The Boy Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Juventus wing-back Andrea Cambiaso.

The 24-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League and the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City and Aston Villa are keen on securing his signature as well. According to a report from Caught Offside, the player will cost around €55 million.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham are prepared to pay that kind of money for the player. They could certainly use more depth in the left-back department. Ben Davies will be out of contract at the end of the season and Destiny Udogie has not been at his best this season. More competition for places will help Tottenham improve as a squad. The Italian could prove to be an exceptional acquisition.

Even though the €55 million asking price seems like a premium right now, Cambiaso could justify the investment in the long term. It remains to be seen whether Daniel Levy is ready to loosen the purse strings to get the deal done.

Arsenal and Manchester City certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal across the line. Both clubs need more depth in the full-back areas and Cambiaso would be a quality addition for them as well. Arsenal need to find an upgrade on Oleksandr Zinchenko and Cambiaso could help them improve at both ends of the pitch. Apart from his defensive qualities, he is very effective going forward as well.

The 24-year-old could be tempted to move to the Premier League. Clubs like Arsenal and Tottenham will be attractive destinations for the player. They could provide him with the opportunity to compete at the highest level and fight for trophies.

It will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison wants to leave the club.

According to a report from Football Insider, the Brazilian International has informed his friends that he wants to leave the North London outfit.

The player has not been able to live up to the expectations since the £60 million move from Everton. His performances have been underwhelming and he has struggled with injury problems as well. The player has made just one start in all competitions this season and Tottenham need better options at their disposal.

It is unlikely to be a major blow for Tottenham if he decides to move on. Tottenham need to bring in an upgrade on him if they want to push for major trophies. It remains to be seen whether they can recoup a substantial amount of money for the player. It is fair to assume that they will not be able to secure their investment in the player, and they will have to accept a loss on him.

It will be interesting to see where Richarlison ends up. There is no doubt that he is a quality player when he is fit and performing at his best. However, he has not been able to hit top form at Tottenham. Moving away from the London club would be ideal for him. A fresh start could bring out the best in the South American once again.

He needs to join a club where he will get regular first-team action. There is unlikely to be a shortage of clubs hoping to sign the player. He has the physicality and technical attributes to play for a top club and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham sanction his departure this month.

Tottenham Hotspur are very interested in signing the Paris Saint-Germain defender Milan Skriniar.

According to a report from L’Equipe via SportWitness, there is a real desire to get the deal done and it will be interesting to see if they can secure an agreement with the French outfit.

The 29-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from PSG and a move to the Premier League could be an exciting opportunity for him.

Spurs need defensive depth in the side and the Slovakian International could prove to be a quality acquisition. He has proven himself in Italy and France. He has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in English football as well.

The 29-year-old defender is at the peak of his power and he will look to hit the ground running in the Premier League if the transfer goes through. He will look to compete for major trophies with Tottenham in the coming seasons.

The London club have a quality squad and a charismatic manager at their disposal. They need to add more quality to the side to compete with the elite clubs. Skriniar will certainly help them improve defensively. They are currently without Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven due to injuries and Tottenham have struggled in their absence. Radu Dragusin is the only other fit central defender at the club, and they need additions in that area of the pitch if they want to do well. It will be interesting to see if they can bring in the right additions before the January window closes.

James Maddison’s position at Tottenham appears increasingly uncertain, with the playmaker seemingly falling out of favour under manager Ange Postecoglou.

Former Tottenham scout Bryan King has speculated that a behind-the-scenes issue between Maddison and Postecoglou may be the reason for his recent lack of game time.

Bryan King: Something has happened between James Maddison and Ange Postecoglou

King shared his concerns about Maddison’s situation, highlighting how the player’s reduced minutes could jeopardise his international career. Maddison was notably left out of England’s Euro squad in the summer, and King believes his current lack of regular football could further damage his prospects.

Maddison’s situation has fuelled speculation about his long-term future at the club. King believes the midfielder could consider a move away from Tottenham if his role doesn’t improve.

