Inter Milan have one stumbling block to overcome to land Guglielmo Vicario from Tottenham Hotspur, which the Serie A club are confident of doing.

Vicario has come under plenty of fire this season in light of the mistakes he has made in goal, and suggestions are that his days at N17 may be numbered.

Reports indicate that Inter Milan are obsessed with landing the Tottenham number one and are already plotting a move for the experienced goalkeeper.

Some sources indicate that the Nerazzurri are ready to hand Vicario a pay bump to lure him to the San Siro.

Slight disparity between Tottenham and Inter Milan Guglielmo Vicario valuations

A new report in L’Interista has confirmed what we have heard from other sources by stating that the former Empoli man has emerged as Inter’s number one target.

However, it is revealed there is still a small gap between the Serie A club and the Premier League side’s valuation of the 29-year-old.

Inter are ready to offer €20m (£17.5m) for Vicario, while Tottenham are thought to be holding out for at least €25m (£21.8m).

However, the outlet says that there is confidence at Inter that the €5m (£4.3m) gap can be bridged as the feeling is that the goalkeeper is now in his ‘final phase’ at Spurs.

Spurs are already planning for life without Vicario

A recent report from Football Insider claimed that Tottenham have already decided that Vicario is not part of their long-term plans.

However, the outlet asserted that the Lilywhites are only willing to offload him at the end of the season and have ruled out a January sale.

Tottenham Hotspur’s Luka Vuskovic has said something very interesting when pressed on what he plans on doing next season.

The centre-back has exceeded all expectations so far on loan at Hamburg, showing exactly why many view him as a generational talent.

In fact, it has been reported that Tottenham are considering tying down Vuskovic to a new contract as his stock continues to grow.

One can understand why the Lilywhites would be tempted to do that, as some of the biggest clubs in Europe are showing an interest in the Spurs youngster, and he has now opened up on his future plans.

Tottenham defender Luka Vuskovic makes admission about Hamburg stay next season

Vusovic has already confirmed that he will not be returning to Spurs in January and that he will complete his loan spell at HSV.

The 18-year-old has now been speaking to the German media about his plans for next season, and while Vuskovic did not offer any guarantees, he admitted that he would love to spend more years at Hamburg.

When asked if he would like to extend his loan spell at the Bundesliga club for one more season or perhaps return to the club at the end of his career, Vuskovic told Hamburger Abendblatt (as relayed by Sport Witness): “Unfortunately, I can’t promise that, as I would like to end my career at Hajduk Split.

“That’s my hometown club; that’s where it all started. But of course, I would love to play for HSV for several more years. As I mentioned, I really hope so. That would be a dream come true.”

Can Vuskovic be a first-team option for Spurs next season?

Vuskovic has been among the best centre-backs on show in the Bundesliga this term, and the teenager has demonstrated that he may be ready to make the next step.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham have been closely monitoring Vuskovic’s development this season and they are delighted with the way he has progressed.

All signs thus indicate that the Croat could be set for a first-team role at Spurs next season.

A versatile Serie A youngster has caught the attention of Tottenham Hotspur ahead of the January transfer window.

Some sources have claimed that Spurs are looking to strengthen the left side of their defence in January, with the club wanting a top-class backup for Micky van de Ven.

It has been reported that Tottenham also want to add a left-back to their squad in light of Destiny Udogie’s recurring injury problems.

It has now emerged that the Lilywhites could look to hit two birds with one stone by signing a versatile teenager, who can play as a centre-back as well as a left-back.

Tottenham eyeing move for Atalanta youngster Honest Ahanor

According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham are one of the clubs that have been impressed by the performances of Honest Ahanor since he swapped Genoa for Atalanta in the summer.

The 17-year-old arrived at Bergamo in a £17.5m deal in the summer and has played at left-sided centre-back, left-back and at wing-back this season.

Scouts are flocking to see him this season, with Spurs’ representatives among those who have made trips to Italy to watch him in action.

The report says that Ahanor is very happy at Atalanta, but the club may sell the youngster if they have a chance to triple their money.

It is explained that Raffaele Palladino’s men will have a lot to think about if an offer of €60m (£52.6m) arrives for the versatile defender.

Spurs face competition from across Europe for Honest Ahanor

However, getting a deal done for the Nigeria international is easier said than done for Tottenham.

TEAMtalk reveal Chelsea are paying close attention to Ahanor and have followed his progress right since his time in Genoa’s youth system.

Man City, Man United and Newcastle United have also been impressed with the defender this season, while Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig are also watching him closely.

One source close to Atalanta is quoted as telling the publication about Ahanor: “Every top club in Europe is watching Honest, but in recent weeks Chelsea and City have been virtually ever-present. He is a huge talent.”

A midfielder Tottenham Hotspur have spoken to is ready for a transfer in January, but the Lilywhites face plenty of competition for his signature.

It has been widely reported that Thomas Frank wants Spurs to prioritise signing players with Premier League experience in January.

A 28-year-old, who has plenty of success in the English top-flight in the past, is thought to be among the names on the Lilywhites’ wishlist.

It emerged last month that Tottenham are keen on bringing Ruben Neves back to the Premier League, two and a half years after he swapped Wolves for Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal.

