At a glance:
- Barcelona want Luka Vuskovic
- Richarlison could return to Everton
- Tottenham injury update ahead of Leeds
Tottenham don’t play until Monday evening, but preparations for the home Premier League clash against Leeds United are well underway.
In the meantime, Roberto De Zerbi has spoken to the media to preview the game, while there have been updates regarding the futures of Luka Vuskovic and Richarlison.
Luka Vuskovic wanted by Barcelona
Luka Vuskovic is one of the best young defenders on the planet and is all set to return to Tottenham in the summer after his loan spell with Hamburg expires.
In the meantime, though, his agent, Pini Zahavi, has been a busy man.
Florian Plettenberg reports that he has held talks with Barcelona over a potential transfer, while a return to Hamburg on loan also can’t be ruled out.
Tottenham need to keep Vuskovic at the club at all costs next season and give him a chance to fight for a first-team spot.
Richarlison could leave Tottenham
Richarlison is Tottenham’s top scorer this season and there’s no doubting his commitment to the team.
That said, the summer could be an interesting time for the Brazilian as his contract expires next year.
With no talks of a potential extension, he could be on the move.

Triple Tottenham injury update
Roberto De Zerbi spoke to the media yesterday and addressed a wide range of topics.
Archie Gray has been tipped to captain Tottenham despite an underwhelming start to life under the Italian. De Zerbi also confirmed that Tottenham will look to sign Joao Palhinha permanently, with his loan spell set to expire at the end of the season.
