Inter Milan are on the verge of signing Djed Spence from Tottenham (Picture: Getty) Djed Spence is edging closer to leaving Tottenham for Inter Milan, according to reports in Italy. Spence struggled to live up to expectations at Tottenham after joining from Middlesbrough back in 2022, having helped Nottingham Forest win promotion to the Premier League during an outstanding loan spell at the City Ground. After three separate loans with Rennes, Leeds and Genoa, though, Spence enjoyed something of a resurgence at Spurs last season, earning himself a place in England’s World Cup squad. Spence emerged from the tournament as one of the Three Lions’ unlikely stars after working his way into Thomas Tuchel’s starting XI in the midst of an injury crisis at full-back.

But Tottenham’s hierarchy were unmoved and made it clear they were open to offers for Spence at the start of the summer transfer window, meaning the versatile 26-year-old returned to north London with his club future up in the air. Reports last week indicated both Manchester United and Liverpool had been offered the chance to sign Spence before the transfer deadline. However, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter have muscled themselves into pole position for Spence and the England international is said to be ‘on his way’ to the San Siro. Spurs are ready to sell Spence for a fee of £25.6m (Picture: Getty) The versatile full-back was one of England’s breakout stars at the World Cup (Picture: Getty) It’s claimed the relevant parties have come close to reaching an agreement ‘in the last few hours’ over a move expected to be worth in the region of €30million (£25.6m) plus bonuses. The report adds that Spence will be brought in as Denzel Dumphries’ long-term successor in Milan ‘barring any unexpected developments’. Spence is set to follow in the footsteps of international colleague John Stones, who departed Manchester City to join the Serie A giants on a free transfer last month. Given their grueling summer with England, neither player is expected to be ready in time for Inter’s opening match of the Italian top-flight season at home to Monza on August 22. De Zerbi’s side begin the Premier League season away to Brentford (Picture: Getty) Tottenham had initially slapped a £35m price tag on Spence but ultimately decided to relax their demands in order to remove the defender from their wage bill. Spence is likely to put pen to paper on a four-year contract with Inter and the impending move could pave the way for Luis Enrique to complete a switch to Roma. Inter have been forced to drop their pursuit of Tottenham defender Cristian Romero but remain interested in a deal for Liverpool and England midfielder Curtis Jones. As one of Tottenham’s many World Cup participants, Spence was not included in Roberto De Zerbi’s touring party to New Zealand and Australia for the club’s pre-season matches against Auckland FC, Sydney FC and Chelsea. Spurs continue their busy pre-season schedule with a friendly against Hoffenheim at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend before kicking off their Premier League campaign away to London rivals Brentford on August 22.

La Liga's biggest stars are better paid than the Premier League's... The post Top 10 highest-paid players in each of the big five European leagues: La Liga tops Premier League appeared first on Planet Football.
It’s now just ten days until the start of the new Premier League season, so who are the favourites for the 2026/27 Premier League title race? It was a close race last season that ultimately saw Arsenal come out on top and win their first title in 22 years, so they’ll surely be the favourites […] The post Premier League title favourites: Will it be Arsenal vs Man City again or can Liverpool bounce back? appeared first on CaughtOffside.
Florian Wirtz believes that he is "more ready" and "really excited" for his second season in the Premier League after settling in during his first campaign at Liverpool. Wirtz made the move from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth £116m last summer and scored seven goals and provided 10 assists in what was an underwhelming campaign overall for Liverpool under Arne Slot.
It's that time of the year again - the transfer window is now open until September 1 and it's sure to be a busy period with clubs looking to make big signings ahead of next season.
Mikel Arteta is still making plans to tinker with his Arsenal squad before the transfer deadline (Picture: Getty) Arsenal could be tempted into selling Myles Lewis-Skelly to Premier League rivals Chelsea. The Hale End Academy graduate appeared to have salvaged his Gunners career when he was thrust back into the starting XI during last season’s run-in. After his breakthrough campaign the season before, the versatile midfielder found himself firmly on the periphery following the arrival of Martin Zubimendi. With Piero Hincapie and Riccardo Calafiori preferred in the left-back role that Lewis-Skelly appeared to have made his own, the 19-year-old was forced to settle for a bit-part role for the majority of last term. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. Zubimendi’s loss of form, however, prompted Mikel Arteta to thrust Lewis-Skelly back into the limelight with just six games remaining and the England international thrived in his preferred position. Despite a series of outstanding displays, culminated in a polished performance in the Champions League final, Lewis-Skelly’s position is again under threat. Arsenal’s successful pursuit of Bruno Guimaraes means Arteta now has the Brazil international, Declan Rice, Zubimendi and his Spanish World Cup winning teammate Mikel Merino to call upon. Myles Lewis-Skelly could be on the move this summer (Picture: Getty) Ethan Nwaneri, meanwhile, has impressed during pre-season alongside another gem coming off the Arsenal production line in Ife Ibrahim. As a consequence, Arsenal, according to football.london, have alerted Chelsea to Lewis-Skelly’s potential availability. The Blues are yet to indicate whether or not they will make a move but they were last week linked with further midfield reinforcements with Zubimendi said to be on their radar. Chelsea’s stance could well depend on whether or not captain Enzo Fernandez remains at the club and the current indications are that he intends to stay put, despite interest from Manchester City. Myles Lewis-Skelly has been offered to Chelsea (Picture: Getty) Manchester United, meanwhile, were linked with Lewis-Skelly earlier in the window and they are still on the lookout for a left-sided defender. Newcastle United’s Lewis Hall remains their No.1 target but they could renew their interest in the Arsenal star if it becomes clear his future lies elsewhere. And with Arsenal still requiring a left-sided forward, club legend Lee Dixon envisages a scenario whereby a swap deal involving Marcus Rashford could suit all parties. Rashford spent last season on loan at Barcelona (Picture: Getty) ‘Would I swap them? You know what, I probably would,’ the ex-Arsenal and England full-back told BestBettingSites. ‘That’s nothing against Myles Lewis-Skelly; it’s about giving him the freedom to go and expand his game elsewhere.‘With Marcus Rashford, he’s a player who needs an arm around his shoulder, and Arteta would be great for him. ‘Give him that love, give him the freedom to play on that left side, and yeah, I’d like to see him in an Arsenal shirt.’ Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source
Arsenal’s £75 million signing of Bruno Guimarães has intensified competition in an already crowded midfield, once again putting the spotlight on Myles Lewis-Skelly’s future.

