Spurs Web

A new report has shed light on whether Morgan Gibbs-White’s stance on a move to Tottenham Hotspur has changed after the midfielder joined Nottingham Forest’s training camp in Portugal.

As reports emerge that Alexander Isak has refused to travel on the pre-season tour with Newcastle United to force through a move, Spurs fans will be wondering why Gibbs-White has not done the same.

Earlier this week, we heard that Gibbs-White has joined the Forest squad in Portugal for their pre-season tour, although he travelled a few days late due to personal reasons.

Some Spurs fans on social media have called on the club to abandon the Gibbs-White deal and pursue other alternatives, with many understandably frustrated by how long this saga has dragged on.

Morgan Gibbs-White remains keen on joining Tottenham

A new report in TBR Football has now revealed that the attacking midfielder remains intent on finalising a move to N17 this summer.

Despite continuing to train with Nuno Espirito Santo’s men, the 24-year-old has made it clear to the Forest hierarchy that he wants to complete a move to Spurs.

The report reveals that Tottenham Hotspur have now started working on other targets over the last few days, with Thomas Frank keen on bringing a number six through the door.

However, getting the Gibbs-White deal over the line remains the priority for the Lilywhites at the moment.

Nottingham Forest have competition for Gibbs-White replacement

Some outlets have claimed that Forest may simply be delaying the Gibbs-White deal until they sign a replacement.

It was previously reported that Forest were edging closer to landing James McAtee from Manchester City, but their move has become complicated now.

This latest update from TBR Football suggests that while the Midlands club are holding talks over a deal for McAtee, Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund are also showing keen interest in the 22-year-old.

A former Premier League midfielder, who has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur this summer, has taken extreme measures to force a move away from his club.

Several defensive midfielders have been mooted as targets for Tottenham over recent weeks, and it is not clear at the moment who is at the top of Thomas Frank’s wishlist.

One of those is Douglas Luiz, whose situation Spurs are said to be monitoring closely, with the Brazilian thought to be keen on returning to the Premier League after struggling for game time in his first season at Juventus.

It has been claimed by some sources that Fabio Paratici is aware that Douglas Luiz wants to join Tottenham, but the former Aston Villa man’s representatives are also allegedly speaking to other clubs.

Over recent days, it has emerged that West Ham have emerged as the front-runners to land Luiz, who is thought to be valued at around €23m-€25m (£19.8m-£21.6m) by the Bianconeri.

Fabrizio Romano has now taken to social media to reveal that the 27-year-old has failed to show up to pre-season training in Turin.

The Brazil international is expected to face disciplinary measures from Igor Tudor’s men, and Romano confirms that he is expected to leave the Serie A giants.

Who are the other midfielders on Tottenham’s radar?

Regular readers of Spurs Web will be aware that Joao Palhinha has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham over the last two weeks.

It has also emerged over recent days that Thomas Frank is a big fan of Conor Gallagher, whose future at Atletico Madrid is thought to be in doubt.

Tottenham Hotspur reportedly have a chance of raiding Manchester United for one of their young gems, as his future at Old Trafford is no closer to being resolved.

It is an open secret that Thomas Frank is keen on signing a top-class number six, particularly given that Yves Bissouma is expected to leave Tottenham this summer.

While Joao Palhinha has been heavily linked with a move to Spurs over recent weeks, it has emerged that the Lilywhites are also eyeing a shock move for a Man United star.

Journalist Dean Jones claimed a couple of days ago that Kobbie Mainoo is on Tottenham’s radar, and suggested that we could see this situation develop over the coming days and weeks.

Tottenham have asked about Kobbie Mainoo availability

TBR Football have now claimed that not only are Tottenham Hotspur fans of the England international, but they have already enquired about his availability.

The outlet says that Spurs are now ‘closely monitoring’ Mainoo’s situation at Old Trafford, with the midfielder having just two years left on his deal.

While United have been locked in talks with the midfielder over an extension for the last 12 months, the negotiations have now hit a stalemate.

The report says that the longer Mainoo’s contract situation takes to be resolved, the more likely it becomes that the Red Devils could cash in on their academy graduate this summer.

