Mikey Moore is no doubt one of Tottenham’s best upcoming talents.

The 17-year-old progressed through Spurs’ academy and made multiple first-team appearances last season.

Moore has recently been linked with a loan move to West Brom after Ryan Mason became the Baggies manager.

Nevertheless, Tottenham are looking to extend Moore’s contract as well as many other starlets in the academy.

Moore reacts to Dante Cassanova’s new Tottenham contract

Tottenham have made a bad habit of letting many of their talented youth players go without them fulfilling their potential.

Max Robson is set to leave Spurs at the end of June, with multiple other upcoming stars also set to depart.

However, Tottenham have now secured the future of Dante Cassanova who has signed a new contract with the London club.

The 20-year-old is seen as a bright, upcoming talent and was named in the matchday squad in October when Spurs played Ferencvaros in the Europa League.

The defender captained the Under-21s side on several occasions last season, and his new contract will run until 2027.

Cassanova quickly announced his delight about his contract extension on Instagram (20 June) as he posted a photo of the signing with the caption: “The work continues”.

Moore was quick to respond to the post, commenting: “My boy” with a red heart.

Spurs need to do more to secure their upcoming talents

Now that Cassanova’s contract is sorted, Tottenham need to offer further deals to their upcoming stars.

Spurs’ academy is the future of the London club, and Tottenham have produced multiple fantastic talents over the years.

This was largely ignored by Ange Postecoglou, with the Australian rarely dipping into the youth.

This needs to change under Thomas Frank if Spurs are to become a stable, top Premier League side.

Hopefully, Cassanova’s new deal is a sign that Tottenham’s youth will be taken more seriously this season.

Mikey Moore’s potential has attracted attention ahead of a crucial summer at Tottenham.

Given the time of the year and the need for Spurs to improve on last season’s failures, recruitment is the main talking point in North London.

With the permanent arrival of Mathys Tel, Spurs have already started their summer business, though several more incomings will be expected.

However, to make way for some of those new arrivals, and to stay clear of any PSR concerns, a handful of players may leave Tottenham, with Moore one of those mooted for an exit.

Juventus want to sign Moore from Spurs

Before any decisions are made on the future of Moore, Thomas Frank will almost certainly want to take a proper look at the teenager and decide whether he is in his plans.

If not, Juventus are prepared to swoop for the Englishman, and Paul Robinson thinks he would demand a significant fee.

Speaking to Tottenham News, he said: “It’s got to be north of £50million for his exit, I think, because of the potential that the young lad’s got.

“For Tottenham now it’s the same as every other club, it’s the FFP and PSR, and that would represent 100 per cent profit and give them an opportunity to go into the transfer market and get a ready-made Champions League player.

“If you are to sell him, the buyback clause has to go in there, there has to be a first refusal or a price already agreed for a buyback clause.”

Tottenham need to loan Moore

Selling one of the highest-rated youngsters in the country before he’s even had a chance to showcase his worth would be nonsensical for Spurs, but an exit shouldn’t be entirely ruled out.

Moore needs to be playing regularly, and a loan move would allow him to do that.

However, for now, Frank needs to decide if Tottenham will be able to offer him that next season.

Ange Postecoglou could make a sensational return to English football sooner than expected.

The Australian was sacked by Daniel Levy despite winning the Europa League to end Spurs’ 17-year trophy drought.

That was not enough to save his job after a dismal Premier League campaign that saw his side lose 22 times and Tottenham now have Thomas Frank in charge.

However, the ex-Celtic boss could meet his former team when he returns to management, as a comeback to the English top flight has been predicted.

Postecoglou tipped for Premier League return

Postecoglou has been linked with Leeds and Brentford since he departed from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Iconic commentator and Premier League expert Ian Darke believes that we will see the Australian return to the top flight one day, and it could be as early as November.

Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, he said: “I can see him getting offers from all around Europe.

“I think there will be a lot of clubs who would look at him and say, you know, he did a fantastic job at Celtic, he has gone to Tottenham, had injury problems and he is a Europa League winner.

“He will not be short of offers, I don’t think, but if he wants to, like all the managers who are sacked in the summer, he can sit around until November in the full knowledge that there are going to be two or three who want to change managers because they start panicking because they are in trouble.

“You are going to see him linked left, right and centre with jobs, he strikes me as the type that wants to be working, he is not the kind of guy who would enjoy a year’s sabbatical like Pep had in New York, I think he will want to get back out there and behind the wheel.

“He would love another crack at it, to give two fingers to the media and the all of the fans who don’t think he can cut it.”