Speaking to Tottenham News, he said:

“What Maddison needs is regular football.”

“Otherwise, his international career is over. At the moment he isn’t playing regularly, and suddenly someone who was Spurs’ outstanding player at one point has become a squad player.

“After he came on against Arsenal we saw little petulant incidents from Maddison, complaining about fouls and so on. If I were Maddison I’d be questioning whether or not Postecoglou and the staff think I’m good enough. If an 18-year-old is starting ahead of him, something has to be going on behind the scenes.

“If he is going to move, I don’t think it will be until the summer. Something has happened between Maddison and Postecoglou, and it doesn’t sit well with me at all. He’s not enjoying his football, you can see that. Postecoglou isn’t transmitting any confidence in supposedly one of the club’s star players.”

Maddison joined Tottenham from Leicester City last summer and quickly became a fan favourite with his creative displays. In his first 10 games, he scored three goals and provided five assists, cementing his status as a key player in Postecoglou’s system.

However, an injury during a clash against Chelsea sidelined him for 10 matches, and Maddison has struggled to regain his pre-injury form.

Last season, he managed just one goal and four assists after his return, finishing the campaign with four goals and nine assists in the Premier League.

This season, his performances have remained inconsistent. Despite showing glimpses of his brilliance—scoring eight goals and assisting four in 21 appearances—Maddison has not started in Tottenham’s last four games. Recently, 18-year-old Lucas Bergvall has been favoured ahead of him, raising questions about his standing within the squad.

TBH Says:

Given his impactful performances in the games he has played, his absence from the starting XI recently does make one wonder if there is more to it.

If what King says is true and he has fallen out with Ange behind the scenes, he could be on his way out at the end of the season.

Ange Postecoglou has spoken about Tottenham Hotspur’s failed pursuit of Randal Kolo Muani.

The Lilywhites have suffered from a chronic injury crisis this season, leaving their squad stretched almost to breaking point.

With that in mind, it’s no surprise to see the club linked with a host of players in the January transfer window.

PSG star Kolo Muani was one such player, with Spurs thought to be in talks with the French club as recently as three days ago.

A 27-time France international — scoring eight goals — Kolo Muani could have added serious firepower to the Spurs forward line, despite his relative struggles since joining PSG from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer of 2023.

Ange Postecoglou comments on Randal Kolo Muani

It now appears Kolo Muani is set to join Italian giants Juventus.

Naturally, Postecoglou has been asked about missing out on the French striker and whether he was even pursuing him in the first place.

“We were in… Well, it depends what you mean for in,” he responded when asked to confirm whether Spurs were ‘in for’ Kolo Muani (via Football.London). “We’ve been interested and were looking at a number of players. But did we get to the point where we thought he was coming to us? No.”

Asked if missing out on the forward was a ‘big setback’, he responded: “For me? No.”

Postecoglou was then asked how ‘confident’ he was that Spurs will be able to get some new signings in this month.

“As confident as you can be,” he said. “It is tricky as all clubs are finding. And I guess traditionally it ramps up in that final week so we’re approaching there for all clubs. It’s even trickier in January because once you try to acquire a player, the club wants to replace that player. So there’s all sorts of logistics involved.”

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on the Barcelona attacker Ansu Fati.

According to a report from the Spanish publication SPORT, Tottenham and West Ham are keen on signing the player during the second half of the season. The player was linked with a move to Tottenham a year ago as well.

The player is unwanted at Barcelona and Hansi Flick has not prepared to give him opportunities. He has a contract with the club until 2027 and Barcelona will be looking to get rid of him permanently. However, they are aware that a loan move is more likely this month.

Tottenham want to add more quality and depth to their side after the North London Derby defeat and Fati is an option for them. The 22-year-old Spanish international has played in the Premier League with Brighton during his loan with the Seagulls and the opportunity to join Tottenham could be an attractive one for him. They have an ambitious project and a talented squad. If he manages to impress on loan with them, they might decide to sign in permanently at the end of the season.

