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. The 34-year-old is yet to pen a new deal and Spurs must start planning for the future, with or without Lloris. Spurs have already seen one of their prime targets – Mike Maignan – move to AC Milan, while another goalkeeping target – Gregor Kobel – is set to join Borussia Dortmund in the next few days. According to reports from Fotomac, Trabzonspor want €20 million (£17m) for Cakir. Lille and Inter Milan are also interested in signing him. The report claims that Spurs have held talks with the player’s agent over a potential move this summer. Trabzonspor will listen to offe...
Real Madrid have identified Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino as a perfect long-term replacement for Zinedine Zidane. After months of speculation, Zidane decided to call time on his second stint in Madrid on Thursday, leaving a vacancy only a handful of managers can fill. One of them is Pochettino, who has experienced a rather torrid six-month spell in Paris after replacing Thomas Tuchel in January. PSG sacked the German tactician in the midst of the side’s rough patch and opted for the ex-Tottenham boss to take over the reins at the Parc des Princes. However, the move has not worked out as expected, with Les Parisiens suffering a heartbreaking Champions League exit to Manchester City in the semi-finals. Paris’ underwhelming campaign culminated with a domestic heartache as Lille...
Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino has been linked with a sensational return to Tottenham Hotspur in recent hours, with the Argentine even spotted in London. It is believed Spurs have held talks with their former boss as they search for Jose Mourinho’s replacement. However, it does not seem PSG are entertaining the idea of letting him go after just five months in charge of the club. Pochettino joined the French giants in January as Thomas Tuchel’s successor and has since won the French Super Cup and Coupe de France. He is reportedly open to returning to Tottenham but has also been linked with the Real Madrid vacant managerial post after Zinedine Zidane left the job this morning. Spanish football expert Guillem Balague does not see him leaving PSG anytime soon, though, taking t...
In-demand West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Sam Johnstone has put his future into the club’s hands (as related to iNews) amidst growing interest from West Ham United and Tottenham. The 28-year-old keeper has been a rare shining light in West Brom’s dreadful Premier League campaign. Even though the Baggies suffered relegation from the top flight and conceded a staggering 76 goals, the Englishman has enjoyed a stunning individual season. Johnstone has benefitted from playing behind one of the worst defences in Europe’s top-five divisions, making over 150 saves to catch the eye of several Premier League clubs. An array of magical moments includes a fantastic save to thwart James Ward-Prowse’s spot-kick in a 3-0 win over Southampton in mid-April. His impressive displays for the West Midlands out...
Tottenham Hotspur legend Jurgen Klinsmann has sent a message to chairman Daniel Levy, admitting he is open to becoming the club’s next permanent manager. Spurs are looking for a boss to succeed Jose Mourinho, but they have been turned down by Julian Nagelsmann and Hansi Flick who have both opted for better jobs. Brighton & Hove Albion manager Graham Potter and his Leicester City counterpart Brendan Rodgers have publicly insisted they are not keen on replacing Mourinho. Levy will be frustrated with how his managerial search is going, but Klinsmann has confessed to being available to a return to his former club as a boss. “Definitely you’d entertain it, no doubt,” the former Germany manager told Sky Sports when asked if it would interest him to help out if the call came from Tottenham. “...
Everton and Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Lille defender Zeki Celik this summer. According to L’Equipe, the 24-year-old has been on the two English clubs’ radar since the 2018/19 season. Celik joined Lille from Istanbulspor in 2018 and has since made more than 100 appearances for the French club. Everton and Spurs are interested in securing the player’s services, while Roma have also been monitoring his progress. SL View: Celik would sort out a major weakness for both clubs Both English clubs could definitely use a quality right-back, and Celik has been impressive for the French outfit in their title-winning campaign. Everton need to find a long term replacement for Seamus Coleman, while Tottenham must find upgrades on Serge Aurier and Matt Doherty. The defender has contribute...
Tottenham Hotspur reportedly want Italian manager Antonio Conte, with La Stampa claiming they have offered him a €20 million-a-year deal. The 51-year-old is said to have been promised quality recruitment if he joins Spurs, and he has now resigned as Inter Milan manager, according to Italian journalist Alfio Musmarra.

Tottenham Hotspur under-23s manager Ryan Mason was appointed as the first-team manager on an interim basis following the departure of Jose Mourinho last month. The 29-year-old kicked off his stint in the dugout with a 2-1 win over Southampton, but could not help Spurs end their 13-year trophy drought, with Manchester City narrowly pipping his side to the FA Cup title four days later. Tottenham lost two and won three of their next five games under Mason, clinching seventh place in the Premier League to qualify for the Europa Conference League. The North Londoners are looking to bring in a permanent manager this summer, and the 29-year-old has ended his role as interim boss. Mason is proud to have been in charge of his childhood club for a little over a month, and has taken to Twitter to mes...
Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for 24-year-old Danish international Joachim Andersen in recent weeks. According to Jack Pitt Brooke from the Athletic, the defender has now chosen Spurs as the club he wants to join this summer. Andersen has been outstanding for Fulham during his loan spell in the Premier League, and his parent club Lyon are willing to cash in on him. It was previously reported that the defender would cost around £25 million, and it is unclear whether Spurs are willing to pay that much. Andersen has proven his quality with a struggling Fulham side this season, and there is no doubt that he would be a quality long term addition to Tottenham’ defence. With Davinson Sanchez expected to leave the club and Toby Alderweireld on the decline, the Londoners must look ...
It seems Tottenham Hotspur are ready to break the bank in order to lure Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte to N17. According to La Stampa, Spurs are behind the possible divorce between the Italian boss and the Serie A winners, and are offering a deal that is worth up to €20 million per year in wages. Real Madrid are also keen on Conte with Zinedine Zidane linked with an exit, but Tottenham are favourites in the race for the former Chelsea manager. La Stampa claims Spurs represent the most attractive offer as they are eyeing major recruitment which could be funded by their £140m TV rights money. The 51-year-old is said to be interested in the prospect of helping Tottenham return to their position as a top-four team in the Premier League.