Levy could come to regret Postecoglou sacking

Many observers felt like the decision to part ways with the former Australia defender was harsh after he won the N17 club’s first trophy since 2008.

Levy could come to regret his decision if Frank struggles in his first few months, and especially if Postecoglou returns to England and thrives in a new role.

It remains to seen whether the 59-year-old decides to return to management as quickly as that, but the Tottenham hierarchy may be hoping that he does not.

Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo is a transfer target for Tottenham as Daniel Levy aims to give Thomas Frank all the firepower he needs.

Semenyo, 25, had 11 goals and six assists in 37 games for the Cherries when they ended up ninth last season, their best finish in the Premier League.

Andoni Iraola’s side lost Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid for a record fee, and Milos Kerkez is set to join Liverpool.

Semenyo’s future is still uncertain, with Arsenal and Man United also interested in signing the winger.

Spurs will not pursue a deal for Semenyo

Tottenham would no doubt love to have Semenyo playing under Frank next season, but he will not come cheap.

MORE SPURS STORIES

According to The Athletic (June 20), Tottenham have made their interest known in the attacker, but are currently not pursuing the deal further due to Bournemouth’s £70m valuation.

Bournemouth signed Semenyo for £10.5m from Bristol City in 2023, signing a contract to keep him there until summer 2029.

Levy’s attitude to the deal sums up an unremarkable summer window, as Spurs have only completed the signing of Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso.

Tel, 20, joined permanently following his loan spell from Bayern Munich for £30m.

Austrian centre-half Danso signed from RC Lens for £21m, which isn’t bad business given Micky van de Ven’s injury record.

The Lilywhites are keen on Crystal Palace and England star Eberechi Eze to provide versatility in attack.

Eze, who scored the winning goal in the FA Cup final, has a release clause set at £68m.

With a Son Heung-min exit on the horizon, Levy needs to act quickly and capitalise on the market opportunities.

Levy needs Mbeumo to please Spurs fans

Thomas Frank wants a reunion with his former player, Bryan Mbeumo, and his side will battle Man United for him

The 25-year-old netted 20 goals for Brentford in the Premier League last year and will cost Tottenham £60m.

Levy needs to prove that he has an ambition for success at this club, and getting Mbeumo would achieve this.

The Cameroonian winger will solve Spurs’ problems in front of goal as their top scorer, Brennan Johnson, scored just 11.

The Europa League victory masked the flaws in the North London team and kept fans happy for a while.

Spurs need huge signings to prove they can rebound after narrowly escaping relegation in 2024/2025.

It is all well and good Tottenham showing interest in these players. Levy simply needs to put his money where his mouth is, or else he faces ridicule if Spurs miss out on all of these targets.

Thomas Frank will hope to begin a new era at Tottenham after their Premier League struggles under Ange Postecoglou.

Spurs sacked the ex-Celtic boss despite winning the Europa League as they finished 17th in the English top flight.

Daniel Levy must now build a competitive team for Frank at the North London outfit, and that will undoubtedly require some outgoings this summer.

Alejo Veliz wants Rosario Central transfer as Tottenham look for options

Alejo Veliz, who spent last season at Espanyol, “will do everything in his power” to return to Rosario Central this summer, a member of the Argentine outfit’s leadership says.

Central want to sign the 21-year-old on loan with a fee, but the North London outfit haven’t shown any interest in the proposal yet.

MORE SPURS STORIES

The Torneo Betano outfit are willing to wait to get a deal over the line for the Argentine centre-forward, who is convinced a move back to the Estadio Gigante de Arroyito is the right next step for his career.

Speaking to Pagina 12 (21 June), a member of Central’s leadership said: “Veliz will do everything in his power to secure a return to Central. He’s convinced that returning to the club now is the best option for his career, and that’s crucial to our aspirations. But we’ll have to wait until July to hear any news.”

Veliz was expected to be the next big thing at Tottenham, but the youngster has failed to live up to expectations in North London, and a move away seems to be his best option.

Frank needs major attacking overhaul as Richarlison transfer also possible at Tottenham

Richarlison’s future at Spurs is uncertain this summer after struggling with fitness issues last season.

Everton have been linked with the Brazil international, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him return to the Toffees in the coming weeks.

Tottenham relied on Dominic Solanke to lead the line in the previous campaign, but the former Bournemouth centre-forward had an underwhelming debut campaign.

Frank has some major changes to make at Spurs after Postecoglou’s uncompromising style of play in N17.

The North London outfit could sanction a massive squad overhaul for the former Brentford boss, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see a new number nine walk through the door.

While Mathys Tel’s signing has been made permanent, he’s still young and has a lot to learn, giving Tottenham an incentive to sign a proven goalscorer this summer.

