      Man Utd blow as Tottenham enter transfer race for Real Madrid left-back Sergio Reguilon

      by

      TOTTENHAM are reportedly close to agreeing a deal for Real Madrid left-back Sergio Reguilon.
      The news will come as a blow to Manchester United who had been keen to bring the 23-year-old to Old Trafford.

      But according to The Athletic, it is Spurs who are in pole position to prise the Spanish international away from the Bernabeu.

      They state that Tottenham and Los Blancos are nearing an agreement for Reguilon that will see the player permanently joining the North London outfit.
      Zinedine Zidane is happy for the defender – who starred on loan at Sevilla last season – to leave as he has Marcelo and Ferland Mendy to count on.

      Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Real want to include a buy-back clause in Reguilon’s contract – something United were unwilling to accept.
      He tweeted: “Tottenham have a made an official bid to Real Madrid for Sergio Reguilon.
      “Manchester United are in talks with Real but *won’t* accept to pay €30m (£27.5m) and *won’t* accept any the ‘buy back clause’ asked by the Spanish club.
      “Today afternoon, Tottenham made an official bid for €30m (£27.5m) to Real for Reguilon.

      “#THFC have accepted also the “buy back clause” and the ‘pre-emption clause’ [refused both by #MUFC], so Real Madrid can match any other bid in the future to bring back Reguilon.

      “Reguilon deal is not completed yet – battle is on, but Tottenham have an agreement with Real Madrid and are now working to agree personal terms with the player.
      “Man United have the ‘ok’ by Reguilon, but there’s *no* agreement with Real. #THFC hope to convince him.”
      SunSport have also exclusively revealed how both Spurs and United are competing to sign Real outcast Gareth Bale on loan.

      Tottenham trying to re-sign Gareth Bale on loan transfer in desperate bid to stop him joining rivals Man Utd

      by

      TOTTENHAM are trying to re-sign Gareth Bale on loan – in a bid to stop him from joining Manchester United.
      Spurs chiefs fear United are closing in on a deal to take the Wales star from Real Madrid for the rest of the season.

      So they are frantically putting together a package to entice him back to North London.
      Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, who negotiated Bale’s sale to the Bernabeu in 2013 for a then-world record fee of £86million, is keen to make the deal happen.
      He reckons bringing the Welshman – whose shirts have been pulled from the Real shop – back would appease their fans and lift the gloom that has descended on the club since Sunday’s 1-0 home defeat by Everton.
      But Tottenham know they now have to move quickly as rivals United are attempting to seal a season-long loan for the former Southampton trainee – who can leave Real Madrid after being frozen out by their manager Zinedine Zidane.

      The Spanish giants don’t care which club takes Bale, 31, off their hands for the campaign.
      Bale is prepared to leave Madrid on loan this summer but is keen to remain on his mega £650,000-a-week wages.
      As a result, both United – who could get Bale into their team any one of five ways – and Spurs hope Real Madrid will still continue paying part of his salary in a bid to ease their crippling wage bills.
      Spurs also have their £1billion arena still to pay off and that has so far restricted their activity in this transfer window to two £15m signings in midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and defender Matt Doherty and a Bosman in goalkeeper Joe Hart.

      Mourinho – who told Bale back in 2017 he wanted to sign him – has made no secret of his and the club’s desire to bring in another striker to take the goalscoring burden off Harry Kane.
      But the addition of playmaker Bale – who netted 55 times in 204 appearances in all competitions for them in six years after signing from Southampton for £7m in 2007 – would undoubtedly add goals to the Spurs team.
      SunSport told you how United had been looking at a one-year deal for Bale.

      And there is the option of a second season on the table if all goes well.
      Bale admitted earlier this month he wants to find a way to leave the Spanish champions but claimed the club had blocked his attempts in the past.
      He said he was unhappy Real had a late change of heart to stop him moving to China, and that club bosses had also stood in his way of other chances to get away since then.

      Jose Mourinho’s desperate striker chase takes new twist as Tottenham plot transfer swoop for Southampton’s Danny Ings

      by

      TOTTENHAM’S desperate search for a striker has seen them turn their attention to Southampton’s Danny Ings, according to shock reports.
      Jose Mourinho is doing all he can to find back up for Harry Kane – especially given how lacking in ideas Spurs looked in the 1-0 defeat to Everton.

      The Portuguese claimed before his side’s season-opening loss that he was confident a new forward will arrive during this window.

      What is not so clear is whether that will be on a permanent or loan basis.
      Spurs have a “strong, long-held” interest in 28-year-old England striker Ings, say Football London.

      The 28-year-old former Liverpool man scored an impressive 22 goals for the Saints last season after overcoming injuries.
      But while Tottenham reportedly plot a move, the club’s transfer bosses are said to doubt they can land Ings this summer.
      Should that not work out then Mourinho – who slammed his side’s “lazy press” against the Toffees – looks ready to raid the continent for a new signing.
      Metz striker Habib Diallo has been on his radar since January.

      The 25-year-old Senegalese front man is said to be eager to make the move to the Premier League, while Benfica’s Carlos Vinicius is another who has caught the eye of the ex-Porto manager.

      Torino skipper Andrea Belotti, 26, has also entered plans after scoring 22 goals in all competitions last season.
      Napoli forward Arkadiusz Milik is definitely on Tottenham’s radar, however a £28million fee and big wages are putting off financially prudent Spurs.
      While Trabzonspor president Ahmet Agaoglu said Spurs are interested in signing Alexander Sorloth, on loan at the Turkish club from Crystal Palace.
      Tottenham are also looking at RB Salzburg’s Zambian hitman Patson Daka.
      Asked recently about bringing in a partner for Kane, Mourinho said: “Yes, I want, I need a striker.
      “The club — the structure above me — knows I need a striker and also wants a striker.
      “Are we going to get one? I believe so.
      “The team needs it because at this moment the squad is getting very balanced, with different options for different positions.”

