The Boy Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman at the end of the season.

The 27-year-old has done quite well at the Italian club and his performances have attracted the attention of the North London outfit. Spurs will face competition from Liverpool and Chelsea in the race to sign the attacker.

According to the Fichajes, an offer of around €45 million is expected in the summer for the player. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can get the deal done. Spurs have scouted the player in recent months.

It is no secret that Tottenham need attacking reinforcements and a dynamic forward like Lookman would be the ideal acquisition. He is capable of operating across the front three and he will add goals and creativity to the side. The opportunity to move to the Premier League can be quite attractive for him.

Lookman would be a superb addition

The 27-year-old Nigerian has 17 goals and seven assists to his name this season and he has the quality to succeed in the Premier League. He knows English football well from his time at Everton, and he might be able to settle in quickly and make an instant impact. He has been labelled as a “truly extraordinary player”.

Players like Richarlison and Timo Werner are expected to be on their way out of the club in the summer, and Spurs need to replace them adequately. Signing Lookman would be a wise decision for them.

Meanwhile, Liverpool and Chelsea need to add more quality and depth to their attacking unit. Mohamed Salah will be out of contract in the summer and Liverpool need to replace him. As far as Chelsea are concerned, they have been overly reliant on Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer. They need more depth in the final third, and the Nigerian would be a quality addition for both clubs.

Tottenham Hotspur are actively preparing for the summer transfer window, with Como’s rising star Nico Paz emerging as a prime target for the club.

Spurs have been keeping a close eye on Paz’s development in Serie A, and former Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli could play a crucial role in influencing the 20-year-old’s decision to move to North London.

Having recently joined Como, Alli now has the opportunity to provide Paz with valuable insight into what life at Tottenham is like, potentially giving Spurs an edge in securing the midfielder’s signature.

Dele Alli could help convince Nico Paz to join Tottenham

Former club scout Bryan King believes that Alli will likely discuss a potential move with Paz, which could help convince the Argentine playmaker to consider a Premier League switch.

Paz is expected to be valued at around £12 million, though his price could rise to £20 million if he continues his impressive form.

King also suggested that the Lilywhites could include a pre-season friendly against Como as part of the negotiations, a move that would not only strengthen ties between the clubs but also give Alli a chance to return to Spurs in a special setting.

Speaking to Tottenham News, King stated:

“I’m sure that Alli will have words with Paz.

“He will no doubt be very interested to hear what Alli has to say about life at Tottenham. I’d imagine the starting price for Paz will be around £12million, and that could reach a figure of £20m if he is as successful as everyone hopes he will be.

“Perhaps a pre-season game with Como will be included in that deal too. That would be of big interest to the club, and of big interest to Alli, who would be able to make a wonderful return to Tottenham.”

Paz, a product of Real Madrid’s famed academy, made his first-team debut for Los Blancos in the Champions League before securing a €6 million transfer to Como in August 2024.

Since his arrival, he has impressed with six goals and five assists in 25 Serie A appearances, taking his overall tally across all competitions and levels to 24 goals and 12 assists. (Transfermarkt)

Real Madrid included a buy-back clause in the deal, allowing them to re-sign him for €8 million in the summer of 2025, with the fee increasing in subsequent years. Additionally, they retain a 50% sell-on clause, meaning they would receive half of any future transfer fee if Como sells him elsewhere.

With Tottenham aiming to bolster their midfield options, signing Paz could be a smart long-term investment. If Alli plays a role in making the transfer happen, it would further cement his legacy among Spurs supporters.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison has come under scrutiny for his performances this season.

Former Spurs goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes the issue stems from how he is being utilised by Ange Postecoglou.

Robinson has pointed out that Maddison is not being deployed in his most effective position, which has limited his overall impact on the pitch.

The pundit highlighted that Maddison has often been played as a deep-lying left-sided midfielder in Postecoglou’s preferred 4-3-3 formation. He argued that this role restricts the Englishman’s ability to influence the attack, as he thrives when positioned higher up the field.

According to Robinson, Maddison is most effective in an advanced playmaking role, where he can create opportunities and contribute with goals. He also emphasized that the midfielder performs at his best when given a consistent run of games, allowing him to build rhythm and confidence.

Paul Robinson on James Maddison

Speaking to Tottenham News, Robinson said:

“Maddison has been an out of the side, but you’ve got to give him credit when he does get his opportunity. He performs to his level.

