Tottenham Hotspur have moved to the front of the queue to land a versatile Serie A defender after first signalling an interest in the player several months ago.

Spurs fans are getting a little impatient over the last couple of weeks as the club are yet to make any big moves this summer at the start of the Thomas Frank era, with Mathys Tel being their only signing so far this window.

With pre-season fast approaching, some sources have said that we can expect Spurs to make two or three signings over the next few weeks.

It turns out that Spurs may soon make advances towards a Serie A star after it was first reported back in March that Tottenham had enquired about Genoa defender Koni de Winter.

Tottenham now leading the race to land Koni de Winter

Last month, GiveMeSport claimed that Spurs were one of several Premier League clubs to have expressed an interest in De Winter.

Now, a new report in Corriere dello Sport (as relayed by Sport Witness) has asserted that Tottenham have moved to the front of the queue to land the versatile centre-back.

The report claims that Tottenham Hotspur scouted the Belgian international several times last season and are now best placed to secure a deal.

Crystal Palace were the first club to show an interest in the 24-year-old this summer but it is Thomas Frank’s men who have now moved ahead, with Genoa expected to demand €30m (£25.6m) for the player.

Why De Winter may be a sensible addition for Thomas Frank’s Tottenham

We know that Frank is tactically flexible and is not wedded to one system, and he thus needs players who are capable of adapting to different roles.

De Winter can play on either side of central defence, at right-back, and has occasionally even been used as a number six, thus making him the ultimate versatile option, not too dissimilar in profile to Archie Gray, but more experienced.

Tottenham Hotspur have reignited their interest in Chelsea full-back Joshua Acheampong, but there have been some contradictory claims made on whether the Blues are willing to sell the teenager.

Based on reports over recent weeks, it appears that Thomas Frank wants to add another right-back to his squad, which is a little puzzling when one considers that Tottenham have Pedro Porro, Djed Spence and Archie Gray in their squad.

It has been reported that Spurs have signalled an interest in Monaco’s Vanderson while several sources over the last few days have claimed that Tottenham have spoken to Kyle Walker-Peters about a return to the club.

A year ago, it first emerged that Tottenham were plotting a move for Joshua Acheampong but the Blues decided to keep hold of the youngster last summer.

Chelsea are open to selling Joshua Acheampong

The 19-year-old struggled to get game time last season outside the UEFA Conference League and The Independent have now claimed that the youngster wants to leave Stamford Bridge in search of regular first-team football.

The report says that Tottenham Hotspur have been watching Acheampong for a long time and have now signalled their interest in him again this summer, as have Newcastle.

However, the report seems to suggest that Borussia Dortmund are currently leading the race to land the right-back, with the Bundesliga club now having escalated their move for the defender.

There is a sense at Chelsea that Inter Milan may also join in the race for Acheampong, who the West London club are allegedly willing to sell for £35m.

Journalist rules out Acheampong exit in contrasting report

The Independent go on to explain that Chelsea would ideally like to loan out their academy graduate, but it is suggested that they could be persuaded to sell amidst their PSR considerations.

However, this claim has been rubbished by The Daily Mail’s Kieran Gill who is convinced that Enzo Maresca’s men will hold onto Acheampong this summer.

While the journalist confirms that the teenager is attracting interest from several clubs, he adds that Chelsea considers him a potential future star.

As the speculation linking Rodrigo Muniz with a move to Tottenham Hotspur continues to intensify, Fulham have now made their stance regarding the centre-forward very clear.

Various reliable sources have said that Spurs are ready to listen to offers for Richarlison this summer and are expected to enter the market for a new striker to compete with Dominic Solanke.

It was first reported back in April that Tottenham had set their sights on Muniz, who had an impressive 2024-25 season at Craven Cottage, having found the back of the net 11 times across all competitions.

It has subsequently been suggested that Spurs could face competition from Chelsea for Muniz, while it has also emerged over recent days that Leeds United’s offer for the Tottenham target has been turned down by Fulham.

Fulham want to keep Rodrigo Muniz away from Tottenham

Sky Sports reporter Lyall Thomas has now handed the Lilywhites a major blow in any potential pursuit of the 24-year-old striker.

The journalist has taken to social media to reveal that the Cottagers have no intention of letting their star striker leave this summer and have made it clear that he is not for sale.

Thomas added that Marco Silva sees the centre-forward as a key part of his plans at Craven Cottage next season.

It will take a big offer to prise Muniz away from Fulham

While this report from Thomas seems to suggest that the West London club will not let the forward go, one would expect them to change their stance if a big enough offer comes their way.

