Tottenham are ready to table an offer worth around €30 million for Federico Chiesa.

Federico Chiesa’s contract with Juventus runs out in 12 months and his future at the Turin-based club has become a big talking point. While there is interest in his services from Italian clubs, Tottenham are also in the mix and according to Gianni Balzarini, the North London club are ready to put forward an offer worth €30 million to acquire his services.

While talking about the Italian international’s future, Balzarini said as quoted by TuttoJuve: “I confirm that Tottenham are interested in Federico Chiesa. That is, Tottenham would be ready to make an offer of around €30m, maybe even a little more, for Federico Chiesa and Juve could practically jump for joy.

“In the sense that it would be a figure that goes beyond the €20-25m that Roma or Napoli offered or could eventually offer.”

Chiesa is expected to be on the move this summer as a new deal doesn’t look like a possibility anymore. While he did have an incredible start to life in Turin, injuries didn’t help his cause. He is only 26 and still has a lot of years left in him, as a result, a move elsewhere could help him return to his best.

Tottenham are quite keen on adding the Italian winger to their squad as they seek more depth out wide on the flanks. Ange Postecoglou needs more options in attack and he is focused on bringing in players who can create as well as score. Chiesa seems to be a great fit for them as he can play anywhere in attack and surely has an eye for goal.

While reports earlier suggested that Juventus’ asking price is around €20-25 million, the Italian journalist has reported that Tottenham could table an offer of around €30 million or even more to strike a deal with the Old Lady who will be delighted if they do get that big a fee for someone can leave for free next summer. The figure should be good enough for them to win the race as Italian clubs AS Roma and Napoli can’t afford to offer more than €20-25 million.

Sky Sports journalist says Tottenham are not pursuing Premier League midfielder despite recent reports

Tottenham are reportedly not interested in signing Scott McTominay.

Last week it was reported that Spurs are plotting a move to hijack a deal for the Manchester United midfielder.

The report claimed that Ange admires the player and that the club are closely tracking the Scottish international, contemplating a bid.

However, Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge, in an update to GiveMeSport, hasclarified that despite recent rumours, Spurs have no plans to pursue McTominay.

Manchester United, under the management of Erik ten Hag, is keen to retain McTominay this summer. The club has already turned down an initial bid from Fulham, who have shown ongoing interest in the 27-year-old Scottish international. United’s refusal to sell reflects their desire to keep McTominay at Old Trafford.

Bridge emphasised that the rumours linking McTominay to Tottenham are unfounded.

While acknowledging McTominay’s capabilities and leadership qualities, he confirmed that Spurs are not considering him as a transfer target at this time.

Bridge said:

“My understanding is that there’s nothing in Scott McTominay rumours at the moment.

“He is a very decent player, and he’s a bit of a leader, but I don’t think Tottenham are in for him as it stands. As we speak, it’s not a player I think Spurs are pursuing.”

McTominay had a standout season, scoring 10 goals and adding three assists in 43 appearances across all competitions, marking his best goalscoring season to date. However, this has not influenced the Lilywhites’ transfer plans.

Tottenham have strengthened their midfield with the additions of Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall this summer. Gray joined the club for a reported fee of around £40 million, while Bergvall signed for a reported £8.5 million.

However, they are expected to further bolster the position with Jacob Ramsey strongly linked with a move.

Tottenham Hotspur maintained their impressive pre-season form with a 5-2 triumph in a behind-closed-doors friendly against a Japan Youth side.

This fixture was part of Spurs’ pre-season tour in Japan and Korea, aiding their momentum building for the forthcoming season.

Following recent victories, including a 5-1 win over Hearts and a 2-0 victory against QPR, Tottenham again showcased their attacking prowess.

According to Lilywhites Rose on X, Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear both scored braces, while last summer’s signing Alejo Veliz also grabbed a goal.

Throughout the pre-season, Moore and Lankshear have consistently performed. Moore now has 5 goal contributions in 4 games.

Moore, who joined Spurs as an under-9, has steadily progressed through the ranks, boasting an impressive record in the U18 Premier League last season with 14 goals and eight assists in just 12 games.

Lankshear also had an outstanding season, scoring 23 goals in 23 games for Tottenham’s U21 team in the recent Premier League 2 campaign. His exceptional performances earned him the league’s Player of the Season award, showcasing his potential to make a significant impact.

These young players’ contributions in pre-season are catching the attention of manager Ange Postecoglou, who might consider them for first-team opportunities in the upcoming campaign.

This 5-2 victory serves as robust preparation for Spurs’ next pre-season match against J1 League side Vissel Kobe on Saturday.

The performance of Tottenham’s future stars promises an exciting season ahead for the Lilywhites as they continue to develop their young talents and build a formidable squad.

Spurs abandon pursuit of Desire Doue to prioritise moves for Premier League duo

Spurs have reportedly now shifted their focus from Rennes’ Desire Doue to prioritising the signing of Premier League duo Pedro Neto and Eberechi Eze.

According to TBR Football, Tottenham initially considered signing Doue, but substantial bids from Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain of €55 million and €60 million, respectively, led the North London club to cool off their interest in him.

