‘Ticks all the boxes’, ‘Get him in’ – Some Spurs fans react to links with 24-yr-old Everton target
Tottenham are interested in signing the Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg this summer. As per Telegraph, the 24-year-old has been a long term target for the Londoners and they could make a bid for him. Hojbjerg has just one year left on his deal and Everton are keen on the player as well. It will be interesting to see if Spurs can agree on a fee with the Saints. Hojbjerg is pretty underrated in the Premier League and he could prove to be a solid addition to Jose Mourinho’s midfield. He will add composure and control to Tottenham’s play. The deep-lying playmaker will help Spurs control games better. The Londoners need someone like him to dominate games. They have a very good box-to-box player in Ndombele who can drive them forward and provide defensive cover. Hojbjerg could recyc...
Report: Tottenham keen on 25-yr-old midfield powerhouse, Mourinho an admirer
Tottenham are keen on the Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. As per Daily Mail, Manchester United and Chelsea are keen on the 25-year-old as well. Lazio could sell the player this summer and it will be interesting to see if any Premier League club come up with an offer. Jose Mourinho is reportedly an admirer and he wanted to sign the player during his time as the Manchester United manager. Tottenham could certainly use a top class midfielder like Sergej Milinkovic-Savic next season but a deal seems unlikely right now. Daily Mail claims that Lazio could demand £80m or more for the midfielder and Spurs might struggle to afford him. The Londoners are under financial stress right now and their transfer budget is likely to be limited. The current health crisis has cost clubs millions and...
Louis van Gaal blames Ed Woodward for Manchester United sacking
Getty Images Louis van Gaal blames Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward for his departure from the club in 2016, describing him as “the evil genius” behind his sacking. The Dutch head coach replaced David Moyes at Old Trafford in 2014 but lasted just two years in the job despite winning the FA Cup in his final game in charge. After guiding United to fourth place in the Premier League in his first season, Van Gaal saw his side slip down to fifth the following campaign as he failed to convince the club that he could turn their fortunes around. Jose Mourinho was named as Van Gaal’s successor just days after he was sacked and the Dutchman has stressed that he blames Woodward and not the Portuguese for his departure. “I blame Ed Woodward, my CEO at Manchester United, much more ...
£18m midfielder speaks on his Barcelona future amid reported Tottenham Hotspur interest
Croatian midfielder Ivan Rakitic has said that he is ‘very happy‘ at Barcelona amid the recent speculation linking him with a Premier League move to Tottenham Hotspur. The 32-year-old’s playing time with the Blaugrana has reduced with the arrival of Frenkie de Jong last summer and he has been restricted to only 13 starts in the Spanish La Liga and Champions League combined this term. With his contract expiring in less than 14 months’ time, there has been the suggestion that he could make the move to Spurs this summer with manager Jose Mourinho being a keen admirer of his services. However, speaking to Sky Germany, Rakitic has cleared doubts regarding his future by stating that he is committed to the Blaugrana for the remaining length of his contract. He added that he continues to have a go...
Report: Tottenham keen on 24-yr-old Everton target, star will cost around €30m
Trabzonspor keeper Ugurcan Cakir has been linked with a move to the Premier League this summer. Earlier we reported Liverpool and Everton’s interest in the player. It appears that Tottenham are keen (via Sportwitness) on the player as well. Cakir has done well for the Turkish club and he could be a good addition to Mourinho’s side. Spurs need a quality keeper to push Lloris for the starting berth and the likes of De Bie and Vorm could be on their way out this summer. The 24-year-old keeper could provide competition for the Spurs star next season and then replace him eventually. It will be interesting to see if the Londoners are willing to pay the asking price for Cakir. The keeper is valued at €30m and Spurs might not be keen on shelling out that kind of money for a backup player. That sai...
Spurs ready to submit offer for 28-yr-old who is one of the best players in his position
Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly has been linked with a move away from the club this summer. According to Calciomercato (via Sportwitness), Tottenham are interested in the player and they are ready to submit an offer for him. However, the 28-year-old player is keen on a move to a ‘top club’ and the idea of joining Spurs is not attractive enough for him. The likes of Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona have been mentioned as his preferred destinations. It will be interesting to see where Koulibaly ends up this summer. He is a world-class defender who would improve almost every team in the world. If Spurs manage to tempt him, it would be a sensational signing for them. Jose Mourinho is a world-class manager and perhaps he could change the player’s mind. It will be interesting to see what h...
