Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank wants to reunite with Brentford forward Yoane Wissa if Richarlison is offered to Crystal Palace for Eberechi Eze, according to the Daily Mail.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club are open to giving the Brazilian plus cash in exchange for the Eagles star, and they want Wissa in his place.

However, the Bees star has his heart set on joining Newcastle United and has been pushing for a move to St James’ Park for over three weeks.

Brentford are delaying the move because they want to sell the 28-year-old to Tottenham.

Frank brought Wissa to Brentford in 2021, but he is not keen on a reunion as he knows he can be the leading man in attack at Newcastle.

They want attacking reinforcements after Alexander Isak made it clear that he wants to leave, and manager Eddie Howe wants Wissa.

The Magpies have offered an improved bid of £35 million plus £5m in add-ons, but it has been knocked back as Brentford want £60m.

Spurs need to free up a spot in their attack to accommodate him, which is why they are open to involving Richarlison in the Eze deal.

The 28-year-old was named the Premier League Player of Matchday 1 after his brace in the 3-0 victory over Burnley on Saturday.

Signing the Palace attacker and Wissa could be a game-changer for Tottenham as they look to impress across all competitions this term.

Getting both deals done could prove tricky, and Frank will need to convince his former player that moving to Spurs is the best option for his career.

Tottenham Hotspur are open to using Richarlison as a makeweight in a deal to sign Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, according to the Daily Mail.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club want to sign the England international this summer, and the Eagles value him at £60 million.

Spurs and Palace have been in talks for Eze in recent days, but an agreement has not been reached.

Tottenham are now exploring a part-exchange involving Richarlison plus cash for Eze.

The Brazilian hit the ground running this season, grabbing a brace as Spurs strolled to a 3-0 win over Burnley at the weekend.

He has been linked with an exit all summer, and it appears his performance in the opening game of the 2025-26 Premier League campaign did not convince manager Thomas Frank.

The Englishman is an upgrade on his Brazilian counterpart, given their performances over the last three seasons, but Spurs should be looking to keep the 28-year-old.

He looked ready to put his injury woes behind him and prove himself all over again on Saturday, and letting him leave makes no sense.

Eze would be an excellent signing for Tottenham, but they need quality depth in attack as they prepare to challenge across the domestic competitions and Champions League.

They are back in action on Saturday with a trip to Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City, and Richarlison could be key to their chances of getting a result.

Palace want Eze to feature against Fredrikstad in the first leg of the Europa Conference League play-off on Thursday, and he could remain at the club for the reverse fixture next week.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Real Sociedad attacker Takefusa Kubo this summer, according to Spanish outlet Diario AS.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club want to sign another forward alongside Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze before the end of the transfer window.

Spurs have identified AS Monaco attacker Maghnes Akliouche as an alternative to Manchester City’s Savinho due to the £60 million asking price.

Kubo is also back on their radar, and he has a £52m (€60m) release clause.

‘Money isn’t an issue’ for Tottenham, but it is unclear whether a concrete move is on the cards for the Japan international.

Arsenal have also been linked with the 24-year-old this summer, but Spurs could now look to pip their local rivals in the race to sign him.

The Barcelona academy graduate has bagged 24 goals and 18 assists for Sociedad, and moving to the Premier League could appeal to him.

Kubo, once dubbed a ‘world-class player’, has the potential to become one of the best right wingers on the planet.

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank wants a replacement for Heung-Min Son.

The club needs a player capable of generating commercial success for them in Asia following the departure of their former captain, and Kubo fits the bill.

Atletico Madrid are also keen on him, but they are unwilling to activate his release clause, which could be good news for the Lilywhites.

There are 13 days left in the summer transfer window, and Tottenham need to act quickly if they want Kubo.

Tottenham Hotspur have identified AS Monaco attacker Maghnes Akliouche as a transfer target due to the asking price for Manchester City’s Savinho, according to the Independent journalist Miguel Delaney.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club want to bolster their attack, and while a deal for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze is on the cards, head coach Thomas Frank wants one more player in the position.

Spurs have held talks to sign Savinho, but Man City want £60 million for the Brazilian, and they have now moved on to Akliouche.

The 23-year-old Frenchman, with ‘exceptional dribbling skills’, ended last term with seven goals and 12 assists in 42 appearances, and he scored in the 3-1 win over Le Havre at the weekend.

Akliouche bagged eight goals and four assists in 2023-24, and Tottenham have been impressed with his performances over the last two campaigns.

The France youth international right winger also boasts a great work rate, pressing ability, and game intelligence both on and off the ball, and Spurs need such a player.

Akliouche also plays centrally, and is a threat in counter-attack situations due to his pace.

He also contributes defensively, and his finishing and passing are some of his abilities which make him a solid player with huge potential.