Rennes’ high asking price for the talented midfielder has redirected Spurs’ attention to Premier League duo. The report claims that the Lilywhites are now turning attention to Pedro Neto and Eberechi Eze, both of whom possess valuable Premier League experience, which could facilitate a smooth transition and immediate impact at Spurs.

Pedro Neto, currently with Wolves, is expected to be available if a significant offer is made, despite his contract running until June 2027. Last season, Neto scored three goals and provided 11 assists in 24 appearances across the Premier League and FA Cup.

Eberechi Eze, a long-standing target for Spurs, extended his contract with Crystal Palace last November, securing his stay until the summer of 2027. However, Tottenham remain undeterred by his £60 million release clause, with reports suggesting that the club are willing to spend big on him.

Eze’s exceptional performance last season, with 11 goals and four assists in 27 Premier League appearances, highlighted his quality and solidified his status as a primary target for the Lilywhites.

The club are confident in their ability to secure either Eze’s or Neto’s signature despite the competition.

As Tottenham aim to bolster their attacking options, acquiring Neto and Eze would significantly enhance their squad’s depth and capabilities for the upcoming season.

The South Korean will become Tottenham’s third signing of the summer. They have so far signed Timo Werner, extending his loan deal for another year, and Archie Gray on a permanent deal from Leeds United. Lucas Bergvall also officially joined the club this summer after Spurs had agreed a deal for him in January.

Min-hyuk Yang will become the fourth signing of the summer, even if it is not a signing fans were most excited for.

While Spurs have recently been investing a lot on young emerging talents, Spurs perhaps are in need of a few top class experienced players.

They have been linked strongly with the likes of Eze, Pedro Neto, and Ivan Toney. This is the sort of big name signing which will really make a statement.

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with the move for the Juventus attacker Federico Chiesa in recent weeks.

According to a report from CalcioNapoli24, the 26-year-old Italian international is set to leave Juventus this summer and he could join Tottenham for a fee of around €30-€35 million.

Roma and Napoli have been linked with the player as well, but Chiesa is set to leave Italian football this summer.

The report states that the 26-year-old is ‘close to Tottenham’ and it remains to be seen whether the North London club can get the deal done.

They could certainly use more quality and depth in the attacking unit and Chiesa should prove to be a superb acquisition. He has proven his quality in the Italian league and he has the technical and physical attributes to thrive in the Premier League as well.

Players like Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski have not been at their best in recent months and Spurs need more quality and cutting edge in the final third.

The 26-year-old will add creativity, goals and pace to their attack.

Chiesa has managed to get over his injury problems and he will look to make his mark in English football if the move goes through. Tottenham have an ambitious project and a talented squad. They have appointed a charismatic manager in Ange Postecoglou as well.

It remains to be seen whether they can do well in the Premier League and the UEFA Europa league next season.

The North London club will be hoping to push for domestic trophies and they will look to secure Champions League qualification in the upcoming campaign. Signing players like Chiesa will be a step in the right direction.

Description

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Españyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Tottenham have concrete interest in signing the 23-year-old and they could face competition from Real Madrid and Arsenal. It will be interesting to see if the North London club decide to make a move for him in the coming weeks.

They will need to step up their efforts to sign the goalkeeper if they want to sign him for a reasonable price. The player has a €25 million release clause in his contract, but the figure is expected to go up after 15 August. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can take advantage of the situation and get the deal done.

Although they have Guglielmo Vucario at their disposal, Garcia could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition. He could compete with the Italian international for a starting spot next season. More competition for places will help Tottenham improve as a team.

The London outfit will be hoping to do well across multiple competitions. They will be competing in the UEFA Europa League and they need a deeper squad to rotate the players more often. Signing another quality goalkeeper could prove to be a wise decision. The opportunity to move to Tottenham will be quite exciting for the player, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are keeping tabs on the player as well. They might need to replace Aaron Ramsdale this summer and Garcia would be a useful acquisition. The English goalkeeper is frustrated due to the lack of playing time at Arsenal and he could look to move on in search of first team action. Garcia would be the backup option to David Raya, if Arsenal managed to sign him..

Former Tottenham Hotspur defender Ryan Sessegnon is on the verge of joining London rivals Fulham.

Sky Sports has confirmed that the Cottagers have agreed to bring Sessegnon back to the club on a free transfer.

Sessegnon joined Spurs in the summer of 2019 for £25 million, arriving as a highly sought-after talent.

However, his time at the Lilywhites has been plagued by injuries, limiting his impact over the past four years.

The London-born wing-back made just 57 appearances for Tottenham, contributing 3 goals and 4 assists.

Last season was particularly challenging for Sessegnon, as he managed only one appearance due to persistent injuries, including a recurring hamstring issue that sidelined him for almost 11 months.

Despite these setbacks, Fulham manager Marco Silva views the 24-year-old as a versatile addition who can provide depth in both the left-wing and left-back positions.

Sessegnon’s contract with Tottenham expired this summer, and the club chose not to extend it, releasing him from the squad.

Fulham fans will be eager to see if Sessegnon can recapture the form that made him a standout player during his first spell at the club, hoping his return will bolster their squad for the upcoming season.
