Spurs reportedly want 29-goal Englishman NUFC sold for £300k to replace striker
Tottenham Hotspur are keen on Brentford striker Ivan Toney and have joined the race for his signature ahead of the summer transfer window, according to Football Insider. Spurs want another striker as they are not looking to sign loanee Carlos Vinicius permanently. The Benfica man has scored 10 goals and assisted three more in 22 games across all competitions, but he has not impressed Tottenham having scored just once in nine Premier League appearances.

The 25-year-old has bagged 29 goals and weighed in with 10 assists in 43 Championship appearances this term. The former Newcastle United striker scored 40 goals in 76 League One games for Peterborough United in two seasons b...

Ex-Spurs star who dubbed Kane world’s best No9 reportedly favourite to replace Mourinho
According to Football Insider, Fulham manager Scott Parker has emerged as the favourite to become Tottenham Hotspur’s next manager in recent hours. The North Londoners have found getting a replacement for Jose Mourinho hard, with three of their targets turning them down within the space of a week. Ajax boss Erik ten Hag signed a contract extension with the Eredivisie side yesterday, while Leicester City’s Brendan Rodgers has insisted that he is not keen on the job. It would take around £70 million to recruit the Northern Irishman and his backroom staff, and that has also put Spurs off.

Leicester City could compete with Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers to sign Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham this summer, Football Insider reports. Abraham has had another good campaign with the Blues, registering 12 goals and six assists from 31 appearances in all competitions.
