They have identified Borussia Monchengladbach striking duo Alassane Plea and Marcus Thuram as his potential replacements, reports Le10Sport. The French news outlet claims that Spurs greatly appreciate the understanding the French striking duo have struck on the pitch but are yet to make contact with the Bundesliga club.

Plea and Thuram bagged 23 goals between them last season across all competitions and are among the best striking partnerships in Europe. Spurs know replacing their star striker’s goals would prove extremely difficult, and they reckon s...
Tottenham keen on South American attacker with 17 goal contributions last season
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Colombian international Luis Diaz. The highly-rated winger had an impressive season with Porto last year, helping them reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Diaz has also had an impressive Copa America campaign with this country, and his performances have attracted the attention of several clubs across Europe. According to Antena2, Inter Milan and Roma are keen on signing the attacker this summer. The 24-year-old, who can play on either flank, bagged 11 goals and six assists this past season. Tottenham could definitely use a quality wide forward, and the Colombian seems like an ideal fit.

Tottenham and Leeds keen on 21-yr-old midfielder, Paratici a big fan of the player
Denmark international Mikkel Damsgaard has been outstanding for his country at the European Championships. According to Club Doria 46, Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing him, with newly appointed director of football Fabio Paratici a big fan of the youngster.

They are not the only Premier League club interested in Damsgaard, with Leeds United, Southampton, Crystal Palace and West Ham United also keeping tabs on him. Tottenham need to add more creativity to their midfield, and Damsgaard could be the ideal long-term replacement for Christian Eriksen.

West Ham favourites to sign Aston Villa target with 18 goal contributions last season – report
West Ham United have jumped ahead of Aston Villa in the race to sign Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham this summer, Football Insider reports. The England international was the Blues’ joint top-scorer last season with 12 goals, but he played just 16 minutes during the final three months of the campaign. The European champions are actively searching for an elite striker this summer, and Abraham is free to head through the exit door for the right price. Both West Ham and Villa have been regularly linked, but the latter are reluctant to make a move with Dean Smith having concerns over Abraham’s finishing qualities. Hammers boss David Moyes has previously suggested that the club may not afford Abraham for the reported £40 million price tag in the media. However, it is now reported that he coul...

26-yr-old could be on the move this summer, Everton are reportedly keen on signing him
Atalanta goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini is expected to leave the club this summer and Everton are hoping to sign him. According to La Lazio Siamo Noi, the goalkeeper is looking for a new experience next season and a move to Everton could prove to be ideal for the 26-year-old. The Toffees are in desperate need of goal-keeping reinforcements and they will have to bring in an upgrade on Jordan Pickford if they want to push for European qualification next season. The England international has been error-prone for Everton in the last couple of years and Gollini could prove to be an upgrade on him. Gollini had an impressive season with Atalanta last year and the likes of Lazio and Fiorentina are keeping tabs on the player as well.

Tottenham join the race to sign 23-yr-old, asking price will not be a problem
Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar. Apparently, the player is valued at around €20-25 million and Arsenal are keen on signing him as well.

‘Yes please’, ‘Great player’ – Some Everton fans react to the club’s interest in 26-yr-old
Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma is expected to leave Stamford Bridge this summer and we covered reports earlier that Everton are keen on signing the French defender. The 26-year-old centre-back has fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea and he needs to leave in order to play regular first-team football. Zouma is a talented defender but he has not been able to live up to the expectations at Chelsea because of his injury problems. It is evident that the Frenchman needs a fresh start this summer and he needs to join a club where he can regain his sharpness and confidence with consistent game time. He is unlikely to start ahead of Antonio Rudiger and Thiago Silva next season and therefore a move away from Chelsea would be in his best interests. The player has been on loan at Everton before and i...
