Tottenham Hotspur are interested in recruiting the services of Aston Villa attacker Morgan Rogers this summer, according to the Daily Mail.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club want to reinforce in the final third after the departure of Son Heung-Min, and they are looking to lure the England international away from the Villa Park club.

Rogers is a wanted man in the Premier League after impressing for the Villans last term.

A move to join Spurs could be appealing as they are playing in the Champions League this season.

The Midlands club were fined £9.5 million last month for breaching UEFA’s financial rules.

While they could be forced to sell key players this summer as they need to remain compliant with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules, they do not want to sell the 23-year-old.

It is unknown whether Spurs will firm up their interest in Rogers with a bid as manager Thomas Franks is desperate for attackers.

He has lost James Maddison to a long-term injury and also missed out on Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White.

Villa have always insisted the England international is not for sale and want to offer him a new contract that reflects his status as a key player at the club.

Morgan bagged 14 goals and 16 assists in 54 games across all competitions last season after ending 2023-24 with ten goals and ten assists in 49 games.

Rogers has five years left on his current contract after signing a six-year extension last November, but discussions over fresh terms and an extension are in preliminary stages.

Spurs may need to look elsewhere as Villa will not be keen on losing another key player as Jacob Ramsey closes in on a move to Newcastle United.

The Midlands club will look to win the Europa League this term given the track record of manager Unai Emery in the competition, and they need to retain key players to have a chance.

Tottenham Hotspur winger Manor Solomon wishes to return to Leeds United this summer after his loan spell at the Elland Road club last term, according to the Evening Standard.

The Israeli international is back at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club after making 41 appearances for Leeds last term, where he weighed in with ten goals and 13 assists.

Solomon is not part of new Spurs manager Thomas Frank’s plans, and the North London club would be willing to sell the 26-year-old this summer if a suitable offer arrives.

However, Leeds appear to be looking elsewhere despite his willingness to return to the West Yorkshire club.

Whites manager Daniel Farke is eyeing a deal for AC Milan attacker Noah Okafor, and sealing a deal for the Switzerland international could hamper Solomon’s chances of re-joining Leeds.

However, his return cannot be completely ruled out as Spurs are open to allowing him to leave on loan again if a permanent exit does not work out.

The left winger has Premier League experience after making 19 appearances for Fulham while on loan from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2022-23.

He bagged four goals at the time and will fancy his chances of impressing in the English top-flight this term.

Solomon already knows how Farke plays and it makes sense if a reunion happens this summer.

Leeds want to stay up and establish themselves as a mainstay in the division going forward after spending just three seasons before relegating the last time they got promoted.

They wanted Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz but he prefers to move to Atalanta and they are now closing in on a move for former Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

The Whites have also bolstered their attack with the signing of former VfL Wolfsburg attacker Lukas Nmecha, and they need one or two more quality players in the position to boost their survival chances.

Tottenham Hotspur have held talks with Manchester City over a summer transfer deal to sign Brazilian attacking midfielder Savinho, according to The Athletic journalist David Ornstein.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club are looking to complete a €50 million deal. While the Etihad Stadium club are not actively looking to sell him, he is open to the move.

Their manager Pep Guardiola tends not to stand in the way of players who want to leave, which hands Spurs an advantage as Thomas Frank looks to bolster his attack following Heung-min Son’s exit.

Both clubs have yet to reach an agreement, but a deal could be on the cards with talks continuing.

Tottenham will be without Dejan Kulusevski for the opening weeks of 2025-26, while James Maddison could miss the whole campaign after undergoing surgery following an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Spurs have to strengthen their options in the final third, and Savinho fits the bill after his promising debut Premier League campaign.

He moved to Man City from Girona last summer, ending the 2024-25 campaign with three goals and 13 assists in 48 appearances across all competitions.

The left-footed right winger notched 11 goals and ten assists in his last season in Spain and will fancy his chances of further impressing at Tottenham.

Spurs need quality attackers if they want to progress in the Champions League next season and secure a top-five finish in the Premier League. Savinho could help them achieve their aims.

They have added Mohammed Kudus and Joao Palhinha to their squad this summer, but need to do more following key departures and injuries.

Tottenham begin the new season with the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain in Italy on Wednesday.

A victory for the Europa League reigning champions will be a significant boost for the upcoming campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a boost ahead of their UEFA Super Cup game against Paris Saint-Germain in Italy on Wednesday as the French club will be without Joao Neves.

The Portuguese midfielder is suspended for the game against the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club following his red card in the Club World Cup final against Chelsea last month, according to French outlet RMC Sport.

It is good news for Spurs as PSG manager Luis Enrique has a selection headache to battle with given the influence of the Neves in the middle of the park for his team.

