The versatile Mendez, who can operate as a number eight, a number ten or wide on the right, has had a fantastic start to the new season, with five goals and six assists across all competitions so far (Transfermarkt).

According to Fichajes, the 26-year-old’s performances have caught the attention of Tottenham, who have been ‘closely monitoring’ the player recently.

Spurs are impressed by Brais Mendez

The report states that the Lilywhites have been impressed by the Spain international’s ‘remarkable’ showings at Reale Arena and that Ange Postecoglou has given the green light to bring the attacker to N17.

The publication asserts that Spurs are currently in the ‘planning phase’ to present a ‘tempting proposal’ to Real Sociedad for Mendez as soon as the transfer window opens on January 1.

It is alleged that the 26-year-old could be tempted to try his luck in the Premier League if Tottenham come calling.

Spurs Web Opinion

Tottenham’s rumoured interest in Mendez and Bayer Leverkusen’s s Florian Wirtz suggests that Postecoglou wants to sign a versatile attacker, who can operate through the middle or on the flanks.

That could potentially mean that the club are planning to offload Giovani Lo Celso in January, which would leave them without any natural cover for James Maddison in the number 10 role.

The report states that Spurs are looking for reinforcements in the middle of the park in January as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is expected to depart the club.

It is alleged that Merino is one of the names on the club’s radar, with the midfielder’s versatility and technical quality appealing to Ange Postecoglou.

Spurs looking at Mikel Merino as midfield signing

The 27-year-old, who previously had a brief spell in English football with Newcastle United, has gone from strength to strength over the last couple of years, having featured regularly for the Spanish national team.

The report claims Sociedad are expected to fight hard to keep Merino at the Reale Arena despite his contract with the club only having a little over 18 months left to run.

It is alleged that Tottenham could prize the player away if they are willing to put an offer of €50m (£43.2m) on the table.

Spurs Web Opinion

While Hojbjerg looks likely to leave, Postecoglou will also be without Bissouma and Sarr for a couple of weeks in January due to AFCON.

So, even if Bentancur quickly returns to full fitness swiftly, Spurs will be short of options in the middle of the park and have no choice but to enter the market for a midfielder.

Gil is yet to feature for Spurs under Ange Postecoglou, having been out with a groin injury since the start of pre-season but the winger took to social media a couple of days ago to confirm that he is close to full fitness.

It remains to be seen whether the 22-year-old will force himself into Postecoglou’s plans but it has now been reported in Spain that he is likely to be on his way out of the club when the transfer window reopens.

Two La Liga clubs eyeing moves for Spurs’ Bryan Gil

Fichajes.net claim that the Australian coach ‘does not count’ on Gil and Spurs have decided to offload the winger in January. The player is said to be on the radars of Sociedad and Valencia, who are both in need of reinforcements in the wide areas.

It is explained that Sociedad are plotting a move for the Tottenham man if Real Madrid exercise their option to buy back Take Kubo while Valencia want the Spain international to fill the void left by Samu Lino’s departure to Atletico Madrid in the summer.

The publication adds that both clubs will explore an initial loan deal for Gil with an option to make it permanent next summer.

Spurs Web Opinion

I initially did not expect Gil to get any game time at Spurs until January but Ivan Perisic’s ACL injury might offer the Spaniard a lifeline. I can now see the 22-year-old getting some minutes as an impact sub and if he does, it would be up to him to impress Postecoglou.

The report states that Spurs are already plotting potential January additions despite the summer transfer window only closing a couple of weeks ago.

Tottenham are looking at midfielder Mikel Merino

It is explained that the club view the central midfielder area as being a crucial one to strengthen, particularly since Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Giovani Lo Celso could leave.

Fichajes allege that Tottenham have identified Merino as a potential target, with the midfielder standing out among the various profiles they have studied.

It is said that the 27-year-old is viewed as an ideal fit for Ange Postecoglou’s system, owing to his ability to recover balls, his vision of and the quality of his distribution, with the North London club said to view him as a ‘complete midfielder’.

