      Returning Spurs star Rodon faces a crunch summer under Ange Postecoglou after disappointing loan

      by

      JOE RODON faces a crunch summer at Tottenham but Wales want a say in the next step of his career path.The Spurs defender, 25, will return to Hotspur Way for pre-season under new boss Ange Postecoglou on the back of a poor season-long loan spell with Rennes in Ligue 1.

      Rodon made 21 appearances for the French club – but only seven of those came after last November’s World Cup.
      Rennes did not take up the option of signing the ex-Swansea centre-back in a £18million permanent deal.
      And that has left his club future uncertain as ex-Celtic chief Postecoglou takes over in North London.
      Rodon has been a mainstay for Wales and the 37-cap star performed well against Croatia and Latvia in March despite his club woes.

      But the defender looked off the pace in an error-strewn display in this month’s 4-2 Euro 2024 qualifying humiliation at home to Armenia as a lack of regular football caught up with him.
      Rodon produced a better display in the 2-0 loss in Turkey as Wales played with ten men for 59 minutes following Joe Morrell’s red card.
      Now a decision needs to be made in the coming weeks on his club home for next season.
      Wales boss Robert Page said: “He will want to play games because I know him as a character. He’ll want to play week in, week out.

      “That’s up to the club now. I’d imagine he will do a pre-season there and then they will make a decision on what’s best for him next year.
      “If we can have a little bit of input in that then great.”
      Rodon joined Spurs in an initial £11million deal, rising to £15million, from Swansea in October 2020. More

      And German newspaper Sport Bild have since claimed Kane has reached an agreement in principle with Bayern.
      However, Sky Sports Germany claim that it has already been turned down as it falls short of Daniel Levy’s £100m asking price.
      And talkSPORT have reported that Spurs are willing to reject ANY transfer offer that is submitted.
      Spurs fans have been quick to blast the Bundesliga giants following the announcement of the bid, with many claiming that it is far too small.

      One person tweeted: “Bayern would be insulted if Spurs tabled a bid like this.”
      Another added: “£70m you must be joking.”

      While a fourth joked: “How much will you offer for his other foot? @FCBayern?”

      On Tuesday, it was revealed that Bayern Munich had set their sights on England’s all-time top goalscorer.
      And they were handed a boost when Kane admitted that the Allianz Arena was his preferred destination.
      Manchester United and Real Madrid have also expressed an interest in signing the striker, who has just one year left on his contract.
      The Red Devils have been pushing to sign him for months, but Tottenham’s reluctance to sell their star man to a Premier League rival has seen his price tag increase.
      Spurs chief Levy could feel more inclined to sell Kane to a European side.
      Real Madrid considered a swoop for the 29-year-old earlier this month following the departure of Karim Benzema.

      by

      Now they are embarking on a new chapter after Postecoglou, 57, succeeded Antonio Conte as the Lilywhites’ permanent boss.
      Lucas Moura has already left after his contract expired.
      And he could be joined by as many as ten other unwanted players in Postecoglou’s squad.
      According to The Mail, Davinson Sanchez, Japhet Tanganga, Joe Rodon and Sergio Reguilon are set for loan or permanent moves as Spurs look to get rid of their outcast defenders.

      Midfielder Harry Winks is another expected to be released as his contract runs out at the end of the month.
      And youngster Alfie Devine is in line to be farmed out on loan in search of more game time.
      Giovani Lo Celso and Tanguy Ndombele, who were on loan at Villarreal and Napoli last season, will almost certainly be shown the exit door.
      Ivan Perisic’s time could also be up, just one year after being signed by Conte.

      And centre-back Eric Dier is the 10th potential departure before the start of the 2023/24 campaign.
      However, it is more likely Dier, 29, will leave when his contract expires in 2024.
      Outside of Postecoglou’s list of expected departures, Harry Kane has been linked with Real Madrid and Manchester United – but looks set to stay as he enters the final 12 months of his deal.
      Son Heung-min was attracting interest from Saudi Arabia, but it is unlikely he will leave this summer.

      And Spurs are being linked with several arrivals.
      They include James Maddison, Harvey Barnes, Guglielmo Vicario, Alex Scott and Jadon Sancho.

      Harry Kane ‘is in contact with European giants over sensational summer transfer’ in huge Man Utd blow

      by

      HARRY KANE is still in discussions to join Bayern Munich according to reports in Germany.Journalist Christian Falk claimed on Bild’s transfer podcast that the interest between Kane and Bayern is both “concrete” and “mutual”.

