João Palhinha to Spurs: Here We Go
Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement with Bayern Munich to sign João Palhinha on a season-long loan with an option to buy for €30 million next summer. The final green light was given on Tuesday morning, with Palhinha undergoing a medical in Germany later that day. Spurs will cover the full wages of the Portuguese international.
Palhinha gave the move his approval after a personal conversation with Thomas Frank, who sees the 30-year-old as an ideal fit for his midfield structure. Frank is reportedly thrilled with the deal, believing Palhinha’s leadership, aggression, and quality in the centre of the park will elevate Spurs’ midfield.
Mikey Moore Joins Rangers on Loan
Tottenham academy talent Mikey Moore has officially joined Scottish Premiership side Rangers on a season-long loan for the 2025/26 campaign. Moore had plenty of suitors across the Championship, but he chose Rangers as his preferred destination for regular first-team football.
Rangers manager Russell Martin was full of praise for the youngster, stating: “His profile as a brave, aggressive attacking player is one that we were keen to add to the squad, and he is certainly a player who, despite his age, can make an impact on the team from day one.”
Tyrese Hall Loan Decision Imminent
Spurs midfielder Tyrese Hall is attracting significant interest from Championship, League One, and League Two clubs. According to journalist Pete O’Rourke, a decision on his loan destination is expected within the next 24 hours. Tottenham see Hall as a high-potential player who would benefit from consistent senior football.
Heung-Min Son Transfer Talks Ongoing
Talks between Tottenham and Los Angeles FC over a potential transfer for captain Heung-Min Son are ongoing. Florian Plettenburg reports that Spurs have been informed of LAFC’s continued interest, but no agreement or decision has been reached.
Son is still expected to travel with the Spurs squad to South Korea for their pre-season tour, a critical clause in their tour contract. Any decision on his future will likely come after the Newcastle friendly in Seoul. Son has also attracted interest from Saudi clubs, but MLS appears to be his preferred non-European option.
Tottenham Rekindle Interest in Randal Kolo Muani
According to The Times, Spurs have revived their interest in French forward Randal Kolo Muani. However, Alasdair Gold has pushed back against those reports, stating that renewed links are currently “wide of the mark.”
With Son’s future uncertain, Tottenham may be keeping their options open for a marquee attacking addition, but at present, Kolo Muani is not believed to be a serious target.
Tottenham Make Moves for Ronald Araújo
Spanish outlet Fichajes reports that Spurs are showing serious intent to sign Uruguayan defender Ronald Araújo. The Barcelona centre-back has long been admired by several top European clubs, but Tottenham are reportedly among the most proactive in pursuing him.
This would mark a significant defensive reinforcement for Thomas Frank’s side, but a deal will depend on Barcelona’s willingness to sell and the player’s desire to move to North London.
Spurs in Market for Left-Back Reinforcement
According to journalist Ed Aarons, Tottenham are actively looking to strengthen the left-back position. While no specific names have yet emerged, the club is keen to add more competition and depth to a position currently occupied by Destiny Udogie, Ben Davies and Djed Spence.
With Thomas Frank placing a high value on full-backs who can contribute to both defensive solidity and attacking build-up, expect movement in this area in the coming weeks.
