Daily Express

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly struck a big-money agreement with Newcastle United to sign Sandro Tonali this summer. It comes amid a spectacular spending spree by Spurs, who are looking to equip Roberto De Zerbi with a squad capable of challenging much further up the table after back-to-back 17th-place finishes.

Tottenham fell right behind the pack in the previous two seasons, and despite lifting their first piece of silverware since 2008 last year, had some serious work to do with their squad. Their latest statement in the transfer market appears to be a big one, with Tonali set to become the club's most expensive ever player.

That's according to The Athletic, who report the 26-year-old is heading for the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after an agreement worth £92.5million was reached between the two clubs. It's a deal that could eventually rise to £100m, should the proposed add-ons - which include Champions League qualification - be achieved.

The north Londoners upped the ante in their pursuit of Tonali after learning of keen interest from other clubs, including Manchester City and Manchester United, who had both been sniffing around the Italy international. They are said to have made club-to-club contact late last month, before pulling the trigger on what will be a new club-record deal.

That record was set to be broken after news dropped that Spurs had agreed an £85m deal to sign Mateus Fernandes from recently-relegated West Ham United. While neither transfer has been completed yet, Tonali will become the most expensive player in Tottenham's history when he signs on the dotted line.

It's already been a hectic summer for Spurs, with three players having arrived at the club. The 2025 Europa League winners secured the services of Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson on free transfers, with the pair joining from Bournemouth and Liverpool respectively. Back-up goalkeeper Martin Dubravka is another who joined for free.

They also spent big to sign Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton & Hove Albion in a deal worth £52m, with the defender having had one year left on his deal at the AMEX Stadium. There has been some chatter about exits, most notably Lucas Bergvall, who reportedly wants out of Spurs in search of a new challenge.

Tottenham aren't said to be done yet, as the nearly-relegated side are said to be chasing a new winger, with City's Savinho having been mentioned as a potential target. They had been interested last summer, and it's suggested Spurs have renewed their interest in the Brazilian forward.

Express Sport brings you the latest transfer news from across the Premier League.

All eyes are on the World Cup at the moment but the transfer grind never stops for clubs throughout the Premier League and beyond. There was a big development yesterday as Manchester United missed out on the signing of West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes, who is now poised to join Tottenham. The north Londoners have agreed a club-record £85m transfer fee with Bournemouth and personal terms are not expected to be a problem.

United have reportedly switched their focus to other targets, with Bournemouth playmaker Alex Scott believed to be among several options. Arsenal, meanwhile, have been linked with a blockbuster move for PSG winger Bradley Barcola should they fail to sign Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa.

Man Utd's stance on Crysencio Summerville

Manchester United have identified Crysencio Summerville as a leading transfer target this summer.

That's according to Sky Sports, who say the Dutchman is near the top of Michael Carrick's shortlist.

United have been tipped to sign a new left-winger before the new Premier League campaign gets underway.

Everton set to sign Chelsea teenager

Everton are closing in on a permanent move for Chelsea youngster Arthur Barratt, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Mateus Fernandes set for Tottenham medical

Tottenham have been given permission to book a medical for Mateus Fernandes after striking an £85m deal with West Ham.

Arsenal could move for PSG winger Bradley Barcola as an alternative to Morgan Rogers, according to BBC Sport.

Rogers remains a leading target for the Premier League champions but is thought to be valued at around £130m.

Tottenham Hotspur officially said goodbye to 12 players today. The club have been preparing for the new season after narrowly escaping relegation last term.

Robert De Zerbi, Spurs’ third manager of the season, guided the Lilywhites to 17th place in the Premier League, edging 18th-place West Ham by two points. De Zerbi has already looked to impose himself on the squad, having his say on transfer incomings while allowing a host of players to leave in a major shake-up. A whopping 12 players will depart today, given that June 30 marked the final day of the 2025/26 campaign. July 1 is recognised as the official start of the new football season, when new players can be officially signed. Players whose contracts expire on June 30 become free agents on July 1, allowing them to seamlessly register with a new club without any legal overlap.