Al-Hilal are ready to sell Tottenham target Ruben Neves

A new report in TEAMtalk has now revealed that Al-Hilal have made up their mind to sell the experienced midfielder back to Europe in January.

Neves’ current deal at the club runs out in 2026, and the club have been unable to convince him to put pen to paper on a new contract.

January could thus be the final window where Al-Hilal can get a fee for him, and they have decided to cash in on the Portuguese star.

Neves’ camp have already spoken to a number of clubs back in Europe, including Tottenham Hotspur, about a January transfer.

Spurs will face plenty of competition for Neves’ signature

TEAMtalk make it clear that Thomas Frank’s men are long-time admirers of Neves, but they are not the only ones who have spoken to his representatives.

Manchester United and Newcastle United have also reached out to the former Wolves man about returning to England, while Nuno Espirito Santo is also looking to reunite with the player at West Ham.

Tottenham Hotspur are big admirers of a highly-rated young forward, but they may be pipped to the player’s signing by one of the biggest clubs in Europe.

It has been widely reported that Tottenham are looking to add a wide forward to their squad in January.

While big names like Antoine Semenyo and Iliman Ndiaye have been mooted as targets for Spurs, the Lilywhites are also thought to be big fans of a young Brazilian.

Over the past few months, it has been widely reported that Tottenham have been scouting Vasco Da Gama starlet Rayan, but the race for the 19-year-old’s signature just got a lot harder.

Real Madrid are ready to make an offer for Tottenham target Rayan

A report in O Dia (as relayed by Sport Witness) says that while Spurs are fans of the teenager, they now face competition from one of the biggest clubs in Europe.

Real Madrid are now tracking Rayan closely and are considering substantiating their interest in the teenager after Endrick’s loan move to Lyon.

The report says that Los Blancos could submit a €50m (£44m) offer for the youngster, although he is seen as a long-term prospect rather than someone who can improve their starting line-up immediately.

The outlet adds that there is a belief in the Spanish capital that Rayan can quickly adapt to the demands of European football.

Spurs officials are big fans of Rayan but competition is intensifying

Another report in NT Vascaínos (via Sport Witness) provides more information on Tottenham’s interest, saying that assistant coach Matt Wells and scout Alex Fraser reviewed footage of Rayan’s recent match against Fluminense.

Both Wells and Fraser were very impressed with the forward’s display, but the North London club are yet to make an approach for the player.

Vasco are expecting more offers to arrive for Rayan over the coming weeks, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Barcelona and Inter Milan also named as interested parties.

Tottenham Hotspur will attempt to snatch three points from Liverpool in the Premier League, but their squad is looking a bit depleted.

Tottenham Hotspur looked to be back on track after a draw away to Newcastle was followed by two consecutive victories.

However, Spurs dropped a contender for their worst performance of the season last Sunday, conceding three goals against 16th-place Nottingham Forest.

This Saturday, Tottenham will be eyeing a return to winning ways, but there is little to be optimistic about when it comes to player availability.

Tottenham will face Liverpool without eight players

According to Football London, eight Spurs players are currently unavailable to face Liverpool on Saturday, with two new absences since the Forest defeat.

Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma will miss the game against Liverpool after joining up with the respective national teams to compete at AFCON.

The remaining six are players who continue to be out with injuries, all of which have been long-term spells on the sidelines, except for Destiny Udogie.

Spurs should not be affected by their unavailable players

Bissouma has not played a single minute of football for Tottenham this season, and Sarr’s minutes have been limited in recent weeks. Other than that, there are no new absentees.

Liverpool themselves have seven players unavailable, and so neither team is really any better off than the other in that department. The upcoming meeting between the two clubs will certainly be lacking some of its usual quality.

Thomas Frank has now offered a brief update regarding the injury of Tottenham Hotspur forward Dominic Solanke.

Given the length of Dominic Solanke’s absence, some Tottenham Hotspur supporters might well have forgotten that the striker remains at the club.

The Englishman has had to deal with a persistent injury issue stemming from pre-season, and what was once flagged as a minor setback has kept him sidelined for four months.

However, Solanke recently posted a cryptic image of himself in a Spurs shirt accompanied by an hourglass emoji, but a return to action has not yet materialised.

Thomas Frank has often reiterated that he will provide a detailed update on the forward’s fitness once he is close to a return, but that has done little to prevent questions about the £65m signing from being raised in press conferences.

Ahead of the Premier League encounter with Liverpool, the manager offered a rather blunt response when pressed on Solanke’s current status.

Speaking to the official Tottenham channel regarding the progress of the striker, Frank simply said: “He is progressing forward.”

Spurs are in the market for a new forward

The manager’s response is so vague that it offers little clarity, yet Spurs have had to cope in the absence of Solanke, with Richarlison and Randal Kolo Muani tasked with leading the line.

Richarlison has stepped up to the best of his ability, scoring six goals in the league while grabbing two assists in 16 appearances, which represents the highest goal contribution from any Tottenham player this term.

James Maddison has opened up on his struggles after finding out he would miss almost every game in Tottenham’s 2025/26 season.

