With big deals to be done between now and the end of the summer deadline, make sure to follow our new live blog. This live blog has now been closed. According to Italian journalist Gianluigi Longari, Nottingham Forest want to sign Dominic Solanke from Spurs this summer. Solanke joined Spurs from Bournemouth in 2024 for an initial fee of £55million. He has scored 22 goals across two seasons in North London, but according to reports, his stay at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could be about to come to an end. According to the Israeli outlet Y-Net News, a deal between West Ham and Tottenham to sell Manor Solomon is almost done. It claims that the sale could earn Spurs just under £10 million, with the overall fee depending on add-ons, including if West Ham return to the Premier League this season. Speaking to The United Stand, Ben Jacobs claimed Djed Spence has been offered to Manchester United and Liverpool this summer. While Liverpool are not thought to be interested, United could be a possible destination, according to the reporter. England star Spence is believed to want regular minutes and so could leave Tottenham during the window. Jacobs said: “The consensus is that they (Manchester United) need a starting left back with significant experience. "Djed Spence is a name on the player’s side that’s being offered around, he’s been offered to Liverpool, he’s been offered to Manchester United”. Georgian striker Georges Mikautadze is reportedly attracting interest from Spurs, according to Paul O'Keefe, who posted on X. The Villarreal striker scored 15 goals in La Liga last season after joining the Spanish side in September 2025. However, he is under contract at Estadio de la Ceramica until 2031, meaning Spurs may have to dig deep to bring the forward to North London. Liverpool have been told they could be handing a Champions League initiative to Spurs if they sell Cody Gakpo to the North London club. Former Spurs defender Toby Alderweireld said, via the Liverpool ECHO: "I don’t understand why Liverpool would sell Cody Gakpo to Tottenham Hotspur because he is a primary player for any team. "He’s big but he’s quick and can play left and right, coming inside to go direct to goal. When I watch him he’s always in the box when the ball is on the other side of the pitch. He’s a very good player. "Maybe after last season Liverpool feel a bit hurt by how they played under Arne Slot and they want to change a lot with a real makeover now they’ve appointed Andoni Iraola, but I think even for the Netherlands we have seen how good Gakpo is. "If he goes to Spurs, I think it would be a good signing because don’t forget he’s a Premier League winner. He performed very well the year before last season when they won it. "He could make Spurs stronger and Liverpool weaker when they’re fighting for a Champions League place." Spurs have been told to focus on signing Manchester United star Marcus Rashford, instead of Nicolas Jackson and Savinho, by ex- defender Stephen Kelly. “A winger and a centre-forward would be nice but what’s on the market?” Kelly said on Sky Sports. “It’s very difficult to pin down someone that’s going to come in and have an instant impact in that central position. “I like Savinho just because he brings something slightly different. He’s that winger that can get on the ball and drive us forward. I think when [Mohammed] Kudus is fit, we have someone on the right-hand side [who can do that]. Kelly was asked to select his dream Tottenham starting XI for next season. He added: “The one I’ve brought in is Rashford. I just think he suits that profile really well. “Financially, maybe it’s something that Spurs can’t do. But I just feel like he would be exactly what they need on that left-hand side. “I know we’re linked with the other players but I just think goals, threat, dynamic – that’ll suit him.” Jan Paul van Hecke used to constantly argue with Roberto De Zerbi but now he's working with the Italian to take Tottenham to the top. The Dutchman enjoyed a £52million reunion with De Zerbi this summer after the Spurs boss pushed for the north London side to sign the 26-year-old he refers to as 'my son' from Brighton. "I think the most important quality of JP is the balance between the arrogance and the confidence in himself. He is not arrogant but his confidence in himself is high, high, high," De Zerbi once said. "We fought... but we fought in a good way. We spoke a lot together. I am very proud of JP." According to Metro, Tottenham are believed to be weighing up a move for Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson, while Cody Gakpo is also under consideration. Senegal star Jackson had 34 goal contributions in two Premier League seasons at Stamford Bridge, with the Blues thought to be willing to sell him for £65m. Fabrizio Romano has told The Market Madness podcast that there is a “50-50” chance of Cody Gakpo leaving Liverpool for Spurs this summer. “For Gakpo, I think it really depends on the financial package because Liverpool never wanted to sell Gakpo,” he said. “It’s never been a priority this summer, so they are very happy with Gakpo, also, Andoni Iraola, the board. “So, if a big proposal financially arrives and if the player is keen on the move, Liverpool could consider this possibility; otherwise, they are not desperate to sell Gakpo, so that’s why the situation is at the moment, I would say 50-50, but Tottenham are trying.” Cristian Romero has agreed personal terms to join Atletico Madrid, according to talkSPORT. The Spurs captain has been tipped for a summer transfer and has held talks with Inter Milan over a move. Spurs are believed to be demanding