Report shares why manager Spurs want because of Kane will consider the job, talks held
England manager Gareth Southgate is thought to be flattered by Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in him, according to Standard Sport. However, he would only consider the role if he is sacked by the England FA following a disappointing European Championship campaign. Southgate currently has no plans to walk away from the Three Lions job to manage Spurs, but that could change after this summer. Chairman Daniel Levy is reportedly considering the 50-year-old for the job due to his relationship with star striker Harry Kane. The England international has huge respect for Southgate, and appointing him could help Tottenham retain his services. Spurs have also been linked with RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann and Ajax’s Erik ten Hag, but the duo are no longer available for the job. The German h...
Spurs set for major boost, 89-cap international close to signing a new deal
South Korean international Heung-min Son is expected to sign a new contract with Tottenham Hotspur. According to Daily Star, the attacker is close to an agreement with the Londoners. The 28-year-old has been in exceptional form, contributing 15 goals and nine assists in the Premier League this season. The 89-cap South Korean international is one of the best players at the club, and tying him down to a long term contract should be a top priority for chairman Daniel Levy. Son was heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid and Bayern Munich earlier in the season, but it seems that the player is prepared to stay with Spurs. The Premier League club are yet to appoint a long term replacement for Jose Mourinho, with three targets already ruled out of the running. Julian Nagelsman, Jesse Marsch and...
Report suggests 26-yr-old Aston Villa player will be told to find a new club this summer
Aston Villa are willing to cut their losses on Belgian defender Bjorn Engels. According to Football Insider, the West Midlands club will inform the defender that he is free to find a new club in the summer. Villa paid around £7 million for Engels in 2019 but they are unlikely to recoup their outlay as he has been a major disappointment at Villa Park. The defender has not featured in the Premier League this season, with Tyrone Mings and Ezri Konsa ahead of him in the pecking order. The 26-year-old has not played for Dean Smith’s side since the 4-0 defeat at Leicester City in March 2020 and a summer move appears to be on the cards. Reports in Belgium have linked Engels with a return to his home country, with Royal Antwerp and Club Brugge thought to hold an interest. Engels has three yea...

However, the Londoners are not prepared to abandon their pursuit, and they will be eager to convince Rodgers to change his mind.

UCL-winning German boss reportedly interested in becoming Tottenham next manager
Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick is thought to be interested in becoming Tottenham Hotspur’s next boss, despite being linked to the German national team job, according to The Telegraph. However, Spurs have not reciprocated the interest despite their desire to appoint a top-class replacement for Jose Mourinho. Their search has not gone smoothly to date, with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy thwarted in his attempts to replace the Portuguese. Levy wanted RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann to succeed Mourinho, but Bayern Munich pipped him to the 33-year-old. Spurs turned to Ajax Erik ten Hag, but the Eredivisie giants handed their manager a new contract until 2023 today. Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is also on Levy’s radar, but it will potentially cost around £70 million to recruit t...
Securing Champions League football will not impact Harry Kane’s decision to remain at Tottenham
Interim Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ryan Mason has insisted that failing to qualify for next season’s Champions League will not impact Harry Kane’s future. Addressing the media before his side’s Premier League clash against Sheffield United on Sunday, Mason was quizzed about the matter. He said: “I don’t think so. Harry Kane loves this football club. That’s been proven over the last seven or eight years. “He’s one of the best strikers in the world. Everyone knows that. We know that, and I’d like to think Harry knows that as well.” SL View: Are trophies required to justify Kane’s world-class status?

Tottenham keen on signing 23-yr-old but face competition from PL rivals
Juventus defender Merih Demiral has been linked with a move away from Italy this summer and the likes of Everton and Tottenham have been named as potential destinations. According to TuttoJuve, the two Premier League clubs are the main contenders to sign the 23-year-old centre back. Demiral has struggled to hold down a regular starting berth at Juventus due to niggling injuries this season. It will be interesting to see if the Italian giants are willing to sanction his departure in the summer. The Turkish defender is highly rated at the Italian club and he has a massive future ahead of him. Selling him now could prove to be a mistake for Juventus. He could form a long-term partnership at the back alongside Matthijs de Ligt. There is no doubt that the likes of Spurs and Everton could use a ...

‘I will try & take it’ – West Ham target admits he’ll leave his club ‘if that opportunity comes’
Brighton and Hove Albion defender Solly March has admitted that he is open to leaving his club if the chance to join a bigger club comes calling. The news could come as a huge transfer boost for West Ham United, who were linked with the 26-year-old last September and reportedly opened negotiations with the Seagulls over a potential transfer. However, that move did not work out and March remained at Brighton, featuring in their opening 21 Premier League fixtures of the campaign and weighing in with two goals and an assist. “I’ve never been close to leaving the club,” the Brighton wing-back told The Set Pieces. “But there are always aspirations to play for as big a club as you can.

Spurs reportedly make decision after learning managerial appointment could cost £70m
Tottenham Hotspur have ended their interest in Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers after learning appointing him could cost them £70 million, according to The Sun. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy was keen to have the former Liverpool boss succeed Jose Mourinho after Bayern Munich pipped him to RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann. While Rodgers publicly dismissed the prospect of becoming Tottenham’s next boss, Levy was confident of finally getting his man after trying to appoint him as Harry Redknapp’s successor in 2012. However, Leicester’s expected compensation demands of £20m have put him off. While Rodgers currently earns up to £10m a season at the King Power Stadium, Spurs would need to offer a four-year deal of £12.5m-per-year to have a chance of landing him. The north London gian...
West Ham could move for potential free agent this summer
West Ham could make a move for Everton forward Joshua King this summer, with his short-term due to expire at the end of the campaign. King signed for Everton on a short-term deal during the January transfer window but has hardly featured for the Toffees. The Norwegian attacker has made nine Premier League appearances but they only amount to 123 minutes of football, with King still waiting on his first Everton start. As a result, King’s future is in doubt, with Everton needing to make a decision over his future ahead of the summer. King will also be wary that he may not get much playing time if he remains at Everton, and could look elsewhere for minutes on the pitch. Now, West Ham could reportedly make a move for King this summer, according to TalkSPORT reporter Alex Crook. “West Ham have g...
