“Spurs hit by third transfer setback in 48 hours as another player rejects move following Tomori and Tel snubs.”
“Spurs suffer third transfer blow in 48 hours as another player snubs move after Tomori and Tel rejections.”
“They are urgently searching for a centre-back to sign.”
“Spurs have suffered yet another transfer setback, as a third defender in under 48 hours has rejected a move to North London.
With the transfer deadline fast approaching on Monday at 11pm, the club remains in urgent pursuit of defensive reinforcements amid an ongoing injury crisis.
Cristian Romero is still weeks away from returning, according to Ange Postecoglou, while Radu Dragusin picked up a knock during Spurs’ Europa League victory over Elfsborg.”
“Micky van de Ven, who recently rejoined the squad after a lengthy spell on the sidelines since December, has also faced fitness struggles this season.
At one point, Spurs appeared close to securing AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori, with talks reaching an advanced stage.”
“However, after discussions with Spurs, a report from Sky Italy claims that former Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori has decided to remain at the San Siro.”
“Shortly after Tomori’s rejection, highly sought-after Mathys Tel also declined a move to Spurs following face-to-face talks.
Tottenham had reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Bayern Munich for a £50 million deal, but according to The Telegraph, the 19-year-old is holding out for a better offer from other Premier League clubs. Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Aston Villa are all interested, though Tel has already indicated his preferred destination.
Now, Chelsea defender Axel Disasi has seemingly become the latest player to snub Spurs, with Fabrizio Romano providing an update on his uncertain future at Stamford Bridge.”
“Tottenham had agreed a loan deal with Chelsea for Axel Disasi, including a loan fee but no buy option,” Fabrizio Romano revealed on X, formerly Twitter.
However, Disasi has rejected Spurs’ offer, having already agreed personal terms with Aston Villa. Despite this, Chelsea are unwilling to negotiate with Villa, viewing them as direct rivals for a Champions League spot.”
“Speaking ahead of Spurs’ victory over Brentford, Ange Postecoglou reaffirmed the club’s stature, insisting they are still ‘a big club’ despite the recent transfer rejections.”
“It depends on what the players are looking for,” Postecoglou said. “You can see it two ways—yes, our league form hasn’t been great, but there are still big opportunities for success in the final three or four months of the season.”
“It’s still a big club, one that can compete for honours,” Postecoglou added. “It comes down to whether a player sees the potential we see—certainly the potential I see. If it takes too much convincing, then they’re probably not the right fit for us.”