One of the biggest names to depart at the end of his contract is Yves Bissouma, who was confirmed to be leaving by the club rather unceremoniously last month, having not been offered a new contract.

"We can confirm the departure of Yves Bissouma following the conclusion of his contract," the post on X read. "Thank you for your service and all the best for the future, Biss."

That’s despite the Mali international making 111 appearances during his time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Bissouma joined Spurs from Brighton in the summer of 2022 for a fee of £30million. A combination of knee and ankle injuries stopped Bissouma from featuring for Spurs across the entire first half of last season.

Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT

He was forced to wait until January 17 to make his first appearance of the campaign, which ended in a 2-1 defeat to West Ham. Bissouma went on to feature just 11 times for Tottenham across the rest of the season, and was an unused substitute in the final three Premier League matches of the campaign.

Thousands of fans upgraded their Premier League matchday last season. This is how they did it.

Elsewhere, on June 26, Brazilian side Bahia announced the signing of Alejo Veliz on a permanent deal from Tottenham, with the move officially taking effect on July 1. The Argentine completed a £7.7m transfer following his season-long loan at Rosario Central.

A further 10 players from Spurs’ academy have also left the club. Under-21 players Pele Arganese-McDermott, Tyrell Ashcroft, Leo Black, Dante Cassanova, Matthew Craig and Calum Logan have all left north London due to their deals with the club coming to an end.

Four players from the Under-18s have also left, including Elijah Upson, who rejected a contract offer from the club. Rounding off the long list of departures are Jamel Beggs, Samal Bangura and Leon Myrtaj.

However, Spurs have also made use of free agency, bringing in Marcos Senesi of Bournemouth, Andrew Robertson of Liverpool and Martin Dubravka of Burnley. The £52m signing of Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton was also announced last month.

A whole host of Premier League clubs are looking to buy Ayyoub Bouaddi.

The midfielder has been a standout for Morocco at the World Cup this summer.

Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool have all been mentioned in the conversation.

However, now Real Madrid are being touted as a potential suitor.

The Lille man is expected to go for big money this summer.

Manchester United have sanctioned a deal that will see Andre Onana return to Trabzonspor.

Onana spent last season out on loan with the Turkish outfit, but had been hoping to make an impression on new boss Michael Carrick.

It doesn't look as if Onana, who joined United for £47m in 2023, will get the chance to.

He will once again head back to Trabzonspor for another season on loan with the Super Lig side.

Arsenal have reportedly made a verbal offer for Bruno Guimaraes.

It was said to be in the region of £60million, as per The Athletic.

However, Newcastle are steadfast on keeping their captain and don't look as if they are entertaining a sale at the moment.

Sandro Tonali has also been of interest to Premier League sides, with a fee of £100m being touted for the Italian.

Crystal Palace defender Maxence Lacroix is on the verge of joining Chelsea for approximately £47.4million.

French outlet L'Equipe claim that the 26-year-old is likely to start for France tonight and is likely to move on in the summer.

Palace were initially reluctant to part ways with another of their top players, but have been willing to sanction sales if their asking prices are met, as has been the case in recent years with Michael Olise, Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi.

Elliot Anderson will move to Manchester City this summer for a reported £116m fee.

The midfielder has shone for Nottingham Forest and has been a fixture in Thomas Tuchel's England side.

Forest rejected two offers from City, but it's believed a club-record sale will see Anderson join the Blues.

It's also a club-record purchase for City, whose most expensive signing prior to this was Jack Grealish.

Personal terms are not expected to be an issue and a medical is reportedly taking place in New York.

Arsenal are reportedly in the market for Newcastle ace Bruno Guimaraes.

The Brazil international has attracted interest from several top clubs in the Premier League, with the Gunners the latest.

Arsenal have reportedly made contact with Guimaraes, according to Fabrizio Romano.

