The latest transfer news for Tottenham Hotspur includes a new link with a promising young midfielder, Ousmane Diabate. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 21 possible arrivals and 7 potential exits, with the hottest storyline currently revolving around Marcos Senesi. Below are the latest updates on the most important transfer rumours surrounding the club.
Ousmane Diabate
On Tuesday, it was reported that Tottenham Hotspur is closely monitoring Gençlerbirliği SK's 18-year-old Guinean defensive midfielder, Ousmane Diabaté, viewing him as a future investment. After initial discussions with the player's representatives, the London club sent scouts to Turkey to observe him, a move described by sources close to the case as a more concrete phase of their interest. Internal discussions have also occurred between Tottenham's emissaries and the sporting director of Gençlerbirliği SK. While several other European clubs have reportedly shown interest, Tottenham's pursuit appears particularly serious. The club intends to complete preliminary steps before submitting an official offer, and the Turkish club's management would not oppose a departure for a satisfactory price. A member of Diabaté's entourage confirmed ongoing discussions, expressing hope for a positive outcome and noting that the English side seems especially determined. The player's contract, which expires on June 30, 2029, reportedly includes clauses offering flexibility for a significant bid.
Matt O'Riley
TEAMtalk understands that Tottenham is a potential destination for Matt O'Riley, as of a report on Tuesday. The 25-year-old Brighton midfielder is also attracting what well-placed sources describe as strong interest from Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund. According to sources, Tottenham manager Roberto de Zerbi has a strong liking for the player, whose name has been mentioned in the club's recruitment meetings. It is suggested that Spurs could attempt to sign the midfielder if they avoid relegation. Brighton are reportedly willing to sell the player permanently this summer if their valuation of approximately £35 million is met, a sale which would activate a sell-on clause for Celtic. O'Riley is under contract until 2029.
Ander Barrenetxea
On Sunday, it was reported that Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United have all scouted 24-year-old Spanish winger Ander Barrenetxea extensively this year and were impressed by his performances. Real Sociedad wants to keep the winger, who is under contract until 2030, and does not intend to encourage offers. Amid the Premier League interest, the Basque club is expected to require payment of the player's €75m (£65.5m) release clause.
Alex Meret
Italian goalkeeper Alex Meret has been linked with a move away from Napoli. According to a report from Area Napoli on Friday, Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the goalkeeper as they need to replace Guglielmo Vicario. Meret's contract with Napoli runs until 2027, and AS Monaco have also been linked with the player.
Marcos Senesi
On Friday, Bournemouth confirmed on their official site that Marcos Senesi will be leaving the club as a free agent this summer. According to a post on X by Ben Jacobs, Spurs have an agreement on terms with Senesi if they avoid relegation. Both parties had agreed on no January exit.
Eduardo Camavinga
Tottenham Hotspur have a serious and long-standing interest in Eduardo Camavinga, according to a Friday report. Sources indicate that Real Madrid would likely demand a fee of around £50 million to approve a sale.
Leo Scienza
Sky Sports Germany reported on Tuesday that several major clubs are monitoring Leo Scienza ahead of the summer, with Tottenham Hotspur said to be interested. It is reported that Scienza could be worth more than €30million (£25.3m). He does not have a release clause in his Southampton contract, which runs until 2029. Brazilian clubs Flamengo and Palmeiras are also reportedly tracking him.
