The Boy Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur are focused on signing Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest, despite the delays.

According to TBR Football, Manchester City were interested in signing the 25-year-old midfielder as well, but he has already informed them that he wishes to join Tottenham instead.

Manchester City have now moved on to other targets. The development will come as a huge boost for Tottenham. It will be interesting to see if they can convince Nottingham Forest to get the deal across the line now.

The midfielder was excellent for Nottingham Forest last season, scoring seven goals and picking up 10 assists in the Premier League. He could prove to be a useful acquisition for Tottenham, who need more creativity and technical ability in the final third.

Tottenham need Morgan Gibbs-White

Tottenham need to improve their squad if they want to do well in the league and the Champions League next season. Signing talented players like Gibbs-White will help them match up to elite clubs. The 25-year-old is capable of slotting into multiple midfield roles, and he will add goals and creativity to the side.

James Maddison can be quite inconsistent at times, and Tottenham need more depth in that area of the pitch. Having another top-quality creator would be ideal.

Can Spurs convince Nottingham Forest?

Initially, there were rumours that Tottenham were prepared to trigger the £60 million exit clause in his contract, but Nottingham Forest are unhappy with the leak of the confidential information regarding his clause, and they are planning legal action against the north London club.

It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can work out their differences and finalise the transfer. The player is keen for the move to go through, and Nottingham Forest will not want to hold onto an unhappy player.

Rennes forward Arnaud Kalimuendo has been linked with a move away from the club, and multiple teams are keeping tabs on his situation.

According to a report from RMC Sport, Tottenham are ‘interested’ in the 23-year-old striker and they will have to pay a fee of around €30-35 million.

Rennes are not looking to stand in his way to summer, and they are prepared to let Kalimuendo leave the club if the right offer is presented. The French outfit have already started looking at a potential replacement.

Tottenham need Arnaud Kalimuendo

Tottenham need more quality in depth in the attacking unit, and another striker would be ideal. They need someone who can share the goal-scoring burden with Dominic Solanke. Kalimuendo is young enough to continue improving, and he has the potential to develop into a key player for the club.

The 23-year-old could be attracted to the idea of playing in the Premier League, and it will be interesting to see if he can hit the ground running in English football and establish himself as an important player for the North London club.

The reported asking price seems reasonable for a player of his quality. He has time on his side, and he could easily justify the outlay in future.

Kalimuendo is a player in demand

The former PSG striker is reportedly on the radar of Nottingham Forest, Villarreal and RB Leipzig as well.

The player scored 18 goals last season in all competitions. He managed to pick up four assists along the way as well. There is no doubt that he’s a quality player with the potential to succeed in English football. He could prove to be a bargain for Tottenham if he manages to hit the ground running.

Tottenham have quality players at their disposal and a quality manager like Thomas Frank as well. The French attacker will certainly hope that they can nurture him into a future star.

The white noise from overwrought Spurs fans over the last week or so has become unbearable, with unsolicited transfer advice being bawled from every corner. From the simpering of, ‘Where is he?’ to outright demands for Daniel Levy to move on to his next target. It’s times like these that even I am pleased Levy is running the club.

We are all too familiar with the background to this story. THFC managed quite coincidentally to guess the release fee for Morgan Gibbs-White, and Marinakis, the Nottingham Forest gaffer, lost his mind. We’ve all been in limbo ever since.

The legal action that never happened

The threat to instruct lawyers and involve the Premier League was never carried out, as TheBoyHotspur made clear repeatedly on his Substack. Tottenham had done little, if anything, wrong. Yes, the release clause was in the public domain, but if you go through our archives, you will find hundreds, if not thousands, of examples of where this type of information is freely available in the public domain.

For the record, slavery was abolished in the 1830s, and the truth of the matter is. that Marinakis simply wanted more cash. Indeed, he thought more cash was on the horizon, at one point.

