Tottenham have been linked with a move for the Bayern Munich winger Ivan Perisic this summer. We covered reports claiming that the Londoners are monitoring the 31-year-old. It will be interesting to see if Spurs make their move for Perisic in the coming weeks. The Croatian is on loan from Inter Milan and he could be signed for a reasonable fee this summer. The Italian side want to get rid of him permanently as the Croatian is on big wages of around £127k-a-week. Perisic has been linked with a move to the Premier League for a while now and it remains to be seen where he ends up. He has been linked with a move to Manchester United as well. Both Spurs and United could use some attacking depth and Perisic has the experience and quality to make an immediate impact. He would be a short term...
Report: Spurs feel they would have won the title in 2017 had they signed Liverpool star
According to The Athletic, Tottenham Hotspur feel they would have won the English Premier League title in the 2016-2017 season had they got Liverpool winger Sadio Mane in the summer of 2016. Spurs wanted to land the Senegal international and were confident they could strike a deal with Southampton. Tottenham’s former head of recruitment Paul Mitchell had brought Mane to Saint Mary’s from Red Bull Salzburg and was looking to reunite with him at North London. The Liverpool star’s versatility, athleticism and outstanding performances for Southampton made him appealing to Spurs, but Reds outbid them, coming in with an offer of a £34 million and wages of around £90,000 a week. Jurgen Klopp has always had his eyes on Mane since his days as Borussia Dortmund manager, and Liverpool ensured t...
Report shares why Spurs once opted against signing Virgil Van Dijk
According to The Athletic, Tottenham Hotspur had Liverpool centre-back Virgil Van Dijk on their target list in the summer of 2015 before moving for Toby Alderweireld. The Dutchman was at Celtic at the time and did end up replacing the Belgian at Southampton, but he could have been at Spurs if chairman Daniel Levy had failed to land Alderweireld. Van Dijk was the next name on the list of Levy’s centre-back targets behind the Belgium international, and Tottenham still kept an eye on him at Saint Mary’s. The 28-year-old was on the radar of the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City just after two seasons in England, and he ended up joining Liverpool for £75 million in January 2018 Van Dijk has since helped the Reds to the Champions League title and is a huge reason why they are just a few poi...
Report: EPL giants Mourinho allegedly wants their defender don’t negotiate with Spurs over transfers
According to The Athletic, London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea still refuse to negotiate with each other over transfers after the Blues hijacked Spurs deal for Willian in 2013. The Brazilian winger had done and passed a medical with Spurs, only for him to join Chelsea at the last minute. Willian is set to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season after seven years and has been linked with a move to Tottenham, with boss Jose Mourinho eyeing a reunion. It remains to be seen if that is on the cards, though, but the Portuguese is reportedly interested in signing another Chelsea player – Kurt Zouma – and it will be interesting to see if both sides will finally agree to do business. According to RMC Sport, Tottenham are keeping tabs on the Frenchman ahead of the summer transfer wind...
Pundit explains how Chelsea’s Timo Werner transfer will benefit Tottenham this summer
Former Tottenham striker and pundit Darren Bent has now explained how Chelsea’s decision to sign Timo Werner will benefit Spurs. As per Bent, the prices are more reasonable now due to the Coronavirus crisis and clubs will not be able to demand exorbitant fees for their players. Getting a player of Werner’s caliber for £53m is proof that the market is likely to be more affordable and that will help Spurs sign their own targets. He said to Football Insider: “Everyone’s going to be thinking about transfers but when you look that Chelsea have been able to nip in and get Werner for around £50million, I do think this whole pandemic and period is going to bring transfers back down to earth. “I think we were seeing way too high a price paid for players that quite frankly weren’t worth it for that ...
Report: Club demanding for more than £23m for 23-goal striker Spurs & Everton want
According to HLN, AA Gent are demanding for more than £23 million for the signature of striker Jonathan David after Manchester United and Arsenal have held informal talks with his agent Nick Mavromaras. Everton are also keeping tabs on the Canadian forward, while Tottenham Hotspur have been linked too. Liverpool, Ajax, Inter Milan, and FC Porto are also interested in David ahead of the summer transfer window, and that doesn’t come as a surprise following his incredible campaign for the Belgian top-flight outfit. However, none of the suitors has made any formal offer so far, and Spurs and the Toffees could still have a chance if they act fast. The 20-year-old scored 18 goals in 27 league games and added five more in 13 games across other competitions for Gent before the campaign ended abrup...
