      Tottenham – who appointed Ange Postecoglou as their new manager this week – are understood to be interested in offering Maguire an escape route.
      And Arsenal fans have mocked their bitter rival’s interest in signing the world’s most expensive defender – who has been out of sorts for the last few seasons.
      One tweeted: “Dier & Maguire at the back. Pls lord make it happen.”
      Another said: “Destruction button.”

      And another said: “I used to pray for this.”
      One remarked: “Dier & Dire. Has a great ring to it.”
      Another sarcastically chimed in: “Definitely going to concede less goals the whole season.
      “Like 5 in 38 matches and keep the most clean sheet in the Premier League record as a defensive pair.”

      Maguire’s series of blunders last season led to him playing second fiddle to Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof and even left-back Luke Shaw at the heart of United’s defence.
      And Ten Hag recently hinted that he’s willing to let the England international leave the Theatre of Dreams this summer.
      The Dutchman told The Times: “Let’s say I’m happy he’s here and when we needed him he did his job.
      “But it’s also a decision he has to make.
      “No one would be happy with this situation – he is not as well. He trains always on the best levels, so with 100% effort.
      “So he handles that situation well and he’s in that manner and in his captaincy he’s important for the squad.” More

      The England captain is wanted by Man Utd and Real Madrid.
      But Spurs are hoping a stroke of genius could keep him in North London.

      And, according to the Telegraph, Spurs are mulling over a move for the centre-back.

      Maguire, 30, slipped down the United pecking order under Erik ten Hag last season, with Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof preferred.
      The ex-Leicester and Hull centre-back has been linked with a summer move away.
      And Tottenham have thrown their hat into the ring – along with Newcastle – to bolster their defensive ranks, with Eric Dier, Clement Lenglet and Cristian Romero the preferred centre-backs in 2022-23.
      Maguire has also been tipped to be included in a player-plus-cash deal which would see Mason Mount join United from Chelsea.

      The England defender made just 16 appearances in the Premier League last season – including just eight starts.
      A move could do his career the world of good – for both himself and Spurs.
      Kane is believed to be keen to stay in England as he targets Alan Shearer’s Premier League goals record.
      Real Madrid are confident they can land their man, keeping their No9 jersey free – despite Kane preferring Luka Modric’s No10 – after Karim Benzema’s departure.
      Kane will be desperate to finally end his career-long trophy drought.
      But a chance to team up with England mate Maguire under Postecoglou could convince him to stay – at least for another season. More

      His first job will be to keep Spurs’ record scorer Harry Kane with Real Madrid and Manchester United keen.
      Tottenham boast a rich history of attacking stars in Cliff Jones, Ossie Ardiles, Glenn Hoddle, Paul Gascoigne and Gareth Bale.
      And Hoddle’s ex-Spurs No 2 John Gorman said: “Can Ange replicate the style of play at Celtic when he goes to Spurs? Definitely. That’s what the fans want.
      “I would think it’s exactly how the fans at Tottenham want to see their team play. They’re an attacking team.”

      Spurs cranked up talks with Postecoglou, who was on a 12-month rolling deal in Glasgow, after Celtic clinched an eighth treble in Saturday’s Scottish Cup win over Inverness.
      Chairman Daniel Levy had been frustrated in his efforts to bring in Arne Slot, Julian Nagelsmann and Vincent Kompany, while ex-boss Mauricio Pochettino joined Chelsea.
      If Postecoglou, 57,  is announced today it would match the 72-day period between Jose Mourinho’s departure and the start of Nuno Espirito Santo’s short-lived reign in 2021.
      Postecoglou delivered his fifth trophy in two seasons at Celtic.

      The ex-Australia boss also won titles in his home country and Japan — all with attacking football.
      Now he has a far harder task of ending Spurs’ 15-year wait for silverware.
      It is understood Postecoglou wants to bring his coaching team of John Kennedy, Gavin Strachan and Greg Wallace with him.  
      And the Scottish champs are ready to negotiate compensation.
      That will clear the final hurdle between Postecoglou and the Spurs job.
      Kane, who has one year left on his Spurs contract, is seen as the ideal replacement for Karim Benzema at the Bernabeu.
      Postecoglou will be desperate to see £100m-rated Kane agree to stay for at least one season.
      The chief’s first match in pre-season is back on home soil as Spurs face West Ham in a Perth friendly on July 18. More

      And according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, the two parties have now reached a verbal agreement.
      Postecoglou is set to sign a two-year deal with the option to extend for a further season, so he could remain in north London until June 2026.
      Celtic are expected to hold discussions with Tottenham this week, but the Scottish Premiership champions have already resigned to losing the Aussie.
      And due to his rolling one-year contract at Celtic Park, there will be no hefty compensation to pay.

      SunSport revealed the Aussie wants Celtic No2 John Kennedy to join him in London.
      Fellow coach Gavin Strachan as well as one of the first-team’s video analysts are also expected to make the move south.
      Postecoglou’s appointment will mark the end of Tottenham’s three-month search for a manager.
      Former boss Antonio Conte left the club in March following an astonishing rant about his players.

      The Italian’s ex-assistant Cristian Stellini was appointed interim manager for the remainder of the season shortly after his departure, but he was sacked after just four games.
      Ryan Mason then took the reigns and has been at the helm as acting head coach ever since.
      During their search for a new permanent manager, the Lilywhites have been linked with Julian Nagelsmann, Xabi Alonso, Arne Slot, Thomas Frank and Simone Inzaghi.
      Spurs decided against appointing Nagelsmann at the beginning of May, while Alonso and Slot both ruled themselves out of the running. More

      Incoming Spurs boss Postecoglou ready to raid Celtic for £30million striker as long-term replacement for Harry Kane

      by

      TOTTENHAM want Ange Postecoglou to bring Japan striker Kyogo Furuhashi with him from Celtic.The prolific marksman, who netted in the Scottish Cup final against Inverness, is already on Spurs’ wishlist as a partner, cover or even eventual replacement for club talisman Harry Kane.

      And if Postecoglou, 57, agrees to become Tottenham chief this week then that would vastly increase their chances of landing the Japanese ace.
      Furuhashi, 28, would be ideal for Spurs and they are prepared to pay around £25-30million to make him a major capture.
      Best known as Kyogo, the Hoops star has been one of the major successes in Postecoglou’s time in Scotland — with 23 goals in 31 league games.
      And, at his age, the chance of the Premier League may also be too good to refuse.

      But there are other clubs in England with Kyogo in their sights because of his finishing, clever running and positive attitude.
      Postecoglou is currently waiting for permission to speak to Spurs supremo Daniel Levy.
      The Australian enjoys being boss at Celtic but may be open to a new challenge if the job is right.
      West Ham boss David Moyes has been backed as the front-runner for the Celtic post if Postecoglou leaves.

      “I’m hopefully trying to continue growing a really good football club so I’ve not given it any consideration.
      “Through my years I’ve been linked with lots of jobs at different times but I have to say I’m really happy at the moment and I’m settled where I am.
      “The club have been so good to me and we’re enjoying the journey we’re on.” More

      That is when the ex-Chelsea boss asked for the England captain to reinforce his attack ahead of next season.

      Ancelotti remained coy, though, when addressing links with Kane recently.
      The 63-year-old head coach described the forward as a “top player” but insisted he wouldn’t discuss the topic further out of “respect” for Tottenham.
      Ancelotti said: “Harry Kane is a top player but we have to respect Tottenham, he’s a Tottenham player.
      “I can guarantee to you that Real Madrid will have a competitive team again next season”.

      Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, though, is not keen to sell his star player to a direct rival. More