A twist in the transfer tale

The plot twist came courtesy of Manchester City deciding against the player, who, himself, it was widely rumoured, preferred Spurs. Now, the Manchester Evening News are reporting that having snapped up Rayan Cherki from and Tijjani Reijnders, they are now more interested in offloading players.

The phrase that pays (or more accurately, resolutely refuses to pay) here is this one:

“It has since been claimed that Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis would now rather sell Gibbs-White to a different club and that he is hoping City will prove willing buyers and re-enter the race. But the Blues have no intention of doing so and have ended their interest in Gibbs-White.”

An aftermath for Marinakis, as opposed to an after-party

It is suggested that Evangelous Marinakis has envisaged creaming off a healthy profit by demanding some £100 million for the boy, but that ship has now sailed.

Morgan Gibbs-White still wants Spurs, and Spurs want the player, and the only blockage is the owner of Forest, who is still mourning the deal that got away. Quite how long the Greek might grieve for is anyone’s guess, but all talk of this deal being over or impossible is frankly naive.

The only transfer window in which Spurs have truly acted on the front foot came when the sale of Bale was anticipated, and we shopped like pirates.

My prediction is that Morgan will get his move to Spurs and that Daniel will get his man at the right price.

Patience is a virtue; howling every few days is charmless.

Tottenham Hotspur have been contacted regarding a move for Randal Kolo Muani this summer.

The 26-year-old French international is expected to be sold by PSG. This summer and Juventus are interested in securing his signature. However, they are hoping to sign him on loan with an option to buy. The French outfit wants £43 million for Kolo Muani.

PSG want to get rid of the player permanently, and they could consider a deal only if there is an obligation to sign the player at the end of the season. The two clubs have not been able to secure an agreement, and intermediaries working on the transfer have reached out to other clubs, including Tottenham, as per TBR Football.

Spurs have been contacted regarding Kolo Muani

Graeme Bailey has revealed: “Kolo Muani’s move to Juventus has stalled. They want him back, but they want a loan with an option. PSG are not keen, and they believe there are other clubs willing to take him on better terms.

“Kolo Muani has enjoyed life in Turin, but we are told that he remains keen on England – he was very close to joining Tottenham in January.

Spurs are one of those contacted again, but so have the likes of Manchester United and Newcastle, both of whom are obviously in the market for new forwards.

“He is suddenly a name who is possibly back on the market, and he is intriguing to these Premier League clubs. He is still seen as a huge talent.”

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham follow up on their interest with an offer to sign the player. They were very keen on him during the January transfer window, and the report from TBR claims that they came very close to signing the player.

Tottenham could use Randal Kolo Muani

They need a versatile attacker like him who can slot in anywhere across the front three. He will create opportunities for his teammates and score goals. Dominic Solanke has not been at his best since joining the club, and he needs more support in the attack.

The French International scored 12 goals in all competitions last season. He managed to pick up four assists along the way as well. His numbers are likely to improve when he is playing in an attacking team. If he manages to regain his form and confidence, he could be an asset for Tottenham.

The 26-year-old is at the peak of his career, and he will look to sort out his future and focus on his football. The opportunity to move to England could be quite exciting. Tottenham have an ambitious project and an exciting team. He might fancy the possibility of playing for next season.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in the Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, and they have made enquiries regarding a potential move.

It will be interesting to see if Manchester United are willing to let the player leave this summer. The 20-year-old has been linked with an exit from Manchester United recently. There is no doubt that he is a promising young talent with a bright future, and he could be a solid long-term acquisition for Tottenham.

The player is reportedly a target for Chelsea as per TBR Football. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham follow up on their enquiry with an official proposal.

Kobbie Mainoo would improve Tottenham

They need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the 20-year-old could be the ideal acquisition. He would be a long-term investment for them, and he will help them control games better. He will add control, composure, and creativity to the side.

