A top-performing Spurs player this season is considering a move to Saudi Arabia this summer, and it is believed Tottenham are open to it as well.

Over a dozen players facing Tottenham axe before 24/25

Reliable source Paul O'Keefe, who regularly breaks news out of N17 on social media, recently claimed that Spurs could be open to offers for over a dozen senior players when the transfer window reopens.

This long list includes both current members of Ange Postecoglou's squad and players currently out on loan elsewhere, and we can hazard a pretty good guess as to who will be on the chopping block.

Bryan Gil, Giovani Lo Celso, Troy Parrott, Joe Rodon, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Tanguy Ndombele, Sergio Reguilon, Japhet Tanganga, Manor Solomon, Emerson Royal and Djed Spence have all been linked with Tottenham exits this summer, while some are more likely than others.

Leeds are said to be desperate to sign Rodon permanently, while Alasdair Gold has stated that both Reguilon and Spence don't feature in Postecoglou's plans moving forward.

Fabrizio Romano, meanwhile, has backed Hojbjerg could leave Tottenham after a season of very few opportunities in Postecoglou's starting elevens. The Dane's contract also expires in 2025, so chairman Daniel Levy will most likely want to sell for a reasonable fee before Hojbjerg can go for nothing.

One player who could surprisingly be put up for sale, though, is striker Richarlison. The 26-year-old has been one of Postecoglou's most effective men when fit and available, with only Son Heung-min registering more goal contributions (26) than Richarlison in the league this season (15).

Signed from Everton for £60 million in 2022, the Brazilian has come into his own despite a very tough debut campaign under Antonio Conte.

Richarlison eyeing Saudi move with Tottenham open to selling

According to The Boot Room, intermediaries have made it clear Richarlison is interested in making a move to Saudi, where newly-promoted Al-Qadisiyah are targeting the player.

Tottenham are also believed to be open to the idea of selling their forward this summer, despite his form and praise from Postecoglou for turning his N17 career around.

“Since he’s come back, fair to say he feels a lot better physically and I think that’s helped him mentally as well," said Postecoglou on Richarlison after he scored a brace against Newcastle earlier this term.

"Great for him to get two goals today but it wasn’t just his goals. I thought his general work rate, obviously his energy and physicality, was very good for us."

Manchester United and Sir Jim Ratcliffe have set their sights on signing a £70m star this summer “regardless of who the manager is”, according to Sky Sports.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Man Utd transfer comments

Ratcliffe and INEOS look set to have a big summer ahead of them, with Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox already brought to Old Trafford as chief executive officer and technical director, with Dan Wilcox still waiting to join from Newcastle United as sporting director.

Whether it be Erik ten Hag in charge or another new manager, the Red Devils playing squad could see some high-profile changes ahead of the 2024/25 campaign, with Raphael Varane set to leave when his contract expires. Another big earner in Casemiro could potentially follow the defender out the exit door.

In regards to incomings, Ratcliffe hinted back in March that superstar signings such as Jude Bellingham or Kylian Mbappe were unlikely under his leadership, instead looking to unearth future stars.

“He’s a great footballer [Bellingham] but it’s not where our focus is. The solution isn’t spending a lot of money on a couple of great players. They’ve done that, if you look at the last 10 years. The first thing we need to do is get the right people in the right boxes, managing and organising the club. We must make sure we get recruitment right, such a vital part of running a football club is getting recruitment right, finding new players.

“I’d rather find the next Mbappe, rather than spend a fortune to buy success. It’s not that clever to buy Mbappe, anybody could figure that one out.”

Even though Ratcliffe said spending a lot of money isn’t the solution, replacing Varane appears to be top of the United agenda heading into the summer window, which could come at a cost.

Sky confirm Man Utd interest in £70m Branthwaite

One player who has been linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent months is Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite. Sky Sports News have now provided a new update on Utd and the defender, saying on Wednesday lunchtime:

“News just into us, now Manchester United are interested in signing Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton. United are big admirers of the centre-back, who was recently selected in the England training squad for Euro 2024.

“Recruiting in the heart of the defence has been earmarked as a priority position for the FA Cup winners. Of course, Raphael Varane departed the club following that win and Branthwaite is high among the names to be discussed regardless of who the manager is next season.

