Spurs chairman Daniel Levy reportedly wanted to bring the Brazilian to North London last summer as he was available on loan, but former boss Mauricio Poc...
Tottenham Hotspur host Manchester United on Friday as English Premier League finally resumes action, and the game could have a huge say on both sides’ chances of playing in the Champions League next term. Only four points stand between Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men – fifth in the table – and Jose Mourinho’s side – eighth in the table – and a tough encounter should be expected. Spurs striker Harry Kane can’t wait to return to action for the first time since January, and the England international is raring to go. He uploaded a clip of himself on Twitter which showed his journey through his injury from the Southampton game in January, and Red Devils legend Rio Ferdinand has sent this message to him: Good Luck for the rest of the season… no goals Friday pls! Nice One 👊🏽😂 —...
According to reports from the Scottish Sun, Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard is open to extending his stay at Parkhead. Edouard is one of the in-demand strikers in Europe after he enjoyed a spectacular campaign for the Bhoys. The French striker has scored 27 goals and provided 19 assists in 45 games in all competitions this season. Last month, it was reported that the Magpies were weighing up a move for the striker. The Hoops value the player at around £40m, but due to the present financial situation, a deal could be done for much less. The Sunday Times also claimed last month that Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur were keeping close tabs on Edouard as they look to sign a back-up striker for Harry Kane. However, Edouard has claimed that he would love to be a part of...
According to The Sun, Tottenham Hotspur are in a position to sign Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey as he has been offered to them. The Wales international is out of favour at Turin and could be set for an exit after just a season as the club look to cope with the financial shortcomings the coronavirus pandemic has caused. A loan deal could be on the cards, with Juventus and the loaning club splitting his £400,000-a-week wages, and it will be interesting to see if Spurs boss Jose Mourinho is still interested in the 28-year-old. The Portuguese failed with a bid to land Ramsey in the summer of 2017 after making a discrete enquiry during his days as Manchester United manager. At the time, Mourinho had told United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward he regarded Ramsey as a better option than Pa...
Thierno Seydi, the agent of FC Metz striker Habib Diallo has revealed that Tottenham Hotspur made a bid for the Senegal international in January. Jose Mourinho was keen on boosting his attacking ranks during the winter transfer window following an injury to Harry Kane, but no signing was made in the end, and it ended up hurting his side’s chances in the Champions League and FA Cup. Spurs will likely return to the market this summer for a striker as they badly need a cover in that department, and Diallo’s agent has hinted they could come for his signature. “Already in January, there was an offer from Tottenham. As soon as the European markets open, things should precipitate,” he told the Senegalese Press Agency (APS) (via GFFN). The 24-year-old scored 12 goals and assisted thrice in 26 leag...
Former Premier League striker and pundit Kevin Phillips reckons that Olivier Giroud would turn down the chance to sign for West Ham. He also believes that Tottenham would be a more attractive option for Giroud. He said to Football Insider: “I do not think he would be tempted by a move to West Ham. “We do not know what league West Ham are going to be in yet. If they do survive you would presume they will be scrapping relegation again next year. “Having come from a side like Chelsea, does he want that? At Tottenham, he could be challenging for a European spot. I know where I would rather be. “Yes, you want to play week in, week out but Harry has had his injury problems at Spurs. He has been injured every season for the last two or three. “Tottenham have the new stadium as well which is a pul...
Tottenham winger Lucas Moura could be dropped against Manchester United. According to Football Insider, Jose Mourinho could use a 4-3-3 system against his old club and it will be difficult to accommodate the Brazilian in the starting lineup. Kane, Son and Bergwijn could start ahead of Moura when the Londoners take on Manchester United. It will be interesting to see what happens when the two teams meet. Even if Moura doesn’t get to start against the Red Devils, he is still a very good player who will make an impact when he comes on. Apparently, Mourinho is looking to use three midfielders to control the play. It would make sense given the fact that United have a strong midfield. The likes of Pogba, Fred and Bruno Fernandes are all top-class players and Spurs will need bodies in the midfield...
According to Bleacher Report, Tottenham Hotspur are interested in bringing Paris Saint-Germain centre-back Thiago Silva to the Premier League this summer, but they face competition from Arsenal and Everton. The 35-year-old is set to leave Parc des Princes in the coming weeks after both parties couldn’t agree to terms of a contract extension, and it appears Spurs boss Jose Mourinho wants him. Tottenham need another centre-back with Jan Vertonghen leaving at the end of the campaign, and while Silva won’t be a long-term replacement, the fact that he will be available for free has made him attractive to suitors. The Brazilian’s representatives have been relatively surprised at just how much interest there has already been from Premier League clubs, and it will be interesting to see where he en...
Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo Araujo has confirmed that Brazilian centre-back Thiago Silva will leave Parc des Princes at the end of the season. Sky Sports journalist and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano shared a quote from the PSG chief on Twitter, and it could send Tottenham Hotspur and Everton into overdrive. Leonardo: “Edinson Cavani and Thiago Silva will leave PSG at the end of the season, it’s confirmed”. 🔴 #PSG #transfers — Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) June 13, 2020 Both teams have been linked with an interest in the 35-year-old ahead of the summer transfer window, with Arsenal, AC Milan and Manchester United also said to be interested. Toffees boss Carlo Ancelotti wants to reunite with Silva at Goodison Park, while Spurs manager Jose Mourinho also wants...
Tottenham have been linked with a move for the Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser this summer. As per Football Insider, the 26-year-old has now refused to sign a short-term extension with the Cherries and he won’t finish the season with them. Apparently, Fraser is worried that he could pick up an injury if he plays during the remainder of the season. The Premier League has been put on hold since March and players are lacking in match fitness. It is understandable why players like Fraser are worried about picking up injuries. The winger does not want his big move scuppered due to an injury. It will be interesting to see if Spurs snap him up in the coming weeks now. Fraser will be a free agent at the end of this month. However, he won’t be able to play for Tottenham even if his signing is confir...
According to The Sun, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp wants Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves at Anfield this summer. The Portuguese is rated £50 million, and the Reds boss reckons he can help freshen up his midfield for next season’s Premier League title defence. Neves has impressed for Wolves over the last two seasons and is also attracting Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola. The Catalan saw his side’s title challenge crumble this season and is looking to strengthen his squad for next season’s domestic battle with Liverpool. The Anfield outfit aren’t short of options in the middle of the park, but Gini Wijnaldum is stalling on signing an extension with just a year left on his current contract, while Klopp is said to be losing patience with Naby Keita. The Guinean arrived f...
Tottenham defender Juan Foyth has been linked with a move away from the club this summer. Apparently, Leeds United are keen on the player and they are close to signing him on loan. As per Ole (via Sportwitness), the Championship giants are set to sign the player on a loan deal for the next season. The report claims that Marcelo Bielsa is closing in on a deal for the 22-year-old. Foyth needs to play regular first-team football and he needs to leave Spurs in order for that to happen. He is unlikely to get starts ahead of Sanchez and Alderweireld. The young defender has the potential to be a starter for Spurs but he needs to develop as a player first. Regular football at Leeds could help him improve. Someone like Bielsa will be able to bring out the best in him. The Argentine manager is a wor...
