Gary Neville makes Chelsea top four claim as Tottenham star slammed over ‘baffling’ decision
All the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding Chelsea and Tottenham after wins for both clubs,
Following victories for both London clubs, Chelsea and Tottenham are in a high mood heading into the international break.
Following a dismal start to the season, Chelsea rallied from behind to easily defeat Burnley away from home. Meanwhile, Tottenham defeated Luton Town with 10 men to move atop the Premier League. Chelsea will want to get closer to the top six, while Spurs will want to maintain their current winning streak going into a winnable stretch of games following the break.
We have compiled all of the most recent transfer rumors and news regarding both teams in the meantime.
Garth Crooks, a BBC pundit, criticized Yves Bissouma for diving and getting sent off against Luton.
Why Yves Bissouma decided to dive after receiving a booking earlier in the game is beyond comprehension, according to Crooks.
“His second caution was entirely justified, and Tottenham’s coaching staff needs to address such recklessness right away before a more costly situation arises against a much bigger club.”
Neville claim
Elsewhere, gary Neville has been speaking about Chelsea and what they need if they are going to finish in the top four this season.
Chelsea are not far away if they get a center-forward and a center-half, he stated on the Gary Neville Podcast. Despite spending a billion pounds, they still require two players.
In order to deal with the forward portion of that allegation, Chelsea will probably need to sign another center-back. However, with Christopher Nkunku still recovering from an injury, they may not need to do so. Mauricio Pochettino has made it obvious that he needs more depth up top despite the availability of Nkunku, Armando Broja, and Nicolas Jackson. It is unclear whether the Blues would spend heavily again in January.

Report: Tottenham ready to break the bank for triple summer transfers in 2024
Mikel Merino, Victor Osimhen, and Edmond Tapsoba have been designated by Tottenham Hotspur as summer 2024 transfers.
Under Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham Hotspur has experienced a comeback, and they can only keep getting better as long as they make the proper moves in the upcoming transfer windows.
Spurs recently completed a successful transfer window in the summer of 2023, at which time they acquired several talented players for the senior team. Postecoglou has made every effort to incorporate them into his techniques, and so far, it is reaping enormous rewards.
Tottenham is now undefeated in the league and close to overtaking early leaders Arsenal. Although speculation of a Premier League title run is still early, the signals are encouraging.
It is now essential that we maintain our strength in the next windows and expand upon the foundation we have already established. As evidence, Spurs have created a tantalizing wishlist for the 2024 summer transfer window, indicating that this is the goal.
Tottenham are reportedly interested in Mikel Merino of Real Sociedad as well as Victor Osimhen of Napoli and Edmond Tapsoba of Bayer Leverkusen.
The lively team of Yves Bissouma and James Maddison would be enhanced by the addition of merino in particular. Postecoglou will have a roster that is ready to take the league by storm if Pape Matar Sarr is added.
On the other hand, Osimhen will be nothing less than a headline signing. If there is one apparent problem for Spurs right now, it is the absence of an unflappable goal scorer since Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich.
The Nigerian international, who led the Serie A charts last season, would cost us about €120 million. He is a proven goal scorer. What’s to say he can’t pull the same ruse in North London after cementing his legacy in Naples?
The acquisitions of Cristian Romeo and Micky van de Ven have significantly improved Tottenham’s defensive performance. They had previously been associated with Tapsoba, but no agreement could be reached. It seems likely that the pursuit will pick back up next summer.
If everything goes according to plan, Tottenham should finish the current season with a trophy and UEFA Champions League eligibility. It should undoubtedly improve our standing and make us a more desirable location for the top athletes in the world.
