To The Lane And Back

Tottenham are planning to cash in on Son Heung-min before big-money squad overhaul

It looks like Son Heung-min has played his final game in Tottenham Hotspur colours.

The South Korean forward has been a mainstay for Spurs since from Bayer Leverkusen back in the summer of 2015. He has managed to maintain huge levels consistency in the Premier League for year after year until this past season, where the 32-year-old’s form showed signs of decline.

The Tottenham skipper also suffered some injury problems that hampered his rhythm, and while he recovered ahead of the Europa League final, Ange Postecoglou named him on the bench. Lifting the Europa League could now prove to be his final action for Spurs, as Daniel Levy has already kicked off his summer transfer plans.

According to an exclusive report from The Telegraph, Son could depart the North Londoners this summer as the club looks to bolster their summer transfer budget and fund a squad overhaul. Clubs from Saudi Pro League are interested in a deal for veteran forward.

Recent reports suggested that the Saudi Arabian clubs had revived their interest in the Tottenham skipper. The cash-rich Saudi Pro League chiefs view him as a bankable world star that could boost the league’s growth in Asia and beyond. There is now an opportunity for the Lilywhites to generate a fee for Son, whose contract expires in 2026 (Transfermarkt) after the club had triggered a one-year extension in January.

Arguably the best Spurs signing of the modern era, the South Korean international has become one of the biggest names in the Premier League. He has achieved a legendary status at White Hart Lane, playing 454 games across 10 seasons and scoring 173 goals. The forward has been the club’s captain since 2023 after the departure of his one-time strike partner Harry Kane to Bayern Munich.

It has felt at times that the South Asian ace had reached the end of his time at N17 after a frustrating previous campaign, even though he delivered 20+ goal contributions. With Son set to turn 33 in July and the club expected to compound on their policy of investing in young, exciting talent with high potential this summer, the time is indeed right for Tottenham to part ways with our skipper.

All in all, if he is sold this summer, Son will leave as one of the great Spurs players of the last two decades. The No.7’s future may be on hold for now, though, as the club are yet to make a decision on coach Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham planning to propose another loan deal for Mathys Tel with high loan fee and buy obligation

Tottenham Hotspur have a decision to make on Ange Postecoglou and several players of their squad, which is now uncertain.

The Lilywhites did the unthinkable under Ange Postecoglou and won the Europa League trophy in Bilbao in May. Despite becoming the first manager to lead the club to silverware after 17 years, Postecoglou is unlikely to continue the project at N17.

Now, with Spurs looking ahead to a summer of change, a decision needs to be made on Mathys Tel as well.

The North Londoners signed Mathys Tel on loan from Bayern Munich during the winter transfer window deadline day, with a €60m buy option included in the transfer agreement. The forward struggled for game time in the first half of the season at Bayern Munich, making only a handful of appearances in the Bundesliga.

However, since his move to White Hart Lane, the youngster enjoyed more game time and became a Europa League winner. The forward played 20 times for Tottenham, netting three goals and an assist in the process.

Now, the Frenchman could make his stay with Tottenham permanent, as Daniel Levy looks to strengthen the squad for the 2025/26 season. However, the chief decision-makers at N17 are not ready to pay €60m to sign Tel on a permanent deal from Bayern. They are looking to renegotiate terms with the German champions as Spurs feel they can get his signature at a lower fee.

Tel is not expected to be a part of Vincent Kompany’s Bayern squad for the Club World Cup and instead will be part of the France U21 squad for the upcoming games. Now, a new update on his future and Spurs’ efforts to sign him has been delivered.

According to a report from Sky Deutschland, Tottenham are considering extending the French forward’s loan for one more season with a high loan fee and an obligation to buy. Bayern sporting director Max Eberl continues to hold ‘intensive talks’ with the Premier League side for Tel. There is no mention of any figures yet.

