Here is your Tottenham morning roundup on Monday, August 21.
Arsenal transfer battle
Tottenham could be joined by north London rivals Arsenal in the race to sign Torino centre-back Perr Schuurs in the coming weeks.
Transfer specialist Dean Jones told the Ranks FC Ultras Podcast that the N17 outfit are keeping a keen eye on Schuurs as an option this summer. However, Arsenal could also be in the race, having followed the former Netherlands youth international in the previous few windows.
Previous reports have also linked the centre-back with a move to Liverpool as Tuttosport reported that they have enquired about a move, along with Napoli. Torino are believed to value Schuurs at £25million, which could prove to be a bargain in the current market, given inflated fees.
Laporte blow
Tottenham are set to miss out on Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte.
Spurs had been one of many clubs linked with a move for the Spain international this summer, but according to Fabrizio Romano, an agreement has been reached with Al-Nassr over a €30million (£25.6m) deal.
Richarlison criticism
Spurs striker Richarliosn has been criticised for his performance in the 2-0 win over Manchester United by Chris Waddles.
The Brazilian endured a difficult first 45 minute on Saturday but did show glimpses of his talent as the content went on. However, speaking to BBC Sport, the former Tottenham winger said: “Rashford started a bit poorly in the first 10 minutes but he is really coming into the game now.
On the other end of the pitch, the white shirt leading the line for Tottenham hasn’t done much. Really disappointed with Richarlison so far,” he told BBC Sport.
