A Tottenham Hotspur centre-back has allegedly already held a meeting with Besiktas, if reports from Turkey are to be believed.

There is undoubtedly some worry at Spurs over the futures of their big stars ahead of the summer window as the club are mired in a battle for Premier League survival.

There is expected to be a mass exodus from Tottenham should the club be relegated, with several clubs already eyeing raiding N17 for some big-name stars.

In fact, reports indicate that some at Spurs are panicked about the possibility of losing Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, even if the club stays up.

Kevin Danso could also leave Tottenham this summer

It has now emerged that Van de Ven and Romero may not be the only centre-backs to leave Spurs this summer, with Kevin Danso also attracting transfer interest.

According to a report in Fanatik, Danso has emerged as a target for Besiktas ahead of the summer window.

The Turkish side are planning to restructure their defence at the end of this campaign, and they have identified the Tottenham man as the preferred partner for Emmanuel Agbadou.

In fact, the outlet claims that Besiktas have already met with Danso and are now planning for an approach when the transfer window reopens.

Besiktas failed with a move for Danso in January

Fanatik say that the Istanbul club first made contact with the Austrian during the winter transfer window, but they were unable to reach a financial agreement with Tottenham.

The report says that Besiktas were looking to complete a deal of around €20m (£17.2m) for Danso, who was signed by Tottenham from Lens for €25m (£21.5m) around a year ago.

The outlet asserts that the 27-year-old defender is receptive to the idea of moving to the Tupras Stadium in the summer.

Dele Alli has opened up on how it feels to have Tottenham fans continue to sing his name, four years on from his exit.

The attacking midfielder was a vital part of the Mauricio Pochettino side at Tottenham, which came close to winning the Premier League and the Champions League.

It did not take long for Dele to become a fan favourite, with the White Hart Lane faithful falling in love with his cheekiness, audacity and skill almost instantly.

The England international looked destined for big things at the time, but some off-field issues, fitness problems and loss of form have seen his career nosedive over recent years.

Dele Alli admits he gets emotional when Tottenham fans sing his name

The 29-year-old, who is currently without a club, returned to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last Sunday for the North London derby.

He revealed that seeing videos of the Spurs fans singing his name sometimes makes him feel emotional.

Addressing the supporters, Dele told Tottenham’s official channel: “I think I have to owe you guys a bigger thank you.

“The love and the support I felt from the fans during my whole time at Tottenham was surreal. So I think I owe you guys a thank you rather than you owe me a thank you.

“I see some videos online [of them singing my name]. For me it’s felt like I have a very special connection with them and sometimes it makes me a little bit emotional. Seeing the videos getting love and appreciation. It feels good.”

Dele admits his personality was a natural fit for Spurs

The MK Dons academy graduate instantly clicked in a Tottenham shirt when he arrived as a teenager in 2015.

Dele admitted that Tottenham’s love for attacking flair and his personality were a natural fit from day one.

When asked about the connection he forged with Spurs, he said: “Me being me, I like to have fun and I like to entertain. Off the pitch it kind of showed.

“To dare is to do is what Tottenham is about and I showed a lot of that in my personality, and that is the way I am as a person. It was quite easy to relate.”

An impressive stat shows that Tottenham Hotspur have a bigger European legacy than most clubs in the Premier League.

Igor Tudor has refused to be distracted by the Champions League draw, with the Croat stating that the Lilywhites have ’11 finals’ in the Premier League.

One can understand the 47-year-old’s sentiment, given that Tottenham are currently in a fight to avoid relegation for the first time in nearly half a century.

However, it is impossible for fans not to be excited after Spurs were drawn against Atletico Madrid in the round of 16 stage of the Champions League.

Tottenham have the best record of any English club in the Europa League

Spurs do not have a rich history in the Champions League, although they have been semi-regular in the competition for the last decade and a half, and were one step away from winning it in 2019.

However, as far as the Europa League is concerned, the Lilywhites have a bigger legacy than any other Premier League club.

Tottenham won the competition for the third time last season, and Transferkmarkt have now revealed that the club have played 159 matches in the competition, comfortably higher than any other British side.

Spurs have won 57 per cent of their matches in the Europa League (or the UEFA Cup as it used to be called), which is only bettered slightly by Arsenal and Newcastle, who have played far fewer games than Tottenham.

Can Spurs perform a miracle in the Champions League this season?

This season has not been too different from the last campaign for Tottenham, who have done exceedingly well in Europe while their domestic form continues to go from bad to worse.