      He went on to claim that Bayern have been speaking with Kane’s family around the logistics of relocating to Bavaria.
      Falk says that the feeling coming out of Kane’s camp is that the striker is “still thinking” about a move to the Bundesliga.
      Bayern have retained an interest in Kane since the end of the season but faced competition from Manchester United and Real Madrid.
      However Daniel Levy’s firm £100million price tag has seen both United and Madrid cool their interest in Kane.

      United have limited funds available until their takeover is cleared, much to the frustration of manager Erik Ten Hag.
      They are unwilling to spend £100m on a 29-year-old that has a year left on his contract.
      Madrid meanwhile would struggle to raise the necessary funds having signed Bellingham in a British record £115m deal.
      Whether Bayern could afford to stump-up the £100m asking price remains to be seen but Spurs would be tempted to sell to a team outside the Premier League.

      The temptation will be particularly strong given Kane will be able to decide his own club next summer when his contract expires.
      Bayern are in the market for a striker having failed to replace Robert Lewandoswki after he left for Barcelona last year.
      One way in which they could fund the costly deal would be through player sales.
      Thomas Tuchel is prepared to let a number of high-profile players go as he enters his first full season in charge.
      Benjamin Pavard, Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry and Sadio Mane are all reportedly transfer listed. More

      Tottenham receive huge boost in £40m James Maddison transfer race as Newcastle cool interest

      TOTTENHAM have received a boost in their pursuit of James Maddison after Newcastle cooled their interest in the England star.But Spurs are prioritising strengthening other positions first with central defence a key area of focus for now.

      Maddison, 26, is set to leave relegated Leicester this summer.
      The Foxes were hoping for £50million for their prize asset but with one year remaining on his deal, may well have to settle for closer to the £40m mark.
      Spurs and Newcastle were leading the race but SunSport understands the Magpies, who are closing in on the £55m signing of AC Milan midfielder Sandro Tonali, have gone quiet on the deal.
      A move to St James’ Park cannot be completely ruled out but it leaves Tottenham as front-runners to move for versatile midfielder Maddison, who netted ten goals and grabbed nine assists in the Premier League last term.

      Yet first the North Londoners want to address other areas, and after a season where they conceded a whopping 63 league goals, a new centre-back or two are first on the menu.
      In their sights are Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo, 25, who made 29 appearances for the Cottagers this term but has only one year left on his contract.
      Spurs are also weighing up a move for Bayer Leverkusen’s Burkina Faso ace Edmond Tapsoba, 24.
      England defender Marc Guehi, 22, remains a target but Crystal Palace are after a fee of around £50m.

      New boss Ange Postecoglou is in need of new faces not just from a quality perspective but also numerically.
      Davinson Sanchez is set to leave the club while loanee Clement Lenglet has already gone back to Barcelona.
      Though there remains a possibility the French international, 28, who made 35 appearances for Spurs this term, could be re-signed permanently on a cut-price deal if a fee can be agreed.
      Tottenham will be looking to trim their squad with no European football next season and a number of loanees returning to an already well-stocked roster.
      But Postecoglou will likely want to assess the likes of Gio Lo Celso and Tanguy Ndombele, farmed out to Villarreal and Napoli respectively last term, before deciding on their futures.
      Spurs are close to their second signing of the summer in the form of Italian goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario from Serie A side Empoli.
      Reports from the stopper’s homeland have suggested Vicario could even undergo a medical at Spurs on Sunday.
      Loanee Dejan Kulusevski has already been signed permanently from Juventus for £25.7m, to be paid over six years.
      ROD’S RETURN
      Meanwhile, Rodrigo Bentancur is targeting a return to action in “two or three months” as he continues his recovery from a serious injury.
      The Uruguayan, one of Spurs’ best players this term, tore his anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the 4-1 defeat at Leicester in February.
      He has taken a club physio with him to his home country where he has enjoyed time with his family. 
      But the midfielder will head back to Spurs next week where he plans to stay to continue his recovery and speak to new boss Ange Postecoglou for the first time.
      Bentancur, 25, told ESPN: “It’s a long injury, one of the most difficult in football, but the truth is that I’m having such a good time with my family.

      “I train the same every day, I do double shifts two or three times a week. I brought the club’s physiotherapist to Uruguay, we continue working and my knee is doing very well. 
      “I didn’t set a return date, but I hope in two or three months to be at least gaining a few minutes again.”

