Spurs plot £100m-plus bid for Lazio duo
Tottenham are keen to spend more than £100 million on Lazio’s star duo Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Ciro Immobile to boost their hopes of challenging for the title.
The reports states that Mauricio Pochettino will raise funds by selling Danny Rose, Mousa Dembele, Toby Alderweireld and Victor Wanyama.
Milinkovic-Savic could cost close to £100m alone after emerging as one of the finest centre-midfielders in Europe. Immobile, meanwhile, would offer quality cover for Harry Kane and a viable tactical option of fielding two strikers after bagging 67 goals in two seasons, including 41 this season.
Chelsea eye Alderweireld swoop
Chelsea could take advantage of Tottenham’s potential sales this summer by moving for Toby Alderweireld.
The 29-year-old is valued at £45m and is reportedly likely to be sold having failed to agree on a new deal.
The Belgian has one year remaining on his contract, although Spurs could activate a one-year extension, but it’s said that will trigger a £25m buyout clause, meaning this summer will likely offer the biggest return.
The two clubs have a hostile relationship, though, making the prospect of any deal more problematic and Alderweireld potentially more likely to move to Manchester United or Manchester City instead.
Steven Gerrard has accepted the Rangers manager’s job, reports the Mirror, with the Liverpool academy coach set to take the plunge into senior management.
