According to Todofichajes, Paris Saint-Germain are interested in signing Willian, but the Chelsea winger is more attracted by Tottenham Hotspur.

Coach claims he can help Spurs star become the best central defender in the world

Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Davinson Sanchez has been a key player for the North London side since his arrival from Ajax in the summer of 2017 for £42 million, featuring in over 100 games across all competitions till date. The 23-year-old was brought in by former boss Mauricio Pochettino and has retained his starting berth under Jose Mourinho due to his quality. Sanchez is, without a doubt, one of the best defenders in the English top-flight, but he has the potential to become a world-beater and a video analyst believes he can even go on to become the best on the planet if he cuts out the same mistakes he was making during his Ajax days. “Davinson Sanchez at Tottenham. He still makes the same tactical decisions, commits the same fouls, and makes the same mistakes that he was making at Aj...

Report: Tottenham told they can sign La Liga winner for next season, if two conditions are met

Tottenham have been linked with a move for the two-time La Liga winning midfielder Philippe Coutinho this summer. As per Football Insider, the London club have been told that they can sign the playmaker on loan for a fee of around £8m and they will have to cover his wages as well. It will be interesting to see if Spurs agree to that. They can certainly afford the asking price and his wages. Coutinho could improve them immensely if he manages to adapt to Mourinho’s system and regain his confidence. He used to be a star in the Premier League during his time with Liverpool and he should be able to adapt to English football immediately. His direct style of play suits the Premier League as well. He might just get back to his best if he returns to his comfort zone. Coutinho would add flair, goal...

Contact made: Arsenal step up their pursuit of £60 million Chelsea target

Arsenal have ramped up their interest in signing Lyon striker Moussa Dembele. The 23-year-old was strongly linked with a move to Chelsea earlier this month, but L’Equipe has claimed that the Gunners have now made contact with his representatives. Arsenal could be set to lose both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette this summer, potentially leaving them woefully short of forward options. The former Celtic and Fulham star has been hugely impressive since joining Lyon, scoring 42 goals in 88 appearances for the club in all competitions. The early curtailment of the season in France left Lyon outside the European qualification spots, sparking talk that they would need to sell some of their top players.

‘Newcastle are in the race’ – 18-goal star’s agent confirms transfer interest, Spurs keen as well

Victor Osimhen has been linked with a move to the Premier League recently. His agent has now confirmed that Tottenham and Newcastle are keen on the player. He also revealed a chat with Jose Mourinho. Apparently, Osimhen wants to play regularly and his agent has informed the Spurs boss that the Lille forward won’t be a backup for Harry Kane next season. It is highly unlikely that Kane will leave Spurs this summer and therefore it seems that Osimhen’s move to Spurs is a no-goer. It remains to be seen whether Newcastle come forward with an offer now. The 18-goal star’s agent said: “We told Mourinho that if he wants Victor, will Harry Kane be leaving? If Harry Kane still plays for Tottenham will Victor play? Because he will always be benched for him. “Kane is their number one striker and he is...

Report: West Ham can sign versatile defensive target for €25m this summer

West Ham have been linked with a move for the Bologna right back Takehiro Tomiyasu. As per reports (via Sportwitness), Premier League outfit Southampton are keeping tabs on the versatile defender as well. Tomiyasu can play as a centre back if needed and he would be a good addition to David Moyes’s side. The Hammers need to bring in a quality right back this summer. They should be looking to bring in someone better than Fredericks if they want to return to the top half of the table. West Ham need to cut out their mediocre players from their starting lineup in order to improve as a team. They have Cresswell, Ogbonna and Diop at the back but the absence of a reliable right back has let them down this season. West Ham have been linked with Gonzalo Montiel in the recent weeks as well and it wil...

‘They will end up getting relegated’ – Popular pundit urges Newcastle to snub top managerial target

Popular pundit Paul Merson has claimed that Newcastle’s new owners would be making a mistake if they bring in Mauricio Pochettino to replace Steve Bruce. Merson claims that Newcastle need a pragmatic manager right now and Rafa Benitez would be a better option. He adds that Newcastle’s current squad are not well suited to Pochettino’s attacking football and they are much more effective when used in a defensive system. Steve Bruce has been quite defensive in his approach this season and Newcastle have done reasonably well. Similarly, Benitez is known for his pragmatic approach as well. It will be interesting to see who comes in this summer to replace Bruce. It is highly likely that the new owners will want their own candidate managing the side. Pochettino has been heavily linked with the job...