“I don’t agree with where he’s played. When he played and Spurs were struggling, they played a 4-3-3.

“He’s played him as a deep-lying left-sided midfielder, and that’s not his best position. If you want to get the best out of James Maddison, you play him higher up the field than a number 10, where he can cause more damage. I saw him at the weekend.

“I thought that his reaction after the game showed his commitment, the way that he was when he went over to the supporters. I think he’s a player that plays better when he’s got a run of games, and he knows that he’s going to be playing every week.”

Despite questions over his positioning, Maddison has remained a key player for Tottenham this season. Since joining from Leicester City in June 2023 for a reported £40 million, he has made a significant impression at the club.

Upon his arrival, the 28-year-old was named vice-captain and quickly made an impact, winning the Premier League Player of the Month award for August after registering a goal and two assists in his first three matches.

Maddison is currently tied with Brennan Johnson as the Spurs’ top scorer in the Premier League, scoring nine goals this season.

His overall contributions further underline his importance to the team. With 10 goals and seven assists in 34 appearances across all competitions, Maddison ranks among the league’s best in key attacking metrics, including goals per 90 minutes (8th), goal-creating actions (5th), and non-penalty goals plus assists per 90 (4th).

As Tottenham aim to finish the season strongly, adjusting Maddison’s role on the pitch could be crucial in maximizing his influence and helping the team climb the table.

Tottenham Hotspur keen on signing the AS Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara at the end of the season.

According to a report from TBR Football, they will face competition from Liverpool and Chelsea. All three Premier League clubs have been keeping tabs on 21-year-old midfielder, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for him in the coming months.

Camara is highly rated across Europe, and he is considered as one of the brightest African talents right now. The Senegalese International is a tremendous prospect, and he could prove to be a quality long-term investment for the three English clubs.

The Ligue 1 star is a box to box midfielder, who will add a powerful presence to the Tottenham midfield. Apart from his ability to shield the back four and break down opposition’s attacking moves, he is equally good at driving the team forward. With his defensive acumen, physicality, and assured distribution, he has all the tools to develop into a complete midfielder.

Tottenham are in desperate need of a player with his skill set, and he could form a quality partnership with the likes of Pape Matar Sarr, Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur. The North London club have shown interest in signing talented young players and it seems that they are looking to build a formidable squad for the future. It is no surprise that they are keen on the 21-year-old African prodigy.

Liverpool & Chelsea keen on Camara

Liverpool could use a player with his skill set as well. They need a quality defensive midfielder to complement Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister. Camara would be the ideal addition.

Both Tottenham and Liverpool have a proven track record when it comes to nurturing young players and they could help the 21-year-old fulfil his potential.

Finally, Chelsea are keeping tabs on the talented young midfielder as well. However, they are well stocked in the defensive midfield department with Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia. It remains to be seen whether they decide to make a move for the Senegalese midfielder.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Angel Gomes on a free transfer at the end of the season.

The 24-year-old England International will be a free agent in the summer, and he has decided not to sign a contract renewal with LOSC Lille.

According to CaughtOffside, Manchester United want to bring him back to the Premier League, and it will be interesting to see if they can convince their former Academy player to return to Old Trafford.

Meanwhile, Tottenham are keen on the player as well. They need to add more creativity, technical ability and control in the middle of the park, and the 24-year-old would be the ideal acquisition. He will help create goalscoring opportunities for his teammates and add more control to the side.

Angel Gomes could fancy Premier League switch

The England international will want to take the next step in his career and a move to the Premier League could be ideal for him. Tottenham and Manchester United will be attractive destinations for him. Both clubs have an ambitious project and a talented squad. Whoever ends up signing him on a free transfer could have a future star on their hands.

The midfielder is highly rated across Europe and manager Paulo Fonseca has previously labelled him as a “big talent”. Gomes will want to compete at the highest level and fight for trophies regularly. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham or Manchester United can convince the player of their ambitions.

Meanwhile, Tottenham and Manchester United are not the only club keen on signing him. Aston Villa, Newcastle United and West Ham United are keeping tabs on his situation as well. It will be interesting to see if they decide to try and convince the player to join them in the summer.