Some Spurs supporters may be dreaming that this campaign could have a fairytale ending just like the last one.

However, the Champions League is a much more difficult competition to win, and unlike last campaign, the club cannot put all their eggs in the European basket, with relegation now a very real possibility.

There has been a big update on Tottenham’s stance on Mikey Moore ahead of the summer transfer window.

Moore continues to demonstrate his class for Rangers, with the winger now appearing settled at Ibrox and getting better with each outing.

It has been widely reported that the Tottenham youngster would be open to extending his loan spell at Rangers as he feels settled in Glasgow.

It was suggested that Spurs would agree to extend Moore’s stay at the Scottish club if it guarantees him regular first-team football, but a fresh update has now made a surprising claim about the Lilywhites’ stance on the 18-year-old.

Tottenham ready to sell Mikey Moore permanently to Rangers

Football FanCast have now revealed that talks have already begun between Rangers and Tottenham about extending the winger’s stay at Ibrox.

The report states that discussions are ongoing about a permanent transfer of the Spurs academy graduate to the Glasgow side.

It is revealed that Tottenham are willing to sanction the sale of Moore as long as the deal includes a hefty sell-on clause and grants them the first refusal on any future move for the youngster.

The report adds that the teenager is open to remaining with Danny Rohl’s side over the long term.

Why the proposed Moore deal may make sense for Spurs

At first glance, it may seem ridiculous that Tottenham are considering letting go of one of the most talented young players.

However, if the deal includes a sell-on clause and a first refusal or buy-back option, it is in essence nothing more than an extended loan deal.

A former Arsenal man is being considered to take over as Tottenham Hotspur’s permanent head coach in the summer.

Igor Tudor is not expected to remain at Tottenham beyond the summer, with the Croat only being handed a five-month contract without an option of an extension.

Several sources have said that Mauricio Pochettino is Spurs’ top target to take over in the summer once his contract with the United States runs out after the World Cup.

Roberto De Zerbi is also allegedly near the top of Tottenham’s wishlist, but it has now emerged that a young Serie A coach is also under consideration by the club’s hierarchy.

Cesc Fabregas could get the Tottenham managerial job

TEAMtalk say that Cesc Fabregas is emerging as one of the most sought-after managers in the world, and his name is now being discussed by Premier League clubs, including Spurs.

The Arsenal legend has done an exceptional job since taking over at Como in 2024, with the club now sitting in sixth place in the Serie A table and mounting a charge for Champions League qualification.

This has brought him to the attention of Tottenham, who are weighing up an approach for the 38-year-old among several other candidates.

Spurs will face competition for Fabregas

TEAMtalk say that Fabregas’s strong connections with Arsenal and Chelsea during his playing career are not expected to be a barrier for the Lilywhites should they decide to make an approach.

However, Spurs are not the only Premier League side eyeing the Spaniard ahead of the summer.

Fabregas is on Man City’s radar as a potential option to succeed Pep Guardiola, while Chelsea also considered their former midfielder before they eventually hired Liam Rosenior at the start of last month.

Les Ferdinand has shed light on what he has picked up from watching Tottenham’s Mikey Moore play at Rangers this season.

The 18-year-old has been tipped for big things at Hotspur Way for the last few years, and he is now showing just why many are excited about him.

Moore is now delivering consistently in the final third for Rangers, and has become a fan favourite at the club over recent months.

In fact, some pundits have suggested that Spurs were wrong to loan out the teenager, arguing that he would have come in handy for the Lilywhites, given their struggles in the wide areas this term.

Les Ferdinand reveals what should excite Tottenham fans about Mikey Moore

Ferdinand has revealed that he has been keeping track of the teenager’s development from a young age, and asserted that learning to deal with the pressure at Rangers will do wonders for the youngster.

The former Spurs striker told The Daily Record: “I speak to David Pleat quite a lot and David was very much involved in Tottenham when Mikey Moore was coming through the academy. I remember David naming a few players he felt had a good chance in the game and Mikey’s name was among them.

“So I’ve been keeping an eye on him ever since. I saw Mikey a few times last season in Europe, and he looked very, very promising. I was pretty surprised that Spurs let him go out on loan this year because of the squad they have and the lack of creativity we’re now seeing lead to problems. I thought they’d keep him around.

“Thomas Frank lost a few key players to injury, like James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, but I suppose they felt he probably would benefit better from being out on loan and getting a full season under his belt. Sometimes you look at it, and you think where’s the best place to get game time?