It is asserted that a departure from Old Trafford is very much on the cards for the 20-year-old, who is also wanted by Tottenham’s London rivals, Chelsea.

Mainoo could be in favour of a summer transfer

TBR Football say that the youngster is keen to get regular football during the upcoming season so that he can find a place in the England squad for next year’s World Cup.

However, that might not be possible at United as Mainoo is thought to be behind the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte in Rubem Amorim’s pecking order.

Additionally, Amorim is now looking to add another central midfielder to his squad, which may open the door for one of Tottenham or Chelsea to secure a deal for Mainoo.

Tottenham Hotspur have now received an official offer for their captain, Heung-min Son, as reports continue to indicate that his exit from Spurs is potentially nearing.

In his press conference last week, Thomas Frank refused to confirm that Son is staying, instead suggesting that the Lilywhites face a ‘tricky’ decision on the South Korean’s future, given how long he has been at the club.

Earlier this week, Spurs Web relayed suggestions that Son could leave Tottenham following their pre-season tour of South Korea, which could end up being the 33-year-old’s farewell tour.

On Wednesday, The Athletic reported that Los Angeles FC were determined to bring Son through the door this summer after hearing that he does not feature centrally in Frank’s plans at Tottenham.

Los Angeles FC make an offer for Tottenham hero Heung-min Son

The rumours linking the 33-year-old with a move to California appear to be gathering steam over the last few hours, and a new report has suggested that the MLS side have now made their move.

This report comes from The Telegraph, who say that LAFC have now submitted an official offer to Tottenham Hotspur for their captain.

While the outlet does not provide the information on how much the bid is worth, it is made clear that Son’s future will not be resolved immediately.

MORE SPURS STORIES

The report backs up what we have heard from other sources by stating that Tottenham are contractually obligated to include the forward in their pre-season tour of South Korea.

Son will be allowed to make the final decision over his future

Over the last few weeks, various sources have claimed that Tottenham will allow Son to decide if he wants to stay or leave this summer.

Daniel Levy and the Spurs hierarchy do not intend to push the forward out of the door, even though he only has a year left on his contract.

Fabrizio Romano has now revealed what he knows about Chelsea’s rumoured move for Man United star Alejandro Garnacho, who has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur over recent weeks.

While Tottenham are well stocked for options in its forward line, Heung-min Son’s future at Spurs remains in doubt.

That might be why Spurs have been monitoring Alejandro Garnacho since the start of the summer window, after the Argentine fell out with Ruben Amorim as a result of the Portuguese coach leaving him out of the starting eleven for the Europa League final.

However, over the last week, it has emerged that Tottenham face competition from Chelsea and Aston Villa for Garnacho, thus complicating the Lilywhites’ pursuit of the 21-year-old.

Boost for Tottenham as Chelsea are not prioritising Alejandro Garnacho

Fabrizio Romano has now taken to social media to back up what we have heard from other sources over the last few days by revealing that the Man United star’s preference is to remain in the Premier League.

The journalist confirmed that the Argentine is on Chelsea’s radar, but he revealed that there have been no talks between the Red Devils and the Blues about the attacker.

Romano handed Tottenham Hotspur’s chances of landing Ganracho a further boost by stating the West London side are prioritising a move for RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons at the moment.

Why Spurs interest in Garnacho has intensified over recent days

While it was reported earlier this summer that Man United were demanding £70m for Garnacho, over the last few days, multiple sources are claiming that Amorim’s men are now ready to sell the Tottenham target for just £40m.

It was asserted by GiveMeSport a couple of days ago that Spurs are showing more serious interest in Garnacho after Man United dropped their asking price.

Tottenham have already landed Mohammed Kudus this summer transfer window, but the club’s pursuit of reinforcements is far from over, with Kobbie Mainoo, Joao Palhinha and several others now in the frame.

Tottenham Hotspur have shown some ambition in the summer market, having completed the signing of four players thus far.

Mohammed Kudus‘ arrival stands out as the biggest of the lot, with Tottenham splashing £55 million on the former West Ham United man, making him their fourth-most expensive signing to date.

