Spurs Web

One experienced Tottenham man, who played a huge hand in the club’s march to Europa League glory is attracting interest from elsewhere in the Premier League.

While there has been a lot said and written about potential incomings at Hotspur Way this summer, there could also be many exits from Tottenham, particularly if the club decide to sack Ange Postecoglou and go in a different direction.

One man whose future is very much up in the air is Yves Bissouma, with the midfielder having just one year left on his current Tottenham contract.

A couple of months ago, some outlets treated it as a foregone conclusion that Tottenham would cash in on Bissouma, but the Mali international had a strong end to the season, playing an important role in the latter stages of the Europa League, including a starting role in the 1-0 win over Manchester United in Bilbao.

Yves Bissouma is attracting interest from Leeds United and Everton

Ange Postecoglou has sung Bissouma’s praises for the way he turned around his form at the end of the season, but there is still no suggestion that the 28-year-old is about to be offered a new contract by the Lilywhites.

Ben Jacobs believes that the former Brighton man could be out of the door at Spurs this summer, suggesting Leeds United as a possible destination for the midfielder.

When asked about Bissouma’s future, the journalist told GiveMeSport: “He wants to stay in the Premier League. I’m told Leeds are another one to watch. They’re looking to add another midfielder. It will all come down to finances and wages for them too.”

In a separate interview, Jacobs has also credited Everton with an interest in the Tottenham midfielder.

He said on his appearance on The Last Word Spurs on Monday: “Bissouma is aware of this volume of interest, even Everton, I’m told, could come into the mix because they’re going to be losing a couple of midfielders and also looking to strengthen in that area.”

Bissouma has a year left on his Tottenham contract

There appears to be no shortage of interest in the Tottenham midfielder, with some outlets previously suggesting that Aston Villa could make a move for Bissouma.

It was also claimed a little over a month ago that clubs from Spain, Italy and Saudi Arabia have set their sights on Bissouma.

Should Tottenham decide to offload the midfielder, they will be hoping a bidding war will help drive up his price, however, expect Bissouma to have a big say on his next destination, given his contract situation.

A statement on the Premier League’s official website has made a big claim about Tottenham Hotspur and the so-called “Big Six” after the disastrous domestic campaign endured by the Lilywhites and Manchester United.

While the 2024-25 season will always be remembered by Tottenham fans as the year in which the club broke the longest trophy drought in their history, the team’s abject showing in the league cannot be completely glossed over.

Tottenham have had their worst-ever season in Premier League history, ending the campaign with 22 defeats and finishing just one spot off the relegation zone.

This abject showing is exactly why reports indicate that Ange Postecoglou is likely to be sacked by Spurs despite winning the Europa League trophy.

Premier League’s statement says the old “Big Six” is redundant

The Premier League have completed a round-up of the takeaways from the 2025-25 season on their official website, and they suggest that the “Big Six” might be a thing of the past.

They point out that unlike previous seasons where the six biggest clubs in the country always tended to finish in the top six, that has not been the case for the past few years in a row.

Their statement reads: “In five of the eight Premier League seasons between 2014 and 2022, the “Big Six” clubs filled every top-six spot in the table.

“In the three years since 2022, not once have those six clubs occupied all of the positions from one to six. In fact, the same number of top-six places have gone to clubs not in the “Big Six” in the last three years as in the previous eight years combined (five).

“The historically bad campaigns for both Man Utd and Spurs signal the end of the “Big Six” era, as does Chelsea’s ongoing battle to retain their status alongside the disruptors Newcastle and Aston Villa.”

Tottenham’s domestic showing this season was unacceptable

It is fascinating to see a lot of Spurs fans on social media riling against the idea of the club sacking Postecoglou, which was perhaps to be expected, given how long the fan base has been starved of silverware.

However, one cannot overlook how unprecedentedly poor Tottenham’s league campaign was, with 22 defeats being an acceptable number for a club of the Lilywhites’ resources, irrespective of any extenuating circumstances.

Some supporters seem to forget that the last Spurs manager to win a trophy, Juande Ramos, took two points from his first eight games of the 2008-09 season following his trophy success.

Tottenham Hotspur could be ready to raid Inter Milan this summer, with reports claiming the club is considering a double swoop worth around £68m, and incoming figurehead Fabio Paratici could be central to it all.

Tottenham Hotspur are still awaiting the return of former sporting director Fabio Paratici, with the Italian’s worldwide ban from football set to expire in the coming months.

Should the 52-year-old seal his return, he is expected to play a key role in a number of decisions which Tottenham will take this summer, including transfer dealings and possibly even a say on Ange Postecoglou’s future as manager.

It is now being reported that Paratici’s presence could offer Spurs a decisive edge, as the club has been linked with a pair of Inter Milan players in recent days.

