The Boy Hotspur

Fabrizio Romano claims Tottenham are interested in signing Eberechi Eze and Pedro Neto as they look for attacking reinforcements.

It is not long before the new season kick starts but Tottenham still have a lot of work to do in the transfer window. Daniel Levy and Ange Postecoglou want to add more firepower to their attack before the transfer deadline on August 30 and according to Fabrizio Romano, Eberechi Eze and Pedro Neto are two players who are on their wishlist.

The North London club coped well without signing a Harry Kane replacement last summer.

Postecoglou used every resource at his disposal and ensured they didn’t suffer in the absence of their record goal scorer. But, now the focus is on bolstering their attack as a whole. They want to bring in players who can share the goal-scoring load and contribute to other aspects of the game.

While speaking to GIVEMESPORT, the Italian transfer expert said: “Tottenham are exploring the market and are exploring several possibilities at the moment. Still, no name is imminent, but there is interest in several players, like Eze at Crystal Palace and Pedro Neto at Wolves, who has many admirers in the Premier League.

“Tottenham want to do something in the offensive positions and I think it could be soon because their idea is to add one more player for Ange Postecoglou.”

Romano makes it quite clear that Spurs are still on the lookout for the right fit and they are exploring all the possibilities at the moment. While they do not have a definitive target, Crystal Palace’s Eze and Wolves’ Pedro Neto are two forwards they admire and would love to have at their disposal.

Eze can cover for James Maddison and even feature out wide on either flank which could be a huge boost for Postecoglou. But, the Palace ace has a £68 million release clause which won’t make things easy.

When fully fit, Neto is a delight to watch. He prefers playing out wide on the right but is equally effective on the left as well as a number 10. The Portuguese international is another player who can surely take the Spurs attack to the next level but even he would cost in excess of £60 million.

The idea is to add another star forward before the window closes to give Postecoglou enough resources to finish inside the top four. They are interested in Eze as well as Neto but signing either of them won’t be easy as multiple top clubs want to acquire their services.

AC Milan are on the verge of securing the services of Tottenham full-back Emerson Royal.

The Italian giants have been working very hard on a potential deal to sign Emerson Royal for weeks now. Talks between the two clubs had reached a standstill as Milan were looking for a bargain deal but Spurs were not ready to lower their demands despite being open to his departure.

While it did look like a potential transfer had collapsed, Milan recently reignited their interest in the Brazilian full-back and according to Manuele Baiocchini, they are within touching distance of the 25-year-old’s signature. There is only a €5 million difference in valuation of the two clubs which is expected to be taken care of in the coming days.

While speaking on Sky Sports, Baiocchini said via MilanNews24: “Milan is getting very close to Emerson Royal. Tottenham is asking for 20 million while Milan has reached 15 plus bonuses”.

Emerson Royal was an important part of Tottenham’s first team prior to the arrival of Ange Postecoglou at the club. Since the Australian manager has taken charge, the Brazilian full-back has gone down the pecking order. While he was involved in 24 matches last season, the majority of those appearances came because of an injury crisis at the back.

Going forward, he is not a part of their plans and with two years left on his deal, Tottenham have set an asking price of €20 million. Milan are getting closer to his signature as they have reached the €15 million mark plus bonuses. With the economic gap between the two clubs at just €5 million, there is a lot of optimism that this deal will eventually go through. With the 25-year-old keen on joining Milan, an agreement with Tottenham is the only thing that stands in the way of this transfer.

Tottenham continue to be linked with Lille striker Jonathan David.

David is a name they were linked with a lot in the beginning of the summer but reports eventually faded recently.

However, it appears that the interest from Spurs has not gone anywhere, with the club still very much keen on signing him.

Recent updates suggest that significant progress has been made in their pursuit.

According to the latest from Football Insider, Tottenham are in talks with Lille regarding David’s transfer.

Lille president Olivier Létang has reportedly indicated that the forward can leave for approximately £20 million, making him a highly appealing option for Spurs, who are eager to enhance their attacking lineup.

The combination of a reduced fee and David’s goal-scoring abilities makes him an ideal Daniel Levy signing. In fact, Ben Jacobs in a recent podcast described it as a ‘Daniel Levy deal‘.

David’s current contract with Lille is set to expire next summer, which has resulted in a reduced transfer fee.

This discount presents an opportunity for the Lilywhites to find a viable replacement for Harry Kane, who has left a substantial void in the team’s frontline.

Last season, David demonstrated his attacking prowess by scoring 26 goals and providing nine assists in 47 appearances across all competitions.

His outstanding performance highlights his quality in the final third, an area where Tottenham has been seeking improvement under manager Ange Postecoglou.

Additionally, David’s impressive speed, clocked at 32.60 km/h, adds a valuable element to Spurs’ attacking strategy.

The 24-year-old has also delivered strong performances on the international stage, scoring 28 goals in 54 appearances for the Canadian national team.

His arrival would not only address the gap left by Kane but also significantly boost the team’s offensive capabilities for the upcoming season.

If Spurs are successful in securing his services, he would become the first marquee signing of the summer for them.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou appears to have all but confirmed the club’s 4th signing in Min-hyuk Yang, without naming the player.

