The official start of the 2024 summer transfer window is next Friday, but moves have already started to happen. Kylian Mbappe will officially (and finally) join Real Madrid. Tosin Adarabioyo will finally leave Fulham and join Chelsea on July 1st.

Coaches have been fired and have left to join new clubs, like Enzo Maresca leaving Leicester City to join Chelsea and Paulo Fonseca joining AC Milan from Lille. It's one of the best times of the football calendar, so let's dive into some rumors involving Tottenham Hotspur and see how true they could be.


Tottenham transfer news roundup - Friday, June 7

Spurs linked to Newcastle striker Alexander Isak

It's well known that the Lilywhites could use more help on the attacking front, especially at striker. Richarlison has been solid, but there is a possibility that he could be sold, perhaps to a team in the Saudi Pro League. If that happens, the need for a true striker to serve as the point man for manager Ange Postecoglou's system is even more pressing.

During his time with the Magpies, Isak has quickly become one of the Premier League's best strikers, and it could cost anywhere from 80-100 million pounds to pry him from Newcastle. It doesn't help matters that he enjoys playing at St. James Park, and for good reason. He's become an even bigger star under manager Eddie Howe, and he should continue to grow. So as nice as it would be for Spurs to make the leap and sign Isak, it likely won't happen. Truth Meter: 3/10.