Tottenham consider Inter Milan duo Bisseck and Frattesi in £68m deal

InterLive are now reporting that Tottenham Hotspur’s activity in the summer window could involve Serie A giants Inter Milan, with the expected return of Fabio Paratici a major reason for this development.

According to their report, Spurs are keen on signing Yann Bisseck, who is valued at around £34m – a fee the north London club are believed to have no problem meeting.

The centre-back, who is also being monitored by Manchester United and West Ham, has been a key part of Simone Inzaghi’s team this season, as he has featured in 46 games, scored three goals and assisted three times in all competitions.

It is claimed that Inter Milan will only make a final decision on the 24-year-old’s future after the conclusion of the FIFA Club World Cup, which is set to take place this summer.

Spurs also eye Davide Frattesi as midfield tensions simmer

Fabio Paratici has longstanding links within Italian football, and many of the players Paratici signed for Tottenham came from Serie A during his initial stint.

That trend appears to be continuing, as it is further claimed that Spurs could ‘concretely enter’ the race for Davide Frattesi, particularly if the midfielder’s relationship with Inter Milan deteriorates further in the coming months.

This is not the first time Tottenham have been linked with Frattesi, as back in the January transfer window, the north London club were offered the chance to sign the Italian midfielder.

It has now been revealed that Frattesi and Inter Milan came close to a falling-out during that window, with reports now suggesting the issues between club and player have not been fully resolved.

Should Tottenham wish to secure Frattesi’s signature, they would need to pay an estimated €40m (£34m), meaning a double swoop for both Bisseck and Frattesi would cost the club in the region of £68m.

Journalist Ben Jacobs has just revealed that Tottenham Hotspur have taken a huge step towards landing Angel Gomes over the last few days.

Even though there is no clarity on who Tottenham’s manager will be over the coming weeks, the Lilywhites are seemingly pushing ahead with moves for their transfer targets.

It has been revealed over the last few days that Spurs have started working on a deal to sign Angel Gomes, who is now a free agent after his contract with Lille ran out.

Last month, some outlets claimed that despite facing a lot of competition for the England international, Tottenham are optimistic about their chances of landing Gomes.

Journalist Ben Jacobs has now become the latest to talk up the possibility of the 24-year-old ending up at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer.

He claimed that the North Londoners have already submitted an offer to Gomes’ entourage and over the last past few days, they have grown in confidence that the contract offer will be accepted by the player.

Jacobs told GiveMeSport about Tottenham’s transfer plans: “Gomes is another possibility, and Tottenham have made an offer. What I’ve heard in the last kind of 48 hours is that Tottenham have grown in confidence that their offer might be accepted.”

Gomes has rejected offers from Tottenham’s London rivals

It was previously claimed that although Man United are keen on re-signing the midfielder, Spurs are in the driving seat to beat United to Gomes’ signature.

Football Insider claimed just over a week ago that Gomes had rejected multiple offers from West Ham, and was leaning towards a move to Tottenham.

Tottenham Hotspur’s past transfer dealings could be the club’s biggest constraint in the summer transfer window.

The summer transfer window is now open, and for the Lilywhites, they can begin to make signings before the window closes again on 10 June, before reopening on 16 June and closing finally on 1 September.

Of course, Tottenham are expected to be busy this summer, with reports revealing that Spurs are looking to strengthen three positions ahead of the new campaign.

However, the Lilywhites have already been handed a quadruple blow this window, one that would leave fans worried, as a few of their targets now look to be heading elsewhere.

Tottenham still owe £330m in unpaid transfer fees despite Champions League windfall

Securing UEFA Champions League football has improved Tottenham’s chances of signing a higher calibre of player, with the lure of top-level European football set to be an extra bargaining chip.

The financial reward of at least £40million is expected to be added to Tottenham’s coffers as a result of securing a place in next season’s Champions League, is another huge boost for the north London club.

BBC Sport have now revealed Tottenham’s biggest constraint in the summer window could be unpaid transfer fees proving to be the main obstacle.

Tottenham can strengthen their squad, however, they still owe more than £330million in unpaid transfer fees, a considerable proportion of which are due in summer 2025 and may limit their spending power.

Spurs still active in transfer window despite debt concerns

Regardless of the constraint, Tottenham have already completed their first piece of business this summer, with the club finalising their £21million obligation to buy Kevin Danso from RC Lens, a clause that was inserted in the centre-back’s winter move.

The club have also made their first sale of the window, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg completing his move to French side Marseille for £17million.

A few players have also left on a free transfer, with Sergio Reguilon, Fraser Forster, Timo Werner and Alfie Whiteman all departing following the expiration of their contracts.

Tottenham Hotspur have just learned that a deal for Jarrod Branthwaite will be difficult to complete, but not impossible as Everton’s transfer stance on the centre-back has now come to light.

