Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal are all interested in signing Ross Barkley from Everton on transfer deadline day, which could spark a late bidding war as all three clubs look to land their man. 

Chelsea have already had a £25m rebuffed by the Toffees, who are thought to be holding out for at least £30m. The Premier League champions will be desperate to get somebody through the door before the transfer deadline, having missed out on a number of key targets.

Recently, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has signed for Liverpool after he rejected a move to Chelsea from Arsenal. To rub salt in the wounds, Spurs are set to steal Swansea striker Fernando Llorente from under their noses. Antonio Conte will be largely unimpressed by the events of the last couple of days, and will be hoping that Chelsea can land Barkley.

Arsenal on the other hand have declared they have no interest in Leicester winger Riyad Mahrez, and will be looking to add another creative player to their ranks before the 11pm deadline tonight. Ross Barkley could prove to be a prime target before tonight’s deadline according to reports. They may well lose Alexis Sanchez to Manchester City and might be looking for a new playmaker to replace him.

Spurs have been interested in Barkley all summer if you believe various reports and might be leaving it late to make a bid for one of their man targets. Mauricio Pochettino is a huge admirer of the attacking-midfielder and has been pushing Daniel Levy to make a move. Ronald Koeman has been undecided all summer whether the Englishman will leave Goodison Park or not.

With all three London rivals interested in the Everton midfielder, the Toffees could well get their full asking price for Barkley. The closer this transfer saga drags on up until the deadline, the more desperate clubs will be to get a new playmaker through the door and the bids could get higher and higher.

Where will Barkley end up at the 11pm deadline tonight?

Tottenham look like they will be busy today and we’ve accumulated all the latest stories to give you a transfer update as of 1pm on transfer deadline day. 10 hours to go…

Serge Aurier

Is officially a Tottenham player! The club announced the news on their official Twitter page around 30 minutes ago. Aurier is going to be Kyle Walker’s replacement at the club, so overall it’s very good for Tottenham to get this one done.

Demerai Gray

Leicester City appear reluctant to part with Gray today and have turned down a £25million bid from Bournemouth on deadline day. Tottenham have also been heavily linked with a move, but it seems a bid in excess of £30million would be needed for Leicester to part with Gray. Tottenham are reportedly ahead of Bournemouth in the race to sign Gray though, so this is certainly one worth keeping your eyes on as the day develops.

Fernando Llorente

Chelsea and Tottenham remain locked in a battle to sign Llorente today. Tottenham have agreed a fee with Swansea, but the problem now lies in agreeing a contract with the Spanish forward. Llorente would give Tottenham something they don’t have currently in attack, and would provide a brilliant alternative attacking option to Kane, but is he prepared to play second fiddle to the Englishman? You’ve got to hedge your bets today as to what exactly will happen. You can do so at Grande Vegas mobile casino if Deadline Day is boring you!

Vincent Janssen

If Llorente arrives then you can expect Janssen to be on his way. West Brom are interested in a £25million deal. Incredibly, Tottenham look set to make a profit on Janssen if he was to leave. This would be a masterstroke by Levy considering the players form in his debut season at the club.

Ross Barkley

Who knows where Barkley will end up today? There are no significant developments on this one but Barkley remains likely to leave today with several Premier League clubs interested in his services. The player is currently injured and that currently complicates any move. Chelsea are favorites but no club currently appears willing to meet Everton’s £30million+ valuation for Barkley, who is out of contract at the end of the season.

Spurs have been in the news already on transfer deadline day as they look to complete the signings of Serge Aurier and Fernando Llorente. Here are three other players that Spurs need to target to make it a very successful transfer deadline day.

1) Demarai Gray

Leicester City’s Demarai Gray is absolutely desperate to play more first team football. Could a move to Spurs be a perfect escape from the King Power Stadium.

First team minutes have been few and far between for Gray under Craig Shakespare and Spurs reportedly entered the race for the winger last week. Bournemouth have already seen a £25m bid for Gray rejected on deadline day according to Sky Sources, so it will take a bid upwards of that to tempt Leicester into selling up.

Leicester do not want to sell at this moment in time and following rejecting that £25m bid from the Cherries, the Foxes are readying a new bumper contract to offer Gray, who is currently on international duty with the U-21s.

With the Premier League, Champions League, EFL Cup and later on in the season, the FA Cup, Spurs have plenty of competitions to juggle, which could present plenty of chances for Demarai Gray to get some first team minutes under his belt.

