Kudus to Spurs Hits Roadblock Amid West Ham Frustration as Bissouma Eyes Juve and Esteve Links Denied

With pre-season just around the corner and Thomas Frank preparing his squad for a crucial 2025/26 campaign, Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer activity is heating up. But while deals are being discussed across Europe, the Lilywhites find themselves caught between negotiations, denials and delays.

Here’s the latest update on all the key Spurs-related transfer stories:


🇲🇱 Bissouma Wants Juventus Move After Spurs Offer Him Out

Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma is actively pushing for a transfer to Juventus, according to Footie Insider. The Mali international is believed to be one of several players Spurs have offered to clubs around Europe as they streamline the squad for Thomas Frank’s new tactical vision.

Despite flashes of promise, Bissouma has failed to cement a starting place since arriving from Brighton. Juventus, who are on the lookout for midfield depth, appear to be his preferred destination, and a move could gather pace in the coming weeks.


🔄 Maxime Estève Saga – Contradictory Reports Surround Spurs’ Interest

The situation around Maxime Estève has turned into something of a tug-of-war — not between clubs, but between journalists. Loïc Tanzi of L’Équipe reported that Tottenham and Burnley have resumed talks over the 22-year-old French defender, who impressed despite the Clarets’ relegation.

However, that has been flatly denied by multiple Spurs-linked sources. Paul O’Keefe, a reliable insider, states Spurs have held no talks over Estève. Fabrizio Romano backed that up, saying there has been no approach and that Tottenham are currently focused on other targets.

With such conflicting reports, this deal seems unlikely — at least for now.


🇬🇭 Kudus Deal Hits a Wall – Spurs’ Lowball Offer Angers West Ham

The potential blockbuster move for Mohammed Kudus has stalled, and tensions are beginning to rise. According to Bleacher Report, there has been “no progress” as of Tuesday evening, despite Kudus remaining one of Spurs’ top targets this summer.

While West Ham are now willing to do a deal for around £60 million, Tottenham’s current offer — £50 million plus largely unattainable add-ons — has reportedly angered the Hammers, who feel Spurs are not negotiating in good faith.

The Ghanian forward is open to the move, and Spurs are confident he can become a double-digit goalscorer in Thomas Frank’s system. However, the gap in valuation and structure of the offer remains a major sticking point.

Complicating matters further is West Ham’s financial pressure. As reported by Claret & Hugh, the club must raise £40 million by July 15th to avoid refinancing a short-term loan. While this adds urgency on their end, they are said to be standing firm unless Tottenham improve their offer — both in terms of base fee and realistic add-ons.

With intermediaries still working hard behind the scenes, a deal is not off the table. But as it stands, Spurs must come back with a more serious proposal to make any progress.


🧠 Tyler Dibling Attracting Premier League Interest – Spurs Among Suitors

Florian Plettenberg reports that Tottenham are one of several Premier League clubs showing interest in Southampton’s teenage sensation Tyler Dibling. The attacking midfielder has been attracting widespread attention, with Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, and West Ham also reportedly keen.

Saints have not received a concrete offer yet, but are believed to value Dibling between €55–65 million. Their sporting director Tim Steidten described the 18-year-old as a “street footballer” with “exceptional dynamism” and a “special first touch.”

While Spurs are monitoring the situation closely, a deal at that price may depend on player sales or the outcome of other attacking midfield pursuits — such as Kudus.


⚪ Final Thoughts

Spurs’ transfer window is currently a mix of intent and inertia. Thomas Frank knows the profiles he wants — technical midfielders, athletic centre-backs, and dangerous wide attackers — but deals remain complicated by financial posturing and strategic silence.

Expect the next two weeks to be decisive. With West Ham needing to sell, Kudus talks may reignite. Bissouma could be the first notable exit. And if Tottenham choose to go all-in for youth, Tyler Dibling could become one of the window’s most exciting additions.