Amidst the continued speculation over Cristian Romero’s potential departure from Tottenham, it has been widely reported that Spurs may make a move for Marc Guehi this summer.

However, it was reported by The Times on Monday that Spurs may turn their attention to Branthwaite after Guehi had rejected a move to Tottenham.

The race for the Everton man is expected to be hotly contested this summer, with some sources previously claiming that Manchester United were determined to beat Tottenham to Branthwaite this summer.

Jarrad Branthwaite is wanted by Tottenham and Man Utd

The Daily Mail have now backed up Tottenham’s interest in the 22-year-old, claiming that the Lilywhites are expected to test the waters for the young defender.

They say that their London rivals, Chelsea, are also weighing an approach for Jarrad Branthwaite, but both clubs have been told by Everton that the defender is not for sale.

David Moyes has made it clear to the Toffees hierarchy that the England international needs to stay at the club ahead of their first campaign at their new stadium.

However, that does not mean that there is no chance of the centre-back leaving the Merseyside club as the outlet also sheds light on the player’s transfer stance.

The Mail explain that despite Everton’s firm stance, Branthwaite wants to make a step up this season.

It is revealed that the centre-back is keen on playing Champions League football next season to ensure that he finds a regular place in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad, which is something Tottenham can offer after their Europa League final win against Manchester United.

The publication points out that Everton are being realistic and are ready to sell their academy graduate for an offer of around £70m this summer, particularly given that they are not in a comfortable position with respect to PSR.

Heung-min Son could be on the move this summer, with fresh reports indicating Tottenham Hotspur may finally part ways with their long-serving captain.

The future of Heung-min Son has been a major talking point in the past few weeks, with several different reports doing the rounds.

Before the final of the Europa League, it was reported that there was a chance that Son would remain at Spurs for an extra season, despite interest from Saudi Arabia.

The Tottenham captain has achieved his dream of lifting silverware in the Lilywhites of Spurs after he hoisted the Europa League trophy high up in the air under the lights in Spain at the San Mames Stadium.

Heung-min Son set to leave Tottenham despite new contract

A new update on the Korean’s future has now emerged, with the Telegraph reporting that Heung-min Son is set to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

It is claimed that Spurs are looking to generate transfer funds as they aim to refresh their squad ahead of their 2025/26 UEFA Champions League campaign.

Son signed a one-year contract extension in January 2025, but could now be heading out the exit door, with Tottenham believing they could generate a transfer fee from the Korean, amid interest from Saudi Arabian clubs.

Spurs may cash in as Son’s form dips

Son featured in 46 games for the Lilywhites last season, scoring 11 goals and assisting 12 – a far cry from his usual standards, as the winger nursed a foot injury that kept him sidelined at times in the previous campaign.

Spurs are said to be looking to make a few marquee signings this summer, with Eberechi Eze and Jack Grealish a few names being floated about.

Pedro Porro has shrugged off Arsene Wenger’s Champions League comments following Tottenham Hotspur’s Europa League triumph.

The Tottenham Hotspur players remain in high spirits after they managed to put a smile on the faces of Spurs fans who had not seen their club win a trophy in the last 17 years.

A poor Premier League campaign was capped off in the most memorable way possible, with Tottenham winning a European trophy after beating Manchester United 1-0 in the final of the Europa League in Spain at the San Mames Stadium.

The final, which pitted 17th-placed Tottenham against 15th-placed Manchester United, was far from the best of games and it took a scruffy goal from Brennan Johnson to separate both teams and one that would matter little to Spurs supporters who continue to celebrate.

Pedro Porro reacts to Arsene Wenger’s Champions League stance

Before the final between the two English sides, Arsene Wenger stated that he was not a fan of six English teams going into the Champions League.

He also stated that he wants the winners of the Europa League to remain in the competition should they win it, instead of earning a spot in the Champions League.

Pedro Porro has been speaking to the Guardian and has now opened up on the former Arsenal man’s comments, following Tottenham’s Europa League win.

According to the Spaniard, the rules have been there for a while now, insists that Spurs need to focus on themselves and not what old coaches say.

He said: “That rule has been there for years, it is not news. We have to concentrate on ourselves, not what old coaches say … even what old coaches of our own say.”

Spurs secure Champions League spot despite domestic struggles

Indeed, Spurs would now join five other English sides in next season’s Champions League after their Europa League triumph.

Porro, who has been at the heart of Spurs’ European success, would be hoping the club can build from here as they aim to compete on multiple fronts next season.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly in pole position to land Leroy Sane after the winger’s agent, Pini Zahavi, held conversations with the Lilywhites as well as their North London rivals.

We are still waiting to see how the cookie crumbles regarding the winger’s future as the soon-to-be out-of-contract Sane is still in discussions with Bayern Munich over a new deal.

According to reports, Tottenham are increasingly confident of winning the race for Sane if he fails to reach an agreement with the Bundesliga giants.

