(DEAL CONFIRMED)Tottenham has signed former Chelsea striker REPORT

Premier League club – namely Manchester United.

However, the possibility of Kane going means the north London club have to have a potential replacement lined up. And, according to Onda Cero, Atletico Madrid attacker Joao Felix could be on his way back to the capital.

The Portugal international is now back in Spain after his loan stay at Chelsea came to an end.

Atletico, however, are keen on offloading the player permanently, while the player himself is also open to leaving.

The reports states that while there are no offers on the table for him so far, Tottenham and Aston Villa are two clubs that could be interested in signing him.

Felix wants Champions League football
However, he only wants to play for a side that will be playing Champions League football next season.

Spurs have no European football to speak of at all, while Villa are at least in the Europa Conference League next term.

This means that unless Felix becomes open to moving to a club that are not going to be playing the elite competition next season, a move to join Ange Postecoglou in north London is unlikely.

The Australian is looking to shake up a squad that massively underperformed last season and ended up finishing eighth in the table.

Leicester playmaker James Maddison is one big name on his wanted list, although Newcastle are also chasing the England star and can once again offer top-level European football.

As for Felix, the 23-year-old only scored four times in 20 games for a struggling Chelsea side last season and did not fully look like he got up to speed with the English game.

Tottenham are preparing for another new era under Ange Postecoglou after they confirmed him as their new manager.

Spurs are looking to kick on under the former Celtic man and are prepared to back him in the market over the summer.

However, key players within the Spurs squad will also be hoping to kick on under the new boss and according to The Athletic, Spurs insiders are particularly keen on seeing how Cristian Romero does.

According to The Athletic, there is a hope that Postecoglou can bring the very best out of Romero. After a brilliant start to his Spurs career, his club form dipped at times last term despite winning the World Cup with Argentina.

It’s claimed that Romero’s pace will be of interest to Postecoglou if he plays a similar way to how he has had his Celtic side set up.

With that in mind, the £42m signing is expected to be a key player under the Aussie.

With that in mind, the £42m signing is expected to be a key player under the Aussie.

Currently on a whopping £165k-a-week contract, Romero is one of the very top earners at Tottenham. Postecoglou, then, will be keen to see Romero produce the goods given the outlay.

Time to shine
There is so much focus on Harry Kane at Tottenham that a lot of the other players often either go under the radar or don’t step up like Kane does.

For Romero, he needs to be stepping up to the plate. This is a World Cup winning defender who was outstanding in Qatar.

Spurs paid huge money for him as well and next season, he needs to show his worth properly.

Romero is a quality player on his day. But he needs to iron out the rash errors in his game and under Postecoglou, he could well flourish