Son Heung-min could also be allowed to leave towards the end of the ongoing transfer window, and it will be interesting to see what Frank has in store for the South Korean ace.

Veliz may not have the opportunity to play enough minutes at Spurs, and his situation will be one to keep an eye on.

Bryan Gil looks set to call time on his Tottenham career after failing to live up to his initial promise.

The Spaniard was Spurs’ most expensive signing ahead of the 2021/22 season, but never managed to get to grips with the physicality of the Premier League.

He has become somewhat of a forgotten man in North London, spending the last two seasons on loan, first at Sevilla and then at Girona.

The 24-year-old has been given an opportunity by multiple managers at Tottenham, but does not look like he will be afforded another chance following a recent transfer update.

Gil headed for the exit door at Spurs

As reported by Football London (16 June), Gil fully expects to leave Tottenham this summer, with the club equally keen to part ways with the diminutive winger.

MORE SPURS STORIES

The North London side have struggled to permanently offload the former Valencia man, who has only managed four starts and 24 appearances in the Premier League for the Lilywhites.

However, they look set to cash in this summer after the Spaniard showed good form before succumbing to a season-ending injury in March.

And ex-Spurs scout Bryan King – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes that Tottenham could be set to secure as much as £15million for Gil.

“Gil has been playing in Spain for the last couple of seasons,” King said.

“Also, he’s still only 24 years old. He’s been playing in a high-level league, he’s also done fairly well in Spain, and it appears as though he has no future at Tottenham.

“They’ll want at least £12m for his signature, but that fee could even rise to as much as £15m. However, it certainly doesn’t look as though he has any future at Tottenham. In all fairness, it hasn’t looked like he’s had any future at Tottenham for the past two years.”

Gil mistake has been learned by Tottenham

Paratici’s time at Tottenham is synonymous with some excellent transfers, including the likes of Cristian Romero and Dejan Kulusevski.

However, there have been some blunders, and Gil is arguably top of that unfortunate list.

His technical and dribbling qualities caught the eye, but Paratici and the scouting department failed to foresee how much his lack of athleticism would thwart his progress in North London.

Tottenham have learned from their mistakes and are now targeting players like Antoine Semenyo and Bryan Mbeumo, whose physical profiles are already proven to be able to handle the English top flight.

Tottenham need to be wary about pursuing a deal for Brentford’s Yoane Wissa this summer.

With a Champions League campaign ahead, Tottenham will be fully aware of the importance held in the summer transfer window.

If Spurs are to compete domestically, several incomings will be needed in North London, and the hire of Thomas Frank may aid their attempts to achieve that.

Amid links to Bryan Mbuemo, it seems as though Frank is keen on reuniting with some of his former players, and he may not be the only one.

Tottenham could sign Wissa from Brentford

Tottenham have already been linked with several new players this summer, though as it stands, they have yet to open their chequebook to seal any brand-new arrivals, with Mathys Tel the only incoming following his loan spell last season.

MORE SPURS STORIES

However, the expectation is that that will change soon, and Brentford’s Wissa has been linked with a move to North London.

After such an impressive Premier League campaign, Wissa would likely be a good fit for Spurs, but his form will almost guarantee him a call-up to the DR Congo national team when they travel to AFCON in December.

Should that be the case, his arrival at Spurs would be followed by a near-immediate exit, and Tottenham will need to be aware of that if they opt to look further into a deal.

AFCON could disrupt Spurs plans

Even forgetting about Wissa, Spurs could lose several players to AFCON when it gets underway over Christmas, and they need to ensure they have the depth to cope with that if it is to be the case.

A lack of depth was the main reason behind their failures domestically last season, and they will not want to see a repeat of that under Frank next time out.

With pre-season edging ever closer and the Premier League campaign less than two months away, Tottenham are in desperate need of new additions

Tottenham fans will be spending the summer trying to forget their dreadful 2024-25 Premier League campaign.

The Lilywhites ended the season by lifting the Europa League trophy, but that doesn’t erase the fact that they finished 17th in the league.

It’s up to new manager Thomas Frank to drastically improve Spurs’ league form once the new season begins in August.

Spurs fans excited by new kit reveal

The release of new home and away kits is a great way to help fans move on from a disappointing season.

Nowadays, every Premier League club revamps their entire selection of kits every summer. It can cost supporters a small fortune to stay up to date when wearing their club colours.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Nevertheless, the official reveal of a new jersey remains one of the highlights of the summer.

There have been no official releases from Spurs yet.

However, that hasn’t stopped fans from losing their minds over leaked images of a new black away shirt.

