Mario Vuskovic has revealed his brother, Tottenham defender Luka Vuskovic, "wouldn't say no" to a loan move to German side Hamburger SV. The Croatian youngster will meet his new Spurs teammates for the first time very soon as the players return for pre-season training at their Hotspur Way base.

Tottenham confirmed a deal for the highly-rated centre-back from Hajduk Split in September 2023 but it was always going to be ahead of the 2025/26 season when he would finally make the move to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as he was 16 years of age at the time. The 18-year-old has since spent time on loan at Polish side Radomiak Radom and Belgium outfit Westerlo over the past two seasons, notably making a huge impression at both clubs.

It is not yet clear how much of a part Vuskovic will play for Thomas Frank this season as at present he has a number of players ahead of him in the centre-back pecking order. The new Tottenham boss may want to keep him as part of his plans as they battle on four fronts but, of course, there is also the chance that he could depart on loan to gain some more first-team experience.

As his brother Mario is currently on Hamburg's books but unable to play at present due to a doping ban, Tottenham youngster Vuskovic has naturally been linked with a temporary switch to the Bundesliga club. Speaking in an interview with German publication Hamburger Abendblatt (via Sport Witness), his older brother was asked about the prospect of the teenager heading to Hamburg on loan.

“Luka loves HSV simply because the club and the fans always support me," he revealed. “When he witnessed the promotion party at the Volksparkstadion, he was impressed by how big the club is and how incredible the fans are.

"He would love to play for HSV and wouldn’t say no to an offer. In the end, however, Tottenham will decide what is best for his development.”

Vuskovic was in attendance when Hamburg finally won promotion back to the Bundesliga in May following a seven-year absence. The starlet joined his brother and family on the pitch as they celebrated a historic night for the football club.

"When the final whistle blew, my father, my brother, and I immediately went on the pitch," explained his sibiling. "The pitch was already packed with happy fans.

“The whole evening was a crazy experience. We went to the Nikki Tiger (a Hamburg nightclub) with the team, and I was back at the hotel by 5am. I’ll never forget the feelings from that night. It was truly perfect.”

It has been a rather quiet start to the summer transfer window at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ahead of the 2025/26 season. At a time when clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea are spending heavily in the transfer market, Spurs have made a notable change in the managerial department after replacing Ange Postecoglou with Thomas Frank.

The north London club have made moves on the transfer front, though, after signing Mathys Tel on a permanent deal and agreeing a deal for Japanese defender Kota Takai with J1 League club Kawasaki Frontale. A lot more still needs to be done, including bringing in a new No.6 and adding to their attack.

Players such as Bryan Mbeumo and Eberechi Eze have been linked with moves to north London but Tottenham may well be set to miss out on their signatures. So what exactly could Tottenham's dream attack look like come the end of the transfer window when you take into account potential incomings and outgoings? football.london takes a look below.

Incomings

Tottenham have already strengthened their attack with the permanent addition of Tel from Bayern Munich. West Ham ace Mohammed Kudus could potentially be the next to follow as he has been heavily tipped in recent days to move across the capital.

The Ghana international is one of many players of interest to Tottenham as they look to upgrade their attack for the new season. Kudus would certainly give Frank options across his frontline as he can play on either flank, as an attacking midfielder, behind the striker or as a centre-forward.

Outgoings

There are big question marks hanging over Son Heung-min's head right now. football.london reported last month that the captain is more open to leaving Spurs than he ever has been before.

Having finally got his hands on a trophy at Tottenham after ten years of service it may well be the perfect time for both parties to go their separate ways. Richarlison is also in the headlines this summer regarding a transfer away after his injury struggles over the past three seasons.

His future may all depend on potential offers coming in and whether Frank wants to keep him as part of his squad. Richarlison showed in the Europa League final just how important he can be but it all comes down to keeping him fit.

A number of other outgoings could also take place, including the permanent exits of Alejo Veliz and Bryan Gil. Manor Solomon could also be in contention to depart for good after such a successful loan spell at Leeds United if he is not to be part of Frank's thinking for the new season.

In terms of players heading out on loan to gain more first-team experience, Yang Min-hyeok and Will Lankshear may leave again after joining West Brom and QPR respectively for the second half of last season. Mikey Moore could even be in contention for a loan move as he would benefit from regular first-team football after his recent breakthrough.

What Tottenham's attack could look like

Tottenham need to ensure they are well stocked in the final third as they compete on four fronts in the 2025/26 season. In terms of strikers, they have Dominic Solanke to lead the line and Richarlison and Dane Scarlett to provide cover for the England international. Tel and Kudus are other possibilities there if required.

On the right flank, Kudus could join Brennan Johnson and Wilson Odobert as the options. Dejan Kulusevski falls into that category and also the No.10 role as Frank may deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation like he did at Brentford last season.

