      Dele Alli set to stay at Tottenham and be denied shock PSG transfer as Mourinho has no intention of letting outcast go

      by

      DELE ALLI is set to stay at Tottenham with Jose Mourinho unwilling to let the forward join Paris Saint-Germain.
      England star Dele, 24, has been the subject of two loan bids from the Ligue 1 champions.

      The second was worth £3.5million and a third attempt to prise him from North London could be incoming today.

      But Spurs have no intention of letting him leave – despite falling out of favour with Jose Mourinho.
      Dele has played just 65 minutes of Tottenham’s first two Premier League games of the season.

      He was subbed off at half-time of the 1-0 defeat to Everton and came on with 20 minutes left of the 6-1 thrashing of Manchester United yesterday.
      Mourinho labelled Dele a “f***ing lazy guy” in an episode of Amazon’s All or Nothing documentary series on the club.
      PSG, looking to take advantage, had an initial loan offer of £1.5m rejected by Spurs.
      And the second attempt was knocked back too.

      The French team could come in again on transfer deadline day but it is believed it won’t prove third time lucky.

      Dele came off the bench and scored a penalty in their 7-2 win at home to Maccabi Haifa in the Europa League play-off last Thursday.
      Mourinho praised Dele’s second-half cameo and his attitude in training.
      He said: “I never had a problem with him. Very polite and educated, behaving well and training well.
      “If sometimes I want different things from him on the pitch that’s more about his qualities as his player.
      “He was on the bench, in a team and squad where it’s going to be difficult to play.”
      So it seems that there won’t be any old boys’ reunion for Alli at PSG.
      The French champs have been linked with a swoop for former Spurs star Christian Eriksen, who has struggled at Inter Milan.

      Sessegnon joins Hoffenheim on season-long loan transfer from Tottenham after being pushed down pecking order by Reguilon

      by

      RYAN SESSEGNON has joined Hoffenheim on a season-long loan deal from Tottenham.
      The England Under-21s star only joined Spurs last summer in a £25million deal from Fulham.

      But Sessegnon has found first-team action limited and – despite interest from the likes of Celtic – has opted to head to Germany for the 2020-21 season
      The ex-Cottagers star, 20, featured just 12 times last term – scoring once.
      And Sessegnon hasn’t played a single minute this season, thanks in no small part to the arrival of Sergio Reguilon.
      Hoffenheim confirmed the news of Sessegnon’s loan in a statement on their club website.

      The Bundesliga giants wrote: “Hoffenheim have signed 20-year-old Ryan Sessegnon from Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur.

      “The England U21 international is on loan until June 30, 2021.”
      Sessegnon revealed he opted to move to Hoffenheim thanks to their love of developing youth.

      The winger said: “[The club] stands for the successful training and development of young players.
      “I hope that the change will give me match experience in one of the best professional leagues in the world and I’m looking forward to the games in European competition.”

      Hoffenheim director of football Alexander Rosen added his delight at the deal.
      Rosen said: “Ryan Sessegnon is a very talented and fast winger with a strong left foot.
      “After the serious injuries suffered by Ermin [Bicakcic] and Stafy [Kostas Stafylidis], both of whom will not be available to us for several months, we were looking for a high-quality addition to our squad.
      “We are very happy to have found one in Ryan.”
      But one man not thrilled with the deal is former Fulham captain Danny Murphy.
      Speaking on talkSPORT, Murphy said: “That’s a strange one for me because a lot was expected of him when he joined.”

      Tottenham star Juan Foyth seals transfer move away to Villarreal on loan after signing new Spurs deal to 2023

      by

      TOTTENHAM defender Juan Foyth has joined Villarreal on loan.
      Foyth has featured sparingly for Spurs under Jose Mourinho and will head out on loan for the rest of the 2020-21 season to secure first-team football.

      Foyth has also signed a one-year extension to his Spurs contract which ties him to the club until 2023.
      However, Marca claims the deal to take the Argentine to Villarreal also includes an option for the Spanish side to buy the player for £13.6million.
      The move will see Foyth link up with former Arsenal manager Unai Emery, who is now in charge of the Spanish side.
      Emery had reportedly identified the 22-year-old centre-back as his main defensive target for the summer transfer window.

