Tottenham transfer round-up: Spurs lose starlet to rivals as Man Utd star considered

A busy summer is well underway for Tottenham as Thomas Frank looks to get his side Champions League-ready. Spurs looked a long way off Champions League quality last season, so they will be well aware of the need to recruit this summer.

Frank will be looking to land key targets while getting his ideas across to his new squad this summer. Here we round up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Garnacho links

Tottenham are being linked with a move for Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho. The wideman is expected to leave Old Trafford this summer, with Fabrizio Romano posting: “Alejandro Garnacho continues to express preference for Premier League move this summer. He’s out of Manchester United project but despite calls from several clubs abroad, Garnacho wants to continue in England as clear preference. Talks will follow in the upcoming days.”

The Daily Mail are now saying Tottenham are one of the clubs monitoring Garnacho as they consider signing another winger after Mohammed Kudus. Chelsea are also said to be showing an interest having previously shown interest.

Oliver lured away

Tottenham are set to lose 16-year-old talent Dextor Oliver to one of their Premier League rivals, with Manchester City set to wrap up a deal. Fabrizio Romano has posted: “Manchester City have agreed deal to sign Dexter Oliver from Spurs. Agreement due to be completed in next 48h and another key signing to Man City Academy, strategy remains to develop and produce top young talent.”

Oliver is an attacking midfielder who has been representing Tottenham’s under-18s age group of late despite his youth. He has made nine appearances for them across all competitions, assisting twice.

Richarlison could leave

Tottenham are said to be keen to offload Richarlison this summer, with one reporter claiming that there is interest from the forward’s home country. Brazilian journalist Fabrizio Lopes told Terra: “I got the information that Leila Pereira contacted Tottenham to try to hire Richarlison. She is personally talking and convincing the athlete to go to Palmeiras for about two weeks.”

Speaking towards the end of last season, Richarlison said: "Of course, this season hasn't been what I expected due to some injuries that have held me back a bit. I've experienced great moments in my career. I've won trophies with thee Brazilian national team. I've been decisive in many games. I think it will be a great game. I hope to go into it focused so that if the opportunity comes I'm in the right place to bring joy to all of us."

Richarlison is one of the big earners at Tottenham, and if Frank wants a new option up top, he could move to sell Richarlison, especially with the Brazilian having struggled with injury of late. Though, Spurs would likely demand a sizable fee given the size of their initial investment, which was around £60million. Some reports have claimed they would ask for around £55million to sell.
