Transfer market expert Graeme Bailey has confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur are one of several clubs who have made contact over a move for an England international after his club’s relegation from the Premier League.

Free transfers always tend to be hotly contested, particularly if we are talking about a player who is proven at the highest level.

That appears to be the case with Kyle Walker-Peters, who looks set to leave Southampton when his deal runs out next month.

Some sources over recent weeks have installed Tottenham as the favourites to re-sign Walker-Peters, who swapped the North London club for the South Coast back in 2020.

Tottenham make their move in Kyle Walker-Peters transfer race

Last week, it emerged that Leeds United, West Ham and Fulham were ready to challenge Tottenham for Walker-Peters, with the update suggesting that the Cottagers are trying to leapfrog their rivals to the front of the queue.

Journalist Graeme Bailey has now confirmed that the 28-year-old has not yet made a final decision on his future, revealing that a number of sides, including Spurs, have indeed spoken to the right-back.

When asked about Leeds’ chance of landing the former Spurs man, Bailey told Leeds United News: “I’m told no decision just yet. Leeds have had contact, but as we know they’re one of many clubs to be in touch with him. West Ham, Spurs, Everton… there’s loads.

“And some foreign clubs are lurking too. Can Leeds get him? Of course. But from what I can make out it’s going to be tough.”

Do Spurs need Walker-Peters in their squad?

Ange Postecoglou has three excellent full-backs at his disposal in the form of Pedro Porro, Djed Spence and Destiny Udogie, while Archie Gray has also shown that he can fill in at right-back.

However, there have been suggestions that Tottenham could cash in on Porro for the right fee this summer, which could be the reason the Lilywhites are in the market for a right-back.

Yves Bissouma has admitted that being part of a European final will be a dream come true for him but insisted that he and his Tottenham teammates are determined to go one step further and bring the Europa League title to N17.

From the interviews that we have heard from various Spurs players over the last few days, it is clear that there is a huge hunger within the group to silence critics and write their names into the club’s history books.

Micky van de Ven has said that Tottenham are determined to shed the ‘Spursy’ tag by winning the final, while Guglielmo Vicario has revealed that Tottenham’s struggles this season have only added to their hunger to win the trophy.

Heung-min Son has said that the Europa League final will be the biggest day in his life, with the South Korean having his eyes set on fulfilling something he has wanted for a long time.

Yves Bissouma wants to bring the trophy home to Tottenham

Bissouma was one of the players leading the wild celebrations in front of the travelling Tottenham fans at Bodo/Glimt two weeks ago.

The midfielder, who is expected to start at Bilbao, in light of his recent upturn in form, admitted that he has been on cloud nine since Tottenham Hotspur secured passage to the final, but remarked that he and his teammates still have unfinished business.

Bissouma told Sky Sports: “It was the best night of my life (second leg of the semifinal in Norway) because I qualified for the final of the Europa League. Nothing can change it in my life, and I will never forget this. And I know I can have one night that can be better than this so I’m trying to work hard to be ready for that.

“It’s not every time you have a chance to play a European final, and it’s not something that’s coming every season, so a special moment like this, you feel it like a dream. I don’t want to wake up.

“I realise it’s not a dream, we worked hard for that to be where we are now. The club deserves it, the fans, and we deserve it as well because every day we’re working really hard to be where we are now. We have to do the right things to bring that trophy home.”

Bissouma says Spurs do not need to focus on Man United

Ahead of the game, Bruno Fernandes has said that Man United know how to stop Tottenham, and the same comments have been echoed by their manager, with Rubem Amorim insisting that he knows what to expect from Spurs.

However, Bissouma suggests Tottenham are taking a different approach and are only focused on being at their best rather than on stopping the opposition.

When asked about the fact that Spurs have already beaten United on three occasions this season, the midfielder responded: “Now we have to beat them four times. I respect them, it’s an amazing club, but to be honest, we focus on us. Focus on preparing what we have to prepare and go.”

Heung-min Son has made a surprising pick for Tottenham Hotspur’s strongest player ahead of the Europa League final – and it is not who anyone expected.

Tottenham Hotspur are gearing up for the most important game of their season, with a clash against Manchester United in the Europa League final on the horizon.

Spurs would want to get their hands on silverware as their nearly two-decade wait for a trophy continues.

One player who would be desperate to get his hand on silverware is Heung-min Son, who has been at Tottenham for close to a decade, and has labelled the final against Manchester United as the biggest day of his life.

