Latest Tottenham transfer rumours: Silva deal backed, Niang valuation, striker offer confirmed

We are just days away from Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League restart.

Spurs host Manchester United on Friday night in what could be a vital game for their Champions League qualification hopes.

Whether they make Europe's premier competition or not could well depend on which transfer targets they are able to land this summer - but that has not stopped them planning ahead already.

Here are all the latest Spurs transfer rumours.

Niang not won over

M'Baye Niang is said to have not been won over at the prospect of playing second fiddle to Harry Kane at Tottenham Hotspur

Teamtalk cite L'Equipe as claiming the Rennes striker, who scored 15 times in 36 Ligue 1 matches this season, is not that interested in a move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Rennes are seeking a fee of around €25m for the former AC Milan striker - a fee that is within Spurs' budget.

Yet he is more interested in a move to Marseille, having reportedly spent lockdown in the city with his partner.

With the asking price looking a stretch for Marseille, however, he could well move to Qatar.

Spurs join Thiago Silva race

The Sun claim Jose Mourinho has given his backing to Spurs' plans to sign Thiago Silva.

Thirty-five-year-old Silva is set to leave PSG on a free transfer this summer but his age has not dissuaded a host of clubs from showing interest in him.

The centre-back has also been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Mourinho is a big fan of the Brazilian centre-back but he will command big wages.

Diallo reveals Spurs offer

Habib Diallo's agent has revealed he has received an offer from Tottenham Hotspur.

The striker netted 12 goals in 26 Ligue 1 matches this season and has been linked with a host of English clubs including Leeds United, Leicester City, Chelsea and Crystal Palace.

Spurs are on the lookout for a back-up to Harry Kane and the 25-year-old could well be a good option, with agent Thierno Seydi revealing the club had made contact with him in the last transfer window.

He told APS: "Already last January there was an offer from Tottenham."

Diallo's contract runs until 2022 but Seydi says there is a release clause for this summer.
