Tottenham are expected to move to sign a new attacking midfielder in the coming weeks, following news of James Maddison’s ACL injury. The club’s failure to complete a deal for Morgan Gibbs-White means that a replacement is necessary, given that Dejan Kulusevski is also currently ruled out.

Money is there for Tottenham to spend, given that they have completed few deals during the summer transfer window. And some of those funds could now be used towards Harvey Elliott, who, head coach Thomas Frank would be very keen on bringing to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

As per Football Insider, Pete O’Rourke has confirmed that Liverpool are opening to selling Elliott this summer, and they are prepared to accept a fee as low as £40m.

“Reluctantly, Liverpool would consider letting Elliott go for the right fee. There’s been talk of £40m plus a buy-back clause, or a £50m fee without a buy-back clause. RB Leipzig seem to be the ones leading the chase for Elliott right now, and they’ve opened talks with Liverpool to discuss a potential deal for the 22-year-old.

“If Tottenham are in the market for attacking midfielders, Harvey Elliott would be somebody who would figure high up their list. It could be an astute signing if they were to get him, but it does seem that other clubs are further advanced in the pursuit of Elliott, rather than Spurs.”

A deal for Elliott would make a lot of sense for Tottenham, as he would be afforded the regular playing time needed to start delivering on the potential he has shown in recent years. For now, it remains to be seen whether Liverpool are approached by the north Londoners, but given RB Leipzig’s interest, they could be running out of time.

  1. Too high wages wake up spurs fans only way to change at spurs n its easy it’s boycotting levy’s lies simple as that gimpy songs do n wont work only thing that will is boycotting

  2. As a fan I can’t see Spurs doing anything this season, in fact I can see us struggling badly with the squad we have. Levy is leaving it all far to late to sort this squad out. There was true ambition being shown when we signed Kudus and then went straight in for Morgan Gibbs-White but then when that fell through so did all the hope from the fans that Levy would make a success of this window. I’m not 100% sure Levy actually had the intention in the first place. He talks a good game but never gives us the ammo to implement it. The only solution for me is Levy and the Lewis family OUT!

    1. Levy hates Spurs, it’s clear to everyone at Spurs. levy promises us the world, Harrods qaulity on Lidl or Poundshop prices, sad thing is its not his money he is spending the little man is a disgrace. Spurs would succeed so much more if he took his money and ran away from Spurs.
      I’ve loved Spurs since 1978, but even with our win last season Levy and Paratici who links us with everyone from Maradona to everyone and takes 6 months to buy anyone, by that time they sign for someone else.
      Do the right thing little man Levy and get the hell out of Spurs with your bizarre looking family
