Kyle Walker may be fit for Tottenham's game against
Aston Villa next week and be ready for the England World Cup
squad.
The Daily Mail reports that Spurs are considering
Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino for Tim
Sherwood's replacement in the summer and that his
tenuous grasp of English be an issue. The article also
claims that Rafa Benitez, the Napoli boss, is also in
the frame, but that Frank de Boer's announcement to
the press last week that he had been approached by Spurs has
seen him lose favour among the hierarchy at White Hart Lane.
The dame paper reckons that Hugo Lloris is set to
leave Spurs to seek Champions League football and Barcelona
are interested, where he may be managed by Frank de Boer,
who the La Liga club are looking at to replace Gerardo
Martino.
Stoke City and Crystal Palace are keen on signing Harry
Kane in the summer for £5 million according to the
Sunday Mirror. QPR could also be interested if they
manage to gain promotion back to the top flight
Andros Townsend is named by the Mirror as one player
who might be part of a big clear-out at Spurs in the summer,
with him making his way to Southampton in a deal that would
bring Adam Lallana to White Hart Lane, although the
Saints man looks keen on joining Liverpool.
Southampton might make a move for him anyway, with Nacer
Chadli and Gylfi Sigurdsson also leaving
Tottenham if Tim Sherwood is still in charge next
season. Paulinho has also had a falling out
with the current Head Coach and may be another leaver during
the close season.
