Tottenham Hotspur transfer plans outlined as Manchester United given Harry Kane advice

Here is your Tottenham Hotspur digest for Sunday, July 5.

Mourinho on summer plans

It is not expected to be a busy summer transfer market for Spurs.

The impact of the coronavirus means not many clubs will be looking to splash the cash this summer and prices for key players may well be at a premium.

Yet Jose Mourinho has offered an insight into Spurs' summer plans.

He said: "I don't know the market. First of all I'm not in control of the market, secondly it will be something new.

"The dynamics of the market are something that for many of us are still a question mark.

"It's a normal situation in every club - some players go, some players stay. I see that as a very normal thing to happen."

The Spurs boss has also revealed which players he will be targeting.

Who could benefit from Bramall Lane nightmare?

It is fair to say that there will be a few raised eyebrows if Jose Mourinho does not ring the changes for Monday's visit of Everton.

Mourinho made just one change to his Spurs starting XI for the defeat at the Blades but will surely make a few more alterations after such a poor display.

So who could benefit from that?

One name in the frame is Gedson Fernandes.

The January loan signing has made just one appearance since the Premier League's resumption - and even that was only a 20-minute cameo.

It is clear that Fernandes could benefit from an extended run in the side and may well receive that from Monday.

Read who else could benefit from Mourinho's changes.

Manchester United told they don't need Kane

Whenever the topic of Harry Kane leaving Spurs crops up, Manchester United is always touted as a potential destination.

Yet former Spurs midfielder Jermaine Jenas says Mason Greenwood's emergence means that United no longer need a player of Kane's pedigree.

"I already think he is the best finisher at the football club or the most natural finisher at the football club by some distance," Jenas told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"By the type of goals he scores, how quick he hits the ball, when it's even under his feet with very little back-lift.

"He's developing, you can see already he's bigger since coming back from lockdown, he is bigger, he is maturing.

"With that comes the speed, the power and I look at him and I don't see many kinds of weaknesses in his game when it comes to me looking at somebody and saying: 'Go and get me 25-30 a season'."
