“Transfer shocker: TOTTEHAM beats Real Madrid and Fulham to sign £220m target, as confirmed by his agent after victory!” DONE DEAL

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Tottenham are “trying their best to keep” Harry Kane in north London this summer.

The England captain could have a tough choice to make over the next few weeks if Bayern Munich make an acceptable offer for his services with Thomas Tuchel desperate to bring him to the Allianz Arena.

Kane has just a year remaining on his contract at Tottenham and will be able to leave on a free transfer next summer if Spurs don’t tie him down to a new deal.

But Romano has revealed that Tottenham will try to persuade Kane to stay at the club despite his interest in joining Bayern Munich this summer.

Romano wrote in his Caught Offside column: “As mentioned on yesterday’s Debrief Podcast, the reason Bayern Munich sound so confident in public about Harry Kane is because that is the feeling behind the scenes at the club. The feeling of the people working on this deal is that Kane wants the move to happen.

“Thomas Tuchel looks to be playing a key role, as he is obsessed with signing Kane and is pushing both with Bayern and with those close to the player.

“Still, this is not necessarily the feeling at Tottenham, so the coming days will surely be crucial in this saga. Spurs are trying their best to keep Kane. A new contract will be offered of course, as well as offensive football in the new project under Ange Postecoglou.

“There will also be assurances over new transfers, with signings like James Maddison are already showing how ambitious Tottenham will be. They will do their best, again and again. But Bayern will insist, as I said.

“Tottenham are exploring the striker situation, but it’s not something advanced yet. Their plan is to try to keep Kane, and they will fight until the end of the window, but in case he leaves they could also be ready to attack the strikers market, though it could depend on the domino effect of other deals.

“At the moment there is nothing close with any player, but what I can reveal is that what the agent of Victor Roque, who has just joined Barcelona, said in public about Tottenham wanting the player, while I can’t confirm them making a €100m bid, I can confirm that Tottenham tried when the deal was not closed yet with Barcelona.

“Another deal Tottenham will work on is Edmond Tapsoba, with talks planned with Bayer Leverkusen next week, while Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven is another option.

“The asking price is the key point of these two negotiations – Spurs are speaking to both Bayer Leverkusen and Wolfsburg because they hope for some creative formula, trying to include players into deals for example. Tapsoba is more expensive than Van de Ven, for sure.

“In terms of outgoings at Tottenham, there’s lot of interest in Giovani Lo Celso, especially from Napoli and Real Betis but other clubs could join the race soon.”

After James Maddison, Ange Postecoglou now says another Tottenham signing has really impressed him already

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has lauded Guglielmo Vicario as an ‘exceptional’ goalkeeper.

Postecoglou was speaking to the media in Australia as he prepares his Tottenham side for a pre-season clash against West Ham tomorrow.

The Aussie boss was asked about Spurs’ goalkeeper situation, with club captain Hugo Lloris set to leave the club this summer.

Of course, Tottenham have already brought in the Frenchman’s replacement in Vicario, with the Italian shot-stopper making the switch from Empoli last month.

And with back-up goalkeeper Fraser Forster currently out injured, Postecoglou was asked if Spurs could be in the market for another option between the sticks.

But the former Celtic boss played down the suggestion and heaped praise on his new No1 Vicario.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has lauded Guglielmo Vicario as an ‘exceptional’ goalkeeper.

Postecoglou was speaking to the media in Australia as he prepares his Tottenham side for a pre-season clash against West Ham tomorrow.

The Aussie boss was asked about Spurs’ goalkeeper situation, with club captain Hugo Lloris set to leave the club this summer.

But the former Celtic boss played down the suggestion and heaped praise on his new No1 Vicario.

Postecoglou impressed with Vicario

Speaking to Football.London, Postecoglou suggested he’s already been very impressed with Vicario.

“So far, Fraser is not with us, he’s obviously recovering from his injury but it’s fair to say that Guglielmo Vicario has settled in really well with the group,” the Spurs boss said. “He’s a good guy and an exceptional goalkeeper.

“At the moment I’m pretty comfortable. It’s fair to say that my interests are kind of elsewhere in terms of incoming goalkeepers at the moment.”

Vicario enjoyed an exceptional campaign in Serie A last season and was attracting interest from the likes of Inter Milan and Juventus before joining Spurs.

Vicario enjoyed an exceptional campaign in Serie A last season and was attracting interest from the likes of Inter Milan and Juventus before joining Spurs.

The 26-year-old was brought in after Spurs cooled their interest in Brentford’s David Raya due to his asking price.

But the Italy international looks set to have a bright future ahead of him and if he manages to adjust to Premier League football, he could prove to be an astute piece of business from Spurs.

Of course, Vicario has big shoes to fill after Lloris has captained the Spurs side between the sticks over the past few years.

It will be intriguing to see how he fares and Spurs fans will get to take a first look at their new goalkeeper against West Ham tomorrow.

Postecoglou already heaped praise on James Maddison as he faced the media for the first time last week and it seems he’s happy with Spurs’ business during the summer window so far.

Ange Postecoglou confirms £13m player is leaving Tottenham despite impressing him in training

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has admitted club captain Hugo Lloris has impressed in training but will be leaving the club this summer.

Postecoglou was speaking to the media for the first time – via Football London – after arriving in Australia as part of their pre-season tour.

The Australian coach has selected a very strong squad as he looks to assess his options ahead of the upcoming season.

Several first-team players, however, have been left behind for various reasons.

The likes of Ryan Sessegnon, Rodrigo Bentancur and Bryan Gil all missed out through injury.

However, Hugo Lloris was also left behind as he seeks a move away from the club.

The French World Cup winner has been a constant in the Spurs side for over a decade now.

Ange Postecoglou admitted he’s been impressed with Lloris in training since arriving at Tottenham.

The £13m goalkeeper was given the choice of whether or not he wanted to take part in the tour as he decides on his future.

He’ll be supporting his teammates from the other side of the world as they get ready for another Premier League campaign.

Asked about the Tottenham captain, Postecoglou said: “I had a really good chat with Hugo. I left it up to him about whether he wanted to come along because I felt he deserved that.

“I’ve only spoken to him a couple of times but seen how good he is in training.

“It’s probably not the way he wanted to end his time at Tottenham with all that he’s contributed, but it’s a positive. He’s contributed so much.”

Postecoglou acted quickly to replace Lloris this summer, bringing in Empoli goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario before pre-season training began.

The Italian has big gloves to fill as although Lloris struggled at times last season, he’s pulled off plenty of incredible saves in his time.

The Italian has big gloves to fill as although Lloris struggled at times last season, he’s pulled off plenty of incredible saves in his time.

Lloris’s main weakness was with the ball at his feet, something Vicario should be more comfortable with.

It’s a signal of how Postecoglou wants his team to play heading into the new campaign.

Spurs fans won’t have to wait long to see their new goalkeeper in action.

Unfortunately, it appears as though their last chance to say goodbye was at half-time in their drubbing away at Newcastle last season.