However, the Magpies aren't willing to entertain a deal at this stage.

It looks as if they are going to lose Sandro Tonali and wouldn't want to see both midfield generals leave this summer.

Sandro Tonali has reportedly agreed to join Tottenham.

The midfielder is subject to interest from the north Londoners, who are eyeing a move this summer.

The Italian is also attracting attention from Manchester United and even Manchester City.

Spurs have seen a bid rejected by Newcastle already, but according to talkSPORT, Tonali is open to joining Tottenham.

Newcastle failed to qualify for European football last season and are at risk of losing their best players.

Manchester United are running the risk of being beaten by the signature of Mateus Fernandes, who is also wanted by Tottenham. The midfielder has been heavily linked with a potential move to Old Trafford, with Michael Carrick eager to strengthen in the engine room this summer. United have already agreed to sign Atalanta playmaker Ederson but are reportedly keen to land Fernandes as well.

It's been reported that personal terms have already been agreed with the 21-year-old, who is widely expected to leave West Ham following their relegation to the Championship. However, it seems Tottenham could be well-placed to swoop in and land him for themselves. That's because they are willing to offer a higher salary than the Red Devils, according to The Sun.

The north Londoners are reportedly prepared to blow United's package out of the water, giving them a crucial advantage in negotiations.

It's claimed the Hammers are demanding a transfer fee of around £80million to part ways with the Portugal youth international this summer. He is currently believed to be earning around £60,000 per week at the London Stadium.

Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT

Due to their willingness to pay a higher salary, it seems Tottenham could have the upper hand when it comes to the race to sign Fernandes over the coming weeks.

However, they could also end up doing United a huge favour by solving an unrelated problem for Carrick ahead of the new season.

They are interested in bringing Marcus Rashford to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the England international set to leave United between now and the start of the new campaign.

He is currently taking home around £325,000 per week, which United need to get off their books so it can be reinvested into other areas of the squad.

Tottenham are reportedly willing to match Rashford's salary demands, meaning he wouldn't be forced to accept a pay cut.

However, other reports have suggested that he isn't currently willing to join another Premier League club and would prefer to move abroad.

It remains to be seen if Rashford can be convinced to sign for Tottenham, who are in desperate need of reinforcements after last season's relegation scare.

If the proposed move goes ahead, it would be hugely beneficial for United, who initially deemed Rashford surplus to requirements two seasons ago.

They included a £26m purchase clause in the deal that saw him join Barcelona on loan for the previous campaign, but the Catalan giants decided not to activate it.

Rashford currently has a £40m release clause at Old Trafford, meaning Tottenham could bypass negotiations at club level by triggering it.

Arsenal are set to accelerate their interest in Morgan Rogers and are confident of beating both Manchester United and Chelsea to his signature.

The Times claim that Arsenal are yet to contact Morgan Rogers about a possible £100million move, but are aware of the England international's price tag.

Mikel Arteta believes that Rogers can play centrally or on the left for Arsenal, with the club confident that personal terms will not be an issue.

The Gunners are also confident of tying up a deal for Leicester's 16-year-old starlet, Jeremy Monga, for under £15m.

Real Madrid have reportedly made Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez a 'priority' for this transfer window.

Spanish outlet AS claim that Fernandez has been bumped up to first choice as Jose Mourinho attempts to rebuild their midfield, with Aurelien Tchouameni among those who could depart.

Madrid will begin talks with Chelsea in the coming days and personal terms are not thought to be an issue.

Fernandez is ready to leave Stamford Bridge after they failed to qualify for European football, though Chelsea are unlikely to let him leave for less than the £106million they paid for him in 2023.

Liverpool have four back-up options if neither Yan Diomande nor Bradley Barcola can be persuaded to move to Anfield.

Those include Brighton's Yankuba Minteh, West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville, Koln star Said El Mala and Lille's Matias Fernandez-Pardo.

