Harry Kane ended his trophy drought at Bayern Munich as they beat Tottenham on Saturday to win the Visit Malta Cup.

Kane came off the bench as Bayern won 3-2 on his first return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium following his departure last summer.

Dejan Kulusevski scored both of Spurs’ goal, including the opener the in the first minute whilst Dayot Upamecano, Serge Gnabry and Thomas Muller were all on target for the German giants.

However, when the time came to lift the trophy a clearly emotional Kane refused to lift it out of respect to his former club despite being urged to by one of his team-mates.

Before the game Kane along with ex-Spurs defender Eric Dier was presented with a special gift by Ledley King to commemorate his time at the club.

Tottenham are exploring a move for Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. 

It’s been a quiet window for Spurs so far and they have signed three teenagers in Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Min-hyeok Yang, whilst they have also extended Timo Werner’s loan from RB Leipzig.

Ange Postecoglou’s side will need further reinforcements as they try to get back into the Champions League, and will also face the added task of the Europa League next season.

Spurs explore move for Solanke

Spurs, who are currently on their pre-season tour of Japan and Korea are known to be in the market for a striker as they look to ease the goal-scoring burden on Son Heung-min.

They have Brazil international Richarlison among their ranks, but the former Everton man hasn’t lived up to expectations following his arrival for £60m two years ago.

The north London outfit have been linked with a host of names including Ivan Toney and Jonathan David but nothing has materialised yet.

However, Romano has provided an update on Spurs’ hunt for a striker and revealed they are exploring a move for Solanke.

He took to X.com and said:

“EXCLUSIVE: Tottenham explore move for Dominic Solanke, he’s among targets for Spurs. Difficult deal as he’s key player for #AFCB, no formal bid to Bournemouth so far. Spurs exploring options to bring in new striker and potentially new winger, based on opportunities.”

Solanke enjoyed a productive campaign for the Cherries, scoring 19 Premier League goals in 38 appearances as Bournemouth finished 12th last season.

The 26-year-old has been at Bournemouth since 2019 following his move from Liverpool and is under contract on the south coast until 2027.

It’s been reported that Solanke has a £65m release clause in his contract that can only be activated by certain clubs, although it’s unclear who those clubs are.

Tottenham forward Richarlison isn’t pushing to leave the club according to Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge, despite interest from the Saudi Pro League.

Richarlison arrived at Spurs from Everton in a deal worth £60m in 2022, but has struggled to find his best form in north London.

Despite an improvement last season which saw him score 11 goals and provide four assists in 28 Premier League appearances, questions have been raised about his future.

Richarlison not pushing to leave Spurs

The Brazil international has been linked with a move to Saudi side Al-Ahli, but as of yet nothing serious has materialised in regards to an exit.

The 27-year-old is under contract at Spurs until 2027, but with the club yet to sign an out and out forward in the window he could be set for a big role under Ange Postecoglou next season.

Earlier in the summer it had been reported that Richarlison was one of the names that Spurs would be prepared to sell this summer.

However, Bridge has reported that the Brazilian isn’t pushing to leave north London and if Spurs were thinking about letting him go they would want close to the £60m they paid two years ago.

“I think it would have to take a decent bid for Spurs to consider selling Richarlison because it’s a long season ahead in the Europa League and Postecoglou has been happy with him, but that might be one to wait and see if a club comes in for him.

AC Milan have had fresh contact with Tottenham over the transfer of Emerson Royal, but the two clubs still haven’t agreed a fee according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Serie A side have reportedly already agreed personal terms with the 25-year-old, but so far they haven’t been prepared to meet Tottenham’s valuation.

Spurs are open to selling a number of players this summer, with midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg recently joining Marseille, and Royal could be next to follow him out the exit door at the north London club.

Milan and Spurs still in talks over Royal

Milan are in the market for a right back this summer and have identified the Brazilian as a player they want, but negotiations reportedly went cold earlier this month with Spurs still wanting more than €20m for the former Barcelona man.

However, Romano has provided an update on the situation and reported that fresh contact has taken place between the two clubs as they look to come to an agreement.

He took to X.com and said:

“AC Milan had new contacts with Tottenham for Emerson Royal. There’s still almost €3m difference between fee offered and proposal received. Personal terms agreed in May, talks still ongoing between the two clubs.”

The Brazilian made 24 appearances in all competitions last season, with 22 of those coming in the Premier League, and if he were to leave then Spurs would need to find a replacement to act as back up for Pedro Porro.

Royal joined Spurs from Spanish giants Barcelona back in 2021 and still has two years remaining on his deal having signed a five year contract with the club.

It would seem likely that an agreement will eventually be reached given both clubs are back in talks, and a switch to the San Siro would see Royal play Champions League football next season.

Ivan Toney is prepared to allow his contract to run down and leave Brentford on a free next summer according to talkSPORT.

