There has been mass changes made in the Tottenham midfield this season since Ange Postecoglou‘s arrival at the club.

Yves Bissouma is back to his best, and has been partnered in central midfield by Pape Matar Sarr, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg slipping down the pecking order.

There is also Rodrigo Bentancur back from injury, and Oliver Skipp fighting for a place in the side, and yet rumours persist that Spurs are looking for new midfielders.

Granted, both Bissouma and Sarr are likely to be absent in the New Year, due to the African Cup of Nations. Meanwhile, Hojbjerg is thought to be ready to leave the club in January (Tipsbladet as relayed by Sport Witness).

How can Spurs sign Calhanoglu?

In a new report from InterLive, it is said Spurs “can try” to sign Inter Milan star Hakan Calhanoglu at the end of the season to bolster their midfield – but only on two conditions.

First of all, the Lilywhites would need to qualify for the Champions League in order to persuade the Turkish midfielder to join them.

Additionally, Hojbjerg would need to leave the club before Spurs would “give a serious thought” to signing Calhanoglu.

Apparently, it won’t be simple to get the signing over the line, though, as Inter Milan currently regard Calhanoglu as “indispensable.” It is said any club hoping to lure the player away would need to pay €50m (£43.6m).

Spurs Web Opinion

Calhanoglu is a quality player and would be a step up from Hojbjerg. He would offer something different, too, which it seems Postecoglou wants from his midfielders, which is comfortability in possession and a desire to move the ball forward.

Bale struggled to fulfil his potential during his first couple of seasons at Tottenham, partly owing to injury issues but after Harry Redknapp decided to move him from left-back to left-wing, he never looked back.

It was his performances in the two group-stage Champions League games against Inter that got the world to stand up and take notice of his talent.

The pacy-wide man netted a hat-trick at the San Siro against the side who were the reigning European champions at the time before putting them to the sword at White Hart Lane as Spurs emerged 3-1 winners.

Inter Milan wanted to sign Gareth Bale from Spurs

Bale got his big-money move to Real Madrid a couple of years later but Defoe has revealed that the Nerazzurri made a big offer to sign the Welshman soon after his Champions League displays.

The former Spurs striker said On The Judy Podcast: “He was meant to go on loan to Nottingham Forest and then Gaz got his chance and played in the Champions League against Inter Milan, a world-class performance in both legs. 

“That was one of the best performances I’ve seen. Did you know that they put a bid in afterwards? Inter said they wanted him for £40m. I’d never seen anything like it.”

Spurs Web Opinion

If this is true, it is quite strange that we did not hear anything about this story at the time as it is very rare that high-profile transfer offers for big players are kept a secret. 

£40m was huge money 13 years ago but Tottenham’s decision to turn it down proved to be the right decision, given that Bale fetched well over double that price not too long after.

Spurs were one of a whole host of clubs credited with an interest in Thuram during the summer transfer window (90 min) but it was Inter who won the race for the striker, who joined the Nerazzurri on a free transfer after his contract with Borussia Monchengladbach ran out.

The 26-year-old has started his Serie A career like a house on fire, having already registered five goal contributions (two goals and three assists) in his first four league appearances.

Marcus Thuram is on the radar of several clubs

InterLive claim that several big European clubs are now keeping a close eye on the striker’s situation and are ‘ready to try’ for him sooner rather than later.

It is alleged that Simone Inzaghi’s side are preparing for an assault on the Thuram during next summer’s transfer window, with the player on the radars of Spurs, Chelsea and Real Madrid.

The report adds that as things stand, Inter value the former Gladbach star at €40m (£34.8m) but that could increase considerably if he maintains his current standard of performances.

Spurs Web Opinion

Inter have shown that they are certainly not opposed to selling players for a profit soon after buying them as they did with Andre Onana this summer. 

Given that they signed Thuram on a free, they would certainly be tempted if they receive a sizable offer for the player next summer.

However, I suspect that the 26-year-old will likely be valued in the £60m-£70m range if he manages to get 20 goal contributions or more this season.

On Wednesday morning, it was reported by Fabrizio Romano that Genoa had struck an agreement with Spurs to sign Ndombele on loan for the season.

However, it subsequently emerged a few hours later that the Frenchman was not convinced about moving to the Luigi Ferraris Stadium as he preferred joining a club who are in the Champions League (Daily Mail).

Inter Milan now making a move for Tanguy Ndombele

If Di Marzio’s latest update is to be believed, Ndombele might get his wish, with Inter now alleged to have asked Spurs for information about the player after he turned down Genoa.

