Di Marzio: Spurs have tabled loan bid & £46m option to buy 22-goal striker
According to Italian journalist and transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Tottenham Hotspur have registered an interest in bringing Torino striker Andrea Belotti to the English Premier League this summer. Manager Jose Mourinho wants another striker for the new season and is hoping to land one before the transfer window shuts next month. Spurs have tabled a bid for Belotti, asking to sign him on loan with an option for a permanent move worth £46 million. However, Torino have rejected the idea, and they have told Tottenham that they will only consider an offer for an outright sale. Belotti ended 2019-20 with 22 goals in 44 games across all the competitions for the Serie A side, and he definitely has the quality to help Spurs return to the top-four and win silverware this season and going forwa...
Report: Villa have submitted a bid for Newcastle attacking target
According to French outlet Foot Mercato, Aston Villa have submitted a £16 million (plus bonuses) bid for Lyon attacker Bertrand Traore. The Burkina Faso international is also on the radar of Newcastle United, Crystal Palace and Fulham, and he is expected to be sold this summer. Lyon have knocked back Villa’s opening bid, though, and are holding out for around £23 million.

Manager Dean Smith is looking to further bolster his attacking ranks after signing Ollie Watkins from Brentford during the week, while his St. James’ Park counterpart Steve Bruce also wants to do the same after landing Callum Wilson. Traore, 25, ha...
‘Worrying signs’ – Gary Lineker tipping West Ham for relegation
West Ham United kick off their 2020-21 Premier League campaign today with a visit from Newcastle United, and the Hammers will be keen to hit the ground running. They came close to getting relegated last season, eventually surviving after finishing in 16th place and five points above the drop zone. David Moyes’ side are yet to make any additions to their squad this summer, and the departure of Grady Diangana to West Bromwich Albion on a permanent basis has angered the players and fans. BBC Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker has tipped West Ham to have a shaky season, and he reckons they could struggle to hold on to their top-flight status at the end of the campaign. “As for the relegation spots, it could come from any of the rest,” Lineker told The Sun. “There’s been some worrying sign...

Report: 23-yr-old linked with Man Utd expected to sign for Tottenham soon
Tottenham have been linked with the Real Madrid defender Sergio Reguilon this summer. According to Forbes, the player could soon join Jose Mourinho’s team. He has been linked with Manchester United as well but the Red Devils are not keen on making a bid. The report further claims that United believe their name is being used to drive up interest in the 23-year-old. Reguilon was on loan at Sevilla last year and he was very impressive for them. He needs to keep playing regularly in order to fulfill his potential and Real Madrid clearly cannot provide him with that platform. Los Blancos have Marcelo and Mendy ahead of him in the pecking order. A permanent move away from Santiago Bernabeu would be ideal for the player this summer. Spurs could give him the opportunity he needs right now. Reguilo...