Report: Newcastle plotting summer move for reported Tottenham target
Newcastle are interested in signing the Norwich City full-back Max Aarons. The young right-back has made quite an impression in the Premier League so far and he has been linked with the likes of Tottenham as well. It will be interesting to see if the Canaries can hold on to him beyond this summer. Norwich are likely to go down this season and if that happens, it will be difficult for them to keep Aarons at the club. The right-back is too good for the Championship and deserves to move on to a bigger club. As per 90min, Newcastle are looking at a few English defenders this summer and Aarons is one of them. The Magpies need to improve their full-back options in the summer and Aarons would be a sensational signing for them. The 20-year-old is destined to reach the top and signing him now would...
Football Federation president hints Tottenham are desperate to sign 15-goal star
Tottenham have been linked with Vedat Muriqi for a while now. Kosovo Football Federation’s President, Agim Ademi has now claimed that Spurs are ready to pay whatever Fenerbahce wants for the player. The Premier League club are apparently insisting for the striker. He said (quotes via Sportwitness): “Tottenham are insisting on signing Muriqi but there are also other teams in Italy who are interested in him. Tottenham were ready to pay whatever Fenerbahce wants, but since then, other Serie A clubs have entered the race, such as Napoli.” Muriqi has scored 15 goals for the Turkish outfit this season and he could be a decent addition to Mourinho’s attack. Spurs need to add more goals to their side and they need an alternative to Harry Kane as well. The Londoners are over-reliant on the England ...
Will Premier League with no fans be worth the wait?
The Premier League is adamant that it can overcome huge logistical challenges to get players back on the pitch during the coronavirus crisis but has long since accepted there will be no fans in the stadiums. English Football Association chairman Greg Clarke became the latest senior figure to admit this week that social-distancing guidelines make it impossible for supporters to congregate in stadiums “any time soon”. The drive behind the Premier League’s “Project Restart” is the attempt to avoid having to pay back millions in TV revenue. Clubs could reportedly miss out on £762 million ($946 million) for failing to complete this season alone. According to UEFA’s latest European Club Footballing Landscape report, just 13 percent of the Premier League’s revenue comes from gate receipts. Englan...
Report: Spurs ready to pay Serie A giants’ asking price for 24y/o striker
According to LaRoma24 (via Football Italia), Tottenham Hotspur are ready to pay AS Roma’s £25 million asking price for Czech Republic international striker Patrik Schick with RB Leipzig unwilling to meet their demands. The 24-year-old is currently on a season-long loan at the Bundesliga side, and while an option-to-buy clause was inserted in the deal in the event of Champions League qualification, Leipzig want a 50% discount as a result of the financial strain the coronavirus pandemic has put on clubs. Roma aren’t keen on reducing Schick’s asking price, though, and that has given Tottenham and other suitors a chance to swoop. The North London giants are looking to add another striker to their attacking ranks after injuries to Harry Kane and Son Heung-min brutally exposed their lack of dept...
Report: Tottenham in the race to sign La Liga talent, transfer could be costly
Tottenham are looking to sign the La Liga defender Emerson this summer. As per Record (via Sportwitness), the Londoners are in the race to sign the 21-year-old. Their interest in the Brazilian is hardly surprising. Mourinho needs to improve his full-back positions and Emerson would be a good addition. The La Liga player is highly talented and he has a big future ahead of himself. He would be a great alternative to the likes of Aurier. If he manages to develop and fulfill his potential, he could be a leading star in the Premier League. It will be interesting to see if Spurs can agree on a fee for him this summer. The player is on loan at Real Betis from Barcelona until 2021 and the Catalan giants will have to pay up if they want to cut short that loan spell. Therefore, the transfer won’t be...
Tottenham Hotspur prepared to sell 22-year-old star for just £8m: report
Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to sanction the sale of defender Juan Foyth for just £8m this summer, a report from Football Insider claims. The centre-back has been with the north London club since August 2017 but he has not been able to establish himself as a regular with just 32 appearances across all competitions. Foyth still has more than two years remaining on his contract but Spurs are keen on selling him so long as they can recoup the entire £8m fee paid for his services from Estudiantes three years ago. The 22-year-old has generally been a regular on the bench for Spurs but he has failed to even make the matchday squad since Jose Mourinho replaced Mauricio Pochettino as the manager in November. Foyth has earned only 136 minutes of first-team football under the Portuguese ...