Tottenham Hotspur’s campaign has been far from smooth, with the club currently sitting in 13th place in the Premier League while already eliminated from both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.

Despite these setbacks, Spurs still have a significant opportunity to salvage their season through the Europa League, where they are set to face AZ Alkmaar in a crucial Round of 16 first-leg encounter.

Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara has suggested that manager Ange Postecoglou should make a drastic tactical shift, prioritising the Europa League over the remainder of their domestic fixtures.

O’Hara believes that Spurs’ chances of securing European qualification through the Premier League are virtually gone due to their inconsistent form and the gap between them and the top spots.

Instead, the pundit has urged Postecoglou to deploy a second-string lineup in league matches, ensuring that the squad’s key players remain fresh for their European campaign.

In the aftermath of Tottenham’s recent defeat to Manchester City, O’Hara emphasised that the upcoming AZ Alkmaar clash is the most important game of Postecoglou’s managerial career so far.

He insisted that winning the Europa League would not only secure silverware but also offer a pathway back to the Champions League, making it a priority over the remaining league fixtures.

Jamie O’Hara tells Ange to play team B vs Bournemouth

Speaking to Sky Sports, O’Hara stated:

“The Premier League is gone for Tottenham, it’s over. This season is done. It doesn’t matter where we finish twelfth, ninth, we’re not going to get European football, but what we can do is win the Europa League.

“AZ Alkmaar is the biggest game of Ange Postecoglou’s career. That’s next week, he wants his best players fit, fresh and ready to go. That’s where all of his whole focus is.

“When we play Bournemouth in between that game, play a B team because the Premier League doesn’t matter now. It ain’t going to change where we finish; it’s gone.”

One of the biggest challenges Spurs have faced this season is their ongoing injury crisis, with up to 11 first-team players sidelined at various points. This instability has led to inconsistent performances and a frustrating run of 14 league defeats.

However, recent weeks have provided a glimmer of hope, as key players such as Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, James Maddison, and Brennan Johnson have returned to action.

With a nearly fit squad and the Europa League presenting the best chance for success, Postecoglou must now decide how to balance his team’s priorities for the rest of the season.

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing for crucial squad decisions ahead of the summer transfer window, with a few players facing uncertain futures at the club.

One of those players is Timo Werner, whose loan spell in North London is unlikely to be extended beyond this season.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has shed light on the situation, revealing that Spurs have already made the decision not to activate the option to sign the German forward permanently.

Romano pointed out that Werner’s time at Tottenham has not unfolded as expected, and both parties see a mutual benefit in moving on. As a result, the expectation is that the forward will return to RB Leipzig before assessing his next career move.

Speculation has also linked Werner with a potential switch to Major League Soccer, with New York Red Bulls rumoured to be interested. However, Romano noted that while there were discussions in January, nothing concrete materialized, leaving his future open to further developments in the summer.

Speaking on Market Madness, Romano said:

“Yeah, I think you’ve been nice with unlikely. I think it’s impossible. From my information, it’s something that they already decided internally.

“It was not a good season for Werner and for Spurs together. So I think it’s in the interest of both parties to try something different next season. So the expectation is for Werner to return to Leipzig and then to try a new experience.

“In terms of MLS and New York, what I was hearing in January when this rumour started for the January window is that there was nothing really concrete into it. Let’s see for the summer. In January was never really close, from what I heard.”

Werner initially arrived at Tottenham on loan from RB Leipzig in January 2024 and made an immediate impression by assisting Rodrigo Bentancur’s goal in a 2-2 draw against Manchester United on his debut. However, despite flashes of quality, a lack of consistency and injuries have prevented him from making a significant impact.

So far this season, Werner has featured in 27 matches across all competitions, largely as a substitute, registering just one goal and three assists. A hamstring injury earlier this year also forced him to miss 10 games, further disrupting his momentum.

With Tottenham bringing in 19-year-old Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich on loan—with an option to buy for €55 million—it appears increasingly unlikely that Spurs will prioritize retaining the 28-year-old Werner beyond this campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur made several loan moves last summer to reshape their squad, with Manor Solomon among the players temporarily departing North London.

The Israeli winger joined Leeds United on a season-long loan and has since played a vital role in their promotion push.

Under the guidance of Daniel Farke, the Whites currently sit at the top of the Championship table with a three-point lead, and Solomon has been instrumental in their success.

