The Boy Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on the Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Signing a new striker was a top priority for Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur heading into the summer transfer window. They were involved in long-drawn negotiations with Bournemouth and eventually struck a deal to sign Dominic Solanke in a club-record deal worth £65 million.

While the former Liverpool striker’s arrival significantly bolsters their attack, Postecoglou’s team are still on the lookout for ways to add more quality to their attack. According to Fichajes, the North London club are interested in the services of Dominic Calvert-Lewin who could leave Everton at the end of the season with his contract running out.

The 27-year-old striker was linked with a move away from the Toffees throughout the summer. But, he ended up staying at the club. While the Merseyside club will be keen on extending his stay with his deal running out in less than 10 months, the player could push for a move away in search of a new challenge elsewhere.

Tottenham could provide an exciting opportunity for the English international to compete at the highest level. With Richarlison struggling for consistency, Calvert-Lewin could compete with Solanke for a place in the starting XI. His arrival could help Spurs take the next step and it could help them challenge the best teams in the country.

Given the amount of experience Calvert-Lewin has of playing in the English top flight, he could be a sensational signing for the North London club. With the 27-year-old potentially available on a free transfer, Spurs won’t want to miss out on the opportunity.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma wasted no time returning to London after sustaining an injury during Mali’s AFCON qualifier against Eswatini, where he had opened the scoring.

Desperate to impress manager Ange Postecoglou, Bissouma quickly flew back for an injury assessment, according to London World.

With the crucial North London derby against Arsenal just days away, early reports suggest that Bissouma could be sidelined for at least three weeks, dealing a significant blow to Tottenham’s midfield.

He has been in fantastic form recently, finding the back of the net in both of Mali’s international fixtures during the break. Last month, he also scored for Tottenham in their dominant 4-0 victory over Everton, with a stunning shot from outside the box.

Since joining Spurs from Brighton, the Mali international has worked hard to establish himself as a key player. Last season, he featured in 28 matches, playing every game he was available for, highlighting the trust Postecoglou places in him.

His energy and presence in midfield have become crucial to the team’s structure, and his absence will be keenly felt if the injury keeps him out for an extended period.

With a contract running until 2026, Bissouma is set to play a pivotal role in Tottenham’s future. Postecoglou will undoubtedly be hoping for a swift recovery as Spurs aim to compete for domestic and European titles this season, with Bissouma’s contributions vital to their ambitions.

Tottenham Hotspur left-back Sergio Reguilon could be left on the sidelines if he fails to secure a move before the Turkish Super Lig transfer window closes.

According to GiveMeSport, Spurs are eager to offload the Spanish international, with interest reportedly coming from Fenerbahce.

Manager Ange Postecoglou has made it clear that Reguilon is not part of his plans at Spurs, with Destiny Udogie firmly established as the club’s first-choice left-back following impressive performances last season.

Reguilon has already been excluded from Tottenham’s matchday squad for the first three Premier League games this season, signalling that his future likely lies away from North London.

Reguilon joined Spurs in 2020 from Real Madrid for a €30 million fee and initially showed promise. However, he has since struggled to cement a regular starting position due to managerial changes and inconsistent form.

With time running out, a move to Fenerbahce could be the key to salvaging his career, offering him the playing time he needs.

Should a transfer fail to materialize, Reguilon may find himself frozen out of Tottenham’s squad until at least January when the winter transfer window opens.

As the window deadline looms, Reguilon’s chances of securing a move and regular playing time this season are hanging in the balance.

A move to Fenerbahce or another interested club could be the lifeline he needs to rejuvenate his career.

Danny Rose believes that Mauricio Pochettino may one day return to manage Tottenham Hotspur again.

The North London club might not have had the best of starts in the 2024/25 season but Ange Postecoglou has done a great job since taking charge in the summer of 2023. He has got them playing an attacking and attractive brand of football and given the kind of signings they have made, Spurs are expected to take the next step under the Australian manager in the new season.

Everything seems to be going in the right direction but former Spurs defender Danny Rose has claimed that they could make a surprise managerial appointment as he feels Mauricio Pochettino could return to manage the North London club. The Argentine manager who helped establish Spurs as one of the title contenders and helped them make it to the final of the Champions League during his spell from 2014 to 2019 could soon be back at his former club.

