The club wants fresh competition for the Micky van de VenCristian Romero pairing, and speculation around a possible Radu Dragusin exit is pushing Spurs to add depth at the back. Oumar Soulet stands out in Serie A for his consistent displays, strong physical profile and ability to cope with high-tempo games. Solet has been linked with Aston Villa in the past.

I've been talking to you guys in the recent days here on the channel, and I keep repeating that Kees Smit will be absolutely one to watch in 2026. From what I'm told, unlikely to be January transfer window, more likely to be summer transfer window. There is a club, for example, prepared to pay big money, and that club would be Newcastle. Newcastle, love Kees Smit.
According to Italian outlet Tuttosport, the Reds are among the clubs tracking the 20-year-old. Yldz has been one of Juventus' standout performers this season, contributing seven goals and six assists across all competitions. Comfortable operating across the front line or drifting into pockets as a second forward, the Turkey international is viewed by scouts as one of the most complete attacking prospects in Europe.
Barcelona's already complicated search for defensive reinforcements in January appears to have suffered another setback, with a report from SPORT pointing towards what is effectively the end of the road in their pursuit of Nathan Ake. Ake had emerged as a serious option for Barcelona as they explored short-term solutions to reinforce the back line. The Dutch international is open to leaving Manchester City, and the idea of playing for Barça was particularly appealing to him.
The veteran striker will officially join the Serie A giants when the January transfer window opens, having reached an agreement to end his disappointing 18-month spell at the London Stadium. Fullkrug wants to play himself into form in Milan ahead of next summer's World Cup. He will also hope to seal a permanent move to the Rossoneri, although recent reports would suggest that the chances of this happening are far from certain.
AC Milan have considered making a move for Mauro Icardi to replace Santiago Gimenez, but now the reverse might be considered by Galatasaray. Gimenez's time at Milan has seemingly been heading towards an end, and there have been many options linked to replace him. After a lot of deliberation, Niclas Fullkrug will arrive as an aid for the frontline. However, the Mexican could also stay in Italy, with the sale of Christopher Nkunku not to be ruled out.
Christensen, 29, made his first start since September in Tuesday's Copa del Rey tie against Guadalajara, scoring the first goal in the 2-0 win. However, Barça say he suffered an "unfortunate twist of the knee" this weekend, ruling him out of Sunday's LaLiga game against Villarreal and for the foreseeable future. - Sevilla's Almeyda blasts ref vs. Madrid: 'I'm not a clown' -Mbappé ties Ronaldo record for most Real Madrid goals in a year "After tests carried out on the player, a conservative course of treatment has been chosen," the club said in a short statement.

Atalanta's latest gift to the football world, Marco Palestra, has emerged as the primary target for Europe's elite clubs heading into the winter transfer window. The 20-year-old starlet, a product of the Bergamo youth academy currently excelling on loan at Cagliari, is proving to be much more than a standard right-back. Combining high tactical intelligence with physical dominance, he is taking the market by storm.
According to Fichajes in the summer, Spurs were plotting a move for Real Sociedad winger Takefusa Kubo that could have cost up to 70m. That never materialised, and the north London club may be thankful it didn't, as the same Spanish outlet are now claiming the Japan international could be available for as little as 40m, just over half his potential summer value.
He signed an improved deal in the summer, and it's made a big difference to his wage packet. He's one of the highest-paid players at Tottenham, so it won't be cheap to get him out. If Atletico think he's going to walk out, they'll have to think again. He'd cost 60-70m. The fact that he's Argentinian and Diego Simeone's Argentinian will have nothing to do with it.
