Spurs Web

Liverpool are ready to sell one of their attackers for a cut-price fee this summer, and this has alerted Tottenham Hotspur, who could have one big advantage over the other big clubs across Europe in the race for the player.

When Liverpool signed Federico Chiesa last summer, it was hailed as a smart piece of business by the Reds, but the move simply has not worked out for the winger.

The Italy international has made just five Premier League appearances for Arne Slot’s men this season, and it turns out that he could be allowed to exit Anfield after just one season.

It has now emerged that several big clubs are plotting a move for the former Juventus man, with Ange Postecoglou’s men in the thick of the race.

Tottenham could emerge as ‘serious contenders’ to land Federico Chiesa

CaughtOffside claim that Liverpool are willing to cash in on Cheisa this summer on the back of a disappointing first year at Anfield for the attacker.

In fact, it is alleged that the Premier League champions are ready to accept an offer of just €15m–€20m (£12.7m-£17m) for the Italian.

This relatively low valuation has attracted interest from both Napoli and AC Milan, who are now monitoring the Liverpool man’s situation.

However, Tottenham Hotspur may hand Cheisa an opportunity to remain in the Premier League, with the outlet stating that the Lilywhites could emerge as ‘serious contenders’ for the 27-year-old this summer.

Tottenham may have an advantage in Chiesa transfer race

CaughtOffside go on to add that Napoli and AC Milan have one major stumbling block, which is the winger’s current salary, with neither Serie A club likely to match his £150,000 per week contract at Merseyside.

Additionally, the publication backs up what we have heard from other sources by stating that Fabio Paratici is expected to re-join Tottenham in a formal role this summer.

Fabrizio Romano has pointed out one crucial detail regarding Cristian Romero’s current situation at Tottenham, which adds a lot of credence to the speculation linking the centre-back with a move away from the North London club.

It is the worst-kept secret in the world that Atletico Madrid have spoken to the Tottenham centre-back, with some outlets even reporting that Cristian Romero has already agreed personal terms with Atletico.

Romero has even gone public with his desire to play in Spain, with the timing of his comments sending a clear message on what he wants to do this summer.

Some Spurs fans may still harbour hope that the centre-back may stay at the club, but Fabrizio Romano has now offered another reason why they might end up disappointed.

No negotiations regarding a new deal for Cristian Romero

Romano has now pointed out that the defender, who has two years left on his contract at N17, is currently not having any conversations with Tottenham Hotspur regarding a new deal.

The Italian transfer guru added that no talks have been planned with the defender’s entourage by Spurs and sees this as a telling sign of what to expect for the Argentine when the transfer window opens.

When asked if Romero is expected to leave Tottenham, Romano told GiveMeSport: “From what I’m hearing, there is no active conversation between Tottenham and Cristian Romero to extend the contract. And that’s the crucial point, I think.

“In this moment, Cristian Romero is not discussing a new deal, and it’s probably also not something they are expecting to do in the next months. So there is a possibility to see movements around Romero.”

Why Romero’s future may not be a foregone conclusion just yet

While it is clear that Diego Simeone’s men and the player want the transfer to go through, that does not mean that striking a deal will be easy for the La Liga side.

It has been widely reported that Tottenham are demanding almost double the fee that Atletico are willing to offer for Romero.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly made the difficult decision to cash in on a first-team regular in the summer, and the race for his signature is already heating up, with three La Liga clubs expressing their interest in the player along with a Premier League giant.

Pedro Porro is one of the few players in the Tottenham squad who has remained fit for most of the season.

While the right-back has struggled defensively at times, some will put that down to the fact that he has played more minutes than almost any other player in the Spurs squad.

Some sources have claimed over recent weeks that Tottenham may cash in on Porro this summer to relieve their financial pressures, and according to some outlets, Manchester City have their eye on Porro.

Three La Liga clubs affected by Tottenham’s Pedro Porro decision

Fichajes have now claimed that Spurs have opened the door to the right-back’s departure this summer, and clubs are wasting no time in exploring a move for the defender.

The outlet backs up the claim about Man City evaluating Porro and reveals that they have now been joined in the race for the Tottenham man by three Spanish sides: Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Villarreal.

It is explained that Diego Simeone is looking at the Spain international as an option for the right-wing role, while Barcelona want him to battle Jules Kounde for the right-back slot.

