Tottenham has continued to invest heavily in new signings this summer, and the club’s latest reported transfer pursuit could see Spurs go head to head with Arsenal once again.
After narrowly avoiding relegation last season, Tottenham is rebuilding its squad with the aim of returning to European competition as quickly as possible. The club has already made significant additions and appears determined to strengthen further before the transfer window closes.
Tottenham enter the race for Rogers
Tottenham has already secured one Arsenal target by completing a surprise big-money move for Sandro Tonali. Now, according to Give Me Sport, Spurs have turned their attention to Morgan Rogers as they continue to reshape their squad.
Rogers has been a long-term target for Arsenal, with the Gunners reportedly planning to approach him once the World Cup has concluded. The attacker has established himself as one of England’s standout performers and has consistently impressed with his displays.
His performances also played an important role in helping Villa win the Europa League, further increasing interest in his signature. Arsenal remains keen to strengthen its attacking options, but Tottenham is now prepared to compete directly for the player.
Arsenal faces fresh competition
The report states that Tottenham’s spending is not yet complete, with Roberto de Zerbi eager to add Rogers to his squad before the start of the new season. Spurs are reportedly prepared to challenge Arsenal in the race to secure the attacker’s signature.
For Arsenal, preventing a direct rival from landing one of its key transfer targets could become just as important as completing the signing itself. The Gunners will therefore be hoping to move quickly if they decide to formalise their interest after the World Cup.
With both North London clubs reportedly interested in Rogers, the battle for his signature could become one of the most closely watched transfer stories of the summer. Whether Arsenal or Tottenham succeeds may ultimately depend on which club can reach an agreement first.

Spurs DON’T WANT OR NEED RODGERS.
Going to the champions or the relegation battlers? It really is a no-brainer
Wild if Spurs have £110m-£130m available still for Rogers not withstanding he would decide to leave a CL club for a club that finished 17th two years running instead of holding out for Arsenal..with all due respect.
Why do you say ‘hold out for Arsenal’? How do you know he wants either club? He could be waiting for a continental giant to come sniffing.
As far as I am aware Rogers has no particular love of Arsenal.
On social media, there is a lot of nonsense about Manchester United being willing to pay £110 million plus add-ons, which is absurd if the £35 million release clause is accurate.
But no one thought we would sign Fernandes or Tonali, so who knows, and right now it’s possible for Spurs to drop £110m on him.
Yes, Spurs have the money and are able to spend an additional £250 to £350 million, but would they? The home-grown player component at Spurs is the problem, not the money. It is absurd that we are on the verge of having a team that we can’t use. For this reason, I believe we will give priority to homegrown players and laugh at the notion of selling Spence.
The 2 x 17th positions are an anomaly compared to an average spot of 3rd over last 20 odd years, they finished twice a couple of times,
If any player likes the ambition and believes in de zerbis direction then with the wages available it’s still attractive.
And high quality players will play 90 mins every game for them and won’t compete for places,
Sometimes a quality midfielder would choose to be a spuds big player than a squad rotation player at arsenal or someone similar
Some of the targets won’t want to play 2nd fiddle to rice for example or saka or eze
That’s why kroupie junior turned down PSG,.yes better club than spuds but he won’t play , so what’s the point for him ?
Better going to them, play every game get into Europe next season and move onto bigger things in couple of years.
If he goes to them lot down the road, it shows he has no ambition to win anything.
Fortunately for Arsenal, Rogers is not from De Zerbi’s hometown. Rogers has personality and is still young!!! he won’t lose his head>
Let’s see how Rogers performs under pressure against Argentina this evening.He has been selected in the starting eleven on what appears to be the right wing where he is unlikely to feature if he joins Arsenal.That said, he has the pace and power to get to the byline where he can cross on the run with his natural right foot.
This comment has aged really well 🤣
I think he was one of the stand in the team. His ball carrying and willingness to contribute in defence was top notch. Apart from his assist, he worked his socks off which is one of the qualities Arteta loves in his players.
By the way, I was wishing we get Enzo instead of Bruno, even before his goal, he was a fighter and everywhere. Spending 100+m on Enzo makes more sense than 100m on Bruno any day.
The problem ALL pl clubs have now with Tottenham, is that thier funding comes from commercial interests and a low wage strategy which allows them to spend just a little under 500k in this window and still stay within the rules and they have the cash ! Its going to be a bit like a cash buyer for your house or waiting till money is available from the sale of yours – players, before you can commit. They will pay over the odds, as they have, for players that De Zerbi wants for his syle of play.
They are not man city neither are they Manchester or Liver pool. Arsenal will not panic because they want to enter the race for Rogers. They can go ahead.
I don’t believe this one bit. I doubt they can afford it, and I seriously doubt Rogers would go Spurs over Arsenal. Why leave Villa for Spurs, lol?
Arsenal don’t need Rogers as better to get Julian Alvarez who can play in attack with Victor Gyokeres or drift wide on left side to compensate for loss of Trossard or even play attacking midfield if Max Dowman isn’t used to replace Odegaard or Eze.
Sorry, I beg to disagree. From what I’ve seen of Rogers, he’s more needed in this Arsenal team than Alvarez, unless the likes of Kai and Jesus are both leaving. I saw a little of Alvarez last season and I can confirm he’s a complete forward with all the attributes, however, Rogers is more needed and can offer most of the things Alvarez would and more with the exception of maybe goals. Defence, midfield, attack.
Highly debatable. Arsenal need goals. Alvarez would more likely provide that than Rogers. Rogers is good but somewhat overrated by certain football fans. We are told Roger’s will cost upwards of £100million. That would be a big gamble.
Suggesting that Arsenal are as motivated by a desire to prevent a rival from improving is really dim witted. Arsenal don’t buy players to keep them away from other teams. And I’m afraid that Tottenham is really not a club that Arsenal pays much attention to.
Even when Spurs finished in the top half Arsenal focused on improving their own team, not Spurs, or any other team.
Also, very hard to see Morgan Rogers join Spurs if he has an offer from Arsenal. Why would anyone choose a team that finished 17th the last 2 seasons vs the PL champions?
Don’t you know?
Money is the reason.
Why do you think Fernandez and Tonali went there?
The promise of Champions League football?
When laid against a massive weekly salary Champions League football is just a pleasant bonus..
Rogers performance i saw today against Argentina is not a world class one. Arsenal need something better.
Did you really watch the match? Was Alvarez any better? The coach let him down for lack of players to complement him. Who was better in that team yesterday anyways? And as soon as they started playing with 5 defenders in order to see the game out, everything changed. I guess you should rewatch the match focusing on his performance without sentiments.
