Tottenham Express Interest in Buying English Star as Club Considers Selling Him

Tottenham Hotspur is in a prime position to make a significant signing in the upcoming year, as reports suggest that an England star may be available for transfer. The player’s current club has directly informed him of the possibility of being sold next year, opening the door for Spurs to swoop in and make a move.

Tottenham’s rumoured transfer plans for 2025

During the summer transfer window, Tottenham Hotspur made some significant additions to their squad, with a total expenditure of £113 million on four senior players. This included extending winger Timo Werner’s loan, securing Archie Gray from Leeds for £40 million, bringing in striker Dominic Solanke, and signing Wilson Odobert from Burnley.

Additionally, young talents Lucas Bergvall and South Korean sensation Yang Min-hyeok are expected to join the squad soon, further strengthening the team’s depth and quality. Bergvall has been earmarked for game time under Postecoglou, with his debut possibly coming in a crucial match against Manchester United.

Looking ahead to 2025, Tottenham’s technical director Johan Lange, chairman Daniel Levy, and the recruitment team are actively working on adding to the squad. Rumors suggest that Tottenham is leading the race to sign Jonathan David from Lille, despite Solanke’s recent arrival, given that David’s contract is set to expire next summer.

Furthermore, reports indicate that Tottenham has expressed interest in winger Noah Okafor from Milan, with a potential fee of £17 million being mentioned. This signals Tottenham’s intent to strengthen their attacking options in the near future.

On the defensive front, Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi has emerged as a target, especially after Palace hinted at the possibility of selling him next year. Guehi’s contract expires in 2026, and several clubs, including Tottenham, Liverpool, Newcastle, Aston Villa, and Chelsea, are monitoring the situation closely.

Tottenham on alert as Palace tell Guehi they could sell

According to reports from The Boot Room, Crystal Palace has informed Guehi that a transfer could be on the cards if he doesn’t extend his contract, prompting interest from various Premier League clubs. Palace may consider offloading Guehi as early as January, potentially lowering their initial asking price.

In a statement to BBC Sport, Palace chairman Steve Parish addressed Guehi’s situation, emphasizing the club’s willingness to negotiate but highlighting the importance of a substantial offer for the talented defender.

“We would like to keep hold of him. There is a price and a situation where we might consider it,” Parish explained. “Realistically, he is homegrown, 24 years old, and a sensational talent – so somebody has to make it difficult for us.”
