Agent of Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg appeared to take a dig at Spurs during a recent interview, where he spoke about his agent seeking a move to an ambitious club.

The Danish international is in hunt for more regular playing time following his exclusion from Ange Postecoglou’s plans last season.

He fell down the pecking order under the Australian, with his role reduced to that of a squad player. Despite being a regular feature in the team, the majority of appearances came as a substitute.

Luca Puccinelli of Unique Sports Group Italy, who started representing Hojbjerg earlier this year, has made some fresh comments suggesting that the player is eyeing a future away from Spurs.

Puccinelli emphasised the defensive midfielder’s desire for a more ambitious project, hinting at the midfielder’s dissatisfaction with Tottenham’s lack of silverware.

Puccinelli lauded Hojbjerg’s achievements, highlighting his successful periods under renowned managers like Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte in North London, and his leadership in the Danish national team.

However, he made it clear that Hojbjerg aspires to join a club where he can compete for significant trophies, appearing to take a dig at Tottenham.

Puccinelli stated (as quoted by Fabrizio Romano):

“This year I started working with Pierre and it was a great satisfaction for me to be able to convince a top player for the project I had for him. Pierre has already experienced a lot in his career, he has had great seasons at Tottenham with top coaches like Mourinho and then Conte last year. In the national team he is a big leader as well”, says Luca Puccinelli from Unique Sports Group Italy.

“A player like him will surely be part of a club with great ambition or project because he is not just a strong player, but with a character made to fight for important things every year. Pierre feel comfortable in the pressure to win, and I am working in this sense.

“He is telling me that every year he dreams of trophies in the end of the season and don’t like to play for nothing. This is his mindset, this is the mission.”

Hojbjerg, now in the final year of his contract with no extension in sight, faces an uncertain future at Tottenham.

The Danish midfielder’s new agent has strong connections in Serie A, suggests a possible move to Italy.

Clubs such as AC Milan and Napoli are reportedly interested, along with Spanish side Atletico Madrid, who are closely monitoring his situation as well.

While proposals are already being considered, Puccinelli mentioned that decisions regarding Hojbjerg’s future will be made after the ongoing Euros.

Tottenham, on the other hand, will aim to secure a decent transfer fee for Hojbjerg to reinvest in strengthening other positions within the squad.

Tottenham have ‘carried out a survey’ as they plot move for £34m-rated defender - The Boy Hotspur
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign Vanderson from AS Monaco before the summer transfer window closes.

According to journalist Bruno Andrade, they have now ‘carried out a survey’, but the North London outfit are yet to open negotiations with the French outfit.

The defender will cost around £34 million this summer and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to make a move for him. He is versatile enough to operate as a full-back as well as a wing-back.

Tottenham certainly have the financial resources to get the deal done, and the Brazilian could prove to be a useful acquisition. He could operate on both flanks and he will add depth and quality to the side. Emerson Royal is expected to leave the club this summer, and the Brazilian could replace his compatriot.

The opportunity to move to the Premier league will be an exciting one for the 22-year-old and regular football in England could accelerate his development. He will be expected to compete with Pedro Porro for the starting spot. Competition for places will help both players improve.

Tottenham need to add more depth to their defensive unit this summer and they should look to sign a central defender along with a full-back. They will be competing in the UEFA Europa League next season and they need a deeper squad in order to deal with the fixture congestion. It will be interesting to see if the North London outfit follow up on their survey of the player with an official proposal now.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori.

The 22-year-old is highly rated across Europe and he has a bright future. His performances have attracted the attention of Tottenham and Juventus.

According to a report from IlBianconero, the Premier League club have shown ‘strong interest’ in signing the central defender and they are ready to compete with Juventus for him. The report further states that Tottenham could come forward with a ‘substantial offer’ for the player soon. They have already initiated contact with the Italian club and the defender’s representatives regarding a potential move.

Calafiori is regarded as one of the finest defensive prospects in European football right now, and he has the attributes to develop into a world-class player. He is capable of operating as a central defender as well as a left back. His versatility will be an added bonus for Tottenham if they can get the deal done. It will be interesting to see if the Italian international is keen on a move to the Premier League. It could be an exciting opportunity for him.

That said, Juventus would be an attractive destination for the player as well. They are one of the biggest clubs in Italy and joining them would mean that the young defender can continue in his homeland. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

It is fair to assume that Tottenham have more financial muscle compared to the Italian outfit and they might be able to pay a premium to Bologna. They have an exciting project and they will be able to offer the 22-year-old Europa league football next season. It remains to be seen whether that is enough to convince the defender to join them.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Joe Rodon is expected to leave the club permanently during the summer transfer window.