The publication reveals that Merino’s current release clause stands at €60m (£51.6m) and that Sociedad are attempting to tie him down to a new contract.

Finally, the report adds that while Tottenham see the Spain international’s availability as a ‘golden opportunity’, the Lilywhites are likely to face ‘intense’ competition for his services.

Spurs Web Opinion

There is no doubt that Hojbjerg will leave in January, with the Dane seemingly being keen to do so during the summer. However, whether or not Spurs prioritise signing another midfielder could depend on Bentancur’s recovery and how well the Uruguayan does when he returns. 

The post Report: Spurs are eyeing January move for £52m-rated midfielder  appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

It has been widely reported over the last couple of weeks that Spurs are prioritising moving players on to make space for potential new signings, with Reguilon being one of several players who is expected to depart the club (Evening Standard).

A couple of days ago, Ben Jacobs said on the Last Word on Spurs podcast (starting at 49:40) that the Spaniard is expected to seal a move to Sociedad before the transfer deadline.

The journalist stated that the Spanish side viewed the Tottenham man as a ‘high priority’ and added that there was a ‘high likelihood’ the 26-year-old would head to the Reale Arena on a season-long loan deal.

Sociedad set to sign Tierney instead of Reguilon

However, Reguilon’s move to Sociedad is now dead in the water as Sky Sports Football Daily have reported that the La Liga side are on set to sign another left-back in the form of Tierney.

The outlet claimed that La Real have struck a deal with Arsenal to sign the Scott on a season-long loan deal. Fabrizio Romano then confirmed that Spurs’ Reguilon exit had collapsed.

Spurs Web Opinion

This takes Tottenham back to square one in their efforts to find a new club for the Spaniard. However, a couple of other La Liga sides would surely be willing to take a punt on the Spurs star on loan over the coming days.

The post Another blow for Spurs as loan deal collapses after ‘long negotiations’ – Fabrizio Romano reports appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Although Reguilon did get minutes during pre-season, it has always seemed likely that he would be offloaded this summer despite the injury to Ryan Sessegnon, with both Destiny Udogie and Ben Davies ahead of the Spaniard in the pecking order.

Several sources, including Fabrizio Romano, have revealed over the last few weeks that Sociedad are eyeing a move for the 26-year-old.

Deal likely to go through for Sergio Reguilon

Jacobs has now revealed that Sociedad remain interested in Reguilon and have identified him as a ‘high priority’ before the transfer window closes.

The La Liga club are allegedly looking to sign the former Real Madrid man on loan with an option to buy. Jacobs asserts that while Tottenham were initially looking to agree on an obligation to buy, they are comfortable with giving Sociedad an option.

The journalist states that as thing stands, there is a ‘high likelihood’ that the deal will go through but he adds that Reguilon is also attracting interest from other Spanish sides and from France.

Spurs Web Opinion

While Reguilon is evidently not good enough for a club with top-four aspirations, he is certainly a decent player and can prove a valuable asset for Sociedad if he stays injury-free next season.

So there is a good chance that the La Liga side could exercise the option to buy the 26-year-old next summer as long he proves his fitness.

While Reguilon enjoyed a consistent run in the Tottenham Hotspur starting lineup when he first arrived in North London back in 2020, he has been pushed further and further to the fringes of the Spurs squad over the last 12 months.

A loan spell with Atletico Madrid last season was heavily impacted by injury, leaving Reguilon to play just 317 minutes of football across 12 appearances for the La Liga outfit (Transfermarkt).

Reguilon has been back in the Spurs squad this summer and featured in pre-season under new boss Ange Postecoglou, but it is widely believed the Spaniard is one of the players deemed surplus to requirements by the Australian (The Athletic).

Real Sociedad may turn to Reguilon this summer

It has already been reported that Real Sociedad are keen on Reguilon (Fabrizio Romano), but now it appears the Spurs defender has jumped up their list of targets.

