Previously, Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou also stated that he will not include Lo Celso into his plan this season. 

Romano reported that Tottenham Hotspur owner Daniel Levy rejected the initial proposal from Betis, but talks are taking place. Lo Celso used to play 45 games for Betis in the past, scoring 16 goals equipped with six assists. 

His presence in North London was initially as a loanee, with a permanent option with Spurs. Since playing his debut for Spurs in August 2019, Lo Celso has appeared in 108 matches for the Lilywhites, scoring 10 goals. (source: Fabrizio Romano)

BREAKING: Tottenham getting closer to signing Johnny Cardoso

According to Fabrizio Romano, Spurs are looking to offload Lo Celso in the final hours of the window and they are on the verge of landing the talented 22-year-old Cardoso.

The North Londoners have inserted a clause that will see them buy a percentage if Betis sell Cardoso to another club in the future. Cardoso has made 17 appearances in La Liga for Real Betis last season and has earned 15 caps for the USMNT.

Tottenham’s Ange Postecoglou rules out more signings before deadline

Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer window appears to be closing with no further additions expected.

Manager Ange Postecoglou has stated that Spurs are unlikely to make any more signings unless a surprising opportunity arises. Despite a busy summer, the Australian coach believes the squad is set for now.

“Yeah, I think so unless something surprising jumps out. No, I think that is it.” said Ange Postecoglou.

Postecoglou acknowledged that the team could use an extra centre-back but hinted that new signing Archie Gray could fill that role if necessary.

Postecoglou also provided updates on the futures of Giovani Lo Celso and Sergio Reguilon. Both players are in the final year of their contracts and require permanent transfers before the deadline.

Tottenham hopes to offload them as loan deals are not a viable option given that they would be free agents next summer. With the clock ticking, Spurs face a crucial decision regarding the duo’s departure.

Tottenham midfielder a ‘chosen target’ for La Liga club

A recent report by ‘SB Nation‘ citing journalist ‘Matteo Moretto’, embarks that Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur’s midfielder Giovani Lo Celso is a ‘chosen target’ for La Liga’s Real Betis.

Several reports in the English media have already hinted that Spurs’ have a real battle in their hands in order to offload players like Lo Celso and Sergio Reguilon before the window shuts on the deadline day.

Real Betis does look like a feasible option for Giovani Lo Celso at this stage in time as the player has early completed a successful loan spell at the Spanish club. The midfielder is currently in the last year of his contract at Tottenham.

Though nothing is concrete at this stage in terms of Lo Celso’s potential move to Betis as of now, it remains to be seen how Spurs deal with the entire turnover of fringe players before the window closes.

Tottenham forward nears club exit: Report

As per a recent report by ‘Football London‘ citing transfer market expert – ‘Fabrizio Romano’, Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur’s forward Manor Solomon is nearing an exit from the club before the ongoing summer transfer window shuts.

The winger cum attacking midfielder has unfortunately spent most of his time at Spurs nursing a knee injury that he suffered in October 2023. He has only made 6 first-team appearances for the club till now at the highest level, after joining in a free transfer last year.

The Israeli forward is on his way back to recovery after surgery in March. Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano has insisted that Manor Solomon is likely to complete a move to EFL Championship side Leeds United as the window nears its closure.

However, both Spurs and Leeds need to act quickly on this one as they have got till this Friday to get this one over the line.

Tottenham’s left-back linked with a move to Barcelona: Report

As per a recent report by ‘TEAMtalk‘, Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur are pushing to offload their left-back Sergio Reguilon before the transfer window shuts. The player reportedly isn’t in the plans of manager Ange Postecoglou. Big Ange has seemingly chosen Destiny Odogie as his go-through man for the left-back position.

Reguilon spent the first half of the last season on loan at Spurs league rivals Man United, while for the second half of the season, he was loaned to Brentford. The club’s hierarchy’s moves for the player clearly suggested that maybe Postecoglou just doesn’t fancy him under his style of heavy-metal football.

‘TEAMtalk’ has laid out that La Liga giants FC Barcelona are interested in Reguilon and keeping close tabs on him in the dying stages of the ongoing transfer window. However, the financial constraints that Barca has of its own, might prevent the club from getting any significant piece of business over the line in the next few days or so.

With Barca’s touted approach for the left-back on the brink of falling, a new potential suitor for Sergio Reguilon has emerged in the form of Turkish club Besiktas. Despite the links with Besiktas being fairly new for Tottenham’s Reguilon, ‘TEAMtalk’, coins that the reports in the Turkish media interpret that Besiktas do hold a keen interest in the Spurs’ left-back.

It remains to be seen how things pan out for Sergio Reguilon in the remainder of the transfer window.

Tottenham hopes to add a left-back to their squad before the transfer window shuts: Report

As per a recent report by ‘Hotspur HQ‘, renowned football journalist and transfer market expert ‘Fabrizio Romano’, expressed while speaking to ‘GiveMeSport’ that Premier League Tottenham Hotspur might chip in with a late signing before the ongoing transfer window shuts.

Romano has cited that Spurs might be on the lookout for a left-back to add to Ange Postecoglou’s squad in the remaining days of the transfer window. While Big Ange does have players like Destiny Udogie, Sergio Reguilon, and Ben Davies to fill in that role at the club, there are reasons for him to look out for another left-back.

Udogie’s injury track record does tend to overshadow his recent impressive performances, while Ben Davies has been deployed as more of a left-sided center-back by Spurs’ team management, and finally, Reguilon is expected to depart the club.

Fabrizio Romano reportedly expressed – “Look, for Tottenham, I think there is still a possibility, yes, maybe, to find an opportunity. For example, a left-back could be an opportunity that they could follow in the final, final days of the window.”

So, there is some belief that Tottenham could sign potentially one more player before the window closes, but it remains to be seen if the club does take any action. Spurs stumbled upon a 1-1 draw against Leicester in their opening game of the season but later smashed Everton 4-0 at home in their second fixture.

Tottenham confirm loan departure of defender to Championship side

As per a recent report by ‘Football London‘, Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur has ‘confirmed’ the exit of their young defender Ashley Phillips on loan to EFL Championship side Stoke City for the eternity of the 2024-25 top-flight campaign.

Phillips was sent on loan for the second half of the last season as well where he played for another Championship side in the form of Plymouth Argyle. The 19-year-old made 18 appearances in the Championship for the club and apart from his defensive contributions also chipped in with three goals.

Ashley Phillips now is among the list of other players like Alejo Veliz, Bryan Gil, and Dane Scarlett who departed Spurs on a temporary basis in the ongoing summer transfer window. Tottenham also loaned out Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to Ligue 1 side Marseille.