Tel doesn’t appear to feature in Vincent Kompany’s plans at the Allianz Arena, so the Bundesliga giants have to make a prominent decision on the youngster’s future quickly. While the Sarcelles-born talent struggled to post consistent numbers during the past few months in a Spurs shirt, he showed great promise for the future. This has also led to Ange Postecoglou advising the club to retain the pacey winger’s services.

Tottenham table offer for Angel Gomes as midfielder prepares to leave Lille on a free transfer

With the season now complete, Tottenham are shifting their focus to pre-season friendlies and the highly anticipated UEFA Super Cup clash against European giants Paris Saint-Germain. To compete at that level, the Lilywhites know significant reinforcements are needed. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Tottenham are confident of securing the signing of out-of-contract England international Angel Gomes this summer.

The former Manchester United midfielder, is set to depart from France when his contract runs out next month and Tottenham is currently in the lead to secure his services, on a bosman transfer. Speaking for Football Transfers, Journalist Ben Jacobs has said that Tottenham feels confident in recent days and thinks it could be close to an acceptance on their contract offer. Gomes has been on the radar of other clubs, West Ham and Marseille particularly interested in the talented midfielder.

The Midfielder looks set for a move abroad

Angel Gomes has been described as a ‘phenomenal’ talent, and made his move to Lille from Manchester United back in 2020. Gomes made 134 appearances in five seasons at Lille, scoring 10 goals and registering 19 assists.

The 24 year old has found himself out of the Lille starting XI on a regular basis this season, only starting 10 Ligue 1 matches and three in the Champions League. Journalist Ben Jacobs revealed on Last Word on Spurs that ‘Tottenham have made a contract offer for Gomes and in the last 48-72 hours, have grown increasingly confident that their offer will be accepted.’

The Journo speaking on Last Word On Spurs, believes the deal could be confirmed very soon

“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.”

Tottenham should finalize Ange Postecoglou’s future before confirming any new transfers, with uncertainty apparently still hovering over whether the Australian will be in charge next season. Fabrizio Romano reports that the club is weighing up their options internally, and that a decision will be announced “very soon.” With that Europa League victory adding to both morale and cash reserves, the club is now poised to embark on a summer shake-up to enhance an ailing squad for next season’s challenges.

Tottenham Hotspur backed to retain the services of Cristian Romero

Tottenham are riding a wave of optimism following their Europa League triumph, their first trophy in 17 years, despite an otherwise inconsistent domestic campaign. As the club gears up for a major summer overhaul, multiple departures are expected, and key decisions will need to be made.

In the coming weeks, Ange Postecoglou’s future, recruitment strategy, and evaluations of current squad members will be central to Tottenham’s planning. Among those under scrutiny is Cristian Romero, widely regarded as the club’s most vital defender. His future now appears uncertain, a development Daniel Levy had hoped to avoid this summer.

Romero has quickly established himself as a fan favourite since joining Tottenham in 2021. The Argentine centre-back was recently named Player of the Match in Spurs’ UEFA Europa League final victory, capping off another influential campaign at the heart of their defence. Despite his consistently strong performances and a standout first season in English football, questions had begun to surface over his future amid reported interest from Atletico Madrid.

With Tottenham preparing for a significant summer rebuild, the club hopes to use their recent Europa League success as a launchpad for greater ambitions in both domestic and European competitions. However, the uncertainty surrounding Romero’s future appears to have taken a notable turn. According to Tottenham News, John Wenham has suggested that Daniel Levy may now feel less anxious about Romero potentially departing for Atletico Madrid.

“However, reports in Spain also suggest Atletico baulked at Spurs’ valuation of Romero, and it has been suggested that while contract talks aren’t imminent, Levy will do what he can to keep the defender.

“Therefore, I think since the Europa League win, there has been a change from Romero’s departure being seen as inevitable, to now there being a real prospect of him remaining at Tottenham.

“I certainly think it is far more likely that Romero stays now. I just don’t see Atletico reaching a valuation which I think is perfectly reasonable for a player who put in a phenomenal performance in the Europa League final.”