James Maddison can flourish at No.10, Odobert can also play there if needed and so can Jamie Donley if he is to stay. Given the possibility of a Son exit, Tel could be leading the way to start from the left flank on a regular basis.

Solomon may be one to consider if he can take his outstanding Leeds form into the new season. Moore is a left winger by trade and could get more opportunities in his preferred role if he plays, with Kudus also more than capable of playing from that side of the pitch.

Tottenham's dream attacking options:

Right-wing: Kudus, Johnson, Odobert.

No.10s: Kulusevski, Maddison, Donley.

Left-wing: Tel, Solomon, Moore.

Striker: Solanke, Richarlison, Scarlett.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison has shared the lifelong reminder he has of the club’s success in the Europa League last season.

Amid a campaign that was largely one to forget, given the clubs league form, Spurs ended their long wait for silverware. Brennan Johnson’s goal just before half time against Manchester United in the Europa League final saw them lift the trophy.

The victory also earned them a place in the Champions League for the new season. They will now be led in the competition by new head coach Thomas Frank.

The former Brentford man replaced Ange Postecoglou in the hot seat last month. The former manager did, however, keep his promise of winning trophies in his second season with the Europa League victory.

Following the end of the season, the club's players have been away on their holidays as they recover ahead of the new campaign.

The first group of Tottenham players are expected back at the training ground at the back end of the first week of July.

Maddison has, however, already been back as he undergoes rehabilitation from the injury that kept him out of the final weeks of the season, including the Europa League final.

The 28-year-old has now shared some images from his summer break on social media with a caption reading “away from the pitch.” They include images of him on holiday with family and friends, including former City team-mates Harry Maguire and Jamie Vardy.

In some of the pictures Maddison is wearing a retro Spurs shirt with “Modric 14” on the back. It’s not the first time he’s shared a picture of him wearing retro shirts, with earlier posts on his account showing the same.

The final picture shows him having a tattoo done on his left calf. The tattoo is of the Europa League trophy, with “Champions 25” written underneath, his story also shares a post from the tattoo artist who Maddison has gifted a Spurs shirt to.

The latest tattoo adds to a collection that Maddison has. His right calf has an image commemorating the FA Cup he lifted with Leicester City in 2021. It has an image of Maddison next to the FA Cup facing Wembley, with a caption underneath reading “Dreams really do come true.”

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has stated he is "extremely proud" the Bill Nicholson gates will be returning to N17 this summer. A key feature of Tottenham's former White Hart Lane home, the iconic gates were removed in August 2015 in order to carefully store and preserve them to avoid any damage during the new stadium construction.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium opened its doors for the first time in 2019 but the gates never returned, thus leading to plenty of questions from fans over when they would be proudly on show once again. In the minutes from the club's Fan Advisory Board (FAB) meeting that was held in June, the club confirmed that the gates would be "reinstated within the stadium environs this summer" and further information would be communicated to supporters in due course.

Tottenham have since released an update on Wednesday afternoon to confirm the exact location of the gates after taking their time to find the most appropriate location for them. Having worked in close consultation with the FAB, the gates will be located within PAXTON17, between the ticket office and historic buildings at the north of the stadium.

Enabling works have now commenced with a view to the gates being in position ahead of Tottenham's first Premier League game of the 2025/26 season against Burnley on Saturday, August 16. Following the big news from the club, chairman Levy issued a statement and believes they have "found a fitting solution" for such a key part of their history.

“The Bill Nicholson gates are such a significant part of our club’s heritage and I am extremely proud they will be returning home this summer," he said in a statement released on Tottenham's official website.

“We were never going to rush into a decision as to where they should be reinstated, given the huge amount of works that have taken place in the area over recent years.

“We have undertaken a carefully-planned process, working with our architects, construction partners and Fan Advisory Board, and I believe we have found a fitting solution.

“We look forward to welcoming fans back to the stadium for the coming season - as well as Bill’s family members and former players - to see the gates and feel that close connection between our club and its rich history.”

The iconic Bill Nicholson gates are set to make a return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium complex this summer. A key feature at the entrance of the club's former White Hart Lane Stadium prior to Spurs moving into their current home back in 2019, supporters have been desperate to see the gates, which are forever linked with Tottenham legend Nicholson and the famous photograph in the 1960s, reinstalled.

Fans will not have much longer to wait to see them take their place outside the stadium once again following an update from the club's Fan Advisory Board (FAB) meeting that was held on Tuesday, June 24. A meeting that was attended by club representatives, including new chief executive officer Vinai Venkatesham, Tottenham have now provided an update following the release of the minutes from the meeting.

