Hammers & Spurs dealt blow as chairman says 33-goal hitman is no longer for sale

Brentford striker Ivan Toney was linked with both West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month. However, Saturday’s Championship play-off victory for the Bees has dealt a blow to their chances of landing the hitman. The 25-year-old inspired his side to a 2-0 win over Swansea City, scoring from the spot to grab his 33rd goal of the campaign. Toney has also bagged 10 assists in 48 league games this term and has been touted as a potential replacement for Harry Kane at Spurs. Despite this, chairman Daniel Levy will have to look elsewhere if Kane leaves this summer following comments from his Brentford counterpart. The Bees’ co-director of football Rasmus Ankerson has told Sky Sports that earning promotion to the Premier League has ruled out any potential sale for their hitman. Hamm...

Guardiola reportedly wants to use two Man City attacking stars as bait to land Kane

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola wants to snap up Tottenham Hotspur hitman Harry Kane this summer, and is ready to sacrifice both Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus in a bid to do so, according to The Sun. The England international also wants to move to the Etihad Stadium and has revealed his dream to play alongside Kevin de Bruyne, but Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is ready to play hardball and block a move. He has slapped a £150million price tag on Kane’s head, but Man City are hoping to offset some of that fee by using two of their attackers as bait. Sterling ended the campaign with 15 goals across all competitions while Jesus bagged 14 goals as the Cityzens won the League Cup and Premier League title. Nevertheless, they are not starters under Guardiola and the Catalan is looking to ma...

‘Time to go elsewhere’ – Spurs star with ‘big dressing room influence’ open to summer exit

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Moussa Sissoko has admitted that a summer exit could be on the cards after losing his spot in the side’s starting XI. The Frenchman started 15 league games in 2020-21, coming off the bench 10 times. Sissoko featured in 15 games across other competitions, starting nine of them. However, he reckons his opportunities could be limited next term, and with just two years left on his current contract, the 31-year-old is open to an exit in the coming weeks if Spurs tell him to leave. “This is my 5th year at the club and I have had some very good moments,” Sissoko told Foot Mercato (via GFFN). “Now, I am a person who does not close any doors. If a new challenge presents itself, we will see what I do. But today, I do not close any doors concerning my future, because as I...

Report claims Mourinho wanted to sign 28-yr-old Champions League winner for Spurs

Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger’s future at the club is uncertain despite his contribution to their Champions League triumph at the weekend. The 28-year-old has just one year left on his current contract and the Blues are yet to open discussions regarding a new deal with the  German international. According to Daily Mirror, former Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho wanted to sign the player at the start of the season along with Paris Saint-Germain. Rudiger struggled for regular game time under the former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard and he was frozen out of the side during the first half of the season. The arrival of Thomas Tuchel allowed the German to resurrect his Chelsea career and he has been a key player for the Blues ever since. The 28-year-old produced an outstanding display aga...

10 goals in 16 games: Tottenham could move for 27-yr-old this summer

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for Napoli striker Arkadiusz Milik. According to Tuttosport (via Express), Juventus are also keen on signing the Polish forward, while Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are monitoring his situation. Marseille have an obligation to sign the player permanently in the summer. They may sign Milik and then cash in for a profit. However, it would be quite surprising given his impressive performances while on loan with the Ligue 1 side. Tottenham were heavily linked with Milik before his move to Marseille. There is no doubt the Londoners desperately need another quality striker who can support Harry Kane. Spurs are unlikely to sign Carlos Vinicius permanently this summer, and Milik would be the ideal second striker option for the Premier L...

Manager Hitchen wants Levy to appoint as Spurs boss reportedly asks to leave club

Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino has asked to leave Parc des Princes, according to Goal. Tottenham Hotspur want to bring back the Argentine just 18 months after showing him the exit door, and have already started talks over a return. However, they are not the only ones keen on Pochettino, with Real Madrid also looking to snap him up. The Spanish giants are without a manager after Zinedine Zidane walked away last week, and they believe the PSG boss could be the perfect man to succeed the Frenchman. Spurs technical performance director Steve Hitchen wants chairman Daniel Levy to go for Pochettino’s signature, with the players also said to be excited by the prospect of having him back. It remains to be seen whether PSG would grant the request of the 49-year-old, but Goal claim ...

Darren Bent: Arsenal need a manager ‘better’ than Mikel Arteta

Ex-Tottenham striker Darren Bent believes Arsenal need to appoint a ‘better’ manager than Mikel Arteta. The Gunners fan thinks his boyhood club should try and attract the likes of Zinedine Zidane, Mauricio Pochettino and Antonio Conte. Discussing the North London club on talkSPORT, Bent said: “I think we could get better if I’m honest. “I’m not quite sure about the Zidane appointment because he fell into a situation with the best players in the world and won three Champions Leagues. “Pochettino is never going to go to Arsenal because of his Spurs ties. “Conte is probably someone where you go, ‘Yeah, I wouldn’t mind him, but I think he’d end up taking a bigger job because he’s a top manager. read also:Arteta demands Arsenal improvement after missing out on Europe “He won the league in Engla...

PSG president: Super League didn’t have the interests of football at heart

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi says the Super League project was not in football’s best interests, insisting the Champions League must be protected. PSG were not among the 12 founding members of the competition, which pledged to break away from UEFA and compete with or replace the Champions League. The plan collapsed within days of its announcement, as football’s governing bodies and fan protests convinced nine clubs to pull out and Al-Khelaifi believes football is better off without the controversial idea. “Football has been around for years and years. The Super League did not have at heart to defend the interests of football,” he told AFP. “You can envisage changes but not break the tradition that every club can hope to achieve their dreams. “All teams must have the opp...

Tottenham are keen on £70m-rated attacker with 14 goals this season

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus. According to Daily Star, the interest from the London club could open up the possibility of a player plus cash deal involving Harry Kane. The 27-year-old England international is keen on a move away from Spurs and he has been linked with Manchester City in recent weeks. Apparently, Kane wants to play for a club that is capable of challenging for trophies every year and it will be interesting to see if the Londoners can convince him to stay beyond this summer. Jesus has done well at Manchester City and he could prove to be a quality addition to the Tottenham attack next season. The report from Daily Star adds that the Brazilian striker is valued at £70 million. The 24-year-old Brazilian has 14 goals and four as...

Spurs reportedly want Villa star to replace wantaway £150m man, he’s made Leeds admission

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing for the potential departure of Harry Kane this summer and have identified Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins as a possible replacement, according to The Sun. Southampton’s Danny Ings is also on their radar, but Spurs are hoping that reappointing manager Mauricio Pochettino could convince their striker to remain at North London for at least one more season. Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea all want Kane, but Tottenham value him at around £150 million, and whether any of them will be keen to meet that price is debatable. Watkins was on their radar last summer, but he moved to Villa from Brentford instead and has since proven himself in the Premier League, scoring 14 goals and weighing in with five assists in 37 games. The 25-year-old has become an...