According to a new report from Relevo, Sociedad were initially hoping to sign Kieran Tierney from Arsenal. However, the ACL injury suffered by new signing Jurrien Timber in the opening game of the season has left Mikel Arteta reluctant to let the Scotsman leave the club.

This development has forced Sociedad to look at “other options” and it seems Reguilon is right up there for the Spanish outfit.

The report claims an “agreement between the parties is practically complete” and that Sociedad are keen for a loan deal with a purchase option.

All that is left, is to negotiate this with Tottenham, but it is suggested that getting a “green light” from Daniel Levy may not be “easy.”

Spurs Web Opinion

There is no doubt that Sergio Reguilon is ready to leave Spurs, but the club more than likely wants to sell him outright rather than messing about with another loan move.

There don’t seem to be many clubs lining up to sign Reguilon, however, so if we can get a purchase obligation on the loan deal, the switch should happen.

The report states that Sociedad’s top target is Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek, but there are some hiccups in the negotiations for the Dutchman.

This is because the Spanish club want to sign the player on loan with an option to buy while the Red Devils are insisting on a mandatory purchase option, which is why Sociedad have now turned their attention to Lo Celso.

Real Sociedad have spoken to Lo Celso’s father

The outlet claims that Sociedad have ‘asked’ about the Argentine’s availability and have even had a meeting with the player’s father in Valencia.

While the details of what was discussed during the meeting are not provided, it is revealed that the club have not made any progress over a potential deal for the 27-year-old, who has played a prominent part in Tottenham’s pre-season.

Spurs Web Opinion

From Lo Celso’s body language and the intent he has shown in pre-season, it is clear that the midfielder wants to stay at Tottenham and fight for his place. If that is indeed the case, I do not see Postecolgou letting him go this summer.

It is claimed that the club’s interest in the Spurs star ‘has never stopped’, with the La Liga side making their first contact with the North London club over the player back in June.

Since then, Sociedad are thought to have also explored deals for Manchester City’s Sergio Gomez and Paris Saint-Germain’s Juan Bernat.

Real Sociedad are making progress on Reguilon deal

However, it is explained that the club have reactivated contacts with Tottenham over Reguilon and there are now ‘signs of [the deal] prospering’ for the former Real Madrid man.

The report adds that there is some optimism regarding the deal following the ‘new contacts’ between the two clubs but is not revealed if Sociedad want to sign the 26-year-old on loan or permanently.

Spurs Web Opinion

Ben Davies and Destiny Udogie are likely to battle it out for the left-back spot this season, which likely means that Reguilon is surplus to requirements. 

I do not think Ryan Sessegnon’s injury will change Tottenham’s plans for the Spaniard but the club would probably have to loan him out again as not a lot of clubs in La Liga have the financial means to pay a suitable transfer fee for the 26-year-old.

The post Report: Signs that progress is being made as Spurs look to offload fullback appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

The left-back, signed from Real Madrid back in 2020 had found himself out of favour at Spurs over the last year having been frozen out under former boss Antonio Conte.

The Spaniard spent the 2022/23 campaign on loan at Atletico Madrid, but injury issues meant Reguilón could only turn out for the La Liga side on 12 occasions, amassing just 317 minutes of game time (Transfermarkt).

With his loan spell now over, Reguilón is now back in North London. Or, more specifically, the 26-year-old has been with the rest of the Spurs squad on their Asia-Pacific pre-season tour as part of the  preparation for the new campaign.

Tottenham boss, Ange Postecoglou has been assessing a large volume of his playing squad and has given Reguilón a chance on the pitch in the two games so far. However, it is widely believed he will not remain at the club beyond this summer (The Athletic).

Real Sociedad want Sergio Reguilón

If Reguilón is to be moved on during the current transfer window, there is a good chance he will end up back in La Liga, this time with Real Sociedad.

That is according to Fabrizio Romano, who provided an update on the Spurs defender on Twitter, suggesting there could be a switch to Spain on the horizon for Reguilón.

