Multiple sources: Internally, Spurs want £55M deal wrapped up this week - The Boy Hotspur
Description

To say that this window has begun to drag is somewhat of an understatement. After the initial burst of enthusiasm surrounding the arrival of Mohammed Kudus (which was an inspired purchase, judging by his initial excellent contributions), it’s all become rather lukewarm.

Tottenham are said to be in talks to sign Savinho, but Manchester City have made it clear they won’t accept offers in the €50–60M range. If Spurs get the deal done, Guardiola’s side will then immediately turn their focus to Rodrygo.

Tottenham made initial contact with Rodrygo’s camp after Heung-min Son’s MLS move, but their priority is widely reported as the Brazilian, Savinho.

Thomas Frank is thought to see Eze as a direct replacement for Son Heung-min, on the basis that he is versatile, dynamic, and ready to slot straight into the Lilywhite starting XI. Again, based specifically upon the Burnley game, Kudus brings a very different offering to the South Korean.

According to multiple sources discussing the matter with TheBoyHotspur, Tottenham aren’t keen to pay the full clause, but are understood to be preparing a “competitive offer”, according to one source. Tottenham supposedly believe £55m is a fairer valuation for the England international. The ambition at Spurs is to now get the deal done, ideally this week.

Multiple sources, including transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, report that Eze has informed Crystal Palace of his desire to join Tottenham. This player-driven push significantly boosts the likelihood of a transfer, as Eze is reportedly “very keen” on the move.

Spurs are thought to be in direct talks with Crystal Palace, with chairman Daniel Levy engaging with Palace’s Steve Parish. Spurs have reportedly offered £55 million plus £5 million in add-ons, though Palace’s asking price is around £68 million. So yet again, it is suspected that Levy has NOT stepped back from transfer deals.

Whatever transpires, Daniel Levy needs to drop the ‘playing it cool’ act and crack on before Frank becomes yet another Spurs gaffer that wasn’t properly backed.

Tottenham attacker Manor Solomon tipped for Leeds move

“He’s not in Thomas Frank’s thinking”: Tottenham player tipped to join Premier League rivals - The Boy Hotspur
Description

Former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Paul Robinson has suggested that Leeds United might make a move for Manor Solomon this summer.

The player was on loan at Leeds last season, and he was an important player for them. He helped them secure promotion to the Premier League, and it remains to be seen whether they come forward with an offer to sign in permanently.

The 26-year-old Israeli international needs regular gametime to continue his development. He is unlikely to get those opportunities at Tottenham. Meanwhile, Robinson also adds that the player is unlikely to be a part of Thomas Frank’s plans at the club.

Manor Solomon tipped to join Leeds

“I think a move from Manor Solomon would be first on the priority list”, Robinson told Football Insider.

“I’m not sure they’d have to pay £20million for Manor Solomon, although he was excellent last year.

“It was interesting when Thomas Frank did his post-match after [Tottenham’s] pre-season friendly, when they were talking about Son leaving – Manor Solomon and Bryan Gil didn’t get a mention.

“It makes me think that [for] Manor Solomon, he’s not in Thomas Frank’s thinking.”

Solomon needs to sort out his future

It will be interesting to see if the player can wrap up a move quickly and focus on his football once again. There is no doubt that he is a quality player, but he does not have a future at the north London club. He needs to join a club where he will get regular gametime.

Leeds could use more quality on the flanks, as well as the 26-year-old could be a useful acquisition. He knows the club well, and he has excelled with them recently. He will be able to settle in quickly and make an instant impact.

Tottenham are unlikely to stand in his way, and they are unlikely to demand a premium either. They will get rid of the player quickly, and it remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.

Tottenham make enquiry for “one of the best” talents Pep Guardiola has seen - The Boy Hotspur
Description

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly made an enquiry for the Manchester City defender Rico Lewis.

The 20-year-old is capable of operating as a full-back as well as a defensive midfielder. He is highly rated at the Premier League club, and it will be interesting to see if they are willing to sanction his departure.

Lewis is a player in demand

According to a report from CaughtOffside, several Premier League clubs are keen on the versatile talent. However, Manchester City have no plans of letting him leave, and Pep Guardiola views him as an important player for the future.

The Manchester City manager rates him very highly, and he has previously labelled him as “one of the best” talents he has ever seen.

Spurs could use Rico Lewis

Tottenham could certainly use more quality and depth in the squad, and the 20-year-old would be an excellent acquisition. His ability to slot into multiple roles will be a bonus. They are looking to put together a formidable squad for the future, and it is no surprise that they are keen on one of the best young talents in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, the 20-year-old needs to play regularly at this stage of his career to continue his development and fulfil his potential. If Manchester City cannot provide him with that opportunity, he should consider leaving the club. He needs to focus on his development for now.

It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Manchester City are under no pressure to sell him this summer. He has a contract with them until 2028, and any club hoping to sign him will have to come forward with an absurd amount of money.

