The Boy Hotspur

Tottenham are preparing for a busy summer transfer window, with Athletic Bilbao’s exciting winger Nico Williams emerging as a top target.

After a challenging Premier League campaign, Spurs are eager to strengthen their attacking options, and Williams could provide the flair and creativity they’ve been missing.

Tottenham make offer for Nico Williams

Reports from Spain, relayed by Football365, indicate that Tottenham have now joined Arsenal and Chelsea in the race for the 22-year-old, with all three clubs reportedly making offers to lure the Spanish international to England.

Chelsea appear to have made a substantial financial move, with a reported offer worth €20 million net per year until 2030. However, Tottenham are positioning themselves as genuine contenders, identifying Williams as a crucial part of their attacking rebuild.

As per the report, they have joined in making an ‘offer’ to Athletic Bilbao for their star winger.

Williams remains under contract with Athletic Bilbao until the summer of 2027, with a market value of around €70 million. His rise to prominence has made him one of the most coveted young talents in European football, and securing his signature would be a major coup for Spurs as they look to close the gap on the Premier League’s elite.

After breaking into Athletic’s first team in 2021, he quickly became known for his pace, skill, and ability to impact games from either flank. His standout 2023-24 season included a pivotal role in Athletic’s Copa del Rey triumph, where he assisted the decisive goal in the final and earned the Man of the Match.

On the international stage, Williams made headlines with his performances at Euro 2024, where he played a key role in Spain’s fourth European Championship victory, scoring in the final against England.

So far this season, Williams has made 31 appearances across all competitions, contributing four goals and six assists taking his overall tally to 24 goals and 32 assists in 153 games for the club across all competitions. (Transfermarkt)

While Arsenal’s Champions League ambitions could appeal to the young Spaniard, Tottenham are determined to make their case.

Sergio Reguilon has been linked with a move away from Tottenham Hotspur in recent months.

The 28-year-old has struggled for regular game time this season and he is yet to start a single league game for the North London club this season. He needs to move on in search of regular playing time and he has been linked with multiple clubs.

According to a report from Orgullobiri, Sevilla are now prepared to provide him with an exit route at the end of the season. The report states that they are hoping to sign him on a free transfer when his contract expires. The 28-year-old has played for Sevilla in the past and he knows the club well. He could settle in quickly and make an instant impact at the club.

Signing him on a free transfer would be a no-risk acquisition as well. If he manages to impress at Sevilla, the deal could look like a bargain in the long term

The defender is still very much at the peak of his power and he will look to get his career back on track with regular football. He should seek gametime assurances from Sevilla before making the move. The report further states that the defender has recently changed agents and it is an indication that he is looking to change clubs. It remains to be seen whether all parties can iron out an agreement over the next few months.

The defender is unwanted at Tottenham, and it would be ideal for him to sort out his future quickly. He will want to focus on his football once again and a return to his homeland could help get the best out of him once again. A fresh start could do him a world of good.

Tottenham are keen on signing the Southampton winger Tyler Dibling at the end of the season.

According to a report from TBR Football, the Premier League club will demand a fee in excess of £50 million for the highly-rated attacker.

Tottenham tried to sign the player during the January transfer window, but they failed to get the deal across the line. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to pay up in the summer.

Even though the asking price might seem steep, the player has the quality to justify the investment in the long term. The opportunity to join Tottenham will be quite exciting for him as well. He is highly rated across the country and he is expected to develop into a top-class Premier League attacker. Spurs could nurture him into a future star.

The North London club have the financial resources to get the deal across the line, and it will be interesting to see if they are ready to pay up. They will need to improve the other areas of their squad as well.

Meanwhile, Southampton have had a disappointing season and they are one of the favourites to go down this season. They are unlikely to be in the Premier League next season and Dibling will not want to compete in the Championship next season. He has made it clear to the Saints that he will not sign a new deal with them. It remains to be seen whether any club is willing to pay in excess of £50 million for him.

Chelsea and Manchester United are keen on the player as well. They have the resources to get the deal done and Spurs must act quickly if they want to win the race for a signature.

Chelsea and Manchester United are lacking in depth in the wide areas and Dibling would be a long-term investment for them. He will add some much-needed cutting edge and unpredictability in the final third and he could help all three teams improve.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham at the end of the season.

The 19-year-old is highly rated across the country and he has a bright future ahead of himself. Sunderland are pushing for promotion and they could be open to selling the player if they fail to return to the top flight.

Former Tottenham scout Mick Brown has revealed to Football Insider that they could cash in on the midfielder if the right offer is presented. He also added that Spurs are in the running to secure his signature along with Crystal Palace. Both clubs have scouted him extensively.

“Crystal Palace and Tottenham have had scouts watching him this season so they’ll be two of the teams in the running if he is going to leave.

“So it’ll be up to them to assess whether he’s ready to make that jump.

