Tottenham transfer round up: Spurs and Chelsea battle for League One star as quartet near exit

Tottenham made a flying start to the new Premier League campaign with an emphatic 4-1 win over Southampton at home.

Conte has been busy in the transfer market this summer with six new players , three of whom - Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma and Clement Lenglet - came off the bench in the win over Saints.

Next up Tottenham visit Chelsea on Sunday in the Premier League as Conte aims to improve on last term's fourth place finish.

But as well as more potential incomings, outgoings are also likely - and Mirror Football takes a look at the latest speculation.

Spurs to battle Chelsea for starlet

Tottenham face Chelsea on the pitch this weekend but off the pitch they are also shaping up for a battle for Peterborough defender Ronnie Edwards.

The 19-year-old has been impressing for club and country, making 38 appearances last term for the Championship club before featuring in the winning England U19 Euros squad this summer.

Posh have been relegated to League One and now football.london believe both Spurs and London are keen on the teenager.

Posh director of football Barry Fry said: "Spurs have been watching him for a long time, but so have other clubs. There is a big German club showing interest which is no real surprise as they love to take young English players and develop them."

Quartet facing the exit before end of window

Unwanted Tottenham stars Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso, Sergio Reguilon and Harry Winks have been banished from the first-team and are training individually, as the club continues to look for buyers before the end of the transfer window, according to the Standard.

The quartet have been working alone and at separate times from the rest of Conte's squad since the club returned from their pre-season tour of South Korea as the head coach only wishes to work with a certain number of players.

Spurs are trying to offload the four now but there is an acceptance that their futures are unlikely to be resolved until the final week of the transfer window, and possibly on deadline day.

Ndombele and Lo Celso - the club's record signings until this summer - are attracting interest from Villarreal, where the latter spent the second half of last season on loan.

Spurs reluctant to bid for Depay

Tottenham are unlikely to pursue a transfer deal for Barcelona forward Memphis Depay because of the options they already have in attack.

That’s according to Fabrizio Romano, writing in his exclusive column for CaughtOffside, despite the Italian journalist admitting he thinks Depay looks like a great opportunity for top clubs in this market.

Depay might not have lived up to expectations in his time at Barca so far but he shone during his time at Lyon and is now available.

But Spurs are reluctant to make a move as they have the likes of Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski, as well as new signing Richarlison in that area of the pitch.