It remains to be seen whether Tottenham follow up on their enquiry with an official offer to get the deal done. They will face competition from clubs like Chelsea, Aston Villa, Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest as well.

Tottenham Hotspur have not given up on the capture of Savinho from Manchester City.

They have failed with an initial offer to sign the 21-year-old Brazilian attacker, but they are prepared to return with a renewed offer for the player. It will be interesting to see if they can convince Manchester City to accept the offer.

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Manchester City are currently closing doors to any potential move, but their stance could change if there is a suitable offer on the table. Tottenham need someone like him, and the 21-year-old could be an important player for them. It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal across the line.

Savinho needs to move on

The 21-year-old struggled for regular game time at Manchester City last season, and he needs to play more often. He will hope to play in the World Cup with Brazil, and he cannot afford to sit on the bench at Manchester City this season. He needs to join a club where he will get regular opportunities, and Spurs could be the ideal destination. They need more depth and quality on flanks, and they will be able to offer the 21-year-old more opportunities.

Regular football at Tottenham could bring out the best in the South American as well. It could help him fulfil his tremendous potential. He’s a tremendous talent for the bright future, and he could develop into a future star.

It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few weeks. Daniel Levy is not a fan of overpaying for players, and Manchester City will need to be reasonable with their demands.

Tottenham eyeing up summer move for Takefusa Kubo

Tottenham could shell out £60m for “natural leader” tipped to become a “superstar” - The Boy Hotspur
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing Takefusa Kubo from Real Sociedad during the summer transfer window.

According to a report from Fichajes, they could be willing to offer around €70 million (£60m) for the 23-year-old attacker. The Japanese International has been linked with the move to the Premier League in the past as well.

Tottenham could use Takefusa Kubo

Tottenham need more quality and depth on the flanks, and the 23-year-old could prove to be an excellent acquisition. Although he is a right-sided winger, he’s versatile enough to operate on the left as well. He will look to add goals and creativity to the side going forward.

Liverpool star Wataru Endo has described him: “He sees things that other people don’t see, the ability to see a pass and pick a long ball. His intelligence is outstanding. He is very skilled technically, but also very brave; he’s not scared of the ball and of taking on responsibility.

“He’s a natural leader and he’s comfortable with the pressure. He has the ingredients to one day be a superstar.”

Kubo could fancy Spurs move

The opportunity to move to the Premier League could be quite exciting for him. It would be a significant step up in his career, and he would be testing himself at a higher level. The player possesses the technical attributes necessary to excel in the Premier League, and a move to Tottenham could be ideal. They have secured Champions League qualification, and they will be able to provide him with the platform to compete at a high level. Spurs managed to win the UEFA Europa League last season, and they will be an attractive destination for players. They will look to fight for trophies this season as well.

Son Heung-min has left the club, and they need to replace him. The 23-year-old could prove to be an excellent alternative. Apart from his quality as a player, his commercial appeal and global marketability would be bonuses for Tottenham if they can get the deal done.

The Spanish outfit will hold out for a fee of around €70 million, and it will be interesting to see if prepared to submit an offer for him in the coming weeks. Regular football in England could bring out the best in the Japanese international and help him fulfil his potential.

Player “very, very happy” after chat with Thomas Frank, Tottenham “really want” deal done - The Boy Hotspur
Description

Cristian Romero was heavily linked with a move away from Tottenham during the summer transfer window.

Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid wanted to sign the player this summer, but the move has not worked out. The Spanish clubs have failed to meet the demands of the London club, and they have walked away from the deal.

Romeo is now set to stay at Tottenham, and he has been appointed as the club’s new captain. According to TBR Football, they are now looking to agree on a new deal with the player. The defender has had a chat with the newly appointed manager, Thomas Frank, and he is very happy with how it has turned out.

Cristian Romero happy with Thomas Frank chat

Graeme Bailey said: “There have been talks with Thomas Frank, and he’s very, very happy with what he’s come across. Will this help persuade him to sign a new contract? It won’t hurt.

“That’s what the Club really want. They want him to sign this new deal. It will see him become the highest-paid player at the club, if things start well this season, I don’t think that’ll be a million miles away.”

Spurs want new deal for Romero

Tottenham now want him to sign a new contract with the club, and they are prepared to offer him a bumper new deal. Romero could become the highest earner at the club with his new contract. It will be interesting to see if both parties can finalise an agreement quickly.

Romero is undoubtedly one of the best defenders in the world, and tying him down to a new contract would be a huge boost for Tottenham and their fans. They will be hoping to fight for major trophies in the near future, and they need top-quality players like Romero at their disposal.

The South American was crucial to their UEFA Europa League win last season, and he will hope to guide them to more trophies as a captain now.

Rapid fire player ratings

Rapid fire player ratings - The Boy Hotspur
Description

A cracking opening Premier League game from Thomas Frank, yes, it was against a lesser side, but what we saw were very important improvements in the tactical side of the game. This side did not suggest that a relegation battle was on the cards.

Vicario’s long passes remain a lottery, but this Burnley side didn’t have enough about them to pin him back where it counted. In this outing, we played sharper defensively, which also aided him.