“From a Sunderland point of view, knowing the way the owners want to operate, I think if they get a huge bid for him then they’ll let him go.“

Bellingham could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for Tottenham if they can get the deal done. The technically gifted midfielder will add goals and creativity to the side. He will also add composure and control to the midfield.

The 19-year-old has all the attributes to develop into a reliable Premier League performer in the coming seasons and Tottenham would do well to secure his signature in the summer.

The opportunity to play for the north London club will be quite exciting for the player. It would be a major step up in his career and he would get to test himself at a higher level. Even though Spurs have not been at their best this season, they are a big club with an ambitious project. They have a talented squad as well. They are likely to be an attractive destination for the midfielder.

Tottenham Hotspur’s turbulent 2024-25 Premier League season has taken a more promising turn, with back-to-back wins helping to steady the ship after a tough run of form.

The latest victory, a narrow but hard-fought 1-0 triumph over Manchester United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, has lifted Spurs to 12th place in the league table, offering a glimmer of hope for a stronger finish to the campaign.

James Maddison’s composed strike just 13 minutes into the match proved to be the difference, as Tottenham secured their third win over United this season across all competitions.

However, while Spurs’ league position has stabilised for now, a recent prediction from Opta’s AI supercomputer suggests that Tottenham’s hopes of breaking into the European places may be slipping away.

According to the latest data, Spurs are most likely to finish 12th, with an 18.1% probability of ending the season right where they currently are. The closest alternatives are 11th and 13th, reinforcing expectations that that Lilwhites will conclude the campaign in the bottom half of the table.

The supercomputer’s forecast was even bleaker for Manchester United, who have now dropped to 15th following their defeat to Spurs. Opta’s analysis indicates that United’s most probable finish is 14th, with only a 19% chance of climbing higher, as the threat of a shocking relegation battle looms larger for the Old Trafford side.

At the top of the table, Liverpool are overwhelming favorites to claim the title, with an 85.8% chance of lifting the trophy.

Despite the AI’s prediction, Tottenham will remain focused on defying the odds. With key players gradually returning from injury and momentum beginning to build, Ange Postecoglou’s side will aim to string together a winning run, climb the table, and finish the season on a high note.

The next test comes against Ipswich Town, offering another opportunity to keep the upward trajectory going.

Tottenham reportedly made a late push to sign long-term target Santiago Gimenez in January but failed in their attempt.

Spurs were actively seeking reinforcements to add more firepower to their attack after injuries to the likes of Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, Richarlison and Dominic Solanke, and Gimenez was among those the club were eyeing.

However, despite making a strong approach, Tottenham were unable to convince the Mexican forward to make the switch to North London.

According to a report from Calciomercato, the striker rejected Spurs as he had already committed to joining AC Milan from Feyenoord, having given his word to Milan advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

His agent pushed for a move to San Siro as per the report with the player also remaining steadfast on his decision, forcing the club to look elsewhere for reinforcements.

Missing out on him would have been particularly disappointing given the club’s long-standing interest in him. The forward was rumored to be on Spurs’ radar in the last January transfer window as well and was even spotted at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium with his agent last April.

The Mexican international has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years. After winning the Liga MX title with Cruz Azul in 2021, he made the switch to Feyenoord in 2022.

He scored 28 goals in his debut season across all competitions. The following season, Gimenez continued to shine, netting 23 league goals and setting a new Eredivisie calendar-year scoring record with 31 goals in 2023. He finished the season with 26 goals and 8 assists across all competitions. In 105 appearances for the Dutch club, he scored 65 and assisted 14, and finished his time at Eredivisie with 55 goals and assists in 75 games. (Transfermarkt)

His performances earned him a move to AC Milan earlier this month, where he has continued his fine goalscoring form with 2 goals and an assist in 4 games so far.

He was not the only attacker they failed to sign. They were also strongly pursuing PSG’s Randal Kolo Muani, with club chairman Daniel Levy personally flying to France to negotiate a deal for him. The club had a loan deal in place as well but the player ultimately decided against joining Spurs and chose to join Juventus instead.

They also initially failed to convince Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel despite having agreed deal with the German club. However, a phone call from Ange Postecoglou managed to turn his head around and the young Frenchman joined Spurs on loan before deadline.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi at the end of the season.

According to Fichajes, Tottenham have submitted an offer of around £50 million to sign the central defender and they are set to compete with multiple other Premier League clubs in the race to sign the player. Spurs wanted to sign him in the past as well.

The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the best defenders in the league and clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle are keen on the player as well. It will be interesting to see if the Eagles are willing to sanction his departure in the summer.

He is a reliable performer in the Premier League and he could transform Spurs at the back. They need more defensive depth in the side and the Crystal Palace star would be an exceptional acquisition. He has the ability to justify the £50 million investment in the coming seasons as well.