It was claimed by GiveMeSport earlier this week that Fulham have put a price tag of £50m on Muniz amidst the heavy interest in his services.

For the second time in a week, the French media have been very critical of Wilson Odobert, declaring that the Tottenham winger did not offer enough of an attacking threat as France’s U21s were knocked out of the UEFA European Under-21 Championship.

It seemed as though France’s name was destined for the trophy last Sunday, given the dramatic manner in which they came from behind against Denmark in the quarterfinal, turning the game around in a matter of two minutes.

Mathys Tel was the hero for France, getting the match-winner with a superb strike, and the Tottenham man came in for praise from the media for his performance.

However, his Spurs teammate, Wilson Odobert was criticised for his showing in the quarterfinal, with his performance labelled as disappointing.

Tottenham’s Wilson Odobert delivers shocker in the semifinals

The former Burnley man kept his place in the side for the semifinal, but the French proved no match for the Germans, who brushed their opponents aside 3-0 to set up a tasty final against England.

It turns out that Odobert failed to produce too much of note in the semifinals either, with one outlet claiming that the 20-year-old ‘completely disappeared’ after the first 20 minutes.

Maxifoot gave Odobert a rating of just 4/10 and wrote about his performance against Germany: “The Tottenham striker failed to beat [Noah] Atubolu with a shot that was too soft, then with a pivot shot after a nice move to turn around in the middle of several defenders.

“Despite these two chances, he was too discreet in this semi-final and completely disappeared after 20 minutes.”

Should Tottenham consider cutting their losses on Wilson Odobert?

Odobert’s first season at Tottenham Hotspur was interrupted by injuries, but he did show enough glimpses of quality for the club to justify persisting with him.

However, it remains to be seen what new boss Thomas Frank thinks of the winger, with the Dane looking to rebuild the squad he inherited from Ange Postecoglou to fit his style of play.

Tottenham Hotspur recently dropped their brand-new, all-black away kit and it is up there with the club’s best all-time jerseys – but what is the best of all time?

Tottenham have launched a new black away kit for next season, and it is already proving to be a hit. The shirt is not simple by any means, as it features a chequered design. However, there is less going on than last season’s blue away strip, which divided opinions.

Rapper and Tottenham supporter AJ Tracey is one of many to have reacted to the kit. Last August, he claimed to have spoken to the club a couple of years earlier about making a triple black kit.

Many clubs have launched popular blackout kits, a type of shirt which was not permitted until 1992, as it was the colour referees wore.

The new Spurs kit may not be completely black, but it certainly provides a classy look as Tottenham seek to rediscover some stability in the Premier League.

Many fans will agree this is one of the best Tottenham away jerseys yet, but where does the new shirt rank in an all-time list?

Rating shirts is a subjective matter, but we have put Tottenham’s first black away shirt in more than a decade as their third best of all time.

There have been some clean designs in the past few years, such as the navy 2023/24 shirt with a rainbow foil badge and the smart green jersey from 2020/2,1 which instantly brings to mind Gareth Bale.

However, the new kit just has the edge, as it is a new look for Spurs and kind of looks like Tobey Maguire’s suit in Spiderman 3.

Spurs will hope to become their own superheroes as they wear the kit, as the Tottenham first-team squad look to continue lifting silverware after their Europa League triumph.

This is the kind of kit we do not see anymore, and it is a real shame. The bright yellow shirt was paired with shorts of the same colour, while the navy collar toned things down a bit. The pattern on the left sleeve added some character, creating an outstanding kit.

As good as the new away kit is, the yellow Umbro effort just has something unique and special about it. To dare is to do, and the kit manufacturer certainly delivered on that message.

Love it or hate it, this kit is certainly one to catch the eye, despite it featuring darker colours. The purple and navy Pony jersey manages to remain smart, whilst combining two shades which would never be paired together in this day and age, and yet pair together so elegantly.

Purple has since been used on a few Spurs kits, but none of them came close to being this good. Modelling a future shirt on this design would definitely have our seal of approval.

Will the new Tottenham kit be remembered?

The legacy of a kit can change drastically depending on the season it was worn. Tottenham’s green 2018/19 third kit was not the most popular when it was released. However, after being worn in the Champions League when Spurs survived a late scare against Manchester City, and made a dramatic comeback against Ajax, it is one of the club’s most iconic shirts of all time.

The new away kit is most likely to be worn in domestic competitions, and hopefully it will live long in the memory, not just for being a nice shirt, but for everything Tottenham achieve whilst wearing it.