Spurs, however, have not made any further additions since they wrapped up a deal for the Ghana international, despite reports suggesting that the club remain very much in the market for midfielders.

Tottenham target Kobbie Mainoo and Joao Palhinha in midfield overhaul

Journalist Dean Jones, writing for Flashscore, has now revealed that Tottenham are chasing Kobbie Mainoo, Joao Palhinha, and five other players as they look to revamp their midfield options.

Mainoo is a name that has surfaced repeatedly in recent weeks, with Tottenham said to be closely monitoring Mainoo situation, although nothing concrete has taken place between the two clubs.

It is understood that talks remain in the early stages, and Mainoo has merely been discussed internally at this point, with Tottenham weighing up whether or not to formalise their interest in the 20-year-old midfielder.

Manchester United are not actively looking to sell Mainoo, but Tottenham are aware that the Red Devils’ stance could shift if a significant offer arrives.

Spurs midfield shortlist includes Gibbs-White, Gomes and Baleba

The journalist further explains that Tottenham’s pursuit of Joao Palhinha is more advanced. It is claimed that Spurs have been informed that Bayern Munich would prefer a permanent transfer over a loan deal for the Portugal international.

While other Premier League clubs are reportedly targeting a short-term move for the 30-year-old, this preference from Bayern could give Tottenham an edge in negotiations.

Morgan Gibbs-White is another name under consideration. Tottenham are believed to hold the Nottingham Forest midfielder in high regard, but after paying his release clause, Spurs have been forced to wait as Forest pursue legal action over the nature of the bid.

Gibbs-White has since travelled with Forest for their pre-season tour in Portugal, which may suggest a move is not imminent.

Tottenham are also said to have looked at Joao Gomes of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brighton and Hove Albion’s Carlos Baleba. However, both transfers appear complicated, with neither club willing to entertain offers for their midfield talents at this stage.

Dele Alli has not had the expected impact at Como, and it has now been suggested that the former Tottenham fan favourite is open to a move elsewhere this summer.

Dele remains revered by the Spurs faithful, with the attacking midfielder giving them some great memories in his seven years at the club after joining from MK Dons as a teenager in 2015.

Dele’s mental health issues have been well-documented, which is why many Spurs fans have been rooting for him to return to the pitch and get back to doing what he does best.

He is now trying to do that away from the spotlight of the Premier League, having joined Serie A side Como in January, but he managed to make just one appearance for the club last season.

Tottenham icon Dele Alli is now looking for a new club

According to a report in GZH, the former Tottenham Hotspur man is now looking for a new home, having failed to get his career back on track in the Italian top-flight.

It is asserted that the 29-year-old, who was once tipped to be the next big thing in English football, is now ready to leave Europe altogether and head to Brazil.

The report claims that Gremio have now been offered a chance to sign Dele after he struggled to recapture his form at Como.

The Brazilian side would not have to pay a transfer fee for the England international, but his wage demands are thought to be very high.

Will Gremio take up the chance to sign Dele?

GZH say that while the opportunity to sign a player of the former Tottenham star’s pedigree is tempting for Gremio, they are not inclined to pursue the move.

This is because the attacking midfielder’s salary demands would make him a risky signing, especially given some of the other gambles that the club have taken over recent years.

Gremio are said to be reluctant to take further risks on players with uncertain ‘physical and competitive conditions’ such as Dele.

Crystal Palace have now made a decision on Marc Guehi after Tottenham Hotspur and two other Premier League clubs expressed interest in a move for the centre-back this summer.

The Eagles star has been a long-term target for Spurs, with Tottenham even having a £70m bid for Guehi turned down in January.

Reports indicate that Spurs continue to remain interested in Guehi, who has just a year left on his contract at Selhurst Park.

It was reported earlier this summer that Tottenham are expected to face intense competition for Guehi’s services, but the Lilywhites’ chances of landing the player could be boosted by the latest news coming out of Palace.

GiveMeSport now claim that Oliver Glasner’s men have informed Tottenham and other clubs that they are now open to offers for their captain.