He would be an inexpensive addition for Tottenham this month and it could be an interesting one. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can beat West Ham to his signature. The Hammers are looking to add more depth to their attacking unit as well. Summer signing Niclas Fullkrug has struggled with injury problems and West Ham have looked toothless in the attack.

Meanwhile, the 22-year-old Barcelona attacker was regarded as one of the finest young prospects in the game a few years ago, and he was expected to fill the void left by club legend Lionel Messi. He was even handed the number ten shirt at Barcelona when he burst onto the first-team scene. Since then, his development has stalled, and he has had a major injury as well.

A few years ago Lionel Messi labelled him as a “great player” as well.

He will be desperate to get his career back on track with a move away from the Spanish club, and it remains to be seen where he ends up.

Journalist Ben Jacobs believes Tottenham Hotspur could look to make a move for the Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres at the end of the season.

The 26-year-old Swedish International has been exceptional since he moved to the Portuguese club and he has been prolific in front of goal. The striker has 32 goals and six assists already this season and he is certainly one of the best players in European football right now.

Jacobs revealed to GMS that Tottenham could enter the conversation for him during the summer transfer window.

“If they wait I would keep an eye on Liam Delap for Chelsea and Spurs. I also think Tottenham could enter the conversation for [Viktor] Gyokeres and [Jonathan] David is a really interesting one for Tottenham.”

They have signed Dominic Solanke for a substantial amount of money, but they need more depth in the attack.

The Swedish Internation could improve them immensely and transform them in the attack. He is a prolific goalscorer and he will help create goal-scoring opportunities as well. The player is at the peak of his powers and he could make an instant He knows English football well from his time at Coventry City and he could settle in quickly and make an instant impact at the North London club if he joins them.

Meanwhile, Tottenham could be looking at players like Jonathan David and Liam Delap as well. It will be interesting to see who they end up signing eventually. They will need quality players like Gyokeres if they want to win major trophies in the coming seasons.

Gyokeres’ former teammate Jake Bidwell labelled him as a player who can be unstoppable.

“With the way he plays as well, with his aggression, the two (qualities) go hand in hand with how well he has done. He all of a sudden realised how quick and strong he was and had the confidence to use it and mixed with the aggression, it’s made him pretty unstoppable,” he said to MEN.

The Swedish International is likely to be an expensive acquisition and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham are prepared to break the bank for him. They paid a club record fee for Solanke and they might need to top that to get a deal done for the Sporting CP star.

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with multiple attackers recently, and journalist Ben Jacobs believes they could consider a move for Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap.

The 21-year-old has done quite well for the Premier League outfit this season, even though they have struggled as a team. His performances have caught the attention of the top clubs, and it will be interesting to see if Spurs decide to make a move for him in the coming months. Jacobs has revealed to Give Me Sport that Chelsea and Tottenham could look to make a move for him in the near future.

“If they wait I would keep an eye on Liam Delap for Chelsea and Spurs. I also think Tottenham could enter the conversation for [Viktor] Gyokeres.”

Delap has the quality to develop into a quality Premier League forward, and he could be a long-term asset for Tottenham.

Spurs have invested a substantial amount of money on Dominic Solanke earlier this season, and the England International has done reasonably well for them. However, he needs more support in the attack and Delap could share the goalscoring burden with him. The opportunity to move to Tottenham could be an exciting one for the player. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham step up their pursuit with an official offer for the player in the coming months.

It is fair to assume that any move will have to wait until the summer window. It will not jeopardise their chances of securing safety from relegation by selling one of their best players in January.

Meanwhile, Chelsea need more attacking depth as well, and the 21-year-old could compete with Nicolas Jackson for the starting spot. The Blues will be hoping to compete for major trophies, and they need a deeper squad with more quality.

