitious swoop as he nears free agency.

Ben Davies’ future is up in the air with his contract set to run out at the end of June. The 32-year-old has not been offered fresh terms as of yet, raising the prospect that he may have already played his final game for the club.

Should Tottenham choose not to extend his stay, Davies would walk away on a free transfer after more than a decade of service in north London.

That scenario is very much on the cards, although internal discussions regarding Davies’ future are still believed to be ongoing.

It was reported earlier this week that Tottenham are considering handing Ben Davies a 12-month extension, but as things stand, no decision has been reached, leaving the Welshman free to weigh up options ahead of the summer window.

Wrexham open talks to sign Tottenham defender Ben Davies

A fresh report from Football Insider has now revealed that Ben Davies is attracting interest from the Championship, with Wrexham moving early to try and secure his signature.

The ambitious Championship club have opened talks with the player ahead of his contract expiry on June 30, and are actively working on a deal to bring the Spurs man to Wales, as they look to secure promotion to England’s top flight.

Although Wrexham have made the first move, they are not alone in the race for Davies, with several clubs expected to make approaches should he become a free agent.

Leeds United monitoring Spurs defender Ben Davies

It has also been revealed that Ben Davies is expected to assess multiple offers before deciding on his next move, with Leeds United also keeping a close eye on developments.

The newly-promoted Premier League side has maintained a long-standing interest in the defender, having considered a move in the January window before ultimately holding back.

Daniel Farke’s side are now prepared to reignite that interest, especially if Davies becomes available without a transfer fee, and could provide a top-flight alternative to the Wrexham project.

Ryan Mason is the favourite to take over as West Bromwich Albion’s head coach, but the Tottenham assistant coach might hand the Lilywhites a big blow while heading through the exit door.

The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder is thought of very highly at Hotspur Way, as demonstrated by the fact that he has been entrusted as the interim head coach on two occasions.

The 33-year-old joined Ange Postecoglou’s coaching staff when the Australian arrived at the club two years ago, but his future is now up in the air.

Mason has been heavily linked with the top job at West Brom after being approached by the Baggies and a new update has now suggested that his departure may come at a big price for the Lilywhites.

Tottenham’s Ryan Mason may not go to West Brom alone

BBC Sport have now claimed that Mason has emerged as the clear first choice to replace Tony Mowbray at the Baggies.

The outlet says that discussions are well underway, and all parties are positive that the Spurs assistant coach will green light his first management role at the Championship side.

However, the outlet claims that Mason might take members of Spurs’ coaching team with him to The Hawthorns, which might come as a blow to the Lilywhites.

Given that the Tottenham man’s contract expires at the end of June, the Midlands side will not have to pay compensation to the North Londoners.

Could this be confirmation that Ange Postecoglou will leave?

It remains to be seen who Mason takes with him as he is very well acquainted with all the academy coaches at the club, having been at Spurs for a long time.

However, if the likes of Nick Montgomery, Sergio Raimundo or Rob Burch follow Mason to West Brom, that will perhaps serve as confirmation that Postecoglou is on his way out.

Tottenham players are set to swap club for country as 16 Europa League champions prepare to feature on the international stage this June.

With the club’s 2024/25 season now over, attention is set to turn to international football, with several national teams expected to play in June.

For Tottenham Hotspur players, they now have the opportunity to wear the jersey of their national teams after putting a smile on the faces of several fans of the Lilywhites following their recent triumph in the Europa League.

Guglielmo Vicario was called up for international duty but pulled out after picking up an unspecified injury, which will see him miss out on Italy’s two World Cup qualifying games.

Tottenham confirm 16 players on international duty

Tottenham have now confirmed that 16 players will be flying across the globe to represent their countries during the upcoming break.

The June international break is set to begin on the 2nd and will run until the 10th, with each national team expected to play two fixtures during this window.

These fixtures will include World Cup qualifiers, with the 2026 edition of the tournament now just a year away. Of the 16 Spurs players called up, 12 have been selected at senior level.

Spurs youngsters handed youth international call-ups

Spurs also have a handful of their academy prospects preparing to represent their countries at the youth level. Archie Gray, Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert are expected to feature for their respective nations at under-21 level, while Mikey Moore has been selected to represent England at under-19 level.

Luka Vuskovic, who is currently out on loan, also received his first senior call-up for Croatia earlier this month, following his standout performances for Westerlo.