The report adds that Villarreal will only consider making a move for Porro if they qualify for the Champions League.

Why do Tottenham want to sell Porro and for what fee?

Fichajes claim that Tottenham have been relatively pleased with Porro’s performances this season, but they believe that they could get a good financial return for the experienced full-back.

With the interest in the Spaniard’s signature growing, the Lilywhites are hoping to get more than £50m from the former Sporting Lisbon man’s sale.

A player who Tottenham Hotspur tried to sign last summer and allegedly explored a move for again in January is now expected to be in the shop window this summer, according to a club insider.

Based on the speculation over the last few weeks, it appears that Spurs are prioritising reinforcements in the middle of the park ahead of the transfer window.

It turns out that an English midfielder they have had a keen interest in over the last 12 months may be on the market this summer.

Some sources claimed that Jacob Ramsey was keen on a switch to Tottenham last summer after the North London club made a move, but Aston Villa were reluctant to let him leave.

Ahead of the January window, it was reported that Spurs were ready to rival Newcastle and Arsenal for Ramsey, but once again, the attacking midfielder remained at Villa Park.

Former Villa man expects Jacob Ramsey to leave this summer

Mick Brown, who has worked as a scout for several Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa, and remains well connected with the Midlands side, expects the 23-year-old to be put up for sale this summer.

He claimed that Ramsey is not in Unai Emery’s plans and that the England Under-21 international wants to leave the club in search of regular game time. It is not revealed whether Tottenham Hotspur would be interested in Jacob Ramsey again.

Brown told Football Insider: “Jacob Ramsey is one I hear could leave Villa. It’s a bit like the Kobbie Mainoo situation at Man United, where he would be sold to help them raise money because of their financial issues.

“That money could then be spent on new players who would improve their side. I don’t think the manager knows where Ramsey fits in with his plans. He’s played in midfield and out wide without really managing to establish himself anywhere.

“There are players ahead of him in both positions, so if a big offer comes in, I think they’ll sell. From his point of view as well, he’ll want to be playing regular first-team football at this stage of his career, and I don’t think he’ll get that at Villa.

“So it could be a deal that works for all parties, providing the fee is right, and I’m sure there won’t be a shortage of interest because he’s a talented player.”

What other midfielders are Tottenham eyeing?

There is certainly a theme to the midfielders that Ange Postecoglou’s men have been linked with, with the club seemingly targeting homegrown, energetic and versatile midfielders.

Tottenham are thought to be on the trail of Morgan Gibbs-White, while it has also been revealed that Spurs are well placed to win the race for Lille’s Angel Gomes.

With a place in the Europa League final booked, Ange Postecoglou still has tricky calls to make as he balances rotation with momentum for Sunday’s derby clash against Crystal Palace. Let’s take a look at our predicted Tottenham XI to face Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The Premier League season is coming to an end, and for Tottenham Hotspur, all eyes are firmly set on the Europa League, where a final looms in less than two weeks.

In domestic competition, however, another capital showdown beckons, as Tottenham prepare to host Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Crystal Palace got the better of Spurs in the reverse fixture earlier this season, and a repeat result this weekend would see them complete a league double over their London rivals.

With the European final fast approaching, Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that several changes will be made to his starting eleven, with a full rotation of his backline expected.

Let’s take a look at our predicted Tottenham XI to take on Crystal Palace this weekend.

Tottenham predicted lineup vs Crystal Palace as Ange Postecoglou confirms rotation

Goalkeeper – Guglielmo Vicario: Vicario has been struggling for form in recent Premier League outings, and Postecoglou will be hoping that consistent gametime can help the goalkeeper rediscover some rhythm.

Right-back – Archie Gray: With the manager making clear that the entire backline will be rotated, Gray is expected to step in for Pedro Porro.

Centre-back – Ben Davies: Following Cristian Romero’s strong performance against Glimt, it is likely the Argentine will be protected this weekend, paving the way for Davies to come into the side.

Centre-back – Kevin Danso: Danso needs continued minutes in the lead-up to the final, especially if Tottenham switch to a back five to protect a lead. He is expected to replace Micky van de Ven.

Left-back – Djed Spence: The final change in the back four sees Djed Spence come in for Destiny Udogie. The full-back must improve on his last outing, having struggled against West Ham United.

Pivot midfielder – Yves Bissouma: With Lucas Bergvall ruled out for the remainder of the campaign, Bissouma remains the natural replacement in the pivot role and is expected to retain his spot on Sunday.

