Tuesday's Spurs transfer talk: Cakir, Kepa, Willian

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Tottenham on Tuesday, July 14.

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.

Tuesday morning's Tottenham Hotspur transfer talk news roundup:

Bayern Munich 'eye Premier League raid for Tanguy Ndombele, Tiemoue Bakayoko'

Bayern Munich are reportedly lining up a double raid on the Premier League for French midfielders Tanguy Ndombele and Tiemoue Bakayoko.

The German champions are keen to bolster their midfield ranks this summer ahead of the expected departures of Thiago Alcantara and Javi Martinez, while Corentin Tolisso has also been linked with a move away.

Le 10 Sport claims that Tottenham Hotspur's Ndombele and Chelsea outcast Bakayoko are two of the names on their list of possible targets.

Ndombele's future has come under scrutiny following an alleged bust-up with manager Jose Mourinho, although Spurs would be keen to recoup most, if not all, of the club-record £55m they spent to sign him just last summer.

One way around that hefty fee could be a loan deal, which Bayern have utilised to bring in James Rodriguez and Philippe Coutinho from Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively recently.

Bayern could also make a loan bid for Bakayoko, who is valued at €35m (£31.4m) by Chelsea but is deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge and spent the 2019-20 campaign on loan at Monaco.

Bayern could face competition for Bakayoko, though, with Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan and other clubs in Germany also thought to be interested in his signature.

Chelsea winger Willian 'rejects lucrative move to Inter Miami'

Chelsea winger Willian has reportedly turned down the chance to join David Beckham's new MLS franchise Inter Miami when his contract at Stamford Bridge expires.

The 31-year-old is due to leave Chelsea at the end of this season, having failed to agree a long-term extension to his expiring contract.

Willian is understood to want a new three-year deal with the London outfit, but that would go against club policy for players over the age of 30 and the Blues are only willing to offer him a two-year extension.

A number of clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, have been credited with an interest in the Brazilian, and The Telegraph reports that Beckham's Inter Miami have lodged a lucrative contract offer.

However, Willian has rejected that as he still believes that he is playing at a level which could see him succeed at a top European club.

Willian has scored 11 goals and created nine more in 44 appearances across all competitions this season, including four goals and two assists in five games since lockdown.
