      He has been mightily impressive for Antonio Conte’s men, playing a major role in their qualification for the Champions League.
      According to The Telegraph, Tottenham are now seeking to tie him down to a long-term deal at the club.
      A stipulation in the loan was that Spurs would need to trigger his release clause before the end of August.
      And they are now poised to do so following a successful summer’s transfer business.

      Romero, who already feels like a staple fixture in Conte’s side, would become Tottenham’s seventh signing of the window.
      They have already brought in Fraser Forster, Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma, Richarlison, Clement Lenglet and Djed Spence.
      Udinese left-back Destiny Udogie, an Italian U21 international, has also been heavily linked with a move to North London.
      But four players have been banished from the Spurs squad by Conte following their opening weekend win over Southampton.

      Reports claim Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso, Sergio Reguilon and Harry Winks have all been axed from first team training.
      The foursome have fallen out of favour and been training on their own since the team’s return from pre-season in South Korea.
      The four outcasts have been informed that Conte can only work with a certain amount of players and are practicing individually at separate times from the rest of the squad.
      The North Londoners are looking for buyers but understand their future may not be resolved until the final week of the summer transfer window, and probably not even before deadline day. More

      Man Utd want Illan Meslier transfer from rivals Leeds as David de Gea replacement with new keeper targeted

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have identified Leeds keeper Illan Meslier as the long-term replacement for David de Gea, according to reports.De Gea, 31, held on to the No1 spot at Old Trafford at the start of last season, taking advantage of Dean Henderson’s Covid-related issues.

      Now at the start of the new campaign, the Spaniard faces very little competition for the position as Henderson has gone out on loan to Nottingham Forest.
      And Henderson’s comments this summer have triggered Man Utd into searching for a new No2 – with Tom Heaton seen as a third choice option.
      Henderson slammed United’s treatment of him and may well have closed the door on any kind of future at Old Trafford.
      Speaking earlier this month about claims he was promised the No1 spot, he said: “Nobody followed through with anything they told me.

      “I turned many loans down for that reason. It was frustrating. To sit there and waste 12 months is criminal at my age. I was fuming.”
      According to The Athletic, a sum of £7million has been set aside to look for a new shot-stopper.
      And Leeds No1 Meslier has been talked up as a potential target.
      However, Jesse Marsch’s outfit will not sell the French keeper this summer.

      So United will have to look to future transfer windows if they are to swoop in and sign him.
      Meslier joined Leeds on a season-long loan from Lorient in 2019 – a move which became permanent the following year for around £5m.
      He played just 11 times in the season where Leeds were promoted from the Championship to the Premier League.
      But since then he has become their established No1, missing just three league matches over the past two campaigns. More

      He gradually fell down the pecking order at the club last season, so was sent back to Lyon on a short-term loan deal.

      Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is eager for him to move on before the transfer window closes in September.

      Villarreal previously proposed a swap deal which would have seen Pervis Estupinan join Spurs on a permanent transfer, but nothing came of the discussions.
      Ndombele has reportedly been offered to a number of different clubs by his team of representatives in a bid to find regular first team football.
      Galatasaray and AC Milan have also expressed an interest in signing him, while Lyon are said to be considering a permanent deal.

      Despite his mixed experience with Tottenham, Ndombele previously hinted that he would like to stay.
      When speaking to Media Carre, he said: “I think it’s possible to be happy at Tottenham.
      “Regardless of where you can go, you can be happy or unhappy.
      “We’ll see how things go during pre-season. I’m not putting any more pressure on myself than that.”
      He added: “What I want is to be happy, take pleasure in what I do, play, win, that’s all I want.” More

      Tella, 23, has joined from Southampton for the season.

      Part of the game involved contestants having to remember items that passed them on a conveyor belt, which they then won if they could name them.

      In a brilliant video Burnley made a mock up of the show using Forsyth and two contestants, with items like Fruitella, Nutella, an umbrella and paella all rolling past.

      Burnley fans will be hoping Tella can be as much of a hit on the pitch as he has been off it.
      The 23-year-old winger has played 33 times in the Premier League for Southampton.
      Speaking after joining Burnley, Tella said: “Once the opportunity arose for me to come here, this is where my head has been at since.

      But the Daily Mail claim the Saints No10 is interested in a move to Goodison Park.
      Ralph Hasenhuttl has now squeezed Adams a place further down their pecking order and sides may have a chance to nab him.
      Southampton paid around £15million for Adams in 2019.
      He has since become a regular in the side – featuring 110 times and scoring 21 goals.

      The forward’s form was rewarded with a place in the Scotland national team in time for Euro2020.
      However, with the addition of forward Sekou Mara – a £12m signing from Bordeaux – it appears his chances in the first team might be limited.
      Leeds are said to be circling too and would like to do business at around £10m.
      Adams started his career at Sheffield United and could fancy a return to Yorkshire if it means he gets more game time.

      Saints are looking for more of a profit but there is optimism that a compromise figure can be reached with one of the chasing pack.

      The Belgian star, 20, penned a five-year deal at Goodison Park to complete his switch from Lille. More
