Tottenham’s summer transfer business continues to unfold with quiet progress, key decisions, and new names entering the frame. Here’s the latest on Spurs’ activity, from Morgan Gibbs-White to João Palhinha and beyond.
⚖️ Gibbs-White in Limbo Ahead of Forest Tour
Despite intense speculation, Morgan Gibbs-White remains a Nottingham Forest player for now. According to The Athletic, the England international is expected to be part of the squad that flies out for a pre-season training camp in Portugal next week.
Gibbs-White has returned to training with Forest and maintains a positive relationship with manager Nuno Espírito Santo and his teammates. However, his future remains uncertain, with Tottenham still pursuing a deal. Whether this one is delayed or derailed remains to be seen.
🔁 Alfie Dorrington Loaned to Aberdeen
Young defender Alfie Dorrington has completed a loan move to Aberdeen for the 2025/26 campaign. The centre-back impressed in the development ranks and will now look to gain senior minutes in the Scottish Premiership.
✅ Josh Keeley Joins Luton Town
Spurs have also confirmed the permanent departure of goalkeeper Josh Keeley to Luton Town. The 21-year-old joins the League One side with a sell-on clause included in the deal, underlining the club’s belief in his long-term potential.
🔒 Richarlison Committed to Spurs
David Hytner reports that Richarlison remains committed to Tottenham, with no desire to leave unless an “exceptional” opportunity arises. The Brazilian forward is expected to play a key role in Thomas Frank’s plans this season.
🔥 Palhinha Price Drops – Spurs Could Move
Tottenham are now weighing up a move for João Palhinha, with Christian Falk reporting that Bayern Munich are actively lowering their asking price to around €25–30 million. The combative midfielder has long been admired by Spurs, and with Thomas Frank keen to bolster the midfield, this could be a deal to watch closely.
👀 New Targets: Weiper & Kalimuendo
Tottenham have also shown interest in two exciting forwards:
-
Nelson Weiper, per Sebastian Vidal, is on Spurs’ radar. The 19-year-old Mainz striker is highly rated in Germany and seen as a long-term project.
-
Arnaud Kalimuendo, formerly linked with Spurs, remains a topic of discussion. According to Loïc Tanzi, talks have taken place with Rennes, but no progress has been made. Villarreal are also keen on the 22-year-old Frenchman.
🧠 Final Thought
While the Morgan Gibbs-White saga drags on, Tottenham continue making moves behind the scenes. With Palhinha’s price dropping and new youth targets emerging, this is shaping up to be one of the club’s most strategic windows in years.