Report: Wolves submit offer for French centre-back Spurs & Arteta want
According to L’Équipe (via GFFN), Wolverhampton Wanderers have submitted a £13.5 million offer for Reims centre-back Axel Disasi as boss Nuno Espirito Santo looks to strengthen his backline ahead of next season. The French youngster is also wanted in North London, with both Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal keeping tabs on him. Disasi is also wanted by Bundesliga and La Liga sides after helping Reims achieve the best defensive record (21 goals conceded) in the Ligue 1 in 2019-20 and the second-best across Europe’s top-five leagues. Southampton have also been linked with the 22-year-old, and it appears a move to the Premier League could happen. Despite Wolves’ attempt to beat both Spurs and the Gunners to Disasi’s signature, they are yet to meet Reims’ demands as the club are holding out for £1...
‘Would be incredible’, ‘Make it happen’ – Some Spurs fans react to Mourinho’s interest in £50m star
Tottenham have been linked with a move for the Real Madrid defender Achraf Hakimi. The player is currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund and he has been excellent for them. Hakimi is expected to develop into one of the best right-backs in the world and he would be a tremendous addition to Mourinho’s defence. We covered reports yesterday that Spurs have made enquiries for the player. However, the move seems quite unlikely. It would be a massive surprise if Real Madrid let him leave permanently. Hakimi is the future replacement for Carvajal and Zidane will not want to cash in on him. It will be interesting to see if Spurs submit an offer for the player in the coming weeks. The Londoners are expected to have a limited transfer budget this summer and there is no way they can tempt Real Madrid w...
Report: Agents ‘trying to convince’ Spurs and Chelsea to sign £80m player
Barcelona are desperate to offload Philippe Coutinho in the summer. Despite scoring 21 goals in 76 matches since joining the club from Liverpool for a reported transfer fee of around £142m, Barcelona feel they’ve seen enough of him. The Brazilian joined Bayern Munich on loan where he duly impressed. However, despite scoring nine goals and providing seven assists, Bayern are unwilling to sign him permanently. Barcelona just want to get rid of him, and they are willing to lower their asking price to £80m. Even then, it’s a huge amount, and especially with the global economic situation affecting football finances, no clubs would be willing to pay that amount. And that leaves Barcelona in a spot of bother. Coutinho has attracted interest from the Premier League, with the likes of Che...
Report: Jose Mourinho has made a decision regarding 27-yr-old Tottenham target
Tottenham have been linked with a move for the Brazilian midfielder Philippe Coutinho. The 27-year-old has fallen out of favour at Barcelona and he needs a fresh start. He has been linked with a return to the Premier League. The former Liverpool star played his best football in England and a return to his comfort zone might be the best option for him right now. Spurs were keen on the player but Jose Mourinho has now decided that he is too expensive for the Londoners as per Mundo Deportivo (via Daily Mirror). Spurs have a limited budget this summer and they cannot afford to splash out on the Brazilian. The Premier League side have faced huge losses because of the current health crisis. Coutinho will have to find another suitor now. The attacking midfielder needs to join a club where the man...
Club chief comments on Mourinho target, Spurs fans react: ‘Perfect signing’, ‘No brainer’, ‘Get him’
Southampton chief Martin Semmens has confirmed that if a club is willing to meet their demands for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, they will sanction a sale. He said recently: “Let’s be clear about Pierre, he’s been absolutely upfront with us and everybody publicly that he sees himself at the very highest level of football. He wants to win the league, he wants to win the Champions League either with us or somebody else and at some point he’s going to either have to drive us to that level or move somewhere else to do it. “If there’s a club out there that can win the Champions League and they think Pierre can improve their team, if they can pay for him then in the end we have to let him go.” The 24-year-old has just one year left on his current deal and he has been linked with a move to Tottenha...