The images are doing the rounds on social media and have attracted plenty of compliments from the Tottenham faithful.

“A thing of beauty,” one fan posted, while another added that it was Spurs’ “best in years”.

However, some fans weren’t so impressed with the shirt. Some pointed out the subtle grid effect as being unnecessary or similar to a spreadsheet.

Spurs have all the infrastructure to be one of the world’s biggest clubs

It’s important to reiterate that leaked images of football shirts often turn out to be fake.

Tottenham fans won’t know for sure if they’ll see their Europa League heroes in this black shirt until the official reveal of their 2025-26 jerseys.

With that said, several commenters mentioned that they had managed to get hold of this shirt already.

Tottenham have all the infrastructure in place to be deemed one of the biggest clubs in the world. They’ve got the brand new stadium, the luxury training ground and multi-million pound kit deals with Nike.

In a recent interview, Daniel Levy said it was no point having any of this if it doesn’t translate to improved results on the pitch.

Indeed, this is what fans want more than anything. This is the metric used to judge the size of a club. It’s time for Spurs to ascend.

Thomas Frank is now the man in charge of making that happen. Spurs fans will be hoping that Levy gives him the funds necessary to achieve that goal.

Former Tottenham defender Japhet Tanganga could be on the move this summer.

With the Premier League fixtures now released, the only thing standing between Tottenham and pre-season is the summer transfer window.

Now that Thomas Frank is in post, Spurs can focus all of their attention on bringing players to North London ahead of their Champions League campaign next season.

Bolstering their starting 11 will be the number one priority, though Spurs will need to add more depth to their squad to be able to compete, with an interesting update on their pursuit of a former defender.

Tottenham unlikely to pursue Tanganga deal this summer

Dennis Cirkin is the latest to have been linked with a move to Tottenham, having left the club in 2021 to join Sunderland.

MORE SPURS STORIES

A deal for the full back is unlikely to cost much, though it would aid their home-grown quota and provide sufficient depth, a similar story to what Tanganga could do.

His exit from Millwall seems inevitable after it was claimed he has a release clause of £1.2million, but Paul Robinson cannot see Spurs pursuing a deal for the latter, unless they are forced into business late in the window.

Speaking to Tottenham News, he said: “It is a deal that makes sense, but I don’t think they’ll revisit old ground that quickly.

“There’s a reason that they let him go. I think he’s done excellently well at Millwall, and I, for one, was surprised when they let him go. And for the fee that they let him go at, I think he was a top quality young player and fair play to him for wanting to go out and play regularly and play every week.

“But I think from Tottenham’s point of view, I think that ship’s sailed. I think they’ve moved on. They’re going to be looking at top-level players, as in Champions League players, now for next season.

“He would still be a good addition to the squad if he were in the squad, but unless recruitment towards the end of the window hasn’t been what they would have expected, I really can’t see that happening.“

Frank needs access to more depth at Tottenham

There are a number of reasons you can pinpoint for the failures that Spurs demonstrated last season domestically, though they all come back to the squad depth argument.

To put it straight, it was non-existent, and if Frank is to succeed as Tottenham boss, that needs to change this summer.

Daniel Levy’s decision when Dennis Cirkin departed for Sunderland could come back to reward Tottenham this summer.

Tottenham are yet to start their summer transfer business, though with a Champions League campaign to attend to next season, it will be crucial that Thomas Frank is backed in the market.

After such a poor domestic campaign under Ange Postecoglou, the addition of fresh quality will play a deciding role in the success that they can find under Frank, with added depth also needed in North London.

With that in mind, Tottenham have been linked with a move to sign Cirkin, and Levy seems to have played a blinder with his initial sale.

Tottenham included clause in Cirkin exit

Cirkin was always highly rated at Tottenham, though a lack of first-team exposure ultimately led to his exit back in 2021.

MORE SPURS STORIES

A move to Wearside would come to fruition for the defender, where he has since thrived and played a crucial role in their promotion back to the Premier League.

However, according to Football London, Levy included a sell-on clause in the deal that saw him move to Sunderland, and with Spurs now keen to bring him home, they would get him at a discounted price.

They also had a buy-back clause in his contract, though that is believed to have now expired, meaning the initial fee may prove to be slightly higher than hoped if a deal is pursued.

Tottenham need an injection of quality in starting XI

Depth is going to be vital next season, though the main focus for now has to be on improving the starting 11 that Frank will have access to.

After finishing 17th in the Premier League, it is evident that the margin for improvement is massive, and that will only be bridged with the signings of top-quality players.

As for the likes of Cirkin, their additions would make sense from a depth perspective, depending on the nature of any deal.
