Tottenham ‘have offered £60m’ amid fresh interest in Arsenal and Chelsea target

Tottenham are now preparing for their second pre-season friendly, against Luton Town on Saturday, with a trip to Asia booked for after that game. Thomas Frank’s men got up and running against Reading last weekend, and they will be stepping up their fitness building at this stage.In the meantime, the club’s recruitment chiefs will be battling to add new names to Frank’s squad. Here we round up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding Spurs with more additions expected in the coming weeks.Tottenham have reportedly submitted a huge offer to sign AFC Bournemouth centre-back Ilya Zabarnyi. Duncan Castles claimed on The Transfers Podcast: “But Tottenham, one of several Premier League clubs who are unsurprisingly interested in the 22-year-old, one of the quickest centre-backs in the Premier League and almost a perfect attendance record in the Premier League over his two seasons at Bournemouth guidance from Bournemouth is that Tottenham have offered €70m [£60m] for the player, which is owner Bill Foley’s asking price, and which would represent a new club record transfer fee for Tottenham, exceeding the initial £55m with £10m of variables that they paid Bournemouth for Dominic Solanke last summer.”Tottenham are now being linked with a move for Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, who has been linked with Arsenal and others this summer. The Brazilian is being tipped to move on having slipped in the pecking order following the arrival of Xabi Alonso, at least according to reports in Spain.

Alonso has maintained that Rodrygo remains an important player, but the reports are not going away, and there have been claims that the winger has been told he can find a new club at the right price. According to AS, Tottenham are among the clubs interested in a deal for Rodrygo, and there is hope Real Madrid will reduce their £78million asking price, with very few to no clubs likely to be willing to meet that price.Arsenal have already spent big on Noni Madueke this summer, so it would be a surprise to see them spend quite so much on another winger, but Chelsea have a glaring need and money to spend. Spurs are likely to sign a winger, but whether they will spend so much on one position while having lots of other needs is another question.Tottenham actually play twice on Saturday, with an early game against Wycombe Wanderers taking place behind closed doors ahead of the Luton Town fixture. Explaining the though process behind the back-to-back games, Frank told the club website: “We wanted an extra game in our schedule to give as many players as many match minutes as possible, in order to put them in the best position, physically.

We will play two even, strong teams, and they will play between 60 and 75 minutes, maybe more. By the end of Saturday, 22 players will have played a lot of match minutes, and they will be in a very good place before we go on tour.”Your next Tottenham read, ‘Smells Blood’: Tottenham eye loan move for feared midfielder