      West Brom close in on Troy Deeney as they ‘make progress’ in transfer for Watford legend

      And the 32-year-old was not involved in Friday night’s opening 1-0 win over Middlesbrough.
      Football Insider reports the Baggies have ‘made progress’ towards agreeing the terms of the deal but are ‘still working’ on getting it over the line.
      Slaven Bilic’s Premier League new boys appear to have overtaken Tottenham in the race to secure Deeney’s services.

      Spurs emerged as shock contenders to bring Deeney back to the top flight with the club only having ONE striker.
      Jose Mourinho is desperately searching for a forward to provide cover for Harry Kane with young gun Troy Parrott on loan at Millwall.
      Daniel Levy has also looked abroad to bolster the ranks.
      But reports suggest Torino have rejected a loan offer for Andrea Belotti.

      Spurs are thought to have wanted the Italy international on loan for this season but with an option to sign him for £46.3million next summer.

      However, Gianluca Di Marzio reports Torino would only let the 26-year-old leave if a fee was set in stone.
      A move to nearby Tottenham would be an easy one for Deeney after spending ten years in Hertfordshire.
      But it appears West Brom have the edge in the battle to land the former Walsall man as he begins the final year of his Watford contract.

      Torino reject Tottenham loan offer for Belotti with £46.3m option to buy and will only sell him on a permanent transfer

      by

      TORINO have rejected Tottenham’s loan offer for Andrea Belotti, according to reports.
      It is thought Spurs wanted to take the striker on a temporary basis for this season with the option to sign him for £46.3million next summer.

      But according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Torino would only want to let Belotti go if they could guarantee a transfer fee.
      So a loan with an obligation to buy at the end of the season may be a more likely option for a deal to get done.
      Belotti, 26, is understood to have a £92.6m release clause in his Torino contract.

      But that clause, valid until June 2022, is only valid for teams outside of Italy.
      The Italian joined Torino from Palermo in 2015 and has scored 92 goals in 192 appearances for the Serie A club.
      Belotti also has nine strikes in 28 international caps for the Italian national team.
      Tottenham have already brought in keeper Joe Hart, defender Matt Doherty and midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

      Jose Mourinho is keen to add another centre forward – although any new signing knows they will have to play as back-up to Harry Kane.

      Napoli’s Polish ace Arkadiusz Milik is believed to be his No 1 target but he is also looking at RB Salzburg’s Zambian hitman Patson Daka and Metz’s Senegal striker Habib Diallo.
      Mourinho said: “Yes, I want, I need a striker.
      “The club — the structure above me — knows I need a striker and also wants a striker.
      “Are we going to get one? I believe so.
      “The team needs it because at this moment the squad is getting very balanced, with different options for different positions.”

      It came after 23-year-old Bergwijn – who played with the midfielder at Ajax – sent his international team-mate messages about moving to Tottenham.
      Van de Beek, 23, said: “I have to say that he just sent me a message: ‘Are you coming to us or not?’
      “We often have contact. We used to play together at Ajax for a long time and have actually always kept in touch.
      “I think we will see each other again soon.

      “But I chose to join United. It’s a fantastic step, and I think now is the right time.”
      Van de Beek provides Old Trafford boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with his first signing of the window.
      But it left former Arsenal player turned pundit Merson scratching his head, with United already filled with options in central midfield. 
      With Premier League rivals having already strengthen their squads, United were accused of rushing into business. 

      Merson told the Daily Star: “Donny van de Beek looks like a panic buy at Manchester United. I don’t get it. 
      “They just spent £40m on a position where they are already strong and how does he play with Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes?
      “You have to have someone who can play the holding role. 
      “That signing looked to me like: ‘Oh we haven’t bought anyone yet, let’s go and buy someone, who can we get?'”

      Tottenham transfer blow as Barcelona block Jose Mourinho’s move for Lucas De Vega after £1.8m bid rejected

      by

      TOTTENHAM have reportedly pulled out of the race for Lucas de Vega after Barcelona rejected a £1.8million bid.
      The 20-year-old impressed on loan at Cartagena last season and has been eyed for a regular spot in the Catalans’ B team.

      Jose Mourinho had also picked up on de Vega’s ability and tested the water with a bid in the week.
      However, according to Sport, Barcelona have asked for around double the £1.8m offered – in the knowledge Spurs would pull out of the deal.
      Barcelona have struggled to keep their top prospects in recent years with Manchester United newboy Marc Jurado and Instagram-famous midfielder Xavi Simons just two youngsters to leave.
      La Masia did send teen sensation Ansu Fati to the first-team last year but star talents have been few and far between lately, contributing to the angst around the crisis club.

      With next season’s third-tier Segunda B season coming ahead of a rejigging of the Spanish lower-league system, the club are desperate for Barcelona B to achieve promotion.
      Therefore coach Garcia Pimienta has been allowed to keep de Vega and make him a focal point of the Blaugrana reserves.

      Tottenham get their season underway at home to Everton on Sunday, September 13 with four new signings under their belt.
      Joe Hart, Matt Doherty and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg have all signed up, plus Wigan youngster Alfie Devine.

      Milan Skriniar has reportedly been identified as a fifth summer buy.
      The Inter Milan centre-back could replace Juan Foyth after the Argentine was transfer-listed by Mourinho, along with Serge Aurier and Tanguy Ndombele.