Man Utd defender Harry Maguire thinks fans can expect "a lot better performances" from the team this season and has urged his fellow players to continue the momentum enjoyed under Michael Carrick so far. The Red Devils finished third in the league last season and qualified for the Champions League for the first time in three seasons. The achievement came despite the upheaval of a managerial change, with Carrick brought in to oversee the team before being given the role permanently.
Sports Mole rounds up today's latest transfer news and rumours, including Rangers considering an approach for a Belgian defender and Hull City failing with an offer for Swansea City forward Zan Vipotnik.
Arsenal’s new £75m signing Bruno Guimaraes (Picture: Getty) Paul Scholes has questioned new Arsenal signing Bruno Guimaraes and says Tottenham bought a ‘better player’ this summer. Brazilian midfielder Guimaraes was unveiled to Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday following his £75m move from Newcastle United. Mikel Arteta identified Guimaraes as his top midfield target earlier in the summer and Arsenal finally made a breakthrough after weeks of negotiations with Newcastle. Scholes has never been blown away by Guimaraes but insists he could ‘make Arsenal a better football team’ as they attempt to retain the Premier League trophy. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. But the Manchester United legend says Guimaraes is not even the best midfield to leave Newcastle this summer as he views Sandro Tonali as a more complete player. Arsenal were one of several clubs to express interest in Tonali before Tottenham secured his signature in a club-record deal worth £100m. ‘I think Bruno Guimaraes will make Arsenal a better football team,’ Scholes said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast. Guimaraes during his Arsenal unveiling (Picture: Getty) ‘I don’t think the football we watched from them was great. You need midfield players to make your team play good football – is he going to do that enough for Arsenal? ‘I know they won the league but I don’t think they got the midfield right last season. ‘Maybe this is the answer to it but I do think Sandro Tonali is a better player, he’s got more legs about him. Man Utd legend Paul Scholes (Picture: YouTube) ‘I don’t think Bruno is amazing physically but he might be more suited to Arsenal.’ Arteta has high hopes for ‘warrior’ Guimaraes and believes the Brazilian can help Arsenal go to ‘the next level’. ‘I think he describes himself as a warrior,’ Arteta said. ‘I think he’s a warrior with a tremendous quality as well and intuition and leadership and charisma that is going to help us. https://www.instagram.com/p/Db30k_lxDIM/ ‘It is going to really ignite something different in the team. I’m delighted to have him. ‘We see very clearly – especially the energy that he brought immediately to the training ground – the hunger, the desire to come here and create a big history at the club. ‘That’s the ambition that we need. We want to go to the next level and are very, very much convinced that we’re going to need players with such a personality, desire and character to push everybody inside the organisation to go even higher.’ Tottenham summer signing Sandro Tonali (Picture: PA) Meanwhile, Tonali said it took ‘just 10 minutes’ to decide to join Tottenham after speaking to new Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi. ‘Honestly, I spoke with another team [also],’ Tonali admitted. ‘When you speak with a team, the first impression is a big thing and my impression was very positive. ‘When you are happy after a 10-minute chat, it’s everything, everything is perfect. ‘I spoke with my wife – this was the first thing. We wanted to change our life, but not just for the city, we wanted to change everything. We spoke with two clubs. ‘I understood after 10, 15 minutes that Tottenham would be my next team.’ Spurs finished just two points above the relegation zone last season and kick-start their 2026-27 Premier League campaign against Brentford.

On Sunday at Anfield against Monaco, Andoni Iraola was very honest after their 3-2 defeat. Two weeks out from the start of the Premier League campaign, Iraola's verdict was that his side had "work to do" because they could not sustain the level that he wanted for the duration of a game. Iraola said that his side played a good first 30 minutes but "they don't have much more, in terms of the levels required to play like this".