It has been alleged that Daniel Levy’s close relationship with Zahavi gives Spurs an advantage over other suitors for Sane, but a new report has provided another reason why the Lilywhites are ahead of the competition for the German winger.

Tottenham ready to offer big signing-on bonus to Leroy Sane

According to Sky Sports, Zahavi is now hard at work to assess the various options for his clients and he has spoken to both Tottenham and Arsenal regarding a free transfer.

The report claims that the super-agent has been able to negotiate ‘a much higher financial offer’ with Spurs than their North London rivals.

It is explained that Tottenham have offered an ‘impressive signing bonus’ to Sane in an effort to bring him to N17 while they have also promised the player ‘an undisputed starting place on the right wing’.

The outlet claims that the 29-year-old is seduced by the idea of returning to the Premier League and wants to become the ‘figurehead’ of a new project.

Bayern are not optimistic about tying Sane to a new deal

Sky Sports say that the German international has not ruled out the possibility of signing a new contract at the Allianz Arena.

However, Zahavi’s latest negotiations with Bayern director Max Eberl have left ‘little room for optimism’ that an agreement will be reached between the parties.

Sane has also received ‘concrete offers’ from Turkey and Saudi Arabia, but the winger wants to continue playing at the highest level to keep his place in the German national side, which is why a move to Spurs is ‘increasingly likely’ for the former Manchester City man.

Tottenham could be set for a shake-up this summer, and if Thomas Frank takes over from Ange Postecoglou, a few familiar faces could follow him from Brentford.

Indeed, this week is set to be a crucial one for Tottenham Hotspur, as Spurs are expected to decide on the future of manager Ange Postecoglou in the coming days.

A recent report already states that Postecoglou’s fate as a Spurs manager has been sealed, with Tottenham expected to sack the 59-year-old.

It has also been reported that Spurs have held talks with Thomas Frank of Brentford. The Dane remains one of the names on Tottenham’s list of possible Postecoglou replacements, with talks about the club’s project having taken place, as Tottenham admire Frank’s ability to nurture young talent.

Of course, should the Dane make a switch to Hotspur Way, making signings would be one of the key things on the agenda for the 51-year-old as the summer transfer window is currently open.

We have now put together a list of three players Thomas Frank could bring with him from Brentford should he join Tottenham.

Bryan Mbeumo could add another layer to Tottenham’s right-sided attack

One of the names that many Spurs fans would be hoping to see join Thomas Frank should he make a switch to N17 is Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo.

MORE SPURS STORIES

The Cameroonian international has impressed during his time at the Bees, scoring a total of 42 goals in the Premier League while assisting 30 in 136 appearances.

In the 2024/25 season, Mbeumo produced his best-ever return in the English top flight, scoring 20 goals and providing eight assists in 38 appearances – more than any Spurs player managed last season.

Tottenham have already been linked with a move for Mbeumo ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, with a price tag of £50 million believed to be the amount it would take to lure the right forward out of the Gtech Community Stadium.

If Thomas Frank were to make a switch to Spurs, perhaps he could help convince Mbeumo to join him, as Thomas Frank already admitted that Mbeumo will be sold this summer, but only for the right price and it may take some persuading with the player keen on joining Manchester United.

Yoane Wissa could be a Richarlison replacement at Spurs

Tottenham Hotspur are in the market for another striker, as it has been reported that Spurs are looking to strengthen three areas of their squad this season.

Tottenham have already been handed a huge blow after they missed out on Liam Delap, with the Ipswich Town forward looking set to join Chelsea after they paid his release clause.

Richarlison is said to be considering his future at Tottenham as he eyes a consistent return to the Brazilian national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

This leaves Spurs in desperate need of another forward, and Frank could help Tottenham secure the services of Yoane Wissa, a player who has impressed this season, scoring 19 goals and assisting five in 35 Premier League appearances.

It has been reported that Brentford are willing to listen to offers for Wissa, who is valued significantly lower than Mbeumo due to his age, with the Congolese forward turning 29 soon.

Tottenham have been watching Wissa for some time now, and should they manage to nick Thomas Frank this summer, maybe they will finally put in a bid for the striker.

Mikkel Damsgaard could offer Tottenham depth in midfield

Mikkel Damsgaard is a player Tottenham were interested in back in the summer of 2020, and Thomas Frank could help lure him to Hotspur Way this summer should he replace Postecoglou in the Spurs dugout.

Of course, many could argue that perhaps it is a little too late for the Lilywhites to be going in for the midfielder, but Damsgaard has been a key part of Frank’s setup, having featured in all 38 Premier League games last season.

The midfielder is also a creative outlet, having assisted 10 goals in the league last season as well. Spurs do need a midfielder who can be a backup to James Maddison, who always seems to have injury struggles every season.