New Tottenham manager Thomas Frank will be eager to win his first competitive game in charge, and having his opponents unable to call upon one of their best players is a boost.

Spurs have played six games in pre-season this summer but have won just twice and will need to be at the top of their game individually and collectively if they want to win on Wednesday.

They lost 4-0 to Bayern Munich last Thursday following a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United last Sunday, and Frank will need his men to turn up against PSG.

Tottenham will be back in action after the Super Cup game on Saturday when they host newly-promoted Burnley in their first Premier League game of 2025-26.

A trip to Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City the next weekend comes afterwards.

The North London club were disappointing in the domestic competitions last term, finishing 17th in the league table after losing 22 games.

The woeful performance cost Ange Postecoglou his job despite helping them to the Europa League trophy, and Frank has to do better across all competitions this term.

Getting the better of PSG on Wednesday will be a perfect way for the North London club to start 2025-26, but they are not favourites to win the game given the quality of the Ligue 1 champions.

Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha is already in London to complete his move to join Tottenham Hotspur, according to Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.

The Portuguese international has signed his deal and is eager to feature for the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club when they take on his soon-to-be former club Bayern on Thursday.

Spurs have an option to sign Palhinha for an initial €25 million next summer, with around €5m to be included in add-ons.

Tottenham are parting with a loan fee of €5m for the 30-year-old and will also be covering his whole wages.

Spurs head coach Thomas Frank is confident that the former Fulham star is the perfect number 6 for his midfield, but he could be forced to sign another creative midfielder after James Maddison got stretchered off against Newcastle United today.

The England international was seen on crutches after the game and could be out for some weeks from the look of things.

Dejan Kulusevski has yet to return to full fitness and will not be starting the new campaign with the North London club, and recruiting another option in the position could be very necessary.

Spurs already missed out on Nottingham Forest attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White after he decided to sign a contract extension despite coming close to joining them, and the injury to Maddison could force them into unplanned action.

Tottenham have already added Kota Takai, Luka Vuskovic, Mohammed Kudus and Kevin Danso to their squad so far this summer, but more signings are expected as they are also losing captain Son Heung-min, who played his last game for the club today.

They need quality squad depth as they prepare to challenge in the Champions League and in the three other domestic competitions, and Frank could do with two or three more top signings before the transfer window shuts.

Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo Goes has no interest in joining Tottenham Hotspur (h/t Foot Mercato).

Spurs were reportedly in talks for the player, but he will only consider joining a bigger club.

Rodryg, who legendary manager Carlo Ancelotti hailed as a ‘special striker’, wants to stay at Madrid.

Even though head coach Xabi Alonso barely uses him, he has refused to give up on his dreams of staying.

If he leaves Madrid, he wants to join a club which regularly challenges for major silverware. Tottenham have several other options they could consider.

The left wing is one of the few positions where there is an abundance of talent waiting to be signed, including Alejandro Garnacho, Rafael Leao and Harvey Barnes.

Garnacho is the deal target for Tottemham

Garnacho delivered 11 goals and 10 assists last season despite not being fully trusted by his manager.

He is raw, but his explosive pace, direct running and willingness to take risks are tailor-made for Tottenham boss Thomas Frank’s attacking system.

What Garnacho needs is a manager who will let him make mistakes and grow, something Frank has previously done with young talents.

Under the right guidance at Spurs, his decision-making and end product will improve drastically.

Spurs may not sign Rodrygo, but Garnacho is a hungry, high-ceiling alternative who is actually available this summer.

Rangers have emerged as favourites ahead of other suitors to sign Tottenham Hotspur winger Mikey Moore on loan, according to the Telegraph journalist Matt Law.

Rangers still want to bolster their attack and have been linked with Crystal Palace attacker Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, but he picked up an injury on Friday night and the Ibrox club are now looking elsewhere.

Spurs want Moore to go and get regular playing opportunities elsewhere given the options available to head coach Thomas Frank, and the Ibrox club are ready to sign him.

Rangers manager Russell Martin is preparing to impress and hit the ground running in his debut campaign at the Scottish Premiership club, and signing the Tottenham academy graduate will come in handy.

The 17-year-old has played 21 times at senior level for the North London club, making 19 appearances across all competitions last term.

The England youth international left winger weighed in with a goal and two assists, and he could be a perfect addition to the Gers attack given his huge potential and quality.

Moore can also feature on the right, and Martin will be keen to have such a player within his ranks after his impressive cameos in the Premier League.

A deal for Rak-Sakyi to join Rangers was progressing before the injury threw a spanner in the works, and they are now looking to do business with Spurs for their teenage sensation.