Porro looked lively, but he lost possession 23 times, which is not a good thing. His passing accuracy was also just 74%, but both of these ‘issues’ will be down to his frequently advanced role. Again, he’d need to be tighter against better opponents.

Romero started slowly, but was generally excellent as he found his rhythm; his passing accuracy was 89%, which again, could have been exploited by a better opponent.

Van de Ven did the usual Mickey-type stuff, some (14) eye-catching sprints and excellent 93% passing accuracy. More, please.

Djed Spence had a much-improved left-back performance, albeit against a lesser opposing force. He also racked up a rather imperious 94% passing accuracy and generally looked like a solid member of the firm.

Pape Mata Sarr had another good game, creating one big chance and generally got stuck in. Minus Bissouma, he looks sharper, more mature.

Archie Gray looked much more at home, being played in position, as per his 93% passing accuracy for a central midfielder.

Luca Bergval found himself in purgatory. Purgatory’s kind of like the in-betweeny one. You weren’t really shit, but you weren’t all that great either. Like Tottenham.

Mohammed Kudus was frankly exceptional. 5 key passes, 50% crossing accuracy, 93% passing accuracy and provided both assists. Bloody brilliant.

Richarlsion, by his standards, a superb performance and here’s to Thomas Frank aiding the delivery of more. Focused, sane, and obviously operating to a very clear brief. The Brazilian may wish to make the Norwegian the subject of his next daft tattoo.

Report: Tottenham must raise offer by £10-20 million to wrap up summer signing - The Boy Hotspur
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are trying to sign Savinho from Manchester City during the summer transfer window, and they have had an initial offer knocked back for him.

The 21-year-old needs to leave Manchester City in search of regular football, and the move to Tottenham could be ideal for him. The London club is in need of more attacking depth in the side as well. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

Spurs need to raise offer for Savinho

According to a report from Fichajes, Tottenham have had an offer of around £60 million, turned down for the player. They will need to raise their offer to £70-80 million in order to get the deal done. Savinho is not a regular starter for Manchester City, and he’s quite young. The reported asking price is quite expensive for him, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham are prepared to pay up. They will hope to sign him for a more reasonable amount of money.

Savinho would improve Spurs

Tottenham need more quality and depth in the wide areas, and the Brazilian could be a solid long-term acquisition for them. He is highly rated across Europe, and he has shown his quality in La Liga and in the Premier League. He will be hoping to join a club where he can play regularly, so that he can cement his place in the Brazilian national team for the upcoming World Cup.

Tottenham could be the ideal move for him. Thomas Frank might be able to bring out the best in the player. It will be interesting to see if they decide to come back with an improved offer for the player. It is fair to assume that Manchester City will have to be reasonable with their demands. Daniel Levy can be a difficult person to negotiate with, and he will not want to overpay for the player.

Spurs need Eberechi Eze

After the departure of Son Heung-min and the injury to James Madison, Tottenham need more quality depth in the attacking unit. The versatile 27-year-old Crystal Palace star could be the ideal acquisition. He can operate centrally as an attacking midfielder as well as a wide player. He will look to create chances for his teammates and find the back of the net as well.

Eze had 25 goal contributions last season, and it is fair to assume that those numbers could improve when he is playing in a better team alongside quality players. Tottenham might be able to bring out the best in him. He would also get to experience Champions League football with them.

Spurs need to do well in the league

Despite winning the UEFA Europa League last season, Spurs were quite disappointing overall. They finished close to the relegation zone. They will want to bounce back strongly and do well in the Premier League now.

Eze could help them push for a place in the top four. It will be interesting to see if he can make an instant impact. He is well settled in the Premier League, and there is no reason why he cannot hit the ground running.

The 27-year-old is at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for him to join a big club and fight for major trophies.

Report: Tottenham one of the three Premier League clubs keen on 22-cap England international - The Boy Hotspur
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid this summer.

According to journalist Ruben Uria via Fichajes.com, three Premier League clubs are interested in signing the 25-year-old midfielder. Tottenham are interested in him, and it remains to be seen whether they come forward with an offer to sign him.

Conor Gallagher would improve Tottenham

Gallagher was an important player for Atletico Madrid last season, and he made 50 appearances for them in all competitions. There is no doubt that he would be an excellent acquisition for Tottenham as well. He’s a hard-working midfielder who will help out defensively and add some much-needed physicality and drive in the middle of the park as well.

Tottenham need someone with his skill set, and he could form a solid partnership with Joao Palhinha and Pape Matar Sarr. The player has been linked with Tottenham in recent years, and they are long-term admirers of the midfielder.

Can Spurs sign Gallagher?

It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal across the line this time. The 22-cap England International has the quality to improve most teams in the Premier League, and he would be an excellent acquisition for the North London outfit. They will be able to offer him Champions League football for the upcoming campaign, and it remains to be seen whether that is enough to convince him.

The former Chelsea star knows the Premier League well, and he will be able to settle quickly and make an instant impact.
