The biggest transfer stories of the day concerning Spurs.
Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to-head for Wilfried Bony
It looks as if Swansea City are prepared to sell their top-scorer this summer, but only if their £20m valuation of the striker is met, according to talkSPORT.
Spurs have already had an £18m bid for the Ivory Coast international rejected by the Swans and could face serious competition from Anfield as they look for a Luis Suarez replacement.
Bony is also keen to play Champions League football and this gives Brendan Rodgers the edge over Mauricio Pochettino.
Swansea’s Ben Davies is also a target in a deal involving Gylfi Sigurdsson
It’s not just Bony that is wanted from the Liberty Stadium, as talented left-back Davies is also on the radar of Pochettino, reports BBC Sport.
The Welshman has greatly improved since the Swans were promoted to the top flight in 2011 and is now also the first choice for the Wales national team.
Tottenham are hoping to use Sigurdsson as part of the deal, with the 24-year-old having previously spent a season on-loan in South Wales and is a real fans favourite.
Tottenham on alert as Chelsea set asking price for Ryan Bertrand
Having never taken to the left-back Blues manager Jose Mourinho is ready to axe Bertrand from his squad for good – but only if £8m is paid, according to the Daily Express.
Once again Spurs face competition from the Reds in the pursuit of the 24-year-old, with both Premier League sides desperate for recruitment in the Englishman’s position.
At White Hart Lane last term neither Danny Rose or Kyle Naughton impressed in 2013/14, whilst Zeki Fryers is still considered too raw to take up the role on a permanent basis.
Spurs will challenge Arsenal for £20m Morgan Schneiderlin
Having signed Alexis Sanchez from FC Barcelona on Thursday thinks are looking good at the Emirates Stadium, but Tottenham are hoping to upset their North London rivals.
Pochettino wants to use his connections at former club Southampton to land £20m rated midfielder Schneiderlin ahead of the Gunners, according to the Daily Express.
The 24-year-old has greatly impressed for the Saints over the past two years and was included in France’s 23-man 2014 World Cup squad and is expected to follow Rickie Lambert, Luke Shaw and Adam Lallana away from the south coast.
Jan Vertonghen is ready to leave the club
There was good news for Spurs on Thursday as goalkeeper Hugo Lloris signed a new five-year contract with the club despite being linked with a move away.
Yet the same can’t be said of another supposed wantaway player in Vertonghen, with the Belgian’s agent admitting the 27-year-old could be on his way.
