The Boy Hotspur

Harry Kane has been linked with a move back to the Premier League in 2026, and a return to Tottenham Hotspur cannot be ruled out.

According to former Everton CEO Keith Wyness, he is likely to return to his former club. While there will be opportunities to join other clubs, it seems that a return to his boyhood club is more likely.

Tottenham backed to sign Kane

Wyness said on Football Insider: “I think he’s going to go back to Spurs, if he’s going to go anywhere.

“So I think it’d be hard for anybody else to get hold of him. He is a London boy, and I think it would be Spurs.

“While other clubs may look at that option and wish they could do it, I think he’s going to be Spurs through and through, and it’d be hard for him to play anywhere else in the Premier League.”

Kane could transform Spurs

Kane has been exceptional for Bayern Munich since joining the club, and he has been prolific for them. He helped him when the lead title last season, and he will be hoping to help them win the UEFA Champions League this season. There is a clause in his contract which allows him to leave for a fee of €60 million at the end of this season. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to bring him back.

They need a quality striker like him, and he could make a big difference for them in the final third. Even though he is in his 30s, he’s still good enough to compete at the highest level for a few seasons. He would be a major upgrade on their current options.

Tottenham will be hoping to win major trophies, and they need elite players like him to do well. The Bayern Munich striker has 17 goals to his name already this season. He has been unplayable since the start of the campaign, and it will be interesting to see if you can help the German champions win the Champions League.

Tottenham Hotspur are monitoring Samu Aghehowa from Porto ahead of a potential move.

The 21-year-old has done quite well for the Portuguese club, scoring 27 goals and picking up three assists in all competitions last season. He could develop into a quality player for Tottenham, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done.

Spurs need Samu Aghehowa

According to Fichajes, they are monitoring his development closely, but he has a €100 million release clause in his contract. Porto will demand a substantial amount of money for him, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can negotiate a reasonable deal. They need another striker, especially with the way Dominic Solanke has performed since joining the club. He has not been able to score goals consistently. Another striker could make a big difference.

The 21-year-old possesses the technical attributes and physicality to excel in the Premier League, and he has the potential to develop into a key player for the club. He is young enough to improve further, and he could fulfil his potential with the North London outfit. Even if Tottenham have to pay a premium for him, he could justify the investment in the long run.

Premier League move could be ideal for Aghehowa

The move to the Premier League could be the ideal next step for him. He has proven himself in the Portuguese league, but he needs to compete at a higher level to further improve.

Tottenham could be an attractive destination for him. They could provide him with the platform to showcase his qualities in England and in elite European competitions.

Tottenham Hotspur have joined the race for Mateo Pellegrino from Italian club Parma.

The 23-year-old Argentine has impressed with his performances in Italy, and Spurs would be willing to secure his signature. However, they are not alone in their pursuit, and they will face competition from West Ham and Nottingham Forest, as per ParmaLive.

Matteo Pellegrino could be tempted to join

The opportunity to move to England will be an interesting one for the player, and it remains to be seen whether he is keen on the move. Regular football in England could help him improve further. Spurs need more depth in the attacking unit, and signing the 23-year-old could be ideal for them as well. If he manages to fulfil his potential with them, he could develop into a star for the club.

Parma value the player highly, and he is likely to cost a premium. They will not sell the player before the summer transfer window, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham decide to wait until then. Signing the South American would be a solid long-term investment for them. He is likely to improve with coaching and experience, and he could develop into a quality player with the right guidance.

Even if Spurs have to pay a premium for him, Pellegrino could justify the investment in future.

Pellegrino is a player in demand

Meanwhile, West Ham and Nottingham Forest are keeping tabs on his situation as well. It will be interesting to see if they decide to follow up on their interest with an official offer to get the deal done. Signing the player will not be easy for them. He will want to compete at the highest level, and Tottenham will be a more attractive destination. They will be able to offer him. European football and the platform to fight for trophies. It remains to be seen what the Striker decides.

Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on the Porto striker Samu Aghehowa.

The 21-year-old has been outstanding since moving to the Portuguese club, and he scored 27 goals in all competitions last season. He has been quite impressive this season as well, scoring seven goals in 10 matches across all competitions.

They were linked with Aghehowa last season as well.

Tottenham keen on Samu Aghehowa

According to a report from TEAMtalk, they are keeping tabs on the talented young attacker, and they could look to make a move for him in future. There has been talk of fresh investment in the club, and Tottenham could be more ambitious in the transfer market in future.