Central midfielder – Pape Matar Sarr: Given the injury concerns in midfield, Postecoglou is unlikely to risk Rodrigo Bentancur, who is only just returning to his best. Sarr is expected to come in for the Uruguayan.

Central midfielder – Dejan Kulusevski: With both Lucas Bergvall and James Maddison ruled out for the rest of the season, Tottenham are short of options in the creative midfield role. Kulusevski will need to step up in Maddison’s absence, with the Swede’s form critical heading into the final.

Left midfielder – Mathys Tel: With Heung-min Son’s fitness still in question, Tel is likely to continue on the left flank in the Premier League, with Son expected to come off the bench later in the game.

Striker – Richarlison: The Brazilian has featured off the left in recent games following his return from injury, but is expected to lead the line ahead of Dominic Solanke this weekend.

Tottenham Hotspur have just been warned that an EFL starlet they have their eye on features very high on the transfer wishlist of a German club.

Tottenham Hotspur have not been shy of shopping from the Championship over recent years, with Djed Spence, Ashley Phillips and Archie Gray coming to the North London club on the back of one good season in the second tier.

The Lilywhites now reportedly have their sights on another highly rated EFL teenager, who is expected by many to follow in the footsteps of his more accomplished older brother.

It has been widely reported that Tottenham are ready to make a move for Jobe Bellingham after what has been a breakthrough year for the 19-year-old at the Stadium of Light.

According to reports, Sunderland are expected to demand £20m for Bellingham, who has allegedly been scouted by a number of top-flight sides.

Manchester United are also keen on beating Tottenham to Bellingham once the summer window opens, but the Premier League clubs might not have things all their own way.

Borussia Dortmund join Tottenham in Jobe Bellingham race

Over recent weeks, we have already heard several reports that Bellingham is also attracting interest from Germany.

The Sunderland man’s older brother rose to fame at Borussia Dortmund before making the big-money switch to Real Madrid, and it appears that a few Bundesliga clubs want the 19-year-old to follow a similar path.

Sky Sports Germany Florian Plettenberg has now revealed on social media that RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are keen on Bellingham.

He added that Leipzig are “pushing hard” to land the English midfielder and claimed that there are also other clubs in the queue to land the youngster.

Why Bellingham’s future will be determined in the next two weeks

According to various sources, Sunderland hope they can keep Bellingham if they secure promotion to the Premier League.

The Black Cats are preparing for the playoffs, having finished fourth in the Championship. They face a two-legged tie against Coventry City, with the winner set to play the playoff final at Wembley against one of Sheffield United and Bristol City on May 24.

It is difficult to see Bellingham remain at Sunderland if they fail to get promoted, and there is no doubt that Spurs and the midfielder’s other suitors will be keeping a firm eye on the playoffs, ready to pounce on the youngster if Regis Le Bris’s men fail.

Fabrizio Romano has said that Tottenham target Yann Bisseck is generating interest from across the Premier League and the continent and has revealed if any of those clubs have made concrete advances towards the Inter Milan centre-back.

Tottenham may be in the market for an experienced, high-quality centre-back this summer as Spurs are in danger of losing Cristian Romero to Atletico Madrid.

Over the last couple of weeks, a number of outlets have suggested that Tottenham have set their sights on Yann Bisseck.

Recently, it has been reported that Spurs may have to battle West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton for Bisseck, and it has now emerged that there could also be competition from Europe for the German.

Fabrizio Romano reveals Yann Bisseck’s transfer race is wide open

If Tottenham Hotspur are keen on landing the 24-year-old, they will have to overcome plenty of competition to do so, with Romano now revealing that several clubs from the Premier League and Bundesliga have expressed interest in the defender.

However, the transfer guru revealed that according to his sources, the race for the Bisseck is still wide open, with no advanced negotiations at this stage.

When asked about the interest in Inter Milan, Romano told GiveMeSport: “There are clubs in England and also in the Bundesliga, but from what I heard, nothing is advanced at this stage. It’s not an imminent deal.”

Tottenham will have to spend big on Yann Bisseck

Just a few days ago, CaughtOffside reported that the Nerrazzuri are indeed willing to cash in on the Germany international.

However, the update claimed that Inter are expected to demand €55m (£46.8m) for Bisseck this summer and will not entertain any low-ball offers.

