However, the deal stalled as Evangelos Marinakis threatened to report Tottenham to the Premier League over what he deemed to be an illegal approach, and in the meantime, was able to convince Morgan Gibbs-White to sign a new deal. Now – according to AS in Spain – Tottenham are ready to turn attention towards Rodrygo after this development.

Tottenham came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw with Wycombe Wanderers in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Hotspur Way. A late addition to Spurs’ pre-season schedule, the fixture was only announced on Wednesday with Thomas Frank explaining it was designed to give players as many minutes as possible heading into the new season.