The Tottenham attacking midfielder ruptured his ACL during Spurs’ pre-season game in South Korea against Newcastle, which proved to be Heung-min Son’s farewell game.

Maddison was in tears as he was stretchered off the pitch, which suggested that he immediately knew that it was an ACL injury.

It was reported soon after the injury that the Tottenham midfielder is unlikely to play again this season, and the 29-year-old has now confessed that his fate was hard for him to accept.

James Maddison admits he struggled mentally after the Tottenham injury

The former Leicester man is now in his prime years as a footballer, and he admits that it was not easy to have one year completely taken away from him.

Maddison has shed light on how lost he felt for a few days as a result of not being able to do the one thing he has dedicated his life to: playing football.

Speaking to ITV News, the Tottenham star said about his injury: It’s taking away the thing that you love, the thing that drives you. I was put on this earth to play football.

“You do feel a bit lost, and a bit stuck… it definitely takes its toll, there’s some dark time. I’ve had some days where I haven’t wanted to get out of bed, but the drive and the motivation of seeing myself back playing make me get up and get after it.”

Maddison also suggested that more footballers should not shy away from talking about their mental struggles, which can be extreme since they are always in the limelight.

He pointed out that opening up about the mental challenges is the first step to getting the help necessary for the players to overcome them.

When asked if top players talked enough about mental health, Maddison responded: “Probably not. It’s difficult for footballers, especially these days. You’re judged on everything. If you talk too much, you get told off for that; if you don’t talk enough, you’re told you should talk more.

“People are talking more… We’ve got to do more of that, it’s okay to talk, it’s okay to be vulnerable, it’s okay to be in a bad place. Talking normally ends up in help, whether you need a lot of help or someone to give you a kick up the backside.”

Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt a significant blow in their pursuit of a primary transfer target, with reports suggesting the club has pulled the plug on a potential January deal.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Tottenham Hotspur were stepping up their pursuit of Antoine Semenyo, with the club said to be making an aggressive push for the Bournemouth star.

However, it was also made clear that the winger will have the final say on his future destination, given the plethora of options at his disposal.

Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool are also reported to all be firmly in the race for Semenyo when his reported £65m release clause becomes active in January.

Tottenham end Antoine Semenyo pursuit ahead of winter window

Tottenham supporters have recently expressed doubt regarding their club’s ability to land Semenyo ahead of the other sides currently sitting at the top of the table.

The Ghanaian winger has hit double figures for goals and assists this season in the Premier League and would greatly improve the forward line of any top-flight side.

Fabrizio Romano has now provided a definitive update on the pursuit ahead of the winter window, stating that Tottenham are no longer advancing for Semenyo as of today.

Savinho could re-emerge as an option for Spurs

This development leaves the race open for Manchester City, Manchester United, or Liverpool and comes as a shock following reports earlier today that claimed that Spurs fancied their chances of landing Semenyo in the winter window.

Tottenham will now have to turn their attention to alternatives if they look to strengthen their wide areas this winter.

Tthe club had been linked with a move for Savinho last summer, but a determined City refused to let the Brazil international depart the Etihad Stadium.

If Pep Guardiola’s side is looking to strengthen their own wide areas with Semenyo, perhaps it could open up an opportunity for Tottenham to finally snap up Savinho.

Thomas Frank has issued a staunch defence of his Tottenham Hotspur players, Archie Gray and Guglielmo Vicario, following the individual errors that cost Spurs dear against Nottingham Forest.

Thomas Frank is not one to shy away from making changes to his squad ahead of matches, as has been evident so far during his tenure in north London.

The manager’s starting lineups are notoriously difficult to predict as he often mixes things up and looks to keep things fresh within the side.

However, in the last three games, one man has remained a constant figure, and that is Archie Gray, who has maintained a role as one of the pivots in the Tottenham midfield.

Thomas Frank backs Archie Grey’s mentality in a Tottenham shirt

Gray’s outing last time out did not go according to plan, as the teenager’s first-half error proved costly against Nottingham Forest, leading directly to the first of their three goals.

Frank has now addressed the midfielder’s mistake from last weekend, handing out praise to the youngster for his reaction to the setback during his pre-match press conference.

“He has been good,” the Spurs boss told the official Tottenham channel. “He wanted the ball back instantly after the mistake. I like that mentality. Everyone who has played football at this level has made a mistake.”

Frank clarifies Guglielmo Vicario’s role in howler filled Forest display

It remains to be seen if the midfielder will keep his spot in the starting XI against Liverpool, although we have predicted the return of the double pivot of Joao Palhinha and Rodrigo Bentancur against the Reds.

Frank also spoke up about Guglielmo Vicario, who has looked shaky at times this season. The Italian was the one who played the pass to Gray at the weekend, which invited pressure on the midfielder.

Last weekend was not the only time when Vicario’s passing has led directly to a goal, as his poor clearance against Fulham a few weeks ago proved costly.

Speaking on the Italian’s errors of late, Frank explained: “It is two completely different situations, one is a missed clearance which happens, the other one is more on Archie, he knows it is one-touch bounce.

“It is a situation we have seen a thousand times in England and across Europe.”
