Tottenham ‘chase’ in-demand Premier League star as Man City transfer dubbed ‘unlikely’

Tottenham are already preparing for next season after a brilliant campaign under Antonio Conte.

Spurs managed to wrestle fourth place from Arsenal in the final two games of the season, and they are now headed for the Champions League.

But what that means is that significant improvements will be needed, at least if Tottenham are to give UEFA’s premier competition a real go next season.

On the plus side, Spurs now hold an advantage over rivals who haven’t managed qualification when it comes to transfer.

Conte and Fabio Paratici will be looking to use that to their advantage over the course of the summer window.

And as they set about their work, we have rounded up all the latest transfer news and rumours concerning the club.

Richarlison interest

Tottenham are said to be interested in a move for Everton star Richarlison this summer.

The Brazilian is attracting plenty of attention after impressive performances in an otherwise disappointing campaign for the Toffees.

According to The Athletic, Spurs have now joined the race, hoping to pull off a move, but no formal talks have taken place.

The report goes on to detail that Everton want a fee as high as £51million, which they are unlikely to get, according to sources close to the club.

Sterling deal unlikely

Another Premier League forward being linked with a move this summer is Manchester City star Raheem Sterling.

Sterling managed to battle his way back towards a more prominant role this season as City won the Premier League for the second successive season.

But with City strengthening up top already during this window, it’s reported Sterling could leave to secure more regular football.

According to The Telegraph, though, he won’t be heading to Arsenal or Tottenham, with the forward ‘unlikely’ to consider a north London move.

Chelsea are said to be the Premier League club showing the most interest.
