Hello and welcome to the Tottenham transfer roundup for the day! Since this is another 5-page slider, it goes to show that the London outfit are going to be busy this summer! So here’s what the town folks gossip about them!


#5 Davinson reveals why he signed new deal

Tottenham center-back Davinson Sanchez revealed his reason to sign a new deal with Spurs just a season after joining.

“I’ve enjoyed it so much this season because I have quality team-mates, I have quality staff guiding me and I have a quality training ground to work at,” TeamTalk quoted him.

“I’ve learned so much from everyone, not just from the other centre-backs like Jan, like Toby, Juan, and also Victor and Eric Dier when they play in this position but I pick up things from every player and of course from the gaffer.

“He was a defender, he’s shown me a lot of videos on how to improve and I can say okay, the gaffer is close to me because every time he tries to show me the best way to play, I try to do what he is thinking. For me, Tottenham was a big step but now I enjoy everything.”

#4 Danny Rose speaks

Rose to stay

Speaking of Danny Rose, the full-back, who had an injury-marred year, expects to be fighting for a spot with Ben Davies next season.

"[The interview] happened 10 months ago," Rose was quoted by ESPN.

"I regret nothing, I didn't tell any lies. But there's no point talking about it. I like to think everyone has moved on. I'm here and I'm looking forward to coming back to preseason, and hopefully, me and Ben [Davies] can start fresh and fight for the No. 1 position. I fancy myself against anybody in the league."

#3 Poch to snub Chelsea

The Poch man

With the departure of Antonio Conte set in stone, Chelsea have targeted Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino to take over the reins from the Italian. Pochettino had previously hinted that his future with Spurs depends on the signings that the club makes, leaving an ambivalent feeling about his future with the club.

However, according to Daily Star, the Russell Crowe lookalike is set to snub the Blues in order to stay with his current club as Daniel Levy is willing to back his superstar manager and help the club to glory in their new stadium.

#2 Spurs summer

Football.london have done us all a favour and listed out the possible ins and outs at Tottenham Hotpsur. They link Jack Butland to the North London outfit as he is up for grabs following Stoke City’s relegation from the Premier League.

In defense, Laywin Kurzawa and Luke Shaw have been named as Danny Rose’s replacement while Andre Gomes is the man they could go for in midfield should Dembele leave. Malcom, Sessegnon, Bale (who was signed from Spurs for a €100 million), Jan-Fiete Arp and Anthony Martial have also been named.

#1 Christian Freaking Pulisic

America's finest

Now this would be one hell of a deal should Daniel Levy pull this off! According to Calcio Insider, Tottenham are set to meet with American superstar’s asking price and sign him this summer.

While the website couldn’t get any information about how much Dortmund rate him at, Mirror earlier reported that the super-talented youngster is valued at £40 million – and Spurs are willing to meet it, say Calcio Insider.