Tottenham have an exciting project and quality players. They have brought in a quality manager like Thomas Frank as well. They are likely to be an attractive destination for players this summer.

If they manage to sign the 20-year-old, it would be a major coup for them. He is one of the best young players in the Premier League, and he could be an asset for the club in the long run.

Mainoo is an elite prospect

Mainoo is highly rated, and former Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has labelled him as a “very intelligent” player.

He said: “I like Kobbie Mainoo very much. I think his best position in an Amorim team is as a number eight; he’s a very intelligent player with the capabilities to push forward. So yeah, I think the number eight role would be the best one for him.”

Tottenham have done well to groom talented young players over the years, and if they manage to help the 20-year-old fulfil his potential, they could have a future star on their hands.

Meanwhile, Chelsea has been overly dependent on Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo in the midfield. They could use more talent and depth in that area of the pitch. The Manchester United player could be the ideal long-term investment.

Joao Palhinha has been linked with a move away from Bayern Munich during the summer transfer window.

The 30-year-old has struggled for regular gametime at the German club, but he wishes to stay and fight for his place next season. According to Christian Falk on CFBayernInsider, the player wishes to remain with the German champions, and his decision would only change if an absolutely top offer were presented to him.

Tottenham could use Palhinha

Tottenham need a quality defensive midfielder, especially with Yves Bissouma expected to leave the club. It will be interesting to see if they can convince the Portuguese international to join the club. He played some of his best football in England with Fulham, and returning to London could be ideal for him. It could help him get back to his best.

There is no guarantee that he will get regular time at the German club next season. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. The midfielder currently earns around £166,000 a week at Bayern Munich, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can afford to pay such wages.

Tottenham need top players in order to fight for trophies consistently, and Palhinha will help them improve at both ends of the pitch. He will help them tighten up defensively and allow the creative players to express themselves more.

Joao Palhinha needs game time

The midfielder needs to play regularly, especially with the World Cup coming up next year. He will want to cement his place in the Portuguese starting lineup. He cannot hope to do so without regular football next season. If the German club cannot provide him with gametime assurance, it would be wise of him to move on.

Tottenham will certainly be able to provide him with regular opportunities, given their need for a quality defensive midfielder.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing the Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo Goes during the summer transfer window.

According to a report from Spanish publication AS, Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy has made a promise to manager Thomas Frank that there will be “more investment” in the squad this summer. He is now ready to deliver on that promise, and a move for the Brazilian is on the cards.

Rodrygo needs to move on

The 24-year-old is not an indispensable asset for the Spanish club, and he should look to move on in search of regular playing time. The opportunity to join the Premier League club could be exciting for him. They need more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and the South American would be the ideal acquisition.

He is capable of slotting anywhere across the front three, and he will add goals and creativity to the side.

The report claims that Tottenham have a good relationship with Real Madrid, and Levy will try to negotiate a deal for the Brazilian below €90 million. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can sign him for a reasonable amount of money.

Rodrygo could be a star for Spurs

He is regarded as a world-class talent, and he has been described as the most “gifted player” in the Real Madrid squad. He could develop into a superstar with the right guidance and regular opportunities. The move to England might bring out the best in him, especially if he can play regularly.

Tottenham managed to win a European trophy last season, and they will look to push for trophies consistently now. They need elite players in order to compete with the biggest clubs in the world. Rodrygo could be a transformative addition for them. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few weeks.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in the Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo.

The 20-year-old is regarded as a special young talent, and he has shown his qualities in the Premier League with Manchester United. According to journalist Dean Jones, Tottenham are interested in him, but moving for him is not a priority right now.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to come forward with an offer for him in the near future. There is no doubt that he is a tremendous talent with a bright future, and he could be a long-term asset for the club. However, it is very unlikely that Manchester United will let a special young player like him leave the club anytime soon, especially to a rival club.

Manchester United have struggled in recent seasons, and they must hold onto their best young players if they want to build a formidable squad for the future.

