Report shares Levy’s stance on 3-time PL winner amid talks of players-plus-cash deal
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has reportedly made his stance clear on Harry Kane. There is a genuine fear that Kane could finally leave the north London club this summer, irrespective of whoever the club appoint as their next manager. The England striker is currently preparing for the upcoming Euro tournament, but his future at the north London club remains a key talking point. Both the Manchester clubs are heavily interested in signing Kane, with City being more proactive of the two. According to a recent report from The Sun, City are prepared to offer both Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus in a player(s)-plus-cash deal to sign Kane. However, the same publication has claimed that Levy has no interest in entertaining such offer, and that he wants only cash for Kane. The report ...
Report: Mourinho now wants to sign ‘consistent’ £80k-per-week Tottenham star
Jose Mourinho now turns his attention towards signing Lucas Moura. Ever since the Portuguese boss took charge of AS Roma after being told his services were no longer required at Tottenham, the Serie A club have been linked with a host of Spurs players. The likes of Eric Dier and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg have been linked with a move to Italy last month, while Hugo Lloris remains another target for Roma this summer. According to reports from Italian publication, Il Messaggero, the former Real Madrid boss is targeting Moura from Spurs as he looks to bolster his attacking options. Moura, who joined Spurs in 2018 from Paris Saint-Germain, hasn’t really established himself as one of the key players for the club. Back in August last year, Mourinho raved about Moura’s c...
Matt Doherty gives insight into why Tottenham sacked Jose Mourinho
Tottenham Hotspur’s players were partly responsible for Jose Mourinho’s sacking, according to right-back Matt Doherty. Mourinho was sacked by Spurs in April following a poor run of form with the club and after 17 months in charge. “He was only there for 18 months. If it was three or four years, it could be a different conversation, but we weren’t getting the results for him,” Doherty told Sky Sports. “The manager is always the one to lose his job, but as players, we were the ones on the pitch, and we weren’t able to get the results for him, which was a shame because he’s one of the best managers ever.” Spurs were seventh in the Premier League when Mourinho was sacked and had also been humiliated in the Europa League in the round of 16 by Croatian outfit Dinamo Zagreb. The 58-year-old faile...

Arsenal to rival Tottenham Hotspur for in-demand Ligue 1 star valued at just £13m
Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have expressed interest in signing Lille defender Zeki Celik, Standard Sport claims. Celik had a superb 2020/21 season with Lille as they won the Ligue 1 title after a decade. He has two years left on his contract, but it is reported that he is open to transfer offers. Lille value the right-back at £13 million. Inter Milan have also been linked amid the uncertainty over Achraf Hakimi’s future. Sportslens view: Among the English trio, United appear the least likely destination for Celik, given Aaron Wan-Bissaka is an undisputed starter under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Both Gunners and Spurs need a regular right-back, and they could go head-to-head to land the Turkey international this summer. The Gunners look certain to part ways with Hector ...
£100,000-a-week Chelsea star confirms Tottenham Hotspur were interested in signing him
Antonio Rudiger has acknowledged that he was serious about leaving Chelsea last summer amid interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain. The centre-back fell out-of-favour under then-manager Frank Lampard, and he was linked with a possible departure before the transfer deadline. However, a deal failed to materialise and Rudiger had no option but to stay with the Blues, where he has revived his career under current boss Thomas Tuchel. Speaking exclusively to Kicker, Rudiger said he was weighing up a move elsewhere as he needed playing time in the lead-up to the European Championships. He added that Les Parisiens and Spurs were interested in him, but the former were the most serious option. Ultimately, he ran out of time to make a decision. He said: “I was really about to leave. ...

Tottenham Hotspur are keen to sign Ugurcan Cakir. Spurs probably need to sign a goalkeeper this summer, with Hugo Lloris’s future uncertain as his contract expires in 2022.

According to reports from Fotomac, Trabzonspor want €20 million (£17m) for Cakir. Lille and Inter Milan are also interested in signing him.

Tottenham Hotspur ‘confident’ £76.5m-rated star will stay even if Harry Kane leaves the club
Tottenham Hotspur are confident that Heung-min Son will stay with the club even if Harry Kane heads for the exit door this summer, Football Insider reports. The north London giants had a disappointing 2020/21 campaign where they finished a lowly seventh in the Premier League standings. On top of this, they failed to win a trophy for another season. They have now gone 13 years without winning any form of major silverware. It has recently been reported that Harry Kane is assessing his options, and he has told the club that he would be leaving during the forthcoming transfer window. This has obviously led to question marks over Son’s future, but the club appear confident that the 28-year-old will stay with the club after holding talks. Sportslens view: Kane and Son were the standout perf...

Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur
BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction for Sunday’s Premier League clash between Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur at the King Power Stadium. The Foxes are no longer in control of their top-four destiny after the 2-1 league defeat at Chelsea in midweek, where they were second-best for most of the game. They face a must-win situation against Spurs in the final matchday tomorrow, but the result won’t be sufficient if Chelsea and Liverpool win their respective matches. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur also need to come up with the three points to ensure that they will be playing European football for another season. A victory could see them qualify for the Europa League, if sixth-placed West Ham United lose against Southampton at the London Stadium tomorrow. Otherwise, it...
