The Boy Hotspur

Tottenham are interested in signing the RB Leipzig attacking midfielder Xavi Simons during the summer transfer window.

According to a report from Ben Jacobs on Give Me Sport, Tottenham are keen on the player, and they have made an active enquiry for him.

It will be interesting to see if they decide to come forward with an official approach for the player in the coming weeks. They could use more depth in the attacking unit, and the 22-year-old would be a quality addition.

The Netherlands international is on the radar of clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal as well. Apparently, the player has asked to move on this summer, and it remains to be seen where he ends up.

Spurs could move for Xavi Simons

Ben Jacobs has revealed that it could be the kind of deal that happens later on in the window. The future of Son Heung-min could play a key role in a potential move as well. The South Korean has been linked with a move away from Tottenham, and he could be sold before the transfer window closes.

Jacobs said: “At the moment, I can only tell you about Spurs, who have made an active enquiry to just understand on the player’s side the desire and price, but nothing advanced.

“It might be the kind of deal that happens later in the window, we were speaking earlier about how Son is going to go off and do pre-season with Spurs and then decide after that decide his future.”

The 32-year-old is at the twilight stages of his career, and this could be the right time for Tottenham to cash in on him and bring in an alternative.

Simons would improve Spurs

Meanwhile, the Netherlands international has been outstanding for the German club in the Bundesliga last season. He scored 10 goals and picked up 7 assists.

There is no doubt that he would add some much-needed cutting edge in the final third for Tottenham if they can get the deal done. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Simons is capable of operating both centrally and on the flanks. His versatility will be a bonus for the team if they can get the deal done.

LOSC Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier has been linked with a move away from France in recent weeks, and he has impressed Tottenham with his performances.

According to TBR football, Tottenham are looking at multiple goalkeepers as a potential replacement for Guglielmo Vicario. The Italian has been criticised for his inability to deal with set pieces, and Tottenham are looking at potential alternatives.

The 23-year-old French goalkeeper is one of the players on their radar. It will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for him. He has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in Ligue 1, and he could develop into a top-class player with the right guidance.

Tottenham are looking at multiple goalkeepers

Bailey told TBR Football: “In terms of goalkeepers who have impressed – they do like James Trafford.

“Others I am told who have impressed them are French duo Guillaume Restes and Lucas Chevalier, whilst there are two in Italy in the shape of Parma’s Japanese star Zion Suzuki and Atalanta’s Marco Carnesecchi. All of whom could be available at the right price.”

Lucas Chevalier fancies Premier League move

The player has previously admitted that he dreams of a move to the Premier League. The opportunity to join Tottenham could be quite exciting for him, and he’s likely to be tempted if they come calling. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can bring in quality additions over the next few weeks.

They will be hoping to fight for trophies next year. They have secured Champions League qualification, and top players will be attracted to the idea of joining them.

Joining a big club in the Premier League would be ideal for Chevalier. It would be the ideal next step in his career, and it will help him fulfil his potential. He will look to fight for trophies with the North London club if the transfer goes through.

Meanwhile, Tottenham will be hoping to agree on a reasonable deal to sign the player. It remains to be seen whether they decide to replace the Italian goalkeeper with Chevalier this summer. Alternatively, the French goalkeeper could compete with the Italian for the starting spot. More depth in the squad could help Tottenham improve as a team.

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a surprise summer move for the Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah.

The 22-year-old is expected to leave the Premier League champions this summer, and he has been linked with Bayer Leverkusen as well. The German club are close to securing his services for a fee of around £30 million.

Spurs now keen on Liverpool ace

However, a report from TBR football claims that Tottenham are interested in him as well. It remains to be seen whether they come forward with an offer to sign the player. The opportunity to play in the Premier League regularly will be quite exciting for the defender, and Tottenham could be an attractive destination.

They will be able to offer him Champions League football next season. The young defender is highly rated across Europe, and former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has labelled him as “special” in the past.

Move back on: Tottenham now eyeing “amazing” 26-year-old after Thomas Frank approval

Jarell Quansah would be a future asset

The 22-year-old will only improve with coaching and experience. He has the attributes to develop into a reliable Premier League defender. Apart from his defensive qualities, he is extremely good with the ball at his feet. He will add calmness and composure to the Tottenham back line if he joins the club.

Even though he is likely to cost around €40 million, the player has the ability to justify the investment in future. He would be a solid long-term investment for the club.

Tottenham need to act quickly if they want to beat the German club to his signature. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Quansah will be desperate for regular game time. Tottenham will have to provide him with gametime assurance in order to convince him to join the club.

