As the transfer window approaches its final hours, former Tottenham Hotspur scout Bryan King has urged the club make a decisive move for Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman.

This follows recent speculation that Spurs are contemplating entering the race for the French international, with other Premier League clubs also reportedly interested.

King, who has a long history with Spurs, believes that Coman could be a significant asset to the team, particularly if the transfer fee is reasonable.

Speaking to Tottenham News, King emphasised that the player’s experience with a successful club like Bayern Munich could be invaluable for Tottenham as they aim to challenge for major honours under manager Ange Postecoglou.

He highlighted that Coman’s winning mentality and track record at the highest level could provide a crucial boost to Ange Postecoglou’s squad as they look to challenge for major titles.

King said:

“I’d have sooner brought Coman in than Timo Werner. He has been playing with a successful team in Germany. If he is available, and it isn’t going to be silly money, then I would certainly look to bring him in.”

“A good squad is a squad that will hopefully win something, and Coman has that experience. Therefore, it will be interesting to see if that gets done.”

Coman’s career achievements are remarkable. He has won two Ligue 1 titles with Paris Saint-Germain, one Serie A title with Juventus, and an impressive eight Bundesliga titles with Bayern Munich.

Additionally, he was part of Bayern’s 2020 UEFA Champions League-winning squad, scoring the only goal in the final against his former club PSG.

Despite being hampered by injuries last season—missing 21 games—Coman still managed to score five goals and provide three assists in 27 appearances across all competitions. His overall record at Bayern Munich stands at 64 goals and 66 assists in 296 appearances, showcasing his consistency and quality. (Transfermarkt)

The addition of Coman would significantly enhance Tottenham’s attacking options. As they continue to build a competitive squad, this potential signing could offer a crucial boost to Postecoglou’s side, particularly as they look to re-establish themselves as title contenders.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has also hinted at a potential surprise involving Coman before the window closes, further fuelling speculation.

Spurs supporters will be watching closely to see if this high-profile signing materializes in the final hours of the transfer window.

Whether Tottenham can secure Coman’s services remains to be seen, but the prospect of adding a player of his calibre to their ranks is certainly an exciting one for the club and its fans.

Tottenham Hotspur were reportedly keen on signing Federico Chiesa this summer.

However, a report from TBR Football claims that the 26-year-old Italian international snubbed the opportunity to join the North London club in favour of a move to Liverpool.

The winger turned down approaches from Arsenal and Chelsea as well before completing a €15 million (£13m) move to the Reds.

Chiesa will look to prove himself in the Premier League with Liverpool and it remains to be seen whether the Italian can hit the ground running. Meanwhile, Spurs have strengthened their attacking unit with the signings of Dominic Solanke and Wilson Odobert. They will hope the two players can help them improve.

Even though Chiesa has turned them down, they have adequate depth in the attack and Ange Postecoglou will be happy with the options at his disposal.

It will be interesting to see if Spurs can do well this season and push for Champions League qualification. They will be expected to do well in the domestic trophies as well. Spurs will compete in the UEFA Europa League and they have the means to do well in the competition as well.

Tottenham showed great improvement under Postecoglou last season and they will look to build on that this season. They have brought in quality players and the fans will expect impressive performances. If their new signings manage to hit the ground running, Spurs could be a real force this season.

Giovani Lo Celso is poised to leave Tottenham after struggling for playing time under Ange Postecoglou.

Lo Celso’s future has been uncertain since the start of the transfer window. Despite playing a part in Argentina’s Copa America win, the attacking midfielder is not in plans of Tottenham going ahead and according to a report from Estadio Deportivo, the Argentine international is all set to part ways with the club on the back of Ange Postecoglou’s unfulfilled promise from last season.

Lo Celso was expected to be on the move last summer after having spent 18 months out on loan but the Australian manager wanted him around and promised him enough minutes. But, he couldn’t deliver as the 28-year-old was involved in 24 matches but he was on the pitch for less than 600 minutes.

After having struggled for minutes last season, Lo Celso is pushing hard to leave the club. With his contract running out, Tottenham are also ready to sanction his departure. But, nothing concrete has happened so far.

Meanwhile, he has been left out of the Spurs squad for the opening fixtures of the season despite being fully fit and as confirmed by those close to the player, the club and the player are no longer on the same page.

While he was linked with a move to Aston Villa, it hasn’t gone through and according to the report, the Argentine has practically decided that his time in England is over. He is on the lookout for an ideal destination for himself but is not looking to return to his homeland yet. He wants to continue in Europe with Spain being the preferred destination.

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing to offer a new five-year contract to young talent Mikey Moore, according to club insider John Wenham.

Moore, who turns 18 next year, is expected to receive this new deal as soon as he reaches the milestone.

Mikey Moore, regarded as one of the top talents in the country and possibly the best at the U17 level, has already made a significant impact at Spurs.