There is nothing advanced on the four, according to The Athletic, but Liverpool are admirers and have versions of their plan to bring in attacking reinforcements.

Manchester United have expressed a strong interest to Aurelien Tchouameni's agents that they would like to sign the Real Madrid midfielder this summer.

That's according to Sportitalia, who claim that Madrid are now open to selling the Frenchman this summer.

Tchouameni himself would like to stay at Los Blancos, but new boss Jose Mourinho is planning an overhaul and he may leave as a result.

Two teams have joined the race to sign Norwegian starlet Andreas Schjelderup, alongside Liverpool and Tottenham.

TuttoMercatoWeb claim that AC Milan and Como are emerging as possible suitors for the Benfica winger, currently valued at around £25million.

“It would be fantastic if those rumours were true, but at the moment I don’t know anything concrete,” he previously said when linked with a move to Barcelona.

Chelsea are prepared to sell one of their strikers this summer, not including Joao Pedro.

With Pedro, Liam Delap, Nicolas Jackson and Marc Guiu all at the club, The Athletic claims that one will depart, especially with no European football to contend with this season.

Guiu may leave on loan and Delap, even after just one season, could cut his losses after a miserable campaign.

Jackson fell out with Enzo Maresca, which led to his loan to Bayern Munich, but he could be given another chance under Xabi Alonso.

Much will depend on the scale of offers on the table for each forward.

New Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has reportedly given his backing to sign an Arsenal player this summer.

ESPN claim that Madrid have enquired about Piero Hincapie, who is set to make his loan from Bayer Leverkusen permanent for £45million this summer.

But Los Blancos want to take him straight to Spain, even after signing Marc Cucurella from Chelsea and Ibrahima Konate on a free transfer.

Mourinho personally wants a left-footed defender who can play at both centre-back and left-back, with Hincapie a strong target.

Chelsea are interested in signing Crystal Palace star defender Maxence Lacroix this summer.

The Athletic claim that Palace do not want to let the Frenchman leave, ideally, but have been prepared to sanction exits if their asking prices have been met in the past.

Palace are under no financial pressure to sell and the 26-year-old has three years left on his contract, while the Eagles would need a replacement in their sights also.

Reports coming out of Spain suggest a swap deal between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid is being considered.

COPE claim that Atletico are studying the possibility of letting Julian Alvarez leave for Arsenal, if they receive Viktor Gyokeres in return.

The Spanish side have closed the door to any negotiations with Barcelona, while links with Paris Saint-Germain have cooled in recent weeks.

Atletico are exploring the possibility of acquiring Gyokeres in any deal for Atletico, though they would seek a fee between £34million and £51m also.

Alvarez's preference is to join Barcelona.

Aston Villa have reportedly expressed a strong interest in signing West Ham captain and talisman Jarrod Bowen this summer.

The Athletic claim that Villa have not yet held talks with the Hammers, but Unai Emery is a huge admirer of the forward and would want the signing if a deal can be done.

Villa need to make sales first and Bowen is yet to decide if he wants to leave West Ham following their relegation.

West Ham have indicated they want to keep the 29-year-old.

Manchester United have also been linked with a move for Bowen.

Kylian Mbappe has done Bayern Munich no favours in their attempt to keep Michael Olise in Germany.

After scoring off an Olise assist again at the World Cup, Mbappe talked up their relationship on the pitch, at a time when Olise has been linked with a £150million move to Real Madrid.

“It’s so easy to play with Michael Olise," Mbappe said. "He makes it easier, playing with his head up.

"He can always see my movements. I love playing with Michael.”

Tottenham want to raid West Ham for the second season in a row and hijack Manchester United's pursuit of midfielder Mateus Fernandes.

Roberto De Zerbi is eyeing several statement signings to help him propel Spurs back up the Premier League.

TalkSPORT claim that they are in talks to beat United to the signing of Fernandes, who is currently away with Portugal at the World Cup.