Tottenham could certainly use another quality striker and could be a solid acquisition for them. He could prove to be an upgrade on Dominic Solanke, who has failed to make his mark since the big-money move to Tottenham. He has not been able to score goals consistently.

On the other hand, the 21-year-old has gone from strength to strength since joining the Portuguese club. He has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League, and he could share the goal-scoring burden with the Tottenham striker. He could even prove to be an upgrade on the English attacker in future.

Aghehowa could fancy a move

The opportunity to move to the Premier League could be exciting for him. It would be a step up in his career, and he would get to test himself alongside top-class players. Regular football in England could accelerate his development as well and help him fulfil his potential.

Meanwhile, the striker has a contract with Porto until 2029, and they are under no pressure to sell him anytime soon. It would take a huge amount of money in order to convince the Portuguese side to sell the player.

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign the Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde.

According to Fichajes, they have identified the 27-year-old as a priority target, and they are ready to spend a substantial amount of money in order to get the deal done.

Spurs need Valverde

They could use a complete midfielder like him, and the Uruguayan international would be an exceptional addition. He can operate in any role in the middle of the park, and he can slot into the defensive roles as well. He could be the ideal utility man for Tottenham. They need more quality in the midfield, and the 27-year-old could transform them.

He will add control, composure, defensive cover, physicality, and work rate to the side. He has all the attributes to succeed in the Premier League. The South American is at the peak of his career, and he could make an instant impact in England.

Can Spurs convince Federico Valverde?

It will be interesting to see if they can convince Real Madrid to sell the player. He has been an important player for the Spanish club. Meanwhile, convincing the player to join the club will not be easy either. He will want to join a team capable of winning league titles and the UEFA Champions League. Tottenham are not quite at that level yet. However, they have an exciting project.

It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. The midfielder has been described as the “most complete player in football” by Carlo Ancelotti in the past. It would be a major coup for Tottenham if they could get the deal done.

Tottenham will need elite players like him if they want to compete with top clubs regularly.

Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs interested in signing the Turkish sensation Arda Guler from Real Madrid.

The 20-year-old is a tremendous talent with a bright future, and they are hoping to sign him. As per Fichajes, Arsenal and Newcastle are keen on the player as well.

It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid are willing to sanction his departure. He has been a very useful player for them, and he has the potential to develop into a future star. Former Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has tipped him to become an exceptional midfielder in future.

Arsenal could use an alternative to Martin Odegaard, and the 20-year-old would be a solid fit for them as well. They are one of the biggest clubs in England, and they could be an attractive destination for most players.

Arda Guler is an elite talent

“Arda Güler has made tremendous progress. He’s showing his quality and gaining consistency. I believe he can become an exceptional midfielder, because there are very few at his level. He will be very important for the future of Real Madrid,” said Ancelotti on beIN Sports.

Tottenham could certainly use more quality on the side, and signing an elite talent like Guler would be a solid investment. However, convincing Real Madrid to sell the player will be difficult. They do not need to sell players for money, and they are fully aware of the 20-year-old potential.

Spurs could use Guler

He is capable of operating centrally as an attacking midfielder as well as on the flanks. He will help create opportunities for his teammates and also find the back of the net. Despite his tender age, he has demonstrated that he is capable of competing at the highest level. He has already won the La Liga title and the UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid. His winning experience could prove to be invaluable for Tottenham.

They are looking to build a team capable of fighting for trophies regularly, and they could use someone like him. They have an exciting project, quality players and a quality manager. It will be interesting to see if the Turkish midfielder is attracted to the idea of joining them. The only way he could consider joining Tottenham is if he struggles for regular gametime at Real Madrid. Other than that, there is no reason for him to leave one of the biggest clubs in the world.

The business of Tottenham transfer windows is probably discussed at least once a day by most fans, either face-to-face or online. Everybody wants to know who’s the next man through the door will be. Player trading is an actual obsession.

To which end, the subject of Fabio Paratici’s future has been the subject of significant speculation, since his brush with football authorities in Italy, which resulted in a worldwide ban from working in the industry and of course, resulted just recently in a suspended jail sentence.

It now emerges that the transfer ‘Don’ could make a well-received return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, according to TBR.