Last season, he was a standout performer in the U18 Premier League, making 22 goal contributions in 12 games (14 goals and 8 assists).

Having joined Tottenham as a U9 player, Moore has rapidly advanced through the ranks, playing key roles in the U17 and U18 teams.

His contributions were instrumental in securing league titles for Tottenham’s youth sides during the 2022-23 season.

Under the guidance of manager Ange Postecoglou, Moore has been involved with the first team and had a notable pre-season, scoring six goals and assisting two.

Wenham believes that the club is already preparing to offer him a new five-year contract upon his 18th birthday, acknowledging his potential and importance to the club’s future.

Wenham told Tottenham News:

“They will have a brand-new contract offer ready, without question.”

“I imagine that as soon as he turns 18, they will instantly put a five-year contract on the table. They know he is the country’s best 17-year-old.”

“I can see him making a serious impact at first-team level this season, especially in the UEFA Europa League. He is the sort of player that I imagine once he gets his chance, it will be very difficult to take him out of the limelight.”

“Fans, pundits and fellow players will all realise how incredible he is, and that he needs to be involved. Therefore, it would be hard to drop him back in with the Under-21s.”

“When he does get the chance to play, he will establish himself. It is just a matter of when, not if.”

Wenham predicts that Moore will make a serious impact at the first-team level this season, particularly in the UEFA Europa League.

His talent is expected to become increasingly recognised, making it difficult to drop him back to the Under-21s once he gets his chance

Securing Moore on a long-term deal would be a significant move for Tottenham, reflecting their commitment to nurturing their brightest young stars and ensuring their future success.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has been handed a four-match ban from international football.

The ban followed after Bentancur’s involvement in a post-match altercation during Uruguay’s Copa America semifinal against Colombia earlier this summer.

According to a report from The Sun, the incident unfolded after Uruguay’s 1-0 defeat to Colombia.

The altercation reportedly started when several Uruguayan players confronted Colombian fans who were allegedly targeting the section of the stadium where the players’ families were seated.

The Uruguayan players rush to protect their family members and in the midst of chaos, Bentancur is said to have thrown a glass bottle, which unintentionally struck a fellow Uruguayan supporter.

Bentancur is not the only one facing disciplinary action. Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez received a five-match ban for entering the crowd to protect his loved ones.

Additionally, Mathias Olivera, Ronaldo Araujo, and Jose Gimenez were each handed three-match suspensions.

Fortunately for Tottenham, Bentancur’s ban is limited to international fixtures, meaning his availability for club matches remains intact.

This comes as a relief for manager Ange Postecoglou, given Bentancur’s importance to Spurs’ midfield.

Tottenham Hotspur remain active in the transfer market, with Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White becoming a significant target.

According to transfer insider Dean Jones, Spurs are focused on strengthening their midfield, with Gibbs-White high on their list.

Jones highlighted that Tottenham’s interest in Gibbs-White extends beyond his offensive capabilities.

The club envisions him playing a deeper role in midfield, as opposed to a traditional number eight.

Speaking to Ranks FC Podcast, he said:

“One thing I have been told a few times is that they want someone with power from the midfield. Morgan Gibbs-White is someone they like but they like him as more of a number eight breaking out, not as a traditional number eight. They like that and they like Joao Gomes at Wolves.”

Gibbs-White, valued at around €40 million, has attracted Spurs’ attention with his versatility and creativity.

Last season, he played a crucial role for Nottingham Forest, featuring in 37 Premier League games, scoring five goals, and providing 10 assists. Since joining Forest, he has scored 12 and assisted 18 in 82 games across all competitions.

His ability to excel in various attacking roles makes Gibbs-White a strong candidate for manager Ange Postecoglou’s squad.

Tottenham are reportedly keen on making one or two more signings before the transfer window closes, with Gibbs-White potentially adding significant depth and quality to their midfield.

As the transfer deadline approaches, Tottenham fans will be eagerly watching to see if the club can secure Gibbs-White, bolstering their squad for a successful season ahead

Tottenham Hotspur striker Will Lankshear has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.

The 19-year-old is highly rated across England and multiple clubs in the Championship were keen on signing him on loan this summer. According to a report from the Athletic, Tottenham will not let the player leave despite receiving several offers for him.

The 19-year-old will continue at the North London club and he will be involved with the first team. The report states that the young striker has impressed the manager Ange Postecoglou during training with the first team and he is likely to be given opportunities in the cup competitions.

The striker recently signed a long-term contract with the club until 2029, and it remains to be seen whether he will be handed his competitive debut soon.

There is no doubt that the 19-year-old is a prodigious talent with a big future. He will need ample first-team exposure in order to continue his development and fulfil his potential. The fact that Tottenham have rejected several loan offers for him suggests that they rate him highly and they believe that he has a place in the first-team squad.

