The Boy Hotspur

The word ‘revolution’ is as much overused in football as the word ‘disgrace’, such is the daily demand for hyperbole. That said, after two seasons of mostly chaos from Ange Postecoglou, where the winning of a cup left the club’s board simultaneously looking at glory and humiliation in equal measure, a significant shake-up was inevitable.

The appointment of Thomas Frank was significant in that it signalled the complete disappointment in the lucky bag approach of his predecessor, and a return to traditional football values, such as league performance, brand reputation and commercial success.

It took ENIC several decades to get to where they are, and in just one season, one man was looking to set fire to their efforts.

A Europa League cup would be cold comfort in the Championship, where a side with no obvious strikers, a leaky defence and Yves Bissouma looked unlikely to spring back with ease into the top flight.

Mick Brown, a former scout, talking to Football Insider,

“Tottenham are prepared to let Son leave this summer. If you look at the business they’re doing, or trying to do, it seems it would pave the way for all parties to move on and head in a new direction. There’s interest in him from Saudi Arabia and the MLS, those are the options that are available.”

The reality is that Sonny is a shadow of the player he used to be, and time doesn’t increase anyone’s speed or recovery journey.

Moving on a club stalwart, especially after finally landing silverware that meant something, has no shame attached to it.

Tottenham under Frank need to be slicker, hungrier, and hungrier than ever before, and supporting an ageing star is simply not part of that future.

Tottenham have already sent out a clear message that the Postecoglou era is over with the appointment of Mohammed Kudus and (once the fake legal complaint is dealt with) Morgan White-Gibbs.

Tottenham Hotspur continue to pursue a move for Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest.

Initially, there were reports that they had triggered a £60 million release clause in the contract of the midfielder, and the deal is close to completion. However, the move has now stalled after Nottingham Forest decided to take legal action against Tottenham for making an illegal approach.

Tottenham confident of getting deal done

Fabrizio Romano has now revealed that it is a tense situation as far as the transfer is concerned, but Tottenham are confident of getting the deal done, and they are expecting to proceed soon.

He said to GMS: “Yes, they are (confident). It’s a tense situation, but Spurs hope to be able to proceed soon.”

On the other hand, TBR football are now reporting that the midfielder has already informed Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis that he wants to join Tottenham this summer. That will come as a huge boost for the north London club, and it will give them a position of strength when it comes to negotiations.

Nottingham will not want to hold onto the player against his wishes, and it is fair to assume that an agreement could be reached soon. The fact that Tottenham are willing to pay his release clause should make the deal easier to complete.

Tottenham need Morgan Gibbs-White

Tottenham need more creativity and drive in the middle of the park, and the 25-year-old could be the ideal acquisition. He is capable of operating centrally as well as on the flanks. His versatility will be an added bonus.

The player was outstanding in the Premier League last season, scoring seven goals and picking up 10 assists. His numbers could improve when he is playing in a better team alongside quality players. The move to Tottenham could bring out the best in him.

A very good afternoon and welcome to another in this series of daily shorts from The Boy Hotspur himself, sharing opinion and information from behind the scenes at Tottenham Hotspur football club.

The latest substandard player clinging on for dear life in N17 is finding it tough right now, as the repercussions of Ange Postecoglou’s reign echo from ENIC’s head office, through the corridors of Hotspur Way.

This is not the time to indulge the old pals’ routine; this is the time to get busy and prepare for the Champions League, where the trash we faced in the Europa League will be noticeable by their absence!

Good morning and welcome to another in this series of daily shorts from The Boy Hotspur himself, sharing opinion and information from behind the scenes at Tottenham Hotspur.

It’s all go at Spurs, which is a phrase many of you will have heard before, but the reality of this situation is that the carnage caused by Ange Postecoglou has come with consequences. Donna Marie Cullen doesn’t work here any more, and there’s more change in store.

Enjoy!

Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton has been linked with a move away from the club during the summer transfer window.

The 22-year-old has established himself as one of the finest young talents in the Premier League, and Tottenham are keen on him. According to Alasdair Gold, Tottenham have been following the player for a few seasons, and they like him.

Gold has now revealed that Tottenham wanted to sign the player last year as well. It will be interesting to see if they come forward with an offer to get the deal done this time. However, signing him will not be easy. Crystal Palace will demand a fee of around £100 million for the midfielder.

Adam Wharton move seems unlikely

Spurs need to improve other areas of their squad, and they are likely to be priced out of a move for the England international. They need a reliable defensive midfielder, especially with Yves Bissouma likely to move on this summer. Wharton would have been the ideal replacement for the African.

He has the tools to develop into a top-class player, and he could have been a future star for Tottenham.

Tottenham have been busy in the transfer market

Tottenham have been quite active in recent weeks, and they have already signed Mohammed Kudus. They are likely to secure the signature of Morgan Gibbs-White as well. Signing a defensive midfielder would be exceptional for them.

It will be interesting to see if they can plug the gaps in the other areas of their squad before the window closes. They will be aiming for a successful season after winning the Europa League last time out. They were disappointing in the league, but they will look to bounce back strongly and finish in the top four.

Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to sign Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest during the summer transfer window.

There have been reports that they have triggered his £60 million release clause. However, Nottingham Forest have not sanctioned the departure yet. They are planning legal action against Tottenham for illegally approaching the player and revealing the confidential release clause.

