Tottenham Hotspur is refusing to accept Bayern Munich’s improved offer for Harry Kane. Despite Bayern’s increased bid, Tottenham has reportedly set a hefty £120 million price tag for their star player, indicating that the offer is still insufficient. Negotiations between the clubs are ongoing, but Tottenham seems determined to hold onto Kane unless a substantial offer is made. Saudi side Al-Hilal has reportedly offered Romelu Lukaku £70.3 million over three years to persuade him to join. They are allegedly the only team willing to pay Chelsea’s £40 million asking price for the Belgian striker. Lukaku’s preference is to stay in Europe, but he is now considering the possibility of moving to Saudi Arabia due to Al-Hilal’s substantial offer. His final decision is uncertain at this point.

Manor Solomon is reportedly set to be announced as a Tottenham Hotspur player. The Israeli winger arrived in London, completed his medical, and is expected to sign the contract soon. Solomon is joining Spurs as a free agent from Shakhtar Donetsk, enhancing Tottenham’s attacking options. The details of the contract remain undisclosed, but fans are eagerly awaiting the official announcement.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic set to join Al Hilal

Al Hilal is reportedly finalizing the signing of Serbian midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio for a fee of 40 million euros. The Serbian is expected to sign a three-year contract, which will keep him in the Saudi Pro League until 2027. Milinkovic-Savic will join the likes of Ruben Neves and Kalidou Koulibaly as one of Al Hilal’s major European signings. Known for his contributions to Lazio’s success, the midfielder scored 9 goals and provided 8 assists last season, helping the team secure a Champions League spot with a second-place finish in Serie A. Since joining Lazio in 2015, Milinkovic-Savic has developed into a dynamic playmaker known for his physicality and tactical awareness.

Tottenham Hotspur sign Manor Solomon

Tottenham Hotspur has officially completed the signing of forward Manor Solomon on a free transfer. The 23-year-old Israeli international, who played for Fulham on loan from Shakhtar Donetsk last season, has agreed to a five-year deal with Spurs. Solomon made a name for himself in the Premier League, scoring in five consecutive games and becoming the first Israeli player to achieve such a feat. His impressive performances attracted interest from clubs like Barcelona, Arsenal, and RB Leipzig. However, Solomon ultimately chose Tottenham, influenced by the club’s rich Jewish history and fanbase. He joins James Maddison and Guglielmo Vicario as Spurs’ third signing in the summer transfer window, as new manager Ange Postecoglou strengthens the squad for the upcoming season.

Chelsea closing in on Angelo Gabriel

Eighteen-year-old Brazilian winger Angelo Gabriel, a product of Santos’ renowned youth academy, is reportedly set to make a name for himself in Europe. Despite facing challenges along the way, he has quickly risen through the ranks at Santos and has become a regular in the first team. Following in the footsteps of Santos alumni like Neymar, Rodrygo, and Alex Sandro, Angelo is now ready to pursue a career in Europe. While Barcelona had the option to sign him, it has reportedly been confirmed that he will join Chelsea instead. The Blues have committed to a €15 million (£13m/$16m) deal to secure his services, adding him to their roster of promising young talents.