Tottenham Hotspur have been urged to hijack Brighton and Hove Albion’s move for Harvey Elliott as the midfielder’s Liverpool exit looms.

While Tottenham Hotspur continue to drag their feet this summer window in terms of completing big-name signings, the same cannot be said of Liverpool.

The Reds, who only just won the Premier League last season, are looking to defend their title in the upcoming campaign and have already completed key deals, with Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong among the headline arrivals.

Daniel Levy claims he wants Tottenham to win both the Premier League and the Champions League, but for a chairman with such ambitions, the club’s transfer dealings so far this summer leave a lot to be desired.

Tottenham urged to rival Brighton for Harvey Elliott transfer

While Liverpool is bringing in fresh faces, there is an expectation that a few of their current squad members could be moved on this summer.

Darwin Nunez’s future at Anfield remains uncertain, and former England international Chris Waddle has encouraged Tottenham to make a move for Nunez this transfer window.

Harvey Elliott is another player who could be heading for the exit, with reports suggesting he is weighing up his options ahead of the new season.

Speaking on talkSPORT, pundit Jason Cundy argued that Elliott should leave Liverpool in search of regular game time and named Brighton as a suitable landing spot, although he warned that wages could be a stumbling block.

Cundy said: “Brighton, that link has to be serious. The way Brighton play, he fits that model, but it is wages and the fact that he is not going to come cheap – they might have a problem with that. He certainly fits into the style of play.”

However, former Spurs man Jamie O’Hara went one step further than Cundy, stating that Elliott would thrive at Tottenham: “I would have him at Tottenham.

“He plays on the right, he can compete with Brennan Johnson. Kulusevski is a similar player, but Harvey Elliott has got something about him – he can play as a 10, he can play different areas, he can play midfield.”

Harvey Elliott’s versatility could benefit Spurs squad

Of course, Elliott is no stranger to the Premier League, having made 28 appearances for Liverpool last season.

The midfielder is also tactically flexible, capable of operating in multiple positions across the midfield and forward lines – something that could be of real use to Thomas Frank as he reshapes this Spurs squad.

The latest reports coming out of Argentina have denied reports of Tottenham accepting an offer for Alejo Veliz but they do confirm that it is only a matter of time before a bid arrives in North London for the player.

Until recent weeks, there was plenty of speculation linking Veliz with a return to Rosaria Central, who sold the striker to Tottenham Hotspur two years ago.

However, earlier this week, it was revealed Spurs had accepted a $5m (£3.6m) offer for 60 per cent of Veliz’s rights.

It was alleged that the offer came not from Rosario, but from their rivals Racing Club de Avellaneda, and that the deal will see Spurs retain a 40 per cent sell-on clause on the 21-year-old.

Alejo Veliz offer denied but Racing Club de Avellaneda want him

According to a report in Ole (as relayed by Sport Witness), Racing have denied sending an offer to Spurs for the young centre-forward.

The outlet confirms that Veliz is indeed on Racing’s radar as the club’s manager, Gustavo Costas, requested the signing of the Tottenham man as a replacement for Maxi Salas, who is expected to leave.

While Racing deny making an offer, they do plan to initiate contact with the Europa League winners regarding the Argentina U21 international.

In fact, one source from the Argentine club is quoted as telling Ole: “Racing will surely consider sending an offer for Veliz.”

Racing could make a big financial push for Veliz

Sport Witness also relayed another report from Racing de Alma, who are even more confident that Racing will push ahead with a move for the Argentine youngster.

The report says that the Primera Division’s side move for Veliz is now ‘gaining momentum’ and they now plan on making formal contact with the North London side to ‘expedite the move’.

In fact, the website adds that Racing will send an offer to Tottenham soon for the centre-forward, with the club set to make a ‘significant financial push’ by bidding €8m (£6.8m) for the former Rosario Central man.

Tottenham Hotspur have their eye on a winger who is currently at the Club World Cup, but they may have to battle a whole host of clubs, including their North London rivals, Arsenal, to land the player.

It has been widely reported that Thomas Frank’s top priority is to strengthen Tottenham’s attack this summer, which makes perfect sense considering that Heung-min Son’s future at Spurs is now shrouded in doubt.

It emerged earlier his month that Tottenham had expressed an interest in RB Leipzig winger Dorgeles Nene, who has found the back of the net 15 times and provided nine assists across 2024-25.

The report claimed that Salzburg are expected to demand around €20m (£16.8m) to €25m (£21m) for the 22-year-old attacker.

Tottenham face intense competition for Dorgeles Nene

A new report in Africa Foot has confirmed that the Lilywhites have their eye on the winger, but they are not alone in their admiration for the Salzburg man.