Tottenham Hotspur face a huge emotional and financial decision should they decide to part ways with Ange Postecoglou this summer, with a significant payout clause coming into play.

The future of the man in the Tottenham Hotspur dugout remains in doubt despite him ending the club’s 17-year wait for silverware.

Indeed, Postecoglou struggled domestically, leading Spurs to their worst ever English top-flight finish after the Lilywhites ended their Premier League campaign last term in 17th place, losing 22 out of 38 games.

The Spurs players continue to back Postecoglou, who has managed to foster togetherness at Hotspur Way, with the squad now in high spirits following the Europa League triumph.

Tottenham face £7 million payout to sack Ange Postecoglou

Of course, the Tottenham board have a big decision to make this summer, deciding whether to stick with the Australian manager or to look elsewhere.

Reports continue to do the rounds that Spurs still have their eyes out for other managerial options, should they sack Ange Postecoglou, with Brentford’s Thomas Frank a name in consideration.

It was reported a few days back that Brentford are getting worried they might lose their head coach amidst interest from Spurs.

However, if Tottenham are to sack Postecoglou, it has now been revealed by Football Insider that Daniel Levy and company would have to pay the Australian a £7 million payout.

Postecoglou’s Tottenham contract and Daniel Levy’s decision

Ange Postecoglou’s contract is set to expire in June 2027, which would complete the four-year deal he signed when he joined back in 2023.

The Australian manager currently earns £5 million a year and is expected to receive a £2 million bonus after leading Tottenham to their first European trophy since 1984.

Should he be sacked this summer, Spurs would likely have to pay Postecoglou a full year’s salary, including his bonus, making a £7 million payout.

The 59-year-old looks as though he would love to remain at Tottenham after Postecoglou’s comments during Spurs’ trophy parade put the ball firmly in Daniel Levy’s court, following a bold claim about his Tottenham future.

The manager stated that he was ready to continue delivering success at Tottenham Hotspur, stating: “This club deserves it. And I will tell you something, I leave you with this – all the best television series, season three is better than season two.”

Spurs, of course, need to decide on the Tottenham manager’s future as soon as possible if they are to give themselves a chance to build on their recent success.

Tottenham have been urged to make a bold statement in the summer transfer window by moving for a four-time Bundesliga champion who is set to become a free agent.

The summer transfer window is yet to open, but Tottenham Hotspur have already been linked with a few players ahead of its official commencement.

Leroy Sane is one name that has been floated in transfer discussions involving Tottenham, with reports earlier this week suggesting that Spurs have been offered the chance to sign Sane, after he failed to reach an agreement with Bayern Munich following contract renewal talks.

It has since emerged that the former Manchester City winger is open to a return to the Premier League and to London specifically, which serves as a significant boost to Tottenham’s pursuit.

Tottenham urged to sign Leroy Sane by former player

Tottenham supporters have made their feelings known regarding the possibility of Leroy Sane joining Spurs, with some fans arguing that the winger’s best days are behind him, suggesting that it is a move that should have been made several years ago.

Others within the Tottenham fanbase have pointed to Sane’s reported weekly wages of nearly £250,000 as being well above what Spurs typically accommodate, especially given Daniel Levy’s history with the club’s wage structure.

Despite these concerns, it has been noted that Daniel Levy maintains a solid relationship with Sane’s new agent, Pini Zahavi, who is currently trying to negotiate improved terms for his client at Bayern Munich.

Now, former Tottenham player Jamie O’Hara has weighed in on the speculation, calling on Daniel Levy to make a bold move by securing the signature of the four-time Bundesliga winner.

He tweeted: “Daniel Levy sign Leroy Sane and make a statement. Big club big players.”

What Leroy Sane to Spurs could mean for Mathys Tel

Indeed, signing Leroy Sane on a pre-contract agreement would not be considered poor business by Daniel Levy, who is always looking to minimise costs where possible, particularly as there would be no transfer fee involved.

However, it has been reported that should Sane complete a move to N17, then a permanent deal for Mathys Tel would likely be shelved, with Tottenham previously said to be exploring the possibility of signing the young forward at a reduced price.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly parted ways with an experienced academy coach, who was said to be very highly regarded at Hotspur Way.

