Today’s rumours have a hint of tearful goodbyes
Liverpool are believed to be willing to let Joe Gomez leave Anfield this summer and there are no shortage of suitors for the England international. Sunderland, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Everton, West Ham, Leeds, and Burnley have formed a disorderly queue for the 28-year-old who is valued at £30m.
Despite not having done business with West Ham since 2011 because he does not get on with the club’s owners, the Tottenham Hotspur chair Daniel Levy is prepared to bite the bullet in an effort to bring Mohammed Kudus to north London. The Ghanaian has an £85m release clause on his contract but Spurs are believed to be preparing to test the waters with a £50m lowball offer.
The future of Son Heung-min at Tottenham Hotspur seems as up-in-the-air as Steph Houghton after that Leonardo Bonucci tackle during Soccer Aid on Sunday night but if the 32-year-old is to leave White Hart Lane after a decade of service, it will not be before his club’s pre-season tour to south-east Asia later this summer. Spurs are scheduled to play Arsenal in Hong Kong on 31 July and have a friendly with Newcastle scheduled in Seoul three days later and given Son’s huge popularity in his homeland, the tour’s organisers have already signed him up for assorted off-field money-spinning activities. Fenerbahce and several Saudi Pro League clubs are rumoured to be interested in signing the Spurs skipper.
