Tottenham remains interested in a move for Japan Olympic star, Takehiro Tomiyasu and they will return with another attempt to sign him with an improved offer this week.
They had turned their attention towards completing the transfer of Cristian Romero after seeing their bid for the versatile Japanese star rejected initially.
Football Insider claims they offered Bologna £15.5m plus add-ons to sign the 22-year-old.
That offer was rejected and they will now return with an improved one to close out the deal.
It claims that Fabio Paratici is prepared to offer £17million for him now and hopes that will be enough to conclude negotiations.
Tomiyasu is versatile and can play as either a right-back or a centre-back in a back three.
Spurs are bolstering their defence and with Romero also joining, Tomiyasu will probably play as a right-back for much of the time.
He would replace the outgoing Serge Aurier and will be confident that he can win the competition for a place with Matt Doherty.
Doherty thrived under Nuno Espirito Santo at Wolves, but he struggled at Tottenham last season.
It remains to be seen if the new Tottenham boss will give him the chance to be his first choice again in the upcoming season.
So Thomas over there at Chelsea is making excuses to go sign Lukaku. Giroud was a bit part player the last time I checked. Tammy Abraham and Werner were the first choice strikers, so I do not get the analogy that he needs to replace a guy at the end of the bench with $100M purchase. Go spend your money no one needs any splaining.

One of those rumours that may be true or might be all Chinese whispers then.
Dier needs to go. Give him away.
Davies I’m 50/50 about, seems a good pro – decent backup, could be more reliable than Sess depending on formations. If a solid offer comes in cash in but don’t give him away.
Ditto.
However, was rumoured this was an all but done deal & would be finalised once Japan were no longer participating at the Olympics. (Knocked out by Spain the other day)
We certainly need more transfers to follow, also to shop out sisso winks Dier Dele (?) I see Davies is another one we are looking to sell too. Maybe lose Harry and get a much better team / squad.
Until I see a player holding up a home shirt at the training ground I don’t believe anything online
Has anyone heard anything official about this or is it all just rumours?
