Tottenham Lunchtime Round-Up, Tuesday 3rd November 2026: Spurs Scouting Brazilian Goalkeeper as Lankshear Regret Lingers

Tottenham have been running the rule over Cruzeiro goalkeeper Otávio, though Spurs Web reports a £17m asking price could prove a stumbling block to any move (Spurs Web).

The Will Lankshear saga continues to rumble on, with Spurs Web suggesting the striker's recent form is making his summer sale look like an increasingly costly call, with questions even being asked about an England call-up (Spurs Web). Football.London adds that Middlesbrough look to be reaping the rewards of that transfer plan, with suggestions Tottenham are missing a natural goalscorer as a result (Football.London).

On the transfer front, Spurs Web reports that a move for Conor Gallagher to Everton is seen as unlikely, though two unnamed clubs are said to be keen on the £35m midfielder ahead of January (Spurs Web).

There's a much brighter mood around the first-team performances, though. Football.London reports that Archie Gray and Mateus Fernandes have identified what they believe has finally clicked for the side after three straight Premier League wins (Football.London). Spurs Web also notes that Jan Paul van Hecke's influence helped Tottenham set an all-time club record for passes in a single Premier League match during the win over Crystal Palace (Spurs Web). And there was a lighter moment too, with Archie Gray explaining the funny story behind his goal celebration after his header against Palace, comparing himself jokingly to Alan Shearer (Spurs Web).