Wenham noted that while formal contract negotiations have yet to begin, Daniel Levy is expected to do everything within his power to keep Cristian Romero at the club. Since Tottenham’s Europa League triumph, the perception of Romero’s potential exit has shifted from an outcome that once seemed inevitable to a growing belief that he may well stay.

He believes it is now far more likely the Argentine defender remains at Spurs, especially after his standout performance in the final and the club’s unwavering stance on his valuation.

Tottenham Hotspur are set to go through a key summer of overhaul

Following their Europa League triumph, Tottenham have wasted no time initiating a major summer overhaul. Significant changes are already underway across various levels of the club, with several board and staff members set to either take on new roles or depart entirely. In a particularly notable development, one of Daniel Levy’s closest assistants has recently stepped down, a move considered a significant shift in the club’s internal hierarchy.

Further changes are expected in multiple areas, including a restructuring of the medical and sports science departments, as Spurs look to modernise and align every aspect of the organisation with their renewed ambitions.

According to Football.london, a major shake-up is now underway at Tottenham, marked by the departure of executive director Donna-Maria Cullen. A long-standing and influential figure at the club, Cullen had been one of Daniel Levy’s most trusted confidantes throughout his nearly 25-year tenure as chairman. Having been with Spurs since 1992, her exit signals a significant change in the club’s leadership structure.

Cullen officially stepped down from her role on Saturday and will spend the coming months transitioning her responsibilities to other members of the organisation. With her departure, only Matthew Collecott, operations and finance directorand Rebecca Caplehorn, director of football administration and governance remain as Levy’s longest-serving board members.

Major changes are imminent at the White Hart Lane

Further changes are expected across several departments at Tottenham, with the medical and sports science teams set for a significant overhaul. However, the most notable development this week is the appointment of Vinai Venkatesham as the club’s new CEO. Highly regarded for his work at Arsenal, Venkatesham has been brought in to guide Tottenham into a new era, one that prioritises greater transparency and communication with fans, something supporters have long called for.

As previously reported by Football.london, many within the club also believe that former managing director of football Fabio Paratici is likely to return in some capacity. Due to his involvement in an ongoing civil trial related to his time at Juventus, it is expected that any initial return would be in a consulting role rather than a formal executive position.

With sweeping reforms already underway at Tottenham, Daniel Levy faces a pivotal decision: whether to include head coach Ange Postecoglou in the club’s long-term vision. The Australian broke Spurs’ 17-year trophy drought with their Europa League triumph, but questions remain about whether he will be the man to lead them into a new era.

Tottenham willing to outbid Arsenal for Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sané

Tottenham capped off their season on a high with a Europa League triumph, securing not only silverware but also a significant financial boost to support their ambitious summer overhaul. As the transfer window approaches, Spurs are preparing to go head-to-head with North London rivals Arsenal for one of the most sought-after soon-to-be free agents.

Arsenal, under the guidance of their new sporting director Andrea Berta, are actively looking to strengthen their frontline, targeting both a striker and a winger to bolster their attacking options.

Tottenham Hotspur are targeting the same attacking reinforcements as Arsenal and have made one of those players a top priority. The Lilywhites haven’t just entered the race, they’ve taken the lead by putting forward the most lucrative offer. According to Sky Sport, Tottenham now hold pole position in the pursuit of Bayern Munich forward Leroy Sané, who is set to become a free agent this summer.

Leroy Sane falling out of favor at the Allianz

Sky Sports now reports that Tottenham are leading the race to sign Bayern Munich forward Leroy Sané on a free transfer. While Arsenal have informed Sané’s agent, Pini Zahavi, of their interest, Zahavi has secured a far more lucrative offer from Spurs.