The minutes state that "the club confirmed that the Bill Nicholson Gates will be reinstated within the stadium environs this summer (2025) with further details to be communicated to supporters in the coming weeks". As part of the stadium build which began ten years ago, Tottenham confirmed in August 2015 that the gates had been removed and would be carefully stored in order to preserve them to avoid any damage during the stadium construction.

Another key point from the meeting is that the club and FAB are working together to create a revamped Tottenham Hotspur Hall of Fame. This is following a meeting between the club and supporter representatives.

Tottenham will also continue working with supporters' groups on atmosphere initiatives and to build upon the success of collaborations last season – including the matchday displays at home, at European away games and in Bilbao.

The meeting also saw Venkatesham provide everyone with an overview of his role, why he decided to join the club and also explain the recent changes in the football department and the thorough recruitment process when it came to appointing Thomas Frank in place of Ange Postecoglou as head coach. The new CEO wants to make supporters proud and he has a desire to create more memorable nights like Bilbao and to compete for trophies consistently.

Venkatesham, who will continue to attend all future FAB meetings, wants to operate on the basis of openness and transparency and he stated that the wider fanbase will continue to hear from the board and senior staff at points throughout the year.

Cristian Romero enjoyed himself during the celebrations and parade after Tottenham's Europa League victory and one new moment of great balance has come to light.

The 27-year-old is currently in the news amid Atletico Madrid's desire to take him away from N17 to play in La Liga. football.london recently shot down reports from Argentina that Spurs had agreed a fee with the Spanish side for Romero's departure and the north London club would be looking for a sum worthy of one of the best defenders in the game to even consider a sale.

The World Cup winner, who has two years left on his contract at Tottenham, was named player of the tournament in the Europa League and was handed the man of the match award for his display in the final against Manchester United in Bilbao.

Romero enjoyed the celebrations after the victory in Spain, both on the pitch and later off of it back at the team hotel long into the early hours. The Argentina international was also one to watch during the trophy parade through the streets of Tottenham two days later on an open-top bus and then on a stage outside the stadium.

Now Spurs have released a moment that some might have missed from the parade. On Instagram, with a caption stating 'Main story vs close friends (probably)', the club have released various traditional cup celebration images along with more relaxed moments, let's say, of the players, such as Brennan Johnson being led away by security after constantly trying to evade them on the stage outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Romero's 'main story' image is one of him and Rodrigo Bentancur with their arms aloft on the bus. His more relaxed moment showed the Argentine wearing his shades with a pint of something in his hand at the back of the bus. Ever the centre-back, the medal-wearing Romero sees a football booted high in the air from the crowd and he steps up on to the back rail of the bus and heads it perfectly into the road, much to the delight of Pape Matar Sarr and Rodrigo Bentancur before the defender celebrated the clearance.

Sarr appeared to be entirely unaware that he would have been smacked in the face by the ball had his vice-captain not stepped in to save him. Spurs staff though might not have been too delighted about Romero leaning over the back of a moving bus to head the ball, but he got away with what ended up being a hilarious moment, showing great balance with a pint in hand.

At a time when Arsenal and Chelsea are happy to do transfer business together, the same cannot be said about Tottenham and their London rivals. Spurs just don't deal with Arsenal, Chelsea or West Ham when it comes to moves in the transfer market.

You have to go back to 2011 for the last time Tottenham and West Ham came to a transfer agreement as Scott Parker made the switch across London to N17. There is the possibility that Spurs could break their transfer rule by completing a deal for Hammers star Mohammed Kudus this summer.

The Ghana international has been linked with a transfer to Tottenham and he is one of many players of interest to the club when it comes to them improving their playing squad. Kudus would certainly give Thomas Frank options in the final third as he can play on either wing, as an attacking midfielder, behind the striker or as a centre forward.

The ex-Ajax man has an £85million release clause in his contract that is said to run for the first 10 days of July, although Tottenham may be able to complete a deal for well below the aforementioned figure. Making an instant impression in his first season in the Premier League with 14 goals and nine assists for David Moyes, his numbers dried up last term as West Ham had a year to forget.

Kudus could only manage five goals and four assists in his 35 appearances in all competitions as he failed to reach the heights of the previous year. A player blessed with pace and someone who is a good dribbler of the ball and can make things happen, Frank could potentially take him to another level and get more consistency into his game if he has the opportunity to work with him.

If he is to join Tottenham then Kudus would undoubtedly like to wear his preferred shirt number at the club. The Ghanaian currently wears No.14 for West Ham but that may have something to do with the fact that Jarrod Bowen is in possession of the No.20 shirt.

Following his move to Ajax in 2020, Kudus took on No.20 and he has regularly donned the number on the international stage for Ghana. The versatile attacker did switch to No.10 briefly before reverting back to No.20.

The shirt number has in fact just become vacant at Tottenham following Fraser Forster's departure at the end of his Tottenham contract. Given Kudus' history of wearing the number throughout his playing career, it could be the perfect welcome gift for him at Tottenham if he does swap Stratford for Spurs.