Tottenham’s search for attacking reinforcements continues as the club has turned its attention to Lille’s prolific forward, Jonathan David.

This comes after Spurs failed to secure the signing of PSG star Randal Kolo Muani, who is on the verge of joining Serie A giants Juventus.

Spurs have been forced to turn attention elsewhere with reports suggesting they have made an enquiry to sign Manchester United attacker Alejandro Garnacho, who has been linked with a move away after failing to impress Ruben Amorim with his attitude.

Tottenham’s interest in David is not new. They have been linked with him for the past couple of windows. And it was reported a couple of months ago that Fabio Paratici is going to lead operations to sign him for free in the summer of 2025.

Ben Jacobs reported last week that the club plans to sign an extra attacker with Jonathan David emerging as a viable option. With his current deal at Lille set to expire this summer, the Canada international is reportedly being offered to Spurs by his representatives.

David has been in scintillating form over the past two seasons. Last campaign, he delivered an exceptional performance, scoring 26 goals and providing nine assists in 47 appearances for Lille. This season, he has continued to shine, registering 17 goals and six assists in 29 matches across all competitions, taking his overall tally for the club to 101 goals and 24 assists.

Dr Rajpal Brar: Jonathan David will have no problems clearing the medical

Amid the growing speculation, injury expert Dr. Rajpal Brar has provided reassurance regarding David’s fitness. Speaking about the potential transfer, he noted the forward’s excellent fitness record and claimed that the player will face no problem in clearing his medical at the club:

Speaking to Tottenham News, he said:

“He’s had a pretty ideal record in terms of his fitness.”

“Last season too, there weren’t any issues and he even played every league game for LOSC Lille. Wouldn’t expect clearing his medical to be an issue with him also being relatively young at 25.“

Tottenham have suffered a setback in their January transfer plans as PSG star Randal Kolo Muani is set to join Serie A giants Juventus.

The French forward, who was a top target for Spurs, has reportedly chosen a move to Italy, leaving the North London club scrambling for alternatives.

Tottenham had shown strong interest in signing Kolo Muani, with chairman Daniel Levy personally flying to France in an attempt to secure the deal. Reports suggest Spurs even made a loan bid with an option to buy at the end of the season, but Juventus ended up winning the race to land the 26-year-old.

In the wake of missing out on Kolo Muani, Tottenham have reportedly turned their attention to Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho.

Tottenham to test Man United with £60m move for Alejandro Garnacho

According to Football Transfers, Spurs have ‘lodged a concrete enquiry’ for the 20-year-old Argentine and are prepared to test United’s resolve with a bid in the region of £60 million.

Garnacho, a highly-rated winger, has attracted interest not only from Spurs but also from Serie A side Napoli. The Italian club are eyeing Garnacho as a replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is set to join PSG.

Garnacho joined Manchester United from Atletico Madrid’s youth system for just €465,000 and has since grown into a key player for the Red Devils. This season, he has scored eight goals and provided five assists in 30 appearances across all competitions, bringing his overall tally to 23 goals and 14 assists in 116 games since breaking into the first-team.

Despite his contributions on the pitch, Garnacho’s relationship with manager Ruben Amorim has reportedly been strained. Amorim has been unimpressed with the youngster’s attitude, even dropping him for a game earlier last month.

With Manchester United’s owners, INEOS, keen to balance the books, a £60 million offer for Garnacho could be tempting. Such a deal would provide the funds needed to reinforce other areas of the squad.

Spurs face competition from Napoli

While Tottenham are keen to bring Garnacho to North London, they face stiff competition from Napoli. The Serie A side, fresh off agreeing to sell Kvaratskhelia, are reportedly pushing hard to secure Garnacho’s signature.

Garnacho’s versatility as a winger who can operate on both flanks or as a forward aligns with the type of player Ange Postecoglou is seeking to strengthen his squad.

However, whether Spurs can beat Napoli and convince the player to choose the Premier League over Serie A remains uncertain.