“Paratici was very close to Daniel Levy, and when he left, he was not thinking that he would still possibly return to Spurs, but the club have reached out to him – they know the players he has brought in, and Vinai Venkatesham recognises that fact, they know he is one of the best in football at what he does.

“But a big part is that Venkatesham and Paratici, during the Levy days, actually get on really well – they respect each other and Venkatesham feels they could work together very successfully.

“Venkatesham is pushing to the Lewis Family that Paratici knows the squad, he knows what the club needs, he isn’t starting with a blank sheet of paper, and that is a huge advantage. So, whilst far from done, it is a possibility now that Venkatesham has made the first move.”

Venkatesham has been impressed by Paratici

Venkatesham, previously at Arsenal, has been impressed by Paratici’s transfer market expertise, notably his signings like Cristian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski, and Destiny Udogie.

Reports indicate Venkatesham has pushed the Lewis family, Tottenham’s owners, to offer Paratici a permanent role, valuing his knowledge of the squad and recruitment skills.

Paratici, who has been a consultant since his 2023 resignation due to a 30-month FIFA ban (lifted in July 2025), is reportedly undecided about returning full-time, especially after Daniel Levy’s departure as chairman in September 2025, as their close alliance was a key factor in his initial agreement to return.

Despite interest from other clubs, including Premier League rivals and Middle Eastern teams, Venkatesham’s advocacy and their mutual respect make Tottenham a likely destination, though no final decision has been confirmed.

Arda Güler’s future at Real Madrid has once again attracted attention from top European clubs as the January transfer window approaches. José Mourinho recently described Arda as a player with a great personality and exceptional quality.

Güler is seen as a Long-term project

However, sources close to the club insist that Real Madrid have no intention of selling their young star. After overcoming early-season injuries, Arda has reached full fitness and is satisfied with the minutes he’s received in recent weeks.

The coaching staff continue to monitor his development closely and views him as a long-term project. Arda himself is content with his role in Madrid and committed to his growth within the club.

Still, several elite European sides remain attentive to his situation. The Boy Hotspur’s Substack understands that Tottenham sent scouts to watch Arda live in La Liga matches since the start of the season. Arsenal, in particular, have maintained a long-standing interest in the Turkish international. Mikel Arteta’s side is still evaluating the possibility of bringing him in, having considered a move last season.

Arda is aware that Jude Bellingham’s return from injury will intensify competition for starting roles, but he is unfazed by the challenge. He is determined to seize the opportunities presented to him and continue carving out a meaningful role at the Bernabéu.

Tottenham interest continues as speculation mounts

Tottenham’s interest in Güler dates back to at least the January 2024 transfer window, with reports suggesting they saw his versatility as a boost to their midfield, especially given the inconsistent performances of players like James Maddison.

A loan deal was considered a possibility, though Real Madrid’s stance has since hardened, with sources indicating that the club views Güler as a key part of their future and is not willing to sell him permanently.

In summary, while Tottenham are keen on Güler and have been linked with a potential loan or permanent transfer, Real Madrid’s reluctance to let him go and his improving situation at the club make a move uncertain at this stage.

From a financial standpoint, Real Madrid has placed no price tag on Arda, as he is not on the market. The club regard him as a key investment—both athletically and strategically—for the future.

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve their attacking unit, and they have identified Etta Eyong as a target.

The 21-year-old has done quite well since joining Levante, and he has seven goal contributions in seven La Liga games.

Etta Eyong would improve Spurs

He can operate anywhere across the front three, and he could prove to be an excellent addition. As per Fichajes, Spurs will compete with Manchester United and Chelsea for the player. The 21-year-old is on the radar of all three Premier League clubs.

Levante will not want to lose a player of his talent any time soon, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops. He has a long-term contract at the Spanish club until 2029, and they are under no pressure to sanction his departure any time soon. Tottenham will have to pay a significant amount of money in order to convince them.

They could use more cutting-edge in the final third, and the 21-year-old would be a long-term addition.

Premier League move could tempt Eyong

The Cameroonian International could be tempted to move to the Premier League. It would be a huge opportunity for him, and he will look to prove himself at the highest level.

Regular football in England could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his potential. The African has shown his quality in La Liga, and he has the attributes to thrive in England as well. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get the deal across the line.

They have the finances to pay a premium for him, and it will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official proposal. Convincing the player to join the club will not be difficult for them. They are a big club and they have recently won a major trophy. They have quality players and a quality manager at their disposal. The African will be tempted to join them.
