RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko is a player in demand heading into the summer transfer window.

Multiple top clubs are keen on signing the Slovenian international and Tottenham Hotspur have now joined the race for him.

According to a report from Caught offside, Tottenham have significant interest in the 21-year-old striker and they could look to make a move for him in the summer. The player has an €80 million release clause in his contract and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to break their transfer record in order to get the deal done.

Tottenham recently paid £65 million for Dominic Solanke and it remains to be seen whether they are ready to spend big money on another striker. They need to improve the other areas of their squad as well.

Sesko would be a quality addition

Sesko has proven himself to be a reliable performer in the Bundesliga and he has 17 goals in all competitions. He is likely to improve further with coaching and experience and he has all the attributes to succeed in the Premier League well.

He could prove to be an exceptional acquisition for Tottenham if they can get the deal done. They need more support in the attack and signing another clinical forward could transform them in the attack. They will be hoping to fight for major trophies and someone like Sesko will certainly help them bridge the gap with the top clubs.

Tottenham Hotspur’s difficulties this season extended into the Europa League, as they fell to a frustrating 1-0 defeat against AZ Alkmaar in the first leg of their Round of 16 clash.

The match’s decisive moment came in the 1st half when an unfortunate own goal from Lucas Bergvall gifted the Dutch side the advantage heading into the return leg in North London.

Bergvall’s mishap occurred when Koopmeiners delivered a dangerous corner into the box.

As Parrott attempted to clear the ball, it ricocheted off Bergvall and into Tottenham’s net, leaving goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario helpless.

Despite the setback, the young midfielder showed resilience and composure, making key defensive contributions throughout the remainder of the match.

Spurs struggled to create meaningful opportunities, finishing with an expected goals (xG) tally of just 0.44 compared to AZ’s 1.57.

Vicario was called into action multiple times to keep the deficit at just one goal, but Ange Postecoglou’s men failed to find the attacking spark needed to break through AZ’s defensive setup.

Following the final whistle, Bergvall was seen raising his hands in apology to the travelling Spurs supporters.

BBC Sport reported that the Swedish youngster acknowledged his costly mistake while joining his teammates in applauding the away fans.

Although his own goal proved to be the difference on the night, Bergvall demonstrated his determination by recovering well in the second half.

His response suggests he is eager to move forward and contribute positively in the return leg.

With the tie still open, Tottenham must produce a significantly improved display at home to turn the result around.

The second leg at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium presents an opportunity for redemption, but before that, Postecoglou’s side must first navigate an important Premier League fixture against Bournemouth.

This has been a second season of hardship at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Ange’s initial season having started brightly enough, but this time around, the big man has been absolutely plagued by injuries. In truth, Ange did have some similar issues at Celtic, but it remains to be seen, if here were to secure a third term in North London, if the same misfortune were to continue. Should that be the case, then it’s almost certain, more serious questions would be asked.

We’ve fallen in love with several of the great casino games at Unibet HU, but Spurs fans are certainly split on whether Ange Postecoglou is truly up to the task. To many, despite his points per game or win percentage ratio, the Australian has become a figurehead for sticking with a manager. The risk of this frankly ‘hell or high water’ approach is somewhat mitigated by the fact that it would be mathematically impossible for Tottenham to engineer relegation even if they tried.

Another factor at play here is the much lauded business model of ENIC, and how the spreadsheets will tally with the absence of European football. Of course, this side could win the competition, and certainly the bookmakers favour us, but it’s quite a gamble, needing to win a tournament, in order to secure being in it again, the next time around.

Tottenham Hotspur will look to improve their squad during the summer transfer window and they have identified the central midfield as a key area in need of strengthening.

According to football insider, they are looking to bring in a marquee signing to improve their midfield options. It remains to be seen whether they can get the right additions in.

Tottenham need more depth in the middle of the park, and they should look to bring in someone who can control the tempo of the game and initiate attacking moves from the deep. Meanwhile, Yves Bissouma has been linked with a move away from the club and Tottenham could look to sell him in the summer. They should look to invest in a quality defensive midfielder as well.

They have been linked with midfielders like Frenkie de Jong in recent months.

Tottenham will be hoping to fight for trophies and compete in the Champions League regularly. They need to plug the gaps in their squad in order for that to happen. They have the resources to bring in quality players, and it will be interesting to see who they end up with.

It has been a disappointing season for Tottenham so far and they are likely to miss out on Champions League qualification. However, they could still secure European qualification for the next season if they can finish the season strongly. It will be interesting to see if they can put together winning run and finish the campaign on a high.

They have done well to improve their squad over the last few windows and Ange Postecoglou has been backed significantly. The Australian manager will now be expected to deliver the results on the pitch and a strong finish to the season could reinforce the club hierarchy’s belief in him.

