Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has been linked with a move this summer. He has just one year left on his deal and the likes of Spurs and Everton are thought to be keen on him. Pundit Danny Mills has now urged Everton to sign the Danish midfielder. He said to Football Insider: “He has been doing well for some time. “Southampton have often been a feeder club and it will all be about finances this summer. Everton will be asking – who can improve us? Who can we make money on? And who is not going to cost the earth? I think he ticks all of those boxes. “They are yet to replace Idrissa Gueye but they do have Gomes coming back to full fitness from injury as well. “But there will not be a massive influx of new players coming into football clubs whenever this transfer window happ...
Tottenham have joined the race to sign Dean Henderson this summer. The 23-year-old goalkeeper is on loan at Sheffield United and he has been outstanding for them this season. Outside the top six, he has been the best keeper in the league without a doubt. It will be interesting to see if he returns to Old Trafford in the summer. Henderson is owned by Manchester United. Henderson might struggle to get regular first-team football at United next season, especially with De Gea ahead of him in the pecking order. He needs to be at a club where he will play every week. Henderson has shown that he is a quality keeper and he could be an England international soon. Sitting on the bench at Old Trafford would be detrimental to his development. As per Daily Mirror, Jose Mourinho wants him to challenge H...
According to Italian transfer expert and football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham Hotspur are in talks with Eric Dier over a new contract and the player is close to signing. At the moment, Eric Dier’s new contract ✍🏻 #THFC — Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) June 5, 2020 The 26-year-old has just a year left on his current deal and has already been linked with a summer exit. However, it appears that boss Jose Mourinho is a fan of the versatile England international, and a contract extension could indeed be on the cards. Dier can play at centre-back and defensive midfield but wants to play in defence permanently and has already expressed a desire to play regularly in the position. One of the reasons why the Englishman had stalled on signing a new deal all along was becau...
Tottenham are keen on signing the Inter Milan defender Diego Godin this summer. As per Calciomercato (via Express), the Londoners are willing to enter a bidding war for the experienced center-back. The report adds that Everton are looking to sign the 135-cap Uruguayan international as well. Despite his age, Godin is a quality defender who can improve Spurs a lot in the short term. He could partner Alderweireld for one season or play as a backup. His experience and quality could prove to be invaluable for Jose Mourinho’s side. With Jan Vertonghen expected to leave, Spurs need someone to fill that void. Godin is a top class defender and he would be the ideal alternative. It remains to be seen if Spurs can win the race for his signature now. Godin has not had the best of spells at Inter so fa...
According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea ‘are also in talks with Leicester’ to sign left-back Ben Chilwell. The Athletic claimed earlier this week that the Blues are looking to make two marquee signings at least, with one of them being Chilwell. Chelsea are close to securing a deal for Timo Werner from RB Leipzig. The 24-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Liverpool, but it seems he is heading towards Stamford Bridge instead. Romano claims that all the paperwork for Werner is progressing well. The Guardian journalist has further claimed that the left-back wants to join Chelsea. He is also aware that Frank Lampard wants him. Romano claims that Ajax left-back Nicolás Tagliafico is on the Chelsea list as as an option if the deal collapses for Chilwell. Chesea are also in talks with L...
Tottenham have been linked with a move for the Brazilian midfielder Gerson. We covered reports earlier that Spurs are willing to pay around £16.2 million for the 23-year-old. Gerson has been linked with a move to Arsenal as well. It will be interesting to see if Spurs manage to beat their bitter rivals to Gerson’s signature this summer. Spurs could use a midfielder next season and Gerson has done well for Flamengo. Whether he is able to replicate that form in the Premier League remains doubtful. He struggled at Roma in the past and the pace/intensity of the Premier League is much higher. If he manages to adapt to the league and Mourinho’s style, he has the tools to improve Spurs and be a key player for them. Furthermore, agreeing on a fee with the Brazilian club could be a challenge as wel...
Tottenham have been linked with a move for the French defender Kurt Zouma. The 25-year-old Chelsea defender is not a key member of Lampard’s first-team squad and Mourinho wants him to shore up Spurs’ defence. It will be interesting to see if Spurs can agree on a deal with their bitter rivals for Zouma. When the Frenchman joined Chelsea, he was a world-class talent. However, a serious knee injury has halted his development since then. Zouma could still be a very good player but he will need time and coaching. His loan spell at Everton wasn’t too impressive either. It remains to be seen if Jose Mourinho can bring out the best in the defender. Spurs need defensive reinforcements this summer and Zouma could be a cheap option for them. Vertonghen and Foyth are expected to be on their way out on...
According to The Telegraph, Celtic have identified Wolfsberger AC striker Shon Weissman as a potential replacement should they lose Edouard Odsonne to an English Premier League club this summer. While the Hoops want to hold on to the Frenchman for next season’s 10-in-a-row bid, the likes of Arsenal are keen on him, and it could prove difficult to keep him beyond this term. Neil Lennon’s side are already preparing for Odsonne’s potential departure, and they are keeping tabs on Weissman ahead of a possible swoop. The Austrian Bundesliga star has bagged 29 goals in 30 appearances this season, including strikes against the likes of AS Roma and Borussia Monchengladbach in the Europa League, and he has already attracted Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester and ...
Napoli star Kalidou Koulibaly has been linked with quite a few Premier League clubs already. The latest club linked with a move for the 28-year-old is Tottenham. As per Il Mattino (via Sportwitness), Jose Mourinho’s side are insistent on signing the world-class centre back. Spurs are set to be without Vertonghen next season and their interest in signing a centre back is hardly surprising. However, Koulibaly might be out of their price range. The Londoners are expected to have a limited transfer budget this summer and Koulibaly is valued at around €70m-80m based on various reports. The report claims that even if Spurs manage to convince Koulibaly to join them, the transfer is not just dependent on the player. The defender’s suitors will have to pay Napoli’s asking price and Koulib...
With the Premier League set to resume on June 17, clubs in England have become busy in securing the contract extensions of the players they have signed on loans. The existing deals of the players signed are valid till June 30th, but with the league being delayed due to the global health pandemic, those deals are likely to be extended. Danny Rose falls into that category. The Tottenham Hotspur defender joined Steve Bruce’s Newcastle United during the January transfer window for a loan fee of £1.8m. The 29-year-old has made five Premier League appearances for Newcastle before the campaign was thrown into chaos due to the coronavirus pandemic. According to reports from Sky Sports, Rose could remain at Newcastle for the rest of the season. Newcastle are in talks to extend his loan de...

Spurs want to sign a quality challenger, cover and potential replacement for Harry Kane this summer, and they reckon Edouard could be their man. Kane is open to leaving North London for greener pastures if the team don’t start win...
Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho is keen on a reunion with Chelsea winger Willian this summer but will need to offload at least one attacker to compensate for the Brazilian’s arrival. Willian’s current contract expires at the end of next month but he is expected to remain committed to the Blues until the end of the current season, which has been delayed by the coronavirus pandemic. A number of clubs including Paris Saint-Germain have been credited with an interest in the experienced winger but it is quite clear that he would prefer to reunite with Mourinho at Spurs next term. Still, a deal does not appear straightforward, according to The Star, considering chairman Daniel Levy wants Mourinho to permit the sale of one of the existing forwards prior to Willian’s arrival. Willian will ...
