Newcastle clearly don’t seem like going away as they remain interested, so perhaps this will just be an opening offer to test the waters and get further negotiations going later.

Eddie Howe’s side were far from at their best in 2025/26, but they’ve qualified for the Champions League twice in the last four seasons, whilst also notably winning the Carabao Cup in 2024/25.

Spurs, meanwhile, have finished 17th in consecutive seasons, only securing Premier League survival on the final day of last season, though they did win the Europa League in 2024/25.