      Foyth is expected to be available for Villarreal’s next match against Valencia in two weeks’ time.
      In the meantime, he will join the Argentina squad this week for their World Cup qualifying matches against Ecuador and Bolivia.
      Foyth joined Tottenham from Estudiantes in 2017 and has made 32 appearances for the club.

      Spurs have also agreed to send Ryan Sessegnon on loan to Hoffenheim.

      Boss Mourinho has stated he wants to trim his squad down to 22 outfield players plus goalkeepers after the signings of Matt Doherty, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Gareth Bale, Sergio Reguilon and Carlos Vinicius this summer.
      However, the north London outfit are still on the hunt for a new centre-back before the transfer window closes on Monday.
      A deal for Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar is looking unlikely at this stage, but Spurs could make a formal offer for Chelsea’s Antonio Rudiger before the deadline.

      Tottenham reject second Dele Alli loan bid from PSG with Mourinho keen to keep star despite row rumours

      by

      TOTTENHAM want to keep Dele Alli – after snubbing Paris Saint-Germain’s second bid to sign him on loan.
      The French giants offered to pay Spurs £3.5million to secure the star’s services for the rest of the season.

      But the North Londoners have no intention of letting him leave – despite him falling out of favour with boss Jose Mourinho.
      Dele has played just 45 minutes of Premier League football this season after being subbed at half-time of Tottenham’s 1-0 home defeat by Everton on the opening day of the season.
      And he was not even on the bench for four of their seven games this term as Mourinho questioned his attitude.

      The Portuguese was also shown calling him a “f***ing lazy guy” in an episode of Amazon’s fly-on-the-ball documentary series.
      PSG, looking to take advantage, had an initial loan offer of £1.5m rejected by Spurs.
      The second improved bid has now also been turned down.
      It is believed to be a season loan only and not with a view to a permanent deal.

      But Spurs expect him to stay – after he came off the bench and scored a penalty in their 7-2 win at home to Maccabi Haifa in the Europa League play-off on Thursday.

      Tottenham will pay just £2.7m for Carlos Vinicius loan transfer as Benfica confirm move with £41m option to buy

      by

      TOTTENHAM will pay just £2.7million as a loan fee for Carlos Vinicius.
      The North London club have secured the signing of the Brazilian striker who will support main front man Harry Kane.

      Benfica confirmed the agreement was all done and Vinicius, 25, will fly to London today to complete his medical and all the paperwork before the official announcement is made.
      Spurs needed to sort out a work permit for the forward because he has no international caps but that was sealed on Thursday.
      The club – who were desperate for a striker this summer – have the option to make the transfer permanent next summer for around £41m.

      Benfica said in a statement: “Sport Lisboa e Benfica – Futebol, SAD informed the Securities Market Commission (CMVM) that it reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur for the loan of player Carlos Vinicius until the end of the 2020-21 sports season for an amount of 3 million euros.
      “The said agreement, communicated at 11:56pm on Thursday, includes a purchase option clause in the amount of 45 million euros, to which, if exercised, the amount paid for the loan will be deducted.
      “The agreement is dependent on the signing of the striker’s sports work contract with Tottenham Hotspur.”
      However, speaking after his side’s 7-2 win over Maccabi Haifa to confirm their spot in the Europa League, Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho refused to comment on Vinicius.

      He said: “No, I want you to ask me that question when it’s confirmed.

      “Nobody told me it’s done so I’m going to respect the situation, respect the player, respect Benfica and wait a little bit more.
      “Next time we see each other maybe I’m in conditions to answer.”
      Vinicius only signed for Benfica from Napoli for £15m a year ago but impressed in his debut season with the club.
      The Brazilian scored 24 goals in 47 appearances across all competitions.
      He is understood to have an £89m release clause in his Benfica contract, which runs until 2024.
      But the financial impact of coronavirus and Benfica missing out on Champions League football meant they were open to doing business.
      BRAZIL TO BENFICA
      Vinicius almost quit football aged 22 after failing to break through in the way his junior team-mates Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Barbosa did.
      But after spells with Napoli and Monaco in Europe, he found his best form in Portugal and won the Primeira Liga’s Golden Boot last season.
      Vinicius goes by the nickname V95 – in tribute to his idol Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as his squad number 95 that was chosen because he was born in 1995.
      Amusingly, a quick search on Google reveals V95 is also the name of a penis enlargement cream.
      But there’s nothing small about the 6ft 3ins star, who earned the nickname ‘The Beast’ in Portugal.