If Spurs’ attempts to sign Fernando Llorente do not pay off, they could sign young free-scoring sensation Moussa Dembele to provide competition for Harry Kane. 

Tottenham, like many other Premier League clubs last summer, were interested in securing the striker’s services, but he chose to move to Scottish Champions Celtic, where he has proved to be a revelation, scoring on 32 occasions last season alone.

Following a sensational season in the Scottish Premiership, Mauricio Pochettino has reignited his interest in the striker. French football journalist Manu Lonjon claimed on Twitter that Spurs and Dembele representitives have held talks twice over a potential late move to North London.

The lack of competition for Harry Kane became evident last summer, so Spurs drafted in Vincent Janssen from AZ Alkmaar for £17m to provide backup for the England international. After a positive start, it looked like only a matter of time before Janssen started finding the net.

However, the Dutchman has netted just once from open play since his arrival, and is experiencing similar problems to those experienced by misfit Roberto Soldado a couple of years ago, who incidentally also worse the number nine shirt.

With Spurs keen to find a replacement for Janssen, his time at Spurs looks like it could come to a premature end. Stoke and West Brom are both reportedly interested in taking on the striker, but a loan move remains a possibility on transfer deadline day.

The move for Dembele might only happen if Spurs fail to secure Fernando Llorente from Swansea. The Lilywhites have just had a bid accepted for the Spaniard, believed to be around £15m. Llorente scored 15 goals last season for Swansea and Spurs will be chuffed with themselves if they managed to steal Chelsea’s target from under their noses.

Who would you rather see join Spurs, Fernando Llorente or Moussa Dembele?

Nobody saw this coming twenty-four hours ago…

According to David Ornstein of BBC Sport, Spurs have had a bid of around £15m accepted for Swansea striker Fernando Llorente, and look as if they will beat London rivals Chelsea to the Spaniard’s signature.

A deal has reportedly been close between Chelsea and Swansea for most of the summer, who have already bright in Alvaro Morata to replace the frozen out Diego Costa. Despite long-term negotiations, Spurs look like they might be about to complete one of the first shock moves of transfer deadline day.

Harry Kane has been misfiring so far this season as his August hoodoo continues for at least another year. A lacklustre performance against Burnley on Sunday has prompted transfer action among the Tottenham camp, who could complete a further four signings today at least.

Reports have suggested that Swansea will only sanction a Llorente move away if they were bring former Swan Wilfred Bony back to the Liberty Stadium, and a Spurs bid being accepted suggests that deal is also very close to going through.

Llorente managed to net an impressive fifteen goals in 33 Premier League appearances last season in a Swansea shirt and being a proven player in the Premier League, he could prove to be a perfect backup for Harry Kane. Spurs had been linked with a move for Josh King in a deal that could have been worth £30m, who scored £16 goals, so Llorente looks to be a bargain at £15m.

If this deal goes through, it could spell the end at Tottenham for Vincent Janssen. His debut season in the Premier League did not go to plan as he netted just twice in the league, one coming from the penalty spot. He could complete a move away on deadline day to either Stoke or West Brom, who are both reportedly interested. Ornstein of the BBC suggests a loan move is a possibility.

If Llorent joins Spurs (they’re in pole but he’s torn & no #CFC deal yet) it’s possible Janssen to leave #THFC on loan before window shuts

Spurs are ready to hijack Chelsea’s deadline day move for Swansea striker Fernando Llorente as they prepare to spring to life in the summer transfer window. 

Daniel Levy and Mauricio Pochettino have been disappointingly inactive this summer and look as if they are leaving it late to secure key deals in what is a very important season for the Lilywhites at the National stadium.

Spurs have brought three new players in through the door, defender Davinson Sanchez for a club record fee of £42m, Southampton goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga and another defender in youngster Juan Foyth. They look look adding a fourth signing early on in deadline day in PSG’s Serge Aurier after he was granted a work permit yesterday.

Despite making three signings, close to making a fourth, none of those have strengthened the attacking areas of the squad. The likes of Christian Eriksen and Heung-min Son have produced fairly uninspiring performances this season, and highlights the need for them to be pushed. The deadline day signing of Demarai Gray, Angel Di Maria or even Ross Barkley might just help to do this.

It has emerged in the last couple of days that Vincent Janssen’s time at Tottenham could well be coming to a premature end after the striker admitted that he was unhappy with his situation at Spurs. He has become frustrated with the lack of playing time that he has been getting and could look for a move elsewhere to get more playing time.

