Tottenham is reportedly planning a surprise, "attractive" deal for a Chelsea forward.

According to a shocking claim, Tottenham Hotspur is preparing a bid to sign Christopher Nkunku, a forward for Chelsea. 

Thesportmoment explains why such a trade is highly unlikely to occur.

Both Chelsea and Tottenham, two aspirational Premier League teams, will participate in the Champions League the next season. 

Spurs secured their spot after winning the Europa League, while the Blues earned a spot in Europe's top club competition after placing fourth in the Premier League standings.

Spurs, like all other teams, will make additions during the summer transfer window, and Nkunku, a forward for Chelsea, is one of the players they have been connected to. 

Since joining Chelsea in 2023, Nkunku has failed to make a significant impression. 

This season, the French attacker earned just nine Premier League starts under Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca.

This season, Maresca has primarily employed Nkunku as a center-forward, and the 27-year-old hasn't done well. 

Fichajes claims that Tottenham has developed feelings for Nkunku and is preparing a surprise raid on Chelsea to acquire him. 

With a €45 million (£38 million, $51 million) option to purchase Nkunku, Spurs are "willing to negotiate an initial loan.

Chelsea, who are looking to offload a player who hasn't had the expected impact this season and at the same time recoup some of their investment," the report further stated, may find this proposal appealing.

Why Nkunku's transfer from Chelsea to Tottenham is highly improbable

The claim that Tottenham intends to raid Chelsea for Nkunku should be regarded with caution as Fichajes is not one of the most trustworthy sources.

Since Carlo Cudicini left the Blues for Spurs on a free transfer in January 2009, there haven't been any senior player transfers between the two Premier League teams, Tottenham and Chelsea, who are fierce rivals in London. 

Tottenham is unlikely to be overly eager to make such a needless acquisition, and Nkunku has not had the best of years at Chelsea.

Although England international Cole Palmer plays as a number 10 at Chelsea, the Frenchman performs best in that position.

James Maddison is a natural number ten, while Dejan Kulusevski, a teammate at Tottenham, can also play out wide and function in that position. 

In addition, Chelsea has set a very high price for the Frenchman. On May 23, Rudy Galetti, the Italian correspondent for Thesportmoment, reported that Chelsea had ordered Juventus to pay €70 million (£59 million, $79 million) for Nkunku. 

Thesportmoment has been informed by sources that Juventus has already contacted Chelsea over a summer transfer for the attacker.

According to Thesportmoment, Newcastle United is also interested in the 27-year-old. Nkunku is also admired by Bayern Munich, who have investigated a potential trade for the Chelsea player. 

Tottenham's offer to recruit Nkunku on loan for the upcoming season is unlikely to even be considered by Chelsea as a permanent option because of the high level of interest in him.

Spurs' top picks for the playmaker and Postecoglou's future

A report claims that Tottenham is the clear favourite to sign one of Europe's top playmakers.

What the Tottenham players want chairman Daniel Levy to do about head coach Postecoglou's future has been made public. Spurs, meanwhile, are predicted to sign Mathys Tel on loan from Bayern Munich at a discounted price.

Manchester United’s summer shake-up is well underway—and the transfer merry-go-round is spinning faster than ever. While Marcus Rashford has already sealed a surprising loan move to Barcelona, all eyes are now on another big name: Antony . The Brazilian winger's future at Old Trafford hangs in the balance, and with his European options dwindling, Saudi Arabia’s top clubs are now preparing to swoop in. Let’s break down what’s really going on, who wants Antony, why his dream return to Spain has fallen apart—and how it all fits into United’s wider transfer drama. Antony Could Be Next Out the Door at Man Utd Manchester United look set to enter the new season with a very different squad from last year. Rashford’s departure was just the beginning. Now, Antony , Jadon Sancho , Alejandro Garnacho , and Tyrell Malacia are all believed to be on the exit list. Among them, Antony has become the center of the latest transfer buzz. Although his preference was to remain in Europe, especia...

A frightening sixth Liverpool summer acquisition is "close," with Slot being praised for a "no brainer" move.

According to several journalists and commentators, Liverpool is "close" to reaching a personal terms deal to recruit Marc Guehi. However, the Reds have been cautioned that the acquisition of the England player may mean the exit of an Arne Slot favourite. Even though the Premier championship champions won the championship by a margin of ten points during Slot's first season as manager, the Dutchman is still going after the transfer market this summer.  Milos Kerkez will join Giorgi Mamardashvili (who signed a deal last summer), Jeremie Frimpong, Armin Pecsi, and Florian Wirtz as new Liverpool players after his transfer to the club was finalised and an announcement is anticipated soon. Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes are far from finished, even though they have signed five players.  It is increasingly thought that they still want two more before the market closes on Monday, September 1.  Additionally, they are still keeping an eye out for a new striker and defende...

Fabrizio Romano confirms the unexpected fresh Antony inquiry as the Manchester United outcast selects his next team.

After a surprising Serie A team approached for the services of undesired winger Antony, Manchester United's ambitions of starting a bidding war over him are gaining momentum. Fabrizio Romano has also made it clear where the Brazilian sees himself next season. The 16-time Brazil captain hardly ever gave the Manchester United supporters any proof of why Erik ten Hag had persuaded the board to pay the second-highest sum in the club's history for the winger when he went from Ajax in the summer of 2022. It was not surprising when the Red Devils let him go after he had a dismal return of 17 goal contributions (12 goals, five assists) in 96 appearances. He spent the final half of the 2024–25 season on loan at Real Betis. However, the player's confidence was greatly boosted by the move to La Liga, and Antony found a manager in Manuel Pellegrini who could bring his hidden brilliance to light.  With 14 goals in just 26 games for the Andalusian team, he helped lead Los Verdiblancos to...