      Tottenham agree loan for Benfica’s Carlos Vinicius with view to £41m permanent transfer as Mourinho eyes Kane back-up

      by

      TOTTENHAM have reached a deal with Benfica over striker Carlos Vinicius.
      The North London club are desperate to land a forward to support Harry Kane before the transfer window closes on Monday.

      And Spurs agreed a move with Benfica for their front man, with the 25-year-old arriving at Tottenham today.
      Initially it will mean a season-long loan for Vinicius at White Hart Lane.
      But it is understood there will be a clause in the contract to make the transfer permanent for around £41million next summer.

      Vinicius only signed for Benfica from Napoli for £15m a year ago but impressed in his debut season with the club.
      The Brazilian scored 24 goals in 47 appearances across all competitions.
      He is understood to have an £89m release clause in his Benfica contract, which runs until 2024.
      But the financial impact of coronavirus and Benfica missing out on Champions League football mean they are open to doing business.

      At 6ft 3ins but with rapid speed, he is comfortable playing through the middle as a No9 or out wide and should be able to ease the burden on Kane.

      Boss Jose Mourinho has also been linked with Bournemouth’s Joshua King as well as Swiss star Haris Seferovic.
      And as revealed by SunSport, Spurs are in talks with Napoli over a £25m deal for Polish striker Arkadiusz Milik.
      The ex-Ajax frontman – who has also been linked to Manchester United – has scored 48 goals in 122 appearances for Gli Azzurri.
      Mourinho is confident he will get his wishes before deadline day ends.
      He said: “Yes, I want, I need a striker.
      “But I want to make it very, very clear that the club – the structure above me – knows that I need a striker and also wants a striker.
      “Are we going to get one? I honestly believe so. For the balance of the squad, the team needs it because at this moment the squad is getting very balanced, with different options for different positions.”

      Celtic make Ryan Sessegnon transfer approach with ‘several Premier League clubs’ also interested in Tottenham defender

      by

      CELTIC have made a move to sign Tottenham youngster Ryan Sessegnon, according to reports.
      The former Fulham winger, 20, has struggled since his £25million move to Spurs last summer.

      Sessegnon featured just 12 times last term – scoring once – and hasn’t played a single minute this season.
      Reports in Scotland now claim Celtic are hoping to rescue Sessegnon from his North London hell, having been signed by former boss Mauricio Pochettino.
      However, the report also states the Hoops are finding it difficult to negotiate the finances of the deal and face competition from “a number of Premier League clubs”.
      Scotland-based Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph tweeted: “Celtic made an approach for Spurs left-back Ryan Sessegnon.

      “But Sky Sports News understands the finances of a potential deal have proved problematic.
      “A number of Premier League clubs are also interested in the 20-year-old.”
      Last month, it was claimed Jose Mourinho would give Sessegnon a shot in the first team.

      The Portuguese boss was said to have rejected loan moves from the likes of Barcelona, such was his faith in the youngster.

      But even amidst a packed schedule – including two games, against Newcastle and Chelsea, in 48 hours – Mourinho is yet to give Sessegnon a run-out.
      Sessegnon’s chances at left-back will be limited after Mourinho brought in Sergio Reguilon, with Ben Davies and Danny Rose also on the books.
      And further up the pitch, Son Heung-min is the undoubted No1 left winger, with the likes of Gareth Bale, Lucas Moura, Steven Bergwijn and Erik Lamela all competing for minutes out wide.
      Old club Fulham have already been linked with a move for Sessegnon.
      However, co-owner Tony Khan admitted his side were in the market for a centre-back above all else, for now.
      The Cottagers have since been linked with a shock move for Inter Milan star – and Tottenham target – Milan Skriniar.
