    How Tottenham could line up under Mauricio Pochettino with Harry Kane to STAY & emotional return for Christian Eriksen

    MAURICIO POCHETTINO could make a sensational return to Tottenham and bring Christian Eriksen back with him.The Argentine is reportedly set to be sacked by Paris Saint-Germain despite winning the Ligue 1 title.
    How Spurs could line-up under Pochettino next season in his second spell
    And a bombshell report from Le Parisien says boss Antonio Conte has sensationally offered to ditch Spurs less than a year after joining to take over at PSG.
    Tottenham, who axed Pochettino in November 2019, are the favourites to be his next club.
    This could tempt star striker Harry Kane NOT to move away from North London.
    He has been tipped to force a move away this summer but appeared to snub Manchester United after the club’s decision to appoint Erik ten Hag over Pochettino.

Madrid ‘will not hire Pochettino and PSG boss could return to Spurs’
    And now his ex-manager could convince him his future is at Spurs in a reunion with the England striker.
    Meanwhile, Eriksen is being tipped to secure an emotional comeback with the 30-year-old’s Bees deal expiring in the summer. 
    Fan favourite Eriksen meaningfully embraced his ex-team-mates before Tottenham’s the goalless draw with Brentford on Saturday.
    Skipper Hugo Lloris and Kane both gave the midfielder massive hugs in the tunnel as he continued his astonishing return from a cardiac arrest.

    Kalvin Phillips would solidify the Whites behind an electric attack.
    The Leeds star is one of SIX incoming transfers being targeted, according to reports.
    Pochettino could also bring Marquinhos from PSG along with him.
    21-year-old Wilfried Singo could sign from Torino to cement the right-back spot, which has changed hands all season.
    Singo joined the Italian club as a centre-back when just a teenager but has now shifted to the right side of defence where his pace and dribbling skills can be utilised.
    Alternatively, Ryan Sessegnon could rediscover his form again under Pochettino, the man who gave the green light on his £25m arrival at the club.
    An alternative look at a potential XI under the current PSG boss
    And Conte-signing Dejan Kulusevski could make way in the starting XI for linked Marcus Thuram.
    That is according to The Athletic, who report that Gladbach are willing to sell Thuram in the upcoming summer transfer window for a bargain price.
    Spurs are supposedly preparing to offer Inter Milan defender Stefan de Vrij £100k-a-week as they look to secure his signature this summer.
    De Vrij’s current contract at the San Siro expires at the end of the 2022/23 campaign.
    Sergio Ramos is also available on a free and has struck up a relationship with the former Spurs boss at PSG.

    Tottenham set to battle Juventus and two Premier League rivals for Matthias Ginter free transfer this summer

    Ginter is being watched by some of the biggest sides in EuropeCredit: AFp or licensors
    It is thought Spurs are one of the clubs who are keen on the German international, who has 46 caps for his country since his debut in 2014.
    The centre-back has also been operated as a defensive midfielder and right-back for Monchengladbach, showcasing a versatility which could appeal to Antonio Conte.
    The Italian is known for getting the most out of these kinds of players, noticeably converting the likes of Victor Moses and Ivan Perisic to new roles in title-winning campaigns.
    However, the North London side are set to face stiff competition for his services.

prosecutors demand Tottenham chief Fabio Paratici is banned for 16 MONTHS
    Juventus, who have a pair of ageing centre-backs in Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci are understood to be keen on Ginter, according to Sky Sports News.
    The Italian powerhouse are currently six points off the top of Serie A, and exited the Champions League at the Round of 16 stage at the hands of Villarreal.
    Closer to home, Sky Sports News are also reporting Aston Villa and West Ham are watching the World Cup winner.
    Steven Gerrard’s side are currently on a four game losing run, however they have more than secured their place in the Premier League since the Liverpool legend’s appointment.

    Following a season of multiple big money transfers – including Emi Buendia, Leon Bailey, Lucas Digne and Danny Ings – the Villa board may be willing to back their manager in his first summer transfer window in England as they look to reach the next level.
    West Ham on the other hand are enjoying a second consecutive superb season, sitting sixth in the Premier League as well as on the brink of a European semi-final.
    However, the Hammers appeared to finally be showing signs of fatigue at last in their 2-0 defeat to Brentford at the weekend.
    David Moyes will certainly be looking to add to a thin squad this summer, in order to maintain their challenge on the Prem’s established ‘top six’. More

    Tottenham ready to grant Toby Alderweireld dream transfer back to Belgium or Holland – but won’t let him go on cheap

    TOTTENHAM are ready to grant Toby Alderweireld a dream move back to the Low Countries – but not for a low fee.The Belgium defender, 32, wants to quit Spurs for either his homeland or Holland.
    Toby Alderweireld looks set to leave Tottenham this summer – but the Londoners want £25mCredit: Getty
    He is believed to have told the North Londoners this before they appointed Nuno Espirito Santo as boss this week.
    The club are ready to listen to offers for Alderweireld as new boss Nuno and recently appointed recruitment guru Fabio Paratici plan to kick off the new era in N17 with a defensive shake-up.
    The former Ajax and Atletico ace has two years remaining on his current £100,000-a-week contract.
    Getting him off the wage bill would free up some much-needed cash for Spurs as they look to bring in new signings this summer.
    But they will not let their former Ajax and Atletico ace – who has two years remaining on his contract – and are thought to want a transfer fee of around £25million for him.
    Alderweireld has made no secret of his desire to finish his career in Belgium or the Netherlands.
    His hometown club Royal Antwerp, Club Brugge, PSV Eindhoven and Ajax are all said to be interested in him.
    But realistically it is only the Dutch pair which would be able to afford him – unless Spurs drop their asking price.
    Alderweireld is not the only defender set to leave Tottenham following Nuno’s arrival.

    Davinson Sanchez, Serge Aurier and Eric Dier could also be sold with replacements already signed up.
    Spurs will make an improved £22m offer for Bologna’s Japan defender Takehiro Tomiyasu after the Italians rejected their £18m bid.
    While Lyon’s Joachim Andersen, who impressed on loan at Fulham last season, is another target.

    Toby Alderweireld ‘tells Tottenham he wants to QUIT’ and Spurs could approve transfer exit to fund rebuild

    TOBY ALDERWEIRELD has reportedly told Tottenham he wants to quit the club this summer.The Belgian centre-half joined Spurs in 2015 from Atletico Madrid after impressing before that on loan at Southampton.

    He has played nearly 200 appearances for the North London side and helped them reach the Champions League final in 2019.
    Now The Athletic claims his time with Spurs may soon be over and that he is searching for a new side.
    Harry Kane’s future still remains unclear and this latest development will not help new boss Nuno Espirito Santo with his pre-season plans.
    Tottenham have been in the market for a new centre-half and reportedly had a £15.5million offer for Takehiro Tomiyasu rejected by Bologna.
    SunSport exclusively revealed last week that Spurs are confident they will land the Japanese defender this summer.
    The North London club felt their initial bid of £12.9m plus an extra £2.6m in add-ons would be enough to clinch the 22-year-old.
    But Bologna are holding out for an extra £1.5m for Tomiyasu, taking the price to £17.2m.
    They have also been keeping tabs on Sevilla’s Jules Kounde and Lyon’s ex-Fulham loanee Joachim Andersen.

    One potential destination for Alderweireld could be his hometown club Royal Antwerp.
    The 32-year-old has a tattoo of the city’s Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren cathedral on his right arm.
    Alderweireld is currently preparing to face Portugal this evening in the quarter finals of Euro 2020.
