      Mourinho to give Ryan Sessegnon Tottenham first-team chance after rebuffing Barcelona and Celtic loan transfer interest

      by

      RYAN SESSEGNON will be given a shot in the Spurs side next season after Jose Mourinho reportedly rebuffed huge loan requests.
      Barcelona and Celtic both came calling in search of a temporary move for the 20-year-old, according to The Athletic.

      Sessegnon made a £25million switch from Fulham after they were relegated last summer but failed to have the desired impact in his first season at Tottenham.
      The English youngster made just 12 first-team appearances after struggling with injury.
      He saw the manager who signed him, Mauricio Pochettino, sacked and replaced with Mourinho in November.
      Sessegnon is comfortable anywhere on the left-hand side and will be given more of a chance to shine in Mourinho’s starting XI in the upcoming campaign.

      Spurs have had plenty of interest in a loan move for the highly-rated England Under-21 international.

      Reports suggested he could be in line for a return to old club Fulham after Scott Parker’s side won promotion back to the Premier League in the Championship play-off final.
      Sessegnon made his name at Craven Cottage after bursting on to the scene as a 16-year-old.
      And his twin brother Steven still turns out for the West London side.

      But the report states Spurs also fielded interest from European big-hitters AC Milan, Ajax and Bayer Leverkusen.
      However, Spurs have got him on a strength and conditioning plan to try and bulk up and show he can excel under Mourinho this year.

      The club are not thought to be entertaining the thought of letting him leave.
      And he made a flying start to preparations for the new campaign after notching Spurs’ first goal in pre-season today.
      Sessegnon bagged a goal after just six minutes in a friendly match against League One Ipswich Town at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

      Tottenham braced for Serge Aurier transfer bids after AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen eye up right-back

      by

      TOTTENHAM are bracing themselves for transfer bids for Serge Aurier after Bayer Leverkusen reportedly joined the race.
      The right-back, 27, is also wanted by AC Milan in a summer swoop, according to Sky Sports.

      Milan technical director Paolo Maldini confirmed his club held talks with Aurier’s agent last year while reports suggest they may make another move this summer.
      Now Leverkusen have joined the race with Spurs thought to be open to selling the Ivorian if the right offer comes in.
      Aurier still has two seasons remaining on the five-year contract he signed at White Hart Lane in 2017.
      He arrived from Paris Saint-Germain for £22.5million but initially struggled for game time with Kieran Trippier the first choice.

      Even with Trippier sold, though, Mauricio Pochettino was not convinced enough to play him but he got a better run in the side under Jose Mourinho.
      Of his 83 Spurs appearances, 42 came last season including 33 in the Premier League.
      But while it was a better season on the pitch, the Aurier family suffered the tragic loss of Serge’s brother Christopher, who was shot dead in July.
      Should he stay at Spurs, he will continue to compete with Japhet Tanganga for a spot in the side after the young defender, who can play at centre-back or right-back, penned a new five-year deal.

      Juan Foyth – another versatile defender – is another option but he was frozen out by Mourinho and could leave, with Leeds interested in the Argentine.
      But Kyle Walker-Peters did depart the club as he made his loan to Southampton permanent.
      Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg moved in the opposite direction on the same day.

      Man City line up shock £40m transfer bid for Spurs star Harry Winks with Jose Mourinho willing to sell

      by

      PEP GUARDIOLA wants Manchester City to make a shock move for Harry Winks.
      The England midfielder is facing an uncertain future under Jose Mourinho at Tottenham – but his old rival Guardiola is a serious admirer of the player.

      Pep Guardiola wants Manchester City to make a shock move for Harry Winks
      Winks, 24, signed a new five-year contract with Spurs only last summer under Mauricio Pochettino.
      But the arrival of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Southampton is likely to see his first-team chances limited next term.
      Spurs are always reluctant to sell to big-six rivals but Mourinho is desperate to make more signings to put his own stamp on his squad and knows he needs to sell if there are to be any significant signings.
      Winks is believed to be one valuable asset who could be allowed to go, if Spurs attract a bid in excess of £40million.

      Despite Mourinho’s problems with £56m club-record signing Tanguy Ndombele, it is highly unlikely that the Frenchman would attract a bid for anything like the sum Spurs paid to sign him from Lyon last summer.
      Winks is seen as a Spanish-style midfielder, excellent in possession, and regarded as ‘very much a Pep player and not a Jose player’.
      Guardiola does have decent options in central midfield but is said to be intrigued by the prospect of developing Winks to his full potential.
      Winks was a regular starter for Spurs in the later stages of the season but the club fought hand to land Hojbjerg, despite stiff competition from Everton.

      And the Dane has been lined up for the deep-lying midfield role held by Winks.
      If Tottenham indicate they will allow Winks to go, there is likely to be strong interest from Spain and Italy.
      But clubs from those leagues would be less likely than City to make a bid which could tempt Spurs to sell.

      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.