Heung-min Son names Djed Spence as strongest player at Tottenham

However, before the final, Son has had a light-hearted conversation about a few of his teammates. Speaking in a video on the Europa League’s official TikTok account, Son was asked to name the ‘strongest’ Tottenham player, to which he replied: “Spence!”

Djed Spence sure does not look like the strongest player in the Tottenham squad, merely looking at his frame, but the full-back has shown that he is one with immense physicality when up against wingers.

Son further shared his thoughts about some of his other teammates as well. When asked, the Spurs player with the:

Indeed, the Tottenham squad is full of players with different qualities and traits, and Son is, of course, the captain of this squad.

With the Europa League final still to come, the Korean winger would be hoping that he can lead this group to a trophy come Wednesday.

Speaking about what the Europa League final on Wednesday means to him, Son said: “At the end of the day, we can win a trophy, so that is what we are all looking for.

“Wednesday will be the biggest day of my life. Look, it will be great and we will be excited and I hope we can make history.”

Tottenham Hotspur appear to have stolen a march on Barcelona in the race for a Brazilian full-back valued at around £30m this summer.

It was reported a few days ago that Tottenham Hotspur are set to be involved in a tug-of-war with La Liga champions Barcelona for full-back Vanderson.

The Brazilian has emerged as a summer target for the Lilywhites, who are in the market for competition at right-back.

Despite Pedro Porro enjoying an impressive season under Ange Postecoglou, with 13 goal contributions in all competitions this campaign, Spurs are said to be keen on signing Vanderson.

It was also revealed that while Barcelona are interested in signing the right-back, AS Monaco would prefer to do business with Tottenham due to tax implications that could make a deal with the Spanish side more complicated.

Tottenham lead Barcelona in Vanderson transfer pursuit

Now, a fresh report from GIVEMESPORT has stated that Spurs are leading the race to land the 23-year-old full-back, after showing more intent than their rivals.

Regardless of Vanderson having three years left on his current contract with Monaco, it has been reported that the Ligue 1 club are open to letting him leave this summer, and would be willing to entertain offers in the region of £30 million (€35 million).

Tottenham are said to be eager to secure the Brazilian’s services, and it is understood they are prepared to push forward with a move irrespective of who will be in the Spurs dugout next season.

Manchester United and Manchester City monitoring Vanderson

GIVEMESPORT have also stated that Tottenham are not alone in the race to sign the full-back this summer.

According to the publication, Premier League rivals, Manchester United, have been made aware of Vanderson’s availability and are currently assessing their options as they look to bolster their backline.

It has also been suggested that the defender’s representatives could offer him to Manchester City, who are believed to be in the market for a new full-back in the upcoming window.

Barcelona’s interest has not gone away either, and GIVEMESPORT claim that the Spanish club’s involvement could “turn the heads” of the player and his camp, potentially complicating Tottenham’s pursuit.

Transfer market expert Pete O’Rourke says Leeds United may come to regret a major mistake they made regarding Manor Solomon following the latest development regarding the future of the Tottenham Hotspur winger.

Spurs will be delighted with how Solomon has performed on loan at Leeds, with the winger putting himself in the shop window by playing a key role in helping the Yorkshire club win the Championship title and secure promotion to the Premier League.

It thus comes as no surprise that Leeds are now working on a deal to sign Solomon permanently ahead of their return to the top-flight.

However, according to various sources, Daniel Farke’s men are expected to face competition from Everton and Marseille for Solomon, as the race for the Tottenham man heats up.

Why Leeds United may fall short in Manor Solomon pursuit

Pete O’Rourke has now said that the newly promoted club will find it challenging to beat Marseille to the signature of the Israel international, given that the Ligue 1 side can offer Champions League football to the player.

The journalist suggests that Leeds could come to regret the fact that they did not insist on an option to buy when agreeing a loan deal with Tottenham Hotspur last summer.

O’Rourke told Football Insider about Solomon: “He obviously had a great time at Leeds on loan from Tottenham and was very key for Leeds’ successful promotion back to the Premier League. [He’s a] huge fans’ favourite as well, especially with that dramatic late goal against Plymouth to seal the title on the final day of the season.

“Look, if Marseille are interested in Manor Solomon, it’s going to be difficult for Leeds to try and sign him on a permanent basis. When they signed him from Tottenham on loan, there was no option in there to sign him [permanently] either, which maybe looks a bit of a mistake now – it’s an open race for Solomon.”

Leeds hoping to bring Tottenham’s Manor Solomon asking price down

According to reports over recent days, there is also a small difference in Tottenham’s and Leeds’ valuation of the winger ahead of the summer window.

