Here are the Tottenham Hotspur morning headlines for Monday, April 20.
Spurs 'frontrunners' for Grealish
Former Tottenham forward Darren Bent believes the club can edge Manchester United to Jack Grealish’s signature if they match Aston Villa’s £50m asking price.
Spurs missed out on signing Grealish in 2018 but rumours linking the 24-year-old with a move to north London have resurfaced following his impressive displays at Villa Park this season.
And while United have plenty of financial power, Bent reckons their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho may leave the Grealish door open for Spurs.
"£50m is definitely in the price tag that Villa are going to want for him,” Bent told Football Insider. "But you look at Spurs – a young, English, brilliant signing.
"When you look at teams that are also in for Jack, there’s a lot of talk about Manchester United and I think where Spurs might have the edge is they’re going to have the funds to do it.
"They’re not really linked with anybody else and I think they can get that done quite comfortably.
"I’m hearing Manchester United linked with Jadon Sancho, Harry Kane, Grealish. For them to get all those players they’re going to have to spend upwards of £300million.
"I can see Spurs being the frontrunners and just getting him."
Juve to battle United for Kane
Juventus are prepared to rival Manchester United for Harry Kane this summer, according to reports.
The Serie A champions are keen to bolster their attacking options and sign a world-class striker to compete with Gonzalo Higuain for a spot in Maurizio Sarri’s line-up, as per Football Italia.
United are also believed to be monitoring Kane, who may cost £200m.
Kane recently cast doubt over his long-term Spurs future during an Instagram Live chat with Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp in which the England captain said he will not stay at the club ‘for the sake of it’.
However, while Juve and United may pursue the 26-year-old, Real Madrid have ended their interest with Zinedine Zidane keen on capturing Kylian Mbappe.
Son begins military training
Tottenham forward Son Heung-min began his mandatory three-week military training on Monday.
The 27-year-old previously earned an exemption from military duty after winning a gold medal at the 2018 Asian Games.
Son began his training at a marines boot camp on the island of Jeju, as per Yonhap News Agency.
The former Bayer Leverkusen man is required to complete the three-week training camp and perform 500 hours of community service to fulfill his obligation.