Moving to the Premier League could appeal to the Monaco star, and Tottenham playing in the Champions League is also a plus for the North London club in their pursuit.

He has been unable to force his way into the star-studded French senior national team, but impressing in the English top-flight and elite European competition with Spurs could boost his chances.

This 2025-26 campaign is crucial for Akliouche if he wants to play in the next World Cup, and he may need to leave the Ligue 1 club for his dream to come true.

Tottenham could be offering him that opportunity, and talks are expected to take place between both parties in the coming days.

Tottenham Hotspur target Savinho will not be moving to North London this summer, according to talkSPORT.

Spurs wanted the Manchester City winger and were in talks to sign him.

However, Tottenham will not be getting the 21-year-old because Man City boss Pep Guardiola has closed the door to a potential departure.

The Brazilian winger, who impressed in his first Premier League season with Manchester City, had been linked with a £50 million move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Missing out on Savinho is a blow for Tottenham, considering how good the ex-Girona star is.

In 29 league appearances last season, Savinho showed why he is considered one of the most exciting young wingers in Europe.

Hailed by Guardiola as a player with ‘incredible ability’, he averaged 0.5 assists per 90 minutes and created 2.3 chances per 90.

His numbers far outshine most of Tottenham’s current wide options.

His ability to take on defenders was particularly impressive, completing 2.7 take-ons per 90 – a level of directness Spurs have often lacked.

Who should Spurs turn to after missing out on Savinho

Tottenham should turn their attention to Takefusa Kubo after missing out on Savinho.

The Japanese international has been one of La Liga’s most exciting wide forwards since joining Real Sociedad in July 2022, tormenting defenders with his pace, flair, and close control.

At 24, Kubo is entering his prime and offers the kind of direct dribbling and creativity Spurs need to replace the spark Savinho could have provided.

Last season, he recorded seven goals and four assists in 52 appearances across all competitions, while already opening his account this campaign.

Kubo’s versatility and ability to break down low blocks make him an ideal target to refresh the forward line.

Tottenham Hotspur are pushing to finalise the signing of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, with chairmen Daniel Levy and Steve Parish now holding direct talks.

The England international has already agreed personal terms with Spurs, leaving only the fee between the clubs as the final obstacle.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano claims Levy and Parish are in contact today, with Tottenham ready to offer £55 million plus a further £5mn in add-ons.

Eze informed Palace last week that he wanted to make the move to north London.

The 27-year-old has emerged as a priority target for Spurs following James Maddison’s long-term injury and the departure of Heung-min Son to Los Angeles FC earlier this month.

Eze’s versatility and creativity have made him a standout option for Thomas Frank as he prepares for a Champions League campaign in his first season as Tottenham manager.

Palace remain reluctant to lose their talisman but accept that a sale is likely if a suitable replacement can be secured.

They have identified Leicester City’s Bilal El Khannouss and Club Brugge’s Christos Tzolis as possible signings if Eze departs.

Parish is pushing for a larger portion of the fee to be paid up front so the Eagles can immediately reinvest.

Eze’s release clause of £67.5m expired earlier this summer, giving Palace more leverage in negotiations.

Levy is seeking to keep the deal closer to £55m while structuring add-ons to bridge the gap.

Both chairmen have reputations as stubborn negotiators, with Levy known for extracting maximum value for Spurs and Parish for resisting bids until his valuation is met.

The situation has echoes of Palace’s previous high-profile sales, including Aaron Wan-Bissaka to Manchester United and Wilfried Zaha to Galatasaray.

Spurs are confident an agreement will be reached, with optimism that Eze could even be registered before the weekend’s clash with Manchester City.

Eze featured in Palace’s goalless draw with Chelsea on the opening weekend, but sources indicate he remains determined to leave Selhurst Park.

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that Djed Spence has signed a new long-term contract with the club.

The 25-year-old defender first joined Spurs from Middlesbrough in 2022 but had to wait until late 2024 to become a regular in the first team.

Spence made his full Premier League debut in Tottenham’s 5-0 victory over Southampton last December and quickly established himself as a reliable option.

He went on to make 35 appearances across the 2024-25 campaign, scoring his first Premier League goal in February during a 4-1 win against Ipswich Town.

His strong form earned him a nomination for the Premier League’s Player of the Month award later that month.

Spence also played an important role in Tottenham’s successful Europa League campaign, which ended with them lifting the trophy in May.

The right-back was also trusted to start in the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain last week, where he operated on the opposite flank as a left wing-back in the penalty shoot-out defeat.

He featured again on Saturday, playing the full 90 minutes of Tottenham’s 3-0 Premier League victory over Burnley.

The club announced on their official website that they were delighted to tie the full-back down to new terms, rewarding his breakthrough year in London.

It is the second time in less than 12 months that Spence has signed a contract extension, having previously inking a four-year deal in October 2024.