around £35million for the defender, which will bring the curtain down on his five-year stay in North London. Conor Gallagher could be set for a quick exit from Spurs, despite only joining in January. Besiktas have attempted to sign him this summer, according to Turkish outlet Sözcü Gazetesi. Besiktas manager Vincenzo Italiano is thought to be a fan of the former Chelsea star, and the club are said to be interested in loaning Gallagher from Spurs this summer. Yet it’s currently unclear if an offer has been made, according to the publication. Sky Sports News has said that Atletico Madrid are in talks with Tottenham over signing Cristian Romero. Figures have reportedly been discussed between the two clubs, but Spurs have yet to receive a formal offer. The news comes after Romero was linked with a shock move to Arsenal, with the Gunners reportedly contacting the player’s reps over a switch. Spurs have slapped a £30million price tag on midfielder Pape Sarr amid interest from Aston Villa, according to Football Insider. Villa are big admirers of Sarr, and the arrivals of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes at Spurs have given Sarr pause for thought over his future in North London, according to the report. Spurs, Newcastle United and Crystal Palace are said to be in for Stuttgart attacking midfielder Bilal El Khannouss this summer. He was linked with Spurs 12 months ago, but instead moved to the Bundesliga club on loan from Leicester City. According to FußballDaten, Spurs have made initial contact with the player's agent to seek out the terms and conditions of a potential deal. Spurs have joined Everton in the race to sign Galatasaray forward Baris Alper Yilmaz, according to Turkish outlet Turkiye Gazeti. The Turkish international has won four top-flight titles during his time with Galatasaray. Turkiye Gazeti has stated that Spurs have made contact to learn the details of a potential deal for the winger, but it’s the Toffees who are set to open negotiations. While Arsenal are understood to admire Romero, it's noted that Spurs are currently 'unaware' of any interest from the club. Tottenham would be highly unlikely to entertain selling their captain to a direct rival, with a move described as having a 'slim' chance of success. Fabrizio Romano has claimed Cristian Romero could join Arsenal this summer, with Spurs' rivals looking to bolster their defence. However, he said Spurs do not want to sell to the Gunners. “On Cuti Romero. I expect Arsenal to sign a centre-back. So, for sure, Arsenal are looking at centre-backs on the market,” the journalist said on his YouTube channel. “Then, this could be probably one of the next priorities, we will see also about the winger of course, and then Bruno Guimaraes official. “Arsenal spoke to the agents of Cuti Romero. Arsenal asked for information on Cuti Romero. The relationship, Arsenal [and] Tottenham, is obviously a complicated relationship. “[It is] way easier for Tottenham to give the green light to Atletico Madrid. My understanding is that the clear favourites to sign Cuti Romero now are Atletico Madrid. “The player is negotiating with them, Atletico Madrid are negotiating with Tottenham. “So, Arsenal ask for information, but Tottenham don’t want to sell to Arsenal, so the only way would be an historical green light from Tottenham to Arsenal.” Arsenal are said to be ‘pushing hard’ to sign Spurs defender Cristian Romero, according to Daily Mail. The Gunners have reportedly reached out to the defender's representatives to sound out the terms of a potential deal. However, it's thought that Atletico Madrid are leading the chase for the Argentinian star. Spurs will sign Man City’s Savinho this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Sky Blues reportedly want £60m for the player and are waiting to sign a replacement before letting him leave. Romano said: “I think at the end of the [summer] transfer window, Savinho has very, very good chances to join Tottenham [Hotspur]. I don’t expect any surprises here.” Talk of Liverpool moving for Spurs defender Djed Spence appears to be wide of the mark. The full-back has been rumoured with an exit from North London this summer, but the Liverpool ECHO has claimed that the Reds have no intention of moving for the player. Journalist Ben Jacobs has also reported that the Reds will not be signing Spence. He said: “Spence is open to a move away from Spurs and has been offered to several clubs, but LFC are focused on other targets as it stands.” According to a report by TEAMtalk, Spurs have made contact with Chelsea over a deal for Pedro Neto. A move for the Portuguese star is said to be seen as an alternative to Manchester City’s Savinho. Chelsea are believed to be open for Neto to leave Stamford Bridge for around £60million, with City also thought to be interested in the forward. Fabrizio Romano claims that Spurs have a verbal agreement with Micky Van de Ven over a new long-term contract. Van de Ven had been linked with an exit for some time. However, the Dutch defender will reportedly receive a significant pay boost at the club as part of the new contract. Tottenham Hotspur will have to break the bank to sign Cody Gakpo from Liverpool. The 27-year-old winger has been heavily linked with a move to the Lilywhites this summer as Roberto De Zerbi looks to strengthen his attacking options, but the price tag could prove to be an issue. Football.london understands that Spurs are interested in signing Gakpo, whose contract at Anfield expires in June 2030. According to Dutch outlet VI, the Reds want at least £60m for the Dutchman, whom they signed from PSV Eindhoven for just £40m in December 2022.