It will be interesting to see if Liverpool are willing to sell the Premier League-winning defender to a rival club. They will probably prefer if he moved abroad.

Tottenham Hotspur are set to move for the Crystal Palace attacker Eberechi Eze after the approval from Thomas Frank.

According to TBR football, the move is now back on after the newly appointed manager informed the club officials that he likes the 26-year-old. The Crystal Palace attacker is certainly one of the best in the Premier League, and he was outstanding for them last season.

He was crucial to their FA Cup-winning campaign, and he might look to move on and join a bigger club now. Tottenham will be an exciting opportunity for him. They will be able to offer him Champions League football and the platform to push for trophies regularly.

Spurs need more attacking depth

Tottenham need more creativity and cutting edge in the final third, and the England international could be the ideal acquisition.

He is capable of operating both centrally and on the flanks. He will help carve out opportunities for his teammates and score goals as well. Eze has been a reliable performer in the Premier League, and he would be a no-risk addition.

Eberechi Eze would be a quality signing

Eze has been labelled as an “amazing” player by Oliver Glasner. He is at the peak of his career, and he could make an instant impact at the north London club. He is well settled in the Premier League, and he is unlikely to need time to adapt.

He scored 14 goals and picked up 11 assists last season. His numbers could improve when he’s playing in a better team alongside top-quality players. The move to Tottenham could bring out the best in him.

This is a series I began a while back, and one I find perhaps the most rewarding. After all, how natural is it for two blokes to go down to the pub and talk about football?

In this episode, I venture out to the beautiful Malvern Hills to meet with Chris, a subscriber to The Boy Hotspur substack, to chat about Thomas Frank and what tangible difference he might make to a side which papered over some rather large cracks last term, by winning a trophy.

Did you realise the margins that the former Brentford boss was making at the G Tech? No wonder Daniel is keen.

Maybe this one makes lots of sense!

One crucial aspect of a new coach overseeing the regime at Tottenham next season is the likelihood that our strikers will become more of a focal point.

At its best, and we are talking about a little more than ten games across two seasons, Ange Postecoglou’s system was all about inclusivity, to a point whereby it was frequently difficult to reason why so much money had been spent on Richarlison or Dominic Solanke.

Neither has provided a decent recent on the investment made.

Solanke, with an array of mixed talent around him at Bournemouth, produced more goals than he has at Tottenham. It is always a tell-tale sign at Spurs that the excuses start to come out when a player isn’t delivering what they were hired to do.

Excusing the player’s shortfalls

With goalkeepers, it’s usually that he’s a great shot stopper (meaning he concedes freely when he doesn’t stop a shot). With strikers, it’s usually some toffee about the sterling work he does off the ball (meaning he can’t do what he’s been paid to and score).

View From The Lane podcast

Jay Harris, previously the Brentford correspondent who is now full-time on Spurs for The Athletic, said the following on the View From The Lane podcast.

“I think Solanke will excel under Thomas Frank, and I have a suspicion he tells Solanke to be more selfish. I think he’ll tell Solanke to concentrate on getting into the six-yard box a lot more. I remember he did something very similar with Ivan Toney.

I interviewed Toney once, and he said that there were times when he was so concentrated on taking the ball into the box, Frank told him:

“‘Don’t bother with that. This team is going to be set up to provide for you,’ and I can see him doing something similar with Solanke.”

Ivan Toney magic at Tottenham

When it comes to how Frank will make a meaningful difference at Spurs, we will be wanting to provide a tactical revolution, which is something, albeit modestly, he was able to create at Brentford.

If Frank can put in place a system whereby Solanke, in particular, can be fed continuous opportunities to finish, the aspirations around the boy could finally be realised. Could Solanke be our very own Ivan Toney?

Tottenham need their strikers to strike – the clue is in the name.

Finishing 17th is not acceptable, under any circumstances.

Tottenham Hotspur attacker Son Heung-min has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months, and it appears that Thomas Frank has made a decision on his future.

The Denmark manager is not going to force him out of the club, but the 32-year-old will spend quite a lot of time on the bench if he stays at the North London club. He is no longer a key player for the club, and Frank has already made up his mind regarding the South Korean, as per TBR Football.

Son Heung-min should move on

It would be ideal for the 32-year-old to move on. Sitting on the bench at Tottenham is unlikely to be an appealing option for him at this stage of his career. Son is in the twilight stages of his career, and he needs to play more often.