Following their return to the Champions League, Tottenham are pushing to secure the high-profile signing of the 29-year-old. Sané’s contract with Bayern expires at the end of this month, and after registering 19 goal contributions in 45 appearances this season, he looks increasingly likely to join Tottenham. The North London club have offered him a deal running until 2029.

Bayern Munich are still battling to retain Leroy Sané and have not given up hope of securing a contract extension. However, as things stand, the winger appears to be edging closer to a move to the Premier League. One major advantage working in Tottenham’s favour is their offer of a guaranteed starting role on the right wing, an assurance that neither Bayern nor Arsenal are likely to provide. That promise of consistent playing time could prove decisive in swaying Sané’s decision.

Leroy Sané could prove to be a hugely valuable addition for Tottenham, not just for his individual quality, but also for his versatility across the front line. Last season at Bayern, the former Manchester City star featured effectively on both flanks, making 20 appearances on the left wing and 25 on the right.

His pace, creativity, and wealth of experience in both the Premier League and the Champions League make him an ideal “off-the-shelf” solution for Spurs, ready to contribute immediately at the highest level.

Podcast owner tips Son Heung-min’s exit could have a knock-on effect on the futures of Cristian Romero and Rodrigo Bentancur

Tottenham Hotspur are set to embrace big changes in the squad this summer, with Ange Postecoglou’s future also under heavy scrutiny.

Despite guiding Spurs to Europa League glory, Ange Postecoglou is fighting for his job. There are high chances of him getting sacked and being replaced by a new boss before the 2025/26 season commences.

In recent weeks, Brentford manager Thomas Frank has emerged as the frontrunners to replace the Australian at N17. While Frank has no intentions of swapping Brentford for Spurs, it is clear that Daniel Levy is on the lookout for a new manager. Meanwhile, following a dismal Premier League campaign, big changes are also expected to arrive in the playing squad, and that could involve one of their talismanic figures being sold.

Almost 10 years after arriving at the club from Bayer Leverkusen, Son Heung-min finally lifted a trophy in a Spurs shirt when Postecoglou’s side beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final. Regardless of that, the club are reportedly ready to cut ties with their skipper, who appears past his best and endured a substandard campaign.

Saudi Arabian clubs are showing an interest in the 32-year-old forward of late. Tottenham are ready to offload Son Heung-min, hoping to get a decent fee as this summer offers the best opportunity for them to cash him in. He has entered the final year of his contract, which is something the cash-rich Saudi Pro League are perhaps looking to take advantage of.

Besides Son’s exit rumours, Cristian Romero and Rodrigo Bentancur’s futures also remain uncertain at White Hart Lane. The South American duo have been linked with a move to Spain in recent weeks and months. As crucial members of Ange’s squad that won the Europa League and their future project, the exits of Cristian Romero and Rodrigo Bentancur would be big setbacks for Tottenham.

However, reputable podcast Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham feels Son’s departure could lead to both Romero and Bentancur staying at Tottenham.

Tottenham would be searching for a new skipper if Son departs. Romero appears to be the likeliest to take the captaincy reins from Son, provided he stays. The Argentinean seems to have his heart set on a move to La Liga, with Atletico Madrid desperately vying for his signature.

Bentancur, meanwhile, has been less influential as a leader on the pitch as compared to Romero, but Spurs wanting to tie him down to a new contract suggests he is being highly valued as a player.

Truth be told, Son’s potential sale would likely not have a knock-on effect on both Romero and Bentancur as their futures are not linked in any way. But, Ange’s possible exit might change the scenario for the trio and we could see all of them bidding adieu after winning the European trophy.

Tottenham are actively planning to offload Yves Bissouma this summer amid plenty of interest

Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a squad revamp after a disastrous domestic campaign that saw them finish a lowly 17th in the Premier League.

The Europa League success turned out to be a saving grace for the North Londoners. However, even that hasn’t assured Ange Postecoglou of his position at the club, with reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano stating that a decision over his future is set to arrive very soon.