The journalist adds that the San Siro would be a ‘welcome destination’ for the 26-year-old ahead of Friday evening’s transfer deadline.

Di Marzio explains that Inter are still yet to make a final decision on whether to pursue ‘a physical midfielder’ like the Tottenham man or more of a natural playmaker such as Sassuolo’s Maxime Lopez.

Spurs Web Opinion

It was always pretty clear that several Italian clubs would try to sign Ndombele late in the transfer window as the Frenchman showed some real glimpses of quality for Napoli last season.

However, it looks like Tottenham will not get their wish of a permanent sale, with the midfielder seemingly about to head out on loan again.

Gianluca Di Marzio claimed that Torino had opened talks with Tottenham over a deal to sign Japhet Tanganga.

Di Marzio explained that Torino are on the lookout for a central defender to replace Alessandro Buongiorno, who is now on the verge of joining Atalanta.

The journalist alleged that Il Toro had identified Tanganga as the man to fill the void and had opened conversations with Spurs over a late deal for the 24-year-old.

Still options for Japhet Tanganga this summer

However, they are not the only Italian side credited with an interest in Tanganga, with journalist Ben Jacobs telling the Last Word on Spurs podcast last week that Inter Milan also have their eye on the Tottenham academy graduate.

Jacobs added at the time said that the Spurs star was also on the radars of Luton Town and Sevilla.

Spurs Web Opinion

I suspect several Italian clubs will explore a late deal for Tanganga if Tottenham are willing to loan out the centre-back. I can see a bidding war emerging for both him and Davinson Sanchez over the next 48 hours.

It has been widely reported recently that Spurs are now prioritising getting players out of the door in order to free up space in the squad for new signings, with Ndombele said to be one of the names in the shop window (Michael Bridge – Sky Sports Football Daily).

It was reported by RMC Sport earlier this week that the Frenchman is attracting interest from the likes of Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Rennes and Nottingham Forest, with Spurs said to value the player at around €15m-€20m (£12.9m-£17m).

Inter now considering move for Tanguy Ndombele

TuttoSport have now claimed that Inter are considering moving for the Tottenham man as the Serie A side are keen to add reinforcements in central midfield.

It is alleged that the Italian side’s top target is Red Bull Salzburg’s Lucas Gourna-Douath but the youngster is expected to cost over €20m (£17m), which is an ‘obstacle’ for the Nerazzurri.

Thus, it is said that Inter are now considering turning their attention to Ndombele, who spent last season on loan at reigning champions Napoli.

Spurs Web Opinion

I expected Ndombele to attract quite a bit of interest from the Serie A this summer on the back of his spell at Napoli. While the 26-year-old did not set the world alight at Naples, he showed enough promise to suggest that he can be a solid acquisition for most sides in the division. However, I suspect that the Frenchman’s wages would likely put off most Serie A sides.

Everton keen on Japhet Tanganga

The report claims that Premier League newcomers Luton Town are leading the race to land the former England Under-21 international as they push to take him on loan with an option to make the deal permanent.

Inter Milan have also considered making a move for the 24-year-old as they look to bolster their defensive options, while Everton have also made moves for his signature.

Tanganga is under contract in North London until the summer of 2025 and now looks to be set to kick-start his career away from the club where he progressed through the ranks as a youngster (transfermarkt).

SpursWeb Opinion

A lack of regular first-team football has not helped Tanganga’s cause and has mostly been used as emergency cover in recent times.  He struggles to perform at a high level without a regular run of gams under his belt and instead, a move to Everton would be a sensible switch for him given their poor start to the new campaign.

Luton Town also keen on Spurs’ Japhet Tanganga

The Express have now also backed up Inter’s interest in the Tottenham man and they reveal that Luton have emerged as the Serie A side’s main competitor for the player’s signature.

It is explained that both the Italian side and the newly promoted Premier League outfit want to sign Tanganga on a season-long loan deal.

The publication adds that the Spurs academy graduate’s preference is to head to the San Siro, which is why he is now waiting to see if Inter substantiate their interest.

Spurs Web Opinion

Tanganga has just two years left in his contract. So, Tottenham would ideally want to sell him rather than to loan him out. However, given that the North London club urgently need to offload several players, they would likely consider loaning out the 25-year-old defender with an option to buy.

The post Report: Inter Milan and Luton Town are fighting over one Tottenham player appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Inter Milan step up pursuit of Japhet Tanganga

It appears as if Tanganga might soon be edging closer to an exit, with Di Marzio claiming that Inter have identified the Tottenham star as an option to bolster their backline.

The journalist explained that various Premier League sides have also expressed an interest in the Spurs academy graduate but the player wants to wait for the Nerazzurri to make a move.