Spurs could use Mainoo

Meanwhile, Tottenham need more quality and technical ability in the middle of the park, and the 20-year-old has the tools to develop into a complete midfielder. He’s a hard-working player who will help out defensively, and he has the control and the composure to dictate the tempo of the game as well. He can help out creatively and score goals as well.

There is no doubt that he would be an exceptional acquisition for most teams in the country.

Kobbie Mainoo is very highly rated

The midfielder is very highly rated at Manchester United, and club legend Paul Scholes has labelled him as a special talent who is 10 times the player he was at 19 years of age.

Scholes said: “Read a few comparisons between me and this kid last week… don’t waste your time, he is 10 times the player I was at 19. Just love the way he receives the ball, the calmness, the awareness of what’s around him and of course big goals in big games. This boy is special… and he’s a f***ing Red.”

Tottenham would have to pay a serious amount of money if they want to sign an elite talent like him from Manchester United. Even though they are struggling, they simply cannot afford to lose prodigious young players like Mainoo, and they will look to make any potential move very difficult.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Brentford attacker Yoane Wissa during the summer transfer window.

They will face competition from Newcastle United, who are looking to sign the 28-year-old as well. According to Ben Jacobs, Tottenham are ‘in talks’ to sign the player and Brentford could demand more than £50 million for him.

He has been a key player for them, and he scored 20 goals in all competitions last season. Brentford have already sanctioned the departure of Bryan Mbeumo, and they cannot afford to lose two of their best attacking players in one window. It is no surprise that they are quoting substantial fees for the player. It will be interesting to see if any club is willing to pay up.

Wissa keen to sort out future

Meanwhile, the player is keen to sort out his future quickly, and a report from BBC claims that he has recently left the pre-season camp with Brentford to accelerate any potential move.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham follow up on their interest with an offer to sign him. They need more quality in the final third, and the 28-year-old could share the goal-scoring burden with Dominic Solanke.

Tottenham will be competing in the UEFA Champions League next season, and they need a deeper squad with more quality.

Yoane Wissa could fancy joining Tottenham

Meanwhile, the opportunity to play for them could be attractive for the striker as well. This could be his final opportunity to join a big club and prove himself in the Champions League.

The player will certainly hope that the two clubs can finalise an agreement. In addition to that, he would get to work with his former manager, Thomas Frank. The Denmark manager knows all about the player, and he could bring out the best in Tottenham. Frank has previously labelled Wissa as a “great” player.

Meanwhile, the move to Newcastle could be attractive for the player as well. They will be able to offer him Champions League football as well. He would get to play alongside a world-class player like Alexander Isak.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha this summer.

The 30-year-old has struggled for regular game time at the German club, and he is expected to be on the move this summer.

Tottenham want Joao Palhinha

Tottenham are prepared to bring him back to the Premier League, and they want to sign him for £20 million, as per TBR Football. The German champions are holding out for £30 million, and it will be interesting to see if the two clubs can come to an agreement.

The Portuguese International played his best football in England with Fulham, and returning to the Premier League could be ideal. Tottenham will be able to help him regain his form and confidence. There is no doubt that he is a quality player, but the move to Germany has not worked out as expected.

Regardless, he is highly rated across Europe, and his Bayern Munich teammate, and the former Tottenham star Harry Kane, has labelled him as a “fantastic” player.

Palhinha would improve Spurs

He has the quality and the experience to improve Spurs, and they would do well to secure his signature. They need more physicality and a combative presence in the middle of the park. Palhinha will protect their defensive unit and allow the creative players to operate with more freedom.

Tottenham have an attractive project and a quality manager. The Portuguese international will certainly see the possibility of playing for them next season. He will hope that the two clubs can finalise an agreement quickly. The Portuguese international will look to sort out his long-term future and focus on his football once again.

Yves Bissouma is likely to be on his way out of the club, and Palhinha could be the ideal replacement.