The 26-year-old Welsh international was on loan at Leeds United last season and he was a key player for them. There have been rumours that the Yorkshire giants could look to sign in permanently this summer, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.

According to Football Insider, Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton are keen on signing the player this summer. Spurs are ready to sanction his departure for a fee of £10 million as well.

The reported asking price seems quite reasonable for the player and it will be interesting to see to see if the three promoted clubs are ready to pay the asking price.

Rodon is well-settled in English football and he could make an immediate impact. He could improve them defensively. Signing him for £10 million would represent a major bargain.

It will be interesting to see to see if Rodon decides to join Leeds eventually. The opportunity to play in the Premier League could be quite tempting for the defender.

He does not have a future at Spurs and the North London club will hope to recoup as much as possible for him and invest the money into the playing squad.

The newly promoted clubs certainly have the means to pay £10 million for the defender and it remains to be seen where he ends up.

Rodon is at the peak of his powers and he needs to join a club where he will get regular game time. He cannot afford to sit on the bench at this stage of his career. The Welshman must pick his next destination carefully.

Tottenham Hotspur are in talks to sign Mats Hummels as a free agent ahead of next season.

Hummels’ time at Borussia Dortmund came to an end last week as he decided to leave the club with his contract expiring. While there is a lot of interest in his services from the Middle East and America, the German centre-back is keen on continuing in Europe.

According to a report from HITC, the player’s representatives are in talks with Tottenham regarding a potential summer move. Hummels’ agents are working hard to find him his next club and they have offered Spurs the opportunity to sign him on a free transfer.

The North London club were linked with him back in 2018 when he was at Bayern Munich. While he is already 35, Hummels has proved that he still has a lot of football left in him. He was one of the most consistent performers for Dortmund last season as they made it to the Champions League final.

Spurs are likely to consider signing him for free because of the amount of experience he has and the fact that he could give Ange Postecoglou’s team some much-needed depth.

While Spurs are currently in talks with his agents regarding a summer move, they are not the only English club who have been handed the opportunity to sign the German star. His representatives have held talks with other Premier League clubs as well. As a result, it will be interesting to see who comes out on top in the race to his signature.

Tottenham agree personal terms with summer target, star set to cost £65 million - The Boy Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur have agreed personal terms with Brentford ace Ivan Toney over a move to North London.

Ange Postecoglou is keen on taking the next step at Tottenham and he feels a proven number nine could help their cause. They are interested in the services of Ivan Toney and according to a report from Football Transfers, Spurs have agreed personal terms with the Brentford star.

Toney made a return to football at the start of the year after serving a long ban. In his 17 league outings, he could only manage four goals and two assists. Despite that, he managed to find a place in Gareth Southgate’s England team for the Euros.

While the 28-year-old was struggling for form towards the end of last season, there is still a lot of interest in him because of his proven track record in the English top flight. Tottenham are the ones who are pushing hard for his signature.

The North London club did cope well with Harry Kane’s departure despite not signing a replacement. But, Postecoglou feels a world-class striker is a must as they look to push for a Champions League spot next season. Toney has been on their radar for quite a while now and they have started making moves to sign the England international.

Spurs have already agreed personal terms with the player regarding a move to the club. While he has accepted the wage offer, a lot still needs to be done as they need to strike a deal with Brentford who are looking for a fee of £65 million.

Tottenham’s initial bid worth £40 million has already been rejected and they are expected to return with a better offer. Meanwhile, the report suggests £55 million could be enough to get it over the line.

Tottenham are all set to battle it out with rival clubs for the services of Tammy Abraham.

The North London club are looking to reinforce their attack ahead of next season and signing a striker is a top priority for them. They have been linked with former Chelsea star Tammy Abraham.

According to a report from Corriere della Sera, Spurs are ready to battle Everton, Aston Villa and West Ham for the signature of the English international.

Abraham suffered an ACL injury last year which kept him out from the majority of the 2023/24 season. While he is back fit and still has two years left on his deal with the Italian club, they seem ready to cash in on him. With Romelu Lukaku leaving, they need to bring in a top striker to fill his void. The 26-year-old’s departure could give them the needed financial strength to sign a replacement.

With multiple top clubs keen on his signature, Roma are hoping for a bidding war as they look to raise around €30 million. Tottenham do have other targets for the number nine role but those transfers will require a significant investment. While Abraham might have struggled with injury last term, he has proven himself in the Premier League in the past. With him available for a bargain fee, Spurs see this as a great opportunity.

Not only will they get a top-quality striker who can lead the line, but they will also be adding an experienced Englishman who knows all about playing in the English top flight. But, Tottenham will have to battle with Everton, Aston Villa and West Ham as they are all looking to add firepower to their attack and are closely monitoring the former Chelsea academy graduate’s situation at Roma.