It has been claimed by TBR Football that Spurs want £20m for Solomon while Leeds only want to pay £15m for the winger, who played a crucial role in ensuring the club bounced back up to the top-flight.

However, the outlet claimed that the 25-year-old’s preference is to make a move to Elland Road ahead of Marseille and Everton, which could end up being crucial in the transfer race.

Tottenham Hotspur have been told that they can sign Marc Guehi for considerably less than what they were willing to offer for the Crystal Palace centre-back during the January window.

If reports over recent weeks are to be believed, Cristian Romero has made up his mind to swap Tottenham for Atletico Madrid this summer.

The club are thought to be on the lookout for a replacement for the vice-captain, with some sources claiming Spurs have identified Marc Guehi as their top choice to replace Romero.

It was widely reported that Tottenham made a £70m offer for Marc Guehi late in the January window, which was turned down by Crystal Palace. Spurs have been backed to reignite their interest in Guehi this summer.

Tottenham see Crystal Palace’s valuation of Marc Guehi drop

The England international has just one year left on his contract at Selhurst Park, and journalist Ben Jacobs believes that Palace are willing to reduce their asking price for their centre-back this summer.

Jacobs says that the Chelsea academy graduate is more likely to depart this summer than run his contract down, asserting that Oliver Glasner’s men could accept an offer of around £50m to £55m for the defender.

The journalist said on the London is Blue- Chelsea FC Podcast: “So if they (Chelsea) move in another direction, we know Marc Guehi is a player that they appreciate, and Palace have got a big decision to make because his contract is now starting to tick down. They rejected a 70 million bid from Spurs in January.

“They turned down 65 million from Newcastle last summer. And now I think the feeling is 50-55 at the top end might be enough to get Palace to sell simply because of his contractual situation. And my understanding is that Guehi is more likely to leave Crystal Palace rather than run down his contract or end up signing a new deal.”

Could Spurs convince Guehi to move to N17?

It is not just Chelsea who threaten to derail Tottenham’s hopes of landing the Palace star, with reports indicating that Spurs also face competition from Liverpool and Aston Villa for Marc Guehi.

With many of those clubs potentially set to offer the Englishman Champions League football, Postecoglou’s men seemingly face an uphill battle to land the 24-year-old.

Tottenham Hotspur are about to taste defeat in their pursuit of an Italian defender, with a London rival now poised to clinch a deal for the player at the start of the summer transfer window.

Some reports over recent days have suggested that Pedro Porro is of interest to a number of top clubs around Europe ahead of the summer transfer window.

It has even been alleged over recent days that Tottenham are open to cashing in on Porro for the right fee, given that the North London club have to sell some of their assets this summer in order to push ahead with a move for their transfer targets.

If the Spaniard does depart N17, one would expect the Lilywhites to be on the lookout for a replacement, and it has now emerged that a right-back who Spurs had identified as a target is about to join a Premier League rival.

Tottenham target expected to complete move to Brentford

This update comes from TBR Football, who claim that Tottenham are fans of Michael Kayode, who has spent the second half of the season on loan at Brentford from Fiorentina.

The outlet explains that Tottenham were tracking Kayode even before he made the switch to the Gtech Community Stadium.

Kayode’s spell in West London did not get off to the best of starts due to the 20-year-old’s injury problems. However, the Italy Under-21 international is having a strong end to the season, and the Bees are now expected to activate the £14m option to buy him.

The publication adds that this not only comes as a blow to Tottenham Hotspur, but also to the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and Aston Villa, who were all keeping tabs on Kayode.

Tottenham are battling Barcelona for Brazilian right-back

This update comes just a couple of days after it emerged that Spurs had set their sights on a Ligue 1 right-back.

Earlier this week, it was claimed by Brazilian outlet UOL that Tottenham and Barcelona look set to battle it out for Monaco’s Vanderson, who is expected to be in the shop window this summer.

Manchester United have now entered the race to sign £30m Vanderson from Monaco this summer, with Tottenham Hotspur also showing interest.

It has been reported that Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing 23-year-old Monaco right-back Vanderson this summer.

The Ligue 1 side are said to be open to parting ways with the Brazilian, though they would only entertain offers in the region of £30m.

Barcelona have also been linked, however, it is believed Monaco would prefer to deal with Tottenham due to tax considerations that make a move to England more favourable.