Spurs have made an enquiry to West Ham and De Zerbi has identified Fernandes as someone who can improve his side immediately.

Manchester United could be handed a third opportunity to sign Lucas Bergvall following two previous missed chances. The 20-year-old midfielder underwent trials with the club on two separate occasions before completing a move to Tottenham Hotspur in 2024. Bergvall emerged as a breakthrough talent during his debut season with Tottenham, claiming the supporters' player of the year accolade.

The Sweden international established himself as a regular under Ange Postecoglou and played an instrumental role in the club's run to Europa League glory, though injury ruled him out of the final against United. However, reports suggest that Bergvall is now weighing up his future after slipping down the pecking order at Spurs, who are pursuing Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali. BBC Sport has reported that Bergvall's representatives have engaged in discussions with Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest and Chelsea.

United made their interest in Bergvall clear when the Sweden international was still a teenager. His reported willingness to depart Spurs this summer provides United with an opening to reignite their interest.

Bergvall's initial trial spell at United took place in 2020, just before Brexit rules barred clubs from signing under-18 players from abroad. He subsequently returned to Carrington in 2022, despite United being unable to formally secure the Swedish talent until 2024.

MEN Sport has previously reported that changes within the recruitment department meant United failed to complete a deal for Bergvall during his second trial. He subsequently joined Swedish outfit Djurgarden later that year, where his displays caught the attention of Spurs.

Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT

Following an impressive start at Tottenham, he found himself out of favour last term amid managerial upheaval. Bergvall managed only 11 league starts as his progress stalled.

The talented midfielder is considering his options as Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi pursues Tonali. United are already familiar with Bergvall's capabilities and what he could bring to the squad as Michael Carrick's team embark on their own midfield overhaul.

United are actively seeking central midfielders following Casemiro's departure this summer. The Reds have already secured a deal for Atalanta's Ederson and have been associated with various other targets.

Bergvall's circumstances offer United a chance to rectify previous errors. Furthermore, he has been compared to Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong, one of United's past transfer targets.

"His best position is as a number eight," Djurgarden sports coordinator Peter Kisfaludy told football.london in 2024. "He's a box-to-box player, running into the box and he's really good at playing the ball between the lines.

"He's a little copy of Frenkie de Jong. He's really fast with the ball, really good with the ball and a fantastic dribbler."

Bergvall will be keen to nail down a regular starting berth next season following a stop-start campaign at Spurs. While securing a guaranteed place in United's midfield would be no mean feat, the talented youngster could bring an end to a transfer saga that first began six years ago by making the move to Old Trafford.

Express Sport brings you the latest transfer news from the Premier League and beyond.

All eyes are on the World Cup at the moment but the transfer grind never stops for the Premier League's top clubs. Manchester United have already moved to sign Atalanta midfielder Ederson, with that deal expected to be confirmed in the not-too-distant future. They won't stop there in their pursuit of midfield reinforcements, though, as Michael Carrick looks to shape his squad for the campaign ahead.

United have also been linked with a move for Sandro Tonali, but Tottenham appear to have moved into pole position for the Newcastle playmaker. The north Londoners saw an £80m bid rejected over the weekend and could soon return to the table with an improved offer. Liverpool, meanwhile, are still pushing to sign RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, who is reportedly valued at £87m.

Ayyoub Bouaddi to Liverpool?

Liverpool have had multiple meetings with standout World Cup star Ayyoub Bouaddi, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The transfer insider insists the Reds are a club to keep an eye on as multiple teams position themselves to try and sign the Morocco midfielder.

Bouaddi plays for Lille at club level and the 18-year-old will command a big fee of over £70million.

Romano said: "It depends on price, it depends on what Lille want to do but Liverpool have been scouting the player for a long time, it has been almost one year monitoring the player closely.

"Let's see if they enter this one. I think it could be interesting, not just for Liverpool but for other clubs."

If no such opportunity arrives, the forward is reportedly open to staying at United and trying to prove himself under Michael Carrick next season.