“And yeah, there’s a lot of pressure up at Rangers. But then it all depends on how you see him dealing with that because you’ve got different personalities. With some players, you might think, ‘No chance, he can’t go to Rangers, he won’t be able to deal with what comes with that’.

“But the Tottenham leadership obviously felt that he was mature enough to be able to deal with whatever came at Rangers this year. And to be fair, I was up watching a game a few months ago and saw him play against Hibs just before Christmas and I thought he did superbly.”

Ferdinand admitted that the maturity that the Tottenham academy graduate has shown at Rangers has caught his eye.

He continued: “The one word that springs to mind when talking about Mikey Moore this season is maturity – he’s shown a level of maturity that perhaps most 18 year olds don’t show.

“I heard him say in one of his first press conferences that his aim is to be one of the best players in the world and I like that because you have to believe in what you’re doing, regardless of what everybody else says. If that’s where you want to go and that’s what you believe you’re capable of, that’s what you’ve got to tell people.

“I often hear people go to certain clubs because they want to win something – but they don’t talk about it, they just skirt around the edges. But if that’s his ambition, why not talk about it? From what I’ve seen of Mikey so far, I certainly do like his attitude.”

Ferdinand warns Moore cannot warm the bench next season

Reports indicate that Tottenham may extend Moore’s loan spell at Rangers in the summer so that the youngster can continue getting regular game time.

Some Spurs fans may feel that the 18-year-old should compete for first-team minutes at Spurs, but Ferdinand believes that the youngster would not benefit from warming the bench.

He added: “Whatever happens next with Mikey, it will be no good for him after a season like this one when he has played so many games for Rangers for him then to go back and do nothing or only get sporadic minutes. We’ll only know by the end of the season whether it’s been a good year for Rangers but so far has it been a successful loan for the young man? I think that’s beyond doubt.

“So the last thing you want to do is go back somewhere where you end up sitting on a bench, where you’re not involved. Mikey will want to expand on what he’s done. Whether that means another year at Rangers as progression for him, it’s not for me to say. But what I can tell you is that I’d hate to see him go back to Spurs and just sit on a bench and not play.”

Mauricio Pochettino has directly responded to reports that he could be in line for a fairy tale return to Tottenham Hotspur in the summer.

According to reports, Igor Tudor has been informed by Spurs that he is unlikely to stay beyond the summer, with the Croat being bought in as a temporary firefighter.

In fact, some sources have reported that Spurs have already started working on bringing Pochettino back to the club, six and a half years on from the Argentine’s exit from the club.

Reports indicate that the former Spurs manager would jump at the chance to return to N17, and he has now directly addressed the speculation over his future.

Mauricio Pochettino plays down Tottenham return reports but keeps options open

The 53-year-old has suggested that the rumours linking him with a return to Spurs are down to his history at the North London club.

He insisted that he is solely focused on the upcoming World Cup campaign with the United States, but added that he is ‘open to everything’ in the summer.

When asked about suggestions that he could return to Spurs, Pochettino said (via The Daily Express): “I’m always linked [to clubs], to Tottenham, just like at one time I was linked to Espanyol, or to other clubs.

“In the end, especially because of my past at those clubs, when things aren’t going well, people tend to fall back on emotions and say: ‘Well, with Mauricio we played good football’, or whatever it may be.

“But no. We’re focused on the World Cup, on the United States. My contract runs until after the World Cup, so after that we’ll see what might happen. Open to everything, right?”

Pochettino may have already signalled his intention to return to Spurs

Since leaving the club in 2019, Pochettino has repeatedly made it clear that Tottenham hold a special place in his heart.

In his recent appearance on the High Performance Podcast, Pochettino said that winning the Europa League was not enough for Tottenham, adding that the club of that size should be competing for the Premier League and Champions League titles.

That suggests that the Argentine feels that he still has unfinished business at Spurs after coming so close to winning the biggest trophies.

A Spanish outlet has suggested that one national team boss would likely prefer to see his player representing Real Madrid than Tottenham.

Tottenham may potentially be in danger of having some of their best players poached this summer after two poor Premier League campaigns.

In fact, reports indicate that there is panic at Spurs that some key players may ask to leave in the summer.

It has now been suggested that a senior Tottenham Hotspur man could be persuaded to leave N17 by the possible intervention of his international boss.