Tottenham transfer is likely to happen

Initially, there were fears that the move would fall through. However, Alasdair Gold has now revealed that Nottingham Forest are only delaying the inevitable, and the move will eventually go through.

The update will come as a huge boost for Tottenham and their fans. They need more creativity and technical ability in the midfield, and the 25-year-old would be the ideal acquisition. He scored seven goals in the Premier League last season and picked up 10 assists. There is no doubt that he is a quality player, and he would improve immensely.

Gibbs-White is also versatile enough to operate on the flanks, and he could be an asset for the north London outfit.

Morgan Gibbs-White will fancy the move

The player will be determined to join a big club and compete at a higher level. Spurs will be able to offer him Champions League football, and there is no doubt that he will be excited to join them. The player will now hope that the two clubs can sort out their differences and get the deal done.

Tottenham have done well to sign Mohammed Kudus so far, and they need to improve their midfield and defence as well. It will be interesting to see if they can wrap up a move for Gibbs-White quickly and sign a reliable central defender.

They have been linked with players like Marc Guehi and Maxime Esteve in recent weeks.

Tottenham Hotspur continue to be linked with a move for the Burnley defender Maxime Esteve.

According to Football Insider, they are in talks to sign the 23-year-old, and he will cost around £50 million this summer. Burnley have no intention of letting him leave for cheap, and they will demand a substantial amount of money.

Esteve is a long-term target for Spurs

Pete O’Rourke claimed: “Spurs did try to sign him in the January window when he was doing so well; Burnley don’t want to lose Esteve, and they’ve put a £50million price tag on his head.

“I don’t think Spurs would go near that level to try and sign Esteve, but Burnley are in a really strong position to negotiate here.

“He’s under contract until 2029 and they can demand a substantial fee because of his contract – that price tag will probably scare off most clubs.”

Can Tottenham afford Maxime Esteve?

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to pay up. They need more quality and depth in the defensive unit, especially with Cristian Romero facing an uncertain future at the club. He has been linked with multiple top clubs.

The South American defender is reportedly open to a new challenge, and Tottenham will need to replace him adequately if he moves on. Esteve was outstanding in the Championship for Burnley last season, and he was chosen as the club’s player of the season. He was instrumental in their push for promotion.

There is no doubt that he has the qualities to thrive in the Premier League, and he could be an important player for Tottenham as well. However, the asking price is a major blow for any club hoping to sign him. Although he is a quality player, £50 million is a lot of money.

Tottenham will need to improve other areas of their squad, and they could easily be priced out of a move for the French defender. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds. Burnley might need to be more reasonable with their demands in order for the move to go through.

Good afternoon and welcome to another in this series of daily shorts from The Boy Hotspur himself, sharing opinion and information from behind the scenes at Tottenham Hotspur.

There’s a flurry of ITK for you this afternoon, but in the interim, we’ve an update on the situation at Nottingham Forest with Morgan Gibbs-White and one or two other morsels in respect of transfer activity.

This could be a very interesting transfer window indeed!

Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from the club during the summer transfer window.

He was heavily linked with Atletico Madrid in recent weeks, but it seems that cross-town rivals Real Madrid have now joined the race as well.

According to a report from Fichajes, they are looking to open formal talks with Tottenham for the 27-year-old defender, and they are likely to submit an opening offer of around €80 million (£69m).

Cristian Romero could improve Los Blancos

The defender is thought to be keen on taking up a new challenge this summer. The opportunity to join Real Madrid will be quite exciting for him. They are widely regarded as the biggest club in the world.

They could provide him with the platform to fight for titles and the UEFA Champions League regularly. Real Madrid were quite disappointing last season, and they need to improve their squad. Signing the right players will help them bounce back strongly.

They were vulnerable at the back, and a reliable defender could make a big difference. Romero is undoubtedly one of the best defenders in Europe right now. He has been a key player for club and country.

It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid can convince Tottenham to sell the player.

Real Madrid need quality defenders

Barcelona managed to win the league title last season, and Real Madrid will look to get back to the top of Spanish football once again. They need to improve their squad this summer. The World Cup winner will not only help them improve defensively, but his leadership skills could prove to be vital as well.

Meanwhile, he has been a player for Tottenham, and his exit will be a devastating blow for the club. It will be interesting to see if they can replace him adequately.

Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs interested in signing Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid.

They have tried to sign the player in the past, and a report from Mundo Deportivo claims that they are ‘keeping an eye’ on his situation. Newcastle United have joined the race for the England international midfielder as well.

The report claims that the 25-year-old is happy at the Spanish club, but he has not been able to play regularly in his preferred role. With the World Cup coming up next year, Gallagher wants to play in his natural role so that he can establish himself as a key player for the national team. The central midfielder has previously impressed in the Premier League with Chelsea and Crystal Palace. There is no doubt that he has the qualities to thrive at Tottenham.

Tottenham need Conor Gallagher

The north London outfit needs more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the 25-year-old could be the ideal acquisition. He will add physicality, work great, and a combative presence in the midfield.

It will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an offer to sign the player. They have the resources to get the deal across the line, and Gallagher could help them improve. The opportunity to return to England could be exciting for the player.

Newcastle also keen on the player

Newcastle have an ambitious project as well. It remains to be seen whether they come forward with a proposal to sign the player. They are one of the richest clubs in the world right now.