He wrote: “Real Sociedad have genuine interest in Sergio Reguilón, he’s one of the options as new left back. Deal not advanced yet with Tottenham — early stages, as of now.”

Spurs Web Opinion

A move to Spain just makes sense for Reguilón. He can have a fresh start in his home nation and hopefully rebuild his reputation a little bit.

He is definitely surplus to requirements at Spurs and we should move him on as soon as possible so we can use the funds to add new players to the squad.

He still has defensive frailties to his game as witnessed with his defending which led to West Ham scoring in the match in Perth, instead, Destiny Udogie needs to be given the chance to make the left-back slot his own.

Despite his struggles at Atletico, Fichajes state that he is seen as an ‘interesting option’ by Real Sociedad, who are said to be keen on strengthening at left-back ahead of their foray into the Champions League.

The report reveals that the Spain international is the club’s top target for the role, with the player said to be looking for a new destination in La Liga since he is no longer in Tottenham’s plans.

The publication adds that should Sociedad fail with a move for the 26-year-old, they could turn their attention to either Celta’s Javi Galan or Bayern Munich‘s Daley Blind.

Fichajes do not mention whether the La Liga club would look to sign Reguilon on loan or a permeant deal.

Spurs Web Opinion

Given the various injury problems that Reguilon has had over the last 18 months, I do not think any club would be prepared to pay a transfer fee for the left-back this summer.

So, Tottenham would likely have no choice but to loan out the 26-year-old again next season.

Jacobs has now suggested that Zubimendi, who has evolved into one of La Liga’s most consistent midfielders over the last two years, is one of the names on the Lilywhites’ radar.

The 24-year-old’s impressive displays in the middle of the park are one of the main reasons why Real Sociedad currently sit third in the La Liga table behind Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Fabrizio Romano revealed on his YouTube channel last week that Arsenal considered triggering the midfielder’s €60m (£53.2m) release clause towards the end of the January window before snapping up Jorginho from Chelsea.

Jacobs has now revealed that Spurs, Barcelona and Manchester United are all considering a move for Zubimendi in the summer.

He told CaughtOffside: “Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi will draw plenty of summer interest, too. He’s so calm on the ball and an intelligent defender, who also wins his fair share of aerial duels and second balls.

“Suitors in January were told to pay Zubimendi’s €60m release clause or no deal would be done. And the player himself wasn’t really pushing for a move.

“He only signed a new five-year deal at the club in October. But a transfer is very possible come summer, especially considering Zubimendi wasn’t willing to have his release clause raised. That makes him attainable on the market.

“Barcelona coach Xavi also admires Zubimendi, though it remains to be seen if the finances are workable to proceed. Keep an eye on Tottenham and Manchester United as well.”

Spurs Web Opinion

One would expect Spurs to spend the majority of their summer transfer budget to strengthen the central midfield and centre-back areas. 

Zubimendi certainly has the attributes to play in a two-man midfield in Conte’s preferred 3-4-3 formation and the existence of a release clause makes the deal a relatively uncomplicated one to pursue.

Over recent weeks, multiple Spanish publications have reported that a loan move to a La Liga is on the cards for Gil in January.

(Photo by James Williamson – AMA/Getty Images)

The print edition of AS (01/12/22 – as relayed by Sport Witness) claimed at the start of this month that Valencia are plotting to re-sign the winger on loan in January after his successful spell at the Mestalla last season.

Mucho Deporte claimed earlier this week that another of Gil’s former clubs in Sevilla are also considering a move for the 21-year-old, although the Spurs man is not seen by the club as a priority signing.

Estadio Deportivo have now reported that the two aforementioned clubs have been joined by Cadiz, who already explored a move for the Spain international 12 months ago and are now ready to offer the attacker another route to La Liga.

The report adds that Real Sociedad also sounded out the Tottenham attacker about a potential loan move several weeks ago.

