Deal for Dele

Dele Alli looks set to be the next big star to sign a new deal at Tottenham Hotspur this summer. Following on from manager Mauricio Pochettino and striker Harry Kane it appears that the England international will sign a new deal to remain in North London in the coming days.

The London Evening Standard report that the deal will be worth around £100k-a-week and will keep him at the club long-term.

He is currently on £60,000-a-week and this will be a huge wage increase for the player, who has been a hit ever since joining from MK Dons.

The report claims Spurs are also hoping to tie down Christian Eriksen, Jan Vertonghen, Eric Dier, Heung-min Son and Kieran Trippier by the end of the summer.   

Rafinha wanted

Tottenham have joined the race for Barcelona midfielder Rafinha, according to reports in Spain. It is suggested by Sport that Spurs are now in the hunt for the £30.8 million midfield maestro, with Inter Milan pulling out of the race.

The talented Brazilian international has been told he has no future at the Nou Camp and is therefore set to leave. Spurs could see him as a replacement for Mousa Dembele, whose future is in doubt.

Eriksen glitch

The same publication is now reporting that Barcelona may use Rafinha in any bid to sign Christian Eriksen this summer. Barca have earmarked the Dane as the perfect replacement for the exiting Andres Iniesta this summer.
