Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Tottenham on Saturday, July 18.

The buildup to the summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Tottenham Hotspur eye possible reinforcements.

Spurs were among the biggest spenders during the January transfer window but are expected to be active again in the summer as Jose Mourinho continues to mould his squad.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Saturday morning's Tottenham Hotspur transfer talk news roundup:

Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has refused to discuss Jan Vertonghen's future at the club, with the defender's contract in North London about to run out.

Speculation has been rife regarding the defender's next career move as of late, with Vertonghen's contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium set to expire at the end of the Premier League season after he penned a short-term extension.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the 33-year-old's future, Mourinho has remained tight-lipped with regards to Vertonghen's contract situation.

"I cannot say that, it's not for me to say that," Mourinho said during a press conference.

"Someone who has been in the club for eight months cannot speak about somebody who has eight years of brilliant contribution to the club."

Vertonghen has amassed 315 appearances for Spurs since his arrival in 2012, but the Belgium international has only made the starting lineup once since football in England returned amid the coronavirus pandemic.



Tottenham Hotspur 'to sign Wigan Athletic teenager

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly close to signing Wigan Athletic teenager Alfie Devine.

At a time when the club are in administration, the entire first-team squad at the DW Stadium is effectively up for sale.

However, according to the Daily Mail, Spurs have instead moved to secure the signature of 15-year-old youth team player Devine.

The move comes after the midfielder made a positive impression against the North London outfit during their FA Youth Cup tie earlier this season.

The report suggests that Spurs will have to pay in the region of £500,000 should Devine activate a number of clauses over the coming years.