It is explained that the winger is keen to return to Spain again in January and wants to join a club where he will be handed a ‘leading role’.

Spurs Web Opinion

It is not surprising that so many Spanish clubs are showing interest in Gil, given the impact he has had in his last two spells in La Liga.

While the 21-year-old might prefer to return to a familiar environment in Valencia, Spurs will be keen for the player to pick a club where he would be a guaranteed starter.

The post Report: Four clubs have now expressed interest in signing Spurs player appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Gil was an unused substitute in Tottenham’s Premier League season opener against Southampton on Saturday.

AS reported on Monday that Valencia had identified the Spaniard as the man to replace Goncalo Guedes, who is expected to leave the club before the transfer window closes.

The report added that the La Liga club had reached out to Gil’s representatives, as well as Spurs, about potentially bringing the winger back to the Mestalla on loan.

Tribuna Deportiva journalist Hector Gomez subsequently claimed that Gennaro Gattuso’s side are in ‘advanced negotiations’ to sign the 21-year-old.

Romano has now taken to social media to confirm that Valencia are in talks with Spurs regarding Gil and suggested that negotiations are set to continue in the ‘next hours’.

However, the journalist added that Los Che could also face competition from Real Sociedad, who have now approached Spurs regarding the winger.

Valencia have asked for both Nico and Bryan Gil. Talks will continue in the next hours with Barcelona and then Tottenham in order to reach an agreement and improve Gattuso's team. #Valencia

Spurs Web Opinion

One would expect negotiations for the likes of Gil, Reguilon, Lo Celso, Tanganga and Winks to accelerate over the coming week, given that there is not too much time left in the transfer window. The Gil deal should be a fairly straightforward one to agree on since it is likely to be a loan move.

The post Fabrizio Romano provides update on interest in Tottenham’s Bryan Gil appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

The report states the 21-year-old’s place with the Spurs squad ahead of the new campaign could force Los Txuri-Urdin to delay their pursuit until later in the window, while any deal would only see him leave on loan.

Sociedad are said to be the frontrunners to sign Gil (Golsmedia), who left Spurs to join Valencia for six months in the second half of last season after struggling to adapt to life in England. 

Joining the club from Sevilla last year, he was included in Antonio Conte’s plans for the tour of South Korea, with the Italian offering the Spain international a chance to impress (Evening Standard).  

Gil played the first 45 minutes of the club’s friendly against Team K League on Wednesday and exchanged passes with Eric Dier for the opener in a back and forth 6-3 win in Seoul. 

Spurs Web Opinion 

Gil has had a tough stint with Spurs so far but he is a talented player that needs time to bed in properly so we can see what he is really about. 

A loan move would be good so he can get some regular game time, but one to Spain again may not necessarily be the best option given he still needs to adapt to English football.

Gil, who has struggled to adapt to the Premier League since his move to Spurs from Sevilla last summer, is currently undergoing pre-season with the squad in South Korea.

Reports over recent weeks have suggested that Valencia are keen on extending the 21-year-old’s stay at the club on the back of his loan spell at the Mestalla during the second half of last season (Mundo Deportivo).

Marseille have also been credited with an interest in Gil (Fabrizio Romano) but Golsmedia reported last week that it is Sociedad who are the front-runners to snap up the Spain international this summer.

Estadio Deportivo have now revealed that Sociedad are keen on signing another attacker this summer, with Gil said to be one of the players on the La Liga club’s wishlist.

However, it is explained that Imanol Alguacil’s side are now waiting for Conte to make a decision on the winger’s future.

Spurs Web Opinion

I do not think Gil will be at Tottenham next season. The only decision the club have to make is whether to loan the 21-year-old out or to cash in on him. Perhaps, Conte wants to take a closer look at Gil during pre-season to decide whether the Spaniard is worth persevering with over the long-term.

On the back of Gil’s impressive showing on loan at Valencia during the second half of last season, Los Che were said to be keen on extending the winger’s stay at the club (AS -30/05/22 via Sport Witness).

