Tottenham Hotspur’s summer window is heating up — with marquee names, rising youth talent, and midfield reshuffling all in motion. Here’s the latest from Hotspur Way, with developments on Heung-Min Son, João Palhinha, Morgan Gibbs-White, and more.
🇰🇷 Son Heung-Min Targeted by LAFC and Saudi Clubs
Tottenham legend Heung-Min Son is attracting serious interest from abroad — again.
-
LAFC have formally approached Spurs and Son over a blockbuster summer transfer, according to multiple reports including Fabrizio Romano and The Athletic.
-
Spurs want around £50 million, but negotiations are still at an early stage.
-
There’s also renewed Saudi interest, with Al-Ittihad revisiting a potential deal after failing to lure Son last year with a £25m-a-year offer.
Despite all the noise, a decision is unlikely until after Spurs’ Asia tour, as Son’s inclusion is essential to a lucrative “key player clause” tied to their match in South Korea.
💰 Palhinha Deal Progressing — Bissouma Exit Looming?
Spurs are advancing in talks to sign João Palhinha from Bayern Munich. Mike McGrath reports that there’s a “strong possibility” of a deal, though Spurs may need to sell first.
The most likely exit? Yves Bissouma, who has drawn interest from Fenerbahçe, Juventus, and AC Milan in recent weeks.
🧠 Gibbs-White in Portugal, But Spurs Still Hopeful
Morgan Gibbs-White flew out with the Nottingham Forest squad to Portugal for pre-season, according to John Percy. Spurs remain keen, with Jacob Ramsey and Harvey Elliott named as backup options should the deal collapse.
While no breakthrough has occurred yet, sources indicate Gibbs-White remains open to the move, and a second Spurs offer could soon test Forest’s resolve.
🧩 Ramsey & Elliott on Spurs’ Creative Radar
-
Jacob Ramsey is now under serious consideration by Spurs. The £50 million-rated Villa midfielder is seen as a dynamic, progressive option to bolster Thomas Frank’s attacking midfield.
-
Harvey Elliott is another alternative, with Paul O’Keefe revealing Spurs could turn to the Liverpool playmaker if the MGW deal stalls.
🔁 Loan & Permanent Deals: Keeley, Phillips, and Devine
-
Ashley Phillips has rejoined Stoke City on loan for the 2025/26 season.
-
Josh Keeley has sealed a permanent transfer to Luton Town, with Spurs including both a buy-back and sell-on clause in the deal.
-
Millwall are interested in signing Alfie Devine permanently, per Daniel Marsh.
🔥 Other Transfer Targets: Kalimuendo, Garnacho, Zabarnyi
-
Arnaud Kalimuendo is a hot name — with Tottenham, Leipzig, Villarreal, and Forest all interested. Rennes will listen to offers in the €30–35m range.
-
Alejandro Garnacho is on Spurs’ watchlist, and sources believe £40 million could land the Manchester United winger.
-
Spurs have registered interest in Illia Zabarnyi, but PSG remain front-runners, while Marc Guehi remains under consideration.
⚪ Final Word
Spurs’ summer plans are gaining momentum. With Son’s future up in the air, Palhinha talks progressing, and multiple youth moves unfolding, Daniel Levy and Thomas Frank are shaping a refreshed squad ahead of a pivotal campaign.
