RUMOURS : - Tottenham
are being linked with a move for Paulinho (no,
not that one), as they look to bring a striker in, with
the Braga 27 year old known to Jose Mourinho,
while the Troy Deeney stories are circulating
again, although he is reported to have been in advanced
talks with West Bromwich Albion. The
Portuguese media reckon Spurs might make a move for
Benfica striker Carlos Vinicius, with two other
Premier League teams involved, one of whom has made a
GBP41 million offer for the 25 year old or maybe they
will be back in for Real Sociedad's Brazilian forward
Willian Jose, who the Spanish press are talking up. Hellas
Verona defender Marash Kumbala is again in
Tottenham's sights with 28 million Euros being asked for
the 20 year old by his club.
UNDER-23s : -
Tottenham's Under-23s drew 1-1 with Brighton & Hove
Albion Under-23s at Hotspur Way this morning in their
opening Premier League 2 fixture. The Spurs goal
was scored by Kazaiah Sterling and the team
featured Keenan Ferguson, a 20 year old defender
who appears to have signed a deal for this season with
Tottenham after he was released by Sheffield United at
the end of last season.
UNDER-18s : -
Our Under-18 team beat West Ham United London 4-1 at
Little Heath to wrap up a miserable day for the Irons
(their first team lost 0-2 at home to Newcastle United
and their women's team lost 1-6 to Arsenal). The
Tottenham goals came from Kallum Cesay, Tarrelle
Whittaker and two from Dale Scarlett (one a
penalty).

on the game against Everton on Sunday with a thigh
injury, while Giovani Lo Celso will be assessed
closer to kick off to see if he can play after suffering
a hamstring injury.
RUMOURS : - Reports
hint that Spurs are unlikely to sign either Patson
Daka of Red Bull Salzburg or Napoli's Polish
international Arkadiusz Milik, just after Jose
Mourinho told a press conference today that he needs
and expects the club to sign a forward in this transfer
window, but then other sources reckon a bid for MIlik
will be forthcoming as his club have slashed his asking
price to anywhere between GBP32 million and GBP13.9
million. Preliminary talks are said o already have
been held with Napoli. Tottenham may have
offered Torino striker Andrea Belotti a loan move
with the option of a 50 million Euros transfer at the
end of the season, but the Serie A club only want a
straight sale. The strongest rumour on paper
(or screen) today links Tottenham with a move for Real
Madrid left-back Sergio Reguilon, with Manchester
United having decided that they are already well catered
for in that position, so will leave the way clear, for
the player who won the Europa League with Sevilla while
on loan last season, to some to N17. The club are
reported in Italy to have made a GBP45 million enquiry
of Internazionale for their midfielder Marcelo
Brozovic.
EX-SPURS : - Former
Spurs midfielder Christian Eriksen has been
offered to Chelsea as part of a deal to sign their

West Ham United London are seriously thinking of breaking
their links with him and it is rumoured that they are
seriously thinking of severing his time at the club as the
midfielder is cut from their wage bill, being paid for
laying about on the beds in the physios room.