However, Di Marzio makes it clear that Tanganga is not the only option on Inter’s radar, with the Italian club also thought to be eyeing Atalanta’s Giorgio Scalvini.

Spurs Web Opinion

Tanganga is not only represented by an Italian agent in Roberto De Fanti but defenders of his profile have also tended to do well in Serie A over recent years, which is why I am not surprised that the Tottenham man is leaning towards a switch to Italy.

Since Harry Kane completed his long-awaited move to Bayern Munich on Saturday, plenty of names have been mooted as potential replacements for the 30-year-old at Spurs.

Gent’s Gift Orban is alleged to be near the top of the Lilywhites’ wishlist, while the Premier League side are also thought to have explored moves for Lille’s Jonathan David (CaughtOffside).

Reports linking Montpellier’s Elye Wahi with a move to Tottenham show no signs of dissipating (Foot Mercato) while a few Italian outlets have also suggested that Romelu Lukaku is on the North London club’s radar (Calciomercato.it), although this has been rubbished by the likes of Alasdair Gold.

Tottenham are looking at Lautaro Martinez

Jacobs has now also denied suggestions that Spurs could move for Lukaku but he did add that the Belgian’s former Inter teammate, Martinez, is someone the club have had their eye on.

The journalist told CaughtOffside: “Spurs must now find a replacement (for Kane). Talk of that being Romelu Lukaku has been dismissed.

“Before Fabio Paratici left Spurs, the most likely target if Kane left was Lille’s Jonathan David. An approach still can’t be ruled out. Spurs also like Lautaro Martinez, but Inter simply don’t want to sell.”

Spurs Web Opinion

With the Romelu Lukaku and Mehdi Taremi rumours being dismissed over the last few days, it does appear as if Gift Orban, Elye Wahi and Jonathan David are the three names at the top of Tottenham’s wishlist to replace Harry Kane. All indications suggest that Spurs are prioritising a move for the Gent star at the moment.

It is explained that the Nerazzurri like the 24-year-old’s profile since he is capable of operating as a centre-back and a right-back.

Spurs are open to Tanganga loan with option to buy

Di Marzio adds that Tottenham are ready to loan Tanganga out with an option to buy the defender, which is not a formula that the North London club were previously open to.

However, the journalist adds that as things stand, the Spurs academy graduate is just one of several names on Inter’s wishlist, with the Italian club expected to make some ‘evaluations’ over the coming days.

This report comes a day after Alasdair Gold revealed via Football.London that Tanganga is one of five defenders Tottenham are now listening to offers for, along with Joe Rodon, Davinson Sanchez, Djed Spence and Sergio Reguilon.

Spurs Web Opinion

Tanganga is represented by an Italian agent in Roberto De Fanti and his profile would be appreciated by quite a few Serie A clubs, which is why I think there is a good chance that the 24-year-old ends up in Italy this summer.

However, not a lot of Italian clubs have money to spend, which is why it might have to be a loan deal with an option or obligation to buy.

Galatasaray enter race for Japhet Tanganga

Thomas has now taken to social media to back up Inter’s interest in Tanganga, and he revealed that Galatasaray are also on the Spurs star’s trail.

Spurs Web Opinion

It is quite clear by now that Tanganga, Rodon and Sanchez are all likely to head through the exit door over the coming weeks with potentially one other centre-back (plus Clement Lenglet) set to arrive at the club.

The post Journalist: Spurs are open to loan or sale for 24-year-old – Two clubs interested so far appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

One of the more disappointing elements of a disastrous campaign for Tottenham last year was the poor form of club captain and number one goalkeeper, Hugo Lloris.

(Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images)

Given the rapid regression of Lloris, it’s no wonder Ange Postecoglou moved quickly to make Italian goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario, his first signing as Spurs boss.

Lloris has just one year left on his current contract, and is expected to be one of the players allowed to leave Tottenham during the summer transfer window (Evening Standard).

According to the Daily Record, PSG would be keen to sign Lloris as a back-up to their current number one, Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Hugo Lloris interested in moving to PSG this summer

While no decision has been made regarding Lloris’ next step, it appears the 36-year-old has plenty of offers on the table, and has already turned down one approach.

The latest information comes courtesy of RMC Sport, who claim Lloris has “rejected an offer” from Fiorentina. It is believed an offer from Saudi side Al-Hilal is also not what Lloris was hoping for.

The report adds that Inter Milan have “also shown an interest,” though the Italian giants are thought to be more keen on Yann Sommer.

