      Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg set for dream Tottenham transfer after Southampton accept new bid of £20m plus add-ons

      by

      PIERRE-EMILE HOJBJERG is set to get his dream move to Tottenham at last – after the North Londoners upped their bid.
      Saints are understood to have accepted a fee of around £20million plus add-ons for the wantaway Dane.

      Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is set to get his dream move to Tottenham at last
      While the South-Coast club have also agreed a £12m deal to bring full-back Kyle Walker-Peters the other way.
      Hojbjerg, 25, was up for sale after making it clear he would not extend his contract, which had one more year to run.
      He always had his heart set on Spurs, despite interest from Everton.
      There were fears he would miss out on the switch to Jose Mourinho’s side with Spurs refusing to stump up the required cash.

      But an agreement has now been reached and a deal is expected to be concluded over the weekend.

      Meanwhile, Saints always wanted to bring in Walker-Peters, who spent the second half of the campaign on loan at St Mary’s.
      They did not want to be held to ransom over the 23-year-old though and were linked to alternatives in Nottingham Forest’s Matty Cash and West Ham’s Ryan Fredericks.
      But a switch has now been agreed and KWP is now set to be Saints player in the coming days.

      Harry Kane ‘has got to leave Spurs next season’ if Jose Mourinho’s side remain trophyless, blasts Jamie O’Hara

      by

      JAMIE O’HARA has urged Harry Kane to leave Spurs next season if Jose Mourinho’s side are unable to break their trophy drought.
      The former Tottenham midfielder reckons Kane, 27, will give the North Londoners one more season before he moves to a club where he has a better chance of winning trophies.

      Jamie O’Hara says Harry Kane “has got to leave Spurs next season” if Jose Mourinho’s side remain trophyless
      Kane has established himself as one of the best in the world after scoring 188 goals in just 287 games for Tottenham.
      But the England star is yet to lift a piece of silverware during his professional career.
      There have been suggestions that Kane has become disillusioned with the lack of success at Spurs.
      The striker fuelled transfer talk in May as he admitted he was “ambitious” and not prepared to stay “for the sake of it.”

      And O’Hara reckons a major trophy would be the only thing stopping Spurs’ golden boy jumping ship.

      He told talkSPORT: “He’s 27 and if he doesn’t do it next season, I think he has got to leave. Spurs need to win a trophy next season,
      “[League Cup?] No, I don’t think so.
      “I think if you win the FA Cup and get in the top four, you keep Harry Kane.

      “If you just get in the top four next season and you don’t win a trophy, I think it’s time that Harry Kane moved on.”
      Boss Mourinho recently received assurances from chairman Daniel Levy that the club will NOT have to sell the star striker this summer.

      Manchester United have been tipped to make a move for Kane this summer to pair him up with top target and England team-mate Jadon Sancho.
      But Juventus want him so he can forge a prolific partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo in Italy.

      AC Milan chief Paolo Maldini confirms the club are in transfer talks to sign Tottenham ace Serge Aurier

      by

      AC MILAN are reportedly keeping tabs on Tottenham right-back Serge Aurier.
      The defender, 27, joined from Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 – and still has two years left on his current contract.

      1

      AC Milan have expressed an interest in Serge Aurier
      Milan technical director Paolo Maldini confirmed on Saturday that the club had held talks with Aurier’s agent last year.

      Before the Rossoneri finished the season with a 3-0 victory over Cagliari to nab sixth place in Serie A, he said: “We spoke to his agent last year. 
      “We think about ending the season well, then in these three weeks we have to operate on the market.”
      Italian sports journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Aurier is Milan’s main right-back target this summer.

      The Ivorian has been resurgent under Jose Mourinho having been frozen out under Mauricio Pochettino earlier this season.
      He has scored once and added five assists in 33 games in the top-flight, and has reportedly turned heads at Monaco also.
      Former Spurs transfer chief Paul Mitchell is now at the Ligue 1 club – having joined from RB Leipzig in June.

      And Mitchell has made Aurier one of his top targets for the summer transfer window, according to Sky Sports.

