Tottenham drop interest in Premier League midfielder despite Morgan Gibbs-White snub

Tottenham insider, Paul O’Keefe, has ruled out the possibility of Tottenham pursuing an English midfielder, who has been heavily linked with a move to N17 all summer.

Tottenham have been backed to turn to other options after being snubbed by Gibbs-White, who has signed a new three-year contract at Nottingham Forest.

Spurs fans are understandably getting impatient and want to see new faces arrive through the door, now that we are just over two weeks away from the UEFA Super Cup clash against PSG.

However, a Spurs insider has now ruled out the possibility of Tottenham turning to an Aston Villa star as a potential alternative to Gibbs-White.

Tottenham will not be signing Jacob Ramsey this summer

A recent report in TBR Football revealed that Harvey Elliott, Jacob Ramsey and James McAtee are on Spurs’ radar after Gibbs-White turned down a move to N17.

However, Paul O’Keefe has now revealed on social media that Tottenham Hotspur will not be making a move for Ramsey this summer.

He claimed that the decision makers at the North London club are “decidedly against” signing the Villa star.

How much would Tottenham have to pay for Harvey Elliott?

Over the last few days, Elliott has become the attacking midfielder most heavily linked with a move to Tottenham.

It has been asserted that Thomas Frank is ready to promise Elliott the number ten role to convince him to come to N17.

However, the Reds star will not come cheap, with some sources claiming that Liverpool want a fee of over £50m for Elliott this summer.

Heung-min Son was the only Tottenham player to tell Thomas Frank something important this summer

After Heung-min Son confirmed that he will be leaving Tottenham, a new report has now shed light on the South Korean’s first conversation with Thomas Frank this summer.

It is the end of an era at Tottenham Hotspur, with Son confirming that he will be leaving Spurs after a decade-long stay at the club.

In many ways, it was a fairytale ending to his time at N17, with Son captaining Tottenham to just their third European title in his final competitive game for the Lilywhites.

Thomas Frank has said that he would have loved to work with Son, but the Dane backed the South Korean star’s decision and suggested that the timing was perfect.

What Heung-min Son told Thomas Frank when he arrived at Tottenham

The Athletic have now revealed that although Son only announced his decision on Saturday morning, it had been made a while back.

The report says that when Frank was announced as Ange Postecoglou’s successor, he spoke to several senior members of the Tottenham squad.

Son informed the Danish coach then that he had decided to call time on his decade-long stay at N17.

The outlet adds that no other player at the club expressed his desire to leave to Frank, with the South Korean being the only one who wanted to depart.

Cristian Romero appears committed to Spurs

This update is significant as we have been hearing all summer from the Spanish media that Cristian Romero was really keen on joining Atletico Madrid.

However, this report from The Athletic suggests that the Argentine certainly did not push for a move, and just a couple of days ago, Romero sent a big hint that he is staying at Tottenham.

According to some sources, Romero is now the favourite to replace Son as Spurs captain, with Frank expected to make a final decision ahead of the Club World Cup clash.

Tottenham fans react emotionally as Heung-min Son announces Spurs exit after 10 years

Heung-min Son’s heartfelt farewell has stirred Tottenham supporters to their core, and the emotional reaction online shows just how much the South Korean icon has meant to those at N17.

As the famous cliché often goes, “Do not cry because it is over, smile because it happened.” Well, you cannot tell Tottenham fans not to cry, because after a decade-long stay at N17, club captain Heung-min Son has now confirmed his departure.

Ten years of loyalty, moments of brilliance amidst the turbulence, and finally elation, as Heung-min Son leaves Tottenham Hotspur not just as another player, but as a bona fide club legend.

In his own words, “I came as a boy and leave as a young man” – and no one could argue with that, as Son has come on in leaps and bounds since pulling on a Tottenham shirt aged 23, scoring memorable goals and ending the club’s 17-year wait for a trophy just last season after winning the Europa League.

Tottenham fans react to Heung-min Son exit announcement

It is a painful moment for many fans, who have now taken to X to send messages to their very own club legend.

One fan said: “Build the statue.” Another commented: “Club legend. One of the best Tottenham and Premier League players of all time. What a guy! 💙”

A third simply stated: “Legend.” A fourth Tottenham fan added: “Heung-min Son, you are an absolute legend of the game and of the Premier League. Watching you play has been a delightful experience, but watching you being the man you are, full of grace and respect, has been an even greater joy and honour. You deserve this.”