Mundo Deportivo reported last month that Valencia could face competition from Real Sociedad for the winger while, according to Fabrizio Romano, Marseille have also expressed an interest in the 21-year-old over recent weeks.

Golsmedia have revealed that Valencia have held talks over re-signing Gil and that returning to the Mestalla was his initial preference.

However, Sociedad have now allegedly emerged as the front-runners to sign the Tottenham man, with Imanol Alguacil’s side said to be ‘the best-placed’ to win the race for the winger.

The report adds that Gil is attracted by the chance to play European football at Sociedad next season and by the project at the club.

However, it is explained that the Spain international has not yet made a final decision and is continuing to assess his options.

Spurs Web Opinion

I am not surprised that Gil has not returned to Valencia, given that he found himself out of the starting eleven towards the end of last season. The most important consideration for both Spurs and the 21-year-old in deciding his next destination would be getting regular game time.

El Desmarque recently claimed Los Che were interested in bringing Gil back to the Mestalla with the winger’s profile ideal for the style of new manager Gennaro Gattuso. 

Gil has since returned to parent club Tottenham to begin his pre-season preparations, although he is now the subject of another rumoured move away from North London. 

Konur claims Real Sociedad are in contact with Spurs about taking Gil on loan for the entirety of the upcoming campaign. 

Mundo Deportivo previously reported Los Txuri-Urdin were rivalling Valencia for the signing of the Spain youth international, while transfer guru Fabrizio Romano also named Marseille as suitors.

Spurs Web Opinion 

It does seem likely that Gil will be moving out on loan from Spurs again and to another club in his native Spain. 

While it will be good for him to continue receiving more minutes, it can be argued that a move to a Premier League side would be a better option as it will allow him to familiarise himself more with the league.

Ali Cho made his senior debut for Angers during the 2020/21 campaign and became a more prominent part of the Ligue 1 club’s first team over the course of last season.

The 18-year-old, who has been capped on five occasions for France’s Under-21s, was first linked with a move to Spurs during the January transfer window.

Sky Sports even claimed at the time that Spurs had launched an opening offer for the teenager while the likes of Chelsea and Southampton were also credited with an interest in the forward (The Sun).

However, if Romano’s latest update is to be believed, Ali Cho is now on his way to Sociedad, with the journalist revealing that the La Liga club are determined to close the deal ‘as soon as possible’.

We know already from Tottenham’s capture of Pape Matar Sarr last summer, that Paratici’s network of scouts are keeping a close eye on the young talents emerging in the French market. So, it is plausible that Ali Cho was on Spurs’ wishlist. 

I wonder if the development of Troy Parrott, Dane Scarlett and Kion Etete this season was part of the reason why the club decided not to push ahead with a move for the Angers youngster.

Gil has struggled to make an impact at Spurs since joining the club from Sevilla last summer, having been limited to appearances off the bench. 

The 21-year-old was sent out on loan to Valencia for the rest of the campaign in January, where he has impressed with Los Che to the point where they are reportedly keen on signing him permanently (Fichajes).

With Gil currently set to return to his parent club, Tottenham are thought to be in no rush to make a decision regarding his future, but ideally want him playing at a side with top European football next term (Marca).

Mundo Deportivo report that Real Sociedad have entered the picture for Gil and are interested in taking him on board this summer. 

The LaLiga side, who finished sixth in the table this season, are said to have initiated contact with the wide man about a loan move for the new campaign. 

However, the report adds that Valencia also remain possible suitors with the Spanish clubs representing just two of four proposals on the table for Gil, who is waiting to see what moves Tottenham make before deciding his future. 

Spurs Web Opinion 

Gil didn’t have the easiest of times in his six months at Tottenham as he didn’t look fully up to the physical demands of English football. 

It is difficult to see where he fits into the team with Conte in charge despite the obvious talent he has, so a loan over a permanent transfer would be a good move for him again next season.
