Everton and Tottenham among the three Premier League clubs chasing 26-goal ace
Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and West Ham United have been linked with a move for Benfica striker Haris Seferovic in recent weeks. According to A Bola (via Sport Witness), all three Premier League clubs remain keen on signing the 29-year-old who had an outstanding 2020/21 season. Seferovic bagged 26 goals and seven assists across all competitions for the Portuguese giants last term. He was also impressive in the European Championships, scoring three goals for Switzerland during the tournament. It is no secret that Everton must bring in someone to support Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Seferovic seems like an ideal fit. West Ham also need attacking reinforcements, with the club heavily reliant on Michail Antonio last season. The Hammers forward is not a natural striker, and his injury record ...
Report confirms West Ham offer for 28-yr-old, Spurs keen on the player as well
West Ham United have submitted a bid for the West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Sam Johnstone. According to The Athletic, the Hammers wants to sign the 28-year-old as a potential replacement for Lukasz Fabianski but the Baggies have turned the offer down. Apparently, West Brom are looking for a fee in excess of £10 million for the goalkeeper and Tottenham Hotspur are currently monitoring his situation as well. Spurs will need to sign a quality long-term replacement for Hugo Lloris soon and Johnstone is thought to be on their wish list. West Brom have been relegated to the Championship and a player of Johnstone’s calibre will want to play in the Premier League regularly. It is fair to assume that the 28-year-old will be keen on a move away from the Baggies this summer. He needs to play regular...

The player is expected to cost around £15 million-plus add ons.

Tottenham Hotspur revive interest 26-year-old title winner
Tottenham Hotspur have revived their interest in Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar. As per Italian outlet Calciomercato, Spurs are looking to bolster their defence by bringing the Slovakian centre-back to London. They have been keeping tabs on the 26-year-old for a while now, and after a failed attempt to land him last summer, the club will test the waters again. One of the key factors this time around is the new director of football Fabio Paratici. The Italian is a keen admirer of the player and wanted him at Juventus. However, Skriniar wants to remain with Inter. He is determined to succeed in Milan, which was evident after signing a new contract until 2023. After being sidelined by Antonio Conte, he forced his way back into the first team with some consistent performances. The Nerazzu...

According to Gianluca di Marzio, the Premier League club have now reached an agreement with the Spanish outfit regarding the French international. They are expected to pay €30 million along with Davinson Sanchez for the defender and Kounde is now currently considering the offer.

Jules Kounde is regarded as one of the most exciting young defenders around Europe right now and he could prove to be a quality long term addition for Tottenham. The Londoners were vulnerable at the back last season...

The 22-year-old can operate as a full-back as well as a centre back and his versatility could come in handy during injury problems and rotation. The Londoners were quite vu...
Tottenham want England international to partner Harry Kane up front
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Danny Ings from Southampton, reports the Telegraph. Ings moved to Southampton following an injury-hit stint with Liverpool in 2018, initially on loan before making the move permanent a year later. His spell on the south coast has been a success, scoring 46 goals in 100 appearances and finishing as runner-up in the Premier League Golden Boot race in the 2019/20 season. Ings has been a hit at St Mary’s Earlier this month, the former Burnley man was offered a new four-year contract at the Saints, which would have made him the highest paid player in the club’s history. However, he rejected the offer, reportedly seeking a move to a team higher up the table. Ings has just one year remaining on his current deal, leaving him potentially available on the ...

Tottenham Hotspur were linked with a move for the Colombian international Luis Diaz earlier this month. Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha are now reporting that Inter Milan, AC Milan and Roma are keeping tabs on the highly-rated winger as well. Diaz had an excellent season with Porto last year and he carried that form into Copa America as well. The 24-year-old scored a total of four goals in the South American tournament and he managed to produce goal-scoring displays against the finalists Argentina and Brazil. Apparently, the attacker has a release clause of €80 million and he has a contract with the Portuguese outfit until the summer of 2024. It is evident that Porto are under no pressure to sell him this summer and his suitors will have to agree to the Portuguese club’s asking price...

According to La Nazione (via Inside Futbol), Spurs have made a concrete enquiry for the center back but their offer was considered unacceptable by the Italian club. The report further states that Tottenham could return with another proposal towards the end of this month. It is no secret that Nuno Espirito Santo will have to improve his defensive options this summer especially if the likes of Davinson Sanchez and Toby Alderweireld decide to move on. The defence was a major concern for the Londoners last season and a signing like Milenkovic could certainly he...

Messi miles ahead of Bayern and Chelsea stars in Ballon D’Or race
The 2020/21 season has officially come to a close, and it’s around this time when we start to speculate about our award winners. The Ballon d’Or is the most high profile individual award in the game, recognising the world’s best player from the past 12 months. With the season over, we’re now looking at our potential winners. Two months ago, we compiled a list of the leading candidates for the prize. Since then, we’ve had a Champions League final and a summer of international football. Some of the list has aged well. Other parts….not so much (whose idea was it to give Antoine Griezmann an honourable mention?). Anyway, two months on, and we now have a clearer picture of who our 2021 Ballon d’Or winner could be. Lionel Messi The Copa America has tipped the balance in Messi’s favour As things ...
38-cap Int’l set for showdown talks regarding his future, Spurs and Arsenal keen
Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are keeping tabs on the situation of the Real Madrid midfielder Isco Alarcon. The 29-year-old playmaker has fallen down the pecking order at the Spanish club and needs to leave to play regularly. According to Daily Mirror, Isco is set to hold crunch talks with newly appointed manager Carlo Ancelotti regarding his future and is open to moving abroad this summer. AC Milan are also keen on the player and are waiting to see how his meeting with Ancelotti unfolds. Isco has just 12 months left on his current deal, and Madrid will probably feel that they should cash in on him instead of losing him on a free transfer next year. Tottenham and Arsenal desperately need a quality playmaker, and the 38-cap Spanish international could prove to be a smart addition. Spurs hav...
