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.

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.

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.

SL View: Spurs will strike gold if they can land £40m Everton target this summer
Could this be the year? It has to be this year. Has there been any transfer window in recent memory where Wilfried Zaha didn’t want to leave Crystal Palace? How many times in the last few years have we seen clubs queuing up for Zaha, only to walk back after knowing his price tag? Zaha is the talisman figure for the Eagles, but maybe he has outgrown himself. He needs a fresh challenge, and Palace need a fresh direction as well. Two summers ago, he was valued at around £100m, but now he could be available at a reasonable £40m. According to reports from The Times, Zaha has told Crystal Palace he wants to leave. He wants to quit Selhurst Park in the summer and preferably wants a move away before the Eagles return for pre-season training next month. According to a recent re...
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...

Antonio Conte unconvinced by Tottenham project
Antonio Conte has major doubts about becoming Tottenham’s next head coach and is inclined to turn them down, according to Sky Italy. Spurs have been in talks with the former Chelsea boss, who left Inter Milan after winning Serie A last month. But after considering the role for several days, Conte remains unconvinced Spurs are a team ready to win trophies immediately.

Antonio Conte reportedly concerned about Tottenham’s ambition
Talks between Tottenham Hotspur and Antonio Conte have hit a stumbling block as the Italian is concerned about the club’s ambition, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.

Conte has concerns about the budget he will be handed to rebuild Spurs this summer, which could scupper their chances of appointing him. Transforming Spurs into a team that could challenge for the Premier League title could take three or four years, and Conte isn’t renowned for his patience. He is considered to be among t...