Interestingly, the update from CaughtOffside also credited Man United with an interest in the centre-back, naming them and the Hammers as Tottenham’s main competitors in the transfer race.

Tottenham are back in domestic action this weekend as they prepare to face Crystal Palace in a crunch London derby. Here’s how to watch the clash between Tottenham and Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Tottenham Hotspur’s attention would now switch to the Premier League after they secured a spot in the UEFA Europa League finals.

Coming into this clash, Spurs are dealing with several injury setbacks. As it stands, it is touch and go with Heung-min Son, who continues to nurse a foot problem.

Radu Dragusin is ruled out as he recovers from an ACL injury, while James Maddison is out for the rest of the season following a knee injury picked up in the first leg of Tottenham’s clash against Bodo/Glimt.

Lucas Bergvall is also unavailable for the rest of the campaign because of an ankle ligament injury.

Crystal Palace, on the other hand, would be without Chadi Riad, who is nursing a knee injury. Adam Wharton is also set to miss out because of an ankle injury, while Cheick Oumar Doucoure is sidelined because of a knee injury.

It is set to be an interesting clash between both sides, with neither having anything but pride to play for in the League. Crystal Palace, we know, would be looking to attack with intent and try to cause Tottenham problems.

Spurs, on the other hand, would see this clash as an opportunity to get some of their out-of-form players into a good rhythm ahead of the final later this month. There could be goals in this derby.

Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League action against Crystal Palace and Mark Lawrenson has submitted his score prediction.

It feels great to be a Tottenham fan right now. An unprecedented season of defeats and disappointments has been endured and now there appears to be some light at the end of the tunnel.

Spurs are in the Europa League final after an impressive 2-0 victory away to Bodø/Glimt. From the brilliance of Pedro Porro on the wing, to the goalmouth defending from Destiny Udogie, it was an all-around performance to be proud of.

Tottenham’s situation in the Premier League is far less favourable, as the North Londoners sit 16th in the league table. However, with a number of players at the top of their games on Thursday, Mark Lawrenson believes this could motivate the squad players to improve.

Mark Lawrenson predicts a Spurs victory over Crystal Palace

Every league match at this point is essentially preparation for Tottenham’s European final clash with Manchester United. Lawrenson expects members of the Tottenham first-team squad to up their game, as each player will be desperate to be named in the starting lineup.

Making his prediction for Spurs against Palace on Paddy Power, he said: “Tottenham made easy work of a potentially slippery banana on Thursday.

“I think most of their squad is fit and, like United, they’ll all want to play in the final. That might make a few up their game.”

Some Tottenham players have a point to prove

League matches may seem pointless with little left to play for, but they provide the players with a final chance to show Ange Postecoglou they are good enough to play in the final.

Wilson Odobert is one player with a point to prove. He scored Tottenham’s only goal against West Ham last weekend, but looks to be behind Brennan Johnson in the pecking order. Pape Matar Sarr will also be hoping to give Postecoglou something to think about, although this will not be easy after Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur impressed on Thursday.

In the process of beating Bodo/Glimt in the second leg and securing their passage to the Europa League final, Tottenham have broken a 64-year record.

Tottenham Hotspur are now just one game away from winning just the fourth European trophy in their history, with Manchester United standing in their way.

The big final at Bilbao will undoubtedly attract the eyes of the world, with both clubs desperately needing the silverware on the back of abject seasons domestically.

Spurs are looking to win their first trophy since their League Cup win in 2008, and Ange Postecoglou believes that his side can turn over Man United in the final, given the resilience and the character his players have shown through the season.

Tottenham have broken their long-standing European record

Tottenham’s 2-0 win in Norway was their ninth win of the Europa League campaign. According to talkSPORT, the North London club have not won more than eight in a single European campaign since 1961.

That means that Ange Postecoglou has broken a record that stood for 64 years, but one has to keep in mind that the Europa League has entered a new format this season, with two more group stage games than usual.

Still, it is not a record to be scoffed at and shows that Tottenham have been consistent in Europe despite their struggles domestically.

While a lot has been said and written about the club’s 17-year trophy drought, their trophy drought in Europe is considerably longer.

Captain Steve Perryman proudly held the trophy aloft in Belgium that evening, and Heung-min Son could get the honour to hoist the same trophy in Spain for Spurs 41 years later.