The No.3, 16 and 41 shirts have also just become available after Sergio Reguilon, Timo Werner and Alfie Whiteman departed the club following the conclusion of their contracts at the end of June.

Tottenham Hotspur have suffered a second blow as one alternative to Bryan Mbeumo - Antoine Semenyo - has agreed a new contract with AFC Bournemouth.

Spurs entered the race to sign Brentford's talisman last month after appointing Thomas Frank as their new head coach. It's understood the Dane informed Daniel Levy that Mbeumo should be made a priority signing.

However, the north London club were quickly informed that the Cameroon regular only has eyes for Manchester United and since then, their interest in Mbeumo has faded. With a move for the Brentford winger now scuppered, Tottenham had turned their attention to alternatives.

Semenyo was listed as one option for Tottenham with Sky Sports News reporting that they had stepped up their interest back in June. But, that deal looks to be dead in the water after the Cherries confirmed the 25-year-old has signed a new five-year contract with the south coast club.

Speaking following his new deal, Semenyo said: "I've grown so much at the club, both on and off the pitch, and I'm really happy to have signed ahead of returning for pre-season. From the fans to the staff and my teammates, I can't speak highly enough of the people around the club.

"It's a great place to be and I'm excited to get back to Bournemouth to continue the hard work with the new season just around the corner." Spurs now find themselves at square one yet again as they look to add to their attacking midfield.

It is highly unlikely that Tottenham will make a summer transfer move to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, football.london understands.

Spurs have been long-term admirers of the versatile forward and the England international, who turned 27 on Saturday, has been high up the list of names linked with a summer transfer window move to north London.

Eze was linked with a move to N17 last summer with football.london reporting he was a priority target for then boss Ange Postecoglou.

However, with Michael Olise making the move from Selhurst Park to Bayern Munich, Palace were reluctant to let their two stars leave in the same window and a deal could not be done.

Eze enjoyed another fine season with the Eagles, scoring 14 goals and laying on 11 assists in 43 games, averaging a goal involvement more than every other game.

But Spurs are unlikely to make a move this summer, with north London rivals Arsenal now well placed to sign the 27-year-old this summer. The Gunners are considering making a move to sign Eze, although no official approach as gone in yet.

Eze is understood to have a release clause of around £67.5million, with reports claiming that Palace would be willing to accept the fee in instalments.

Mohammed Kudus has emerged as a potential alternative signing for Spurs, although he is likely to cost a similar amount, with Spurs having to break a 14-year transfer rule to do business with fierce rivals West Ham United. Scott Parker was the last player to make the move from east to north London in 2011.

Spurs have been very quiet in the transfer window thus far, with only Mathys Tel signing a permanent deal after a successful loan spell last season and defender Kota Takai signing in a £5million deal from J.League side Kawasaki Frontale.

Tottenham can now begin formally pursuing some of their marquee transfer targets in this summer's window. Mathys Tel became the first signing of the Thomas Frank era in mid-June, but he remains as the only permanent arrival in north London thus far.

Despite that being an addition to their frontline, the majority of Spurs' efforts have been on attackers. Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo, who developed into a Premier League goal-scorer under Frank, unsurprisingly became a target.

However, his preference remained Manchester United with the two parties edging closer to reaching an agreement despite the fact their latest bid, totalling £62.5million, was turned down.

Eberechi Eze of Crystal Palace has also been linked but it now looks as though the Lilywhites have backed away from that deal with West Ham's Mohammed Kudus as the focus.

It is now being widely-reported that talks between his camp and Tottenham have started with the player open to joining. He has an £85m release clause but the Hammers may be willing to accept £65m due to their profit and sustainability concerns.

Those will have somewhat alleviated with the new financial year in play now that July has arrived but that could also be what helps Spurs.

With minimal worries now present over posting losses, Tottenham can afford to sanction some big-money moves and Kudus can be one of those. As things stand, he is the only big name being strongly linked but Xavi Simons is another player that could soon become a serious option.

The RB Leipzig star is expected to depart Germany permanently this summer with the Premier League seen as an attractive proposition. £67million (€80m) has been set as his asking price with Tottenham possibly needing at least one sale to pursue that deal.

Elsewhere, a £5m deal for Japanese centre-back Kota Takai has already been agreed with the plan being for him to be part of the first-team squad. Signing a defensive midfielder is another priority but there is currently no standout option after Johnny Cardoso chose to join Atletico Madrid while Arsenal agreed to sign Christian Norgaard

Bayern Munich and former Fulham man Joao Palhinha could be perfect for the role, and possibly available at just £25.8million (€30m), in a midfield three likely alongside Lucas Bergvall and one of James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski or hopefully Simons.