He is well-settled in the Premier League, and he could make an instant impact at Tottenham. He will help them tighten up at the back and improve defensively.

The player has been dubbed as an “absolute tank” by his teammates during his days with the England Under 21s. He has impressed with the senior team in recent months as well. There is no doubt that he is a top-quality player with a bright future and Tottenham would do well to secure his signature.

However, the North London club could miss out on Champions League qualification next season and that could be a major problem when it comes to attracting top players. The 24-year-old will want to compete at the highest level and fight for major trophies. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can convince him to join the club.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram at the end of the season.

The 27-year-old French International has been outstanding for Inter Milan since joining the club and he has helped them win the league title. Thuram has been in impressive form this season as well, scoring 14 goals and picking up eight assists in all competitions.

He could prove to be a quality acquisition for the north London club. They have signed Dominic Solanke for a substantial amount of money at the start of the season, but they need more support in the attack. The French International would be the ideal acquisition.

According to a report from Inter Live, the player is ‘at the top of the list’ for Spurs and he will cost around €80 million.

Tottenham have been following him from his days in the Bundesliga. It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done at the end of the season. The report claims that the asking price is not insurmountable for a club with their resources.

Tottenham need to improve their squad to bounce back strongly and fight for major trophies. Thuram has proven himself in Germany and Italy. There is no doubt that he has the physical and technical attributes to do well in England as well. He could be an asset for Tottenham if they can get the deal done. The player is at the peak of his powers, and he could hit the ground running at his new club and transform them in the attack.

Tottenham Hotspur’s disappointing campaign has intensified pressure on manager Ange Postecoglou, with speculation mounting over his long-term future at the club.

Spurs have endured a tough season, failing to secure a win in their last seven home league matches (D2 L5), marking their worst run in the competition since 2008.

Currently sitting 14th in the Premier League and having suffered exits from both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, the club’s struggles have sparked growing concerns about their direction under Postecoglou.

ESPN journalist James Olley has suggested that should Spurs opt for a managerial change, Fulham’s Marco Silva could emerge as a strong candidate for the job.

Olley believes that Silva, who has built a solid reputation at Craven Cottage, would be open to making the move to North London if chairman Daniel Levy saw him as the ideal replacement.

The pundit also pointed out that the Portuguese coach has previously expressed interest in joining Chelsea, indicating his ambition to manage at a higher level.

Speaking on ESPN’s The Football Reporters, Olley said:

“I think Marco Silva is another interesting option. I think that he would leave Fulham. I think he was quite keen to go to Chelsea, had they made a concerted effort to appoint him in the past. So I think he’s ambitious Silva. I think, obviously Fulham, I’m sure, would fight tooth and nail to keep him, but I can see a scenario where Marco Silva certainly courts some interest if there’s a possibility of that.”

Since taking over at Fulham in 2021, Silva has transformed the club’s fortunes. He guided them to an immediate return to the Premier League by winning the Championship, during which his team scored an impressive 106 goals.

In their first season back in the top flight, Fulham achieved a commendable 10th-place finish, with Silva rejecting big-money offers from Saudi clubs to remain at the helm. He also led Fulham to their first-ever League Cup semi-final, where they were narrowly defeated by Liverpool.

Currently, Fulham remain competitive in the top half of the table, just five points behind fifth-placed Manchester City.

Silva is not the only manager linked with the job. Simone Inzaghi is also among those who Spurs are looking at, with Fabrio Paratici reportedly pushing for the club to appoint him.

As Tottenham evaluate their next steps, the club’s leadership must decide whether to back Postecoglou through the ongoing injury crisis or consider a fresh start with a manager like Silva. The next few months will be crucial in determining Spurs’ long-term plans.

Liverpool want to sign Micky Van de Ven from Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the season.

The 23-year-old has been exceptional for Tottenham since joining the club. Even though he has had his fair share of injury problems, his performances have been remarkable and a report from Football Insider claims that Liverpool are hoping to secure his services.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot knows the player well and he wants the club to sign the Dutch international in the summer. It will be interesting to see if Spurs are willing to sanction his departure. He is one of the best players at the club and the North London club simply cannot afford to lose him.

Selling him to a direct rival would be a devastating blow for the club. It will not be easy for Tottenham to replace him, and they are unlikely to sanction his departure any time soon. Liverpool might have to pay well over the odds in order to tempt them into selling a key player.

It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Liverpool need defensive depth, especially if Virgil van Dijk moves on in the summer. He will be a free agent at the end of the season. Van de Ven could be the ideal replacement for his compatriot.

The opportunity to join Liverpool could be exciting for the Spurs star and they could provide him with the platform to fight for major trophies regularly and compete in the Champions League as well.

Tottenham must do everything in their power to convince the player to stay at the club for as long as possible. The report from Football Insider describes the defender as an “elite Champions League level” player. The report further states that Liverpool are “very keen” on him. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can work out a deal that benefits them both.
