Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is reportedly pressuring the club to make a firm bid for Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha, despite the fact that any transfer is anticipated to set a new club record fee.
After joining Spurs from Celtic earlier this summer, the Greek-born Australian officially starts his new role as manager today. But the 57-year-old is already in charge, having a voice in the club’s early summer transfer negotiations.
Indeed, it was Postecoglou‘s call earlier this week to sign both Guglielmo Vicacrio and James Maddison. The goalkeeper joined Spurs for £17 million from Empoli. Meanwhile, Maddison has joined Leicester for a fee of £40 million.
Tottenham is also aiming to strengthen their center midfield. Postecoglou is also pressing Levy to approach Fulham for Palhinha, according to The Sun (July 1, page 67).
After joining from Sporting Lisbon for £20 million, the Portugal midfielder had a fantastic debut season in the Premier League. The 27-year-old appeared in 40 games in all competitions, scoring four times.
His tigerish antics in the engine room, though, drew the most attention. With 147 tackles, he was the division’s leading tackler. Moises Caicedo came in second with 100 points, demonstrating how the Portuguese was definitely in a league of his own.
Joao Palhinha is highly regarded by Fulham.
This form has prompted to speculation that West Ham are interested in luring Palhinha across London to replace Declan Rice.
The Cottagers, understandably, are not eager to let Palhinha depart without a fight. Despite spending only £20 million for him a year ago, they are now said to be worth roughly £90 million.
Nonetheless, West Ham are apparently drafting a bid in the hope that a sizable offer will persuade Fulham to sell.
Postecoglou, on the other hand, has made Palhinha his next key priority for Spurs.
To that purpose, they are apparently considering a transaction much above their existing club record of £60 million paid to Everton for Richarlison.
If they are to sign, Postecoglou will need to persuade Levy to swallow some of his pride. This is due to the fact that the Portuguese star was on Tottenham‘s radar last summer. But, after passed up the chance to recruit him for £20 million, Levy will be disappointed to have to pay a far higher amount again.
Spurs may fund the transaction by selling three players.
Postecoglou, on the other hand, appears to be unfazed and apparently intends to persuade Levy to launch a bid.
Spurs, on the other hand, may fund the transaction by releasing a number of players. Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso are unlikely to be included in the new manager’s plans.
Furthermore, rumours say that the club is eager to sell Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who is becoming a target for Atletico Madrid.
Some may be surprised by the trade, but there are concerns about whether the Dane is mobile enough to play Postecoglou‘s style.
Cristian Romero of Tottenham Hotspur thinks Liverpool now have a £35 million player who is better than Sergio Aguero.
Tottenham Hotspur protector Cristian Romero has positioned Alexis Macintosh Allister as the third best Argentine to at any point play in English football
Macintosh Allister turned into the 6th Argentinian to show up for Liverpool having endorsed from Brighton for a measly £35m this mid year. Furthermore, as indicated by Romero, the Reds have gotten themselves one amazing player.
Requested to name his top compatriots to have played in Britain by Amazon Prime Video Game on TikTok, the Prods man went for a few fascinating picks.
At number five, Romero kept his Tottenham cap on to choose unbelievable midfielder Ossie Ardiles. Then, and fairly incredibly, the middle back picked Manchester City symbol Sergio Aguero.
Presently, Aguero might be the fifth most elevated Chief Association scorer ever, yet as indicated by Romero, he’s no counterpart for Macintosh Allister, who spaces into third. We’re not contending, yet that is some strong applause.
The 25-year-old then chooses Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez as his next in line, prior to delegated Manchester Joined protector Lisandro Martinez as the lord.
Finishing off a marginally peculiar rundown, Romero hails Martinez as ‘by a long shot the best protector on the planet.’ Excuse me?!
We won’t contend a lot with any rankings list that gets Liverpool players past or present in front of Man City legends. Be that as it may, this is an incredible take from Romero.
Allow us just to say that we love Macintosh Allister as much as anyone else. The 24-year-old has opened in flawlessly at Liverpool up to this point and we can hardly stand by to see where his heritage at Anfield goes.
Yet, to recommend that he’s arrived at anything like the degrees of Aguero is – in a footballing sense – messed up.
What’s more, besides, extreme to take a rundown contains Martinez as ‘by a wide margin’ the best protector on the planet genuinely.
All things considered, we might want to advance one more player who ought to have been in and around this discussion – Javier Mascherano. The previous Liverpool midfielder was truly outstanding around in his days at Anfield and ought to be right up there.
Be that as it may, assuming you’re asking us, Aguero is undisputedly number one here. In time however, hopefully Macca can make his situation in this rundown more reasonable.
