      Tottenham ‘target shock transfer swoop for ex-Chelsea star Marc Guehi with Crystal Palace open to £45million sale’

      Antonio Conte tried to bring in Milan Skriniar and Alessandro Bastoni from Inter Milan last year.
      But with a deal for that pair likely to prove tricky Spurs have turned their attention to Guehi, report the Daily Mail.
      However Crystal Palace are reluctant to let the centre-back leave as he has been a key part of Patrick Vieira’s side in his 18 months at Selhurst Park.
      But the Eagles will reportedly sell the three-cap England star if they receive an offer in excess of £45million.

      Tottenham may be prepared to meet that asking price and could reportedly raise funds by selling Davinson Sanchez.
      Clement Lenglet is also set to leave the club when his loan expires which means the North London outfit could sign two centre-backs when the transfer window opens.
      RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol is another player who has caught the eye – he impressed for Croatia at the World Cup.
      But again a transfer could prove almost impossible with Leipzig demanding £80m for Gvardiol last month amid interest from Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid.

      Meanwhile Skriniar has been stripped of the Inter captaincy amid news he has signed a pre-contract agreement with PSG, though that deal has not been officially confirmed by either club.
      Daniel Levy could focus his attention on Bastoni because of that, with Tottenham believed to have been considering a £43m January bid for the Italian. More

      by

      In a statement, Spurs said: “A timeframe for his return will be determined after surgery. He will begin rehabilitation with our medical staff as soon as possible.”
      A stress fracture is sustained over time rather than a specific incident.
      It leaves boss Antonio Conte with a midfield selection headache ahead of the trip to AC Milan on Tuesday in the last 16 of the Champions League, given Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg is suspended.
      England Under-21 starlet Oliver Skipp is likely to step up to play in the San Siro alongside Rodrigo Bentancur.

      It is the second bit of bad injury news for Spurs this week, following the revelation that Hugo Lloris will be out for five to seven weeks with a knee injury.
      Fraser Forster will deputise at the King Power for the stricken Frenchman, as well as the two upcoming last-16 ties in the Champions League against AC Milan.
      The 34-year-old joined Spurs on a free transfer from Southampton in the summer.
      He made his debut in November’s 2-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest in the League Cup, and looked shaky at Brentford on Boxing Day.

      But he has kept back-to-back clean sheets in the FA Cup this year and does have six England caps to his name.
      Conte and his staff have complete faith in England international Forster, given his “great Premier League experience and good Champions League experience”.
      Spurs assistant Cristian Stellini said: “Fraser is a very good man. His behaviour this season was perfect. 
      “Every day he pushes himself to train really hard and with this behaviour he pushes Hugo to train very hard. 
      “Physically, he [Fraser] is a keeper perfect for the Premier League style, for the type of game we are going to play in the Premier League, he uses both feet when he plays with the ball.
      “So, it will be interesting to see him for some weeks to play with us. 
      “We completely trust in him.” More

      Tottenham ‘were snubbed by Franck Kessie after launching January transfer move’ for Barcelona outcast

      by

      TOTTENHAM were ‘snubbed’ by Barcelona’s Franck Kessie as they explored a January move for the midfielder, according to reports in Spain. Kessie joined Barcelona on a free transfer last summer from Italian giants AC Milan where he was a crucial first team player.

      Spanish outlet Sport report that Antonio Conte’s side tried their luck with a move for the Ivorian due to his lack of minutes at the Nou Camp this season.
      The Ivorian’s name was one of those heavily linked with leaving Barcelona due to their financial issues.
      The report claims that at no time did Kessie consider cutting his time short with the LaLiga side but that did not stop Tottenham knocking at the door.
      For Kessie unless he was told by Barcelona manager Xavi that he no longer counted on him then his plan was to always continue with the club as he was convinced his time would come.
      The 26-year-old has only featured 12 times in LaLiga for the Catalan giants this season as they sit top of the table.
      The Ivorian has scored twice for the club since his summer arrival, once in the Champions League and once in the Copa Del Rey.
      The start of 2023 has been better for Kessie and after Sergio Busquets picked up an injury at the weekend the midfielder has an opportunity to stake his claim for a run in the side.
      Tottenham are clearly in the market for a midfielder, the summer signing of Yves Bissouma from Brighton hasn’t gone to plan so far and Antonio Conte will be looking for reinforcements in that area to bolster the squad.

      Antonio Conte’s side had been linked with moves for Weston McKennie and Ruslan Malinovskyi but the pair subsequently joined Leeds and Marseille respectively.

      by

      TOTTENHAM fans have been left shocked by reports claiming they want to sign Ben Foster.Spurs are on the lookout for a goalkeeper following Huge Lloris’ injury.

      The Tottenham No1 is expected to be out for around two months after suffering knee ligament damage.

      And one target they have in mind is former Manchester United keeper Foster, according to The Mirror.
      Foster, 39, has been a free agent since leaving Watford last summer but Spurs would need special dispensation from the Premier League to sign him up.

      But several Spurs fans are not too happy about the supposed interest, with some less than enthusiastic about Foster’s extracurricular activity.
      The former England star turned his hand to Youtube in 2020 and regularly vlogged his experiences playing for Watford.

      He is known as the “cycling goalkeeper” on the platform and has 1.2million subscribers.
      Foster has filmed behind-the-scenes footage on matchday and even filmed a charity match by attaching a camera to his gloves.

      The proposed agreement with South Africa’s tourism board would have included matchday advertising, kit and interview backdrop branding and even training camps in the country, according to the Telegraph.
      But South Africa’s parliament slapped down the “insulting” agreement amid the country’s painful economic situation.
      South African president Cyril Ramaphosa’s spokesperson said he “did not think spending so much money in the manner that is being suggested will be justified.”