Daniel Levy to fully back Ange as report details how much he has set aside to bolster the attack - The Boy Hotspur
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are poised to back Ange Postecoglou for the third consecutive transfer window as they look to strengthen the squad for the upcoming season.

According to Football Transfers, Spurs have ambitious plans this summer, aiming to sign five new players to contend for the Premier League title.

The report details that the club has substantial funds for transfers this summer, but those will have to be managed effectively on 5 new players.

It also adds that Levy has set aside a budget of £100m just go bolster the Tottenham attack.

Among the primary targets are Brentford’s prolific striker Ivan Toney, Crystal Palace’s star attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze, Conor Gallagher and a key defender.

The Lilywhites have emerged as favourites to sign Toney, with the striker having verbally agreed to personal terms.

Despite a recent bid reportedly being turned down by Brentford, Tottenham remains optimistic about securing the deal.

Toney’s recent switch to CAA Base, an agency closely linked with Daniel Levy, may have improved his chances of moving to North London.

As per recent reports, the player has agreed personal terms with Spurs but the clubs need to come to an agreement regarding the fee.

The striker had a remarkable 2022-23 season, where he scored 20 goals in 33 league appearances.

Simultaneously, Tottenham’s pursuit of Eberechi Eze is gaining traction. The club is gearing up for discussions with Eze’s representatives, aiming to trigger his £60 million release clause, which could make him the club’s record signing.

Eze’s exceptional performances last season, with 11 goals and four assists in 27 Premier League appearances, have captured the club’s interest.

Both Toney and Eze have been selected for England’s squad for the ongoing Euros, highlighting their excellence at both club and international levels.

Additionally, Spurs seek to sign a defender to strengthen their backline, someone who could play centre-back as well as full-back.

As the transfer window nears, Tottenham fans eagerly await these potential signings, hoping they will address key areas and push the team to success under Ange Postecoglou.

Spurs are linked with several defenders, with the latest name emerging is Fiorentina’s Nikola Milenkovic.

According to the sources who have informed TBR Football, the Lilywhites are keeping a close eye on the centre-back as a potential summer signing, particularly impressed by his performance against England in the opening group game of the Euros, despite Serbia’s narrow 1-0 loss.

Milenkovic, who anchored Serbia’s back-three, effectively neutralized England captain and Tottenham legend Harry Kane throughout the match.

The centre-half’s solid display highlighted his defensive prowess and attracted the attention of Spurs, who see him as a valuable addition to their squad.

Currently, Milenkovic has three years remaining on his contract with Fiorentina, which runs until June 2027.

He had a commendable campaign with the Italian club, making 50 appearances last season across all competitions.

However, Tottenham faces competition from other Premier League clubs, including Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Newcastle, and Fulham, all of whom are keeping tabs on the defender.

With the 26-year-old’s showing against the Three Lions, Spurs must be convinced about him.

Milenkovic’s impressive stats against England reinforce his quality: he completed 76 out of 80 passes with a 95% accuracy, won 100% of his tackles, made four clearances, and four recoveries, and performed seven defensive actions. (FotMob)

Tottenham reportedly views Milenkovic as a potential replacement for Cristian Romero, who is attracting interest from Real Madrid.

Ange Postecoglou would likely appreciate Milenkovic’s ability to handle top forwards like Harry Kane, making him a valuable asset for Spurs’ defence in the Premier League.

Tottenham are looking to finalise their transfer targets ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.

Spurs’ pursuit of Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze appears to be entering a decisive phase.

According to Football Transfers, the Lilywhites are gearing up for talks with the player’s representatives at the end of this week.

With the transfer window on the horizon, the North London outfit is eager to secure the services of the talented English International, who has been on their radar for quite some time now.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is poised to make a significant investment to bring Eze to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Reports indicate that Spurs are willing to trigger Eze’s £60 million release clause, which could potentially make him the club’s record signing.

Despite Eze extending his contract with Crystal Palace last November, speculation about his future persists.

Eze’s recent inclusion in England’s Euro squad highlights his quality, further fueling Tottenham’s desire to acquire his signature.

The 25-year-old had an outstanding campaign last season, demonstrating his prowess with 11 goals and four assists in 27 Premier League appearances.

The upcoming meeting with Eze’s representatives signifies Tottenham’s serious intent to secure the player, having previously invited the player’s entourage to the club’s home games earlier this year.

While Eze is not actively seeking a move, reports suggest he anticipates Crystal Palace honouring an informal agreement to allow him to leave if Spurs meet the asking price.

As negotiations approach, both clubs are set for discussions that could determine Eze’s future in the Premier League.