“Branthwaite is thought to be valued in the region of £60m-70m by Everton, who must sell on of their main assets before the end of June to stay in line with PSR. It means Branthwaite may become the more likely player to attract offers before June 30th. He’s also been tracked by Manchester City and Tottenham last season.”

The 21-year-old made 41 appearances for Everton during the 2023/24 season in what was arguably a full breakthrough season since moving to Goodison Park.

After sealing promotion to the Premier League, Southampton have reportedly set their sights on a new forward for Russell Martin, with a La Liga ace now added to the list.

Southampton transfer news

Having defeated Leeds United at Wembley to seal play-off promotion, the Saints can set their transfer ambitions higher than they may have been prior to that Wembley trip, which has already seen a number of names linked.

Among those names, for example, has been Jack Clarke, who took the Championship by storm once again at Sunderland last season. Now reportedly ready to leave, it could be Southampton who benefit.

If last season is anything to go by too, promoted sides must get their spending right this summer. Burnley, Luton Town and Sheffield United all paid the price for summer windows to forget in the end, with all three heading straight back down to the Championship in ruthless fashion. Looking to avoid the same fate, Southampton have seemingly turned their attention towards La Liga.

ByKelan Sarson May 28, 2024

According to Jack Rosser of The Sun, Southampton are now eyeing a move to sign Ben Brereton Diaz from Villarreal this summer. The Chile international spent the second half of last season on loan at Sheffield United but has now returned to his La Liga parent club, before potentially heading for the exit door once more this summer.

Having got a glimpse of what the forward can do, the Premier League may get a season-long look at Brereton Diaz's quality if Southampton make their move. After failing to keep Sheffield United up, the former Blackburn Rovers man may feel he has unfinished business in the top flight. With Che Adams yet to sign a new deal at St Mary's too, despite reported new hope, Brereton Diaz could ease Southampton's striker concerns.

"Intelligent" Brereton Diaz can ease Adams blow

Whilst reports suggest that Southampton could yet keep hold of Adams, the Saints would be wise to prepare for the Scot's potential exit this summer, which is where Brereton Diaz could come in. A player with international and Premier League experience, Brereton Diaz, who earns a reported £35k-a-week, is also still just 25 years old and may finally rediscover his best form in a full season in England's top flight.

What's more, the Chile international has certainly impressed since switching nationalities, with former manager Eduardo Berizzo saying via The Lancashire Telegraph: “Brereton is very intelligent in his movement and found himself behind rival defenders several times. He was not given the goal, but he is a footballer with many qualities, he did a great performance despite the fact that his league in England stopped a long time ago."

With six Premier League goals in 14 games on loan at Sheffield United, it's clear that Brereton Diaz has the quality to step up to the Premier League on a permanent basis, potentially going a long way to helping Southampton keep hold of their rediscovered top-flight status.

Leeds United have been linked with an audacious transfer move this summer, but it could hinge on promotion to the Premier League.

Leeds looking for midfielders

Midfield has been an issue for Leeds irrespective of whether or not they are promoted from the Championship this season, with Ilia Gruev providing an excellent option for Daniel Farke but little cover beyond that given Archie Gray's emergence as a top quality full back.

In fact, with Gruev injured earlier in the season, Farke mourned that exact issue: "We're missing Ilia a lot. He was in red-hot form and this is why I'm even more delighted.

"We played today without Ilia, without a really top-class right back option. Ilia dictates our rhythm and is so good on the ball, also under pressure. It's no coincidence we lacked a bit of quality in possession, especially in the first half," the Leeds boss explained.

Even before any potential departures, midfield is clearly an area that needs strengthening at the club this summer, and now it seems as though they could have identified one of those additions.

Roma's Bove on the Leeds radar

Now, Farke's side have been credited with an interest in Roma midfielder Edoardo Bove, who is thought to be unhappy in the Italian capital. Bove was among those singled out for praise by Italy boss Luciano Spalletti at the turn of the year, who namechecked the midfielder when quizzed on the future prospects of the Azzurri.