It will be interesting to see where he ends up. He has been linked with clubs in Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

He has been an exceptional servant for Tottenham over the years, but he is clearly on the decline. He was not at his best last season, and he struggled with injury problems as well. This could be the right time for Tottenham to cut ties with the player and bring a younger alternative.

Can Spurs replace him?

Tottenham are already lacking in quality and depth in the final third. Losing the South Korean will weaken them further. It will be interesting to see if they can bring in quality additions this summer.

It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few weeks. Son is not just a quality player; he is also a leader for Tottenham. Replacing him will be a challenge for them.

Meanwhile, the report claims that they are looking at players like Antoine Semenyo, Eberechi Eze and Bryan Mbeumo. All three players have been excellent in the Premier League last season, and they could prove to be interesting acquisitions.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the OGC Nice attacker Evann Guessand this summer.

The 23-year-old attacker has done quite well last season, and he scored 13 goals. He picked up 10 assists in all competitions as well. Tottenham have been scouting him for months.

The Ivorian could prove to be an excellent addition to the Tottenham attacking unit, and they have already made contact with his representatives regarding a summer move. However, they will face competition from multiple clubs this summer.

Guessand is a player in demand

Turkish outfit Fenerbahce are keen on the player, and Jose Mourinho has already spoken with the player. It remains to be seen whether he can beat his former club to the signing.

In England, Leeds United, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Wolves and West Ham are keen on the player, as per TBR Football.

The 23-year-old could be attracted to the idea of joining a big club, and a move to Tottenham will be tempting for him. The opportunity to play in the Premier League can be hard to turn down. It remains to be seen whether the player is ready to move to England.

Tottenham have the finances to get the deal across the line, and they will be hoping to convince the player.

Tottenham could use Evann Guessand

They need more depth in the final third, and the 23-year-old will add some much-needed cutting edge to the side. He could share the goalscoring burden with Dominic Solanke next season. Although he is naturally a centre forward, he can operate on either flank as well.

Guessand has been likened to the Chelsea icon Didier Drogba because of his physicality and style of play.

Tottenham have appointed a quality manager like Thomas Frank, and they will look to improve the squad now. It remains to be seen whether they can bring in the necessary additions during the summer transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur are plotting a surprise move for the West Ham United attacker Mohammed Kudus during the summer transfer window.

According to a report from The Guardian, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is willing to submit an offer of around £50 million for the player. The Ghanaian International has an €85 million release clause in his contract, and it will be interesting to see if West Ham are prepared to sanction his departure for a knockdown fee.

Can Tottenham get the deal done?

Tottenham have not done business with West Ham since 2011, and the report claims that Levy does not get on well with the club’s owners. It remains to be seen whether he can get a deal done for the 24-year-old.

There is no doubt that he is a quality player, and he has shown his ability in the Premier League. Kudus is capable of operating anywhere across the front three, and he will add creativity and goals to the side.

Tottenham looked mediocre going forward last season, and they need someone with his skill set. Other Premier League clubs are keeping tabs on him as well.

Mohammed Kudus could fancy a Spurs move

The opportunity to join a big club like Tottenham will be exciting for him. He will want to compete at a high level, and Tottenham will be able to provide him with Champions League football as well. He will look to take the next step in his career, and Tottenham could be the ideal destination.

It will be interesting to see if the two rival clubs can work out a deal that benefits them both.

Tottenham Hotspur have been named as a potential destination for the Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish.

The 29-year-old has struggled for regular game time at Manchester City, and he is expected to be on the move this summer. According to a report from CaughtOffside, Tottenham are one of the clubs keen on securing his signature.

Tottenham could use the Manchester City midfielder

They could use more depth in the final third, and the 29-year-old is certainly capable of operating in multiple roles. He can slot into the wide areas as well as the central attacking midfield role. Grealish will help create goal-scoring opportunities for his teammates and look to find the back of the net as well.

He has not been at his best since leaving Aston Villa, and he will be desperate to get back to that level. He was regarded as one of the finest playmakers in the Premier League during his time at the West Midlands club. He is the fourth most expensive Premier League signing of all time, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham bring out the best in him.

Jack Grealish could be available on a bargain

Manchester City are unlikely to be able to demand a premium for him. His performances have been mediocre, and he is not a key player for them. Clubs will be hoping to sign him for a knock-down price this summer. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can sign him for a reasonable amount of money.

He is still very much at the peak of his powers, and he could be an asset for the North London club if they manage to help him regain his form and confidence. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

The midfielder will be desperate to get his career back on track with regular game time, and a move to the North London club would be ideal for him. They could provide him with the platform to fight for trophies and compete in the Champions League.
