Tottenham enquire about Pulisic - Monday's gossip
August 30, 2026 20:59
Reports on Monday’s transfer rumour round-up name a number of Premier League clubs linked with moves across Europe. Tottenham have reportedly made an enquiry to AC Milan about United States winger Christian Pulisic, while Liverpool and Everton are both said to be tracking Stuttgart winger Jamie Leweling. Crystal Palace are understood to want to retain goalkeeper Dean Henderson following a bid from Nottingham Forest.
Other reported links include Newcastle exploring a move for Lille forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo (though no negotiations are advanced), Everton working on a second loan for Jack Grealish, and interest from several clubs in younger talents such as Christian Kofane and Lucca Brughmans. Palace and Fulham have been reported to hold talks over Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Larsson, with a fee of about £25m mentioned, and Palace have revived discussions over Quinten Timber. Juventus are reportedly keeping Joshua Zirkzee on their radar, contingent on another striker’s potential exit.
KEY CONTEXT
- The items summarised are drawn from a mix of media reports cited in the original roundup (Teamtalk, Sky Sport Germany, Athletic, Mail, Football Insider, Ben Jacobs, Sky Sport Italy and others).
- Several of the links concern young players or loan deals rather than completed transfers.
- Some reports explicitly state that negotiations are not advanced or that a potential move would depend on other transfers taking place.
WHY IT MATTERS
These reported enquiries and interests indicate active transfer-market positioning among Premier League clubs and their continental counterparts. Potential moves for established internationals like Pulisic or for emerging talents such as Leweling and Larsson could influence club attacking options and squad planning. Conditional links — for example Juventus’ interest in Zirkzee hinging on another departure — show how one transfer can affect subsequent decisions.
WHAT TO WATCH NEXT
- Whether AC Milan respond to Tottenham’s reported enquiry about Christian Pulisic.
- If Nottingham Forest’s bid for Dean Henderson leads to further talks or remains rebuffed by Crystal Palace.
- Progress on talks over Hugo Larsson and whether a fee near £25m is agreed.
- Whether Everton complete a second loan deal for Jack Grealish and if Newcastle’s interest in Fernandez-Pardo develops into formal negotiations.
- Whether Juventus’ pursuit of Joshua Zirkzee advances depending on any move involving Jonathan David.
