Spurs make Osimhen approach - Monday's gossip

What the report says

Tottenham are reported to have made an initial approach for Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen as they continue to assess attacking options in the transfer market. BBC Sport Football said the proposal could rise to about £55m, while Galatasaray are believed to want nearer £65m for the Nigeria international. The item places the development within a wider round-up of summer transfer gossip involving several Premier League clubs.

The same report says Spurs have also held positive talks with Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, although Liverpool are said to have no intention of selling the Dutch international. Elsewhere, Atletico Madrid are thought to be considering a move for Manchester City winger Jack Grealish, with Everton and Aston Villa also linked. The article adds that Newcastle and Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes is expected to undergo a medical at Arsenal in a deal reportedly worth close to £80m, though this remains speculative transfer reporting rather than confirmed club news.

BBC Sport Football’s roundup also mentions other possible moves, including Newcastle target Lukas Hornicek, Hull City interest in Mohamed-Ali Cho and Lucas Herrington, and Chelsea’s revised bid for Pep Chavarria. As a transfer gossip piece, the main significance is that it suggests a busy market for top-flight clubs, with Spurs appearing active in both striker and wide-forward discussions ahead of any formal agreement.