“In recent months, we saw the emergence of players we’d been tracking for a long time such as Kayode, Ranieri, Koleosho and Casadei,” he explained. “Bove is now a certainty. A very fine player.”

But in the months since Daniele De Rossi's arrival at the European giants, Bove has slipped down the pecking order, and has started just twice since February, a situation that has reportedly left him unhappy at his boyhood club.

As a result, local media claim that he could "think about continuing his career elsewhere", with Leeds reportedly tracking him ahead of a potential move.

Roma are under no pressure to part ways with the 22-year-old, with Bove having penned a new deal only months ago, which sees him take home £30,000 a week in the Italian capital. But that does not mean a move won't happen should the youngster decide his time under De Rossi is up this summer.

It is added that while a deal cannot be ruled out if they fail to secure promotion back to the Premier League, Leeds will have a much stronger chance of landing the Italian should they be plying their trade in the top flight next season.

They have the chance to ensure they do just that in the coming weeks, with a win against Norwich and then one of Southampton and West Brom all that is standing between Farke's side and the Premier League once more.

Could Bove be the perfect man to anchor Farke's midfield in the top flight?

After their midweek Carabao Cup encounter, the reigning champions will be back in the Premier League on Saturday as they take on Newcastle United away from home.

Leicestershire 177 for 6 (Delany 68, Lilley 50) beat Durham 147 for 8 by 30 runsLeicestershire chalked up their first win in this year’s Vitality Blast, half-centuries from Gareth Delany and Arron Lilley helping them on their way to a comfortable 30-run victory over a Durham side which has now lost all three matches played.With this year’s Vitality Blast being a ten-game competition – Leicestershire’s first two games, against Derbyshire and Lancashire, were rained off, while Durham lost to Lancashire and Nottinghamshire – there was already something of a ‘must-win’ feel about the match.Batting first after winning the toss, Leicestershire quickly lost Harry Dearden, caught at cover after skying an attempted drive at Paul Coughlin, but Ireland international Delany, regularly clearing his front leg and targeting the off-side, hit the ball cleanly from the start.He was fortunate not to be stumped when he advanced down the wicket to left-arm spinner Liam Trevaskis, wicket-keeper Stuart Poynter failing to gather the ball cleanly, but otherwise gave no chances in going to his half-century off 35 balls, including six fours and two sixes. He had made 68, from 45 deliveries, before Trevaskis finally got his man, top-edging a straightforward catch to Scott Steel short fine leg in the 13th over.The momentum was maintained by Lilley, and in some style. The Lancastrian also had a moment of fortune, on 17, when Rimmington at mid-off was unable to hold a hard-hit drive off the bowling off Brydon Carse, but hit two sixes and five fours in going to his 50 off 33 balls as the Foxes posted a challenging 177 for 6.Needing nine runs an over, Durham struggled from the start. Leicestershire’s seamers judged the wicket well, taking the pace off the ball, and the spinners, led by left-armer Callum Parkinson, maintained the pressure. The key wicket was that of Alex Lees, and while the big left-hander could consider himself unlucky when having made 36 he pulled a delivery from Will Davis straight into the hands of George Rhodes at deep square leg, the pressure was already beginning to tell.Parkinson, Leicestershire’s top wicket-taker in last season’s T20 Blast, picked up three wickets, the last a brilliant caught and bowled to dismiss Carse, and having impressed with the bat, Delany also demonstrated his all-round abilities with some useful leg-spin.

After a season that started with plenty of play-off promise ended with a disappointing 16th-place finish, Sunderland are reportedly set to suffer transfer consequences in the coming months.

Sunderland transfer news

If those at the Stadium of Light could go back in time, then it would be interesting to see whether they would have parted ways with Tony Mowbray in favour of appointing Michael Beale. When the former left, the Black Cats were battling well for a top six place, but by the time his successor departed, their play-off chances were left looking more like a pipe dream than anything else.

Mike Dodds' interim spell in charge didn't help improve things either, resulting in a season to forget on Wearside. Now, Sunderland have been left searching for their next manager in a decision they must get right. The likes of Paul Heckingbottom and Steve Cooper have been linked, but it remains to be seen just who will be stepping into the hot seat.