His latest contract comes as new manager Thomas Frank looks to shape the squad ahead of his first full season in charge.

Before establishing himself in the first team, the London-born defender spent time on loan with Rennes, Leeds United and Genoa.

Those loan spells helped him gain valuable experience after struggling to break into the Spurs side in his first two seasons at the club.

He has now become a dependable member of the squad, particularly during the second half of last season when he filled in at left-back following Destiny Udogie’s injury.

Tottenham Hotspur are set to seal a transfer for Crystal Palace attacker Eberechi Eze after offering £60 million over the weekend, according to the Sun.

However, the 27-year-old is unlikely to join the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club before Palace play Fredrikstad in the first leg of the Europa Conference League play-off on Thursday.

Eze wants to join Spurs, and the Eagles will not stand in his way, but the speed with which the deal will happen will depend on their assurance of quickly signing a replacement.

The Selhurst Park club are reportedly demanding more of the transfer fee up front, and it is unclear if the £60m bid Tottenham brought to the table is for a total package.

Eze previously had a £60m release clause, with a further £8m in add-ons, but it has now expired and Palace will determine the fee they want.

Spurs consultant Fabio Paratici was at Stamford Bridge yesterday when Chelsea hosted the Eagles in the Premier League.

Talks over Eze joining the club were held, and an agreement appears to be on the cards.

However, Tottenham may need to wait until next weekend for the move to be finalised as Palace want the Englishman to feature in the crucial Europa Conference League game.

The Lilywhites kicked off the new campaign with an outstanding 3-0 win over Burnley on Saturday. They will be looking to win again when they visit Manchester City next Saturday.

Eze will not be available for the game from the look of things, but Spurs manager Thomas Frank will not mind as long as he eventually completes the move.

Tottenham Hotspur consultant Fabio Paratici was in the crowd at Stamford Bridge today for the Premier League game between Crystal Palace and Chelsea, according to the Independent journalist Miguel Delaney.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club are looking to wrap up a deal for Palace attacker Eberechi Eze and it is believed their former director of football was at the match to hold further talks.

There was considerable progress over Friday and Saturday between Spurs and the Eagles, and it looked like a deal could be struck for £55 million plus add-ons.

Delaney had reported on Friday that Tottenham were at least £7m off what Palace would want for the 27-year-old.

The idea of Eze not playing today was also discussed, but negotiations had run into some “difficulties” by Saturday evening.

Palace are now demanding more of the fee up front to boost their chances of immediately signing a replacement for the Tottenham target.

They have Leicester City attacker Bilal El Khannouss and his Club Brugge counterpart Christos Tzolis on their wishlist.

Both London clubs are expected to continue talks, but Eze could still feature for the Eagles when they take on Fredrikstad in the first-leg of the Europa Conference League play-off on Thursday.

Spurs kicked off their campaign with an emphatic 3-0 victory over Burnley at home on Saturday and they could do with Eze before their next game.

They travel to Etihad Stadium next Saturday to take on Manchester City, and having the Palace star available will be a huge boost for Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank.

Securing all three points at the expense of Pep Guardiola and his men will be a massive boost for the North London club, and having a player like Eze for the trip will come in handy.

They will need to meet the demands of Palace as soon as possible to have a chance of getting their man in for their first away game of 2025-26, and fans will be hoping for good news in the coming days.

West Ham United and Everton are both monitoring the situation of Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma due to the uncertainty over his future, according to Sky Sports Switzerland journalist Sacha Tavolieri.

The Spurs star could leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club this summer, and Hammers manager Graham Potter and his Toffees counterpart David Moyes would love to recruit his services.

West Ham need an enforcer in the middle of the park, and Everton also want to bring one to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank dropped Bissouma from the squad for the UEFA Super Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday because the Malian international was late once too often.

Former Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou also once axed him from a matchday squad last year after he was filmed inhaling nitrous oxide from a balloon.

His disciplinary issues could see the North London club part ways with him, but he prefers to remain in England were he to leave this summer.

West Ham and Everton will be open to having him, but other options could emerge for the former Brighton & Hove Albion star.

Tottenham reportedly would accept anything close to £20 million for the 28-year-old as his contract has less than a year left on it.

AS Roma and Fenerbahce are also keen on Bissouma, with the manager of the Turkish club, Jose Mourinho, a huge admirer of his qualities.

He has been reinstated and will be in the Spurs matchday squad for their Premier League opener against Burnley at home tomorrow, but Joao Palhinha has been signed as his direct replacement.

Frank brought in the Portuguese from Bayern Munich as he wanted a new number 6 and was unconvinced that either Rodrigo Bentancur or Bissouma is perfect for the role.

The chance to cash in on him would appeal to Tottenham instead of losing him for nothing next summer, and an exit could be on the cards.