Toney was part of the England squad that made the final of Euro 2024, and he scored in the penalty shootout victory against Switzerland in the quarter finals.

The 28-year-old is hoping for a big move away from the Bees this summer, but so far progress appears to be slow on a departure.

Toney prepared to run his contract down

The England international returned to action earlier this year following an eight month ban for breaching betting rules.

The striker scored four goals in 17 appearances last season, which all came in his first five games back from his ban.

The Athletic have reported that last summer Toney would have been worth between £80m-£100m, but now he’s understood to be valued at around £50m.

Toney had attracted interest from the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal in January but a move to either club failed to materialise.

The striker is due back at Brentford next week after the club’s pre-season tour of Portugal, and a decision is likely to be taken on his future soon, with the chances of a new deal being signed highly unlikely.

However, talkSPORT have reported that Toney would be prepared to run his contract down and leave on a free next summer.

The report adds that the two Premier League clubs who have expressed the most interest are West Ham and Tottenham, with Toney hoping Spurs make a move, whilst clubs in Saudi Arabia are also thought to be interested.

Toney had been linked with a move to Manchester United earlier this summer, but they have subsequently signed Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee, whilst Arsenal and Chelsea appear to have completely cooled their interest.

With teams now into the swing of pre-season and the new campaign drawing nearer, Toney will certainly be a player to keep an eye on, and it’s surprising that more clubs seemingly aren’t interested in a player of his quality.

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay is attracting interest from the likes of Fulham and Galatasaray, but Erik ten Hag insists United want to keep hold of him.

The Red Devils are looking to strengthen their squad having finished a disappointing eighth last season and bottom of their Champions League group.

After a slow start to the window there’s been a flurry of activity at Old Trafford with a number of deals being completed, and several more near the finish line.

Ten Hag insists United want to keep McTominay

United have signed striker Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna, whilst teenage centre back Leny Yoro has also arrived from Lille, with the club also believed to working on deals for Manuel Ugarte and Matthijs de Ligt.

Midfield is an area United are looking to strengthen and they are believed to be trying to offload Casemiro, whilst the club won’t be taking up their €20m buy option on Sofyan Amrabat following his loan spell from Fiorentina last season.

United have also been linked with a move for France international Adrien Rabiot who is now a free agent after his contract with Juventus expired.

Question marks have also surrounded the future of Scotland international McTominay who was the subject of interest from West Ham last summer.

The 27-year-old is once again attracting interest this summer with the likes of Tottenham, Fulham and Turkish giants Galatasaray all said to be interested.

However, Ten Hag has come out and insisted United want to keep the midfielder and that he’s a very important part of the squad.

“We have very good players so there will always be an interest from other clubs,” Ten Hag said.

“When you score 10 goals in a season and also perform very good for Scotland, then there will be an interest. But we want to keep him because he is a very important player for our squad.

“What he can contribute, as we saw last season once we had our sixes available, he could play in a more advanced role and he is a highly interesting player for our team.”

McTominay popped up with a number of late and important goals last season for United as he scored ten goals in 43 appearances in all competitions, but he only has one year remaining on his current deal although United have a club option for a further year.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has said he’s expecting more activity in the transfer market following the club’s 5-1 win against Hearts in their first pre-season game on Wednesday evening.

Spurs will be looking to strengthen their squad over the summer having missed out on Champions League football to Aston Villa last season.

The north London club have already signed talented teenager Archie Gray, whilst Timo Werner’s loan has been extended, and young midfielder Lucas Bergvall has also arrived.

Postecoglou expecting more transfer activity

The club got their pre-season preparations off to a perfect start by beating ScottishHearts 5-1 as Postecoglou fielded a strong side with Son Heung-min, James Maddison, Yves Bissouma, Dejan Kulusevski, Brennan Johnson and new signing Archie Gray all starting.

Spurs no doubt need to add more reinforcements if they are to stand a chance of getting back into the Champions League next season, and they are believed to be in the market for a striker with Jonathan David and Ivan Toney linked with moves.

Postecoglou was asked after the game about transfers and said he had no doubt there would be a couple more additions before the window closes.

“Like I said, nothing’s really changed, I’m comfortable,” he told reporters.

“We’ve got a strategy in place about what we want to do.

“I’m really happy with the two lads we’ve brought in, both obviously very talented but more importantly really ambitious.

“They’re not here to ease their way in, they want to play and I think that’s great.

Spurs are also looking to sell a number of players before the window closes with the club reportedly open to offers for the likes of Richarlison and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, whilst a move for Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher is still a possibility.

Tottenham are ahead of Newcastle in the race for Wolves star Pedro Neto as he’s attracted by the prospect of Europa League football according to reports. 