      The defender also recently revealed he dreams of returning to Les Parisiens and ending his career with the French giants.
      It is understood Spurs value the Ivorian at around £22m having paid PSG £23million for him in 2017.

      Tottenham insists £65m flop Tanguy Ndombele not on chopping block despite Barcelona and Inter Milan interest

      by

      SPURS say they are not looking to dump £65million flop Tanguy Ndombele.
      Inter Milan want to offer the France star an escape route after his miserable debut season in England.

      1

      Tottenham say they are not looking to dump £65million flop Tanguy Ndombele
      But Spurs have no plans to sell the midfielder, 23, who has struggled since his club record switch from Lyon last summer.
      Form and fitness restricted Ndombele to just 12 Premier League starts and he failed to impress new boss Jose Mourinho, missing the final three matches of the season with a hamstring strain.
      Barcelona are also said to be keen but Tottenham say they have not held talks with any clubs and are  willing to give Ndombele another chance to prove his worth next term.
      Spurs chairman Daniel Levy knows selling him would be too expensive.

      The club would be unlikely to recoup all of the over-inflated fee they paid for him.
      And they would also have to pay up or come up with a deal to settle the remaining five years of his six-year, £130,000-a-week contract.

      Spurs would then have to sign a replacement on similar terms at least and it   could all end up costing them more than £100m.
      And with a new £1billion stadium — not to mention the need to pay off a £175m bridging loan from the Bank of England to see them through the corona crunch —  that is money Tottenham simply do not have right now.

      So they are having to keep faith with Ndombele in the hope he comes good or decides to chuck in a transfer request and waive payments.

      Tottenham teen Troy Parrott set for season-long loan transfer to Championship Millwall

      by

      MILLWALL are closing in on a season-long loan for Tottenham’s Republic of Ireland strike starlet Troy Parrott.
      Spurs boss Jose Mourinho has agreed to throw his teen hitman to the Championship Lions next term.

      The South Londoners hope to finalise the deal with the youngster today before announcing it next week.
      Parrott, 18, is one of the most highly-rated prospects in Tottenham’s academy.
      The Dublin-born ace won his first cap for his country – in their 3-1 win over New Zealand in November – before he made his Prem debut as a sub in Spurs’ 5-0 thrashing of Burnley a month later.
      After turning 18 in February he signed a new three-and-a-half year deal with the North London club and many of their fans were hoping he would be given a crack at first-team football next season.

      But Mourinho – who criticised the youngster’s attitude after taking over as boss in November – believes the rookie needs to toughen up and gain more life-experience before he is ready to play for Tottenham in the Prem.
      So the Special One has rubberstamped his kid’s secondment to South Bermondsey – despite offers from a number of other clubs.

      Jose Mourinho with striker Parrott who he plans to loan out
      Mourinho gave the thumbs-up after learning that his star striker Harry Kane benefited from a 2012 loan stint at the Lions.
      The England captain has said his spell at the Den “turned him into a man.”

      Mourinho hopes it will do the same for Parrott – regarded as the hottest young forward at Tottenham since Kane.
      Parrott, who has been inundated with loan offers from clubs in the Premier League, Championship and across Europe, is also keen on joining Millwall after speaking with Kane.
      The promising striker and his representatives are also pleased with the way the Lions have dealt with the deal.
      Millwall finished eighth in the Championship this season, narrowly missing out on the play-offs.
      Lions boss Gary Rowett wanted to pair Parrott with Wigan’s Wales forward Kieffer Moore in a dream partnership next term.

      Moore held talks with the Lions this week after they had a £2million bid for him accepted by the Latics.
      But Millwall fear he prefers a move to Cardiff, whose manager Neil Harris tried to sign him twice while in charge of the Lions.
      Preston are also interested but it appears the player now has his heart set on the Bluebirds.

      Leeds lining up £15m offer for Tottenham defender Juan Foyth… whether Bielsa lands Ben White from Brighton or not

      by

      LEEDS are lining up a £15million swoop for Tottenham defender Juan Foyth – regardless of whether they land Ben White.
      Elland Road boss Marcelo Bielsa believes his fellow Argentinian would strengthen his newly-promoted squad for the club’s long-awaited return to the Premier League next season.

