Tottenham receive their biggest boost yet in pursuit of Yoane Wissa, Newcastle won’t like it
Given that Newcastle United is showing interest in Yoane Wissa, Tottenham may have just received a significant boost in their hunt for a new striker.
Tottenham has made some additions to its roster this summer, including the permanent signings of Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel, as well as the addition of Mohammed Kudus and Kota Takai.
Tottenham is determined to keep up their efforts to strengthen Thomas Frank’s first team, though, as evidenced by their bid for Morgan Gibbs-White, who was supposed to have a medical 24 hours after his release clause was activated but has since been delayed.
Tottenham’s target Yoane Wissa would rather see Thomas Frank again.
According to reports, Tottenham is aware of their next goal for the summer transfer window after a deal for Morgan Gibbs-White is completed.
Spurs are still looking for a center-forward, and this summer they have been connected to a number of strikers, including Yoane Wissa, Dusan Vlahovic, and Evann Guessand.
According to Alex Crook, Newcastle United, a Premier League competitor who is also looking for a new center-forward, is showing interest in Wissa.

Since Liverpool entered the race for the Frankfurt striker, Hugo Ekitike, the Magpies are rumored to have withdrawn from consideration.
Eddie Howe’s team has also considered Yoane Wissa, but according to insiders, he would much rather reunite with Thomas Frank at Tottenham, which would be a huge boost for the Lilywhites.
Spurs might have to shell out a lot of money to acquire Wissa.
Along with Bryan Mbeumo, Ivan Toney, and Ollie Watkins, Thomas Frank has enhanced a number of attacking players during his tenure as Brentford’s manager, including Yoane Wissa.
The 28-year-old attacker had a career-best season last season, playing in 34 Premier League games and scoring 19 goals.
Tottenham may have to make a significant investment if they want to sign Wissa this summer. According to sources, Brentford is expected to seek a fee of around £50 million for its star forward, who has one year remaining on his current contract.

Tottenham is keeping an eye on three number six possibilities, but Archie Gray has the potential to make all the difference.
Journalist Ben Jacobs has listed the defensive midfield players that Tottenham is considering and explains why Thomas Frank’s evaluation of Archie Gray could be crucial in the Lilywhites’ selection.
According to reports in recent days, Tottenham’s next goal is to sign a top-tier number six, which is something Frank is eager to improve.
That assertion is consistent with rumors that Spurs are currently attempting to let go of Yves Bissouma, who has only one year remaining on his deal.
Over the past few weeks, a number of publications have reported that Douglas Luiz, a midfielder for Juventus, is on Tottenham’s wish list. Numerous sources have also asserted that Luiz is eager to join Spurs.
Tottenham’s quest for a number six could be impacted by Archie Gray’s decision.
Although Luiz has been considered internally at Tottenham Hotspur, Ben Jacobs has now stated that the North Londoners do not believe he would be an improvement over their present midfield options.
The reporter said that Frank is a fan of Archie Gray and claimed that whether the Danish coach views the 19-year-old as a midfield option first and foremost will affect Tottenham’s search for a defensive midfield player.
“Douglas Luiz has also been discussed as one option; wage is a bit of a factor there, and there are some concerns that he wouldn’t necessarily be an outlying starting upgrade on what they already have,” Jacobs stated on the Last Word on Spurs.

Additionally, Archie Gray’s role will be crucial in all of this since, if he decides to play primarily defense, it will be even more urgent to acquire a number six
While some newspapers assert that Tottenham has not ruled out making a bold bid for Adam Wharton, we have also heard rumors over the past week that imply Tottenham is interested in Joao Palhinha.
Jacobs has now added two more names to the mix, indicating that the Lilywhites are keeping an eye on Kaishu Sano of Mainz and Joao Gomes of Wolves.
“I’ve previously reported that there is some appreciation for João Gomes at Wolves, and it’s making the rounds on social media,” he continued. Importantly, I also mentioned that in April, he agreed to a new five-year contract with Wolves.
At the time, it was believed that the extension in April was primarily intended to retain João Gomes at Wolves for at least a year, rather than to preserve value and allow him to go in the summer. For this reason, I believe it would be quite challenging for Tottenham to enter that race.
Another player that Tottenham greatly likes is Kaishu Sano, who plays for Mainz in the Bundesliga. Like Moises Caicedo, he is a highly aggressive number six who can move between the lines and win aerial duals. He also has a lot of underappreciated attacking skills and is a very progressive passer.
“He is so effective playing in a counter-attacking team because he is not just your typical engine room and ball winner; after he has won it, he is also very adept at getting his head up and figuring out where an incisive pass has to be sent.
“
That might be another name to keep an eye on, but I’d be shocked if Tottenham didn’t end the transfer window with a new six. However, as I mentioned before, the type of six, age, profile, and value of the six may be influenced by the role and position. Thomas Frank is in charge of Archie Gray.

During his first Tottenham practice, Kota Takai receives a hard reality check from the Premier League.
Tottenham has made their new signing’s video public. At Hotspur Way, Kota Takai trains with his colleagues. The center-back appeared to perform well on the fitness test and ended it with a funny remark.
Kota Takai started preseason training at Hotspur Way after receiving his work permit earlier this week.
The 20-year-old, who comes from the J-League team Kawasaki Frontale with a great reputation, will have a difficult time adjusting to the pressure and speed of the Premier League.
Given Thomas Frank’s wealth of alternatives, Takai has set his sights on joining the Tottenham team, but that won’t be that simple.
Following the Tottenham fitness test, Kota Takai responds in a humorous way.
Football. After watching the training video of Takai that Tottenham Hotspur made public, London noticed that the defense was being followed by a translator.
They did see, though, that the child did comprehend the fitness coaches’ messages and even replied in English, indicating that he shouldn’t have any trouble interacting with his new peers.
After that, Takai and his Tottenham colleagues had to finish a 1 km shuttle run in 3 minutes and 15 seconds.

