Report claims how much Levy would demand for Tottenham man if he decides to leave
According to The Times, Tottenham Hotspur would demand a fee in the region of £200 million for Harry Kane if he decides to leave the club. Kane previously stated that he would seek to leave if he feels that Spurs are not making enough progress. The England striker has stated his desire to win trophies, and lifting the Carabao Cup (if Spurs win it) won’t be enough. The 27-year-old striker has a contract at the club until 2024, and Daniel Levy is under no pressure to sell. He has no release clause in his contract, and Spurs have not put a valuation on his head. However, Spurs are aware of interest from several heavyweight clubs for Kane. In case they make an approach, Spurs would demand a fee in the region of £200m. In the present economic climate, very few clubs can afford to...
‘Maybe a will from his side’: David Ornstein delivers transfer verdict on Tottenham man
David Ornstein of The Athletic has told Sky Sports that he doesn’t think Harry Kane will leave Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window. Several pundits like Peter Crouch have claimed that Kane could leave the club in the summer if Tottenham fail to clinch a top-four spot in the Premier League, suggesting that the England striker may not want to stay around and play in the Europa League. Ornstein has claimed that Kane, who is a talisman figure at the club, has said publicly that he wants to win trophies. At the same time, he doesn’t want to tarnish his reputation by agitating for a move. Kane has a contract at the club until 2024, and Spurs’ chairman Daniel Levy will not even consider an offer below £120 million. The Times reported yesterday that Levy would demand a fee in the ...
‘The numbers can’t be wild’: Phil Hay makes exciting Leeds summer transfer claim

Euro club reportedly keen for 24-year-old Liverpool player this summer
Serie A giants Napoli are reportedly interested in signing Liverpool left-back Kostas Tsimikas in the summer. The 24-year-old joined Liverpool last summer from Olympiakos for a reported £11.8 million fee. The Greece international has struggled badly in his first season at the club, managing just one substitute appearance in the Premier League and clocking five minutes of action. It is fair to say that things haven’t gone according to plan for him, although he missed several games through injury and coronavirus. Although he has made four appearances in the Champions League, his Liverpool career hasn’t taken off yet. According to reports from Il Napoli Online, Napoli are likely to revive their interest in the defender, and they feel they could tempt him with a regular gam...

The Gunners are reportedly admirers of the midfielder, and they have already made contact with the player’s representative over a possible transfer. They have a good chance of signing with Bissouma being a boyhood fan of the club, but Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers hopes to lure him with Champions League football. The Midlands outfit are currently th...

The Netherlands international has been with the Reds for the past four-and-a-half seasons, where he has accumulated 22 goals and 16 assists from 228 appearances.

Former PL ace reckons 25-yr-old will ‘be looking to leave Liverpool in the summer’
Former Premier League striker Gabriel Agbonlahor reckons that Ben Davies could leave Liverpool in the summer and Scottish giants Celtic will be monitoring this situation. According to the former Villa striker, Liverpool’s decision to sign the 25-year-old centre back seems strange because they have not given him the opportunity to showcase his talent with the first team so far. Agbonlahor said to Football Insider: “It’s just a strange situation. To be brought in and basically have your career put on hold. You’re not playing or even being brought on. It’s very strange from Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp. “If he wasn’t good enough, why buy him? “It’s a very, very strange transfer and I’m sure he’ll be looking to leave Liverpool in the summer and go somewhere where he can play week in, w...

Manchester United Eric Bailly is prepared to snub a contract extension with the Red Devils after being left out of the second leg of the Europa League last 16 tie against AC Milan, The Sun reports. The Ivorian has played second fiddle to Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire for the central defensive duties in the Premier League but has regularly started ahead of the former in the Europa League this year.

Bailly has missed several games in the past for United with niggles, and it is reported that the Ivorian rejects the allegations that he is ‘injury prone’ and ‘regularly’ breaks do...
Report suggests Tottenham’s massive transfer plans…but there’s a big problem
The upcoming summer transfer window is going to be very crucial for Tottenham Hotspur. After the shock Europa League exit this week, Tottenham’s season now rests on where they finish in the Premier League. If they miss out on top-four yet again, Daniel Levy is likely to sack Jose Mourinho. Spurs have been badly hit financially by the pandemic, and the cost of sacking Mourinho, who has two years left on his contract, worth up to £15 million a season, will be very expensive. According to a report from The Times, Spurs predict that their losses may exceed £200m before June. However, Spurs need to invest heavily in the squad and backing Mourinho could be equally expensive. The report claims that Spurs need at least six players – two full-backs, a centre back, a holding midfielder, a ...

‘Very dangerous’: Bielsa raves about Leeds player; drops hint about summer transfer plans
Marcelo Bielsa has dropped a hint that he may not look to sign a new striker in the summer transfer window. Leeds United have been heavily reliant on Patrick Bamford, and there are suggestions that Bielsa should look to add more quality in the forward department.