The club are on the verge of completing a deal for 18-year-old winger from Gangwon FC, as recently reported by Fabrizio Romano.

The young South Korean talent has been identified by Spurs’ scouts as a player with significant potential.

Manager Ange Postecoglou recently spoke about the potential signing ahead of the pre-season tour match against Vissel Kobe.

He emphasised the club’s ongoing interest in diverse talent pools, including the K League, which he became familiar with during his tenure at Celtic.

Postecoglou acknowledged the quality and impact of Korean players in European football, particularly highlighting Tottenham’s own Son Heung-min.

He praised Son not only as an exceptional player but also as a remarkable individual and club captain, underscoring his importance to the team.

Yang Min-hyuk, who is the youngest goalscorer in K League 1 history, has had an impressive campaign, scoring seven goals and providing three assists in 24 appearances.

Tottenham reportedly plan to allow Yang to stay with Gangwon FC until January, allowing him to develop before moving to England.

This potential signing aligns with Spurs’ strategy of identifying and nurturing young talent. Postecoglou’s comments reflect his confidence in the scouting process and the club’s commitment to enhancing its squad with promising players worldwide.

The 58-year-old head coach hinted at the club’s broad search for talent but remained diplomatic, not revealing much detail despite the advanced stages of the deal.

Postecoglou said (as quoted by Football London):

“Yeah, again I’m well aware of the quality of the K League. When I was at Celtic we were looking to bring over at least a couple of Korean players at the time and I think they’ve brought a couple over.

“Again they’ve made a fantastic impact in Europe, a lot of Korean players, none bigger and none better than our own Sonny. He’s just an outstanding player and an outstanding person. He’s the captain of our club and he’s just an outstanding individual, we’re super happy to have him at our football club.

“So yes, we’ll be looking far and wide for players and as you rightly said, it is difficult for me to discuss.”

As the move nears completion, Spurs fans can anticipate the addition of Yang Min-hyuk, who could be the next Son Heung-min in North London.

The transfer of Emerson Royal to Milan is at the risk of collapsing with talks coming to a hold.

He has been linked with a move away all summer with previous reports suggesting that the player has agreed personal terms with the Italian side.

However the two clubs have failed to reach an agreement over the fee.

The latest report from TEAMtalk states that after the Lilywhites rejected a €15 million offer from AC Milan a few weeks ago, there have been no subsequent contact between the two clubs.

The report adds that Milan’s interest in the Brazilian right-back persists, and that the Italian club may revisit negotiations with Spurs in the coming weeks.

Tottenham are firm on their valuation of Emerson, demanding €25 million for his transfer.

Meanwhile, Milan are also considering other options, such as Girona’s Arnau Martinez, suggesting they are exploring more budget-friendly alternatives.

Under new manager Ange Postecoglou, Emerson has found it challenging to secure a regular starting spot.

Last season, he made 22 Premier League appearances, starting only 11 games. Tottenham is keen to move Emerson on as he does not align with Postecoglou’s vision for the team.

With Milan considering cheaper alternatives, Spurs must stay proactive in negotiations to ensure a deal that meets their valuation. The outcome of these discussions is critical as the Lilywhites aim to offload Emerson and potentially reinvest in the squad.

As the summer transfer window progresses, Tottenham fans will hope for a resolution that benefits the club and supports their goals ahead of the upcoming season.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Crystal Palace attacker Eberechi Eze.

The 26-year-old is expected to be on the move this summer and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can win the race for his signature. According to Fabrízio Romano on Give Me Sport, Tottenham are in contact with the player’s agent and it will be interesting to see if they come forward with an official proposal.

Romano said: “Man City had Eze on their list already last summer, while Tottenham have been in contact with his agents since February – the interest is absolutely still there but again, no bids yet.”

Eze scored 11 goals in all competitions last season and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for the North London club. He is capable of operating as the central attacking midfielder as well as a winger. He will add goals, creativity and flair to the side in the final third. His arrival will also allow Tottenham to rotate players like James Maddison more often.

The Crystal Palace attacker is likely to be tempted to join Tottenham if there is a concrete proposal on the table. It will be a step up in his career and he would get to compete in European football with them. In addition to that, Tottenham have a talented squad and they could easily push for trophies in the coming seasons.

Spurs need to improve their squad this summer if they are serious about pushing for trophies. Someone like Eze will certainly help them improve going forward. He is well-settled in the Premier League and he could make an instant impact at the North London club as well.

Tottenham Hotspur continue to be linked with a move for Federico Chiesa from Juventus.

The 26-year-old winger is expected to be on the move this summer and the North London club are hoping to secure his signature. According to a report from Tuttosport via IlBiancoNero, Tottenham are now ‘ready to present a first official offer’ for the player.

The Italian international has impressed with club and country over the years and he should prove to be a quality acquisition for Tottenham. He was expected to develop into a top-class player after a breakthrough Euro 2021 campaign with Italy. However, injuries halted his progress. Chiesa seems to have gotten over his injury problems now, and he’s slowly getting back to his best once again.

