Barcelona have reportedly sounded out £150m Spurs star ahead of summer move

According to The Transfer Window podcast, La Liga giants Barcelona have sounded out Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane ahead of a potential move during the summer transfer window. Sportslens View The Catalans failed to sign a replacement when Luis Suarez left for Atletico Madrid last summer. That could prove costly in this season’s title race, with the Uruguayan playing a pivotal role as Diego Simeone’s side lead the way in the La Liga with only 10 games remaining. Barcelona will look to bolster their attack this summer, and they are eyeing a potential move for Kane. The Spurs star is one of the best strikers on the planet, and he has already proven that he can be an excellent playmaker, weighing in with 16 assists in 39 games across all competitions. The 27-year-old has 22 goals in thos...

Arsenal and Leicester reportedly keeping tabs on French centre-back

According to Foot Mercato, Arsenal and Leicester City are keen on Valenciennes centre-back Ismael Doukoure and could look to lure him to the Premier League. Strasbourg are also keeping tabs on the 17-year-old who has impressed for the Ligue 2 club this term. Sportslens View Doukoure has featured in 15 games across all competitions for Valenciennes, and his performances at the back appear to have caught the eyes of the aforementioned trio. His pace, aerial threat and ball-playing abilities have set him apart from his peers, and he will be playing in the English or French top-flight sooner rather than later if he continues developing at this rate. Leicester City landed Wesley Fofana from Saint-Etienne last summer, and the 20-year-old has already established himself as one of the best centre-...

Everton reportedly willing to cash in on Colombian to fund Koulibaly move

Everton are willing to sell defender Yerry Mina to fund a move for Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly, according to Football Insider. The Toffees were linked with a move for Koulibaly last week, which came as a surprise to many Everton fans. With Yerry Mina, Michael Keane, Ben Godfrey and Mason Holgate in the squad, it made little sense for Everton to target a central defender. The Toffees will also have promising youngster Jarrad Branthwaite returning from his loan spell with Blackburn Rovers this summer. However, Football Insider now report that Yerry Mina could be sacrificed to sign Koulibaly due to his erratic nature. They claim that Carlo Ancelotti ‘admires Mina physically’ but privately believes he is ‘too erratic and error-prone for a top-tier side’. As a result, Everton coul...

Spurs warned transfer target’s value will have skyrocketed after what Southgate did

Former Tottenham Hotspur right-back Alan Hutton has told the North London club that they might have to pay more than they have bargained for West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Sam Johnstone following his England call-up. With Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford sidelined, Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate decided to call-up the West Brom star for this month’s World Cup qualifiers. He could earn an England cap if he impresses the coaches in training. Spurs are reportedly keen on signing Johnstone as Hugo Lloris’ potential replacement this summer, and Hutton reckons they could have a repeat of the Jack Grealish transfer saga on their hands should the goalie become an England international. Tottenham refused to meet Aston Villa’s news demands for the midfielder back in the summer of 2018, with...

The news will come as a huge boost to Tottenham Hotspur who tried to land him during the last two transfer windows. According to the Daily Star, Spurs will be offered the chance to sign Dybala this summer, although the £40 million fee may put them off.

‘Has he done enough?’ – English striker questions Southgate’s decision to call up Spurs star

West Bromwich Albion striker Charlie Austin has questioned the decision of England manager Gareth Southgate to invite Tottenham Hotspur defender Eric Dier for this month’s World Cup qualifiers. The Three Lions are in Group I of the European qualifiers for Qatar 2022, and they face San Marino, Albania and Poland this month. Southgate’s 26-man squad had some few surprises upon its announcement, with Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold omitted while Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford was also missing despite being thePremier League’s current fifth top-scorer with 13 goals. Austin, currently on loan at Queens Park Rangers, believes that someone like Dier only made the squad because he plays for a big side and not based on current form. “There is favouritism to bigger clubs,” the Engl...

‘I’m so sad’ – Ian Wright sends Odegaard message to Arsenal

Arsenal went into the international break on the back of a 3-3 draw at West Ham United, and manager Mikel Arteta will be hoping his players can continue from where they stopped when they host Liverpool immediately Premier League action resumes. The Gunners found themselves 3-0 down 32 minutes into the clash with the Hammers, but they bounced back in style, leaving the London Stadium with a hard-fought point. Real Madrid loanee Martin Odegaard played a huge role in the comeback, playing a part in all of Arsenal’s three goals. The 22-year-old was also very impressive in the earlier and crucial victories over Olympiacos and Tottenham Hotspur, and the Gunners would hope to retain his services beyond the end of the campaign. Odegaard joined Arsenal on loan till the end of the season in January,...

Spurs have reportedly identified 25y/o as replacement for Man Utd-linked star

According to L’Equipe, Tottenham Hotspur are keen on snapping up Lille goalkeeper Mike Maignan this summer. Spurs assistant head coach Joao Sacramento and goalkeeping coach Nuno Santos know the 25-year-old from their time together at the French club, and he has been touted as a long-term replacement for Hugo Lloris. The 34-year-old could leave Spurs at the end of the campaign, and while he has been linked with a return to OGC Nice, he could choose to remain in the Premier League, with Manchester United reportedly a possible destination. Sportslens View Maignan is a major reason why Lille are level on points with Paris Saint-Germain at the top of the Ligue 1 table with just eight games left given his huge quality, and he is not short of suitors at the moment. Serie A giants AC Milan are als...

‘Don’t play him again’, ‘wow’ – Some Spurs fans fuming after what star has just said

Wales international Gareth Bale has revealed that he plans to return to Real Madrid after his season-long loan at Tottenham Hotspur. The winger returned to Spurs last summer, seven years after he left for the Spanish capital, and has since scored 10 goals and weighed in with three assists in 25 games across all competitions. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham want to keep Bale for another season, but it appears that the player’s wish is to return to Madrid for the last year on his contract. “I think the main reason I came to Spurs this year was to play football first and foremost,” the 31-year-old said. “Going into the Euros I wanted to be match-fit. The original plan was to do a season at Spurs and after the Euros still have a year left at Real Madrid. “My plan is to go back – that’s...

David Ornstein shares what Spurs insiders have recently told him about Kane’s future

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane continues to be routinely linked with an exit, and the rumours will intensify this summer should the club end the campaign without a trophy and fail to qualify for Europe next season. Spurs were dumped out of the Europa League last week after losing 3-0 in the second-leg of their round-of-16 clash against Dinamo Zagreb despite winning 2-0 in the first-leg. They are currently sixth in the Premier League table, with just two places and three points separating them from the top-four. The likes of Liverpool and Everton are breathing down their neck, and they could end up finishing outside the top-seven and miss out entirely on Europe next season should they fail to impress during the final nine fixtures of the campaign. Tottenham face Manchester City in the...
