      But he then got sidelined for three weeks with an ankle injury, returning just ten days ago.
      Arsenal rate him as a top target and one to bring competition for the wingers like Gabriel Martinelli.
      Gunners boss Mikel Arteta spent a season with Sociedad from 2004-05 and still has an excellent relationship with the club.
      Arsenal scouts will attend the Basque derby tonight in Bilbao with Tottenham also set to be there.

      Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou likens Barrenetxea to Jota, the Portuguese wideman formerly of Celtic.
      Postecoglou is desperate to add another attacker to his frontline having suffered with injuries in his squad this season.
      The Aussie has given green light to press ahead in a deal for Barrenetxea.
      Tottenham and Arsenal value the fact the forward can operate from both the left and right wing.

      He can even play centrally as a second striker due to his pace and skill, drawing comparisons to Jesus Navas.
      Barrenetxea – whose mum Azu was a basketball coach – has scored four goals in 22 games in La Liga this season.
      The forward made his Sociedad debut aged just 16 in 2018 to become the first player born in the 21st century to play in LaLiga.
      And the youngster was even spotted riding home from one game on a public bicycle – having been too young to drive. More

      Henry then turned to Chowdhury and asked: “You are a Tottenham fan right?’ To which his co-host confirmed.

      One said: “Gotta love the King.”

      With Messi in Spain, they won the LaLiga title twice and in 2009 became Champions League winners together.

      Conor Gallagher unlikely to quit Chelsea with Spurs circling… but England midfielder not part of Poch’s long-term plan

      by

      CONOR GALLAGHER is now “unlikely” to leave Chelsea this month – but Tottenham will not give up on signing the player.SunSport has learned that Mauricio Pochettino has made clear that selling Gallagher, 23, this month would be a mistake.

      It means Spurs are unlikely to get their wish of a January transfer switch but they will come back in for him over the summer. 
      Our source said: “Tottenham want to sign Conor, but there’s a massive timing issue at play.
      “Chelsea had been open-minded to letting the player go a couple of months ago and Spurs thought the deal was in place. 
      “But in recent weeks Conor has become of vital importance to the team and the manager thinks letting him go now could lead to major problems in the second half of the season. 
      Read More on Chelsea
      “He’s not necessarily a part of Pochettino’s long-term plans but he is seen as a vital part of the project for the time being.
      “Gallagher is in no rush to leave the club and wants to help them to turn the season around.
      “He is also massively popular with the fans and the board will fear a massive backlash if they let him go and he takes Spurs, one of Chelsea’s biggest rivals, into the Champions League while they are left stuck in the middle of the table.”
      Ange Postecoglou wants to secure a midfielder in the break between Sunday’s trip to Manchester United and the FA Cup fourth-round game against Manchester City.

      Gallagher has been a keen man for Chelsea this season, outperforming expensive signings
      He wants an all-action star who can be in imposing presence in the middle but also alternate with James Maddison in a more advanced position if required.
      Gallagher has been the player who best fits the profile, and Chelsea have previously indicated they are willing to do a deal for the right price.
      That could be up to £50million, although there are more potential complications. 
      “Conor is basically the player Poch trusts most for his tactical ideas, he is perfect for the 4-3-3 system.
      “So many others still need to get used to that system, and Pochettino is reluctant to let such a player go during such an inconsistent period of results so early in his time.”
      Gallagher is enjoying the greater responsibility at Chelsea, having captained the side in the absence of Reece James and Ben Chilwell. More

      The deal is understood to be valued at around £21.5million plus add-ons.
      Spurs outcast Djed Spence will move the other way as he will join Genoa on loan for the remainder of the season.
      Dragusin had been linked with a move to Bayern Munich, but has chosen the to join Tottenham instead.
      He’s reported to have turned down double the money from the Bavarians in favour of making the move to the Premier League.

      Dragusin is said to have left his agent in disbelief after making the decision, but is keen to progress his career over opting for financial benefits.
      The star’s agent, Florin Manea, admitted that an offer from Bayern was submitted while they were on the way to the airport.
      He told Romanian news outlet GSP: “We stopped dead. We were on our way to the airport. I said we have to think carefully and evaluate.
      “Bayern are one of the biggest clubs. I can’t believe I turned Bayern down! But that’s the decision.

      “I took it with Radu and his family. I informed Bayern that this was the decision, that they came in at the last minute and that it was difficult to change our decision.
      “Maybe in the future, we will get there. We are a little overwhelmed.
      “To turn down Bayern… But it was ultimately what Radu and his family wanted.
      “He is happy. We’re going to Tottenham.”
      Menea revealed that the offer was substantially more than he is set to receive at Spurs.
      He said: “There was quite a difference [between offers]. Almost half as much, if not more, but never mind the amounts.
      “They were never a priority. We always choose the steps we think are right. I think he weighed that he always wanted to get to the Premier League.”
      Spurs welcomed their new man to the club on social media and revealed he will wear the number six on the back of his shirt.
      Dragusin is the second new arrival to Ange Postecoglou’s side this month after they sealed a deal for Chelsea flop Timo Werner on loan from RB Leipzig.

      Dier has hardly featured under Ange Postecoglou, starting just once this season.
      With Tottenham beating Bayern to a deal for Genoa defender Radu Dragusin on Wednesday, Dier could be on the verge of sealing a Spurs exit.
      According to Sky Sport Germany, Dier has emerged as one of the Bundesliga giants’ top targets.
      He adds that Bayern would pay £3.5million for the out-of-favour ace.

