Tottenham Hotspur could finally complete a deal for a player they were heavily linked with signing during the last summer transfer window.

So far this summer, even though the transfer window is not yet officially open yet, Spurs have been mostly focused on defensive reinforcements, with Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi already arriving on free transfers from Liverpool and Bournemouth respectively.

Spurs have also seen two bids rejected by Brighton & Hove Albion for centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke and GIVEMESPORT understands Tottenham will go back to the south coast club with a third offer, likely to be in the region of £60million.

Spurs are in advanced talks to sign Savinho

But the north Londoners will also be keen to improve their attacking lineup for new head coach Roberto De Zerbi. Manchester City winger Savinho has been linked with a move to N17, with the two clubs in talks over a deal for the Brazilian.

Savinho was another who was linked with a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but Spurs could not get a deal over the line after the Citizens backed out of an agreement.

And now Maghnes Akliouche, linked with Spurs last year, has given the green light for the Lilywhites to reignite their interest. Tottenham found a deal too difficult to get done last summer, but now, with Akliouche looking to move, they might find things easier.

According to a report in Get Football News France, the 24-year-old was asked about his club future, while on duty with France at the 2026 World Cup in America, Canada and Mexico.

Asked by Nice-Matin whether the next step for him would be a transfer, Akliouche responded in the affirmative, although he caveated that by saying: “But I am focused on the World Cup. [The World Cup] is a huge window of opportunity but I am focused on the national team’s objectives. I don’t want to disrespect my club by talking about the transfer window now.”

Akliouche will have plenty of suitors this summer

If Spurs do intend to reignite their interest in the highly-rated forward, they will likely face competition from the likes of Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City for his signature.

Akliouche has just two years left on his current contract at AS Monaco, with this summer being the perfect time for the French club to sell to get optimum value for his services.

The 24-year-old scored seven goals and provided nine assists across 41 matches in Ligue Un and the UEFA Champions League this season and has been described as a “ridiculous” talent

Manchester United are planning to launch a huge first offer to sign West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes imminently, according to Football Transfers.

Man United had been looking to wrap up some of their summer transfer business before the World Cup kicked off on Thursday night, with one deal over the line after they reached a full agreement, pending a medical, to sign Brazilian midfielder Ederson from Atalanta.

The Red Devils have been tipped to be the busiest Premier League club in the summer transfer window by David Ornstein, so there will be a lot more business to come.

United chiefs are looking at bolstering different areas of the pitch, like at left-back, the left wing position and potentially in goal too, should Altay Bayindir and Andre Onana depart Old Trafford, but there is no question that the main priority is their central midfield rebuild.

Ederson is the first piece of the puzzle there following the exit of Casemiro, with Manuel Ugarte expected to join the Brazilian in leaving the club this summer.

While Michael Carrick will have Ederson and Kobbie Mainoo at his disposal if Ugarte goes, he will have few specialist senior options for the position beyond that.

It has been suggested that United could sign two more midfielders after the Atalanta star, although one is a certainty.

Man United Planning ‘Serious’ £65m Offer for Fernandes

According to Football Transfers, Manchester United are planning on submitting an offer to West Ham for Manuel Fernandes ‘in the coming days’.

The 21-year-old has emerged as a top target for the Red Devils with a deal for Nottingham Forest star Elliot Anderson looking to be out of reach after Manchester City had a bid worth a total of £120m rejected by their Premier League rivals.

Fernandes is expected to leave West Ham by the end of the transfer window, and sources have told Football Transfers that the Red Devils are expected to make a ‘serious’ offer worth £65m imminently.

That offer is below the Hammers’ valuation of the ‘incredible’ one-cap Portugal international however, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that the Championship club are demanding £85m for their midfield sensation.

Man United Targeting Second Premier League Midfielder

Following Manchester City’s rejected Anderson bid, United are now looking elsewhere at midfielders that they think want to join them in the summer transfer window, according to Ornstein.

Fernandes is one of those, with Bournemouth’s Alex Scott another.

Like the Portuguese midfielder, Scott enjoyed another impressive season for the Cherries as they qualified for the Europa League next season.

And, like Fernandes, the 22-year-old also narrowly missed out on a spot in his nation’s World Cup squad, having been overlooked by Thomas Tuchel for his 26-man team.

According to GIVEMESPORT sources, Bournemouth value the Englishman at £80m ahead of the summer transfer window, with two years remaining on his contract at the Vitality Stadium.

