Thursday's Tottenham Hotspur transfer talk news roundup: Leon Bailey, Christian Eriksen, Marcus Forss

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Tottenham on Thursday, December 10.

The summer transfer window has now closed, with Tottenham Hotspur having enjoyed one of their busiest and most exciting windows to date.

Gareth Bale made his return to the club on loan from Real Madrid, while Spurs also spent big on the likes of Sergio Reguilon, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Matt Doherty in addition to loaning Carlos Vinicius. Attention will now switch to the January window 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.

Thursday morning's Tottenham Hotspur transfer talk news roundup:


Arsenal, Manchester United 'to scout Leon Bailey on Thursday'

Arsenal and Manchester United will reportedly both scout Bayer Leverkusen attacker Leon Bailey during Thursday's Europa League clash with Slavia Prague.

The 23-year-old has been in impressive form for his German club during the 2020-21 campaign, scoring five times and contributing six assists in 14 appearances in all competitions.

Bailey has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, and according to the Daily Mail, scouts from both Arsenal and United will be keeping a close eye on his performance in the Europa League.

The report claims that Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are also expected to scout the attacker ahead of potential approaches in 2021.

Leverkusen are in a strong position when it comes to the Jamaica international's future as the Bundesliga giants have him on a contract until the summer of 2023.

Bailey, who largely operates as a right-sided attacker, has scored 29 times and registered 21 assists since arriving at BayArena from Genk in January 2017.



Arsenal still in hunt for Inter Milan midfielder Christian Eriksen?

Arsenal reportedly still remain a possible option for Christian Eriksen as he attempts to escape from his Inter Milan nightmare.

The playmaker has had a bad time of things since arriving at San Siro in January, struggling to win a place in the side due to Antonio Conte's formation.

Inter have publicly stated that they will not stand in Eriksen's way should he wish to leave, and a return to the Premier League has been strongly touted.

Arsenal are one of the sides to have been linked, despite the Denmark international previously spending six-and-a-half seasons with North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

According to Italian outlet Calciomercato, the Gunners are continuing to weigh up an approach ahead of the January window.

Borussia Dortmund, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Inter's domestic rivals Juventus have also supposedly showed an interest.