According to various reports, there are expected to be wholesale changes at Tottenham this summer, with directors, coaches and various departments under the scanner after a poor domestic season.

The most anticipated decision is regarding the future of the first-team coaching staff, with Ange Postecoglou expected to be sacked.

His assistant, Ryan Mason could also resign after being offered the role of West Brom head coach, according to various sources, but the first coach to exit Hotspur Way this summer is a highly-regarded and experienced academy coach.

Tottenham Hotspur dismiss academy coach Paul Bracewell

It has been reported by Football Insider that Spurs have dismissed senior academy coach Paul Bracewell with immediate effect.

Bracewell is said to have developed an excellent reputation as a high-class developmental coach over his many years of service at Tottenham Hotspur, having helped nurture many a young talent that has come through the academy.

He has now departed the North London club and it is suggested that he could soon find himself in a new job, with offers already on the table.

According to some sources inside Tottenham, Bracewell has been let go “due to his role being made redundant”.

Another senior Spurs official is expected to depart

It has been widely reported over recent weeks that Fabio Paratici is expected to return to Spurs in a formal role this summer and he will be joined by Vinai Venkatesham, who has been appointed as the club’s new CEO.

However, the pair’s arrival is not good news for one senior Tottenham man, who has been the number two to Daniel Levy for the past two years.

Many at Tottenham felt last week that Ange Postecoglou was likely to be sacked and his chances of staying have come down even further according to a new update by The Independent’s Miguel Delaney.

Daniel Levy faces a very difficult decision on Postecoglou’s future after the Australian broke the club’s 17-year trophy drought by delivering the Europa League title.

Over the past few days, various reports have indicated that the expectation in Hotspur Way is for Postecoglou to be sacked, although the Australian is continuing to hope that the Spurs board will have a change of heart.

Some Tottenham players have voiced their support for Postecoglou, but it remains to be seen if that is likely to have any impact on Levy’s decision.

Ange Postecoglou’s chances of Tottenham stay have dropped

Miguel Delaney previously said that Postecoglou has a 5 per cent chance of remaining in charge of Tottenham at the start of next season.

In his latest, Reading The Game Newsletter, the journalist claims that the Australian’s chances of keeping his job have dropped even further.

While it is not known when Spurs will make the change, Delaney makes it clear that the 59-year-old’s departure is extremely likely.

He writes: “As of Friday morning, Tottenham Hotspur still hadn’t made an official decision on Ange Postecoglou but the chances of staying had apparently gone down from last week’s ‘5 per cent’. His departure is still expected, whenever that may be.”

Why Daniel Levy may be hesitant to back Postecoglou

It has been widely reported that Tottenham are expected to make some ambitious moves in the summer window after securing Champions League qualification.

However, the Spurs hierarchy may be reluctant to give those funds to Postecoglou as they would find themselves in a real pickle if the league form does not improve at the start of next season.

Tottenham have made an enquiry for a Chelsea forward, with fresh reports naming them as the most serious Premier League contender in the race for his signature.

We reported a few days ago that Tottenham Hotspur had shown interest in signing Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku, in what could be one of the most unexpected moves of the summer window.

It was stated by a Spanish outlet that Tottenham are willing to negotiate a loan deal for Nkunku with Chelsea, including a €45 million (£38m) option to buy the forward.

The report also claimed that this proposal could appeal to Chelsea, who are keen to offload the player after an underwhelming campaign, as they look to recoup part of their investment.

Tottenham push ahead with Christopher Nkunku interest

However, British media outlet TeamTalk refuted those claims, stating that the Spanish outlet is not a “reliable” source and that their report should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Now, fresh reports from Ben Jacobs of GIVEMESPORT support the claims of Tottenham’s interest in the Chelsea forward.

The journalist, in a tweet on X (formerly Twitter), stated that Spurs have enquired about Christopher Nkunku and are the most concrete Premier League option at this moment in time.

He also noted that suggestions linking the Chelsea man with Newcastle United and Liverpool are wide of the mark.

Jacobs wrote: “Christopher Nkunku is expected to leave Chelsea this summer. Bayern made an approach in January and Nkunku was keen.

“Chelsea wanted €60m+ back then with a view to getting more back than they paid. Nkunku would welcome a new Bayern bid, and is also open to staying in the Premier League.

“Understand Spurs have enquired and are the most concrete Premier League suitor currently, but links with Newcastle and Liverpool are wide of the mark.”

