Tottenham Hotspur, a rival team in London, is interested in Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella.

Marc Cucurella, a defender for Chelsea, is reportedly a target for Tottenham Hotspur this transfer window, according to Football Transfers (h/t Evening Standard).

Ivan Perisic, who joined Tottenham from Inter Milan in the summer, is likely to leave north London after just one season and Spurs are looking to replace him in the team.

Chelsea is eager to unload Cucurella during this transfer window after paying more than £60 million to acquire the player from Brighton one year ago. To put it mildly, the Spaniard’s debut for the club wasn’t particularly impressive.

It was revealed a few days ago that the 24-year-old intends to remain at Stamford Bridge and contend for a starting position under the new manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Saudi Arabian buyers have been considered by Chelsea. Atletico Madrid had shown interest, but Cucurella’s agent dispelled it as a false rumor.

The former Brighton defender was everywhere in a blue shirt last season. He can play as a left-sided center-back in a three or a left-back in a four. He had trouble on defense and occasionally the home crowd even booed him.

It does seem strange that they want to let go of the player after just one campaign considering how much money they spent on him a year ago. However, it appears that is the way that modern football operates. Ruthless!

Cucurella didn’t have much of an impact here, so selling him to Tottenham won’t hurt either this time. Unless he plays Chelsea, he can go there and hopefully have a successful career.

Although it would be unrealistic to ask Spurs to pay what Chelsea did for the Spaniard last year, he is still worth a good portion of that, so the price would be crucial in this potential deal.

Two Serie A sales could determine Lukaku’s future; the striker’s 10 goals could be crucial.

It was obvious that it was “club briefing Saturday” when suddenly several journalists covering Chelsea reported that Inter had had their most recent offer for the forward rejected and that Chelsea wanted €45 million for him.

It appears that both Juventus and the Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal are thinking about making an offer at that value.

Don’t discount Inter just yet, though. They appear to be close to transferring goalkeeper Andre  Onana to Manchester United, which would finally give them some extra cash for spending.

In a similar vein, Juventus’ purchase of Lukaku is unlikely unless they can find a home for Dusan Vlahovic, their most recent experiment with the number 9. In Serie A last season, the Serb scored 10 goals, matching Lukaku’s total.

In spite of our desire to get rid of Lukaku as soon as possible, we might need to practice patience and wait until those other deals are completed.

Except, of course, if the Belgian decides to move to Saudi Arabia after all.

In the midst of a Liverpool transfer rumor, Mauricio Pochettino confirms Levi Colwill talks with Chelsea

Levi Colwill, a defender for Chelsea, has been linked to a permanent move away from Stamford Bridge throughout this summer. Mauricio Pochettino has provided an update.

Levi Colwill’s place in the team for Thursday’s game against Chelsea has been discussed, according to Mauricio Pochettino.

From other Premier League football teams, such as Liverpool, Colwill is the focus of a lot of interest. London is aware of the Reds’ repeated inquiries about the defender this week. Colwill, however, is still not up for sale, according to Chelsea.

At the European Championships, the 20-year-old is playing for England’s Under-21 team. On Saturday night, the young Three Lions will play Spain in the competition’s championship match, with Chelsea winger Noni Madueke joining Colwill on the field.

“We spoke with Levi and Noni yesterday. Noni, a Tottenham player in the Under-18s, is one that I am familiar with. In his first press conference as Chelsea’s head coach, Pochettino said, “Of course, I know Levi.

“I hope tomorrow will be a good day for them.
True, the fact that they are in Spain makes it challenging for me.
We send them our best wishes. We are anticipating their addition to the group. They probably will fly to America and join us there. “.

Liverpool is seeking any kind of motivation to sign Colwill to a contract. But Chelsea is determined to get the Cobham grad a new, long-term contract at Stamford Bridge in the near future.

In his first few days as head coach, Pochettino has already met a significant number of his new players at Cobham. When the Argentine was questioned about his goals at Stamford Bridge, he simply stated that winning is the reason he accepted the position.

“Winning is my goal,” he stated. You can’t just talk about doing a good job and playing well when you’re at a club like Chelsea. Obviously, we must prevail. “
