Tottenham news round-up: Son Heung-min update as medical booked
Daniel Levy is silencing his critics after Tottenham had their busiest day of the transfer window.
Levy looks set to finally pull the trigger on a multitude of deals, with Mohammed Kudus spotted at Hotspur Way ahead of a big-money move from West Ham United.
This will be the Lilywhites’ fourth confirmed deal of the summer, following the arrivals of Mathys Tel, Kevin Danso, and Kōta Takai, but the first marquee signing for Thomas Frank.
The Dane will be grateful that Levy is finally fulfilling his promise and will be excited by what’s ahead, as Tottenham News brings you the latest updates from N17.
Arsenal close to pulling out of Viktor Gyökeres race
Part of the Tottenham supporters’ previous frustrations have been with Arsenal’s efficiency in the transfer market, which has been exacerbated by Eberechi Eze’s mooted move to the Gunners.
Mikel Arteta’s side also looked set to strengthen up front finally, but a late twist has emerged in Arsenal’s pursuit of Victor Gyökeres.
| Competitions | Appearances | Goals | Assists | Minutes Played |
| Primeira Liga | 33 | 39 | 8 | 2,804′ |
| Champions League | 8 | 6 | – | 606′ |
| Taça de Portugal | 7 | 5 | 3 | 493′ |
The Gunners are close to giving up their pursuit of the formidable striker after three days of radio silence, as reported by A BOLA (10 July).
Gyökeres has become one of Europe’s deadliest number nines, and the Sweden international was previously linked with a move to Spurs, who could now capitalise on the situation and use Gyökeres’ close connection with Lucas Bergvall to pull off a seismic move.
Son Heung-min’s return is delayed by pre-agreed commitments
Son Heung-min’s pre-agreed family commitments have delayed the Spurs captain’s return to Hotspur Way, with the 33-year-old due to return at the end of the week, as per Football London (10 July).
The South Korea icon has been linked with a move away from Spurs this summer, with several clubs across world football interested in signing the forward.
However, Son has reportedly decided to stay at Tottenham [Han June] for one more year for a shot at the UEFA Champions League, and will undoubtedly sit with both Frank and the club upon his return to discuss his future.
Tottenham book medical for Morgan Gibbs-White transfer
News quickly emerged on Thursday (10 July) that Tottenham would trigger Morgan Gibbs-White’s £60million release clause to prise him away from Nottingham Forest.
The England international was one of the shining lights in Nuno Espirito Santo’s team as he helped secure European qualification for the East Midlands side last season.
Gibbs-White is now set for a medical with Spurs, who are hoping to announce his arrival before the end of the week.
The emergence of this quick development has excited Tottenham fans, who can scarcely remember a day in Spurs’ recent history when the club has been as proactive in the transfer window.