That leaves PSG, who have apparently “taken information” about Lloris. While “nothing concrete” has developed at this stage, it sounds like Lloris “is open to the idea” of a move back to France and is “seduced” by PSG’s “project.”

Spurs Web Opinion

It would be a shame to see Lloris move somewhere where he would be the second-choice keeper, so hopefully he finds a decent club that will give him regular game time.

It doesn’t sound like PSG will offer that, but the idea of being back in France, on a good contract, and most likely winning a trophy or two, will be hard to turn down.

It has been reported widely in various British outlets over the past couple of weeks that Perisic is one of many first-team players who are expected to be offloaded by Tottenham this summer as part of their mass clear-out (The Athletic).

LONDON, ENGLAND – APRIL 08: Ivan Perisic of Tottenham Hotspur during the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton & Hove Albion at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 08, 2023 in London, England. (Photo by Tottenham Hotspur FC/Tottenham Hotspur FC via Getty Images)

It emerged earlier this month that the 34-year-old was of interest to Saudi Arabian clubs as well as Fenerbahce (Ben Jacobs – Chris Cowlin’s YouTube channel).

However, this information was contradicted by Hajduk Split president Luksa Jakobusic, who told Croatian publication Vercenji a couple of days ago that although Perisic wants to return to his boyhood club, Tottenham are blocking the move.

Jakobusic alleged that Ange Postecoglou does not want to lose the wing-back as there are very few players in the Spurs squad who are as versatile as him.

Ivan Perisic wants to return to Inter Milan

Perisic has travelled to Australia for pre-season with the Tottenham squad but Barzaghi has now claimed that he has already made up his mind to leave the North London club.

The journalist asserted that the Croatian international has confided in his former Inter teammates that he seeks a return to the Nerazzurri.

Barzaghi said on his YouTube channel (as relayed by FcInter1908): “He (Perisic) too would like to return (to Inter Milan), above all because he understood that Conte is leaving at the end of the season, and things could get even more complicated for him.

“He, like Hakimi himself, as they confide to his former teammates, would like to return. And they eat their hands a bit: I don’t think Perisic expected such a modest adventure in the Premier League.”

Spurs Web Opinion

The fact that Postecoglou has taken Perisic to Australia for pre-season might not mean much as it is clear that the new Spurs boss did not want to leave any senior players out of the touring party.

I would be extremely surprised if the 34-year-old ends up staying as I do not see him as a good fit for Postecoglou’s system.

Spurs reportedly agreed a deal worth £16.4m with Empoli for Vicario and the transfer seemed to happen quite swiftly once the North London club turned their attention from David Raya to the Italian.

It was reported by 90 min last month that the 26-year-old shot-stopper was on the radars of the likes of Inter Milan, Juventus, AS Roma and Fiorentina this summer.

The same publication also suggested a couple of weeks ago that the reason Tottenham were keen to wrap up a deal for Vicario quickly was due to fears that Inter would make a move for the Italian if they lost Andre Onana.

Inter Milan tried to hijack Tottenham’s Vicario deal

It appears that Spurs’ fears were not unfounded as Corsi has now revealed that the Nerazzurri did try to hijack the deal but it was already too late as the club had an agreement in place with the Lilywhites.

The Empoli president told CalcioMercato about Vicario: “Inter called me until the last day available with respect to the agreement and the contract of Vicario.

“We had already received the documents, obviously from correct and respectable people, they only asked me at what point I was and they had the displeasure that things were going in that direction.

“They told me they still needed a few more days, so they told me ‘make your own’ as they say among friends [laughs].”

Spurs Web Opinion

While Raya was seemingly Tottenham’s top target to replace Lloris, I get the feeling that some at the North London club (potentially Leonardo Gabbanini) were pushing the case of Vicario and wanted the Lilywhites to make a move for the 26-year-old before he was snapped up by one of the Serie A giants.

The report states that even though Calhanoglu has excelled since his switch from cross-City rivals AC Milan 18 months ago, no player at Inter is considered ‘non-transferable’ this summer due to the club’s economic predicament.

It is explained that the central midfielder’s impressive displays in a variety of midfield roles last season caught the attention of several clubs around Europe, including a few in the Premier League.

Tottenham could look to raid Inter for Calhanoglu

The publication states that Tottenham are the ones to ‘keep an eye out’ for, with the North London club said to be keen on strengthening their midfield department this summer.

It is alleged that Ange Postecolgou’s men could tempt the Nerazzurri by submitting an offer of €35m (£30m) for Calhanoglu.

InterLive add that Spurs are not alone in their admiration for the Turkey international, with the player also alleged to be on the radars of Manchester United and Chelsea.

