Tottenham make transfer offer to "skilful" player after talks with teammate

Tottenham Hotspur have moved in with a transfer offer to one “skilful” player behind-the-scenes, following failed talks with his teammate, as chairman Daniel Levy and technical director Johan Lange attempt an astute pre-summer move.

Tottenham prepare for Ipswich after back-to-back Premier League wins

Spurs are fresh off the back of two consecutive Premier League wins for the first time since September, which funnily enough also came against Brentford and Man United, as manager Ange Postecoglou seeks to resurrect their dwindling season.

The Galacticos are real admirers.

The Australian is now aiming for Spurs’ first hat-trick of consecutive wins this season, as he prepares the Tottenham squad for a tough trip to relegation-threatened Ipswich Town, who’ll be aiming to take advantage of Postecoglou’s weakened squad.

Spurs welcomed back Guglielmo Vicario, James Maddison, Wilson Odobert and Brennan Johnson against United last Sunday, with left-back Destiny Udogie also fit enough for an appearance on the bench.

However, at the time of writing, Postecoglou still remains without star striker Dominic Solanke, alongside centre-back trio Radu Dragusin, Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero due to injury.

“It does make a massive difference,” said Postecoglou on Tottenham’s returning players from injury. “Getting guys like Vic and Madders contributing straight away, you can see the quality they have and the presence they have.

“As you said I can put guys on and for guys like Brennan and Wilson, Vic, Madders to a certain extent, it might take them one or two games to get up to speed, but the fact we have them available, yeah, it’s an enormous boost for us.

“It was an important game for us and an important week. We needed to put in a performance today to get us the result and I think we did that. That coupled with the fact that we’ve got some significant players back, and they got through the game.

“They got through unscathed and really contributed, it was important for us. It signals a little bit of an opportunity for us to push on from here.”

In the background, Levy, Lange and the Lilywhites recruitment team will be mindful of making sure they’re less likely to be plunged into a player-selection crisis next season.

Tottenham make offer to Lille midfielder Angel Gomes

According to The Boot Room and journalist Graeme Bailey, Lille midfielder Angel Gomes is a summer target for the club.

The England international is out of contract at the end of 2024/2025 and available as a free agent, piquing interest from north London. It is believed that Tottenham have already made a transfer offer to Gomes after holding talks, following failed negotiations with his teammate at Lille, Jonathan David.

Spurs are seriously pushing for the midfield technician, with a return to the Premier League described as possible, while David appears most likely to head to Barcelona despite some discussions with Postecoglou’s side.

However, that being said, Man United are still in the picture, and Gomes’ former club could well tempt him with a return to Old Trafford.

The 24-year-old has impressed over the last two seasons for Lille, earning a call-up to the Three Lions squad in that time, with former interim boss Lee Carsley describing Gomes as a “very skilful” player.
