Tottenham Hotspur are planning to hold talks over signing a marquee player this summer, with the Spurs transfer target also ready to demand an exit from his club at the end of this season in a potential boost for Johan Lange and Daniel Levy.
Tottenham preparing for AZ Alkmaar after dramatic Bournemouth draw
Ange Postecoglou is under intense pressure to come away from their Europa League second leg tie against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday with nothing but a win, given the competition is their last chance to take anything positive from this regrettable campaign.

Spurs are 13th in the Premier League and out of both domestic cups, so the Lilywhites are pinning all of their hopes on overturning the 1-0 deficit from their first-leg encounter with AZ.

They warmed up for the clash with a dramatic 2-2 draw against Bournemouth, and Spurs were forced to overcome a deficit in that game as well. Goals from Pape Matar Sarr and Son Heung-min earned the north Londoners a point from two goals down, and despite the hectic nature of their latest result, Postecoglou’s side can perhaps take some encouragement.
“Chaotic game for sure,” said Postecoglou on Tottenham’s draw with Bournemouth.
“We added to the chaos and it was a little bit self-inflicted, especially in the first half, just with the ball we were really careless with our passing and that allowed the game to be played on the terms Bournemouth would like with their transition football. So yeah chaotic but at 2-0 down it would have been very easy, particularly with the atmosphere as it was, for the boys to just let the game get away from us, but credit to them, they found a way to get back into the game and we got something out of it.”
Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero also got a much-needed run out ahead of Spurs’ clash with AZ tomorrow, with the duo previously missing for large periods of the campaign through injury.
Their absences were sorely felt, and it prompted the club to strike a last-gasp loan-to-buy deal for Kevin Danso from RC Lens, who has gone on to impress.
As well as this, Spurs made a high-profile £70 million January bid for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, which was swiftly rejected by the Eagles.
Tottenham planning summer talks to sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace
Even though their initial winter offer was turned down, Postecoglou’s side haven’t given hope of eventually striking a deal for the England international.
According to CaughtOffside, Tottenham are planning to re-open talks for Guehi in the summer, and it is believed the centre-back is ready to demand an exit from Selhurst Park as he enters the final year of his contract.
The £75-80 million defender, as stated in this report, is also attracting interest from Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle United – so it will by no means be an easy race for Spurs to win as elite English sides clamour for Guehi’s services.
Guehi, labelled a “sensational talent” by Palace chairman Steve Parish, also wants a long-term contract until 2030 from interested clubs.