The report claims that Spurs, Newcastle and Liverpool have all expressed an interest in securing the 25-year-old’s services this summer, and they now know that the defender is on the market.

It is explained that Palace rejected Tottenham Hotspur’s offer for Guehi in January as they were hopeful that they could tie him down to a new contract.

MORE SPURS STORIES

However, the centre-back has now refused to sign a new deal, and with the Eagles keen to strengthen their squad this summer, they have now decided to listen to offers for the player.

Liverpool are favourites for Guehi but Spurs have a lifeline

GiveMeSport say that Anfield looks likely to be Guehi’s next destination, but the Reds currently believe that Palace’s demands are too high.

Arne Slot’s men are only willing to sign the England international if he is available for a fee of less than £45m.

Additionally, the report claims that Guehi’s number one priority above anything else is getting regular game time next season ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

It is for that reason that the Chelsea academy graduate is not desperate to leave Selhurst Park and is willing to run his contract down and depart on a free transfer next summer.

Tottenham Hotspur are continuing to monitor a prolific French striker, but they face competition for his services from a Premier League side as well as two other European clubs.

Thomas Frank has hinted that Richarlison might stay at Tottenham, but that has not stopped speculation linking various number nines with a move to Spurs.

One man who has been mooted as a target for Tottenham since the start of the summer is Rennes star Arnaud Kalimuendo, who scored 18 goals and provided four assists across all competitions last season.

Some sources have claimed over recent weeks that Tottenham would have to pay £26m to land Kalimuendo, but a new update from France suggested at least three other clubs also want the 23-year-old.

Tottenham are facing intense competition for Arnaud Kalimuendo

RMC Sport have now revealed that the race for the Rennes star is now heating up, with several clubs around the continent showing interest in his services.

While the outlet confirms that Tottenham are fans of Kalimuendo, it is revealed that Spurs have to see off competition from Villarreal, RB Leipzig, and Nottingham Forest to land the player.

The report also warns that more clubs could soon enter the race for the centre-forward, raising the possibility that he could become one of the most hotly contested signings of the summer.

It is revealed that Rennes are ready to sell the Frenchman for a fee of around €30m-€35m (£26m-£30.3m), and they have already started looking for a replacement, which suggests that they expect him to leave.

Who are the other strikers Tottenham are looking at?

Tottenham were credited with an interest in Yoane Wissa a few weeks ago, but over the last week, several sources have claimed that Spurs’ interest in the Brentford star has cooled.

Over the last few days, some sources have claimed that Tottenham could be handed a chance to sign Randal Kolo Muani as the PSG star’s move to Juventus has now stalled.

Tottenham’s path towards landing Marc Guehi may have just cleared up a little following David Ornstein’s big transfer update regarding the Crystal Palace man.

Thomas Frank is certainly not short of options at centre-back, but over the last week, it has become clear that the Lilywhites are continuing to scour the market for central defenders.

Tottenham have allegedly made a bid of €70m (£60.6m) for Illiya Zabarnyi, but the Bournemouth man is not the only Premier League centre-back Frank’s men are eyeing.

According to a recent update by The Telegraph, Spurs still remain interested in Marc Guehi, who has just a year left on his contract at Crystal Palace.

Earlier this summer, it looked like Spurs were outsiders in the race for the Palace star, with Liverpool emerging as the front-runners to land Guehi.

However, David Ornstein has now revealed that the Reds are hesitant to pay a big fee for the Eagles captain and are now considering moving for other alternatives instead.

The journalist said on The Athletic’s Transfer DealSheet: “Liverpool need to recruit a new centre-half with the imminent exit of Quansah and are looking at many candidates.

“As reported last week, Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi is a player under consideration, but with just one year remaining on his contract, Liverpool will only firm up their interest if the price is right.

“Nottingham Forest’s Murillo is admired but is likely to be too expensive, so sporting director Richard Hughes is looking at other young centre-halves.”

How much would Guehi cost this summer?

We know the North Londoners are ready to spend big on the England international based on the fact that Tottenham put in a £70m bid for Guehi during the January window.

Some sources have claimed that Guehi could be available for £50m this summer after refusing to sign a new deal at Selhurst Park.