Angel Gomes has been linked with a move to the Premier League at the end of the season and multiple clubs are keen on securing his signature.

Tottenham are hoping to sign the 24-year-old England international on a free transfer and Fabrizio Romano has now confirmed that Gomes will certainly leave in the summer. His contract with the French club expires in a few months and he has decided not to sign an extension with them.

He said: “Yes, Premier League is a possibility for Angel Gomes while also clubs in the Bundesliga asked for information to his new agents. He will 100% leave Lille.”

Tottenham could certainly use more creativity and control in the midfield, and the 24-year-old could prove to be an excellent acquisition. Signing a player of his quality and potential on a free transfer would represent an excellent business..

Multiple other English clubs are keeping tabs on his situation, and it will be interesting to see where the player ends up. The opportunity to move to the Premier League can be quite exciting. The former Manchester United Academy graduate might feel that he has unfinished business in the Premier League and he will want to prove himself in English football.

Tottenham could provide him with that platform.

The 24-year-old is capable of operating as a central midfielder as well as an attacking midfielder. He is an expert when it comes to creating goalscoring opportunities for his teammates with his passing, technical ability, vision, and close control.

Tottenham are in desperate need of a player with his skill set, and it remains to be seen whether they can convince the player to join them. The midfielder is still relatively young, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a key player for Tottenham in the coming seasons.

Tottenham are looking to sign the Southampton winger Tyler Dibling at the end of the season.

The 19-year-old has decided not to sign a new contract with Southampton and Tottenham are hoping to secure his signature in the summer. They believe that a deal could be done for a fee of around £30-35 million.

According to Give Me Sport, they have already made contact with the player’s camp and Dibling is reportedly sold on their project. Tottenham certainly have the financial means to get the deal across the line and it will be interesting to see if they can wrap up the move in the coming months.

The 19-year-old is highly rated across the country and he has a bright future ahead of himself. Southampton are one of the favourites to go down this season and Dibling will not want to compete in the Championship with them. He has proven his worth in the Premier League, and he will want to stay in the top flight.

Spurs will be an attractive destination for him and they could provide him with the platform to fight for trophies regularly. In addition to that, regular football in the Premier League could help him improve further. Tottenham have done well to nurture talented young players in recent years and they could help the 19-year-old fulfil his tremendous potential.

The player certainly has the potential to justify an investment of around £30-35 million. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham are prepared to pay up. He could prove to be a bargain in future if he continues to develop over the next few seasons.

Tottenham need more cutting edge in the final third and the 19-year-old is versatile enough to operate on both flanks. He will add goals and creativity to side from the wide areas.

Pundit names the Tottenham player who will attract the most interest in the summer if Spurs fail to qualify for Europe

Tottenham Hotspur’s season has been filled with challenges, with their hopes of securing European football hanging by a thread.

Currently positioned 13th in the Premier League, Spurs are highly unlikely to qualify for Europe through their league finish. Their only realistic path to securing a spot is by winning the Europa League.

With the club’s future in Europe uncertain, speculation has emerged regarding the long-term futures of several key players.

Ian Darke: Dominic Solanke to attract significant interest in the summer

TV commentator Ian Darke has suggested that Dominic Solanke, in particular, could attract significant interest from other clubs if Tottenham fail to qualify.

Darke pointed out that while Spurs boast a promising core of young talents, including Mathys Tel, Kevin Danso, and Brennan Johnson—who are expected to remain at the club—Solanke’s situation could be different.

As one of the Premier League’s most consistent strikers, the 27-year-old would likely be a top target for clubs in need of a prolific forward should the Lilywhites miss out on Europe.

Darke also highlighted that players like Micky van de Ven and James Maddison could be on the radar of top teams, though Solanke would be the most in demand.

Speaking to Tottenham News, the commentator stated:

“They’ve got plenty of new and younger players who I think would stick around regardless. Tel looks like he’ll be at Tottenham permanently, and then there’s Danso; Brennan Johnson should stay.

“Solanke is one of the top four or five strikers in the Premier League and I’d say he will likely be a target when fit if they’re not in Europe; Micky van de Ven might have a lot of admirers and then there’s James Maddison too.

“I’m not sure if too many of them, based on this year’s form, have forced themselves onto the radar of many big clubs. I would lean towards Solanke having the most admirers.”

Solanke’s time at Tottenham

Tottenham signed Solanke from Bournemouth in August 2024 for a club-record fee of £55 million, potentially rising to £65 million with add-ons. He made an immediate impact, netting his first Premier League goal in a 3-1 win over Brentford and scoring his first European goal in a 3-0 victory against Qarabağ FK in the Europa League.

However, an untimely knee injury in January has kept him sidelined for 12 matches. Despite this setback, he has still managed 11 goals and six assists in 29 appearances across all competitions.