The Japanese defender appeared to finish it more quickly than many of his teammates, which is not surprising considering that he joined Spurs in the middle of the J-League season and is currently in better physical shape.
After the test was over, Takai fell to the ground. When the cameraman questioned him, “How was that, Good?” the center-back shook his head and grinned, saying, “Not good.”
Why this season at Spurs, Takai will need to exercise patience
Takai is a useful squad option for Frank because he can play on both sides of center defense.
In his first few months at Spurs, the 20-year-old is unlikely to see a lot of playing time, though. In addition to Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Kevin Danso, Radu Dragusin, and Ben Davies, he may also face Ashley Phillips and Luka Vuskovic, two other young players.
Although Tottenham is reportedly not planning to loan out Takai this summer, it is possible that they will change their minds in January.

In response to Palmeiras’ alleged interest in Richarlison, Tottenham Hotspur supporters have proposed a trade agreement with the Brazilian team.
While teams all around the world have been busy playing in the new FIFA Club World Cup format, Tottenham Hotspur’s season came to an end on the last day of the Premier League campaign.
The tournament has now concluded, with Tottenham’s London rivals lifting the inaugural trophy. While there was only one winner, clubs across other continents took home sizeable rewards thanks to the lucrative prize pool.
A total of £743 million was shared amongst the 32 participating teams, with Palmeiras reaching the quarter-finals and walking away with a staggering £29.1 million for their efforts.
Richarlison is a target for Palmeiras, since Tottenham has set a price of £55 million.
Richarlison from Tottenham is reportedly being pursued by Brazilian team Palmeiras, but the North London team has set a price tag of £55 million, according to GOAL.
After a poor 24/25 season in which he battled ailments, Richarlison, 28, is reportedly for sale. He has two years left on his current contract.
A few days ago, we learned that Richarlison was drawing interest from Brazilian clubs, and that Palmeiras had begun negotiating a summer transfer with Richarlison’s agent.

Many Lilywhite supporters have urged Tottenham to cash in on the Brazilian forward, while others have proposed a player swap deal featuring holding midfielder Richard Rios. Tottenham supporters have not held back in their replies.
Richard Rios has been linked to Spurs throughout the summer, but his stellar Club World Cup play has put them up against Premier League opponents.
“Drive him there myself,” “Get it done, let him go,” and “Time to sell!” were the comments made by three fans. “I like Richy but £55 million come on lads,” jokingly said one fan. “WHY IS THIS DEAL NOT DONE YET???” said another. “That would be a brilliant move for all parties,” said a last admirer.
Calls for a trade move also surfaced right away, with one fan stating, “Doesn’t Rios play for them? Why not trade us a player and some money if that’s the case? Another person said, “Swap deal.” A third said, “Can we make £40 million and get Richard Rios?” while another said, “Richy is also good with Richard Rios.”
Richard Rios impressed in Club World Cup and fits Tottenham’s midfield needs
Of course, Richarlison has endured a difficult spell during his time at Tottenham, with recurring injuries preventing him from finding form or rhythm.
Last season was arguably his most frustrating yet in a Spurs shirt, as he spent 188 days sidelined through injury, missing 37 matches in total.
It is little surprise that the club are open to selling him, with reports suggesting
Tottenham contacts Inter Milan to sabotage their attempt to acquire a Serie A center-back.
This summer, Tottenham is aggressively seeking a new center-forward. Given Spurs’ need for a holding midfielder and Richard Rios’ impressive performance during the Club World Cup, a possible trade would be advantageous to all sides.

According to reports, Tottenham Hotspur is now
increasing their attempts to sign a young center-back from Serie A who is rapidly becoming one of the most reliable defenders in the top division of Italy.
With Kota Takai joining the team along with Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Radu Dragusin, Kevin Danso, and Ben Davies, Thomas Frank now has a large number of center-backs at his disposal.
Alfie Dorrington, Ashley Phillips, and Luka Vuskovic are three more gifted young defenders that the Dane has at his disposal.
However, the Lilywhites are reportedly considering a move for a Belgian international defender in light of the continuous rumors about Romero’s future at Tottenham.
In recent weeks, a number of reports have stated that Spurs are considering Koni de Winter of Genoa as a possible Romero substitute.
Because of his speed, strength, and skill with the ball, some sources have even said that Tottenham is in the lead to sign Koni De Winter, who has been connected to Vincent Kompany.
Regarding Koni De Winter, Tottenham has contacted Genoa.
The i Paper has now disclosed that Tottenham has contacted Genoa to inquire about the 23-year-old’s availability.

According to the source, the Italian team has told Spurs and De Winter’s other suitors that they are prepared to pay £22 million for the midfielder.
However, Bournemouth, who see the Genoa player as a substitute for Dean Huijsen, and Inter Milan will compete with Tottenham for the Belgian.
According to this source, Inter has an advantage in the competition for De Winter since the defender would prefer to stay in Serie A, which supports what we have heard from Italian publications in recent days.
Does this indicate that there is still uncertainty around Cristian Romero’s future?
After failing to get Tottenham to the bargaining table, some sites have implied in recent weeks that Atletico Madrid had given up on Romero.
But earlier this week, Fichajes reported that Real Madrid would be prepared to focus on Romero as new manager Xabi Alonso tries to strengthen his defense.