However, the report asserts that as things stand, Simone Inzaghi’s men have no plans of selling the 29-year-old and would only reconsider if ‘a shock proposal arrives’.

Spurs Web Opinion

If Tottenham do cash in on Hojbjerg this summer, the club would need to add reinforcements to the middle of the park, particularly with Bentancur unlikely to be fit for the start of the season. 

While Calhanoglu is more than capable of thriving in a Postecoglou system, the Australian might prefer a midfielder of a younger profile.

It was reported by 90 min last week that one of the reasons that Spurs moved swiftly to wrap up a deal for the Italian was due to fears that Inter would make a move for the 26-year-old once Andre Onana seals an exit.

Inter are looking at Lloris as Onana replacement

Gazzetta now suggests that the Nerazzurri are now looking at other options to replace the Cameroonian if and when he completes a switch to Manchester United.

It is asserted that Lloris is an option that appeals to the Serie A club, given the Frenchman’s vast experience and with his days at Tottenham now seemingly numbered.

However, the publication adds that the Spurs captain is not the only name on the wishlist of Simone Inzaghi’s men with Bayern Munich’s Yann Sommer and Paris Saint-Germain’s Keylor Navas also on the club’s radar.

Spurs Web Opinion

I suspect Hugo’s preference would be to return to France and potentially even his hometown club, Nice.

However, perhaps the chance to taste Champions League football with Inter for one last time would be quite tempting for the 36-year-old goalkeeper.

Another comparatively lower-profile midfielder who is rumoured to be on Tottenham’s radar is Scott, who has emerged as one of the best young talents in the EFL over the last couple of years.

In fact, Football.London reported just last week that Tottenham have asked to be kept informed about the 19-year-old’s situation but the outlet claimed that several other Premier League clubs also have their eye on the youngster.

Inter Milan have entered the race for Alex Scott

If TMW’s latest update is to be believed, Spurs could also face competition from Italy for Scott, with Inter now eyeing a move for the midfielder.

The publication states that the Nerazzurri are ‘serious’ about their interest in the England Under-20 international and could now be ready to launch an offer for him.

It is asserted that Scott is valued by Bristol at €25m (£21.5m) while Simone Inzaghi’s men are hoping to close the operation at around €18m (£15.4m).

Spurs Web Opinion

Scott seems like an ideal Postecoglou player, given his bravery on the ball while it has been well-documented that the Australian likes working with youngsters since they are more malleable.

It feels like the 19-year-old is another one of those players that we will rue missing out on in a few years if we fail to get a deal over the line for him this summer.

It is thought Brentford stopper David Raya is the top target for the Lilywhites, and personal terms have already been agreed between Spurs and the player (Fabrizio Romano).

All that remains is to arrange a transfer fee with Brentford. The Bees want £40 million for Raya but Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly reluctant to pay that much (Telegraph).

Inter Milan are interested in Spurs target David Raya

It has been suggested this hesitation could pave the way for other clubs to swoop, and now Inter Milan have joined the queue for the highly-rated 27-year-old according to The Guardian.

Apparently, Inter Milan keeper Andre Onana is being targeted by both Chelsea and Manchester United. Should Onana leave the club this summer, that could have a negative domino effect on Tottenham‘s plans to sign Raya.

Due to financial issues, Inter are likely to be “forced to sell” their star keeper this summer if an offer comes their way. Chelsea and Manchester United are both believed to have “registered an interest” in Onana.

In light of this development, Inter have already “inquired” about the situation surrounding Raya’s future, which could put a spanner in the works for Spurs.

Spurs Web Opinion

I feared this would happen and the fact we cannot just meet a player’s valuation and get a deal over the line could well cost us dearly again.

We are so close to bringing Raya to the club and we need to just get it done now before other clubs move in.

It is explained that Xavi Hernandez likes Brozovic ‘a lot’ and that the La Liga giants failed with a move for him last summer.

Spurs, Arsenal, and Chelsea all keen on Brozovic

The publication asserts that Barca are expected to reignite their pursuit of the Inter star as Xavi views him as the ideal option to replace Sergio Busquets this summer.

However, Marca add that the Spanish champions will have to contend with quite a bit of competition for Brozovic, with Tottenham named as one of the clubs who are ‘closely following’ the player.

The outlet names Chelsea, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid as the three other clubs are monitoring the Nerazzurri star’s situation.

Spurs Web Opinion

Brozovic strikes me as a very Conte-like target rather than someone who Postecoglou would want.

While the Croat is technically good enough to adapt to the new Tottenham boss’ system, the Australian would likely want someone younger who he can groom into a specific role.