His impressive performances have fueled speculation about a permanent move, and while Leeds are keen on keeping him beyond this season, Farke has made it clear that any decision will depend on the club securing promotion, refusing to rule out a summer move.

The German manager acknowledged that Solomon’s future remains uncertain, as it involves discussions between three parties—Leeds, Tottenham, and the player himself. He stressed that no final decision will be made until the season concludes and Leeds’ league status is confirmed.

Speaking to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Farke stated:

“I always like to be in the driver’s seat as a club but if you have a loan agreement you’re not in the driver’s seat, there are more or less three parties.

“It’s not our players, you have to totally respect they are with us, that’s great, we enjoy the time and then there is a time to speak about what the future might bring.

“It’s not during the season, especially during a crucial time. You sometimes start talks behind the scenes before the end of the season. It will be crucial for them and their mother clubs, where we will be next season. Before it’s confirmed it doesn’t make sense to make decisions. It will only be made when it’s confirmed in which league we will play.”

Solomon arrived at Tottenham in July 2023 on a free transfer after leaving Shakhtar Donetsk, signing a five-year contract. He made his Premier League debut as a substitute in a 2-0 win against Manchester United and later assisted twice in a 5-2 victory over Burnley.

Despite showing promise, the 25-year-old was sent on loan due to the competition for places in Spurs’ attacking lineup. Since moving to Elland Road, he has flourished, recording seven goals and eight assists in 30 appearances across all competitions. (Transfermarkt)

His strong performances have solidified his importance to Leeds’ promotion bid, making him a potential long-term asset for the club.

If Leeds secure a return to the Premier League, a permanent transfer for Solomon could be on the cards. With Tottenham already well-stocked in attack, the winger may be set for a fresh chapter away from North London.

Aston Villa are reportedly keen on signing James Maddison from Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the season.

The 28-year-old has established himself as a player for the north London club since joining them from Leicester City. However, his performances have been inconsistent at times, and the player has attracted criticism because of that. Maddison has been labelled as Tottenham’s “main man” recently.

Regardless, Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is impressed with the player, and he has identified the England international as his main target for the summer transfer window. According to a report from Fichajes, Tottenham are in no hurry to sell the player, and they would only sanction his departure for a substantial offer.

It will be interesting to see if Aston Villa are willing to pay over the odds for the 28-year-old playmaker. They are pushing for European qualification and they need quality players in order to improve further. There is no doubt that Maddison would help them improve further. He will help create goal-scoring opportunities in the final third and find the back of the net as well.

Aston Villa do not need James Maddison

With that said, the West Midlands club already have a similar player in Morgan Rogers and he has done quite well for them so far. It will be interesting to see how they accommodate both players in the starting lineup. Maddison is unlikely to sit on the bench at Aston Villa if he joins the club. He will seek gametime assurances before committing to a move.

Aston Villa need to improve the other areas of their squad as well, and spending a substantial amount of money on an attacking midfielder does not make a lot of sense. They should prioritise the other areas of their squad. They are already well-stocked in the attacking midfield unit with Rogers and Marco Asensio (on loan).

Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are keen on signing the Barcelona attacker Ferran Torres during the summer transfer window.

The 24-year-old has struggled for regular game time at the Spanish club, and he has been linked with a move away from Camp Nou. According to a report from Fichajes, he will cost around €40 million during the summer transfer window.

The report states that Tottenham and Arsenal are persistent in their pursuit of the player, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. Tottenham could use a dynamic forward who is capable of slotting anywhere across the front three and will contribute with goals and creativity.

The reported asking price seems reasonable for a player of his quality and potential. He has played in the Premier League before with Manchester City and he won the league title with them during his time in English football. He has the experience and the quality to settle in quickly and make an immediate impact in England.

Arsenal keen on Ferran Torres

Similarly, Arsenal need more depth in the final third as well. They have not been able to rotate key players like Bukayo Saka due to the lack of options. The Spanish international could be the ideal acquisition for them. He is capable of slotting in anywhere across the front three.

The 24-year-old will be desperate for regular game time and a move to Arsenal or Tottenham could be exciting for him. They are among the biggest clubs in the country and they could provide him with a competitive platform and more exposure.

The two clubs have the financial muscle to pay €40 million for him, and it will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official offer to sign the player in the coming months.