They have signed Thelo Aasgaard, Oscar Cortes, Nasser Djiga, Emmanuel Fernandez, Max Aarons, Djeidi Gassama, Lyall Cameron and Joe Rothwell so far this summer as Martin continues his squad overhaul, and Moore could be next.

Rangers secured a 2-0 win over Panathinaikos in the first-leg of the second qualifying round of the Champions League last week and will be looking to book a place in the next round during the return leg on Wednesday.

Tottenham Hotspur are now considering a £15 million offer from Los Angeles FC for attacker Heung-min Son, according to the Sun.

The club are open to selling their captain if he wants to leave, but a sale will not happen until after the conclusion of their pre-season tour.

Spurs are set to play against Arsenal and Newcastle United in Asia, and Son is one of the key players in the tour contract due to his massive popularity on the continent.

Tottenham would forfeit up to three-quarters of the fee they would receive for playing if they were to sell the South Korean international before facing Newcastle.

They would be docked half their fee if he travelled with the squad but did not play.

The 33-year-old played 46 times for Tottenham across all competitions last season, bagging 11 goals and 12 assists as they won the Europa League.

Son has played 454 games for Spurs since joining them from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, notching 173 goals and 101 assists.

However, he could be playing second fiddle to Mohammed Kudus next season as new manager Thomas Frank makes much-needed changes to his squad.

Nottingham Forest attacker Morgan Gibbs-White is also on their radar. If Tottenham sign him, Son would drop even further down the pecking order.

Spurs are preparing for life without Son as they will not be extending his contract. Making some money from a sale will come in handy as opposed to losing him for nothing next summer.

Newcastle United are confident they will sign Yoane Wissa despite Brentford rejecting a £25 million bid (h/t journalist Craig Hope).

Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur are battling to sign Wissa, but Brentford are reluctant to sell after losing Bryan Mbeumo, Christian Norgaard and Mark Flekken.

They also lost manager Thomas Frank, who joined Tottenham this summer.

Wissa left Brentford’s training camp yesterday as the transfer speculation increased. Newcastle face a fight to complete a deal before Tottenham step up their interest.

The Magpies have failed to close deals for Matheus Cunha, Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Mohammed Kudus, Hugo Ekitike, Dean Huijsen and Mbeumo during the transfer window.

They have landed on Wissa, who is versatile enough to lead the line, play on the flanks or as a second striker.

Spurs can match the Newcastle fee, and his previous working relationship with now Tottenham manager Frank might help sway him towards a move to London.

Frank is a big fan of Wissa and hailed him as an ‘unbelievable signing’ after he clinched 30 Premier League goals for the Bees.

Next on the agenda for Newcastle must be signing at least one new central defender to bolster the ranks.

Dan Burn and Fabian Schar are entering the twilight of their careers, and they need fresh blood.

A goalkeeper is also on the transfer wishlist. Newcastle looked close to agreeing a deal for Burnley’s James Trafford before Manchester City were linked with him.

Newcastle must do everything to fend them off and snap up the England Under-21 international shot-stopper.

Tottenham Hotspur are among three Premier League clubs closely monitoring Brentford striker Yoane Wissa.

BBC Sport reports that the 28-year-old Tottenham target has returned to London, where he will talk with Brentford director of football Phil Giles to discuss his future.

He departed the club’s pre-season camp in Portugal amid mounting transfer speculation.

The Bees had been preparing for the new season, but there is so much uncertainty around the future of the DR Congo international (27 caps).

Spurs, Newcastle United, and Nottingham Forest are leading contenders for his signature.

All three clubs can offer European football this coming campaign – an attractive prospect for Wissa, who hit 19 Premier League goals last term and remains one of Brentford’s most direct attacking threats.

Sources suggest Tottenham and Newcastle have intensified efforts over the past 48 hours, with personal terms unlikely to be a stumbling block in either case.

Tottenham see Wissa as a versatile option in the Thomas Frank set-up. He can play wide or centrally in his system.

Spurs have not submitted a formal offer, but Wissa is believed to be unsettled by the ongoing speculation.

He is open to a move, especially with a step up to European competition on the table.

Tottenham signed Dominic Solanke for £65 million from Bournemouth.

Although his return of 16 goals in all competitions (nine in the Premier League) was uninspiring, he still deserves a shot to prove his worth.

It does not bode well for the Spurs striker that Frank is already recruiting his Brentford general.

Besides, signing a striker turning 29 this year for north of £40 million does not scream elite business.

The North Londoners should be eyeing a younger, cheaper, and equally lethal alternative.

Wissa is a Premier League-proven force, but Brentford will put up a fight to keep their prized asset. It might not be worth it for Tottenham.