With Stoke and West Brom both interested, Spurs would need to get a replacement in before the transfer window shuts at 11pm tonight, and are considering a last gasp move for Swansea striker Fernando Llorente. Chelsea have been monitoring the striker all summer and have been in pole position to sign the front man for some time.

However, the Mirror report that Tottenham are preparing to ghost in and beat their London rivals to the signature of Llorente, with Vincent Janssen underperforming and not providing sufficient backup for Harry Kane. In the same report, it states that Swansea will not sell Llorente until they have secured the deal that will see Wilfred Bony return to the Liberty Stadium.

Juan Foyth has completed his much-anticipated move to Tottenham Hotspur, but that is not where Tottenham’s transfer activity is set to end. There are strong reports linking Spurs with moves for four more players. In this article we take a look at the latest news surrounding each player.

1 – Serge Aurier

This is all but confirmed. Spurs have been on the lookout for a new right-back ever since selling Kyle Walker to Manchester City for £50m, and it looks like the Lilywhites have finally got their man and the move is ‘imminent’ according to Sky Sports.

The only factor stopping this move going through was the lack of work permit for Aurier. Doubt was cast over whether he would receive a work permit after he received a suspended sentence for assault on a police officer.

However, this now seems to have no effect on the right-back’s intended move to Tottenham Hotspur after he posted a tweet yesterday that convinced Spurs fans that he will be joining the club for a fee of around £23m. All that remains is for the transfer to be announced by the two clubs, and we can expect that fairly early on in deadline day.

One man who will be far from pleased with the signing is Kieran Trippier. He very much expected to become first choice right-back after the departure of Kyle Walker, but this could well change with the arrival of Aurier from PSG.

While the main focus tomorrow on deadline day will be the players Tottenham will bring into the squad, here are three players that could follow Kevin Wimmer out the exit door on transfer deadline day. 

1) Vincent Janssen

The Dutchman didn’t enjoy the best of starts to life in the Premier League and with first team chances very few and far between for Janssen, he could seek a deadline day move away.

The striker has admitted he is unhappy with his situation at Spurs and wants more playing time under manager Mauricio Pochettino to try and prove his worth. However, if the prolific scoring of Harry Kane begins to kick in anytime soon, he chances might by hard to come by.

You get the feeling that what Janssen needs to succeed is a strong run of games, which can be hard to get when you are second choice to a striker like Harry Kane. With Janssen sitting frustrated on the bench and with many holding little confidence in him if Kane were to get injured, a move away might be best for both parties.

The Sun report that Stoke and West Brom have both shown an interest in Janssen. If a move goes through, could it trigger a last minute attempt to buy Divock Origi from Liverpool?

Spurs have picked up one win, one draw and one defeat in their three opening Premier League games, and Mauricio Pochettino is looking for some last minute additions to his squad for the summer transfer window slams shut. Here is who could sign for Spurs in the next couple of days. 

1) Serge Aurier

Ever since Kyle Walker left for Pep Guardolia’s Manchester City, Spurs have been on the lookout for a replacement right-back.

With Kyle Walker-Peters too young to be given such responsibility (his performance against Newcastle may counter-argue this) and Kieran Trippier’s performance against Burnley nothing short of disastrous, Mauricio Pochettino will be looking to get a new right-back through the door.

The deal for PSG’s Serge Aurier appears to be very close. According to Sky Sources, a £23m bid for Aurier has been accepted and everything seems to be in place for the deal to be completed except the player is yet to receive a UK work visa.

The London Evening Standard report that Aurier’s chances of getting a work permit have received a knock with the revlation that the player assaulted a police officer last year. Spurs were confident of hearing a decision today (Tuesday), but a decision might be delayed. Either way, the clock is ticking to get a new right-back in and Aurier looks to most likely player to join Spurs before the window closes on Thursday.

With Tottenham set to confirm the signing of Serge Aurier, there looks to be more business to be done by Pochettino’s men in the final week of the window. In this article we take a look at three more transfers that could happen.

1 – Michel Vorm to Crystal Palace

So according to Sky Sports, Crystal Palace are trying to lure Vorm to the club, with the offer of first team football on the table. Vorm is just a back up to Lloris at Tottenham so if Palace were to table a reasonable bid it would be hard for the club to stand in his way.
