Tottenham transfer news latest: Dani Ceballos, Nicolo Zaniolo, Giovani Lo Celso, Dani Olmo, Toby Alderweireld

Tottenham are looking to add to their squad after a busy start to the summer

Tottenham Hotspur have apparently finally agreed a deal to sign Dani Ceballos from Real Madrid.

Spurs have already shattered their all-time transfer record by signing Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon for £55m this summer, but Mauricio Pochettino is determined to recruit at least one more midfielder as he overhauls his ageing squad.

And, according to reports in Spain, that man could be Ceballos with an agreement now close.

The 22-year-old shone for Spain at the European Under-21 Championship in Italy and with Real Madrid looking to shift some of their fringe players could be available for a figure in the region of £44m.

However, today's reports claim a loan deal is in the offing with the option to buy at the end of the season.

Spurs are also interested in Roma wonderkid Nicolo Zaniolo and are willing to throw Toby Alderweireld in to get him.

The Italians are keen to sign a centre-back after selling Kostas Manolas to Napoli and Spurs are ready to bid £16m plus Alderweireld for the 20-year-old.

Juventus are also keen on Zaniolo, but Roma would prefer to sell abroad given their hostility between the clubs.

Corriere dello Sport report that Roma are happy with the deal on offer with Spurs now set to try and persuade the player himself to make the move.

However, talks over Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso have stalled, according to Sky Sports News.

The 23-year-old Argentina international is one of Pochettino’s top targets this summer and is seen as a ready-made replacement for Christian Eriksen, should the Dane depart for the bright lights of Real Madrid.

But Betis are holding firm over their £70m valuation of Lo Celso, who last season scored 16 goals and registered six assistant in 46 matches for the club.

That’s more than Tottenham are currently prepared to spend, with the club needed to sell some deadwood before they can finance another huge move.

Spain U21 international Dani Olmo has also emerged as a target for Pochettino’s side. Olmo currently plays in Croatia with Dynamo Zagreb and would cost £22m, according to Mucho Deporte.

Olmo is also being targeted by Manchester United, however, Spurs reportedly already have an agreement with the player’s agent.

The Daily Mail report that Fulham full-back Ryan Sessegnon remains a target. Sessegnon, who Spurs value at around £30m, could swap west for north London in a deal which could include his twin brother Steven.

The Mail has also reported that the club are continuing to keep tabs on Norwich’s Max Aarons.

Spurs are also ready to challenge Manchester City for Bournemouth’s centre-half Nathan Ake, according to L’Equipe.

The champions are keen on the Dutch international but Spurs could join the chase too. The Cherries want upwards of £40m for the former Chelsea man.
