Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho could have a big job on his hands this summer as he looks to strengthen his squad.
Although Spurs remain in the hunt for a Champions League spot, they have a lot of work to do, and Europa League seems a more realistic option.
That could have a big effect on their transfer business this summer though, with Mourinho looking to put his stamp on his side.
Here are the latest transfer rumours and gossip from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Swap deal for Hojbjerg
Tottenham could look to offer up one of their own players in a swap deal in order to land Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to North London, and could be brought in as a replacement for Tanguy Ndombele, whose future remains uncertain.
Jose Mourinho though has been told he must sell players before he can land Hojbjerg, which could lead to Spurs offering a player up to Southampton.
The Telegraph report Kyle Walker-Peters’ loan move at St Mary’s could be made permanent in order to lower the asking price, which is currently around £35m.
Milik focused on Juve
Arkadiusz Milik looks to be favouring a move to Juventus, despite reports Tottenham have made contact with the striker.
The Napoli forward looks set to be on the move this summer, with a number of clubs set to be interested.
Spurs, along with Atletico Madrid, have both reportedly made contact with the player in the past few days, but haven’t had a positive response.
Tuttosport (via Sport Witness) report that Milik is favouring a move to Juventus, as he wants to join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala, and Spurs face a tough task to change his mind.
Mourinho targets Vazquez
Jose Mourinho is reportedly closing in on the £22.5m signing of Real Madrid winger Lucas Vazquez.
The 28-year-old’s opportunities at Madrid have been limited, and he missed La Liga’s return to action due to a minor muscle injury in his leg.
Vazquez’s contract at the Bernabeu runs out next summer, and Real have made it known that he’ll be available for a transfer at the end of this season.
Mourinho is reportedly keen on the Spain international, and the player is also thought to want to work with the Portuguese again, with the pair having been together previously at Madrid.