      And that Dier could agree an 18 month contract, with Bayern possessing an option to extend by a further 12 months.
      The defender joined Tottenham from Sporting Lisbon in a £4m deal in 2014.
      He has gone on to play 364 times for Spurs, including in the 2019 Champions League final.
      During his time at Tottenham he has also earned 49 England caps, going to the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

      While he has been heavily linked with a move to Bayern, Dier trained with Spurs as normal on Wednesday.
      In addition to Dragusin’s imminent arrival, Tottenham have announced the loan signing of Timo Werner from RB Leipzig.
      Upon joining Spurs, Werner said: “One-and-a-half years ago I left England, I watched the Premier League, not too much to follow every single club but Tottenham was always a club which I watched.
      “When I joined my old club, I said I wanted to be a winner and I wanted to win titles at the end, and in the end we won the Champions League so I think it shouldn’t be too bad to say that I’ve come here to also win titles and to win something.”

      Timo Werner’s starting Dream Team price revealed – what will German striker bring to Tottenham?

      by

      GUESS who’s back?Tottenham have acted fast to supply Ange Postecoglou with recruits in the January transfer window by securing Timo Werner on loan until the end of the season.
      With several key players unavailable through injury or international duty, Spurs’ squad is in need of replenishment if they are to continue to compete at the top end of the table and the temporary acquisition of the German forward represents a signal of intent.

      An interesting prospectCredit: Dream Team
      Werner will be added to Dream Team today with a starting price of £3million.
      At such an affordable price it’s worth analysing his viability and potential in full – just what will be bring to Dream Team this time around?
      Many Dream Team gaffers will remember Werner as a Chelsea flop but it may surprise some to learn that the 27-year-old averaged a goal or assist every other game during his two seasons at Stamford Bridge.
      He was considerably more productive than many give him credit for but there’s no denying his Premier League record was thoroughly underwhelming.
      Having arrived in West London with a reputation as one of Europe’s best goalscorers and Germany’s first-choice No9, Werner mustered only ten goals in 56 top flight appearances.
      Werner struggled in the Premier League last time aroundCredit: GETTY
      He fared better in the domestic cups and generally saved his best performances for Europe – he made a substantial contribution to Chelsea’s most recent Champions League success – but his ineffectiveness in the Premier League is the prevailing memory most fans have of his time in England.
      Most read in Dream Team
      Like Darwin Nunez (£4.1m), Werner lacks nothing in terms of effort and dynamism but his threat is often undermined by frustratingly wasteful finishing.
      In 2020/21, no player under-performed against their xG more than Werner in the Premier League – he edged out Neal Maupay (£2.1m) for that unwanted crown.
      Even during his first successful spell at RB Leipzig, where he made his name, it wasn’t uncommon for him to squander golden chances.
      In contrast, Son Heung-min (£4.8m) is statistically one of the most efficient finishers of the modern era.
      Any Spurs fan hoping the German forward will fill the void left by their captain all the while South Korea are active in the Asian Cup may need to temper their expectations.
      Werner’s form has been poor of late but perhaps a fresh start is what he needsCredit: Rex

      That being said, Werner is a willing runner and his work rate should lend itself to Postecoglou’s high-paced brand of attacking football.
      Regular Bundesliga viewers have been less than impressed with his performances this season but his potential shouldn’t be overlooked.
      Werner scored 95 goals in 159 games during his first spell with RB Leipzig and he averages a goal every 153.7 minutes at international level over a seven-year stretch.
      Postecoglou has teased the best form out of several Spurs players already but whether he can rejuvenate Werner is another task entirely.

      One thing’s for sure, it would be a brave Dream Team manager that backed Werner immediately without a look at him in action.
      Spurs face Manchester United, Manchester City and Brentford before the end of the month.

      Radu Dragusin flying to London to complete Tottenham transfer as Djed Spence swap deal agreed despite late hijacking

      by

      TOTTENHAM have agreed a deal for Genoa defender Radu Dragusin.Spurs’ offer of £21.5milllion plus Djed Spence on loan looked set to get the transfer over the line.

      Dragusin has attracted attention following his impressive displays for Genoa
      But German champions Bayern then made an improved offer of £26.7m as they looked to steal him away from Ange Postecoglou.
      However Spurs have now reached “total agreement” with Genoa as their offer was accepted overnight.
      Dragusin is expected to travel to London on Wednesday morning to complete the move.
      The deal is worth £21.5m plus £4.3m in add-ons.

      As part of the transfer, right-back Spence will join Genoa until the end of the season after his Leeds loan was terminated.
      Tottenham will still pay Spence’s wages after the player was convinced of the temporary move to Serie A.
      It came after Leeds boss Daniel Farke was unimpressed with the 23-year-old’s attitude, and it is understood there was little interest from Championship clubs borrowing Spence this month.
      The loan to Genoa includes an option to sign the wing-back permanently for £8.6m in the summer.

      Should Dragusin complete his move before midday on Friday he could make his Premier League debut at Manchester United on Sunday.
      It is a huge coup for Postecoglou who always prioritised a new centre-back in this window to bolster his options.
      Full-backs Ben Davies and Emerson Royal have had to play in the middle of defence while first-choice pair Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero have been injured in recent months.
      Ashley Phillips, 18, who signed from Blackburn for £2m in the summer, was deemed not ready and loaned out to Plymouth earlier this week.
      And Eric Dier is set to join Bayern Munich after a decade in North London.
      Dragusin made his professional debut for Juventus in 2020 but struggled to establish himself as a regular first team player.
      He was subsequently loaned out three times to Sampdoria, Salernitana and Genoa.
      The defender completed a permanent move to Genoa in January of last year and has made 62 appearances.
      Dragusin will be Tottenham’s second signing of the January window after they brought Timo Werner in on loan from RB Leipzig. More
