Everton will strike gold if Benitez can sign £25m star from PL rivals – SL View
Everton have been linked with a move for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Harry Winks, and he would be a smart signing for the Toffees. According to Fabrizio Romano, signing the 25-year-old is a possibility for Everton, with Rafael Benitez keen to bolster his midfield areas. Winks has made over 170 appearances for the club since making his debut in 2013. A stylish player with good technical abilities, big things were expected of Winks when he first burst onto the scene. However, recurrent injuries and loss of form meant he played a peripheral role for Spurs last season. Winks has now dropped down the pecking order at the club, and Spurs have made him available for transfer. The England international has a contract at the club until 2024, and Spurs are demanding around £25 million for him....

6’2″, 21yo Serie A striker could be ideal replacement for Harry Kane at Tottenham [Opinion]
For Tottenham Hotspur, the thought of losing Harry Kane is inconceivable. The 27-year-old has been the most prolific goalscorer in England for the past five years. Kane is already one of the best strikers of his generation and has single-handedly carried Spurs for the past few seasons. Despite the club finishing 7th in the Premier League table, Kane ended last season as the top scorer and top assister. He is now desperate to win silverware and stated his desire to do so back in May in a detailed interview with Gary Neville. Kane stopped short of openly stating a desire to move away from Tottenham, but the insinuation was clear to see. Spurs are reluctant to sell, but they may find it difficult to keep hold of in the face of serious interest from Manchester City. If Kane does jump ship, a&n...

‘Would be class’, ‘He’s a baller’ – Some Spurs fans react to the club’s reported enquiry for 21-yr-old
Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Pedro Neto this summer.

The 21-year-old has made a positive impression since his move to Molineux and it is no surprise that the top clubs are keeping tabs on him. Spurs could definitely use a young and exciting winger like Neto and the Portuguese attacker could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for the Londoners. The 21-year-old is extremely versatile and he can play across multiple roles in the final third. Neto mostly operated as the left winger last season but he played on the right flank as well as a second striker and a centre forward. Nuno Espirito Santo will know all about th...