Manchester United weighing up Vanderson move despite Tottenham interest

Manchester United have now emerged as another contender in the race to sign Vanderson. According to Givemesport, the Red Devils are currently weighing up a potential move for the former Gremio defender.

United are reportedly evaluating whether to bring in a new right-back during the summer window, and Vanderson’s situation has caught their attention as they look to refresh their defensive options.

Well aware of his quality and potential, United are said to be seriously considering a swoop. However, they are not the only Premier League side monitoring developments, which could trigger a battle for his signature.

Spurs still leading the race for Vanderson despite interest from rival clubs

Tottenham Hotspur are believed to be the frontrunners in the race for Vanderson, despite reported interest from Manchester City, Liverpool, and Barcelona.

Spurs are actively looking to add competition for Pedro Porro, who has delivered 13 goal contributions this season, and the Monaco defender has emerged as a top target.

The north London club are keen to strengthen ahead of the new campaign and view Vanderson as a viable option.

Monaco, for their part, are willing to sell the player, who still has three years remaining on his contract, but only if their £30m valuation is met. Barcelona’s interest is still said to be serious and could complicate Tottenham’s pursuit of the Brazilian.

Manchester United are now plotting a move for one of Tottenham’s exciting U17 strikers, with the youngster set to leave North London this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur’s U17 side showed exactly what they are made of once again this season, after they secured the Premier League Cup trophy for the second time in three years.

Indeed, Luca Williams-Barnett was impressive in the final against Charlton Athletic, bagging a hat-trick for his U17 side.

However, the latest reports suggest that another forward from Tottenham’s U17 ranks has caught the attention of a Premier League rival.

Manchester United eye Dexter Oliver transfer from Tottenham

The Lilywhite Rose reports on X (formerly Twitter) that Dexter Oliver is set to leave Tottenham Hotspur, with Manchester United attempting to sign him.

Oliver has been handed a two-year scholarship by Spurs, but the youngster is yet to put pen to paper. Manchester United are well aware of Oliver’s delay, and are looking to take advantage of it by attempting to bring him up north to join their ranks in Carrington.

The Europa League finalists are not the only ones interested in the teenager, with the Lilywhite rose also stating that Manchester City are monitoring the situation closely.

The teenager scored a brace against Derby County in the under-17 Premier League Cup semi-final back in February.

It is rumoured that Oliver’s recent decision to sign with Roc Nation Sports back in March may be a contributing factor in his potential move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as Manchester United and Man City sniff around for his signature.

The Red Devils are no strangers to securing promising young talents, having already poached Ayden Heaven and Chido Obi-Martin from Arsenal earlier this season under Ruben Amorim’s watch.

A report has dug into the numbers on the estimated value of the biggest clubs in world football, and they have concluded that Daniel Levy and ENIC are pricing Tottenham out of the market with the extremely high valuation they have put on the club.

Over the last 12 months, there have been plenty of rumours doing the rounds regarding a potential takeover or a minority investment in Tottenham Hotspur.

It was first reported that former Newcastle owner, Amanda Staveley, had held talks with Daniel Levy, but that now appears to have fizzled out.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that several American investors had shown interest in buying a stake in Spurs. More recently, it has been rumoured that a group of private investors from Qatar have shown interest in a full buyout of Tottenham.

However, none of these talks appear to have progressed, leaving Tottenham fans who want to see the back of the current owners very frustrated.

Tottenham’s valuation deemed too high in blow to Daniel Levy

TBR Football have now explained that Levy has made it clear in his discussions with potential investors that Tottenham are valued at £3.75bn, with any minority investment required to meet that appraisal.

The outlet then points to the latest figures from football finance industry experts Sportico, which suggests that the price is £1bn more than what is estimated to be the club’s value.

Sportico’s figures put Tottenham as the ninth most valuable club in the world at £2.64bn, just ahead of Chelsea.

The outlet also points out that Todd Boehly took over Chelsea at £2.5bn and suggests that there might be appetite among potential investors to buy Spurs if ENIC and Levy are ready to accept that kind of figure.

Minority investment in Tottenham deemed unlikely by finance expert

The other solution to bringing some funds into the coffers would be a partial takeover, such as Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s investment in Manchester United.

However, football finance expert Kieran Maguire is sceptical about whether such an arrangement can work with Levy still at the helm of the North London club.

Maguire told TBR Football about the possibility: “Given Levy’s tight grip on operations at Spurs, that would be a relationship that would struggle to work.

“Spurs would be attractive, but there are pricing issues and control issues. Levy is the biggest asset and the biggest liability at that club in that sense.”
