Tottenham eye transfer move for goal-scoring winger who’s pushing to leave current club

Tottenham FC

Tottenham are reportedly looking at Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman as another potential transfer target in attack before the end of the summer.

Spurs recently missed out on Eberechi Eze and it’s also known that a deal fell through for Morgan Gibbs-White earlier in the summer, as per BBC Sport.

Now Lookman is emerging as one of Tottenham’s main targets in the attacking midfield department, and the Nigeria international is keen to leave his current club, according to talkSPORT.

Lookman has previously played in the Premier League with clubs like Fulham, Everton, and Leicester City, and failed to make much of an impression.

However, he is now one of Europe’s top goal-scoring wingers, and he’d surely make a fine signing for Spurs.

Ademola Lookman among Tottenham’s transfer targets

Lookman’s future surely lies away from Atalanta, though a deal for him to join Inter Milan fell through earlier this summer, according to talkSPORT.

THFC will hope to be able to succeed where Inter failed, but it remains to be seen how easy it will be to get a deal done for the 27-year-old.

The report also links Spurs with Xavi Simons, in a potential bid to hijack Chelsea’s deal for the Netherlands international.

Can Spurs end the summer on a high?

It’s been a good start to the season for Tottenham under new manager Thomas Frank, but fans would probably feel a lot better with at least one more major signing.

Mohammed Kudus has been an exciting addition this summer, but there’ll surely need to be a few more changes made to the squad that finished 17th in the Premier League last season.

Lookman seems ideal to give Spurs a replacement for the pace and goal threat of Son Heung-min, so fans will surely be keeping a close eye on how this develops in the next few days.

Really important” – Romano provides fresh Xavi Simons update with Tottenham considering a move

Tottenham will not advance with an offer for Xavi Simons whilst Chelsea are still in for him according to Fabrizio Romano.

Chelsea have identified Simons as a player they want to sign, but as of yet have been unable to close a deal with RB Leipzig.

Simons has made it clear he wants to join Chelsea, and has turned down approaches from other clubs, but the clock is now ticking until the end of the window.

Tottenham won’t bid for Xavi Simons whilst Chelsea are still interested

Chelsea have been locked in negotiations with Leipzig for weeks, but can’t move to complete a deal until Christopher Nkunku leaves.

Simons has agreed personal terms with the Blues, and Leipzig are thought to want a total package of £60m, whilst Chelsea reportedly want to agree a deal worth around £50m.

Tottenham have shown interest in Simons, whilst there was reportedly also the threat of a hijack from Manchester City.

Spurs are considering whether to make a bid for Simons at this late stage, but Romano has provided an update on the situation.

“Tottenham will not advance or bid for Xavi Simons while Chelsea are still in for him!,” he told his YouTube channel.

“Chelsea remains in negotiations, and advanced talks with the player.

“It’s really important for Nkunku to go.”

Simons played for Leipzig in their Bundesliga opener on Friday night, but it remains to be seen if he plays this weekend, if a deal still hasn’t been finalised by then.

Christopher Nkunku closes in on AC Milan move

Nkunku holds the key to the Blues being able to move forward, and after links to both Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig it looks like he could be on the move.