While speaking on the In The Zone podcast, Rose said via Football London: “I definitely thought that pre-Chelsea, [Mauricio] Pochettino could return to Tottenham,”

“I don’t think that him going to Chelsea for a year hinders that happening again in the future. Although it’s another four years until the next World Cup and hopefully, he’s going to see it out with managing the USA.

“Of course, anything can happen in the next four years but before he went to Chelsea, I thought it was nailed on that he probably would have gone to Spurs before Ange. I still believe that he will return to Tottenham as manager one day.”

Following a successful time at Tottenham, the Argentine manager had a spell at Paris Saint-Germain before taking charge of rival London club Chelsea. Rose feels Pochettino’s one-year-long spell at the Blues is unlikely to have any impact on him potentially returning to the North London club.

While he has recently taken charge of the USA national team and is expected to be around to lead them to the next World Cup, anything could happen in the next years. Rose strongly believes the Argentine manager who is very popular among Tottenham fans will be back leading his former club in the future.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly leading the race to sign Lille striker Jonathan David, according to a report from Tutto Juve.

Spurs are positioned in the ‘front row’ for the highly sought-after Canadian international, alongside Arsenal and Newcastle United.

David, who has been linked with several top clubs during the recent summer transfer window, is now in the final year of his contract at Lille after failing to secure a move away, making him an appealing free-agent target next summer.

While Juventus are also said to be keeping tabs on the striker, Premier League clubs like Tottenham are seen as more likely destinations due to their financial strength.

Spurs, who recently strengthened their attack with the £65 million record signing of Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth, remain interested in adding a player of David’s quality, especially on a free transfer.

Manager Ange Postecoglou already has Brazilian forward Richarlison as another option in his attack, but David’s goal-scoring prowess and versatility would further enhance Tottenham’s offensive depth.

Last season, David’s outstanding performances caught the eye of several European clubs. He netted 35 goal contributions (26 goals and provided nine assists) in 47 appearances for Lille, proving his consistency and impact on the field. (Transfermarkt)

As Spurs aim to compete on both domestic and European stages, securing a talent like David could be a strategic move. Tottenham fans will be eager to see how the situation unfolds as competition for the 24-year-old striker heats up next summer.

Tottenham Hotspur were interested in signing the Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez.

The Hungarian international has made quite a name for himself following a move to the Premier League in the summer of 2023. In his debut season for Bournemouth, the young full-back featured in 33 matches and impressed one and all with his consistent performances.

It has resulted in a significant amount of interest in his services with Arsenal being one of the leading candidates to sign him. Arsenal wanted to sign him along with Manchester United earlier this summer and they would have faced competition from rivals Tottenham Hotspur as revealed by Dean Jones on GMS.

The North London club already have Destiny Udogie and Sergio Reguilón in their squad. But, they were interested in the 20-year-old full-back as they look to prepare for the long run. It will be interesting to see if they decide to return for Kerkez in the near future.

Udogie is the preferred first choice for Ange Postecoglou. But, Reguilon is not a part of his plans and they have been looking to get him off their books. While Ben Davies prefers playing in the heart of the defence, he is well capable of starting out wide on the flank. But, the Welsh international is already 31 and Spurs want to bring in someone who can compete with Udogie for a place in the starting XI.

The North London club have registered their interest in the young full-back but they are not going to find it easy to acquire his services as they could face competition from Arsenal, Manchester United as well as Aston Villa. Meanwhile, the Cherries are ready to negotiate his departure but they want £42 million to sanction his departure amidst interest from some of the biggest English clubs.

Former Tottenham left-back Danny Rose recently shed light on a less glamorous aspect of his time with the England national team, revealing that Spurs players were often mocked by their international teammates over how little they were paid by Tottenham.

Reflecting on his experiences, Rose shared that some of his England colleagues would poke fun at the relatively lower wages that Tottenham players earned compared to those at other clubs.

Despite Spurs regularly competing at the top of the Premier League, players from teams further down the table, such as West Brom, were reportedly earning more.

Rose also explained that Tottenham’s win bonuses were structured in a way that required the team to win by a few goals for players to receive the full reward.

He has been vocal about these frustrations in the past but now believes the club’s pay structure has significantly improved.

Speaking on the In The Zone podcast, Rose commented:

“England teammates would laugh about how much Spurs paid us. I remember one season where West Brom were fighting relegation while we were near the top, and some of their players were on more than what we were on. That wasn’t right.