Whoever it is though, they will reportedly face an instant transfer problem as a result of a frustrating campaign at the Stadium of Light. According to Graeme Bailey, Sunderland will lose Trai Hume this summer as a consequence of their struggles.

Bailey told Sunderland AFC News: ”I think you’re going to lose Hume at right-back too. Well, they were looking to sell the lad you got from PSG [Pembele], but I think one of the right-backs will go. They had originally signed the PSG boy to succeed Hume, but he hasn’t got much of a look in, has he?”

It's quite the blow for Sunderland, who could lose not one, but two right-backs to leave them with no choice other than to turn towards the transfer market for reinforcements. Hume would be a particularly frustrating exit, given his starting role and high praise from Mowbray, who said: "I told him to be patient, that there would be injuries and therefore opportunities, and to make sure that he was ready to grab it.

"Make me think, 'wow'. That's what happened, Lynden has moved on, Luke is at centre back, and Trai has made that position his own."

Hume departure would sum Sunderland's season up

As much as Sunderland will want to look towards positives and starting a new era at the Stadium of Light, Hume's exit would deal them a huge blow, even if the right offer comes in to clear his reported £3k-a-week salary from their wage bill.

His exit would act as a warning sign of just how important at least competing for a place in the Championship's top six is and then, of course, promotion to the Premier League. With or without Sunderland, however, Dodds believes that Hume has top-flight quality, having praised the right-back via Chronicle Live back in March.

Dodds said: “If he carries on the path he is going to, Trai is going to the Premier League. That’s how good I think he is. When you think of full-backs in this league, Trai would definitely be one of the best if not the best full-backs in the league and I don't think there will be many arguments over that."

If he is to exit as predicted by Bailey, then perhaps the Premier League is where Hume is heading this summer. At 22 years old, he's certainly got the time and potential to thrive at the top level.

Chelsea have held talks over signing a potential first signing for incoming new manager Enzo Maresca, with the board already getting prepared to back him.

Maresca reaches agreement to join Chelsea

After guiding Leicester City to Premier League promotion last season, winning the Championship in pole position, it is reliably believed that the former Man City backroom coach is now on the verge of replacing Mauricio Pochettino.

Posts ByTom Lever May 28, 2024

Talks have been held and the likes of reliable transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano have reported that Maresca wants to join Chelsea in the next few days. The 44-year-old, an understudy of Pep Guardiola, is also now Chelsea's unanimously preferred managerial candidate behind-the-scenes (Ben Jacobs) – with Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna out of the running and likely to remain at Portman Road (David Ornstein).

With Maresca already green-lighting a move to Stamford Bridge, the only obstacle in Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali's way right now is compensation with Leicester. Chelsea and the Foxes are currently in negotiations over the financial package to release Maresca from his King Power duties and grant the Italian a move to west London.

Journalist Ben Jacobs, sharing detail on why Chelsea opted for Maresca, claimed that co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley were left impressed with the tactician's squad knowledge and viewed him as the standout candidate after conducting interviews.

"Chelsea like Maresca's fit with their model and have been really impressed by his squad knowledge," wrote Jacobs on X.

"Both sporting director, Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley viewed him as the standout candidate. And the fact he's learned off Pep, obviously another bonus."

It's looking extremely likely that Chelsea finalise the appointment of Maresca soon, as their search for a Pochettino replacement reaches a swift conclusion – coming after they parted company with the Argentine this time last week.

Attention now turns to the transfer market, and how Chelsea will back their prospective new manager. The Blues need a successor for veteran defender Thiago Silva, who waved goodbye to supporters on the final day of the season and has joined Fluminese following the expiry of his Chelsea contract.

Chelsea hold talks with Tosin Adarabioyo over joining

Now, according to inews and journalist Mark Douglas, Silva's heir could well be 6 foot 5 Fulham centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo.

The £2.1 million-per-year giant is free to leave Craven Cottage for nothing on June 30 when his contract expires, and it is believed Chelsea have held talks with Tosin over joining the club on a Bosman deal.

The 26-year-old was a key player under Marco Silva at Fulham over the second half of 2023/24, and could be a pretty astute signing at zero cost if they beat the likes of Newcastle and Man United to his signature.