Spurs are looking to strengthen a squad which missed out on Champions League football last season and have added talented teenager Archie Gray to their ranks from Leeds, whilst they have also extended Timo Werner’s loan move from RB Leipzig.

Ange Postecoglou’s side are known to be looking for more attacking reinforcements and have identified Neto as a target.

Tottenham ahead of Newcastle in the race for Neto

Neto has been one of Wolves’ best players over the years, but injury issues limited him to 24 appearances in all competitions last season, and he scored three goals and provided 11 assists.

Wolves know they are likely going to have to sell one or more of their key players this summer, but having sold Max Kilman to West Ham in a deal worth £40m they may not be under as much pressure to part ways with Neto.

The 24-year-old can now fully focus on his future following Portugal’s elimination from Euro 2024 and is attracting interest from Premier League clubs.

GIVEMESPORT report that Spurs have the edge over Newcastle in the race for the Portugal international because they can offer Europa League football, whilst the opportunity to live in London is also thought to be attractive.

The report adds that two other Premier League clubs have been made aware of Neto’s availability and could make a move before the season starts.

GIVEMESPORT state that Neto’s agent Jorge Mendes could look to create a bidding war for his client amongst potential suitors.

Wolves are thought to value the Portuguese at around £60m and it’s likely any opening bid from Tottenham would be below that mark as they look to test the waters.

Spurs are also thought to be interested in Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze and it would seem unlikely they would go in for both players, so they will seemingly have a decision to make.

Tottenham have made fresh enquiries over the possibility of a move for Wolves winger Pedro Neto according to reports.

Spurs are looking to strengthen their squad and are after more acquisitions following the arrival of talented teenager Archie Gray from Leeds for £40m.

Gray is Tottenham’s third summer signing following the extension of Timo Werner’s loan from RB Leipzig and the arrival of Lucas Bergvall from Swedish side Djurgardens.

Tottenham want to know Wolves’ Neto stance

Neto is likely to be a man in demand this summer, but Wolves may not be in a position where they are desperate to sell having banked £40m from West Ham for Max Kilman.

The winger is a quality player, but was hampered by injury issues last season which limited him to 24 appearances in all competitions, and he scored three goals and provided 11 assists.

The 24-year-old is unlikely to be short of suitors this summer and GIVEMESPORT have reported that Spurs have made enquiries in order to find out how difficult it would be to complete a move for the Portugal international.

Following Portugal’s elimination from Euro 2024 Neto will now have time to think about his future, and the report adds there’s a growing feeling Neto’s agent Jorge Mendes will be successful in negotiating a move away from Wolves for his client.

GIVEMESPORT add that Spurs aren’t the only club interested in Neto with Arsenal, Manchester City and Newcastle also expressing interest in the Portuguese, who Wolves value at £60m.

The reports states that Neto’s injury record is one of the main reasons as to why both Spurs and Arsenal aren’t prepared to meet the price tag and Wolves have already put plans in place to find a replacement.

Tottenham have also been strongly linked with a move for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, with the 26-year-old believed to have a release clause of £60m.

Spurs will certainly need to strengthen their attacking options if they are to get back into the Champions League next season, and the addition of either Neto or Eze would make a big difference.

The post Spurs want to know Premier League club’s stance on £60m rated ace before making a move appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Tottenham are planning to offer two players to Leeds as part of a deal for midfielder Archie Gray according to reports.

Leeds are facing the prospect of having to sell one or two of their key players this summer, having failed to win promotion to the Premier League last season.

Gray, who had a breakthrough season falls into that category along with the likes of Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto.

Tottenham could offer players as part of Gray deal

The 18-year-old made 52 appearances in all competitions for Leeds last season, and is one of the brightest talents in Europe.

Gray has been attracting interest from several Premier League clubs and it was reported on Saturday that Brentford had made an offer and a medical had been scheduled but on Sunday it was confirmed that Leeds had rejected that bid.

The Athletic reported that Tottenham are working on a deal to sign Gray, and talks are ongoing with an expectation that a deal can be reached even though nothing has been finalised yet, but the player’s preference is believed to be a move to north London.

Leeds need to raise funds before Sunday’s profit and sustainability deadline and it appears Gray could be sacrificed so they don’t breach the rules.

The Times have reported that Spurs could use a player as part of the deal with two players under consideration to be a makeweight in the deal.

The report adds one of those players is Joe Rodon, who spent last season on loan at Elland Road where he made more than 50 appearances.

Rodon is under contract at Spurs until 2026, but is expected to leave this summer as he clearly isn’t part of Ange Postecoglou’s plans.

The Times add that the other player who could be used is Oliver Skipp, who has played under current Leeds manager Daniel Farke at Norwich.

However, it’s claimed there ae reservations about using Skipp, who came through the academy as part of the deal due to Spurs being back in Europe and needing to have a certain amount of homegrown players.