The 26-year-old scored 10 goals in all competitions last season and his numbers are likely to improve when he is playing in an attacking set-up like Tottenham.

The London outfit need more quality and depth in the wide areas, and Chiesa will add goals, pace, flair to the side. The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be quite exciting for him and it remains to be seen whether he can hit the ground running in English football.

The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be quite exciting for the player and he will look to try out a new challenge. Chiesa is at the peak of his powers and he will be determined to prove his worth at Spurs.

They will look to push for trophies next season and someone like Chiesa could make a big difference for them in the final third.

Tottenham attacker Bryan Gil is close to joining Spanish side Girona.

He is not part of Ange’s plans with the club leaving him out of the pre-season squad as well.

It was recently reported that La Liga side Girona are interested in signing him and have opened talks with Spurs regarding a move.

The Italian transfer expert has now shared the latest on the transfer, claiming that the player has his heart set on a move to Girona and has agreed personal terms.

The player’s representatives have told Spurs that the player wants the move at all cost.

Talks are ongoing with the club hoping to strike a deal soon.

Romano shared the following update on X:

“Understand Bryan Gil has got his heart set on a move to Girona and personal terms have been agreed. Player’s camp informed Tottenham that Bryan wants to join Girona at all costs. Negotiations between clubs over deal formula, talks still ongoing.”

Gil joined the club from Sevilla with a big reputation but has failed to reach his potential at Spurs.

Despite successful loan spells at Valencia and Sevilla, he has failed to impress any of the Spurs managers he has played under.

Last season, he made only 11 Premier League appearances, amassing just 201 minutes on the pitch.

The club are keen on cashing in on him and the player wants to leave as well to revive his career.

All parties will be looking forward to seeing a deal completed as soon as possible.

Recent speculation has linked British business executive Amanda Staveley with a possible investment in Tottenham Hotspur, sparking considerable interest in the football community.

Staveley, known for her crucial role in the Saudi Public Investment Fund’s acquisition of Newcastle United in October 2021, is reportedly eyeing her next venture in football.

Speaking to TBR Football, financial expert Kieran Maguire provided some insight into the situation.

Maguire suggested that while Staveley’s name has been linked with Spurs, the specifics of her potential involvement remain unclear.

Despite her prominent role in previous high-profile deals, Maguire noted that Staveley’s financial resources might be constrained.

The recent sale of her stake in Newcastle, primarily to settle a loan used for the initial acquisition, indicates that her immediate cash reserves might be limited.

Kieran Maguire, a football finance lecturer at Liverpool University, asserted that Staveley is more likely to pursue a smaller equity stake in Tottenham rather than a full takeover.

Her investment strategy may focus on acquiring a minor share and flipping it for a profit in the short to medium term, rather than committing to a long-term stake.

This approach aligns with her historical investment patterns.

Maguire said:

“Amanda Staveley’s name has been linked with potential investment, but how much free cash she has is open to question.

She sold her stake in Newcastle to the Reuben Brothers, but that was effectively to repay the loan that they gave her to buy the shares originally.

There is likely to be a profit on that, but that does also suggest that she doesn’t necessarily have cash assets.

Hers are probably in other investments. A small stake in Spurs, flipping that in a few years’ time would be the M.O she is most likely to follow, rather than looking for a long-term investment.

It is unlikely to involve a position on the board given the dominance of Daniel Levy at Spurs, but it could be an investment with a view of getting a return in the short to medium term as a result of the club’s consistent growth.”

Although it is unlikely that Staveley would secure a position on Tottenham’s board, her investment could leverage the club’s ongoing growth.

Spurs have previously engaged in takeover discussions with other parties, such as the US-based consortium MSP Sports Capital.

As Staveley evaluates her next move, the Lilywhites remain a significant potential target for future investment.

AC Milan have reignited their interest in the services of Tottenham full-back Emerson Royal.

Emerson Royal still has two years left on his deal with the North London club but he doesn’t have a future there under Ange Postecoglou. The former Celtic manager doesn’t count on the full-back and following the arrival of the versatile Archie Gray who can also feature as a right-back, Spurs are ready to part ways with the Brazilian international.

AC Milan have been working on a potential transfer for some time now. Negotiations between the two parties did reach a standstill but according to a report from Milan News, the Italian giants have revived their interest and they are ready to meet the demands of Tottenham Hotspur.

Milan had identified Emerson Royal as their priority target for the right-back position in an attempt to ensure Paulo Fonseca has everything that he needs for his system to work. While they were keen on signing the Brazilian defender, Milan had no intentions of meeting Tottenham’s demands and they were looking to strike a deal for around €10 million.

While Emerson is not a part of their plans moving ahead, Spurs would only let him leave on their terms. As a result, the talks had stalled and a move looked highly unlikely. However, Milan have returned to the negotiation table as they feel the Tottenham full-back is the right man for the job.

Emerson Royal is very close to joining Milan who have decided to satisfy the demands of the North London club, or at least get closer to them. The player’s desire to play for the Italian outfit has played a big part in it. While it still depends on the final fee, the move looks much closer than it was weeks back.
