7 Years Later, Tottenham Make Decision On Paulo Dybala Transfer

Tottenham have work to do in the upcoming transfer window to get the club back where it needs to be, with this summer being incredibly important to rebuild the squad.

Some high-profile exits are expected, with Cristian Romero being heavily linked with a transfer switch elsewhere, on top of the likes of Micky van de Ven, and Guglielmo Vicario.

With much of the original leadership group from the past few seasons ready to leave Tottenham, the club will be scouring the market for the next players to come in and fill that void.

Among those available is Paulo Dybala, who could be available as a free agent and is seemingly open to joining a Premier League club next.

With a failed move back in 2019, Spurs have been linked once again with a move, and a decision is seemingly on the way over a deal for the Argentinian international.

Seven years on from trying and failing to land Dybala, Tottenham have once again been presented with a chance to land the playmaker in the transfer market.

However, according to Football Insider, Spurs could pull the plug on their long-term interest in the 32-year-old, despite his possible availability.

It’s claimed that the club are concerned over both the age profile and the injury issues that have plagued Dybala in recent seasons, meaning they are likely to look elsewhere.

The forward has been out of action for a large chunk of the campaign for Roma so far, suffering from a mixture of knee issues and hamstring concerns.

That has led to just three goals and six assists for the Serie A club across all competitions, but when he has been available, there has been plenty of praise.

“I never had any doubts about Paulo,” Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini said earlier this season about the experienced star. “He’s an extraordinary player and a striker, but not a winger. He can play as a first or second striker, he can play anywhere.”

While Dybala may have that quality in patches, it seems as though Tottenham may look elsewhere in the market, with an emphasis on quality and availability.

Tottenham’s Number 10 Problem

If there’s one area that Tottenham will have doubts about this summer, it’ll be the number ten role, given the different struggles the team has faced there this campaign.

Both James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski have missed the majority of the season, and while the former is still easing his way back in from an ACL injury, the latter is still out of action with no return date set.

That prompted the recruitment team into the market for a replacement, with Xavi Simons eventually making his way to North London as the marquee summer signing.

The Dutchman only managed to show glimpses of his quality, before his season was cut short with an ACL injury of his own, which will now spill into next season.

So, with Simons and Kulusevski set for extended periods out, and Maddison only just coming back, there are question marks over what to do in that playmaker role.

Perhaps the best option is to bolster the deeper midfield with a versatile option who can play largely as a number eight, but can also fill in as a number ten.

Being comfortable on the ball is a key trait that Tottenham clearly need for whoever comes in, while fitness is the other key issue to consider.

Those boxes won’t be ticked by Dybala, unfortunately, with Spurs needing to look forward and not backward with their decision-making.

Tottenham Set to Sign Liverpool’s Andy Robertson After Premier League Survival

Tottenham are now set to secure their first signing of the summer after their place in next season’s Premier League was confirmed.

The work starts now for Roberto De Zerbi, and Tottenham as they look to head back in the right direction after a dismal few years.

The summer transfer window is the opportunity for them to rebuild and go again, as they can’t afford to be battling for relegation anymore.

A host of players are likely to leave the club, but that also means they will bring in a load of new additions.

It could be one of Tottenham’s busiest windows in their recent history, as many players will be wanting to leave due to a lack of European football.

Spurs will also need to strengthen after such a poor run, so we could see a number of incomings and outgoings this summer.

Tottenham to Secure First Summer Signing

According to GIVEMESPORT correspondent Ben Jacobs, Liverpool defender Andy Robertson is set to join Tottenham now their Premier League status is secure.

Robertson, described as ‘elite’, is set to be a free agent, with his contract at Liverpool expiring.

The Scottish international said goodbye to Liverpool fans at Anfield on Sunday, with him and Mohamed Salah both leaving the club.

Tottenham looked to secure Robertson earlier in the year, but with Spurs battling to stay in the Premier League, a deal wasn’t guaranteed.

Strong Start to Window for Tottenham

Securing the signature of Robertson on a free transfer is a strong start to the summer transfer window for Tottenham.

The Scottish left-back will bring plenty of Premier League experience to the club and a winning mentality after securing a host of trophies during his time at Anfield.

Although he is coming to the end of his career, there is no doubt he can still offer something in the Premier League, both on and off the pitch.

Tottenham certainly can’t stop there, though, as they need to bring in a host of players all over the pitch in order to head back in the right direction.

Tottenham Preparing For Life After Cristian Romero As Club Relationship ‘Strained’

Tottenham are preparing for life after Cristian Romero, as TeamTalk has reported that the club are making moves behind the scenes to help facilitate an exit.