Nene, who is currently with the Austrian Bundesliga side at the ongoing Club World Cup, is also thought to be on the radar of Arsenal.

Additionally, the Mali international, whose current deal at Salzburg runs until 2028, is also being eyed by Paris Saint-Germain, Bayer Leverkusen, Galatasaray and Club Brugge.

It thus appears that Spurs have their work cut out if they are to win the race for the 22-year-old’s signature.

Africa Foot even reached out to the Malian for comment about his future amidst the ongoing speculation about a potential summer transfer.

The winger seemed to admit that several clubs are interested in his services and refused to rule out a possible summer transfer.

Nene told the outlet: “I’m coming off an interesting season, and that’s bound to attract the interest of other clubs. But for now, I’m staying focused on the competition with my club since I’m still under contract.

“So, I’m letting my agents take care of my contractual situation, but I’m not closing any doors.”

Tottenham Hotspur are now reportedly ready to break their transfer record to land Eberechi Eze after learning the attacking midfielder’s stance on a move to N17.

It was reported at the start of this week that Eze is in favour of a move to Tottenham after the Lilywhites made advances towards the Crystal Palace star.

However, since then, various sources have reported that Spurs face plenty of competition for Eze’s signature, which complicates their pursuit of the 26-year-old.

According to a new report, the North Londoners are now ready to steal a march on the competition and sink a defining blow in the race for the England international.

Tottenham are prepared to meet Eberechi Eze’s release clause

This report comes from TEAMtalk, who claim that Tottenham Hotspur are now ready to meet the Palace star’s £68m release clause, which would make him their club-record signing, beating out the £65m they paid for Dominic Solanke last summer.

The outlet states that Eze is enthusiastic about a move to North London, with the player drawn by the growing excitement around Thomas Frank’s vision for Spurs.

Frank is now convinced that the Eagles man is the ideal fit for his side after the Lilywhites failed to get a deal over the line for Bryan Mbeumo, who is expected to join Man United.

The former Brentford boss sees Eze as a versatile addition, who is capable of playing off the flank and complementing James Maddison in a dynamic attacking setup.

Spurs are now keen to act swiftly to tie up a deal for the attacking midfielder, with Frank making it clear to the club that he wants time to integrate new signings into his system ahead of the new season.

Spurs confident of landing Eze amid strong Crystal Palace stance

TEAMtalk say that Spurs are confident of winning the race for the Palace man after learning about his openness to join the project.

The outlet backs up what we have heard from other sources, stating that the South London club are willing to accept the £68m clause in several instalments.

However, the Selhurst Park hierarchy have made it clear that the first upfront payment must be close to £45m for them to sanction the deal.

The report adds that Eze is described by sources as ‘incredibly professional’ and he will not do anything to force a move away from Palace if they cannot reach an agreement with Tottenham.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly turned down several advances to sign one of their young guns, who had an outstanding season out on loan in 2024-25.

Several Tottenham Hotspur youngsters have impressed out on loan across various divisions last season, but no player has arguably seen his stock rise as dramatically as Jamie Donley.

The 20-year-old was a linchpin of the Leyton Orient side, driving their promotion push, which ultimately ended in heartbreak in the League One Play-Off final, with Charlton Athletic emerging 1-0 winners against the O’s.

The attacking midfielder scored eight goals and provided 10 assists in 39 league appearances and Donley even came in for praise from Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham yet to decide on Jamie Donley’s future

However, the youngster will now have to win over a new manager and coaching staff when he returns to Hotspur Way, with Postecoglou having been replaced by Thomas Frank.

It was claimed by TBR Football last week that Frank could retain Donley as a part of his first-team plans next season.

It has now been revealed by Football.London’s Alasdair Gold that Spurs have already turned down several loan offers for the midfielder.

Gold explains that Spurs have done this at the request of Frank, who wants to work with Donley in training during pre-season.

However, the journalist does not rule out the possibility of the Spurs academy graduate being loaned out, revealing that Tottenham will ‘reassess’ the youngster’s situation later in the summer.

Thomas Frank will also watch two other Spurs youngsters closely

It has also been reported recently that Tottenham have rejected loan advances for Luka Vuskovic as Frank wants to take a closer look at the Croat during pre-season.

Frank has also reportedly told Spurs to reject offers for Ashley Phillips for the time being, with the Dane not ruling out using the youngster in his first-team plans for the upcoming season.

Several of Tottenham’s young guns thus have a great opportunity to catch the 51-year-old’s eye in pre-season, and they will be keen to make an impression.