Lionel Scaloni could play a role in Cristian Romero leaving Tottenham

Cristian Romero has already expressed his frustration with what is unfolding at Tottenham, and the Spurs skipper has no shortage of suitors.

The Spurs captain is reportedly of interest to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid ahead of the summer window.

A new report in El Intransigente has now discussed the 27-year-old’s future, and the outlet is not confident that Madrid will be able to complete a deal for the centre-back.

However, they suggest that Argentina’s boss, Lionel Scaloni, may welcome the possibility of the centre-back playing for the biggest club in the world.

The report asserts that Scaloni would ‘celebrate the leap in quality’ if Romero were to join the Spanish capital club.

The report further states that a move to the Spanish capital will not just be a jump up in sporting ambitions, but it will also hold ‘symbolic’ value for the centre-back, placing him at a ‘whole new level’ within his national setup.

It is suggested that the Tottenham man’s role with the La Albiceleste could change if he joins Los Blancos.

The publication adds that if Romero establishes himself as a key player at Madrid, it would make him an ‘undisputed pillar’ of the Argentine national team.

Football finance expert Stefan Borson has revealed what he expects Tottenham Hotspur to do in the summer transfer window.

We continue to hear a lot of positive updates regarding the Tottenham hierarchy’s ambitions, but Spurs fans are yet to see the club’s actions match the rhetoric.

Just a few days ago, it emerged that Tottenham are ready to remove their restrictive salary cap to compete in the transfer market for elite players.

We have also heard suggestions that Spurs are eyeing a major rebuilding of their squad at the end of this campaign, after another poor showing domestically.

Stefan Borson reveals if Tottenham will be in a position to spend big

Tottenham look set to miss out on all European football next season, unless they do the unthinkable and win the Champions League.

That may severely affect the club’s bottom line, but Borson insists that the club would still be in a position to plan a huge summer outlay even without the additional revenue that European football would bring.

The finance expert told Football Insider: “I think there’s still a good chance that they get quite far in the Champions League, just because the way the draw has fallen.

“But the truth must be that they’re not going to be in a European competition next season, so that’s going to have an impact. I think it’s going to have an impact in terms of the players hanging around. They’re going to need promises. Look, it is possible that those promises are going to be made.

“They’re certainly going to have financially this season a fantastic year because they’ve managed to keep the wage bill under control. They’ve not spent hugely on football players. They’ve sort of tweaked the squad. They’ve got some compensation that they’ve ended up having to pay out to Frank. They’ve had the Champions League.”

Spurs may have no choice but to spend big in the summer

Cristian Romero has already hinted at his dissatisfaction with the club’s January business, with the Tottenham captain labelling the club’s shortage of players at the moment as a ‘disgrace’.

Borson believes that Spurs will have no choice but to show ambition in the next transfer window if they want to keep their best players happy.

He added: “Overall, this season, I think financially it’s going to be really strong for them. It’s going to give them a bit of a war chest when it comes to squad cost ratios for next season and for the Uefa tests to the extent that they’re relevant next season.

Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on a Real Madrid attacker, who has found starts hard to come by at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Spurs have struggled to create chances all season, and adding more creative quality to their squad would thus be among the club’s priorities in the summer.

We have heard reports suggesting that Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers is Tottenham’s dream attacking target this summer, but the Lilywhites may struggle to push through that deal if they are not in the Champions League.

Spurs may thus need to turn to a more realistic option, and one Madrid teenager has now allegedly caught their eye.

Tottenham preparing offer for Real Madrid’s Franco Mastantuono

According to a report in El Nacional (as relayed by Fichajes), Real Madrid starlet Franco Mastantuono has emerged as a summer target for the Lilywhites.

The 19-year-old has just 15 league appearances at the Santiago Bernabeu this season, having been used as a substitute for many of them.

TEAMtalk say that Spurs have now emerged as the favourites to land Mastantuono and are now preparing an offer for the youngster.

The report adds that the Lilywhites see the Argentine as the ‘ideal player to revitalise their attack’, but they face competition from Brighton, who are also monitoring the versatile attacker ahead of the summer.

What is Madrid’s and Mastantuono’s stance on a summer transfer?

TEAMtalk say that the Argentina international is looking for an exit from the Spanish capital this summer as he wants regular game time.

Even though Mastantuono’s current deal runs until 2031, the player could be on his way to the Premier League this summer after just one season in Madrid.

The report adds that Madrid supremo Florentino Pérez will accept an offer close to €50m (£43.5m) for the talented left-footed player, who can operate as a number ten or on the right.