With Champions League qualification now hinging on their Europa League campaign, Tottenham must not only secure silverware but also retain key figures like Solanke to build for the future.

Tottenham Hotspur are gearing up for the summer transfer window, identifying key targets to strengthen their squad ahead of the next campaign.

One player who has caught the attention of Spurs’ recruitment team is Real Betis midfielder Johnny Cardoso.

Johnny Cardoso likely to join Tottenham in the summer

The American international delivered an outstanding performance against Real Madrid last weekend, which as per the latest report from GiveMeSport, impressed Tottenham’s recruiting department and increasing the likelihood of a potential move to North London. The report states that the player is now ‘increasingly likely’ to join Spurs in the summer.

Spurs are now seriously considering activating their preferential option to sign Cardoso, which was secured as part of Giovani Lo Celso’s transfer to Betis. The agreement allows the Lilywhites to sign the 23-year-old for a set fee of €25 million during a specific two-week window in the upcoming transfer window.

Club officials view Cardoso as a promising long-term investment, believing he has the qualities needed to succeed in the Premier League. Although he recently extended his contract with Betis until 2030, Tottenham hold a strategic advantage in negotiations due to their pre-arranged purchase option.

It a recent interview, Cardoso refused to rule out a move away, stating that he will let his father and agent sort out his future in due course of time.

Cardoso has impressed with his performances of late

Cardoso began his professional career with Internacional in Brazil before making the switch to La Liga in December 2023. Since joining Real Betis, he has become a crucial figure in their midfield, making 31 appearances across all competitions while registering two goals and an assist this season.

His recent display against Real Madrid further strengthened his reputation, as he netted an important equaliser in a 2-1 victory, heading home past Thibaut Courtois from a corner kick.

With Tottenham looking to bolster their midfield, Cardoso could be viewed as a potential successor to Yves Bissouma, whose future at the club remains uncertain.

As the summer transfer window nears, Spurs will continue to track Cardoso’s development, with growing confidence that he could be a valuable addition to Ange Postecoglou’s squad.

Southampton winger Tyler Dibling has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season and Tottenham Hotspur are confident of signing him.

The 19-year-old has established himself as one of the finest young prospects in the Premier League and he has impressed in the top flight this season, despite Southampton’s struggles.

According to TBR Football, Tottenham are leading the race to secure his signature and the player will cost £50 million this summer. He has been linked with Chelsea and Manchester United as well.

The North London club need to add more quality and depth to their attacking unit, and the versatile attacker would be the ideal acquisition. Although he is a right-sided winger, he is capable of operating on both flanks. He will add goals, pace, and flair to the side.

Tottenham need to add more unpredictability to the attacking unit and the 19-year-old would be the ideal acquisition. He could prove to be an upgrade on players like Timo Werner and Richarlison. The 19-year-old is likely to improve with coaching and experience and the opportunity to play for a big club like Tottenham will be quite exciting for him.

Dibling open to Spurs move

The player has already informed Southampton that he does not wish to sign a new deal with them. He is open to moving to Tottenham and the North London side should look to get the deal done quickly.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to pay £50 million for the player in the coming months. He has been described as a “special player” by Danny Murphy on BBC and he could justify the investment in the coming seasons.

Tottenham have done well to bring in several talented young players in recent months, and it seems that they are looking to build a formidable squad for the future.

Tottenham join Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea in Benjamin Sesko race

Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs keen on signing the RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.

The 21-year-old Slovenian is highly rated across Europe, and he is regarded as one of the finest young talents in European football right now. Clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea are keen on signing the player as well.

According to Florian Plettenberg, Tottenham are keeping tabs on the ‘top striker’, but they have very little chance of getting the deal done. It will be interesting to see if they decide to try their luck in the summer. The striker is likely to cost around €80 million.

Tottenham recently signed Dominic Solanke for a club record fee, and it seems unlikely that they will surpass that investment for another striker. Even though they need more quality and depth in the attacking unit, they will probably look at a cheaper alternative.

Tottenham will need to improve the other areas of their squad, and they cannot afford to splash €80 million on another striker.

With that said, the 21-year-old is an elite prospect and he could justify the €80 million pricetag in the coming seasons. He has 17 goals and five assists to his name this season and he is only going to improve with coaching and experience.

Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea keen

It remains to be seen whether Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea come forward with an official offer to sign him.

Arsenal need an upgrade on Gabriel Jesus and the Slovenian could be the ideal long-term investment for them. As for Manchester United, he could replace Joshua Zirkzee, who has not been able to live up to the expectations since the move from Italy.

As far as Chelsea are concerned, they need more support in the attack. Nicolas Jackson has shown improvement this season, but Chelsea need more options at their disposal. Sesko could prove to be a quality acquisition for the Blues and he could share the goalscoring burden with Jackson and Cole Palmer.