United also continue to have an appreciation of Carlos Baleba of Brighton and Hove Albion, with an agreement on personal terms dating back to last summer already in place for the Cameroon international.

The 2026 Formula One season completes its first European double-header this weekend in Barcelona. It is the first of two races in Spain this season and will be another big weekend in the race for the title.

The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya has been an ever present on the F1 calendar since 1991. The race was won by McLaren‘s Oscar Piastri last season in a race which included a notable incident between George Russell and Max Verstappen.

It is Russell who needs a big weekend here this year, as his teammate, Kimi Antonelli, has gained 50 points over the Brit in the past two races. Because of this, it’s now Lewis Hamilton that sits second in the Drivers’ Championship, 66 points behind the Italian teenager.

We have asked the Supercomputer to predict who will come out victorious in Spain this weekend, and here’s how it’ll look.

10

Pierre Gasly

Alpine

Pierre Gasly comes into this race full of confidence, having had his podium finish in Monaco reinstated following an appeal. The Frenchman had finished in third last time out but was demoted to seventh following penalties for speeding in the pit lane.

Alpine successfully appealed, however, and he was reinstated as a podium finisher. The Supercomputer thinks he will be unable to recreate his Monaco performance this time out, though, and will only come away with a single point.

9

Franco Colapinto

Alpine

Argentine Colapinto had a troubled race last time out in Monaco, finishing in 14th. The Supercomputer predicts a better weekend for him in Barcelona, though, and even thinks he will finish ahead of his Alpine teammate.

8

Isack Hadjar

Red Bull

Isack Hadjar had a great race in Monaco, managing engine issues fantastically well. The 21-year-old Frenchman has had a solid start to his Red Bull career and sits just 14 points behind teammate, Max Verstappen. He is, however, predicted to drop further back and only pick up four points here.

7

Max Verstappen

Red Bull

The four-time champion didn’t even complete the first lap in Monaco after an engine issue caused him to crawl off the start line, plummeting him from second on the grid to dead last.

The Dutchman has been left frustrated this season, caused by a mixture of the new regulations and the poor performance of his Red Bull car. The Supercomputer believes he will finish seventh at the venue where he picked up his maiden victory.

6

Charles Leclerc

Ferrari

Charles Leclerc suffered heartbreak in his home Grand Prix last weekend, crashing out late on in the race while sitting in third place. The Monegasque will be fuelled by the disappointment of that race, but will only finish sixth, according to the Supercomputer.

5

Lando Norris

McLaren

Reigning champion Lando Norris suffered a second consecutive retirement last weekend in Monaco. Yet another power-unit issue has derailed any chance the Brit has had of defending his title. He is predicted to come home in fifth position, bringing back a solid haul of 10 points.

4

George Russell

Mercedes

George Russell has now gone five races without a win after winning the season opener in Melbourne. The Brit suffered a retirement in Canada and then a frustrating race in Monaco, which saw him receive a drive-through penalty for not correctly serving a five-second penalty, and caused him to finish outside the points, dropping him to third in the standings.

Regardless, he was off the pace last weekend and struggled in comparison to his teammate, and the Supercomputer predicts a similarly challenging weekend, and for Russell to be missing out on the podium.

3

Oscar Piastri

McLaren

Last year’s race winner Oscar Piastri is predicted by the Supercomputer to grab a podium spot this weekend, which would bring his total for the season to three. The Aussie has finished on the podium in both Japan and Miami this season. He finished fifth last weekend in Monaco and is hoping to go on a run of high points-scoring finishes.

2

Lewis Hamilton

Ferrari

Seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton has moved himself into second position in the standings after being runner-up last weekend in Monaco. The 41-year-old has enjoyed a successful season so far and is hoping to have his first full race victory with Ferrari soon.

He had previously won a Sprint Race for the team back in China last season, but is predicted to just fall narrowly short of victory here in Barcelona this weekend.

1

Kimi Antonelli

Mercedes

Kimi Antonelli secured a fifth consecutive victory in Monaco and extended his championship lead to 66 points after just six races. The Italian teenager looks unstoppable just now and is hoping to run off even further with the championship lead.

The Supercomputer is predicting he will extend his lead over Lewis Hamilton by another seven points here and also gain another 13 points on teammate George Russell, which would make the gap between the Mercedes drivers 81 points.
