Here is your Tottenham morning digest on Friday, April 8.
Tottenham join Darwin Nunez race
Tottenham have joined a plethora of clubs chasing the signature of Benfica striker Darwin Nunez, according to A Bola, via Sport Witness. The 22-year-old has managed to impress a number of suitors, including North London rivals Arsenal, with his latest strike against Liverpool in the Champions League continuing his meteoric rise.
He may not come cheap though, as the report claims Benfica are constantly increasing his valuation, setting it as high as a potential €100million (£83million) move. Whether Spurs could afford to make that move remains to be seen.

With Eriksen’s deal expiring at the end of the season, Conte’s previous admission on the midfielder could come true in the coming months. Back in January he said: “For sure, Eriksen is part of Tottenham's story. To come back here would be a good opportunity for him, for me, for the club, but now he's signed for Brentford, only six months, and we'll see what happens.”

Discussing the midfielder in his pre-match press conference, Conte said: “About Olly Skipp, we have to wait. He's not ready. He's still not ready and we need to have patience with him to try to solve his problem”
