‘The lad is a beast’ – Some Spurs fans are excited about links with 25-yr-old ace
Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore in recent weeks by Daily Mail. The 25-year-old Spaniard is expected to move away from Molineux this summer and Leeds are thought to be keen on his services as well. Traore had a mediocre season with Wolves last year but there is no doubt that he has the potential to develop into one of the best attackers in the Premier League. Spurs could definitely use more depth and quality in the wide areas and they have already completed the signing of the Sevilla winger Bryan Gil. Nuno Espirito Santo could use more quality on the right flank and Traore seems like an ideal fit for them. The Spanish international will add pace, power and creativity to the Tottenham attack and he could complete their front ...

The 25-year-old joined Spurs from Ajax in the summer of 2017 for what was a club record £42 million fee at the time (BBC). Sanchez has never really hit the heights that were expected of him in north London, however. The Colombia international still seems very wet behind the ears.

Chelsea are looking at the prospect of loaning Ruben Loftus-Cheek to a Bundesliga club, a report from The Sun claims. Loftus-Cheek spent the previous season on loan with Fulham, registering 33 appearances across all competitions. The 25-year-old was far from his best, and it appears that the Blues are prepared to send him out on loan once more. The club have a preference for a Bundesliga outfit, but it is reported that the Saints are also keen on landing Loftus-Cheek. Sportslens view: Loftus-Cheek had a top season for the Blues in 2018/19, bagging 10 goals and five assists from 40 games across all competitions.

24-year-old on Postecoglou’s radar, Celtic target will decide future after the Olympics
Celtic have been linked with a move for Japanese defender Ko Itakura. According to Daily Record, the 24-year-old has put his future on hold to concentrate on his country’s participation in the Tokyo Olympics. Japan have made it to the semi-finals of the football tournament, and Itakura is unlikely to decide his future until after the Games. Celtic desperately need defensive reinforcements after a miserable start under newly appointed manager Ange Postecoglou. The Hoops have already signed Carl Starfelt, but they are keen to bring in another centre-back before the transfer window closes. Itakura can also operate as a central defensive midfielder, and his versatility would come in handy for the Scottish giants. The Manchester City defender was on loan in Holland last season and is unlikely t...

The 20-year-old was impressive on loan with Lincoln City last term, registering 13 goals and 14 assists from 48 appearances. Despite his efforts, the club failed to secure promotion from League One as they were beaten by Blackpool in the play-off final. The Bees recently failed with a £2m bid for the y...