Bayern Munich interest and Nkunku’s stance on Premier League stay

Ben Jacobs has also revealed that while Tottenham Hotspur are interested in the Frenchman, they are not alone in their pursuit.

According to his report, Bayern Munich made an approach in January for Nkunku and the Chelsea forward was keen on the move.

However, Chelsea wanted €60m+ (£51m) at the time, hoping to recoup more than what they had initially paid. With no agreement reached between the two sides, it is now being reported that Nkunku would welcome a new bid from Bayern, but is also open to staying in the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur have just suffered a setback in their pursuit of Hugo Larsson after finding out how much they would have to fork out to sign the Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder this summer.

The youngster has emerged as one of the best number sixes in the Bundesliga over the last two years and Spurs saw firsthand just how talented he is during their Europa League quarterfinal clash with Eintracht.

Over the last couple of months, it has been reported by a few outlets that Spurs have expressed interest in a transfer deal for Larsson.

Tottenham are expected to face transfer competition for Larsson from other Premier League clubs, and the Lilywhites have now found out just how much the 20-year-old will cost to sign.

Tottenham will have to spend big to sign Hugo Larsson

GiveMeSport have claimed that Tottenham have been informed by Frankfurt that they can forget about bringing the talented Swede to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on a discount.

The Bundesliga club are expecting several offers for Larsson this summer as the Lilywhites are far from the only side to have expressed an interest in the youngster.

Eintracht are thus determined to hold out for a hefty fee, with the club telling suitors that they will have to pay £50m to sign the midfielder.

The report states that Tottenham Hotspur face an uphill battle to land Larsson and adds that it would come as a shock if the North London club agreed to meet the German club’s demands.

Spurs contemplating move as Eintracht Frankfurt make contingency plans

GiveMeSport say that Spurs are still contemplating whether to open discussions for Larsson over the coming weeks and test the waters over a potential deal.

Interestingly, it is revealed that Eintracht are preparing for the midfielder’s departure this summer and are attempting to sign Sunderland’s Jobe Bellingham as a replacement.

Football finance expert Stefan Borson explains how winning the Europa League final has left Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United with contrasting cash flow situations ahead of a crucial transfer window for both clubs.

Both Spurs and United have had shocking campaigns domestically, and both clubs will be determined to get back in and around the top six next season, which is where they belong.

It has been well documented that neither club are in a strong position financially, with some outlets claiming over the last few months that Tottenham have to sell before they can buy this summer.

However, winning the Europa League has changed the North London club’s fortunes, with Tottenham’s coffers expected to be boosted by around £180m, owing to their participation in next season’s Champions League.

Stefan Borson says Tottenham’s cash issues have been solved for now

Borson has now pointed out that, unlike other clubs across the Premier League, the main financial issue facing Man United and Spurs has not to do with PSR or revenue, but rather their cash flow and inability to raise any more debt.

He explains that Tottenham Hotspur’s problem has been solved as a result of the huge financial boost they will now receive, but the Red Devils remain in a very bad position.

Borson told Football Insider: “With Spurs and Manchester United, you’ve got the capturing of additional cash flow. Both teams appear to have issues. Forget PSR, revenue and profit from an accounting perspective.

“From an actual cash perspective, actually having the money to go and do the things that you need to do to pay for players and for transfers, both of the clubs seem to have an issue with cash at the moment and find it quite difficult to raise money from third-party sources.

“They have both got individual issues with respect to that, but both of them don’t seem to be able to raise any more debt. They have both got individual issues with respect to that, but both of them don’t seem to be able to raise any more debt. This will be good for Tottenham Hotspur because this will mean that they’ve got the cash.

“Obviously, it’s tricky if you’re United because they won’t have the cash that they would get from Europe. By cash, I mean money coming through from prize money and also people literally paying through the gate for those games through direct debits, credit cards etc.

“That is cash that comes into the club that you can then spend and that you don’t need to wait for down the line. So, it’s good for Spurs and bad for Manchester United.”

Tottenham are expected to flex their financial muscle this summer

It has been reported over recent days that Spurs are ready to make some statement signings this summer after sealing Champions League qualification.

Tottenham’s recruitment department is expected to prioritise adding proven experience to their ranks as the Lilywhites aim to build a strong enough squad to deal with the rigours of Champions League football.