“With Spurs and win bonuses, you had to win by at least a couple of goals to get a bonus. At the time, I don’t regret saying anything about it because it was the truth, but now I think the lads are being paid appropriately.”

Rose, who made 214 appearances for Tottenham over a 13-year spell, also recalled his career-defining moment—a stunning debut goal against Arsenal in 2010, a thunderous volley that immediately endeared him to Spurs fans.

Despite injury setbacks and several loan moves, Rose remained an essential part of Tottenham’s defence, featuring in key matches, including the 2019 Champions League final against Liverpool.

Tottenham Hotspur turned down multiple loan offers with an option to buy for their rising star Alfie Devine, as revealed by journalist Alasdair Gold.

Devine, who eventually joined Belgian Pro League side Westerlo on a season-long loan, had attracted interest from several clubs proposing deals that included a purchase clause.

However, Spurs were unwilling to entertain those offers, viewing Devine as an important part of the club’s future.

Gold highlighted that Tottenham’s management insisted on a straight loan deal without any option to buy, reflecting their belief in the 20-year-old’s long-term potential.

The club is confident that Devine can evolve into a crucial player for Spurs in the years ahead, hence their refusal to consider a permanent exit. Speaking on his YouTube channel, the club’s correspondent stated:

“Straight loan, no option to buy. I think some clubs, from what I understand, were putting in bids for him of loan with an option to buy, but Spurs weren’t looking at that because they believe he can be something pretty decent as time goes on.”

Since joining Tottenham from Wigan Athletic in 2020, Devine has shown promise, making history as the youngest player and goalscorer in the club’s history during his senior debut in the FA Cup.

His performances across loan spells at Port Vale and Plymouth Argyle last season further underscored his potential, where he contributed three goals and six assists in 43 appearances.

The decision to loan Devine to Westerlo for the 2024–25 season is seen as a chance for him to continue his development in a competitive league.

Tottenham remain keenly invested in his progress, hopeful that his experience abroad will prepare him for a significant role in the first team upon his return to North London.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Italian international midfielder Samuele Ricci.

The 23-year-old has attracted the attention of European clubs with his performances for Torino. The Italian outfit values him at £25 million and Spurs are keeping tabs on him ahead of a potential move.

According to HITC, the North London club scouted him in action during the UEFA Nations League yesterday against Israel. They could certainly use more quality in the middle of the park and it remains to be seen whether Spurs follow up on their interest with an official proposal to sign the player.

Tottenham sanctioned the departures of Oliver Skipp and Pierre Emile Hojbjerg earlier this summer and signing a quality young defensive midfielder would be ideal. The 23-year-old will help shield the back four and he will help Tottenham control the tempo of the game from the deep as well. He has been compared to the Spanish international midfielder Rodri because of stylistic similarities.

The Italian international has the potential to develop into a quality player with the right guidance and regular football in England could accelerate his development. Tottenham could nurture him into a key player in the coming seasons. The reported asking price seems reasonable for a player of his potential potential in today’s market. Spurs can certainly afford to pay up and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.

The 23-year-old midfielder could easily justify the investment in the coming seasons if he manages to adapt to English football.

Tottenham Hotspur didn’t consider selling Cristian Romero in the summer despite interest from European heavyweights.

After making a name for himself at Atalanta, Cristian Romero made the move to the North London club in the summer of 2019. He has only gone from strength to strength over the years and has established himself as one of the best defenders in the Premier League.

His work hasn’t gone unnoticed and multiple top clubs knocked on the doors of Spurs during the recently concluded transfer window. But, according to Gastón Edul, Tottenham made it clear that he is not for sale. They didn’t even bother to put a price tag on the Argentine World Cup winner who is considered to be an integral part of their plans moving ahead.

Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid were all keen on his signature as they looked to reinforce their backline. The 26-year-old could significantly bolster their defence and they were ready to go big to add him to their squad. But Spurs didn’t want to negotiate his departure.

The Argentine centre-back is considered to be one of the pillars of their new project under Ange Postecoglou and they want him around for as long as possible. While Spurs do not want to sell him irrespective of the price, the interested clubs are expected to return next summer when Romero will only have two years left on his deal at the North London club. His future might depend on his willingness to pen down a new deal and commit his long-term future to the club.
