Nuno Espirito Santo has become the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur, the club confirmed yesterday. The Portuguese will now work alongside Fabio Paratici in bringing in the right profile of players at Spurs to bolster the squad ahead of next season. While keeping hold of Harry Kane should be top priority, the north London club must also look to add quality players in defence and midfield this summer. Last summer, Spurs added depth in midfield by landing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, and he turned out to be a smart addition for the club. However, Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko have been disappointing and the duo should be offloaded this summer. With that in mind, Tottenham should make a move for Ruben Neves this summer. Nuno knows Neves very well having coached him at Wolves. The Portugal internati...
Mikkel Damsgaard has impressed heavily in the Euro championships for Denmark. The 20-year-old wasn’t meant to play a big role though.

Tottenham Hotspur, who are still without a manager, are set to rival Arsenal for the signing of Houssem Aouar in the summer transfer window. Aouar was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal last year, but the deal failed to materialised and he remained a Lyon player. The 22-year-old was in sparkling form last season.

Brighton & Hove Albion manager Graham Potter is not keen on becoming Tottenham Hotspur’s next manager, reports The Sun. With four years left on his contract, Spurs would have to part with £15 million in compensation to land the 46-year-old, but he will only leave the Seagulls for a top-four job. Potter is willing to wait and enhance his reputation, hoping that Liverpool or Manchester City will eventually come calling. Tottenham appear to be fully focused on Nuno Espirito Santo at the moment, but an agreement between both parties is far from being sealed.

While they remain a big club, the north Londoners have lost their Champions League status, only qu...

Tottenham Hotspur could compete with Everton and Manchester United to sign Norwich City defender Max Aarons this summer, Sky Sports reports. The north London club are braced for the departure of Serge Aurier, and they are actively looking for a quality young replacement. A move for Brighton & Hove Albion’s Tariq Lamptey was recently touted, but a deal seems unlikely due to the hefty £50 million price tag. Spurs appear to have revived the pursuit of Aarons, who could be available for £30m. They could face competition from Everton and United. Sportslens view: Aside from Aurier, Spurs have Matt Doherty and Japhet Tanganga, who can operate in the right-back role, but the latter is naturally a central defender. Doherty has had a tough time with Spurs, having had to cope with more defen...
