André Gomes

Reports in Spain suggest superstar Lionel Messi want Barcelona to sell 24-year-old (25 in July) midfielder André Gomes and he is frustrated that hasn't happened. It is suggested that Tottenham have backed away from pursuing an interest in him.

Barcelona are thought to be prepared to take a near 50% loss on Gomes, the former Valencia midfielder is available for £19.34 million (€22m). Wolves have been mentioned as a potential suitor and West Ham United were interested in January. A report in Spain suggests Juventus are interested in him.

Barcelona have offered £14.94 million (€17m) + André Gomes to Bayern Munich for Thiago Alcantara, an offer immediately rejected by the Germans. Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu is expected to come back this week with a £19.34 million  (€22m) + Gomes offer. Thiago has already agreed personal terms with the Spanish side.

Juan Foyth and Cameron Carter-Vickers


The Yorkshire post have confirmed my story of last week that Juan Foyth is wanted by Marcelo Bielsa on loan and in addition, they would like Cameron Carter-Vickers too. Bielsa has been confirmed as Leeds United new boss. Should Pochettino work with him with our youngsters, it'll be an interesting one.

Tanguy Ndombélé

Lyon have lodged a bid for 24-year-old (25 next March) Strasbourg defensive midfielder Jean-Eudes Aholou. That could mean that 21-year-old (22 in December) Tottenham target Tanguy Ndombélé could be leaving this summer. Spurs have not spoken to Lyon yet about him despite extensive press speculation.

The trouble is, one reporter takes a guess, throws a couple of figures out there and the rest of the press take that as gospel when it's made up and the world starts taking it as fact. It's why I have no time for what are basically dishonest journalists. If a journalist makes it clear he is giving an opinion then fair enough, that is something different.

João Mário

The Italian press claim Tottenham have scouted 25-year-old (26 next January) Hammers loanee João Mário for months. They are really trying to push our interest in him as they want Mousa Dembélé. According to Corriere dello Sport, Inter have put a price of £28.12 - £30.76 million (€32-35m). 

We have heard so many Inter players linked with us by the Italian press it is becoming ridiculous, we seem to be scouting the whole side according to them.

Spurs New Stadium

The Emirates stadium took 2 years 5 months to build, Wembley took 5 years, the AMEX over 2.5 years and The London Stadium nearly 3 years. The fact Spurs new stadium will host Premier League Football in September 2018 is extraordinary.

Jannik Vestergaard

Italian paper Il Tempo are reporting that Tottenham are interested in signing 25-year-old (26 in August) Danish international and Borussia Mönchengladbach centre-back Jannik Vestergaard. Lazio are reported to be ready to submit a £17.58 million (€20m) bid suggest German paper Bild. Lazio sporting Director Igli Tare was at the Peru Denmark game hoping to cast an eye over him.