      2

      Foyth is set to quit Spurs after falling out of the first-team picture under new boss Jose Mourinho.
      And he would relish the chance to work under compatriot Bielsa, stating: “Bielsa is one of the best coaches in the world and it would be nice to be coached by him.”
      The 22-year-old was signed from Estudiantes by previous manager Mauricio Pochettino in August 2017.
      But he has not started a match for Tottenham since December 28, when Mourinho hauled him off at half-time of their 2-2 draw at Norwich.

      The player has seen Japhet Tanganga, 20, leapfrog above him in the pecking order at Spurs.
      Bielsa is looking to bolster his Leeds squad after guiding them to the Championship title – which will see them back in the top flight after a 16-year absence.
      The club are trying desperately to sign Brighton centre-back White in a £20m deal after he starred for them on loan this season but the Seagulls do not want to sell to a potential relegation rival.
      Foyth can operate in the centre of defence or at right-back – where he has won the most recent of his ten caps for Argentina.

      The Tottenham man’s versatility would be a great asset to Leeds in their fight to retain their Premier League status.
      Foyth has made 32 appearances for the North Londoners in all competitions, scoring once.
      Boca Juniors are also interested in signing him, but he insisted last month that he did not want to return to Argentina.

      Philippe Coutinho’s agent confirms he wants Premier League return with Arsenal and Tottenham linked with transfer

      by

      PHILIPPE COUTINHO wants a returns to the Premier League, according to his agent.
      Kia Joorabchian confirmed the news that the former Liverpool star is eyeing up a return to England, with both Arsenal and Tottenham linked with a move.

      1

      He told talkSPORT: “Because the Champions League is going to run all the way until August 23, I think it will be difficult for players like Coutinho to make any commitment or move until that date.
      “He has the Champions League at the moment and they have to qualify for the next round [against Chelsea], and then he could play Barcelona, believe it or not.
      “After the Champions League, it’s not been a secret that he wants to come back to the Premier League if he can; he loves playing in the Premier League and is adored in the Premier League.
      “It is one of his priorities… but he is also not against staying at Barcelona, so it is very much open.”

      It was previously reported that the Barcelona flop was likely to sign for one of Arsenal, Leicester City or Spurs this summer.
      On the subject of which clubs were in the frame, he added: “There is much genuine interest in Philippe because he is a great player and a big success. There is always interest.”

      Joorabchian fuelled talk of a return to the English top-flight last month.
      He discussed Coutinho’s future on talkSport: “We’re still waiting until the season finishes before we start talking about anything in terms of transfers.

      “I’ve always said he loves to play in the Premier League.
      “He enjoyed his time very much and if the opportunity arises to come back to the Premier League, whether it be this year or in the future, he’s definitely looking at that.”
      The Brazilian playmaker has spent the 2019/20 season on loan at Bayern Munich.
      He has signed a deal to remain with the German giants for the conclusion of the Champions League in August.

      But it appears he has not done enough to secure a permanent move.
      The ex-Anfield No10 moved to Barcelona in a massive £142million deal back in January 2018.
      But he failed to deliver at the Nou Camp before being shipped out on loan last summer.
      And it is unlikely that he will be able to force himself into Quique Setien’s plans and is assessing his options elsewhere, with a return to England high on his wishlist.
      Coutinho bagged nine goals and assisted a further eight in 34 Bundesliga appearances this campaign, showing glimpses of his former self.
      After Leicester and Spurs both secured Europa League qualification on the Prem’s final day, they are thought to be realistic potential destinations for the 28-year-old.

      Reports suggested Coutinho initially turned down an approach from Arsenal over fears they would not stump up his desired wages.
      But a move to join Mikel Arteta’s side remains on the cards ahead of the FA Cup final against Chelsea this weekend.
      Former Inter Milan man Coutinho is believed to be taking time out to consider his next move before making a decision after the end of Bayern’s European run.
