Tottenham morning headlines as Hakimi transfer battle emerges and Mourinho makes key decision

Here are the Tottenham Hotspur morning headlines for Thursday, June 11.

Tottenham eye Hakimi deal - report

Tottenham are among the clubs weighing up a move for Real Madrid right-back Achram Hakimi, according to 90min.com .

Hakimi has enjoyed an impressive season on loan at Borussia Dortmund but his future is up in the air.

The Moroccan is said to be keen to fight for his place at Madrid next season, but Dani Carvajal remains the first-choice right-back under Zinedine Zidane.

However, Chelsea, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Inter and Manchester City are also said to be keeping tabs on Hakimi.

Mourinho makes friendly decision

Jose Mourinho has decided to arrange two friendly matches in the space of 24 hours in a bid to get his Tottenham squad up to speed.

Spurs will resume their Premier League campaign with a game against Manchester United next Friday (June 19).

With no competitive contests having been held over the last three months, Mourinho wants to build up match fitness in his squad as quickly as possible.

And the Portuguese has decided to stage two friendlies next week so that all of his players can get some action.

Spurs will face Norwich City on Friday before locking horns with Championship side Reading 24 hours later.

Mourinho is expected to split the squad up into two different teams to ensure that every member gets a useful amount of game time.

Tottenham handed Fraser boost

Tottenham will be able to sign Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser on a free transfer this summer.

According to Football Insider , Fraser has decided that he will not be signing a new contract at the Vitality Stadium.

The Scotland international reportedly does not even want to extend his deal beyond June 30 because he is worried about getting injured.

Tottenham are among the clubs who have been linked with Fraser, and the report states they are willing to offer him a lucrative deal in an attempt to win the race for his signature.

The 26-year-old has scored one goal and provided four assists in 28 Premier League appearances this season.
