Club are determined not to sell £20m player to Tottenham this summer

Tottenham look set to face difficulty in signing one of Ange Postecoglou’s targets this summer – as the player’s club plan to dig their heels in.

Spurs have already made progress with one deal as a move to bring Timo Werner back to N17 on loan is practically sealed.

Now, Tottenham are turning attentions towards a Championship star – a🎃lthough the move does not seem straightforward by any means…

Sunderland hope to frustrate Tottenham in Jobe Bellingham pursuit

A story from the now claims that Tottenham hope to sign Sunderland No.7 Jobe Bellingham this summer.

The younger brother of Jude Bellingham has made a name for himself as a similarly precocious talent across spells at Birmingham and Sunderland – scori🥀ng seven goals in 45 Championship appearances last season from central midfield.

Sunderland owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus is believed to be determined to keep the 18-year-old at the Stadium of Light as he aims for pr𒁏omotion in the 2024/25 campaign, and views the teenager as a crucial player.

In the event of any sale, the F⛄renchman would demand upwards of £20m for Bellingham, who is also attracting interest from Crystal Palace, Brentford and Borussia Dortmund.

Birmingham are 🎐said to have a sell-on ꦓclause worth 15%, so the Black Cats understandably want a large fee.

Spurs could sign a different attacking midfielder

If a move for Bellingham fails to progress, Tot﷽tenham have eyes on a different attacking midfielder – Ebere Eze.

A story from states that Spurs plan to step up their interest in the England internationalꦡ across the next two weeks, with Crystal Palace believed to be willing to sell for £60m.

Those close to Eze were also spotted in a private box at the Tottenham Hotspur♓ Stadium last season, adding fuel to th🥂e fire.

As aforesaid, Crystal Palace are also interested in Bellingham, so it is possible – in our view at least – that the Eagles may be more open to selling Eze if they can secure the Sunderlan⛦d wonderkid.

Be sure to keep anꦫ eye on developments at Spurs, as signings are expected.