It will be interesting to see if they can nurture him properly over the next few seasons. He has the attributes to develop into an important first team player for the club. The player will be delighted with the show of faith from the North London club as well and he will look to prove his worth when he is handed an opportunity.

Real Betis are working to sign the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Giovani Lo Celso.

The 28-year-old attacking midfielder has been linked with a move away from the North London club, and the Spanish outfit are prepared to secure his signature before the transfer window closes.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the La Liga outfit are now pushing to sign the Argentine international and the player is expected to leave in the final few days of the transfer window.

Real Betis will replace Nabil Fekir with the Tottenham attacking midfielder. The French international midfielder is heading to Qatari side Al Jazira and Lo Celso will fill the void left by him.

Lo Celso has struggled for regular game time at the London club and he needs to leave in order to play regularly. A move to Real Betis would be ideal for him. He has played for them in the past and he knows the club well. The midfielder is highly rated at the Spanish club as well. He will look to get his career back on track with a return to Spain.

He will add goals, flair, vision and technical ability in the final third. He is capable of slotting into multiple attacking roles as well. If Real Betis can sign him for a reasonable price, the move could look like a bargain.

Spurs are already well-stocked in the attacking areas and they will look to cash in on the player as well. They will look to recoup some money from his sale and free up the wage bill.

Tottenham insider feels club could let 28-year-old utility man ‘leave for free’

John Wenham feels Tottenham could allow outcast Giovani Lo Celso to leave for free.

The North London club have been sensational in the ongoing transfer window. They have added a lot of quality to their squad and are still on the lookout for opportunities. On top of that, Spurs have offloaded quite a few players who were surplus to requirements. But, all is not done yet as the future of Giovani Lo Celso remains undecided.

The owner of Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose, John Wenham feels Tottenham would consider letting the 28-year-old midfielder leave for free as there hasn’t been concrete interest in his services this summer.

While speaking on Tottenham News, Wenham said: “I could see Tottenham allowing him to leave for free.

“Just so that they’re not paying him over £100,000-per-week to sit in the stands, be miserable, and not contribute.

“Since the start of the window, he has been one of the players who I’ve always thought must go. I do still think he will leave before the transfer window shuts.”

The North London club forked out a significant fee to sign the Argentine midfielder from Real Betis. While he has expected to become one of their mainstays, things haven’t gone according to plan. Lo Celso has spent a significant amount of time out on loan. While he was a part of Ange Postecoglou’s first team last season, the Argentine was on the pitch for less than 600 minutes across his 24 outings.

He is not in their plans moving ahead and with his contract running out, Tottenham have been looking for a potential destination for the 28-year-old. But, they haven’t had much success. Since the player earns a massive £100,000-per-week, Wenham feels they will look to get him off their books even if it means allowing him to leave for free.

It won’t make sense to have him around on a massive wage just to sit on the sidelines and be miserable. The owner of Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose feels Lo Celso is one of those players who must leave and he is confident that the Argentine international will be on his way out before the end of the window.

“I just can’t see this transfer happening” – Club insider offers pessimistic update on potential Tottenham transfer

Tottenham Hotspur are unlikely to make a move for Monaco right-back Vanderson before the transfer window closes, according to football journalist John Wenham.

He expressed doubts about the potential signing, suggesting that a pursuit of the Brazilian defender would only make sense if Pedro Porro were to leave the club.

Wenham questioned the rationale behind targeting Vanderson, given Tottenham’s current depth at right-back.

With Porro established as the preferred starter and Djed Spence providing solid backup, Wenham believes there is no urgent need for an additional signing in that position.

In an interview with Tottenham News, Wenham stated:

“If we were looking to sign Vanderson, what does that mean for Djed Spence? I just can’t see this transfer happening if I am honest. I’m very happy with Porro as our starting right-back and Spence as the backup. However, perhaps Vanderson is part of a long-term list, and if Porro was to leave the club at any point, we would then move to sign him.”

Vanderson, a 23-year-old known for his versatility as both a right-back and a right wing-back, has impressed in Ligue 1.

Last season, he made 23 appearances for Monaco, contributing three goals and one assist, showcasing his attacking capabilities.

His contract with the French club runs until June 2027, highlighting his long-term value to Monaco .

Despite Vanderson’s talent, Tottenham seems content with their current options. Pedro Porro has had a promising start to the season, including scoring in Spurs’ opening Premier League game against Leicester City.

Meanwhile, Djed Spence, who had a productive loan spell at Genoa, has been reintegrated into Ange Postecoglou’s squad and featured in both of the club’s league matches this season.

Given the strong performances from both Porro and Spence, signing Vanderson doesn’t appear to align with Tottenham’s immediate needs.

As the transfer window nears its end, Spurs seem poised to stick with their current right-back options rather than pursuing a move for the Monaco defender.