      Champions League giants ‘serious’ about hijacking Prem transfer of Bristol City star dubbed ‘Guernsey Grealish’

      CHAMPIONS LEAGUE finalists Inter Milan could hijack a Premier League transfer for Alex Scott. Scott, 19, has impressed over the last two seasons with Bristol City, notching six goals and seven assists across 91 appearances.

      This form has seen the midfielder catch the eye of a number of Premier League outfits, including Tottenham, West Ham and Liverpool.
      However, according to a report from Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb, Inter are now “serious” about bringing him to the Serie A.
      Scott has been estimated to have a value of £25million.
      But the report states Inter could manage to negotiate this fee down to £15.5m.

      Dubbed the “Guernsey Grealish”, Scott was crowned the Championship’s Young Player of the Season for his efforts last campaign.
      West Ham are thought to be considering the £25m move but will face competition from Wolves and Bournemouth as well as the interest from Spurs and the Reds.
      However, Bristol City boss Nigel Pearson has previously insisted that Scott will not be allowed to leave the club for cheap.
      He told Bristol World: “It’s got to be more than £25m, he shouldn’t go for less than that.

      Tottenham rushing to complete transfer of goalkeeper Vicario with move at risk of being HIJACKED by Italian club

      by

      TOTTENHAM are hoping to complete the signing of Italian goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario – and keep him out of the clutches of Inter Milan.Vicario, 26, is close to a £16.3milion switch from Serie A side Empoli to North London.

      It is widely believed in his homeland that Inter were lining up a move for the stopper should Chelsea target Andre Onana leave this summer – so Spurs have moved quickly.
      Tottenham have been after a new stopper with long-serving captain Hugo Lloris wanting to leave this summer.
      They had targeted Brentford’s David Raya but with the Bees’ asking price of £40million proving prohibitive, they have now turned to Vicario.
      Reports coming out of Italy have suggested Vicario has already agreed a five-year deal with the North Londoners.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Vicario has had two stellar seasons helping Empoli retain their Serie A status.
      New Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou wants a goalkeeper who is comfortable with the ball at his feet and Vicario is understood to have worked on that area considerably of late.
      The stopper has earned plenty of admirers at home and abroad for his displays – including from Champions League finalists Inter.
      BETTING SPECIAL – BEST NO DEPOSIT CASINO OFFERS
      Vicario was born in Udine in North-East Italy and began his career with hometown club Udinese.
      Most read in Football
      His route to the Premier League has been far from easy, having to work his way up the Italian lower leagues with the likes of Fontanafredda, Venezia and Perugia.
      He finally reached Italy’s top flight with a move to Cagliari in 2020, but it was only when he joined Empoli on loan a year later that he became a Serie A regular, before turning the move permanent last summer.
      Vicario is yet to earn a senior cap for Italy but was on the bench for the Azzurri for the Nations League finals this month.
      Spurs’ former managing director of football Fabio Paratici, who resigned in April, was understood to be a big fan of Vicario.
      Fans will be hoping Vicario proves far more of a success than the last Italian stopper recommended by Paratici in Pierluigi Gollini, who failed to make an impact when joining on loan from Atalanta the season before last. More

      And Mundo Deportivo state Xavi has identified Lo Celso as a suitable low-cost option and ideal addition to the squad.
      Ruben Neves was a target but the Catalan club have set their eyes on Lo Celso after Wolves sold their captain to Al-Hilal for £47million.
      The Argentine playmaker, 27, has spent the last 18 months on loan at Villarreal and has impressed with his performances.
      And it is unlikely Tottenham would stand in his way of leaving this summer, two years before his contract expires.

      The former PSG and Real Betis star has managed just nine goals in 84 appearances, initially joining Spurs on loan in 2019 and then completing a £27m transfer a year later.
      Lo Celso would be up against the likes of Gavi, Pedri, Frenkie de Jong and Franck Kessie for a place in the Spanish giants’ midfield.
      But the news of Barcelona’s interest will come as a big blow to Aston Villa.
      Unai Emery was keen to be reunited with Lo Celso after getting the best out of him at Villarreal.

      But the chance to join the LaLiga champions and compete in the Champions League at the Nou Camp could be the perfect move for Lo Celso to end his struggles in the Premier League.
      And Barcelona could sweeten the deal for Tottenham by offering Clement Lenglet to the North Londoners.
      French defender spent last season on loan at Spurs and the club are keen to make the switch permanent.
      Barca, though, may try and land 44-cap Lo Celso – who missed the World Cup with injury – on loan instead due to their financial struggles. More