The centre-back has been with the North London club since 2022, growing into an important presence in the backline in the four years he has spent there.

The 28-year-old has made over 150 appearances for Spurs, in which he became club captain and led the team to Europa League glory last year.

However, frustrations have grown with Romero, as Tottenham’s scare with Premier League relegation has only highlighted concerns with the Argentina international.

Even with survival confirmed, it appears as though the club captain is now set for an exit, with clubs circling a possible deal.

Romero’s potential exit comes as little surprise, but TeamTalk reports that Tottenham are actively making moves to help push through a deal this summer.

It’s claimed that Spurs have instructed intermediaries to complete a move, with the relationship internally between the club and player described as “strained” after recent weeks.

That comes after controversy behind the scenes between Romero and Tottenham, after reports claimed he would be in Argentina over the weekend to watch his boyhood club Belgrano take on River Plate in an important fixture, with the title on the line.

However, the defender made a return to England and was present for his club’s final match of the season against Everton, which saw the Lilywhites avoid relegation in tense circumstances.

Romero’s possible exit comes despite the importance that Roberto De Zerbi outlined for the centre-back when he initially took the job at Tottenham.

Speaking to NBC Sports in April, the Spurs manager said: “I think Cuti is crucial for us, crucial for Tottenham as a club. He is the captain, he is maybe the most important player in our squad, and to achieve our goal, we need the best of Romero.”

Atletico Madrid have been described as the most likely destination, while Barcelona have also been linked with a switch for the star.

Tottenham Need Defensive Reinforcements

While Romero looks set to make an exit this summer, he may not be the only Tottenham star from the backline who could leave the club.

Micky van de Ven is a defender in-demand, having been linked with a move to Liverpool and Manchester United, while Radu Dragusin is another player who could leave.

That means reinforcements are needed, with Marcos Senesi set to join Tottenham as the first signing of the summer after agreeing a deal so long as relegation was avoided.

With no European football, there is less need to sign quite as many options for depth, but another starting defender would be needed to bolster the team.

It remains to be seen who will be in contention, with clear upgrades needed across the squad.

West Ham have released an official club statement after their relegation from the Premier League was confirmed.

Despite securing a 3-0 victory over Leeds on the final day of the season, the Hammers have now been relegated to the Championship after Tottenham sealed a 1-0 win over Everton.

It’s been a dismal season for the capital club, and they went into the final day with minimal chance of securing survival.

The relegation battle was completely in Tottenham’s hands heading into the final day of the season, realistically needing just a point due to their superior goal difference.

Even a convincing 3-0 win wasn’t enough for West Ham, and the club have now released an official statement.

West Ham Release Official Statement

After their relegation to the Championship was confirmed, West Ham released an official club statement on their website, thanking the supporters for their backing during a painful season. The Hammers admit the mistakes they’ve made and suggest that the hard work begins immediately.

“The confirmation of our relegation from the Premier League today marks a sad and painful moment for West Ham United.

The Club wishes to sincerely thank every single one of our supporters for the constant and loyal backing they have given, throughout what has been an extremely difficult and disappointing season.

Ultimately, we have not repaid that support. The plain truth is that we have not been good enough. We must now face the consequences of that failure with honesty, transparency and a determination to repair, refocus and rebuild.

West Ham United is a football club whose unique identity is defined not by success or failure on the pitch, but by the values and traditions of our roots in east London, and by the spirit of the people who have Claret and Blue in their hearts. The Club acknowledges how challenging this season has been for them and knows it must take steps to restore a sense of pride, faith and belief.

As we have done before, we will fight with everything we have to return to the top division of English football at the first time of asking. The hard work to make that goal a reality begins immediately.”

It is interesting that the Hammers have decided to speak so soon after relegation, but it’s refreshing that they wanted to send a message to supporters straight away.

This statement might not mean a lot to fans at the moment, as they will be heartbroken due to the situation.

Nuno Speaks Out After Relegation

Manager Nuno Espirito Santo has also spoken out following the relegation, refusing to answer questions about his future.

“It’s not about me. We are in a tough place and West Ham has to go back in the Premier League. But now we have to go through this period of sadness, understanding the frustration and anger of the fans. You keep insisting [to ask] me about that and my mind is not there, you understand? Today, tomorrow, if we have a press conference, next one, for sure we can speak about that. But today, it’s about understanding how tough it is.”

It remains to be seen whether Nuno is going to stay in his job following West Ham’s relegation, and it’s no surprise that he refused to comment.

West Ham fans will undoubtedly be disappointed with the job Nuno has done since arriving at the club, as the only goal for the Spanish manager was to avoid relegation.

Now, it’s about West Ham bouncing back up as soon as possible.