The Lilywhites have some deadwood to clear off to make space for fresh blood in the squad. One player whose future at the club remains uncertain is Yves Bissouma.

The Mali international’s performances at Brighton and Hove Albion led Tottenham to splash the cash on him in the summer of 2022, hoping the player solves their midfield conundrum. But that has not happened, as the midfielder has failed to live up to the lofty expectations at the North London club. He endured another hugely frustrating season with Spurs.

With Yves Bissouma entering the final year of his contract, the Hotspur Way chiefs are reportedly planning to cash him in this summer. It is revealed that the African enforcer is attracting plenty of interest from the Saudi Pro League, while clubs from Italy and Spain are also keeping tabs. However, his Premier League career may not be just over yet.

According to reliable GIVEMESPORT chief correspondent Ben Jacobs, Everton could enter the race for Bissouma’s signature. The Toffees are in the hunt for new central midfielders and the Spurs star is one who they could target.

David Moyes has done a fantastic job since returning to Everton after 12 years. He took in charge of the club in January 2025 and helped them finish at a respectable 13th spot after the Merseysiders were battling in and around the relegation zone before his arrival. Having released Abdoulaye Doucoure, the Scot is perhaps looking to replace him with a rather combative presence in Bissouma.

The Malian could provide some much-needed bite and tenacity to the Everton engine room, potentially forming a strong partnership with Idrissa Gueye. Staying in the Premier League remains on the ex-Brighton man’s agenda rather than moving to Saudi Arabia at the peak of his powers, and Everton could prove him with that platform.

That said, the Hotspur Way chiefs must now hope that the Toffees enter the mix and come up with a decent offer to sign Bissouma.

Setback for Tottenham as Crystal Palace skipper Marc Guehi turns down move to N17

With Tottenham Hotspur booking their ticket to the Champions League for the next season, Daniel Levy can now shop for quality players and top talents in the transfer market.

If we take 2024/25 campaign into consideration, it has shown that the Lilywhites need for quality and depth in the current squad, especially given how Ange Postecoglou has struggled to play a side without making regular alterations. Central defence was the most affected position as far as the injury problems were concerned, and this in turn forced the Australian tactician to rely on makeshift solutions.

To address the loophole in the squad, Spurs signed Kevin Danso on loan from RC Lens during the January transfer window. The club announced on May 31 that Danso’s loan move has become permanent following an obligation clause. However, before the Austrian was signed, Daniel Levy attempted to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. The North Londoners’ eye-watering £70m bid for the defender was rejected by Crystal Palace on the January deadline day.

Spurs have retained their interest in Marc Guehi, who enjoyed another strong season with the Eagles. The England international was a part of the side that won the FA Cup by beating Manchester City in the final, even though he couldn’t play the full game following an eye injury. The central defender has entered the final year of his contract (Transfermarkt), and with him being hesitant to sign a new deal, this summer provides Palace’s best opportunity to cash in on their star defender.

However, Tottenham have suffered a blow in their pursuit of the Palace skipper. According to a report from Football Insider, Guehi has turned down a move to Spurs. Despite the North Londoners winning the Europa League and subsequently qualifying for the Champions League, the 24-year-old wants to join a club that will consistently challenge for major honours.

Guehi has established himself as one of the most reliable defenders in the Premier League in recent years, and thus, it is not surprising that he is on the radar of multiple leading top-flight clubs. The ex-Chelsea man has shown great leadership at Selhurst Park, and is now a Premier League-proven commodity who Tottenham wants.

After the England international’s snub, the aforementioned report adds Spurs will not take any further part in the race for his signature.

Guehi was viewed as the primary option to potentially replace Cristian Romero, who has been heavily linked with an exit from N17. Now, the Hotspur Way bosses have to change their plans and look for an alternative target, someone who fits the profile perfectly and has the qualities to make an immediate impact next season.

That said, it will be interesting to see where Daniel Levy and Co. turn their attention to in a bid to solve the club’s defensive conundrum.
